This week, you are researching various elements that will go into your final case study as part of your final community action plan.

This week, conduct research on the following:

What populations are affected by the public-health issue you have selected? Describe the demographics of this population in detail. How old are they? Where do they live? What is their health like currently?
What do we already know about the population you have identified? Where are our gaps in knowledge?
What are some of the possible solutions to the issue you have identified, and how would these solutions influence public health overall?

For this written assignment, read Chapter 1 of your textbook and watch the videos from McDowell and Pollack. The debate regarding nature versus nurture and how it impacts child development has been ongoing for centuries. This debate is concerned with the extent to which particular aspects of behavior are a product of either inherited (i.e. nature) or environmental (i.e. nurture) characteristics. Throughout history, researchers have often envisioned nature and nurture as separate and opposing influences. Today, developmental theorists increasingly agree that nature and nurture are interdependent, working dynamically together, in child development (McDevitt, 2010).

What is nature versus nurture?

Assignment 2: Automated Teller Machine (ATM)

On an automated teller machine (ATM), the customer is identified by inserting a plastic ATM card with a magnetic stripe or a plastic smart card with a chip that contains a unique card number and some security information such as an expiration date or card verification value code (CVVC). When using an ATM on networked banks, customers can access their personal or business bank accounts in order to make cash withdrawals and check their account balances. For this assignment, consider cash withdrawal transactions from your favorite ATM machine.

Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

Delimit the ATM problem by creating a problem diagram using Visio or an equivalent such as Dia. The diagram must show system components that are relevant to the problem of withdrawing cash. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
Write one (1) paragraph that describes the use and meaning of the problem diagram components.
Create two (2) Structured Analysis and Design Technique (SADT) diagrams to document the activities and data involved in the transactions stated above using Visio or an equivalent such as Dia. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
Write one (1) paragraph that describes the use and meaning of the SADT diagram components.
Provide three (3) possible scenarios of interaction between you and the ATM through a few message sequence charts.
Create one (1) UML diagram for each scenario, from Question 5, to show the interactions. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
Create one (1) state machine diagram for the ATM that covers the scenarios you have identified in Question 5 using Visio or an equivalent such as Dia. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
Write one (1) paragraph that describes the use and meaning of the state machine diagram components.
Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
