Comparing Humanistic-Existential Psychotherapy with Other Approaches
Psychologists have developed various theories on human psychology. The Humanist,
existential, and humanist existential models explain the personality changes. The models are
central in therapies as they define how people perceive and accept life challenges. The humanist
model emphasizes the innate goodness in people, while the humanist-existential psychotherapy
model argues that personalities change, and people can develop new attributes based on
circumstances.
Two models: Humanistic-existential psychotherapy and Humanist psychotherapy
Humanistic-existential Psychotherapy
Humanistic Existential Psychotherapy (HE) postulates that the human personality is
dynamic, and changes occur across the lifespan that defines personality at each point
(Hounkpatin et al., 2015). The model integrates humanistic and existentialist approaches. The
humanist perspective claims that human beings are good, while the existentialist proposes that
people are neither good nor bad (Daei Jafari et al., 2020). Integration of the two models creates a
dynamic person capable of actualizing based on situations and strengths. The model is adopted as
a transition from the traditional conception of personality as a stable element that remains
consistent throughout life. The HE models framework asserts that individuals confront and
challenge a meaningless life as they transform their lives into a personality they desire. The
person pursues self-rated health, self-efficacy, psychological turning point, and life satisfaction
that involves a subjective evaluation of an individual’s wellbeing (Hounkpatin et al., 2015).
These components keep an individual driven to improve their lives. Notably, societal norms and

Dr. Caroline P.
Rationale for the group
In Massachusetts, we have several groups for substance use both such as AA meetings and , NA meetings that are held in most area areasjust not a sufficient amount. Some. So me groups are also held at treatment centers by alumni which is a great thing because it will provide members with great responsibility skills. Some of the groups like psychoeducation and 12 steps meetings are mainly for those who are going through andchallenges and have a past with substance use. I plan to hold a group not only for those who have been through it but also withhave family members that are looking for resources and better understanding of the disease. The need for substance use group in the Boston, MassMassachusetts community is in high demand. Although Boston is a wide community where the rent can be high and have good paying jobs, many still struggle s with the everyday life stressors that can lead to excessive drinking. In my community I believe that the need for substance use group can benefit so many specifically those in the poverty area, because they are dealing with these issues every day. Also, due to therapy being frown upon in their environment and some lack the ability to seek professional help. Although some may have the need but will not attend due to therapy being frown upon in their environment. Comment by Perjessy, Caroline: Make sure you are revising for clarity. I know you said this was a draft, so keeping that In mind Comment by Perjessy, Caroline: Revise for clarity
The purpose of substance use group is to help individuals who are have dealing with anxiety and have an underlining issue like anxiety. Substance use clients with underlining issues like anxiety lack coping skills and the ability to perform everyday tasks. Evidence by, the lack of motivation, traumatic event, exposure to violence, withdrawal, and continuing alcohol or drug use. However, the misuse of alcohol not only can lead to neurological as well as anxiety. Several individuals who are actively using have an underlining issue that has cause them to use excessively rather its depression, bipolar, or anxiety. I will be focusing mainly on anxiety. Anxiety can be something that several deal with in silent or out loud, those who have been impacted by the disease either way many are not getting the help they deservemerit. Especially those who have been impacted with the disease For example, not they feeling at time they are not good enoughenough, the uncertainty of their job,; and will they have their job back; doubts about being accepted back into their familywill they have a family after.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), depression is a common and severe
health issue that affects how someone feels, thinks and acts. The most common symptoms of
depression are; having bad moods and feeling very sad, losing interest in the activities that were
once fun, loss of appetite, which in turn will lead to massive weight loss or gain that is not related
to dieting and difficulty in concentrating, thinking or making decisions (LeMoult & Gotlib, 2019).
People become depressed due to various factors; some of the significant social factors that
bring about depression include; encountering traumatic events, separation from parents or
caregivers and being bullied. Personality some people are inclined towards experiencing
depression. For instance, people who tend to hold worries, have a low-self-esteem, are
perfectionists and are very sensitive towards negative criticism naturally have a higher likelihood
of facing depression.
Depression throughout history has always been a health problem for people. According to
articles written by philosophers and writers throughout humanity's history, there is depression,
which is a health condition. The articles also include some of the continuous struggles that have
been made to find a solution on treating this condition. For instance, the ancient Greeks and
Romans had different thinking on depression. Some of the literature shows that the Greeks had a
notion that depression was a form of evil spirit possession and used exorcism techniques like;
beatings and starvation as "treatments" to cure a person. On the other hand, the Romans thought
depression was a combination of biological and psychological issues and employed gymnastics,
special diet, herbal medicine and music to treat the patients (Taquet et al., 2020).
In our present day, some of the startling statistics concerning depression are; depression
affects approximately one in fifteen adults, that is close to 6.8% annually, and a projection of an
estimated one in six persons will encounter depression at a given point in their life, that is around

Learning Objectives
This was my third semester at Westcliff University, and I explored a wide range of
helpful strategies and practical techniques that benefited my overall career and life balance.
For instance, the habit of professional journaling helps me release my stress and motivate
myself to keep on track towards my goal.
From week 3, I started to prepare the professional portfolio, and I felt it was an
excellent way to keep a record of my achievements and experiences. From week 5, the
interview exercise taken with the senior manager from my department, I have learned about
her personal experiences and know a little more about strategic leadership. Another valuable
material that I learned from this class is always to be prepared. Before I interview the senior
manager, I prepare additional questions to ask my supervisor and colleagues about my
performance. I was nervous during the interview, but these extra questions helped me come
down and make the conversion more smooth.
At the beginning of this semester, my goal was to improve my communication skills
in the workplace and learn how to be more flexible in dealing with incidents. From week six
course’s video, “I Wanna Be a Human Resources Officer - A Day in the Life of a Human
Resources Officer,” made me see some perspectives of the responsibility of a Human
Resources Officer and provided me some direction to improve my interpersonal skills. I
always find ways to improve my confidence when I communicate with people and learn how
to be an active listener.
Week seven’s video about “Internship Expectations vs. Realities- the Intern Queen”
makes me think about expectations and realities at the workplace. What expectation does the
employer look for, and how should I improve my performance regarding their expectation?
3
Additionally, through this semester, I realized different ways of conveying a message
could have other effects and impact communication effectiveness. During the internship, I
utilized the benefits of a supportive and positive environment.
Taking everything into account, I believe that I made significant progress towards my
goals, and I became more efficient and productive at work.
Internship Experiences
This semester I am considering switching to a new company that will allow me to
practice my professional skills in the area of individual and corporate taxes. Therefore, I
started my journey to submit job applications and prepare for an interview. Finding an
appropriate position that matches my interests and abilities is not an easy task. I felt frustrated
for the first few weeks when I did not get many responses. However, I record all my feelings
and things that I need to work on in my resume and cover letter in my journal. Additionally, I

A. What are the departments or subdivisions into which your selected organization is divided, and how do these subdivisions work together as a whole in relation to the mission of the organization?
Office of Programs and Re-entry is an organization that focuses on leadership alongside rehabilitative programs ensuring better lives within the community. The organization is divided into four central departments that work together to achieve a common goal. The first department is the Bureau of program development which focuses on the various designs and implementation of risks and needs assessment tools. It also implements other processes and policies key to the restoration alongside rehabilitation of justice to the affected individual within the surrounding.
The second is the department Bureau of Education, which deals with academic and career issues, including technical education and library services (Bell et al., 2018). The third department is the Bureau of Substance Use Treatment which is helpful in dealing with services assisting in the transition period between incarceration and the return to society. The other department is the Bureau of Chaplaincy services dealing with spiritual matters on inmates and offenders. The last department is volunteering with the FDC to assist in a rewarding experience for the citizens. All the departments work together to achieve the organizational goal and mission in leadership and rehabilitation programs that assist the community. Every department has strict policies that make it possible to ensure that it helps the organization achieve its mission.
B. Describe your selected subdivision, and outline the specific goals and responsibilities of the subdivision, describing how they align with the overall mission of the agency. Consider how the goals of the selected subdivision align with the mission of the agency.
The correction officers have a specific function: protecting the community by leading and supervising offenders and reporting the individual who has failed to comply with the regulations to sentencing. Alongside the organizational mission, the correction subdivision has its designed mission. Its mission is to deliver effective service to the community by service diligently while collaborating with other agencies of the criminal justice community (Bell et al., 2018). As such, it serves the community without violating their rights. The detention department ensures people's safety within the community by protecting the surrounding society in various ways, such as establishing safe, secure, and human supervision. It also provides the confinement of inmates by making them follow the law without violation.
However, the subdivision is faced with challenges like the overpopulation of inmates. The inmates are flocked within the organization, thus posing a chall ...

Every organization aims at achieving a certain level of performance when it comes to the profitability of the organization. The sales force in any organization is very instrumental towards the performance of an organization as they help push the sales of an organization to the desired level. Organizations must see the value that the salespersons bring to the organization as this impacts the motivation and the productivity of the salespersons (Kuvaas et al., 2017). When a sales team feels that there is value to an organization then they become engaged in their work and perform well. Organizations can show that they value the salespersons by involving them in decision-making, paying them well, and also recognizing achievements.
Skill sets refer to the various abilities and abilities that an individual employee has that enable them to perform according to expectations in an organization. The skill sets vary from the type of sales employee; a salesperson needs more persuasion skills while a sales manager might need more communication skills and leadership skills (Kuczmarski & Kuczmarski, 2019). An organization can ensure that it has the right skill set by ensuring that the recruitment process is thorough and looks at the practical skills of employees as well.
Global sales refer to the sales that an organization makes outside the country where it is located. Global sales skills are important in ensuring that an organization can effectively penetrate an outside market. Global sales skills include understanding the cultural differences and the language of the target nation. A sales team needs to understand what is offensive in other nations such as gestures, body language so that they do not put off customers (Cuevas, 2018). The global sales skill needed by sales managers includes effective communication and an understanding of the trade regulations in different countries. They need to be able to contact customers remotely and manage sales teams in different locations.
The performance of any organization is important as it is an indicator of growth and progress in an organization. When it comes to the performance of employees it is directly related to the rewards system in an organization. Employees need to be motivated to put in extra work in the organization and the easiest way for an organization to motivate employees is to make them feel that they are appreciated and their efforts are recognized. Employees and particularly sales employees work in teams when the performance appraisal is done, it is important that the best-performed employees are rewarded (Asaari et al, 2019). When this is done the other members of the team will be inspired and motivated to increase productivity. An increase in the productivity of an employee translates to the performance of an organization in terms of sales and profitability.
Rewards are multidimensional and exist in different forms and categories in different organizations. The two broad categ ...

The What and Why of Budgeting
An Introduction
A BUDGET IS DEFINED as the formal expression of plans, goals, andobjectives of management that covers all aspects of operations for adesignated time period. The budget is a tool providing targets and
direction. Budgets provide control over the immediate environment, help to
master the financial aspects of the job and department, and solve problems
before they occur. Budgets focus on the importance of evaluating alternative
actions before decisions actually are implemented.
A budget is a financial plan to control future operations and results. It is
expressed in numbers, such as dollars, units, pounds, and hours. It is needed
to operate effectively and efficiently. Budgeting, when used effectively, is a
technique resulting in systematic, productive management. Budgeting
facilitates control and communication and also provides motivation to
employees.
Budgeting allocates funds to achieve desired outcomes. A budget may span
any period of time. It may be short-term (one year or less, which is usually the
case), intermediate (two to three years), or long-term (three years or more).
Short-term budgets provide greater detail and specifics. Intermediate budgets
examine the projects the company currently is undertaking and start the
programs necessary to achieve long-term objectives. Long-term plans are very

broad and may be translated into short-term plans. The budget period varies
according to its objectives, use, and the dependability of the data used to
prepare it. The budget period is contingent on business risk, sales and operating
stability, production methods, and length of the processing cycle.
There is a definite relationship between long-range planning and short-
term business plans. The ability to meet near-term budget goals will move the
business in the direction of accomplishing long-term objectives. Budgeting is
done for the company as a whole, as well as for its component segments,
including divisions, departments, products, projects, services, and geographic
areas. Budgets aid decision making, measurement, and coordination of the
efforts of the various groups within the entity. Budgets highlight the interaction
of each business segment with the whole organization. For example, budgets
are prepared for units within a department, such as product lines; for the
department itself; for the division, which consists of a number of departments;
and for the company.

Learning Objectives
This was my third semester at Westcliff University, and I explored a wide range of
helpful strategies and practical techniques that benefited my overall career and life balance.
For instance, the habit of professional journaling helps me release my stress and motivate
myself to keep on track towards my goal.
From week 3, I started to prepare the professional portfolio, and I felt it was an
excellent way to keep a record of my achievements and experiences. From week 5, the
interview exercise taken with the senior manager from my department, I have learned about
her personal experiences and know a little more about strategic leadership. Another valuable
material that I learned from this class is always to be prepared. Before I interview the senior
manager, I prepare additional questions to ask my supervisor and colleagues about my
performance. I was nervous during the interview, but these extra questions helped me come
down and make the conversion more smooth.
At the beginning of this semester, my goal was to improve my communication skills
in the workplace and learn how to be more flexible in dealing with incidents. From week six
course’s video, “I Wanna Be a Human Resources Officer - A Day in the Life of a Human
Resources Officer,” made me see some perspectives of the responsibility of a Human
Resources Officer and provided me some direction to improve my interpersonal skills. I
always find ways to improve my confidence when I communicate with people and learn how
to be an active listener.
Week seven’s video about “Internship Expectations vs. Realities- the Intern Queen”
makes me think about expectations and realities at the workplace. What expectation does the
employer look for, and how should I improve my performance regarding their expectation?

Additionally, through this semester, I realized different ways of conveying a message
could have other effects and impact communication effectiveness. During the internship, I
utilized the benefits of a supportive and positive environment.
Taking everything into account, I believe that I made significant progress towards my
goals, and I became more efficient and productive at work.
Internship Experiences
This semester I am considering switching to a new company that will allow me to
practice my professional skills in the area of individual and corporate taxes. Therefore, I
started my journey to submit job applications and prepare for an interview. Finding an
appropriate position that matches my interests and abilities is not an easy task. I felt frustrated
for the first few weeks when I did not get many responses. However, I record all my feelings
and things that I need to work on in my resume and cover letter in my journal. Additionally, I
love to write some inspirational and motivationa ...

A. What are the departments or subdivisions into which your selected organization is divided, and how do these subdivisions work together as a whole in relation to the mission of the organization?
Office of Programs and Re-entry is an organization that focuses on leadership alongside rehabilitative programs ensuring better lives within the community. The organization is divided into four central departments that work together to achieve a common goal. The first department is the Bureau of program development which focuses on the various designs and implementation of risks and needs assessment tools. It also implements other processes and policies key to the restoration alongside rehabilitation of justice to the affected individual within the surrounding.
The second is the department Bureau of Education, which deals with academic and career issues, including technical education and library services (Bell et al., 2018). The third department is the Bureau of Substance Use Treatment which is helpful in dealing with services assisting in the transition period between incarceration and the return to society. The other department is the Bureau of Chaplaincy services dealing with spiritual matters on inmates and offenders. The last department is volunteering with the FDC to assist in a rewarding experience for the citizens. All the departments work together to achieve the organizational goal and mission in leadership and rehabilitation programs that assist the community. Every department has strict policies that make it possible to ensure that it helps the organization achieve its mission.
B. Describe your selected subdivision, and outline the specific goals and responsibilities of the subdivision, describing how they align with the overall mission of the agency. Consider how the goals of the selected subdivision align with the mission of the agency.
The correction officers have a specific function: protecting the community by leading and supervising offenders and reporting the individual who has failed to comply with the regulations to sentencing. Alongside the organizational mission, the correction subdivision has its designed mission. Its mission is to deliver effective service to the community by service diligently while collaborating with other agencies of the criminal justice community (Bell et al., 2018). As such, it serves the community without violating their rights. The detention department ensures people's safety within the community by protecting the surrounding society in various ways, such as establishing safe, secure, and human supervision. It also provides the confinement of inmates by making them follow the law without violation.
However, the subdivision is faced with challenges like the overpopulation of inmates. The inmates are flocked within the organization, thus posing a chall ...

Every organization aims at achieving a certain level of performance when it comes to the profitability of the organization. The sales force in any organization is very instrumental towards the performance of an organization as they help push the sales of an organization to the desired level. Organizations must see the value that the salespersons bring to the organization as this impacts the motivation and the productivity of the salespersons (Kuvaas et al., 2017). When a sales team feels that there is value to an organization then they become engaged in their work and perform well. Organizations can show that they value the salespersons by involving them in decision-making, paying them well, and also recognizing achievements.
Skill sets refer to the various abilities and abilities that an individual employee has that enable them to perform according to expectations in an organization. The skill sets vary from the type of sales employee; a salesperson needs more persuasion skills while a sales manager might need more communication skills and leadership skills (Kuczmarski & Kuczmarski, 2019). An organization can ensure that it has the right skill set by ensuring that the recruitment process is thorough and looks at the practical skills of employees as well.
Global sales refer to the sales that an organization makes outside the country where it is located. Global sales skills are important in ensuring that an organization can effectively penetrate an outside market. Global sales skills include understanding the cultural differences and the language of the target nation. A sales team needs to understand what is offensive in other nations such as gestures, body language so that they do not put off customers (Cuevas, 2018). The global sales skill needed by sales managers includes effective communication and an understanding of the trade regulations in different countries. They need to be able to contact customers remotely and manage sales teams in different locations.
The performance of any organization is important as it is an indicator of growth and progress in an organization. When it comes to the performance of employees it is directly related to the rewards system in an organization. Employees need to be motivated to put in extra work in the organization and the easiest way for an organization to motivate employees is to make them feel that they are appreciated and their efforts are recognized. Employees and particularly sales employees work in teams when the performance appraisal is done, it is important that the best-performed employees are rewarded (Asaari et al, 2019). When this is done the other members of the team will be inspired and motivated to increase productivity. An increase in the productivity of an employee translates to the performance of an organization in terms of sales and profitability.
Rewards are multidimensional and exist in different forms and categories in different organizations. The two broad categ ...

The What and Why of Budgeting
An Introduction
A BUDGET IS DEFINED as the formal expression of plans, goals, andobjectives of management that covers all aspects of operations for adesignated time period. The budget is a tool providing targets and
direction. Budgets provide control over the immediate environment, help to
master the financial aspects of the job and department, and solve problems
before they occur. Budgets focus on the importance of evaluating alternative
actions before decisions actually are implemented.
A budget is a financial plan to control future operations and results. It is
expressed in numbers, such as dollars, units, pounds, and hours. It is needed
to operate effectively and efficiently. Budgeting, when used effectively, is a
technique resulting in systematic, productive management. Budgeting
facilitates control and communication and also provides motivation to
employees.
Budgeting allocates funds to achieve desired outcomes. A budget may span
any period of time. It may be short-term (one year or less, which is usually the
case), intermediate (two to three years), or long-term (three years or more).
Short-term budgets provide greater detail and specifics. Intermediate budgets
examine the projects the company currently is undertaking and start the
programs necessary to achieve long-term objectives. Long-term plans are very

broad and may be translated into short-term plans. The budget period varies
according to its objectives, use, and the dependability of the data used to
prepare it. The budget period is contingent on business risk, sales and operating
stability, production methods, and length of the processing cycle.
There is a definite relationship between long-range planning and short-
term business plans. The ability to meet near-term budget goals will move the
business in the direction of accomplishing long-term objectives. Budgeting is
done for the company as a whole, as well as for its component segments,
including divisions, departments, products, projects, services, and geographic
areas. Budgets aid decision making, measurement, and coordination of the
efforts of the various groups within the entity. Budgets highlight the interaction
of each business segment with the whole organization. For example, budgets
are prepared for units within a department, such as product lines; for the
department itself; for the division, which consists of a number of departments;
and for the company.

Child Development: Observation and Reflection
The observation data that I gathered and the process that I used to observe significantly informed my ability to conduct observations in the field. For instance, I learned the most important steps in observation such as familiarizing myself with the subjects and taking note of all the activities that take place since they are all useful in the final analysis. The observation data made me realize the value of being keen during field observations so that no detail is left out.
Some of the questions that emerged during the observation process about the children in the media are whether children have similar developmental capabilities and whether play can be used to rectify a child’s developmental delays. The overall experience of observing made me question teachers’ ability to understand all the unique aspects of child development and how they use them to create unique and engaging learning activities. I experienced the challenge of remaining objective since my personal feelings were consistently influenced by judgments and observations.
As I reflect on the observation process and the overall experience, the question that arises is how infants and young children can exhibit an interest in problem-solving yet their mental faculties have not fully developed. The question exposes the complexity of cognitive development in children since it reveals that children develop cognition from social, emotional, and perceptual experiences.
I would like to know the cognitive capabilities of the children I observed by having one on one sessions with them so that I could test their abilities. I believe that intelligence varies not only in adults but also in children an indication that a child’s developmental milestones are unique and different from that of another child. The only similarities are the age of occurrence for each developmental milestone.
The data that I obtained during my observations deepened my understanding of children’s development and learning. I realized that the developmental domains are interlinked since the development of one domain builds onto another domain. For instance, the development of the social and emotional domains contributes to the emergence of the cognitive domain. I realized that the domains do not operate in isolation but instead strengthen each other as the child develops. I also learned that the environment plays a significant role in a child’s development. For instance, when a child grows up i ...

It notes that while CBRN terrorism was not a major threat during this period, some terrorist groups did show interest in acquiring and using CBRN weapons. In the 1970s, there were a small number of incidents involving the use or acquisition of CBRN agents, mostly crude chemical or biological weapons. Debate emerged around terrorists' technical capabilities and motivations for CBRN use. In the 1980s, incidents slightly increased, including the first biological terrorism attack by the Rajneeshpuram Cult in 1984. However, CBRN terrorism was still not a

This document provides a summary of a global report on ageism published by the World Health Organization in 2021. The report finds that ageism is widespread, harmful, and under-recognized. It affects people's health, well-being, and human rights. The report examines the scale, impact, and determinants of ageism against both older and younger people. It also reviews evidence on strategies to prevent and respond to ageism, such as policies and laws, educational interventions, and intergenerational contact. The report recommends investing in evidence-based strategies, improving data and research, and changing public narratives around age and aging to build a more age-inclusive world.

My neighbor’s son is a seven-year-old child who has progressed to second grade and is
becoming less reliant on his parents. He is a bright and athletic child who can ride a bike, roller
skate, and play badminton and table tennis. The child is attentive and can read, recount stories,
and do puzzles with ease. He is physically fit, standing 3 feet 12 inches tall and weighing 24
pounds. The body of a child grows and changes as it prepares to become an adult (Papalia &
Martorell, 2018). Seven years is a remarkable age, especially for boys, because it marks the end
of the newborn years and the beginnings of adulthood. He is, nevertheless, going through a
seven-year crisis, a period of change in which the child gains a new perspective on the world. It
enables him to advance to the next stage of his growth. Both at home and on the playground, the
observation was made. This case study is based on observing and analyzing changes in a seven-
year-old boy's physical, psychosocial, emotional, and cognitive development.
The boy spends roughly an hour and a half every day on the playground. He interacts
with the kids, runs with them, jumps, plays the ball, and hangs from the crossbar. The muscles of
the legs, arms, chest, and back are all actively developed, according to the findings. He grows
tough and robust, and he can walk for several kilometers. He can change the speed of his
movement by running slowly or swiftly. He can hop over minor barriers and shift direction
without slowing down while in motion. He can jump forward, up, to the sides, and over tiny
obstacles on one foot. He climbs up and down the stairwell and the rope ladder with ease. The
child has no developmental limitations and can readily hang from the crossbar. He also has no
trouble socializing and communicating with his classmates and other youngsters on the
playground.
Observing him on the playground, it is apparent that the child has reached a high degree
of physical development. He develops strength, endurance, and dexterity needs constant

Privacy Issues in Multi-Tenant Cloud Computing
Chapter Two: Literature Review
Introduction
A multitenant cloud is a cloud computing architecture that allows customers to share computing resources in a public or private cloud. Multitenant involves different cloud computing clients using or transferring a single computing infrastructure. This arrangement exposes the clients who have agreed to various privacy issues relating to their data and information stored in the cloud (Al-Ruithe et al., 2018). Evidence indicates that some of the privacy issues involved in multitenant cloud computing include data leakage, data breach, and exposure of the private data relating to clients involved in the agreement. As the number of people using cloud computing balloon, privacy issues are becoming a significant problem for many consumers who use the same cloud computing architecture in a private or public setting. It is essential to define what multitenant cloud entails before developing a clear concept or problem that can be investigated. According to Park et al. (2018), "A multitenant cloud is a cloud computing architecture that allows customers to share computing resources in a public or private cloud" (Park et al., 2018). Each tenant's data must be isolated in this cloud computing arrangement and cannot be accessed or seen by the partner tenant. However, the recent growth in technology has made data privacy in cloud computing challenges, posing a big problem to cloud computing providers.
The theoretical foundation for the current privacy issues in multitenant cloud computing is drawn from the study done by Park et al. (2018). According to Park et al. (2018), the most significant privacy issue in multitenant cloud computing is the lack of configurability. Configurability poses a colossal privacy issue in this infrastructure because the tenants have to share the same configuration. However, there is little evidence to provide this theory, and this study will play a significant role in contributing to this theoretical framework (Meng et al., 2021). The purpose of the current study is to investigate privacy and confidentiality issues in multi-tenancy cloud computing. Specifically, in this chapter, studies that have been done in the last five years focusing on this topic will be reviewed through a professional literature review.
Chapter Outline
The current chapter will be structured using headings and subheadings to ensure that each aspect is captured during the literature review. The study will be structured in 12 different sections, of which some may have sub-sections. The twelve sections in the current chapter will include introduction, chapter outline, search strategy, introduction to cloud computing, multi-tenancy cloud computing, and cloud computing deployment models. The other sections will consist of cloud computing service models, ...

Introduction
CHINA is an ancient country that has one of the oldest civilizations on earth. Its written history is almost 4,000 years old, and throughout much of its existence, its cultural traditions have had a profound impact on the entire East Asian region. China occupies much of the mainland of East Asia and shares land borders with 14 countries (Afghanistan, Bhutan, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Vietnam). With a geographical area of about 3.7 million square miles, China is slightly larger than the United States (see Figure 6.1). Among the countries of the world, only Russia and Canada are larger in area. Unlike the United States, where almost 20 percent of the land is utilized for agriculture, China cultivates around 10 percent of its land on a permanent basis.
Because of rugged and inhospitable geographical conditions, particularly in the western regions, large areas of China are uninhabited. As a result, approximately two-thirds of the population live along the east coast, which represents about one-fifth of the land. China has long held the distinction of having the world’s largest population at more than 1.3 billion. This figure is greater than the combined populations of Europe, Russia, and the United States. More than 91 percent of the people belong to the Han ethnic group. All of the other ethnic minorities represent less than 1 percent of the population, with the exception of the Zhuang minority at 1.3 percent of the total population.
Approximately 31 percent of the labor force is employed in agriculture and forestry, with industrial and service ventures employing 30 and 36 percent, respectively. Iron, steel, and textiles are among the more prominent industries. In 1978, Chinese leaders initiated a program to modernize agriculture, industry, science and technology, and national defense. Their goal was to achieve a fairly advanced industrialized country by the year 2000. This program was prompted, in part, by the fact that the standard of living had been in a considerable state of decline since the 1950s.
Throughout China’s more recent political history under communism, the state essentially owned the industrial enterprises and commercial ventures of the country. Because people were guaranteed life-long employment, concerns about workforce productivity had been negl ...

Introduction
THE LONGEST-RUNNING social science experiment of the twentieth century officially ended on December 25, 1991, with the resignation of Mikhail Gorbachev as president of the Soviet Union. From the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 until Gorbachev’s resignation, the rulers of the Soviet Union had attempted to create a communist society that would be the envy of the world. Support for this goal was continual for more than 70 years, but the sense of purpose and direction began to unravel during the late 1980s. The principal cause for this shift in opinion was Gorbachev’s alternative rationale for achieving socialism. Although his ideas were a radical departure from some of the basic tenets of Leninism, Gorbachev generally favored implementing them incrementally. Nevertheless, disaffection with these ideas became quite pronounced among devoted communists, which led to the attempted coup of August 1991. This was followed by Gorbachev’s resignation and the formal dissolution of the country by year’s end.
The Soviet Union had been composed of 15 republics: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Byelorussia, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kirghizistan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldavia, Russia, Tadzhikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan. Russia was not only the largest republic in terms of territory and population, but it also dominated the policies of the Soviet Union—so much so that the words Russian and Soviet were often used interchangeably when referring to the foreign and domestic policies of the Soviet Union. Today, Russia is the largest country in the world, almost twice the size of the United States. It encompasses more than 6.5 million square miles that stretch from Eastern Europe through the northern half of Asia. The population of about 139 million has become more urban over the past 50 years. In fact, it has reached about 80 percent of the population— almost an exact reversal of the urban and rural ratio at the time of the 1917 Revolution (see Figure 5.1).
Russia is a federation consisting of six categories of administrative units. These include 21 republics, nine territories, 46 provinces, two federal cities, one autonomous republic, and four autonomous regions. Among these administrative units, the republics have the greatest claim to self-government. Although Russians comprise more than 80 percent of the country’s population, there are some 126 national ...

Introduction
SOUTH AFRICA encompasses the southern tip of the African continent. It is the ninth largest country on the continent and the thirty-third largest in the world. Its northern border is shared with Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Swaziland. Its coastline borders the Indian Ocean on the east and south and the Atlantic Ocean on the west. In addition, South Africa surrounds the small country of Lesotho, which is approximately the size of the state of Maryland. Lesotho is a constitutional monarchy that gained its independence from the United Kingdom in 1966 (see Figure 4.1).
The population of South Africa is almost 53 million and consists of 79.5 percent black, 9 percent white, 9 percent “colored,” and 2.5 percent Asian or Indian residents. The use of the word “colored” in the South African context refers to people of mixed race and often is associated with people of African and Dutch ancestry. The principal industries of the country are minerals, mining, motor vehicles, and machinery. South Africa is a significant producer of platinum, manganese, gold, and chrome. Its major trading markets include China, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
South Africa has 11 official languages: Afrikaans, English, isiNdebele, isiXhosa, isiZulu, Sepedi, Sesotho, Setswana, siSwati, Tshivenda, and Xitsonga. With the exception of Afrikaans and English, the other languages are all Bantu languages. Bantu languages are spoken by more than 100 million Africans in east, central, and southern Africa. Afrikaans is a seventeenth-century variation of Dutch that has been considered a distinct language since the nineteenth century. Approximately 7 percent of the South African population are Afrikaners, that is, people who trace their roots to the early Dutch, French, and German settlers. Most of the English spoken is by nonwhites, along with approximately 2 million English-speaking whites who trace their ancestors to British immigrants and to the 1 million people of Asian/Indian origins.
Throughout the second half of the twentieth century South Africa was associated most with its policy of apartheid, a white supremacist ideology that emphasized white domination and racial discrimination. More will be said about apartheid shortly. First, an outline is offered of the arrival of white Europeans to this part of Africa and the pre-apartheid policies of racial segregation that had been introduced and in practice for a num ...

Chapter 3: JAPAN
Introduction
JAPAN is an island country located off the eastern coast of the Eurasian continent. It is generally considered a small country, in part because its geographical proximity to China and Russia dwarfs its size. However, compared to western European countries, Japan’s 145,902 square miles make it larger than England or Italy. In terms of the United States, it is slightly smaller than the state of California (see Figure 3.1). Japan’s population of 126.5 million is more than twice that found in England, and they are among the world’s most literate people. It is also interesting to note that Japan’s population is growing older faster than any other country in the world. This fact raises a host of economic and social issues for the country’s future. Because the terrain is very mountainous and the habitable land limited, Japan is one of the most densely populated regions in the world.
Although the climate is conducive to farming, less than 15 percent of the land is fertile enough for agriculture. Fishing has long been a significant source of income, but the attention Japan receives regarding its economy generally centers on its industrial production. Before the middle of the nineteenth century, Japan was one of the most isolated countries in the world, and this insular position was by design. The political leadership realized, however, that it could no longer maintain that posture completely. As a result, the leaders made a conscious decision to industrialize. Although the country is not rich in mineral deposits, Japan has emerged as an industrial giant since World War II. Japan is unique in that it is the only non-Western country that has become completely industrialized, exporting a wide range of products that include motor vehicles, electronic equipment, and mechanical tools.
Like the Scandinavians, the Japanese have remained one of the most homogenous of the advanced peoples in the world. More than 98 percent of the population is Japanese, and the largest minority group is Korean. The Japanese have a common history, language, and race. The dominant religions are Shintoism and Buddhism, but these are viewed more as features of Japanese custom than as beliefs that attract devoted followers. It has been estimated that between 70 and 80 percent of the people do not practice any religion. The homogenous qualities of the Japanese are enhanced further by their insular society and entrepreneurial spirit. This may appear somewhat contradictory from a Western perspective, but it is an example of a curious blending of the country’s traditions with modern pragmatism.
The Japanese recognized the value of expanding their trade routes and introducing industrialization to an economy that for centuries had been based on feudal principles. Because of their commitment to this change, the Japanese are recognized today for a competitive spirit that had long been associated with capitalist countries in the West. However, it is a group ...

CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION
Introduction to the Problem
In America, increasingly students are graduating from high school than ever before.
According to the Insider (2019), last yeast about 85% of the country's graduating class walked
across the stage and received their high school. As the graduation rate increases nationwide, we
are also witnessing a surge in schools' enrollment around the country. The vast graduation rate is
generally a positive development for our country's educational system, but it does provide some
consequences, particularly overcrowded classrooms and a shortage of educators. Due to the
congestion in classrooms, the future of academic excellence is endangered as the focus shifts to
the number of graduates from a class rather than the quality of education. In a report from
Learning Policy Institute, the educator shortage crisis is present, and it will get worst, and the
educator occupation is at its lowest point in 20years (Floyd, 2019). With the predicted lousy
situation, it is crucial to assess this overcrowded class issue to provide solutions and
recommendations to the government on ways to enhance resilience and resolving the issue in the
long-term plans. Overcrowding in schools has become major fretfulness in our educational
system, compelling most states to take legislative action to limit the number of students per
classroom.
Notably, the Florida citizens approved an amendment to the Titled Chapter 2003-391,
Laws of Florida, requiring a reduction in the number of students by at least two students per year
beginning in the 2003-04 school year until the maximum number of students per classroom did
not exceed the requirements in law (Class Size, n.d.). A qualitative survey will be an essential
tool for this study to collect data and insights on the experiences with the crowded classrooms to
understand the crisis deeply. Besides, a qualitative survey will help account for the educators'

Introduction
In recent studies, big data is becoming a more appealing research subject in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), as shown by the fact that it is employed in various projects worldwide. The enormous volumes of data produced will have significant ramifications for the design and implementation of intelligent transportation systems and in turn the need to make it safer, more efficient, and profitable. Intelligent transportation systems will create a large amount of data, which will be used to make transportation-related decisions (Darwish & Bakar, 2018). The first section of this chapter is dedicated to a detailed research of the history and characteristics of big data, intelligent transportation systems and Cyber security combined. This chapter will also cover the ITS framework, data collection and management techniques, data analytics methodologies, ITS platforms, examples of Big data and importance of Big Data and ITS in many other industries. A wide range of topics, including road traffic accident analysis, road traffic flow prediction, public transportation service planning, personal travel route planning, public safety, commercial vehicles control systems, and more, are covered in this chapter of big data applications in intelligent transportation systems (Darwish & Bakar, 2018). Finally, this chapter discusses some of the problems and gaps that still need to be researched regarding big data in Intelligent Transportation Systems in Automobiles on cyber security vulnerabilities.
According to a research done by Transportation Research Board, the growing use of Big Data in large-scale Internet-of-Vehicles deployments has opened the door to previously imagined possibilities for unified transportation se ...

Changes of Organizations
Introduction
Organizational changes and reengineering are as old as organizations' existence and even referenced in the bible. The story of Moses and his father-in-law (King James Bible, 1769/2017, Exodus 18:13-27) discussing the people's judgment is an example of how delegation of authority can be implemented and handed down to others to complete the same judgment that Moses was employed and responsible for. It is equivalent to organizational leadership delegating authority to make decisions and effect changes with the limited risk involved. It is one of the first examples of a loosely coupled system. A loosely coupled system reduces the risk that a change made within one element will create unanticipated changes within other elements (Tech Target, 2011). Today, organizational changes have several factors of consideration by an organization to reduce the risk associated with decisions to implement changes. Those factors include the organizational structure, the current strategy, and the environmental impact on the market and industry.
The Covid-19 pandemic that hit the world stage in early 2020 is a prime example of recent changes that affect the changes that impact organizational operations today. The changes included a teleworking environment where employees considered non-essential to the traditional in-person approach could work using technology platforms to communicate and remain productive at a safe distance, not infecting or becoming infected by a deadly virus. Like anything encountered in life that is not ideal, knowing that God has a plan already in place for us and digging deep to persevere for a better day is essential to come out victorious on the other side. Merida, Platt, and Akin (2015) say “we should be reminded of the grace of God, who brings refreshing fall-like seasons in our life (Merida, Platt, & Akin, 2015, p.277).”
Remote Workforce
An emerging switch in how organizations had to adapt and rapidly respond to a change to the working environment that affected millions around the globe was a remote working environment to continue operations. Something considered impossible became a welcomed necessity to continue operations and maintain the same level of service and production as before the pandemic hit. The rise in how many organizations embraced and executed a telework posture almost quadrupled.
Early estimates suggested that, due to the pandemic, approximately 50% of the European workforce worked remotely compared with 12% prior to the pandemic (Ahrendt, Cabrita, Clerici, Hurley, & Leončikas, 2020). Private sector organizations were moving toward telework as an option to continue operations, and the public sectors were as well. The Department of Defense (DoD) identified non-essential or non-cr ...

Change Proposal Summary Report
One of the clinical conditions affecting numerous people globally is diabetes. Around 35
million people in the United States are diagnosed with diabetes annually. Based on the world
statistics, diabetes pervasiveness has increased promptly among people of low and middle
incomes. Accordingly, people living in countries such as India and China have the highest
prevalence of diabetes. Globally, approximately 5.0 million deaths resulted from diabetes and
diabetes-related disorders. Again, the countries spend billions of dollars on health expenditures for
diabetic patients and other approaches to minimize its prevalence through education and other
evidence-based practices. Besides, more than 400 million people globally are likely to develop
type 2 diabetes mellitus. The executive summary will describe some of the challenges facing
healthcare, such as type 2 diabetes, and ideal strategies and measures to mitigate such health issues.
Executive Summary
Proposed Change
Globally, type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic health issue affecting numerous people.
From statistics, persons diagnosed with the disease have increased significantly in the past few
decades. The Center for Disease Control has pointed out a high incidence of type 2 diabetes
mellitus among children, the elderly, and teenagers (Mayer-Davis et al., 2017). Some of the risk
factors aligned with diabetes mellitus encompass behavioral practices, lifestyle, and genetics. A
proposed change to lessen the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus entails implementing
programs including the Lifestyle Change Program and Diabetes Management Education and
Support (DMES). Such a proposed change will play a central role in raising awareness and giving
people critical information regarding type 2 diabetes, its prevention, and management (Munshi et
al., 2016). From contemporary clinical studies, recognizing diabetes risk factors early is crucial in

preventing and managing chronic disorders (American Diabetes Association, 2016). Efficient
therapy might prevent or precisely delay diabetic complications. Thus, the DMES program
educates people regarding diabetes, preventive, and management strategies to improve their
lifestyle and behavioral practices.
Desired Outcomes
There is a need to boost awareness of various risk factors aligned with type 2 diabetes
mellitus. Many people will understand the risk factors contributing to the clinical disorder and
various measures or strategies to reduce its prevalence through the proposed programs ...

Case Study Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic Fibrosis: Case Study
The patient is a 7-year-old female. Due to the fact that the patient is a minor, her mother walked into the ER with her. The mother explained that her symptoms consist of persistent coughing throughout the day and it becomes worse at night, the coughing often results in spitting out phlegm. Along with wheezing, stuffy nose, loss of appetite, pain in the abdomen, and the taste of salty skin. The patient has been up coughing and complaining about the pain for 5 hours. Since the patient’s mother had thought it was a regular cold, she had been giving her children’s Tylenol for the past 3 days, 5 mL every 4 hours. Once the patient was taken in, a physical assessment was performed. The questions that were asked to the patients mother were about family history of CF, history of bowel obstruction as an infant, stool, and eating habits (nurses labs 2018). Because of the fact that the patient’s mom mentioned her skin having a salty taste, a sweat test has been recommended to check for cystic fibrosis. The sweat test measures the amount of chloride in sweat while the genetic test detects chromosomal mutations (Very Well Health 2019). Patient has now been diagnosed with cystic fibrous and will be admitted to the hospital for further instructions.
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of cystic fibrosis is based on the defects in the cystic fibrosis gene, which codes for protein transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) that functions as a chloride channel and is regulated by cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) (Nurselabs 2018). Cystic fibrosis is often caught at birth but there are cases where people begin to develop it later in life. If it is detected as birth, many persons with cystic fibrosis acquire a lung infection which incites an inflammatory response, the infection becomes established with a distinctive bacterial flora (Nurselabs 2018). If there is a case of a person developing cystic fibrosis as they get older, there are many symptoms that come along with it and it does affect many parts of your body. It can affect your GI tract, pancreas and your sweat glands which causes the skin to taste salt like. Symptoms may include pain in the abdomen, having a chronic cough that may include blood or phlegm, any gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhea, fat in the stool, heartburn, severe constipation, or bulky stools. When it affects your respiratory system, it can cause pulmonary hypertension, shortness of breath, sinusitis, wheezing, acute bronchitis, and/or pneumonia. There might also be a delay in puberty, growth, and in development. Other commons side effects include deformity of nails, different infections, male infertility, nasal polyps or weight loss (Mayo Clinic 2020).

Various advances of conducting empirical knowledge on communication arise through literature review synthesizing a significant number of studies into substantive view. A literature review involves different forms where the most familiar is a review conducted within a specific study—a research report after thorough search proceeds from reviewing earlier related work.
Whether one is a doctoral graduate or a student currently, conducting and carrying out research is considered an essential part of becoming a scholar-practitioner accustomed to credibility and skills of effecting social changes. However, these processes face various challenges. Such approaches have no relevance or contain poor evidence, lack of reliability of transparency, and biases from the selection. However, the above challenges are caused by failure to select the right topic, failure to find the appropriate methodology, and dealing with individual data.
Lack of reliability towards transparency is a challenge faced when conducting research. One must select an appropriate topic since it is the foundation of your research paper. Likewise, mindfulness and enthusiasm are absent for the strategies expected to guarantee precise audits are as liberated from predisposition and as solid as could be expected: shown by later, defective, prominent surveys. We approach survey creators to lead more thorough audits, on editors and companion commentators to door keep all the more rigorously, and the local area of methodologists to all the more likely help the more extensive exploration local area. Exclusively by cooperating would we be able to fabricate and keep a solid arrangement of thorough, proof educated dynamic in protection and natural administration (Neal, 2020). Therefore, individuals should ensure that they select a doable topic, read and research the topic create a theoretical basis that helps and supports the topic (Neal, 2020). It is also significant to select a topic that answers all

your interests by focusing on a niche that can help you make a significant difference. Also, try to capture all opportunities that can help you picking expert brains.
The challenge on poor relevance and evidence results from the selection of appropriate methodologies. A methodology is a specific procedure that helps individuals in conducting their research as a path to moving forward. Ensure that you are completely honest with the abilities while honing the study design. After deciding on whether you are adopting a qualitative and quantitative direction, ensure you focus further on the methodology details. This starts from the sources of data collection being variable while consulting different researchers. This will create honesty about one's abilities and get open to bringing a research team to develop your analysis. The best way to ...

Child Development: Observation and Reflection
The observation data that I gathered and the process that I used to observe significantly informed my ability to conduct observations in the field. For instance, I learned the most important steps in observation such as familiarizing myself with the subjects and taking note of all the activities that take place since they are all useful in the final analysis. The observation data made me realize the value of being keen during field observations so that no detail is left out.
Some of the questions that emerged during the observation process about the children in the media are whether children have similar developmental capabilities and whether play can be used to rectify a child’s developmental delays. The overall experience of observing made me question teachers’ ability to understand all the unique aspects of child development and how they use them to create unique and engaging learning activities. I experienced the challenge of remaining objective since my personal feelings were consistently influenced by judgments and observations.
As I reflect on the observation process and the overall experience, the question that arises is how infants and young children can exhibit an interest in problem-solving yet their mental faculties have not fully developed. The question exposes the complexity of cognitive development in children since it reveals that children develop cognition from social, emotional, and perceptual experiences.
I would like to know the cognitive capabilities of the children I observed by having one on one sessions with them so that I could test their abilities. I believe that intelligence varies not only in adults but also in children an indication that a child’s developmental milestones are unique and different from that of another child. The only similarities are the age of occurrence for each developmental milestone.
The data that I obtained during my observations deepened my understanding of children’s development and learning. I realized that the developmental domains are interlinked since the development of one domain builds onto another domain. For instance, the development of the social and emotional domains contributes to the emergence of the cognitive domain. I realized that the domains do not operate in isolation but instead strengthen each other as the child develops. I also learned that the environment plays a significant role in a child’s development. For instance, when a child grows up i ...

It notes that while CBRN terrorism was not a major threat during this period, some terrorist groups did show interest in acquiring and using CBRN weapons. In the 1970s, there were a small number of incidents involving the use or acquisition of CBRN agents, mostly crude chemical or biological weapons. Debate emerged around terrorists' technical capabilities and motivations for CBRN use. In the 1980s, incidents slightly increased, including the first biological terrorism attack by the Rajneeshpuram Cult in 1984. However, CBRN terrorism was still not a

My neighbor’s son is a seven-year-old child who has progressed to second grade and is
becoming less reliant on his parents. He is a bright and athletic child who can ride a bike, roller
skate, and play badminton and table tennis. The child is attentive and can read, recount stories,
and do puzzles with ease. He is physically fit, standing 3 feet 12 inches tall and weighing 24
pounds. The body of a child grows and changes as it prepares to become an adult (Papalia &
Martorell, 2018). Seven years is a remarkable age, especially for boys, because it marks the end
of the newborn years and the beginnings of adulthood. He is, nevertheless, going through a
seven-year crisis, a period of change in which the child gains a new perspective on the world. It
enables him to advance to the next stage of his growth. Both at home and on the playground, the
observation was made. This case study is based on observing and analyzing changes in a seven-
year-old boy's physical, psychosocial, emotional, and cognitive development.
The boy spends roughly an hour and a half every day on the playground. He interacts
with the kids, runs with them, jumps, plays the ball, and hangs from the crossbar. The muscles of
the legs, arms, chest, and back are all actively developed, according to the findings. He grows
tough and robust, and he can walk for several kilometers. He can change the speed of his
movement by running slowly or swiftly. He can hop over minor barriers and shift direction

Privacy Issues in Multi-Tenant Cloud Computing
Chapter Two: Literature Review
Introduction
A multitenant cloud is a cloud computing architecture that allows customers to share computing resources in a public or private cloud. Multitenant involves different cloud computing clients using or transferring a single computing infrastructure. This arrangement exposes the clients who have agreed to various privacy issues relating to their data and information stored in the cloud (Al-Ruithe et al., 2018). Evidence indicates that some of the privacy issues involved in multitenant cloud computing include data leakage, data breach, and exposure of the private data relating to clients involved in the agreement. As the number of people using cloud computing balloon, privacy issues are becoming a significant problem for many consumers who use the same cloud computing architecture in a private or public setting. It is essential to define what multitenant cloud entails before developing a clear concept or problem that can be investigated. According to Park et al. (2018), "A multitenant cloud is a cloud computing architecture that allows customers to share computing resources in a public or private cloud" (Park et al., 2018). Each tenant's data must be isolated in this cloud computing arrangement and cannot be accessed or seen by the partner tenant. However, the recent growth in technology has made data privacy in cloud computing challenges, posing a big problem to cloud computing providers.
The theoretical foundation for the current privacy issues in multitenant cloud computing is drawn from the study done by Park et al. (2018). According to Park et al. (2018), the most significant privacy issue in multitenant cloud computing is the lack of configurability. Configurability poses a colossal privacy issue in this infrastructure because the tenants have to share the same configuration. However, there is little evidence to provide this theory, and this study will play a significant role in contributing to this theoretical framework (Meng et al., 2021). The purpose of the current study is to investigate privacy and confidentiality issues in multi-tenancy cloud computing. Specifically, in this chapter, studies that have been done in the last five years focusing on this topic will be reviewed through a professional literature review.
Chapter Outline
The current chapter will be structured using headings and subheadings to ensure that each aspect is captured during the literature review. The study will be structured in 12 different sections, of which some may have sub-sections. The twelve sections in the current chapter will include introduction, chapter outline, search strategy, introduction to cloud computing, multi-tenancy cloud computing, and cloud computing deployment models. The other sections will consist of cloud computing service models, ...

Introduction
CHINA is an ancient country that has one of the oldest civilizations on earth. Its written history is almost 4,000 years old, and throughout much of its existence, its cultural traditions have had a profound impact on the entire East Asian region. China occupies much of the mainland of East Asia and shares land borders with 14 countries (Afghanistan, Bhutan, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Vietnam). With a geographical area of about 3.7 million square miles, China is slightly larger than the United States (see Figure 6.1). Among the countries of the world, only Russia and Canada are larger in area. Unlike the United States, where almost 20 percent of the land is utilized for agriculture, China cultivates around 10 percent of its land on a permanent basis.
Because of rugged and inhospitable geographical conditions, particularly in the western regions, large areas of China are uninhabited. As a result, approximately two-thirds of the population live along the east coast, which represents about one-fifth of the land. China has long held the distinction of having the world’s largest population at more than 1.3 billion. This figure is greater than the combined populations of Europe, Russia, and the United States. More than 91 percent of the people belong to the Han ethnic group. All of the other ethnic minorities represent less than 1 percent of the population, with the exception of the Zhuang minority at 1.3 percent of the total population.
Approximately 31 percent of the labor force is employed in agriculture and forestry, with industrial and service ventures employing 30 and 36 percent, respectively. Iron, steel, and textiles are among the more prominent industries. In 1978, Chinese leaders initiated a program to modernize agriculture, industry, science and technology, and national defense. Their goal was to achieve a fairly advanced industrialized country by the year 2000. This program was prompted, in part, by the fact that the standard of living had been in a considerable state of decline since the 1950s.
Throughout China’s more recent political history under communism, the state essentially owned the industrial enterprises and commercial ventures of the country. Because people were guaranteed life-long employment, concerns about workforce productivity had been negl ...

Introduction
THE LONGEST-RUNNING social science experiment of the twentieth century officially ended on December 25, 1991, with the resignation of Mikhail Gorbachev as president of the Soviet Union. From the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 until Gorbachev’s resignation, the rulers of the Soviet Union had attempted to create a communist society that would be the envy of the world. Support for this goal was continual for more than 70 years, but the sense of purpose and direction began to unravel during the late 1980s. The principal cause for this shift in opinion was Gorbachev’s alternative rationale for achieving socialism. Although his ideas were a radical departure from some of the basic tenets of Leninism, Gorbachev generally favored implementing them incrementally. Nevertheless, disaffection with these ideas became quite pronounced among devoted communists, which led to the attempted coup of August 1991. This was followed by Gorbachev’s resignation and the formal dissolution of the country by year’s end.
The Soviet Union had been composed of 15 republics: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Byelorussia, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kirghizistan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldavia, Russia, Tadzhikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan. Russia was not only the largest republic in terms of territory and population, but it also dominated the policies of the Soviet Union—so much so that the words Russian and Soviet were often used interchangeably when referring to the foreign and domestic policies of the Soviet Union. Today, Russia is the largest country in the world, almost twice the size of the United States. It encompasses more than 6.5 million square miles that stretch from Eastern Europe through the northern half of Asia. The population of about 139 million has become more urban over the past 50 years. In fact, it has reached about 80 percent of the population— almost an exact reversal of the urban and rural ratio at the time of the 1917 Revolution (see Figure 5.1).
Russia is a federation consisting of six categories of administrative units. These include 21 republics, nine territories, 46 provinces, two federal cities, one autonomous republic, and four autonomous regions. Among these administrative units, the republics have the greatest claim to self-government. Although Russians comprise more than 80 percent of the country’s population, there are some 126 national ...

Introduction
SOUTH AFRICA encompasses the southern tip of the African continent. It is the ninth largest country on the continent and the thirty-third largest in the world. Its northern border is shared with Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Swaziland. Its coastline borders the Indian Ocean on the east and south and the Atlantic Ocean on the west. In addition, South Africa surrounds the small country of Lesotho, which is approximately the size of the state of Maryland. Lesotho is a constitutional monarchy that gained its independence from the United Kingdom in 1966 (see Figure 4.1).
The population of South Africa is almost 53 million and consists of 79.5 percent black, 9 percent white, 9 percent “colored,” and 2.5 percent Asian or Indian residents. The use of the word “colored” in the South African context refers to people of mixed race and often is associated with people of African and Dutch ancestry. The principal industries of the country are minerals, mining, motor vehicles, and machinery. South Africa is a significant producer of platinum, manganese, gold, and chrome. Its major trading markets include China, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
South Africa has 11 official languages: Afrikaans, English, isiNdebele, isiXhosa, isiZulu, Sepedi, Sesotho, Setswana, siSwati, Tshivenda, and Xitsonga. With the exception of Afrikaans and English, the other languages are all Bantu languages. Bantu languages are spoken by more than 100 million Africans in east, central, and southern Africa. Afrikaans is a seventeenth-century variation of Dutch that has been considered a distinct language since the nineteenth century. Approximately 7 percent of the South African population are Afrikaners, that is, people who trace their roots to the early Dutch, French, and German settlers. Most of the English spoken is by nonwhites, along with approximately 2 million English-speaking whites who trace their ancestors to British immigrants and to the 1 million people of Asian/Indian origins.
Throughout the second half of the twentieth century South Africa was associated most with its policy of apartheid, a white supremacist ideology that emphasized white domination and racial discrimination. More will be said about apartheid shortly. First, an outline is offered of the arrival of white Europeans to this part of Africa and the pre-apartheid policies of racial segregation that had been introduced and in practice for a num ...

Chapter 3: JAPAN
Introduction
JAPAN is an island country located off the eastern coast of the Eurasian continent. It is generally considered a small country, in part because its geographical proximity to China and Russia dwarfs its size. However, compared to western European countries, Japan’s 145,902 square miles make it larger than England or Italy. In terms of the United States, it is slightly smaller than the state of California (see Figure 3.1). Japan’s population of 126.5 million is more than twice that found in England, and they are among the world’s most literate people. It is also interesting to note that Japan’s population is growing older faster than any other country in the world. This fact raises a host of economic and social issues for the country’s future. Because the terrain is very mountainous and the habitable land limited, Japan is one of the most densely populated regions in the world.
Although the climate is conducive to farming, less than 15 percent of the land is fertile enough for agriculture. Fishing has long been a significant source of income, but the attention Japan receives regarding its economy generally centers on its industrial production. Before the middle of the nineteenth century, Japan was one of the most isolated countries in the world, and this insular position was by design. The political leadership realized, however, that it could no longer maintain that posture completely. As a result, the leaders made a conscious decision to industrialize. Although the country is not rich in mineral deposits, Japan has emerged as an industrial giant since World War II. Japan is unique in that it is the only non-Western country that has become completely industrialized, exporting a wide range of products that include motor vehicles, electronic equipment, and mechanical tools.
Like the Scandinavians, the Japanese have remained one of the most homogenous of the advanced peoples in the world. More than 98 percent of the population is Japanese, and the largest minority group is Korean. The Japanese have a common history, language, and race. The dominant religions are Shintoism and Buddhism, but these are viewed more as features of Japanese custom than as beliefs that attract devoted followers. It has been estimated that between 70 and 80 percent of the people do not practice any religion. The homogenous qualities of the Japanese are enhanced further by their insular society and entrepreneurial spirit. This may appear somewhat contradictory from a Western perspective, but it is an example of a curious blending of the country’s traditions with modern pragmatism.
The Japanese recognized the value of expanding their trade routes and introducing industrialization to an economy that for centuries had been based on feudal principles. Because of their commitment to this change, the Japanese are recognized today for a competitive spirit that had long been associated with capitalist countries in the West. However, it is a group ...

CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION
Introduction to the Problem
In America, increasingly students are graduating from high school than ever before.
According to the Insider (2019), last yeast about 85% of the country's graduating class walked
across the stage and received their high school. As the graduation rate increases nationwide, we
are also witnessing a surge in schools' enrollment around the country. The vast graduation rate is
generally a positive development for our country's educational system, but it does provide some
consequences, particularly overcrowded classrooms and a shortage of educators. Due to the
congestion in classrooms, the future of academic excellence is endangered as the focus shifts to
the number of graduates from a class rather than the quality of education. In a report from
Learning Policy Institute, the educator shortage crisis is present, and it will get worst, and the
educator occupation is at its lowest point in 20years (Floyd, 2019). With the predicted lousy
situation, it is crucial to assess this overcrowded class issue to provide solutions and
recommendations to the government on ways to enhance resilience and resolving the issue in the
long-term plans. Overcrowding in schools has become major fretfulness in our educational
system, compelling most states to take legislative action to limit the number of students per
classroom.
Notably, the Florida citizens approved an amendment to the Titled Chapter 2003-391,
Laws of Florida, requiring a reduction in the number of students by at least two students per year
beginning in the 2003-04 school year until the maximum number of students per classroom did
not exceed the requirements in law (Class Size, n.d.). A qualitative survey will be an essential
tool for this study to collect data and insights on the experiences with the crowded classrooms to
understand the crisis deeply. Besides, a qualitative survey will help account for the educators'

Introduction
In recent studies, big data is becoming a more appealing research subject in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), as shown by the fact that it is employed in various projects worldwide. The enormous volumes of data produced will have significant ramifications for the design and implementation of intelligent transportation systems and in turn the need to make it safer, more efficient, and profitable. Intelligent transportation systems will create a large amount of data, which will be used to make transportation-related decisions (Darwish & Bakar, 2018). The first section of this chapter is dedicated to a detailed research of the history and characteristics of big data, intelligent transportation systems and Cyber security combined. This chapter will also cover the ITS framework, data collection and management techniques, data analytics methodologies, ITS platforms, examples of Big data and importance of Big Data and ITS in many other industries. A wide range of topics, including road traffic accident analysis, road traffic flow prediction, public transportation service planning, personal travel route planning, public safety, commercial vehicles control systems, and more, are covered in this chapter of big data applications in intelligent transportation systems (Darwish & Bakar, 2018). Finally, this chapter discusses some of the problems and gaps that still need to be researched regarding big data in Intelligent Transportation Systems in Automobiles on cyber security vulnerabilities.
According to a research done by Transportation Research Board, the growing use of Big Data in large-scale Internet-of-Vehicles deployments has opened the door to previously imagined possibilities for unified transportation se ...

Changes of Organizations
Introduction
Organizational changes and reengineering are as old as organizations' existence and even referenced in the bible. The story of Moses and his father-in-law (King James Bible, 1769/2017, Exodus 18:13-27) discussing the people's judgment is an example of how delegation of authority can be implemented and handed down to others to complete the same judgment that Moses was employed and responsible for. It is equivalent to organizational leadership delegating authority to make decisions and effect changes with the limited risk involved. It is one of the first examples of a loosely coupled system. A loosely coupled system reduces the risk that a change made within one element will create unanticipated changes within other elements (Tech Target, 2011). Today, organizational changes have several factors of consideration by an organization to reduce the risk associated with decisions to implement changes. Those factors include the organizational structure, the current strategy, and the environmental impact on the market and industry.
The Covid-19 pandemic that hit the world stage in early 2020 is a prime example of recent changes that affect the changes that impact organizational operations today. The changes included a teleworking environment where employees considered non-essential to the traditional in-person approach could work using technology platforms to communicate and remain productive at a safe distance, not infecting or becoming infected by a deadly virus. Like anything encountered in life that is not ideal, knowing that God has a plan already in place for us and digging deep to persevere for a better day is essential to come out victorious on the other side. Merida, Platt, and Akin (2015) say “we should be reminded of the grace of God, who brings refreshing fall-like seasons in our life (Merida, Platt, & Akin, 2015, p.277).”
Remote Workforce
An emerging switch in how organizations had to adapt and rapidly respond to a change to the working environment that affected millions around the globe was a remote working environment to continue operations. Something considered impossible became a welcomed necessity to continue operations and maintain the same level of service and production as before the pandemic hit. The rise in how many organizations embraced and executed a telework posture almost quadrupled.
Early estimates suggested that, due to the pandemic, approximately 50% of the European workforce worked remotely compared with 12% prior to the pandemic (Ahrendt, Cabrita, Clerici, Hurley, & Leončikas, 2020). Private sector organizations were moving toward telework as an option to continue operations, and the public sectors were as well. The Department of Defense (DoD) identified non-essential or non-cr ...

Change Proposal Summary Report
One of the clinical conditions affecting numerous people globally is diabetes. Around 35
million people in the United States are diagnosed with diabetes annually. Based on the world
statistics, diabetes pervasiveness has increased promptly among people of low and middle
incomes. Accordingly, people living in countries such as India and China have the highest
prevalence of diabetes. Globally, approximately 5.0 million deaths resulted from diabetes and
diabetes-related disorders. Again, the countries spend billions of dollars on health expenditures for
diabetic patients and other approaches to minimize its prevalence through education and other
evidence-based practices. Besides, more than 400 million people globally are likely to develop
type 2 diabetes mellitus. The executive summary will describe some of the challenges facing
healthcare, such as type 2 diabetes, and ideal strategies and measures to mitigate such health issues.
Executive Summary
Proposed Change
Globally, type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic health issue affecting numerous people.
From statistics, persons diagnosed with the disease have increased significantly in the past few
decades. The Center for Disease Control has pointed out a high incidence of type 2 diabetes
mellitus among children, the elderly, and teenagers (Mayer-Davis et al., 2017). Some of the risk
factors aligned with diabetes mellitus encompass behavioral practices, lifestyle, and genetics. A
proposed change to lessen the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus entails implementing
programs including the Lifestyle Change Program and Diabetes Management Education and
Support (DMES). Such a proposed change will play a central role in raising awareness and giving
people critical information regarding type 2 diabetes, its prevention, and management (Munshi et
al., 2016). From contemporary clinical studies, recognizing diabetes risk factors early is crucial in

preventing and managing chronic disorders (American Diabetes Association, 2016). Efficient
therapy might prevent or precisely delay diabetic complications. Thus, the DMES program
educates people regarding diabetes, preventive, and management strategies to improve their
lifestyle and behavioral practices.
Desired Outcomes
There is a need to boost awareness of various risk factors aligned with type 2 diabetes
mellitus. Many people will understand the risk factors contributing to the clinical disorder and
various measures or strategies to reduce its prevalence through the proposed programs ...

Case Study Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic Fibrosis: Case Study
The patient is a 7-year-old female. Due to the fact that the patient is a minor, her mother walked into the ER with her. The mother explained that her symptoms consist of persistent coughing throughout the day and it becomes worse at night, the coughing often results in spitting out phlegm. Along with wheezing, stuffy nose, loss of appetite, pain in the abdomen, and the taste of salty skin. The patient has been up coughing and complaining about the pain for 5 hours. Since the patient’s mother had thought it was a regular cold, she had been giving her children’s Tylenol for the past 3 days, 5 mL every 4 hours. Once the patient was taken in, a physical assessment was performed. The questions that were asked to the patients mother were about family history of CF, history of bowel obstruction as an infant, stool, and eating habits (nurses labs 2018). Because of the fact that the patient’s mom mentioned her skin having a salty taste, a sweat test has been recommended to check for cystic fibrosis. The sweat test measures the amount of chloride in sweat while the genetic test detects chromosomal mutations (Very Well Health 2019). Patient has now been diagnosed with cystic fibrous and will be admitted to the hospital for further instructions.
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of cystic fibrosis is based on the defects in the cystic fibrosis gene, which codes for protein transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) that functions as a chloride channel and is regulated by cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) (Nurselabs 2018). Cystic fibrosis is often caught at birth but there are cases where people begin to develop it later in life. If it is detected as birth, many persons with cystic fibrosis acquire a lung infection which incites an inflammatory response, the infection becomes established with a distinctive bacterial flora (Nurselabs 2018). If there is a case of a person developing cystic fibrosis as they get older, there are many symptoms that come along with it and it does affect many parts of your body. It can affect your GI tract, pancreas and your sweat glands which causes the skin to taste salt like. Symptoms may include pain in the abdomen, having a chronic cough that may include blood or phlegm, any gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhea, fat in the stool, heartburn, severe constipation, or bulky stools. When it affects your respiratory system, it can cause pulmonary hypertension, shortness of breath, sinusitis, wheezing, acute bronchitis, and/or pneumonia. There might also be a delay in puberty, growth, and in development. Other commons side effects include deformity of nails, different infections, male infertility, nasal polyps or weight loss (Mayo Clinic 2020).
History
The symptoms presented by the patient include coughing up phlegm, wheezing, stuffy nose, pain in the abdomen, salty skin and loss of appetite. In the past the patient has h ...

Various advances of conducting empirical knowledge on communication arise through literature review synthesizing a significant number of studies into substantive view. A literature review involves different forms where the most familiar is a review conducted within a specific study—a research report after thorough search proceeds from reviewing earlier related work.
Whether one is a doctoral graduate or a student currently, conducting and carrying out research is considered an essential part of becoming a scholar-practitioner accustomed to credibility and skills of effecting social changes. However, these processes face various challenges. Such approaches have no relevance or contain poor evidence, lack of reliability of transparency, and biases from the selection. However, the above challenges are caused by failure to select the right topic, failure to find the appropriate methodology, and dealing with individual data.
Lack of reliability towards transparency is a challenge faced when conducting research. One must select an appropriate topic since it is the foundation of your research paper. Likewise, mindfulness and enthusiasm are absent for the strategies expected to guarantee precise audits are as liberated from predisposition and as solid as could be expected: shown by later, defective, prominent surveys. We approach survey creators to lead more thorough audits, on editors and companion commentators to door keep all the more rigorously, and the local area of methodologists to all the more likely help the more extensive exploration local area. Exclusively by cooperating would we be able to fabricate and keep a solid arrangement of thorough, proof educated dynamic in protection and natural administration (Neal, 2020). Therefore, individuals should ensure that they select a doable topic, read and research the topic create a theoretical basis that helps and supports the topic (Neal, 2020). It is also significant to select a topic that answers all

your interests by focusing on a niche that can help you make a significant difference. Also, try to capture all opportunities that can help you picking expert brains.
The challenge on poor relevance and evidence results from the selection of appropriate methodologies. A methodology is a specific procedure that helps individuals in conducting their research as a path to moving forward. Ensure that you are completely honest with the abilities while honing the study design. After deciding on whether you are adopting a qualitative and quantitative direction, ensure you focus further on the methodology details. This starts from the sources of data collection being variable while consulting different researchers. This will create honesty about one's abilities and get open to bringing a research team to develop your analysis. The best way to ...

- 1. 1 Assessment Instruments Anxiety and Related Disorders Week X DSM: Instrument: Article: Appropriateness for Dx: Response to Therapy/Treatment: Psychometrics: Limitations: References 1 Assessment Instruments Student Example Anxiety and Related Disorders Week 7 Instrument: Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN) Article: Psychometric properties of the Social Phobia Inventory
- 2. Appropriateness for Dx: This tool is meant for screening of individuals with social phobia and assignment of a severi ty score (Connor et al., 2000). The tool was created in congruence with DSM-4 but is consistent with the DSM-5 diagnosis of social anxiety disorder, minus some minor changes (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration [SAMHSA], 2016). Although the study is outdated, Duke University School of Medicine (2020) acknowledges that the tool is still relevant and utilized by their Anxiety and Traumatic Stress Program. Response to Therapy/Treatment: The SPIN is appropriate for testing treatment response and through studies has proven sensitive to symptom changes over time. Changes in scores are able to determine treatment efficiency (Connor et al., 2000). Psychometrics: The tool is self-administered and consists of 17 separate statements regarding problems a patient may exhibit if they have social phobia. The statement is then rated on how much it has bothered the individual in the last week, from ‘not at all’ (0) to ‘extremely’ (4). Any score over 21 is considered clinically significant. In the study, the assessment tool was able to effectively separate individuals with and without social phobia. Validity is strong in regard to detecting the severity of illness and is sensitive to symptom reductions during treatment. The scale shows significant correlation with the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale Test, The Brief Social Phobia Scale and The Fear Questionnaire social phobia subscale (Connor et al., 2000). Limitations: Limitations exist in the tool’s alignment with DSM-4 instead of the more recent edition, although differences are very minor (SAMHSA, 2016). With a cutoff score of 19, sensitivity and specificity were good, but some individuals consider the cutoff score to be 15, in which these measures are weaker (Connor et al., 2000).

Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (5th ed.). American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc. · Scan pages 123 through 188 Overview As you will learn throughout the program, the diagnosis of a variety of psychiatric illnesses is not always an easy or straightforward process. Multiple observations and assessment methods are often employed to reach a diagnosis. This approach can include the use of standardized assessment instruments. This then aids you in defining a treatment plan and choosing specific treatment plans to use in the care of your clients. You are tasked with identifying a standardized assessment instrument/tool to measure the disorders listed for each week. You will keep these instruments in the form of a “portfolio” that you can use in your clinical practice to assess clients who present with a variety of symptoms. Instructions: Instrument/ Tool criteria: For each assessment, you are tasked with selecting, you will identify an instrument and: 1. List what DSM diagnosis the tool/instrument is used for. 2. Identify an assessment/diagnosis instrument. 3. Appraise a scholarly, peer-reviewed article that addresses the
- 4. use of the instrument to support your choice as an evidence- based instrument for practice. 4. Evaluate the instrument’s appropriateness for diagnosing the condition it is designed to assess or if the developers of the instrument reported that the instrument is only part of a comprehensive assessment for the disorder. 5. Describe whether or not the instrument can be used to measure patient response to therapy/treatment or if it is strictly for assessment and diagnosis. 6. Discuss the psychometrics/scoring of the instrument, including reliability and validity. 7. Discuss any limitations associated with the use of the instrument. 8. Include a link to view the assessment if possible. Use the following template in completing your portfolio assignments. Your information can be in bulleted format or just a couple of sentences for each criterion listed above. However, you must use APA citations. You are NOT required to write this in a paper format. Turn in one document for each week’s topics. (However, create a file on your desktop to compile your portfolio as you move through the term.) This will ensure you can have easy access to show the full portfolio and once you begin clinicals and practice. Throughout the program, you will continue to add to the portfolio in each course.
