An introduction to Class Presentation by John MIS 2321 - Spring 2019 Hello and welcome to An Introduction to Hadoop Data Everywhere “Every two days now we create as much information as we did from the dawn of civilization up until 2003” Eric Schmidt then CEO of Google Aug 4, 2010 Read this quote. That data is something like 4 exabytes. The Hadoop Project Originally based on papers published by Google in 2003 and 2004 Hadoop started in 2006 at Yahoo!Top level Apache Foundation project Large, active user base, user groups Very active development, strong development team One way to do that analysis is through Hadoop Who Uses Hadoop? Rackspace for log processing. Netflix for recommendations. LinkedIn for social graph. SU for page recommendations. Hadoop Components Storage Self-healing high-bandwidth clustered storage Processing Fault-tolerant distributed processing HDFS MapReduce HDFS cluster/healing. MapReduce HDFS Basics HDFS is a filesystem written in Java Sits on top of a native filesystemProvides redundant storage for massive amounts of dataUse cheap(ish), unreliable computers Let’s talk about HDFS HDFS DataData is split into blocks and stored on multiple nodes in the clusterEach block is usually 64 MB or 128 MB (conf)Each block is replicated multiple times (conf)Replicas stored on different data nodesLarge files, 100 MB+ What is MapReduce? MapReduce is a method for distributing a task across multiple nodes Automatic parallelization and distributionEach node processes data stored on that node (processing goes to the data, unlike Databases where data is brought to the query engine) The purpose of this assignment is to apply, analyze, and synthesize some major course themes in the context of new information. Please place your paper as a single Word file. The phrase “Relevant course resources” refers to the assigned book, articles, videos, lecture notes, and ICAs; citing them as footnotes or in-text parenthetical citations is fine (in other words, you need not include a separate bibliography for course resources). You need not consult any other sources beyond what is specified below, but if you do want to incorporate external sources, you must cite them fully. Part 1: 150 points, 500-600 words: Read the following two editorials on de-extinction by two longstanding leading players in the U.S. environmental movement, Stewart Brand and Paul Ehrlich (along with his partner, Anne Ehrlich).1 Describe your own personal response to this contentious issue, and include supporting evidence from these editorials as well as at least 2 other relevant course resources to make your case. · Stewart Brand, “The Case for De-Extinction: Why We Should Bring Back the Woolly Mammoth,” Yale E360, Jan. 13, 2014, https://e360.yale.edu/features/the_case_for_de-extinction_why_we_should_bring_back_the_woolly_mammoth · Paul Ehrlich and Anne H.

1 GEOG 1301 RESEARCH PAPER: NATURAL REGIONS OF THE WORLD Each student will compare and contrast the physical geography of a pair of assigned natural regions (such as the Sahara Desert or the Himalayas, for example). The region pairs are listed below the assignment instructions. This writing assignment is designed to provide students with a more in-depth understanding of prominent physical geography features in the two assigned regions. Additionally, the assignment will provide a more thorough understanding of the human/nature interactions, environmental issues, and interconnectedness of various components of nature that take place within and around these regions. Due Date: See syllabus schedule. Late Penalty: As stated in syllabus. Format: The paper needs to be at least 5 full pages of writing total. It needs to all be turned in as one single essay, in paragraph form complete with introduction and conclusion paragraphs and a thesis statement. No more than 10% of this assignment should be quoted word-for-word (even if in quotation marks). See Page 3 for the list of questions to answer for the paper. Papers are to be double-spaced, 12-font (Calibri, Times New Roman, or Garamond) with 1-inch margins. No cover page is required. Have your name written at the top of the first page, with a title and page numbers. The intro paragraph needs to have a specific thesis statement that gives a brief-but-specific overview of your analysis of the material in its entirety (Tip: The thesis is best written AFTER doing all the research and writing in the body of your paper). The amount of writing on each of your two countries should be roughly equal in length. Any photographs, maps, tables, etc., need to be attached at the end of the paper only, and they do not count as part of the length of the paper. A cover page will not count towards the paper length. Writing about regions other than the ones assigned to you will result in a 30% reduction of your score. Grammar, Spelling: It is expected that these papers are free of excessive grammatical and spelling errors. Sources: Needed: At least 5 academic/scholarly sources. Use MLA, APA, or Chicago Manual of Style which you can Google to find websites with examples of these formats. Scholarly sources include: Journal articles from college library or college library website. Books from researchers (at college library). “Dot-gov” websites. Most encyclopedias Do not use Wikipedia in the paper, as that information will not count as part of the paper. Non-scholarly sources include: News articles, pop culture websites, magazines, or other forms of mass media. In-Text Citations and Bibliography: To avoid plagiarism, all sources MUST be cited in the body of your paper AND listed in a bibliography, otherwise you will receive a score of ZERO for the paper and potentially an F for the 2 entire course!

Delusional Disorders Pakistani hought Processes BACKGROUND The client is a 34-year-old Pakistani female who moved to the United States in her late teens/early 20s. She is currently in an “arranged” marriage (her husband was selected for her since she was 9 years old). She presents to your office today following a 21 day hospitalization for what was diagnosed as “brief psychotic disorder.” She was given this diagnosis as her symptoms have persisted for less than 1 month. Prior to admission, she was reporting visions of Allah, and over the course of a week, she believed that she was the prophet Mohammad. She believed that she would deliver the world from sin. Her husband became concerned about her behavior to the point that he was afraid of leaving their 4 children with her. One evening, she was “out of control” which resulted in his calling the police and her subsequent admission to an inpatient psych unit. During today’s assessment, she appears quite calm, and insists that the entire incident was “blown out of proportion.” She denies that she believed herself to be the prophet Mohammad and states that her husband was just out to get her because he never loved her and wanted an “American wife” instead of her. She tells you that she knows this because the television is telling her so. She currently weighs 140 lbs, and is 5’ 5” SUBJECTIVE Client reports that her mood is “good.” She denies auditory/visual hallucinations, but believes that the television does talk to her. She believes that Allah sends her messages through the TV. At times throughout the clinical interview, she becomes hostile towards the PMHNP, but then calms down. You reviewed her hospital records and find that she has been medically worked up by a physician who reported her to be in overall good health. Lab studies were all within normal limits. Client admits that she stopped taking her Risperdal about a week after she got out of the hospital because she thinks her husband is going to poison her so that he can marry an American woman. MENTAL STATUS EXAM The client is alert, oriented to person, place, time, and event. She is dressed appropriately for the weather and time of year. She demonstrates no noteworthy mannerisms, gestures, or tics. Her speech is slow and at times, interrupted by periods of silence. Self-reported mood is euthymic. Affect constricted. Although the client denies visual or auditory hallucinations, she appears to be “listening” to something. Delusional and paranoid thought processes as described, above. Insight and judgment are impaired. She is currently denying suicidal or homicidal ideation. The PMHNP administers the PANSS which reveals the following scores: -40 for the positive symptoms scale -20 for the negative symptom scale -60 for general psychopathology scale Diagnosis: Schizophrenia, paranoid type RESOURCES § Kay, S.

Deloitte’s 2020 Global Blockchain Survey From promise to reality DELOITTE BLOCKCHAIN At Deloitte, our people collaborate globally with clients, regulators, and policymakers on how blockchain and digital assets are changing the face of business and government today. New ecosystems are developing blockchain-based infrastructure and solutions to create innovative business models and disrupt traditional ones. This is occurring in every industry and in most jurisdictions globally. Our deep business acumen and global industry-leading audit, consulting, tax, risk, and financial advisory services help organizations across industries achieve their varying blockchain aspirations. Reach out to our leaders to discuss the evolving momentum of blockchain and digital assets, prioritizing initiatives, and managing the opportunities and pain points associated with blockchain adoption efforts. To learn more, let's talk. https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/pages/consulting/solutions/blockchain-solutions-and-services.html Introduction: The evolution of blockchain 2 A more “real” reality for blockchain 4 Digital assets today and tomorrow 9 Cybersecurity 13 Global digital identity 15 Regulatory considerations 17 Governance in blockchain consortia 19 Regional analysis 21 Concluding thoughts: The road taken 24 Appendix 25 Endnotes 36 Contents 2 Introduction: The evolution of blockchain MORE THAN A decade has passed since the introduction of what we know today as blockchain technology. Over that time, the promise of what the technology could offer businesses and industries has evolved from a cryptocurrency payment platform to something bigger, game-changing, and truly disruptive. In recent years, we have seen sentiment about blockchain’s potential similarly evolving, along with companies directing actual investment dollars toward applications. In Deloitte’s 2019 Global Blockchain Survey, we observed this continuing trend in thinking and investment, even if some vestiges of doubt and old-school thinking remained about the technology’s promise.1 This year’s survey suggests that those doubts are fading further, and that blockchain is solidly entrenched in the strategic thinking of organizations across industries, sectors, and applications. There are more substantive examples in the marketplace of how both startups and mature businesses are deploying blockchain. Organizations appear to be more committed than ever to blockchain and are demonstrating this by implementing it as part of their normal course of business. That’s the key takeaway from our 2020 Global Blockchain Survey, which finds that leaders no longer consider the technology groundbreaking and merely promising—they now see it as integral to organizational innovation. This year, the C-suite is putting money and resources behind blockchain as a strategic solution in more meaningful and tangible ways—in projects big and not so big— putting i.

Deliverable 5 - Hypothesis Tests for Two Samples Competency Formulate and evaluate hypothesis tests for population parameters based on sample statistics using both Critical Regions and P-Values, and be able to state results in a non-technical way that can be understood by consumers of the data instead of statisticians. Dealing with Two Populations Inferential statistics involves forming conclusions about a population parameter. We do so by constructing confidence intervals and testing claims about a population mean and other statistics. Typically, these methods deal with a sample from one population. We can extend the methods to situations involving two populations (and there are many such applications). This deliverable looks at two scenarios. Concept being Studied Your focus is on hypothesis tests and confidence intervals for two populations using two samples, some of which are independent and some of which are dependent. These concepts are an extension of hypothesis testing and confidence intervals which use statistics from one sample to make conclusions about population parameters. What to Submit Your research, calculations, and analysis should be presented on the spreadsheet provided.

Definition of Ethos and How to Use it 1. Trustworthiness Does your audience believe you are a good person who can be trusted to tell the truth? 2. Similarity Does the writer try to get the reader to identify with him or her? This can be done through language 3. Authority Does the writer have formal or informal authority? Does the writer try to relate to the reader? 4. Reputation What are the expertise the writer uses? How many does he use? What are their areas of authority? Logos: Logical reasoning, which has two bases: Deductive reasoning, and Inductive reasoning Deductive Reasoning Deductive reasoning generally start with one or more premises, and then comes to a conclusion from them. Premises can be facts, claims, evidence, or a previously proven conclusion. The key is that in a deductive argument, if the writer’s premises are true, then the conclusion must be true. 1. Education determines one’s class base. 2. One’s class base will shape one’s employment. 3. Therefore, education will determine one’s employment. Inductive Reasoning Inductive reasoning is similar in that it consists of premises, which lead to a conclusion. The difference is that the conclusion is not guaranteed to be true — we can only state it with some degree of confidence. For example, consider the following inductive argument: 5. All Six Minutes articles you have read in the past were insightful. (premise) 6. This is a Six Minutes article. (premise) Therefore, this article is insightful. (conclusion) How to Identify Logos Make it Understandable: Does the writer make the argument understandable? What tools does he or she use to do this? Make it Logical: Does the arguments make sense? Or does the writer require the reader to make an extreme leap of faith? How easy is it for the writer to make a connection to the argument? Make it Real: Does the writer make the argument real? Is the argument concrete or abstract? The language plain language: Does the writer use technical jargon or is a portion of language used for a specific reader that isn’t familiar with the reader? Does the writer use short words and phrases over long and convoluted counterparts? The language is explicit: Does the writer make his or her argument plain? What techniques does he or she use to establish explicit argument? The writer uses a couple premises, to establish his or her position? Are they relatable? Do they show relationship between them? “And these five advantages — capital costs, scheduling, inventory control, marketing, and employee satisfaction — together make this a winning proposal.” Trace sequences or processes in order. Does the writer jump around to different places or is there an order to his or her steps that create clarity or confusion for the reader? Use comparisons, analogies, and metaphors. Does the writer introduce new concepts, with an appropriate analogy which helps the audience understand the new concept in terms of how they already understand the old one?.

Definition Argument Essay Assignment Goal Write a 1,500-1,750-word essay using five to seven academic resources in which you argue that a contested “case” involving the sale, trade, or donation of human organs fits (or does not fit) within a given category. A case may include a specific news article, story, or incident illustrating a dilemma or controversy relating to the exchange of human organs. The case does not need to be a court case. Directions Follow these steps when composing your essay: 1. Start by selecting a controversial case found in the media involving the sale, trade, or donation of human organs. For example, an appropriate case might include a story in the news about an organ broker, and the term to define might be “criminal.” 2. Decide what category you think your case belongs in, with the understanding that others may disagree with you about the definition of your category, and/or whether your chosen case matches your category. 3. In the opening of your essay, introduce the case you will examine and pose your definition question. Do not simply summarize here. Instead, introduce the issue and offer context. 4. To support your argument, define the boundaries of your category (criteria) by using a commonly used definition or by developing your own extended definition. Defining your boundaries simply means naming the criteria by which you will discuss your chosen case involving the sale, trade, or donation of human organs. If you determine, for example, that an organ broker is a criminal, what criteria constitute this? A criminal may intentionally harm others, which could be one of your criteria. 5. In the second part of your argument (the match), show how your case meets (or does not meet) your definition criteria. Perhaps by comparing or sizing up your controversial case to other cases can help you to develop your argument. This essay is NOT simply a persuasive essay on the sale, trade, or donation of human organs. It is an argumentative essay where the writer explains what a term means and uses a specific case to explore the meaning of that term in depth. First Draft Grading · You will receive completion points for the first draft based upon the successful submission of a complete draft. · Because your first draft is a completion grade, do not assume that this grade reflects or predicts the final grade. If you do not consider your instructor’s comments, you may be deducted points on your final draft. Final Draft Grading The essay will be graded using a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the assignment criteria and expectations. Sources · Include in-text citations and a references page in GCU Style for FIVE to SEVEN scholarly sources outside of class texts. · These sources should be used to support any claims you make and should be present in the text of the essay. · Use the GCU Library to help you find sources. · Include this research in the paper i.

Defining Privacy in Employee Health Screening Cases: Ethical Ramifications Concerning the Employee/Employer Relationship V Michele Simms ABSTRACT. Issues of privacy and employee health screening rank as two of the most important ethical concerns organizations will face in the next five years. Despite the increasing numbers of social scientists researching personal privacy and the current focus on workplace privacy rights as one of the most dynamic areas of employment law, the concept of privacy remains relatively ahstract. Understand- ing how the courts defme privacy and use the expectation of privacy standards is paramount given the strategic importance of the law as a legal socializing agent. This article reports on two federal court decisions involving employer drug and HIV testing whose determinations relied on assumptions about the psychological dimensions of privacy. How the courts define privacy, the outcome of this definition and the ethical ramifications as it affects the employee/ employer relationship are discussed. Introduction Each year American companies require employees to submit to millions of blood and urine tests, x-rays, and other medical and laboratory procedures. "In fact, with the exception of typing and similar skills tests for office and clerical employees, medical screening is the most widely used pre-employment test in all major employment categories" (BNA, 1987). It is predicted that in the next five years testing will become a standard requirement when applying for employment and/or health and life insurance (Rothstein, 1989). Michele Simms, as an adjunct professor of business communication and organizational behavior, has taught at the University of Michigan, Wayne State University and Oakland University schools of business in Michigan. In addition to teaching, she consults in the areas of worksite wellness, alternative dispute resolution, transition management and change. One factor contributing to the increase in employee health screening is the development of drug abuse and AIDS as socially compelling public health concerns (Falco and Cikins, 1989) that are costly to employers, thus leading to an increase and/or initia- tion of drug and HIV testing in both private and public sector employment. One concern associated with health screening is the issue of privacy and the parallel communication activity of self-disclosure that is used to express and maintain privacy states. The issues of privacy and testing involve the fundamental conflict of ethical principles between individual rights and public safety needs and are the subject today of increasing legislative and judicial activity. A peripheral ethical concern that has not been addressed but of equal importance is whether the psychological dimensions of privacy are ac- knowledged in court decisions involving employer health screening practices. Traditionally lawyers and judges Htigate and decide cases based upon principles of legal positivi.
