During and before the Apollo program years at NASA, it was the primary governmentorganization involved in all space technology decisions. Since the Space Shuttle Program,NASA has been reinvented. It transformed from a closed system with a hierarchy that developsits technologies internally, to an open and collaborative network that promotes innovation andcollaboration with other public and private organizations. NASA has become moreinterdependent.

Introduction: Experiment with biosafety virtual simulation lab In the Biosafety simulation, you will be introduced to the concept of laboratory containment, which is a very special type of laboratory required to work with hazardous pathogens.
Laboratory containment Containment in this context refers to the requirements set out by various bodies to safely manipulate such pathogens. In this simulation, you will be able to experience a containment level 3 (Biosafety Level 3 or BSL3) research laboratory.
Learn about lab safety You will become familiar with the basic protocols utilized to ensure safety, and you will be presented with the specific basic safety rules for this type of laboratory (e.g. personal protective equipment (PPE) and primary containment). In addition, you will learn how every part of the laboratory is designed to avoid contamination. This includes learning about why the pressure in the laboratory needs to be controlled at all times (secondary containment), and how the microbiological safety cabinets are designed to offer protection).
Identify the hazard In the biosafety simulation you will be presented with a hypothetical case where you will need to identify a potential bioterrorism agent that is classed as a hazard group three microorganism.
Please note that this simulation has been developed broadly around UK regulations. Some protocols may differ depending on the specific regulations.
Questions:
1. Purpose: Please describe in complete sentences and in your own words, the purpose of this experiment.
 
 
2. What are the different biosafety levels?
 
 
 
 
 
3. What practices would you recommend to be used in BSL 1 and how do these differ from BSL 2?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
4. In this simulation what organism was discussed? Which biosafety level is this pathogen handled in? Why?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
5. What does biosafety level 4 mean? What type of pathogens can only be handled in these labs?
 
 
 
 
 
 
6. Reflection: Write 5 sentences on what you learned from this simulation. What did you like and what was something that you would prefer not be a part of this simulation?

Your manager appreciated your thoughtful analysis on the infiltrate phase and would now like your thoughts on the Activate phase. Your efforts at educating users on the common ransomware attack vectors has been a huge success. Despite that success, some users were caught off guard and clicked through a phishing email message. At least one user landed on a malicious website and clicked a form submission button that allowed the attacker direct access to your network.  Now that an attacker has infiltrated your network, and you suspect they have planted ransomware on some systems:   Choose one of the questions below. What would you communicate to your manager?  1. What, if anything can CAG do to determine if malicious code was transferred over the network and planted on a system?  2. Provide your thoughts on how a defender can gain better visibility over the Activate phase.  3. How do you think CAG can best defend against a ransomware attack in the activate stage?

You were introduced to a ransomware attack scenario during Unit I in which you assumed the role of a recently hired cybersecurity analyst to help the organization to respond to an unfolding ransomware attack. In Unit II, you provided your manager with your ideas on ransomware attack vectors, how an attacker might employ a vector in an attack or how Celinszky Automotive Group (CAG) might best defend against these common vectors.

Identify one concept or topic that you learned about during the semester where the  juxtaposition of the online lessons and the personal narratives (memoirs, your own experiences, your classmates’ experiences, and/or interviews) led you to a deeper understanding of the course material. For instance: · Did you understand the concept  more deeply as we explored different personal narratives?

For your final paper, you will reflect on the way these different ways of learning and sources of information contributed to your understanding of diversity and human development. Respond to the prompts below in a cohesive, formal paper.
1. Identify one concept or topic that you learned about during the semester where the  juxtaposition of the online lessons and the personal narratives (memoirs, your own experiences, your classmates’ experiences, and/or interviews) led you to a deeper understanding of the course material. For instance:
· Did you understand the concept  more deeply as we explored different personal narratives?
· Did your understanding of the concept  change as we added more narratives?
· Was your understanding of the concept  challenged by one or more narratives?
2. Through the body of your paper, describe how the combination of information sources helped you learn more deeply. Be sure to provide details from the online lessons and personal narratives to support your main points. As you think about your answer, reflect on the following:
· How would you have understood the concept or topic with just the material from the online lesson, but no personal narratives? Would your understanding have been complete, or was something missing?
· How would you have understood it with just one of the personal narratives? Would your understanding have been complete or would something have been missing?
· How did your understanding of the topic or concept deepen or change with additional sources of information?
· Which information sources most strongly influenced your understanding of the concept or topic, and why?
· What did you learn that was new, different, or deeper from each information source?
3. Conclude by providing a more complete and complex description of the topic or concept, based on the nuances that you explored in your paper.
Choice of Paper Topics
To help you get started, here is a list of some of the main topics we covered this semester. As you learned throughout the semester, many of these topics overlap. You are welcome to bring additional course concepts into your paper, but be sure to stay focused on one main topic.
This list is not exhaustive – if you have a different topic that really interests you, ask the instructor if you can write about it. We want you to pick a topic that really interests you.
· The influence of context on development
· The appeal and dangers of a single story
· Inequality
· Diversity
· A good life or a meaningful life
· Agency within structural constraints
· Resilience
· Culture
· Risk and protective factors
· Internal working models & adult relationships
· Gender roles
· Family relationships & interdependence
· Factors influencing decision-making
· Balancing critical reflection & empathy
· Being open to alternate ideas
Paper Structure
Introduction
Introduce the topic you will be discussing in the paper, along with which personal narratives you will be using (memoirs, sharing posts, and/or interviews).
Tips: The introduction paragraph should not be too long because you want to get to the heart of the paper relatively quickly, but it should be long enough that it gives the reader a good sense of the overall tone of your paper and what the reader can expect going forward. The introduction paragraph should be a road-map for the reader.
Presentation and Analysis of Evidence
For the heart of your paper, discuss your topic in depth and provide examples to back up your claims. Here is a sample structure for the paper:
· Point #1 (one or more paragraphs): Describe what you learned about the topic from the online course content, along with references to that content. What did this information contribute to your understanding of the topic?
· Point #2 (two or more paragraphs): Describe what you learned about the topic from the personal narratives (memoirs and/or interviews), along with references to the narratives and citations where necessary. For each personal narrative, be sure to explicitly discuss how this information further shaped your thinking about this topic.
· Point #3 (one or more paragraphs): Take a step back and compare/contrast the various information sources. How does the combination of the two sources bring you to a deeper understanding of the topic? Describe the evolution of your thinking as you learned about this topic.
· Point #4 (one paragraph): Be sure to explore alternate ideas, narratives that don’t make sense given what you know about the topic or questions you still have about your topic.
Conclusion
Your conclusion should provide a summary of the main points in your paper as well as any final thoughts you have on the material. In your conclusion, be sure to:
· Provide a more complete or complex definition or description of the topic or concept.
· Summarize the way multiple information sources helped you develop this more complex understanding of your topic or concept.
Tips: A good conclusion not only reminds the reader about what the paper was about, but also pushes the discussion just a little bit further so that the reader is still thinking about the issues even when the paper is over.
The Nitty Gritty
· 3-4 pages, double-spaced
· 12-point standard font (Times New Roman, Calibri, etc.)
· APA style in-text citations
· APA style reference list, if you draw from outside sources. You do not need a reference list if you are only using class resources.
· Writing style matters! Make sure you have an introduction, one clear point per paragraph, a logical order to your paper, and conclusion to help frame your paper.
· Papers must have limited typographic, spelling, and grammar errors to receive a passing grade.

Scenario: Mary Smith has just reported for duty and is reviewing the patients she will have during the evening shift. One of them, Ida Monroe, is on isolation for an infectious disease. Dr. Jerome comes into the nursing station around 9:00 P.M. after making hospital rounds to see his patients. He tells Mary that he noticed that one of his neighbors, Ida Monroe, is a patient, and he would like to review her medical chart. Mary starts to give him the chart and then realizes that Dr. Jerome is not Ida’s physician. Dr. Jerome says not to worry about that since he has taken care of the rest of Ida’s family for years and is sure that Ida will want him to consult on her case. When Mary hesitates to give him the chart, Dr. Jerome says that he will report her to her nursing supervisor. He walks over to pick up the chart. Instructions: Read the scenario above and then, answer the following questions: Should Mary give Ida’s medical chart to Dr. Jerome? Why or why not? What should Mary say to Dr. Jerome? Who legally owns the chart and who owns the information in the chart? Are they the same? What about the patient, can they request their own chart? What would be the best procedure to follow if a patient requested their own chart?
