  1. Could Joey be a chronic pharyngeal carrier? Why or why not?

In streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis, Chronic pharyngeal carrier is a state in which group A β-hemolytic streptococcus is present in the pharynx for a period without showing signs of infection. There is a possibility that Joey could be a chronic pharyngeal carrier. It is difficult to clear GAS from a carrier’s pharynx hence recurrent episodes. The fact that he has received multiple treatments for GAS pharyngitis shows that he has had recurrent group A streptococcal pharyngitis. According to Shulman et al. patients experiencing recurrent episodes of pharyngitis and laboratory results show group A streptococcal pharyngitis may be chronic pharyngeal carriers with repeated viral infections (2012). Streptococcal pharyngitis is a self-limited infection, and a patient responds to antibiotics within 24-48 hours. The symptoms of streptococcal pharyngitis can resolve days after the onset of the disease without treatment (Shulman et al., 2012). When treated with appropriate antibiotics, carriers do not respond and have positive throat cultures for group A streptococcal pharyngitis……………Read more

Introduction 

The Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) alleges that in 2020, over 292 million people were impacted by data breaches (Algarni et al. 2021). ITRC also noted that one of the reasons linked to the latter was an implementation of weak work models decreasing Cybersecurity issues. As one of the prominent companies in the entertainment industry, Netflix has encountered several data breach issues deteriorating its reputation and overall business performance (Coleman and Techie, 2022).

Your state is considering passage of a statute that exempts possession and use of marijuana from prosecution if it is used for medical purposes. One of the cases that has been used to support the statute is that of Regina S., a 65-year-old woman, who has a son who has been undergoing treatment for cancer.

UNDERSTANDING POWER AND PRIVILEGE

For this week, you will interview yourself while considering the concepts of “power” and “privilege” (or if you have a friend or family member that is willing, they could interview you with your pre-designed questions). How creative you get is up to you.

Here’s the scenario for your interview: You are yourself (so speak from your perspective). Envision that you are a therapist who works with multiple clients in multiple settings (e.g., in-home, telehealth, in office) and you have clients that are from multiple races/genders/sexual orientations/backgrounds/etc. Most of your clients live in poverty and/or do not have a high school diploma, some of your clients are considered disabled). You were picked for this interview on power and privilege in the therapy room for a local family therapy organization because of your work with such a diverse population. You will present your interview in Kaltura.
The first step in this assignment is to arrange a set of interview questions around the ideas of power and privilege. They should include the following themes:
*When you have felt power and privilege in your own life.
*Your own understanding of your own power and privilege.
*Examples of work with clients where you have been able to address power and privilege (answers will likely be “made up” for this – but consider some of the differences in the client population you work with).
*How telehealth might be beneficial with some communities that you work with (e.g., eliminates transportation costs, allows freedom for those that might be differently abled).
*Reflections on what you feel are your responsibility in the therapy room and out of the therapy room with regards to power and privilege
Secondly, you will “present” your own interview and address the questions that you created.
Length: 2 pages (write it as an interview)
References: Include a minimum of 3 scholarly resources.
The completed assignment should address all of the assignment requirements, exhibit evidence of concept knowledge, and demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the content presented in the course. The writing should integrate scholarly resources, reflect academic expectations and current APA standards.

Question 1: Privacy and Mini-Cameras

Consider the question of mini-cameras (Google Glass, for instance) and security. How do you think these types of devices affect privacy? Do you think there will come a time where these types of cameras will be so small that they’ll be impossible to detect?
Question 2: Global Positioning Systems (Military vs. Civilian)
Please read the following paragraph, from a section of a government article entitled, “Is Military GPS More Accurate than Civilian GPS?” The accuracy of the GPS signal in space is actually the same for both the civilian GPS service (SPS) and the military GPS service (PPS). However, SPS broadcasts on one frequency, while PPS uses two. This means military users can perform ionospheric correction, a technique that reduces radio degradation caused by the Earth’s atmosphere. With less degradation, PPS provides better accuracy than the basic SPS (GPS.gov, 2014). Do you feel that the general public should be able to use the PPS system rather than the SPS system for GPS navigation in order to take advantage of the system’s accuracy? Why or why not?
