What areas of technology are an issue for participants?

/in /by

Discussion boards are collaborative learning experiences. Review the concept of technology structures and social boundaries for organizations. Provide an overview of the technical and social terminology for organizations today. Within your discussion be sure to address the following areas:

• How do each of these apply to the three perspectives (natural, rational, and open)?
• What areas of technology are an issue for participants?
• What are the issues with organizational boundaries for participants?
• Personal perspectives
• Include any theoretical viewpoints for each of these areas. You are not limited to these questions, they are simply to assist you in the evaluation process.

How can you collaborate with colleagues and families to make academic decisions for individuals with exceptionalities?

Answer each question with 150 words and 2 references each.
1.) In Leviticus 27:12 (New Living Translation) it says, “He will assess its value, and his assessment will be final, whether high or low.” Should a single assessment ever be a final measure of a student’s abilities? Why or why not?
2.) How can you collaborate with colleagues and families to make academic decisions for individuals with exceptionalities? How can you provide feedback and engage individuals with exceptionalities in working toward quality learning and performance?

Compare and contrast the rational, natural, and open systems of organizations.

Do you feel that scientists should be cut out of the policy making process, particularly on environmental issues, when their research is proven and widely accepted and is being ignored and disputed?

/in /by

Each week throughout this course you will explore both sides of an environmental controversy. This week you look at the issue of science and politics. Review the background information. Then, using the References along with resources from your own research, write a 1-2 page response to the questions that follow. Remember to cite your sources using proper APA format.
Background Information
Today there are many complaints over the politicization of science. Many people believe politics should not play a role in science, but once government funds science, the funding decisions become political. In most social institutions, disagreements are settled by debate. Science in contrast, uses experiments to prove or disprove theories. Science is testable, and is self-proving. If a better explanation for a phenomenon is found, it will replace other explanations. This is why careful distinctions must be made between Frontier Science, Consensus Science, and Junk Science.
Many difficult controversies surround the environmental problems we face in the world today. Problems include: Air and water pollution, global warming, species and ecosystem biodiversity, energy, hazardous waste, population, and food supply issues. Politics control the financing of scientific research and development to help solve these issues. In politics passion wins over logic.
Science is not politics and cannot be debated in the same way politics are. Mixing politics with science produces bad science. Government efforts to fund research interfere with the maintenance of high scientific standards. The current Congress consists of 535 members. Of these members, 7 (1.3%), are scientists, and 21 others are healthcare professionals.

Questions
Do you feel that scientists should be cut out of the policy making process, particularly on environmental issues, when their research is proven and widely accepted and is being ignored and disputed? Politicians ultimately make the decisions, but shouldn’t the scientists have a voice?
Do you feel that lobbyists and special interest groups exert too great of an influence and act as an impediment to finding solutions to, and providing the funding for, research for the environmental problems we face?

a project about covid-19 must be made in which the negative impact on the Sefton Hall Nursing Home and the negative effects on the company must be specified. Tables should be made showing the costs of equipment, eg gloves, masks, uniforms. tables should be made with a comparison of equipment prices in March and the cost of protective equipment in August in which for example the price of gloves increased by 120%…
We need to discuss the impact of this virus on the company, on the employees, and business.
The project must be well structured with tables of costs and financial losses that the company (nursing home named Sefton Hall) has had in recent months.

Identify how the preventative care management approach promotes healthy living.

To plan, implement, and evaluate an effective program you must have a solid foundation in place to guide participants through all phases of the program. The purpose statement, goals, and objectives should give direction to your program and provide the groundwork for program evaluation.
Purpose Statement: Often referred to as a program overview, this is a short narrative that describes the intent of a program but also reflects the purpose behind it.
Example: The purpose of the community/population health program is to prove a wide variety of primary prevention strategies for residents in the priority population.
Program Goals: The program goals should be simple concise and should include two basic components: Who will be affected and what will change as a result of the program.
Example: To reduce the spread of HIV in New York.
Program Objectives: Objectives are more precise and represent smaller steps to ultimately help reach the program goal. Knowing how to construct objectives for a program is an important skill for a planner.
Example: Identify how the preventative care management approach promotes healthy living.
As you draft your purpose statement, goals, and objectives remember your priority population. Goals and objectives should be relevant and attainable for the population being served.
Your paper should be a minimum of two-pages long and include the following:
Select a priority population to serve
Examples: Rural or city populations; newly immigrated populations
Select a community/population health education program targeting prevalent public health issue (must be relevant to priority population)
Type 2 Diabetes, Obesity, Heart Disease and Daily Exercise
Describe your priority population and health issue.
Develop a purpose statement for your health education program
Develop a program goal
Minimum of one program goal
Develop program objectives
Minimum of 3 objectives
Now using your critical thinking skills, answer the following:
Discuss why the health issue is a problem and the ramifications if the problem goes unresolved.
Discuss the methods and actions that the program intends to implement to help solve the health issue and why these methods will be effective.
Format your paper using APA style, including a title page and a reference page that contains the sources you used. For help with formatting your paper, visit the APA Guide.
Submit your completed assignment to the drop box below. Please check the Course Calendar for specific due dates.
Save your assignment as a Microsoft Word document. (Mac users, please remember to append the “.docx” extension to the filename.) The name of the file should be your first initial and last name, followed by an underscore and the name of the assignment, and an underscore and the date. An example is shown below:

Define your approved organization as you wish in terms of the whole or of the part that is most relevant.

/in /by

This paper will require you to apply organizational theories, concepts, and perspectives from the module readings.

Guidelines

Define your approved organization as you wish in terms of the whole or of the part that is most relevant.             In 1-2 pages, provide a description of two to three problems identified. Your description need not be elaborate, but should provide enough information to enable someone unfamiliar with the organizational issues to understand the essentials. This portion should be just the facts, a description, not an analysis of the key events. If using a personal workplace, feel free to disguise names of people and the organization if you desire.

After you have set the foundation, apply theories learned from the course to analyze your chosen organization and its identified problems. Utilizing the three perspectives, ensure clarity is evident on areas of which system, organizational environment, and changes as part of your analysis.

Lastly, provide a personal perspective that discusses what you would implement to address the problems to move the organization forward as part of the evolving changes for organizations today.
