 Question:

“The Path to Information Value” that 70% (seventy percent) of managers and executives say data are “extremely important” for creating competitive advantage.

In addition, it is implied by the authors that, “The key, of course, is knowing which data matter, who within a company needs them, and finding ways to get that data into users’ hands.”

Based on the company you have identified for your Final Paper, discuss

 1) the data that matters to the executives in that industry,

 2) who, within that industry, needs that data, and 

3) some methods for ensuring that the critical data gets into the users’ hands. 

Please make your initial post and two response posts substantive. A substantive post will do at least two of the following:

• Ask an interesting, thoughtful question pertaining to the topic
• Answer a question (in detail) posted by another student or the instructor
• Provide extensive additional information on the topic
• Explain, define, or analyze the topic in detail
• Share an applicable personal experience
• Provide an outside source (for example, an article from the UC Library) that applies to the topic, along with additional information about the topic or the source (please cite properly in APA)
• Make an argument concerning the topic.

At least one scholarly source should be used in the initial discussion thread. Be sure to use information from your readings and other sources from the UC Library. 

Use proper citations and references in your post.

***NO Plagiarism

***References

***APA Format 

Select one current IT related online article (2017 sources or later) about a global ethical issue. Note that this assignment is not a general essay about the topic selected, it must be about the current event article that you have selected. In addition, please note that while articles from journals may be of interest, they are ultimately too long and involved for this assignment – it is best to find an article from the World Wide Web from a trade magazine, or other electronic publication.  Provide the source citation that is in compliance with the American Psychological Association (APA) formatting rules, as well as the persistent URL – one that anyone can click on to re-access the original article.

The following elements must be addressed:

• Summarize the whole article by all of its key or salient points. It may help if you use bullets to note the salient points of the article, as you read through it. A summary is desired, not just the “thrust’ of the article.
• Analyze the multi-national and global ethical aspects of the article – what is the impact or what is the importance of the information in the article and what are the ethical issues connected to the situation or event?
• Determine three critically important questions not otherwise included in the article that you would like to address to the author regarding the article – you are not expected to answer the questions!

 This assignment does not have a specific length, as the length depends upon the length of the article that is being summarized, but you want to make sure that you have fulfilled the three requirements listed above. Remember to use headings for each topic criteria. The length of Paper CE is not a factor considered in its grading!

First Normal Form Assignment

Attached Files:

•  exampleData.sql (740 B)

In this exercise you will:1.) Run the attached SQL script “exampleData.sql” in your preferred way (E.g., workbench or from the command line tool in a terminal window.)This script creates a database named FN1 and a table named “VoterData”, and loads three rows of data into the table.Notice that the data are not stored in First Normal Form because two of the columns: “address” and “email” are used in a way that makes their data nonatomic. A valid address is hierarchical: street number, street name, city/town name, state, zip code, etc. The email field is used to store more than one email address. (If you want to know more about postal addresses read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address)2.) Watch Caleb Curry’s youtube video on First Normal Form (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjwEhK4QxRo) and understand what this means and how he redesigns his database. Notice that the database I gave you is similar to his.3.) Redesign the provided example database so that the email information is in first normal form. This means that you will create a new table called “EmailAddresses” that is specialized for storing email address information, and, it has a foreign key relationship with the VoterData table, etc.

1. Explain how the so-called “idle scan” works with nmap. Include example command line commands. According to the nmap website, what hosts are good ones to use for zombies? 100 words minimum.
2. How do the idle scan and pivoting work to hide the ethical hacker’s assessment? 100 words minimum.

• Articulate a list of end user functional requirements to be included in the menu of the THS consumer mobile application.
• Compose a sample of three user screen prototypes reflecting best practices in IT design for the consumer mobile application.
• Articulate a list of end user functional requirements to be included in the menu of the THS prescribing provider mobile application.
• Compose a sample of three user screen prototypes reflecting best practices in IT design for the prescribing provider mobile application.

Section 3: System Architecture

• Compose a system architecture diagram showing the following elements of the consumer and prescribing provider mobile applications for THS: data servers, web servers, web standards, network topography, and device connectivity.
• Develop a list of internal administrative and/or clinical applications, based on the THS case study, which require interoperable connectivity to the THS consumer and prescribing provider mobile applications.
• Develop a list of external applications, based on the THS case study, which require interoperable connectivity to the THS consumer and prescribing provider mobile applications.

The THS Mobile Application final presentation

• Must be 15 to 20 slides in length (not including title and references slides) formatted according to APA Style 
• Must include a separate title slide with the following:
  • Title of Presentation
  • Student’s name
  • Course name and number
  • Instructor’s name
  • Date submitted
• Must use at least four peer-reviewed sources in addition to the course text

Overview: The term “abstract” is a homophone which can mean one of two scholarly writing activities. One, is the abstract that you will write to introduce your dissertation. The other meaning is a shortened writing assignment whereby you write a condensed summary of an academic journal.  For this week, we will focus on writing a scholarly abstract of a quantitative journal. More information about writing an abstract can be found via the web resource “Writing Scholarly Abstracts.”Directions: View the rubric and examples to make sure you understand the expectations of this assignment.  Create a 1-2 page (more is fine) single-spaced Analysis of Research abstract published quantitative scholarly article related to your mock dissertation topic/research question. Additionally, this assignment functions just like assignment R.1 only it reviews a quantitative article instead of a qualitative one.Brevity and being concise are important as this analysis is intended to be a brief summation of the research.

Each abstract must therefore consist of the following in this order: 

1.conclusion

2. Suggestions for Further Research

 i will share link of the article which you are going write about. i just need conclusion and suggestions for further research for that article . its has to be in proper APA format ,proper ciations and references. 1 or 2 pages

this is the link for article:

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02678373.2017.1304463

 The challenge of this game is to collect as many as flower with the vase (catcher). Flowers fall down from the top of the screen and user will move the vase and collects flowers. In the above figure the dashed line arrows show possible movement directions of the components. In the game no dashed line will be shown. The game scene runs in gravity. The flower will be left from randomly chosen X points (Y is fix) from the top. User can swipe vase only to the right and/or left to collect them. Once the vase touches a flower, then a score is made, and that particular flower disappears with a sound (for example, http://soundbible.com/1536-Stapler.html). User will be granted 60 sec to collect as much as flowers. On the top-right corner of the game, show the remain time and score. Make sure that not many flowers will release at the same time. You may adapt a strategy to release flowers in a discrete way, such as one flower will be release every 2 – 5 seconds from random coordinates. Make sure that flower and vase sprites are not so small and/or big. A typical size for a flower is 64×64, and for vase image is 100×100. Game ends after 60 seconds, shows the score and a restart button a new game.
