SWK313 Case Study One:

You are a social worker in a program with in a non-government agency that supports people recovering from addiction. Steve, a 23 year old man presents at your service as he has been has a upcoming Court date for some drug related offences and his lawyer  told him if he attends a course it will prevent him from going to prison.

Steve has a long history of alcohol and marijuana addiction as well as several prior convictions for theft and burglary. Steve has no family support and left home and school when he was 14 after being abused by his alcoholic step father. He is currently living in transitional housing with friends who are also drug users.  Steve has never been able to hold down a job, but picks up occasional work.

Steve agreed to one of one counselling however, during sessions he would often make rude remarks he was angry and bored and would often walk out of sessions.

 

SWK313 Case Study Two

You are a social worker in a government child protective service and you receive the following report and are allocated to work with the family:

Subject Children:  Stephen (aged 8

                                          Mary (aged 4

 

Parents         Jeanie (b.mo aged 28)

                                          Tom ( b.fa aged (32)

 

Address:       Remote community (during Wet season)

                                           Outstation (during Dry season)

 

Case Manager:      Tess

 

Current situation:

 

A notification was received from a remote community health centre notifying that Stephen and Mary will be air lifted to Hospital due to weight loss (each averaging 200 grams per week). B/mo of the children Jeanie is pregnant and is also considered to be severely malnourished so will also be flying in with the children for treatment.  Family will be accompanied by another female family member who notifier describes as ‘responsible’.   Notifier advised that they had applied the World Health Organisation classification for malnourishment to both children and it meets the ‘severe’ category.  Notifier also notes that it is unusual to need to admit a child of eight (8) years of age to hospital for malnourishment. 

 

Notifier stated they have continued to experience difficulties in following-up health issues for the children because family spends large amounts of time at their Outstation and there is no service outreach to this location.  Previous involvement with the family has resulted in two (2) hospitalisations for Stephen and Mary for failure to thrive and each time their weight had increased on their return to community however contact is lost when family moves to the outstation. Notifier added that b/mo Jeanie has disclosed that there is often little to no food available at the Outstation as it runs out quickly.  Jeanie presents as disempowered when discussing family issues with the health centre and her own serious malnourished state supports the view that her nutritional needs take low priority in the family hierarchy.  The health centre has had no direct involvement with the birth father as he never accompanies Jeanie or the children to their service. When the Centre has used a local interpreter to discuss family issues, Jeanie is even less forthcoming with details of her family life. A staff member at the health centre has told notifier that she saw the father driving around the community recently in a new 4-wheel drive.

 

SWK313 Case Study 3

 

Betty (26) is an Aboriginal woman who lives in suburban Darwin with her Partner (Rick) He is an Anglo Australian casual labourer. They have been together for 2 years and Betty is 6 months pregnant with her first child.  She has visited the hospital for a health check up and the nurse made a referral to the social worker to have a ‘chat’ as she said she had been feeling down and was not very happy about the baby coming. Betty did not identify any other family she was close to other than her partner Rick. Betty works at Windscreens Obrien on accounts, as she has her certificates and likes to work.  She hides some of her money as Rick is in control of the finance’s and she likes to sneak out every now and then and buy something of her choosing. She is worried about the baby coming and not having access to money.

On October 16, 2015, groups in Dr. Tawfik’s Transportation Engineering laboratory were prompted to hypothesize what a company or developer might need to do during the planning process of implementing a Solar Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) system in Fresno, California. The main question that the groups needed to ask themselves was, “What variables will you need to estimate the impact on a transportation system by the PRT project?”

Each of the groups had their own unique ways of interpreting this question. The group that I was a part of wanted to try and identify the variables necessary to evaluate the destination routes, economic evaluation, effects on transportation system, repercussions, and target year. We broke these categories up into two parts. We figured that to make any estimates, we would need to know what kind of data would be needed and a plan on how to collect that data.

The destination route data we would need was population density for various zones in the city, current and future land development, and current location of bus stations. We figured that we could collect said data using census records, speaking with city planners, surveying the population and research current popular bus stations. Group number 5 also had a great idea that pertains to routing decisions. They proposed contacting employers and asking them where their employees lived. This would help them plan for future commuting of employees.

Our group hypothesized that to estimate the economic evaluation we would need to estimate cost of construction per mile, profit, maintenance costs, and efficiency. We figured that a material analysis would be necessary to estimate cost per mile. We could use projected usage rates to estimate profit and to estimate maintenance and efficiency we would contact previous pilot programs and ask them about their current economic data. Group 2 stated that if public approval was not extremely high, we would need to have a long line of investors to fund the project initially.

To estimate the effects on the transportation system, we theorized that we would need quantify the number of people using public transportation currently, what other forms of transportation people are using, and number of people walking or biking for commuting purposes. To collect this information, we could utilize surveys, contact public offices, and again contact previous PRT programs. Group 3 proclaimed that the implementation of this PRT system would reduce traffic on roads therefore reducing maintenance necessary on the roads.

What could possibly be repercussions of this system though? My group argued that we would need to analyze other PRT systems in use so that the repercussions of the system would not be based on pure insight but have defined fact behind it. We thought that surveying the population of cities of whom have PRT systems and see what they thought about the pros and cons. Group 4 believed that there would be a decrease in emissions due to the lower amount of cars in use. This would be a positive repercussion however there would be negative as well. With this system being solar, there would have to be legislation implemented to ensure sunlight exposure to the power cells. This could have a negative repercussion on new infrastructure because there would be a limit to how tall a building could be.

My group believed that this project would be a “medium” time span project meaning that it would take 10 to 15 years from the first days of planning to the final days of construction.
