The stated primary purpose of Z10 is to reduce the risk of occupational injuries, illnesses, and fatalities. As noted in the course text, zero risk is not likely to be achievable, so acceptable risk levels must be defined. What about a goal of zero injuries? Is that achievable? How does "acceptable" risk affect injury reduction goals? Support your discussion with at least two references. Your response must be at least 200 words in length. .

The Stafford Act and the presidential declaration process works like hand in glove you might say to provide assistance to states when a disaster happens. Congress debated the issue of the Stewart Mckinney-Robert Stafford Act before passing. (Haddow 2013, p. 9). Haddow (2013) noted that “In the United States, a presidential disaster declaration is what makes available the range of resources available to the affected local and state governments as established through the Stafford Act.” (p. 192). For the president to be able to assist there has to be guidance that addresses authority and procedural requirements for the federal government to provide assistance at the tribal, state or local level. Sylves (2014) noted that “the Stafford Act reauthorizes the President to issue major disaster and emergency declarations, sets broad eligibility criteria, and specifies the type of assistance the President may authorize.” (p. 72). The president has the freedom to interpret narrowly or broadly what is declared a major disaster on a case by case basis. (Sylves 2014, p. 99). Haddow (2013) noted that “Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (The Stafford Act) occurs about 44 times each year on average (in addition to major emergency and fire management assistance declarations which provide more limited assistance).” (p. 201). “There is over 30 federal department that works within the NRF structure with the ability to assist local and state officials.” (Haddow 2013, p. 191). While it can be asked if stats over-use the emergency program, the facts are the president has to approve these actions. States may take full advantage of the resources available to help limit the direct cost and impact to state budget and local economy. Sylves (2014) noted that “The Stafford Act does not prescribe exact criteria to guide FEMA recommendations or the president’s decision.” (p. 109). Events and disasters have created requirements to make changes to the Stafford Act. Haddow (2013) noted that “In February of 2001, the Preparedness Against Domestic Terrorism Act of 2001 was passed, which amended the Stafford Act to include acts of terrorism within its definition of “major disaster,” which formalized how the federal disaster support in terrorism incidents would take place.” (p. 329). The 2001 change also noted that the Director of FEMA was to implement the federal emergency preparedness plans and made the FEMA Director responsible for establishing the President’s Council on Domestic Preparedness to limit or eliminate duplication of preparedness within the federal terrorism preparedness program. (Sylves 2014, p. 329). The Stafford Act is not without critics. The concern that approval of disaster relief would become more politically generated to influence elections or to stay in office. Sylves (2014) pointed out that “For Reeves, “the Stafford Act transformed the disaster declaration process into a highly political exercise.” (p. 121). You do not predict when a disaster i.

The Size of Government Discussion one Due Saturday Sunday now One of the most contentious issues that divide conservatives and liberals is the size of government. Conservatives often argue that government has bloated beyond any reasonable extent, while liberals frequently see a larger government role in society — thus requiring a larger federal bureaucracy. Do you believe that the size of the federal bureaucracy has kept pace with the increasing demands on government? Would Americans trade lower taxes for a much smaller federal government, even if there was a decrease in public services for ordinary citizens? Are claims that the United States is burdened by “so-called” big government mistaken, or should government be enlarged to meet the expanding needs of a growing nation? Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings. Cropf, R. (2008). American public administration: public service for the 21st century (1st ed.) New York, NY: Pearson Longman. Agency Analysis Assignment Due Saturday Sunday now In a two-to three page paper (not including title and references pages ) , identify a public agency – either at the local, state, or federal levels – that has undergone significant change in the last 25 years. You may choose an agency that you have had personal experience with, or you may choose a public agency that you are familiar with from the news or from academic study. Assess the scope of services provided to the public by that agency or department, the growth of the agency in question, or the quality levels of customer service provided by the agency. Discuss the reasons why that agency has changed in this area over the last 25 years, and speculate on the future direction of that agency in the years ahead. Your paper must be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the approved APA style guide and should cite at least one scholarly source in addition to the textbook. Cropf, R. (2008).

The Second Book Review is based upon required course readings that proffer contemporary accounts of the lived experience of Confucianism and Islam. The reviews call for you to consider the contemporary expressions of these faiths and to reflect upon their relevance to your own and our collective societal experience--To consider how central teachings, principals and practices of these faith traditions could be introduced and implemented into your own life, experience and American culture so as to lend to your personal and our collective edification. In light of the above description from our course syllabus, your review of Ali Eteraz’s book, Children of the Dust, ought to consider the following: How journey is a common motif in spiritual writings—Eteraz’s journey from childhood to adulthood and from Pakistan to the United States and how these journeys, in turn, convey Eteraz’s evolving self-understanding, spiritual maturation, understanding of Islam, etc. Eteraz’s and his family’s experience of Islam/the Islamic ethos during their residency in Pakistan and America, respectively. How Islam/the Islamic ethos is expressed in contemporary Pakistani culture—Including, when relevant/pertinent, consideration and assessment of central Islamic tenets operative in and experienced by the Eteraz’s during their residency in contemporary Pakistan. The Eteraz’s experience of how Islam is perceived by certain segments of the population in the United States via consideration of relevant/pertinent experiences of the Eteraz’s during their residency in contemporary America…and how Ali’s American experiences impacted, informed, shaped and colored his spiritual journey and his understanding of his faith/religion. What lessons we can take from Eteraz’s experiences that might contribute to a better social experience in our culture and to the improvement of ourselves as individuals as we undergo our own journeys and spiritual maturation, and as our own religious understandings and sensitivities evolve. Additionally: Allow the review to be an occasion by which you reflect upon and consider aspects, anecdotes and aspects of the book and the experience of Eteraz which particularly struck you in some way—positively and/or negatively—and critically engage and assess why this was the case. This may lead some to gravitate on issues relevant to social analysis or cultural rites of passage or interpersonal relationships or religious toleration…In short, there is freedom for you to pursue points of particular interest to you and/or relevant to your major… .

The science of psychology has steadily been moving more toward a biological basis during the early 20th century but researchers found that it really didn't explain all the nuances of human behavior. One of the more famous experiments is the Pavlov dog experiment, which described unconditioned and conditioned responses. James Watson went one step further describing behavior from what then emerged as Behaviorism. It was B.F. Skinner that shaped Behaviorism into its current state, through research on operant conditioning. Behaviorism still didn't provide all the answers; psychology continues to evolve into different areas such as cognitive psychology. Explain why Pavlov's experiments in reflexology were an important part in the development of psychology. Describe behaviorism from Watson’s perspective; then, compare and contrast his viewpoints with operational positivism and the prevailing functionalism. What are the major similarities and differences between Watson and Skinner's behaviorism? From your understanding of psychological principles, which of them had a greater influence in the areas of both research and applied psychology? Psychology seems to have emerged as a science, but with an eclectic view of how to understand behavior. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Is there a difference between the research aspect of psychology and the applied side of psychology in terms of theoretical perspectives? .

The roles and responsibilities of physicians are changing. Physicians were once the sole determinants of hospital admissions. Now, those admissions are controlled by a prospective payment system that monitors the length of stays and the costs of resources used for each diagnosis. This scrutiny has placed additional stressors on the hospital-physician relationship leading to some hospitals and physicians being in competition with each other rather than working in alignment. Review the following journal article: Lovrien, K., & Peterson, L. (2011). Hospital-physician alignment making the relationship work. Healthcare Financial Management, 65 (12), 72–78. (EBSCO AN: 69683043). Using the readings for this week and the Internet, create a 12–15-slide PowerPoint presentation with a minimum of three credible references that includes separate title and reference slides. Cover the following: Illustrate the changing hospital-physician relationship. Describe the previous responsibilities of both the hospital and the physician in the hospital-physician relationship. Explain the factors creating the need for a change in this relationship. Recommend strategies to maintain a healthy working relationship between physicians and hospitals to provide cost-efficient and patient-focused care.
