Bacterial Infections

Post contains three assignments

1: Antimicrobial agents
Order Description

Antimicrobial agents are essential components in the treatment of various bacterial infections as they help to kill or prevent the growth of microbes such as bacteria, fungi, and protozoans. Prior to the discovery of antimicrobial agents, treatment options for patients with bacterial infections were limited. For many patients, treatment often resulted in the amputation of limbs or even death. Today, treatment options for bacterial infections typically have a more positive prognosis. Due to the various types of infections presented in patients, it is essential to be able to identify the underlying cause of the infection—whether bacterial or viral—before recommending drug treatments. This will help you identify whether or not an antimicrobial agent would be appropriate and which specific agent would target the infection. In this Assignment, you consider the appropriate use of antimicrobial agents for infections.
To prepare:
Review this week’s media presentation on principles of antimicrobial therapy, as well as Chapter 8 of the Arcangelo and Peterson text.
Consider the categories of antimicrobial agents.
Think about differences between viral and bacterial infections.
Reflect on why proper identification of the infection is key to selecting the proper antimicrobial agent.
To complete:
Write a 2- to 3- page paper that addresses the following:
Describe the categories of antimicrobial agents.
Describe differences between viral and bacterial infections.
Explain why proper identification of viral and bacterial infections is key to selecting the proper antimicrobial agent.

Regardless of what area you choose your project should include:
-One or two focused questions that you intend to answer in the project;
-A section evaluating theories and research relevant for your project;
-A section containing your main analysis, i.e. where you explore the issue you have chosen and attempt to answer the questions you are asking using your chosen literature;
-A concluding section summarizing your results;
-A bibliography containing both secondary and primary sources.

The assessment criteria for the project are:

My research proposal was not very good, I got a 57/100, but my professor
did like my topic, and the fact that I was using X factor and a tv show (because I am showing the effect on two different types of programs) so if you could emphasise on that being the reason I chose those two for my case study.. Other things on that such as the guiding research questions and the sources can be changed (if you believe you can come up with a stronger base) feel free to, but if its possible to contact me before you make any major changes just so I can make sure its alright.

Bellow are some tips given by our professor:
A. Industry (i.e. primary) sources for original research
Trade journals and statistical yearbooks which are very good and available in parts online and in our library, and in full at the British Film Institute Library (BFI) are:
-Broadcast (https://www.broadcastnow.co.uk)
-C21 (https://www.c21media.net; limited access for non-subscribers)
-Variety (www.variety.com)
-Television Business International (TBI) (access via Lexis Nexis and BFI library)
-Screen International
-TV World (access via Lexis Nexis and BFI library)

Other useful websites & online databases
-Rapid TV News (https://www.rapidtvnews.com/) [Online daily news service for the TV industry. Reports on all aspects relating to broadcast technology, information, analysis, and provides up to date context and comment on the latest developments.]
-David Brennan, TV expert (https://www.medianative.tv)
-Screen Digest, Industry Publisher (www.screendigest.com) [Excellent up-to-date monthly publications and special reports. Most of this is for subscribers only and unaffordable but there are interesting free excerpts on the website.]
www.thinkbox.tv [Advertiser Association; see ‘nickable charts’]
-Guardian Media (https://www.theguardian.com/media) [UK and global industry news]
-Ofcom (www.ofcom.org.uk) [UK regulatory body for television]
-European Audiovisual Observatory (www.obs.coe.int) [Information about legislation concerning the European audiovisual market and statistical information about audiovisual production in Europe; has in-depth country-by-country guides]
-World Trade Organisation (www.wto.org) [see section on media]

Finally, the websites of the channels, programmes or companies that you explore are, of course, important primary sources. Many, such as the BBC, Channel 4 or Sky, have archives of their annual reports, with useful statistics as well as further aspects of branding.?

B. Academic (i.e. secondary) sources
Electronic journals For most recent academic literature (i.e. secondary literature); search for example in Television & New Media, International Journal of Digital Television, Popular Communication, Critical Studies in Television, Continuum: Journal of Media and Cultural Studies, Journal of Audience and reception Studies, International Journal of Cultural Studies.
