Streptococcus Pyogenes

In this Case Assignment, you will conduct independent research to collect information and write a complete essay on one microorganism. You will also share basic information about your microbe in the Module 1 Discussion.
A bacterial species is a distinct organism with certain characteristic features, or a group of organisms that resemble one another closely. A bacterium is named according to its genus and species. An example of this is Escherichia coli (or E. coli for short). Escherichia is the “genus” and “coli” is the species. The genus Escherichia contains many different rod-shaped bacteria from the family Enterobacteriaceae, however the genus and species names together refer to a unique bacterium.
For this assignment, select a unique bacterial species (provide both the genus and species name). Your bacterium must fall under one of the listed genus categories below:
Bacillus
Escherichia
Staphylococcus
Pseudomonas
Streptococcus
Neisseria
Proteus
Case Assignment
Search scholarly articles published in peer-reviewed scientific sources to collect information on the topics listed in Table 1 below. Proper citations and references are required wherever appropriate. Google Scholar, Pubmed Central, and the Trident Online Library are recommended sites to begin your research.
In addition to learning about a specific bacterium, students will develop better conceptual understanding of key topics in microbiology while practicing skills in scientific inquiry such as information literacy and critical thinking.
The essay should include the complete name of your selected bacterium (both genus and species), staining characteristics of the bacterium, the morphology of the bacterial cell, special features, habitat, importance to humans, etc., as noted in the table below.
Table 1: List of topics to include in your essay based on your chosen microbe:
Introduction Provide an introduction to your essay.
Meaning of Microbe Name What do the Latin or Greek root words in the microbe’s name mean?
Discovery When was the microbe discovered and by whom?
Environment/Habitat Where is this microbe commonly found? What type of growth requirements does it have?
Morphology What does this microbe look like under a microscope? (Show a representative image.)
Identification What stains and tests are used to identify this microbe? Describe at least three methods used to identify the microbe in the lab.
Unusual Characteristics Does your microbe have any unique features or activity? (For example: structures that allow movement.) What distinguishes your microbe from others?
Growth Inhibitors What limits this microbe’s growth? (For example, drugs, type of environment, lack of certain nutrients, etc.)
Uses/Importance Is this microbe beneficial, neutral, or harmful? Explain why.
Conclusion Summarize the highlights of your research.

Explain how you can select and design assessments using the Behavior Analyst Certification Board’s (BACB’s) Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts, Code 2.13.

For this assignment, you are a board certified behavior analyst who has been consulting with six school districts in your state. You have provided guidance to school psychologists and have conducted FBAs and made recommendations to Individualized Education Program (IEP) teams regarding academic and behavior goals.
Recently, your state school board contacted you to thank you for the work you have been doing in the schools and to ask a favor. The members of the state school board recently read a peer-reviewed research article about the efficacy of training schoolteachers to conduct FBAs. The paper was convincing, and the board would like you to conduct training in not only how to conduct an FBA but also how to implement some basic behavior acquisition and reduction programs based on ABA principles. You agreed to conduct a 2-day workshop and begin preparations for the intensive training.
Create a 10- to 12-slide narrated PowerPoint presentation to include the following:
Explain why identifying function is so important to successful behavior intervention programs.
Base this on your Unit 9 reading assignment and present facts supporting the value of conducting FBAs in the public-school system and why it is important that teachers have the skills needed to conduct them.
To illustrate the importance of identifying the function of a target behavior before implementing a BIP, provide an example of a target behavior that is being inadvertently reinforced because the function of the behavior has not been identified.
Ethical Considerations for Assessments and Behavior-Change Interventions
Explain how you can select and design assessments using the Behavior Analyst Certification Board’s (BACB’s) Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts, Code 2.13.
Explain how you can select, design, and implement behavior-change interventions using the BACB’s Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts, Code 2.14.
Discuss the two components of the FBA, the indirect assessment and the direct descriptive assessment, and explain how they are carried out. Include the following in your discussion:
Describe two indirect assessment approaches/tools.
Describe two direct descriptive assessment approaches/tools.
Detail how the probable function of a target behavior can be hypothesized based upon the results of the FBA.
Define the two broad categories of behavior function.
Acquisition Programs: Shaping and Chaining
Define shaping and chaining. (Include the three types of chaining procedures in your discussion.)
Create a simple scenario in which a complex behavior can be broken down and trained using one of the chaining methods. Create a task analysis to illustrate the concept.
Using one of the components in the task analysis used for your chaining example, demonstrate how shaping can be used to train that one component.
Reduction Programs: Differential Reinforcement
Describe the methods of differential reinforcement of alternative (DRA) behavior; differential reinforcement of other (DRO) behavior; and differential reinforcement of incompatible (DRI) behavior.
Create a scenario in which you illustrate the use of one of the differential reinforcement approaches (DRA; DRO; DRI).
Generalization and Maintenance
Define generalization and maintenance.
Explain the importance of programming for generalization and maintenance.
Present three techniques that can be used to program for generalization.

Explain the steps in, and provide your rationale for, the antecedent-based BIP and the differential reinforcement BIP.

For this assignment, you are a board certified assistant behavior analyst (BCaBA). You have been working under the supervision of a board certified behavior analyst (BCBA) for 6 months, and your supervisor recently assigned you two cases and would like you to design a behavior intervention plan (BIP) for each. However, before he can authorize your behavior plans, you are required to present him with a report that includes the following:
Summary of each case study
Brief overview of the results of your FBA for each case that includes the identification and operational definition of the target behavior and the hypothesized function of the behavior
Proposed antecedent-based BIP for Scenario #1 and differential reinforcement BIP for Scenario #2
Explain the steps in, and provide your rationale for, the antecedent-based BIP and the differential reinforcement BIP.
Explain why you are qualified to work with these clients using the Behavior Analyst Certification Board’s (BACB’s) Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts, Codes 1.05 Practicing within Scope of Competence and 3.03 Accepting Clients.
One of the potential clients is Japanese American. Explain your obligations to this client using the BACB’s ethics codes: 1.07 Cultural Responsiveness and Diversity and 2.08 Communicating about Services. Discuss how you will fulfil these obligations.
Gift-giving in Japan is highly ritualistic and meaningful. What does the BACB ethics code 1.12 Giving and Receiving Gifts require? How can you avoid a conflict between your potential client’s cultural practices and your ethics code?
Scenario #1:
Koki is 4 years old. His grandparents came to the United States from Japan shortly after World War II. Koki, his parents, and his grandparents live together in an upper middle-class neighborhood. All adults in the family feel a strong responsibility to share in child rearing.
Koki is an energetic little boy! He loves to climb up onto the big, oversized armchair and jump as if he is on a trampoline. In fact, he often jumps from chair to couch and back to the chair again — over and over until he has worked up a sweat. Koki’s mother and grandmother have been trying to prepare him for kindergarten by teaching him his numbers and the alphabet, but he will not cooperate. Every time they try to sit him down at the table to work, he refuses to answer any of their questions. His grandmother will hold up a card with a letter on it and ask, “What is this letter, Koki?” But, he just runs to the chair and begins to jump. The same thing happens when his mother tries to work with him on his numbers and shapes. The family is worried that he will be totally unprepared for kindergarten and that would shame the family.
Scenario #2:
Mia is 16 years old. She is very popular and loves to talk on the phone with her many friends. In fact, she spends most of her time when she is not in school on her cell phone. Mia’s mother, Mrs. Peterson, recently had to return to work when her husband’s hours were cut at the local refinery. Mia has five younger siblings, and her mother is counting on her to help with her brothers and sisters and with some of the housework, such as loading the dishwasher, doing the laundry, and getting the children ready for school on weekday mornings. Mrs. Peterson has been working her new job for 3 weeks now, and Mia is not taking care of her responsibilities. When her mother comes home from work, the dishes are still in the sink, the laundry baskets are full, and she has received two notes from school about the children arriving late.
