Information Technology, Computer Networks and CyberspaceKizza (201.docx
Information Technology, Computer Networks and Cyberspace
Kizza (2014) largely treated cyber-attacks as “cybercrime,” conveying the assumption that these attacks are by definition illegitimate and criminal. However, he occasionally seems to recognize that there might be motives that are more ambiguous and may have a social, moral, or political basis. Lessig (2006) also referred to Internet hacker ethic as rebellious and libertarian and not always criminal in a moral sense. One example cited by Kizza (2014) is the Seattle WTO protest and mass computer attacks that are “increasingly being used to avenge what the attackers consider to be injustices” (p. 97). Another example we discussed was the Stratfor attack. Also, recently we see many examples of cyber security invasions by governments and corporations.
Search the Internet to find an example of a hacking activity or situation that represents a morally, ethically, or criminally ambiguous situation but is different from any examples you used in other assignments for this course.
Write a critical essay that addresses the following items:
Cite and briefly describe your example.
Apply what you have learned from the course to this point to identify arguments both in support of and critical of the behavior of the attackers.
Describe and explain the relationships among morality, ethics, law, and crime as they intersect in the case example that you have found.
Cite Winner’s “Do Artifacts Have Politics?” to identify and explain the political, moral, and ethical choices and consequences that may be embedded in technical choices and artifacts described in your example.
Discuss and cite the article “Do Artifacts Have Politics?”, the source of your example, and at least one additional credible or scholarly source other than the course textbook to support your analysis and positions. You may cite the course textbooks as well if you wish. Use standards and APA style guidelines, citing references as appropriate. Your paper should be two to three pages in length. Before submitting your final version, be sure to submit a draft version to the TurnItIn Checker.

Information to use for paper:
Step 1: Select your topic and focus question! Read the topics from the list on page 2 of this document and choose the topic and focus that interests you. Fill out the box below.
What’s your topic and focus question?
Topic:
This Land is My Land
Focus Question:
Evaluate the impact of the Pequot War on either the Europeans or Natives.
Step 2: In 50 words or more, state why you chose the topic and focus question that you chose. It could be how the topic is of interest to you and that you have studied it previously, or it could be a subject that you want to learn more about something of which you do not have knowledge.
I opted for “This Land is My Land” topic due to my insightful interest to explore historical events related to patriotism and balancing power between Europeans and Natives in situations such as trade negotiations. The trade aspect drove me to be specific on the focus question that need to address the impacts of Pequot War to Europeans and Natives. In this case, the contact of both had profound effect where balance of power shifted overnight from natives to Europeans. My choice is therefore grounded on the enthusiasm to discover more knowledge into this particular aspect.
Step 3: List the two primary source and two secondary sources that you have chosen in the boxes below.
Source Type
Source Name
Primary Source #1
Indian Complaints about English Settlers, 1675
Primary Source #2
Edward Randolph’s Report of King Philip’s War, 1675
Secondary Source #1
Adam J. Hirsch, “The Collision of Military Cultures in Seventeenth-Century New England.”
Secondary Source #2
Michal L. Fickes, “’They Could Not Endure that Yoke’: The Capitivity of Pequot Women and Children after the War of 1637”
Step 4: In 50 words or more, describe your initial thoughts about how your sources relate to your chosen topic and focus. Make sure to provide specific examples from each of the four sources that illustrate how they will help you answer your focus question. This will help you begin to think about the form of your paper!
In primary #1 the natives who were the Indians, revolted against the Europeans led by King Phillip which meant the next combinations of Indians to threaten European dominance after
Pequot War
. Primary #2 contribute to this research since
Randolph, sent by King James II, compiled a report to account for the war involving Indians and colonies led by King Phillip.
On the other hand, secondary #1 is relevant to this paper since it analyze military conflicts in 17th-century, warfare practice in Europe; facets of native warfare of Indians and differences between European and native military prowess. Finally, Secondary #2 inputs to my compilation as it addresses how natives of New England were enslaved as it document how Europeans eventually thought of
Pequot War
as the “civilized” English versus the “savage” natives. The colonialists killed and enslaved Pequot women and children.

Information and Knowledge Needs of Nurses in the 21st CenturyIn th.docx
Information and Knowledge Needs of Nurses in the 21st Century
In the year 2025, nursing practice enabled by technology has created a professional culture of reflection, critical inquiry, and inter-professional collaboration. Examples of current technology that could change in the future include:
Nurses use technology at the point of care in all clinical settings (e.g., primary care, acute care, community, and long-term care) to inform their clinical decisions and effect the best possible outcomes for their clients.
Information is gathered and retrieved via human–technology biometric interfaces including voice, visual, sensory, gustatory, and auditory interfaces, continuously monitoring physiologic parameters for potentially harmful imbalances.
Longitudinal records are maintained for all citizens from their initial prenatal assessment to death; all life-long records are aggregated into the knowledge bases of expert systems. These systems are providing the basis of the artificial intelligence being embedded in emerging technologies.
Smart technologies and invisible computing are ubiquitous in all sectors where care is delivered.
Clients and families are empowered to review and contribute actively to their record of health and wellness.
Invasive diagnostic techniques are obsolete, nanotechnology therapeutics are the norm, and robotics supplement or replace much of the traditional work of all health professions.
Nurses provide expertise to citizens to help them effectively manage their health and wellness life plans, and navigate access to appropriate information and services.
Scholarly writing includes clarity and flow of thoughts. You may want to include headings in your paper to ensure you are meeting all elements of the rubric.

Information Technology in Public HealthPublic health surveillance .docx
Information Technology in Public Health
Public health surveillance and prevention efforts in the U.S. reflect the involvement of numerous health care providers and organizations. Government agencies such as the CDC often function as a hub for the collection, coordination, and communication of public health-related data.
Common applications of public health IT to promote and improve the health of populations include (but are not limited to) biosurveillance, disease registries, and immunization tracking. The timely and appropriate implementation of these applications can have a significant impact on the ability of providers to deliver health care to the their patients, which, in turn, can have a profound effect on a community's overall state of health and wellness. Consider the dire impact a SARS outbreak might have, for example, if patient diagnoses were not reported and shared regionally, nationally, and internationally.
Prepare for this Application as follows:
Conduct a literature review of a specific application of health information technology in public health and locate an example in which the application was used to address a public health-related concern. (You might wish to begin by researching a particular surveillance program, disease outbreak, disease registry, prevention program, or other public health-related event, and then identify the technology involved in this activity.)
Find out how this application has impacted the public's health. Learn also about any ways in which health care providers and organizations were involved in the use of this information technology.
Then write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:
Describe the specific application you selected and the ways in which it addresses a public health-related concern. Summarize the potential benefits to the public, as well as any possible drawbacks, arising from the use of this application.
Explain the role of hospitals and other health care organizations in contributing to or making use of this public health-related IT application.
Discuss other implications of this application for health care providers and organizations. How has it impacted (or might it impact) clinical or administrative practices in hospitals or other health care institutions? Provide a rationale for your response.

Background:
Dendrobates pumilo
is a poison dart frog with a distributional range from Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. The bright colors from the skin of these frogs are considered to be a warning sign of toxicity to predators. Although
D. pumilo
is one species, there are 10 color polymorphic populations within this range. The warning signs as displayed on
D. pumilo
are favored by natural selection in terms of predator avoidance.
Purpose of the study (what scientists wanted to understand):
1) How visual conspicuousness and toxicity is correlated.
2) Differences between visual backgrounds and predator visual systems on detection of
D.
pumilo
.
Glossary:
Dorsal
: upper side or back
Ventral
: underside

Visual background
: Poison dart frogs live on different natural substrates; live dead plant parts,
so this would bring about different visual backgrounds.
Visual systems
: In this study they are referring to how predators “view” D. pumilo. Remember, not all predators will see their prey the same way.
Color polymorphisms
:
alternative phenotypes, and in this case alternative phenotypes of frog skin color.

Information Technology in Public HealthPublic health surveillance .docx
Information Technology in Public Health
Public health surveillance and prevention efforts in the U.S. reflect the involvement of numerous health care providers and organizations. Government agencies such as the CDC often function as a hub for the collection, coordination, and communication of public health-related data.
Common applications of public health IT to promote and improve the health of populations include (but are not limited to) biosurveillance, disease registries, and immunization tracking. The timely and appropriate implementation of these applications can have a significant impact on the ability of providers to deliver health care to the their patients, which, in turn, can have a profound effect on a community's overall state of health and wellness. Consider the dire impact a SARS outbreak might have, for example, if patient diagnoses were not reported and shared regionally, nationally, and internationally.
Prepare for this Application as follows:
Conduct a literature review of a specific application of health information technology in public health and locate an example in which the application was used to address a public health-related concern. (You might wish to begin by researching a particular surveillance program, disease outbreak, disease registry, prevention program, or other public health-related event, and then identify the technology involved in this activity.)
Find out how this application has impacted the public's health. Learn also about any ways in which health care providers and organizations were involved in the use of this information technology.
Then write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:
Describe the specific application you selected and the ways in which it addresses a public health-related concern. Summarize the potential benefits to the public, as well as any possible drawbacks, arising from the use of this application.
Explain the role of hospitals and other health care organizations in contributing to or making use of this public health-related IT application.
Discuss other implications of this application for health care providers and organizations. How has it impacted (or might it impact) clinical or administrative practices in hospitals or other health care institutions? Provide a rationale for your response.

Background:
Dendrobates pumilo
is a poison dart frog with a distributional range from Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. The bright colors from the skin of these frogs are considered to be a warning sign of toxicity to predators. Although
D. pumilo
is one species, there are 10 color polymorphic populations within this range. The warning signs as displayed on
D. pumilo
are favored by natural selection in terms of predator avoidance.
Purpose of the study (what scientists wanted to understand):
1) How visual conspicuousness and toxicity is correlated.
2) Differences between visual backgrounds and predator visual systems on detection of
D.
pumilo

Glossary:
Dorsal
: upper side or back
Ventral
: underside

Visual background
: Poison dart frogs live on different natural substrates; live dead plant parts,
so this would bring about different visual backgrounds.
Visual systems
: In this study they are referring to how predators “view” D. pumilo. Remember, not all predators will see their prey the same way.
Color polymorphisms
:
alternative phenotypes, and in this case alternative phenotypes of frog skin color.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic Imperative
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.
