For a long time, the greenhouse effect helped warm up the planet, in the process making it hospitable for human and plant life. However, the industrial revolution changed all this. Ever since it happened, people are releasing more and more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, an aspect that leads to the gasses trapping and redirecting even more heat to the surface. Besides the burning of fossil fuels, human beings also contribute to the increased greenhouse gas presence in numerous other ways (You Matter, 2020). Trees are very important regulators of the earth’s climate. They not only absorb but also store carbon dioxide released into the earth’s atmosphere. As such, when human beings cut down trees to build things or create space for construction, they are interfering with the planet’s natural mechanism of regulating carbon dioxide levels. This allows the gas to build up much faster within the atmosphere, considering there are no trees to absorb the gas. Some agricultural practices also contribute to the increased presence of greenhouse gases (You Matter, 2020).

Prior to offering this advice to management personnel, the company had just gotten rid of its server room and opted for a data center. As such, they dedicated an unused section of the building to serve as its data center. Very few employees had access to this room, and those that did had to key in a password at the entrance to gain access to the data center. In order to improve the security of the company and client data stored within this room, I advised the company to add another layer of protection. This extra layer would be a biometric authentication system. In addition to requiring authorized employees to key in their password, they will also have to place their finger onto a scanner to verify their identity. Thus, an employee will have to key in their password and then slide their finger into a scanner with their fingerprint record to complete the identity verification process. Without these two, an employee cannot gain access to the company’s data center.

The production of fossil fuels has contributed to the harsh climate changes in Saudi Arabia and increased greenhouse emissions. The situation has become more challenging for Saudi Arabia’s government because of its rise in demographic pressures at 2.3%. As a result, attempts to provide for the needs of the growing size will be influenced. The country’s overdependence on fossil fuels has created undesirable impacts such as floods, air, and water pollution. For example, based on the 2016 ranking per capita emissions, this region topped the chart with 527. 2 carbon dioxide emissions (Tarawneh and Chowdhury, 2018). The government and ministerial institutions in Saudi Arabia are overly concerned and aware of climate change’s negative effects. These changes in climate patterns and trends are a threat to the country’s natural, economic and social environments.

The study illustrates the urgency to address the threat of climate change in safeguarding the livelihood of monarch butterflies. According to Faldyn et al. (2018), without prompt action, it is unlikely to reverse the expected dramatic impact on monarch performance. But, they note that safeguarding the ecosystem can positively affect the insects and cause multiplication. Managing temperatures in milkweed chemistry can positively affect monarchs by decreasing parasite loads (Faldyn et al., 2018)  They also discuss the impact of climate change on plant-insect interactions which deteriorates with an increase in atmospheric temperatures as expected from the effects of global warming.

If you want to pick Virginia, that would be great. I posted another question if you’re interested.
Answer preview

Environmental Policy/Programs that address this Scarce Resource Issue

According to Huffman et al. (2018), the federal government’s various departments, such as the Virginia Department of Health (VDH), offer funding programs to address the scarcity issue. For instance, the Betterment Loan Program under the Virginia Code § 32.1-164.1:2 is an organized initiative that funds the establishment and reinstallation of failing onsite systems (Huffman et al., 2018). The importance of this program is enabling the board of health to identify legit lenders to offer betterment loans, allowing community members to repair, replace, or upgrade failing systems. The funding program’s scope and objective focus on reducing public health threats, ground and surface waters, and reducing nitrogen discharges (Huffman et al., 2018). As mentioned, the key stakeholders are the board members of VHD health and homeowners responsible for obtaining loans from the identified lenders.

The information presented in this article can help me improve my practice. The ultimate goal of the study done by Austin et al. (2005) was to change organizational behavior to improve employee and customer safety within the restaurant. Furthermore, the intervention formulated by Austin et al. (2005) helped the restaurant’s dishwashers and servers improve their task completion performance. As a behavior analyst, I will be expected to work with clients to help them achieve their goals. One of the techniques I will be using will be task analysis. Austin et al. (2005) demonstrated that task analysis followed by an appropriate intervention could help improve employees’ chances of correctly completing their tasks. As such, when using the task analysis technique, I will ensure that I propose an effective intervention that will help employees better complete their tasks and achieve their goals.

I have learned that sources from international bodies specializing in global virus outbreaks are highly reliable for research. For example, both articles have provided insight and statistical data reports from the World Health Organization. This resource is credible and reputable for providing access o trusted health data for the public and authors. The World Health Organization has been on the frontline of regularly updating the public globally about the Covid-19 and its impact. Therefore, it is a reliable source for the research question; How has Covid-19 impacted students’ mental health? The patterns and themes of the sources utilized to portray a trend in examining the effect of the Covid-19 outbreak on students in higher learning education.

The advert image depicted above showcases a middle-aged couple, with the man dealing with hearing loss. In the advert by Healthy Hearing, the healthcare professional advises the couple on the benefits of using hearing aids to combat hearing loss. According to Tyler (2020), hearing challenges increase during middle adulthood. In addition, numerous middle-aged adults find it more challenging than young adults to understand speech when they are in noisy environments. Tyler (2020) also points out that as people age, they lose the ability to hear higher frequencies. However, studies have demonstrated that hearing aids can help address these challenges.

. For instance, during birth, the adrenal glands undergo atrophy due to the shrinkage of the interior layer of the cortex. Further, during adolescence, the thymus and lymphoid tissues atrophy. The widespread cell atrophy as age advances results from changes in blood supply and nutrition in an active mature life. The reduced nutritional aspect becomes a concern contributed by starvation or lack of food absorption due to the prevalence of a health disorder. Despite the reversible trait, early detection of cell atrophy is crucial to mitigate high mortality rates that emerge as a consequence.

While complying with the Clean Air Act is important, special concerns should focus on identifying how to minimize the gas and oil industry pollutants. According to the Clean Air Task Force (CATF) (2) fact sheet, these pollutants are contributors of smog and ozone particles that have caused approximately 1200 children to suffer from asthma attacks. Worrying, no county outside South Carolina State escapes the health risks from the pollution. Although the State does not have gas and oil reservoirs, the intense activity of these commodities in the respective industry contributes to the air pollution that spreads across the state borders (2). Hence, the emphasis on promoting health safety through the thorough implementation of the air protection federal standards will significantly improve air quality and people’s well-being.
