Please use the reference that has been uploaded in the files. I attached a word document that includes all of this week’s textbook information. You will need to reference some of this information in the below order:
Can someone convince you to buy a new product within 30–60 seconds? Well, that seems to be the goal of average television commercials. You tend to spend a major part of your television viewing time in watching info-commercials that sometimes go on for more than half an hour. There are times when persuasion is unwanted or is detrimental to an individual such as purchasing sea monkeys that turn out to be just brine shrimp or buying a book that portends a cure for every ailment.
What is the purpose behind commercials that use television as a medium? Provide a rationale for your answer. Based on your course readings and understanding of persuasion, what is the theoretical basis of these commercials? Support your answer with relevant examples.
In your opinion, can individuals avoid or overcome unwanted persuasions? How? If you were asked to design a training seminar to teach individuals how to avoid unwanted persuasion, what details would you take into consideration and why?
Justify your answers with appropriate reasoning and research from your text and course readings.

“Exploring the Impact of Social Media on Mental Health: A Critical Analysis”
Below I have attached instructions. I have also attached two reference materials I would like to use.
-
Title: Evaluating the Use of Activity-Based Costing and its Impact: A Case Study of a Company Utilizing ABC Method for Costing Inventory
The purpose of this journal is to evaluate the use of activity-based costing (ABC) and its impact.
Using your favorite search engine, choose a company which uses the ABC method for costing
inventory. For instance, Toyota and Coca-Cola.
Assume you are the owner of the company that produces the product. You have been offered the option to outsource the product’s component parts instead of making them. What cost factors would need to be considered? Does it make more financial sense to outsource these parts? Explain with examples/assumptions.
Assume the product was being made on an old piece of machinery that is slowing down production and causing delayed completion times. You have been given the option to either buy a new replacement piece of machinery or have this current machine reworked/repaired. Which option would you choose? What factors would be considered? State all assumptions and be sure to describe how incremental analysis would be used to make this decision.
Provide background on the firm and how it utilizes the ABC method within its operations.
What are possible alternatives to this costing method? Provide 2–3 examples.
How does the ABC method provide a more accurate and realistic way of valuing indirect costs? What types of resources are needed to use this method? Hint: Think about time studies, activity drivers, activity pools, and activity bases. Does the engineering team or marketing need to be involved? Explain.
Finally, explain the major strengths and weaknesses of the ABC method. Are the benefits worth the costs? Explain.
Your response should be at least 2 pages in length. Adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references for this assignment. Include at least two sources. -
“Exploring the Efficacy of Sepsis Protocols in ICU: A Comprehensive Literature Review”
please reply to post: Sepsis
My clinical issue of interest is Sepsis in Intensive Care Units (ICU). My PICOT question will encompass the methodology and efficacy of current Sepsis protocols in the ICU. Sepsis can arise from many causes, such as central line infection, urinary tract infection, or pneumonia. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states, “Infections that lead to sepsis most often start in the lung, urinary tract, skin, or gastrointestinal tract” (The Center for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2023). When bacteria from these infections become systemic and enter the bloodstream, it can create a systemic inflammatory response (SIRS) that can cause organ damage if left untreated.
Search Results
Many studies resulted when I searched for “sepsis” in the various search engines. However, a large portion of these studies were either observational studies or systematic reviews. The results began to be more targeted when I started to hone in on more specific sepsis-related topics, i.e., trending lactate levels or fluid resuscitation for sepsis—looking for more specific results generated more original studies that explore sepsis.
Strategies for a More Effective Search
Strategies I will use to find more original research will be to explore concise topics. CINAHL and MEDLINE both offer multiple search engine bars. I will use this when exploring my PICOT question because I can search for sepsis, but the article must also include lactate levels and fluid resuscitation. CINAHL by EBSCOhost also provides specifiers to limit results on the home page- one can choose peer-reviewed articles, full text, and adult (EBSCOhost, n.d.). MEDLINE is affiliated with the National Library of Medicine and contains many articles focusing on biomedicine (EBSCOhost, n.d.). Within the MEDLINE search engine, there is an option to choose databases. As I research, I plan to switch between databases to find the most pertinent information for my PICOT question. -
Title: The Role of Factors of Production in Firm Activities and Outcomes
Firms use factors of production to produce goods and services. This activity of production goes beyond manufacturing (i.e., making things). It includes any process or service that creates value, including transportation, distribution, wholesale and retail sales. Production involves a number of important decisions that define a firm’s outcomes.
Conduct additional research and respond to the following discussion prompts. In your answer be sure to draw on all relevant readings and videos in this week’s materials. Also, be sure to provide examples to support your answers.
Identify and define the factors of production. Provide examples of each to support your response.
Select one firm and identify what factors of production they use to produce the good or service they produce. Provide details to support your response.
Has there ever been a time when this firm was unable to produce those goods or services? What were the circumstances of that situation? -

Expectations for Use of Sources in College Research Writing In college research writing, there are certain expectations for the use of sources that are crucial for maintaining integrity and credibility in academic work. These expectations include accurately citing sources, using a variety of reputable sources
The article “Young Writer With a Following Admits Fabricating Dylan Quotes in Book” describes the situation of Jonah Lehrer, a writer who violated expectations regarding the integrity of his work. Expectations for writers can vary from one context to another. In WRTG 112, we have been studying how to use sources in a research paper. In this discussion, we will explore how the expectations for college research writing are similar and/or different from expectations in other writing contexts. Respond to the following in 1-2 paragraphs. Summarize the expectations for use of sources in a college research paper, as you understand them. In what ways are these expectations similar to or different from expectations you have observed in other contexts, such as workplace, personal, or journalistic writing? You might use observations from your reading about Jonah Lehrer in addition to personal experience in your response. For maximum points, respond to at least two of your classmates. Are there areas in which your understanding differs from theirs? What can you add to their observations? PLUS BONUS 30 FOR PEER RESPONSES DONE

Title: Understanding Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding: Causes, Risks, and Management
Dysfunctional/Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (DUB/AUB)
Scenario:
A 29-year-old patient presents in the clinic with bleeding in between menses. The onset of
menarche was age 14 and she has had regular monthly menses. For the past 2 months, she has
been spotting between menses. She is not on any hormonal birth control, and she uses condoms
occasionally to prevent pregnancy and STIs. She is currently with a new partner of 6 months, and
she hasn’t been tested for STIs with this partner. She is in the clinic because she is concerned
about why she has been spotting in between menses. She is considering possibly regulating her
menses. Upon history taking and physical exam, you do not notice anything abnormal. You
suspect this is a case of dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Based on your working diagnosis, patient’s HPI, and your physical assessment, create a 3- to 5-
minute video and a 2- to 4-page write-up discussing the following information:
• Definition of DUB/AUB: What is this condition? Why is this important to address?
• Prevalence and risk factors
• DUB/AUB can be a risk of developing what types of health complications?
• Presentation
• Pathophysiology
• Physical assessment and testing to confirm diagnosis
• Provide at least one differential diagnosis and an exam and/or lab test to rule out this
diagnosis.
• If a patient is hesitant about taking medication or intervening now, how long can she
continue to “watchfully observe” her situation before an intervention must occur?
• Treatment or management of dysfunctional uterine bleeding for a patient who is currently
not planning a pregnancy
• Treatment or management of dysfunctional uterine bleeding for a patient who is currently
planning a pregnancy
Your video can be informative while your write-up will be more detailed. Be creative with the
video. There are many ways to complete this portion of the assignment.
Below are some examples of potential ideas to help you brainstorm:
• Create an explainer video with animations and voiceover using Biteable, Canva,
Powtoon, Animaker, or any other software platform.
• Create a voiceover PowerPoint presentation or use Panopto to record your screen while
you present your slides and your narration.
Your write-up and your video must include at least two scholarly sources that are not from your
textbook nor any standard government or medical websites.
• Scholarly sources must be peer-reviewed articles.
• Do not write this paper in a SOAP format.
• You don’t need to rewrite the prompt in your paper.
• Be sure you use APA Style and include headings and subheadings and an introduction
and conclusion.
• Reference and use in-text citations properly according to APA Style.
• Be sure to include a title page and a reference list for the write-up and the video
