Analyze the historical and contemporary antecedents of discrimination for the selected population (old people, spirituality and religion) along with the resulting problems.
Evaluate critically the theories, methods of working with the selected population, and culturally relevant research related to your selected population.
Analyze the influence of culture on attitudes, values, perceptions, behaviors, and interpersonal relations related to the selected population.
Identify potential problems and social justice concerns with which the chosen population has to deal, suggesting possible solutions and best social work practices that could be implemented in your professional setting.
Identify and analyze your personal competencies that can be used to improve your interaction with this selected population in your professional setting.
Identify specific concerns that you would need to keep in mind when using technology such as e-mail or social media when communicating with the selected population.
Demonstrate, through an action plan, how you will add to your cultural diversity knowledge and how you will apply these leadership skills to your social work practice. The action plan should increase knowledge of cultural diversity and application to practice through the use of technology and leadership that includes collaborative practice with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities to advocate for appropriate services.
owadays, the high-speed cellular network has grown rapidly. This high-speed cellular network develops as the number of users increases. The increasing number of users will cause high demand and large data-rate requirement may be needed. The multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) has been developed in promising better spatial diversity and system capacity. Basically, this technique refers to a method of multiplying a radio link capacity by implementing multiple antennas at transmitter and receiver, which is applied for exploiting the multipath propagation. The MIMO system has become an essential method that uses wireless communication technologies such as High Speed Packet Access (HSPA), Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) and Long Term Evolution (LTE).
Over the same radio channel, this MIMO technique is used to send and receive more than one data signal simultaneously through exploiting the multipath propagation. Basically, between the transmitter and receiver, there are many paths that can be taken by signal. The path will be changed if the transmitter, receiver or any object in the channel moves. The number of objects that appears either on the side or direct path between transmitter and receiver will produce a variety of paths. However, the interference is produced between these multiple paths. Thus, the usage of MIMO system will give advantages to these multiple paths. This is possible by providing more robustness to the radio link, where the link data capacity increases or the noise ratio improves. There are two main formats for MIMO systems which are spatial diversity and multiplexing diversity. The spatial diversity refers to transmit and receive diversity. The spatial diversity employs multiple antennas with same characteristic and it allows a limited communication spectrum to be shared by multiple users. For multiplexing diversity, this form can be used to provide an additional data capacity. The additional data capacity can be produced by utilizing the multiple paths to carry additional traffics. The general outline of MIMO system is shown in Figure 2.1.
