Young, technically oriented hackers argued that, if the owners of a computer system want to keep outsiders out, it is their responsibility to provide better security. Ken Thompson, one of the inventors of UNIX, said, “The act of breaking into a computer system has to have the same social stigma as breaking into a neighbor’s house. It should not matter that the neighbor’s door is unlocked.”46 Which position do you agree with more? Give your reasons.

Exp19_Access_Ch01_Cap – Loan Lending Management 1.0 

Access Chapter 1 Lending for Small Businesses

EX19_AC_CH01_GRADER_CAP_HW

Project Description: 

In the following project, you will open a database containing the records of small loans from a lending firm, work with a form in which to store loan officer information, add records, and sort tables. You add a record using a form and print a report. You apply a filter by selection to a query and a filter by form to a table and save the results for both filters.

Start   Access. Open the downloaded Access file named   Exp19_Access_Ch01_Cap_Loan_Lending_Management.accdb. Grader has automatically added   your last name to the beginning of the filename.

You update a table to contain the data for the Loan Officers,   so that each of the loans processed can be associated with a staff member.
 

  Open the Loan Officers table in Datasheet view. Add the following records to   the Loan Officers table:

FirstName

LastName

EmailAddress

Managing Loan Officer

Close the table.

You’ll now add information to   the Loans table for the most recent loan that the firm processed.
 

  OfficerID: 5
  MemberID: 15
  LoanAmount: 7000
  Term: 36   months
  InterestRate: 15.41
  Payment: 244.07
  Grade: D
  IssueDate: 12/15/2018
  LoanStatus: Late (31-120 days)

You would prefer for the Loan data be presented in order of issue   date with the most recent loans listed first.
 

Sort the records in the   Loans table by the IssueDate field in descending order (newest to oldest).   Save and close the table.

Next you will use the Maintain   Members form to add another loan that was processed for one of the firm’s   members.
 

  Open the Maintain Members form. In record 3 (for Brynn Anderson, MemberID 13), add a new loan to the subform:
 

  OfficerID: 5
  LoanAmount: 17000
  Term: 36   months
  InterestRate: 4.35
  Payment: 300.45
  Grade: B
  IssueDate: 9/1/2018
  LoanStatus: Fully Paid

When you need to navigate to a   record quickly, without a large number of clicks with your mouse, you can   search specific information in the Search field of the Navigation bar at the   bottom of the window. In this case, you are interested in adjusting   information for the author with an MemberID of 16 (Tyler Fletcher).
 

  Use the Navigation bar to search for MemberID 16, and then edit the subform so that the   InterestRate is 12.54 instead of .1899 for   the loan with LoanID 47. Close the Maintain Members form.

Reports are   used to neatly organize table data or query results into a document for   presentation to co-workers and/or supervisors. In this case, you are   interested in confirming that the report you created based on the Loans,   Officers, and Members query is reflecting the appropriate information before   sending it to your supervisor.
 

  Open the Loans, Officers, and Members report and check that the report shows   five loans listing Fully Paid as   Loan Status. View the layout of the report in Print Preview. Close the Loans,   Officers, and Members report. Open the Loans, Officers, and Members query.   Sort the query by LoanOfficer field in ascending order.

You are interested in quickly   filtering the data in the Loans, Officers, and Members query based on loan   officer. Filtering by selection allows you to select your filtering criteria   and apply it to the data. In this case, you would like to see only the loans   managed by John Badman.
 

  Use filter by selection to show only the loans managed by the loan officer   whose name is John Badman.

Sorting allows you to display   data in various ways including alphabetically (A-Z & Z-A), in ascending   order, in descending order, newest to oldest etc. You want to display the   query results alphabetically by LoanStatus.
 

  Sort the query by LoanStatus in alphabetical order. Save and close the query.

Now, you are interested in   quickly filtering the data in the Loans table based on two different fields.   Filtering by form allows you to enter your filtering criteria into a form   that is then applied to the data.
 

  Open the Loans table. Use Filter by Form to create a filter that will   identify all loans with a term of 36   months that also have an interest rate less than .11. Apply the filter and preview   the filtered table. Close the table and save the changes.

Close all database objects.   Close the database and then exit Access. Submit the database as directed.

Design an abstract class called Shape. This class must contain a single constructor that accepts a single numeric value that can be used to calculate various values, one of which is area. Include an abstract method called findArea that can be defined to find the area of any shape. Also provide a concrete to return the area. Design two concrete classes, Circle and Square that inherits fhe class Shape. Each of these classes finds the respective area; i.e. area of circle and area of square. You are responsible for providing the relevant variables.

Paper – Social Robots in Organizational Contexts: The Role of Culture and Future Research Needs 

The integration of social robots in society and in organizations is explicitly a trend that is on the rise. We are witnessing the application of physically embodied robots who socially interact and collaborate with humans in various settings. In this week’s research discussion, you are to voice a critical opinion on the content of the paper mentioned above.
This paper is focused on the organizational contexts of social robots and required cultural challenges. The research looks at the cultural fit between values embedded in social robots and values lived in the organizational context in which the robot is deployed.

1. What do you think about the place of social robots in the future general?
2. What is your evaluation of the proposed future research into cultural challenges?
3. What is the best way of introducing social robots into organizational contexts?

Answers should be based on the details provided in the paper.

Make sure you support your opinions with scholarly research!

For this assignment, following APA style Ver. 7.0, answer as comprehensively as possible the questions. Your answers should be based on the details provided to you in the paper.

Cite your sources (APA 7.0 ed).

NOTE: 800 words

 Prepare a one-page synopsis (200–300 words) of the Doherty, Ashurst, and Peppard article linked in Resources. 

In this assignment, we will continue with the project started in  Module 1. Based on the plan last week, draw an ER diagram to demonstrate  relationship among the tables in the database.

Assignment Expectations

The following items will be assessed in particular:

1. Attributes in each table are marked clearly.
2. Primary key and foreign keys of the tables are identified.
3. Using an ER diagram to demonstrate relationship among the tables.

Exercise # 1 Instructions:

1. You may download the dataset from the link below. This dataset provides information about hospitals in 2011 and 2012. Before you do that however consult the additional instructions that I provided to you in 4 PDF email attachments.  ([a]. Ex 1 – Additional Instructions. [b] Ex 1 – Instructions t-Test to compare means [c] Ex 1 – Example t-Test Output. [d] Ex 1 – Example Output – Graphs).

2. Analyze the data, using these instructions. Your objective is to use the results of your analysis to create “summary statistics” (Count (N), Mean, and Standard Deviation) for each hospital characteristic and each year (2011 and 2012) and complete Table 1 (template below). You should then create any meaningful graphs (using Excel) to summarize your findings and to write a short paragraph summary report describing your findings.

3. Your report may be in WORD format, with the tables you create in Excel copied and pasted in WORD. Submit your report to the appropriate folder.
