We have seen an increase in school and workplace violence over the years. Some of these crimes have resulted in numerous deaths in a single instance.

Research any one instance of school or workplace violence and discuss the following questions in your essay:

• What are some events that led up to the incident?
• What are the facts about the incident?
• Who were the offenders?
• What was the initial law enforcement response?
• What was the police response during the remainder of the incident?
• What, if any, changes have been made by those affected by the incident? (police, government, school, workplace, etc.)

After completing the lecture and reading assignments, write a 500-word response to the following questions. Do not use the question in your response.

• Under what conditions will the growth of tax revenues to pay Social Security Benefits equal the rate of growth of labor earnings in the economy? Do Social Security pensions redistribute income from single workers to married workers with dependent spouses and from high-income workers to low-income workers and, if so, should this be done from a Christian worldview?

 New pharmacological agents go a long way in clinical trials and approvals from the Food and Drug Administration before entering a wide market and becoming available to needy patients in the United States. At the same time, for promising drugs that can significantly improve the results of existing therapy or fill a missing niche, this process can be accelerated using the Fast Track protocol (Woo & Robinson, 2015). The latter provides for the filing of a special application by a pharmacological company at the FDA office, which the latter examine within 60 days. If the medicine acquires Fast Track status, manufacturers receive a number of concessions, such as the right to more frequent correspondence and meetings with representatives of this state regulatory body and the possibility of cooperation in conducting a clinical trial. If convincing positive results are obtained, it is possible to obtain FDA approval after a single phase 2 clinical trial (Papadimitriou & Butler, 2017). In addition, the verification process of such a pharmacological agent is significantly reduced from 10 to 6 months.

                                                                    Medical Conditions

    In order to be able to obtain faster approval via the Fast Track protocol, the drug agent must meet a number of requirements. Specific medical conditions are not indicated, but it is prescribed that the effect of the drug should be aimed at treating a life-threatening or dangerous disease, such as heart failure (Papadimitriou & Butler, 2017). A prerequisite is either to improve the outcome of existing treatment, such as a reduction in mortality or disability, or a significant reduction in the toxicity of therapy (Woo & Robinson, 2015). In addition, medical conditions that do not have developed a pharmacological treatment, such as some rare and orphan diseases, are also eligible for faster approval from the FDA via the Fast Track protocol. Therefore, due to this possibility, patients will more quickly gain access to the most modern therapy and increase the chances of a more favorable outcome of treatment.

The FDA made it possible for critically needed medications to be introduced to the US market promptly using the “Fast Track” procedure.  “Fast Track” is a process designed to facilitate the development and expedite the review of drugs to treat serious conditions and fill an unmet medical need (Vaggelas & Seimetz, 2019).  With fast track, FDA is required by the statute to decide within 60 days of receipt of the request whether the conditions for fast track designation have been met (Vaggelas & Seimetz, 2019).  To be eligible for the fast track program, an applicant must submit a request with supporting documentation for fast track designation for the product and its proposed use (Darrow, Avorn, & Kesselheim, 2018).

The medical conditions that warrant “Fast Track” drugs are serious or life-threatening conditions and those conditions that result in unmet medical needs (Darrow et al., 2018).  Determining whether a condition is serious is a matter of judgment, but generally is based on whether the drug will have an impact on such factors as survival, day-to-day functioning, or the likelihood that the condition, if left untreated, will progress from a less severe condition to a more serious one.  Stroke, epilepsy, brain disorders, depression, AIDS, Alzheimer’s, heart failure, diabetes, and cancer are examples of serious conditions.  Filling an unmet medical need is defined as providing a therapy where none exists or providing a therapy which may be potentially better than available therapy (Darrow et al., 2018).

Mission Statements

Prior to completing this assignment, review Chapter 2, section 2.1 in your Constellation textbook and read the article Answer 4 Questions to Get a Great Mission Statement (Links to an external site.) (Hull, 2013), being sure to review this Fortune 500 Mission Statements (Links to an external site.) Now, turning to the company you selected, research and find the company’s mission statement. Then,

• State how the mission statement provides guidance for the company’s organizational activities.
• Evaluate the company’s mission statement per each of the four questions posed in the Hull article as well as your assigned readings for the week.
• Rate the company according to the 5 star rating system used in the Fortune 500 list, stating how many stars would you rate the mission statement. Explain your rationale.
• Rewrite the mission statement so that it better addresses the four questions and forms a complete mission statement.

Carefully review the Grading Rubric (Links to an external site.) for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.

Constructing a useful psychological test is a meticulous process. First, you must to formulate a clear, empirically-based definition of what is to be measured and carefully consider the items and response formats that would best measure this construct. The test items are created based on a theory or by sampling a domain of knowledge. Subject-matter experts are often called upon to generate and evaluate the initial test items. The test is then given to a large sample of people and, after careful analysis, the statistical properties of each item are scrutinized and decisions are made about item retention, elimination, and revision.

As part of this class, you complete many of the steps necessary to construct a test. Test construction can be broken into two main phases. In phase one, you create test items. In phase two, you gather and analyze data from those items in order to choose the best items (i.e., those that best measure the construct you have identified and defined). Ideally, your assignment would be to create items, gather data, and then analyze the data that you gathered. Unfortunately, test construction generally requires data from hundreds of participants, which is impractical to do over the course of one quarter. Therefore, your assignment will be broken down into two parts:

1. First, you design a test. You decide on a construct, write your test specifications, create test items, and have your classmates review your items.
2. Then, instead of gathering data on your own test, you are provided with a set of test data to analyze.

This week, consider what you would like your proposed test to measure. You should select a construct that is applicable to organizations (e.g., intelligence, personality, integrity). You describe this construct and submit it to your Instructor for approval this week.

The Assignment (1 paragraph)

By Day 7 of this week, submit a brief description of the construct of interest for your Final Project to your Instructor for approval, including cited evidence from the empirical literature that helped you create an operational definition of this construct.
