Module 4 – SLP

MICROBIAL APPLICATIONS AND VIROLOGY

Bioremediation is the use of organisms like bacteria, archea or fungi to metabolize pollutants. Instead of simply collecting the pollutant, bioremediation relies on living organisms to consume and break down the compound, turning it into a natural, harmless product. This technique is often used to help clean up major oil spills. Watch the following video and article link to learn more:

Oil-Eating Bacteria Could Be a Solution to Spill Cleanups. National Geographic. Accessed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPgLJrk0sGQ on September 14, 2016.

Address the following questions in essay format:

Research a microbe that can be used in bioremediation and provide the following information:

1) Provide the scientific name and identification of the bacteria that is used in bioremediation. How is it classified? Give a brief description of your bacteria. What is it’s normal environment?

2) Which biogeochemical cycle does the bacterium participate in (Carbon, nitrogen, or phosphorus cycling)? How is this important to its role in bioremediation?

3) How are bacteria as a whole being genetically modified to improve bioremediation?

3) What are some limitations to using bacteria for bioremediation? 

SLP Assignment Expectations

Page Length: 2 to 3 pages

Format            

TUI encourages all students to comply with APA style and format guidelines for proper citation of references.  Use the formatting in your Background page as a model for citing sources from the SLP assignment.

Scholarly Content                   

Your case assignments are considered scholarly works. Your final work should include peer reviewed (scholarly) sources. 

Please keep in mind that you should not use sources such as “Answers.com” or “Wikipedia” or “Wikianswers.”  None of these are scholarly sources and they can be “modified” by any registered user which makes them unreliable. Upload your final word document to the SLP dropbox.

 Discuss the health literacy issues among a select vulnerable population and describe two practices that nurses employ to facilitate a healthy lifestyle. Include a rationale for your choice. 

the course text book and a peer reviewed Nursing journal (from database not the internet) not older than 5 years are required as references. 

Complete a 2-3 page sociological analysis of your name, looking at how your naming may have been impacted by culture, gender, and time period.

Introduction

Sociology is interested in better understanding the social contexts of our social lives. Much of what we experience in life is impacted by the culture in which we live. The ways of life found around the world differ, not only in forms of dress, preferred foods, and musical tastes, but also in family patterns and beliefs about right and wrong. These differences can be attributed to culture—our collective beliefs, values, and objects. While we oftentimes see names as a reflection of who we are as individuals, they are the product of larger social forces. Using your sociological imagination, you can reflect on your name and how it is impacted by culture.

Note: Many resources will be coming from The Society Pages blog. While it is good to question the validity of most blogs, The Society Pages contains blog posts from experts in the field of sociology and thus have higher validity.

Demonstration of Proficiency

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

• Competency 4: Analyze the influence of culture on both the individual and society.
  • Describe how your name is shaped by the social world around you.
  • Examine the role of culture in naming.
• Competency 5: Analyze the impact of social change on society and social institutions.
  • Discuss the influence of social change regarding how we understand names.
• Competency 6: Compose text that articulates meaning relevant to its purpose and audience.
  • Develop text using organization, structure, and transitions that demonstrate understanding of cohesion between main and subtopics.

This assessment requires you to do some research on your name. How popular was your name when you were born? What does your name mean? Based on what you learned from your research, discuss your own name. How is something as simple as a name shaped by the social world around us? How has your name been impacted by time period, culture, your gender, et cetera? How might your name be different if you had been born one hundred years earlier? Why?

Deliverable

Part 1 – Discuss your name.

• What is your name?

Part 2 – Examine your name from a sociological perspective.

• Describe how your name has been impacted by time period, culture, gender, et cetera.
• Identify other aspects of the social world that may be related to naming.

Part 3 – Reflect on your name.

• Based on your research and sociological analysis of you name, share your thoughts or perspective on your name or names in general.

Additional Requirements
