Difficulties and Risks Associated with Using a Public Infrastructure It is critical to realize that credit reporting systems that are based on the usage of public infrastructure and the internet, in particular, cannot guarantee secure communication of data. Several parts of this system including data transfer and network are the most vulnerable. Security holes may be also found in database and interface if they are not decently protected. In this way, the situation when a user is willing to work with some information should be considered. For example, during the process of data transferring, hackers can interfere and obtain the information that is received by the user. Procedures maintained through the internet can be easily hacked by professionals so that they get an opportunity to read or listen to everything that is available to the user. Of course, appropriate encryption can protect the data from being stolen, but the risks remain. Such personal information as login and password can also be obtained by the hackers if it can be reached through the public infrastructure. Transmission is a process that turns out to be the most insecure that is why it is often used as an opportunity to hack confidential data. In this framework, it is significant to ensure a decent configuration of the database, which contains the most vital information. Unauthorized users may receive subscriber codes and other things if they have an opportunity to get into the system. They can steal customer list full of personal information such as names and addresses, and use it for illegal purposes. Thus, if the company has only one single database, its business competitors and hackers have high chances to receive all data. The organization that works with the insecure interface provides hackers with the opportunity to enter its system with no difficulties and increases the risks of potential swindle. Drawbacks in the network configuration affect security and allow particular components of the system to be compromised. But if one of these parts is hacked because of its vulnerability, unauthorized users may take advantage of the situation and receive access to others. In this way, the whole system can be taken down. ING’s Solution for Providing Security ING Life decided to use an extranet for the brokers and other users to have access to the database and all information needed for their work. The organization also provided an opportunity to use a Web-to-host service with the same purpose. Such approach gives a possibility to access data via the internet and does not require any additional operations. The clients of the company can use their browsers when they want to enter the system because their software is installed as an applet to them. In other words, a browser can be utilized as an interface. The system that is chosen by ING Life consists of servers, gateway, and firewall. It is the solution that provides a safe connection to the internet. In order to ensure the security of the database, the Pix firewall is used. It is claimed to prevent unauthorized entrance to the system and stealing of the information. This kind of firewall is based
Child molestation is a significant matter of concern, especially in the case of involvement of daycare centers. Sometimes, similar instances become the ground of a nationwide hysteria. Commonwealth vs. Amirault is an appropriate example of the abovementioned statement. The case came to the attention of investigators when a five-year-old boy, one of those brought to Fells Acres Day Care Center, told his parents that the owner’s son touched the boy’s private parts. According to the handyman’s story, he was helping the boy to change his clothes because he wet himself while sleeping in the daytime. The parents decided to report to Malden authorities when they noticed that the child displayed signs of unusual behavior. Therefore, police officers urged other parents who gave their children to the same center to study kids’ behavior and ask them about any strange developments, thus collecting reports of abuse in the daycare facility such as rape, taking naked photographs, and drinking urine (Crosson-Tower, 2015). The investigative process was lengthy and strenuous. In addition to the time-consuming collection of parents’ reports, it included fifteen court hearings, as well as appeals and re-trials. They began in the 1980s, while the last court was held in 2004 (Crosson-Tower, 2015). During this time, numerous decisions were made. For instance, according to the initial court ruling, all three defendants – Violet Amirault, Gerald Amirault, and Cheryl Amirault – were sentenced to 8 to 40 years in prison. Violet Amirault, the owner of the daycare center, was accused of abusing eighteen children and condemned to twenty years in prison. Her daughter, Cheryl, was found guilty of ten instances of child abuse and sentenced to eight-year confinement. Finally, Violet’s son, Gerald, was accused of abusing nineteen children and adjudged to forty-year custody (Crosson-Tower, 2015). Nevertheless, all of them were found innocent and released later: Violet and Cheryl in 1995 and Gerald in 2004 (C
The historical significance of China’s terms Foot binding Foot binding was a cultural practice exercised by the Chinese whereby the feet of young Chinese women were squeezed to fit into small shoes aimed at preventing their further growth. The practice was common among the court dancers in the Song dynasty, but it spread out to other parts of the country. The girl with a small foot was to be a royal woman while her siblings with big feet would be slaves. A girl with a small foot would be married to a rich family while the rest would be slaves. The main aim of foot binding was to enhance beauty. Grand Canal Grand Canal refers to the longest canal in the world, which is found in China. Even though the canal was completed during the Sui dynasty, its history dates back to the fifth century. The Grand Canal attracted many foreign powers, including the Japanese, the Persians, the Koreans, and the Italians. The canal is 1,776 (km) long, with an average height of 42 meters. During the Song dynasty, Chinese traders used the canal in transporting goods to other parts of the region. In the modern world, the canal is important to the history of China because it explains why foreign powers flooded the country during colonization. The canal was utilized in conducting business. Shinto Shinto is an ancient belief system with various religious beliefs. It entails the worship of nature, animism, acquisition of prediction skills, and respect of spirits. Shinto is the original religion of the Japanese people. The name was devised after the introduction of Buddhism. Shinto was made the state religion in 1860 during the reign of Meiji. Religion is important in understanding the cultural aspects and developmental aspects of the Japanese people. Shinto religion respects natural features such as rivers, waterfalls, and the moon. Moreover, it values charismatic people such as emperors. Finally, it allows its believers to worship abstract concepts such as fertility. Hiragana Hiragana refers to the syllabus of the Japanese, which is the Japanese system of writing. Hiragana is used in writing native Japanese words. It does not have language elements and suffixes. Moreover, the system of writing is used in expressing formal words or words that are complex to the reader. The understanding of Hiragana is critical as far as the Japanese traditional language is concerned. For a historian to understand how the Japanese language developed, he or she must comprehend the Hiragana system of writing. Silla dynasty Silla was one of the kingdoms of Korea in ancient Korea. It was one of the strongest dynasties in the world before the invention of modern leadership skills. King Park Hypeokgeose established the dynasty in the fifth century. In Korean society, Park is a common name that is usually passed from one generation to the other. After a long struggle, the Silla dynasty conquered its enemies and established itself as one of
Introduction This report presents an analysis of one of the brands participating in the ‘Get Singapore’ campaign. The aim of the ‘Get Singapore’ campaign is to promote the local brands in Singapore in an effort to attract more local consumers. It has been observed that locals prefer foreign brands to Singapore brands because of the perceived low quality in the former compared to the latter.

Purpose of the Study COVID-19 has shaped the global economic context significantly. Head Start, an initiative that has been providing educational opportunities, as well as focus on healthy nutrition and management of public health issues in children in families affected by the coronavirus, illustrates how the outcomes of COVID-19 have shaped the performance of non-profit organizations, causing them to adjust to the environment of the online setting. This study aims to analyze the coronavirus’s impact on educational and health management opportunities for children in families affected by COVID-19 in the U.S., providing solutions to the current problem by providing educational opportunities and social support to the target demographic. Literature Review Historical Review The coronavirus has brought changes that would have been deemed as otherwise unimaginable to the setting of the global economy. Specifically, the complete transfer to the online context and the readjustment of strategies for managing financial resources have been essential change that has affected the performance of multiple organizations (Wilke et al., 2020). Notably, due to the comparative recency of the pandemic becoming a global problem, the history of the issue at hand, namely, the effects of COVID-19 on early childhood education and health management, is quite brief (Wilke et al., 2020). Specifically, some of the earliest studies show that the variables in question are deeply interconnected as the pandemic has drastically changed resource allocation (Wilke et al., 2020). As a result, a range of early childhood education projects has been lacking the necessary funding (Wilke et al., 2020). Similarly, the management of public health issues in children has been affected by COVID-19 since a sizeable amount of financial resources had to be allocated to address the health crisis (Wilke et al., 2020). However, the exact relationships between the variables in question are yet to be discovered. In turn, the issue of early childhood education has been the subject of multiple discussions for quite some time. The developmental significance of providing children with early education opportunities has been examined since the 17 th century and has been actively explored since the 1930s (Silalahi, 2019). With the emergence of theories of ea
Introduction As a junior officer in the human resource department in a blue-chip company, I have been faced with the problem of dealing with the improvement of employees’ morale. There has been an increase in chaos and misunderstanding at the workplace between the employees and the human resource management team. This has affected the level of production negatively. At the same time, it has resulted in an increased cost of production. A lot of time is wasted solving emerging problems and there is the need therefore to boost the morale of the employees as firing them is not an option. Employees are in this department have a lot of experience, having worked with the company for more than 5 years. The company has also invested a lot in these employees, in the form of education and training programs. Statement of the Problem There is a need to identify an immediate solution to solve the dilemma that the company faces, in a bid to boost the employees’ morale. Research Method and Sources of Information The investigation of the problem will use both primary and secondary data and information. The secondary data and information will be derived from books, journals, employees’ worksheets, scorecards, performance indexes of the employees, and any other information that has been used to solve the dilemma in other organizations. It is also proposed that different case studies be undertaken for comparison purposes to get information on how they have been able to solve the same problem. The managers of the different companies will be interviewed and issued with questionnaires formulated and mailed to the different managers respectively. Employees in the company will also be involved in the study to get their views and expectations from the company. Assumptions made are that the companies that would be studied will give the appropriate solutions used in solving the same problem facing the company. Data Findings and Analysis After collection of the relevant data and information, the data will be presented in the form of charts, tables, and graphs. In this case, qualitative and qualitative methods will be applied for the analysis. For purposes of analyzing the data findings, SPSS will be used. Correlation analysis will be conducted to determine any relevance that exists between the findings and the problem at hand. Thereafter, the significance and r
Historically, many professional associations have viewed ethical codes as mechanisms used to establish their status professionally. This gives a way of regulating their membership in order to convince the world that they deserve to be as self regulating as possible (Aupperle 2005, p. 1057). The state of self regulation depends on ways to curb unethical behavior among members. Therefore, a code combined with ethics review board emerged as the solution. This code of ethics has helped in listing possible violations and has also executed threats and sanctions to such violations. The need to execute the ethical review board has not been an easy task at all for ACM. However, they later came to realize that the act of self regulation depends or can work only if there is a consensus and crucial commitment of its members. Recently, the most crucial rationale for ethical code has been the enactment of a set of commitments of the association members. In some instances, those enactments are brought out as rules and regulations as well as ideas. However, the main social function is clarification and stating the ethical requirement that are important to the organization which is acting as a professional association (Hagen, Albrechtsen & Hovden 2008, p. 377) The recent codes of ethics put more emphasis on socialization and education rather than compliance enforcement. In addition, these codes can work toward collective well being of the association even if it might be a distillation of collective reflection and experience. Moreo
Luper notices that while there might be destinies more regrettable than death, so losing life is yet a horrible destiny. Individuals may favor death to unceasing torment or punishment. However, few would dismiss the proposal to live as long as they need, and Epicurus’ contention is irrelevant. The expression from the content, ” An event can prevent me death from fulfilling my desires not just by frustrating my attempts to fulfill them, but also by removing my desires,” shows demise is an incident (Benatar, 2010, p.203). This is basically because it impedes individuals’ cravings. On the off chance that people have a longing they need it to be satisfied, demise may forestall its satisfaction. If an individual appreciates living, biting the dust keeps the person in question from proceeding to do as such. Assuming somebody has expectations and goals, the person will be baffled by the demise. Simply, the motivations to live give motivations not to die. For this load of reasons, passing is grave adversity. There is a representation of The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde where a young fellow sells his spirit for everlasting youth and excellence. When Dorian understands that it is anything but something he can clutch, he needs some investment, and he needs frantically to keep it. Along these lines, mortality does not simply annihilate excellence and youth. It makes them love and fixated, hence, in the long run, they will be obliterated. Luper’s view permits that situations can be terrible for us long after we are dead and without our thinking about them. I agree that given the certainty of death, it is a good idea to “Epicureanize” our cravings so they can be satisfied inside an ordinary human life expectancy and conditionalized toward the finish of life.
Introduction First developed by George Engel, a cardiologist, biopsychosocial approach to bipolar mental disorder suggests that a number of factors are interlinked in respect to the cause, progress and promotion of the condition. According to the model, biological, social and psychological factors contribute to the disease. In simple terms, the model argues that the mind and body systems are interlinked ad interdependent, with similar factors affecting each of these aspects of human (Miklowitz, Richards, George, Frank, et al., 2010). The approach is a straightforward technique that attempts to provide intervention protocols from more than one perspective. In general, the approach includes pharmacotherapy, psychological and social intervention perspectives. In this context, a pharmacotherapy is enhanced with active collaboration with the patient to determine the type of medications needed. It is also coupled with an adjunctive psychotherapy for enhancing illness adaptations, medical adherence, interpersonal relationships as well as job functioning. However, biopsychosocial approach involves recognition of the roles of stress within the course of outcomes. In addition, the psychosocial interventions have the potential to influence these processes in a positive manner. The purpose of this paper is to develop an in-depth review of literature in determining important findings about biopsychosocial approach to the condition. Pharmacotherapy: current and frequently prescribed medications Effectiveness In biopsychosocial, a number of biological aspects are linked to the cause and progression of the disease. Thus, biological approach to the disease involves application of pharmacological agents that target biological factors involved in the disease cause and progression. For example, risperidone and olanzapine are chemical drugs used to treat patients whose conditions are “atypical antipsychotic” in nature. These drugs are administered in doses of 2-4mg/day and 15-20mg/day respectively. They tend to manage such symptoms as aggression, suicidal attempts and devastating consequences of impulsivity. Benzodiazepines are effective in calming manic problems, soothing anxiety as well as reducing insomnia. According to the American Psychiatric Association (2012), mood disability is one of the most common conditions in patients with bipolar mental disorder. Therefore, a pharmacological agent must be used to stabilize the patient’s moods. According to the American Psychiatric Association (2012), lithium is one of the most effective agents of mood stabilization. However, lithium has some side effects. Anticonvulsants such as carbamazepine, sodium valproate, lamotrigine and topiramate have been used to treat the condition since 1970s. According to Post, Ketter, Uhde and Ballenger (2007), Carbamazepine is important in managing manic episodes becaus
The novel’s protagonist, Joss, demonstrates his individuality with his fantastic ability to play music. Jazz, blues, and other musical genres in the culture of blacks become a particular form of expression. In the novel, music becomes a liberating practice and is incarnated in various ways. Firstly, each character of the work seems to the reader as an instrument that, when interacting with others, creates an orchestra, a jazz symphony of the black population. Moreover, Joss constantly plays the trumpet, in which he finds solace. This incorporation of jazz music indicates the characters’ liberation from established social norms. The incorporation of jazz can also be considered concerning the protagonist and her wife. The author describes Joss’s jazz performances that Millie attends. Their relationship is told through the prism of meeting in jazz clubs and listening to music together. It’s only after Joss sees Millie’s relationship with music that their relationship spills over into something more (Kay, 1998). To better show the musical direction, the author mentions great jazz musicians throughout the work. Thus, Louis Armstrong and Jelly Roll Morton become guides to the world of music. Eminent jazz and blues melodies also run throughout the novel. Pieces such as “Blues in the Night,” and “Shake, Rattle, n’ Roll” are referenced in the book to incorporate jazz. Additionally, the music touches on the relationship between Joss and his adopted son Colman. Their relationship develops extremely difficult throughout the novel. This is because Colman does not become such a successful musician as Joss is. This incorporation of the musical theme also shows the relationship between parents and children. Another reason for using many musical references is the philosophy of being. The novel is based on the philosophy of jazz and reflects the vision of the callous attitude of the surrounding world toward the black population. Reference Kay, J. (1998). Trumpet . Picador.
