Assignment 2: Fieldwork Observation Task

Fieldwork Observation: Overview

In this course, you will experience a fieldwork placement designed to introduce you to professionals and to specialized practices in the field of forensic psychology. This assignment will help you learn how to apply the knowledge learned in this course in the real world as well as develop and polish your networking skills.

In Module 1, you will investigate and develop a list of potential fieldwork locations for observing and talking with forensic psychology professionals. Develop a list of at least three potential placements. There is a wide range of professionals who work within the legal and correctional systems. Your interaction with these professionals can be face-to-face, as with a tour of a facility or an interview, or it can occur over the phone when face-to-face meetings are not practical.

You have three fieldwork-related assignments in this course.

To prepare for your fieldwork, perform the following tasks:

· Develop a plan in Module 2 in which you identify options and develop time lines for the fieldwork you will complete throughout the course.

· Document plans for specific days and times for the observation and conversation scheduled for fieldworks to be conducted.

· Actively plan, reconfirm, and conduct fieldwork activities; however, the actual scheduling of these activities may be staggered to accommodate fieldwork practitioner’s schedules.

· Develop alternate plans in the event one or more scheduled activities might be cancelled.

Your fieldwork observation should include the following:

· Name of the professional

· Affiliation of the professional

· Degrees and licensure

· Types of training in forensic psychology (if applicable)

· Primary job responsibilities

· Client population served

· Any ethical conflicts the professional routinely encounters

· Recommendations to a graduate student in forensic psychology

· Other observations as deemed appropriate

· Reflection on what you learned from the fieldwork experience

By Module 2, you should have a schedule for conducting your fieldwork assignment so that you can submit a fieldwork plan in M2 Assignment 1. You will report on the fieldwork experience in M3 Assignment 2 RA 1.

It is crucial to contact individuals this week in order to arrange a time to meet or converse with them as many of them may have busy schedules and will need advance notice.

Identify Potential Fieldwork Locations

In this module, you will investigate and identify options for observing and discussing with professionals on various aspects of forensic psychology at work in the legal system. The fieldwork observation can occur at a variety of facilities and with a range of professionals, including, but not limited to, the following:

· Forensic psychology professionals in private practice

· Forensic psychology professionals working in a correctional setting

· Mental health professionals in facilities providing forensic services such as community-based treatment for offenders or crisis centers accepting involuntarily admitted patients

· Attorneys who work with forensic psychology professionals as in family law, personal injury for psychological damages, or with issues of competency and criminal responsibility

· Police departments

Note: Some police departments may only use psychology professionals on a consulting basis. Therefore, it would be helpful to inquire at the local police agency about whether it has a psychology professional among the staff or whether it uses one as a consultant for preemployment evaluations. You may also want to speak with polygraph administrators who assess offenders.

· Mental health professionals at juvenile detention centers and mental health professionals who provide services to victims of abuse and sexual assault in public and private agencies

· Polygraph administrators who assess offenders

· Mental health professionals who work with children and adolescents involved in the legal system, such as juvenile courts

Tasks:

In a minimum of 250 words, respond to the following:

· Develop a list of three potential fieldwork locations.

· Describe why each might be of interest and value. Also, include any additional information gathered about each location.

All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.

GM Foods Written Assignment (due 1/2)

HW DUE    Jan/2/2018        2PM     Los Angeles Time Zone 

Must be at least 1 page without the resource page 

Assignment:

When it comes to labeling the food we consume there are generally two approaches.  A product can be labeled when something has been added (ex. Vitamin D Milk) or when something is not present (ex. Gluten-free).   Clearly explain your opinion on the labeling of GM salmon. What type of labeling, if any, should be required?  Should this labeling be voluntary or mandatory? Your explanation should discuss the current labeling recommendations for GM foods in general and GM salmon specifically, and the rationale behind these recommendations  (this means you will need to do a little research – be careful to use reliable sources).

Here’s an article with an overview of GM salmon to get you started

Biology 101 Writing Assignment Guidelines

The written assignments are designed to provide opportunities for the student to find, evaluate, select, synthesize, organize, cite, and present information and arguments clearly and effectively for understanding scientific issues on personal, societal, and global levels.  This requirement is designed to help students achieve the University-wide Student Learning Outcomes (UPS 300.003) specifically to “communicate clearly, effectively, and persuasively, both orally and in writing”. (See: http://www.fullerton.edu/senate/publications_policies_resolutions/ups/UPS%20300/UPS%20300.003.pdf )

It is important that your assignments are thoroughly researched and clearly written.  You should define all your terms and be concise.  These assignments are designed to give you the experience of applying your knowledge of biology to a current controversy or topic of interest.  You will use the same sort of method that you will later use as an informed citizen and consumer when making decisions that involve biology. You should review the relevant chapters in your textbook, other course materials and use other sources to fill in missing information when necessary.

The structure of your paper

  • Be sure to cover the points mentioned in each individual assignment and define all technical terms that you use in your own words.  Your paper needs to be written so the average person can understand it.
  • You are encouraged to use first and/or second person in all of these writing assignments.
  • Your paper must be between 1/2 -1page (not including references).  The second page is only for the complete references of the material cited in your paper.  Any portion of your text on the second page will not be read or graded. Your paper should be double-spaced with one-inch margins, using 12 point Times New Roman font.  No cover page or heading is required (the body of your paper should begin on the first line of the first page).
  • You are not allowed to include any quotes in your paper.  All of your writing must be original. You must properly paraphrase ideas from the literature, even if you provide an in-text citation.
  • Information and ideas that are properly paraphrased must be accompanied by proper in-text citations in the body of your paper and a corresponding reference in American Psychological Association (APA) format. Note: only the references need to be in APA, other APA formatting items (such as a title page) should not be included.
  • You need to review your paper for format, spelling, grammar and usage errors before you submit it, or you will lose points.
  • Please also review the grading rubric before submitting your paper to make sure that you have done everything you can to receive a good grade.

Many antibiotics, like penicillin, are derived from fungus or molds (or even other bacteria!) Why would these organisms produce antibiotics?

October 26, 2022 in /by

 

1. A local farmer presents to the hospital with a nasty wound.

The wound started as a small scratch that he sustained when butchering up a cow that had died on his farm.

Amazingly, the wound is not painful.

Normally the skin is a barrier to microorganisms. Name two qualities of the skin that make it the most important first line of defense.

2. In a burn patient, along with dehydration, what is the most important concern to doctors?

3. This is a sample taken from the farmer’s wound and view on a light microscope.

Do you think this is a type of bacteria, virus, or prion?  Why?

4. After being wounded, what type of cells (part of the second line of defense) begin to fight off bacteria?

How do these cells know that the bacteria have penetrated through the skin?

5. The man is prescribed clindamycin for the wound, since he is allergic to penicillin.

How could this antibiotic kill bacterial cells and not cause harm to the cells of his body?

6. If the farmer decides to stop taking the antibiotic before the infection is cleared up, what impact will this have on the bacterial population?

How does this relate to antibiotic resistance?

7. Many antibiotics, like penicillin, are derived from fungus or molds (or even other bacteria!)

Why would these organisms produce antibiotics?

8. We know that all bacteria are not harmful.  Other than the bacteria in the digestive tract, give one example of bacteria being useful to us.

9. The plot thickens…

· Later that day, the farmer’s wife comes into the office with severe gastrointestinal symptoms:

· abdominal pain

· fever

· severe diarrhea

· vomiting blood

What does the fever indicate?  Why can fevers be beneficial?

10. What could be a reason for her vomiting and diarrhea?

11. What does the swelling in the area of her neck indicate?

12. How did the bacteria enter her lymphatic system from the gastrointestinal tract? (Think of the villus structure when answering!)

Press Tab to enter the content editor. For the toolbar, press ALT+F10 (PC) or ALT+FN+F10 (Mac).

13. Could bacteria be in her bloodstream as well?  Explain.

· 14. The nurse takes the woman’s “vitals”.

· heart rate = 120 beats/min

· respiratory rate = 30/min

· blood pressure = 80/40

What do you think about these values?

15. The bacterial toxins generated by the infecting organisms can trigger complex reactions of the immune system including release of histamine.

How does histamine affect blood vessels?

Could this have anything to do with her vital signs?  Explain
