Compare/contrast elements of the book Opposite of Always with another form of diverse media for children/adolescents. Be sure to tell WHY these specific elements are important in terms of diversity & representation. Avoid using I and there is a minimum of 3 sources.

How are the two forms similar/different? Does it change a reader/viewers interpretation? If, it does how so?

My suggestion is a comparison between the book, Opposite of Always and either the film/book Angie Thomass The Hate U Give. You are welcome to choose any tv show, movie, book, magazine, or social media that compares to Opposite of Always.

s part of the course, you will analyze an aviation or aerospace industrial management issue related to production/operations management, write a research paper, and create a presentation.

Considering the 10 OM decisions, your paper will be a review of issues that were caused by a failure in the production/operations management process. You will compare and contrast the current research findings with the principles and concepts presented in your Heizer, et al. textbook.

All reference sources should be from academic journals, professional trade publications, and respected business or industry magazines. Limit the use of books as sources. Do NOT use articles or sources from Wikipedia! Use references published within the past six years.

The basic rules for your research paper include:

Follow the current APA rules for manuscripts closely.
Paper should be 10 pages at a minimum.
Use one-inch margins on all sides.
Left justify all narrative.
Use Times New Roman font, 12-point.
Indent the first line of each paragraph one-half inch.
Double space everything in the paper. Do not add extra lines or spacing between paragraphs or sections of the paper.
Insert the running header at the top left and the page number at the top right of each page of the paper.

Wow. I was a bit shocked (although I don’t know why) to see the second slide from Preston et al for who Writes Prescriptions for Psychotropic Medications (Wolfe, 2020, Slide 2).  Did I read it correctly, understanding that 40% of psychiatrists prescribe antipsychotics, and 60% of nonpsychiatric medical doctors are prescribing antipsychotics?  The antianxiety and depressant groups were largely underrepresented for both the psychiatrists and the nonpsychiatric medical doctor groups if you ask me.  Especially from professions that should be reviewing and understanding psychopharmacology  There is an obvious gap, but communication through a split treatment model is the key, according to the material for this week.

I think that like with most things, the advantage and disadvantages depend on the situation.  In some cases, the split treatment model reduces professional exhaustion with challenging clients Wolfe (2020).  For instance, the psychotherapist can work on the developmental processes to engage somatic, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral elements, focusing on education and recognizing early signs of recurrence, assessing risks and benefits of the medications, altering to drug interactions and toxicity implications, and/or encouraging communication overall, while the psychiatrist can help manage some of the immediate physiological imbalances like mood stability with pharmaceutical integration.  Having the ability to split the treatment tasks can alleviate not only the potential for exhaustion but can add an element of accountability for either professional as well.  Most importantly the advantages offer an array of perspective and treatment modalities for the client to choose from, financial commitments included.  It is their journey, after all, were just sitting in the passenger seat, right?

Necessarily, the split models induced accountability effect encourages a prescription for deprescribing and I am really happy about that.  According to Gupta et al., (2016), the process of pharmacologic regimen optimization, reduces or completely ceases the use of medications for which the benefit no longer outweighs risks.  The meaning and indication of medication are far too often overlooked in both industries in my opinion.  Together, we must try to bring it back to a client-centered focus, qualifying the therapeutic alliance over provisions of the market.

Disadvantages include the potential of the professional to diffuse the responsibility while the client falls between the cracks, and/or an undermining/negative bias of each others recommendations/professions (which is common in my opinion and perhaps the main reason for diffusion), and its been mentioned to possibly foster resistance to one model over the other (probably due to the bias between professions, and the reality that medication doesnt fix issues).  Never the less, both models offer and deliver useful utility and should be considered regardless.

Researchers continue to evaluate ethnic and cultural factors in psychopharmacology.

In a comparative study of Sengalese and Italian men, Marazziti et al. (2020) argued for ethnicity as a decisive factor in reactions to psychotropic drugs. The researchers specifically focused on the way genetic receptors of the serotonin transporter impact our response to SSRIs.

The researchers compared the platelet SERT (serotonin transporter) and plasma oxytocin levels of 20 Senegalese men and 20 Italian men. None of the participants had a personal or family history of psychiatric diagnoses. In addition, none of the participants ever took psychotropic drugs.

In comparison to Italian men, Senegalese men showed a statistically meaningful higher density of bindings sites, in addition to elevated plasma levels — measurements that directly affect the body’s SSRI reception.

The researchers ultimately called for more research into neuro-psychopharmacology and cautioned against administering psychopharmacological compounds to non-European patients, an example of a shift toward personalized medicine over the psychiatric mainstay of medical universalism (Bhugra & Bhui, 1999).

Despite its self-described limitations — namely, the possibility that factors other than ethnicity might drive the results, such as diet or personal genetics — the study is a call for a relativist approach. This is an important recurring theme in this class. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, the literature consistently encourages the practice of psychopharmacology through a holistic lens.

Adapted from Managing Human Resources, by Randall Schuler.  1994, West Publishing.
Sue Campbell, the training rep for the regional office of a large service organization, is excited about trying a new training program.  The HR department at the headquarters office informed her six months ago that it had purchased a speed-reading training program from a reputable firm and that statistics showed the program had indeed been proven very effective in other companies.
Sue knew that most individuals in the regional office were faced, on a daily basis, with a sizable amount of incoming correspondence, including internal memoranda, announcements of new and revised policies and procedures, reports of federal legislation, and letters from customers.  So, a course in speed reading should certainly help most employees.
The headquarters office had flown regional raining reps in for a special session on how to conduct the training, and Sue therefore began the program in her regional office with great confidence.  She led five groups (30 employees each) through the program, which consisted of nine two-hour sessions.  Sessions were conducted in the on-site training facilities.  Altogether, 1,200 employees in the organization participated in the training, and an approximate cost to the company of  $110 per participant (including training materials and time away from work).  The program was well-received by participants, and speed tests administered before and after training showed that, on average, reading speed increased 250 percent with no loss in comprehension.
A couple of months after the last session, Sue informally asked a couple of employees who went through the training whether speed reading was easing their workload.  They said they were not using it at work but did use it in their off-the-job reading.  Sue checked with several other participants and heard the same story.  Although they were using speed-reading techniques at home and for school courses, they were not using it on the job.  When Sue asked them about all the reading material that crossed their desks daily, the typical response was, I never read those memos and policy announcements anyway!  Sue is concerned about the information but didnt know what to do with it.

QUESTIONS
Did Sue waste valuable training funds?
Should Sue now start a program to get the employees to read the memos and policy announcements?
How could Sue have avoided this situation she now faces?
Should organizations provide training programs to improve skills that will not be used on the job?

1) Select a real and specific example of research within three, separate social media channels try to find varying examples, e.g. political, B2C, non-profit.
