Chapter 1 IntroductionIntroductionIn this section, present.docxketurahhazelhurst
Chapter 1 Introduction
Introduction
In this section, present enough information about the proposed work such that the reader understands the general context or setting. It is also helpful to include a summary of how the rest of this document is organized.
Problem Statement
In this section, present a concise statement of a research-worthy problem addressed (i.e., why the work should be undertaken – don’t say required for the class). Follow the statement of the problem with a well-supported discussion of its scope and nature. The discussion of the problem should include: what the problem is, why it is a problem, how the problem evolved or developed, and the issues and events leading to the problem.
Goal
Next, include a concise definition of the goal of the work (i.e., what the work will accomplish).
Aim to define a goal that is measurable.
Research Questions
Research questions are developed to help guide the authors through the literature for a given problem area. What were the open-ended questions asked and why did the student find (or not find) them adequate.
Relevance and Significance
The student should consider the following questions as they read through an article stating how the author(s) supported, or left unsupported the evidence, relevance, and significance of their research literature:
Why is there a problem? What groups or individuals are affected?
How far-ranging is the problem and how great is its impact? What’s the benefit of solving the problem?
What has been tried without success to correct the situation? Why weren’t those attempts successful? What are the consequences of not solving the problem?
How does the goal of the study address the research problem and how will the proposed study offer promise as a resolution to the problem?
How will the research add to the knowledge base?
What is the potential for generalization of the results?
What is the potential for original work?
Barriers and Issues
In these paragraphs, identify how the problem is inherently difficult to solve. How did the solution the author(s) propose address the difficulties?
Chapter 2 Literature Review
In this section, it is important to clearly identify the major areas on which the student will need to focus the student research in order to build a solid foundation for the study in the existing body of knowledge. The literature review is the presentation of quality literature in a particular field that serves as the foundation and justification for the research problem, research questions or hypothesis, and methodology. The student will develop a more comprehensive review of the literature as part of the research.
Chapter 3 Approach/Methodology
This chapter includes a summary of how the student is going to proceed with the evaluation of the problem statement and associated research question(s). Given the short time of this course, a compare / contrast or advantage / disadvantage analysis is recommended

20 Other Conditions That May Be a Focus of Clinical Attention
V-codes and z-codes
V-codes and Z-codes are conditions that may be the focus of clinical attention but are not considered mental disorders. They correspond to International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification ICD-9-CM (V-codes) and International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification ICD-10-CM (Z-codes that become effective in 2015. In most instances, third-party payers do not cover charges for delivering services to an individual if the diagnosis is solely a V- or Z-code alone. If the V- or Z-code is not the primary diagnosis then it should be documented following the primary diagnosis. In addition, when writing the psychosocial assessment any psychosocial and cultural factors that might impact the client's diagnosis should be documented. The psychosocial stressors reflected in these diagnoses are widespread across all classes and cultures and have been shown to impact all aspects of an individual's life from the physical and psychological to the financial. Furthermore, these conditions have been shown to significantly impact the diagnosis and outcome for a multitude of mental and medical disorders. V- and Z-codes are grouped into numerous categories including: relational problems, problems related to abuse/neglect, educational and occupational problems, housing and economic problems, problems related to the social environment, problems related to the legal system, other counseling services, other psychosocial, personal and environmental problems, and problems of personal history (APA, 2013).
Broadly speaking, the category “Relational Problems” describes interactional problems between family members (e.g., parent/caregiver-child) or partners that result in significant impairment of family functioning or development of symptoms in the distressed individual, spouses, siblings, or other family members. Relational problems are broken down into two categories, Problems Related to Family Upbringing and Other Problems Related to Primary Support Group. For example, in the first category a Parent-Child Relational Problem involves interactional problems between one or both parents and a child that lead to dysfunction in behavioral (e.g., inadequate protection, overprotection), cognitive (e.g., antagonism toward or blaming of the other) or affective (e.g., feeling sad and angry) realms. Here, the critical factor is the quality of the parent-child relationship or when the dysfunction in this relationship is impacting the course and outcome of a psychological or medical condition. Other examples include Sibling Relational Problem, Upbringing Away from Parents, and Child Affected by Parental Relationship Distress. Similarly, family relationships and interactional patterns leading to problems related to primary support group include Partner Relational Problem, Disruption of Family by Separation/Divorce, High Expressed Emotion Level with.

Case 53
Problems in Pasta Land
by
Andres Sousa-Poza
Old Dominion University
The Food Factory has been operating in an underdeveloped country for approximately 10
years.1 Its parent corporation specializes in wheat milling, and it started the pasta factory as a
“side-line” operation to process lower quality wheat flour, which is a by-product of the
normal milling process. This low-gluten flour is generally not suitable for the production of
bread or for direct sale to consumers.
In 2009, the pasta division is confronted with a major problem. It is too successful!
The factory was designed around the mill. Production capacities matched the amount of
effluent from the mill rather than coming from a sound marketing strategy. As shown in
Table 53-1, by 2006, the pasta plant was no longer able to effectively serve existing
customers. The plant that was designed to produce 600 tons of pasta per month on two
production lines is now facing average monthly orders of approximately 800 tons.
Furthermore, the corporate director of marketing estimates that orders could easily be
increased to 1400 to 1800 tons per month.
1 All monies used in this case are in the local currency, which is one of the more than 40 countries in
the world that use the $ symbol and most of which are called dollars.

Another challenge facing the factory is that the initial equipment was refurbished, not
new, and it is now antiquated and seriously dilapidated. Unless the plant is shut down,
equipment replacement is going to be required. The existing equipment was already a
technological generation behind when it was bought. During the last 10 years a new
generation of equipment has been developed based on high-temperature drying. The new
technology is much more suited for use with low-quality (low-gluten) flour and semolina.
New machinery is significantly more efficient. It requires fewer workers, has lower relative
energy consumption, and produces less waste. The pasta plant still maintains a price lead
through the low cost at which it is able to obtain raw materials from the corporate wheat mill,
but this barely compensates for the plant’s low efficiency.
The new technology is also enabling competitors to use low-quality, low-cost raw
materials and still produce a reasonably high-quality end product. Ultimately, this means that
the cost of higher quality pasta has dropped significantly in price, and the quality of the low-
cost pasta is increasing significantly. The pasta factory’s market is customers wit.

22-6 | Reporting the Plight of Depression Families
MARTHA GELLHORN, Field Report to Harry Hopkins (1934)
1. From Martha Gellhorn to Harry Hopkins, Report, Gaston County, North Carolina, November 11, 1934, Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, Harry Hopkins Papers, Box 66. Online transcript available at http://newdeal.feri.org/hopkins/hop08.htm.
Journalist and novelist Martha Gellhorn’s heartrending field report describing impoverished Gastonia, North Carolina, families vividly captures the desperate hope of depression-era families. Hired by Harry Hopkins, Franklin Roosevelt’s point man for federal relief efforts, Gellhorn detailed the enormous challenge facing the administration. Compounding the epic humanitarian crisis she encountered was the political opposition, which she singled out as one among many obstacles hampering relief efforts.
All during this trip [to North Carolina] I have been thinking to myself about that curious phrase “red menace,” and wondering where said menace hid itself. Every house I visited — mill worker or unemployed — had a picture of the President. These ranged from newspaper clippings (in destitute homes) to large colored prints, framed in gilt cardboard. The portrait holds the place of honour over the mantel. . . . He is at once God and their intimate friend; he knows them all by name, knows their little town and mill, their little lives and problems. And, though everything else fails, he is there, and will not let them down.
I have been seeing people who, according to almost any standard, have practically nothing in life and practically nothing to look forward to or hope for. But there is hope; confidence, something intangible and real: “the president isn’t going to forget us.”
Let me cite cases: I went to see a woman with five children who was living on relief ($3.40 a week). Her picture of the President was a small one, and she told me her oldest daughter had been married some months ago and had cried for the big, coloured picture as a wedding present. The children have no shoes and that woman is terrified of the coming cold as if it were a definite physical entity. There is practically no furniture left in the home, and you can imagine what and how they eat. But she said, suddenly brightening, “I’d give my heart to see the President. I know he means to do everything he can for us; but they make it hard for him; they won’t let him.” I note this case as something special; because here the faith was coupled with a feeling (entirely sympathetic) that the President was not entirely omnipotent.
I have been seeing mill workers; and in every mill when possible, the local Union president. There has been widespread discrimination in the south; and many mills haven’t re-opened since the strike. Those open often run on such curtailment that workers are getting from 2 to 3 days work a week. The price of food has risen (especially the kind of food they eat: fat-back bacon, flour, meal, sorghum) as high as 100%. It is getting cold;.

Abstract - The Vietnamese government have plan to develop the
wind farms with the expected capacity of 6 GW by 2030. With the
high penetration of wind power into power system, wind power
forecasting is essentially needed for a power generation
balancing in power system operation and electricity market.
However, such a tool is currently not available in Vietnamese
wind farms as well as electricity market. Therefore, a short-term
wind power forecasting tool for 24 hours has been created to fill
in this gap, using artificial neural network technique. The neural
network has been trained with past data recorded from 2015 to
2017 at Tuy Phong wind farm in Binh Thuan province of Viet
Nam. It has been tested for wind power prediction with the input
data from hourly weather forecast for the same wind farm. The
tool can be used for short-term wind power forecasting in
Vietnamese power system in a foreseeable future.
Keywords: power system; wind farm; wind power forecasting;
neural network; electricity market.
I. NECESITY OF WIND POWER FORECASTING
Today, the integration of wind power into the existing
grid is a big issue in power system operation. For the system
operators, power generation curve of wind turbines is a
necessary information in the power sources balancing. From
the dispatchers’ point of view, wind power forecast errors
will impact the system net imbalances when the share of
wind power increases, and more accurate forecasts mean less
regulating capacity will be activated from the real time
electricity market [1]. In the deregulated market, day-ahead
electricity spot prices are also affected by day-ahead wind
power forecasting [2]. Wind power forecasting is also
essential in reducing the power curtailment, supporting the
ancillary service. However, due to uncertainty of wind speed
and weather factors, the wind power is not easy to predict.
In recent years, many wind power forecasting methods
have been proposed. In [3], a review of different approaches
for short-term wind power forecasting has been introduced,
including statistical and physical methods with different
models such as WPMS, WPPT, Prediktor, Zephyr, WPFS,
ANEMOS, ARMINES, Ewind, Sipreolico. In [4], [5], the
methods, models of wind power forecasting and its impact on

Abstract — Personal Data Protection has been among the most
discussed topics lately and a reason for great concern among
organizations. The EU General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR) is the most important change in data privacy regulation
in 20 years. The regulation will fundamentally reshape the way in
which data is handled across every sector. The organizations had
two years to implement it. As referred by many authors, the
implementation of the regulation has not been an easy task for
companies. The question we aim to answer in this study is how far
the implementation of ISO 27001 standards might represent a
facilitating factor to organizations for an easier compliance with
the regulation. In order to answer this question, several websites
(mostly of consulting companies) were analyzed, and the aspects
considered as facilitating are listed in this paper.
Keywords - regulation (EU) 2016/679; general data protection
regulation; ISO/IEC 27001.
I. INTRODUCTION
In recent years, data protection has become a forefront issue
in cyber security. The issues introduced by recurring
organizational data breaches, social media and the Internet of
Things (IoT) have raised the stakes even further [1, 2]. The EU
GDPR, enforced from May 25 2018, is an attempt to address
such data protection. The GDPR makes for stronger, unified data
protection throughout the EU.
The EU GDPR states that organizations must adopt
appropriate policies, procedures and processes to protect the
personal data they hold.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 27000 series
is a set of information security standards that provide best-
practice recommendations for information security management
[3].
This international standard for information security, ISO
27001, provides an excellent starting point for achieving the
technical and operational requirements necessary to reduce the
risk of a breach.
Not all data is protected by the GDPR, since it is only
applicable to personal data. This is defined in Article 4 as
follows [4]:
“personal data” means any information relating to an
identified or identifiable natural person (’data subject’); an
identifiable.

Introduction: The foreclosure process can differ for deeds
versus mortgages. You will conduct research to determine
these differences since it is not only covered in the real estate
exam, but it is important to know this process in professional
practice.
Scenario: Henri and Lila own a restaurant which the
government has caused to close due to widening the road in
front of their establishment. Since this is the main source of
their income, and has caused Lila and Henri to stop payments
on their mortgage, address the following questions.
Checklist:
Explain the action that Henri and Lila should expect from the
bank regarding their property.
Describe how the banks actions would differ if it was a deed of
trust rather than a mortgage.

Week 2 Discussion: Hamilton Depression Rating Scale
COLLAPSE
Top of Form
Depression or Major Depressive Disorder is considered as a mental health disorder that negatively impacts how an individual feel, think and behave. Individuals who suffer from depression exhibit feelings of sadness and loss in interest in once enjoyed activities (Parekh. 2017). It can cause different kinds of emotional and physical problems and can minimize an individual’s ability to be functional in their daily routines. Annually, approximately 6.7% of adults are impacted by depression. It is estimated that 16.6% of individuals will experience depression at some time in their life (Parekh. 2017). Depression is said to manifest at any time, but on average, the first manifestation occurs during the late teens to mid-20s. The female population is susceptible to experience depression than the male population. Some research indicated that one-third of the female population would experience a major depressive episode in their lifetime (Parekh. 2017).
Among all the mental disorders, depression is one of the most treatable. It is estimated that between 80-90 % of individuals suffering from depression respond well to treatment and experienced remission of their symptoms (Parekh. 2017). As a mental health professional, prior to deciphering diagnosis and initiating diagnosis, it is paramount to conduct a complete diagnostic evaluation, which includes an interview and, if necessary, a physical examination (Parekh. 2017). Blood tests can be conducted to ascertain that depression is not precipitated by a medical condition like thyroid dysfunction. The evaluation is to identify specific symptoms, medical and family history, cultural factors, and environmental factors to derive a diagnosis and establish a treatment plan (Parekh. 2017). One of the assessment tools for depression is the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. In this discussion, I will be discussing the psychometric properties of the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and elaborate on when it is appropriate to utilize this assessment tool with clients, including whether the tool can be utilized to evaluate the efficacy of psychopharmacologic medications.
The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) was introduced in early 1960. It has been considered as a gold standard in depression studies and a preferred scale in the evaluation of depression treatment. It is the most vastly utilized observer-rated depression scale worldwide (Vindbjerg.et.al., 2019). The HDRS was initially created to measure symptoms severity in depressed inpatient; however, the 17-item HAM-D has advanced in over five decades into 11 modified versions that have been administered to various patient populations in an array of psychiatric, medical, and other research settings (Rohan.et.al., 2016). There are two most common versions with either 17 or 21 items and is scored between 0-4 points. Each item assists mental health professionals or c.

Technet Case Study for Virtualization
Technet is a hypothetical business in the storage manufacturing industry. This paper intend to elaborate the server virtualization concept using Microsoft
virtualization software from Windows server 2012R2. Organization’s Preparedness for Virtualization. As of now, the IT system design is a mishmash of old
frameworks that were obtained through various acquisitions of different providers in the storage industry. In any case, these old frameworks are aging and will soon
need to be upgraded. Generally, these old frameworks support applications that have been in service for about 10 years. The IT system situated in one of Technet
branch in Asia for instance comprise of old servers that have been in service for the last 5 years. These old servers were launched to support production and
productivity applications. The expense for permit of these old applications are presently being inspected to check whether they can be dropped and the
information moved to current Technet Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications. Consequently, since several IT related components are potential
contender for upgrading, this makes the likelihood of changing over current physical server farms into virtualized computing resources appropriate. Microsoft
Licensing of Virtualized Environments
Datacenter and the Standard edition are the two license version for Windows Server 2012R2 offered by Microsoft. There is likewise a free version called
Hyper-V Server which is an independent system that only contains the Windows hypervisor, a driver model as well as virtualization modules. Every window
version underpins Hyper-V, which is Microsoft's Type-1 hypervisor offering, likewise referred to as a bare-metal installation, and each Hyper-V server is known as a
Host (Portnoy, 2012). The Windows Server.

Sourcing
After 13 years, Kellwood, an American apparel maker, ended its soups!to!nuts IS outsourcing
arrangement with EDS . The primary focus of the original outsourcing contract was to integrate
12 individually acquired units with different systems into one system. Kellwood had been satis-
" ed enough with EDS ’ s performance to renegotiate the contract in 2002 and 2008, even though
at each renegotiation point, Kellwood had considered bringing the IS operations back in house,
or backsourcing. The 2008 contract iteration resulted in a more # exible $105 million contract that
EDS estimated would save Kellwood $2 million in the " rst year and $9 million over the remaining
contract years. But the situation at Kellwood had changed drastically. In 2008, Kellwood had been
purchased by Sun Capital Partners and taken private. The chief operating of" cer (COO), who was
facing a mountain of debt and possibly bankruptcy, wanted to consolidate and bring the operations
back in house to give some order to the current situation and reduce costs. Kellwood was suffering
from a lack of IS standardization as a result of its many acquisitions. The chief information of" cer
(CIO) recognized the importance of IS standardization and costs, but she was concerned that the
transition from outsourcing to insourcing would cause serious disruption to IS service levels and
project deadlines if it went poorly. Kellwood hired a third!party consultant to help it explore the
issues and decided that backsourcing would save money and respond to changes caused by both the
market and internal forces. Kellwood decided to backsource and started the process in late 2009. It
carefully planned for the transition, and the implementation went smoothly. By performing stream-
lined operations in house, it was able to report an impressive $3.6 million savings, or about 17% of
annual IS expenses after the " rst year. 1
The Kellwood case demonstrates a series of decisions made in relation to sourcing. Both the
decision to outsource IS operations and then to bring them back in house were based on a series of
This chapter is organized around decisions in the Sourcing Decision Cycle. The ! rst question
regarding information systems (IS) in the cycle relates to the decision to make (insource) or
buy (outsource) them. This chapter ’ s focus is on issues related to outsourcing whereas issues
related to insourcing are discussed in other chapters of this book. Discussed are the critical
decisions in the Sourcing Decision Cycle: how and where (cloud computing, onshoring,
offshoring). When the choice is offshoring, the next decision is where abroad (farshoring,
nearshoring, or captive centers). Explored next in this chapter is the ! nal decision in the
cycle, keep as is or change in which case the current arrangements are assessed and modi-

The Digestive System
– Food nourishes the body by providing energy for
activity
– Digestion begins in the mouth
• Salivary glands provide moisture that allows food to
have taste
• Importance of good mastication
The Digestive System
The Digestive System
– Food is swallowed and then moves through the
pharynx and esophagus
– Peristalsis moves food through the digestive
system
– In the stomach, food is mixed with gastric juices
so it can be absorbed by the small intestine
– Most nutrients are digested in the small intestine
– Digestion process is complete when waste is
eliminated

Factors in Weight Maintenance
– Stable weight occurs when calories eaten equal those
expended for body metabolism and physical exercise
[OLD THINKING]
– Complicated interplay of nutrients, hormones, and
inflammation
• Metabolic rates differ from person to person
• Ghrelin, a hormone, stimulates appetite
• Leptin, a protein, signals satiation and fat storage
• Insulin, a hormone produced in pancreas
– unlocks cells for glucose use for energy
– cues hypothalamus for satiation and decreased appetite
Factors in Weight Maintenance
What is obesity?
– Overeating is not the sole cause of obesity
– Various methods to assess body fat
• Skin-fold technique
• Percentage body fat
• Body mass index (BMI)
– Can also be thought of in terms of social and
cultural standards
– ideal body = thinner in past 50 years

2020/2/21 Critical Review #2 - WebCOM™ 2.0
https://smc.grtep.com/index.cfm/smcc/page/2criticalreviews 2/10
1. Every essay that you write for this course must have a clear thesis, placed
(perhaps) somewhere near the end of the introductory paragraph. Simply
stated, a THESIS (or ARGUMENT) expresses, preferably in a single sentence,
the point you want to make about the text that is the subject of your essay. A
THESIS should be an opinion or interpretation of the text, not merely a fact or
observation. The best possible THESIS will answer some speci�c questions
about the text. Very often the THESIS contains an outline of the major points
to be covered in the essay. A possible thesis for an essay on character in
Perry Henzell’s The Harder They Come might read somewhat as follows:
The protagonist of THTC is not a hero in the epic sense of the word, but a
self-centered young man bred of economic oppression and cultural
dependency. The characters in this �lm have no real psychological depth, but
are markers for a society of consumption and momentary glory.
(You might then go on to exemplify from the text and argue in favor or
against this interpretation: your essay need not hold to only one perspective.)
What single, clear QUESTION does the above THESIS attempt to answer?
2. Each essay should be organized into �ve (5) paragraphs, each based on one
of two to four major ideas, which will comprise the BODY of the essay. Each
paragraph must have a topic sentence, often (but not always) towards the
beginning of the paragraph, which clearly states the ARGUMENT or point to
be made in the paragraph. Following the thesis set forth.

20 Other Conditions That May Be a Focus of Clinical Attention
V-codes and z-codes
V-codes and Z-codes are conditions that may be the focus of clinical attention but are not considered mental disorders. They correspond to International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification ICD-9-CM (V-codes) and International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification ICD-10-CM (Z-codes that become effective in 2015. In most instances, third-party payers do not cover charges for delivering services to an individual if the diagnosis is solely a V- or Z-code alone. If the V- or Z-code is not the primary diagnosis then it should be documented following the primary diagnosis. In addition, when writing the psychosocial assessment any psychosocial and cultural factors that might impact the client's diagnosis should be documented. The psychosocial stressors reflected in these diagnoses are widespread across all classes and cultures and have been shown to impact all aspects of an individual's life from the physical and psychological to the financial. Furthermore, these conditions have been shown to significantly impact the diagnosis and outcome for a multitude of mental and medical disorders. V- and Z-codes are grouped into numerous categories including: relational problems, problems related to abuse/neglect, educational and occupational problems, housing and economic problems, problems related to the social environment, problems related to the legal system, other counseling services, other psychosocial, personal and environmental problems, and problems of personal history (APA, 2013).
Broadly speaking, the category “Relational Problems” describes interactional problems between family members (e.g., parent/caregiver-child) or partners that result in significant impairment of family functioning or development of symptoms in the distressed individual, spouses, siblings, or other family members. Relational problems are broken down into two categories, Problems Related to Family Upbringing and Other Problems Related to Primary Support Group. For example, in the first category a Parent-Child Relational Problem involves interactional problems between one or both parents and a child that lead to dysfunction in behavioral (e.g., inadequate protection, overprotection), cognitive (e.g., antagonism toward or blaming of the other) or affective (e.g., feeling sad and angry) realms. Here, the critical factor is the quality of the parent-child relationship or when the dysfunction in this relationship is impacting the course and outcome of a psychological or medical condition. Other examples include Sibling Relational Problem, Upbringing Away from Parents, and Child Affected by Parental Relationship Distress. Similarly, family relationships and interactional patterns leading to problems related to primary support group include Partner Relational Problem, Disruption of Family by Separation/Divorce, High Expressed Emotion Level with.

Case 53
Problems in Pasta Land
by
Andres Sousa-Poza
Old Dominion University
The Food Factory has been operating in an underdeveloped country for approximately 10
years.1 Its parent corporation specializes in wheat milling, and it started the pasta factory as a
“side-line” operation to process lower quality wheat flour, which is a by-product of the
normal milling process. This low-gluten flour is generally not suitable for the production of
bread or for direct sale to consumers.
In 2009, the pasta division is confronted with a major problem. It is too successful!
The factory was designed around the mill. Production capacities matched the amount of
effluent from the mill rather than coming from a sound marketing strategy. As shown in
Table 53-1, by 2006, the pasta plant was no longer able to effectively serve existing
customers. The plant that was designed to produce 600 tons of pasta per month on two
production lines is now facing average monthly orders of approximately 800 tons.
Furthermore, the corporate director of marketing estimates that orders could easily be
increased to 1400 to 1800 tons per month.
1 All monies used in this case are in the local currency, which is one of the more than 40 countries in
the world that use the $ symbol and most of which are called dollars.

Another challenge facing the factory is that the initial equipment was refurbished, not
new, and it is now antiquated and seriously dilapidated. Unless the plant is shut down,
equipment replacement is going to be required. The existing equipment was already a
technological generation behind when it was bought. During the last 10 years a new
generation of equipment has been developed based on high-temperature drying. The new
technology is much more suited for use with low-quality (low-gluten) flour and semolina.
New machinery is significantly more efficient. It requires fewer workers, has lower relative
energy consumption, and produces less waste. The pasta plant still maintains a price lead
through the low cost at which it is able to obtain raw materials from the corporate wheat mill,
but this barely compensates for the plant’s low efficiency.
The new technology is also enabling competitors to use low-quality, low-cost raw
materials and still produce a reasonably high-quality end product. Ultimately, this means that
the cost of higher quality pasta has dropped significantly in price, and the quality of the low-
cost pasta is increasing significantly. The pasta factory’s market is customers wit.

The aim of this technique is to predict the future of the project such as what would be the customer reaction on project, financial need, etc. In developing predictive analytical application, a number of techniques are used such as classification algorithms. The classification techniques are logistic regression, decision tree models and neural network. Clustering algorithms are used to segment customers in different groups which helps to target specific promotions to them. To estimate the relationship between different purchasing behavior, association mining technique is used (Mehra, 2014). As an example, for any product on Amazon.com results in the retailer also suggesting similar products that a customer might be interested in. Predictive analytics can be used in E-commerce to solve the following problems
1. Improve customer engagement and increase revenue

22-6 | Reporting the Plight of Depression Families
MARTHA GELLHORN, Field Report to Harry Hopkins (1934)
1. From Martha Gellhorn to Harry Hopkins, Report, Gaston County, North Carolina, November 11, 1934, Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, Harry Hopkins Papers, Box 66. Online transcript available at http://newdeal.feri.org/hopkins/hop08.htm.
Journalist and novelist Martha Gellhorn’s heartrending field report describing impoverished Gastonia, North Carolina, families vividly captures the desperate hope of depression-era families. Hired by Harry Hopkins, Franklin Roosevelt’s point man for federal relief efforts, Gellhorn detailed the enormous challenge facing the administration. Compounding the epic humanitarian crisis she encountered was the political opposition, which she singled out as one among many obstacles hampering relief efforts.
All during this trip [to North Carolina] I have been thinking to myself about that curious phrase “red menace,” and wondering where said menace hid itself. Every house I visited — mill worker or unemployed — had a picture of the President. These ranged from newspaper clippings (in destitute homes) to large colored prints, framed in gilt cardboard. The portrait holds the place of honour over the mantel. . . . He is at once God and their intimate friend; he knows them all by name, knows their little town and mill, their little lives and problems. And, though everything else fails, he is there, and will not let them down.
I have been seeing people who, according to almost any standard, have practically nothing in life and practically nothing to look forward to or hope for. But there is hope; confidence, something intangible and real: “the president isn’t going to forget us.”
Let me cite cases: I went to see a woman with five children who was living on relief ($3.40 a week). Her picture of the President was a small one, and she told me her oldest daughter had been married some months ago and had cried for the big, coloured picture as a wedding present. The children have no shoes and that woman is terrified of the coming cold as if it were a definite physical entity. There is practically no furniture left in the home, and you can imagine what and how they eat. But she said, suddenly brightening, “I’d give my heart to see the President. I know he means to do everything he can for us; but they make it hard for him; they won’t let him.” I note this case as something special; because here the faith was coupled with a feeling (entirely sympathetic) that the President was not entirely omnipotent.
I have been seeing mill workers; and in every mill when possible, the local Union president. There has been widespread discrimination in the south; and many mills haven’t re-opened since the strike. Those open often run on such curtailment that workers are getting from 2 to 3 days work a week. The price of food has risen (especially the kind of food they eat: fat-back bacon, flour, meal, sorghum) as high as 100%. It is getting cold;.

Abstract - The Vietnamese government have plan to develop the
wind farms with the expected capacity of 6 GW by 2030. With the
high penetration of wind power into power system, wind power
forecasting is essentially needed for a power generation
balancing in power system operation and electricity market.
However, such a tool is currently not available in Vietnamese
wind farms as well as electricity market. Therefore, a short-term
wind power forecasting tool for 24 hours has been created to fill
in this gap, using artificial neural network technique. The neural
network has been trained with past data recorded from 2015 to
2017 at Tuy Phong wind farm in Binh Thuan province of Viet
Nam. It has been tested for wind power prediction with the input
data from hourly weather forecast for the same wind farm. The
tool can be used for short-term wind power forecasting in
Vietnamese power system in a foreseeable future.
Keywords: power system; wind farm; wind power forecasting;
neural network; electricity market.
I. NECESITY OF WIND POWER FORECASTING
Today, the integration of wind power into the existing
grid is a big issue in power system operation. For the system
operators, power generation curve of wind turbines is a
necessary information in the power sources balancing. From
the dispatchers’ point of view, wind power forecast errors
will impact the system net imbalances when the share of
wind power increases, and more accurate forecasts mean less
regulating capacity will be activated from the real time
electricity market [1]. In the deregulated market, day-ahead
electricity spot prices are also affected by day-ahead wind
power forecasting [2]. Wind power forecasting is also
essential in reducing the power curtailment, supporting the
ancillary service. However, due to uncertainty of wind speed
and weather factors, the wind power is not easy to predict.
In recent years, many wind power forecasting methods
have been proposed. In [3], a review of different approaches
for short-term wind power forecasting has been introduced,
including statistical and physical methods with different
models such as WPMS, WPPT, Prediktor, Zephyr, WPFS,
ANEMOS, ARMINES, Ewind, Sipreolico. In [4], [5], the
methods, models of wind power forecasting and its impact on

Abstract — Personal Data Protection has been among the most
discussed topics lately and a reason for great concern among
organizations. The EU General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR) is the most important change in data privacy regulation
in 20 years. The regulation will fundamentally reshape the way in
which data is handled across every sector. The organizations had
two years to implement it. As referred by many authors, the
implementation of the regulation has not been an easy task for
companies. The question we aim to answer in this study is how far
the implementation of ISO 27001 standards might represent a
facilitating factor to organizations for an easier compliance with
the regulation. In order to answer this question, several websites
(mostly of consulting companies) were analyzed, and the aspects
considered as facilitating are listed in this paper.
Keywords - regulation (EU) 2016/679; general data protection
regulation; ISO/IEC 27001.
I. INTRODUCTION
In recent years, data protection has become a forefront issue
in cyber security. The issues introduced by recurring
organizational data breaches, social media and the Internet of
Things (IoT) have raised the stakes even further [1, 2]. The EU
GDPR, enforced from May 25 2018, is an attempt to address
such data protection. The GDPR makes for stronger, unified data
protection throughout the EU.
The EU GDPR states that organizations must adopt
appropriate policies, procedures and processes to protect the
personal data they hold.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 27000 series
is a set of information security standards that provide best-
practice recommendations for information security management
[3].
This international standard for information security, ISO
27001, provides an excellent starting point for achieving the
technical and operational requirements necessary to reduce the
risk of a breach.
Not all data is protected by the GDPR, since it is only
applicable to personal data. This is defined in Article 4 as
follows [4]:
“personal data” means any information relating to an
identified or identifiable natural person (’data subject’); an
identifiable.

Trouble at 3Forks
Introduction: The foreclosure process can differ for deeds
versus mortgages. You will conduct research to determine
these differences since it is not only covered in the real estate
exam, but it is important to know this process in professional
practice.
Scenario: Henri and Lila own a restaurant which the
government has caused to close due to widening the road in
front of their establishment. Since this is the main source of
their income, and has caused Lila and Henri to stop payments
on their mortgage, address the following questions.
Checklist:
Explain the action that Henri and Lila should expect from the
bank regarding their property.
Describe how the banks actions would differ if it was a deed of
trust rather than a mortgage.
Respond in a minimum of 600–850-word essay with additional
title and reference pages using APA format and citation style.

Week 2 Discussion: Hamilton Depression Rating Scale
COLLAPSE
Top of Form
Depression or Major Depressive Disorder is considered as a mental health disorder that negatively impacts how an individual feel, think and behave. Individuals who suffer from depression exhibit feelings of sadness and loss in interest in once enjoyed activities (Parekh. 2017). It can cause different kinds of emotional and physical problems and can minimize an individual’s ability to be functional in their daily routines. Annually, approximately 6.7% of adults are impacted by depression. It is estimated that 16.6% of individuals will experience depression at some time in their life (Parekh. 2017). Depression is said to manifest at any time, but on average, the first manifestation occurs during the late teens to mid-20s. The female population is susceptible to experience depression than the male population. Some research indicated that one-third of the female population would experience a major depressive episode in their lifetime (Parekh. 2017).
Among all the mental disorders, depression is one of the most treatable. It is estimated that between 80-90 % of individuals suffering from depression respond well to treatment and experienced remission of their symptoms (Parekh. 2017). As a mental health professional, prior to deciphering diagnosis and initiating diagnosis, it is paramount to conduct a complete diagnostic evaluation, which includes an interview and, if necessary, a physical examination (Parekh. 2017). Blood tests can be conducted to ascertain that depression is not precipitated by a medical condition like thyroid dysfunction. The evaluation is to identify specific symptoms, medical and family history, cultural factors, and environmental factors to derive a diagnosis and establish a treatment plan (Parekh. 2017). One of the assessment tools for depression is the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. In this discussion, I will be discussing the psychometric properties of the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and elaborate on when it is appropriate to utilize this assessment tool with clients, including whether the tool can be utilized to evaluate the efficacy of psychopharmacologic medications.
The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) was introduced in early 1960. It has been considered as a gold standard in depression studies and a preferred scale in the evaluation of depression treatment. It is the most vastly utilized observer-rated depression scale worldwide (Vindbjerg.et.al., 2019). The HDRS was initially created to measure symptoms severity in depressed inpatient; however, the 17-item HAM-D has advanced in over five decades into 11 modified versions that have been administered to various patient populations in an array of psychiatric, medical, and other research settings (Rohan.et.al., 2016). There are two most common versions with either 17 or 21 items and is scored between 0-4 points. Each item assists mental health professionals or c.

Technet Case Study for Virtualization
Technet is a hypothetical business in the storage manufacturing industry. This paper intend to elaborate the server virtualization concept using Microsoft
virtualization software from Windows server 2012R2. Organization’s Preparedness for Virtualization. As of now, the IT system design is a mishmash of old
frameworks that were obtained through various acquisitions of different providers in the storage industry. In any case, these old frameworks are aging and will soon
need to be upgraded. Generally, these old frameworks support applications that have been in service for about 10 years. The IT system situated in one of Technet
branch in Asia for instance comprise of old servers that have been in service for the last 5 years. These old servers were launched to support production and
productivity applications. The expense for permit of these old applications are presently being inspected to check whether they can be dropped and the
information moved to current Technet Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications. Consequently, since several IT related components are potential
contender for upgrading, this makes the likelihood of changing over current physical server farms into virtualized computing resources appropriate. Microsoft
Licensing of Virtualized Environments
Datacenter and the Standard edition are the two license version for Windows Server 2012R2 offered by Microsoft. There is likewise a free version called
Hyper-V Server which is an independent system that only contains the Windows hypervisor, a driver model as well as virtualization modules. Every window
version underpins Hyper-V, which is Microsoft's Type-1 hypervisor offering, likewise referred to as a bare-metal installation, and each Hyper-V server is known as a
Host (Portnoy, 2012). The Windows Server.

Sourcing
After 13 years, Kellwood, an American apparel maker, ended its soups!to!nuts IS outsourcing
arrangement with EDS . The primary focus of the original outsourcing contract was to integrate
12 individually acquired units with different systems into one system. Kellwood had been satis-
" ed enough with EDS ’ s performance to renegotiate the contract in 2002 and 2008, even though
at each renegotiation point, Kellwood had considered bringing the IS operations back in house,
or backsourcing. The 2008 contract iteration resulted in a more # exible $105 million contract that
EDS estimated would save Kellwood $2 million in the " rst year and $9 million over the remaining
contract years. But the situation at Kellwood had changed drastically. In 2008, Kellwood had been
purchased by Sun Capital Partners and taken private. The chief operating of" cer (COO), who was
facing a mountain of debt and possibly bankruptcy, wanted to consolidate and bring the operations
back in house to give some order to the current situation and reduce costs. Kellwood was suffering
from a lack of IS standardization as a result of its many acquisitions. The chief information of" cer
(CIO) recognized the importance of IS standardization and costs, but she was concerned that the
transition from outsourcing to insourcing would cause serious disruption to IS service levels and
project deadlines if it went poorly. Kellwood hired a third!party consultant to help it explore the
issues and decided that backsourcing would save money and respond to changes caused by both the
market and internal forces. Kellwood decided to backsource and started the process in late 2009. It
carefully planned for the transition, and the implementation went smoothly. By performing stream-
lined operations in house, it was able to report an impressive $3.6 million savings, or about 17% of
annual IS expenses after the " rst year. 1
The Kellwood case demonstrates a series of decisions made in relation to sourcing. Both the
decision to outsource IS operations and then to bring them back in house were based on a series of
This chapter is organized around decisions in the Sourcing Decision Cycle. The ! rst question

related to insourcing are discussed in other chapters of this book. Discussed are the critical
decisions in the Sourcing Decision Cycle: how and where (cloud computing, onshoring,

Factors in Weight Maintenance
– Stable weight occurs when calories eaten equal those
expended for body metabolism and physical exercise
[OLD THINKING]
– Complicated interplay of nutrients, hormones, and
inflammation
• Metabolic rates differ from person to person
• Ghrelin, a hormone, stimulates appetite
• Leptin, a protein, signals satiation and fat storage
• Insulin, a hormone produced in pancreas
– unlocks cells for glucose use for energy
– cues hypothalamus for satiation and decreased appetite

What is obesity?
– Overeating is not the sole cause of obesity
– Various methods to assess body fat
• Skin-fold technique
• Percentage body fat
• Body mass index (BMI)

2020/2/21 Critical Review #2 - WebCOM™ 2.0
https://smc.grtep.com/index.cfm/smcc/page/2criticalreviews 2/10
1. Every essay that you write for this course must have a clear thesis, placed
(perhaps) somewhere near the end of the introductory paragraph. Simply
stated, a THESIS (or ARGUMENT) expresses, preferably in a single sentence,
the point you want to make about the text that is the subject of your essay. A
THESIS should be an opinion or interpretation of the text, not merely a fact or
observation. The best possible THESIS will answer some speci�c questions
about the text. Very often the THESIS contains an outline of the major points
to be covered in the essay. A possible thesis for an essay on character in
Perry Henzell’s The Harder They Come might read somewhat as follows:
The protagonist of THTC is not a hero in the epic sense of the word, but a
self-centered young man bred of economic oppression and cultural
dependency. The characters in this �lm have no real psychological depth, but
are markers for a society of consumption and momentary glory.
(You might then go on to exemplify from the text and argue in favor or
against this interpretation: your essay need not hold to only one perspective.)
What single, clear QUESTION does the above THESIS attempt to answer?
2. Each essay should be organized into �ve (5) paragraphs, each based on one
of two to four major ideas, which will comprise the BODY of the essay. Each
paragraph must have a topic sentence, often (but not always) towards the
beginning of the paragraph, which clearly states the ARGUMENT or point to
be made in the paragraph. Following the thesis set forth.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.

your paper will discuss. Much of your introduction may be
taken from the assignment instructions (in your own words).
Read all assignment resources to understand what should be
included in your paper. Be sure to review the assignment
instructions in Blackboard, the grading rubric, and relevant
course announcements to understand the requirements. Do not
exceed 6 lines of text in this introduction. There should be no
3. direct quotes in this section. After reading these instructions,
replace this blue text with your introduction and change the font
color to black.Business-Level Strategies
Analyze the business-level strategies for the corporation you
chose to determine the business-level strategy you think is most
important to the long-term success of the firm. You will also
need to determine whether or not you judge this to be a good
choice (Note: in this step you need to choose and write about
only one (1) business-level strategy from the text book (not
Google). Hint: See Figure 4.1 in the textbook. Include a
thorough justification for your choice that is backed by facts
and sound judgement. For background, be sure to research and
explain the industry in which your selected corporation
operates. You could also briefly (1 – 2 sentences) define the
business-level strategy (cite your sources) you are writing about
using the textbook/Learn, as an introduction to your analysis.
Read Chapter 4 in the course textbook. Review the Week 4
Learn Reading for supporting content. Your response here
should demonstrate that you understand the key concepts
regarding the selected business-level strategy and can apply
them to a real-world corporation. Keep in mind that this is a 6-
page paper and as such your analysis should thoroughly address
the concepts discussed in the course. Avoid unsubstantiated
statements, extended introductory commentary, direct quotes,
and unrelated content. Strive for about 1 ½ - 2 pages of well-
constructed, in-depth analysis in this section.
In this section, you could research and identify the core
competencies your chosen firm uses to implement its business-
level strategies and discuss their effectiveness. You could also
demonstrate from your research how the firm uses its core
competencies to create and sell its products in the marketplace.
Consider the actions & choices your firm has made to compete
in individual product markets. Review Chapters 4-9 for
specifics on the business-level strategies. Your response should
clearly identify the one business-level strategy from the
textbook that you think is most important to the long-term
4. success of the corporation. Your response must also include a
clearly stated and justified judgement on whether that strategy
is a good choice. Include enough content and depth to
demonstrate a thorough analysis of your selected corporation’s
business-level strategy. Remember that this is a 6-page paper
and as such, you will need to dig deep. After reading these
instructions, replace this blue text with your analysis and
change the font color to black. Corporate-Level Strategies
Analyze the corporate-level strategies for the corporation you
chose to determine the corporate-level strategy you think is
most important to the long-term success of the firm. You will
also need to determine whether or not you judge this to be a
good choice. (Note: in this step you need to choose and write
about only one (1) corporate-level strategy from the text book
(not Google). Hint: See chapter 6 in the textbook. Include a
thorough justification for your choice that is backed by facts
and sound judgement. You could also briefly (1 – 2 sentences)
define the corporate-level strategy (cite your sources) you are
writing about using the textbook/Learn, as an introduction to
your analysis. Read Chapter 6 in the course textbook. Review
the Week 6 Learn Reading for supporting content. Your
response here should demonstrate that you understand the key
concepts regarding the selected corporate-level strategy and can
apply them to a real-world corporation. Keep in mind that this
is a 6-page paper and as such your analysis should thoroughly
address the concepts discussed in the course. Avoid
unsubstantiated statements, extended introductory commentary,
direct quotes, and unrelated content. Strive for about 1 ½ - 2
pages of well-constructed, in-depth analysis in this section.
Your response should clearly identify the one corporate-level
strategy from the textbook that you think is most important to
the long-term success of the corporation. Your response must
also include a clearly stated and justified judgement on whether
that strategy is a good choice. Include enough content and depth
to demonstrate a thorough analysis of your selected
corporation’s corporate-level strategy. Remember that this is a
5. 6-page paper and as such, you will need to dig deep. After
reading these instructions, replace this blue text with your
analysis and change the font color to black. Competitive
Environment
Analyze the competitive environment to determine the
corporation's most significant competitor (this will require
research outside of the course material). Compare their
strategies at each level and evaluate which company you think
is most likely to be successful in the long term. Justify your
choice. Hint: read chapters 1 - 10 in the course textbook as they
provide a solid background for this section. Review the Week 1
- 8 Learn Readings for supporting content. Remember that this
is a 6-page paper and requires a thorough competitive analysis.
Strive for about a 1 ½ - 2 pages of well-constructed, in-depth
analysis in this section. Cite your sources and avoid the use of
direct quotes. After reading these instructions, replace this blue
text with your analysis and change the font color to
black.Market Cycles
Determine whether your choice from Question 3 (Competitive
Environment section above) would differ in slow-cycle and fast-
cycle markets. It would be a good idea to briefly explain what
the slow-cycle and fast-cycle markets are from the textbook
(cite your sources) as a short introduction to your
determination. Hint: read Chapter 5 in the course textbook.
Remember that this is a 6-page paper and therefore each section
requires a thorough response that demonstrates your
understanding of key concepts covered in the course and your
ability to apply them to a real-world corporation. Cite your
sources and avoid the use of direct quotes. After reading these
instructions, replace this blue text with your response and
change the font color to black.
