Paper size and spacing: A4 paper to be used, typed on one side only, Reference list- please ensure line spacing between references; Appendices- single line spacing if possible. There should be a) A title page, which contains the title of the review, your student I D number, the degree for which the project is submitted and the date of submission, word count, School of Health Sciences b) An abstract of no more than 200 words (not included in word limit) which includes an outline of the topic reviewed, the scope of the review in terms of breadth of the literature search, a summary of the main issues addressed and arising, conclusions drawn and recommendations for further investigation, and practice development. c) Acknowledgements to organizations, funding bodies (if appropriate), supervisors, advisors and others who have contributed to the review. d) A table of contents with chapter headings and sub-headings, references, and appendices. e) The main review, divided into appropriate chapters, references, and appendices (see below). The Literature Search The literature search was performed using? What was your inclusion and exclusion criteria? How did you determine the process of elimination? this needs to be clearing discussed as to why some papers were included and some not. The focus of your search is literature articles. You should be demonstrating how different papers were included and excluded. When your key papers are identified, you then move to doing the matrix by using the CASP tool. Following this you will identify key themes which will help your answer your research question. Chapter 2 should be discussion of the key themes that came out of your search. The following chapters should be included: Chapter 1. Introduction This section should outline the rationale, aims and objectives of the review. Background information to the topic reviewed should be provided. The topic/question should be clearly introduced and set within the theoretical / philosophical context of your area of study. For example, how does it relate to the degree studies you are undertaking? Why is it necessary to undertake the review? Key writers in the field must be included to provide a contextual background for your review The aims and objectives for your review must be clearly stated. Parameters set for the literature search should be explained (e.g. time limits relating to the year of publication of the papers reviewed, and language limitations relating to the search, databases searched, key words used and hits achieved). N.B –Allocate approximately 200 words to the parameter section of this chapter Key search terms used (and where relevant MESH terms), including combinations should be identified; the databases searched, and number of hits achieved should be provided. The inclusion and exclusion criteria for the studies considered for the review should also be identified. (This can be tabulated and placed within the appendices if required).(Chapter 1 – approximately 1000 words). Chapter 2. Critical Review of the Literature This chapter should be organised according to the themes. Such themes should emerge from the primary research gathered for your review and should be discussed individually. In order to make this manageable it is likely that you will have a minimum of two and a maximum of 3 themes or trends; where more themes emerged you will discuss this in your introduction and give a rationale for why you’ve chosen the themes selected for discussion. When discussing your themes, you will necessarily make reference to the studies you selected for inclusion in your review. However, you should also draw on wider literature to determine whether the same themes/trends are apparent – this helps you to demonstrate that you are able to synthesise and apply your knowledge. Relevant research-based evidence should be described and critically discussed. The quality of the discussion is particularly important. You should attempt a critical analysis, which is both coherent and balanced. You are required to demonstrate a thorough and systematic understanding of research processes by clearly identifying strengths and weaknesses of methodologies/approaches used by authors whose work have been reviewed. The chapter should end with a summary (Chapter 2. approximately 4000 words). Chapter 3. Conclusion Your conclusion should begin by summarising the key issues that led to the review and the themes that arose. Based on your discussion in chapter two, you should now be able to draw some overall conclusions within the context of your professional practice. Implications and recommendations for future practice should also be identified. The limitation of the review needs to be acknowledged. (Chapter 3. Approximately 1000 words). References All materials must be correctly and completely referenced according to accepted School of Health referencing system. Appendices -Must include: 1- A matrix which provides an overview of individual research papers reviewed. 2- Supervision record of contact time with your allocated supervisor. 3-Your presentation slides 4-Any material pertinent to, but not immediately necessary to the review, may be included as an appendix (but be sparing).

Consider how to Minimize Disruption that improves First Responder Safety.
Description Scenario: You are working at a government agency and your section recently received a new intern, River, to learn about critical infrastructures. River will be with your section for at least six months, perhaps permanently. The section chief tasked you to write a short paper on three of the critical infrastructures for River this week and discuss them in terms of physical attacks, cyber events, and natural disasters. You already talked to River about three of them through some casual discussions and you need to cover three of the remaining ones. Determine the ones from your first three discussions that you did not discuss yet. Determine which one of the them you will use to discuss a physical attack, which one for a cyber event, and the remaining one for a natural disaster. You decide that you need to write something that will catch River’s attention and provide the information in an interesting way. You determined to use the following outline for each of the three sections (plus the overarching requirements): TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM SECTOR, CHEMICAL SECTOR, AGRICULTURE/FOOD SECTOR • Description of a Hypothetical Threat (physical, cyber, or natural disaster) • Brief background on the Critical Infrastructure as it relates to National Security • Elaborate on the known Risks/Threats/Hazards/Vulnerabilities from the Hypothetical Threat • Explain how damage to the from the Hypothetical Threat could impact the Dependencies/Interdependencies between critical infrastructure sectors • Existing Resiliency related to Continuity of Operations • Consider how to Minimize Disruption that improves First Responder Safety. Technical Requirements • Your paper must be approximately 6 pages – 2 pages per critical infrastructure discussed (the Title and Reference pages do not count towards the minimum limit). • Scholarly and/or credible references should be used. A good rule of thumb is at least two sources per page of content. • Type in Times New Roman, 12 point and double-spaced. • Students will follow the current APA Style as the sole citation and reference style used in written work submitted as part of coursework. • Points will be deducted for the use of Wikipedia or encyclopedic type sources. It is highly advised to utilize books, peer-reviewed journals, articles, archived documents, etc.
