Controversial Topics in Human Services

October 1, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Humanities

Controversial Topics in Human Services
Research published viewpoints, found in no fewer than two scholarly sources or other credible sources, regarding the pros and cons of legalization of marijuana from the perspective of the human services discipline and profession. Based on these sources, your required readings on controversial issues and marijuana legalization, and reflections on your values and ethics, write an initial post to the forum identifying and evaluating one or more implications of this issue for the provision of human services.

Then, apply these reflections to a fictional or real (if you happen to know of one) case study concerning a human services client who is a heavy marijuana user. Specify gender, age, and related environmental and personal issues and circumstances, such as: Is this a legalized state? Is the clients use related to a medical and/or psychological need? How is the client claiming to get the money for the marijuana?

In your initial post, address the following:

Describe how the issue of legalization and its controversial character affect your professional responsibilities broadly and your practice with regard to the client.
Provide one or more examples describing how you, as a human services provider, would act in response to specific scenarios that might come up in practice, assessing how social factors, legal factors, and/or the larger moral context might create tensions or conflict with respect to values.
Tie in this scenario (or scenarios) with conceptual discussions and arguments put forth in your sources, describing how your (fictional or actual) experience is informed and explained by the literature and this week’s readings.
In your responses to no fewer than two of your peers, compare and contrast your cases, commenting on how similar and/or divergent analyses apply in each case.

I am a goup member for a Final Paper on drug shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Each section must be clearly identified.  My two individual sections to cover for the paper are:

1. The product(s) and their market (hydroxychloroquine, midazolam, and fentanyl):  Which segment of the pharmaceutical industry do these products belong to?  How big is the segment?  How big are the product’s share of their industry?  Who are the major producers?

2. The Supply Chain that produces and delivers the products:  Key players in the supply chain and their roles?  Raw material suppliers?  Transporters?  Wholesalers/Distributors?  Retailers?  What value do they add?

WEP, WPA, WPA2 and WPA3 wireless security protocols

October 1, 2020 Leave a comment Computer Science, IEEE

This is survey research project for exploring the technical side of all WPA technology. It is a thorough description of each type and their application, their drawbacks from a deep technical stance and proposing a solution that will address the problems of the older models of WPA with WPA3 being the solution to all the problems. The entire report should be written from a technical and expert point of view and not general references and term but dive deep into the explanations and descriptions.
You need to explain the features and the attacks against these protocols in your research paper

WEP
WPA
WPA2
WPA3

Project Survey
1. Abstract.

2. Introduction
    Discuss the background and motivation of your work. (What inspired the writing of this document, raising awareness with indepth knowledge)
    Summarize the research problem. (All WPAs of all types are prone to attacks, dont mention WPA3 which only be mentioned in section 6 as the solution to all problems)
    Summarize the proposed solution/approach to the problem. (Describe how WPA3 is fixing issues from other WPAs how this technology can be implemented on a corporate and global scale)

3. Problem statement
    what is the problem, why it is important to solve it -motivation-, what are the related security challenges/issues and how they are related to the studied topic?

4. Requirements
    Identify and present what the requirements should the solution fulfill
o    which functionalities it provides; i.e. characteristics of each WPA and their application of use for different scenarios 
o    What properties the system should have to differentiate each one from the other 

5. State-of-the-Art (should be different from background)
    Discuss research previously written by other writers related to problem described in section 3
    Classify, organize/categorize the different solutions
    Compare and show advantages and disadvantages of their findings
o    Analyze the solutions using the requirements: which requirements do they meet and which ones they dont from a security perspective on a personal, corporate and global level for each of the points mentions in section 5

6. Research challenges
If you want to design a system that solves the problem you described and meet all the requirements you identified, what will be the challenges that you have to solve? The optimum solution is WPA3
    Identify the challenges (open issues) related to the solution
    Categorize these challenges
    Give a detailed description of each challenge: explain what is the challenge, why it is difficult to solve, etc.

7. Roadmap and hints
    in which order may the challenges be addressed (search for known security flaws in the WPA3 and how are the negative effects e.g. 1)WPA is not backwards compatible from what I understand. WPA3 is it’s own new standard and any client device you have needs to be upgraded to also support WPA3, 2)The researchers found that even with WPA3, an attacker within range of a victim can still recover the password to the Wi-Fi network.
)
    give hints about how to solve each (most) of the identified issues

8. Conclusions
    Summarize the conclusions of your work. Future work is optional.

9. References
    List all the citations referenced in your paper minimum of 20-30. You will lose 1 points for each missing or dangling reference (i.e., the reference not cited in the main text).
    Use IEEE format, and present the references in order [1], then [2], etc.;
o    The first reference to be referenced in the paper is [1], the second to be referenced is [2], etc.
o    Total of exactly 12 references are required for this is report

o Format, respect of outline, quality of English
o The paper should have single spaced line with the font size 11 Times New Roman.

Although analyzing statistical data can be challenging, it is equally challenging to convert these data into a written format. Therefore, in this activity, you will practice the important skill of data analysis and presenting statistical information in a written format. Using the provided datasets of offenses reported, calculate the mean, median, mode, max, min, and range for each of the crimes. The list of crimes includes violent crime total, murder and non-negligent manslaughter, legacy rape, revised rape, robbery, aggravated assault, property crime total, burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft.

The specific steps are as follows:

Download 1 of the following datasets of offenses from the Uniform Crime Report:
Accomack County Sheriff’s Office
Honolulu Police Department
Los Angeles Police Department
Calculate the mean, median, mode, max, min, and range for each of the following:
Violent crime total
Murder and non-negligent manslaughter
Legacy rape
Revised rape
Robbery
Aggravated assault
Property crime total
Burglary
Larceny-theft
Motor vehicle theft
Write 1 paragraph for each of the crimes, where you present the statistical results to the reader in a written format.

In no particular order, reexamine “Mr. Pirzada comes to Dine” and read Fatimah Asghar’s wonderful poem “Partition” here: https://poems.com/poem/partition/. Please print the poem out and mark it up.

Then, spend some time journaling on how the two works might be connected. What do they say about history, inheritance, and the immigrant experience? Differences? Similarities? Think as well about Asghar’s title “Partition”; what boundaries does Lahiri’s story explore, question? We’ll share these, so write something you can be proud of

ORIGINAL QUESTION:
Suppose you are interested in how children with severe autism experienced the receipt of special education assistance in public schools. This population is characterized by underdevelopment of social cognition, social skills, and language skills. How many children should be included in the study? Why? What are the factors considered in making this determination?

WRITE A RESPONSE TO THE FOLLOWING POST:

A qualitative case study would address the phenomenon and population under investigation. A case study requires a volume of data with a minimum of 10 cases, but 20 is recommended for attrition (Claerbaut, 2016). Parents, educators, and service specialists would also be sources of data. It is also possible that these stakeholders will decline participation or not allow their child to participate in the study. Therefore, informed consent is necessary before proceeding with the research study.

Data saturation is an essential aspect in determining the sample size of a case study. The sample size needs to be large enough to reach the point of data saturation where no new data is gathered on the research questions (Claerbaut, 2016). In this case, the population is characterized by underdevelopment of social cognition, social skills, and language skills, which means that observations would appropriate if conducted in a natural environment that could give insight to how children receive services (Claerbaut, 2016). However, the children may not be involved in other processes of data collection like interviews, focus groups, or answering questionnaires. In conclusion, the number of cases included depends on data saturation and attrition.

ORIGINAL QUESTION:
Suppose you are interested in how children with severe autism experienced the receipt of special education assistance in public schools. This population is characterized by underdevelopment of social cognition, social skills, and language skills. What is the best method for collecting data to answer your research question? Why is this method best? How would you describe the research design?

WRITE A RESPONSE TO THE FOLLOWING POST:
When a researcher is interested in investigating aspect of persons perception of a phenomenon the best methodology would be would be qualitative. A qualitative approach encompasses a systematic and subjective style intended to explain and to provide meaning to life experiences (Walker, 2016). Researcher Nancy walker also suggested that a qualitative approach is needed to analyze the how and why to answer unambiguous questions based upon a specific population. In this instance, the intended research is interested in analyzing the perception children with severe autism have of the special education assistance in public school. A qualitative design allows for the researcher to notice and explore the problem in a real-world setting as well as allowing the collected data to be emergent from the process and not manipulated or controlled (Walker, 2016). One design that will allow the researcher to gather information from the teacher, staff member, and parents is a descriptive design. Using a descriptive design, the researcher could give teacher, staff member, and parents survey, questionnaire and conduct interviews discussions the programs ability to service the needs of the students underdevelopment of social cognition, social skills, and language skills (Turale, 2020). The information obtained from teacher, staff member, and parents will be compared and vetted for connections and disparities of their perspectives, observations or experiences from the parental experience (Turale, 2020).
