Parkland School Shooting Response

By Academic Wizard Blog

Parkland School Shooting Response

Personal crisis: On February 14, 2018, a mass shooting occurred when 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz opened fire on students and staff at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, part of the Miami metropolitan area, Parkland, Florida, killing 17 people and injuring 18 others.

Purpose

1. To apply principles of community trauma/crisis/disaster assessment in your local community

2. To consider ground-level interventions that a PMHNP can apply in a community emergency/disaster situation

Instructions Parkland School Shooting Response

1. Select a recent crisis/disaster event that occurred in your local area. Briefly describe the event.

The event should be a DSM type of traumatic event that occurred in your local community. This could include, but is not limited to: natural disasters, mass shootings, terrorist attacks, or the death of a local figure that was traumatic to the community (example: murder of J.F.K. would be ok b/c threat to the nation, fear of more attacks, etc. Death of Elvis Presley not ok – upsetting and personally devastating, yes. Traumatic, no.)
Remember that just because something is really difficult does not automatically make it a trauma. Adverse life events are not the same as trauma.
The event must have occurred in your local community and in your lifetime where you were old enough to witness the impact that the event had on the community. If you cannot think of something from your town, move up to something in the next biggest town or something in your state.

2. Use the following questions to reflect on the event:

Reaction – What was the community reaction to the event? Or, did you see strong reactions in individuals?

Source – What was the source of that reaction? Why was it so difficult? – The source of the reaction is often the emotions that are underlying. Are they acting out of fear or rage? Are they caring for the individuals that were harmed because the community is so close and full of love?

Implications – What did this mean for the individual or the community? How was the community changed by this event? What were the outcomes of this event?

3. Let’s say that you were a PMHNP at the time that this event occurred. Develop a plan for intervention. As a PMHNP, what could you do to positively affect this situation, at the individual and community level?

Your plan should include ground-level interventions that the PMHNP could perform in the weeks following the traumatic event. Will you offer therapy or support groups? Education? Is there a specific program that you would start to relieve the immediate needs following the event? Volunteer with disaster relief?
Use the disaster response resources in the module for some initial ideas, but you can expand beyond this if appropriate for your scenario.
This is NOT a work on social issues or policy change. Although these are important issues, the purpose of this work is to focus on the immediate needs after a crisis or disaster. Your plan should not be about advocating for policy change. We’re looking for ground-level interventions that you can do immediately. Parkland School Shooting Response

4. Total assignment should be minimum 2 pgs in essy style with APA format. Cite references as needed, but not required.

What was the community reaction to the Parkland shooting?,
What was the source of these reactions?,
How did the event impact and change the community?,
As a PMHNP what immediate interventions could be implemented for individuals?,
What ground-level community interventions could be applied in the weeks following the event?

1. Human Rights Understanding and Representation
The April 2025 Human Rights Watch report on Panama’s mass expulsion of third-country nationals highlights the tension between state sovereignty and international human rights obligations. The expulsions—often carried out without due process or individual asylum screenings—violate fundamental rights under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the 1951 Refugee Convention. This event adds to our understanding by underscoring the persistent gap between “official” human rights discourse and on-the-ground realities for migrants.

Activism and Agency Intertwined

By Academic Wizard Blog

Activism and Agency Intertwined

Write a 1.5 pages up to 2 pages single-space final essay that brings 3 (you can do more if you wish) weekly themes together around the bigger theme of activism and agency. Make an original argument that ties them all together. To argue for something, you need to first argue against something. Activism is something we all admire (or denigrate) in society, but how is it tied to agency, the ability to shape one’s own life? Do people who have no/little agency have recourse to activism? Does activism deliver or provide much agency? Use themes and materials from the second part of quarter to discuss the activism/agency dyad. In terms of style, your essays are not simple compare papers (they said X and they said y). They are argumentative persuasive essays. You must make an original argument by juxtaposing weekly themes together. You don’t have to compare themes equally; you can prioritize one and use it to discuss the other theme, but the art and skill of writing requires deep analysis and argumentation logic that weaves things together. college-level writing takes practice. Theme 1: racism, sexualiTY, internationalism racism, sexualiTY, internationalism Use the reading “queering the color line within the color” Use lecture slides “lecture week 6 on japan” Theme 2: Palestine, activism, geopolitics Use the reading “spirit in opposition” Use lecture slides “week 8 on palestine” Theme 3: coloniality, authoritarianism, aesthetics Use the reading “Enmeshment aesthetics” Use lecture slides “week 9 on coloniality” Activism and Agency Intertwined

Healthcare Technology for Mr. Jones

By Academic Wizard Blog

Healthcare Technology for Mr. Jones

Overview

Technology has become an essential part of healthcare. As a nurse, it is important to understand how technologies can impact various aspects of healthcare. To become knowledgeable about

the assorted technologies, you must first be able to identify them and describe their key features. This activity will guide you through the initial steps in choosing and evaluating a technology

for its potential impact on healthcare outcomes.

This assignment will help you with Project One, where you will be required to propose a current healthcare technology solution for a problem.

Scenario

Mr. Jones is a 72-year-old male who lives in a rural area more than an hour away from the nearest healthcare facility. After a motor vehicle accident, he was brought to the emergency

department of a regional hospital by emergency medical services (EMS). Mr. Jones was stabilized and evaluated, and it was determined that he needed to be transferred to the nearest level I

trauma center, where he was admitted for multiple surgeries. He was discharged to a rehab facility to continue his recovery. After his release from the rehab facility, he was scheduled for

several follow-up appointments. Because of the use of an electronic health record (ERH), each of the different medical departments had instant access to real-time information about Mr.

Jones’ personal health information. Consider other healthcare technologies that might have also been used to treat Mr. Jones.

Directions Healthcare Technology for Mr. Jones

Using the Module One Activity Template in the What to Submit section, identify and describe three different information and communication technologies that could have been used in the

scenario. Do not use the EHR as one of your choices. Use at least two scholarly, current (within the last five years) references to support your work. Specifically, you must address the

following rubric criteria:

1. Function: Describe the functions of three different information and communication technologies.

2. Application: Explain how each of the chosen technologies work.

3. Special features: Describe any special features of each of the technologies.

4. Uses: Explain how each technology is used in healthcare.

5. Rationale: Provide a rationale for using each information and communication technology in the scenario.

Administration Approach to Cybersecurity

By Academic Wizard Blog

Administration Approach to Cybersecurity

Write a 5-page paper analyzing 2023’s National Cybersecurity Strategy Implementation Plan (NCSIP), which supports the NCS 2023, the Biden Administration’s approach to cybersecurity. Keep in mind that NIST recommends an approach to and best practices for cybersecurity. It is voluntary not a mandatory scheme. However, certain industries require the NIST approach. In addition, Congress has passed laws that mandate the NIST approach, especially for critical industries. A general outline is provided to provide a broad structure for the paper. You may use additional sections and add them to the paper. This is a lot of material, and the paper is brief. The idea is not to be overly comprehensive, but instead to convey that you understand and can clearly state what the NCS 2023 does, how it is expected to work, and to have you demonstrate your ability to analyze a policy and explain how it can be applied from a governance perspective.

Directions Administration Approach to Cybersecurity

In your paper, be sure to address each of the following prompts:

1. Explain your perspective on the NCSIP’s shift to partnering with and relying on the private sector. List 5 key elements of the plan and analyze them. Discuss whether you think this could be more or less successful than the federal government’s previous strategies, based on the elements in the plan and the articles written about it, that are in your resources. You will base your analysis on these, other resources you find and cite, and your experience if you are working in this field.

2. Explain what the NCSIP intends to accomplish and discuss how the private sector can improve the U.S. approach to governing privacy and protecting information. Explain how the transformational changes in technology that are occurring in cybersecurity will impact this strategy by choosing a topic in technology such as artificial intelligence, or digital identification, or the expansive use of mobile devices to provide an opinion on how technology influences how a policy is used.

3. Critique the evaluation of some authors of the NCSIP as a “game changer”; is their outlook too optimistic? Provide sources and rationale for your answer to that question. This means you read the articles provided here that discuss this topic and then support your opinion with information you cite from those articles, or other articles that you found through research.

4. Comment on how the NIST Framework improves the potential for the government or the private sector to manage and reduce cybersecurity risk. As an approach you can cite a section from the framework and explain how this supports risk management.

5. Write the paper with an organized, logical flow of information. Cite sufficient authoritative sources so that it is evident that your analysis is based on the documents provided other documents you find through your research. Please use a consistent citation style.

The format for this assignment is a formal research paper. As such, please follow these conventions:

· Include a title page, table of contents, introduction, and background.

· Cover all key topic areas listed in the prompt.

· Define each topic and support your analysis by paraphrasing, quoting, and citing the documents you read.

· Use a formal citation style of your choice. (APA7 citation style is recommended.)

Administration Approach to Cybersecurity

Follow the Rubric bellow to complete this

What is your perspective on the NCSIP’s shift to partnering with and relying on the private sector?,
What are 5 key elements of the NCSIP, and how do they compare to past federal strategies?,
What does the NCSIP intend to accomplish, and how can the private sector improve U.S. privacy and information protection?,
Is labeling the NCSIP as a “game changer” too optimistic? Why or why not?,
How does the NIST Cybersecurity Framework improve government or private-sector risk management?

Leadership Profile

By Academic Wizard Blog

Leadership Profile

The Leadership Profile assignment seeks to expose you to leaders that exemplify leadership qualities. This provides an opportunity to consider (if you have not already) the qualities of leadership with which you most identify.

Identify effective leadership traits. Search for a business leader that exemplifies the leadership trait. Identify the company and job title for each business leader. Include a description of how the leader exemplifies the leadership trait. Describe if the leadership trait inspires followership and why.

Leadership Profile

Questions:

What are effective leadership traits?,
Which business leader exemplifies a chosen leadership trait?,
What company and job title does the leader hold?,
How does the leader exemplify the leadership trait?,
Does the leadership trait inspire followership, and why?

Answer:
Effective leadership traits include integrity, vision, communication skills, empathy, adaptability, and the ability to inspire others. These traits enable leaders to influence their teams positively, drive innovation, and maintain organizational trust.

One example is Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft. The leadership trait he most strongly exemplifies is empathy. Since becoming CEO in 2014, Nadella has transformed Microsoft’s culture from a competitive, siloed environment into one that values collaboration, inclusivity, and innovation.

Leadership Profile

Nadella’s empathetic approach is evident in his focus on accessibility in technology, his encouragement of a growth mindset throughout the organization, and his ability to listen to employees and customers to drive meaningful change. He openly discusses personal experiences, such as raising a child with special needs, which shape his belief that empathy leads to better products and stronger teams.

This leadership trait inspires followership because empathy creates trust and psychological safety. Employees are more likely to follow leaders who genuinely care about their well-being and understand their perspectives. Nadella’s leadership has not only revitalized Microsoft’s culture but has also helped the company become more innovative and profitable, showing that empathy can be both morally valuable and strategically effective.

Big Five Overview

By Academic Wizard Blog

Big Five Overview

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

We often think about traits when we try to discuss personality. One the most widely used assessments of personality is The Five-Factor Model of Personality (the Big Five). Pick ONE of the following to discuss:

How was the Big Five developed?
How was the research done?
Why is it used so much, and why is it used for psychological research?

OR Big Five Overview

Take one of the online Big Five tests, such as the test available at outofservice.com. If you prefer not to use an online test, look at the Five-Factor Model list of high and low scores.
Which aspects can you relate to?
Summarize anything you wish about doing this exercise and the Big Five test.

You may report your results if you like, but this is not required.

Be sure to cite (in-text) and reference your sources.

How was the Big Five developed?,
How was the research conducted?,
Why is it used so widely?,
Why is it valuable in psychological research?,
What makes it reliable and valid?

Answer:
The Big Five personality model, also called the Five-Factor Model, was developed through decades of personality research using a lexical approach and factor analysis. Early work by Allport and Odbert (1936) identified thousands of personality-related words in the English language. The assumption was that important human personality differences are encoded in everyday language. Later, Cattell (1943) reduced the list through statistical methods, and researchers like Goldberg, Costa, and McCrae refined the structure into five broad dimensions: Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism.

The research relied heavily on large-scale surveys, cross-cultural studies, and statistical modeling. Factor analysis consistently revealed the same five clusters across different samples, suggesting they are universal.

It is used widely because it is based on empirical evidence, shows high reliability, and can predict meaningful life outcomes such as job performance, relationship quality, and mental health. Its broad applicability makes it valuable in both applied settings (e.g., career counseling, organizational hiring) and academic research. Its validity is supported by consistent replication across cultures, languages, and age groups, making it one of the most robust frameworks in personality psychology.

Slide 1 – Title

Title: Remote Access Security Drivers and Strategies
Your name, course, instructor, date.

Slide 2 – Unit VI Lesson Summary (Part 1)

Slide Content (bulleted):

Remote access security is essential for modern business operations.
Growth of telecommuting and global connectivity increases risk exposure.
Remote Access Domain involves policies, authentication, encryption, and endpoint protection.

Speaker Notes:
Explain how the Unit VI lesson emphasizes that remote access is both an opportunity and a risk for organizations. Discuss the importance of aligning security protocols with business goals, and how effective strategies mitigate cyber threats like phishing, malware injection, and unauthorized access.

Slide 3 – Unit VI Lesson Summary (Part 2)

Slide Content:

Threat landscape is evolving rapidly with cloud services and mobile workforces.
Security frameworks like NIST provide guidance for risk assessment and control implementation.
Monitoring and continuous improvement are key for sustaining secure remote access.

Speaker Notes:
Detail the role of standards (e.g., NIST 800-53, ISO 27002) in defining secure configurations. Mention the emphasis on layered security measures—firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), multi-factor authentication (MFA)—and how these form the basis for a strong defense posture.

Slide 4 – Three Key Business Drivers

Slide Content:

Workforce Mobility – Need for flexibility and productivity outside the office.
Cost Efficiency – Reduced overhead and improved resource allocation.
Business Continuity – Maintain operations during disruptions (e.g., pandemics, disasters).

Speaker Notes:
Elaborate on why each driver is critical. Workforce mobility allows access to talent globally but increases exposure to insecure networks. Cost efficiency drives the adoption of scalable remote access tools, but this must be balanced with investment in robust security. Business continuity ensures that critical functions remain operational even during crises, which is impossible without reliable, secure remote connectivity.

Slide 5 – Two Key Device Roles/Functionalities

Slide Content:

VPN Gateways – Secure encrypted tunnels for data transmission.
Multi-Factor Authentication Servers – Verify user identity through layered validation.

Speaker Notes:
Explain that VPN gateways create a secure communication channel between remote devices and corporate networks, reducing risks from interception. MFA servers add an additional authentication layer, preventing breaches due to stolen credentials. Both directly address confidentiality and integrity requirements.
