In the assigned reading for this unit, you learned about various chemicals that induce reproductive toxicity. Not limiting yourself to the chemicals that are mentioned in the assigned reading, identify a toxicant that causes reproductive toxicity. Develop a research paper that includes the following:background information on the toxicant, its use, and routes of exposure;the process by which this toxicant causes reproductive toxicity and the concentration of exposure;ways exposure to the toxicant might be limited, treated, and/or effects reversed; andrecent research findings (within the last five years) on this toxicant.The research paper should be a minimum of three pages in length, not including the title and reference pages, and written in APA format with proper in-text citations and references. The paper should utilize at least three credible sources that include at least one peer reviewed journal article published within the last five years

Metals are basic elements that do not degrade any further, so they are able to persist in the environment. Metals may not always stay in the same form because they are able to react to form different compounds. Research a metal that was discussed in the textbook reading such as mercury, arsenic, or cadmium. Create a PowerPoint presentation at least seven slides in length, discussing the following:background information on the metal,the cornerstone xenobiotic pharmacokinetic properties and effects of the metal,the bioaccumulative effects of the metal in the environment and how it affects humans and the environment, andconcentration of metal that is considered toxic and symptoms of toxicity by this metal.Your PowerPoint should be a cumulation of what you have learned throughout the course. For instance, if the metal has particular effects on a certain body system or organ, be sure to give information about these effects. The assignment should meet the following requirements:The length should be a minimum of seven slides, not including your title and reference slides.Use speaker notes to explain the key points that are provided in the slides.Include least two visual aids and/or graphics.A minimum of two credible sources should be used for this assignment, and the references should be properly cited in a reference list at the end of the PowerPoin

How will member selection contribute to the goal?What potential issues might arise affecting interprofessional collaboration?What strategies are needed to optimize collaboration and communication among coalition members?Explain potential ethical issues that might be relevant for the coalition to consider in addressing its mission.Consider access to care, financial barriers, environmental constraints, and the distribution of resources.Explain how ethical principles would apply in particular situations on a micro or meso level.Micro level: individual care encounters.Meso level: how systems are organized to deliver and ensure quality care for patients and populations

How does your energy use compare with the average in Santa Clara County? The average home in Santa Clara County uses 540 kWh of electricity per month, or 18 kWh per day. The average home uses 45 therms of natural gas per month, (60 therms in winter and 24 therms in summer) or 1.5 Therms per day. Is your home above or below the average, and why do you think this might be?B) Revision of Energy Conservation Design. Based on your data analysis and what you have learned, how would you revise your design in the future to produce further energy and carbon savings? Justify your suggested changes.C) Reflection. Explain what you learned from participating in the contest. How easy or hard was it to make the changes for yourself and your household? Do you think some of the changes you made could become permanent? Do you think it would be easy or challenging for others to make similar changes? How could the city of San José encourage energy conservation in households?

Analyze your and the class’ data during the conservation period, using the following criteria.? What was your average electricity and natural gas energy use for the baseline period compared to the conservation period? Explain the changes observed (how much electricity, natural gas, and CO2 emissions were saved), and why you did or did not achieve your designed goal.

LA Food Policy Council and a local area organizationDirections: Please take a look at two local area organizations, and answer the related questions. One organization, LA Food Policy Council, you have already seen.1) Go back to the LA Food Policy Council website. I really would like you to take a look at their mission, and the concept of “Good Food.”2) How would you describe “Good Food?” Do you see elements of Agroecology and Regeneration? Please relate this back to some of the concepts in the film or the text book.3) Find another organization here in your own community, that is doing something related to local farming and community building. This might require some digging around.a) Name the organization, and explain what they are doing.b) Explain how the organization incorporates permaculture or community building concepts. You should also see if there are concepts they could improve upon.c) Who are the people this organization impacts—we might call these the beneficiaries, or stakeholders.d) Go to the discussion board and post a picture of something that captures what the organization does. Post their weblink, and give us a couple of sentences explaining them.4) Provide any final thoughts you have on the concepts covered in this unit. Now that you have completed a review of all the material in the course, what are your thoughts about food, and the food system. It’s very possible that you have more questions now than at the beginning of the course. I think that would be a success. Please give me your thoughts in a few sentences.5) Place a picture of a local food organization in your community. Provide a brief description of what they do, and provide a weblink to their site.
