Review of Group Presentations Discussion Board Post
Submission Instructions for the Presentation: After completing the group presentation, each group will submit their presentation to two locations: the assignment link and also to the “Review of Group Presentations Discussion Board link” located in BB Week Four. Presentations will be submitted to this link at the same time the presentation is due (Sunday of the third week of the course). Throughout the fourth week of the course students will review the presentations and submit the DB post.
Discussion Board Post Instructions: Students will visit the group presentations discussion board to view each group’s submission detailing a specific CDC campaign. Students will then choose one presentation (other than their own) to focus their review on. The review will describe the selected campaign, discuss campaign achievements, assess health promotion methods used and analyze if the selected methods are appropriate for each audience level. Lastly, students will identify and discuss an aspect of each campaign and its connection to the health communication campaign model; social marketing techniques; and/or advocacy concepts.
One discussion board post required (no peer response posts needed). Use the bulleted outline to help you organize your responses. Address each of the aspects below for full credit.
· Describe the campaign you chose to review and why you were interested in learning more about this campaign.
· What were/are two of the campaign outcomes (achievements/success) connected to the campaign goals/objectives included in the presentation? Describe. If the campaign outcomes were not included, research the outcomes. Were you able to locate any? Describe.
· Looking at three different audience levels in the presentation (for example, individual, organizational, community) locate and share one health promotion method utilized for each level (three total). If the presentation does not describe one for each level, source an additional method from the CDC website and describe.
. Discuss and describe why the method may, or may not be, the best for that specific audience level. Use your text or additional source to support your reasoning.
· Discuss and explain one other aspect of the campaign that is connected to steps of the health communication campaign model; social marketing techniques and/or advocacy concepts. Review Chapters 4, 5, 13 and 14 to help you.
As with other discussion board posts, APA citations and references are required. View the rubric description in BB week four.
The presentation review post is 20 points, and is due the fourth week, Friday, 11:59 pm PST.

ESSAYS – Preparation for HS 305 Test 2
1. “Let’s Stop HIV Together” is a communication campaign (from the readings, on CDC’s site). It is an anti-
stigma campaign featuring individuals with HIV who share their personal stories along with friends and family.
It promotes a call to Americans to join the fight against HIV. How would a health educator apply the concept of
segmentation from communications campaigns to an intervention? Explain three specific examples of how
you think segmentation could be applied to this campaign to ensure relevance of the message.
2. Your health office wants to develop a program like CDC’s “One Test. Two Lives.” It is a communication
campaign (from the readings, on CDC’s site) to encourage health care providers to test pregnant women for
HIV infection. You are not sure whether the CDC program is applicable to your community. You decide to
conduct formative research to evaluate this. Explain three specific examples of how you think formative
research could be applied to the development of a campaign to ensure relevance of the message to your
community.
3. Answer ALL parts of this question: You have been awarded a grant for a community’s anti-bullying
campaign, and you want to enlist the help of the local elementary school. The school has a very diverse
population of students, faculty, staff, and administrators, and it strongly supports equality and respect. In this
school, children are allowed to wear clothing and other symbols of their respect for their religions, such as hijab
(head covering) for Muslim girls, and necklaces with a cross or a Star of David. The school would like for you
to enlist the students at the school to assist with anti-bullying education in the rest of the community. What is
one way that you might you help the students tailor their messages without stigmatizing or stereotyping any
individuals at the school? Who will keep the project going after the funding has ended? Why would they be
interested in doing so? What might be one specific barrier to the program’s sustainability? How can you
apply a strategy based on theory to overcome that barrier? Be specific. In your answer, include the theory and
the construct from the theory that you propose using.
4. Answer ALL parts of this question: You have been awarded a grant to promote healthier eating behaviors
among NAU students. You want to enlist the help of selected students whom you believe would promote the
campaign. The grant funders have asked that you enlist support from diverse student groups. What is one
way that you might select students who represent NAU without stigmatizing or stereotyping any individuals?
How can they help you tailor messages to reach the widest array of the student population in a culturally
competent and respectful way? Who will keep the project going at NAU after you have graduated? Why

CONTEXT:
As a master's-prepared nurse, you have a valuable viewpoint and voice with which to advocate for policy developments. As a nurse leader and health care practitioner, often on the front lines of helping individuals and populations, you are able to articulate and advocate for the patient more than any other professional group in health care. This is especially true of populations that may be underserved, underrepresented, or are otherwise lacking a voice. By advocating for and developing policies, you are able to help drive improvements in outcomes for specific populations. The policies you advocate for could be internal ones (just within a specific department or health care setting) that ensure quality care and compliance. Or they could be external policies (local, st.
Assignment 1At the heart of democratic public administration and.docxdeanmtaylor1545
Assignment 1
At the heart of democratic public administration and leadership is the goal to serve the public interest while seeking to achieve the underlying policy goals of equity, efficiency, security, and liberty. How would you integrate an understanding of the public interest into your organization? Use at least two specific examples. Make sure you define the term “public interest” in your answer. With this in mind, consider the following questions.
Sometimes critics will assail “democratic public administration” with the following remarks:
“You just can’t let employees vote on everything!”
“If you let employees have too much say, they’ll just cut back their work hours or productivity!”
“I can’t let employees have this much say because they just don’t know enough of the rationale behind our decisions!”
What would be your response to these types of critiques? Or do you agree with them?
By the due date assigned, post your response to this Discussion Area.
Assignment 4
Locate seven grants. The seven grants are listed below by type. For each grant, include in the assignment a summary of the grant and provide a URL or link to the RFP or instructions for the grant (not just a general list of grants). The seven grants are:

Developing your own practice framework for influencing policy change
What, Why and How
Critical analysis of social policy
Application of theory to practice
Adherence to academic conventions of writing (eg referencing; writing style)
At least 8 references
Assessment Criteria
a) Critically examine the policy or policies that you consider impact upon a client group
Suggest ways that policy could be changed to improve the life outcomes for those with whom you are working.
Part 1
What is this?
Not just describing
Critical analysis – a reminder
Critically examine
What is the political and ideological underpinning of the social policy?
What is the intended outcome of the policy? Is it achieving this gaol?
How the policy impacts your client group – both positive and negative impacts
How is the policy implemented – for example income support as delivered through Centrelink
Is it the policy or the service delivery that is the problem
Prompt questions
Consider vulnerable populations/clients you work with or those that interest you.
There are likely to be many policies that impact the group you choose. It is important to acknowledge the ways that economic and social policies intersect.
You can select one main policy or several policies for the purpose of the assignment.
e.g. women – are impacted by economic policy, income support, parenting payments and family tax benefits, child care support and many more.
recap
As you have worked through this unit, there are likely to have been topics or issues that have resonated with your , or really grated you.
For example, do you feel angry that people on income support payments appear to be allowed to just sit around and do nothing? Do you think the government supports them to just do nothing?
What would happen if there was a continued tightening of conditions for receiving income support?
Would anyone suffer? Would this matter? Would this impact society?
Why influence change?
Do you consider the government approach to income support is punitive?
Does the approach of welfare conditionality under a neoliberal government leave vulnerable people at risk?
What would drive your approach to intervene in this area of macro policy compared to the approach you would take if you fully supported government’s tightening of access to income support?
Alternatively
It is important to know your current world view and values as you enter any field of human services practice.
This will ensure that your tactics and strategies for influencing policy are transparent and appropriate.
Do your own values and philosophy align with those of your professional association?
Articulate your own theoretical perspective
Develop a framework that you would adopt for influencing policy change th.

INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS

1: Aggression and Violence
Aggression is, “an act or behavior that intentionally hurts another person, either physically or psychologically” (Matsumoto & Juang, 2008, p. 389). While some expressions of aggression are universal, cross-cultural differences exist in the type and level of aggression that are considered to be legally or socially sanctioned. There have been multiple reasons proposed by theorists to explain these cultural differences in the type (verbal, physical, etc.) and level of aggression expressed across cultures.
For this Discussion,review this week’s Learning Resources. Select a culture and consider how this culture expresses aggression.
With these thoughts in mind:
a brief description of the culture you selected. Provide an example of a behavior that may be perceived as aggressive by culture you selected and explain why. Then, provide an example of a behavior that may be perceived as aggressive across most cultures and explain why. Finally explain how socially sanctioned violence is acceptable within certain cultures. Support your responses using the Learning Resources and the current literature.

2: Attribution
“Not only do people bolster beliefs in their ability to control in response to successful control of an event but also they hold an unwarranted belief that they can control chance events,” states Yamaguchi (Matsumoto (Ed.), 2001, pp. 226–227) in the course text. While members of all cultures have the goal of protecting self-image following failures, differences exist among cultures in terms of the attributions made for the failure and success of a task. Thus, while the self-serving bias is universally applied, the specific attributions made differ cross-culturally. In some cultures, it is assumed that failure is attributable to situational factors while others assume dispositional factors.
Differences also exist in how the failure or success of another individual is attributed. Consider the relevance of attributions for success and failure for the scholar-practitioner working in a multicultural environment or in a global company. How would knowledge of how individuals’ attribute their own or others failure impact a team, classroom, or organization?
For this Discussion, imagine that a group of business people from two different cultures (one from a collectivistic culture and another from an individualistic culture) work together on a business project, and at the end, the project fails. Consider how people from individualistic and collectivistic cultures respond to failure and the factors to which they would most likely attribute their failures.
With these thoughts in mind:
a brief comparison of the similarities and differences of attribution styles in individualistic and collectivistic cultures. Then provide an example of a group situation in which a proj ...
Review the performance dashboard for a health care organization,DioneWang844
Review the performance dashboard for a health care organization, as well as relevant local, state, and federal laws and policies. Then, write a report for senior leaders in the organization that communicates your analysis and evaluation of the current state of organizational performance, including a recommended metric to target for improvement.
Introduction
Note:
Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.
In the era of health care reform, many of the laws and policies set by government at the local, state, and federal levels have specific performance benchmarks related to care delivery outcomes that organizations must achieve. It is critical for organizational success that the interprofessional care team is able to understand reports and dashboards that display the metrics related to performance and compliance benchmarks.
Maintaining standards and promoting quality in modern health care are crucial, not only for the care of patients, but also for the continuing success and financial viability of health care organizations. In the era of health care reform, health care leaders must understand what quality care entails and how quality in health care connects to the standards set by relevant federal, state, and local laws and policies. An understanding of relevant benchmarks that result from these laws and policies, and how they relate to quality care and regulatory standards, is also vitally important.
Health care is a dynamic, complex, and heavily regulated industry. For this reason, you will be expected to constantly scan the external environment for emerging laws, new regulations, and changing industry standards. You may discover that as new policies are enacted into law, ambiguity in interpretation of various facets of the law may occur. Sometimes, new laws conflict with preexisting laws and regulations, or unexpected implementation issues arise, which may warrant further clarification from lawmakers. Adding partisan politics and social media to the mix can further complicate understanding of the process and buy in from stakeholders.
How many health care laws can you name that affect your practice in your current or future workplace? How do they impact your daily work? How many regulatory agencies oversee the types of services your health care organization provides? Which regulatory agencies apply to your workplace setting? Are you familiar with the process of complying with those agencies in order to maintain certification? You might be overwhelmed as you consider these broad questions.
Demonstration of Proficiency
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 1: Analyze the effects of health care policies, laws, and regulations on organizations, interprofessional teams, and ...

CONTEXT:
As a master's-prepared nurse, you have a valuable viewpoint and voice with which to advocate for policy developments. As a nurse leader and health care practitioner, often on the front lines of helping individuals and populations, you are able to articulate and advocate for the patient more than any other professional group in health care. This is especially true of populations that may be underserved, underrepresented, or are otherwise lacking a voice. By advocating for and developing policies, you are able to help drive improvements in outcomes for specific populations. The policies you advocate for could be internal ones (just within a specific department or health care setting) that ensure quality care and compliance. Or they could be external policies (local, st.
Assignment 1At the heart of democratic public administration and.docxdeanmtaylor1545
Assignment 1
At the heart of democratic public administration and leadership is the goal to serve the public interest while seeking to achieve the underlying policy goals of equity, efficiency, security, and liberty. How would you integrate an understanding of the public interest into your organization? Use at least two specific examples. Make sure you define the term “public interest” in your answer. With this in mind, consider the following questions.
Sometimes critics will assail “democratic public administration” with the following remarks:
“You just can’t let employees vote on everything!”
“If you let employees have too much say, they’ll just cut back their work hours or productivity!”
“I can’t let employees have this much say because they just don’t know enough of the rationale behind our decisions!”
What would be your response to these types of critiques? Or do you agree with them?
By the due date assigned, post your response to this Discussion Area.
Assignment 4
Locate seven grants. The seven grants are listed below by type. For each grant, include in the assignment a summary of the grant and provide a URL or link to the RFP or instructions for the grant (not just a general list of grants). The seven grants are:
· Government grants
· Two federal grant opportunities with at least one related to your statement of needs
· One state grant
· One local (city, county, or school district) grant
· Foundation sources
· Two foundation grants- at least one should be appropriate to fund your project/program
· Corporate source
· One corporate grant
Assignment 6
Most funders will request an evaluation of the grant program. The funder wants evidence that the funded program achieved its intended outcomes. Therefore, understanding types of evaluation methods and evaluation criteria is important. Using the course material and additional research:
1. Discuss formative and summative evaluations.
2. Research evaluation criteria used in three grant proposals, identify the criteria used, and discuss any commonalities between the criteria.
3. Now that you know more about program evaluations, how might you write the grant proposal differently?
Cite all sources and provide references in APA format on a separate page.

How can you influence social policy change?
Developing your own practice framework for influencing policy change
What, Why and How
Critical analysis of social policy
Application of theory to practice

At least 8 references
Assessment Criteria
a) Critically examine the policy or policies that you consider impact upon a client group
Suggest ways that policy could be changed to improve the life outcomes for those with whom you are working.
Part 1
What is this?
Not just describing
Critical analysis – a reminder
Critically examine
What is the political and ideological underpinning of the social policy?
What is the intended outcome of the policy? Is it achieving this gaol?
How the policy impacts your client group – both positive and negative impacts
How is the policy implemented – for example income support as delivered through Centrelink
Is it the policy or the service delivery that is the problem
Prompt questions
Consider vulnerable populations/clients you work with or those that interest you.
There are likely to be many policies that impact the group you choose. It is important to acknowledge the ways that economic and social policies intersect.
You can select one main policy or several policies for the purpose of the assignment.
e.g. women – are impacted by economic policy, income support, parenting payments and family tax benefits, child care support and many more.
recap
As you have worked through this unit, there are likely to have been topics or issues that have resonated with your , or really grated you.
For example, do you feel angry that people on income support payments appear to be allowed to just sit around and do nothing? Do you think the government supports them to just do nothing?
What would happen if there was a continued tightening of conditions for receiving income support?
Would anyone suffer? Would this matter? Would this impact society?
Why influence change?
Do you consider the government approach to income support is punitive?
Does the approach of welfare conditionality under a neoliberal government leave vulnerable people at risk?
What would drive your approach to intervene in this area of macro policy compared to the approach you would take if you fully supported government’s tightening of access to income support?
Alternatively
It is important to know your current world view and values as you enter any field of human services practice.
This will ensure that your tactics and strategies for influencing policy are transparent and appropriate.
Do your own values and philosophy align with those of your professional association?
Articulate your own theoretical perspective
Develop a framework that you would adopt for influencing policy change th.

INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS

1: Aggression and Violence
Aggression is, “an act or behavior that intentionally hurts another person, either physically or psychologically” (Matsumoto & Juang, 2008, p. 389). While some expressions of aggression are universal, cross-cultural differences exist in the type and level of aggression that are considered to be legally or socially sanctioned. There have been multiple reasons proposed by theorists to explain these cultural differences in the type (verbal, physical, etc.) and level of aggression expressed across cultures.
For this Discussion,review this week’s Learning Resources. Select a culture and consider how this culture expresses aggression.
With these thoughts in mind:
a brief description of the culture you selected. Provide an example of a behavior that may be perceived as aggressive by culture you selected and explain why. Then, provide an example of a behavior that may be perceived as aggressive across most cultures and explain why. Finally explain how socially sanctioned violence is acceptable within certain cultures. Support your responses using the Learning Resources and the current literature.

2: Attribution
“Not only do people bolster beliefs in their ability to control in response to successful control of an event but also they hold an unwarranted belief that they can control chance events,” states Yamaguchi (Matsumoto (Ed.), 2001, pp. 226–227) in the course text. While members of all cultures have the goal of protecting self-image following failures, differences exist among cultures in terms of the attributions made for the failure and success of a task. Thus, while the self-serving bias is universally applied, the specific attributions made differ cross-culturally. In some cultures, it is assumed that failure is attributable to situational factors while others assume dispositional factors.
Differences also exist in how the failure or success of another individual is attributed. Consider the relevance of attributions for success and failure for the scholar-practitioner working in a multicultural environment or in a global company. How would knowledge of how individuals’ attribute their own or others failure impact a team, classroom, or organization?
For this Discussion, imagine that a group of business people from two different cultures (one from a collectivistic culture and another from an individualistic culture) work together on a business project, and at the end, the project fails. Consider how people from individualistic and collectivistic cultures respond to failure and the factors to which they would most likely attribute their failures.
With these thoughts in mind:
a brief comparison of the similarities and differences of attribution styles in individualistic and collectivistic cultures. Then provide an example of a group situation in which a proj ...
Review the performance dashboard for a health care organization,DioneWang844
Review the performance dashboard for a health care organization, as well as relevant local, state, and federal laws and policies. Then, write a report for senior leaders in the organization that communicates your analysis and evaluation of the current state of organizational performance, including a recommended metric to target for improvement.
Introduction
Note:
Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.
In the era of health care reform, many of the laws and policies set by government at the local, state, and federal levels have specific performance benchmarks related to care delivery outcomes that organizations must achieve. It is critical for organizational success that the interprofessional care team is able to understand reports and dashboards that display the metrics related to performance and compliance benchmarks.
Maintaining standards and promoting quality in modern health care are crucial, not only for the care of patients, but also for the continuing success and financial viability of health care organizations. In the era of health care reform, health care leaders must understand what quality care entails and how quality in health care connects to the standards set by relevant federal, state, and local laws and policies. An understanding of relevant benchmarks that result from these laws and policies, and how they relate to quality care and regulatory standards, is also vitally important.
Health care is a dynamic, complex, and heavily regulated industry. For this reason, you will be expected to constantly scan the external environment for emerging laws, new regulations, and changing industry standards. You may discover that as new policies are enacted into law, ambiguity in interpretation of various facets of the law may occur. Sometimes, new laws conflict with preexisting laws and regulations, or unexpected implementation issues arise, which may warrant further clarification from lawmakers. Adding partisan politics and social media to the mix can further complicate understanding of the process and buy in from stakeholders.
How many health care laws can you name that affect your practice in your current or future workplace? How do they impact your daily work? How many regulatory agencies oversee the types of services your health care organization provides? Which regulatory agencies apply to your workplace setting? Are you familiar with the process of complying with those agencies in order to maintain certification? You might be overwhelmed as you consider these broad questions.
Demonstration of Proficiency
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 1: Analyze the effects of health care policies, laws, and regulations on organizations, interprofessional teams, and ...

Select one of the following tools:
Cummings and Worley’s five dimensions of leading and managing change.
Explain how a leader could use this tool in guiding an organizational change.
I believe all leaders could help their organization by learning the five dimensions of leading and managing effective change. As stated in the text, 2016, “Those dimensions include motivating change, creating a vision, developing political support, managing the transition, and sustaining momentum.” (Ch 3.2, Para 20). All five of these dimensions are essential for a business that is going through an organizational change.
As a company evolves and expands over time there will be a time where the leaders of the company will have to implement change to stay effective and up to date. The first step of motivating change is very important because people generally reject change. Leaders must motivate the change otherwise the employee’s will not buy into the concept. Creating a vision helps the company understand what their goals are. Without establishing a vision, it would be impossible for people to know what the goals for the company are. This would lead to confusion and most likely low morale. Political support helps the new change become accepted. If there is a lack of support the new change could fail to gain momentum. The transition of change will not happen overnight. I believe the final two dimensions are often overlooked and not implemented in many companies. If the momentum is not sustained most people will fall back into old habits. It's important that leaders periodically check up on progress and reassure its employee’s that the change is working.

SARA'S POST:
Hey Class,
Per Weiss (2016), Cummings and Worley's five dimensions of leading and managing change provide companies reliable guidance and direction for taking steps toward organizational change. These dimensions, motivating change, creating a vision, developing political support, managing the transition, and sustaining momentum, are easy to understand and, if followed correctly, will assist in a smooth transition in what could serve as an otherwise chaotic period (Weiss, 2016).
Motivating Change
I appreciate that Weiss (2016) acknowledges that many people are resistant to change. Often, when employees or stakeholders initially learn about upcoming changes, their first reaction is one of hesitation and insecurity. Employers should offer buy-in to a new direction. Offer a compelling reason for the change, proving the move is positive and beneficial. A one-on-one conversation with employees will provide a sense of security and personalize how the change will impact their position.

How might damage to different parts of the brain impact various processes related to sensation and perception?
Can you offer additional examples of social or cultural differences in childrearing that might impact outcomes?
Peer 1 (Jennie):
Sensation and perception both play a significant role in the sensory of how our brain functions. Perception is the way individuals see things or situations. Viewpoints may vary based on several things, including one’s environment, culture, traditions, and senses. That is when sensations come into play; seeing, touching, hearing, tasting, and feeling are all part of our sensory system. As mentioned by LeFrançois (2020), “Strictly speaking,
sensation
is the immediate response of our senses to sensory stimulation;
perception
is the brain’s interpretation of the signals it receives from its various sensory systems” (chapter 3.1).
Human development includes a variety other than just genes and science. Erik Erikson is a psychologist who has been examining the interaction between genes (nature) and environment (nurture). Different backgrounds impact nutrition and physical development because not every child is raised in similar homes. One household can have customs of bike riding every night and include full servings of vegetables in every meal. Another house might have movie night along with a full bar of snacks and treats on the daily. The nutritional and physical development of the children in each household will be different because of the home environment. Social development is affected by childcare arrangements, culture, and traditions of the parents. The movie
Babies
[Streaming video], demonstrates how culture is a part of this development and precisely how nurture is the primary variable. When it comes to parenting styles and emotional development, the main thing to consider is the parent’s childhood. There are four categories into which parents fall under, each one having a different impact on how children emotionally develop. The different styles are; autonomous, usually, have securely attached children. There is dismissing and preoccupied parents, who typically have insecurely attached children, and unresolved who likely manifest disorganized-disoriented attachment. This development is influenced by both nature and nurture but develops positively or negatively depending on the child’s environment.
The relationship between perception and development is affected by one’s environment, family beliefs, and the way they demonstrate affection. As mentioned in the
Parental ethnotheories of children’s learning

Dimensions Of Security Threats In Cloud
Computing: A Case Study
Mathew Nicho, University of Dubai, UAE
Mahmoud Hendy, University of Dubai, UAE
ABSTRACT
Even though cloud computing, as a model, is not new, organizations are increasingly
implementing it because of its large-scale computation and data storage, flexible scalability,
relative reliability, and cost economy of services. However, despite its rapid adoption in some
sectors and domains, it is evident from research and statistics, that security-related threats are the
most noticeable barrier to its widespread adoption. To investigate the reasons behind these
threats, the authors used available literature to identify and aggregate information about IS
security threats in cloud computing. Based on this information, the authors explored the
dimensions of the nature of threat by interviewing a cloud computing practitioner in an
organization that uses both the private and public cloud deployment models. From these findings,
the authors found that IS security threats in cloud computing must be defined at different levels;
namely, at the business and technical level, as well as from a generic and cloud-specific threat
perspective. Based on their findings, the authors developed the Cloud Computing Threat Matrix
(CCTM) which provides a two-dimensional definition of threat that enables cloud users to fully
comprehend the concerns so that they can make relevant decisions while availing cloud computing
services.
Keywords: Cloud Computing; Security; Cloud Security Issues Taxonomy; Threat Matrix
INTRODUCTION
ecause a cloud is a collection of inter-connected and virtualized computers (Buyya et al., 2008), the
main enabling technology for cloud computing is virtualization. The basic concept of cloud is based
on the premise that instead of having selected information systems (IS) resources, such as software
and data stored locally on a user’s or organization’s computer systems, these resources can be stored on Internet
servers, called “clouds,” and accessed anytime, anywhere as a paid service on the Internet. Cloud computing has the
potential to bring significant benefits to small- and medium-sized businesses by reducing the costs of investment in
information communication technology (ICT) infrastructure because it enables the use of services, such as
computation, software, data access, and storage by end-users, without the need to know the physical location and
configuration of the system that delivers the services (Mujinga & Chipangura, 2011). However, it has been stated
that organizations adopt cloud computing projects and systems cautiously while maximizing benefits and
minimizing risks (Lawler, Joseph, & Howell-Barber, 2012). Cloud computing is expected to play .

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Prescription (Rx) Awareness Campaign
Group 4
Lora Urig and Shyela Webster
National University
COH 430 HP Strategies & Tactics
Introduction Explanation of
Campaign
70,237 drug overdose deaths 47,600 involved opioids (Scholl,
Seth, Kariisa, Wilson, & Baldwin, 2018)
“To increase awareness that prescription opioids can be
addictive and dangerous.”
To decrease the amount of people who recreationally and/or
abuse opioids. (CDC,2017)
1,000 patients are treated in the emergency room due to the
misuse of prescription opioids; and approximately 46 patients
die from an opioid overdose everyday.
September 2017: 16 counties in Kentucky, Ohio, Massachusetts,
and New Mexico.
March 2018: increases to 27 states and the District of Columbia.
47. In 2017 of the 70,237 deaths caused by drug overdose; 47,600
were involving opioids. This in an overall increase of 12% from
2016.
According to the Centers for Disease Control the Rx Awareness
Campaign goal is to “increase awareness that prescription
opioids can be addictive and dangerous.” Additionally, the
campaign attempts to decrease the amount of people who
recreationally and/or abuse opioids. This campaign is necessary
because 1,000 patients are treated in the emergency room due to
the misuse of prescription opioids; and approximately 46
patients die from an opioid overdose everyday. The campaign
wishes to raise the awareness to the public on the severity of the
issues, furthermore the Rx campaign wants to decrease those
who utilize prescription opioids for nonmedical issues and help
those who use prescription opioids for pain management find
other pain management techniques. The Rx Campaign launched
across 16 counties in Kentucky, Ohio, Massachusetts, and New
Mexico. It has since increased to 27 states and the District of
Columbia as of March 2018. (CDC, 2017)

Health promotion methods for the Individual Level
CDC Guidelines for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain
include:
Determining when to initiate or continue opioids for chronic
pain
Opioid selection, dosage, duration, follow-up, and
48. discontinuation
Assessing risk and addressing harms of opioid use (Dowell,
Haegerich, Chou, 2016)
The Centers of Disease Control has guidelines for prescribing
opioids for chronic pain; this includes determining when to
initiate or continue opioids (if the benefit of opioid usage
outweighs the anticipated risk to the patient); the doctor and
patient must come up with a treatment plan entailing which
opioid, the dosage amount, the length of time to take the opioid,
continuous follow-up appointments, and the ultimate
discontinuation of the opioid; additionally the doctor and
patient need to talk and be aware of the risks and potential
harms when taking opioids. (Dowell, Haegerich, Chou, 2016)
