Walking and working surfaces pose some of the greatest hazards to people. This is especially true in the occupational setting where the uneven surfaces can range from sand and gravel to an elevated working platform.

After reading Chapter 27, look around your workplace or home at the various walking and working surfaces.

Do you consider your workplace or home to be hazardous? Discuss why you consider them a hazard. Share your evaluation, and compare it to your class members’ input.

STEP 2 RESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING:I had an incident where one of my workers was working at a site, and the ground had big pieces of gravel. they were walking and working on this for days, weeks, and months, but just that one time walking on the site, my employee had his ankle twist when walking on this surface, which caused him to have a broken ankle. We had lost time and medical bills, which made others weary of working on that surface. But after investigating it, there was nothing we could do to change the working and walking surface because it was our contractor’s lot. We just asked our employees to be careful and make sure they had adequately fitting boots on. So yes, this could be hazardous, but it just cannot be prevented at times.

Additional comments from 1:1 tutorial

• Overall surface level. Needs more depth, specifically from veterinary nursing point of view.
• Vocabulary too casual (use of words such as “cash”, not appropriate)
• Need to extend on knowledge and points.
• Too generalised. Could be writing about any profession, not veterinary nursing specifically. Needs to be more specific to veterinary nursing.
• USE T&L HANDBOOK TO GET FULL SCOPE OF LEARNING OUTCOMES.
• Grammar and punctuation needs to be corrected in some areas.
• Use veterinary specific terminology
• Evidence, evidence, evidence the learning outcomes (4 that have missed specifically)
• Need to show a deeper knowledge of veterinary nursing – not general (CPD etc..)

Write a short paper (one page) on how mixed messages are sent in the American socialization process concerning sex: On one hand, sex is portrayed as “natural” and something that everyone should feel comfortable with.

On the other hand, sex is presented as potentially “naughty” and something that has many uncertainties and fears associated with it. In your paper, provide examples of how you may have become aware of these inconsistencies—that sex is “healthy” on the one hand, but “dangerous” on the the other.

How have different social institutions been responsible for the messages you received concerning sex. Give examples.

In this assignment, you will be considering controversial interventions that, while some may have evidence supporting them, are not behavior analytic in nature and therefore, cannot be recommended by a BCBA.
Numerous controversial treatments are promoted for individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Almost all behavior analysts agree that these treatments lack sufficient empirical support. Some of these treatments include facilitated communication, sensory integration, hyperbaric oxygen chambers, elimination diets, chelation therapy, floortime, and more.

For this assignment, you will be given specific information on the controversial treatment you will be discussing. The procedure you will discuss is posted in the announcements section. You cannot choose your own procedure.

You will be writing about facilitated communication, a controversial treatment sometimes used with individuals with ASD. This is your assigned topic, and you must write about facilitated communication only. Any submissions on a different topic will automatically receive a 0 with no opportunity to resubmit.
Please take the time to carefully review the instructions and rubric for this assignment. These documents outline the expectations for formatting, content, and evaluation criteria.

have included some resources to help you get started on this topic. However,  strongly encourage you to conduct your own research to find scholarly articles and additional sources to support your arguments. These resources are just a starting point.
If you have any questions after reviewing the materials, please reach out for clarification. I’m looking forward to seeing your insights on this topic!

ETHICS CODE

Review “Section 3 – Responsibility to Clients and Stakeholders” in the Ethics Code for Behavior AnalystLinks to an external site..

There are many different professional roles that interact with death. It is important to note that from a French-Sociological perspective, death is viewed as a social event, the starting point of a ceremonial process whereby the dead person becomes an ancestor (Palgi & Abramovitch, 1984). Chan (1996) reports beliefs held by police offers can lead to a policing style that relies more on professional standards and legal requirements than sensitivity and understanding. Emotional engagement with families is not often a realistic expectation (Frewin et al. 2006).
According to Aaron (2000), there is an emotional aspect to the work that is required by police at the scene of a death. This is not because police fail to feel compassion, but they often lack the experience to enact their feelings through appropriate words and behaviors that will bring solace and comfort and be acceptable police behavior. (Henry 2004).
After reading this week’s required articles, consider your own experiences and viewpoints as you craft your post.

Please answer the following question:

What do you view as the main issue when considering cross-cultural perspectives in death and police work? Explain your answer in detail. Include thoughts on police culture, emotion work, and community engagement.

In your answer, include all essential elements in order to receive points:
2 citations [APA format] from each article that supports your critical thinking.

Demonstration of your own view, reinforced by a strong rationale that includes personal opinions.
A question you developed as a result of participating in a process of inquiry.

QUIZ:

In this week’s lecture, we hear from John Bellaimey, who explores the intertwined histories and cultures of Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam. Bellaimey provides insighst on cultural viewpoints and ways to define death.
In your answer for this week’s Chapter Response, please consider the following excerpts:
“Although death is fundamentally a biological fact, socially shaped ideas and assumptions create its meaning…People tend to view the world from a single perspective—their own—and to apply their own cultural criteria as benchmarks for judging the values of other communities.” [p.58]
“The concept of the death system is a helpful model for contemplating how death shapes the social order and, in turn, our individual lives. As a network of people, places, and times as well as objects and symbols, the death system affects our collective and personal relationships to mortality in many ways.” [169].
1. Watch this week’s lecture, “The Five Major World Religions”, taking notes throughout.
2. Read all required chapters.
3. Utilized gained knowledge to answer the following:
What stood out to you the most while watching this week’s lecture?

Download the database included on this Canvas tab and answer the following using Excel and/or Power BI:

1. Show the breakdown of hospital admissions by age, then by transportation method (admit type) and by gender for all patients. (Two different graphs; only two graphs). What kind of a hospital is this?

2. Show the relationship between age and LOS (length of stay) for all emergency admissions (Only one graph). Is there a difference between males and females? Perhaps the best way to show this is to use screenshots of your final graphs for each question. You can save them as either jpgs or pdfs.
