Purpose of the Introduction: ·       To familiarize the reader with the topic, p

Purpose of the Introduction: ·       To familiarize the reader with the topic, present the current state of the field, and convince them of the need for further study on this issue (i.e. to convince the scientific community that you have identified a scientific problem and will add a new aspect to the scientific discussion/field). o   A good introduction is like a good sales pitch! Components of the Introduction: Note: Each numbered component below should be one paragraph in your introduction.   1.     Identify the Research Problem: In the first paragraph of this assignment, start with a brief description of the problem/topic: what/why is it a problem, who does it impact, what are the overall implications. Include key statistics to emphasize the importance/magnitude of the topic/problem. Briefly mention what still needs to be addressed (through additional research).   2.     Definition/Explanation of Terms: Explain the scientific explanation/definitions of the problem. For example, if your topic is a disease, describe what causes it, how/why it develops, symptoms, disease progress, and anything beyond the definition that is necessary. This is a scientific proposal and should provide the reader with enough detail to understand the topic of the proposal.     3.     Population: Describe the population affected by the topic (gender, ethnicity, age, occupational exposure, etc.). Describe the topic within the population (what implications does the topic have).   4.     Current Standards and Potential Changes: Describe how is this problem/topic currently dealt with/treated/managed and introduce/explain the second variable that should be correlated OR implemented (depending on the type of study you are conducting).   5.     Recent Review Study: Provide a general overview of the current state of the literature on your topic using at least 1 review, systematic review, or meta-analysis relevant to your topic. Briefly state what they studied and what they found (purpose, how many studies included, main results). This provides the reader with a snapshot of the current knowledge of the topic.     6.     Conclusion:  Provide a recap of the topic/problem, what is currently known, and indicate that there is a need for further study (what is the gap in the literature?). This may be due to either a lack of or contradictory information. End with how information obtained could be applied. The conclusion of your introduction should clearly indicate the need for study on this topic.   **NOTE: The introduction should answer the following:   What is the general idea/problem under investigation? Why is this topic/research important? What is currently known and what remains unclear (why does it NEED to be studied/what is missing from the literature)?   Some HINTS (these apply to all assignments): ·       Basic studies (general/fundamental) on the topic, regardless of its publication date could be useful to gain knowledge/understanding of your topic. • Reputable websites that end with .org, .edu, or .gov are acceptable for general information (secondary sources). ◦ Do NOT use/cite websites such as Wikipedia, WebMD. ·       NEVER leave the reader in doubt as to the source of your information (i.e., Cite thoroughly & properly). Follow the APA style for citations & reference list ◦ Refer to studies by author and year in APA format (e.g., “A study by Smith et al. (2012) reported that …”) ◦ Note that every piece of information you are conveying from another source must be cited and referenced ·       Avoid quoting directly. Read the article, set it aside, and then write down the important points in your own words (i.e., paraphrase) and use citations whenever necessary. ·       Technical scientific writing is terse, clear cut, and lacking in artistic enhancements. ·       ACTIVE VOICE is usually encouraged.  Avoid using the following personal pronouns:  I and YOU • Avoid referring to “your study” throughout. You are providing background information on the topic, identifying the gap in the literature, and alluding to what your study will address, not directly stating it.

Compare and contrast two articles: one is an actual peer-reviewed study and the

Compare and contrast two articles: one is an actual peer-reviewed study and the other is AI-generated created by ChatGPT. In your essay, please include the following:
1. An Introduction: This will include a brief summary of each article.
2. A Thesis Statement: The thesis will be the last sentence of your introduction, and it should clearly explain how the two articles are different in a general way. You will be more specific about the differences in the rest of the paper. (Think of a thesis statement as a one-sentence explanation of the argument you will prove in the paper about the differences between the actual peer-reviewed article and the AI-generated one).

To prove your thesis, discuss some of the following in the body of your essay:
Are there differences between the two in terms of information, specificity, research, and content? Make sure you explain.
What, within the content of the peer-reviewed article, is missing from the AI version?
What is different in the AI-generated article from scientific articles in general?
Is the writing style different between the two?
Do they both contain rhetorical techniques (logos, pathos, ethos)?
Would you consider the ChatGPT article peer-reviewed?
Could the ChatGPT version be helpful for future research and writing?
Then, add your concluding thoughts in a conclusion.

You only need to use the peer-reviewed journal article and the AI generated one for this assignment; in other words, you do not need to find other outside sources for this assignment.

can you please number them 1 and 2.
1. The growth rate equation is (birth rate + immigration)-(death rate + emigration). Provide at least two factors that affect the population size based off the equation above, and explain how these factors impact the size of the population.
2. Identify any unusual environmental problems (for example: heavy metals due to mining, water pollution due to farming or industry) in your neighborhood and research possible health effects of potential environmental hazards in the area. Who is at risk, what is the environmental hazard, where does this hazard come from and what health problems caused by the pollutant? Before you get started, review the terminology.
Terms:
Environmental Hazard: Something (chemical, physical or microbiological) with the potential to cause harm; however, it does not always put you at risk.
Risk: The combination of the probability or frequency, of occurrence of the identified hazard and the magnitude of the consequences of the occurrence.
Risk assessment: Risk assessment is the process of estimating the potential impact of a chemical, physical, or microbiological hazard on a specified human population or ecological system under a specific set of conditions and for a certain time frame.
