Answering questions

This week’s reading centered around Bitcoin Economics.  For this week’s research paper, search the Internet and explain why some organizations are accepting and other organizations are rejecting the use of Bitcoins as a standard form of currency.  Your paper needs to identify two major companies that have adopted Bitcoin technology as well as one that has refused accepting Bitcoin as a form of currency. Be sure to discuss each organization, how they adopted (or why they won’t adopt) Bitcoin, and what recommendations you have for them to continue to support Bitcoin (or why they should support Bitcoin).

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately four to six pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
• Follow APA7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
• Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.
• Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing

 This is a required assignment worth 20 points (20-points/1000-points). Assignment must be submitted by the due date. No late assignments are allowed. Please discuss the following topics and provide substantive comments to at least two other posts. 
Select from the following list four (4) topics and discuss. Use only 50-words max per topic to discuss and present your answer.  The discussion questions this week are from Chapter’s 3 & 4  (Jamsa, 2013).
Chapter 3 topics:

• Define and describe PaaS.
• List the benefits of PaaS solutions.
• Describe potential disadvantages of PaaS.
• Describe how a cloud-based database management system differs from an on-site database.
• List the computing resources normally provided with a PaaS.

Chapter 4 topics:

• Define and describe IaaS.
• Define and describe system redundancy. Discuss how you might use IaaS to implement a redundancy plan.
• Define and describe load balancing. Discuss how you might use IaaS to implement load balancing.
• Define and describe NAS. Assume you must implement a shared file system within the cloud. What company would you select? Why? What costs should your client expect to pay for cloud-based data on a gigabyte (GB) basis?
• Define and describe colocation. Discuss how you might use IaaS to implement colocation.
• Compare and contrast a cloud-based disk storage device (with a file system) with a cloud based database.
• Compare and contrast physical, dedicated virtual, and shared virtual servers. Search the web for companies that provide each. What cost should a customer expect to pay for each?

NOTE: You are required to use at least two-peer reviewed sources (besides your textbook) to answer the above questions.  The initial post is due by Wednesday at 11:59pm ET.  You must engage on at least three separate days (by Wednesday for the first post and two additional days of peer engagement).  Do not wait until Sunday to engage with peers, this should be an active conversation with your peers.  When replying to peers be sure to engage with substantial posts that add to the conversation.   This is a required assignment worth 20 points (20-points/1000-points). Assignment must be submitted by the due date. No late assignments are allowed. Please discuss the following topics and provide substantive comments to at least two other posts.

Use the Explore command to compare the income levels (rincdol) for both genders (sex). Go to the Resources area of the class to download the files that you will need to complete your assignments each week. Open gss.sav in SPSS, and complete the following calculations to determine the differences in the income level between males and females.

Compute the following for each group:

1. Mean
2. Median
3. Quartiles
4. Range
5. Variance
6. Standard deviation
7. Skewness
8. Kurtosis

The Explore command will also produce several different types of plots. Click on the Plots button, and create the following plots for each group:

1. Histograms (include the normal curve on the histogram)
2. Box plots
3. Stem-and-leaf plots

Use the calculations and plots to answer the following questions. When discussing a calculation, include the value in the text to bolster your analysis.

1. What can you determine from the measures of skewness and kurtosis relative to a normal curve?
2. What are the mean and median?
3. Does the mean or median seem better to represent the scores? How have extreme scores impacted these values?

Submit your output from all SPSS analysis as an SPSS output file and your Word document.

The final paper is a summary and self-reflection on how knowledge acquired from this course can impact your future career decision/choice/development. It should be

In this paper, write about your thoughts about informatics over the entire course and address the following:

• What is informatics? (5 points)
• Which aspect(s) of informatics is new to you? (15 points)
• Were you aware of any informatics-related job opportunities before taking this course? (5 points)
• Does this course change your overview of the future job opportunities? and How? (10 points)
• What type of jobs do you plan to pursue after graduation? Is it going to be informatics related? (10 points)

Compose the paper in an essay format and do not just give answers in the bullet list. (5 points)

Please make your analytic points specific as this is your self-reflection. Reference anything that are not your own using APA style.

Which aspect(s) of informatics is new to you?  for this question please write health informatics is new for me you can use following link for more information for health informatics
