A premature baby is one who is born before 37 weeks of pregnancy. Low birth weight (< 2.5 kg) and is an indication of health and development of infants in their lifetime. The rate of low birth weight is on the rise and is challenging to public health. Preventing low birth weight needs to be prioritized in the National Health Strategy. Prematurity effects close to 4000,000 babies that are born in the United States. Low birth weight babies can often face complexed setbacks and are faced with substantially increased risk concerns. (Islam, M. 2020).

The effects on a family and a community related to low birth weights consists of financial burdens, loss wages, feelings of detachment to the infant and anxiety. There are many health concerns associated with premature babies both short and long term. The short-term effects include breathing problems (respiratory distress syndrome), cardiac problems (patent ductus arteriosus), brain disorders (bleeds), temperature control (hypothermia), gastrointestinal disorders (necrotizing enterocolitis), metabolic disorders(hypoglycemia), blood disorders (anemia and jaundice), and immune system problems (infection/ sepsis). All these setbacks require extended hospital stays. (Mahurin, J. 2021). Long term health issues include attention deficit/hyperactivity (ADHD), poor academic performance, delayed development, impaired learning, vision issues, and are a higher risk for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Both in early childhood and in the pre-adolescence stages these babies score lower on standardizes test. (Mahurin, J. 2021).

Ongoing care for preterm babies also poses financial burdens on both the family and society, these infants will require much long-term care depending on the degree of the deficit and the equipment needed to care for them. In the United States the rate of preterm births differs among racial/ethnic groups, the largest and most disparities occur between non-Hispanic blacks, and non-Hispanic whites and is associated with gaps in chronic health issues throughout life. The level of education along with occupation reflect genetics, environment, and other social factors. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,2019, October 21).

In my community The March of Dimes has helped millions of infants to survive and thrive. The March of Dimes has partnered with other organizations on the local and state levels and provides services to women and their families the goal of The March of Dimes is to promote the health of mothers and babies through education on the importance of early prenatal care, reducing premature births and other poor outcomes. They also provide support for babies in the NICU. Local chapters of The March of Dimes offer programs geared towards specific populations to address disparities and improve the equity in their communities. (March of Dimes, 2019, October).

System risks and threats are common to information systems, and their prevention is among the top priorities to ensure the effectiveness of the systems. According to Wheelus and Zhu (2020), the three categories of threats are computer viruses, spyware threats, hackers, and predators. Each of these categories presents different risks to information systems. Computer viruses alter the way computers operate without the knowledge or permission of the user. Viruses replicate and execute themselves, ending up doing damage to the computer. Spyware threats monitor the online activities of a computer, capture information, and install programs without the user’s consent. On the other hand, hackers and predators carry out cyber-terrorism by introducing malware and security threats to change, steal or destroy information as a way of victimizing system users. The three categories of system risks and threats are the major ones.

The top threats of a missile defense system for each category and the realization in a real system compromise are as follows. A virus is among the top threats to the defense system given the ability to replicate and execute itself, hence misguiding the system’s users and damaging both software and hardware. Spyware is also a top threat, especially when a missile defense system has a weak security control system and manipulates information, hence misguiding the system. Hackers also remain among the top threats to a defense system as they manipulate and destroy the system by introducing viruses and using them to destroy or misinform the defense system creating great risk potentials. Some of the factors in assessing the system threats are historical information which can predict sources of threat. Actual, inherent, and potential threats are equally significant in system threat assessment (Wheelers & Zhu, 2020). The three categories of system threats have greater potential risks, and users of information systems need to be aware and implement security measures to protect their systems against them.

Students:  Be sure to read the criteria, by which your paper/project will be evaluated, before you write, and again after you write.

STRUCTURE OF PROJECT:

1. Title your project.  Titles are important and inform your reader/viewer of what’s to come or what to expect.  Should be the last thing to consider.
2. The introduction should answer Who? What? When? Where? Why?
   1. Hook your reader/viewer:  the introduction should be engaging and pique the interest of your reader/viewer.
   2. Orient your reader/viewer provide appropriate background information about the artwork
   3. Describe the artwork = use descriptive adjectives = a description is what you see in the artwork, NOT an interpretation.
   4. Explain why the work was created – was it commissioned?  Privately or publically funded?
   5. Thesis statement =>this is your objective interpretation.
      1. What is the artwork saying to its audience?
3. Supporting Arguments & Evidence: Each argument should clearly support your interpretation with evidence derived from your research and observation of the object.
   1. Visual Analysis identifies the artwork’s applicable formal elements of art (FEA) and principles of design (PoD) delivered in a format that supports a description of the artwork
   2. Contextual analysis of the artwork’s original historical, cultural, or political context
   3. Interpretation/Point of View = what does the artwork mean?
      1. Your objective interpretation/POV should be supported through an explanation of HOW the FEA, PoD & context support your interpretation.
      2. Answering the “HOW” part is crucial to your analysis. It is not enough to just identify the characteristics and list a few historical facts; you have to synthesize the information into a cohesive interpretation.
4. Conclusion should:
   1. Evaluate the effectiveness of the artwork
   2. Sum up your ideas & lead the reader out of the presentation. 
5. Bibliography/Works Cited with at least three (3) *credible sources. 
   1. Credible sources are those with
      1. An author (if they didn’t put their name to it, don’t trust it!);
      2. Bibliography works cited, footnotes, further readings (if they didn’t include their research, don’t trust it!)
      3. If you need help, ask me & a librarian

For this assignment you will be required to observe one student in a classroom setting for two hours. During this observation you will record all the behaviors displayed by the student. You should create a comprehensive and specific list of behaviors (eg. pulls his own hair, stares away from the teacher, whispers to her friend, throws pencil on the floor, etc.). The summary should be extremely detailed. Do not use the student’s real name in the summary. Create a pseudonym for the student to maintain confidentiality.

You will also complete an Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence (ABC) chart during your observation. The Field Experience Observation ABC Chart should include at least two behavior episodes. 

When considering the function of the observed behavior, please choose from one of the following: 

1. Escape/Avoidance

2. Obtaining/Acquiring 

The preferred observation site would be in a classroom that provides assistance to students with emotional disabilities. The preferred student for this observation would be an individual who has been known to exhibit challenging behaviors.

The Liberty University Field Office will not help you to find a school/classroom for this observation. You must independently approach schools in your community to organize the observation. You may use the Field Experience Observation Letter if your chosen school requests additional documentation.

NOTE:  If you live in Central Virginia, you may not contact the local school systems (Lynchburg City, Campbell County, Bedford County, Appomattox County, and Amherst County) to complete the field experience requirement. You may contact the instructor of this course for your options. Thank you!

After the observation, provide a description of the student and a summary of the behaviors you witnessed during the observation. Analyze the behaviors and provide a few reasons as to why the behaviors might have occurred. Use information from your textbooks to support your reasoning.

The list of behaviors and the behavior summary should be 400-500 words. This does not include the words that will be used on the Field Experience Observation ABC Chart. Please copy and paste the Field Experience Observation ABC Chart onto the document that contains the list of behaviors and the behavior summary. Use current APA format when writing your summary.
