Compare the Human Development Index (HDI) to Amartya Sen’s capabilities theory. (The Todaro and Smith textbook gives a detailed account of the old and new versions of the HDI, but you can refer only to the features that are relevant to your argument.) What aspects of Sen’s theory are well represented in the HDI? What aspects are missing from the HDI? For any missing feature, can you suggest a way of empirically measuring that feature?

The human brain is the world's fastest computer. It can process information from a simple reflex, like lifting your hand away from a hot stove, or more complex tasks, like taking the visual and auditory information associated with a movie or play and interpreting it into a coherent story. The basic machinery that does this is the same. Let's discuss the structure of the neuron, and explain how a nerve impulse is transmitted. Be as detailed as you can

27) Describe in detail what the greenhouse effect is and how it works/what causes it

List 2 examples of greenhouse gases.

What is the general consensus among scientists about whether or not global climate change is occurring and if human activities are contributing to this? Give at least 2 examples of reasons or statistics/data that would help why scientists have come to this conclusion. Be sure to answer both questions (2 points)

NOVA BECOMING HUMAN

1) In trying to understand how rapid the climatic changes were for Homohabilis, how do scientists estimate the rates of change?

2) What was the African climate during the time when our ancestors’ brain size was “flat-lining” (from Sahelanthrous to Lucy).

3) When hominid brain size begins to increase (beginning with Homo habilis), what was happening to the African climate?

Exposure to COVID-19 may present a health risk to workers and other persons at a workplace. Employers are advised to follow the latest public health advice and identify and implement suitable control measures to mitigate the risk of COVID- 19 infection in the workplace. Discuss the advice you would provide to your Human Resource Department with regard to the legal regulation of work safety and health protection.

Navigate to the threaded discussion and respond to the following prompts: What empirical evidence supports the theoretical approach of the agency in which you are doing your practicum? What human rights does your agency commit to, and what social justice issues does it address? What client groups might feel positively or negatively toward your agency and why? How does the agency determine whether it is effective?

2. Describe the biological and physiological aspects of the sexual response cycle as described by Masters and Johnson. Note: Many researchers and sexual health educators feel the response cycle is incomplete. As part of your response include your thoughts regarding whether the response cycle accurately represents what happens to the human system during sexual activity. Also comment on the reasons why many researchers and educators feel it is incomplete.

1. Humans are vulnerable to choking because of a phylogenetic constraint: when the structures that would eventually evolve into lungs first evolved, evolution lacked the foresight to head off a future choking risk once lunge became the sole way of breathing. Can you think of another example of how phylogenetic constraint and evolution's lack of foresight have left the human body vulnerable to disease, injury, inefficiencies, or malfunction?

Should human beings be considered a nonnative (invasive species) or a "keystone species?" In your explanation please use at least one example of a nonnative species to and one example of a "keystone" species to help illustrate your point. Show why humans do or don't act as invasive or keystone species. Use specific behaviors and impacts in your answers. Limit your response to no more than 500 words.
