Conspiracy Theories and Fake News
The rise in conspiracy theories and fake news through internet technologies has been a matter of growing concern. Efforts to identify and debunk sources of such misinformation through web channels such as FactCheck.org etc have had limited success. In the United States, the recent case where members of the group called QAnon sought to infiltrate feeds of organizations against child trafficking has furthermore brought attention to the ways in which issues of genuine importance like safety of children can be manipulated by different groups for their own interests. This week’s prompt invites you to focus on the prevalence of conspiracy theories and their potential to harm issues related to human rights and democracy. You are encouraged to identify such instances in different parts of the world and analyze them. You can draw from your own experiences and share your personal strategies in guarding against such news. Here is the link to the news referenced in the prompt: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/12/technology/qanon-save-the-children-trafficking.html
Food Security
The members of the United Nations found great value in the analysis you provided on the effects of global warming that results from population growth. They are now asking you to write an additional analysis to include further issues related to population growth. Here is the issue they have asked you to consider: The member states of the United Nations seek to build food systems that can provide global food security which will feed everyone, everywhere, every day by improving food quality through the promotion of effective and nutritional agricultural practices. The crucial issue is not the lack of food in the world but the access to that food. In many developing countries, food shortages are due to governmental control over food distribution. These governments maintain control of the population and their power by limiting access to nutritious food to certain groups. In this practice, they thereby “weaponize” food. Your second project as a consultant for the United Nations is to develop an analysis that addresses three issues related to global food insecurity caused by global population growth and poverty and to explore these issues in a developing country of your choosing. The UN has given you the following guidelines. Content The UN has asked that your paper contain three sections. Each section should be one page (or approximately 300 words) in length and answer specific questions, identified in the outline below. It also asks that you use examples from your developing country when answering the questions. Introduction Provide an introduction of half a page minimum that addresses points a-e below. Explains the problem the UN has asked you to address in your own words; Identifies the three sections your paper will cover; Identifies the developing country you will consider; Tells the UN the causes of food insecurity, and Provides a one-sentence statement of your solutions at the end of your introduction paragraph. Section I. Background What is food insecurity? What role does population growth play in food security? Section II. Technologies That Can Reduce Hunger and Improve Food Security What forms of technology can be used to reduce hunger and improve food security? How would these technological solutions work? What causes of food insecurity do these technologies address? Section III. Specific Factors in Chosen Developing Country Considering the causes of food insecurity, what factors interrupt the flow of food from the source to the people in the developing country you selected? Conclusion Provide a conclusion of half a page minimum that includes a summary of your findings that the United Nations can use to inform future policy decisions. Success Tips In answering each question, use examples from your developing country to illustrate your points. The UN needs facts and objective analysis on which to base future policy decisions; avoid personal opinion and make sure your answers are based on the information you find through research. Formatting Requirements Make sure your paper consists of four to six pages of content (or 1,200 words minimum, not including the cover or reference pages). Create headings for each section of your paper as follows: Section I. Background Section II. Technologies That Can Reduce Hunger and Improve Food Security Section III. Specific Factors in Chosen Developing Country Use and cite at least five credible sources in your research. A list of potential resources is available below. Make sure your paper contains both in-text citations and a source list, per SWS guidelines: Refer to the Strayer Writing Standards (SWS) document for reference. Include a cover page with your name, the country you selected, the date you submitted the paper, and your instructors name. Potential Sources Peter Timmer. May/June 2015.

Intervention Guidelines
Some general ideas to consider: ? Have you built the infrastructure you need to support the effective implementation of your plan? ? Develop interventions ? Advocate for change ? Policy development ? Multi-tiered approach to deal with systemic issues there is no magic bullet Identify and assess “best practices” or “evidence-based interventions” that could help address the problem or goal. Indicate a. Potential or promising best practices for your situation (consider various available databases and lists of best or evidence-based practices) b. How strong is the evidence that each potential best practice caused the observed improvement? (Rather than other associated conditions or potential influences) c. Whether the best practice could achieve the desired results in your community d. Whether the conditions (e.g., time, money, people, technical assistance) that affect success for the best practice are present e. (Based on the assessment) The best practice or evidence-based approach to be tried in your situation (Note: If no best practices are known or appropriate to your situation, follow the steps below to design or adapt another intervention.) (Based on the assessment and literature) Specify the core components and elements of the intervention. Be specific about elements to be included for each of these five intervention components: a. Providing information and enhancing skills (e.g., conduct a public information campaign to educate people about the problem or goal and how to address it) b. Modifying access, barriers, exposures, and opportunities (e.g., increase the availability of affordable childcare for those entering workforce; reduce exposures to stressors) c. Enhancing services and supports (e.g., increase the number of centers that provide health care) d. Changing the consequences (e.g., provide incentives to develop housing in low-income areas) e. Modifying policies and broader systems (e.g., change a business or public policies to address the goal) Identify the mode of delivery through which each component and element of the intervention will be delivered in the community (e.g., workshops for skill training). Indicate how you will adapt the intervention or “best practice” to fit the needs and context of your community (e.g., differences in resources, cultural values, competence, language). ? Develop an action plan for the intervention. Include a. What specific change or aspect of the intervention will occur? b. Who will carry it out? c. When the intervention will be implemented or how long it will be maintained? d. Resources (money and staff) needed/ available? e. Who should know what about this?

Imagine you are an Academic Clinical Nurse Educator preparing for your student nurses clinical rotations. This is an exciting time for your students, as they now have the opportunity to apply what they have learned in the classroom with actual patients! Its a busy time for you, though, because their success is dependent on your ability to plan clinical experiences for each of your student nurses that enable them to develop the skills they need to be successful practicing nurses in the future. This means considering the individual learning needs of each of your student nurses and matching them to an appropriate patient on the unit. Photo Credit: Getty Images For your Module 6 Assignment, you will first evaluate assignments and activities for student nurses in clinical settings to ensure alignment to clinical experience objectives. You will also examine how core competencies of Clinical Nurse Educators are addressed in planning clinical experiences for student nurses. Finally, you will explore how Clinical Nurse Educators facilitate communication and bridge ethical and legal requirements between the academic institution and the clinical setting. To prepare: Review the National League for Nursing (NLN) site and consider the clinical educator competencies and how they apply to the clinical setting.
