Discussion on national framework for protecting critical infrastructure.
I need help with a Engineering question. All explanations and answers will be used to help me learn.
Chapter 1 provided a high-level overview of the need for a national framework for protecting critical infrastructure. For some additional reading, take a look at the latest Presidential Order that relates to strengthening cybersecurity that relates to critical infrastructure:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/pr…
After reading chapter 1 and looking at the link above, you’re ready to participate in the first discussion.
Lets look at a real-world scenario and how the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) plays into it. In the scenario, the United States will be hit by a large-scale, coordinated cyber attack organized by China. These attacks debilitate the functioning of government agencies, parts of the critical infrastructure, and commercial ventures. The IT infrastructure of several agencies are paralyzed, the electric grid in most of the country is shut down, telephone traffic is seriously limited and satellite communications are down (limiting the Department of Defenses [DODs] ability to communicate with commands overseas). International commerce and financial institutions are also severely hit. Please explain how DHS should handle this situation.
You must do the following:
Create a new thread. As indicated above, please explain how DHS should handle the situation described in the preceding paragraph.

week 5 &6 discussion
Im trying to study for my Computer Science course and I need some help to understand this question.
250 words or more due at monday by noon eastern time
Now that you are aware of Cialdini’s Principles of Influence: Reciprocation, Committment/Consistency, Social Proof, Liking/Likablity, Authority, and Scarcity, analyze as many ads (print, video, radio, billboard) or sales pitches – this includes e-commerce site listings – as you can – at least five (5). If the ad is something you can take a photo of or screen capture do that – and it’s okay to mark that up . If it’s a video/audio ad or a sales pitch you can link to the video or provide a rough transcript. Your analysis needs to include which of the influence principles was used – it most likely uses more than one. The example on the right uses Reciprocation (the price reduction – we reduced the price, now you must buy this to be even), Social Proof (only 1 pair left covers this as it implies others have purchased), Likability (awww! adorable seals!), and Scarcity (Hurry! only 1 pair left! almost gone!). After matching the ad/pitch/solicitation to the influence ponder how that made you feel. How could you improve the appeal of the ad/pitch/solicitation using Cialdiin’s principles of influence?

Impacts on Diet and Exercise
Im working on a Health & Medical question and need guidance to help me study.
Impacts on Diet and Exercise
Obesity rates tripled in children ages 219 living in the United States from the 1960s to the 1990s (Ogden, Flegal, Carroll, & Johnson, 2002). Who or what do you think is the cause of these rising rates? Some people blame schools for removing gym class from their curriculums. Yet, others say that while schools play a role, it is ultimately the responsibility of the families. Schools and families can either positively promote healthy lifestyles to children and adolescents or negatively expose them to habits that lead to obesity.
The United States federal government recognized that obesity was becoming a public health issue for children and adolescents. In 2012, the government instituted federal guidelines mandating that schools supply healthier food and drink selections (Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service, 2012). For example, schools changed drinks in soda machines to juices; however, juices still offer students additional calories (Martin, 2007).
The family environment can be influential as well in decreasing the rates of overweight and obese children and adolescents. Although the federal government cannot make laws forcing families to change, programs such as the Lets Move campaign and ChooseMyPlate.gov were created to educate families about healthier lifestyles. For example, lifestyle changes such as eating meals at home have significantly decreased obesity in children and adolescents (Epstein, Valoski, Rena, & McCurley, 1994). However, families that continue to eat fast food on a regular basis may be promoting obesity in children and adolescents.
For this Discussion, consider whether the school or the family environment has a greater negative impact on a child or adolescents diet and exercise. Then think about strategies that you might use to promote diet and exercise in those environments.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 4 your position on whether the school environment or the family environment has a greater negative impact on a child or adolescents diet and exercise and explain why. Then, describe two strategies you might use to promote diet and exercise in that environment and explain why each might be effective. Support your responses with the Learning Resources and current literature.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

Need for Data Mining
Can you help me understand this Computer Science question?
Topic: The Need for Data Mining
Overview: Over the last decade, advances in processing power and speed have enabled us to move beyond manual, tedious, and time-consuming data mining practices to quick, easy, and automated collection for data analysis. The more complex the data sets, the more potential there is to uncover relevant insights. Retailers, banks, manufacturers, telecommunications providers, and insurers are using data mining to discover relationships among everything from price optimization, promotions, and demographics to how the economy, risk, competition, and social media are affecting their business models, revenues, operations, and customer relationships.
Select one of the following industries and discuss the required topics:
- Medical
- Banking/Finance
- Marketing/Sales
- Science and Engineering
- Insurance
- Retail

Instructions
The goal of this weeks assignment is to help you start thinking about quantitative research as a methodology for your own dissertation. The first part of the assignment is a personal reflection, the second part of the assignment will help you become familiar with the basic parts of a quantitative dissertation you should begin thinking about, and the third part helps you to begin thinking through how quantitative dissertations are set up at NCU.
The first part of this assignment is a personal reflection. In one page, reflect on what led you to an interest in conducting quantitative research in education. Indicate why quantitative research is of more interest to you or better matches your skill set than qualitative research. Discuss why quantitative methods align with what you hope to contribute to the field of education with your research. Describe any fears or reservations you have about embarking on a quantitative research journey with your upcoming dissertation.
For each of the three dissertations attached, identify the following:
- Describe the problem that drives the study, in one clear sentence.
- Indicate the purpose of the study, in one clear sentence.
- List the research questions.
- List any hypotheses included.
- Describe the methodology and design in two to three brief sentences.
Respond to the following questions in one page:
- NCU dissertations use one clear declarative sentence to drive the problem statement. This single problem sentence must be supported by a current source.
- Why is it important to be able to articulate the entire problem that drives a study in one clear sentence?
- Why is it important to support this statement with a current source?
- The purpose statement must align with the problem statement, meaning it will use the same key terms and be focused on the same exact issue. Alignment can be a real challenge for beginning researchers.
- What are some ways you can make sure that the purpose you identify in your research is aligned with the problem you have identified? (Example: One tip is that you could highlight the same key terms occurring in your problem and purpose statements. What other tips can you think of?)
- It can be a challenge to create clear research questions that directly address the problem and purpose of the study, without introducing new ideas or straying off track.
- What are some ways that you will be sure your research questions directly aligned with your problem and purpose statements in your research?
- What are some aspects of this that you think might be challenging for newer researchers?
- Finally, how and why do the research questions drive the selection of the methodology and design for a study?
Length: 3 pages in total, not including title page
References: No references are required for this assignment, though any references used should be cited and referenced
Your responses should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect graduate-level writing and APA standards.
Find Emeprical evidence to support the problem
Im working on a Writing question and need guidance to help me study.
The main problem is there is poor decision making with novice nurses.
Feeling and Parker (2015) states novice nurses are to utilize critical thinking to make critical decisions every hour to keep patients safe. However, the general problem is that poor patient outcomes occur in healthcare due to poor clinical decision making due to the lack of critical thinking skills of novice nurses. Poor critical thinking skills impact patient outcomes, delays in treatment, and missed patient status changes (Huang, Lindell, Jaffe, & Sullivan, 2016, p. 237). From years 2008 to 2010, over 21,000 patients resulted in death due to poor decision making (Parker, 2014, p. 160). Nurses who use critical thinking allows for better nursing interventions that will ultimately lead to better patient outcomes (Naber, Schadler, & Hall, 2014, p. 95).
The specific problem is that nursing students who have just graduated from nursing programs do not have sufficient training in critical thinking skills, which negatively affects clinical decision making on the job. Nearly half of the errors made by the nurses resulted from poor clinical decision making (Ghorbani & Strömmer, 2018, p. 1151). Novice nurses focus on tasks rather than distinguishing pertinent patient changes, thus impairing clinical decision making (Walton, 2016, p. 27). Basic skills are demonstrated by novice nurses, but lack critical thinking to make appropriate decisions (Murray, Sundin, & Cope, 2019, p. 201).
Researchers have administered studies about poor patient outcomes, but a gap can be found regarding the reasons for this with some researchers stating it is due to poor clinical decision making due to poor critical thinking by nurses (Clayton, 2019) and others stating it is due to the curriculum barriers that interfere with student training in developing clinical decision making (Li, Ye, & Chen, 2019, p. 96; Cooke, Stroup, & Harrington, 2019, p. 219). Researchers are calling for further studies in the use of active learning strategies to enhance critical thinking skills so that clinical decision making can occur sooner for nursing students (Chan, 2019, p. 43; Cooke, Stroup, & Harrington, 2019, p. 219). Not addressing the critical thinking and clinical decision-making issue may adversely affect patient outcomes (Chan, 2019, p. 34). Also, not preparing nursing students to make these types of critical decisions upon graduation may further harm the patient safety (Chan, 2019, p. 43; Cooke, Strop, & Harrington, 2019, p. 219).
Support your assignment with at least five scholarly resources to suggest clinical decsion making is an issue for new nurses.
