Consider how you view your own privacy and the expectations surrounding it will significantly impact your view of the morality and even legality of the NSA’s domestic surveillance program.

Consider how you view your own privacy and the expectations surrounding it will significantly impact your view of the morality and even legality of the NSA’s domestic surveillance program. In regards to NSA’s legal reasoning underlying the program. As the Supreme Court in Smith v. Maryland (1979) made clear: obtaining metadata from a third-party provider who, in turn, received that information with consent from the user does not create a Fourth Amendment violation as there was no “legitimate expectation of privacy”. Setting aside your view of Ed Snowden’s access in illegally confirming the existence of the program, explain what is your view of the policy and legal parameters of the NSA’s collection and use of metadata? Do you view yourself as having suffered any harm? If so, can you articulate what that might be? Where, if at all, did NSA cross the line with its program? How would you have suggested it do so differently?

Using the Internet, research insertion sort, which is one of the other sorting techniques.

Prepare a written and applied paper, to include the following:

1. Please create a file-merging program similar to the Merging Sequential Files section.
2. Using the Internet, research insertion sort, which is one of the other sorting techniques.
• Create an algorithm to implement an insertion sort.
3. Research methods for sorting data files and provide a brief report discussing the different sorting options that can be used. Include your response to the following:
• Suppose a large hospital hires you to write a program that displays lists of potential organ recipients. The hospital’s doctors will consult this list if they have an organ that can be transplanted. The hospital administrators instruct you to sort potential recipients by last name and display them sequentially in alphabetical order. If more than 10 patients are waiting for a particular organ, the first 10 patients are displayed; a doctor can either select one of these or move on to view the next set of 10 patients. You worry that this system gives an unfair advantage to patients with last names that start with A, B, C, and D. Should you write and install the program? If you do not, many transplant opportunities will be missed while the hospital searches for another programmer to write the program. Are there different criteria you would want to use to sort the patients?

Requirements:
• Prepare a quality, substantive paper that addresses the objectives of the assignment and the expectations set forth in the grading rubric.
• A minimum of 1100 words excluding the title page and references is required.
• Use APA style
• A minimum of 3 sources of credible evidence in addition to course resources that have been published within the past 5 years is required.

Research Paper Revision

“Research Paper Feedback.” Please also addressed these points that have been mentioned by the professor. “1. Timeframe – your thesis suggests that distribution of power and polarity matters for solving the world’s problems, but throughout the paper, you have not actually stated at what points you think the world is unipolar and/or multi/bi-polar. This becomes problematic when discussing the US’ position on climate change or nuclear proliferation – you hop around time periods without clarifying polarity and its impact. Fixing this may require some re-organization – you need to focus on when was the US hegemonic and when did that end; and how did that affect its position on these two crucial issues (climate and nukes)? Another way to think of this is whether the distribution of power in the world was substantially different during the Kyoto negotiations as they were during the Paris negotiations. ‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌2. You need to clarify and delve more deeply into the UN position during these negotiations; who was leading on Kyoto or Paris, and how did the US participate in these negotiations? 3. You seem to suggest at times that the beliefs of the US President/domestic ideology matter more than polarity – if the willingness of the US to solve these problems is more highly related to who is President than the distribution of power, perhaps that is more important? If this is not the case, you need to show how polarity affects all US administrations regardless of their beliefs. So, even if Biden is more committed to fighting climate change than Trump or Bush, they both faced a multipolar system that may have restricted their ability to solve these problems. 4. Identify clearly, at the outset, your main takeaways – once a reader has read the work, what are the three basic points you want them to know. You should be able to do this in a few sentences.” As a result, you should address two things: First, please address the issues which have been mentioned in the file I have attached. Second, please write what the professor recommended. Thank you ever so much‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌. Sincerely,

Organizational Behavior Discussion

Choose a theory of motivation that you believe best explains what is happening at the Kohler plant (make sure to read about all of the theories in the chapter and choose the most appropriate one- hint: some theories do NOT apply so you want to do this carefully; I want to see evidence of your thinking and knowledge of the theories). Now explain what is happening at Kohler using the concepts and arguments from your chosen theory. Which concepts from your theory explain the employee’s response? Compare and contrast SAS’s and Instacart approaches against Kohler’s. How should gig companies (such as Instacart, Uber, etc) approach employee motivation?

These are 3 theories:

Prepare a 1,500 word (not including title page or references) academic paper in APA format that presents evidence for and application strategies around creating a program in the setting of your choice that addresses some sort of developmental concept you find fascinating.

Project Overview (Topic: Human Development)
Modules discussed: Biological Beginnings, Prenatal Development, Birth, Infancy)

Prepare a 1,500 word (not including title page or references) academic paper in APA format that presents evidence for and application strategies around creating a program in the setting of your choice that addresses some sort of developmental concept you find fascinating.

Introduction

This portfolio work project will allow you to present your findings academically and showcase your ability to design and implement a strategy that will benefit individuals and, hopefully, society in general.

Scenario

You could be an educator, a community leader, a business owner, a parent, or serving in any role where application developmental concepts can make lives better.

Your Role

In your role at the organization of your choice, you have been charged with understanding how people’s developmental stages can both hinder and aid in their experiences, and how to best utilize developmental principles related to those you serve. You may see that certain developmental principles are being violated are not properly understood by those who serve your community of interest. You must develop a program, protocol, a resource, or training that will lead to a genuine change in how individuals are served in the developmental context, within the community you want to serve.

Requirements

Use information from the material presented in this class, the Foothill College library, any additional credible resources like journal articles, university studies, non-profit organizations, and government resources to create an analysis and program design that includes the following:

Set the stage for your project at the societal level. Explain the macro or broader perspective of where your journey starts and what the issues are within the community you serve. In other words, what is the background of your population as it relates to this objective? Where is your group today versus generations prior regarding these principles? What is the setting for people today, and what are individuals up against at the societal level? What has been the emotional and personal cost been of this dynamic? How might society benefit from a program that addresses these concerns within the community you serve? Is it merely that certain costs would be avoided, or would this unleash new potentials for life and society?
For example, Common Core has been criticized for years for not being developmentally appropriate for younger learners, especially in the areas of literature and mathematics. Certain texts are being taught much earlier then they used to be, and many educators have expressed concern about introducing too mature literature at too young an age. Additionally, mathematics is taught differently now, and at earlier ages. Is this a developmental concern? What can you find out and what can be done about it?
Bring your topic to the individual level. Explain the micro or personal perspective of your topic. How does this impact the individual? What are some ways that society can help or hurt the individual concerning your topic? How do individuals today perceive themselves with these objectives? What are the potential struggles and limitations of individuals managing this process? What are the potential benefits to the individual if this objective was achieved? What is the long-term outlook for the individual concerning should a program like this work?
Detail the art and science behind what you would build? What are the developmental concepts, and how do these impact an individual’s mind, psychology, and personality? What are some of the main physiological limiters? What does science suggest regarding achieving these goals for the individual?
Detail the proven techniques from the literature?
Find a program that has implemented these findings or other strategies to impact people’s lives, attitudes, and behaviors. What have the challenges been for this program or group? What have the unforeseen impacts been of a program like this? No program is perfect, so what have the failures been? What further research needs to be done within these areas for your program to be maximized?
Explain the program you wish to develop, and how would it be unique to the population you hope to serve? For example, maybe there is a great program to model yours after for that has been developed in Texas, where there are different cultural and financial supports to something you would build in California. How might those challenges be dealt with?
Conclusion: end your paper with a compelling conclusion paragraph
These requirements serve as a form of rubric in the sense that if you address in detail, with credible sources, these concepts, you will receive full points. If you do not, you will receive partial or no credit for that section of the paper.

Deliverable Format

This is an academic paper. It should not be written in the first person.
APA format should be utilized. Pay particular attention to:
APA formatted title page, but this is not included in the total word count. (a running head and an abstract are not required)
Headings and subheadings should be utilized starting on page two.
References should be in APA style, including undoing hyperlinks for web addresses. At least five sources should be cited.
12 point, Times New Roman, Double-Spacing required
Word count (not including title page or references) is 1,500 at minimum.
Points will be removed for
writing in the first person
writing in anything other than APA format
missing the word count
not having the appropriate headings from the content listed above
not addressing the bulleted requirements above
Grammatical errors and poor transitions
Primary sources (i.e., academic journal articles and university papers) should be very well represented in your references, but other sources like websites and books can be used to support primary sources (.gov and .org or generally more reputable than .com sites).
TurnItIn.com will be utilized to review your paper for plagiarism and matches across the web. A certain amount of your paper will match other resources as you will likely cite or quote a resource. No more than 25% of a paper can match other work online, including your own previous work for other classes. In general, a highly scored paper with proper citations and quotations will have no more than 10% matches. A zero score will be given to papers with more than 50% match, and a 25%-50% matched paper will likely require a rewrite or reorganization to avoid receiving a zero.

Creditable Sources

Academic papers and peer-reviewed journal articles are the “gold standard,” but sometimes you need to venture beyond those works to get a current and more anecdotal account of phenomena.

Homelessness in the mentally ill population

N‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌UR 5215 Mental Health Systematic Review Paper Definition A systematic review paper is defined as a review of the evidence on a clearly formulated question that uses systematic and explicit methods to identify, select and critically appraise relevant primary research to extract and analyze data from the studies that are included in the review. It is a means of identifying evidence to inform our advanced nursing practice. Purpose: Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners have an increasing responsibility to focus on generating guidance and recommendations for practice excellence by reading systematic reviews. All healthcare professionals need to understand the principles of preparing such reviews to inform practice and improve systems. Here is a brief step-by-step explanation of the structure and principles of such a review: Steps in a systematic review Step 1: Framing questions for a review The problem to be addressed by the review should be specified in the form of clear, unambiguous and structured question before beginning the review work. Once the review questions have been set, modifications to the protocol should be allowed only if alternative ways of defining the populations, interventions, outcomes or study designs become apparent Step 2: Identifying relevant work The search for studies should be extensive. Multiple resources (both computerized and printed) should be searched. The study selection criteria should flow directly from the review questions and be specified a priori. Reasons for inclusion and exclusion should be recorded Step 3: Assessing the quality of studies Study quality assessment is relevant to every step of a review. Question formulation (Step 1) and study selection criteria (Step 2) should describe the minimum acceptable leve‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌l of design. Selected studies should be subjected to a more refined quality assessment by use of general critical appraisal guides and design-based quality checklists (Step 3). These detailed quality assessments will be used for exploring heterogeneity and informing decisions regarding suitability of meta-analysis (Step 4). In addition they help in assessing the strength of inferences and making recommendations for future research (Step 5) Step 4: Summarizing the evidence Data synthesis consists of tabulation of study characteristics, quality and effects as well as use of statistical methods for exploring differences between studies and combining their effects (meta-analysis). Exploration of heterogeneity and its sources should be planned in advance (Step 3). If an overall meta-analysis cannot be done, subgroup meta-analysis may be feasible Step 5: Interpreting the findings The issues highlighted in each of the four steps above should be met. The risk of publication bias and related biases should be explored. Exploration for heterogeneity should help determine whether the overall summary can be trusted, and, if not, the effects observed in high-quality studies should be used for generating inferences. Any recommendations should be graded by reference to the strengths and weaknesses of the evidence Step 6: Application of research into practice. The interpretation of results can be a single intervention, a policy or procedure or treatment modality to integrate into practice. Systematic Review Paper Assignment Identify a problem in the mental health field and formulate a question that will begin your systematic review of the literature on this topic. Paper will be 15-20 pages double-spaced in APA format. My topic is homelessness in the mentally-ill populati‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌on
