Human factors are considered the weakest link to security, which makes it crucial to change user behavior. The changes primarily consist of workplace behavior, and work activities to stay compliant with standards, guidelines, and procedures of the security policy. Behavior modification involves some level of learning of the user.

You are the security trainer of a cloud service provider, research the threats, common workplace problems, issues, human errors, and others that relate to an employee working in the Information Technology field, then create a workplace security program.

A few ideas to get started are encrypting hard drives, no outside storage devices can be brought to work, awareness of threats internal and external.

Discussion: Using Process Maps for Quality Assessment and Improvement

Given the synergistic relationship between process and outcomes, leader-managers and other team members need to evaluate processes related to care delivery, customer service, and other matters in order to diagnose problems and effectively improve quality.

A process map is a visual representation that illustrates activities and practices as they occur, which serves as a valuable resource for identifying trouble spots. It is important to note that process maps can also be used for evaluation after an intervention has been implemented. For instance, looking at a process map following an intervention may help leader-managers to note discrepancies between what was planned and what is actually being practiced, or to see that a process has in fact improved, even if the outcomes have not met the targets.

In this Discussion, you examine how process mapping could be applied to your Course Project.

To prepare:

• Review the Learning Resources, focusing on the use of process maps for improving quality and safety.
• Bring to mind your work on your Course Project thus far. How could you use a process map to diagnose problems and inform strategies for improvement? In addition, think about how using a process map could inform and enhance your data collection efforts.
• Conduct additional research on this topic to support your thinking.

By Day 3

Post an explanation of how using a process map could inform and facilitate quality assessment and improvement, including data collection efforts, related to your Course Project. Support your response with evidence from the literature.

Read a selection of your colleagues’ responses.

By Day 6

Respond to at least two of your colleagues on two different days using one or more of the following approaches:

• Ask a probing question, substantiated with additional background information or research.
• Share an insight from having read your colleagues’ postings, synthesizing the information to provide new perspectives.
• Validate an idea with your own experience and additional resou

Assignment: Action Plan 2: Supporting Young Children Through a Family Loss

This week, you have been learning about the vital role of the family in the socialization of children. The course text highlighted many changes in the composition and functioning of families over time, notably the influence of divorce, single parenting, and step-parenting. This week, for your second Action Plan, you will focus on ways to support children through an event that was not covered in your text but one that, as an early childhood professional, you may face while working with young children and their families: the death of a close family member. You may already be aware that children respond to and have a different understanding of death than adults. Use the knowledge of child development that you have gained so far, your perception of family ecology from the readings this week, and the specific articles provided below in developing your Action Plan.

Action Plan Professional Scenario: Imagine you are working in an early childhood setting that cares for and teaches children ages 0–5. Two families in your program share a grandmother who has been an active and loving caregiver for their children—an infant, a toddler, and a preschooler. The grandmother has recently passed away and you want to support these families by helping them understand how infants, toddlers, and preschoolers grieve in order to help the children with this loss.

Before you create your Action Plan, consider:

• What does an early childhood professional need to know in order to understand the situation and needs of these children and families?
• What ideas and advice from experts may be useful in assisting children and families?
• What can early childhood professionals do to help, either directly, by suggesting activities and advice, or by referring the family to other community resources and professionals?

As you prepare this Action Plan, keep the focus on gathering and identifying the knowledge and ideas that you can best share with parents and other key adults. Remember that working directly with children as a grief counselor is an area of expertise that you may choose to pursue. However, as an early childhood professional, you are most qualified to help young children in this area by supporting the significant adults in their lives and remaining consistent, sensitive, and caring.

Follow these steps to create your Action Plan:

1. What You Need to Know: Learning About How Children at Different Ages Respond to Death

Naturally, children respond to situations in their own ways often based on where they are developmentally; sometimes based on temperament. Keep this uniqueness in mind as you read the following articles on children and grief. Although there is some overlap, you will find that all three help to clarify how young children of different ages respond to death. As you read, take notes on important developmental information and ideas that you think are important to share with parents/family members:

2. Ideas and Advice: Checking Resources

Think concretely about how best to help the parents/family members of an infant, a toddler, and a preschooler. Check your notes from reading the articles above. As needed, skim the articles again for key concepts about how young children perceive death and specific ways to support each age to share with parents/family members. Access these articles below as additional resources:

3. Taking Action: Supporting the Whole Family in Responding to Loss

With knowledge and ideas in hand, you’re ready to suggest ways to support young children in dealing with a family loss. Use the information and advice from the articles to make your plan. Think of it as preparing a script for meeting with the parents or other significant family adults. Include the following in your plan:

Part I: Supporting an Infant

Explain in your own words:

• Developmental information about what an infant may feel or understand about a family death
• Possible ways that an infant may respond to a family death
• Specific advice from experts on how to help an infant through a family loss

Part II: Supporting a Toddler

Explain in your own words:

• Developmental information about what a toddler may feel, believe, or understand about a family death
• Possible ways that a toddler may respond to a family death
• Specific advice from experts on how to help a toddler through a family loss

Part III: Supporting a Preschooler

Explain in your own words:

• Developmental information about what a preschooler may feel, believe, or understand about a family death
• Possible ways that a preschooler may respond to a family death
• Three specific ideas or activities the family can do at home to help a preschooler through a family loss

As you write your plan, remember the following:

• Your goal is to help parents/family members understand how infants, toddlers, and preschoolers may respond to the family loss.
• Parents/family members are most likely grieving, too. Consider their feelings in explaining their children’s needs.
• Choose language that you would feel comfortable using—language that is respectful and sensitive—to create a model presentation for talking with adult family members.

I don’t know how to handle this Management question and need guidance.

Hello,

I need three responses of at least 175 words each for the below students discussions for this week. Also in the bold below are the questions the students at answering.

Think about your own organization – where you work (or a company you desire to research). What are the top two threats and the top two opportunities over the next five years?

Student one:

Serco Group, plc. is a global services company that operates across four geographies: UK and Europe, North American, Asia Pacific and the Middle East. I work for our North America division (Serco-NA), which employs over 8,000 people. The North American division works in four sectors:

• Defense – “delivering system and equipment lifecycle support services for critical military assets” (Reimagining Public Services, n.d.).
• Citizen Services – “providing case management and workforce development services” (Reimagining Public Services, n.d.).
• Transport – delivering transportation systems (Reimagining Public Services, n.d.).
• Health Services – supports government programs (Reimagining Public Services, n.d.).

I work under the Defense sector of Serco-NA. The two biggest threats my division and sector face are:

• Aggressive competition – Serco competes in the market with several companies, including Microsoft, Symantec and Wipro. “It is ranked 8th among its top ten competitors” (Serco’s Competitors, Revenue, Number of Employees, Funding and Acquisitions, 2019). These companies have proven strategies that sustain customers. They also create new and innovative products and services that attract new business. With so many companies leading the market, it’s difficult to stay relevant.
• Security – Being attached to the Department of Defense means the information my company has is valuable to many other entities. Our network and physical security is always a priority as we attempt to protect ourselves from hackers and other malicious beings.

Our two biggest opportunities are:

• Increase in demand – More and more government agencies require the ability to outsource their work to contractors. With so many agencies losing funds, they simply don’t have the ability to sustain employees and keep abreast of the latest technology. By outsourcing the work, they can cut costs without sacrificing operations.
• Increase in globalization – By the nature of our work and where Serco is currently operating, we have the opportunity to market our products and services to new locations and expand our company.

Student two:

I decided to focus on my business that I started at home. As I stated in my introduction last week, I make traditional baked goods, as well as keto-diet and/or vegan friendly options. I have implemented a delivery service and also participate in events at establishments in Kuwait, for example, the Kuwait Zoo’s Feed Market, Qout Market, and as a vendor at school events, festivals, and fundraisers. I will discuss the threats and opportunities that I expect to possibly present themselves over the next five years.

As our readings show us, the environment surrounding any business has a major influence on the success of an organization and the techniques they use to push their products/services. The overall environment can be sectioned off into two aspects, the general environment and the industry (Anonymous, 2015). The general environment includes all trends that are associated with technology, the society around the business, the demographics within that society, and the economic atmosphere of the area (Anonymous, 2015). The industry refers to the competitive environment, which encompasses all of the competing businesses in the market (Anonymous, 2015).

Both the general environment and the industry create threats that are relevant to my business within the next five years. The first threat would be the competing businesses in my area. Kuwait, much like the rest of the world, has seen a huge surge in the new trend of veganism and the ketogenic diet. I, myself, have been vegetarian for years and even practiced the “keto diet” several years ago, before we ever had any type of keto-friendly options within the market. Now, however, there have been several new restaurant chains offering food options for both types of eaters. Also, there is a well-known bakery (J’s Bakery) that has picked up more speed because they now offer several types of desserts that are vegan or keto-friendly. Social media has allowed several home-based businesses to gain some notice as well. Instagram has become a very popular way to order products similar to mine from other home-based businesses. Also, whereas the events and festivals here do help me gain more customers, they also provide other businesses with the same opportunity, as there are usually several vendors offering similar products. For example, where I was accepted to participate in Qout Market, J’s Bakery regularly attends as well. Another threat would be the political atmosphere in Kuwait. I do not necessarily mean recent events that have taken place so close to Kuwait, but rather the health of the Amir. He is now 90 years old and has already went to the states for a while for medical treatment. Although we all hope he lives for many years longer, the reality is that his age and health may cause unpredictable political issues, if he were to pass away. We just simply do not know what the next Amir would be like and how it would affect Kuwait.

Moving on to more positive things, I would like to mention the opportunities. The first opportunity being that I would be able to obtain a business license within the next few years. This would create a wide range of business opportunities. The first is that I would be able to enter into different ordering services. For example, we have several online ordering services such as Talabat, Deliveroo, and Carriage, all of whom only accept partnership with businesses who have obtained a government license. By being able to join their programs, I would be able to reach thousands more possible customers who regularly use their apps/websites to order products. There are also some events which only accept licensed businesses. Obtaining a government license also ties in with my next opportunity, which is the opening of new complexes that offer rental options or the option to purchase a unit and obtain the deed for the unit. A government license would make it possible to open a location, rather than just delivering or participating in events. In addition, rental and purchasing prices are cheaper in the complexes I am referring to because it is not in the “capital area” (near Kuwait City).

Student three:

I own a couple kitchen and bath shops and I sell cabinetry and counter tops. The top two threats I face are other small local competition and the well being of the housing market. The top two opportunities I have over the next five years are the cheap product sold by the box stores and lumber yards which are my large competition and the fact the housing market is good. I am in a niche’ market and I sell high end product which is all wood and solid surfacing. “With the globalization of economy and development of technology, organizational strategy development in distribution channel management has become more significant for a competitive business world (Sahin: 2018).”

Other small businesses have become threats to me recently because they said I could not carry the same brand of product in one of my locations because they are within a 15 minute and 15 mile radius. I went and got another location an hour away on lake Winnipesaukee so I could get this cabinet brand. Now the cabinet company of this particular brand says I can sell them out of my other office as well on lake Sunapee: I just cant have any displays in here. I have 3 small competitors down here on lake Sunappee and 3 up north more on lake Winnipesaukee. I have seen their locations and mine are better. The large lumber yards and box stores like Home Depot carry trash particle board product and people come to me because they want high end furniture for their home. All I really need to sell is 1 kitchen a month or $20,000 in sales to make 1/4 or $5,000 to pay all my bills. The bills among the two stores I own are only $2,500 total because each rent is $1,000 and everything is mostly included even internet. I hope to get a lot more stores considering I now have 2 and its only been 8 months in business and apparently I can only fit 10 stores in the state of New Hampshire within a 30 minute or 30 mile radius. Each store only cost me $5,000 to open because the rents are cheap and they are small about 700 square feet and I can only fit three to four 72 inch displays in there which cost me a $1,000 each. I have 6 stone towers in each which are free from the distributors. I got a free 72 inch cabinet display from this other company in each store as well. I have a few brands of cabinetry and stone I offer. I will need employees soon when I get a third location which would be another threat or liability to me, but as long as I give them a 50% commission then they can make $2,500 on a $20,000 sale and I can make $2,500 and pay rent and bills and still take home minimum wage monthly from a location. The box stores and large lumber yards with their cheap trash product and the upswing housing market is an opportunity for me in my small niche’ market. The other small businesses in this small niche’ market are my biggest threat so far considering they have already tried to pull a mafia move on me and shut me down with a line a product I like. Employee’s may be a threat of concern later down the road but I will see how it works out in a couple more months when I get another store. I’m not scared to fail and I have already outgrown my other 6 small local competitors who only have 1 location each. To me its just a bunch of scam centers but I guess its fair because that’s business with all the laws and regulations and stuff. I guess its fair I can make 75% on a $10,000 kitchen, but I only take 25% to stay competitive. Its my goal to beat everyone else’s pricing with the best all wood and solid surfacing products available. That’s why people come to me. Even though its just a bunch of furniture store scam centers. Instead of making my 75% which I’m highly capable of; I simply take my small fair 25% profit and give the customer the best product available. Its also important to consider it takes about 8 weeks or 2 months to design and consult and close a sale. 25% scam centers are decent though. Sometimes I will do a 50% off sale and a bunch of rich millionaire home owners will come in and buy kitchens and baths. Its a funny place. The only thing that isn’t funny is the other small businesses who think its a game and want to try mafia stuff on me and claim I can’t sell stuff because they sell stuff. Well now they might just be too small to sell stuff if I happen to say so.

Student four:

Opportunities help in supporting the organizational strategy and threats stop or hinder an organization from achieving its goals. It is important to have knowledge on both opportunities and threats of your organization because it will help in analyzing or discovering market trends, identifying important shifts, and creating a successful workplace. The analysis of opportunities available for the organization and threats posed focuses on an organization’s external environment (BUSN620, 2020). I am currently working in a behavioral health clinic that is dedicated to supporting our troops with their mental and emotional issues/needs. The first opportunity I see in this organization is expanding our inventory with advanced or newer psychological testing. I have worked in the organization for three years now and every year we get to provide newer psychological testing to our troops which will help in their clinical diagnosis. Technology is advancing faster than ever and it is expected to advance even more in the coming days. Hence, with the advanced technologies and faster improvements in healthcare, I see getting newer psychological tests in my organization in the next five years as an opportunity. Another opportunity would be including marital counseling and substance abuse counseling. The clinic is doing great with providing individual counseling but including marital counseling and specialized substance abuse counseling can be another great opportunity in my organization. One threat could be expensive medical equipment and psych tests in the future. With the improved products, prices go up too. Expensive medical equipment can be the biggest threat in providing quality mental health care to our troops over the next five years. Another threat is the social stigma with seeking behavioral health services. Even with newer/expensive equipment and qualified professionals, there is a high chance that patients will not openly talk and utilize the services because of existing social stigma for years. A company’s progress, stability, and profitability are interdependent on its ability to quickly identify and respond to changes in the external environment hence, understanding opportunities and threats are important (Jessee, n.d.).

I’m stuck on a Business question and need an explanation.

Question 1

Choose 2 of the 10 national companies featured in the Top Ten list by Fortune Magazine – http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/ or GO TO: https://fortune.com/fortune500/ Go to www.sba.gov to research the laws applicable in the states in which these companies are based.

Which companies did you choose?

Why?

How do the worker’s compensation and tax laws differ for each company?

Which company do you think was more difficult to establish based on state laws?

Question 2

How Much Do You Need to Get By?

The cost of living is the average monetary costs of the goods and services required to maintain a particular standard of living. It is closely related to the CPI. In fact, in order to keep up with inflation, the Social Security Administration calculates automatic cost of living adjustments to Social Security benefits based on annual percentage increases in the CPI. As you can imagine, the cost of living varies greatly by state and city. For example, the cost of living in New York City or San Francisco is much higher than in Topeka, Kansas, or Charlotte, North Carolina. Why do you think this is? What factors account for the differences?

Due Date: Jan. 28th at 11:59 p.m.

Question 3

Visit: www.cyborlink.com. Review the cultural links for 3 different countries. Create a list of 3 business “do’s” and 3 business “don’ts for each country when conducting business there. You need to make sure that the do’s and don’t that you are reporting on are ones that have not been reported on by other students in the class.

This is a very good exercise is seeing how other countries customs can be so different (not necessarily wrong, but different) than ours.

Question 4

Watch the youtube video below on the Fall of Enron.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stwcqdk7C_w&noredirect=1

Discuss any ethical concerns that you find and why you think that this occurred. How could this have been prevented?

Help me study for my Social Science class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.

Sometimes it is helpful to get an outside perspective. In your discussion post, describe your selected social science issue and include two relevant questions that social science professionals (e.g., psychologists, sociologists, or anthropologists) might be interested in.

In response to your peers, add a relevant question or summary that will support them in narrowing the investigative focus for their topic/issue. SEE THE RUBRIC BELOW.

TWO (2) PEER POST WILL BE SEND SO YOU CAN RESPOND TO IT .

I’m working on a Marketing exercise and need support.

Week 2 Discussion 2

Can you help me understand this History question?

I need 5 pages of answers, all questions should be answered fully completed.

• 1.What’s the main point in Laennec’s “On the Diagnosis of Disease of the Chest”? What was Laennec’s pathological view of chest diseases? What do you think the purpose of which Laennec wrote this? Who would be the target reader?
• 2.How did Laennec associate with his innovation with his predecessors who inspired him? How (what steps did he take) did he improve the diagnostic technique? What medical and non-medical consideration facilitated him for the improvement? What is the significance of his improvement in the field of anatomy? How do you connect Laennec’s medical practices and the invention of stethoscope with his pathological view of chest diseases?
• 3.What were the three classes of application of the invented stethoscope, according to Laennec? What remained limited for Laennec to examine the chest cavity with his new instrument? Within these applications, what were the examples that Laennec could achieve but his predecessors could not?
• 4.In the preface of Virchow’s Cellular Pathology, could you tell who was the target audience of this work/lecture series? What was the purpose of this work/lecture? What was Virchow’s view on medical reform/revolution? How would you associate his view on science/ medicine with his political view?
• 5.What was Virchow’s pathological view of diseases? What was Virchow’s method of conveying his pathological view? How did Virchow prove (what were the evidences) that “cells as the ultimate active elements of the living body”? How did Virchow compare with and contrast to the humoral and solidistic views of pathology?
• 6.According to Hsu, what was Jean Baptiste Du Halde’s foundational understanding of medicine? Compare Du Halde’s remark on Chinese pulse diagnostics in a basis on a conception of the body as a kind of lute with René Laennec’s mediate auscultation in diagnosing of a living body. What are the similarities? How did Du Halde seem to impose the Galenic understanding of pulsation on the Chinese pulse patterns?
• 7.According to Hsu, how does Chinese tacit perception/experience of pulse taking achieve a diagnosis in a detached and descriptive way? How does a Chinese physician “calibrate” himself or herself when taking a patient’s pulse? What are the differences between “active touch” in Chinese pulse taking and “passive touch” in psychophysical practice?
