To prepare for this Assignment, imagine that you are the social worker assigned to work with Paula Cortez (see the case study, “Social Work Research: Single Subject” in this week’s resources). After an initial assessment of her social, medical, and psychiatric problems, you develop a plan for intervention. You also develop a plan to monitor progress in your work with her using measures that can be evaluated in a single-system research design. As a scholar practitioner, you rely on research to help plan your intervention and your evaluation plan.

Complete the Cortez Family interactive media in this week’s resources. Conduct a literature search related to the chronic issues related to HIV/AIDS and bipolar mental disorder. Search for additional research related to assessing outcomes and theoretical frameworks appropriate for this client. For example, your search could include terms such as motivational interviewing and outcomes and goal-oriented practice and outcomes. You might also look at the NREPP database identified in Week 1, to search for interventions related to mental health and physical health.

Submit a 5- to 7-page proposal/research plan for single-system (subject) evaluation for your work with Paula Cortez. Identify the problems that you will target and the outcomes you will measure, select an appropriate intervention or interventions (including length of time), and identify an appropriate evaluation plan.

Include a description of:

The problem(s) that are the focus of treatment
The intervention approach, including length of time, so that it can be replicated
A summary of the literature that you reviewed that led you to select this intervention approach
The purpose for conducting a single-system (subject) research evaluation
The measures for evaluating the outcomes and observing change including:
Evidence from your literature search about the nature of the measures
The validity and reliability of the measures
How baseline measures will be obtained
How often follow-up measures will be administered
The criteria that you would use to determine whether the intervention is effective
How the periodic measurements could assist you in your ongoing work with Paula

natural disasters as incredible challenges for individuals.

September 7, 2022/in Uncategorized /by admin

Write a 2 pages paper on natural disasters as incredible challenges for individuals. Natural disasters create incredible challenges for individuals, societies, and nations.&nbsp. The loss of human life and infrastructure, both human and physical is devastating to the psychic and economic well being of all involved.&nbsp. But after the mourning for lost family members and friends, could it be possible that natural disasters are actually good economically for the nations that experience them? Clearly, history shows us that this is not always the case.&nbsp. Fagan (1) shows how drought and other disasters created by a naturally fluctuating climate caused the downfall of several ancient civilizations.&nbsp. But in more modern economies, a natural disaster actually appears to have the potential to improve the economy of a nation.&nbsp. Bennett (2) points to the Sichuan, China earthquake that killed nearly 80,000 people in 2008.&nbsp. Official governmental records show that the economy actually grew at a faster than normal rate for the area affected by the earthquake.&nbsp.&nbsp. While economic statistics from the central government in China are notoriously inaccurate, there is little doubt that the economy did actually grow in the short and the long term during the months after the earthquake.&nbsp.In a way, natural disasters can be a sort of economic boon if some of the aid money is directed and used with an eye to the economic future of the nation.&nbsp. Aid money, however, can bring its own set of economic hindrances, as Collier (5) is quick to point out.&nbsp. Aid can actually act as a trap that prevents growth in the long run. How should we best help those in need after a natural disaster?&nbsp. What to do for Haiti?&nbsp. First, we need to address human needs.&nbsp. The basics of life need to be provided quickly and logically so comfort and order can be maintained in the short term.&nbsp. The intermediate aide is then needed to rebuild communities and then the third wave of aid should focus on replacing damaged and inefficient infrastructure.&nbsp. In this way, a nation such as Haiti may immerge from a disaster with a more competitive industrial infrastructure that is capable of competing in a global economy. &nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp. &nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.

Initially, Eteraz is identified as The Promised- Albir ul Islam meaning perfume of Islam and this triggers his parents’ for him to attain a pious life following his father’s earlier covenant (mannat) with God long before his birth. “Ya Allah! If you give me a son, I promise that we will become a great leader and servant of Islam.” Eteraz future life is predetermined following his journey and mother to Hajj while a baby rubbing his chest on the Ka’ba’s wall in Mecca aimed making him receive blessings from Allah to be a religion’s reverence which actually shaped his life.

Ali goes through the twist and turns as he thrives to achieve the laid covenant the father had entered in readiness to his writing career. Early life is revealed to be embedded on an imaginary journey starting from his childhood dessert Pakistan life as he goes through madrassa education as well as the fanatical tales about being possessed by jinns, visited by angels as well as death by black magic. His life is further shaped where he is portrayed as a teen immigrant to the Bible Belt based on home fundamentalist parents as well as American teen life experience.

His experience is further amplified as he is portrayed as a college campus as he makes ends meet with the internal battle to strike a balance between piety and sexuality making him travel to Pakistan to get a hijabi wife making realized that conflicts between Islam and fluid nature between heretical and orthodox (Eteraz 11). While in Manhattan, he discovered his descendent amplifying his fundamentalism hence developed a passion for Islam after becoming Abu Bark Ramaq. He thus gets to explore his faith based on secularism and extremism, the main opponents dismissing Osama as messianic pretender and opportunist.

With respect to Pakistan life, the family is deeply rooted in Islamic culture based on the father initial covenant with God long before The Promised- Abir ul Islam was born. The mother is seen taking&nbsp.him and rubbing his chest in hajji to bless him to become reverence of Islamic religion.
