Background In the recent past, there has been an increasing reliance on technology to undertake numerous aspects of social, political, and economic lives in many countries across the globe. While the reliance on technology has had a positive impact on many aspects of our lives, that reliance also inherently attracts threats such as cyberterrorism. Consequently, cyber defense becomes a crucial element for nations. Cyber defense refers to the deliberate steps taken by governments to protect information that they hold to be sensitive. Cyber threats are not just a danger to the individual countries such as the U.S. that have ...

Project 1: Evaluation Plan

Evaluation Method For a favorable assessment of this QI initiative, the quality control department proposes the utilization of the formative evaluation (FE) approach. There are four main types of FE analyses that can result in an exhaustive evaluation of this program, namely developmental, implementation, progress, and interpretive assessments. For instance, implementation-focused analysis evaluates differences between plan execution and implementation. Here, the sources of data include stakeholder interviews, focus group discussions, observations, and patient charts (McGowan, Cusack, & Poon, 2008). Contrarily, progress analysis concentrates on progress towards improvement and implementation at first intervention. The analysis considers clinical performance data on process ...

Harnessing energy while walking to charge your phone would be a new technological development. The world is seeking other alternative sources of energy, especially given the looming threat of water shortage which is a problem to hydro-electricity (Wang, et al, 2016). Hence, this product will reduce the over-reliance of electricity and phone batteries thus contributing to environmental sustainability. Capturing energy from human motion is a promising energy source as it reduces exploitation of resources, particularly because it avoids extreme energy consumption. Further, people achieve significant health benefits by walking rather than driving or riding in motorcycles. More so, the ...

Capstone Project Milestone 2

Asthma is the most common cause of in-patient admissions in acute care hospitals. Poor education and training of patients with respect to self-care and symptom management has led to an increase in the number of asthmatic patients reporting to the emergency department (ED) or acute care hospitals. It is empirical to understand the cause or trigger factors that relate to acute exacerbations of asthma. Some of the common triggers that causes asthma include exercise, infections, allergens, smoking, infection, gastric problems, hear burns, and indigestion. Based on current evidence, food allergens are considered as the most common form of allergens ...

Quality Assessment

Scanning technology (3D laser scanner technique) measures the dimension of a precast concrete panel using extraction algorithms to measure boundary points with a compensation model to increase measurement accuracy (Kim et al., 2013). 3D laser scanning converts CAD models into BIM, which identifies scanned objects by ensuring precision for rebar mapping before actual drilling as well as rebar detailing for installing rebar cages (Hajian & Brandow, 2012). Before shipping precast concrete elements, dimensional quality assurance (DQA) is carried out to ensure that there are no dimensional defects using a scanner in an automated process that saves time and labor input ( ...

Minerals are natural inorganic substances that are found in rocks and soil and are considered essential components for human survival. Minerals compose an estimate 4% of the body and are necessary for normal functioning of the body. Humans are incapable of producing minerals which is why it is necessary to obtain minerals from plant and meat sources. Soil contains nearly 45% of minerals, wherein plants absorb all natural minerals which is absorbed in the human body upon consumption (Ward 2014). 18 minerals are considered essential out of the total 103 known minerals.

It is in the public domain that China, for a long time now, has been both a patrilineal and also a patriarchal society. It puts a greater emphasis on the significance of a family setup and the hierarchy that exists in it. The superiority of the male gender, on one hand, and the inferiority of the female gender, on the other hand, have been concepts that are deeply rooted in this community’s culture for almost two thousand years. These aspects are magnificent in numerous aspects of the Chinese social life. Women in this society, as a result, have ...

Energy has played an important role in building the world economy today. From enabling man to perform daily activities to enhancing the functioning of many industries, it is sensible to state that energy is of great importance to the world. Due to its importance, fossil fuels such as coal have thus been burnt down to create energy. However, different negative effects are associated with burning such fuels to the environment. For instance, global warming gasses are emitted thus, causing global warming as a result of carbon monoxide, which is emitted while burning coal. Despite their disparities, both developed and ...

Religion is viewed as an aspect that fosters good health and society continuation in general. It is a platform that helps societies to affirm their common beliefs and cultural values on a regular basis while also ensuring that societal order and cohesion is enhanced. The essay looks into ...

Gap in Care Quality during the Discharge Process for Care Coordination for Patients with Chronic Illnesses

Patients in the United States who experience long-term illnesses may change from one health care setting to another. They might move from home to a hospital, to an assisted living facility, or to other types of residential care. The coordination of care for patients with chronic illnesses is reliant on the abilities of health care providers to interact effectively in order to provide optimum outcomes (NTCC, 2010). In order to determine the best possible option for the patient, care coordinators must accurately assess the patient’s condition, reach a consensus on prognosis, evaluate possible resources, and develop and initiate ...

In government, deficit spending occurs when the government expenditure exceed the revenues collected over a specified fiscal period (Investopedia, 2016b). An important note on government deficit spending is that it begins at the budgeting stage where the government plans to spend more than it expects to get in revenues. The consequence of this is that the government has to borrow even with the achievement of the highest estimates in revenue collection. The government finances the deficit through two main ways.

Honey potting is an optimal detection method of botnets. Honeypots can be set up to listen for rogue connections and attract them (Wang et al. 2010). In today’s networks and the internet, honeypots have been successfully deployed to attract botnets and expose their membership and attacker behaviors. Honeypots are also optimal because they can be customized to increase their effectiveness depending on the use intended. For example in peer to peer networks they can be customized to emulate a node or a peer. As a security director, I would consider implementing a honeypot as a security control. Honeypots ...

Introduction

Exports can be seen as a mechanism for economic growth of a country. Increased exportation of products can provide output growth directly as part of aggregate output. An increase of foreign demand of products can result in a country’s growth through employment and additional income for exporters. Another significant contribution of exports is that it can impact economic growth by way of “efficient resource allocation,” including more economies of scale and technological change as a result of “foreign market competition” (Helpman & Krugman, 198; Ben-David & Loewy, 1998 as cited in Awokuse, 2008, p. 593). One of the drivers for ...
