Case Study 7.1

Address the two questions associated with the chapter 11 Self-Assessment “Personality, Leadership, and Change on page 418 in a two to four page paper (excluding title, abstract, and reference pages). 

Assignment must be in 7th edition APA compliance.

Please use this strategy when you analyze a case:

1. Identify and write the main issues found discussed in the case (who, what, how, where and when (the critical facts in a case).
2. List all indicators (including stated “problems”) that something is not as expected or as desired.
3. Briefly analyze the issue with theories found in your textbook or other academic materials. Decide which ideas, models, and theories seem useful. Apply these conceptual tools to the situation. As new information is revealed, cycle back to sub steps a and b.
4. Identify the areas that need improvement (use theories from your textbook)
   • Specify and prioritize the criteria used to choose action alternatives.
   • Discover or invent feasible action alternatives.
   • Examine the probable consequences of action alternatives.
   • Select a course of action.
   • Design and implementation plan/schedule.
   • Create a plan for assessing the action to be implemented.
5. Conclusion (every paper should end with a strong conclusion or summary)

The annotation must follow this format, in paragraph form0 .Meaning, cover each topic a – e, in order, but in paragraph form. No bulleted lists!

undefined

a. The reason for choosing this particular article (title was interesting; author is known to you; lots of others used this article in their work; etc.)

undefined

b. The purpose of the work

undefined

c.A summary of its content – not a copy of the abstract, read the article

undefined

d. For what type of audience the work is written – most are NOT written for the “general public”

undefined

e. Identify strengths, weaknesses, or biases in the material

undefined

In addition, you are required to cite the other four (4) articles you intend to use for the remainder of the assignment.Don’t do the annotation – just the citation.Remember that all citations are to be in APA format. All must be peer reviewed articles in peer reviewed journals or conference proceedings – no editorials, no news articles.

Requirements: 2 to 3 pages

1. Write complete annotation on this article

Follow instructions in First Citation document

2. Cite these remaining four articles no annotation required just cite.

All in APA format

For college writing, originality is a critical component. When you carry out a piece of academic work, you will be expected to research your subject thoroughly. It will be necessary for you to show an understanding of the contributions of other researchers and practitioners to your field of study. Keep in mind that plagiarism isn’t simply inadequate use of citations, it represents inadequate thinking. This project requires you to develop your own business idea instead of copying and pasting sentences and paragraphs from various websites. 

Once you submit your paper using the Turnitin link below, you will be able to view the similarity report. For this particular project, a returned percentage of below 20% would probably indicate that plagiarism has not occurred. You can submit draft assignments using the Turnitin link and view the similarity score before final submission to assess and improve your writing. 

If a student has copied someone else’s work, be it another student’s paper or taken material directly from some other source and made it appear to be their own; this is plagiarism. 

A submission with a similarity score above 40% and a Turnitin report indicating evidence of plagiarism will result in a 0 grade for the project and potentially an F grade for the course. 

Brainstorm ideas for a new business you (or your team if you work with other students–you may work in a team of maximum three people) want to start in the future–it can be a physical good or a service, but make sure your business is legit and ethical. In the Modules section under Final Project: Business Plan Information, I have uploaded a list of questions that you should cover in your business plan, a sample Word template (BA 100 Business Plan Submission Template.docx, also available in “Modules_Business Plan”) that you can use to organize the sections, as well as a sample Excel spreadsheet for the income statement section. Feel free to edit or format the template as needed. Please answer all questions but do not copy the entire questions directly to your document, as copying and pasting questions could impact the similarity score report from Turnitin. 

Choose a business idea that is appropriate for college learning. It could be fictional or real. Maybe you’ve already participated in a family business (e.g., a family restaurant) and want to expand it or improve the sales–that is great. If fictional, state clearly that it is for a future business and all numbers are estimated. Your estimates (e.g., sales and costs) should be realistic. For example, very few people will be able to borrow or make millions of dollars when starting a business. The best way to get good estimates is to observe a similar business nearby, count the number of customers per hour, and estimate the amount each customer spends. Then you can estimate daily/weekly/monthly/annual sales. Make sure that you stay safe and follow social distancing rules if you choose to observe a business. 

At the end of your business plan, include a simple income statement for next year that include expected sales, revenue, profit, expenses. You can use the sample Excel spreadsheet provided in “Modules_Business Plan”.

Submit you file using the Turnitin link below for the assignment. If working as a team (maximum 3 members per team), please upload only ONE copy with all members’ names on the first page.

Word/PDF Document: 500 words minimum.

Topic: Topic: User-centred Design and Evaluation of Health Information Technology

1. Briefly discuss a proposed topic in your discipline.  

2.Theoretical Framework/Background

What theories covered in the program are associated with your topic?

3,  Describe the connection of the topic to the program goals and courses. 

4.  What is the population you would like to address? 

Follow PDF 2-3 page apa format 

 ScenarioYour new manager comes to you and asks you that he keeps hearing about read/write blockers for forensic imaging. He’s not sure what that is. He also is confused because he’s heard that there’s two different types (software and hardware). Also, there’s commercial and open source tools. He knows you just took a course in digital forensics so he asks you to prepare a memo for him explaining all that.Your assignment

1. Research on what is a forensic read/write blocker and what is the difference between a hardware and a software version?
2. Research on what tools are available e.g. commercial (you buy) or open-source (free) and what types are available.
3. Identify some situations where it makes sense to use the hardware versions or when it makes sense to use software versions?
4. Put it all together and summarize it for your manager! No more than 2 pages please.

What this teaches youBeing familiar with what tools the investigator used will help you. You gain credibility by asking what hardware or software tools they used, how they deployed it and why they went with a hardware or software version.  

Discussion: 

Consider the mean of a cluster of objects from a binary transaction data set.

1. What are the minimum and maximum values of the components of the mean?

2. What is the interpretation of components of the cluster mean?

3. Which components most accurately characterize the objects in the cluster?

Please clearly LIST your response out to all THREE (3) questions and ensure to cite the specific article with the binary transaction of data set. I will be examing this for myself and other students should verify this as well. Provide the Author, YYYY  and specific page number, with any content brought into the discussion.

Assignment: 

Answer the following questions in a point by point fashion.  NOT an essay. Please ensure to use the Author, YYYY APA citations with any content brought into the assignment.  

1. For sparse data, discuss why considering only the presence of non-zero values might give a more accurate view of the objects than considering the actual magnitudes of values. When would such an approach not be desirable?
2. Describe the change in the time complexity of K-means as the number of clusters to be found increases.
3. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of treating clustering as an optimization problem. Among other factors, consider efficiency, non-determinism, and whether an optimization-based approach captures all types of clusterings that are of interest.
4. What is the time and space complexity of fuzzy c-means? Of SOM? How do these complexities compare to those of K-means?
5. Explain the difference between likelihood and probability.
6. Give an example of a set of clusters in which merging based on the closeness of clusters leads to a more natural set of clusters than merging based on the strength of connection (interconnectedness) of clusters.

 For this assignment, please discuss the following:

1. What are the steps involved in chip-off extraction and their significance?
2. What are some of the reasons an examiner would research a phone as well as its chip?
3. List and example the two general techniques used for removing evidence memory off a mobile device
4. Please explain removal through a cold process.

Start Excel. Download and open the file named Exp19_Excel_Ch02_ML1_Payroll.xlsx. Grader has automatically added your last name to the beginning of the filename. 

2  Use IF functions to calculate the regular pay and overtime pay based on a regular 40-hour workweek in cells E5 and F5. Pay overtime only for overtime hours. In cell G5, calculate the gross pay based on the regular and overtime pay. Abram’s regular pay is $398. With 8 overtime hours, Abram’s overtime pay is $119.40. 

3.  Create a formula in cell H5 to calculate the taxable pay. Multiply the number of dependents (column B) by the deduction per dependent (B24) and subtract that from the gross pay. With two dependents, Abram’s taxable pay is $417.40. 

4. Use a VLOOKUP function in cell I5 to identify and calculate the federal withholding tax. Use the tax rates from the range D21:E25. The VLOOKUP function returns the applicable tax rate, which you must then multiply by the taxable pay. 

5. Calculate FICA in cell J5 based on gross pay and the FICA rate (cell B23), and calculate the net pay in cell K5. Copy all formulas down their respective columns to row 16. 

6. With the range E5:K16 selected, use Quick Analysis tools to calculate the total regular pay, overtime pay, gross pay, taxable pay, withholding tax, FICA, and net pay on row 17.

Note, Mac users, with the range selected, on the Home tab, in the Editing group, click AutoSum. 

7. Apply Accounting Number Format to the range C5:C16. Apply Accounting Number Format to the first row of monetary data and to the total row. Apply the Comma style to the monetary values for the other employees. Apply the Total cell styles format to the range E17:K17. 

8. Insert appropriate functions to calculate the average, highest, and lowest values in the Summary Statistics area (the range I21:K23) of the worksheet. Format the # of hours calculations as Number format with one decimal and the remaining calculations with Accounting number format. 

9. Insert a footer with your name on the left side, the sheet name code in the center, and the file name code on the right side of the worksheet. 

10. Save and close the workbook. Submit the file as directed.
