Assignment 3: Evaluating Access Control Methods Due Week 6 and worth 50 points Imagine that you are the Information Systems Security Specialist for a medium-sized federal government contractor. The Chief Security Officer (CSO) is worried that the organization’s current methods of access control are no longer sufficient. In order to evaluate the different methods of access control, the CSO requested that you research: mandatory access control (MAC), discretionary access control (DAC). and role-based access control (RBAC). Then, prepare a report addressing the positive and negative aspects of each access control method. This information will be presented to the Board of Directors at their next meeting. Further, the CSO would like your help in determining the best access control method for the organization. Write a three to five-page paper in which you: Explain in your own words the elements of the following methods of access control: a. Mandatory access control (MAC) b. Discretionary access control (DAC) c. Role-based access control (RBAC) 2. Compare and contrast the positive and negative aspects of employing a MAC. DAC. and RBA, 3. Suggest methods to mitigate the negative aspects of MAC, DAC. and RBAC. 4. Evaluate the use of MAC, DAC, and RBAC methods in the organization and recommend the best method for the organization. Provide a rationale for your response. 5. Speculate on the foreseen challenge(s) when the organization applies the method you chose. Suggest a strategy to address such a challenge(s). 6. Use at least three quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Project 3 – Artist Paper: Each student will write a 4-6 page paper on a specific artist or band. The artist may be selected by the student but needs to meet the following criteria: 1) they recorded and released at least three different albums; 2) they first appeared/recorded before 1990, but not before 1960 (artists from the ’70s and ’80s are preferred), and 3) Dr. Herman must approve your artist before you begin your project. This is a research paper (using standard fonts, size, and form) and you are encouraged to use any and all resources available to you. While you are not required to provide footnotes, a standard bibliography that lists all sources (including time-stamped web sites) should be included. Before getting Dr. Herman’s approval it is recommended that you do some preliminary research to make sure there is enough information available on your artist. You may also want to have a shortlist of other artists that interest you since the first artist you selected might not be approved for your report. The paper should be a historical perspective that discusses the following:?Where and when did the artist get started? Who are/were their musical influences? A brief career description including relevant awards, concerts, special appearances, turning points, record labels, and/or producers.?A discussion of any relevant non-musical issues such as image, politics, behavior/arrests, or personal relationships.?Does the artist fit into a specific style or trend? Were they innovative in moving in new directions? Did they, in turn, influence the next generation? Why should this artist be included in musical history books? Proofread for grammar, sentence structure, and writing style. 

Every medical facility from a single practitioner to the integrated delivery system should have a compliance plan. As a starting point for your research, information begins on page 437 in your book about corporate compliance and I have attached a .pdf from the text, Documentation for Medical Practices by Cheryl Gregg Fahrenholz, AHIMA publishers, 2011 to help you out. Develop a compliance plan for a facility of your choosing.  It may be a real facility or a fictional one.  Either way, your compliance plan must be your own.  The following content should be present. Briefly detail the specifications of the facility. For example, “ABC Clinic is a 5-physician facility representing family practice and OB/GYN. The facility recently converted to an electronic record. The practice averages 250 visits a week.” Facility information helps to frame your Compliance Plan. Put yourself in the position of a compliance officer as you develop your plan. Outline your policies on the following. These topics are the minimal ones to cover.  You should include others that you feel are important: Ethics Privacy and Security elements Patient Rights Human Resources to include labor law Billing and Reimbursement How are you going to educate your staff on the compliance plan policies and enforce them? How are you going to monitor your policies and compliance with them? Discuss the consequences of policy violations and ethics violations. APA formatting is required for your sources. There is no minimum page requirement and no need to add an abstract or title page. I have added the rubric so you can see how this project will be weight

Discuss security design principles utilizing different authentication methods and (password) policies. For example, think about the basic security design principles and how organizations utilize password policies and authentication methods.

The assignment consists of a portfolio of written work presenting tasks that underpin a staged process of investigating and improving a learning activity. It is very important that you identify your own area of investigation which leads into your design based experiment promptly so that you can begin to construct the portfolio and then add to this in sequence as each aspect of the module is taught. Task 1 Starting point (300 words) The aim of this task is to describe a learning experience that is important to you as it is now.  What are the intended learning goals of the activity? What typically happens during this experience? Are there any critical incidents that come to mind? What do you feel about this? Why do you think it happens this way? Task 2 Mapping and critiquing relevant research (1000 words) This task asks you to find examples of research that relate to and may help to explain the learning experiences you describe in Task 1. These must be empirical studies that report data drawn from the direct observation of learning – hence opinion pieces or papers that review research in an area are not suitable. There are two subtasks involved: Use the table provided to map out the main features of each of the studies (this can be submitted as an appendix to your portfolio) Using this table as a reference, write a short critique of one study. Some of the questions below may be useful in guiding your approach. Is there a clear research question or hypothesis identified? Does it draw on any theories of learning explicitly or implicitly? What research methodology has been chosen? Are the reasons for this clear? Is the approach valid (i.e. is the method likely to answer the question)? Is the approach reliable (e.g. has the approach to data analysis transparent to you)? Are the findings clearly reported? Are they based on the data collected? Has the data been stretched too far in your opinion? Do the conclusions follow from the findings? What generalisations are made? Are practical implications identified?  Do these have any relevance to you in your professional context? Are you convinced? Have your own theories changed? Task 3 Applying theory to your experiences (500 words)  There are two subtasks involved: Represent in the diagrammatic form how different orientating frameworks apply to your own learning experiences, e.g. using a Venn diagram, mind map, the odd one out, SWOT format. Write a commentary on the diagram that explains how the theories compare and identify which is most helpful in understanding the learning processes involved.  Are there any related grand theories you can use to inform your redesign of the learning experience?   Task 4 Designing a learning activity to test (1000 words) You now need to think about a new Framework for Action that changes the way your learning experience is organized. Your write-up needs to explain the following: What new materials, tasks, and/or roles have you designed? (i.e. your proposed Framework for Action) What is the learning trajectory you envisage and the intended outcomes that you have in mind?  What is the research evidence or theoretical basis for these expectations (i.e. relate your design to the orienting framework, grand theory or any relevant more specific theories you are using)  What changes in the enacted behaviors do you expect? Why do you think your design will produce these outcomes? Task 5 Critique of research methods used in the experiment (500 words) You need to explain how and why the methods you are using (e.g. participant observation; video; interview) will help you to test your hypotheses about the newly designed learning activity.  Why are these methods well suited to investigating learning processes in ‘real’ contexts?  What problems and limitations have you considered when applying them to the trial of your learning activity? Task 6 Carrying out and reporting the design experiment (2000 words) This section consists of a report of the outcomes from a design experiment that involves a cycle of data collection and learning activity, relating your innovation (framework for action) to previous experience.   You need to:  Document the instructional starting point: present data to show how the learning experience typically occurs or how it has happened in the past (this may include recording learning in action and/or other data). Present data collected during a learning experience that employs your designed framework for action. You are free to structure the write-up in any way you see fit, although the headings used for the mapping exercise in Task 3 may prove useful here.  In any case, the report must contain the following: Pseudonyms for all places and people who are directly referred to in the report.  It should not be possible to identify participants from their given names or their reported speech. A short description of the context, including location, participants, the aims and objectives of the activity concerned. Your hypothesis about the effect of your design. A comparison of variables of interest with and without your designed framework for action. A commentary explaining what the data tell us about learning processes before and after the introduction of your design.  You will need to make reference to the theory when doing this. Review your hypothesis in the light of the data you have gathered.  How has your understanding changed?  Are there any confounding factors or problems with the conduct of the experiment that make it hard for you to draw firm conclusions?  How might these be addressed by future cycles of research? Ethical issues that were addressed before the research proceeded.  In particular, you need to refer to steps taken to secure informed consent.  Examples of information sheets and consent forms should be included in the appendices. N.B.  Recordings are not to be submitted with the portfolio. However, you may want to present extract(s) of transcribed dialogue from video or audio recordings. (The length of these will vary but ten turns is around the maximum you should aim for).   Explain how the extracts were chosen. Task 7 Next steps (500 words) Use one of the design research frameworks discussed (e.g. Middleton et al) to explain how your micro investigation could be developed into an extended study of learning processes to produce a domain-specific instructional theory.  What are the different stages that would characterize how this study evolves over time? Task 8 Critique of design research as a methodology for improving learning in your context (40 credit version only) (2000 words) This task asks you to critically appraise design-based research as a methodology for innovating on and improving learning in your context.  The following questions may help in structuring your approach: What is the predominant methodology that is used to investigate learning in your area of interest? (e.g. Randomised control trials, quasi-experiments, action research, case studies) What new perspectives does design-based research add to this field of research?  What are the potential weaknesses in this methodology that make its use problematic?

What are the different ways to lower gun-related deaths in the US?

Look at the attachment for more details on the assignment. In the word document, you need to be very detailed if it’s going to be more than three pages or less, please let me know.  Entity-relationship diagrams (ERDs) can be found in many styles. In this assignment, you will be building upon a provided ERD. Even within the style of the diagram provided, there are different options for representing relationships. You may choose any style to use, but you must be consistent within your diagram. If you would like to view different styles of diagrams, you can look at this variety of examples. Download this ERD, and save it to your computer in a folder where you save your assignments for this course. You will expand the provided diagram to include additional entities and relationships. As you will see, the diagram contains a general set of entities that might be used for employees of any type of organization. As you plan the expansion of your diagram, it is important to identify the type of organization or a specific organization that you are now designing the database for. You will add entities that relate to the existing ones in the diagram. Remember, each entity becomes a table when you build your database in your database management system. The provided diagram called Start_U3.drawio includes four entities, as follows: Department  Product/Service  Employee  Customer You must decide what organization your diagram is for and then determine what two new entities must be added to your diagram to fit the needs of your organization.
