Maternal Health Causal Pathway

By Academic Wizard Blog

Maternal Health Causal Pathway

A causal pathway is the first step in organizing an intervention to address a public health issue. Think of a public health issue you want to address through a behavioral intervention. Throughout this course, we will work to address the public health issue within a specific population. Take a look back at Week 2 and review your discussion feedback as well as the “assignment preparation” module. The public health issue you select will be the same topic you address throughout the assignments this term.

A causal pathway is the outline to identifying the determinants of health of your selected public health issue. Use what you have learned from your studies material to “map” a path FROM the Structural Determinants of Health (SDOH) to a health outcome THROUGH the intermediary determinants of health for the public health issue you have selected.

Maternal Health Causal Pathway

Instructions

The SDOH Framework is outlined on page 25 of your textbook. Construct a “flowchart” (an example is provided below) and a narrative describing the pathway of your flowchart. It is highly encouraged to use PowerPoint to construct your map and use the “Notes” portion below to write the narrative describing the pathway. Please be aware that your ‘notes’ will not be visible in the ‘preview’ of the assignment during the submission process. The instructor will download the PPT file and view the notes on the download.

Your pathway should include at least one complete path from a structural determinant to the health outcome (i.e., there should not be any “gaps” in the connections between the mediating constructs in your illustration or narrative) and the points marked on your map for potential interventions.

Mark the “points of potential public health interventions” on your pathway with a star. You should have at least two points of intervention (one will be used as potential interventions to develop on later assignments). Provide a narrative (in the notes section under the slide) identifying and discussing each of the constructs in your model along with potential interventions that could be utilized to change the points you identified.

Points will be deducted for lack of correspondence between the structural determinants, the intermediary determinants and the health behavior and outcome, and for unprofessional presentation of your exercise (i.e., poor organization in your writing, misspelling, etc.). You do not need to cite literature or provide references in this exercise.

It may be helpful to review the Causal Pathway Example [PPTX] before beginning work on your assignment.

Your submission will be assessed on the following criteria:

Create a pathway from the structural determinants to the selected health outcome.
- Make sure the pathway clearly flows through the structural and intermediary determinants. Please note the structural determinants begin with a policy, governance, etc. as outlined in the SDOH Framework in your book on page 25.
Identify two points of intervention on the causal pathway.
- Why are the points of intervention you identified relevant?
- How do these points of intervention have the potential to have positive impacts?
Describe the connection between the constructs of the causal pathway and the health outcome(s).
- Are the connections clear and easy to follow for someone else?
- Are the constructs clearly explained?
Convey purpose, in an appropriate tone and style, incorporating supporting evidence and adhering to organizational, professional, and scholarly writing standards.

Please note the following when submitting your assignment:

The file must be a PPT or PPTX file of your presentation. You cannot upload slides from google slides or any other cloud-based service. You must upload as a PowerPoint file for the notes to be visible to the instructor when downloaded.

The Public Health Masters Program Library GuideLinks to an external site. and Writing CenterLinks to an external site. may also be helpful resources.

What is the selected public health issue and population?,
How do structural determinants influence maternal health outcomes?,
What intermediary determinants connect the structure to the health outcome?,
What are two potential points of intervention in the pathway?,
How do the components of the pathway clearly connect to the health outcome?

Complete the following activity after reading Chapter 13, the Unit VI Lesson, and participating in the Unit VI Live Lecture.

You will develop a PowerPoint from the information below:

Summarize the content for the Unit VI Lesson in 2 to 3 slides. Next, create a slide for each numbered task below.

1. Identify and describe three key business drivers influencing remote access solutions and infrastructure. Why are these drivers critical to the development of a secure remote access strategy?

2. Explain two roles or functionalities of devices within a remote access infrastructure that you found particularly significant. Why did you choose these specific roles or functionalities?

Remote Access Security Essentials

3. What is one unresolved issue or question you have related to applying security best practices to protect the Remote Access Domain from threats?

Please use the speaker notes function to provide an explanation or justification for your answers on the slides. The presentation must have a title slide and a references slide. Your presentation must be at least five slides, not counting the title slide and references slide. APA Style must be used for citations and references

What is the core content of the Unit VI lesson?,
What are three key business drivers for remote access infrastructure?,
Why are these drivers critical to a secure remote access strategy?,
What are two significant roles or functions of devices in remote access?,
What is one unresolved issue you have about securing the Remote Access Domain?

Comprehensive General Answer (PowerPoint Outline with Speaker Notes)

Below is a complete outline for your presentation, including titles, content, and speaker notes. You can build your PowerPoint using this structure.

Slide 1: Title Slide

Title: Securing the Remote Access Domain
Name
Course
Date

Slide 2: Unit VI Lesson Summary (Slide 1)

Content:

Remote Access Domain supports external network connectivity.
Core concepts: VPNs, firewalls, RADIUS servers, endpoint security.
Secure remote access ensures compliance and risk mitigation.

Speaker Notes:

The Unit VI lesson highlights the importance of securing the Remote Access Domain as organizations increasingly support hybrid and remote work environments. Topics covered include virtual private networks (VPNs), authentication servers like RADIUS, and policies for endpoint security.

Remote Access Security Essentials

Slide 3: Unit VI Lesson Summary (Slide 2)

Content:

Threats: unsecured endpoints, data leakage, and session hijacking.
Countermeasures: encryption, MFA, continuous monitoring.
Emphasis on policy enforcement and zero trust architecture.

Speaker Notes:

The lesson discusses security threats and stresses the need for strict controls. Solutions include encryption protocols, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and continuous monitoring. Zero Trust models are emphasized for all remote access users.

Slide 4: Business Drivers for Remote Access

Three Key Business Drivers:

Workforce Mobility – Remote and hybrid work models demand access from anywhere.
Cost Optimization – Reduces physical infrastructure costs.
Business Continuity – Ensures operations during disasters or disruptions.

Speaker Notes:

These drivers are critical because they shape the demand for scalable and secure remote access solutions. For example, after the COVID-19 pandemic, workforce mobility became non-negotiable. Business continuity, especially in disaster recovery planning, is essential to maintaining customer trust and operations.

Slide 5: Key Remote Access Device Roles

Two Important Roles/Functionalities:

VPN Gateways – Encrypt and tunnel traffic between remote users and internal networks.
RADIUS Servers – Provide centralized authentication and accounting.

Speaker Notes:

I selected VPN gateways and RADIUS servers because they are foundational to secure remote access. VPNs ensure encrypted communication, while RADIUS servers centralize user verification. Together, they minimize unauthorized access and enforce access policies effectively.

Slide 6: Unresolved Question

Unresolved Issue:

How can organizations balance security with user experience in remote access—especially when implementing zero trust without overburdening users?

Speaker Notes:

Zero Trust improves security but can frustrate users with repeated authentication prompts. I’m still uncertain how to maintain high security standards without compromising user productivity or creating friction in daily operations.

Architecting the IT Governance Plan

By Academic Wizard Blog

Architecting the IT Governance Plan

As a consultant to, or manager of, an IT unit within your selected organization, you must be keenly aware of challenges facing your selected organization. This assignment asks you to identify, intellectually discuss, and broadly report on at least two of the most important (in your view) strategic issues faced by your selected organization. In particular, note how these issues have influenced the organization you are considering. Why has the consideration of them positively affected that organization? Conversely, what have been the negative effects on the organization because of not considering them? Make sure you relate the issues and concerns you discuss to IT Governance. Additionally, if failure to properly consider an IT Governance issue has caused the organization problems, how would you alter the IT Strategy? Alternately, if the Governance Issues have aided the organization, what more might you recommend doing? Please provide some detail/examples as you write this paper.

Your paper’s title might be: Considering the Strategic Issues: Their Impact on IT Governance.

Cybersecurity Integration Presentation

By Academic Wizard Blog

Cybersecurity Integration Presentation

U.S. laws and regulations. The M&A team has provisionally accepted the draft cybersecurity strategy and draft implementation plan which you prepared previously. The M&A team has now requested that you contribute a set of summary slides for the M&A team’s Decision Briefing (presentation) to the Padgett-Beale Board of Directors. This briefing is one of the final steps in obtaining approval for the M&A team’s plan for integrating the newly purchased company – Island Banking Services – into Padgett-Beale as Padgett-Beale, Inc Financial Services (PBI-FS).

Before you begin developing your presentation, review your work products from Projects 1 & 2. As you do so, identify the most likely or most significant barriers to success (factors which increase the risk of failure). These can include barriers arising from external factors as well as issues arising from internal company sources. Consider culture and organizational conflict as well as legal and regulatory issues. For each factor, identify a countermeasure or compensatory action which the company could take to reduce the risk of failure. Select the five most significant barriers to success from your analysis. You will include these in your presentation slides.

Develop Your Presentation:
Using your prior work (Projects 1 & 2), develop a high-level summary presentation of your Cybersecurity Strategy and the Implementation Plan. You will need between 20-30 slides to fully address the requirements listed below; this slide count includes the slides for titles, section titles, and references. Remember to include speaker notes for the agenda slide, section title slides, and content slides. Your notes should be at least 20 words / one paragraph but no longer than 150 words / 3 paragraphs per slide.

Your presentation must include the following:

· Title Slide with title, your name, the date, and this course

· Agenda Slide

Cybersecurity Integration Presentation

· Overview of the M&A effort (multiple slides – use the assignment overviews / background sections to put together a summary that answers: who, what, where, why, how)

· Section Title Slide: Cybersecurity Strategy

· Content Slides: provide a summary of your proposed Cybersecurity Strategy (Project 1)

· Section Title Slide: Cybersecurity Implementation Plan

· Content Slides: provide a summary of your proposed Cybersecurity Implementation Plan

· Section Title Slide: Barriers to Success

· Content Slides: five separate slides – one for each factor (identify each barrier to success and provide a recommended countermeasure or compensating action that the company could implement to reduce the risk of failure). This section will expand upon your “barriers to success” as discussed in Project #2.

· Section Title Slide: Summary & Recommendations

· Content Slide: present a recommendation that the strategy & implementation plan be approved by the Board of Directors for adoption and implementation by the company. Include 5 major business benefits of adoption and implementation. This may be new content (not previously included in projects 1 & 2).

· Section Title Slide: References

· Content Slides(s) that include reference list entries for your resources. Do not cite your own work for Projects 1 & 2.

Putting It All Together
MS Power Point .pptx format is the preferred delivery format; this application can be accessed via the Web or downloaded from UMGC under the university’s enterprise license for student use of Office 365. For more information see: https://www.umgc.edu/help/help-article-base.html?knowledgeArticleId=kA00W000000sZpeSAE&articleType=FAQ_IT__kav

If you are unable to use Power Point, you may use another presentation application to create your slides and speaker notes. After you have done so, print your presentation slides to PDF and deliver the assignment as a PDF document. If you deliver as PDF, you must make sure that your speaker notes are visible and accompany each slide.

Additional Information
1. Consult the grading rubric for specific content and formatting requirements for this assignment.

2. Your presentation should be professional in appearance with consistent use of fonts, font sizes, margins, etc.

3. You must include a title slide with the assignment title, your name, and the due date. Your reference list must be on a separate slide at the end of your file.

4. You are expected to write grammatically correct English in every assignment that you submit for grading. Do not turn in any work without (a) using spell check, (b) using grammar check, (c) verifying that your punctuation is correct and (d) reviewing your work for correct word usage and correctly structured sentences and paragraphs.

5. You are expected to credit your sources using in-text citations and reference list entries. Both your citations and your reference list entries must follow a consistent citation style (APA, MLA, etc.). To reduce visual clutter, you may put citations for sources into footnotes at the bottom of your slides (instead of putting citations at the ends of bullet points).

University Student Records Database

By Academic Wizard Blog

University Student Records Database

A prestigious university has recently implemented a consolidation strategy that will require it to centralize their student records. In order to move forward, the local university will need to develop a data model that will retain student records and perform various data extract transform and load (ETL) processes. Imagine that you have been hired as a database consultant to assist in the development of a data design strategy for the student records.

You met with various university subject matter experts and have determined the following after performing various business analysis processes:

Faculty groups are divided by core competencies that the university offers. For example, there are groups such as the art faculty, computer technology faculty, language faculty, and science faculty. Each faculty member has an assigned dean and is designated to teach at one particular campus and school. They are able to teach as many courses as required.
Courses are categorized by course code and title. Certain courses have prerequisites and the university has asked for this to be cataloged as well.
There are various schools within each campus. For example, the Los Angeles campus holds the following schools: School of Science, School of Law, and School of Computer Technology. Additionally, each school offers different professional study programs, such as Forensic Computer Science, Marine Biology, Business Management, and Civil Engineering, to name a few.
The study path for students requires that they be enrolled in a specific professional study program. The professional study program requires the students to complete a specific set of core courses. The university also requires that an online grade book be available. The online grade book should show grades awarded to students for specific courses and the term they completed the course.
The university identifies each student by their name, date of birth, social, and professional study program.

Instructions

University Student Records Database

Using these findings, write a 3–4 page paper in which you:

Analyze the university’s requirements and provide a proposal to organize all the required data elements. The proposal should include the following:
- Provide an entity relationship model (ERM) that will describe the data structure that will store all data elements. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
- Describe any assumptions or limitations for each relationship. For example, professors are able to teach more than one course, or students can only be enrolled in one program.
Create the primary key and foreign keys using a UML class diagram for each table.
Suggest at least four types of business intelligence reports that could help the university in course management, student enrollment, or historical tracking. Support your answer by providing specific business functions that these reports could be used for to assist executives of the university.
Consider outsourcing the functions above as an alternative for development of the database. Research the Internet and other media sources for vendors who develop registrar and school management database systems.
- Suggest three vendors that developed and are employing efficient registrar and school management database systems and support your reasons to choose from one of these three vendors.
- Compare and contrast the key aspects that each system offers. Examples of system aspects include but are not limited to cloud based, pricing model, open source, et cetera.
Go to the Strayer Library to locate at least three quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources.
The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length. Include charts or diagrams created in any chart or drawing tool with which you are familiar. The completed diagrams or charts must be imported into the Word document before the paper is submitted.

This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The library is your home for SWS assistance, including citations and formatting. Please refer to the Library site for all supports. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

Propose a database design.
University Student Records Database,

How should the university’s data elements be organized to meet its needs?,
What is the proposed entity relationship model (ERM) and associated assumptions?,
What primary and foreign keys should be used in the UML class diagram?,
What four types of business intelligence (BI) reports would benefit university operations?,
What are three vendor options for registrar systems and how do they compare?

Here are photos of my grandson, Noah, clearly reveling in the glory of his first day of Kindergarten using an Ipad in a remote learning environment! Do you remember YOUR first day of Kindergarten? For this discussion, let’s ponder and discuss answers to the following questions:

1. Did you attend kindergarten?,

2. What was it like for you?,

3. How is it the same or different from current Kindergarten classrooms you’ve seen?,

4. When looking at these photos and reminiscing about your own experiences, how close to Friedrich Fröbel’s original ideas are American Kindergartens?

Remember, you will use your Canvas Discussions to aid in writing Assignment IV. Please post your response by this module’s initial class date and return to this post to read peer responses. Reply to two of your peers’ posts by module’s end. These posts will also contribute to your participation grade.

Kindergarten Reflections

Yes, I attended kindergarten, and it was a memorable experience. I recall being both excited and nervous, stepping into a classroom full of colorful posters, blocks, storybooks, and the gentle encouragement of a caring teacher. Activities were heavily focused on social interaction, storytelling, music, and hands-on play—some of which align with the core principles set forth by Friedrich Fröbel.

Comparing that experience to today’s kindergarten classrooms, especially in remote or digital environments like the one pictured with Noah, there are clear differences. Modern classrooms integrate far more technology, including iPads and virtual learning tools, and often emphasize early literacy and numeracy more heavily than in the past. While many programs still encourage exploration and play, the academic pressures have certainly increased.

Friedrich Fröbel believed that kindergarten should be a “garden for children,” emphasizing self-directed play, creative exploration, and a nurturing environment where children could grow naturally. In some ways, American kindergartens still reflect these ideals—especially in programs that use play-based curricula. However, the growing focus on standardized outcomes and early academics can conflict with Fröbel’s vision of natural development and joyful discovery.

Reflecting on both past and present, it’s evident that while the core of kindergarten remains focused on foundational learning and social development, the tools, expectations, and environments have evolved. Still, Fröbel’s influence lingers in the emphasis on creativity, the importance of the teacher-child relationship, and the value of learning through experience.

Genogram Research & Family Mapping

By Academic Wizard Blog

Genogram Research & Family Mapping

Another resource that you can use for creating a genogram is How to Make a Genogram Online | EdrawMax Online.

Write a summary (in a Word doc) on your research. Any information you use from any source needs to be cited! Here are a few examples of topics you need to discuss: .

· The history of genograms

· How genograms are used

· How genograms are completed

· What are the benefits and/or challenges of developing a genogram

· Any other information you’d like to share from your research

For the second part of this assignment you will “map out” your immediate family. You may need to contact extended family members for help. If that’s not possible, no problem, do the best you can with the information you have. You’ll start with you and your significant other as well as your children. Then, if possible, please go back two generations. Remember, a genogram is more than a family tree. You need to identify relationships and their status (strong, weak, abusive, etc.), behavioral patterns (teen pregnancy, divorce, substance abuse, etc.), health issues and/or any other issues that you know of or become aware of during your research. Don’t forget to include a key that explains what the lines, shapes, colors, etc. mean.

Please complete your genogram using genopro.com, as a Word doc using whatever shapes, symbols, colors, etc. you want, or you can draw your genogram by hand, scan it, and upload it as an attachment. PLEASE keep in mind that this is not an art class – I’m not looking for a masterpiece. The purpose of this assignment is for you to see what patterns emerge within your family. After you’ve completed your genogram please write a summary ( add to the Word doc you’ve started), that includes the answers to the following questions (as well as anything else you’d like to share): .

1. What did you learn about your family history? (Please share as much as you are comfortable with. This assignment is very personal and your instructor is the only person who will read it.)

2. What was the experience of collecting information like for you?

3. Are there any patterns that emerged that surprised you? (For example communication, addiction, teen pregnancy, mental healthy issues, etc.) Why or why not?

4. How could a genogram help a couple strengthen (in general) their relationship?

5. How could parents (in general) use a genogram to educate their children?

6. Conclude your summary by summarizing what you learned from this assignment and how you can apply it to your family.

this has two parts:

Child Welfare & Children’s Books

1. Summarize the article on diversity in children’s literature or education that you researched. Provide a few sentences of engagement and commentary. Remember that to find the article, you should use internet sites, such as Children’s Literature Assembly. If you opt for other sites, make sure your article is from a .org, .gov, or .edu site.

2. Summarize and analyze each of three children’s books on diversity and inclusion that you read. Introduce each book, the author, and intended age group. Provide a brief plot summary and describe the illustrations. What does each book suggest about the importance of diversity and inclusion in children’s books, and why? Align your ideas about your books with information contained within the article you chose. Make sure to cite your articles and books at the end of your posting in MLA format. Remember that two of the books should feature characters from other ethnicities or cultures, and the third book should feature characters who are disabled (physical, developmental, learning, emotional, etc.). An excellent resource to start looking for books and blogs over Diversity and Inclusion in children’s literature is EmbraceRace.org. Another engaging site that allows you to search their book collections is Diversebookfinder.org. Remember that many books are available electronically for free through public libraries and online resources, such as Worldreader.org .

Assignment 3 -MLA

you have been exposed to a number and variety of children’s books for an array of audiences. For this project, you will get to tap into your creative side and write a short children’s book, a Power Point (15-20 slides), This project must include illustrations and/or photography. Your book will need to feature some aspect of diversity and/or inclusion, either as a theme or with the characters you choose. Your book can be fiction (realistic, science fiction, fantasy, or historical fiction) or nonfiction (biography, autobiography, or memoir).

To help you get an idea for the structure, formatting, content, and use of text and space, open any children’s book and use it as a model.

For this project, you will:

· determine the targeted age group of your readers as this will set the purpose and tone

· focus on a lesson for the book to teach

· focus on some aspect of diversity or inclusion

· create a setting (time and place) and use vivid, engaging descriptions. There are two types of settings. Temporal setting refers to time (Autumn, evening, Christmas, dusk, dawn, 3am). Spatial setting refers to place (the kitchen, Austria, a ranch in West Texas, a National Park, an ostrich farm).

· use illustrations or photography appropriate to the age, audience, theme, and tone of your story. Illustrations and/or photographs may be your own, from someone you know (used with permission), or Creative Commons images from open source cites (e.g., Pixabay)

· use visual balance between negative and positive space

· avoid too much text bunched together on one page

· follow one of the children’s books we have read this semester as a model, in terms of dialogue, composition and placement of images, size of font, title and author pages, etc.

· spellcheck and proofread before submitting
