How does the issue of gender play into the issue? Who makes most of the decisions about reproductive health policy? How are these issues complicated by the recent Zika outbreak, both here and the US and in other countries? In your answers please incorporate some discussion of the concept of reproductive justice with the idea in mind that this should include access to abortion, choice to have children, choice to parent, per Kimala Price.

Integrating Waste Heat into a Steam Network for Industry

Introduction Condensate is one of the most valuable resources that can be used to considerably improve the overall efficiency of steam plant in the modern energy conscious environment (Akelaitis, 2000). In many industrial applications, steam provides an efficient and effective medium for conveying heat into several premises and processes. To ensure hot water and energy in the steam are used optimally, there must be an effective condensate recovery. According to Bisram, (2008), condensate, defined as hot and treated water obtained as steam, releases its energy is estimated to contain approximately 25% of the total useful energy initially contained in the original steam. Thus, it is important to return the condensate to the boiler as opposed to disposing it off to drain. For instance, when 100kg/hour of steam is generated and supplied either for heating industrial processes or generation of electrical power, a similar quantity of the condensate should be discharged. Condensate recovery,

Case Study Case 1 Discuss the immunological mechanisms that might contribute to the pathology of ulcerative colitis. Ulcerative colitis is a form of inflammatory bowel disease characterized chronic and relapsing inflammation of the colon, generally starting from the cecum up to the rectum. A distinguishing feature of ulcerative colitis that differentiates it from other inflammatory bowel diseases is that it is only confined to the large intestine and the affected areas are distributed evenly on the top layer of the affected part of the colon. General symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea and bloody stools. Other signs and symptoms may be present depending on the location of the inflammation. For instance, anaemia is also generally observed depending on the onset and duration of the disease and the amount of blood loss during defecation. The exact of cause of inflammatory bowel disease is still unknown but an abnormalities in a person’s immunological response is considered to be

The objective of this assignment is to make connections between what you observe in the field and the evidenced-based practices we have been discussing in class. I recommend you take notes (during or immediately after each visit) of your fieldwork placement visits. You may find doing 2-column notes are helpful (observation + interpretation). You will begin with a brief description of your fieldwork placement to contextualize your analysis (e.g., grade of students, number of students, content area, course/type of course (AP, CP, general), whatever else may be helpful for me to know) Your analysis paper will synthesize the strengths and areas of improvement you noted in your fieldwork placement based on your observations and discussion with your mentor. Your synthesis will be evaluative-meaning, you will draw specific connections between your fieldwork placement observations and the course content/readings we have done this semester! You must cite course readings. (You need to work the c
