Assignment 1, Presentation 20 Autism

/in /by

Assignment 1, Presentation 20 Autism: Each student will complete 2 presentations. A list of presentation topics is provided

at the end of the syllabus. The articles for each synthesis are listed.  You are required to prepare a presentation based on the 3 articles.  You can include additional articles and resources; however, the core of the presentation should follow the assigned articles. Presentations are due on the Wednesday of the week they are due.  Email the presentation directly to me so that it can be uploaded within the course.

 

For the presentations, you will record your audio within the presentation using PowerPoint.  In the Notes section in your PowerPoint presentation you are required to provide a transcript of each slide.  A link to a short video demonstrating how to record the audio is contained within the class in the Course Info section on Canvas.  You will need Office 2010 or later.  Discounted versions can be purchased through

Arcadia. Please use “good presentation skills”, i.e. do not read from the slides but use bullet points and discuss. These presentations are designed to demonstrate your knowledge, comprehension and application of the subject, not your reading skills.

 

Your presentation should identify the core elements of the articles and synthesize them when appropriate.  This assignment is not just a regurgitation of the material. Remember you are to be the teacher and present in a manner that will enable the other students to learn the information.   The following criteria are contained in a scoring rubric you can access in the Course Info section.

 

Key Presentation Requirements:

• 15-25 minutes

• Cover a minimum of the 3 required articles

• Begin with an introduction/agenda of the presentation breakdown

• Material broken down into bullets with only a few words per bullet

• Clear description of the topics along with examples

• Inclusion of own experiences when appropriate

• Smooth presentation with a clear comfort level of the material

• Discussion of the implications for behavior analysts who are practicing

• Proper APA article citation on corresponding slides

• Incorporation of visuals and external resources to elaborate on the material

• End with a conclusion pulling together the main points

This discussion asks you to formulate a definition of environmental sustainability based on research and how it can apply to environmental stewardship both on a personal and national level.

Overview

This discussion asks you to formulate a definition of environmental sustainability based on research and how it can apply to environmental stewardship both on a personal and national level. I will start you off by telling you that scientists working on environmental sustainability (ES) consider there to be 3 major principles to ES: reliance on solar energy for photosynthesis and other alternative energy sources; nutrient cycling of chemicals through soil, water, and air; and protection and restoration of biological diversity. These are the 3 legs of our environmental sustainability stool and it will collapse if any one of them is negatively impacted in a substantial way.

Instructions

You may already have an opinion on what is meant by environmental sustainability. The topic is in the news frequently and it is difficult not to form an opinion when you hear a lot about a subject, even when you do not know how accurate the material is that you are confronted with. Follow the following steps to prepare yourself for this discussion:

  1. Read the article at this website: Environmental Sustainability. Note in particular the information in the sidebar about the Three Pillars of Sustainability: Social, Environmental and Economic.           Website: http://www.thwink.org/sustain/glossary/EnvironmentalSustainability.htm
  2. Next, conduct an internet search on environmental sustainability. You can use Wikipedia to get a quick head start; and also look for articles in the web magazine ScienceDaily. Read enough information to have a good basis for an informed opinion on the subject.                                  Website: https://www.sciencedaily.com/
  3. Your initial post:

1: What does environmentally sustainable mean to you personally?

2: What do you think the major challenges are to achieving environmental sustainability for our species?

3: What should Americans and the world be encouraged to do to foster sustainability?  Name at least 2-3 ideas and discuss how they promote sustainability.

In your initial post, please provide 3-4 references in APA format and use in-text citations.

Overview

Many if not most of the topics that you studied in the eText and tackled in the discussions and labs are, or will be directly or indirectly impacted by the myriad effects of climate change.  At this point in the course, you should be able to assess the various predictions from the climate models and mesh them with what you have already learned to fashion a credible assessment of our planet’s future.

Instructions

Prepare yourself for this discussion by studying the relevant material presented in the two websites linked below. Most of the living scientists who have received the Nobel Prize are members of the first organization in the list. The second two federal agencies are two of the most respected in this country and world. Amazing that our country will listen with rapt attention to everything that NASA has to say about outer space, but ignore what they say about climate change.

You are encouraged to research the Internet for other climate change related sites and don’t skip ScienceDaily

For your initial post, please respond to the following questions in separate paragraphs:

  1. Describe 2-3 pieces of evidence from the science literature that humans are causing climate change to accelerate.
  2. What specific impacts do the current climate change models predict globally and which of them, if any, appear to be occurring already?
  3. What role does the ocean play in the climate change scenario?
  4. What sorts of impacts are predicted for Colorado if the climate change models are correct?

In your initial post, please provide 3-4 references in APA format and use in-text citations.

You are asked to evaluate employees’ exposures to methyl n-amyl ketone during a painting operation.

/in /by

You are asked to evaluate employees’ exposures to methyl n-amyl ketone during a painting operation. After careful consideration, you choose NIOSH Method 2553 for the sampling. You can access the method by clicking the link below:National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. (2003). Ketones II: Method 2553. In P. M. Eiler & M. E. Cassinelli (Eds.), NIOSH manual of analytical methods (4th ed.). Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2003-154/pdfs/2553.pdfYour pre-sampling and post-sampling pump calibrations using a primary standard are both 0.05 L/min. You collect personal samples on two employees working in the operation. The samples are collected for 430 minutes (Sample 1) and 440 minutes (Sample 2).

  1. Calculate the sample volumes for each of the samples.

The laboratory reports that the front section of Sample 1 contains 5,000 µg of methyl n-amyl ketone and the back section contains 200 µg of methyl n-amyl ketone. The front section of Sample 2 contains 4,000 µg of methyl n-amyl ketone and the back section contains 50 µg of methyl n-amyl ketone. Neither the front nor back sections of the field blank you supplied contain any detectable levels of methyl n-amyl ketone.

  1. Calculate the concentrations of the two personal samples in µg/L and mg/m³.
  2. Convert the result to ppm (MW for methyl n-amyl ketone = 114.2). Note: Use the ideal gas constant of 24.45.
  3. Show all the steps for your calculations.

You then reference OSHA’s Table Z-1 and find that the 8-hour TWA PEL for methyl n-amyl ketone is 100 ppm

  1. Discuss how the results of the two personal samples you collected compare to the OSHA PEL, and describe the sampling method you implemented.

You also look up the ACGIH TLV for methyl n-amyl ketone and find that the TLV is 50 ppm as an 8-hour TWA exposure.

  1. Discuss how the results for the two personal samples compare to the ACGIH TLV.
  2. Discuss whether you would recommend comparing the results of your sampling to the OSHA PEL or the ACGIH TLV. Include your rationale for the choice, and explain how you would rationalize your choice to your employer.

The case study should be a minimum of three pages in length, and you should cite the NIOSH document using APA style.

identifying health hazards associated with a production line at a manufacturing facility

/in /by

you have been tasked with identifying health hazards associated with a production line at a manufacturing facility.Employees at the beginning of the line use a solvent to clean the surface of medium-size auto parts, and then they place the parts on a moving line. As the parts move along the line, an employee sprays them with a powder coating, and the parts move through an oven. Another employee removes the parts from the line and places them in slots in a cart for transporting to shipping.You have been provided safety data sheets for the solvent used for cleaning the parts (click  here to access) and the powder coating that is used (click  here to access). Use the JHA form to identify the potential health hazards associated with the process. Click  here to access the Basic Job Hazard Analysis form. You will use the Basic Hazard Analysis form to enter your responses and to answer the four questions listed below. Please upload this completed document to your instructor for grading. Prepare a two-page homework assignment summarizing your health hazard analysis and answer these questions from the Basic Job Hazard Analysis form.

  1. What are the health hazards associated with the operation?
  2. What are the primary exposure routes associated with each health hazard?
  3. Are there any potential acute or chronic health effects for any of the health hazards you identified?
  4. Are special hazards associated with any of the health hazards?

You may use the safety data sheets provided above, information from the OSHA or NIOSH websites, or academic references from the Internet to answer the questions. Citations are not required for this homework assignment; however you may want to use them in order to answer the questions.

Assignment 1, Discussion 12

Broadly defined, social validity concerns the appropriateness and acceptability of ABA interventions as both process and outcome measures (Kazdin, 1977; Wolf, 1978). Such assessment enables practitioners to select reasonable intervention-targeted criteria. Social validity is useful in determining if changes that we as practitioners produce in behavior are acceptable and efficient for our clients and those that interact with them.  How do we ensure social validity during the CBC model? What things should we as practitioners should be mindful of? What are some ways we can foster the relationship between parent and teacher on social validity and behavior outcomes?

Solution

The Conjoint Behavioral Consultation model stresses on the criticality of integrating
social validity throughout the intervention process. Practitioner can ensure they are
considering social validity during the CBC model by employing a few strategies. Among
these strategies include joining all crucial stakeholders in the intervention process, including
parents, teachers, and clients. This type of collaboration plays an essential role in ensuring
that everyone’s point of views, values, and objectives are considered, resulting in the
enhancement of intervention’s social validity and client’s outcomes. This is consistent with
Colton &amp; Sheridan (1998) research that noted positive changes in delivering social skills
intervention based on CBC between parents and teachers. Another strategy to ensure social
validity during CBC model is focusing on outcomes that are relevant to stakeholders. For
instance, if the objective of the intervention is to improve a child with autism spectrum
disorder communication skills, the practitioner should measure improvements in the client’s
ability to communicate in real-life scenarios, especially those relevant to the child and their
families.
There are few things that practitioners should be mindful when ensuring social
validity in the CBC model. For instance, they should have an understanding of the cultural
and diversity factors that influence social validity of intervention. Among these factors
include distinct cultural and racial backgrounds of clients. Interventions should be tailored
bases on these factors. Besides, practitioners should be mindful of their ethical and moral
values. Precisely, they should ensure interventions align with professional ethics and values
associated with behavior analysis field. They should also ensure they base their decisions on
