Kolbert, Elizabeth. The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History. New York: Picador, 2014

n the chapters 5 & 6 we read for today, Kolbert further discusses the impact of humans on various species, and how it differs from non-human impact. We’re now in a human-focused time, she writes, and geologists and other scientists want to recognize that officially. Why is Paul Crutzen insistent that our current epoch is the Anthropocene and no longer the Holocene? Use at least three examples from the reading in your discussion.

Additionally, we read about the underwater volcanic vents near Ischia and how they release carbon dioxide into the nearby sea, making it more acidic. This is a naturally occurring phenomenon, but Kolbert reminds us of all the carbon dioxide humans release into the atmosphere, which also affects the oceans on a much wider scale. Is there a way for us to slow the acidification of the oceans, or are we too close to the tipping point? Finally, we may be living in the Anthropocene, but do you think humans have a place in the natural balance? Or is the balanceI completely thrown off? Again, are we overstepping our bounds with our impact on the planet?

Based on the results of below given research study, please explain following points;

‘Variations in health: What can the Department of Health and the NHS do?

1. Discuss the kinds of explanation for these observed variations in life expectancy

– Life expectancy at birth is currently around seven years higher in the registrar General’s social class I than in social class V.

– Children in social class V are four times more likely to suffer accidental death than their peers in social class I;

– Of the sixty-six major causes of death in men, sixty-two were more common among those in social classes IV and V combined than in other social classes;

– Of the seventy major causes of death in women, sixty-four were more common in women married to men in social classes IV and V;

-Women in social class I have a registered incidence of breast cancer 1.5 times higher than women in social class V.

1. Could it be argued that the lower social classes are responsible for their higher mortality rates? What alternative explanations can you give?

***For the attached scenario, write a 100-200 word discussion post with some sort of descriptive thread title, that fully describes:***

• What you feel could have been the root cause of each of the variances

( i.e., price and quantity)

• Based on your answer above, what would you, as a manager or owner, do about it?

(Be very specific, not just “do better”!)

***Also respond to two other classmates’ posts! Will provide the postings in comments.***

Points will be earned if (and only if):

• You post a substantive original post meeting the word requirements, appropriate specifics, plausibility.
• You appear to understand and be able to clearly communicate the concepts of what each type of variance could indicate.
• You appear to have tried to come up with an original underlying reason for the variances (i.e., not just used the exact same reason already posted in someone else’s thread, and also not just something like “the variance is $200 because it is the difference between $1,600 and $1,800”).

Points will be deducted accordingly based on any deficiencies (variances?) of the above

Review the attached article, a model-based analysis that was recently published in The Lancet (it has good info and is an excellent example of well-presented research-based findings) . Next, think about different ways in which a research project about this virus can be narrowed with a specific focus. Consider ways to narrow this topic based on geography, population, etc. —— a. Craft a research question indicative of a narrowed focus on one aspect of the virus. b. Discuss the value of your focused perspective. c. Discuss a possible analytics approach to the problem. Note: Consider this discussion as a brain-storming activity among data scientists (you and your peers.) The purpose is to practice crafting research questions, discussion perspectives, and learning from the ideas of others. As always, if you state something that is not common knowledge and/or is not your idea, cite and reference as appropriate. Need two Peer replies or two 150 -200 words paragraph in addition to the initial post.
