Part III Overview
To make corporate finance decisions, take an advanced finance course, or pursue a career in finance, you will need to understand basic concepts. This includes
going beyond the number crunching and reading graphs in order to analyze various financial indicators. This analysis can lead to many important decisions in
your financial career. For this part of the final project, you will be given a scenario in which you are asked to illustrate your financial knowledge and analysis
skills.
This part of the assessment addresses the following course outcomes:
Analyze the roles and responsibilities of financial managers in confirming compliance with federal and shareholder requirements
Differentiate between various financial markets and institutions by comparing and contrasting options when selecting appropriate private and corporate
investments

to make before you can formally accept or decline the position. When composing your answers to these decisions, ensure that they are cohesive and read like a
short essay.
Your submission must address the following critical elements:
I. School Versus Work
A. The school you would like to attend costs $100,000. To help finance your education, you need to choose whether or not to sell your 1,000
shares of Apple stock, 1,000 EE Savings Bonds (with $100 denominations and 4.25% coupon rate) that are five years from their 30-year maturity
date, or a combination of both. Provide the appropriate data and calculations that you would perform to make this decision.
B. What are the advantages and disadvantages of selling a combination of stocks and bonds? Be sure to support your answers.
C. Suppose that you choose to sell your stocks, bonds, or a combination of both. What is your choice, and what is your financial reasoning behind
this choice? Consider supporting your answer with quantitative data.
D. Suppose that you choose to accept the job. What is your financial reasoning behind this choice? Be sure to support your answer with
quantitative data.
II. Bonus Versus Stock
A. The company has offered you a $5,000 bonus, which you may receive today, or 100 shares of the company’s stock, which has a current stock
price of $50 per share. Mathematically, what is the best choice? Why?
B. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each option? Be sure to support your answers.

Assignment 1: Business Security Posture
Due Week 3 and worth 90 points
Company XYZ, a mid-sized corporation, is in the middle of satisfying their regulatory compliance needs. The manager of security at the company has been tasked by the CIO (Chief Information Officer) to report on the company’s current security posture. You are called upon as a 3
rd
party penetration tester, based on your industry reputation of being both careful and thorough to report on company XYZ’s security posture. The only information available about the company is the generalized information found on its company Website which includes a contact page, home page, customer login portal, copyright and acceptable use page, and disclaimers page.
As an experienced penetration tester, you already have a collection of typical tools you use to conduct your tests (
at minimum, all the tools available in CEH labs for this course
.) The end goal here is to report on company XYZ’s current security posture through performing penetration tests.
Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you outline all steps you would take to provide company XYZ’s request. Include but do not limit yourself to the following:
Determine the communications and questions that you need to ask the Manager of Security before beginning your work assignment.
Determine the type of documents you would bring to your first meeting with the Manager of Security (i.e. documents to sign, to review, to consider).
Explain chronologically when things happen.
Predict what results are expected based on tools and techniques you use. For example, if a goal is to collect recon data, one might use the Nmap tool to perform a subnet scan. A similar scan can be conducted in your iLabs environment and the resulting data used as support in the form of screenshots when explaining your theories.
Evaluate the importance of the Nondisclosure Agreement (NDA) and other legal agreements to both parties.
Propose the main pre-penetration test steps that the penetration tester should perform before beginning the initial phases of the XYZ penetration test. Provide a rationale to support your proposal.

Technical Paper: Risk Assessment
Global Finance, Inc. Network Diagram
Above is the Global Finance, Inc. (GFI) network diagram. GFI has grown rapidly this past year and acquired many network devices as displayed in the diagram. The company invested in the network and designed it to be fault tolerant and resilient from any network failures. However, although the company’s financial status has matured and its network has expanded at a rapid pace, its network security has not kept up with the company growth.
GFI’s network is fairly stabilized as it has not experienced many outages due to network failures. GFI has hired three (3) network engineers to keep up with the network growth and the bandwidth demand by the company employees and the clients. However, the company has not hired any security personnel who can take care of the operational security responsibility.
The trusted computing base (TCB) internal network in the Global Finance, Inc. Network Diagram hosts the company’s mission critical systems without which the company’s operations and financial situation would suffer. The Oracle database and email systems are among the most intensively used application servers in the company. GFI cannot afford system outages because its cash flow and financial systems heavily depend on the network stability. GFI has experienced DOS network attacks twice this year and its Oracle database and email servers had been down for a week. The recovery process required GFI to use $25,000 to restore its operations back to normal. GFI estimated the loss from these network attacks at more than $100,000 including lost customer confidence.
Write a twelve to fifteen (12-15) page formal risk assessment proposal and redraw the above diagram of a secure and risk-mitigating model in which you:
1. Describe the company network, interconnection, and communication environment.
2. Assess risk based on the Global Finance, Inc. Network Diagram scenario. Note: Your risk assessment should cover all the necessary details for your client, GFI Inc., to understand the risk factors of the organization and risk posture of the current environment. The company management will decide what to mitigate based on your risk assessment. Your risk assessment must be comprehensive for the organization to make data-driven decisions.
a. Describe and defend your assumptions as there is no further information from this company. The company does not wish to release any security-related information per company policy.
b. Assess security vulnerabilities, including the possibility of faulty network design, and recommend mitigation procedures for each vulnerability.
c. Justify your cryptography recommendations based on data-driven decision making and objective opinions.
3. Examine whether your risk assessment methodology is quantitative, qualitative, hybrid, or a combination of these.

erm Paper: Penetration Testing
Due Week 10 and worth 120 points
As a penetration tester, you are hired as a consultant by a small- to mid-sized business that is interested in calculating its overall security risk today, January 1, 2012. The business specializes in providing private loans to college students. This business uses both an e-Commerce site and point-of-sales devices (credit card swipes) to collect payment. Also, there exist a number of file transfer operations where sensitive and confidential data is transferred to and from several external partnering companies. The typical volume of payment transactions totals is approximately $100 million. You decide that the risk assessments are to take into account the entire network of workstations, VoIP phone sets, servers, routers, switches and other networking gear. During your interview with one of the business’s IT staff members, you are told that many external vendors want to sell security networking products and software solutions. The staff member also claimed that their network was too “flat.” During the initial onsite visit, you captured the following pertinent data to use in creation of the Penetration Test Plan.
Non-stateful packet firewall separates the business’s internal network from its DMZ.
All departments--including Finance, Marketing, Development, and IT--connect into the same enterprise switch and are therefore on the same LAN. Senior management (CEO, CIO, President, etc.) and the Help Desk are not on that LAN; they are connected via a common Ethernet hub and then to the switched LAN.
All of the workstations used by employees are either Windows 98 or Windows XP. None of the workstations have service packs or updates beyond service pack one.
Two (2) Web servers containing customer portals for logging in and ordering products exist on the DMZ running Windows 2000 Server SP1, and IIS v5.
One (1) internal server containing Active Directory (AD) services to authenticate users, a DB where all data for the company is stored (i.e. HR, financial, product design, customer, transactions). The AD server is using LM instead of NTLM.
Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:
Explain the tests you would run and the reason(s) for running them (e.g. to support the risk assessment plan).
Determine the expected results from tests and research based on the specific informational details provided. (i.e., IIS v5, Windows Server 2000, AD server not using NTLM)
Analyze the software tools you would use for your investigation and reasons for choosing them.
Describe the legal requirements and ethical issues involved.
Using Visio or its open source alternative, provide a diagram of how you would redesign this business’ network. Include a description of your drawing.

§ 6.01 IntroductionBackground checks are an important component .docx
§ 6.01 Introduction
Background checks are an important component of an effective compliance program under the United States Sentencing Guidelines Manual, § 8B2.1(b)(3) (2011). If the personnel involved in promulgating the compliance program are known as people of integrity then the compliance program will be perceived as the result of a sincere effort to create a culture of ethics within the corporation.
Since the integrity of the senior management, compliance officer, and the compliance office personnel is critical to the effectiveness of the compliance program, enhanced background checks need to be conducted on all personnel who are involved in the conduct and dissemination of the compliance program.
__________
Timing:
These background checks should be conducted at the time of employment, promotion, salary increase or change of position to a compliance related function.
__________
Typically, conducting background checks on certain prospective employees can be an important part of the employee selection process for any company.
__________
Timing:
Background checks may also be advisable for employees considered for promotion or transfer into managerial or sensitive positions, or those positions which involve unsupervised employee contact with customers.
__________
__________
Strategic Point:
This practice should be reinforced throughout the company in hiring all employees since every employee is involved in promoting and participating in the compliance program.
__________
§ 6.02 Steps Involved in the Background Check Process
__________Trap:Strategic Point:
While seemingly straightforward, the steps required to conduct a legal background check are full of traps for the unwary. As a matter of federal law (and the law of many states), the process involves the following steps:
· 1.Obtain written consent for a background check from the applicant or employee;
· 2.Obtain and analyze the results of the background check;
· 3.Provide a copy of the background check to the applicant (if the results are relevant to the selection process) along with a written statement of rights and request a response;
· 4.Provide the applicant with an opportunity to respond with written comments to the background check results;
· 5.Consider the applicant’s written comments and the background check results in making a final determination as to whether the applicant will be hired, promoted, or transferred, and;
· 6.Provide the applicant with written notice (if the background check results are relevant to the selection process) of the fact that the background check results played a part in the selection process and that the applicant was not selected as a result.
__________
__________Warning:
These steps are more than just a set of best practices, they are designed to help an employer fully comply with the requirements of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Failing to follow one or more of these steps when using background checks for employment decisions can leave a c.

Jeannette has brought Gabby (now 16) in to see you.
You meet with mother and daughter together, but Gabby does not speak.
Jeannette is angry and yelling at Gabby, despite your requests for her to please
calm down, take a deep breath, and speak more calmly.
Jeannette tells you that her daughter is a “slut.” She has found out that Gabby
has been having sex, which “goes against everything [they] taught her.”
Jeannette adds that Gabby now cannot get married in their church because she
is “damaged goods.” She states that she is horrified by her daughter’s behavior
and ashamed of her.
When you speak with Gabby alone, Gabby begins to cry, telling you that she
loves her boyfriend very much and doesn’t believe that having sex with him is
wrong. She tells you that the only thing that makes her sad is that her parents
“hate” her now, and she’s afraid that she’s “disappointed God.”
Gabby does admit to having lost her virginity at 14 under circumst.

[Week 8: Martinez Family]
General Background:
The Martinez family consists of Miguel, Jeannette, Gabby, Tommy, and Christina
(the adopted daughter of Jeannette’s cousin).
The family’s ethnicity is Hispanic, and both Miguel and Jeannette come from very

Presenting Issues:
Gabby is now 19 years old and has come to see you. She is still living in her
parents’ home, which she says is “generally ok as long as [she does] what they
tell [her] to.”
Although she graduated from high school with fairly good grades, Gabby did not
go to college. She said that she wasn’t sure at the time what she wanted to do,
and her father told her “not to waste [his] money.”

Since then, Gabby has had a series of low-paying jobs, from which she is usually
fired for missing too much work. She says that if she found a job she liked, she’d
probably take it more seriously, but so far that hasn’t happened.
Gabby also shares that she is getting a lot of pressure from her parents to “find a
husband and settle down,” although Gabby thinks she is too young for this.
Gabby is feeling anxious and lost and is looking to you for guidance.

Individual Project Overview
Project Overview and Timeline
The Individual Project Assignments in this course are designed to provide you with a
practical understanding of project management activities in a health care organization.
In each of these three Assignments you have the option of interviewing an individual
who has managed real-life projects about selected aspects related to project
management, or you may choose to write a scholarly paper in which you draw insights
from published articles describing organizations’ experiences in health care information
technology projects. Either of these experiences will help you develop a first-hand
understanding of project management challenges and strategies within one or more
organizations.
The Individual Project Assignments are woven throughout the course and aligned with
course content. For each experience, the completion of a written Assignment aligned to
one of the following experiences is required:
Interview: Interview an individual with project management experience in an
organization of your choosing about one or more designated topics.
OR
Scholarly Paper: Examine a minimum of three organizations that have published
descriptions about a health care information technology project.
Tips and Guidelines
Interview
As you conduct an interview, note your observations, thoughts, and insights regarding
the individual’s roles and functions and how they are carried out. For each individual
interview, address the questions provided in the Topics and Questions section (in Week
2, Week 5, and Week 7) of this document. Keep in mind, though, that responses to the
questions represent the minimum amount of information required in the paper. You are
encouraged to explore the questions fully with thought-provoking follow-up questions.
Your paper should include the individual’s responses to your questions, and—after
some reflection—your analysis of the interviewee’s responses. Write the first draft of
your paper immediately following the interview so all of the information is fresh in your
mind. As you write, reflect upon the topics covered in this course, and synthesize your
knowledge of those topics with what you discussed during the interview.
© 2013 Laureate Education, Inc. 2
Try to match your Assignment setting to your professional goals. Consider interviewing
someone in your own organization or in an organization where you might want to work
as a nurse informaticist after you graduate.
If you are unable to complete the Individual Project Assignments with a project manager
in a health care organization, search for an individual who has managed a project,
preferably a technology project, in another type of setting. If you are unable to find an
interviewee, you must complete the scholarly paper option.

Week 2 Assignment: Comprehensive Patient Assessment
When completing practicum requirements in clinical settings, you and your Preceptor
might complete several patient assessments in the course of a day or even just a few
hours. This schedule does not always allow for a thorough discussion or reflection on
every patient you have seen. As a future advanced practice nurse, it is important that
you take the time to reflect on a comprehensive patient assessment that includes
everything from patient medical history to evaluations and follow-up care. For this
Assignment, you begin to plan and write a comprehensive assessment paper that
focuses on one female patient from your current practicum setting.

a. Chief concern/complaint and history of present illness (include a complete
symptom analysis of chief complaint(s) utilizing OLDCART for a sick/problem
focused visit)
b. Last menstrual period or year of menopause
c. DES exposure (if born between 1948 and 1971)
d. Sexual activity status
e. Barrier prevention
f. Sexual preference
g. Satisfaction with sexual relations
3. Contraception method (if any)
4. Patient history
a. Past medical history
• Major medical events (including pediatric events)

Styles of PatrolIndividual Styles
Officer-initiated activity
Includes stopping, questioning, frisking suspicious citizens, stopping vehicles, writing traffic tickets, etc.
Amount varies between departmentsSupervisor Styles
Also affect an officer’s level of activity
Organizational Styles
James Q. Wilson identified three distinct organizational styles.
The watchman style emphasizes peace-keeping without aggressive law enforcement and few controls over rank-and-file officers.
The legalistic style emphasizes aggressive crime-fighting an attempts to control officer behavior through a rule-bound, “by the book” administrative approach.
The service style emphasizes responsiveness to community expectations and is generally found in suburban police departments where there is relatively little crime.
Patrol SupervisionThe Role of Sergeant: Patrol supervision is usually accomplished by the sergeant on duty. The principle of span of control holds that a supervisor can effectively manage only a limited number of people. The recommended span of control is one sergeant for about every eight officers.

Assignment 1: Business Security Posture
Due Week 3 and worth 90 points
Company XYZ, a mid-sized corporation, is in the middle of satisfying their regulatory compliance needs. The manager of security at the company has been tasked by the CIO (Chief Information Officer) to report on the company’s current security posture. You are called upon as a 3
rd
party penetration tester, based on your industry reputation of being both careful and thorough to report on company XYZ’s security posture. The only information available about the company is the generalized information found on its company Website which includes a contact page, home page, customer login portal, copyright and acceptable use page, and disclaimers page.
As an experienced penetration tester, you already have a collection of typical tools you use to conduct your tests (
at minimum, all the tools available in CEH labs for this course
.) The end goal here is to report on company XYZ’s current security posture through performing penetration tests.
Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you outline all steps you would take to provide company XYZ’s request. Include but do not limit yourself to the following:
Determine the communications and questions that you need to ask the Manager of Security before beginning your work assignment.
Determine the type of documents you would bring to your first meeting with the Manager of Security (i.e. documents to sign, to review, to consider).
Explain chronologically when things happen.
Predict what results are expected based on tools and techniques you use. For example, if a goal is to collect recon data, one might use the Nmap tool to perform a subnet scan. A similar scan can be conducted in your iLabs environment and the resulting data used as support in the form of screenshots when explaining your theories.
Evaluate the importance of the Nondisclosure Agreement (NDA) and other legal agreements to both parties.
Propose the main pre-penetration test steps that the penetration tester should perform before beginning the initial phases of the XYZ penetration test. Provide a rationale to support your proposal.

Global Finance, Inc. Network Diagram
Above is the Global Finance, Inc. (GFI) network diagram. GFI has grown rapidly this past year and acquired many network devices as displayed in the diagram. The company invested in the network and designed it to be fault tolerant and resilient from any network failures. However, although the company’s financial status has matured and its network has expanded at a rapid pace, its network security has not kept up with the company growth.
GFI’s network is fairly stabilized as it has not experienced many outages due to network failures. GFI has hired three (3) network engineers to keep up with the network growth and the bandwidth demand by the company employees and the clients. However, the company has not hired any security personnel who can take care of the operational security responsibility.
The trusted computing base (TCB) internal network in the Global Finance, Inc. Network Diagram hosts the company’s mission critical systems without which the company’s operations and financial situation would suffer. The Oracle database and email systems are among the most intensively used application servers in the company. GFI cannot afford system outages because its cash flow and financial systems heavily depend on the network stability. GFI has experienced DOS network attacks twice this year and its Oracle database and email servers had been down for a week. The recovery process required GFI to use $25,000 to restore its operations back to normal. GFI estimated the loss from these network attacks at more than $100,000 including lost customer confidence.
Write a twelve to fifteen (12-15) page formal risk assessment proposal and redraw the above diagram of a secure and risk-mitigating model in which you:
1. Describe the company network, interconnection, and communication environment.
2. Assess risk based on the Global Finance, Inc. Network Diagram scenario. Note: Your risk assessment should cover all the necessary details for your client, GFI Inc., to understand the risk factors of the organization and risk posture of the current environment. The company management will decide what to mitigate based on your risk assessment. Your risk assessment must be comprehensive for the organization to make data-driven decisions.
a. Describe and defend your assumptions as there is no further information from this company. The company does not wish to release any security-related information per company policy.
b. Assess security vulnerabilities, including the possibility of faulty network design, and recommend mitigation procedures for each vulnerability.
c. Justify your cryptography recommendations based on data-driven decision making and objective opinions.

erm Paper: Penetration Testing
Due Week 10 and worth 120 points
As a penetration tester, you are hired as a consultant by a small- to mid-sized business that is interested in calculating its overall security risk today, January 1, 2012. The business specializes in providing private loans to college students. This business uses both an e-Commerce site and point-of-sales devices (credit card swipes) to collect payment. Also, there exist a number of file transfer operations where sensitive and confidential data is transferred to and from several external partnering companies. The typical volume of payment transactions totals is approximately $100 million. You decide that the risk assessments are to take into account the entire network of workstations, VoIP phone sets, servers, routers, switches and other networking gear. During your interview with one of the business’s IT staff members, you are told that many external vendors want to sell security networking products and software solutions. The staff member also claimed that their network was too “flat.” During the initial onsite visit, you captured the following pertinent data to use in creation of the Penetration Test Plan.
Non-stateful packet firewall separates the business’s internal network from its DMZ.
All departments--including Finance, Marketing, Development, and IT--connect into the same enterprise switch and are therefore on the same LAN. Senior management (CEO, CIO, President, etc.) and the Help Desk are not on that LAN; they are connected via a common Ethernet hub and then to the switched LAN.
All of the workstations used by employees are either Windows 98 or Windows XP. None of the workstations have service packs or updates beyond service pack one.
Two (2) Web servers containing customer portals for logging in and ordering products exist on the DMZ running Windows 2000 Server SP1, and IIS v5.
One (1) internal server containing Active Directory (AD) services to authenticate users, a DB where all data for the company is stored (i.e. HR, financial, product design, customer, transactions). The AD server is using LM instead of NTLM.
Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:
Explain the tests you would run and the reason(s) for running them (e.g. to support the risk assessment plan).
Determine the expected results from tests and research based on the specific informational details provided. (i.e., IIS v5, Windows Server 2000, AD server not using NTLM)
Analyze the software tools you would use for your investigation and reasons for choosing them.
Describe the legal requirements and ethical issues involved.
Using Visio or its open source alternative, provide a diagram of how you would redesign this business’ network. Include a description of your drawing.
Note
: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
Propose your final recommendations and reporting. Explain what risks exist and ways to either eliminate or reduce the risk.

§ 6.01 IntroductionBackground checks are an important component .docx
§ 6.01 Introduction
Background checks are an important component of an effective compliance program under the United States Sentencing Guidelines Manual, § 8B2.1(b)(3) (2011). If the personnel involved in promulgating the compliance program are known as people of integrity then the compliance program will be perceived as the result of a sincere effort to create a culture of ethics within the corporation.
Since the integrity of the senior management, compliance officer, and the compliance office personnel is critical to the effectiveness of the compliance program, enhanced background checks need to be conducted on all personnel who are involved in the conduct and dissemination of the compliance program.
__________
Timing:
These background checks should be conducted at the time of employment, promotion, salary increase or change of position to a compliance related function.
__________
Typically, conducting background checks on certain prospective employees can be an important part of the employee selection process for any company.
__________
Timing:
Background checks may also be advisable for employees considered for promotion or transfer into managerial or sensitive positions, or those positions which involve unsupervised employee contact with customers.
__________
__________
Strategic Point:
This practice should be reinforced throughout the company in hiring all employees since every employee is involved in promoting and participating in the compliance program.
__________
§ 6.02 Steps Involved in the Background Check Process
__________Trap:Strategic Point:
While seemingly straightforward, the steps required to conduct a legal background check are full of traps for the unwary. As a matter of federal law (and the law of many states), the process involves the following steps:
· 1.Obtain written consent for a background check from the applicant or employee;
· 2.Obtain and analyze the results of the background check;
· 3.Provide a copy of the background check to the applicant (if the results are relevant to the selection process) along with a written statement of rights and request a response;
· 4.Provide the applicant with an opportunity to respond with written comments to the background check results;
· 5.Consider the applicant’s written comments and the background check results in making a final determination as to whether the applicant will be hired, promoted, or transferred, and;
· 6.Provide the applicant with written notice (if the background check results are relevant to the selection process) of the fact that the background check results played a part in the selection process and that the applicant was not selected as a result.
__________
__________Warning:
These steps are more than just a set of best practices, they are designed to help an employer fully comply with the requirements of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Failing to follow one or more of these steps when using background checks for employment decisions can leave a c.

Jeannette has brought Gabby (now 16) in to see you.
You meet with mother and daughter together, but Gabby does not speak.
Jeannette is angry and yelling at Gabby, despite your requests for her to please
calm down, take a deep breath, and speak more calmly.
Jeannette tells you that her daughter is a “slut.” She has found out that Gabby
has been having sex, which “goes against everything [they] taught her.”
Jeannette adds that Gabby now cannot get married in their church because she
is “damaged goods.” She states that she is horrified by her daughter’s behavior
and ashamed of her.
When you speak with Gabby alone, Gabby begins to cry, telling you that she
loves her boyfriend very much and doesn’t believe that having sex with him is
wrong. She tells you that the only thing that makes her sad is that her parents
“hate” her now, and she’s afraid that she’s “disappointed God.”
Gabby does admit to having lost her virginity at 14 under circumst.

[Week 8: Martinez Family]
General Background:
The Martinez family consists of Miguel, Jeannette, Gabby, Tommy, and Christina
(the adopted daughter of Jeannette’s cousin).
The family’s ethnicity is Hispanic, and both Miguel and Jeannette come from very
large extended families—many of whom live in the area.
They are Seventh-Day Adventists who are very involved in their church; they
both hold leadership positions in the church and attend services multiple times
each week.
Presenting Issues:
Gabby is now 19 years old and has come to see you. She is still living in her
parents’ home, which she says is “generally ok as long as [she does] what they
tell [her] to.”
Although she graduated from high school with fairly good grades, Gabby did not
go to college. She said that she wasn’t sure at the time what she wanted to do,
and her father told her “not to waste [his] money.”
© 2013 Laureate Education, Inc. 2
Since then, Gabby has had a series of low-paying jobs, from which she is usually
fired for missing too much work. She says that if she found a job she liked, she’d
probably take it more seriously, but so far that hasn’t happened.
Gabby also shares that she is getting a lot of pressure from her parents to “find a
husband and settle down,” although Gabby thinks she is too young for this.
Gabby is feeling anxious and lost and is looking to you for guidance.

Individual Project Overview
Project Overview and Timeline
The Individual Project Assignments in this course are designed to provide you with a
practical understanding of project management activities in a health care organization.
In each of these three Assignments you have the option of interviewing an individual
who has managed real-life projects about selected aspects related to project
management, or you may choose to write a scholarly paper in which you draw insights
from published articles describing organizations’ experiences in health care information
technology projects. Either of these experiences will help you develop a first-hand
understanding of project management challenges and strategies within one or more
organizations.
The Individual Project Assignments are woven throughout the course and aligned with
course content. For each experience, the completion of a written Assignment aligned to
one of the following experiences is required:
Interview: Interview an individual with project management experience in an
organization of your choosing about one or more designated topics.
OR
Scholarly Paper: Examine a minimum of three organizations that have published
descriptions about a health care information technology project.
Tips and Guidelines
Interview
As you conduct an interview, note your observations, thoughts, and insights regarding
the individual’s roles and functions and how they are carried out. For each individual
interview, address the questions provided in the Topics and Questions section (in Week
2, Week 5, and Week 7) of this document. Keep in mind, though, that responses to the
questions represent the minimum amount of information required in the paper. You are
encouraged to explore the questions fully with thought-provoking follow-up questions.
Your paper should include the individual’s responses to your questions, and—after
some reflection—your analysis of the interviewee’s responses. Write the first draft of
your paper immediately following the interview so all of the information is fresh in your
mind. As you write, reflect upon the topics covered in this course, and synthesize your
knowledge of those topics with what you discussed during the interview.
© 2013 Laureate Education, Inc. 2
Try to match your Assignment setting to your professional goals. Consider interviewing
someone in your own organization or in an organization where you might want to work
as a nurse informaticist after you graduate.
If you are unable to complete the Individual Project Assignments with a project manager
in a health care organization, search for an individual who has managed a project,
preferably a technology project, in another type of setting. If you are unable to find an
interviewee, you must complete the scholarly paper option.

might complete several patient assessments in the course of a day or even just a few
hours. This schedule does not always allow for a thorough discussion or reflection on
every patient you have seen. As a future advanced practice nurse, it is important that
you take the time to reflect on a comprehensive patient assessment that includes
everything from patient medical history to evaluations and follow-up care. For this
Assignment, you begin to plan and write a comprehensive assessment paper that
focuses on one female patient from your current practicum setting.
To complete:
Write an 8- to 10-page comprehensive paper that addresses the following:
1. General patient information
a. Age
b. Race/ethnicity
c. Partner status
2. Current health status
a. Chief concern/complaint and history of present illness (include a complete
symptom analysis of chief complaint(s) utilizing OLDCART for a sick/problem
focused visit)
b. Last menstrual period or year of menopause
c. DES exposure (if born between 1948 and 1971)
d. Sexual activity status
e. Barrier prevention
f. Sexual preference
g. Satisfaction with sexual relations
3. Contraception method (if any)
4. Patient history
a. Past medical history
• Major medical events (including pediatric events)
• Psychological and mental health
• Surgeries and/or hospitalizations if pertinent
• Medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, home
and herbal remedies, calcium, and vitamin supplements
• Allergies, including drug, food, and environment

• Health maintenance/screenings, including results of patient’s last Pap and
mammogram as appropriate, as well as previous vaccinations (HPV,
MMR, hepatitis B, last dT, and pneumovax/influenza as appropriate)
b. Family medical history
c. Gynecologic history
• Nullipara vs. multipara
• History of sexually transmitted infections and sexually transmitted
diseases
• Menarche and menstrual patterns
• Menopause or peri-menopausal symptoms (if applicable)
d. Obstetric history
• Gravida and parity status (TPAL)
• Pregnancy history, including history of preterm or low birth weight, other
pregnancy complications, history of sexually transmitted diseases, and
any pertinent negatives
e. Personal social history (as appropriate to the current problem)
• Cultural background
• Education and economic condition
• Abuse history including assault and forced sex (past and current)
• Occupational health patterns
• Environment
• Current health habits and/or risk factors
• Substance use (must include for every patient)
• Tobacco including frequency and longevity

Organizational Styles
James Q. Wilson identified three distinct organizational styles.
The watchman style emphasizes peace-keeping without aggressive law enforcement and few controls over rank-and-file officers.
The legalistic style emphasizes aggressive crime-fighting an attempts to control officer behavior through a rule-bound, “by the book” administrative approach.
The service style emphasizes responsiveness to community expectations and is generally found in suburban police departments where there is relatively little crime.
Patrol SupervisionThe Role of Sergeant: Patrol supervision is usually accomplished by the sergeant on duty. The principle of span of control holds that a supervisor can effectively manage only a limited number of people. The recommended span of control is one sergeant for about every eight officers.

This document summarizes and responds to critiques of the author's original paper on conflicting values and disparate epistemologies in psychiatry. The author agrees with some of the critiques but also clarifies and expands on his original arguments. He argues that psychiatrists must adopt patients' languages and frame problems in a way that respects patients' values, in order to avoid inadvertently harming patients. However, psychiatrists do not need to abandon their own frameworks, but should recognize other possible frameworks and engage in open communication with patients to negotiate care plans in a non-coercive way. Involuntary hospitalization can cause harm and psychiatry's assumptions may need reform, but psychiatry also plays an important role

Examining the Effectiveness of Athlete Celebrity
endorser characteristics and Product Brand
type: the endorser Sexpertise continuum
Christina S. Simmers, Datha Damron-Martinez, & Diana L. Haytko
ABStrAct
This research furthers the theoretical perspectives that athlete endorsers are brands unto
themselves, and that athlete-endorser effectiveness is determined by congruent pairings of the
athlete-endorser brand and the product brand by introducing the Endorser Sexpertise Continuum.
This model categorizes athlete celebrity endorsers on the Endorser Sexpertise Continuum with
anchor points referred to as “acquirable expertise” and “likeability.” As in successful brand
alliances, this model suggests the types of products/brands the athlete celebrities would be most
successful in endorsing, depending on their positioning on the continuum.

introduction
Forbes reported that the 10 richest male and
female athletes made a combined $600 million
in salary, prize money and endorsements,
including men’s professional golfer Tiger
Woods who alone earned nearly $100 million
in sponsorships in 2008 (Badenhausen, 2008;
Thomaselli, 2008). Interestingly, many top
athlete endorsers make considerably more
money as endorsers than as athletes in their
chosen sport. For example from June 2007 to
June 2008, female professional golfer Michelle
Wie earned $12 million in endorsement money
but only $39,000 in prize money. Similarly,
former professional basketball player Michael
Jordan made $45 million in endorsements,
despite not having participated in his sport
for many years (Badenhausen, 2008). Some
athletes endorse a multitude of products (e.g.,
National Football League quarterback Peyton
Manning, Woods, and female racecar driver
Danica Patrick), while others limit themselves

It has been discovered that there are three definite barriers
which can block a person’s ability to study and thus his ability to
be educated. These barriers actually produce physical and
mental reactions.
If one knows and understands what these barriers are and
how to handle them, his ability to study and learn will be greatly
increased.
INTRODUCTION
2
Education in the absence of the mass in which the technology
will be involved is very hard on the student.
In this context “mass” refers to the actual physical objects of
a subject; the things of life; as opposed to significance.1
Absence of mass actually makes a student feel squashed,
THE FIRST BARRIER:
ABSENCE OF MASS
1. significance: any thought, decision, concept, idea, purpose or meaning connected with
something, as opposed to its mass.

makes him feel bent,

sort of dead,

2. physiological: having to do with living things and the ways their parts and organs work.

exasperated.
If he is studying how to do something with the mass absent,
this will be the result.
Photographs help and motion pictures would do pretty
good, as they are a sort of promise or hope of the mass, but the
printed page and the spoken word are not a substitute for a
tractor if he’s studying about tractors.
You have to understand this data in its purity—and that is
that educating a person in a mass that they don’t have and which
isn’t available produces physiological2 reactions.
6
It’s just a fact.
You’re trying to teach this fellow all about tractors and
you’re not giving him any tractors. Well, he’s going to wind up
with a face that feels squashed, with headaches and with his
stomach feeling funny. He’s going to feel dizzy from time to
time and very often his eyes are going to hurt.
You could therefore expect the greatest incidence of suicide
or illness in that field of education most devoted to studying
absent masses.
7
This one of studying the something without its mass ever
being around produces the most distinctly recognizable
reactions.
If a child felt sick in the field of study and it were traced back
to this one, the positive remedy would be to supply the mass—
the object or a reasonable substitute—and it would clear it up.

There is another series of physiological reactions that exist
which is based on the fact of too steep a study gradient.

PURE RAW
Performance, Pedagogy, and
(Re)presentation
Marina Abramovic; interviewed by
Chris Thompson and Katarina Weslien
M
arina Abramovic ; has been pushing the limits of performance for over
three decades. From 1965–70 she studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in
Belgrade, and soon after that at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb,
where she later taught. In 1970 she began working with sound environments, film,
video, and performance. Five years later she met the artist Ulay (Uwe Laysiepen) in
Amsterdam, with whom she worked until 1988. Together they devised perfor-
mances that centered on the limits of human endurance, consciousness, and
perception. Working independently since then, she has exhibited, performed, and
taught internationally, establishing a body of work whose combination of extremity
and intimacy is singular in the history of performance. In 1996 she completed two
important theatre pieces, Biography and Delusional, and the following year her
controversial performance Balkan Baroque won the International Venice Biennale
Award. She received the Niedersächsicher Kunstpreis as well as the New York Dance
and Performance Award for her recent performance/exhibition The House with the
Ocean View at the Sean Kelly Gallery. For her November 2005 exhibition at the
Guggenheim Museum in New York, Marina Abramovic ;: Seven Easy Pieces, she will
re-perform seminal works by Vito Acconci, Joseph Beuys, VALIE EXPORT, Bruce
Nauman, Gina Pane, as well as her own Lips of Thomas, and premiere a new
performance. This interview is based on three conversations with the artist, the first
of which took place in October, 2004 (Amsterdam), and the other two in April,
2005 (New York), around the time of her participation in the “(Re)presenting
Performance” symposium at the Guggenheim Museum.1

THE IDEA OF THE COLLECTIVE
THOMPSON: In reading the transcripts from the catalogue for the 1990 “Art
Meets Science and Spirituality in a Changing Economy conference,”2 I was struck
by your notion that that there could be some blend of Buddhism and communism.
Is this an idea you have continued to develop over the past decade?
30 � PAJ 82
ABRAMOVIC:: It’s really not developed or thought about; I come from communist
country, so communism is something that was very close to me. I know the idealism
of communism in the beginning, and I know the failure of communism in the end,
and I know all the problems, and why it could not succeed. It was a very interesting
concept in Burma; at one point, it was a communist government and a very strong
Buddhist country, so in the government there were Buddhist monks. Again it didn’t
work. So all these concepts don’t work because the mentality and the consciousness
of people are not raised to the level that could make it work. The solution is really
that we have to have a completely different relation to the materialistic world, and
not to be attached to.

Religious Views & Domestic Violence
Christine Hagion Rzepka
Founder & Director, The Ripple Effect
By conservative estimates, a million
Christian women in America are abused by
their husbands (Ingram, 1985), but this is
grossly underestimated (Pagelow &
Johnson, 1988). A survey done in 1993 by
the North American Council for Muslim
Women found that domestic violence
occurred in 10% of the Muslim population
(Alkhateeb, 1999). However, this study
assessed only physical abuse: if verbal and
psychological abuse were added, this
percentage would be greatly increased. One
study in Denver found that 4% of the
victims of domestic violence served in that
community were Jewish (Walker, 1997).
Clearly, the religious community is not
immune from the existence of domestic
violence—and, in some cases, may actually
encourage it through teachings and
traditional beliefs about the roles of men and
women.
While the society struggles to accept
the reality of violence in the family, many
within the religious community, as well as
members of the “clergy… refuse to believe
that abuse exists within their congregations”
(Bussert, 1986, p. 2). This denial further
compounds the sense of isolation and shame
that many victims of domestic violence
endure. Pagelow & Johnson (1988) write:
“Silence within the religious community has
served to keep the lid on the simmering pain
that not only immobilizes victims but
encourages the behavior of the perpetrators”
(p. 9).
Davidson (1978) claims that male-
oriented church doctrines and teachings “about
a woman’s place, duty and nature have added
to the problem (p. 207). This is true not only
of the Judaic and Christian traditions, but of
virtually all religions. According to Gardner
(1977): “All religions preach subordination of
women not just to God, but to men, as an
article of faith…. Moreover, Judeo/Christian
theological writings are explicitly
misogynous.”
ministers are often
the ‘counselors of choice’
for many victims
Christianity & Domestic Violence
In one study on wife abuse, several
wives were abused by their husbands, who
were ministers (Pagelow, 1984). Another
study of 350 battered women found that
28% had sought counsel from the clergy
(Pagelow, 1981b, pp. 277-300). In this
study, the top responses the women received
were a) a reminder of their wifely duty and
instructions to forgive and forget, b) referral
to another resource to limit church
involvement, and c) impractical advice
based on religious doctrine that was not only
insensitive to their needs, but at times,
dangerous. Some were reminded of their
vows “for better or worse,” and were
exhorted pray more. “One, scolded by her
minister for ‘betraying’ her husband by
revealing what had occurred in the privacy

WHEN POPULARITY OUTSTRIPS THE
EVIDENCE: COMMENT ON WEST (2005)
Robert West (2005) has taken the bold step of asserting
that the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) is so flawed that it
should be discarded. Whether one agrees with West’s
conclusion or not, his editorial should stimulate long-
overdue debate about the TTM.
A sharp divide of opinion about the TTM has surfaced
in recent years. On one side the model enjoys substantial
popularity in the form of a voluminous research litera-
ture and a large following among clinicians. On the other
side there is discontent among many scholars (e.g. Sutton
2001) who have closely scrutinized the scientific rigor of
the model. There can be no questioning the popular suc-
cess of the TTM: it is established fact. But the scientific
merit of the model can be questioned, and West has fur-
thered the debate with his provocative editorial. Consis-
tent with West, this commentary will focus on smoking
as the model addiction because smoking has been the pri-
mary focus of the TTM.
The TTM became popular because it brought atten-
tion to the intuitive notion that some smokers are more
ready to quit than others. For this, the originators of the
TTM deserve credit, though as West and others (e.g.
Bandura 1998) have pointed out, the observation that
some smokers are riper for change than others is a con-
firmation of the obvious. As a scientific model, however,
the TTM got off to an inauspicious start. The lynchpin of
the TTM is, of course, the stages of change. Thus it would
seem essential to take great care in formulating how the
stages were to be conceptualized and measured. However,
there has never been a peer-reviewed account of the
developmental research that led to the creation of the
stages of change algorithm. In fact, it is not clear that any
systematic developmental research took place at all, and
the consequences of this omission plague the model to the
present time. Instead, the authors of the TTM essentially
decreed that readiness to quit smoking should be mea-
sured using the stages of change. For the most part, the
addictions research community then adopted the stages
of change, with few questions asked.
There would be little consequence to the omission of
developmental data on the stages of change if the stages
had subsequently been proved to be valid and effective.
However, as West (2005) and others (e.g. Etter & Sutton
2002) point out, this is not the case. The stage of change
algorithm is a magpie collection of questionnaire items
that do not cohere particularly well. Two of the question-
naire items rely on arbitrary timeframes and binary yes-
no response options. One need not be an expert.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
