NIH Case Study             As a member of the committee of the National Institute for Health (NIH) charged with the responsibility to evaluate two projects, namely, a 5-year community-based trial of an oral rotavirus vaccine and another 5-year subsidy of a continuing influenza vaccine distribution program of DHHS administered throughout the US. I will vote for project number 2 on the subsidy for an ongoing influenza vaccine. The rationale for voting this project is that it has more benefits than costs. First, the project will save more lives than the first one. According to the data on the project, the vaccine promises to save 20,000 Americans who are elderly and those with deficient immunity. The rotavirus vaccine will save fewer children than the subsidy project would protect elderly Americans. Because rotavirus accounts for just 10% of all diarrhea affecting infants in the South American country, the vaccine will save the lives of 80% of 20,000 cases of infant diarrhea. The 80% corresponds to the proportion of all infants diarrhea hospitalizations caused by rotavirus. Mainly, this means that the vaccine will…

case study on Edward Snowden Introduction After analyzing the case study on Edward Snowden, the researcher has realized that Snowden’s disclosure of private documents had a significant impact on the Canadian Securities law. According to the opinions of many legal experts, it is evident that his actions violated the Espionage Act of 1917 (Greenwald, 2014, p. 1). Snowden has thus, been subjected to the breaking of the law since he provided various reporters at the Guardian and NSA programs with information that caused the public to know that they were subjected to government surveillance. In turn, NSA responded, stating that the traffic records were collected with the aim of identifying links of various terrorist activities. Ethical Issues and Implications From the Kantian perspective, Snowden violated a perfect moral duty through his actions. However, from the same perspective, the American government was wrong since the Kantian ethics opposes against using people as a means to an end (Robert, and Adam, 2016). It was equally unethical for the government to hide from the citizens the activities they were carrying out with regard…

Bilingual Case Study Proficiency and Report There are various clinical and successive methods of analyzing the proficiency of students in the language. For individuals traveling to the US or the UK from other English or non-English speaking regions, the Test of English as a Foreign Language allows for understanding the proficiency of students in English languages (Bratton, 2018). However, there is no standard test for understanding the mastery of two or more languages. The Student Oral Language Observation Matrix (SOLOM) allows for observation of languages spoken by students and their proficiency (Bondy & Wong, 2013). This test allows for better planning and understanding of handling individual student, From the Solomon Matrix, I found that the majority of students born between the year 2005 and 2017 had challenges understanding and acquiring a second language. According to (Bharar & Lee, 2018), student mastery of more than one language is influenced by their background. As a result, after doing further analysis, I found out that most of the Caucasian descent did not know their native language due to parenting.  In the sample of…

Case study for group presentation – LGBTQ Part 1: Question from the Study Alex’s suffering had become unbearable, and she wanted to escape the pain she was facing. She felt hopeless and isolated to the point where she felt that death was the only way she would be relieved. However, she was conflicted about ending her own life. Alex had the confidence to approach a local organization to seek counseling. I would give her the chance to express her thoughts and feelings to provide relief from loneliness since she isolated herself from friends and unexpressed negative feelings. I would let her vent and unload her feelings then reassure her that she is not alone, some people care about her and help is available and that suicidal feelings and thoughts are temporary. Support available for the transgender individual from their social networks can help ease these challenges; for instance, the development of supportive social networks whose main objective is Gender and sexual identities. Principles such as community-based participatory research can help in the collection and analysis of information. Finding a qualified…

Case study 1 Malaria I want to point out the fact that Malaria is a disease that threatens the life of many people in the world. An infected Anopheles mosquito mainly spreads it after biting an individual. These mosquitos carry a parasite known as plasmodium that is released to the bloodstream after the bite. Sometimes back, I was infected by Malaria, and my doctor said that the moment that parasite gets into your body, they travel directly to the liver to mature. After many days, the mature parasites enter the bloodstream and begin to infect the body defense system like the red blood cells. Malaria is caused by an infected mosquito that has a plasmodium parasite. WHO also suggested that people are infected by different kinds of malaria parasites such as Plasmodium vivax, P. ovale, P. malariae, and P. falciparum. The most dangerous is Plasmodium falciparum, which causes a severe type of the disease that has high risks of death. Also, an infected mother can transmit the disease to the baby during birth, which results in congenital malaria. Malaria is…

CYBERSECURITY CASE STUDY REPORT Abstract Every system, architecture, and application needs to be designed with Security in mind. There’s too much at risk. For instance, a denial of service attack could prevent your customer from reaching your web site or services and block you from doing business. And a data breach could be even worse — as it can ruin hard-earned trust, while causing significant personal and financial harm. As administrators, developers, and IT management, we all must work to guarantee the Security of our systems. This paper, therefore, focuses on the recommendation for a regional data center design. Further, the paper examines the possible vulnerabilities for the network architecture as well as the giving recommendations on reasonable measures, which are essential as far as mitigation of these vulnerabilities is concerned. Introduction The design shall divide the world into regions that are defined by geopolitical boundaries or country borders. Geography is a discrete market typically containing two or more regions that preserve data residency and compliance boundaries. However, Data residency refers to the physical or geographic location of an organization’s data or…
