DUE 1/22/21 BEFORE 6PM EASTERN TIME

Recently there has been an extensive amount of research into something called telomere, which is a short sequence of base pairs (DNA’s) that are found at the end of chromosomes. This short sequence repeats itself approximately 50-70 times and can be found at the end of the chromosomes found in human cells. There has been a push to isolate them on a person’s leukocytes because they are easy to isolate and locate within the body of these research subjects, but these can be found in other cells. 

The proposal as to the function of telomeres is that they were a timepiece for each person; which means that a telomere would drop off at predetermined intervals (maybe 1-2 yrs) and eventually when the telomeres ran out, the cell would either die or undergo the apoptosis process.  The telomeres would fall off when the cell produced an enzyme called telomerase.  Thus, researchers became fascinated by what appeared to be a biochemical process in direct control of cellular life and death, and that could potentially be in control of death of an organism such as a human.

If you can imagine that these scientists were science fiction writers, they would be dreaming about laboratories throughout the world that could assist their patients to live up to 150 years of age or even longer.  The potential for some kind of mediation allowing a person to live longer does appear to be a reality, but possibly not to the extent that many imagine.

Chapter 8 Scenario: Protecting Children’s Safety

Objective and scenario

To develop and evaluate an action plan for children’s safe use of a climbing structure on the playground.

You recently accepted a position as an assistant teacher at a large early childhood program in your local community after completing your degree and certification requirements. The head teacher suggested that you spend your first week as an observer so that you become familiar with the safety policies and procedures that teachers are expected to follow with the children. 
    One day while you are observing during outdoor time, you notice that several children are gathered around a 4-foot-high climbing dome located in one corner of the large playground. Two children have managed to climb up and are standing on top of the structure. Another child is throwing bark chips at the two children. There are no teachers present in the area.

Focus assignment

1. Prepare a one-page outline that identifies the typical developmental characteristics of three-to six-year-olds, safety concerns associated with this age group, and general measures that adults must take to protect children’s safety. Develop a set of safety rules for children to follow when playing on the climbing dome.
2. Be sure to read the REFLECTION section below to guide your thinking. Write your reflection response after you have completed your plan.

Self-evaluation

1. For each item in your action plan:
a. Explain how this item addresses the issues in the scenario.
.
2. Describe and justify how your action plan would improve teaching and learning in the scenario.

Security and Compliance-Related Policy Recommendations

/in /by

  Now, you will combine the growth projection analysis from the initial steps with an analysis of potential applications and workloads to create a list of cloud ready items. You will propose a list of applications and workloads for migration to educate the application and lines-of-business (LOB) owners affected by the cloud deployment and obtain their buy-in for the endeavor prior to implementation. You will also draft an updated service-level agreement (SLA) for these applications/workloads. 

 Review BallotOnline’s application and LOB data to analyze and identify the application/workload tiering/classification for cloud suitability based on the capacity, performance, and availability needs of each application/workload provided. You will also update the acceptable SLAs (RTOs and RPOs) in the cloud infrastructure for the top three business-critical applications identified in Step 1.

Before moving on to the next step, where you will consider issues of information security and compliance, discuss your criteria for “cloud readiness,” such as the acceptable latency range, amount of data storage capacity needed, Ethernet-based protocols, application topology, etc. with your BallotOnline colleagues in the Discussion: “Cloud Ready” Applications and Workload Classifications.

Cloud Ready

When moving to the cloud, the organization must assess the current applications and workloads to determine what will be migrated to the cloud, what apps to redesign, and which applications and workloads to maintain in the legacy system.

When an application or workload is considered “cloud ready,” it means it is a good candidate for cloud deployment.

Some of the criteria used for this classification include:

  • security
  • cost
  • performance
  • availability requirements

 BallotOnline must also keep its data compliant with regulatory policies and procedures.

In this step, consider the relevant information security and compliance issues related to the “cloud ready” application/workloads you have designated and define how they will be addressed in the policy addendum.

To make sure you are on the right track, Sophia has asked you for a list of the top information security and compliance-related issues related to the applications/workloads designated for migration and a note on how the policy addendum will address them. Submit your notes to the dropbox below for feedback.

Social Psychology in Offender Reentry Journal Article

/in /by

When working with offenders through the process of reentry, it is important to utilize methods and interventions that have been shown to be effective and that help to reduce recidivism. Social psychology has many applications in the rehabilitation of offenders. This assignment asks you to combine these elements to determine how the principles of social psychology apply to evidence-based practices when working with this population of individuals.

Imagine you have been selected to write an article for a peer-reviewed journal on correctional program support services and recidivism.

Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word journal article on evidenced-based practices in offender rehabilitation that reduce recidivism. Include the following:

  • Describe a minimum of three evidence-based practices utilized in correctional program support services that have shown to reduce the effects of stress, foster happiness, and reduce recidivism in offenders working towards reentry. 
  • Explain the elements (concepts) of social psychology discussed throughout the course that must be taken into consideration when structuring and administering services to aid offenders in reentering into society. Consider two to three (elements) concepts discussed in this class, such as heuristics, the attribution theory, aggression, prejudice, stereotyping, discrimination… Why would these specific concepts need to taken into consideration for offenders reentering society?
  • Describe how methods of stress management can help to reduce recidivism. What are specific methods of stress management that can help to reduce recidivism?
