Assignment: Agenda Comparison Grid and Fact Sheet or Talking Points Brief It may seem to you that healthcare has been a national topic of debate among political leaders for as long as you can remember. Healthcare has been a policy item and a topic of debate not only in recent times but as far back as the administration of the second U.S. president, John Adams. In 1798, Adams signed legislation requiring that 20 cents per month of a sailor’s paycheck be set aside for covering their medical bills. This represented the first major piece of U.S. healthcare legislation, and the topic of healthcare has been woven into presidential agendas and political debate ever since. As a healthcare professional, you may be called upon to provide expertise, guidance and/or opinions on healthcare matters as they are debated for inclusion into new policy. You may also be involved in planning new organizational policy and responses to changes in legislation. For all of these reasons you should be prepared to speak to national healthcare issues making the ne.

Running head: MEMO-PERSUASIVE MESSAGE 1 MEMO-PERSUASIVE MESSAGE 2 MEMO To: The CEO Bertrand Green From: Public relations director Date: September 18, 2014 RE: Go ahead to pursue environmental conservation plan I have realized that there have been environmental issues arising in the communities outside the company. The local companies, which employ many people in, the community has been engaging in bad environmental practices. This is bad news and it is our obligation as a company to champion environmental protection and conservation as well as leading as an example in conservation of the environment. The company has also been accused of hypocrisy in that it leads in community relations by advocating environmental conservation yet the employees of our company contribute to environmental pollution by using cars, which emit bad gases to the environment. I have come up with a plan, which will help in protecting the company against the hypocrisy charges as well as promote environmental conservation. I have discovered that there are hybrid cars, which do not pollute the environment. If the company can replace the vans it has with the hybrid cars, this can be a great move in advocating environmental conservation. The company also should encourage the employees to consider purchasing these hybrid cars. The company can assist the employees to purchase the hybrid cars by offering them substantial rebates. Since the company will purchase the hybrid cars in wholesale, it will benefit from good discounts. The hypocrisy charges placed against the company have seen us lose sales. This plan will go a long way in protecting the company’s name thus winning more customers. Obviously, this will translate to more sales. All I request from you is your approval regarding this plan. Upon your approval on this plan, I will implement it immediately. I will also provide you with a progress report, which includes a full budget for the plan.

NHS-FPX6008 - Economics and Decision Making in Health Care Assessment 4 Instructions: Lobbying for Change Top of Form Bottom of Form Write a letter to an official in your state or local government. (Choose the individual in the level of government that will best address your issue). The purpose of this letter is to advocate for action with regards to your chosen health care environment issue. Introduction Note: Each assessment in this course builds upon the work you have completed in previous assessments. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented. As health care leaders, it is important to understand strategies for advocating and lobbying elected officials. This can lead to the development of policies or laws that can help drive improved equity and outcomes for all participants in the health care environment as well as a more sustainable financial future. Background and Context As a master's-level health care practitioner, you may be expected to implement plans to ensure that initiatives designed to take advantage of economic opportunities for the organization are rolled out successfully and can be sustained over multiple years. Additionally, it is important to be able to envision how an initiative could be implemented in different contexts and for different purposes to ensure the investment remains a viable and positive asset to your organization or care setting. As a master's-level practitioner, you will often be challenged to influence the health care environment in a variety of ways. This influence can occur on a micro-level (implementing change on your unit, institution, community, or local organizations) or at a macro level (implementing change via state or federal regulations and policy). One way you can influence the health care environment is by lobbying an elected official at the local, state, or national level to adopt policies or legislation that would support positive economic and health outcomes for patients, practitioners, and organizations within the health care environment. Instructions For this assessment, you will develop a letter to an official in your state or local government (choose the individual in the level of government that will best address your issue). The purpose of this letter is to advocate for action with regards to your chosen health care environment issue. Remember, when writing the letter, you must use your personal address and telephone number unless you are exclusively representing a group or your organization. Be sure to address each main point. Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide, including performance-level descriptions for each criterion, to ensure you understand the work you will be asked to complete and how it will be assessed. In addition, note the requirements for document format and length and for supporting evidence. Overall, your assessment submission will be assessed on the following criteria: · Summarize the health care economic i.

Final Project The major written assignment, a Health Policy Analysis, is due in Week Six. Completion of this paper will involve research utilizing selected websites and the Ashford Online Library. You are employed as an analyst in a state governor’s office and have been asked to write a 15 to 20 page health policy analysis. Your analysis will include the following; 1. Problem Statement: A one to three sentence question in which you succinctly identify a health-related problem. Do not include any recommendations in your problem statement, but rather phrase your problem statement so that it lends itself to an analysis that considers several options. 2. Background: Explain why the problem has been selected for analysis. Provide statistics and background data to document the scope and nature of the problem. 3. Landscape Identification: Identify the key stakeholders and the factors that must be considered e.g. political, social, economic, practical, and legal factors when analyzing the problem. For each factor, your analysis should discuss relevant views of the identified stakeholders. You may organize this section by stakeholder or by factor. Some stakeholders may not have relevant views for all of the factors, but each stakeholder must be addressed as often as necessary to convey their policy position. The tone of the landscape section should be neutral and objective. 4. Alternatives Section: Provide three to five options to consider. This section is not just a statement of choices, but an analysis of each alternative by stating the positive/negative and pro/con aspects of pursuing each option. Analyze all your options equally, and avoid providing more detail for the option you plan to recommend. This section should be completely objective. In completing your alternatives section, you may wish to utilize any of the following criteria in your analysis: cost, cost-benefit, political feasibility, legality, administrative ease, fairness, timeliness, targeted impact. Identify and evaluate the impacts of these processes e.g. persons served, lives saved, hospital days avoided, people screened. 5. Side-by-side Tables of the Alternatives: Create descriptive or analytic tables of your alternatives in which you summarize key information. A descriptive table would provide a description of each option but not provide any analysis. An analytic table would assess the option based on the criteria chosen. Make sure to clearly label your tables. 6. Recommendations: Select one of your alternatives, and clearly differentiate it as the best option, making sure to provide a detailed explanation as to why it is preferred over the other options. Weigh the data/evidence and analyze it in terms of technical feasibility, political feasibility, or economic and financial viability. In addition, also identify what, if any, actions may be taken to mitigate or overcome the negative aspects of your selected recommendation. (You presented these in your Alternatives Secti ...

Chapter 12: Public Health Preparedness Policy Chapter Overview • Describe what public health preparedness is and the role of the public health community in preparing for and responding to emergencies • Understand the breadth of public health emergencies, and the types of communities public health must work with to prepare for and respond to specific events • Understand the threats from and history of use of weapons of mass destruction Chapter Overview • Define public health threats from biological agents and naturally occurring diseases • Discuss both the federal, state, and local policies and laws that support public health preparedness and the infrastructure that has been built to support preparedness activities at the federal, state and local levels Defining Public Health Preparedness • “[P]ublic health emergency preparedness . . . is the capability of the public health and health care systems, communities, and individuals, to prevent, protect against, quickly respond to, and recover from health emergencies, particularly those whose scale, timing, or unpredictability threatens to overwhelm routine capabilities. Preparedness involves a coordinated and continuous process of planning and implementation that relies on measuring performance and taking corrective action.” – The RAND Corporation Defining Public Health Preparedness • Public health “emergencies” fit into four basic categories: – the intentional or accidental release of a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) agent; – natural epidemics or pandemics, which may involve a novel, emerging infectious disease, a re-emerging agent, or a previously controlled disease; – natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, or fires; and – manmade environmental disasters such as oil spills. Defining Public Health Preparedness • A fifth category of public health emergency, as defined by the World Health Organization’s International Health Regulations, is “an extraordinary event which is determined . . . to constitute a public health risk to other States through the international spread of disease and to potentially require a coordinated international response.” Such an emergency can involve any of the above four types of public health events, as long as it has the potential to cross borders. Public Health Preparedness Policy • While government officials have long been aware of public health emergencies and the need for coordinated action to detect, report, and respond appropriately, the U.S. preparedness infrastructure did not truly take shape until after the attacks of September 11, 2001 • The two initial, significant organizational changes: the establishment of the federal Office of Homeland Security and the Homeland Security Council within the White House, and the creation of the Department of Homeland Security Public Health Preparedness Policy ...

1 IHP 501 Final Project One Guidelines and Rubric Country Profile Overview As a healthcare professional driven to advocacy, you must be aware of disparities of healthcare systems within and across borders. This course has prepared you to critically analyze a variety of health issues in countries around the world and to assess the role healthcare professionals and institutions or organizations play in both the delivery and improvement (or detriment) of a system. Ultimately, as an advocate for population health and promotion of service delivery, you will craft an analysis of health issues that will lead you to make recommendations on how to effect positive change regarding healthcare access, equity, and outcomes in a country. Final Project One for this course is the creation of a country profile that provides a detailed assessment of the chosen population and its healthcare system. The final product represents an authentic demonstration of competency because by exploring healthcare across borders to better understand disparities and the impacts of economics, culture, and social factors on population health, you will gain a global view of healthcare necessary for impactful advocacy. The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two and Four. The final product will be submitted in Module Six. In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:  Assess the impact of economic, social, and cultural factors on communities and healthcare organizations in the United States and internationally  Determine the role and influence of key international organizations and stakeholders in promoting global health, service delivery, and healthcare policy  Analyze data from global and local health organizations for informing health initiative recommendations Prompt For this project, choose a country (other than the United States) and assess its population health and healthcare system. Your country profile should address the impacts of economics, culture, and social factors on population health. You will choose three areas of health study to examine in detail for your country. These areas must be approved by your instructor. 2 Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: I. Introduction A. State the purpose of the country profile and explain why you chose to write about this country in particular. B. Identify appropriate details needed for an analysis of the state of healthcare in your chosen country. Your discussion should include but is not limited to population, type of government and the state of governmental affairs, geographic location, and climate. II. General State of Healthcare A.

Create a PowerPoint presentation of 14-16 slides with speaking notes on the new regulations impacting the practice as a result of the Affordable Care Act. Introduction The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA or ACA) was signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2010. The ACA attempts to increase access to care, reduce cost, and improve quality. Nearly 50 different reform initiatives were implemented between 2010 and 2017. Although primary care is a major focus of the act, these additional initiatives are focused on 10 different areas, including public health, prevention of disease, community health, and increasing revenue provisions to pay for the reform (Niles, 2021). The law has been controversial due to the mandate that all Americans must purchase health insurance. The U.S. government plays a significant role in the operation of the country's health care system. Quality, access, funding, education, and preventative services are all influenced by the U.S. government (Niles, 2021), and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has further increased the role and involvement of the government in health care. All health care administrators must be knowledgeable on the role of the government. Numerous governmental organizations exist, such as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Office of the Surgeon General to name a few. Each organization exists for a specific purpose and has a specific mission. Your role as an administrator will be to understand the scope of these agencies and to help your organization meet or exceed the governmental mandates imposed by each. Reference Niles, N. J. (2021). Basics of the U.S. health care system (4th ed.). Jones & Bartlett Learning. Demonstration of Proficiency By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment scoring guide criteria: Competency 1: Analyze current health reform, policy, and regulation in U.S. health care. Explain the Affordable Care Act and its impact on the U.S. health care system and on the practice of health care in the United States. Analyze current trends in policy and predict future reforms. Explain how health care reform and policy have impacted health care quality and cost. Explain how regulatory agencies have evolved to address health reform and policy. Competency 4: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and respectful of the diversity, dignity, and integrity of others. Produce a presentation that conveys understanding of the topic, its context, and its relevance. Use academic writing conventions such as APA formatting and cita.

PowerPoint Presentation #1 TOPIC- Mental health illness in adults with substance abuse The Assessment must include epidemiological methods including, but not limited to the following items: Descriptive information on the target population (e.g., age, gender, culture, ethnicity) and location (e.g., city, town, state). Identification through assessment means of the health issue/problem and how it has affected the target population (information on impact could come from mortality and morbidity reports, academic research, etc. Avoid using online sources such as WebMD. Government sources are fine, but the Ashford Library’s journal collection is the best means to discover data on health impact.) Risk factors as outlined by epidemiological means (risk factors include social and behavioral determinants within the community or among the population that contributes to or ameliorates this problem). Other demographic information outlined by epidemiological assessment measures. Explain how the two essential services that revolve around assessment are applied to this health problem: 1) Monitor Health and 2) Diagnose and Investigate. These two services ensure that a community’s health assessment is accurate. Policy Development Actions Describe what has been done in general to address the issue (e.g. resources, facilities, organizations). Locate scholarly sources from the Ashford University Library to help you address what has already been done to address the issue. Describe what has been done specifically in the community/city/town/state your team is researching to address this issue (e.g., programs and interventions or the creation of organizations to address the issue). Existing Policies. Analyze the policies that currently exist to resolve the problem. For example: seatbelts were required by car manufacturers to reduce injuries and deaths from car accidents. Policy Development. Discuss new policies that should or could be developed to better address the issue. For example: some communities do not fluoridate their water systems and developing such a policy could help reduce dental caries. Identify Stakeholders and potential facilitators. Are there leaders and/or organizations within this community that can be identified and assist with the policy development? Who are they and why would you specifically select them? Explain how the three essential services that fall into the Policy Development category are applied to your health problem: 3) Inform, Educate and Empower; 4) Mobilize Community Partnerships; and 5) Develop Policies. PowerPoint Presentation #2 Assurance Activities : Now that the assessment and policy development actions have been outlined, provide assurances to the affected community that what has been or will be done will be effective and sustaining. With each of the four essential services associated with assurance, analyze how these factors will be applied to the selected health problem for this population. The key terms in eac.

Overview: As a healthcare professional driven to advocacy, you must be aware of the disparities of healthcare systems within and across borders. In this module, you examined globally emerging health issues such as global health threats, infectious diseases, and human trafficking. These emerging health issues require a focus on prevention and an understanding of the best practices for the treatment of the affected vulnerable populations. Prompt: In this milestone, you will analyze the major health issues in the country you chose for Final Project One. ( Country Chosen :United Kingdom ) To begin your health study, summarize the three major health issues identified in the country you selected, including the economic, social, and cultural factors influencing the health issue. Describe what the various stakeholders (government, other organizations, vulnerable populations, etc.) are currently doing to address the issues. Evaluate the current response to each issue as good, bad, or needing improvement, and then propose interventions for improving the health of a vulnerable population impacted by each issue. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: Health Study: Identify three major areas of health study within the country for your analysis. You should have a section for each topic in your country profile, and each section should address the following elements: Explain the significance and impact of the issue within the country, using your research as support. Identify the populations impacted most by the issue and explain how they are impacted. Include a consideration of why these populations are affected in your response. Assess the impact that social and cultural factors have on the populations vulnerable to the issue. Include in your assessment how these factors may affect the populations’ vulnerability to the issue. Assess the impact that economic factors have on the populations affected by the issue. Include in your assessment how these factors may affect the populations’ vulnerability to the issue. Assess the extent to which any current actions taken by organizations or governments are helping address the issue. If nothing is being done to address the issue, explain why. Determine the influence of major stakeholders and organizations—national and international—that play a role in the healthcare environment of the country. Recommend an intervention or improvement to an action and justify how it could help address the issue. Guidelines for Submission: Your paper must be submitted as a 3- to 5-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and at least three sources cited in APA format. .

Plate tectonics developed historically in 1915 when Alfred Wegener proposed his theory of "continental drift." He stated that the continents plowed through crust of ocean basins, which would explain why the outlines of many coastlines, such as South America and Africa, appeared to fit like missing pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. There are various types of plate boundaries such as: convergent plate boundaries, when two collide; divergent plate boundaries, when they spread apart; and transform boundaries, when they slide past each other. http://scecinfo.usc.edu/education/k12/learn/plate2.htm .

As computer and internet technologies have advanced and become more easily accessible across the world, we are seeing an explosion of social activists, government agencies and terrorists using these technologies to further their efforts. Government and non-government entities use the internet to spread propaganda and information, recruit support and demonize opponents. The efforts of some radical groups, like ISIS, to shut down US infrastructure and thwart military activity can clearly be labeled as cyberterrorism. However, some groups, such as the loosely associated international network of self-proclaimed “hacktivists” identified as Anonymous, are blurring the lines between what constitutes terrorism and what is simply social activism. As technology continues to advance and further our capabilities, we are continuously presented with new and intriguing moral questions. After reading the module notes and all of the supplemental materials, respond to the following: Briefly define cyberterrorism. Define hacktivism. Illustrate examples of each in current events within the last decade. What is the fundamental difference between these two? How has technology helped to advance these groups? How do you think our government’s response to such groups has changed our attitudes towards our own freedoms? In your opinion, do you think Hacktivism is justified or is it just a subset of cyberterrorism? Give some examples to support your stance. Support your position using appropriate sources that are properly cited. .

As cultural and literary scholar Louis Henry Gates claims, "Repetition and revision are fundamental to black artistic forms, from painting and sculpture to music and language use." This "Signifyin(g)" is a dynamic noted throughout hip-hop music because its foundation is rooted in "sampling" music that came before. But the content of rap also expresses a Black experience. Therefore, in your final response this week, discuss three significant subjects or themes that hip-hop artists Signify on in the African American literary tradition as they express their own notions of Blackness in lyrical rap music. .

As an African American male, social issues are some that seem to be a part of our everyday life at the time of birth. Whether it’s our skin being threatening towards other groups of society, police brutality, not receiving the same education, jobs, or housing as those of other cultures; it’s something that burned into our part of growing up and learning how to maneuver the world around us. Being that this is something that is thrown in our face time and time again, I would like to talk about the trust or lack thereof, between “professional helpers” and African American males. You must first stop and take a look at the deep roots of past and current events that lead to African Americans not trusting the help that’s provided by doctors, lawyers, therapists, etc. For example, historical adversity, which includes slavery, sharecropping, and race-based exclusion from health, educational, social, and economic resources, translates into socioeconomic disparities experienced by Black and African American people today. Socioeconomic status, in turn, is linked to mental health: People who are impoverished, homeless, incarcerated, or have substance use problems are at higher risk for poor mental health. Despite progress made over the years, racism continues to have an impact on the mental health of Black and African American people. Negative stereotypes and attitudes of rejection have decreased, but continue to occur with measurable, adverse consequences. Historical and contemporary instances of negative treatment have led to a mistrust of authorities, many of whom are not seen as having the best interests of Black and African Americans in mind. The culture from which many African Americans are raised, has a greater distrust of the medical helpers and medical offices alike, from the belief of racial bias. A great example is that of the Tuskegee experiment, where the abuses of slaves by white doctors, simply for the use of medical experimentation. There was no sense of consent or refusal from the African American participants to participate, just because of their lower level in society and the mass discrimination during that time. It’s those issues of the past, that resist black males from seeking the help they truly need, in order to bring them back to the feeling of self and self-worth; and to add a more recent impact, just look at the COVID vaccine, many are skeptical of receiving it, just because of what happens at Tuskegee. Despite progress made over the years, racism continues to have an impact on the mental health of Black and African American people. Negative stereotypes and attitudes of rejection have decreased, but continue to occur with measurable, adverse consequences. Historical and contemporary instances of negative treatment have led to a mistrust of authorities, many of whom are not seen as having the best interests of Black and African Americans in mind. Most importantly, one must be willing to understand how having a multicultu.

As a special education professional, it is important to be aware of how social and cultural influences can impact the assessment process. Lack of awareness can lead to charges of discrimination and possible litigation. Using support from the required readings, the Instructor Guidance, supplemental information derived from outside sources and your discussion, and information from the scenario below, you will (a) use information you have learned about Manuel to complete the Child Study Team Referral Form found in the Week Three Instructor Guidance , and (b) write a 3 page report with your recommendations for Tier Two RTI interventions that take Manuel's social and cultural background into account. Scenario: Manuel is becoming more and more listless in class and is still not doing well with his assignments. You have noticed though, that he seems to be making friends, as outside of class each morning you notice him joking and talking with a group of boys. They talk about BMX bikes and an online computer game that they all play. You are aware that some of the boys in that group are involved in the school robotics team and you begin to wonder how you could use his newly formed friendships and your insights into his interests to support his language arts skills. You and Mr. Franklin are also excited about a workshop you just attended with Dr. Janette Klingner who talked about how to realize the potential of RTI (Links to an external site.) (Klingner, J, 2011) with culturally and linguistically diverse learners. The Child Study Team has been doing diagnostic work to see if there are other variables within the classroom and/or school environment that may be affecting Manuel's performance. What the Child Study Team discovers is that Manuel feels embarrassed by his slow reading compared to his classmates and does not see the relevance of classes that are not related to his intended career goal, engineering. The team also notes that Manuel is able to write well, but he often does not finish in-class assignments and tests, and his homework written assignments are very short. The lack of length in his assignments consistently costs him points. When you talk to Manuel he shows pride when you compliment him on his bilingual ability and ask for his help in translating for a new student from Guatemala. Finally, the team becomes aware that Manuel does not want to be labeled "dumb" and is worried that he will be made fun of if he is pulled out of his regular classes for more intensive support. Manuel’s vision and hearing test were both are normal and his medical exam does not reveal any medical issues. As a member of the Child Study Team (CST) and taking into account Manuel's interests and the social and cultural influences that may be affecting Manuel's school performance, you and the CST are planning your next steps. You and Mr. Franklin discuss what interventions would take into account Manuel’s cultural and linguistic background. .

Article Title and Date of the Article The Economist “Insider dealing: euro outs fear that euro ins might do them down” October 17, 2015 Summary This article posted as a special news report by The Economist, is focused on the Eurozone and European Union, and how they are experiencing some problems that might hurt both the euro currency and relations with non-‐-‐-‐euro zone countries. At the moment, in Europe there are two types of observers: the Europhiles and Euroskeptics. The Europhiles are those who admire Europe and favor the participation of the European Union, while on the other side of the spectrum are the Euroskeptics, who are those who are opposed to increasing the powers of the European Union. Currently, the alarming political issue that has been growing in Europe is the negative relationship between those countries that belong to the European Union and Eurozone, against those who are members of the European Union but not the Eurozone. The argument here is that those members belonging to the Eurozone have been meeting together, while excluding non-‐-‐-‐Eurozone members and making decisions such as bails, which affect all countries within the European Union. The Eurozone countries believe that that only those countries that are members of the Eurozone should be allowed to voice their opinions and make decisions on everything regarding the euro, since they are the ones directly affected by it. On the other hand, the non-‐-‐-‐Eurozone countries feel like the euro members are “ganging up” on them, meaning that they feel like those countries in the Eurozone are making decisions regarding their own interests, and not the collective interests of all members of the European Union. Association to specific chapter material and concepts 2.4 A Single Currency for Europe: The Euro (40) Chapter 2 discusses the global financial environment including the European Union, the Euro.

Article The Effects of Color on the Moods of College Students Sevinc Kurt1 and Kelechi Kingsley Osueke2 Abstract This research aims to discover the psychological effects of colors on individuals, using the students’ union complex in a university campus. This building was chosen due to its richness in color variances. The research method is survey, and questionnaires were drawn up and distributed to an even range of students, comprising both international and local students; undergraduate and graduate. Questionnaires have been collected and analyzed to find out the effects different colors had on students’ moods in different spaces of the students’ union complex. This research would contribute to understand more about colors and how they affect our feelings and therefore to make better decisions and increase the use of spaces when choosing colors for different spaces to suit the purpose for which they are designed. Keywords color, mood, architectural space Introduction We live in a world of color (Huchendorf, 2007, p. 1). According to the various researches, the color that surrounds us in our daily lives has a profound effect on our mood and on our behavior (e.g., Babin, Hardesty, & Suter, 2003; Kwallek, Lewis, & Robbins, 1988; Kwallek, Woodson, Lewis, & Sales, 1997; Rosenstein, 1985). In clothing, interiors, landscape, and even natural light, a color can change our mood from sad to happy, from confusion to intelligence, from fear to confidence. It can actually be used to “level out” emotions or to create different moods (Aves & Aves, 1994, p. 120). The design of an environment through a variety of means such as temperature, sounds, layout, lighting, and colors can stimulate perceptual and emotional responses in consumers and affect their behavior (Kotler, 1973 in Yildirim, Akalinbaskaya, & Hidayetoglu, 2007, p. 3233). Therefore, it may follow that if we could measure it, we may get a clue as to how our mood varies when in any enclosed space. The ambiance of the interior space affects the users’ behaviors and perception of that place by influencing their emotional situation. In this context, it is believed that the various physical components including light and color have a great importance on the environmental characteristics of space, especially in public use like students’ union centers. Hence, using the appropriate color in design is important in such buildings. It is also significant to draw cognitive map and way finding in interiors. Environmental interventions that promote way finding can be implemented on two levels: the design of the floor plan typology and environmental cues, which comprise signage, furnishings, lighting, colors, and so on. Vivid color coding may enhance short-term memory and improve functional ability (Cernin, Keller, & Stoner, 2003). So the use of color is one of the crucial elements in designing the appropriate circulation of public interiors. Furtherm.

Art museums and art galleries are two different types of entities. The primary difference is that while one goes to an art museum to view art and learn about art from an educational or cultural experience; one goes to an art gallery to view art, discover new artists, possibly from the perspective of purchasing the art. Most museums are funded by governments, foundations, and corporate and private donors, and they are operated on a non-for-profit basis. Galleries seek to make profit and gain exposure for themselves and the artists they represent.Art galleries, are usually small businesses or centers that exhibit art for the purposes of promoting and selling art. One would typically visit an art gallery to discover an artist, possibly with an interest in buying the art. Art museums, on the other hand, are larger and are intended for education and cultural experiences. One would typically visit an art museum to view and study its permanent collection or to visit a touring exhibit of works on loan from another museum or institution.

As a clinical social worker it is important to understand group typology in order to choose the appropriate group method for a specific population or problem. Each type of group has its own approach and purpose. Two of the more frequently used types of groups are task groups and intervention groups. For this Assignment, review the “Cortez Multimedia” case study, and identify a target behavior or issue that needs to be ameliorated, decreased, or increased. In a 2- to 4-page report, complete the following: Choose either a treatment group or task group as your intervention for Paula Cortez. Identify the model of treatment group (i.e., support, education, teams, or treatment conferences). Using the typologies described in the Toseland & Rivas (2017) piece, describe the characteristics of your group. For instance, if you choose a treatment group that is a support group, what would be the purpose, leadership, focus, bond, composition, and communication? Include the advantages and disadvantages of using this type of group as an intervention. REQUIRED resource for assignment A Meeting of an Interdisciplinary Team Paula has just been involuntarily hospitalized and placed on the psychiatric unit, for a minimum of 72 hours, for observation. Paula was deemed a suicidal risk after an assessment was completed by the social worker. The social worker observed that Paula appeared to be rapidly decompensating, potentially placing herself and her pregnancy at risk. Paula just recently announced to the social worker that she is pregnant. She has been unsure whether she wanted to continue the pregnancy or terminate. Paula also told the social worker she is fearful of the father of the baby, and she is convinced he will try to hurt her. He has started to harass, stalk, and threaten her at all hours of the day. Paula began to exhibit increased paranoia and reported she started smoking again to calm her nerves. She also stated she stopped taking her psychiatric medications and has been skipping some of her HIV medications. The following is an interdisciplinary team meeting being held in a conference room at the hospital. Several members of Paula’s team (HIV doctor, psychiatrist, social worker, and OB nurse) have gathered to discuss the precipitating factors to this hospitalization. The intent is to craft a plan of action to address Paula's noncompliance with her medications, increased paranoia, and the pregnancy. Click one the above images to begin the conversation. Physician Dialogue 1 Paula is a complicated patient, and she presents with a complicated situation. She is HIV positive, has Hepatitis C, and multiple foot ulcers that can be debilitating at times.

arts Article Circling Round Vitruvius, Linear Perspective, and the Design of Roman Wall Painting Jocelyn Penny Small † Department of Art History, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, USA; [email protected] † Mail: 890 West End Avenue, Apartment 4C, New York, NY 10025-3520, USA. Received: 1 April 2019; Accepted: 2 September 2019; Published: 14 September 2019 �� Abstract: Many scholars believe that linear perspective existed in classical antiquity, but a fresh examination of two key texts in Vitruvius shows that 1.2.2 is about modularity and symmetria, while 7.Pr.11 describes shading (skiagraphia). Moreover, these new interpretations are firmly based on the classical understanding of optics and the history of painting (e.g., Pliny the Elder). A third text (Philostratus, Imagines 1.4.2) suggests that the design of Roman wall painting depends on concentric circles. Philostratus’ system is then used to successfully make facsimiles of five walls, representing Styles II, III, and IV of Roman wall painting. Hence, linear perspective and its relatives, such as Panofsky’s vanishing vertical axis, should not be imposed retrospectively where they never existed. Keywords: linear perspective; skenographia; skiagraphia; Greek and Roman painting; Roman fresco; Vitruvius; Philostratus Two systems for designing Pompeian wall paintings have dominated modern scholarship: a one- or center-point perspective and a vanishing vertical axis.1 Neither method works for all the variations seen on the walls of Styles II–IV. The vanishing vertical axis is considered a precursor of linear perspective, whereas center-point construction is a form of linear perspective. Many scholars believe that linear perspective was invented by the Greeks, only to be forgotten during the Middle Ages and “reinvented” in the Renaissance.2 In contrast, I propose that linear perspective was not known in any form in antiquity but, rather, was an invention of the Renaissance, which also created its putative ancient pedigree. 1. Background 1.1. Definitions First, it is important to define four key terms. “Perspective” applies loosely to a wide range of systems that convert a three-dimensional scene to two dimensions. Most scholars, however, mean “linear perspective” when they use the unqualified term “perspective”. No standard definition exists for linear perspective, but only linear perspective obeys the rules of projective geometry. Formal definitions refer to “station points” (the point or place for the “eye” of the “viewer” and/or “artist”), vanishing points, horizon lines, and picture planes, among other aspects. Horizontal lines converge to the “center point” or, in the case of 1 This topic is remarkably complex with a massive bibliography. Small (2013) provides a reasonable summary of the scholarship to its date of publication. Since then, I have realized that the standard interpretations of key texts and objects needs to be totally rethought. This artic.
