c)     Cultural competence

d)     Mental capacity and consent

Assignment question
Choosing any two of the above (I have chosen B and C but if you like you can chose any two of the above) areas from the above mandatory training list explain the ethical considerations and professional behaviours that an Occupational Therapist might consider working with the case scenario below (you must give equal consideration to both topics (approx. 500 words each however, introduction and conclusion).

Case scenario

A community Occupational Therapist is due to meet for the first time with a 67 year old Slovak lady Mrs Kristina Kostrova who has reduced mobility, fatigue and difficulty accessing the bathroom which is located on the first floor on a two bedroomed house.  More recently, concern has been raised by her family that she has become increasingly forgetful and had inadvertently left her gas cooker on whilst cooking.

Mrs Kostrova’s son and his wife have temporarily moved in with his mother along with their six year old twin daughters following being made homeless and are currently waiting for suitable housing for their own family

The change of home circumstances has resulted in increased stress being experienced by the family and the referral states that this is causing the son to shout more at the children which is affecting the children’s school work and confidence.  Also the son has shouted at his mother and physically threatened her. The cleanliness within the kitchen is becoming an issue according to both Mrs Kostrova’s son and daughter in-law.

A homeowner want to level a rear yard You visit the site

A homeowner want to level a rear yard. You visit the site and realize that the work will require the construction of an about 5-ft-tall retaining wall. Your subsurface exploration indicates that the soil in the yard is homogeneous medium to fine SAND with trace amounts of silt (USCS Classification SP) to a depth of 25 ft below ground surface. N-values suggest that the material is classified as NYC Building Code Class 3b material; groundwater was not encountered. Laboratory tests indicate that the sand has a moist unit weight of 122 pcf and an angle of internal friction of 33°.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
Size the retaining wall such that it has a geotechnical factor of safety against sliding and overturning of 1.5.

Assumptions
Assume a vertical surcharge of 300 psf is applied on the high side of the wall.

The wall foundation must bear 4 ft below the lowest grade for frost protection.

The stem of the wall must be a minimum of 12-inches thick.

The wall footing must be a minimum of 12-inches thick.

Ultimate friction factor for mass concrete against clean fine to medium SAND is 0.4.

Consider passive pressure in the analysis.

Lateral pressures due to the surcharge have a uniform distribution based on a pressure equal to 50 percent of the vertical pressure.

Unit weight of reinforced concrete is 150 pcf.

Assignment:

1) Produce an engineered-quality scaled drawing.

2) Include your calculations showing your assumptions, pressure diagrams and resultant forces.

3) What is the applied bearing pressure under the wall?

4) Is the applied pressure less than the Building Code allowable?

5) If passive pressure is discounted, what is the resulting factors of safety?

6) Provide a cover letter with your submittal.

NOTE: Your calculation must be on engineering paper, they must be neat and without scribbled correction.

Assignment 2: Developing Your Personal Financial Plan Due: Week 7 Points: 105 Skill(s) Being Assessed: Productivity

Criteria for Success: In this assignment, you will:
Create a budget for a financial plan using Excel to ensure that the financial information is organized, accurate, and complete.
Identify a personal savings goal and a time frame for reaching that goal.

Explain your choice of housing option in the context of how it will help you achieve your selected financial goal.
Align expenditures to reflect your selected financial goal.

Reflect on how creating a step-by-step and organized approach to the assignment helped you to adjust your financial priorities and financial plan.

What to submit/deliverables: Two completed templates: Assignment 2 Financial Plan Explanation Word Template and Assignment 2 Financial Plan Budget Excel Template.

What is the value of doing this assignment?

We all have financial goals—buying or renting a home, purchasing a car, paying off a loan, or saving up for a vacation. And it can be challenging to figure out exactly how to save toward these goals, given the numerous expenses of daily living. A financial plan helps you identify how you can reach your short-term and long-term goals, and leverage planning and organization strategies to make meaningful, incremental progress toward realizing these goals. This assignment gives you the opportunity to apply what you’ve learned about personal financial planning, productivity strategies, and the use of Excel to develop a personal financial plan aligned to your financial goals.

Your goal for this assignment is to: Build your productivity skill by creating a plan for reaching a specific financial goal within an identified time frame. You will use productivity strategies to break financial planning into manageable, organized steps, and you will use Excel to develop a realistic plan that is aligned to your financial goal and considers economic drivers, requirements, and resources.

Steps to complete: In Week 7, submit your assignment in BlackBoard by following these steps:

STEP 1:Review the following scenario for this assignment. Additionally, review the Assignment 2 Financial Plan Explanation Word Template and Assignment 2 Financial Plan Budget Excel Template.

Context: : Imagine that you are in a position where you need to move – this could be because of a change in job or dissatisfaction with your current living arrangement, or something else entirely. Besides needing to find different housing, you also want to begin saving for a specific financial goal.

Scenario:

Imagine that you are in a position where you need to move. This could be because of a change in job, dissatisfaction with your current living arrangement, or something else entirely. Besides needing to find different housing, you also want to begin saving for a specific financial goal.

You will use the Assignment 2 Financial Plan Budget Excel Template to create your financial plan and budget table. You will use the Assignment 2 Financial Plan Explanation Word Template to answer the questions related to your financial goals and plan.

STEP 2: Think through the productivity strategies you have learned in your coursework. Make a plan for how you will break down creating your financial plan into smaller steps to help you stay organized and be productive.

STEP 3: Identify an annual income as a starting point for your financial plan. Also, insert the value in the budget table at the top of the Excel template as needed. Use an annual income value that you feel comfortable using for this assignment. You may use one of the following:

The sample annual income of $50,000 provided in the template.

Your current annual income

The average/median income of a career field that you would like to be working in at some point in the future. Check out O*Net or CareerOneStop for more information on income for career fields you are interested in.

STEP 4: Identify a financial goal you would like to save towards. This can be a short-term (1-2 years) or long-term (3+ years) goal and determine how quickly you want to save for it (Question 2 in Template).
Select one of the following goals:

Firstly, create an emergency fund of $1000

Secondly, save up for a vacation that will cost $2000

Thirdly, save up to buy a $15,000 vehicle

Fourthly, save for a down payment of $40,000 to buy a house

Finally, save $50,000 for education (personal, child, family, etc.)

STEP 5: For the goal selected, set a time frame for reaching that goal (1 to 10 years is the recommended range)

(Question 3 in Template). Explain why that time frame is realistic to achieve your goal.

Remember a good start to figuring out how much to save for your plan would be to divide your goal by the number of years you plan to be saving for it.

Put this number into the “Savings” cell of the budget table in the Assignment 2 Financial Plan Budget Excel Template.

STEP 6: Select a new housing option and fill in the cost in the Budget table. Choose one of the following (Question 4 in Template):

Firstly, Rent a house for $15,000 per year
Secondly, Rent an apartment for $12,000 per year
Thirdly, Rent a room only for $9,000 per year

STEP 7: Fill in the other dollar expenditures in the budget table of the Assignment 2 Financial Plan Budget Excel Template, according to your preferences. Use the entire $50,000 (or whatever value you used for your annual income).

STEP 8: Use formulas to calculate the sum for your “Total” cell of the “Dollars” column. Moreover, to fill in the “Percent” column of the budget table.

STEP 9: In the Assignment 2 Financial Plan Explanation Word Template. Further, , identify the savings goal and the time frame you determined for reaching your goal. Why is the time frame you identified realistic?

STEP 10: Explain why you chose the housing option you did and how it will help you achieve your selected financial goal.

STEP 11: Explain your choices for non-rent expenditures. Moreover, how they will help achieve your savings goal within the time frame. In other words, how do your expenditures align with the financial goal you selected?

STEP 12: Reflect on the productivity strategies you used to break down your financial plan into smaller steps to help you stay organized and productive. How closely did you follow the plan you thought through in Step 2 on these instructions? How did a step-by-step and organized approach help you to adjust your financial priorities and financial plan?

STEP 13: After completing all questions in the Assignment 2 Financial Plan Explanation Word Template. Also, the budget table in the Assignment 2 Financial Plan Budget Excel Template, save your responses. You should have two files, which you will title as indicated below:

Word file: Your Name, ECO110_Assignment 2 Financial Plan Explanation.

THE REQUERIMIENTO (1513)

When Columbus landed in the New World in 1492, he found many “naked people”, and remarked in his journal that “they should be good and intelligent servants” and “would become Christians very easily”. He was mistaken, and the Spanish struggled for hundreds of years to subjugate and convert the indigenous people of the Americas. When they did not cooperate, they were often either slaughtered and maimed, or enslaved to work for the Spanish colonists. King Ferdinand, receiving firsthand accounts of the barbaric ways these people were treat, legitimize Spain’s actions in the eyes of the church and the Pope. The Requerimiento was one of these attempts.

Project #2: Security Strategy Implementation Recommendations for Sifers-Grayson

Overview:
Now that the After Action Reports have been analyzed, the consultants must develop a plan for improving the security posture at Sifers-Grayson. This will be documented in a Security Strategy Recommendations document. The security strategy will be based upon multiple layers of policies, processes, and technologies that, when implemented, will be used to defend the Information Technology enterprise from both internal and external threats and attacks.

Note: see https://www.techrepublic.com/blog/it-security/understanding-layered-security-and-defense-in-depth/ for a discussion of the differences between these two security strategies: layered security also defense-in-depth. Also, you will need this information for the Security Strategies section of your paper.

Two defensive security strategies have been chosen by the senior members of the team.
1. Defense Strategy #1: Build a DMZ for the R&D Center. The DMZ will host servers accessed by the engineers while teleworking and also while reaching back to the R&D center from the test range. The DMZ will require the following: (a) business class routers, (b) business class firewalls, and (c) intrusion detection and prevention system.
Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). For definitions and diagrams see https://www.us-cert.gov/ics/Control_System_Security_DMZ-Definition.html and https://fedvte.usalearning.gov/courses/Security+_v401/course/videos/pdf/Security+_v401_D02_S04_T04_STEP.pdf

2. Defense Strategy #2:

Implement Enterprise-wide Protective and Detective Measures to defend against both internal and external attackers. These measures will include (a) controlling access to software documentation and source code, (b) implementing enterprise-wide identity management, and (c) implementing either a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tool or a Unified Threat Management (UTM) tool.

Your Task:

Firstly, you have been assigned to research products which will be used to implement the two Defense Strategies. You will need to research suitable products and then write a report recommending a set of products and services which can be used to implement the selected strategies. Additionally, your report will include summary information and explanations about defense in depth and the two selected strategies.

Note: You may need to do additional reading and also research to find the information required to support your explanations of defense in depth and the selected defense strategies. Also, make sure that you cite authoritative sources for this information.

Product Research:

1. Products to Implement Defense Strategy #1 (Build a DMZ for the R&D Center). You must choose one product for each of the following categories (router, firewall, intrusion detection and prevention).

1960S TRAVEL FICTION AND ENGLISHNESS DURING THE POSTIMPERIAL TURN by Matthew J. Hurwitz
University of New Hampshire, May, 2012
British travel writing has for centuries helped to construct English identity in relation
to its others.

The traditional function of travel narratives to define Englishness, however,
faced a fundamental crisis of meaning when the British Empire starting falling apart after
WWII. This crisis emerged as an explicit literary subject in several key 1960s novels:
John Fowles’s The Magus (1965), V. S. Naipaul’s The Mimic Men (1967), and Jean
Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea (1966). In these three novels, Fowles, Naipaul and Rhys
critique British imperialism by engaging and reinventing the travel narrative form.

Although many British writers publishing during the 60s were using travel tropes and the
generic conventions of travel narratives in their fiction, they were rarely doing so to
question how the connotations of travel had changed with the end of empire or to
investigate in self-critical fashion the role of travel in endorsing imperial versions of
English national identity.

More details;

The United States spends much more on healthcare per capita than other wealthy countries—$10,384 vs. an average of $5,169, respectively, according to the Peterson-Kaiser Health System Tracker. Yet overall, health outcomes in the U.S. are worse than in other wealthy countries. For instance, the U.S. sadly boasts the highest rates of medical error, disease burden, and death amenable to healthcare. The promising news? Healthcare innovators seeking to address America’s crisis of care cost and quality are increasingly adopting value-based payment models. Which are an important step toward solving the problem.

In contrast to the predominant fee-for-service model, in which payers reimburse providers a fixed fee for each service they provide from an approved list, value-based payment (VBP) models hold providers financially accountable for both the cost and the quality of care they deliver. VBPs reward providers financially for delivering better, more cost-effective care, and can penalize them for failing to do so.

Value-based payment models come in different flavors, varying in the level of provider accountability they entail. The level of payment a provider receives is tied to cost and quality targets, which may be developed and imposed by government agencies such as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, state health departments, and/or health systems themselves. These targets ensure that providers do not cut costs at the expense of patient outcomes. Examples of quality measures include post-hospitalization readmission rates, provider-to-patient ratios, and percentage of patients receiving preventative care (such as immunizations).

Nuclear Fusion Power

(Updated July 2020)

  • Fusion power offers the prospect of an almost inexhaustible source of energy for future generations, but it also presents so far insurmountable engineering challenges.
  • The fundamental challenge is to achieve a rate of heat emitted by a fusion plasma that exceeds the rate of energy injected into the plasma.
  • The main hope is centred on tokamak reactors and stellarators which confine a deuterium-tritium plasma magnetically.

Today, many countries take part in fusion research to some extent, led by the European Union, the USA, Russia and Japan, with vigorous programs also underway in China, Brazil, Canada, and Korea. Initially, fusion research in the USA and USSR was linked to atomic weapons development, and it remained classified until the 1958 Atoms for Peace conference in Geneva. Following a breakthrough at the Soviet tokamak, fusion research became ‘big science’ in the 1970s. But the cost and complexity of the devices involved increased to the point where international co-operation was the only way forward.
