Reaction Paper 2: The Matrix Length: 2 single spaced pages plus reference page / 100 points For this paper, you will explore the process of communicative informatics, the social shaping of communication technology, represented in the movie, The Matrix. You will analyze how the characters using communication technology influence each other and their social worlds. You can extend this to how the movie exemplifies our current society and its uses of communication technology. You may apply any technological and communication concepts, theories, and/or perspectives from class material to develop your analysis. Have a central thesis that is a major theme or concept from course materials. Overarching themes to help guide your analysis are Communicative Informatics level/sphere (data-base analytics, algorithmic reasoning, post-mass media feedback loop), third places, media naturalness, presence, flow, usability, and user engagement. To help facilitate your analysis here are some questions to consider. 1. New technology implies changing social interaction patterns and social norms. How do the characters influences and mold technology to fit their needs? Are they active audiences? How are they part of online communities, communities online, audiences, and/or third places? 2. Discuss how the characters influences their social world(s) using Communicative Informatics level/sphere 2, Network Systems & Human Computer Interaction/Interface, and then at level/sphere 3, Communicative; Information & Communication Technologies. The system learns about users through gathering data in databases; while, the user can learn to use the tailored information to his or her advantage. 3. In what ways does technology foster information transfer, communication, and social interaction? Is it natural? Is it mediated or face-to-face? How does media naturalness explain social interaction though technology in the matrix? What role might proximity play in increasing user engagement? Be creative and have fun with it. Remember to integrate readings & concepts from class. Support your claims with examples from the movie. Cite sources. Here is a list of detailed concepts to consider. - Information - Communication - Feedback - Communicative Informatics - Media type & symbolic cues - Sender - Receiver - Channel/Medium - Media - Feedback - Noise - Levels/Spheres of Communication - Interactivity and Push & Pull Media - Paradigm - Narrowcasting - Media Uses and Gratifications - Illusion of Audience control - Burke Identification - Active Audiences - Universal Audience - Elite or “Particular Audience” - A single hearer: Appeal to participation; Appeal to Proximity - Social media - Engagement - Shared Locality - Structural norms (social - rules) - Speech Community - Online communities - Communities online - Social presence theory - Technology Adoption Model - Ages of: communities and pl ...

involving employees, partners and customers considering cultural changes. It also demonstrates
the Corporate SNS evolution to a Daily Collaborative Work Platform incorporating Corporate
SNS and other tools as Enterprise Content Management (ECM), Business Process Management
(BPM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Mall (APP Store), Enterprise Service Bus (ESB),
Web Content Management (WCM), Identity Management (IDM), Analytics Tools, Portals like
Human Resources and Demand Management providing a single experience to their users.
Design / Methodology / Approach: This paper is a case study carried on in the biggest
developer of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) in Latin America.
Results: The use of a Corporate Social Network starts as a project but in order to continually

activity in all company.
Originality / Value: Social Network Sites (SNS) revolutionized human relationship in personal,
academic and professional ways, extending the range of connections bringing new forms of
communication. New technologies bring new opportunities but also bring challenges. The first
companies to learn about SNS use will enjoy a great competitive advantage, improving how to do
business and coordinate internal and external relationships and activities. A corporate social
network implementation is a good start to obtain the advantages of this new technology but, for
the companies to conquer a collaborative form of work, a cultural base for the proper use of the
platform is crucial.

A Model for the Value Creation Framework
The Value Creation Framework (Perrini, 2006) helps companies and the investment community to better understand how a more inclusive stakeholder-oriented governance systems positively affects corporate performance. Perrini, Russo,Tencati, &Vurro, 2009 analysis findings are that there is no doubt that Corporate Responsibility (CR) may be beneficial for committed firms. Less clear is what dimensions firms can leverage to improve their abilities to benefit from responsible behavior. Starting from the analysis of existing literature on the link between Corporate Social Performance (CSP) and Corporate Financial Performance (CFP), and deepening the different dimensions underlying the relationship between specific CR-related interventions and company performance, the research answered the call for a more detailed understanding of the mechanisms through which CR can impact on the performance of the firm.
A simplified NetLogo model has been built (Nenci, 2013) to frame and analyse company's policy and related actions on people values and consequential corporate performances impacts. While firms values, belief and activities have been identified and classified into drivers, influencer and influenced (Perrini et al, 2009) variables specification, their interaction mechanisms and rules has been developed to build the model. Satisfaction has been chosen as the main variable including in calculation: salary, mobility and training variation, training and satisfaction variation against average. This to answer the question: With which level of decreasing satisfaction a talented worker will leave the enterprise?

The modern business environment has become very complex, competitive and dynamic. An organization has to keep scanning the environment to see what it can do differently so as to increase its productivity. Management problems have been around from time immemorial, but their impact on the performance of the organization cannot be ignored. These challenges, then, have to be sorted out in the most effective way possible so as to mitigate their effects on the organization. Some of these problems include transparency, human resources challenges and change management. In this research paper, we are going to focus on human resource challenges experienced at MTS Systems, evaluate their effect on the company performance and measures that can be put in place to mitigate the effects of this challenge.
One of the biggest challenge in the workplace today is retention of skilled and talented workers. The way the workforce is constituted today, there is a need for more than a good salary to keep the talented people motivated and satisfied. It has been observed that employees move and job-hop as they seek to move up the ladder at the shortest time possible and also in an attempt to meet their expectations and motivations which are ever-changing and dynamic. The situation has been compounded by the generational difference in the company where there are older generations and the millennial, who are driven, motivated and simulated by different factors. For instance, the older generations are much more loyal to the place of work and are less likely to job-hop. They are also more patient and are much more responsive to financial rewards. On the other hand, the younger generations are less loyal to the company they work for, are less patient and will respond better to recognition as well as feeling valued.
Today, managers have woken up to the realization that their skilled staff has more options on their hands, especially now that there are more advances in technology, given the explosion in startup and entrepreneurs who are revolutionizing the way things are done. Managers have to evaluate the hunger in the workplace and focus on feeding it (Bondarouk & Ruel, 2009). There is need to focus on much more than just providing a potential opportunity for promotion and job security. Managers should focus on working with the other members of top management in order to define roles, come up with career progression paths that are extensive, enhancing creativity in the workplace, enhancing the working environment, encouraging a culture of collaboration and providing a system-wide mission that will be adopted by employees in their daily operations.
Management of human resources extends even to the communication amongst the different generations that are found within the workspace in the organization. A youn ...

Week 1 Lecture The Nature of Business ResearchBusiness researc.docx
Week 1 Lecture
The Nature of Business Research
Business research covers a wide range of phenomena. For managers, the purpose of research is to provide knowledge regarding the organization, the market, the economy, or another area of uncertainty. A financial manager may ask, “Will the environment for long-term financing be better two years from now?†A personnel manager may ask, “What kind of training is necessary for production employees?†or “What is the reason for the company’s high employee turnover?†A marketing manager may ask, “How can I monitor my retail sales and retail trade activities?†Each of these questions requires information about how the environment, employees, customers, or the economy will respond to executives’ decisions. Research is one of the principal tools for answering these practical questions.
Business research is the application of the scientific method in searching for the truth about business phenomena. These activities include defining business opportunities and problems, generating and evaluating alternative courses of action, and monitoring employee and organizational performance. Business research is more than conducting surveys.6 This process includes idea and theory development, problem definition, searching for and collecting information, analyzing data, and communicating the findings and their implications.
Applied business research is conducted to address a specific business decision for a specific firm or organization. The opening vignette describes a situation in which ESPN used applied research to decide how to best create knowledge of its sports fans and their preferences. Basic business research (sometimes referred to as pure research) is conducted without a specific decision in mind, and it usually does not address the needs of a specific organization.
All research, whether basic or applied, involves the scientific method. The scientific method is the way researchers go about using knowledge and evidence to reach objective conclusions about the real world. The scientific method is the same in social sciences, such as business, as in physical sciences, such as physics. In this case, it is the way we come to understand business phenomena.
A firm can be production-oriented. A production-oriented firm prioritizes the efficiency and effectiveness of production processes in making decisions. Here, research providing input from workers, engineers, finance, and accounting becomes important as the firm seeks to drive costs down. Production-oriented firms are usually very large firms manufacturing products in very large quantities. The third orientation is marketing- oriented, which focuses more on how the firm provides value to customers than on the physical product or production process. With a marketing-oriented organization the majority of research focuses on the customer. Research addressing consumer desires, beliefs, and attitudes becomes essential.

Question 1 quCompanies with reputations as good places to work
Question 1 : quCompanies with reputations as good places to work have generated superior financial performance." Explain your answer using informed sources?
Companies with reputations as good places to work such as Adobe, Google, LinkedIn, Facebook, and so on have generated superior financial performance because these companies incorporate organizational behavior principles, which are studies that investigates the impact of individuals, groups, and structure have on behavior within organizations for the purpose of applying such knowledge toward improving an organization’s effectiveness into their workplaces. By doing that these companies have been able to yield many important organizational outcomes, that could affect them. Also, these companies with reputations of good places to work at have incorporated the importance of using interpersonal skills within the workplace. By them incorporating interpersonal skills it has helped built a strong association between the quality of workplace relationships and job satisfaction.
Not only does it have a strong association between the quality or workplace relationships and job satisfaction, but it helps when it comes to stress and turnover rates. Incorporating interpersonal skills has resulted in a lower turnover of quality employees and higher quality applications for recruitment. Furthermore, by increasing the OB principles in an organization and incorporating interpersonal skills, it can help foster social responsibility awareness. Which is good for that company or organization because it incorporates social entrepreneurship education into that company to train future leaders in addressing social issues within their organizations.

Question #2 Regarding the use of technology, how is customer and competitor behavior monitored and measured? Explain your answer using scholarly sources and citations within the text.
Technology is used by big companies such as Google and Facebook, who rely on advertising income for their revenue, which is why they need technology to predict user behavior. Similarly, to Google and Facebook companies like Netflix and Uber use technology to predict when and where customers may want to use their service. Although Netflix and Uber may reply on user subscriptions for revenue, they mostly use technology to track user behavior to provide them with what is best suited for that specific user. An example of how companies use technology to monitor, and measure would be Kroger a U.S grocery store electronically collects information from 55 million customers who have loyalty cards and sells that data to vendors. When we think of companies using technology, we think about big companies or companies who it would benefit the most but according to our textbook insurance firms also use technology for their benefit too.

According to (Fatehi, Gordon & Florida, N.D.) theoretical orient.docx
According to (Fatehi, Gordon & Florida, N.D.) theoretical orientation represent styles of mind for understanding reality. This theoretical orientation can be organized as a continuum from theoretical constructs that are independent and concrete as with the Behavioral/ CBT theories, to theoretical constructs that are interdependent and abstract as with the Psychodynamic theories (Fatehi, Gordon & Florida, N.D.). Family systems and Humanistic/Existential are theoretical midpoints (Fatehi, Gordon & Florida, N.D.). Trait theory tends to focus on the premise that we are born with traits or characteristics that make us unique and explain our behaviors (Cervone& Pervin, 2019). For example, introversion, extroversion, shyness, agreeableness, kindness, etc. all these innate characteristics that we are born help to explain why we behave in a certain manner according to the situations we face, (Cervone& Pervin, 2019). Psychoanalytic perspective on the other hand focuses on childhood experiences and the unconscious mind which plays a role in our personality development, (Cervone& Pervin, 2019).
According to Freud, (Cervone& Pervin, 2019) our unconscious mind includes all our hidden desires and conflicts which form the root cause of our mental health issues or maladaptive behaviors. The main difference between these two perspectives is that trait theory helps to explain why we behave in a certain manner, whereas psychoanalytic theory only describes the personality and predicting behavior and not really explaining why we behave the way we do. There is no such evident similarity between the two perspectives, but kind of rely on underlying mechanisms to explain personality. Also, there is some degree of subjectivity present in both the perspectives. Trait theories involve subjectivity regarding interpretations of which can be considered as important traits that explain our behaviors, and psychoanalytic theory is subjective and vague in the concepts been used like the unconscious mind. My opinions accord with the visible contrasts between the two, one focused on internal features describing our behaviors in clearer words, whilst other concentrating on unconscious mind in anticipating behavior which is ambiguous and harder to grasp.

Week 1 Lecture
The Nature of Business Research
Business research covers a wide range of phenomena. For managers, the purpose of research is to provide knowledge regarding the organization, the market, the economy, or another area of uncertainty. A financial manager may ask, “Will the environment for long-term financing be better two years from now?†A personnel manager may ask, “What kind of training is necessary for production employees?†or “What is the reason for the company’s high employee turnover?†A marketing manager may ask, “How can I monitor my retail sales and retail trade activities?†Each of these questions requires information about how the environment, employees, customers, or the economy will respond to executives’ decisions. Research is one of the principal tools for answering these practical questions.
Business research is the application of the scientific method in searching for the truth about business phenomena. These activities include defining business opportunities and problems, generating and evaluating alternative courses of action, and monitoring employee and organizational performance. Business research is more than conducting surveys.6 This process includes idea and theory development, problem definition, searching for and collecting information, analyzing data, and communicating the findings and their implications.
Applied business research is conducted to address a specific business decision for a specific firm or organization. The opening vignette describes a situation in which ESPN used applied research to decide how to best create knowledge of its sports fans and their preferences. Basic business research (sometimes referred to as pure research) is conducted without a specific decision in mind, and it usually does not address the needs of a specific organization.
All research, whether basic or applied, involves the scientific method. The scientific method is the way researchers go about using knowledge and evidence to reach objective conclusions about the real world. The scientific method is the same in social sciences, such as business, as in physical sciences, such as physics. In this case, it is the way we come to understand business phenomena.

According to cultural deviance theorists like Cohen, deviant subcultures have their own value system that often opposes those of society at large. These contradictory "values" have been embraced by generations within that culture—and as a way to act out against the majority value system from which they feel excluded. Write an essay of 750-1,000 words that addresses the following:
How has rap culture perpetuated subcultural values, and promoted violence and crime among young men?
Given its sharp deviation from conventional values and norms, how and why would theorists explain the persistence and popularity of this subculture? (See examples Tupac Shakur page 109-110 and 50 Cent page 135).

According to Gray et al, (2017) critical appraisal is the proce.docx
According to Gray et al, (2017) “critical appraisal is the process of carefully and systematically assessing the outcome of all aspects of a study, judging the strengths, limitation, trustworthiness, meaning, and its applicability to practice”. The steps involved in critical appraisal include “identifying the study's elements or processes, determining the strengths and weaknesses, and evaluating the credibility and trustworthiness of the study” (Gray et al., 2017). The journal article chosen is
“change in staff perspectives on indwelling urinary catheter use after implementation of an intervention bundle in seven Swiss acute care hospitals: a result of a before/after survey study”
by Niederhauser, Zullig, Marschall, Schweiger, John, Kuster, and Schwappach. (2019).
Identifying the study's elements or processes
A significant issue addressed by the study is the nursing “staffs’ perspective towards indwelling urinary catheter (IUC) and evaluation of changes in their perspectives towards indwelling urinary catheter (IUC) use after implementation of a 1-year quality improvement project” (Niederhauser et al, 2019). the process of the research was conducted in “seven acute care hospitals in Switzerland” (Niederhauser et al, 2019). With a “sample size of 1579 staff members participated in the baseline survey and 1527 participated in the follow-up survey. The survey captures all nursing and medical staff members working at the participating hospitals at the time of survey distribution, using a multimodal intervention bundle, consisting of an evidence-based indication list, daily re-evaluation of ongoing catheter needs, and staff training were implemented over the course of 9 months” (Niederhauser et al, 2019).
Determining the strengths and weaknesses
A great strength of the study is a large sample size of over 1000 and the use of well-constructed and easy-to-read heading for better understanding. Also, the use of figures, graphs, and tables make the article less cumbersome to read. Another strength is the implementation of the ethical principles of research by enabling informed consent and voluntary participation as well as confidentiality and anonymity of information.
On the other hand, the study has several weaknesses such as the use of “the theory of planned behavior to model intentions to reduce catheter use, but it is not possible to know if changes observed in staff perception led to a true change in practice” (Niederhauser et al, 2019). Another weakness of the study is the repeated survey design which allows assessment of changes in staff perspectives after implementation of a quality improvement intervention but the sustainability of the effects over time could not be evaluated.
Evaluating the credibility and trustworthiness of the study
Although the study used a larger sample size of over 1000, the “use of a single-group design and no control group weakens its credibility and trustworthiness because there are no causal inferences abou.
According to article Insecure Policing Under Racial Capitalism by.docx
According to article "Insecure: Policing Under Racial Capitalism" by Robin D.G. Kelley and the article "Yes, We Mean Literally Abolish the Police" by Mariame Kaba, the police are no longer an attribute of safety and security. The facts that are given in the articles are similar within the meaning of the content. The police do not serve for the benefit of the whole community. Racial and class division according to social status became the basis of lawlessness and injustice on the part of the police. Kaaba in his article cites several stories confirming the racial hatred that led to the murder of African Americans. After that, people massively took to the streets of many cities in several countries, demanding an end to racial discrimination and the murder of African Americans. Kelley's article describes numerous manifestos where demands for police abolition have been raised, but all have been rejected. In the protests, people suggested that they themselves would take care of each other, which the police could not do. I understand that the police system is far from ideal and the permissiveness of police representatives should be limited. Ruth Wilson Gilmore says that "capitalism is never racial." I think that this phrase she wants to say that the stronger people take away from the weak people and use them for their own well-being. And since the roots of history go back to slavery, then African Americans are the weak link. In this regard, a huge number of prisons and police power appeared. The common and small class do not feel protected, on the contrary; they expect a threat from people who must protect them. The police take an oath to respect and protect human and civil rights and freedoms, regardless of skin color and social status. If this does not happen, then you need to change the system.

Abstract In this experiment, examining the equivalence poi.docx
Abstract:
In this experiment, examining the equivalence point in a titration with NaOH identified an
unknown diprotic acid. The molar mass of the unknown was found to be 100.78 g/mol with pKa
values of 2.6 and 6.6. The closest diprotic acid to this molar mass is malonic acid with a percent
error of 3.48%.
Introduction:
The purpose of the experiment was to determine the identity of an unknown diprotic acid. The
equivalence and half-equivalence points on the titration curve give important information, which
can then be used to calculate the molecular weight of the acid. The equivalence point is the
moment when there is an equal amount of acid and NaOH. Knowing the concentration and
volume of added NaOH at that moment, the amount of moles of NaOH can be determined. The
amount of moles of NaOH is then equivalent to the amount of acid present. Dividing the original
mass of the acid by the moles present gave the molar mass of the acid.
In this particular titration, there were two equivalence points as the acid is diprotic.
Consequently, the titration curve had two inflection points. The acid dissociated in a two-step
process with the net reaction being:
H2X + 2 NaOH Na2X + 2 H2O
This was important to take into consideration when calculating the molar mass of the diprotic
acid. If the first equivalence point was to be used, the ratio of acid to NaOH was 1:1. If the
second equivalence point was used in the calculations, the ratio became 1:2 as now a second
set of NaOH molecules reacted with the acid to dissociate the second hydrogen ion. The
titration curve also showed the pKa values of the acid. This happened at the half-equivalence
point where half of the acid was dissociated to its conjugate base (again, because of the diprotic
properties of the acid, this happens twice on the curve). The Henderson Hasselbalch equation
pH = pKa+log(A-/HA)
shows that at the half-equivalence point, the pKa value equaled the pH and was visually
represented by the flattest part of the graphs.
Discussion:
The titration graph showed that the data was consistent with the methodology and proved to be
an precise execution of the procedure and followed the expected shape. One possible source of
error was the actual mass of the acid solid. While transferring the dust from the weigh boat to
the solution, some remained in the weigh boat this could have altered the molar mass
calculations and shifted the final the final mass lighter than actual.
The Vernier pH method was definitely a much more concrete method of interpreting the results.
It was possible to see which addition of NaOH gave the greatest increase in pH ( greatest 1st
derivative of the titration graph). The relying solely on the indicator color would make it very
difficult to judge at which precise point the color shifted most, as the shift was a lot more gradual
compared to the precise numbers. This may have been a more reliable method if there was a
de.

Part A: Capital Budgeting Decisions
Chee Company has gathered the following data on a proposed investment project:
Investment required in equipment ............. $240,000
Annual cash inflows .................................. $50,000
Salvage value ............................................ $0
Life of the investment ............................... 8 years
Required rate of return .............................. 10%
Assets will be depreciated using straight
line depreciation method
Required:
Using the net present value and the internal rate of return methods, is this a good investment?
Part B: Master Budget
You have just been hired as a new management trainee by Earrings Unlimited, a distributor of
earrings to various retail outlets located in shopping malls across the country. In the past, the
company has done very little in the way of budgeting and at certain times of the year has
experienced a shortage of cash. Since you are well trained in budgeting, you have decided to
prepare a master budget for the upcoming second quarter. To this end, you have worked with
accounting and other areas to gather the information assembled below.
The company sells many styles of earrings, but all are sold for the same price—$10 per pair. Actual
sales of earrings for the last three months and budgeted sales for the next six months follow (in pairs
of earrings):
January (actual) 20,000 June (budget) 50,000
February (actual) 26,000 July (budget) 30,000
March (actual) 40,000 August (budget) 28,000
April (budget) 65,000 September (budget) 25,000
May (budget) 100,000
The concentration of sales before and during May is due to Mother’s Day. Sufficient inventory should
be on hand at the end of each month to supply 40% of the earrings sold in the following month.
Suppliers are paid $4 for a pair of earrings. One-half of a month’s purchases is paid for in the month
of purchase; the other half is paid for in the following month. All sales are on credit. Only 20% of a
month’s sales are collected in the month of sale. An additional 70% is collected in the following
month, and the remaining 10% is collected in the second month following sale. Bad debts have been
negligible.
Monthly operating expenses for the company are given below:

Academic Integrity A Letter to My Students[1] Bill T.docx
Academic Integrity:
A Letter to My Students[1]
Bill Taylor
Professor of Political Science
Oakton Community College
Des Plaines, IL 60016
[email protected]
Here at the beginning of the semester I want to say something to you about academic integrity.[2]
I’m deeply convinced that integrity is an essential part of any true educational experience, integrity on
my part as a faculty member and integrity on your part as a student.
To take an easy example, would you want to be operated on by a doctor who cheated his way through
medical school? Or would you feel comfortable on a bridge designed by an engineer who cheated her
way through engineering school. Would you trust your tax return to an accountant who copied his
exam answers from his neighbor?
Those are easy examples, but what difference does it make if you as a student or I as a faculty member
violate the principles of academic integrity in a political science course, especially if it’s not in your
major?
For me, the answer is that integrity is important in this course precisely because integrity is important in
all areas of life. If we don’t have integrity in the small things, if we find it possible to justify plagiarism or
cheating or shoddy work in things that don’t seem important, how will we resist doing the same in areas
that really do matter, in areas where money might be at stake, or the possibility of advancement, or our
esteem in the eyes of others?
Personal integrity is not a quality we’re born to naturally. It’s a quality of character we need to nurture,
and this requires practice in both meanings of that word (as in practice the piano and practice a
profession). We can only be a person of integrity if we practice it every day.
What does that involve for each of us in this course? Let’s find out by going through each stage in the
course. As you’ll see, academic integrity basically requires the same things of you as a student as it
requires of me as a teacher.
I. Preparation for Class
What Academic Integrity Requires of Me in This Area
With regard to coming prepared for class, the principles of academic integrity require that I come having
done the things necessary to make the class a worthwhile educational experience for you. This requires
that I:
reread the text (even when I’ve written it myself),
clarify information I might not be clear about,
prepare the class with an eye toward what is current today (that is, not simply rely on past
notes), and
plan the session so that it will make it worth your while to be there.
What Academic Integrity Requires of You in This Area
With regard to coming prepared for class, the principles of academic integrity suggest that you have a
responsibility to yourself, to me, and to the other students to do the things necessary to put yourself in
a position to make fruitful contributions to class discussion. This will require you to:
read the text before.

ACA was passed in 2010, under the presidency of Barack Obama. Pr.docx
ACA was passed in 2010, under the presidency of Barack Obama. Prior to this new act, there were plenty of votes that did not agree with the notion of accessible insurance. Before 2010, The private sector had been given coverage in such a way that Milstead and Short (2019) called it sickness insurance; meaning companies will risk incurring medical expenses as long as it was balanced by healthy people. They were doing so by excluding people that had pre-existing conditions, becoming a very solvent business (Milstead & Short, 2019). After ACA was passed that was no longer the case. When President Trump came into term he did so by bringing his own healthcare agenda, which attempted to repeal ACA, but ultimately failed to come up with a replacement.
In 2016, the Republican's party platform was to repeal ACA, while continuing Medicare and Medicaid, but on the other hand, democrats put down that Obamacare is a step towards the goals of universal health care, and that this was just the beginning (Physicians for a National Health Program, n.d.). As for the cost analysis of repealing the Affordable Care Act, this would increase the number of uninsured people by 23 million, and it will cost about 350 billion through 2027, as well as creating costly coverage provisions to replace it (Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, 2017).

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the White House and a coalition of leading research groups have prepared the COVID-19 Open Research Dataset (CORD-19). CORD-19 is a resource of over 44,000 scholarly articles, including over 29,000 with full text, about COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, and related corona viruses. This freely available dataset is provided to the global research community to apply recent advances in natural language processing and other AI techniques to generate new insights in support of the ongoing fight against this infectious disease. There is a growing urgency for these approaches because of the rapid acceleration in new coronavirus literature, making it difficult for the medical research community to keep up.
Call to Action
We are issuing a call to action to the world's artificial intelligence experts to develop text and data mining tools that can help the medical community develop answers to high priority scientific questions. The CORD-19 dataset represents the most extensive machine-readable coronavirus literature collection available for data mining to date. This allows the worldwide AI research community the opportunity to apply text and data mining approaches to find answers to questions within, and connect insights across, this content in support of the ongoing COVID-19 response efforts worldwide. There is a growing urgency for these approaches because of the rapid increase in coronavirus literature, making it difficult for the medical community to keep up.
A list of our initial key questions can be found under the
Tasks
section of this dataset. These key scientific questions are drawn from the NASEM’s SCIED (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Standing Committee on Emerging Infectious Diseases and 21st Century Health Threats)

AbstractVoice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is an advanced t.docx
Abstract
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is an advanced telecommunication technology which transfers the voice/video over
high speed network that provides advantages of flexibility, reliability and cost efficient advanced telecommunication
features. Still the issues related to security are averting many organizations to accept VoIP cloud environment due to
security threats, holes or vulnerabilities. So, the novel secured framework is absolutely necessary to prevent all kind of
VoIP security issues. This paper points out the existing VoIP cloud architecture and various security attacks and issues
in the existing framework. It also presents the defense mechanisms to prevent the attacks and proposes a new security
framework called Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) using video watermarking and extraction technique and Liveness
Voice Detection (LVD) technique with biometric features such as face and voice. IPSs updated with new LVD features
protect the VoIP services not only from attacks but also from misuses.

1. Introduction
The rapid progress of VoIP over traditional services is
led to a situation that is common to many innovations
and new technologies such as VoIP cloud and peer to
peer services like Skype, Google Hangout etc. VoIP is the
technology that supports sending voice (and video) over
an Internet protocol-based network1,2. This is completely
different than the public circuit-switched telephone net-
work. Circuit switching network allocates resources to
each individual call and path is permanent throughout
the call from start to end. Traditional telephony services
are provided by the protocols/components such as SS7, T
carriers, Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS), the Public
Switch Telephone Network (PSTN), dial up, local loops
and anything under International Telecommunication
Union. IP networks are based on packet switching and
each packet follows different path, has its own header and
is forwarded separately by routers. VoIP network can be
constructed in various ways by using both proprietary
protocols and protocols based on open standards.
1.1 VoIP Layer Architecture
VoIP communication system typically consist of a front
end platform (soft-phone, PBX, gateway, call manager),
back end platform (server, CPU, storage, memory, net-
work) and intermediate platforms such as VoIP protocols,
database, authentication server, web server, operating sys-
tems etc. It is mainly divided into five layers as shown in
Figure1.
1.2 VoIP Cloud Architecture
VoIP cloud is the framework for delivering telephony
services in which resourc.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
