Evaluate Internet Sources Using Structured Approach to Research and Communicate Process to Doctoral Students

 

 

Evaluate Internet Sources Using Structured Approach to Research and Communicate
Process to Doctoral Students

During Week 1, we examined two types of publications. This week, we turn our focus
toward how to examine resources located on the Internet. Internet searches are much
easier than electronic library searches, but Internet searches present challenges.
For example, many people are not qualified to present objective information, and
they post inaccurate or biased information. The locations can be informal, such as
personal blogs; or they can be more formal, such as on professional organization
websites. The challenge for professional and academic researchers is to ensure the
information retrieved and relied on is accurate and free from excessive bias. This
week, you will practice locating resources on the Internet and analyzing
information for credibility, and creating a presentation to help other doctoral
students evaluate Internet sources.

For this task, begin by locating at least three sources of information from
Internet resources on a business topic of interest to you. The information should
be from a professional organization website or from a website specializing in a
particular subject. Ensure there is an author identified and be sure the
qualifications of the author are presented in the website information.

Next, imagine that you will be creating a PowerPoint Presentation to doctoral
students to help them evaluate sources. Create a visual diagram that reflects the
process steps students need to go through to evaluate Internet sources. Explain
each of the steps in the process in detail and use the three sources you identified
as examples. Be sure to consider the following questions to help your doctoral
student audience understand the validity of the authors you researched.

Who is the author?
What are the main points the author is presenting?
What are the author’s educational and experience credentials? In what way do they
support the author’s ability to express an opinion on the subject?
Has the research been peer-reviewed or gone through an editorial process?
What types of bias may be present?
Who has a contrary opinion on the subject, and what are their credentials?
How old is the material, and is it still relevant?
End your PowerPoint presentation by providing a real-life example from a specific
business context where you could apply the Internet source evaluation process you
just developed to promote a specific business improvement idea to your management
team. How might the source evaluation process help you build credibility in a
business setting? How is the source evaluation process different in academia verses
a business context?

Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and graphics as well as speaker
notes for each slide. The speaker notes may be comprised of brief paragraphs or
bulleted lists.

Support your presentation with at least 3 scholarly resources. In addition to these
specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources may be included.

Length: 9-12 slides (with a separate reference slide)

Notes Length: speaker notes of 200-350 words per slide.

Be sure to include citations for quotations and paraphrases with references in APA
format and style where appropriate. Save the file as PPT with the correct course
code information

Diagnostic Formulation

Field: Psychology

Diagnostic Formulation

Review the case given below case study (Psychological Evaluation for Jessica E.
Smith) for this required assignment (RA). On the basis of the information in the
case study, provide a principal (primary) and a secondary diagnosis for the person
using the most recent DSM codes. You will also discuss your diagnoses in narrative
(paragraph) form. Then, identify and discuss at least one differential (possible
alternate) diagnosis for the principal diagnosis and at least one differential
(possible alternate) diagnosis for the secondary diagnosis that you gave. Lastly,
discuss whether a diagnosis from other conditions that may be a focus of clinical
attention is warranted.

While you are welcome to list medical conditions that might be a concern, your
primary and secondary diagnoses should be psychological conditions listed in DSM-5.

Your paper should have separate sections for:

Principal and secondary diagnoses
The reasons for selecting the principal and secondary diagnoses
Social and cultural factors that may influence the principal and secondary
diagnoses
Differential diagnoses, including a consideration of whether a diagnosis from other
conditions are applicable
The reasons for selecting the differential diagnoses
Your rationale and justification for why your actual diagnoses are a better fit
than your differential diagnoses

 

Cloud computing security policy

Background:

A small non-profit organization (SNPO-MC) has received a grant which will pay 90% of its cloud computing costs for a five year period. But, before it can take advantage of the monies provided by this grant, it must present an acceptable cloud computing security policy to the grant overseers.

Tasking:

You are a cybersecurity professional who is “on loan” from your employer, a management consulting firm, to a small non-profit organization (SNPO-MC). You have been tasked with researching requirements for a Cloud Computing Security Policy and then developing a draft policy for the non-profit organization, SNPO-MC. The purpose of this policy is to provide guidance to managers, executives, and cloud computing service providers. This new policy will supersede (replace) the existing Enterprise IT Security Policy which focuses exclusively upon enterprise security requirements for organization owned equipment (including database servers, Web and email servers, file servers, remote access servers, desktop computers, workstations, and laptop computers) and licensed software applications. The enterprise IT security policy also addresses incident response and disaster recovery.

As part of your policy development task you must take into consideration the issues list which was developed during brainstorming sessions by executives and managers in each of the three operating locations for the non-profit organization.

Your deliverable for this project is a 5 to 8 page, single spaced, professionally formatted draft policy. See the following resources for suggested formats.

Organization Profile:

The organization is headquartered in Boston, MA and has two additional operating locations (offices) in New Orleans, LA and San Francisco, CA. Approximately 50 employees work in a formal office setting at one of these locations. These employees use organization owned IT equipment. The remaining 1,000 staff members are volunteers who work from their home offices using personally owned equipment.

The organization provides a variety of management consulting services for its clients (charities and non-governmental organizations) on a fee for service basis. Fees are set on a sliding scale based upon the client’s ability to pay. The organization receives additional funding to support its administrative costs, including IT and IT security, through grants and donations from several Fortune 500 companies.

The non-profit organization is in the process of hiring its first Chief Information Officer. The organization has a small (3 person) professional IT staff that includes one information security specialist. These staff members are located in the Boston headquarters office.

Technological advancement and structural unemployment

Technological advancement and structural unemployment

Macroeconomics
Corporate America has been accused of spending the last 30 years seeking out ways
to reduce, or increase the efficiencies of its, labor force resource requirements”.
Is this statement an accurate reflection of Corporate America’s ‘modus operandi’?
If so, is this behavior a natural consequence of technological advancement and
structural unemployment? If not, is Corporate America operating under the principle
of “Profit Maximization”?

Discuss a minimum of five event types found in a dhcp log

Question :You are a Network Administrator in Net Ambit Inc. The company has one External IP, five servers (Static). One of them handles DHCP (2k3), 12 printers (Static), 175 wired personal computers (PCs) or users (DHCP). This is a new facility or set up and no IPs have been assigned to you.

You”re logged on locally to a user”s computer and your mapping batch file didn”t run and you need to get a file from one of your servers. You have been told that your Internet connection has been set-up and ready for use. You already know how many devices will be connected to your network in the beginning so it”s now time to lay out a plan.

Based on your understanding of the above scenario, create a report in a Microsoft Word document answering the following:

– What plan will you layout in terms of your proposal for listing IP addresses if your first IP is 192.167.1.0 and your last is 192.167.1.255?

You have ten printers that will be used by multiple users.

– What plan will you follow to assign printers to all the users in the organization?

While learning how to read a DHCP Log File, there are various event IDs which detail events.

– Discuss a minimum of five event types found in a DHCP log and describe what they refer to.

Finally, you have 175 PCs that will all be hardwired to the LAN and will each need an IP.

How will you use your network administrator skills and knowledge in assigning IPs to each user?
