Review the Strategic National Risk Assessment.
Compare and contrast the deductions about the national-level threats and hazards as listed
by the DHS in the SNRA against the findings you made in Week 5’s analysis of the WTAs.
As always, assume what is liste d first is the greatest risk [also calle d “most dangerous”] and probability [also called “most likely”] and the last is least.
Given the “Natural” events that have occurred across America since 2006 [i.e. post-Katrina], are the ranking of riskiest/most dangerous events in the “Natural” threats and hazards in the table on p2 logical? Also, Why or why not?

Review of the Department of Homeland Security’s Approach to Risk Analysis explores
how DHS is building its capabilities in risk analysis to inform decision making.
The department uses risk analysis to inform decisions ranging from high-level policy
choices to fine-scale protocols that guide the minute-by-minute actions of DHS employees.
Although DHS is responsible for mitigating a range of threats, natural disasters,
and pandemics, its risk analysis efforts are weighte d heavily toward terrorism.
In addition to assessing the capability of DHS risk analysis methods to support decision-
making, the book evaluates the quality of the current approach to estimating risk ,
and discusses how to improve current risk analysis procedures.
Additionally, review of the Department of Homeland Security’s Approach to Risk Analysis recommends that DHS continue to build its integrated risk management framework.
In conclusion, it also suggests that the department improve the way models are developed and used and also, follow time-tested scientific practices, among other recommendations.

Additionally, Anorexia nervosa and bulimia are both eating disorders in which a person tries to lose weight in unhealthful ways.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, about 0.6% of adults in the United States experienced anorexia between 2001 and 2003, compared to 0.3% who experienced bulimia.
There are essential differences between anorexia and bulimia, and it is possible for a person to have both at the same time.
In this article, learn more about the symptoms of the two conditions, their differences, and when to see a doctor.
People with anorexia and bulimia may fixate on weight and appearance, and they may have a distorted body image. Both conditions result in a person trying to lose weight using unhealthy strategies.
In addition, there are key differences between anorexia and bulimia. People with anorexia tend to adopt extreme diets. They may restrict their food intake to a degree that can lead to malnourishment and even death.
Also, some people with anorexia exercise to excess. If a person is already malnourished, this amount of exercise may cause them to faint or experience other potentially severe adverse effects. Also, a person with anorexia may vomit or take laxatives to lose weight.

How could a quality committee align outcomes with King’s Conceptual System Theory?
What additional nursing theory from our readings could also align with an improved quality of practice initiative?
More Details;
In addition, in 1971, King proposed a conceptual system for nursing around four concepts she considered universal to the discipline of nursing: social systems, health, perception, and interpersonal relationships.
These areas were identifie d from the synthesis and reformulation of concepts using inductive and deductive reasoning, critical thinking, and extensive review of nursing and literature from other health-relate d disciplines.
Concepts were organized around individuals as personal systems, small groups as interpersonal systems, and larger social systems such as community and school (King, 1971).
In conclusion, role, status, social organization, communication, information, and energy were identified as basic concepts of functions of systems.
Also, king propose d that concepts were interrelate d and could be in use across systems to identify the essence of nursing.

Explain the benefits and limitations of international portfolio diversification
Critically evaluate Kim Deal’s claim with reference to appropriate theories and empirical evidence. Explain the benefits and limitations of international portfolio diversification and include real life examples supporting both claims.
Explain the benefits and limitations of international portfolio diversification
Kim Deal, a famous U.S. hedge fund manager, claims that given the U.S. stock market’s spectacular performance,
there would be little reason to have emerging markets exposure in his portfolio and dismisses the idea of international portfolio diversification.
Indeed, many financial economists have proposed that Kim Deal’s claim can be reconciled with behavioral or rational stories (i.e., risk premia).
Nevertheless, critically evaluate Kim Deal’s claim with reference to appropriate theories and empirical evidence. Please use empirical evidences from scholarly articles regarding the topic.
Explain the benefits and limitations of international portfolio diversification and include real life examples supporting both claims.
Show slight favorism towards having emerging markets exposure in an investor’s portfolio.
Use harvard style refencing and in text citations. e.g (Writer,2021) DO NOT EXCEED 2000 WORDS.

An international portfolio is a selection of stocks and other assets that focuses on foreign markets rather than domestic ones.
Also, if well designed, an international portfolio gives the investor exposure to emerging and developed markets and provides diversification.
Understanding the International Portfolio
In addition, an international portfolio appeals to investors who want to diversify their assets by moving away from a domestic-only portfolio.
This type of portfolio can carry increased risks due to potential economic and political instability in some emerging markets.
In conclusion, there also is the risk that a foreign market’s currency will slip in value against the U.S. dollar.
The worst of these risks can be reduced by offsetting riskier emerging-market stocks with investments in industrialized and mature foreign markets.
Or, the risks can be offset by investing in the stocks of American companies that are showing their best growth in markets abroad.

2. Secondly, what is the diagnosis for this patient?
3. Lastly, what treatment is recommende d?
More Details;
Definition and Efficacy
In addition, cardiac markers are use d in the diagnosis and risk stratification of patients with chest pain and suspecte d acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
The cardiac troponins, in particular, have become the cardiac markers of choice for patients with ACS.
Indeed, cardiac troponin is central to the definition of acute myocardial infarction (MI) in the consensus guidelines from the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the American College of Cardiology (ACC):
Additionally, these guidelines recommend that cardiac biomarkers should be in measure at presentation in patients with suspecte d MI,
and that the only biomarker that is recommende d to be in use for the diagnosis of acute MI at this time is cardiac troponin due to its superior sensitivity and accuracy.
In conclusion, patients with elevated troponin levels but negative creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) values who were formerly diagnosed with unstable angina or minor myocardial injury are now reclassified as non–ST-segment elevation MI (NSTEMI), even in the absence of diagnostic electrocardiogram (ECG) changes

Over the years the field of neuroanatomy has evolved considerably but unraveling the extraordinary structural,
and functional complexity of the brain seems to be an unattainable goal,
partly due to the fact that it is only possible to obtain an imprecise connection matrix of the brain.
The reasons why reaching such a goal appears almost impossible to date is discussed here,
together with suggestions of how we could overcome this anatomical problem by,
establishing new methodologies to study the brain and by promoting interdisciplinary collaboration.
Generating a realistic computational model seems to be the solution rather than attempting to fully reconstruct the whole brain or a particular brain region.
sentence to describe the magnitude of the problem in dealing with the anatomy of the brain,
not only due to the complexity of its organization, but also because our knowledge of the brain is far from complete.
In conclusion, the central nervous system works as a whole (Figure (Figure1),1), and it is well established that the principles of structural design (spatial distribution, number and types of neurons,
and synapses per volume, etc.) differ considerably in the different parts of the nervous system,
as well as between species and strains.
