The Cost and Impacts of Bio fuels

On Bio-Fuels:

Write a term paper that analyzes the cost and impacts of your energy source on the economy overall.  The economy may be that of the US (probably you will have more data on this) or the world.  The impacts could be environmental, health and safety, political, social, etc.

We need to write a term paper – then a power point.

We are to draw conclusions about the feasibility of using bio fuels as an energy source in the future and outline its impacts in detail.

Case study

Junior is a 13-year-old Indigenous boy in grade 8. He is the oldest of four; he has two younger sisters and a younger brother. His parents are survivors of the residential school system during the 60’s scoop. They have experienced trauma as a result and struggle with mental health and addictions issues. Despite his parents’ greatest efforts to keep him in kinship care, child protective services have apprehended Junior and placed him in a group home where he has been for the past 6 months. His three younger siblings have been placed in a foster care setting. His sisters are together in the same foster home and his brother is alone in another foster home.
Junior and his siblings have been removed from their home multiple times – first when he was two years old, then at six years old, and again when he was nine – due to family violence concerns. Since his first time in care at two years old, Junior and his siblings have been in kinship care, different foster care homes, and group homes. His parents have expressed that they would like their children in the care of their maternal grandmother (and she is willing to accept all four children) but their caseworker at child protective services is hesitant as she is also a residential school survivor.
Since arriving in the group home, he has been suspended three times for various behaviors including smoking in the school bathroom, fighting, and skipping class. Junior likes skateboarding, movies, cultural dancing, and video games. He is an intelligent youth and enjoys learning at school however, his diagnosis of ADHD since the age of 10 interferes with his learning.
Junior has been having difficulties in the group home since he arrived. He is the youngest teen in the home and is often in conflict with the older teens. Junior’s teacher, Mr. Wilson, has contacted you, the child and youth care worker at his group home, and asked for a meeting to discuss Junior’s behavior and make a plan for supporting him.

3. Students will complete this assignment from the perspective of a primary child and youth care worker.

4. For this assignment you will develop an intervention plan for two(2) of the following settings. Students will base their intervention plan based on the theories and assessment models presented in class. (clearly labelled)

  • a. the group home setting
  • b. at school
  • c. with parents/elders/kinship care providers/grandmother
  • d. community setting

5. Each intervention plan should outline the following:

  • a. Strengths and Resilience Factors: What are the strengths that are per-existing for this family/support network/youth? OR what do things look like when they are going well? Who is involved in applying this strategy and why? (Approximately 100 – 200 words – can be bullet points)
  • b. Potential Challenges/Concerns: What are we worried about /Challenges (presently, as well as in the future if changes are not made) (Approximately 200 – 300 words)
  • c. Next steps: What specific actions can we take to create safety/make lasting changes for this youth/family? Indicate the specific role each player is going to take (ex. Group home commits to checking in with Junior twice a night to ensure he is okay). This would be the bulk of the work. (Why the strategy is useful in this case.) (Approximately 500 words)
  • d. Community Resources: You must include at least 3 community resources or programs that could support this family within the ‘next steps’ portion of your intervention plan.

Project 1

In this project, you will write a short essay that reflects your belief or passion about a particular part of your professional experience. This project requires you to organize complex and divergent thoughts to write a single page paragraph by paragraph. Your essay is intentionally limited to 500 words to engage you in the structural process of writing. You will refresh basic writing skills and rediscover the building blocks that you will use for longer projects. Consider this a first step in your journey.

Leadership Paper (Volkswagen Emissions Scandal)

Introduction (10%) Briefly introduce the case of leadership failure. Why is studying this case important? Explain the paper’s purpose and outline what follows in the remainder.

Leadership Theory (35%) In this section you lay the foundation of the leadership theory that will be used later for your analysis Pick one of the leadership styles* and explain how it works and what we know about it. Specifically, focus on elements relevant for the case analysis. If you want to make the argument later that there was too much of leadership style A and not enough of B, then it will make sense to cover and contrast both styles in this section Writing this section will require identifying relevant literature (integrate 10 additional journal articles).

Transactional, Transformational, LMX, Situational, Horizontal/Distributed, Ethical, Servant, Authentic Case Description (10%) Describe what happened in the case you selected. Presenting the events in a chronological order often makes the most sense. Clarify why you think this is a case of leadership failure and not a problem mostly unrelated to leadership. Draw on references (news articles etc.) when describing the case but write your own paraphrased summary.

Case Analysis (40%) Use the theory put forward under #2 to analyze the case described under #3 How does leadership theory help us understand what happened? What does leadership theory suggest for fixing the problem? Create an analysis table with three columns:

  1. ) listing the three core elements of the problem,
  2. ) summarizing strategies to address each of the three elements, and
  3. ) citations of literature to back up the strategies.

Why are the suggested strategies a good fit? How exactly could they be implemented? Create an implementation table with two columns:

  1. ) adverse effects – when implementing your strategies, what could go wrong, and how could such adverse effects be mitigated?
  2. ) context factors – what are factors unique to the case? How would your strategy have to be adapted if implemented in a different context? Provide examples. Explain the table.

Summary (5%) Summarize the entire paper in one paragraph. References Provide a least two double-spaced pages of references. Each reference should have been meaningfully included into the body of the paper.

CASE STUDY

Sterile Compounding is one of the most important skills that Hospital and Institutional Pharmacy Technicians should master. Proper Sterile Compounding depends majorly on accurate techniques, and accurate Dosage Calculations. Pharmacy Technicians can easily make a mistake that can cost a patient’s life if not caught by the pharmacist in the right time” 1
What could happen if appropriate techniques or correct dosage calculations were not followed?

Your task for this week is as follows:

Research the internet, and find the following:
An article or a video that discusses errors, cases or misadventures that occur in a pharmacy, a hospital, or a clinic due to wrong calculations or inappropriate techniques used for sterile compounding. Post the link here.   4 Pts.

  • What did you learn from this video? Summarize its content in 1-2 paragraph/s.   4 Pts.
  • What rule/ standard/ law/ regulation have been violated?  2 Pts.
  • What were the punishments?  2 Pts.
  • Do you agree with the punishment? Why?  1 Pts.

CSIM20 program creation using C and putty

The project :

    1. Implement a simple pull-based cache invalidation scheme by using CSIM20. In the scheme, a node generates a query and sends a request message to a server if the queried data item is not found in its local cache. If the node generates a query that can be answered by its local cache, it sends a check message to the server for validity. The server replies to the node with a requested data item or a confirm message. A set of data items is updated in the server. This scheme ensures a strong consistency that guarantees to access the most updated data items.2. Refer to the following technical paper and its simulation models (e.g., server, client, caching, data query and update, etc.):
    2. G. Cao, “A Scalable Low-Latency Cache Invalidation Strategy for Mobile Environments,” ACM Mobicom, pp. 200-209, 2000

For the sake of simplicity, use the following simulation parameters. Run your simulation several times by changing the simulation parameters (e. g. , T_query and T_update). Y ou can make an assumption and define your own parameter(s). Then draw result graphs in terms of (i) cache hit ratio and (ii) query delay by changing mean query generation time and mean update arrival time, similar to Figs. 3 and 4 in the paper. Note that remove a cold state before collecting any results.
