Bullzeye is a discount retailer offering a wide range of products,.docx
Bullzeye is a discount retailer offering a wide range of products, including: home goods, clothing, toys, and food. The company is a regional retailer with 10 brick-and-mortar stores as well as a popular online store. Due to the recent credit card data breaches of various prominent national retail companies (e.g., Target, Home Depot, Staples), the Bullzeye Board of Directors has taken particular interest in information security, especially as it pertains to the protection of credit cardholder data within the Bullzeye environment. The Board has asked executive management to evaluate and strengthen the enterprise’s information security infrastructure, where needed.
In order to respond to the Board regarding their preparedness for a cyber-security attack, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) has engaged your IT consulting firm to identify the inherent risks and recommend control remediation strategies to prevent or to detect and appropriately respond to data breaches. Your firm has been requested to liaison with the Internal Audit Department during the engagement. Your first step is to gain an understanding of Bullzeye’s IT environment. The Chief Audit Executive (CAE) schedules a meeting with key Bullzeye leadership personnel, including the CFO, Chief Information Officer (CIO), and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).
The following key information was obtained.
Background
IT Security Framework/Policy -
Bullzeye has an information security policy, which was developed by the CISO. The policy was developed in response to an internal audit conducted by an external firm hired by the CAE. The policy is not based on one specific IT control framework but considers elements contained within several frameworks. An information security committee has been recently formed to discuss new security risks and to develop mitigation strategies.
The meeting will be held monthly and include the CISO and other key IT Directors reporting to the CIO.
In addition, a training program was implemented last year in order to provide education on various information security topics (e.g., social engineering, malware, etc.). The program requires that all staff within the IT department complete an annual information security training webinar and corresponding quiz. The training program is complemented by a monthly e-mail sent to IT staff, which highlights relevant information security topics.
General IT Environment -
Most employees in the corporate office are assigned a standard desktop computer, although certain management personnel in the corporate and retail locations are issued a laptop if they can demonstrate their need to work remotely. The laptops are given a standard Microsoft Windows operating system image, which includes anti-malware/anti-virus software and patch update software among others. In addition, new laptops are now encrypted; however, desktops and existing laptops are not currently encrypted due to budget concerns. The user provisioning.

Boulding (1956) looked at the complexity of systems from a hierarc.docx
Boulding (1956) looked at the complexity of systems from a hierarchical approach or a system of systems perspective. Boulding’s hierarchy includes nine levels of systems: frameworks, clockworks, cybernetic systems, open systems, plants, animals, humans, social organizations, and transcendental. This was one of the first major papers on systems and is the foundation for more complex theories and models. You will continue to explore complex systems in the coming weeks.
To prepare
for this Discussion, review Boulding’s article, “General Systems Theory: The Skeleton of Science” and Von Bertalanffy’s article, “The History and Status of General Systems Theory.” Consider how Boulding’s hierarchy of systems may inform your understanding of organizations.
Post,
your perspective on the relationship between Boulding’s hierarchy of systems and Von Bertalanffy’s general systems theory. Then, explain how these theories have or have not changed your perceptions of a system. Finally, explain how Boulding’s hierarchy might inform leadership and management in organizations.

Brian’s story Brian is 65 years old and lives with his dog ‘Spider.docx
Brian’s story
Brian is 65 years old and lives with his dog ‘Spider’ in a town flat on the first floor of a block of units
in a government housing estate.
About a year ago Brian had to move to town from his home community because his increasing
health needs could not be readily met in his community. He misses his community, the close bonds
with family and friends back home and is worried about his family’s welfare in his absence.
Brian has been a smoker for 30 years. He smokes 20 cigarettes per day and has a history of
recurrent chest infections, hypertension, sleep apnoea and gout. He has a persistent cough that he
calls a ‘smoker’s cough’. Recently he has noticed his cough is getting worse and producing greenish
coloured sputum.
Over the last few days he has been finding it increasingly difficult to walk up stairs and to look after
himself. He now has to stop every few minutes to catch his breath and decided it was time to come
to the Emergency Department at the hospital where you are practicing.
On your shift today, the Emergency Nurse gives you the following handover as part of
Brian’s admission to the setting where you are practicing today as a registered nurse:
Brian presented to the Emergency Department because his respiratory function has been
deteriorating over the last few days. After medical review, his provisional medical diagnosis is an
acute chest infection exacerbating suspected chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He is being
admitted for treatment and further investigation of his respiratory function.
Brian’s current medications include allopurinol, cilazipril and metoprolol and in the emergency
department he has had first doses of ampicillin and a combination bronchodilator by metered dose
inhaler which are to continue until review. The doctor also ordered low flow oxygen via nasal
prongs, chest physio after the bronchodilator therapy and a high energy, high protein diet.
The Emergency nurse also tells you that Brian has reported he hasn’t had a shower for two days
because he gets “too puffed out’ and that he is very worried about his dog ‘Spider’ who has been left
locked up alone in his flat. He also is concerned that his family back in the community doesn’t know
that he’s not well and had come to hospital.
Your task in Assessment 1 is to critically discuss some of the key nursing issues related to
Brian’s care on your shift. Details of the specific nursing issues to address are identified on
the following pages.
Tasks
Based on Brian’s case and the information you have available, address the following seven
(7) items.
Do not make up or assume information in relation to Brian’s case. Only use what you
know from the case study information on the previous page.
Note: In most items Assessment 1, textbooks are not appropriate resources.

Briefly compare and discuss Louis Sullivan’s architectural principle.docx
Briefly compare and discuss Louis Sullivan’s architectural principle that “form follows function”
With Frank Lloyd Wright’s principle as follows:
“Form follows function—that has been misunderstood. Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.”
- Frank Lloyd Wright
To examine this principle, observe some common objects. A pencil, comb, scissors, fork, or some similar object would be good choices for demonstration. Select an object to redesign or repurpose.
Be creative – many innovative and useful designs arise from simple improvements.
Name of Object: _____________________________________________________________
1. Describe the purpose of this object (its function).
2. Write directions for how the object should be used.
3. Describe its design (or form) as completely as possible. Include a description of its shape, material(s), color, texture, weight, and any other details you can observe.
4. Describe how the design of the object is connected to its use.
5. Name one thing you could change in the design of the object that would make it less functional.
6. Can you think of an improvement to make the object more functional?

Boulding (1956) looked at the complexity of systems from a hierarc.docx
Boulding (1956) looked at the complexity of systems from a hierarchical approach or a system of systems perspective. Boulding’s hierarchy includes nine levels of systems: frameworks, clockworks, cybernetic systems, open systems, plants, animals, humans, social organizations, and transcendental. This was one of the first major papers on systems and is the foundation for more complex theories and models. You will continue to explore complex systems in the coming weeks.
To prepare
for this Discussion, review Boulding’s article, “General Systems Theory: The Skeleton of Science” and Von Bertalanffy’s article, “The History and Status of General Systems Theory.” Consider how Boulding’s hierarchy of systems may inform your understanding of organizations.
Post,
your perspective on the relationship between Boulding’s hierarchy of systems and Von Bertalanffy’s general systems theory. Then, explain how these theories have or have not changed your perceptions of a system. Finally, explain how Boulding’s hierarchy might inform leadership and management in organizations.

Brian’s story Brian is 65 years old and lives with his dog ‘Spider.docx
Brian’s story
Brian is 65 years old and lives with his dog ‘Spider’ in a town flat on the first floor of a block of units
in a government housing estate.
About a year ago Brian had to move to town from his home community because his increasing
health needs could not be readily met in his community. He misses his community, the close bonds
with family and friends back home and is worried about his family’s welfare in his absence.
Brian has been a smoker for 30 years. He smokes 20 cigarettes per day and has a history of
recurrent chest infections, hypertension, sleep apnoea and gout. He has a persistent cough that he
calls a ‘smoker’s cough’. Recently he has noticed his cough is getting worse and producing greenish
coloured sputum.
Over the last few days he has been finding it increasingly difficult to walk up stairs and to look after
himself. He now has to stop every few minutes to catch his breath and decided it was time to come
to the Emergency Department at the hospital where you are practicing.
On your shift today, the Emergency Nurse gives you the following handover as part of
Brian’s admission to the setting where you are practicing today as a registered nurse:
Brian presented to the Emergency Department because his respiratory function has been
deteriorating over the last few days. After medical review, his provisional medical diagnosis is an
acute chest infection exacerbating suspected chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He is being
admitted for treatment and further investigation of his respiratory function.
Brian’s current medications include allopurinol, cilazipril and metoprolol and in the emergency
department he has had first doses of ampicillin and a combination bronchodilator by metered dose
inhaler which are to continue until review. The doctor also ordered low flow oxygen via nasal
prongs, chest physio after the bronchodilator therapy and a high energy, high protein diet.
The Emergency nurse also tells you that Brian has reported he hasn’t had a shower for two days
because he gets “too puffed out’ and that he is very worried about his dog ‘Spider’ who has been left
locked up alone in his flat. He also is concerned that his family back in the community doesn’t know
that he’s not well and had come to hospital.
Your task in Assessment 1 is to critically discuss some of the key nursing issues related to
Brian’s care on your shift. Details of the specific nursing issues to address are identified on
the following pages.
Tasks
Based on Brian’s case and the information you have available, address the following seven
(7) items.
Do not make up or assume information in relation to Brian’s case. Only use what you
know from the case study information on the previous page.
Note: In most items Assessment 1, textbooks are not appropriate resources.
Item 1: Clinical presentation No Textbooks are to be used in this section
Brian is part of your patient allocation for your shift today. You haven’.
Briefly compare and discuss Louis Sullivan’s architectural principle.docx
Briefly compare and discuss Louis Sullivan’s architectural principle that “form follows function”
With Frank Lloyd Wright’s principle as follows:
“Form follows function—that has been misunderstood. Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.”
- Frank Lloyd Wright
To examine this principle, observe some common objects. A pencil, comb, scissors, fork, or some similar object would be good choices for demonstration. Select an object to redesign or repurpose.
Be creative – many innovative and useful designs arise from simple improvements.
Name of Object: _____________________________________________________________
1. Describe the purpose of this object (its function).
2. Write directions for how the object should be used.
3. Describe its design (or form) as completely as possible. Include a description of its shape, material(s), color, texture, weight, and any other details you can observe.
4. Describe how the design of the object is connected to its use.
5. Name one thing you could change in the design of the object that would make it less functional.
6. Can you think of an improvement to make the object more functional?

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
