Respond for this posting one paragraph with two references and citation Agenda setting is a huge process that involves many steps. According to (Cobb, 2020), agenda setting takes three “streams”, these streams have to work together before a policy problem makes it on the agenda. These three streams are a problem, the solution presented, and the “political will to deal with it.” These three streams can involve a lot of work. First you have a problem, this problem is determined to be a problem by the citizens, government, etc. They prove it is a problem with data to support as evidence. This process alone is lengthy, requires a lot of research and data collection. Next is the solution, sometimes this may be the hardest part. We can have issues with a current policy but, not have a solution to change the policy. Then last you have to have the political support and willingness to deal with the issue. After these three streams are working together, then getting it put on the agenda take persistence and someone to push for it. Who would be an agenda maker? This could be several people. For one, progressives, these people feel strong about an issue and are persistent to push for change. Senate members also set agendas. They are presented with the problem and solution by regional government officials from state to state. These issues may include for example, the need for a COVID vaccine in Kentucky. This is the problem, with evidence of the number of COVID cases in the region. The solution is to obtain the vaccines, providing the statistics and resources to get them. Then the willingness for the senate member to work with this issue. According to (Milken, 2020), there are several different vaccines available, one being DNA based vaccination and another being inactivated virus. These are two vaccines that will be available in the next couple weeks. This agenda setting was successful, vaccines are being distributed now. The reason for the success was due to the mass casualties and illnesses reported all over the region. References Whitman Cobb, W. N. (2020). Political science today. (1st ed.).

Use APA 7. Peer 1 Week 5 Post Laura Lledo Rodriguez Week 5 Post Ethical issues might arise in research that can result in bias outcomes. The researcher faced several ethical issues that were related to the participation of student including nature of participation as well as informed consent. The researcher did not adhere to protocols for informed consent and autonomy to withdraw or participate in the study. Collaboration and participation should be voluntary. Participants should be free to withdraw from the study without consequences. The involuntary nature of participation and lack of informed consent affected the overall results of the study, (Bell, et al., 2018). The study resulted in an ethical dilemma for the action research team due to the lack of informed consent. One of the ways to resolve this issue is by honoring the participant’s autonomy to make informed decisions concerning participating in the study. Informed consent enables respondents to participate willingly without undue threats or coaching. In addition, it promotes a positive attitude and perception regarding research processes and objectives after and before completing the study. The researcher should also ensure that the principle of beneficence and justice is observed throughout the research procedure. I believe that research requires extensive knowledge of statistics. Most of the research requires to calculate correlation, mean and medium. The main aim of a study is to identify, describe a concept, and predict or explain a situation or solution to a problem The duties and responsibilities of researchers include writing proposals and delivering presentations where required (Mills, 2018). Following the strict code of ethics and protecting private and confidential data at all times. Interpreting research specification and coming up with a work plan that satisfies requirements. Conducting research by using books, interviews, gathering data, survey, journal articles, newspaper sources, polls, and questionnaire. Some of the digital research tools that are used by researchers include a blog, skype and wiki. The researcher should interpret, evaluate and analyze trends and patterns. Record findings by taking written notes and using the appropriate software. Some of the software that the researcher can use include dragon mobile assistance, dragon dictate and dragon dictation. Dragon mobile assistance is a software application used for voice recognition. In addition, the researcher is responsible for protecting and maintaining electronic databases.

RESPOND EACH STUDENT 200 WORDS Ronnie Sims Week 4 Rodgers vs. Mackey Top of Form Maximizing long term shareholder value is one of the objectives many businesses have in determining their growth and success. Shareholders are regarded as the owners of the companies and so, their worth should always be given the top priority before any other business is considered. However, when corporations act ethically by contributing towards their immediate societies through corporate social responsibility initiatives, they are seen to disregard the shareholder wealth maximization objective. Organizations should strike a balance between community based charity initiatives and taking care of their real owners. Firms that fail to maximize the wealth of their owners have always been at loggerheads and may end up losing their worth in the market. Adding more value to the society than it is to the company may mean lack of understanding of the company and its objectives which is also another recipe for long term failure. This concept is far more important to businesses, society and individuals in that its understanding facilitates proper coordination between the three extremes. The best position to approach this issue is from Mackey whose ideas stress on the need to balance between organizational objectives and societal needs. According to Hartman, DesJardins, & MacDonald, (2018). When the long-term shareholder value is fully maximized, attention should then focus on the societal needs based on their urgency. Individuals will have a better understanding of the firm, its objectives and the focal areas before its attention is shifted to those outside its realms. Additionally, the society will know where the focus of the organization is and develop a framework that will cater for their needs, instead of depending on the corporation for all their needs. Bottom of Form Miguel Bernal Week 4 Discussion Top of Form There are many corporations throughout the world that are successful and some that go under. The ones that survived are the ones that create items that society needs, but also sell their product at a price that people can afford. The job of business managers is to make sure that the company’s investing in technology, buying or maintaining equipment, process running correctly, people are working efficiently, and facilities are in working order. On top of that, workers need to be provided with fair wages and good benefits. If workers feel that they are not getting treated right, they might refuse to work for the company or go on strike. These means that products for that company will not be created and the stock prices start falling. All of these items required money, money helps create the products and money in needed to pay workers. Some of the money is from shareholders, which could also be used for investments. The more shareholders buy stocks, the more money than can flow into the company for expansion of facilities, equipment, human capital, an.

Classmate: Tcj The two influences that have changed the nature of work are the continually evolving technology and all kinds of researched and invented tests. In the 1990s job performance was still searching for predictors that show workplace standard performance (Borman, Ilgen, & Klimoski, 2003). The world of work most importantly in the industrial and organizational psychology field focuses on human behavior in the workplace with the help of technology. New software’s and fast technologies have made an incredible change in the workplace and how the roles become more efficient and cost-effective in organizations. Databases and networking technology make it possible for operations to function effectively (Bridges, 1994). Additionally, new technology allows us to create automate both assembly and production lines to help cut human labor to increase production. As we grow in our work environments, services and technologies along with new trends have allowed the workforce to emerge and grow. The economy is on the rise with different organizations and firms Historically providing testing for different reasons still questions the data obtained and the variables. Researchers have done very well isolating tests to perform what it is intended to measure. Testing is used widely to fill certain job positions and seek certain characteristics in an individual for specialized careers. Mr. Alfred Binet who invented the first intelligence test commonly known today as the Binet-Simon scale. The French doctor specialized in a neurological lab in Paris then went to explore the field of psychology (Binet’s Intelligence Test, n.d.). .

Respond by providing at least two contributions for improving or including in their Parent Guide and at least two things that you like about their guide. NOTE: Positive comment Main Discussion ADHD Parent Guide Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is defined as a chronic neurological disorder characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity/impulsivity. In 2016, it is estimated that 6.1 million or 9.4% of children had a diagnosis of ADHD ( Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , n.d.). A diagnosis of ADHD can be both confusing and welcomed. Confusing because the details of the diagnosis are unknown but welcomed because the parents and child finally have a “why” for the child’s difficulties. This parent guide will discuss the pathophysiolology, diagnosing, signs/symptoms, treatment options, and other aspects involved in an ADHD diagnosis. Pathophysiology Many research studies suggest ADHD may be caused by interactions between genes and environmental or non-genetic factors. Many cases of ADHD have a genetic origin. A child is 50% more likely to have ADHD if their parent was diagnosed with the condition and 25% of the children with ADHD have parents who have met the criteria for a diagnosis of ADHD. Other factors that can contribute to ADHD is substance use, low birth weight, brain injuries and exposure to some environmental toxins. ADHD is a result of neurotransmitter disease dysfunction, that effect dopamine and norepinephrine. Dopamine has a role in a person's ability to learn and reinforcing trained response to various situations. Dopamine also plays and important role in "working memory"( Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder , 2004). Norepinephrine effects a person's alertness and attention. Norepinephrine is activated by novel and important stimuli and are quiescent during sleep. Environmental factors of ADHD is a result of a toxin such as lead or other nuero-toxic substances that may result in delayed development of the child's brain before, during or birth. Substance abuse is a very common cause of pre- and perinatal factors that may result in ADHD. Exposure of the fetus to alcohol is associated with a reduction in the volume of the prefrontal and temporal cortices, the brain areas involved in regulation of attention and control of impulsivity. ( Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder , 2004) Diagnosing ADHD While there is no single test to diagnosis ADHD, there are ways to obtain an accurate diagnosis. Who diagnosis ADHD? There are many health care professionals who are qualified to diagnose ADHD. These professionals include but are not limited to psychiatrist, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP), licensed master social worker (LMSW), licensed professional counselor (LPC), neurologist, pediatricians, and primary care physicians.

Respond agree or disagree Vulnerabilities in system design can be detrimental to any network, large or small any flaw that can be exploited should not be taken lightly. Engineers generally assume that mechanisms serve their intended purpose. Is that always true? The “smarter” something is, the quicker we lose control and become fully dependent on it (Trofimova & Hoske, 2016). A vulnerability I found is a trust assumption and that is when a designer is aware of a security weakness and determining that a separate security control would compensate for it. However, trust assumptions are often implicit, such as creating a feature without first evaluating the risks it would introduce (Mozilla, 2018). This is something that when designing your system to not underestimate because as the article stated, these assumptions are often complicit and don't take every risk into account which could leave a window open to your system. Another is always consider the users, this means when designing your network take into account the people that will be using it on a daily basis (IEEE, 2014) Every system is different and complex and therefore requires the designer to know who his users are. The security stance of a software system is inextricably linked to what its users do with it. It is therefore very important that all security-related mechanisms are designed in a manner that makes it easy to deploy, configure, use, and update the system securely. Remember, security is not a feature that can simply be added to a software system, but rather a property emerging from how the system was built and is operated (IEEE, 2014).

DevOps is a team where Developers and Operations work together to produce a finished product that has been through QA and cybersecurity teams have also made suggestions and participated during the production.

Offer and support an opinion. Validate an idea with your own experience. Make a suggestion. Expand on your colleague’s posting. Classmate TH Being the future of this field it is important to understand, recall, and reflect on the historical significance of those who have pioneered the trails that we shall follow. Within historical bounds it is important to understand and have a working knowledge of the work that those pioneers have performed ahead of us, which will all for a better product of consultation. When I recall historical significance within our field I think of the work of Dr. Stanley Silverman and how he was instrumental in the development of the WARS system. The WARS system was developed in conjunction with the University of Michigan in efforts to identify arrogance within organizational leadership. It has been fabled (and later proven fact) that good team members do not typically leave jobs they enjoy, rather the cause of departure is leadership they have problems. The works of Dr. Stanley have proven these speculations time and time again, through his works with some of the most public institutions known today (ie: Disney Entertainment). Through the development of items such as the WARS system work place synergism has been possible for many organizations when faced with adversity within a chain of command and/or leadership structure. I have been employed in public service for nearly 20 years (it is truly the only career I have ever known). I like many of my tenured colleagues have rose through our ranks from entry level paramedics to high ranking leadership positions. I no longer have high ranking "brass" ever since I decided to modify my career path in efforts to lessen demands and stress. I now fly on medical helicopters in PA and NJ as a crew member which allows my to pursue my true passions of medicine and aviation. The organization which I was part of the prior leadership structure had many safe guards in place to ensure that we all worked as a team in addition to staying "grounded" as managers with certain types of authorities that the "rank and file" did not. We met twice a year with a consultant from Penn State University who would lead various discussion on effective communication. The results which we experienced in staff satisfaction surveys in addition to annual reviews proved to us that this basic training was needed and was effective. .

Respond agree or disagree There is still an argument that whether the cloud system provides better security or not. The author clearly states that, the risk management depends on the deployment factors and security infrastructure existing in the organization. The writer also indicates about risk equation to evaluate the pros and cons of cloud regarding risk management and vulnerability (Lindstrom, 2015). Pros of Cloud in Risk Management and Vulnerability Scale and Flexibility: Since the need for cloud increases, the importance of managing vulnerability, considering risk management and other important factors also grows dramatically (Zhang, 2017). Coverage and Visibility: In cloud system, there is a high possibility of coverage and visibility of assets, security and polices and guidelines that will help to understand the risk management and vulnerability of the cloud (Zhang, 2017) Proactive Response: Security can be embedded during deployment and will provide a better protection method proactively (Zhang, 2017). Cons of Cloud in Risk Management and Vulnerability Change in Level of Threat: Due to the availability of the data to more people, there is more activity going on. Attackers use this opportunity to find vulnerability and make an attack. The threat increases once the data is available in the internet (Lindstrom, 2015). Attackers Cost Benefit: Attackers do not spend more time by research and training. They always calculate their benefit. So, when data is available in the cloud, hackers will get good opportunity to attack the cloud (Lindstrom, 2015). Deployment Risk: There is a high chance of vulnerability when the application environment is moving from the legacy system to highly distributed, virtualized architecture. The author also explains the possibility of collateral damage simply because the public cloud system is shared with others (Lindstrom, 2015). Lindstrom, P. (2015). Better Cloud Security: Do the Math.

Respond 250 Do you think IGOs create a convergence of state interest? Convergence of state interest goes along the same line as socialization with both influenced by interact with other entities (Greenhill 2010, Tanninchev 2015). I think of two examples; US/Soviet cessation of the Cold War (Horelick 1989) and the UK/North Ireland Good Friday Agreement (Mageean and O’Brien 1998). Since the inception of the Cold War, the US and Soviet Union faced off across the globe both economically (free market versus communism) and militarily (the Cuban Missle Crisis nearly escalated into nuclear war). Robert McNamara, for Secretary of Defense under President Johnson agrued “that the more each reacted to the other’s escalation, the more they had chosen “an insane road to follow.” (Department of State n.d.). Both countries distrusted one another deeply and sought influence around the globe. SALT I and II (never ratified but agreed upon) sought to limit further escalation and stabilize relations (ibid). The Good Friday Agreements (Kelly n.d.) brought an end to the period known as The Troubles in Northern Ireland. Factions on both sides, Westminister and Belfast, finally agreed to end hostilities with consessions made on both sides. The landmark deal, chaired by Senator George Mitchell at the behest of President Clinton, was the first unification step subsequently follwoed by several other agreements (Landow and Sergie 2020). This question recalled just one country and its effort towards socialization and that is post WWII Germany. By any reasonable standard, Germany’s post war reconciliation (Rienzi 2015, Johns Hopkins 2015) and reintegration into the global community is the benchmark for other countries to emulate (Evans 2018). Its turn around post-World War II enabled it to be a world leader today. Greenhill (2010) determined, “IGOs can change state behavior through a process of socialization calls for a more optimistic assessment of the effects of participation in international institutions”. In Germany’s case, he is on point though it was considerable internal effort that put the country toward its current status (Rienzi 2015, Johns Hopkins 2015, Evans 2018). His basic point is laying with dogs will get you fleas. I believe, overall, this is true. Greenhill states, “...socialization effects refer to behavioral changes that presumably come about through changes in the actors’ interest” (2010). However, outliers show the limited effect of OIGs. Russia, North Korea and China, are all members of numerous IGOs but all still have questionable human rights records (HRW n.d.) (HRW n.d.) (HRW n.d.). They are certainly not the only countries with questionable records but, I observe, they are the ones most focused on by the international community. Socialization can occurs but the countries must pursue change, sometimes with help (sanctions) (McMahon 2006), and sometimes with internal forces (Rienzi 2015). This question certain.

Respond & Disagree ! Try to choose a post that you respectfully disagree with. Respond from the perspective of either a union member or the manager of an organization. If your peer provided a real-world example, respond from the opposing perspective referred to in your peer's post. How does the role and purpose of the modern union need to be redefined to effectively serve its membership? “Unions must work to maximize solidarity by empowering unit members, and prioritizing issues based on worker perspectives, unit composition, and geography” (Herbert, 2019). With the option to opt out of the union along with the dues (in the public sector), the employee needs to see the value of remaining in the bargaining unit. This means that the union must be responsive to members concerns at the local level. How does the presence of a union influence the job of the HR professional? In my current position as an HR professional, I work with 8 different unions as well as a group that is unrepresented. Each group has its own pay scales and benefits package that they have negotiated. I have to make sure that they are implemented and maintained correctly. This can be complicated with each group having different rules for overtime, step increases, longevity, paid time off, and special pay for certain duties. We have policies but the collective bargaining agreements (CBA) supersede some of them. When an issue arises, I look at the appropriate CBA and relevant policies to determine the correct course of action. When supervisors meet with employees and the meeting could lead to corrective action, the employee has the right to have a representative from the union at the meeting. This requires that meetings be planned and scheduled. When a contract comes up for bargaining, HR is at the table and it requires significant work in preparing data and negotiating. We also have to make sure that our non-represented group has fair and equitable treatment even though they are not represented. .

Respond 1 Impetigo The purpose of this discussion is to review impetigo. Impetigo can be mistaken for other skin conditions such as herpes simplex. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately identify what it is. Impetigo is a skin disorder that is superficial in nature. It can spread from person to person and on other parts of the body (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2020). Pathophysiology The main form of transmission is direct contact. The infection is caused by bacteria (CDC, 2020). Staphylococcus aureus is the main causative agent in older children. Group A beta-hemolytic streptococci also causes impetigo (Hubert & VanMeter, 2018). Interruption in the skin barrier allows the bacteria to access fibronectin receptors in the skin, which is needed for colonization (Nardi & Schaefer, 2020). Infection is further spread by itching due to the irritable nature of the lesions. Autoinoculation with hand creates more vesicles (Hubert & VanMeter, 2018). The Most Common Presenting Symptoms Impetigo can be found on any part of the body (CDC, 2020). However, it is mostly seen on the face (Hubert & VanMeter, 2018). Small red vesicles quickly become larger. The vesicles break open and forms a yellowish-brown crust. Liquid with honey colored appearance is seen under the crusts (Hubert & VanMeter, 2018). Routinely Diagnosed Impetigo is diagnosed by initial observation of an abnormality in the skin during a physical exam. The diagnosis can be confirmed with a bacterial culture, especially if there is an epidemic or if methicillin-resistant staph aureus (MRSA) is a concern. A biopsy of the skin can be obtained in some cases of untreatable impetigo (Nardi & Schaefer, 2020). Serologic testing for streptococcus antibodies is not done since anti-streptolysin O (ASO) response is not strong enough for diagnosing impetigo in this manner. Nonetheless, it can be used in conditions where post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis is questioned for patients who had a new outbreak of impetigo (Nardi & Schaefer, 2020). Otherwise lab testing is not needed (CDC, 2020). Standard Treatment Plan Impetigo is managed with antibiotics since it is a bacterial infection. Administration of antibiotic drugs is needed in cases where the infection is extensive. Otherwise the topical cream is prescribed when the infection is in a mild state (Hubert & VanMeter, 2018). If left untreated, the infection will resolve on its own. However, treatment with antibiotics decreases complications (Nardi & Schaefer, 2020). Prior to applying topical antibiotic cream, soap and water should be used to remove the crust. The treatment of choice with antibiotic cream are mupirocin, retapamulin, and fusidic acid. Otherwise, preferred treatment with systemic antibiotics are amoxicillin-clavulanate, cephalosporins, dicloxacillin (Nardi & Schaefer, 2020).
