Nutrition Visual Tube Models for Healthy Choices in Adolescence
No full textChildhood obesity is a growing concern as it has reached epidemic levels. Epidemiological research shows that 31.9% of children ages 10–17 are obese in the United States where Tennessee has an even higher percent of 36.9%. Startlingly, Coffee County, Tennessee has an obesity prevalence of 41.9% in women and 37% in men. It is the researcher’s goal to conduct a Healthy Choices education intervention for 11th - 12th grade culinary arts students in Coffee County, Tennessee. The sample (n=73) consists of 30 males and 43 females from classes (n=5). Population range is 14–19 years old. Site of intervention is Coffee County Central High in Manchester, Tennessee. The inclusion criteria consist of those registered at Coffee County Central High in Manchester, TN. This four-day intervention will be taught from January 18, 2022, to January 21, 2022. The intervention will be a pre-test/post-test study design. Participants will be exposed to nutrition information, looking at visual training aids, completing a label project, and preparing a healthy snack in hopes that it will help this adolescent population to make better food choices. These positive changes could reduce frequencies of obesity-related non-communicable diseases throughout their lifespan
The Effects of Using an Exercise Apps on Achieving One\u27s Weight Goals
No full textThe effectiveness of exercise apps in terms of the functions and time to achieve weight goals are not well documented. The aim of this study is to determine whether using an app is beneficial to achieving an individual’s weight goals. In a quasi-experimental design, 45 participants from Andrews University and the community were enrolled in the study. Measurements were taken from two groups; the treatment group used the Andreasen Wellness Center app and control group had no app. Weight and height for Body Mass Index (BMI) was taken at baseline-initial visit and after four weeks. The effect of using the app was evaluated using a paired t-test to compare the mean BMI before and after four weeks of exercise. The difference between the groups was assessed using an independent t-test. The treatment group lost weight significantly for those who intended to lose weight. However, the difference in change between groups of app user and no app user did not reach significance. Small sample size and shorter time was the major limitation of this study. Larger sample size with longer follow up period should be considered for future studies

What teacher needs to know about STEM-Nonfiction
Get PDFWhat educators need to know about STEM nonfiction is covered in this presentation. Teaching subject like maths, science, technology, and engineering isn’t always mean going to lab or completing written worksheets. Different non-fiction book types are preferred by different children, and some students are better suited to specific subjects than others. Unlike traditional non-fiction, there isn\u27t just one set of guidelines for selecting books for learners. Therefore, understanding the categories of STEM nonfiction can help educators with exploring science, technology, engineering, and maths
The Creation of Virtual Online Small Groups To Increase Member Participation and Build Community at the Redding Seventh-day Adventist Church
Get PDFProblem
Many churches have struggled to continue to accomplish mission in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic while complying with the mandated restrictions. The Redding Seventh-day Adventist Church already struggled with no small group ministry prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, and the “stay at home” requirements for churches only increased feelings of isolation in the Redding Church members. These feelings of isolation created a hindrance to mission and resulted in a severe lack of biblical community.
Method
The research method employed in the design of this project was a qualitative one. It explored the question under examination by using NCD surveys to assess the eight characteristics of church health. The initiative started by having the church complete a Natural Church Development (NCD) survey to assess the eight characteristics of church health. The initial survey provided baseline NCD scores in all eight categories, and specifically in Holistic Small Groups (HSGs). I provided the Northern California Conference a list of all email addresses on file with the Redding Church office. The total number of addresses in the email list was around 80. The email list was forwarded to NCD, and each email address was sent a digital NCD survey to complete. The survey closed upon completion of the first 30 responses. The church then launched a small group ministry which started with VSGs. After nine months, a second NCD survey was conducted. This second survey measured the impact small groups had on NCD in the areas involving HSGs.
Results
The NCD results showed improvement in almost all areas. The most dramatic increase in the eight categories of health was in the category of HSGs. All but one specific question relating to HSGs improved dramatically, indicating that the addition of HSGs to the Redding Church did make significant improvements in the area of biblical community and to the overall health of the church and its members.
Conclusion
The study has revealed that in the absence of HSGs, church members often suffered a wide range of consequences because of the lack of biblical community. It is evident from this study that it would be beneficial for the church to refocus and realize that small groups are not an end in themselves, but rather, a vehicle to foster healthy biblical community. Therefore, there is a need to encourage the denomination as a whole to increase the emphasis on HSG ministries

The \u27Non\u27 Word
No full textThe prefix \u27non\u27 is useful and often necessary. \u27Non\u27 clarifies, identifies, and helps one make appropriate decisions. However, is it appropriate when referring to people, to \u27them\u27, to others? Or does our \u27Adventist\u27 lingo, limit conversations or create invisible obstacles for sharing Christ\u27s love? What if language of our church culture defines us at the expense of others? Is our historic use of labeling people groups inclusive? Come explore THE \u27non\u27 word and how its elimination may be a first step to inclusion
