Your quest to purchase a new car begins with an identification of the factors important to you. As you conduct a search of cars that rate high on those factors, you collect evidence and try to understand the extent of that evidence. A report that suggests a certain make and model of automobile has high mileage is encouraging. But who produced that report? How valid is it? How was the data collected, and what was the sample size?

In this Assignment, you will delve deeper into clinical inquiry by closely examining your PICO(T) question. You also begin to analyze the evidence you have collected.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and identify a clinical issue of interest that can form the basis of a clinical inquiry.
• Develop a PICO(T) question to address the clinical issue of interest you identified in Module 2 for the Assignment. This PICOT question will remain the same for the entire course.
• Use the key words from the PICO(T) question you developed and search at least four different databases in the Walden Library. Identify at least four relevant systematic reviews or other filtered high-level evidence, which includes meta-analyses, critically-appraised topics (evidence syntheses), critically-appraised individual articles (article synopses). The evidence will not necessarily address all the elements of your PICO(T) question, so select the most important concepts to search and find the best evidence available.
• Reflect on the process of creating a PICO(T) question and searching for peer-reviewed research.

The Assignment (Evidence-Based Project)

Part 2: Advanced Levels of Clinical Inquiry and Systematic Reviews

Create a 6- to 7-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:

• Identify and briefly describe your chosen clinical issue of interest.
• Describe how you developed a PICO(T) question focused on your chosen clinical issue of interest.
• Identify the four research databases that you used to conduct your search for the peer-reviewed articles you selected.
• Provide APA citations of the four relevant peer-reviewed articles at the systematic-reviews level related to your research question. If there are no systematic review level articles or meta-analysis on your topic, then use the highest level of evidence peer reviewed article.
• Describe the levels of evidence in each of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected, including an explanation of the strengths of using systematic reviews for clinical research. Be specific and provide examples.

 

You are expected to identify 1 subculture that you belong to, to research it and then to create a 3-minute YouTube video about it. In the video, you should explain the following:

1. Briefly describe the history, relevance, trends, size, and importance vis-à-vis customer behavior and culture.
2. Explain why you think this particular subset of people can be treated as subculture.
3. Describe how have companies or industries tried to market to these segments? What is the effect on an industry or company trying to market and sell to that subculture? How have the companies tried to influence the subculture?
4. What observations can you make about how specific companies have been successful (or not successful) in marketing/selling to these subcultures? And why? Draw some conclusions and form recommendations.
5. What are your personal experiences?

Be specific in your analysis and recommendations. Provide actual examples of business practices. Analyze cultural standpoints. It is important that you do some reading and research when deciding on a particular subculture, however, remember to share your personal point of view/impressions/reflections/experiences.

[If you do not feel comfortable describing a subculture you belong to, focus on a subculture that you can identify in your home country, but first please consult this with the professor. ]

The video should be brief: preferably 3 minutes, no shorter than 2,5 minutes and no longer than 3 minutes.

The video should be informative and interesting. It also should be easy enough to understand by anyone who watches it who has not taken the class. This means to include an introduction, the content, and a conclusion. Avoid being so technical that people can’t understand you.  

The video should be creative also in terms of execution. You can simply video yourself talking on screen, but this is basic execution – try to enhance your presentation with powerpoint slides, animations, pictures and/or any media that will illustrate your points, and to stand out.

You must upload the video to YouTube so that you post a YouTube link here (your submission is a link, NOT a file). You must ensure that the YouTube link is accessible for the instructor (not locked, password-protected, restricted or listed as private). Before uploading the video, double check if you can easily understand the content.

I am posting this assignment in Discussions section, so that your colleagues can access your video, view it and post some feedback. I wish we voted for few best videos so that we can view and discuss them in class too. 

Suggestions for making a good video:

The video has to be interesting! Good enough to present it on your personal IG/FB/LN profiles. The picture needs to be sharp and clear and the sound has to be good enough to hear every word you said. NO noises in the background like thunders, dogs barking, mouse clicking, mic touching, sheets changing etc. If you are “starring” in the video, no reading please. You shall be telling a great story and I shall see your engagement here. PLUS Watch the video before uploading it and remember that you can record it as many times as you need. You do not have one shot only. What is more you can edit the video, cut it, divide it, it is not live, so use the advantage of it. Please use official English only.

Management Action Plan An action plan is a written strategy used to achieve outlined goals. For the purposes of this assignment, the action plan will be created using PowerPoint.

 An action plan includes the components listed below, and you may refer to pages 229-230 in the textbook for additional guidance. 

1. State the goal, which should identify what training content will be used and how it will be used. a. The goal for this action plan is to assist managers with identifying how performance appraisals are used to demonstrate the success of training efforts. 

2. Include the strategies for reaching the goal including what the trainee must do, what resources will be needed, and the type of support from managers and peers that will be necessary. 

3. Include the strategies for receiving the feedback, which will be used to demonstrate the success of the training efforts. 

4. Define the expected assessment results and how the results can be used to improve training. After the title slide, begin your action plan by stating the goal. Next, identify at least three strategies for reaching the goal.

 Briefly explain your chosen strategies with supporting data in the speaker notes section of the PowerPoint presentation. For the third part of the action plan, develop a 10-question survey that could be used to demonstrate the success of the plan. Conclude your action plan with a summary of the expected results and how the manager could use them to improve training. 

This action plan should contain at least 16 slides. You must use at least two sources with one being the textbook and the other being academic in nature from any database within the CSU Online Library. Be sure to cite and reference sources using proper APA style.

 Here are some general guidelines to follow when preparing your PowerPoint presentation. Design your presentation with the back of the room in mind. It is important that everyone can easily see and read the content. Select a professional-looking slide design appropriate for the presentation and audience. White text on a dark background is the easiest for the audience to see. Use a large font size. Use color and graphics when appropriate. Illustrations should relate to the content being discussed. Be creative. Follow the 6 x 6 rule (i.e., use no more than six lines per slide and no more than six words per line). Utilize the speaker notes function to add your talking points. Bullet points work best on the slides. Add slide transitions to enhance the audience’s experience.

Part 1

1.In your browser, navigate to and read the “Remote Access Policy” template

at https://www.sans.org/information-security-policy/.

education institution.

3. Using your favorite search engine, locate a remote access policy for a

healthcare provider.

Question:

Write a brief summary of the information during your research. In your summary, focus

on the key elements of the remote access policy. You should also identify any unique

elements of remote access policies for higher education and healthcare institutions.

Be sure to provide links to the remote access policies you identified in steps 2 and 3.

Part2

As you found in your research, different industries have similar but different policies. When

using a policy template, it is important to ensure that the template matches the needs of your

specific industry and business.

1. Review the following risks and threats found in the Remote Access Domain:

o The organization is a local credit union that has several branches

and locations throughout the region.

o Online banking and use of the internet are the bank’s strengths,

given its limited human resources.

o The customer service department is the organization’s most critical

business function.

o The organization wants to be in compliance with the Gramm-Leach-

Bliley Act (GLBA) and IT security best practices regarding its

employees.

o The organization wants to monitor and control use of the internet by

implementing content filtering.

o The organization wants to eliminate personal use of organization-

owned IT assets and systems.

o The organization wants to monitor and control use of the e-mail

system by implementing e-mail security controls.

o The organization wants to implement security awareness training

policy mandates for all new hires and existing employees. Policy

definitions are to include GLBA and customer privacy data

requirements, in addition to a mandate for annual security

awareness training for all employees.

Question:

Identify a security control or countermeasure to mitigate each risk and threat identified

in the Remote Access Domain. These security controls or countermeasures will

become the basis of the scope of the Remote Access Domain policy definition to help

mitigate the risks and threats commonly found within the Remote Access Domain.

Covid-19 pandemic has had a profoundly negative impact on the world economy. Millions of jobs has been lost, retail sales have declined, hospitality industry has stopped entertaining, just to name a few. However, on the other hand, e-commerce has been one of the few bright spots in the overall economy, with over-all e-commerce revenue growing 20% in the first quarter of 2020, compared to a 12% gain in the first quarter of 2019.

• Find an article from The Economist (limit your search field within The Economist only); your chosen article must be relevant to subjects of how e-commerce has greatly benefited from changes in consumer behavior due to the pandemic.
• Submit a one to two pages article summary of your chosen article.

The Economist, founded in 1943, is a weekly newspaper read by people internationally. It focuses on current affairs, international business, politics, and technology. You can access it in printed magazine-format or digitally at:

https://www.economist.com/ (Links to an external site.)

When you are at the The Economist website, you may type your search words such as:

• E-commerce
• E-business
• E-commerce and pandemic
• E-commer and Covid-19
• E-business and pandemic
• E-business and Covid-19
• Covid-19 pandemic, etc.

You will find many interesting articles in The Economist. However, you only select one as your chosen article. 

In the first paragraph of your article summary, to let your readers know what they are about to experience or to inform them that they are about to read a summary of an article, you must introduce the following four pieces of information:

• source origin (i.e., The Economist),
• Issue or date of that article published (i.e., January 15, 2019),
• author name (i.e., Moon Ihlwan),
• article title (i.e., “Samsung’s Rise in Digital TV)

Lastly, you should reference your chosen article at the end of your article summary again; either by providing a link to that article or providing that article as an attachment to your article summary.  Because your instructor will read your article before grading your article summary.
