Instructions: Technology makes vast amounts of information (and misinformation) readily available. The challenge is navigating this sea of information. Our goal for your general science education is to develop your scientific literacy. A critical skill you must develop is the ability to find reputable sources for scientific information. There are many sources of high-quality scientific information on the open web; you just need to learn how to spot them.

For this week’s discussion:

Select a source of chemistry information from the open web (the topic can be any topic related to chemistry or that of your research topic).

Evaluate the source and explain why it is or is not a credible source of information.

Provide a reference in APA format.

Use the name of your source as the title of your discussion post. 

Should be at least 250 words and 2 reference 

Why is it important to specifically identify those individuals who are the most vulnerable in terms of getting a certain disease or diseases? 

Why do general or mainstream approaches typically not work on those high-risk populations or groups?

REPLY TO MY CLASSMATE’S RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTION AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU AGREE? (A MINIMUM OF 125 WORDS EACH POST)

                                                       CLASSMATE’S POST

Recognizing individuals who are most vulnerable to disease susceptibility is important because individuals in this high-risk population may further be susceptible to additional diseases given their determinants of health.  The exacerbation of disease outcome may be the result of factors such as socioeconomic status or other conditions that hinder disease recovery. Therefore, it is important to implement specific interventions that address the populations as, without a public health intervention, the disease may be further compounded.

Given this high-risk population, there are mainstream approaches that do not typically work in these groups.  One reason is that high-risk populations may have higher complexities of risk factors which include individual, peer, family, school, communities, and societal domains. These domains must first be addressed with interventions that involve building trust, access, and other modalities that offer a more tailored approach to high-risk populations in order to be successful.

Imagine that you are a new manager responsible for the IT team in a start-up company that provides hosting services for online storefronts. Shortly before you were hired, the IT systems were compromised, resulting in the services going offline for almost 24 hours before services were restored. As a result, the business suffered financial losses that it could ill afford as a start-up company.

The CEO of the company has directed you to put together a plan to mitigate future risks. The first step is to assemble a team of subject matter experts to help you create the plan. The CEO wants to review a list of the recommended team members before you proceed with the plan. You need to create a list of recommended team members in a form for submission to the CEO. In creating the recommendation, evaluate each role selected, documenting the value that the team member will bring to the process. Also, document any potential issues where team members might have conflicting priorities and you would resolve any conflicts. Don’t use generic terms like “Risk Owner” “Risk Manager” etc. You are not limited to the IT department for team members.

The purpose of this assignment is for students to provide a quick “3-2-1” reflection on the module material and how they were able to achieve the module learning objectives.  This assignment is constructed in a blog format, but is not a traditional blog.  

Assignment:

Respond to the following “3-2-1” Question Prompts in reference to defining criminology and understanding the importance of studying crime:

3- Share 3 things that you learned from this module, or that you found interesting.

2- Share 2 things that were muddled, or you did not quite understand.  

1- Share 1 “Ah-Ha” moment that you experienced during this module.  This should be something that may have surprised you.

Grading Criteria:

Responses should be relatively short, but specific, and exclusive to the module resources and learning objectives.  These entries will be visible to the class so that students can view each the entries. 

You are not required to respond to classmates for this assignment.  However, extra credit is built into the rubric for helping your classmates with the 2 areas that were muddled or confusing.  Comment on their blog with some information that will help to provide some clarity.  The information in your response must be credible, and not just opinionated.  

Please see grading rubric for further details.
