Rutter’s (1998, 2001) theory of attachment, critically evaluate its usefulness to a child psychologist for understanding that aspect of development. Make reference to research evidence, other relevant theories and methodology in your answer. (3000 words). The focus has to be specifically on Rutter’s Theory of attachment (and its usefulness for a child psychologist). You need to describe Rutter’s theory, critically evaluate his adoption studies with Romanian orphans and any other relevant studies. Then you need to compare his theory to Bowlby’s.

The highly synergistic, broad spectrum, antibacterial activity of organic acids and transition metals
Zhitnitsky, D., J. Rose & O. Lewinson (2017) Scientific Reports, 7:44554. DOI: 10.1038/srep4455
Redacted Discussion
The worldwide rise in bacterial infection-associated morbidity underscores the need to implement novel approaches to limit bacterial growth41. Antibiotics remain the treatment of choice but their excessive and injudicious use has led to high incidences of drug and multidrug-resistant bacterial strains42. Moreover, agricultural use of antibiotics and bactericides results in environmental damage and can lead to widespread and unpredicted harm to wildlife43. It is therefore crucial to find alternatives to conventional antibiotics. In this work we present an inexpensive and viable alternative by simply using combinations of compounds that have relatively low toxicity to humans, animals, and plants. This particular approach is simple, readily applicable and effective. Organic acids are perhaps the most common food preservatives and it would be very simple to add zinc or copper (ordinary dietary supplements) as an additional preservative.
We showed that the common food-borne pathogen Salmonella enterica is poorly inhibited by both organic acids and transition metals, yet completely inhibited by their combination. This was also true for all the other bacterial species that we tested (including pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Vibrio cholerae). We therefore suggest that food preservation can be improved by exploiting the synergistic effect of combining simple organic acids and metals. A similar revision to strategies to protect crops is suggested. World-wide, copper is routinely sprayed on crops, orchards and flowers40. It is often the only available preventive measure in places where antibiotics sprays are banned. However, the copper doses are limited by their toxicity towards plants44 and the efficacy of the sprays are compromised by the emergence of copper-resistant bacterial strains45. We have consistently observed that copper readily combines with all tested organic acids to form a highly potent bactericide that inhibits the growth of the plant pathogens Erwinia amylovora, Pseudomonas syringae and Xanthomonas euvesicatoria. Copper sprays are non-aqueous emulsions that contain fatty acids and other organic compounds and therefore addition of organic acids to these emulsions is straightforward. This sets the stage for a fast, easy and safe transition to a better way to ensure bactericidal effects with limited toxicity to the plants and ecosystems alike.
It is vital to consider the effect that combinations of metals and organic acids may have on the environment as well as on plant or animal cells. The synergistic nature of the inhibitory effect allows the use of much lower concentrations of organic acids and of metals than those used for each of them individually. Thus, the distribution of metal pollutants from crop sprays as well as concentrations of food preservatives may actually decrease by combining organic acids with metals. Furthermore, an adult human can tolerate digestion of up to 10 mg of copper and up to 40 mg of zinc per day46, while copper sprays of potato plants, for example, contain 2.5 grams/ liter concentrations of copper and can tolerate up to 5 grams/liter44. Moreover, synergy growth experiments were performed on two eukaryotic microorganisms, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans. In most cases, little to no synergy was observed. Thus, despite the clear need for further study, based on this data and on our results we believe that the suggested revisions to crop protection and food preservation are likely safe.

The topic of this paper is Building Teacher Capacity. You may use the resource of your choice. There are foundational pieces necessary to support and guide schools and districts through the process of shifting school culture and climate, growing a reflective mindset, and establishing a culture of reflective practice. In your paper, please discuss:

1. Relationships, Roles and Responsibilities

2. Expectations and Communication

3. Celebration and Calibration

4. Goal Setting and Follow-through

5. Strategic PLC and Teacher-Leadership Support

6. Transformational Feedback

7. Differentiated Coaching

For your second assignment, we would like you to read a memoir of either a person living with dementia or a carer of a person living with dementia, and then write a book review.

Think about how the book you have chosen engages with the concept of living well with dementia (it may or may not do). How are the ideas, concepts and themes the module has covered reflected in the book? What does the book tell you about the challenges facing people living with dementia and their carers? What does the book tell you about the process of support available after diagnosis? There are many questions you can ask about your chosen memoir in these contexts (you will, no doubt, be able to think of many more).

This is a reflective piece of work but as usual, where you use additional sources to inform your writing, they should be presented in a standard reference list.

The book being reviewed is Somebody I used to know by Wendy Mitchell.

The themes to be focused on are bereavement and loss.

Additional Guidance – Book Review
The comments below are in response to questions that have been asked over the last few weeks and should be considered alongside the assignment guidelines.

• It is a reflective piece so you can write in the 1st person, however, your ideas must be supported with evidence. You will need to take an analytical approach and include references throughout as you would do with a standard academic assignment.

• If this is a new type of assignment for you, read through a range of book reviews to get some ideas of how they are presented – although yours will be different in that most won’t include references.

• As you read the book, identify theme(s) that you will address in your review. Look at the subjects we have covered in this module which might help you to identify themes. What is the book saying to you about dementia?

• In your introduction, say what you are going to do in the assignment, what theme(s) you are going to address

• What have other authors said about that theme and dementia? What are some of the theories relating to that theme?

• You may want to offer comparison to other books written by people with dementia or offer comparison to those written by carers.

• You may want to compare what the author is saying in comparison to what research studies have shown.
