IT535-3: Create an analysis and design model for a computer network.

Scenario

In 2011, PMI had an 84% market share in the plastic mold industry. Over the past decade, this has decreased to 56% and has not shown any signs of leveling out. After an in-depth study, the core reason for the drop-off has been linked to outdated network and database systems, as poor performance and network issues have caused extended periods of downtime every month. As the chief technical officer, you have been asked by the plant managers to construct a high-level plan that will immediately address these issues and better align the organization to meet its mission and goals. Also, focus on the core areas that you have found within the organization that must be addressed, and rank these in order of most to least importance.

Instructions

Construct a 2- to 4-page research paper that will address the poor performance and network issues that have caused extended periods of downtime every month. This high-level plan must immediately address these issues and better align the organization to meet its mission and goals.

Requirements

The written paragraph-formatted paper should be 2–4 pages long, not including the title page and references. As you research the assignment topic material, all of the pages must have citations and references as appropriate. No more than one direct quotation (of 40 words or more), table, or figure is allowed per page, and bullet lists without substantial narrative included are strongly discouraged. There should be no spelling or grammar errors.

For more information on APA style formatting, go to Academic Writer under the Academic Tools area of this course.

Also, review the university policy on plagiarism. If you have any questions, please contact your professor.

Overview

For behavior analysts, determining the function of problem behavior is necessary to develop effective intervention plans. This is common practice not only in clinical applications but within organizations as well. In this assignment, you will pinpoint a workplace performance problem, assess the reason why the problem exists, and identify strategies to improve performance.

Instructions

Identify a performance problem in your current workplace, a previous workplace, or a hypothetical problem in a fictional workplace. Then complete the following:

• Provide a brief description (one paragraph) of the workplace.
  • You might include the size of the organization, industry, management hierarchy, supports and resources, limitations, et cetera.
• Pinpoint the performance problem.
  • Precisely define the problem behavior so that it is clear, concise, and countable.
• Conduct an assessment to determine the factors contributing to the performance problem.
  • Use the PIC/NIC and PDC Template [DOCX] Download PIC/NIC and PDC Template [DOCX]to complete a PIC/NIC analysis and PDC.
  • Provide an analysis of the assessment results.
• Review the scholarly literature, and identify strategies that would address the performance problem based on the results of the assessment.
  • Your strategies should demonstrate compassionate supervisory practices.
• Discuss your personal experience with this assignment. Examples of what you might choose to discuss include the following:
  • Do you believe the organization (real, former, or hypothetical) would consider conducting an assessment and implementing strategies to improve the performance problem? Why or why not?
  • Were you surprised by the results of the assessment?
  • While the strategies are likely to be effective, do you think they are realistic?
  • Provide any other thoughts or considerations.

Submit both your performance problem analysis and your PIC/NIC and PDC Template to the assignment area.

Additional Requirements

• Written Communication: Writing should be free of errors that detract from the overall message.
• APA Formatting: References and citations are formatted according to APA style guidelines. Review Evidence and APALinks to an external site. for more information.
• Resources: At least three scholarly or professional resources.
• Length: 4–6 double-spaced pages, excluding title page and list of references.

Refer to the Performance Problems Rubric to ensure you understand the grading criteria for this assignment.

Compare and contrast the pathophysiology between Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a destructive neurodegenerative disease with the progressive dysfunction, structural disorders and decreased numbers of neurons in the brain, which leads to long-term memory impairment and cognitive decline. (Xiong et al., 2022) In Alzheimer disease there is an alteration in the brain include accumulation of extracellular neritic proteins, intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles and degeneration of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons with loss of acetylcholine. This leads to accumulation of plaques and the death of neurons. The exact cause of this is unknown but some aspects have been link to genes. For cognitively normal individuals, risk factors of dementia include higher age and lower education.

Frontotemporal Dementia is the second most common form of early onset dementia, with the greatest prevalence among individuals between 45 and 64 years of age. (Ssali et al., 2022) Frontotemporal dementia is an acquired deterioration and a degenerative disease of the frontal lobes like dementia it involves a progressive failure of many cerebral functions that includes impairment of intellectual processes that decreases in orientation, memory, language, judgement and decision making.

Frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer are usually found in individual that are 60 years but the causes of the disease process is different. For Frontotemporal dementia is caused by mutation of gene encoding tau protein and progranulin while Alzheimer are due to mutation on chromosome 21, abnormal presenilin 1 and abnormal presenilin 2.  

Identify the clinical findings from the case that supports a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease

1. Patient got lost in a neighborhood he has lived for 35 years
2. Wandering off and had to be carried home by neighbors
3. Forgetting he has a security system
4. Did not fall

Explain one hypothesis that explains the development of Alzheimer’s disease

In Alzheimer disease there is an alteration in the brain include accumulation of extracellular neuritic proteins, intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles and degeneration of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons with loss of acetylcholine. In Alzheimer patient becomes progressively more forgetful over time particularly in relations to more recent events such as a security system. He does not forget information In Alzheimer disease there is an alteration in the brain include accumulation of extracellular neritic proteins, intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles and degeneration of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons with loss of acetylcholine.

Instructions- Please have minimal grammar, syntax, spelling, punctuation, or APA format errors. APA style references and in text citations within 5 years are required; All elements of the reference otherwise must be included.

Formative assessments are used by teachers throughout the school year to collect performance data on students for a variety of reasons. There are many different ways to perform these formative assessments. Observing young students at play is one such assessment that can yield a wealth of information.

Part 1:  Graphic Organizer

After researching different types of observation methods, complete the “Methods of Observation Graphic Organizer” by describing the methods and the environment in which they are used.  You may use a variety of resources for your information (research articles, teacher or school websites, etc.). 

Support your findings with 3-5 scholarly resources.

Part 2: Scenario and Reflection 

Respond to the scenario:

You are planning to observe one of your preschool students, Jamie, during free play to see if he is in need of services to assist him with gross motor development. Which observation method would work best for you – anecdotal records, running records, checklists, rating scales, event sampling, or time sampling?

In a 250-500 reflection, discuss which observation method you would use to observe this student and why you feel it would be most appropriate. Describe the importance of conducting ongoing formative child, family, and setting assessments to monitor progress and instructional effectiveness and student progress.
