WEEK 1 KEEPING CURRENT IN THE FIELD

WEEK 1 KEEPING CURRENT IN THE FIELD

Division chiefs, program managers, and other senior staff members working in CISO organizations frequently find themselves needing to stay current on technologies while, at the same time, leading and managing segments of the IT security program and assigned staff. Attending conferences is one way that these senior level personnel can learn about new technologies, tactics, techniques, and practices which can be adopted by an enterprise. Over the course of two or three days, a busy manager or executive can attend a large number of briefings while also developing business relationships by networking with others in the field.

Find an IT Security or Cybersecurity conference that will be offered in the next six months and research the types of presentations and workshops which will be offered. Research the costs associated with attendance (conference fees, meals, lodging, travel). The conference venue must be within the continental United States. The conference itself should be one that you are interested in and would attend if the funding were made available.

Write up a travel request which includes a summary of the conference, a justification which explains the benefits of attendance (many conferences will provide a template), and an estimate for the costs that includes the following categories: conference or workshop fees, meals, lodging, travel. Format your travel request as a 1 – 1/2 page business memorandum (no more than 7 paragraphs) addressed to the Padgett-Beale CISO.

Your travel request should include links (URLs) for the conference and venue (including the hotel where you would stay). If meals are included in the conference fee then you should state that and not include those meals in your estimate. Use this GSA website to obtain estimates for meals that are not included in the conference fees:  https://www.gsa.gov/travel/plan-book/per-diem-rates

HOW YOU VIEW YOUR CURRENT OR FUTURE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR PROMOTING STRATEGIC HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT WITHIN HEALTH CARE.

Human Resources Management Discussion 300-350 words Strategic human resources management aligns human resource practices with the strategic objectives of an organization. Successful health care managers need to understand how human resource functions can be utilized to fulfill their organization’s mission and goals, such as the promotion of high-quality care, a customer-service orientation, and financial viability.

  • Share key insights you have gained about the impression (positive, negative, or mixed) that you and others have of human resources management. Also, explain what factors might be contributing to this perception.
  • Describe how you view your current or future responsibilities for promoting strategic human resources management within health care.
  • Analyze two metrics and indicate how each could be used as an indicator of HR efficiency, productivity, and/or value added.

Q2

Information Systems

3-4 pages APA format

Due: November 11th, 3:00 PM PST-Statistics Assignment

1.  For the population of low birth weight infants, a significant linear relationship was found to exist between systolic blood pressure and gestational age (the data set lowbwt1.csv, and lowbwt2.txt; these datasets both include variables for the same samples, in the same order, with different but overlapping columns). The measurements of systolic blood pressure are saved under the variable name sbp, and the corresponding gestational ages under gestage. Also contained in the data set is the variable name apgar5, the five-minute apgar score for each infant. (The apgar score is an indicator of a child’s general state of health five minutes after it is born; although it is actually an ordinal measurement, it is often treated as if it were continuous.) (11 marks)
(a)  (2 marks) Create a scatter plot of systolic blood pressure versus five-minuteapgar score. Does there appear to be a linear relationship between these two variables?
(b)  (2 marks) Using systolic blood pressure as the response and gestational ageand apgar score as the explanatory variables, fit the multiple linear regression
yˆ = a + βˆ1x1 + βˆ2x2.
Interpret βˆ1, the estimated coefficient of gestational age. What does it mean in words? Similarly, interpret βˆ2, the estimated coefficient of five-minute apgar score.
(c)  (1 mark) What is the estimated mean systolic blood pressure for the populationof low birth weight infants whose gestational age is 31 weeks and whose fiveminute apgar score is 7?
(d)  (2 marks) Test the null hypothesis:
H0 : β2 = 0
at the 0.05 level of significance. What do you conclude?
(e)  (2 marks) Construct a plot of the residuals versus the fitted values of systolicblood pressure. What does this plot tell you about the fit of the model to the observed data?
2.  The data set lowbwt also contains sex, a dichotomous random variable designating the birth sex assigned to each infant. (4 marks)
(a)  (2 marks) Add the indicator variable sex (where 1 represents male and 0 female) to the model that contains gestational age. Given two infants with identical gestational ages, one assigned male and the other female, which would tend to have the higher systolic blood pressure? By how much, on average?
(b)  (2 marks) Add to the model a third explanatory variable that is the interactionbetween gestational age and birth sex. Does gestational age have a different effect on systolic blood pressure depending on the birth sex of the infant?

Ecosystem Project

Create a PowerPoint and write an essay

LAB: Ecosystem Project (write a paper and make a powerpoint presentation)
Step 1 – Select an Ecosystem (ALREADY SELECTED NEOTROPIC )
Refer to page 511, Figure 17.10-Discuss with the other students assigned to your Biogeographic Realm on which specific ecosystem you will present on. NO TWO students in your Biogeographic Realm should be presenting the same ecosystems. For Example: If you were assigned Neartic, and you have Jane, John, and Austin in your group. Then Jane could choose Temperate Decidious Forest, specifically the Ozark Mtn. Forest here in AR, John could pick Desert, specifically the Death Valley National Park, and Austin could choose Polar Ice Cap, specifically Greenland above the Artic Circle. (not decide specific area to write, have to find one location like yellow highlighted in the Neotropic Biogeographic
Step 2 – What to Include in Your Paper
I have seven specific points that I will be looking for in your paper. Be sure you answer these questions as you write your paper:
Biogeographic Realm: Nearctic (example)
Biome: Temperate Decidious Forest (example)
Specific Location: Ozark National Forest in Pope County (example)
1. Describe your biome from your assigned biogeographic realm. (Reference map is figure 17.10) Once you select your specific ecosystem(Neotropic), yearly climate, describe its inhabitants, living and physical environment (i.e. rocks, soil, climate, etc.) and how they interact.
2. Is this a harsh environment or one thriving with resources (Ch 17.4)? What is the species richness and biodiversity in your specific location (Ch 17.1, 17.2, 17.3)? Describe examples in your biome of the 3 kinds of species interactions (Ch 16.2, 16.3, 16.4)?  NOTE: Need to describe species at your specific location, “snakes, lizards, insects” etc are not acceptable. You should say “Artic Fox”, “White-tailed Deer”, “Hog-nosed snake”, “Green Anole lizard”, “Dung Beetle”, etc.
3. How does energy flow through the environment (biomass pyramids, food webs)? Give specific species examples for each tropic level. The variety of plant life (primary producers), variety of animals (primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers), and decomposers that are found within your biome (Ch 16.6).
4. What are some adaptations that the organisms in your specific location have adapted with? (Ch 16.1)
5. What about the nutrient cycle (refer to the water, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon cycles) (Ch 16.6). How does this ecosystem impact humans (Ch 16.7, Ch 17.6, 17.7)? What are the ecosystem services your specific location provide?
6. Is the environment prone to drought, fires, earthquakes, or any other natural events (density-independent factors) (Ch 18.1, 18.2, 18.3, 18.5)? What are some threatening issues if any in this environment (i.e. deforestation, pollution, urbanization, over hunting/fishing, exotic organisms)?
7. Any endangered or threatened organisms in your specific location? What about federal protection or conservation organizations at your specific location (Ch 16.5, 17.8, 17.10)?
· Step 3 – References and Formatting
• Your paper must be a minimum of 3 typed pages.
 • College level grammar and sentence structure is expected. 
• Use standard MLA writing styles for your paper and for your references.
• You should have a minimum of 3 references, one of which needs to be from a non-internet source.
• You may post photos and other supporting materials at the end of your paper, however, photos and extra materials do not count as part of your three page minimum.
Citation Example:
When quoting someone’s work directly or their ideas, you must give them credit (Doe and Smith, 2004).
Reference Example:
Doe, J.L., and Smith, R. T.  2004. How to write a reference and in-paragraph citations.  Journal of Grammar  v. 3 pgs 543-556
Note: Please make sure all your internet references are from valid scientific websites, I do check your references when grading. Good websites-National Geographic, NOVA.pbs, .edu websites, .gov websites are some acceptable examples. You should avoid blogs, weebly, prezi, product/merchandising websites, political and religious websites as these are often biased and unscientific opinion sites.
