Policy advocacy is one of the key roles of human services professionals. It differs from advocating for clients in that it looks to inform those who are responsible for policy formation, such as politicians and leaders of large-scale organizations. Whether at a national, regional, or state level, policy advocacy efforts will have broad implications for how and when human services are delivered. In today’s world of diminished resources, policy advocacy can be the difference between being funded and not having the funds needed to help your clients. By engaging in opportunities with programs and organizations that receive federal or state funding, you may further support your advocacy effects and gain greater access to necessary resources. Post a brief description of two different human services organizations. Explain how the organizations you selected are involved in policy advocacy. Then, from each organization’s perspective, explain one benefit and one limitation of engaging in policy advocacy. Be specific and provide examples. For this Select and explore one human services organization from this week’s media presentation and one organization from your own area of interest (Mental health counseling) http://mym.cdn.laureate-media.com/2dett4d/Walden/HUMN/8150/01/mm/carousel/index.html .

In this course, you have learned that social policies are formulated to solve social problems considered important by a mass of voters, media, and political actors. Social policy is but one solution to the problem—not necessarily the most rational, effective, or socially just. Social policies are human creations and, as such, can be changed. In this paper you will analyze a social policy as a tool for social justice. Research one social welfare policy using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Analyze the policy and address the following: The social problem addressed by the policy What is/are the problem/s to be solved in the most fundamental terms? What is the history of the problem/s in the United States? What are the various theories about the causes of the problem/s? Based on this, what do you think is/are the most important causes/s of the problem/s? The policy objectives, value premises, expectation, and target populations Policy objectives—overt and covert objectives: What are the stated objectives of the policy? In your judgment, what are the covert objectives of the policy? What are the values underlying the policy objectives? What values are revealed by the overt and covert objectives? What did the policymakers expect would be the result of the policy? Target segments of the population at whom policy is aimed: Discuss the direct target of the policy in terms of size and other demographic characteristics. Who are the indirect targets of the policy? Effects of the policy Intended effects: What effects did the lawmakers intend? Unintended effects: What effects did the lawmakers not foresee?

CHE 329 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric Overview Older adults from the baby boomer generation now account for over one-fifth of the U.S. population. Many chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, chronic respiratory diseases, Alzheimer’s disease, and diabetes are the leading causes of death among older adults. With the shift from infectious diseases to chronic disease and degenerative illnesses, is the nation ready to assist older adults in living long and healthy lives? In this course, you have gleaned skills and techniques in analyzing public health policies and communicating social justice issues when assisting the aging population. For your final project, imagine you are working with a group of older adults facing a public health policy issue. You have been asked to advocate on behalf of this group by developing a policy brief to present to a representative of your state or a state with which you are familiar. You will need to identify the public health issue with the assistance of your population. Your next step would be to compose a public health policy brief explaining the purpose and significance of the public health policy issue and provide recommendations to a policy maker with potential solutions. The project is divided into three 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 One, Three, and Five. The final product will be submitted in Module Seven. This assessment addresses the following course outcomes:  Articulate relevant public health interests that reflect the social demographics of the aging population to elicit buy-in from policy makers  Analyze the benefits and limitations of public health policies and programs for determining how they impact the health of the aging population  Analyze social justice issues faced by particular aging populations for determining the factors impacting their well-being  Analyze competing perspectives on policies and programs for developing balanced recommendations to promote the well-being of aging populations Prompt Compose a 6- to 10-page policy brief addressed to a local policy maker regarding the public health issue you are advocating attention for on behalf of your selected population. Ensure that you use concise language and maintain a tight professional composition to elicit buy-in from the policy maker. Use 5 to 10 credible resources in your brief to support your claims. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: I. Background: In this section, you will concisely introduce your public health need, the affected aging population, and your policy of focus to the policy maker. Your background should be tightly composed to effectively address this professional audience. A.

Assignment 1: Analyzing a Social Policy In this course, you have learned that social policies are formulated to solve social problems considered important by a mass of voters, media, and political actors. Social policy is but one solution to the problem—not necessarily the most rational, effective, or socially just. Social policies are human creations and, as such, can be changed. In this paper you will analyze a social policy as a tool for social justice. Research one social welfare policy using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Analyze the policy and address the following: The social problem addressed by the policy What is/are the problem/s to be solved in the most fundamental terms? What is the history of the problem/s in the United States? What are the various theories about the causes of the problem/s? Based on this, what do you think is/are the most important causes/s of the problem/s? The policy objectives, value premises, expectation, and target populations Policy objectives—overt and covert objectives: What are the stated objectives of the policy? In your judgment, what are the covert objectives of the policy? What are the values underlying the policy objectives? What values are revealed by the overt and covert objectives? What did the policymakers expect would be the result of the policy? Target segments of the population at whom policy is aimed: Discuss the direct target of the policy in terms of size and other demographic characteristics. Who are the indirect targets of the policy? Effects of the policy Intended effects: What effects did the lawmakers intend? Unintended effects: What effects did the lawmakers not foresee? Distinguish between short-range (less than five years) and long-range (over five years) effects of the policy. Implications of the Policy Changes in the distribution of material resources: Are there any changes to the distribution of material resources, including income and other tangible benefits, as a result of the policy for direct or indirect target groups? Changes in distribution of services, rights, and statuses: Are there any changes in services, rights, or statuses as a result of the policy? Alternative Policies What alternative policy/policies would more effectively address the social problem discussed in the policy analysis while advancing social justice? Write a 4–6-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Make sure to include research in addition to the textbook from credible, scholarly sources.

The Tea Party movement that started in 2010 is considered by some political analysts as an example of a “grass roots” initiative by frustrated common citizens who seek to influence national policy. In 2011, the Occupy Wall Street movement came into prominence and was immediately compared to the Tea Party. For this discussion question you will take the identity of an analyst working for the Criminal Intelligence Bureau (CIB) of the Miami-Dade Police Department. Your Bureau commander has assigned you the task of analyzing these two political movements that are likely to protest during the upcoming DRNC event next year. Your analysis and recommendations will weigh heavily on your command staff’s policy formation as it pertains to these two particular political groups. For this discussion post, you must conduct your own research and cite at least three sources. Your report to the CIB Commander must be at least 500 words long, but no more than 1,000 words. As always, your response must be written at the graduate level and cited properly according to APA style guidelines. At a minimum, you are to address the following: Describe and analyze the Tea Party and the Occupy Wall Street movements and determine their underlying motives and their likely involvement in the upcoming DRNC event. How have these movements differed from other political movements in the past? How do the Tea Party and the Occupy Wall Street movement differ from one another? What policy recommendations do you make to the Miami-Dade Police Department command staff on how to deal with these two political movements during the upcoming DRNC? .

The Stroop Effect And Visual Perception Overview Write a 2-part assessment that discusses your experience with the Stroop Effect and concepts related to visual perception. This assessment should be a minimum of 4 pages long. One of the central hypotheses in psychology is the relationship between stimulus and response. Sight and language are two human abilities relevant to the hypothesis of stimulus and response. Your understanding of these two abilities will help you build up a concept of the neural basis of human behaviors interacting with the world. Show More By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: • Competency 2: Employ critical and creative thinking to evaluate problems, conflicts, and unresolved issues in the study of biological psychology. ▪ Discuss whether a person with dyslexia or a brain injury would have more or less trouble with completing the Stroop test. ▪ Discuss the results of the Stroop test. • Competency 3: Examine the research methodology and tools typically associated with the study of biological psychology. ▪ Explain the role of the anterior cingulate in audiovisual processing, and the symptoms of brain injury to this area. • Competency 4: Assess the important theories, paradigms, research findings, and conclusions in biological psychology. ▪ Define the problem of final integration of visual information. ▪ Discuss whether there is a problem with final integration of visual information. • Competency 6: Communicate effectively in a variety of formats. ▪ Write coherently to support a central idea with correct grammar, usage, and mechanics as expected of a psychology professional. ▪ Use APA style and format. Context Recent technologies employed in the study of the brain regions regulating speech are helping scientists better understand the neural basis of human behaviors interacting with the world. For example, MRI imaging studies are revealing other areas within the brain that may also play a role in language and reading. Another example is that both Broca's and Wernicke's areas are fundamental to speech ability, but the specific mechanism of how each plays into oral language is still unclear. This is still a new area that challenges psychologists, neurologists, and speech therapists. Humans use different parts of their brain to discriminate objects from people. In fact, we may have specialized neurons for recognizing faces. This relates to the main theme of this assessment: vision and visual perception. Many questions about human vision are unanswered. For example, different areas of the brain respond differently to visual recognition tasks, but how and why these areas cooperate to process visual information remains unclear. Another example: The visual cortex contains several layers, the functional roles of which are the subject of intense investigation. Questions include, .

the story of options and the development of the Black-Scholes formula is intertwined with the story of international financial markets and investment and global financial crisis. Although B-S was originally developed for pricing stock options, the formula that we have been using in class for currency options is virtually identical. Specifically, except for the Tr e − * term that discounts by the foreign interest rate, and of course the fact that the underlying asset is a foreign currency rather than a share of stock, the formulas are exactly the same. In addition to the development of the B-S formula, the video brings together many concepts that we have seen in class this semester, including (in no particular order): - Replicating portfolio and no-arbitrage pricing - Market efficiency vs. forecasting - Statistical methods for characterizing returns and measuring risk - Risk transfer role of derivatives and hedging - Derivatives trading and exchanges - International capital flows and investment - Currency crisis and contagion Besides these, the video also gives a great glimpse into the world of academic finance, the inner workings of financial markets and institutions, and the nature of financial crises. While you are watching, note the similarity between what got us into trouble back then and what got us into trouble today (e.g., excessive debt/leverage to fuel a property boom, underassessment of risk and/or overconfidence in our ability to deal with risk, government bailouts, etc.). Choose any five (5) of the bullet points above and discuss the topic further by describing what we learned in class about the topic and linking it to specific parts of the video in which it is mentioned or occurs. A two to three paragraph discussion for each point should suffice, totaling 2-3 pages single spaced for he entire assignment .

The St. Clare Hospital was founded in 1988. In the past few years, the revenues have dropped steadily to a point where CEO James Edwards is considering cost control to improve the organization’s bottom line. Mr. Edwards understands physicians play a critical role in controlling cost, but they do not have a great interest in cooperating with him to sustain the viability of the hospital. Mr. Edwards decides to hire Wendy Jones as the chief operating officer and empower her to cut costs for the hospital. The first measure taken by Ms. Jones is to outsource the interpretation of imaging readings and fire the radiologist Dr. Harris. By doing so, the hospital would save $160,000 per year. However, after two weeks, the hospital sees 18% inaccuracy rates in outsourced reading reports. The hospital might face legal liabilities from inaccurate readings. Mr. Edwards and Ms. Jones want to stay with the plan to control costs, but the physicians are furious. The medical director, Dr. Wiseman, gathers all staff physicians to a call for action. Write a four-to six-page double-spaced paper (excluding title and reference pages), addressing the following: Describe types of conflict identified in this case. Explain conflict management styles evidenced in this case. Propose a conflict resolution strategy to be used. Recommend strategies to reduce cost and legal liabilities. Including an introduction and conclusion paragraph, your paper must be four to six double-spaced pages (excluding title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style. Utilize a minimum of three scholarly and/or peer-reviewed sources, including the textbook, that were published within the last five years. .

The sound fixing and ranging layer in the ocean, or the SOFAR channel, is at a depth where the sound waves bend towards a region of minimum sound velocity due to refraction. This channeling of sound occurs because of the properties of sound and the temperature, and pressure differences at different depths in the ocean. There are many places where the sound waves can travel many thousands of meters without the signal losing significant energy. Keep in mind that the depth of the SOFAR channel varies with latitude. It is deepest in the subtropics and comes to the surface in high latitudes, where the sound propagates in the surface layer. Humans have taken advantage of this layer in many ways. One such use was the Acoustic Thermometry of Ocean Climate (ATOC) project. The U.S. Navy has an array of hydrophones, which were used in the past for deep ocean surveillance during the cold war, but have since been used for seismic monitoring, marine mammal monitoring, and for the ATOC project. In addition, before GPS , the SOFAR channel was used for locating ships and aircraft in distress as well as for tracking floats for the study of ocean currents. The use of the SOFAR channel is not without controversy. Respond to the following: Research the use of the SOFAR channel for military, research, and biological activities. Discuss why the use of SOFAR channel could be harmful to marine life. Be specific in your examples. .
