IntroductionThis week, we will kick off the ePortfolio Project. This will give you a chance to research a topic in the domain of Security Science that interests you. The project will last for 2 weeks. TaskThe project will last for 2 weeks. Our objectives this week are to choose a topic and get the research started. If you want to do more than that, just do it.Discussion Questions:Question 1: Marijuana is often called a "gateway drug" that leads to other addictions such as alcohol, nicotine, and "harder" drugs. However, several states in the US have legalized marijuana for medical use and a few for recreational use in small quantities. If you were a police officer in the United States, would you advocate legalization? Is marijuana really a gateway drug? What could the long-term effects of legalization be?Question 2: Eight nations have successfully detonate nuclear weapons and several others are believed to have them. Only one country has ever developed nuclear weapons and then dismantled them. Many nuclear powers feel that the world will be safer by limiting the development of nuclear weapons in other countries. Countries involved in regional conflicts feel that nuclear weapons make them safer and prevent conventional wars. To what extent is it possible to limit the spread of nuclear technology and fissionable materials? How could this be managed? Do you feel that the possession of nuclear weapons by major countries in the Gulf region would make the Middle East more or less stable?Question 3: The vast majority of scientists agree that climate change is occurring and accelerating. Saudi Arabia is particularly vulnerable with fragile ecosystems and reliance on non-renewable water resources. A recent survey indicates that most Saudis believe that they will be affected by climate change. How do you think Saudi Arabia is vulnerable and how would you suggest preparing for the coming changes.Question 4: Cyber espionage is an extension of traditional espionage. It allows hostile actors to steal information remotely, cheaply, and on an industrial scale. It can be done with little risk to intelligence officers and agents. Globally, how serious is the threat of cyber epsionage at the moment? What can nations do to protect themselves from attacks? Are cyber espionage missions against neighboring countries ethically and legally responsible?ProcessStep 1: Select a topic and begin researchSelect one of the four Discussion Questions above. This assignment will be a 5 paragraph essay ranging from 800-1200 words and will be submitted via Blackboard. You will choose 1 of the 4 Discussion Questions presented in Week 10 (Task 6.11.1) to write about and conduct research. Incorporate at least 3 academic sources. Your essay and sources should all be cited according to APA style.Open a document in MSWord or Google Docs to use for notes.Write a list of search terms.Write a list of any good web sites that you think would help (e.g. open source intelligence sites).Begin your search. Use advanced Search and Google Scholar.Copy / paste links to web sites that look interesting.Make notes next to the links about the contents.Step 2: Collect five or more high-quality sourcesDownload copies of the best sites to read offline.Look for PDF download links.Look for PRINT buttons and save as a PDF.Right-click and choose print or save as.Be sure that you can find the web site again later for writing your APA references!Read your sources carefully.Look for bias, facts, and opinions.Check the authority of the writer.Check the facts presented.Think about how the ideas fit in a larger framework of Security Science.AssessmentThis task is not directly assessed. however, it contributes to the ePortfolio project grade which is worth 15% of your course grade.Please remember that your ePortfolio project will be assessed against CILOs 1, 2, 3, and 4 rubrics DeadlineYou will need to manage your time carefully. Set your own deadlines.Estimated completion time: 6 hours.

For this Assignment, use will practice steps in Evidence-Based Practice. 1) You will think of a practice problem. 2) You then conduct a literature review on available research. 3) You will evaluate the evidence to determine which intervention to use. 4) You will consider client values and your clinical expertise. 5) You will think about what you hope the client gains from this intervention (i.e., decreased depression, increased quality of life, decreased PTSD symptoms) and consider how you might measure this change.To prepare:Choose a population of interest to you.ChildrenAdolescentsAdultsElderly/AgingChoose a presenting problem (depression, family conflict, homelessness, etc.) related to the population of interest.Conduct a literature review focused on the presenting problem within the population of interest.By Day 7Submit an 7- to 9-page scholarly paper supported with a minimum of six peer-reviewed articles as references. In the paper, you should:Briefly describe the population and presenting problem you are focusing on for this assignment.Provide a review of the articles you reviewed from this project and explain what you learned from conducting this research.Briefly describe at least 2 evidence-based interventions currently used for your chosen population when addressing this particular problem. Provide supporting references when explaining the evidence behind the interventions.Explain which of these interventions you might choose to use and why.Consider client values and your clinical expertise and how those might affect your decision of which intervention to use.Describe how you might apply the specific skills and techniques of the chosen intervention.Briefly explain how you could measure the outcomes of this intervention.Explain any cultural considerations that you need to take into account when working with this population or the particular presenting problem.Discuss how the Code of Ethics applies when working with this particular presenting problem and population.Explain how you would apply a trauma-informed lens when working with this population.Support your Final Project with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.

answer two of the following prompts: Prompt 1: Explain in detail the different types of dementia. Prompt 2: Explain in detail the difference between ischemic vs. hemorrhagic stroke.Prompt 3:Explain the use of tPAs (Tissue Plasminogen Activator)Prompt 4: Describe additional treatments and management that could be used in Rowena’s case.
