Review these stаtements frоm the cоurse syllаbus аbоut academic integrity: Work submitted online must be your own work, not work copied or obtained from someone else or from any AI, online tutoring, or “homework help” sites. Your professor is very familiar with artificial intelligence websites such as Chat GPT, as well as with online sites where students can pay to view answers to assignment and test questions that are posted there. Accessing those sites to generate answers for you, and/or providing copies of course materials to those sites for others to view, is a violation of the academic integrity policy. Students are expected to keep all online test information completely confidential, neither printing, copying, saving, discussing, nor sharing information about the questions or their answers, before, during, or after taking the test. The use of other websites, applications, additional monitors, or other electronic devices during tests is not permitted. Additional Honorlock rules for testing will be visible when you begin each test. For tests, if Honorlock provides evidence that you have violated any of these rules, the first time this occurs you will have one of two options: Come to Cincinnati State for an in-person administration of a make-up test in the campus Proctoring Center during their open hours; or Accept half-credit for all work on the original test If Honorlock provides evidence of a violation of rules on a second test, you will receive a score of zero on that test, and your professor will file a report of the incident with the Provost for documentation purposes. If Honorlock provides evidence of a violation of rules on a third test, you will automatically fail the course and will be referred for College-level discipline, which could result in possible suspension from the College. Only the Provost can impose suspension or dismissal from the College. Your professor has pursued and will continue to pursue disciplinary action against students who engage in dishonest behaviors. Do not risk it! Instead, ask your professor for help if you are struggling. Also read these statements from the FAQ section of the course: If you work with another student on labs, each of you must perform your own experiment using your own lab kit materials, and each of you must submit your own results and photos. If you work with another student on assignments, each of you must submit your own answers. The College's Academic Integrity Policy states: Violations of academic integrity constitute serious breaches of ethical behavior. Academic integrity requires that all academic work be wholly the product of an identified individual. It also lists these examples as violations of academic integrity: Use of any unauthorized assistance in taking quizzes, tests, or examinations, or completing assignments.Copying computer files, text, or images of other students.Knowingly or negligently allowing one's own work to be used by other students or otherwise aiding in academic dishonesty. Notice that if you give your work to others to copy, you are as much in violation of the Academic Integrity Policy as the student who took your work. Violations of this policy may result in failure of the course, and possible suspension or dismissal from the College. According to those policies, which of the following actions could result in the involved student(s) receiving zeros in the grade book and possible failure of the course? Select all that apply:
Step 3: Evаluаte hоw stаtins help tо reduce the cоncentration of LDL cholesterol in a person's blood and recommend an appropriate dose of a statin Given that certain failures of homeostasis can increase the concentration of LDL cholesterol in a person's blood, medical researchers have designed drugs to reduce this concentration. A statin is the most commonly prescribed drug to treat high LDL cholesterol. Drug delivery, measured in dosage (d), is crucial in administering these pharmaceutical compounds effectively. Dosage is often measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) for blood concentration or milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) of body weight, ensuring accurate and safe administration tailored to individual patients. For the following, you may see mg/d or g/d, which can indicate milligrams per dose or grams per dose. Figure 3 (below) shows the path model of the homeostatic system that regulates the concentration of LDL cholesterol, with the addition of a box representing the drug dosage (statin) that increases the rate at which the liver cells import cholesterol. For simplicity, this figure highlights only those components needed to calculate the correct dosage of the drug. These components include the relationships among the (1) dosage of the drug, (2) the rate at which liver cells import cholesterol, (3) the rate at which enzymes in the liver convert cholesterol to bile salts, and (4) the concentration of LDL cholesterol in the blood. The values for these relationships have been provided. Figure 3, long description Figure 3. The figure illustrates the pathway regulating LDL cholesterol levels in humans with the influence of statins. Key components, such as the rate of cholesterol ingestion, receptor activity, and conversion to bile salts, are highlighted. The model shows how statins impact cholesterol import into liver cells, lowering blood LDL levels. Positive and negative relationships between variables are indicated by plus and minus symbols, with numeric values representing the slopes of these relationships. Before we determine the appropriate dose of statin to administer to decrease the concentration of LDL cholesterol levels by a specified amount, let’s make sure we understand how statins reduce the concentration of LDL cholesterol in the blood.
