Application of Programming in Java Project

Task 1, Value: 8 marksIn this task, you are required to provide the definition of a class called Student, which represents a typical (but limited) university student.Each student has a name (which consists of a string of characters – for example: Janet May or Neil Kirby), a unique student identification (ID) number (consisting of a string of exactly seven numerical digits – for example: 1167895 or 8880123) and a course they are enrolled in (consisting of exactly three uppercase alphabetic characters – for example: MIT or BIT).You are also required to define a class called TestStudent, which will be used to perform a number of test used to among other things, verify the correctness of the Student class.In order to maintain the uniqueness of the student ID, your program will need to check that any new IDs supplied by the user is not the same as any of the existing student IDs. The program should also ensure that the student IDs and course names conform to the format specified above.  Following area list of specifications of the Student class:Two fields name,id and course representing the student name, student ID and course respectively as described aboveGet and set methods for each field (getName(), getId(),getCourse(),setName(), setId(), setCourse())A toString() method that returns a string description of a given student objectAn isValidId() method which accepts a string representing a possible new student ID as an argument and returns a boolean value (true or false) indicating whether the new ID satisfies the structural requirements of the student ID or notA idExists() which accepts a string argument representing a possible new student ID and returns a boolean value indicating whether the new ID is already being used by another student or notAn isValidCourse() method which accepts a string representing a possible new course as an argument and returns a boolean value (true or false) indicating whether the new course name satisfies the structural requirements of the course or notYour TestStudent class should be able to perform the following functions:Create an ArrayList object of Student objects called studentList, using the student data stored in a text file named students.txt (you should create this file such that it stores the student name, ID and course of several students initially – one line per student)Allow the user to add as many new Student objects as the user requests to the ArrayList ensuring that each student has a unique student IDWhen the user has finished adding new students to the list, the program will override the students.txt file such that it includes the data relating to the new students as well as the original onesAbility to display a full list of students as well as just the existing student IDs when necessaryEnsure that the program is appropriately documented throughout and thoroughly tested to demonstrate its correct operation.Task 2, Value: 12 marksIn this task, you are required to provide complete class definitions and then create instances of various classes and use methods to perform various tests.(a) Define an abstract class called Staff with the following fields and methods:Fields: name, id, status representing the name, staff id and the status (full, part or casual) of a staff member in an organisation. Encapsulation should be used to protect these fields against intentional or accidental, direct modificationConstructors: a no-args/default constructor, and an overloaded constructor to initialise the fields to appropriate values when the instances of the class are createdMethods: a toString() method to print a string representation of the objects, get and set methods to provide access to each of the three fields(b) Define a subclass of the Staff class called FullTimeStaff with the following additional field and methods:Field: researchArea,a string variable representing the research are of the staff member. Again, encapsulation should be used to protect this field against intentional or accidental, direct modificationConstructors: a no-args/default constructor, and an overloaded constructor to initialise the fields to appropriate values when the instances of the class are createdMethods: a toString() method to print a string representation of the objects, additional get and set methods as required to provide access to the field(c) Define a subclass of the Staff class called PartTimeStaff with the following additional field and methods:Field: timeFraction representing the time fraction of a part-time staff member. This would be a number between 0.1 and 1.0. Again, encapsulation should be used to protect this field against intentional or accidental, direct modificationConstructors: a no-args/default constructor, and an overloaded constructor to initialise the fields to appropriate values when the instances of the class are created(d) Define another subclass of the Staff class called CasualStaff with the following additional field and methods:Field: hours,an integer variable representing the number of hours that the casual staff member works at the organisation. Again, encapsulation should be used to protect this field against intentional or accidental, direct modificationConstructors: a no-args/default constructor, and an overloaded constructor to initialise the fields to appropriate values when the instances of the class are createdMethods: a toString() method to print a string representation of the objects, additional get and set methods as required to provide access to the field(e) Finally, define another class called TestStaff with a main() method to perform necessary testing for the classes defined in the previous sections. In the main method, write the code to: (1) create an ArrayList object to store references to Staff objects; (2) open a text file named staff.txt (available on interact resources), which contains data relating to staff members, create FullTimeStaff, PartTimeStaff and CasualStaff objects based on the first field in each row in the file (“full”, “part”, or “casual”); (3) add these objects to the ArrayList; and (4) test various methods of the objects using loop(s) and methods as necessary, including the code to:Repeatedly display a menu of five options (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5) such thatOption 1 will display details of only full-time staffOption 2 will display details of only part-time staffOption 3 will display details of only casual staff  Option 4 will display details of all staffOption 5 terminate the program

The role of policy in healthcare access and equality | HCM419 | Colorado Technical University

 
Primary Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write  that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.
For this Discussion Board, please complete the following:
The healthcare world and the world overall is now a very different place since the COVID-19 global pandemic uprooted people’s daily lives. Healthcare policy had to change on a dime in many places. For example, hospitals fearing the worst limited the visitation of family members to those loved ones struck with illness (both COVID and non-COVID). New parents had to take turns seeing their newborns. Telehealth has taken on a new leading role in many healthcare organizations because face-to-face visits were no longer acceptable due to nationwide lockdowns. Many organizations did this to mitigate risk and follow strategic national policy. Your organization has decided to take a stand to implement the same strategy. Its policy is to not allow any visitors during a lockdown.
In this class debate, you are going to be placed on a side of the new visitation policy. Your task is to argue for or against the new policy based on your last name. Those with last names beginning in A–M will argue against, and those with last names beginning in N–Z will argue for. You are tasked with presenting your case to the class on why or why not the policy should stand. Cover the following:

Consider how this has changed the way that you view healthcare access and equality.
Consider the risk to the organization.
Consider the impact of the decision.
Should there be exceptions to the policy? Why or why not?
Use data and evidence from literature to support your argument.

Remember that in healthcare administration, you are often tasked with supporting unpopular policy; it is not your job to change this policy; rather, your job is to defend the side that you are on respectfully.

Week 2 – Discussion: Boundaries
Response 1- Jamie
Which one specific ethics code, addressing boundaries, do you feel is important to be included in the standards? Why?
 In ACA standards for school counselors section A. 15. Technical and Digital Citizenship it states, “Understand challenges with confidentiality when using email and establish protocols and boundaries for responding to emails “(ACA.org, 2022). This is an important code on boundaries because it talks about confidentiality with students, but also the importance of boundaries. Now a days with technology students have easier access to students through email or messaging through google classroom sites. There have been many stories of teacher/student relationships that blur these boundaries and waver on an unethical line. It is important as a counselor when reaching out to students through emails and responding that we keep it very professional, share any responses of student’s that may be inappropriate to admin, and keep student confidentiality unless the message shows harm and serious problems that need to be mandated and reported. Social media is another great example of setting boundaries. Social media allows counselors to humanize the profession, educate others about mental health and even connect people with the resources and services they need. According to counseling today, “counselors have an opportunity to use social media platforms to offset misinformation and educate others on mental health” (Counseling Today, 2022). School counseling is a specialization in which a gap is bridged between students and their families to help facilitate student achievement, improve behaviors and attendance, and help students with social and emotional regulations. Through tools such as social media counselors can help advocate for student’s and keep parents informed. Social media needs to be supported by multiple people such as counselor, admin, and a teacher to have more eyes on what’s being posted, how people and responding, and when comments or questions come in, giving appropriate responses, boundaries for successful use without crossing lines, forming inappropriate relationships and have multiple eyes on content and problems that could arise. Having support systems is important.

RESPONSE 2- CLAUDIA
Which one specific ethics code, addressing boundaries, do you feel is important to be included in the standards? Why?
In ASCA’s Ethical Standards for School Counselors (American School Counselor Association, 2022), one specific ethics code that stands out as important and that should be included in the standards is code B.2: Responsibilities to the School. This ethics code covers the various responsibilities of school counselors in their roles as leaders and facilitators within, and outside, the school environment. Various points from the code will be examined below: 
School counselors develop and maintain professional relationships and systems of communication with faculty, staff and administrators to support students (American School Counselor Association, 2022). This point highlights the specific responsibility that school counselors have in collaborating with stakeholders to produce best outcomes for social/emotional, academic and career readiness of students. Through collaborative relationships with stakeholders in the school community, school counselors can gain a better understanding of the needs and challenges of students, align their counseling efforts appropriately, and provide data-driven lessons and support. 
Another important aspect of B.2 is through advocacy. School counselors exercise leadership to create systemic change to create a safe and supportive environment and equitable outcomes for all students (American School Counselor Association, 2022). 
Counselors advocate for counseling programs that are free of non-school-counseling assignments, as has been identified by “The ASCA National Model: A Framework for School Counseling Programs.”  The ASCA framework ensures that school counselors are practicing in their professional role of providing support services to students in the areas of academic, career, and social/emotional wellness. 
School counselors maintain confidentiality and “inform appropriate officials, in accordance with federal and state law and school and district policy, of conditions that may be potentially disruptive or damaging to the school’s mission, personnel and property, while honoring the confidentiality between students and school counselors to the extent possible (American School Counselor Association, 2022) . 
While all the codes are essential to an effective counseling program, and serve to guide counselors in their practice, I believe that code B.2 sufficiently covers all the leadership, advocacy and confidentiality aspects of a school counselor. B.2 addresses the importance of developing professional relationships, delivering comprehensive programs, advocating for equitable policies, creating a safe and inclusive school environment, and adherence to ethical research practices.

Week 2 – Discussion: Hope & Altruism
RESPONSE 4- ASHLEY
Were interrelationships within school organization and the community reviewed?
Yalom shares the interrelationship between group therapy and healing for those struggling with alcohol abuse as it drastically influences change in them. People who grapple with this matter often feel overwhelmed, isolated, and lack control, and the group setting helps individuals overcome these emotions, among many others. Point number 8 reiterates the importance of the interrelationship between combatting substance abuse and interacting with others by stating, “Interpersonal learning teaches clients how to develop supportive interpersonal relationships. (2015)” Working with others with the same struggle allows individuals to support one another by processing the issue together and finding solace in knowing they are not alone and can work towards their goals together. As they witness change occurring in others, their hope is restored, encouraging them for their healing. Although these articles focus on therapy, this same concept can be applied to the school setting, allowing students to engage in community and heal substance abuse through group counseling.
Identify how the various stakeholders engaged in school, family, and community partnerships.
Yalom shares how the group helps participants engage in school, family, and community partnerships. For instance, the group helps individuals improve their ability to relate to one another and gain confidence through healthy relationships. This interaction will translate to students’ relationships at school, family, and community. Depending on their family dynamic, this may be their first introduction to healthy relationships, which may change their life trajectory by allowing them to feel seen, heard, understood, and accepted. Once students embrace the group, they may no longer desire to isolate themselves and may be encouraged to develop a healthier lifestyle.
        Yalom also mentions how the group is cathartic and can lead participants to release pent-up emotions due to the supportive environment, which will also help them as they interact within their school community. In the schools, the counselors can ask students to participate in a mindfulness activity, improving students’ attention to their tasks and growing compassion for themselves and others. One example at my site is Mindful Monday, where the counselor records herself leading students through a mindfulness activity, which teachers project for all nine hundred students, encouraging them to practice deep breathing in times of stress.

RESPONSE 4- Stacey
Were interrelationships within the school organization and the community reviewed? If so, how?
In this week’s readings, I gained new knowledge on Yrvin Yalom’s eleven therapeutic factors in group therapy. The first factor discussed is an installation of Hope, which emerges when clients feel hope due to others struggling through similar struggles in their life and seeing change happening amongst them. The interrelationships that I gathered through readings are the members as a community and as individuals, the families supporting the members in this group, the facilitator, and the therapist/counselor. All of these interrelationships are important and should be valued because it takes all of them to make this therapy group work. The group allows members to feel that they are not alone and makes them feel that their struggle is not unique and they feel supported because of it. This gives people the confidence to make changes in their life. As counselors, I believe it is important that when we form groups we make sure everyone feels that they belong, are supported, remove any feeling of solitude, and make sure that everyone feels cared for. As a facilitator of a group, having these interrelationships with everyone is key and it is very important to have that engagement with all members of the group, not singling people out, and acknowledging that they made it to the group is so essential.
Identify how the various stakeholders engaged in school, family, and community partnerships.
In group therapy, there are various stakeholders including the facilitator, the members, and even the staff helping if any. In a school setting, there are also many stakeholders such as the students, the parents, the admin team, the counselors, and other members who work in the school system.  Group therapy allows clients to help one another by providing feedback and this helps as it allows for the community to share experiences and be celebrated or encouraged, this is also possible within a school setting. The stakeholders in a group setting feel valued by sharing their success and this is when self-esteem is emerged. Another way that counselors can help in this group setting is by being sensitive to the members, and by being self-aware of their own behavior because members start to imitate behavior and they are also watching for other members’ behaviors who are being successful with their struggles. As future counselors, we must always remember that we are leaders in our school community and we are always being watched and imitated. We also are going to be leaders of groups we form and we need to support our members and encourage and be able to always celebrate wins no matter how small or how big they may be.

Health Practitioners Facing Different Challenges Discussion Response

Please respond with a paragraph to the following question:It’s important to understand how various healthcare systems operate in your community and what potential barriers there are to implementing evidence-based practice. Several factors can contribute to decisions that healthcare systems make regarding EBP and those can be influenced by politics, healthcare rules and regulations and local government issues.  Magnet designated hospitals can have issues implementing EBP,  but are more receptive to the idea and understand the importance of quality outcomes for patient care. Nurses that have advanced nursing degrees and are in leadership roles are more receptive to implementing EBP. Transformational nurse leaders embrace Magnet principles and believe in the importance of sharing best practices along with advanced competencies and tools. Attending Magnet conferences can help educate and mentor nurses by using strategies to increase their knowledge on EBP and the importance of using these policies to improve outcomes (Warren, et al., 2016, para. 3).When discussing this topic with my mentor, she mentioned some of the challenges of incorporating new policies within their healthcare system. She said there must be leadership buy-in and accountability with staff. Education must be well thought out and receive end user (staff) approval with a trial run through the information. This will ensure staff buy-in, as we sought their input before implementing any EBP changes. Also, there are different cultural backgrounds that influence some of their opinions and resistance to change.

Week 5 ss final | Criminal homework help

Instructions
Critical Issues in Criminal Justice System
As you complete this course and the program, it is time to look ahead at the critical issues facing the criminal justice system. 

Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research and analyze a major national-level street gang, such as MS-13, the Latin Kings, or the Bloods. Describe the challenges such gangs present to law enforcement. 
Another issue is the use of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) evidence to exonerate wrongfully-convicted offenders. Advances in technology in recent years have allowed investigators to use old crime scene evidence to prove the innocence of some death-row inmates. Describe the efforts being made by organizations outside the criminal justice system, like the “Innocence Project,” to ensure that innocent people are not wrongfully executed. 
The above issue raises the question of how innocent men and women might have been convicted in the first place. For the third portion of this assignment, analyze and discuss the most common causes of wrongful convictions.
For the final part of this paper, examine a critical issue that corresponds to your area of interest. Once you have selected an issue, answer the following:

Given what you have learned throughout his program, what are your thoughts on the issue?

Some issues you might wish to choose may include the use of drones to kill US citizens suspected of terrorism without due process; the use of GPS devices and “sneak-and-peek” searches to investigate suspects; cyber-attacks from foreign countries; police reform and use of force issues; and gun control legislation.
