PS355 – Winter 2019
Civic Engagement Project
Assignment
The core of this assignment is for you to practice "engaging yourself and engaging your civic community." Your goal should be multi-layered - to bring change in one social issue that is of concern to you in your community, to develop your knowledge and skills related to civics, and to challenge yourself to reach outside of the classroom to learn and then bring your knowledge back to the classroom to share with your classmates.
You will need to (1) choose and research one substantial social issue at Western Oregon University or in your surrounding community, (2) define a problem found within the issue, and (3) devise and implement a local solution to that problem. If the type of project you choose does not allow for implementation during this quarter, you must submit a detailed proposal of how your project would be implemented with additional time.
You will present your project to the class (a) briefly in Week 4 to gain feedback (January 28th), and (b) the complete project at the end of the quarter (classes during Week 9 and 10 of the quarter, plus on final exam day if needed). In addition, you will need to turn in progress reports and hold brief meetings with me to discuss your efforts. You may work alone or in a group (if you work in a group, you will receive a group score). You will have a great deal of latitude in the project you choose. However, you will work closely with me in planning your actions, and determining what is sufficient progress based on the project and problem you choose.
As you begin work on the project keep the following questions in mind:
· What may prevent progress or help you succeed, and how can you plan for these challenges?
· Who will you need to work with (who are the stakeholders and what are their interests)?
· What will be most effective to change behavior?
Grading
Grades will be determined by the amount and quality of work you complete, not necessarily completing the project, as there is a time limitation of just one quarter. However, the average amount of time that should be spent on the project should be at least 40 hours (4 hours a week) as the assignment is 50% of the class grade. The 40 hours includes the time needed to write the Design, Project Reports, and Project Summary. In addition, you will be assessed on how well your project changes behavior. Therefore, you need to es.

Applied Social PsychologyApplied social psychology is a field .docx
Applied Social Psychology
Applied social psychology is a field unto itself and provides researchers with a direct connection between academic social psychology and their desire to have an impact on social change. Social psychology is a highly applicable field, and social psychological research influences such areas as: consumer behavior, immigration, cultural diversity, education, the environment, organizational functioning, health/mental health, and politics, to name a few (Steg, Buunk, & Rothengatter, 2008).
For this Discussion, review this week’s Learning Resources. Think about how you might use applied social psychology in your field of interest and ways in which to have an impact on social change.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 3 a brief definition of applied social psychology. Then explain how you might apply one element of applied social psychology in your field of interest. Finally, explain one way using applied social psychology in your field of interest may affect social change.

Applied LearningPsychology is an interesting field of study be.docx
Applied Learning
Psychology is an interesting field of study because the theories and concepts that you learn can often be observed in the world around you. This assignment allows you to consider material you have covered in the content of this module and apply those concepts to your own life.
In Section 1, you will identify and define ideas. In this module, as you reviewed your course materials, you likely discovered many interesting new ideas in psychology.
· Identify three different concepts, ideas, or research findings that were interesting or useful to you.
· Explain or describe each concept, theory or research finding in detail, in your own words.
· A good response here would be at least 150 words. Be sure to use proper spelling and grammar in your response. Write your response in the space below.
Response:
The three concepts or theories that I am most interested in are the Psychodynamic Theory, the Cognitive Perspective, and the Gestalt Theory. My first interest, the psychodynamic theory, was developed by neurologist Sigman Freud. Freud believed that unconscious and conscious forces drive human behavior to try and solve conflicts with personal needs and society's demands. His theory views a person as being pushed or pulled, and emphasizes early childhood as a time in which a persons personality is formed. The theory goes on to explain that a persons personality is formed by the events that motivate behavior in early childhood, therefore proving that all behavior is motivated. Freud proposed this theory by studying which parts of the personality consisted of the Id (instincts and pleasure), the superego (obedience to parents and society), and the ego (mediates between Id and superego according to it's demands). Freud felt that if he could help people understand how their personalities were developed and to understand the unconscious and conscious mind, they could actually experience an emotional release, therefore finding relief from psychological disturbances and distress. Behaviorist and Humanist also support Freud's psychodynamic theory of personalities.
My second interest, Gestalt psychology, was developed by psychologist Max Wertheimer et al., and is a theory of visual perception. Gestalt psychology has also been referred to as gestalt theory and the Max Wertheimer theory. The idea of the gestalt theory is that the mind can understand experiences as a whole and not just as a collection of different experiences. It has also been explained as the whole of anything is greater than its parts. This is why the theory is appropriately named gestalt, because gestalt is a German word that means unified whole. Wertheimer believes that the human mind has the capability to accumulate and maintain many different perceptions in a chaotic world. Wertheimer's theory has been become known as “ The laws of Max Wertheimer" and also as “ Gestalt laws of grouping.” Gestalt psyc.

Abstract: Research on nanotechnology application in the oil and gas industry has been growing
rapidly in the past decade, as evidenced by the number of scientific articles published in
the field. With oil and gas reserves harder to find, access, and produce, the pursuit of more
game-changing technologies that can address the challenges of the industry has stimulated this
growth. Nanotechnology has the potential to revolutionize the petroleum industry both upstream
and downstream, including exploration, drilling, production, and enhanced oil recovery (EOR),
as well as refinery processes. It provides a wide range of alternatives for technologies and materials to
be utilized in the petroleum industry. Nanoscale materials in various forms such as solid composites,
complex fluids, and functional nanoparticle-fluid combinations are key to the new technological
advances. This paper aims to provide a state-of-the-art review on the application of nanoparticles and
technology in the petroleum industry, and focuses on enhanced oil recovery. We briefly summarize
nanotechnology application in exploration and reservoir characterization, drilling and completion,
production and stimulation, and refinery. Thereafter, this paper focuses on the application of
nanoparticles in EOR. The different types of nanomaterials, e.g., silica, aluminum oxides, iron oxide,
nickel oxide, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, zirconium oxide, polymers, and carbon nanotubes that have
been studied in EOR are discussed with respect to their properties, their performance, advantages,
and disadvantages. We then elaborate upon the parameters that will affect the performance of
nanoparticles in EOR, and guidelines for promising recovery factors are emphasized. The mechanisms
of the nanoparticles in the EOR processes are then underlined, such as wettability alteration, interfacial
tension reduction, disjoining pressure, and viscosity control. The objective of this review is to present
a wide range of knowledge and expertise related to the nanotechnology application in the petroleum
industry in general, and the EOR process in particular. The challenges and future research directions
for nano-EOR are pinpointed.
Keywords: nanotechnology; nanoparticle; petroleum; enhanced oil recovery; recovery mechanism;

To better understand the situation, communication with the CDC has revealed that this particular bacterium can be found in many everyday items. The CDC recommends that investigation begins in the hospital kitchens, since E. coli can be transmitted via contaminated vegetables, as well as delicatessen meats such as salami and other cold cuts.

Research has indicated that hospitals operating in the Tampa Bay area have been known to have cases of E. coli contamination. This substantiates the need for further investigations by the County Health Department.
Due to the severity of the cases, and the potential for further spread, it is recommended that the hospital seek alternate vending services since the present suppliers cannot verify sanitation protocols for their products.
In conclusion, the study done at Good Health Hospital has indicated that the E. coli outbreak was in fact caused by spoil food from the cafeteria.
As a social science researcher working for a regional hospital, you are placed in charge of contacting the DOH from your home state, as well as the CDC for statistical data on nosocomial diseases that frequently cause illness at your health care facility. Using information from both agencies, evaluate the data on common nosocomial diseases and compile a treatment contingency plan for dealing with the hospital infections.
Write a five to six (5-6) page evaluation report in which you:
Analyze Good Health Hospital’s records and itemize recent nosocomial infections that occurred within the past year. In your report, categorize the different parameters (i.e., person, time, place, ethnicity, and gender) used in the compilation of data into the information summative.
Propose at least six (6) questions for the health care administrator at Good Health Hospital, regarding potential litigation issues with infections from the nosocomial diseases. Rationalize, in your report, the logic behind your six (6) questions.
Identify a targeted audience within Good Health Hospital, and prepare an implementation plan based on your hypothetical meeting with the hospital health care administrator. Propose four (4) steps that will be useful in the final implementation plan.
Suggest at least five (5) recommendations to your department head based on the steps taken in the implementation plan. Provide rationale for your suggestions.

Federal Statutes and the Impact of Legislative Bills
A statute provides the written process that transforms a bill from a static piece of legislation to action. Enacting a statute is more complicated than simply having the legislature vote on and approve it. Once a member of Congress introduces a bill, it is sent to various House and Senate committees and subcommittees, any of which may edit, add to, amend, or “kill” the bill at any point. Therefore, only a small fraction of the bills submitted for consideration are passed into law. If a bill passes through the committees, it will be presented for a floor debate and full vote of both houses of Congress. Then, it must be signed into law by the President. After they are voted on and signed into law, bills are then subject to interpretation and analysis by the judicial system regarding how they apply to specific legal problems and cases.

Application Social ClassIn the Discussion, you addressed how .docx
Application: Social Class
In the Discussion, you addressed how constructionism influenced your racial and ethnic identities. The concept of social class is also based on or influenced by constructionism. Social class categorizes people according to their level of importance in society. According to the constructionist approach, social processes, such as political, legal, economic, and other outside influences help to categorize you as one class or another. Since outside influences change over time, designations of social class may change over time as well.
When you think of social class, you may think of wealth or power. These attributes do influence social class and will be addressed further in Week 3. Characteristics of race, such as skin color, also can influence social class. In some cultures, people may be assigned to a social class based on their skin, hair, or eye color. For example, in a culture in which white people are considered to be in a higher social class than dark people, the class of people in between may be based on the darkness of their skin, with light-skinned black people being considered in a higher class than dark-skinned black people. In a Native American society, a dark-haired person may be considered to be in a higher social class than a light-haired person. Dark hair matches expectations of appearance for members of a particular tribe. Categorizing individuals by social class can lead to conflicts in defining racial and ethnic identities. In Reading 4, June grapples with such a conflict and must revisit the definition of what it means to be Indian.
To prepare for this assignment:
Review the Readings 1, 4, and 6 in the course text, The Meaning of Difference. Pay particular attention to social class and the biological definitions of race and ethnicity.
Think of an historical example of how social class has changed over time.
Identify the major conflict in June's scenario in Reading 4.
Think about the consistencies and inconsistencies in June's approach to solving the conflict.
Consider the impact of social class on June's logic.
The assignment (1–2 pages):
Describe an historical example of how social class has changed over time. Then explain how social class changed in the example, and what caused it to change.

Application Role and Value of EvaluationThe United Nations, the.docx
Application: Role and Value of Evaluation
The United Nations, the American Red Cross, and other international disaster response organizations worked together to care for the trauma survivors after a series of four devastating hurricanes smashed into Haiti one after another, before communities had time to regroup from the previous ones. Then the 2010 massive earthquake struck the island. The poverty in Haiti complicated responder effectiveness and may have compounded survivor trauma because residents had few resources. While back to back disasters may make it difficult to evaluate crisis management plans, they point to the importance of learning what worked and what went wrong.
Once a disaster has occurred, the evaluation process includes a review of what was effective in the response as well as what was not effective. Learning and improved insights from a disaster can require making strategic changes in an organization or community. Last week you encountered new procedures for disaster transportation recovery, such as design-build, that can change the manner in which communities recover from disasters. Organizations can take a lesson from this change in thinking and creativity and look at innovative practices for strategic planning and recovery. Therefore, evaluation is a key element in crisis management planning and recovery.

Application of Nursing Theory to Practice
What would _(Place any nurse theorist or theory here)_ do?
Case Study:
Abigail Goldberg is a 46-year-old female who has recently been admitted to the hospital
after falling down the stairs and breaking her ankle. Her ankle has been repaired with an
open reduction and fixation device. Currently she has unable to bear weight on that
extremity. Physical Therapy is working with Mrs. Goldberg to assist her in advancing
her mobility.
While talking to Mrs. Goldberg the nurse finds out that she has been experiencing muscle
weakness in her legs for the last two months. She has a history of scoliosis and believed
the weakness was due to an “alignment” problem. Upon admission Mrs. Goldberg has
bilateral weakness in her lower legs. You are unable to assess her gait due to the fractured
ankle, but she states she has been “unsteady on her feet for the last few weeks”. Upon
further history taking you find out her appetite has diminished over the last three weeks,
she states she is hungry but when she tries to eat she fatigues easily then quickly losses
her appetite. She has lost 10 pounds in the “few” months and now weighs 120lbs. Her
CBC and CMP are within normal limits with the exception of mild anemia with an H&H
of 11.5 and 32.9.
Testing is currently being undertaken for a definitive diagnosis of the weakness that lead
to Mrs. Goldberg’s fall. Her physician strongly believes she experiencing symptoms
common for multiple sclerosis. The physician has shared this with Mrs. Goldberg. The
physician has ordered further blood work to evaluate any elevation in antibodies. The
physician has also ordered a CT scan and a spinal tap to assist with making the final
diagnosis.
Mrs. Goldberg has no other significant medical history. She takes only a multi-vitamin
daily. She has never had surgery. She has three children, all girls, ages 18, 15, and 11.
The girls are very active and rely on Mrs. Goldberg to take them to most of their
extracurricular events. The oldest has just started college and this is the first time any of
her children will live away from home. She has been looking forward to traveling to her
daughter’s college for visits. Her religious preference is Judaism. Her family of origin
practices Conservative Judaism. While Mrs. Goldberg participates in religious holiday
celebrations she does not actively practice Judaism nor does she attend temple regularly.
Mrs. Goldberg has been married 5 years to her second husband and states they have a
“good relationship” but that they “have not been intimate for 2 months” because she has
not been feeling well. Mrs. Goldberg was married to her first husband for 15 years. That
marriage ended in divorce after she discovered her first husband was gay.
When the nurse enters Mrs. Goldberg’s room to discuss the plan for the shift and day the
nurse observes Mrs. Goldberg’s affect to be sad. She sta.

Application of Applied Behavior Analysis to Mental Health Issues

Florida International University
The theoretical and conceptual basis for behavior analysis emerged from the fields of
experimental psychology, physiology, and philosophy, effectively melding theory with
scientific rigor. Behavior analysis has since expanded from controlled laboratories into
applied settings, including hospitals, clinics, schools, family homes, and communities.
Much of the early research in applied behavior analysis (ABA) included participants
with mental health disorders and developmental disabilities. ABA research for persons
with developmental disabilities is vibrant and expansive; however, there is a paucity of
recent research in behavior analytic assessment and treatment for persons with mental
health diagnoses. This article describes how ABA technology can advance mental
health services for children and adults utilizing a multidisciplinary approach to link
professionals from psychology, psychiatry, and other associated disciplines to optimize
patient outcomes. Discussion focuses on historic applications of behavior analysis,
opportunities, and barriers in the mental health field, and ways in which ABA can
contribute to a multidisciplinary treatment approach.
Keywords: applied behavior analysis, functional behavior assessment, functional analysis, con-
tingency management, acceptance and commitment therapy
The etiology of mental illness is believed to
be a complex interaction between genetics,
physiology, neurobiology, and environmental
factors that lead to psychological, physiologi-
cal, and/or behavioral changes. When these de-
viations differ significantly from societal norms
and interfere with one’s ability to function in
daily life, the person may be diagnosed with a
mental disorder (American Psychiatric Associ-
ation, 2000). Often a licensed physician, psy-
chiatrist, or psychologist assesses an individual,
diagnoses a mental disorder, and then desig-
nates a treatment plan for that individual. Al-
though an interdisciplinary approach, wherein
representatives from various disciplines such as
medicine, psychiatry, clinical psychology, neu-
roscience, education, social work, and behavior
analysis convene to devise a treatment plan
would be preferable, the logistics and resources
required limit this practice to select clinical
facilities. We posit that behavior analysis,
which includes refined techniques for teaching
and motivating adaptive behavior, should be an
integral part of a multidisciplinary approach to
mental health services. Combining technologies
derived from behavior analysis and other disci-
plines could broaden our understanding of men-
tal disorders, expand the range of available in-
terventions, and improve therapeutic outcomes
and client satisfaction.

Application Formal and Informal NetworksHuman services is abo.docx
Application: Formal and Informal Networks
Human services is about collaboration and cooperation. For human services to be successful, many different systems and agencies need to work together to ensure that clients' needs are met. The working relationships that are formed as a result can be considered networks, and are classified as either formal or informal. On a formal level, administrators of a shelter may work hand-in-hand with a job placement center to help clients find employment. This formal network involves connections with government agencies, schools, businesses, and other human services agencies. An informal network, by contrast, is maintained not by official policy but by personal and preexisting relationships that professionals and agencies have built over time. For instance, a case manager may use his or her influence to help a client get an extra bus ticket to attend church on Wednesdays. By working together effectively, these formal and informal human services networks can form a cohesive unit that benefits both clients and human services professionals.
To prepare for this assignment:
Review Chapter 8 in your course text, An Introduction to Human Services, paying particular attention to the ways in which human services professionals work within formal and informal networks and how these networks work together within and among agencies.
Review the article, "Building a Coalition of Non-Profit Agencies to Collaborate with a County Health and Human Services Agency: The Napa County Behavioral Health Committee of the Napa Coalition of Non-Profits." Think about the formal and informal networks the Napa County agencies are using collaboratively to provide comprehensive human services to county residents.
Read the case study of Helping Hands, provided in the Learning Resources for this week. Identify the formal and informal networks within this agency and among the other agencies and systems that CASA would work with. Also think about how these two types of networks would work together in the human services delivery system.
The assignment: (2–3 pages)
Based on the case study provided, briefly describe the formal and informal networks within the CASA agency and among other agencies and systems that CASA would engage with.
Then explain how these two types of networks, formal and informal, work together in human services delivery. Be specific and provide examples to illustrate.

Application Double Consciousness and Avoiding StigmaDouble co.docx
Application: Double Consciousness and Avoiding Stigma
Double consciousness, covering, and passing are all ways in which people respond to stigma. Double consciousness is seeing yourself through the eyes of a critical observer. For example, Arthur Ashe, a professional tennis player in the 1960s and 1970s, experienced double consciousness when he saw his daughter playing with a white doll. He saw himself both as a father who wanted his daughter to enjoy herself and as a black father, who was concerned about the perception the black community might have if they were to view his daughter's behavior in public. He was aware or conscious of two selves, his inner self, which is not critiqued by the outside world, and the self that represented the stigma of being black during this time in history. He was faced with an identity conflict. Should he allow his daughter's behavior and identify with his inner self, or should he ask her to change her behavior and avoid the discomfort of his potentially stigmatized self? People can avoid stigma in two ways: covering or passing. Families who are involved in transracial adoptions often feel the effects of double consciousness and are confronted with a dilemma similar to the one faced by Arthur Ashe.
To prepare for this assignment:
Review the "Framework Essay" in Section II and Readings 22 and 23 in the course text. Pay particular attention to the concepts of covering, double consciousness, and stigma.
Review the article and video clip, "Mother and Son Offer Transracial Adoption Insights." Focus on the pros and cons of transracial adoption.
Think about how families involved in transracial adoptions relate to the concept of double consciousness.
Think about the advantages and disadvantages of covering and passing as a means of handling stigma related to race or identity.
Consider how covering and passing can be used to both cause and resolve individual identity conflicts.
The assignment (1–2 pages):
Describe the concerns held by adoptive parents and adopted children in transracial families. Explain how these concerns relate to the concept of double consciousness.
Explain the advantages and disadvantages of covering and passing. Address how they can be used to both cause and resolve identity conflicts.

Application: Comparing Terrorist Groups
In the readings this week, many different terrorist groups, historic and contemporary, are discussed. While these and other terrorist groups may share some commonalities, it is important to keep in mind that no two terrorist groups are exactly the same. Each terrorist group can be unique in terms of their membership, goals and objectives, and tactics they use to carry out acts of terror. For instance, one terrorist group may engage in assassinations and suicide bombings while another may engage in hijackings and the use of weapons of mass destruction. Public administrators and policymakers must be aware of such differences and create distinct policies and strategies aimed at combating terrorism promulgated by specific terrorist groups.

Application CaseAppraising the Secretaries at Sweetwater URob .docx
Application Case
Appraising the Secretaries at Sweetwater U
Rob Winchester, newly appointed vice president for administrative affairs at Sweetwater State University, faced a tough problem shortly after his university career began. Three weeks after he came on board in September, Sweetwater’s president, Rob’s boss, told Rob that one of his first tasks was to improve the appraisal system used to evaluate secretarial and clerical performance at Sweetwater U. The main difficulty was that the performance appraisal was traditionally tied directly to salary increases given at the end of the year. Therefore, most administrators were less than accurate when they used the graphic rating forms that were the basis of the clerical staff evaluation. In fact, what usually happened was that each administrator simply rated his or her clerk or secretary as “excellent.” This cleared the way for them to receive a maximum pay raise every year.
But the current university budget simply did not include enough money to fund another “maximum” annual raise for every staffer. Furthermore, Sweetwater’s president felt that the custom of providing invalid feedback to each secretary on his or her year’s performance was not productive, so he had asked the new vice president to revise the system. In October, Rob sent a memo to all administrators, telling them that in the future no more than half the secretaries reporting to any particular administrator could be appraised as “excellent.” This move, in effect, forced each supervisor to begin ranking his or her secretaries for quality of performance. The vice president’s memo met widespread resistance immediately—from administrators, who were afraid that many of their secretaries would begin leaving for more lucrative jobs, and from secretaries, who felt that the new system was unfair and reduced each secretary’s chance of receiving a maximum salary increase. A handful of secretaries had begun picketing outside the president’s home on the university campus. The picketing, caustic remarks by disgruntled administrators, and rumors of an impending slowdown by the secretaries (there were about 250 on campus) made Rob Winchester wonder whether he had made the right decision by setting up forced ranking. He knew, however, that there were a few performance appraisal experts in the School of Business, so he decided to set up an appointment with them to discuss the matter.
He met with them the next morning. He explained the situation as he had found it: The current appraisal system had been set up when the university first opened 10 years earlier. A committee of secretaries had developed it. Under that system, Sweetwater’s administrators filled out forms similar to the one shown in Table 9-2. This once-a-year appraisal (in March) had run into problems almost immediately, since it was apparent from the start that administrators varied widely in their interpretations of job standards, as well as in how conscientiously they filled out the f.

Application: Collective Action for Social Movements
For every historical figure known for making significant, if not revolutionary, shifts in society, there were many people working in support of addressing the same social issue. It is a disservice to the person and his or her peer activists to ignore the many individual contributions that result in and depend on social change. Having a good understanding of the history of social movements is essential to creating social change today. For this assignment, you explore an example of social change from history and consider the individual and collective roles involved.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Read Loeb’s reflection on Rosa Parks (2010, p. 1) in the Learning Resources for an example of individual versus collective efforts to promote social change.
Use the Walden Library to research and locate an article on one of the following social movements: African American civil rights, Chicano movement, American Indian or ”Red Power” movement, women’s rights, LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) rights, or disability rights.
As you review selected resources, look for both direct and indirect references to the human resources required to transform this issue into a movement.
The Assignment:
Write a 2-page analysis responding to the following questions:
What did the collective effort accomplish that an individual could not?
In what ways does group involvement cause these movements to be sustainable or have long-lasting impact?
Include one reference from your selected resources on a social movement and two references from this week’s Learning Resources using proper APA citation.

APPLICATION 2.4
Projectile motion
About 400 yr ago, the physicist Galileo observed that certain projectiles follow a parabolic path. For instance, if a cannon fires a shell at a 30 degree angle with a speed of 250 feet per second, then the path of the shell is modeled by the equation
,
where h is the elevation of the shell trajectory and d is the corresponding horizontal distance from the cannon when the elevation is h.
1. Does the graph of this equation open up or down? How did you determine this?
2. Describe what happens to the projectile as time passes.
3. Use the quadratic equation to determine at what distance from the cannon the shell hits the ground.
4. Will the shell be at a high point or be at a low point at the middle of the trajectory? How do you know?
5. What is the highest elevation the shell will attain?
6. When the shell is at its highest, how far (horizontally) will it be from the cannon?
7. What is the point of the vertex? How does this number relate to your answers in parts e. and f?
8.
How many solutions are there to the equation ? How do you know?
9. What do the solutions represent?

It is important that a formal design methodology is used as it provides a mathematical approach to coming up with a reliable database that consolidates all the environments that use the database. A design methodology helps as it provides a way in which the whole designing and development can be done with minimum errors. The design methodology helps in identifying the requirements, the specifications and design levels of the database and data warehouse up for development. The planning stage of the consolidated data base is very important as it involves the coming up with plans that will guide the development of the database (Mabogunje, 2015). The plans help in managing quality, time, risks and other related issues that might affect the design and development of the database and eventually the data warehouse.

Apple’s SWOT AnalysisPoints of Strength· Globally Recognize.docx
Apple’s SWOT Analysis
Points of Strength:
· Globally Recognized Brand: Since its establishment, Apple has built an astounding reputation of being one of the most reliable companies providing technological services and solutions. It has one of the largest customer bases to ever exist, making it the first company ever with a stock price of one trillion dollar.
· Demanded Brand: Apple is a highly demanded brand all over the globe, it is the number one choice in America for smart phones, accessories and corporate office supplies. It has a technology that is suitable for every age and domain.
· Focus on Research & Development: Apple as a company puts a lot of its efforts and money into product design, manufacturing, quality, and marketing. A lot of studies and researches are conducted before product release that are based on customer needs and demands.
· Innovation: Apple changed the way people interact and communicate back in June 2007 when they introduced the IPhone, and that trend continued on when they introduced the IPad in April 2010. Apple shed a new light on the way people use their smartphones and tablets. Nowadays these products are an essential part of work and everyday life.
Points of Weakness:
· High Prices: Apple products are generally considered in the market as a luxurious items due to their premium prices. These products are more oriented towards middle to high income customers than low income.
· Incompatibility: Apple is considered a unique product when it comes to software and cross platforming. Items purchased from Apple whether they are computers, phones, tablets, or accessories will only function on a particular software produced by the company which leaves small space for sharing and cross platform.
· Competitive Market & Penetration: Although Apple has a solid place in market, it does not lower the chances of growth of competitive brands such as Sony, Samsung, Google, and Microsoft. In 2018 a research was conducted stating that while IOS software (Software used by Apple) is dominant nationally, 72.23 of the global market uses Android (Software produced by Google).
· Underwhelming Marketing & Promoting Efforts: Due to its solid reputation in market place, Apple has a bad reputation for promoting or marketing their products. They have poor marketing strategies the barely promotes the products and depend solely on their name to attract customers towards their products.
Opportunities:
· Focus on Services: While the main source of profit is from smartphones and tablets, Apple gets a decent amount of revenue from the services that they offer. Apple gains revenue from selling products like IPhone or IPad to every customer once every year, while they can gain profit from their services on a daily basis. These services include Apple Pay, Apple Care, Apple Music…etc. It is estimated that if Apple can put these services into good use, the company can gain up to 10 million dollar in a quarter of a year.

Abstract: Research on nanotechnology application in the oil and gas industry has been growing
rapidly in the past decade, as evidenced by the number of scientific articles published in
the field. With oil and gas reserves harder to find, access, and produce, the pursuit of more
game-changing technologies that can address the challenges of the industry has stimulated this
growth. Nanotechnology has the potential to revolutionize the petroleum industry both upstream
and downstream, including exploration, drilling, production, and enhanced oil recovery (EOR),
as well as refinery processes. It provides a wide range of alternatives for technologies and materials to
be utilized in the petroleum industry. Nanoscale materials in various forms such as solid composites,
complex fluids, and functional nanoparticle-fluid combinations are key to the new technological
advances. This paper aims to provide a state-of-the-art review on the application of nanoparticles and
technology in the petroleum industry, and focuses on enhanced oil recovery. We briefly summarize
nanotechnology application in exploration and reservoir characterization, drilling and completion,
production and stimulation, and refinery. Thereafter, this paper focuses on the application of
nanoparticles in EOR. The different types of nanomaterials, e.g., silica, aluminum oxides, iron oxide,
nickel oxide, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, zirconium oxide, polymers, and carbon nanotubes that have
been studied in EOR are discussed with respect to their properties, their performance, advantages,
and disadvantages. We then elaborate upon the parameters that will affect the performance of
nanoparticles in EOR, and guidelines for promising recovery factors are emphasized. The mechanisms
of the nanoparticles in the EOR processes are then underlined, such as wettability alteration, interfacial
tension reduction, disjoining pressure, and viscosity control. The objective of this review is to present
a wide range of knowledge and expertise related to the nanotechnology application in the petroleum
industry in general, and the EOR process in particular. The challenges and future research directions
for nano-EOR are pinpointed.
Keywords: nanotechnology; nanoparticle; petroleum; enhanced oil recovery; recovery mechanism;

The situation at Good Health Hospital has become a bit overwhelming ever since the outbreak of E. coli in Ward 10 on the second floor. It appears that there are six (6) cases of the disease. To better understand the situation, communication with the CDC has revealed that this particular bacterium can be found in many everyday items. The CDC recommends that investigation begins in the hospital kitchens, since E. coli can be transmitted via contaminated vegetables, as well as delicatessen meats such as salami and other cold cuts. The following table shows the number of cases identified so far: Case

After meeting yesterday with chief administrator Joe Wellborn, it has been decided that the litigation issues with one (1) of the patients may need further information to determine if the patient was already symptomatic with the bacteria prior to admission.
Research has indicated that hospitals operating in the Tampa Bay area have been known to have cases of E. coli contamination. This substantiates the need for further investigations by the County Health Department.
Due to the severity of the cases, and the potential for further spread, it is recommended that the hospital seek alternate vending services since the present suppliers cannot verify sanitation protocols for their products.
In conclusion, the study done at Good Health Hospital has indicated that the E. coli outbreak was in fact caused by spoil food from the cafeteria.
As a social science researcher working for a regional hospital, you are placed in charge of contacting the DOH from your home state, as well as the CDC for statistical data on nosocomial diseases that frequently cause illness at your health care facility. Using information from both agencies, evaluate the data on common nosocomial diseases and compile a treatment contingency plan for dealing with the hospital infections.
Write a five to six (5-6) page evaluation report in which you:
Analyze Good Health Hospital’s records and itemize recent nosocomial infections that occurred within the past year. In your report, categorize the different parameters (i.e., person, time, place, ethnicity, and gender) used in the compilation of data into the information summative.
Propose at least six (6) questions for the health care administrator at Good Health Hospital, regarding potential litigation issues with infections from the nosocomial diseases. Rationalize, in your report, the logic behind your six (6) questions.
Identify a targeted audience within Good Health Hospital, and prepare an implementation plan based on your hypothetical meeting with the hospital health care administrator. Propose four (4) steps that will be useful in the final implementation plan.
Suggest at least five (5) recommendations to your department head based on the steps taken in the implementation plan. Provide rationale for your suggestions.

Federal Statutes and the Impact of Legislative Bills
A statute provides the written process that transforms a bill from a static piece of legislation to action. Enacting a statute is more complicated than simply having the legislature vote on and approve it. Once a member of Congress introduces a bill, it is sent to various House and Senate committees and subcommittees, any of which may edit, add to, amend, or “kill” the bill at any point. Therefore, only a small fraction of the bills submitted for consideration are passed into law. If a bill passes through the committees, it will be presented for a floor debate and full vote of both houses of Congress. Then, it must be signed into law by the President. After they are voted on and signed into law, bills are then subject to interpretation and analysis by the judicial system regarding how they apply to specific legal problems and cases.

Application Social ClassIn the Discussion, you addressed how .docx
Application: Social Class
In the Discussion, you addressed how constructionism influenced your racial and ethnic identities. The concept of social class is also based on or influenced by constructionism. Social class categorizes people according to their level of importance in society. According to the constructionist approach, social processes, such as political, legal, economic, and other outside influences help to categorize you as one class or another. Since outside influences change over time, designations of social class may change over time as well.
When you think of social class, you may think of wealth or power. These attributes do influence social class and will be addressed further in Week 3. Characteristics of race, such as skin color, also can influence social class. In some cultures, people may be assigned to a social class based on their skin, hair, or eye color. For example, in a culture in which white people are considered to be in a higher social class than dark people, the class of people in between may be based on the darkness of their skin, with light-skinned black people being considered in a higher class than dark-skinned black people. In a Native American society, a dark-haired person may be considered to be in a higher social class than a light-haired person. Dark hair matches expectations of appearance for members of a particular tribe. Categorizing individuals by social class can lead to conflicts in defining racial and ethnic identities. In Reading 4, June grapples with such a conflict and must revisit the definition of what it means to be Indian.
To prepare for this assignment:
Review the Readings 1, 4, and 6 in the course text, The Meaning of Difference. Pay particular attention to social class and the biological definitions of race and ethnicity.
Think of an historical example of how social class has changed over time.
Identify the major conflict in June's scenario in Reading 4.
Think about the consistencies and inconsistencies in June's approach to solving the conflict.
Consider the impact of social class on June's logic.
The assignment (1–2 pages):
Describe an historical example of how social class has changed over time. Then explain how social class changed in the example, and what caused it to change.
Describe the major conflict in June's scenario.
Explain the consistencies and inconsistencies in June's approach to solving the conflict.
Analyze the impact of social class on June's logic.

Application: Role and Value of Evaluation
The United Nations, the American Red Cross, and other international disaster response organizations worked together to care for the trauma survivors after a series of four devastating hurricanes smashed into Haiti one after another, before communities had time to regroup from the previous ones. Then the 2010 massive earthquake struck the island. The poverty in Haiti complicated responder effectiveness and may have compounded survivor trauma because residents had few resources. While back to back disasters may make it difficult to evaluate crisis management plans, they point to the importance of learning what worked and what went wrong.
Once a disaster has occurred, the evaluation process includes a review of what was effective in the response as well as what was not effective. Learning and improved insights from a disaster can require making strategic changes in an organization or community. Last week you encountered new procedures for disaster transportation recovery, such as design-build, that can change the manner in which communities recover from disasters. Organizations can take a lesson from this change in thinking and creativity and look at innovative practices for strategic planning and recovery. Therefore, evaluation is a key element in crisis management planning and recovery.
To prepare for this assignment

Case Study:
Abigail Goldberg is a 46-year-old female who has recently been admitted to the hospital
after falling down the stairs and breaking her ankle. Her ankle has been repaired with an
open reduction and fixation device. Currently she has unable to bear weight on that
extremity. Physical Therapy is working with Mrs. Goldberg to assist her in advancing
her mobility.
While talking to Mrs. Goldberg the nurse finds out that she has been experiencing muscle
weakness in her legs for the last two months. She has a history of scoliosis and believed
the weakness was due to an “alignment” problem. Upon admission Mrs. Goldberg has
bilateral weakness in her lower legs. You are unable to assess her gait due to the fractured
ankle, but she states she has been “unsteady on her feet for the last few weeks”. Upon
further history taking you find out her appetite has diminished over the last three weeks,
she states she is hungry but when she tries to eat she fatigues easily then quickly losses
her appetite. She has lost 10 pounds in the “few” months and now weighs 120lbs. Her
CBC and CMP are within normal limits with the exception of mild anemia with an H&H
of 11.5 and 32.9.
Testing is currently being undertaken for a definitive diagnosis of the weakness that lead
to Mrs. Goldberg’s fall. Her physician strongly believes she experiencing symptoms
common for multiple sclerosis. The physician has shared this with Mrs. Goldberg. The
physician has ordered further blood work to evaluate any elevation in antibodies. The
physician has also ordered a CT scan and a spinal tap to assist with making the final
diagnosis.
Mrs. Goldberg has no other significant medical history. She takes only a multi-vitamin
daily. She has never had surgery. She has three children, all girls, ages 18, 15, and 11.
The girls are very active and rely on Mrs. Goldberg to take them to most of their
extracurricular events. The oldest has just started college and this is the first time any of
her children will live away from home. She has been looking forward to traveling to her
daughter’s college for visits. Her religious preference is Judaism. Her family of origin
practices Conservative Judaism. While Mrs. Goldberg participates in religious holiday
celebrations she does not actively practice Judaism nor does she attend temple regularly.
Mrs. Goldberg has been married 5 years to her second husband and states they have a
“good relationship” but that they “have not been intimate for 2 months” because she has
not been feeling well. Mrs. Goldberg was married to her first husband for 15 years. That
marriage ended in divorce after she discovered her first husband was gay.

The theoretical and conceptual basis for behavior analysis emerged from the fields of
experimental psychology, physiology, and philosophy, effectively melding theory with
scientific rigor. Behavior analysis has since expanded from controlled laboratories into
applied settings, including hospitals, clinics, schools, family homes, and communities.
Much of the early research in applied behavior analysis (ABA) included participants
with mental health disorders and developmental disabilities. ABA research for persons
with developmental disabilities is vibrant and expansive; however, there is a paucity of
recent research in behavior analytic assessment and treatment for persons with mental
health diagnoses. This article describes how ABA technology can advance mental
health services for children and adults utilizing a multidisciplinary approach to link
professionals from psychology, psychiatry, and other associated disciplines to optimize
patient outcomes. Discussion focuses on historic applications of behavior analysis,
opportunities, and barriers in the mental health field, and ways in which ABA can
contribute to a multidisciplinary treatment approach.
Keywords: applied behavior analysis, functional behavior assessment, functional analysis, con-
tingency management, acceptance and commitment therapy
The etiology of mental illness is believed to
be a complex interaction between genetics,
physiology, neurobiology, and environmental
factors that lead to psychological, physiologi-
cal, and/or behavioral changes. When these de-
viations differ significantly from societal norms
and interfere with one’s ability to function in
daily life, the person may be diagnosed with a
mental disorder (American Psychiatric Associ-
ation, 2000). Often a licensed physician, psy-
chiatrist, or psychologist assesses an individual,
diagnoses a mental disorder, and then desig-
nates a treatment plan for that individual. Al-
though an interdisciplinary approach, wherein
representatives from various disciplines such as
medicine, psychiatry, clinical psychology, neu-
roscience, education, social work, and behavior
analysis convene to devise a treatment plan
would be preferable, the logistics and resources
required limit this practice to select clinical
facilities. We posit that behavior analysis,
which includes refined techniques for teaching
and motivating adaptive behavior, should be an
integral part of a multidisciplinary approach to
mental health services. Combining technologies
derived from behavior analysis and other disci-
plines could broaden our understanding of men-
tal disorders, expand the range of available in-
terventions, and improve therapeutic outcomes
and client satisfaction.
This article briefly examines early applied be-
havior analysis (ABA) resear.

Application Formal and Informal NetworksHuman services is abo.docx
Application: Formal and Informal Networks
Human services is about collaboration and cooperation. For human services to be successful, many different systems and agencies need to work together to ensure that clients' needs are met. The working relationships that are formed as a result can be considered networks, and are classified as either formal or informal. On a formal level, administrators of a shelter may work hand-in-hand with a job placement center to help clients find employment. This formal network involves connections with government agencies, schools, businesses, and other human services agencies. An informal network, by contrast, is maintained not by official policy but by personal and preexisting relationships that professionals and agencies have built over time. For instance, a case manager may use his or her influence to help a client get an extra bus ticket to attend church on Wednesdays. By working together effectively, these formal and informal human services networks can form a cohesive unit that benefits both clients and human services professionals.
To prepare for this assignment:
Review Chapter 8 in your course text, An Introduction to Human Services, paying particular attention to the ways in which human services professionals work within formal and informal networks and how these networks work together within and among agencies.
Review the article, "Building a Coalition of Non-Profit Agencies to Collaborate with a County Health and Human Services Agency: The Napa County Behavioral Health Committee of the Napa Coalition of Non-Profits." Think about the formal and informal networks the Napa County agencies are using collaboratively to provide comprehensive human services to county residents.
Read the case study of Helping Hands, provided in the Learning Resources for this week. Identify the formal and informal networks within this agency and among the other agencies and systems that CASA would work with. Also think about how these two types of networks would work together in the human services delivery system.
The assignment: (2–3 pages)
Based on the case study provided, briefly describe the formal and informal networks within the CASA agency and among other agencies and systems that CASA would engage with.
Then explain how these two types of networks, formal and informal, work together in human services delivery. Be specific and provide examples to illustrate.

Application Double Consciousness and Avoiding StigmaDouble co.docx
Application: Double Consciousness and Avoiding Stigma
Double consciousness, covering, and passing are all ways in which people respond to stigma. Double consciousness is seeing yourself through the eyes of a critical observer. For example, Arthur Ashe, a professional tennis player in the 1960s and 1970s, experienced double consciousness when he saw his daughter playing with a white doll. He saw himself both as a father who wanted his daughter to enjoy herself and as a black father, who was concerned about the perception the black community might have if they were to view his daughter's behavior in public. He was aware or conscious of two selves, his inner self, which is not critiqued by the outside world, and the self that represented the stigma of being black during this time in history. He was faced with an identity conflict. Should he allow his daughter's behavior and identify with his inner self, or should he ask her to change her behavior and avoid the discomfort of his potentially stigmatized self? People can avoid stigma in two ways: covering or passing. Families who are involved in transracial adoptions often feel the effects of double consciousness and are confronted with a dilemma similar to the one faced by Arthur Ashe.
To prepare for this assignment:
Review the "Framework Essay" in Section II and Readings 22 and 23 in the course text. Pay particular attention to the concepts of covering, double consciousness, and stigma.
Review the article and video clip, "Mother and Son Offer Transracial Adoption Insights." Focus on the pros and cons of transracial adoption.
Think about how families involved in transracial adoptions relate to the concept of double consciousness.
Think about the advantages and disadvantages of covering and passing as a means of handling stigma related to race or identity.
Consider how covering and passing can be used to both cause and resolve individual identity conflicts.
The assignment (1–2 pages):
Describe the concerns held by adoptive parents and adopted children in transracial families. Explain how these concerns relate to the concept of double consciousness.
Explain the advantages and disadvantages of covering and passing. Address how they can be used to both cause and resolve identity conflicts.

Application Comparing Terrorist GroupsIn the readings this .docx
Application: Comparing Terrorist Groups
In the readings this week, many different terrorist groups, historic and contemporary, are discussed. While these and other terrorist groups may share some commonalities, it is important to keep in mind that no two terrorist groups are exactly the same. Each terrorist group can be unique in terms of their membership, goals and objectives, and tactics they use to carry out acts of terror. For instance, one terrorist group may engage in assassinations and suicide bombings while another may engage in hijackings and the use of weapons of mass destruction. Public administrators and policymakers must be aware of such differences and create distinct policies and strategies aimed at combating terrorism promulgated by specific terrorist groups.
To prepare for this assignment:
Review Chapter 2 in the course text
Terrorism in Perspective
. Consider the characteristics of historic terrorist groups.
Review Chapter 3 in the course text

Application CaseAppraising the Secretaries at Sweetwater URob .docx
Application Case
Appraising the Secretaries at Sweetwater U
Rob Winchester, newly appointed vice president for administrative affairs at Sweetwater State University, faced a tough problem shortly after his university career began. Three weeks after he came on board in September, Sweetwater’s president, Rob’s boss, told Rob that one of his first tasks was to improve the appraisal system used to evaluate secretarial and clerical performance at Sweetwater U. The main difficulty was that the performance appraisal was traditionally tied directly to salary increases given at the end of the year. Therefore, most administrators were less than accurate when they used the graphic rating forms that were the basis of the clerical staff evaluation. In fact, what usually happened was that each administrator simply rated his or her clerk or secretary as “excellent.” This cleared the way for them to receive a maximum pay raise every year.
But the current university budget simply did not include enough money to fund another “maximum” annual raise for every staffer. Furthermore, Sweetwater’s president felt that the custom of providing invalid feedback to each secretary on his or her year’s performance was not productive, so he had asked the new vice president to revise the system. In October, Rob sent a memo to all administrators, telling them that in the future no more than half the secretaries reporting to any particular administrator could be appraised as “excellent.” This move, in effect, forced each supervisor to begin ranking his or her secretaries for quality of performance. The vice president’s memo met widespread resistance immediately—from administrators, who were afraid that many of their secretaries would begin leaving for more lucrative jobs, and from secretaries, who felt that the new system was unfair and reduced each secretary’s chance of receiving a maximum salary increase. A handful of secretaries had begun picketing outside the president’s home on the university campus. The picketing, caustic remarks by disgruntled administrators, and rumors of an impending slowdown by the secretaries (there were about 250 on campus) made Rob Winchester wonder whether he had made the right decision by setting up forced ranking. He knew, however, that there were a few performance appraisal experts in the School of Business, so he decided to set up an appointment with them to discuss the matter.
He met with them the next morning. He explained the situation as he had found it: The current appraisal system had been set up when the university first opened 10 years earlier. A committee of secretaries had developed it. Under that system, Sweetwater’s administrators filled out forms similar to the one shown in Table 9-2. This once-a-year appraisal (in March) had run into problems almost immediately, since it was apparent from the start that administrators varied widely in their interpretations of job standards, as well as in how conscientiously they filled out the f.
Application Collective Action for Social MovementsFor every histo.docx
Application: Collective Action for Social Movements
For every historical figure known for making significant, if not revolutionary, shifts in society, there were many people working in support of addressing the same social issue. It is a disservice to the person and his or her peer activists to ignore the many individual contributions that result in and depend on social change. Having a good understanding of the history of social movements is essential to creating social change today. For this assignment, you explore an example of social change from history and consider the individual and collective roles involved.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Read Loeb’s reflection on Rosa Parks (2010, p. 1) in the Learning Resources for an example of individual versus collective efforts to promote social change.
Use the Walden Library to research and locate an article on one of the following social movements: African American civil rights, Chicano movement, American Indian or ”Red Power” movement, women’s rights, LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) rights, or disability rights.
As you review selected resources, look for both direct and indirect references to the human resources required to transform this issue into a movement.
The Assignment:
Write a 2-page analysis responding to the following questions:
What did the collective effort accomplish that an individual could not?
In what ways does group involvement cause these movements to be sustainable or have long-lasting impact?
Include one reference from your selected resources on a social movement and two references from this week’s Learning Resources using proper APA citation.

APPLICATION 2.4Projectile motionAbout 400 yr ago, the phys.docx
APPLICATION 2.4
Projectile motion
About 400 yr ago, the physicist Galileo observed that certain projectiles follow a parabolic path. For instance, if a cannon fires a shell at a 30 degree angle with a speed of 250 feet per second, then the path of the shell is modeled by the equation
,
where h is the elevation of the shell trajectory and d is the corresponding horizontal distance from the cannon when the elevation is h.
1. Does the graph of this equation open up or down? How did you determine this?
2. Describe what happens to the projectile as time passes.
3. Use the quadratic equation to determine at what distance from the cannon the shell hits the ground.
4. Will the shell be at a high point or be at a low point at the middle of the trajectory? How do you know?
5. What is the highest elevation the shell will attain?
6. When the shell is at its highest, how far (horizontally) will it be from the cannon?
7. What is the point of the vertex? How does this number relate to your answers in parts e. and f?
8.
How many solutions are there to the equation ? How do you know?
9. What do the solutions represent?

Database management
It is important that a formal design methodology is used as it provides a mathematical approach to coming up with a reliable database that consolidates all the environments that use the database. A design methodology helps as it provides a way in which the whole designing and development can be done with minimum errors. The design methodology helps in identifying the requirements, the specifications and design levels of the database and data warehouse up for development. The planning stage of the consolidated data base is very important as it involves the coming up with plans that will guide the development of the database (Mabogunje, 2015). The plans help in managing quality, time, risks and other related issues that might affect the design and development of the database and eventually the data warehouse.
The three layers of the 3-level ANSI-SPARC architecture include; a physical schema which is responsible for defining how data is to be stored, a conceptual schema which is responsible for indexing and relating data, and the external schema which is responsible for showing how informatio.
Apple’s SWOT AnalysisPoints of Strength· Globally Recognize.docx
Apple’s SWOT Analysis
Points of Strength:
· Globally Recognized Brand: Since its establishment, Apple has built an astounding reputation of being one of the most reliable companies providing technological services and solutions. It has one of the largest customer bases to ever exist, making it the first company ever with a stock price of one trillion dollar.
· Demanded Brand: Apple is a highly demanded brand all over the globe, it is the number one choice in America for smart phones, accessories and corporate office supplies. It has a technology that is suitable for every age and domain.
· Focus on Research & Development: Apple as a company puts a lot of its efforts and money into product design, manufacturing, quality, and marketing. A lot of studies and researches are conducted before product release that are based on customer needs and demands.
· Innovation: Apple changed the way people interact and communicate back in June 2007 when they introduced the IPhone, and that trend continued on when they introduced the IPad in April 2010. Apple shed a new light on the way people use their smartphones and tablets. Nowadays these products are an essential part of work and everyday life.
Points of Weakness:
· High Prices: Apple products are generally considered in the market as a luxurious items due to their premium prices. These products are more oriented towards middle to high income customers than low income.
· Incompatibility: Apple is considered a unique product when it comes to software and cross platforming. Items purchased from Apple whether they are computers, phones, tablets, or accessories will only function on a particular software produced by the company which leaves small space for sharing and cross platform.
· Competitive Market & Penetration: Although Apple has a solid place in market, it does not lower the chances of growth of competitive brands such as Sony, Samsung, Google, and Microsoft. In 2018 a research was conducted stating that while IOS software (Software used by Apple) is dominant nationally, 72.23 of the global market uses Android (Software produced by Google).
· Underwhelming Marketing & Promoting Efforts: Due to its solid reputation in market place, Apple has a bad reputation for promoting or marketing their products. They have poor marketing strategies the barely promotes the products and depend solely on their name to attract customers towards their products.
Opportunities:
· Focus on Services: While the main source of profit is from smartphones and tablets, Apple gets a decent amount of revenue from the services that they offer. Apple gains revenue from selling products like IPhone or IPad to every customer once every year, while they can gain profit from their services on a daily basis. These services include Apple Pay, Apple Care, Apple Music…etc. It is estimated that if Apple can put these services into good use, the company can gain up to 10 million dollar in a quarter of a year.
· Partner.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
