For this assignment, students will investigate and propose a psychiatric diagnosis based on the case study from the Gorenstein and Comer (2015) textbook Case Studies in Abnormal Psychology, chosen in the Week One “Initial Call” discussion. This paper will include an in-depth overview of the disorder(s) within the diagnosis, treatment options for the diagnosis, and a sound rationale that explains why this diagnosis was made. Note that the diagnosis may include more than one psychiatric disorder.

The paper must present a thorough overview of each disorder within the diagnosis. Assume the audience has no prior knowledge of the disorder(s) within the diagnosis, and provide relevant and easy to understand explanations of each for the readers. When writing the paper, it is critical to convey all the necessary information in a straightforward manner using non-technical language. (Reference the Professional Voice and Writing (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. resource provided by the Ashford Writing Center for assistance.) Support the analysis with at least five peer-reviewed sources published within the last ten years in addition to the course text.

The Psychiatric Diagnosis topical paper must include the following:

Explain psychological concepts in the patient’s presentation using professional terminology. Identify symptoms and behaviors exhibited by the patient in the chosen case study.
Match the identified symptoms to potential disorders in a diagnostic manual.
Propose a diagnosis based on the patient’s symptoms and the criteria listed for the disorder(s) in the diagnostic manual.
Analyze and explain how the patient meets criteria for the disorder(s) according to the patient’s symptoms and the criteria outlined in the diagnostic manual.
Justify the use of the chosen diagnostic manual (i.e., Why was this manual chosen over others?).
Summarize general views of the diagnosis from multiple theoretical orientations and historical perspectives. Include a discussion on comorbidity if the diagnosis includes more than one disorder.
Evaluate symptoms within the context of an appropriate theoretical orientation for this diagnosis.
Use at least two peer-reviewed articles to assess the validity of this diagnosis, and describe who is most likely to have the diagnosis with regard to age, gender, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, and ethnicity. Provide a brief evaluation of the scientific merit of these peer-reviewed sources in the validity assessment.
Summarize the risk factors (i.e., biological, psychological, and/or social) for the diagnosis. If one of the categories is not relevant, address this within the summary.
Compare evidence-based and non-evidence-based treatment options for the diagnosis.
Evaluate well-established treatments for the diagnosis, and describe the likelihood of success or possible outcomes for each treatment.
Create an annotated bibliography of five peer-reviewed references published within the last ten years to inform the diagnosis and treatment recommendations. In the annotated bibliography, write a two- to three-sentence evaluation of the scientific merit of each of these references. For additional assistance with this portion of the assignment, access the Ashford Writing Center’s Sample Annotated Bibliography (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..

Presentations – will be graded on content clarity of messaging and professional delivery, including personal presentation.

 

The International Business Project module is about writing an analytical report regarding
current or possible international strategies or activities of one chosen company from any
industry in any region of the world.
 The chosen topic for the project must have an international dimension, otherwise it will
not be accepted.
 The international dimension of the project can focus on any type of international
strategy or activities such as international marketing, international human resource
management, international manufacturing, or any other corporate, business, or
functional-level strategies or activities.
 The project should be about the existing or potential international business activities of
a chosen multinational enterprise (MNE); or can focus on a company planning to
become international.
 Students can select any industry or company, so long as there is enough publicly
available information in English regarding this company or industry. The chosen
company can be active in one or more than one industry, however, focus of the report
should be only on one industry. The size and country of origin of the company does
not matter, and it can be well known or a hidden champion.
 The final output can be either a Management Consultancy report or a Market Research
report only based on secondary data. The structure is similar, but emphasis on
providing practical recommendations for improvement is greater in a Management
Consultancy report.
Recommended Structure for the Project Report
Marks are awarded for structure. The following are the sections that shape the project report:
Coversheet: Use the usual template for the assignment coversheet. This coversheet is
available in in the Assessments folder on SurreyLearn.
Table of contents: Provide the list of headings and their page number in one separate page
from the cover sheet and the executive summary.
1. Execut
2
 You might use five sub-headings, one for each of the five parts of your project report.
 The recommended length for the executive summary is 300-500 words.
2. Scope, Aim and Topic of the Report
You need to talk about aim, scope and topic of your project report here.
 Scope of the report: In defining the scope of your report, you need to clarify four
interrelated issues. The scope-related matters are: A) the chosen international strategy
or business activity (what international business thematic or issue is the focus of your
project report?); B) the chosen industry (on which industry are you going to focus on?);
C) the selected company (from which will you collect data?); D) intended
country/countries/region (s) (in which geographies will you explore and analyse your
chosen company’s international business activities?) You should focus on one
industry only. If your selected company is active in more than one industry, you need
to concentrate only on one of these industries that you prefer. Any company from this
industry can be the focus of your report. Your chosen company may have activities in
many countries and on different continents. You need to mention from where precisely
your information is derived.
 Aim of the project report: Briefly state your intention for writing this project report.
What do you want to identify/assess by writing this report? The aim should be in the
form of a statement, and not a question. The aim statement starts with ‘To…’. For
example, ‘to determine suitable modes of internationalisation in the fashion industry;
the case of Zara’.
 Topic of the report: The topic of your report should be: A) in the form of a statement;
B) directly connected to the ‘aim of the report’; and C) preferably start with a word in
‘ing’ format. For instance, ‘determining suitable modes of internationalisation in the
fashion industry; the case of Zara’. You also need to justify the rationale for selecting
such a topic for your project. Why is it important for managers or other stakeholders to
know more about your chosen project topic? You may use a combination of literature
review and factual market data to support your decision to write about the topic.
3. International business selection
In one or two paragraphs, give some short information about the company you selected for
investigation in your report, and its existing or intended approach to internationalisation.
 Say what your chosen company does. If your intended company does business in
more than one industry, introduce all of these businesses briefly.
 Why did you select this company?
 You may provide some graphs or/and tables to show the company’s market share and
position among competitors in the same industry.
 Indicate in how many countries this company does business.
 If you can find them, you might write the company’s vision, mission, and objectives. Do
not worry if you cannot find these details.
 If the company is already international, what modes of foreign market entry has it
deployed?

4. Data Collection Sources and Analytical Methods
The project report is based on secondary data, the data that are collected originally by other
people or organisations than the student. The source of secondary data should be reliable. It
means the data are expected to be generated or collected either by academics, authorised
staff in an organisation regarding the organisation, official governmental bodies, professional
data collection or market research institutes, or international and unbiased organisations.
In the analysis section these issues should be covered:
 The utilised sources of secondary data and their justification. It is crucial to rely
only on reliable sources of data in writing your report because reliability of your report,
its findings and recommendations depend on reliability of the sources used in the
report. Reliable sources for collecting secondary data are annual company reports, the
Office for National Statistics, professional databases, report by international institutions
such as UNCTAD, European Union, World Bank, World Trade Organization,
International Monetary Fund, or OECD. You can use any reliable databases to collect
data about the market or a particular company. Five recommended databases are
Mintel, Euromonitor Passport, Orbis and Capital IQ, and Statista. Mintel, Euromonitor
Passport, Orbis and Capital IQ are available via our online library. Statista is freely
available for all users. You need to justify selection of each of your sources of
secondary data. Why do you think your chosen sources of data are appropriate for
your selected project topic? You might use a table with two columns one for the utilised
sources of secondary data and the other brief rationale for using each of the secondary
sources.
 The employed analytical technique (s) and its/their justification. Your analytical
technique can be a theoretical framework such as Porter’s five forces, stakeholder
analysis, Dunning’s eclectic paradigm, the Uppsala internationalisation process model,
or the institutional approach. You are required to collect secondary data to support and
apply your chosen theoretical framework.
You may like to select an analytical technique that is a non-theoretical method,
including statistical formula (such as multiple regression analysis, correlation, chisquare,
or frequency) or qualitative data analysis methods (such as systematic
literature review, content analysis or thematic analysis). If you choose a ‘theoretical
framework’ for data analysis, you will not be required to use any statistical analysis
techniques if you do not want to do so. You should justify selection of your preferred
data analysis technique (s). Why do you think your chosen data analysis technique (s)
would be a suitable method for your report?
5. Findings
This section is dedicated to the results of the analysis and interpretations of the findings.
 Results of the analysis: When using a theoretical framework as your analytical
technique, your findings would be mainly in the form of discussions concerning each
aspect of the employed theoretical framework. For example, if you chose Porter’s Five
Forces as your analytical tool, you are expected to illustrate your findings for each of
the five parts of the model. If you relied on statistical formula for analysing your
collected data, you need to show outputs of the analysis (e.g. correlation table,
frequency, pie-chart, or time series analysis graph) in this section. If some of your
4
findings are in the form of graphs or tables, you are required to give separate number
and headings for each of the demonstrated graphs or tables. You should put all
relevant graphs and tables in this section. If you put tables or graphs in your
appendices section, they will not be considered in the marking your report.
 Interpretations of the findings: Although illustrating your findings is important, it is
not enough. You must explain what each finding means and how each finding help you
to understand the phenomena/topic you were examining in your report. You should
also say what would be the implications of each of your findings for your chosen
company. If you had a hypothesis or question in your project, you should debate
whether or not your hypothesis was rejected or your findings gave you the satisfactory
answer to your question.
6. Recommendations
In this part, you need to have some evidence-based suggestions to your chosen company/
industry to make some improvements on the chosen area of strategy or activity.
 Recommendations must be based on the findings of the analysis. One of the possible
ways to show direct connectivity between your findings and your recommendations is
through using a table. It could be a table with two or more columns, where in one
column you put each of your main findings in a separate row of that column, and in the
other column for each of the mentioned findings, you recommend one or more
improvement in the company’s internal strategies, actions, processes, management or
leadership roles and decisions.
 In addition to the findings you can utilise the relevant literature to support your
suggested improvements.
 Your proposed enhancements should not be solely based on literature.
 Try to have at least three relevant recommendations. Having more evidence-based
recommendations would increase your mark.
Reference List: It is mandatory to have a full list of all sources you used directly in your work.
Please do not mention the sources that you did not use directly in your work. Referencing
should follow the Harvard Referencing system only.
Appendices: It is better not to have any appendices. All necessary information and discussion
should be provided within the main text between the executive summary and the
recommendations sections. If you really need to have an appendix, remember that the
contents in appendix do not have any assigned marks.
Formatting Issues
1. It is recommended to use one of the readable and academic fonts such as Arial, Calibri,
or Times New Roman.
2. It is suggested to use fond size 11 for the general body of the text.
3. You might use font size 13 or 14 in bold for main headings.
4. Font size 11 in bold would be suitable for sub-headings.
5. Any default page margins (e.g. 2.54 for all sides or 2 for all sides) would be acceptable.
6. Try to have headings for every tables or graphs in your assignment. Put the heading
above the table or the graph.
5
7. It is recommended to number all table or graph headings.
8. Mention the source of your tables or graphs under the table or graph. If you developed
the table or graph just write ‘Source: Developed by the Author for this work’.
9. The recommended line spacing is either 1.2 or 1.5.

write a 3 page paper using APA format (double spaced, font-size 12, and margins of 1 inch at the top, bottom, left and right of each page) on their own perceptions and definition of “help”. No outside sources are required for this paper but students are encouraged to use outside sources whenever possible.

In this assignment students will provide their own definition/description of what they think help is. Students will then discuss how they connect to the concept of help whether through a personal experience or more broadly through a particular social issue. Students will briefly describe a scenario or situation (can be a personal situation as either receiving or giving help, but are not required to share a personal story if they choose not to) and using their understanding of help critically reflect on the situation. Students can use the following questions as a guide:

Why is the multiple causation of incidents and accidents in the workplace theory important in safety/loss control management? Why is this important to safety professionals, front line supervisors and top management? Explain and provide real life examples as evidence…

Many companies are exempted from keeping injury and illness records based on their NACIS codes or based on the number of employees working for a company in a calendar year. Do you believe this is a fair practice or do you believe all companies should be required to keep injury and illness records? If yes state why? If no state why?

Before beginning the assessment, complete the following:
• Choose an organization to use for this assessment. It can be where you are currently employed or a company with which you are familiar. It must be an organization that is researchable, as you will need to gather and analyze information in order to complete the assessment. You may use the same organization for the other assessments.
• If you choose the organization where you are currently employed, please keep in mind that the analyses you make must be based on facts that can be documented rather than your personal opinion as an employee.
• Research the recruiting and selection functions of the chosen organization.

Deliverable
Based on your research into the recruiting and selection functions of the organization you selected, write a research paper in which you complete the following:
• Describe the organization’s current state of labor (for example, shortages, surplus, et cetera), including any recent changes in labor needs (shortages, temporary workers).
• Explain the recruiting policies and methods being used by the organization.
• Analyze the talent acquisition processes of the organization.
• Explain the selection process used, including testing, background checks, drug screening, interviews, and so on.
• Analyze elements of the organization that contribute to its image as an employer (for example, compensation, geographic location, size, et cetera). How do these elements affect the ability of the organization to attract and retain talent?
Please note: You must address all the required elements of this assessment. If details for any of the bulleted points are unavailable, research the topic and present recommendations you believe would be best for the organization, along with your supporting rationale.

Additional Requirements
• Your submitted assessment should include a title page, introduction, body, conclusion, and reference page.
• Be sure you support your analyses with references to at least two resources.
• You should format this assessment as a research paper following APA 6th edition guidelines for both style and citing sources, making sure that you also use correct grammar and mechanics.

Rubric:
Analyzes the organizational labor situation.

To examine the issue of disparities in health care, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) produces an annual report to track disparities related to “racial factors and socioeconomic factors in priority populations” (IOM, 2010).  Although the emphasis is on disparities related to race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status, also included is a charge to examine disparities in priority populations, which are groups with unique health care needs or issues that require special attention.

AHRQ’s priority populations, specified by Congress in the Healthcare Research and Quality Act of 1999 are:

• Racial and ethnic minority groups
• Low-income groups
• Women
• Children (under age 18)
• Older adults (age 65 and over)
• Residents of rural areas
• Individuals with special health care needs, including individuals with disabilities and individuals who need chronic care or end-of-life care
• Other populations, such as LGBT, are also included.

In completing a community health needs assessment and prioritization, populations most impacted by the priority health issues should be identified.  These are the people with which you will work to develop interventions.  A priority population may be defined by:

• Demographic factors such as age, gender, race/ethnicity, income level, education attainment or grade level, marital status, or health care coverage status
• Geography such as a region of a state or a specific community
• A location in which the priority population may be reached such as a workplace, school or church.

George Junius Stinney Jr. was, at age 14, the youngest person executed in the United States in the 20th century (1944) The boy was very small for his age (5’1) so small, they had to stack books on the electric chair.
Because there is literally NO EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM (accused of murdering two white girls) …the question of Stinney’s guilt and the judicial process leading to his execution remain controversial (ie. there’s a strong possibility they executed an INNOCENT person)

Was one of the youngest ever executed innocent?

The police rounded up several black boys from the area besides George, according to his brother. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVCFpbB3Dt0

this paper is the culmination of work and readings from the text “Mama Might Be Better Off Dead.” The objective of this assignment is to demonstrate an understanding of the material and how it applies to a vulnerable population (the family and community in the book). The second objective is to demonstrate that the student has begun to process and identify professional opinions as to the current state of healthcare in our society. The final objective is to illustrate how this book is relevant for the role of the social worker. This should be done by exploring the values and ethics of social work, the role of social work in healthcare settings, social policy, and the history of social work. Consider the Discussion Questions posed weekly as prompts to help you develop your work for this assignment. This paper should be 4-6 pages.
