Read the case study “Case 5: Global Medical Coverage” in your textbook, Health policy analysis: An interdisciplinary approach (3rd ed.). In a 4-5 page paper, answer the questions below: What difference did it probably make that BRPP is an ESOP owned by the union members or that the national union is busy recruiting healthcare workers as members? What are the ethical implications of a reward of up to $10,000 for the employee to go to India for a major procedure? If you were a hospital administrator, how would you react when a number of patients and companies began to ask to bargain about prices, including presenting price quotes from companies like IndUShealth? What would be the difference in the bargaining position of an academic medical center and a large tertiary community hospital system? How might state and national governments respond to this increasingly popular phenomenon?

Night Slice: creating a safe, sober space for college students

Essay Topic and Background: I’ve chosen an intriguing topic – exploring the paradox of absence and presence. This decision was inspired by the documentary ‘Social Animals’ and Susan Sontag, which offers a deep dive into this paradox. For a comprehensive understanding of my approach and the groundwork laid so far, I recommend reviewing the document titled “Assignment”. Since this essay is a compile of previous works.
Current Draft and Style: I’ve already initiated the writing process and have a draft in progress. My aim is to retain my unique writing style while enhancing the content based on feedback. The draft, along with the comments received from my professor, is compiled in the document named “comments.”
One of the key areas I want to focus on is integrating my personal journey into the essay. Specifically, I intend to delve deeper into how my perspective on the paradox has evolved through this research.
My goal is to create a compelling narrative that intertwines academic research with personal introspection, thereby offering a unique lens on the paradox of absence and presence.
PLEASE MAKE THE ESSAY A TITLE.
Thank you 🙂

Guide to Finding Your IRP Data Source
First, a few words about what you can’t use:
You cannot use any of the databases that are built into SAS.
I will not accept the following categories for IRPs:
Sports player/teams scores, ranks, or salaries
Parents’ education level impact on student scores
Effects of BMI, sex, or age on insurance costs
Anything about cars cost, weight, engine displacement
Square footage of a house (or any part of it) related to price
GPA relative to test scores
COVID statistics
I will reject choices that are too obvious. For example:
Does square footage affect housing price?
Is there a difference in the average price of cars from different manufacturers?
One more important restriction. If you do an ANOVA, there must be more than two categories for comparison. For example, having categories of only Male and Female would not be acceptable.
Finally, there should be at least 30 records (rows) of data in your data set to make it statistically valid.
Note that you will be submitting TWO FILES for this assignment: The completed memo as a PDF and the actual Excel data file that you will be using.
Use the following IRP Research Question and Data Set Template 2021 to complete this assignment.

Feel free to send me an email if you have any doubts about your research question.
Here are some useful data sources. Note that not all of the data files will be useful for statistical analysis.

———————————————————————————————————————————-
Please Note that the following example is an acceptable Excel Dataset file to work in SAS and Excel. Always submit a Excel Copy of your proposed Dataset, along with the question you are hoping to answer with the data, so I can assess its usefulness:

Notes:
The excel file should have only one (1) top line with titles describing columns of data. Only one line of titles – no additional descriptions like report titles.
Column titles should be kept short – usually one-word short titles are best to process with Excel and SAS.
No footnotes or explanation lines at the bottom since these will not work in SAS of Excel when you try to analyze the data.
You should use *.xlsx Excel Files or “Save As” xlsx file
You can combine two or more Excel files if needed – the process for doing this is described in later videos, but should typically be avoided to keep the files from overwhelming you as you are just beginning to learn SAS.

Respond in 1.000 words PER question (+/-10%)
Refer to the Evaluation Criteria for guidance. Each answer will be graded up to 7,5 points.

– empirical EXAMPLES.
– WELL-STRUCTURED TEXT:
* An introduction: Brief overview of the topic, and descriiptions of how the essay will unfold.
* Main body of the paper: based on a structured discussion of the phenomena and related concepts. Please discuss briefly the main tenets of the theory/approach discussed and then historical events with a focus on how they can be described/explained by the theory/approach
*A short conclusion summing up the paper (Hint: this is a good moment to make your argument/point of view more explicit).
References: there is no need to use references outside of the syllabus. You can use style, but consistently:
E.g.: APA Style:
https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_style_introduction.html
I KNOW I ADDED A LOT OF DOCS, IT’S JUST SO THAT YOU CAN CHOOSE FOR THE CORRESPONDING QUESTION.
There is one general doc (“IR1 Intro.”) where you have the merged slides. As you can see each doc starts with a number from 1 to 8, that is because each number corresponds to one title of the general doc where the slides are.
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE ABOUT WICH READING CORRESPONDS TO WHICH QUESTION, PLEASE ASK ME.

Case Conceptualization Paper: This semester you will need to choose a family therapy model that needs to be presented in our textbook, Case Conceptualization in Family Therapy. Using the Mosley family as your client, you will need to apply your chosen model to the family
Requirement:
a. You will write up a case conceptualization of a family utilizing one of the theoretical approaches discussed in class. I will provide you with a case. The paper should contain the following items [preferably in this order]:
i. (1) abstract; (2) identifying information; (3) presenting
problem(s)/complaint(s); (4) relevant history; (5) larger systems; (6) your theoretical orientation; (7) how this family’s current problem fits into that theory; (8) techniques you would use with this family [including specific questions or directives]; (9) goal of treatment; (10) specific issues related to diversity for this theory; (11) references.
ii. The treatment plan needs to contain at least 10 references garnered from both books and articles (these will mainly come in sections 6-11—which is what this paper is about). These articles and books should be academic in nature and NOT come from websites. Use peer reviewed journals, appropriate books, and use sources directly from the founder(s) of the approach you are using. It should be approximately ten pages, but will probably be longer. Papers are required to follow the latest APA formatting. This is a treatment plan of what you would do with this family, not what you have done. So, write it in future tense when you get to the technique section.

The Neurotransmission Process
Discuss the following:
Describe the complete neurotransmission process in detail. Be sure to begin with the sending (pre-synaptic) cell and options (e.g., reuptake) through how the process ends.
Choose two specific drugs or drug classes. Research the specifics of the neurotransmission process for that substance, such as which neurotransmitters are involved.
