  • Specific Measurement of a Single Species and Results

    In Weeks 2 and 3 you concentrated on collecting data on species composition at both your human presence and non-presence sites. This week, you will choose one species and one trait to measure; this may include measurements such as individual length or weight, number of offspring or nests, number of behaviors such as feeding or calling, or any other relevant parameters specific to the species under investigation.

    Review the sampling techniques you used in Week 2 and use the same technique (e.g. point count, square plot, or transect). Every individual of your chosen species should be measured for the selected trait in both the human presence and non-presence sites.

    You will collect and analyze data using t-tests to determine significant differences between study sites in the chosen measurement. You will produce tables and graphs to present the results clearly. Through interpretation and discussion, you will assess the ecological significance and provide recommendations for conservation strategies to mitigate the impact of human presence on species diversity. Find 3-5 relevant, credible sources and support your statements using in-text citations and provide a reference list at the end.

    The deliverable should include the following components:

    Quantitative Data Collection: Collect and record quantitative data measurements for the species present at the study sites by collecting data using the study method developed in Week 2. Insert the data as a table in your report.

    Data Analysis General Statistics: Follow along with this video for guidance to compute the following for each study plot separately:

    Sample size (N)

    Sample mean (x) this is a measure of the center of your data values

    Sample variance (s2) this and the rest are measures of the variability of your data values

    Standard deviation (s)

    Standard error (SE)

    95% confidence interval lower (LCI) and upper (UCI) limits

    Data Analysis t-test: Download the example excel sheet and input your data, adjusting column names as needed. Use this video for guidance on how to run a t-test to the data from both study plots to determine if there are significant differences between the study sites in the chosen measurement. Include the example excel sheet in your submission.

    Data Visualization: Utilize tables, graphs, or charts to visually represent the results. Ensure that the visual representations are clear, labeled, and appropriate for the data being presented. You must create at least one chart/graph and one table (for a total of two (or more) visuals).

    Restate Hypotheses: Restate your hypotheses developed in previous weeks and state whether your data supports or rejects your hypothesis. If you received instructor feedback, provide the edited versions.

    Interpretation: Interpret the results and discuss their implications. Analyze any patterns or trends observed in the data and explain their ecological significance. Relate the findings to the research questions and hypotheses formulated earlier in the project.

    Discussion of Findings: Discuss the implications of the results within the broader ecological context. Relate the findings to the research questions and hypotheses posed earlier in the project. Evaluate the strengths and limitations of the data analysis and interpretation, considering factors such as sample size, data quality, and potential biases.

    Recommendations: Provide recommendations based on the research outcomes. Suggest specific conservation strategies, management practices, or policy considerations that can help mitigate the impact of human presence on biodiversity and contribute to the preservation of sensitive species and habitats.

    Photos: Take photos during your data collection activities and include them in the final deliverable.

  • Anthropology Question

    The instructor will provide discussion questions for the readings, films, and lectures 4 times during the quarter. Students are required to write response papers to these questions and turn them in by the assigned date. The response papers should seek to answer the discussion questions by providing a concise overview and critical appraisal of the relevant readings, films, and lectures. Each comment should be at least 600 words in length (maximum 1,000 words). The response papers should not be asummary of the readings or lecture materials but a thoughtful engagement with issues raised in the lecture and the readings through critical analyses and integration.

You should pick ONE of these questions to address in your response paper. Please note that if attendance in lecture is high and students are writing their response papers WITHOUT relying on AI technologies, then your lowest score on the response papers will be dropped. If instructor has the sense that students are using AI technologies to write these response papers, then the instructor will switch them from take-home to in-class essays. In this eventuality, the instructor will announce the dates and times of the in-class essays.

    Response Question:

    Imagine that our society is shifting from largely disciplinary power to more sovereign forms of power. Please describe what this shift would look like by discussing AT MINIMUM THREE of the following domains: 1) bureaucracies, 2) norms, standards, and ideals, 3) visibility of the sovereign or state, 4) visibility of the average civilian, 5) forms of punishment instituted by the state, 6) peoples sense of personal choice, 7) surveillance, 8) ones soul (as Foucault referenced it), 9) the ambivalence of state violence and suffering bodies, and 10) rituals of truth.

  • Structural Violence – Individual Work

    Assignment:

    PART 1STRUCTURAL VIOLENCE (Individual Work)
    –     Make sure that you have read ALL required readings for this week, as you will need them in Parts 1, 2, and 3 of this assignment.
    –     Read the definition of Structural Violence below:
    Structural violence, a term coined by Johan Galtung and by liberation theologians during the
    1960s, describes social structureseconomic, political, legal, religious, and culturalthat stop
    individuals, groups, and societies from reaching their full potential [    57]. In its general usage, the
    word violence often conveys a physical image; however, according to Galtung, it is the avoidable
    impairment of fundamental human needs orthe impairment of human life, which lowers the
    actual degree to which someone is able to meet their needs below that which would otherwise be
    possible [    58]. Structural violence is often embedded in longstanding ubiquitous social structures,
    normalized by stable institutions and regular experience [    59]. Because they seem so ordinary in
    our ways of understanding the world, they appear almost invisible. Disparate access to resources,
    political power, education, health care, and legal standing are just a few examples. The idea
    of structural violence is linked very closely to social injustice and the social machinery of
    oppression [    16]
