Furness and Gilligan (2010) stated, “There is a growing body of literature written predominantly for health professionals and more recently for social workers about the importance of developing and incorporating cultural and spiritual sensitivity and awareness in their work with others” (p. 2187). Spirituality, which may or may not include involvement with an established religion, contributes to human diversity and influences human behavior. An individual’s spirituality may be an important factor in his or her social environment. As a social worker, your awareness of a client’s spirituality may help increase your understanding of the client and his or her needs.

Sensitivity to and respect for your client’s spiritual dimension reflects your appreciation of diversity. As you consider the potential impact of your clients’ spirituality on their perspectives and behavior, you must also consider how your spirituality might influence your interactions with a client.

For this Discussion, you consider the impact of spirituality on your interactions with clients.

Post a Discussion in which you explain how considerations about clients’ worldviews, including their spirituality or religious convictions, might affect your interactions with them. Provide at least two specific examples. In addition, explain one way your own spirituality or religious convictions might support your work with a client, and one barrier it might present. Finally, share one strategy for applying an awareness of spirituality to social work practice in general.

Research Paper: 

For this assignment, review the article:

Abomhara, M., & Koien, G.M. (2015). Cyber security and the internet of things: Vulnerabilities, threats, intruders, and attacks. Journal of Cyber Security, 4, 65-88. Doi: 10.13052/jcsm2245-1439.414

and evaluate it in 3 pages (800 words), using your own words, by addressing the following:

  • What did the authors investigate, and in general how did they do so?
  • Identify the hypothesis or question being tested
  • Summarize the overall article.
  • Identify the conclusions of the authors
  • Indicate whether or not you think the data support their conclusions/hypothesis
  • Consider alternative explanations for the results
  • Provide any additional comments pertaining to other approaches to testing their hypothesis (logical follow-up studies to build on, confirm or refute the conclusions)
  • The relevance or importance of the study
  • The appropriateness of the experimental design

When you write your evaluation, be brief and concise, this is not meant to be an essay but an objective evaluation that one can read very easily and quickly. Also, you should include a complete reference (title, authors, journal, issue, pages) you turn in your evaluation. This is good practice for your literature review, which you’ll be completing during the dissertation process.

Prof. Guidelines

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

  • Be approximately five pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page. (Remember, APA is double spaced)
  • Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
  • Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.
  • Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

In order to make decisions about the value of any research study for practice, it is important to understand the general processes involved in analyzing research data. By now, you have examined enough research studies to be aware that there are some common ways that data are reported and summarized in research studies. For example, the sample is often described by numbers of participants and by certain characteristics of those participants that help us determine how representative the sample is of a population. The information about the sample is commonly reported in tables and graphs, making use of frequency distributions, measures of central tendency, and dispersion. Information about the variables (or concepts) of interest when quantified are also reported in similar manner.

Although the actual data analysis takes place after data have been collected, from the initial planning of a research study, the researcher needs to have an awareness of the types of questions that can be answered by particular data analysis techniques.

For this Discussion, review the case study entitled “Social Work Research: Measuring Group Success.” Consider the data analysis described in that case. Recall the information presented in the earlier chapters of your text about formulating research questions to inform a hypotheses or open-ended exploration of an issue.

Post an explanation of the types of descriptive and/or inferential statistics you might use to analyze the data gathered in the case study. Also explain how the statistics you identify can guide you in evaluating the applicability of the study’s findings for your own practice as a social worker. Please use the resources to support your answer.

Discussion Question: 

Physical Security and Threats

Many business environments have both visible and invisible physical security controls. You see them at the post office, at the corner store, and in certain areas of your own computing environment. They are so pervasive that some people choose where they live based on their presence, as in gated access communities or secure apartment complexes. Alison is a security analyst for a major technology corporation that specializes in data management. This company includes an in house security staff (guards, administrators, and so on) that is capable of handling physical security breaches. Brad experienced an intrusion—into his personal vehicle in the company parking lot. He asks Alison whether she observed or recorded anyone breaking into and entering his vehicle, but this is a personal item and not a company possession, and she has no control or regulation over damage to employee assets. This is understandably unnerving for Brad, but he understands that she’s protecting the business and not his belongings.

When or where would you think it would be necessary to implement security measures for both?

In this part of the course project, you will analyze a past project you have worked on. Think back to a project that’s now completed. It can be one for which you yourself were the project manager, or one in which you were a contributor. By remembering back to assess what the risks might have been, and why they were present, and analyzing the outcomes, you will be better positioned to assess risk the next time it presents itself.

“Assessing, Managing, and Mitigating Risk” Course Project

 

Part One: Assessing Risk

 

In this part of the course project, you will analyze a past project you have worked on. Think back to a project that’s now completed. It can be one for which you yourself were the project manager, or one in which you were a contributor. By remembering back to assess what the risks might have been, and why they were present, and analyzing the outcomes, you will be better positioned to assess risk the next time it presents itself.

 

Answer the following questions, using as much space as you need.

 

1.    Looking back on this project, were there any risks that you did know about or should have known about at the beginning of the project?
When I was leading a clean room construction project at a pharmaceutical organization, one of the internal risks was related to structure. I assessed all possible risks. There are strict laws and policies enforced by the regulatory agencies to

 

2.    What were those risks?
 

 

3.    What were the leading indicators?
 

 

4.    What could you have done for contingency planning at the beginning?

 

 

 

 

5.    Did the risks come to fruition?
 

 

 

6.    What was the outcome in that case?
 

 

 

 

Part Two: Examining Risk

 

Now that you have had a chance to think about risk within a project-management context and to apply some of the strategies you have explored, you are ready to consider how the lessons and concepts presented in this module relate to your own work. Refer to a project that you are involved with currently and are very familiar with, or to a project you have worked on in the past that you understood well.

 

Answer the following questions, using as much space as you need.

 

1.    Brainstorm a list of the risks that you believe are present in this project (or that were present, if you are working with a past project). List them here.
 

 

2.    For each risk you have identified, assess the threat level in terms of both consequences and probability, as described in this module.
 

 

3.    How does your analysis of the risks affect your project scheduling?
 

 

 

4.    Describe your own risk attitude in response to the risks you’ve identified on this project.
 

 

 

5.    Describe the risk attitudes of other people who are (or who were) important to this project. How do you think others’ risk attitudes influenced outcomes?
 

 

 

 

Part Three: Applying Strategies to Mitigate Risk

 

Now you will consider applying strategies to mitigate risk. Consider the mitigations you could apply to this project and how they would change that project network.

 

Answer the following questions, using as much space as you need.

 

1.    For the risks that you identified on this project, what are some of the mitigations that you could have applied?
 

 

 

 

2.    How do you think your chosen mitigation strategies would have affected your project network?
 

 

 

 

 

3. Create an action plan for risk management by completing the following grid.
Key RisksIdentify the relevant risks facing your project.

 

 

 

 

StrategiesIdentify which strategies from the course you will use to assess, manage, and mitigate those risks. What will you do, or what will you recommend should be done?

 

 

StepsWhat are the specific actions you will take to assess, evaluate, and manage risk? Be as specific as you can in outlining your plans.

 

 

 

 

TimelineIdentify a timeline for implementation. What will you do (or will you have your team do) immediately?

 

 

 

Measurement/ResultsHow are you going to measure your results or demonstrate that your efforts have had a positive impact? Outline your measurement strategies here.

Week 3 – Discussion

No unread replies.No replies.

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

 Creativity and Innovation

Educators strive to create a classroom that instills creativity and innovation. In this discussion, you will think about the creative and innovative instructional approach known as the flipped classroom (Links to an external site.) while making direct connections to the Common Core State Standards and teacher decision-making based on student assessments. Reflecting on your previous discussion on CCSS (Links to an external site.) in Week Two, you will complete the three parts of this discussion’s initial post.

There are three parts to this discussion, which are described below.

Part 1

  • Discuss how the flipped classroom idea can be used in conjunction with CCSS (Math or English Language Arts)
  • Describe ways you could incorporate technology used in the flipped classroom idea to support the Framework for 21st Century Learning (Links to an external site.) in the classroom as it relates to decision making based on student assessments.

Part 2
Now, think about assessments you have created or used in the past to address the following:

  • Discuss if a school or teacher should use a multimedia resource that is absolutely amazing in delivering both content and assessment but is not accessible.
  • Evaluate whether the resource must be excluded from a course if there are no reasonably equivalent accessible alternatives.

Part 3

Guided Response: Respond to at least two peers. Your replies should include a question about the incorporation of CCSS and the Framework for 21st Century Learning in your peers’ posts and should offer an additional resource for consideration that supports an alternative viewpoint. Though two replies is the basic expectation, for deeper engagement and learning, you are encouraged to provide responses to any comments or questions others have given to you, including the instructor. Responding to the replies given to you will further the conversation and provide additional opportunities for you to demonstrate your content expertise, critical thinking, and real world experiences with this topic.
