Discussion. Forensic Anthropology and Odontology. AT LEAST 160 WORDS AND ONE REFERENCE.
Bite marks left behind as impressions on a person's body by an attacker have been used in forensic investigations. Odontologists compare the positions and number of teeth, as well as dental work in order to make their comparisons. One of the most famous cases where this type of evidence was used in the case of serial killer Theodore (Ted) Bundy. Bite marks were found on one of his victims which was compared to Bundy's bite mark impression and presented in court. While this may seem like solid evidence of identification, it has become controversial for use in criminal cases.
In your post, explain why this type of analysis is controversial? Provide an example (not Bundy) of a specific criminal case or discussion in the media of this controversy, be sure to include sources. Include your opinion about using this technique in criminal cases.

Response to below discussion: Britt
The two main threats to biodiversity today are habitat loss and pollution. Our environments are seriously threatened by pollution. Pollution in the air, water, soil, and plastics have all have a negative impact on biodiversity. As you travel down the highways, you will see that plastic bottles and wrappers are all over the place, and factory emissions are contaminating the air with ammonia, dust, and soot. Animals suffering from respiratory distress from air pollution also have lower reproductive rates, which reduces biodiversity. In addition to polluting our air, greenhouse gases cause climate change, which destroys hundreds of coral reefs in our oceans. Our fish die from water contamination, which results in a decline in fish diversity. Another significant problem with biodiversity is habitat loss. Many species become extinct due to habitat loss. To develop another structure or establishment, this act entails razinf forests and habitats. Because they are removing such a large number of species from their habitats, this has a significant negative impact on biodiversity. Additionally, some species could become extinct completely as a result of this. These dangers are posed by people and companies that want to build more buildings and tear down forests and habitats to do so.

Discussion WK 9
The Role of the RN/APRN in Policy Evaluation
In the Module 4 Discussion, you considered how professional nurses can become involved in policy-making. A critical component of any policy design is evaluation of the results. How comfortable are you with the thought of becoming involved with such matters?
Some nurses may be hesitant to get involved with policy evaluation. The preference may be to focus on the care and well-being of their patients; some nurses may feel ill-equipped to enter the realm of policy and political activities. However, as you have examined previously, who better to advocate for patients and effective programs and polices than nurses? Already patient advocates in interactions with doctors and leadership, why not with government and regulatory agencies?
In this Discussion, you will reflect on the role of professional nurses in policy evaluation.
To Prepare:
· In the Module 4 Discussion, you considered how professional nurses can become involved in policy-making.
· Review the Resources and reflect on the role of professional nurses in policy evaluation.
By Day 3 of Week 9
Select an existing healthcare program or policy evaluation or choose one of interest to you.
Review community, state, or federal policy evaluation and reflect on the criteria used to measure the effectiveness of the program or policy described.
Post an evaluation topic and a brief description of the evaluation. Discuss how social determinants impact this issue.

Telehealth technology has extended the arms of traditional health care delivery into homes, clinics, and other environments outside the bricks and mortar of hospitals. Will the increased use of these telehealth technology tools be viewed as “de-humanizing” patient care or will they be viewed as a means to promote more contact with healthcare providers and new ways for people to “stay connected” (as online disease support groups), thereby creating better long-term disease management and patient satisfaction?

Discussion: Communicating in Your Internship
Directions
Kiser, Chapter 6: Communicating in Your Internship, describes the clientele who access HUS settings and successful communication skills for HUS practitioners. Throughout your HUS courses, you have been exposed to theoretical perspectives regarding individuals, groups, families, and agencies, and reviewed counseling, mental health, aging, multiculturalism, case management, and social policy. Now the time has come to apply your knowledge directly with human beings. As you have progressed through your internship and have reached the halfway mark, you have had opportunities to not only interact with clients but to observe situations in which you have been challenged to remain neutral and communicate effectively.
For your initial post:
1. Describe your client population. Cite Kiser Chapter 6 material to explain some of the characteristics of this group and some of the challenges a HUS professional might encounter.
2. Discuss what you have learned in your HUS coursework that has helped you to understand and work with this clientele. Specifically name the course and information. For example: Family Systems and Dynamics helped me to understand that the whole family plays a part in the problem that the client presents. Ethics taught me that the professional role has clear boundaries and that I must be aware of those boundaries to help my clients without violating ethical standards. Group Dynamics taught me that conflict and power may make it hard to serve my client population. Please refer to the courses you have taken.
3. Discuss at least 2 areas that have been more difficult as you work with the clientele.
4. Discuss your understanding of what roadblocks have been presented for you to overcome, for example, personal beliefs and values regarding conflict, anger, addiction, poverty, incarceration, aging, gender, culture, religion. It is important to be honest and own that although being objective is an ideal, as human beings, our own biases and beliefs will be brought into sharp relief as we deal directly with others who are facing challenges in their lives.
5. Discuss what you can do to work towards more neutrality when faced with clients who challenge you. Give at least three methods you can use to help you overcome these challenges.

Discussion Topic- Concepts of Managed Care
Health insurance companies cover services they define as medically necessary. Medical necessity is a decision made by a health plan as to whether the treatment, test, or procedure is necessary for a patient’s health or to treat a medical problem. Third-party payers (aka Insurance companies or health plans) often require documentation to illustrate medical necessity for treatment before payment will be made.
For your main Discussion post, evaluate and examine medical necessity from a
provider’s
(doctor, hospital, clinic, etc.) point of a view
and
from a
payer’s
/health plan’s (Aetna, Cigna, Affinity, Healthfirst, etc.) point of view.
Research then discuss the role
evidence-based clinical criteria and guidelines

Discussion Prompt #1 - Juveniles as AdultsThe juvenile jus.docx
Discussion Prompt #1 - Juvenile's as Adults?
The juvenile justice system has evolved into a parallel yet independent system of justice with its own terminology and rules of prosecution. The primary purpose of juvenile procedures is protection and treatment; with adults, the aim is to punish the guilty. Are there any circumstances in which you believe that a juvenile may be tried as adults? On what basis have you arrived at this answer?
Discussion Prompt #2 - After School Programs
A major preventive advantage of school for juveniles is the monitoring and social control that principals, teachers, and other school staff provide. Some juveniles are on their own after school because their parents are at work. This time period can create opportunities for crime and delinquency. After-school programs can keep children and adolescents engaged in structured, prosocial activities until their parents return from work. How important are after-school programs for at-risk youth? Provide an example of an after-school youth program that is effective in engaging children and adolescents.

· In addition to your main post, you must post
three responses to other posts made by your classmates. These can be replies to other main posts or responding to student replies on your thread.
PLEASE RESPOND TO THE PEER POSTS BELOW
PEER 1
Ransomware works via finding its way onto a host computer, it's a kind of malware so it's like when your computer gets sick and slows it down but instead it locks out all your stuff. Usually what they ask for in return for control of your files is money, but sometimes they will ask for other important things. The FBI doesn't condone giving the attackers what they want because it's more than likely that they'll just take the money and keep your stuff locked, they'll possibly even ask for more. That's why they stress how important it is that if this happens to you then you should go to them for help. If your in a company then you ask your IT department.
The software goes through this encryption phase where it starts encrypting all the files on your computer until it's all locked and you can tell if something is encrypted usually because the file will have an extension added onto it. Such as .aaa , .micro , .encrypted , .ttt , .xyz , .zzz , .locky , .crypt , .cryptolocker , .vault , or .petya. These extensions are an indication that a file has been partially or fully encrypted. What's recommended is that as soon as you find out that your files are being locked, you disconnect from all wireless connections and other computing devices, because this virus can and will spread to cause even more havoc. It can spread across your network and ruin other computers on said network.
Ransomware is normally delivered by drive-by downloads or email phishing. Drive-by downloads are a fancy way of saying a download that you pick up while browsing a site and it runs in the background. Email phishing is one of the reasons you don't click on links from emails from anyone, even from trusted sources. If you know who the email is coming from your best bet is to get with them personally to make sure that it's a valid email and that it's not an attacker. If a ransom is paid though, the attack may give you an encryption key to unlock your files, if your lucky enough. Why take a chance though, you should always take the smart path and make sure that you contact the proper authorities if you come across anything like this in your time. Also make sure to back up your computer files, it may sound obvious enough to want to put it off and procrastinate this, but the longer you wait the more at risk you are.

Discussion Ethics in Cross-Cultural ResearchWhile many psyc.docx
Discussion: Ethics in Cross-Cultural Research
While many psychologists may be familiar with ethical considerations in their own culture, such as the use of Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) to review research, or the existence of professional documents such as American Psychological Association’s (APA) code of ethics, when conducting research outside of their majority home culture, they may be at a loss. For instance, the psychologist may not be aware of different rules and regulations for research in different nations, or about various spoken and unspoken cultural beliefs about morals and ethics and the role and purpose of research, such as differing understandings and beliefs about what merits co-authorship or what constitutes privacy and confidentiality. Familiarizing yourself with such ethical considerations will be important for you to understand in your future professional practice.
For this Discussion, you will examine ethical issues related to cross-cultural research and the necessary course of action.
To Prepare:
Consider the following:
Professor Plum wants to investigate cross-cultural differences in attitudes towards different foods. He is very interested in nation “X”. However, he has never been there nor does he know the language or culture or the political situation. He also does not know if there are any psychologists living in that nation. Understanding attitudes about foods in this nation may help with people with eating disorders in Professor Plum’s country and eventually may help people with eating disorders in many nations.
As you consider Professor Plum’s research, think about the impact of his plans on human subject protection. Also, consider the ethical implications of the aims of his research purposes and his ability to gain information that will accurately represent those from whom he collects data.
Before Professor Plum begins his research,
post
and explain some of the potential ethical issues he will need to consider (i.e., impact on human subject protection) and why this is an important consideration. Further explain two ethical issues and suggest what courses of action might be appropriate.

Discussion 2 Advantages and Disadvantages of Different Methods .docx
Discussion 2: Advantages and Disadvantages of Different Methods in Cross-Cultural Research
In cross-cultural psychology research, a broad range of techniques is utilized to determine the best way to access critical data. Each technique has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, laboratory experiments may offer great control and ability to examine issues of cause and effect, but may not always reflect actual real-world conditions, especially in cross cultural situations. As an additional example, long term field work and interviews conducted by living in a given cultural setting for a year or two, may offer the possibility of many nuanced observations, yet such qualitative work will not lead to statistical or experimental designs. Each method tends to have pros and cons, rather than one method being the "right" one for every situation. For this Discussion, you will explore the advantages and disadvantages of using different research methods in cross-cultural research.
Post
and explain one advantage and one disadvantage of quantitative research for cross-cultural psychology. Then, describe one advantage and one disadvantage of qualitative research for cross-cultural psychology. Use examples from the studies provided to support your thinking.

Intermountain Healthcare is a high-performing integrated health system with facilities in Utah and Idaho. The health system has a long-standing clinical integration structure that encourages professional collaboration. Despite this, in 1999, many physicians at Intermountain Healthcare found it difficult to fulfill the needs of patients with co-occurring physical and mental health conditions. To efficiently and effectively address this issue, Intermountain Healthcare adopted a mental health integration model in many of its primary care facilities, as well as some of its specialty clinics and partner clinics. The team-based approach has improved the coordination of services, resulting in higher quality care at a savings of cost

Discussion: Communicating in Your Internship
Directions
Kiser, Chapter 6: Communicating in Your Internship, describes the clientele who access HUS settings and successful communication skills for HUS practitioners. Throughout your HUS courses, you have been exposed to theoretical perspectives regarding individuals, groups, families, and agencies, and reviewed counseling, mental health, aging, multiculturalism, case management, and social policy. Now the time has come to apply your knowledge directly with human beings. As you have progressed through your internship and have reached the halfway mark, you have had opportunities to not only interact with clients but to observe situations in which you have been challenged to remain neutral and communicate effectively.
For your initial post:
1. Describe your client population. Cite Kiser Chapter 6 material to explain some of the characteristics of this group and some of the challenges a HUS professional might encounter.
2. Discuss what you have learned in your HUS coursework that has helped you to understand and work with this clientele. Specifically name the course and information. For example: Family Systems and Dynamics helped me to understand that the whole family plays a part in the problem that the client presents. Ethics taught me that the professional role has clear boundaries and that I must be aware of those boundaries to help my clients without violating ethical standards. Group Dynamics taught me that conflict and power may make it hard to serve my client population. Please refer to the courses you have taken.
3. Discuss at least 2 areas that have been more difficult as you work with the clientele.
4. Discuss your understanding of what roadblocks have been presented for you to overcome, for example, personal beliefs and values regarding conflict, anger, addiction, poverty, incarceration, aging, gender, culture, religion. It is important to be honest and own that although being objective is an ideal, as human beings, our own biases and beliefs will be brought into sharp relief as we deal directly with others who are facing challenges in their lives.
5. Discuss what you can do to work towards more neutrality when faced with clients who challenge you. Give at least three methods you can use to help you overcome these challenges.

Discussion Topic- Concepts of Managed Care
Health insurance companies cover services they define as medically necessary. Medical necessity is a decision made by a health plan as to whether the treatment, test, or procedure is necessary for a patient’s health or to treat a medical problem. Third-party payers (aka Insurance companies or health plans) often require documentation to illustrate medical necessity for treatment before payment will be made.
For your main Discussion post, evaluate and examine medical necessity from a

Discussion Prompt #1 - Juveniles as AdultsThe juvenile jus.docx
Discussion Prompt #1 - Juvenile's as Adults?
The juvenile justice system has evolved into a parallel yet independent system of justice with its own terminology and rules of prosecution. The primary purpose of juvenile procedures is protection and treatment; with adults, the aim is to punish the guilty. Are there any circumstances in which you believe that a juvenile may be tried as adults? On what basis have you arrived at this answer?
Discussion Prompt #2 - After School Programs
A major preventive advantage of school for juveniles is the monitoring and social control that principals, teachers, and other school staff provide. Some juveniles are on their own after school because their parents are at work. This time period can create opportunities for crime and delinquency. After-school programs can keep children and adolescents engaged in structured, prosocial activities until their parents return from work. How important are after-school programs for at-risk youth? Provide an example of an after-school youth program that is effective in engaging children and adolescents.

Ransomware works via finding its way onto a host computer, it's a kind of malware so it's like when your computer gets sick and slows it down but instead it locks out all your stuff. Usually what they ask for in return for control of your files is money, but sometimes they will ask for other important things. The FBI doesn't condone giving the attackers what they want because it's more than likely that they'll just take the money and keep your stuff locked, they'll possibly even ask for more. That's why they stress how important it is that if this happens to you then you should go to them for help. If your in a company then you ask your IT department.
The software goes through this encryption phase where it starts encrypting all the files on your computer until it's all locked and you can tell if something is encrypted usually because the file will have an extension added onto it. Such as .aaa , .micro , .encrypted , .ttt , .xyz , .zzz , .locky , .crypt , .cryptolocker , .vault , or .petya. These extensions are an indication that a file has been partially or fully encrypted. What's recommended is that as soon as you find out that your files are being locked, you disconnect from all wireless connections and other computing devices, because this virus can and will spread to cause even more havoc. It can spread across your network and ruin other computers on said network.
Ransomware is normally delivered by drive-by downloads or email phishing. Drive-by downloads are a fancy way of saying a download that you pick up while browsing a site and it runs in the background. Email phishing is one of the reasons you don't click on links from emails from anyone, even from trusted sources. If you know who the email is coming from your best bet is to get with them personally to make sure that it's a valid email and that it's not an attacker. If a ransom is paid though, the attack may give you an encryption key to unlock your files, if your lucky enough. Why take a chance though, you should always take the smart path and make sure that you contact the proper authorities if you come across anything like this in your time. Also make sure to back up your computer files, it may sound obvious enough to want to put it off and procrastinate this, but the longer you wait the more at risk you are.

This week, I have decided to write my discussion post about ransomware and explain how it works. I've always found it one of the more interesting topics in cybersecurity. The idea behind ransomware is quite si.

Discussion Ethics in Cross-Cultural ResearchWhile many psyc.docx
Discussion: Ethics in Cross-Cultural Research
While many psychologists may be familiar with ethical considerations in their own culture, such as the use of Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) to review research, or the existence of professional documents such as American Psychological Association’s (APA) code of ethics, when conducting research outside of their majority home culture, they may be at a loss. For instance, the psychologist may not be aware of different rules and regulations for research in different nations, or about various spoken and unspoken cultural beliefs about morals and ethics and the role and purpose of research, such as differing understandings and beliefs about what merits co-authorship or what constitutes privacy and confidentiality. Familiarizing yourself with such ethical considerations will be important for you to understand in your future professional practice.
For this Discussion, you will examine ethical issues related to cross-cultural research and the necessary course of action.
To Prepare:
Consider the following:
Professor Plum wants to investigate cross-cultural differences in attitudes towards different foods. He is very interested in nation “X”. However, he has never been there nor does he know the language or culture or the political situation. He also does not know if there are any psychologists living in that nation. Understanding attitudes about foods in this nation may help with people with eating disorders in Professor Plum’s country and eventually may help people with eating disorders in many nations.
As you consider Professor Plum’s research, think about the impact of his plans on human subject protection. Also, consider the ethical implications of the aims of his research purposes and his ability to gain information that will accurately represent those from whom he collects data.
Before Professor Plum begins his research,
post
and explain some of the potential ethical issues he will need to consider (i.e., impact on human subject protection) and why this is an important consideration. Further explain two ethical issues and suggest what courses of action might be appropriate.

Discussion 2 Advantages and Disadvantages of Different Methods .docx
Discussion 2: Advantages and Disadvantages of Different Methods in Cross-Cultural Research
In cross-cultural psychology research, a broad range of techniques is utilized to determine the best way to access critical data. Each technique has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, laboratory experiments may offer great control and ability to examine issues of cause and effect, but may not always reflect actual real-world conditions, especially in cross cultural situations. As an additional example, long term field work and interviews conducted by living in a given cultural setting for a year or two, may offer the possibility of many nuanced observations, yet such qualitative work will not lead to statistical or experimental designs. Each method tends to have pros and cons, rather than one method being the "right" one for every situation. For this Discussion, you will explore the advantages and disadvantages of using different research methods in cross-cultural research.

Course Information
area of the course navigation menu.
Intermountain Healthcare is a high-performing integrated health system with facilities in Utah and Idaho. The health system has a long-standing clinical integration structure that encourages professional collaboration. Despite this, in 1999, many physicians at Intermountain Healthcare found it difficult to fulfill the needs of patients with co-occurring physical and mental health conditions. To efficiently and effectively address this issue, Intermountain Healthcare adopted a mental health integration model in many of its primary care facilities, as well as some of its specialty clinics and partner clinics. The team-based approach has improved the coordination of services, resulting in higher quality care at a savings of cost
