Order Description

As a new medium of communication , the Internet has significantly changed many aspects of our life .For example , the issue of gender identity may be complicated due to the phenomenon of gender swapping in the internet , friendship can mean something quite different because more and more people make friends through telecommunication rather than the traditional face-to-face opportunities to develop ‘virtual’intimate interpersonal relations .
There are two conflicting opinions regarding of the impact of the Internet on our life . The first one believes that he current rapid development of the Internet will cause more than harm than good to our society and culture . The solution is to slow slow down the development of technology , and be willing to accept that there are something that we can do technologically but should not do in order to preserve our value and culture .
The other opinion believes that the development of the Internet will eventually provide solutions to many of our social problems . Therefore, there is no need to be afraid of technology .The solution is to speed up the development of technology , be willing to give up some of our customs that are in conflict with new technology , and be prepared to use technology to solve social problems .
Write an essay to discuss a specific aspect of the impact of the internet on our social , cultural , or ethical life . The following is the guide line for you to prepare the essay :
1.Present an illustrative case .You SHOULD NOT discuss the impact of the internet in abstract ; instead , you should select a specific angle and focus on a particular issue of these impacts .The best way to narrow down is to discuss the issue with an illustrative case .This case must be real and current (within the last five years ) .The best places to find relevant cases are newspapers , many of which are now available on the web . You should provide references to cited articles .
2. Examine the impact of the internet . You need to explore the social , cultural , or ethical , issues behind the case .To explain why the case should cause or concerns , you need to show how interpersonal and social relationships have been shaped by the traditional communication media (e.g.face-to-face conversation ) , and how our lives will be changes by the Internet as a communication medium .
3.Respond to this debate regarding the impact of the internet .Should we slow down the development of technology in order to reduce its damage , or should we speed up its development and use it to solve social problems ? You should continue to use your illustrative case in your discussion . You should provide evidence to justify your position , and use relevant ethical theories that we have discussed in class to back up your arguments .

Module: Managing complex projects, products and systems (890N1)
Coursework: Module papers

Formal assessment of the course is made on the basis of a paper (3,000 words) submitted by the deadline indicated in Sussex Direct.

Papers should be developed by the students. This can be done in consultation with the module convenor. The paper will give students the chance to more closely explore a topic from the course. Please use the module reading list and any supplemental readings you can find on your chosen topic. Evaluation of the module paper will take into account the student’s ability to identify, outline and discuss a particular problem of his or her own interest related to one of the module themes presented in the lectures and/or discussed in classwork exercises/seminars.

Project case study

The case study should show how the experiences of one or more projects relate to one of the module themes presented in the lectures and/or discussed in classwork exercises/seminars. Referring to project and company background information from personal experience or secondary sources, the case study should reveal interesting project events, facts, people, organisational approaches, challenges and how these are overcome (or not).

The key criterion for the module evaluation of the case study is the ability to identify key lessons about managing projects from one or more project cases. The project case study may cover a number of issues such as:

The project goal.
Type of project (e.g. using the NTCP framework).
The project success measures.
The project web: systems integrator/prime contractor, customers, subcontractors, government agencies, finance, etc.
The project organisation: matrix, project-based organisation (PBO) or functional structures.
Project life cycle: phases of the project from invitation to tender (ITT), through bid and contract, to project execution and hand-over to the customer.
‘Hot spots’ in the project: problem areas that had to be overcome during the project life cycle.
‘Beauty spots’: areas of good practice in the project, innovative methods being deployed.
Appropriate and inappropriate approaches for the project according to its type (e.g. managing a high-tech project as a medium-tech one).
User participation in the project.
Core capabilities/competencies involved in the project, e.g. systems integration, project management, bid management, software engineering, marketing, etc.
Broader issues affecting megaprojects (e.g. risks, decision-making, etc.)

Order Description

As economic times change, management styles have changed accordingly. New concepts and issues of management styles have been analyzed, synthesized, and evaluated to meet the changing needs of the marketplace. The concept of change management has gained great acceptance and/or disapproval by all sectors, including civilian and military.

Katzenbach (1995) wrote that “Real change leaders are the linchpins connecting three critical forces for organizational change and performance: top leadership aspirations (what are we trying to become?); workforce energy and productivity (how will we climb the mountain?); and the marketplace reality (what do our target customers truly seek, and what can and will our potential competitors really do?) (pp. 8-9).

• Discuss 3 to 5 changes that have or are occurring in organizational life or in your discipline today.
• Identify and discuss the benefits and challenges of two or three change management theories as proposed in the practice and discipline of management. .
• Using one of the change management theories you discussed, analyze two of the five changes you identified in your field to determine if there have been periods of time in which leaders in the field, as well as actual practitioners in the field, have had to address the issue of change management. Specifically, this analysis should be based on a synthesis of the current literature (and literature no older than 1995) to demonstrate how leaders in your field of study have addressed the issue of change management – as well as any changes in management style.
• Relate these specific changes to your own current, previous, and/or future career paths. This analysis should help to reveal how you have seen changes occur over the past decade or so in your field.
• Finally, what possible changes, suggestions and/or recommendations would you consider to be necessary in management in order for effective change of organizations in the future?

Question 3 (25 marks)

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network of interconnected things such as electronics devices, sensors, software, IT infrastructure which create and add value by exchanging data with various stakeholders such as manufacturers, service providers, customers, other devices, etc., hereby using the World Wide Web technology stack (e.g. Wifi, IPv6, …). In terms of devices, you can think about heartbeat monitors; motion, noise or temperature sensors; smart meters measuring utility (e.g. electricity, water) consumption; etc. Some examples of applications are:
• Smart parking: automatically monitoring free parking spaces in a city;
• Smart lighting: automatically adjusting street lights to weather conditions;
• Smart traffic: optimizing driving and walking routes based upon traffic and congestion;
• Smart grid: automatically monitoring energy consumption;
• Smart supply chains: automatically monitoring goods as they move through the supply chain;
• Telematics: automatically monitoring driving behavior and linking it to insurance risk and premiums;
• …
It speaks for itself that the amount of data generated is enormous and offers an unseen potential for analytical applications.

Order Description

Every original paper is different and these notes should be treated as a guideline only! A
‘critique’ may conclude that the study presented was in fact carried out to the highest possible
standard and that its conclusions are sound and reasonable. On the other hand, many
published papers do have flaws, ranging from subtle to substantial. The following notes are
suggestions for what you should be considering while reading the paper.
Introduction and aims of the study:
• Clearly identify the aim(s) of the study (or the major question that the authors are
seeking to answer). What are the hypotheses being investigated?
• Was the background information provided adequate to understand the aims of the
study?
• Do the papers that the authors reference in the Introduction really say what the authors
state they say? (You shouldn’t read every paper quoted in the Introduction but you
should read some of the key papers).
• Have the authors succeeded in stating why their paper is important in view of what has
been done before?
Methods:
• What methods did the authors use to investigate the topic?
• Were the methods described in sufficient detail for others to repeat or extend the
study?
• Were the limitations of the methods used outlined, and/or have you evidence based
concerns about the methodology?
• Were there issues with key parts of the methodology, for example appropriate controls
and number of replicates, appropriate model system, appropriate statistics, specificity
of antibodies or pharmacological agents, attempts made to remove subjective bias
where that could be a concern
• Does the experimental approach directly address the hypotheses?
• Can you suggest alternative experimental approached that could have either better
addressed the hypotheses or supplemented the results obtained?
Results:
• Are you convinced by the data that is presented?
• Do the numerical values that are provided make sense?
• Are any unexpected results adequately explained, or are anomalous or unexpected
results ignored.
• Are the figures and graphs adequate? (Sometimes important data is omitted or the
data is presented in a format that obscures the inadequacies of the data).
• Were the experiments that were done appropriate with respect to the objectives of the
study; i.e do they directly address the hypotheses?
• Do the legends of the figures and tables clearly describe the data obtained?
Discussion:
• Have the authors summarized their results clearly?
• Were the objectives of the study met? If not, do the authors give an explanation?
• Have the authors correctly interpreted their data, over-interpreted their data or are
there alternative explanations that the authors have ignored? (Try to independently
draw your own conclusions from the data that is presented).
• If the results obtained were statistically significant, were they also biologically
significant?
• Have they interpreted their results clearly in the light of previously published work?
• Have they acknowledged potential sources of ‘error’ or technical limitations in their
study?
• Have they discussed all the important points that are raised by their study or have they
ignored something that really is quite important?
• Do they clearly and correctly state what the research provides in terms of
advancement of the field, or do they claim that the research is novel, ground-breaking
or significant when it is not?
Further Points
• Remember that a critique is not necessarily criticism.
• When you are criticising a point within the paper, moderate what you say by the
importance of the point. That is, for something you believe is a fatal flaw, explain in
detail why; for something you believe is a minor issue that would probably not effect
the interpretation of the data as a whole a short comment is sufficient.
• Provide evidence for your evaluation e.g.
According to Reference (Year) the statistical techniques used in this paper make
the assumption that…which is not valid in the model used.
The pharmacological agent X is not specific to function Y but also affects function Z
(reference, year).
• Avoid writing a “style-based” critique that concentrates on criticising the style of
presentation rather than the underlying science.

While there have been some improvements in the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians in recent year, Indigenous Australians are still disadvantaged compared with non-Indigenous Australians (AIHW 2014). This disadvantage is often the result of a complex range of interrelated economic, cultural, geographical, environmental and social factors that impact up on the health and wellbeing of people of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander background.

For this assignment you must identify and discuss four factors that impact on the health and wellbeing of a person of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander background. You must provide a discussion of approximately 450 words for each of these four factors. Your response is to be presented as a formal scholarly essay, supported with reliable sources of evidence which have been referenced correctly using the Harvard Referencing System.

DIRECTIONS
The paper must be presented as a formal scholarly essay with the following sections:

Section A – Introduction (100 words)
The introduction should catch the reader’s attention in an interesting way and introduce what will be discussed in the assignment.

Section B – Body of Essay (1800 words)
This section should discuss the four factors that impact on the health of a person of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander background (approximately 450 words per factor).

Section C – Conclusion (100 words)
The conclusion presents a brief paragraph that ties together the main points of the assignment, but does not introduce new ideas and generally does not include new literature or direct quotes.

Reference List
A minimum of 8 references (two for each factor discussed) from reliable sources of evidence such as journal articles, textbooks and reports from research centres should support the assignment. They should be referenced correctly using the Harvard Referencing System.
I hope to use Australian literature

For the purpose of the first part of this Project, you are still the InfoSec Specialist for the Makestuff Company. Consider this project a continuation of the work you performed in Projects 1 and 2.

After seeing you search Mr. Yourprop’s work area and take several pieces of evidence, Ms. Maria Friend, who works in the office across the hall, comes forward with an odd story. Ms. Friend states that she is Mr. Yourprop’s fiancé, but lately things in their relationship had begun to sour. She produces a thumb drive she says Mr. Yourprop gave her earlier that day. She tells you Mr. Yourprop told her to “keep it safe” and asked her to bring it home with her at the end of the day. Ms. Friend tells you she really likes her job and has no interest in being wrapped up in whatever Mr. Yourprop has done to invite negative attention.

1. How would you package the thumb drive for shipment to the lab? Be specific as to what materials you would use, and why?

2. What would you ask the lab to look for on the submitted thumb drive, and why?

3. Are there any locations outside of Mr. Yourprop’s immediate workspace where pertinent digital evidence might be found to help with your intellectual property theft case? Explain thoroughly.

Now, please assume a different character for the purpose of this next segment of the assessment… You are a forensic examiner at the above mentioned Makestuff Company lab. After receiving the package from the InfoSec Specialist in the field, you sign the chain of custody form and get set to begin your examination.

4. How would you protect this thumb drive prior to creating a forensic image for examination? Why is this protection important to your overall case? Explain thoroughly.

5. Discuss at least three forensic examination/analysis tools that could be used by you or Makestuff Company’s other digital forensic analysts to process/analyze the thumb drive you received (be specific), ensuring you include the manufacturer of each tool and each tool’s capabilities.

Fortunately, the InfoSec Specialist was on his/her game, and ALSO sent you copies of several files, reported to be the source code of “Product X”.

6. What is hashing, and how could you take advantage of it in this case to attempt to determine if Mr. Yourprop’s thumb drive contains copies of the source code? Explain thoroughly.

You complete your laboratory examination and return the evidence, with your report, back to the InfoSec Specialist at the field office.

Now, back at the field office, the InfoSec Specialist (a.k.a., you) receives the report from the Makestuff Lab, which shows that the complete “Product X” source code was found on Mr. Yourprop’s thumb drive. In addition, while the evidence was at the lab for examination, you determined it is also likely that Mr. Yourprop emailed copies of the source code to his personal email address.

7. Do you recommend reporting the crime to law enforcement? Why or why not? Are private companies required to report crimes to law enforcement?

The decision is ultimately made to report the theft to law enforcement and, using primarily the evidence you developed during your investigation, Mr. Yourprop is brought to trial for the crime. You (as the forensic examiner from the Makestuff Lab) are qualified as an expert witness and called to testify.

8. What is the significance of you being qualified as an expert witness? How is it different from being a simple fact witness? Explain thoroughly.

9. While you are on the stand, the defense asks you the following question based on the fact that you write a personal blog about digital forensics in your off-time, from which it appears you are a staunch supporter of law enforcement. “How do we know you were not just a “police hack” in this case, choosing to report only what would help law enforcement and your company’s bottom-line in this case?”

Project Requirements:

Each questions should be answered with a minimum of 1-2 paragraphs, so do your research, be specific, be detailed, and demonstrate your knowledge; submit your project to the assignments folder.
Answers to the above questions should be submitted in a single document (.DOC/.DOCX, .RTF, or .PDF), with answers separated so as to make it clear which question is being answered;
The submission should have a cover page, including course number, course title, title of paper, student’s name, date of submission;
Format: 12-point font, double-space, one-inch margins;
It is mandatory that you do some research, and utilize outside resources! References page: APA citation style (see https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/ for help).

Please make sure to use only United States References. NOTHING ELSE!
I willl attached the other two projects that are were before this since this is a continuation.

There should be a reference for each paragraph roughly.

Pineloch Elementary School Orlando Fl Orange County Public School- Florida

In this week’s Discussion, you focused on assessing your school or district’s orientation to change, considered principles of change, and thought about the role of professional learning communities in facilitating the change process. You also heard from Dr. Shirley Hord in the “Creating a Culture of Change” video addressing the following research-based strategies that support and enable change:

Create and articulate a shared vision of the change
Plan to reach the vision; identify and provide resources
Invest in professional learning
Check (monitor) progress
Provide continuous assistance (coaching)
Create a context conducive to change
As Dr. Hord explains in the video program, the sixth strategy, “Create a context conducive to change,” is like “an umbrella and ought to be overall.” This week you will begin to create the first section of your Implementation Toolkit by focusing on this “umbrella” or context for your change effort.

For this Application Assignment, you will write a 2- to 3-page essay as part of Section 1: How to Create a Culture Conducive to Change of your Implementation Toolkit. Your essay should address the following points related to a particular professional development program. This program may be the one you developed in a previous course or it may be a program that you have chosen as the focus for this course. As you complete your essay, refer to one or more examples from Chapter 1 of the “Community Middle School: A Case Story of Implementation” that informed your responses.

Provide the context and make a compelling case for change in your school or district.
Identify stakeholders you will engage in the implementation of your initiative. Include at least two of the following to be a part of your involved stakeholders: families, community, policy makers.
Based on your analysis of the culture’s readiness for change and anticipated challenges and/or opportunities, what will you do to prepare for the challenges and/or maximize the opportunities?
Glossary Terms: Include at least three terms from this week’s Learning Resources related to implementing change that you think are important for leaders of change to understand. Provide definitions (in your own words) for each.

For over 20 years, the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study has conducted research trials to examine factors that impact risks and development of conditions that impact women such as heart disease, breast and colorectal cancer, and osteoporotic fractures in postmenopausal women. Health care providers use results from these trials to develop guidelines for delivering care to patients. In your role in clinical settings, you must be familiar with these guidelines, and you must be aware that through clinical practice, guidelines frequently evolve and change. Often, what is considered a best practice today might not be a best practice in the future. For this Assignment, you compare guidelines outlined in the WHI study to current best practices for assessing and managing conditions.
To prepare:
-Review the Women’s Health Initiative article in this week’s Learning Resources. Select one disorder presented in this study
Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, & National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. (n.d.). Women’s Health Initiative: WHI background and overview. Retrieved March 20, 2013, from https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/whi/background.htm
The disorder I choose I choose is: Breast Cancer Risk (April 2006)
-Locate and select a research article that addresses current best practices for assessing and managing the disorder you selected. Be sure that the research article you select is from a reputable source.
Consider the similarities and differences between the best practices presented in the WHI study and the article you selected ( I will attach the article). Think about the potential impact of differences in best practices on women’s health.
Consider whether the best practices in the article you selected should be used in clinical practice.
To complete:
Write a 2 -page paper that addresses the following:
Describe the disorder you selected from the Women’s Health Initiative study.
Explain the current best practices for assessing and managing this disorder as suggested in the research article you selected.
Compare the best practices presented in the WHI study to the current best practices presented in the article. Explain how the differences in best practices might impact women’s health.
Explain whether you think the current best practices in the article you selected should be used in clinical practice. Support your position with evidence-based research.
