The attached article on IRB discusses broad consent under the revised Common Rule. When you are doing any sort of research you are going to need to have your research plan approved by the University’s institutional review board or IRB. If you have never heard of this term before, please take a look online and find a brief summary of what it is about, before you read the article.  

Please answer the following questions in your main post:

• What are the main issues that the article addresses?
• What is the Common Rule?
• How is this issue related to information systems and digital privacy?
• At least one scholarly source should be used in the initial discussion thread. Use proper citations and references in your post. 

The corporate Board of Directors has asked you to provide a portfolio of your research into the expansion of the company into the country you presented on in Wk 4.

Include an overall corporate code of ethics based on your review of professional associations, such as IEEE, ACM, SANS, ISACA, ASIS, and ISC(2). Include the following in your portfolio:

• Based on the ethical challenges identified in Week 4, choose and depict 2 risks to the corporation related to each challenge in a 1-page table using either Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or Excel.
• A 1- to 2-page corporate code of ethics using Microsoft Word based on your review of professional associations, such as IEEE, ACM, SANS, ISACA, ASIS, and ISC(2), and the ethical challenges identified
• A 1- to 2-page concise synopsis of classical ethical theories
• A 1- to 2-page process to logically evaluate ethical dilemmas as they arise with the expansion of the company into the country you have chosen. Ensure that the process reflects the code of ethics you provide; for example, your process could start with identifying which part of the code applies to a particular new dilemma and move through assessing the various choices you could make along with any resulting consequences. The end goal is to help your corporation manage complex ethical questions with a variety of stakeholders.

Question 1: Let G = (V,E) be an undirected graph and s and t be the source and target nodes. Give an efficient algorithm to determine whether the number of minimum s − t cuts in G is at most two. Analyse your algorithm and provide its complexity.

Question 2: Suppose that X is a 2×1 matrix and Y is a 1×2 matrix. Prove that XY is not invertible.

Question 3: Let G = (V,E) be an undirected bipartite graph with parts AandB(V =A∪B,A∩B=∅)andthereisnoedgewithbothendpointsin A or both endpoints in B). Also, let X and Y be two sets of vertices such that X ⊆ A and Y ⊆ B. Suppose that G has two matchings M1 and M2 such that M1 covers all vertices in X and M2 covers all vertices in Y . Prove that G has a matching M such that M covers all vertices in X and Y . (A matching covers a vertex if one of the edges of the matching has that vertex as an endpoint.)

Question 4: Provide a linear program for the following problem:

A factory produces Aluminium plates of a standard width 3meters. But cus- tomers want to buy plates of shorter widths. So, the factory has to cut original 3m plates. One 3m plate can be cut, for instance, into two plates of 93cm width, one plate of width 108cm, and a rest of 6cm (which goes to waste). Suppose that we have the following orders:

• 97 plates of width 135cm • 610 plates of width 108cm

• 395 plates of width 94cm

• 211 plates of width 43cm.

What is the smallest number of 3m plates that have to be cut in order to satisfy this order? how should they be cut? (Hint: there are 12 different ways of cutting a plate into useful subpieces; you’ll need to figure them all out.)

Answering questions

 Discuss the difficulties in measuring the intelligence of machines.

It is Group Project on Topic : Cloud Storage Advantages and Disadvantages

We are planning to write as below sub topic:

1. Introduction 

2. Advantages

3. Disadvantages

4. Future improvements

5. Suggestion and conclusion ( providing sugestion based upon research/ readings and brief conclusion.)

Here I need only 5th topic on suggestion and conclusion 

1. Select one of the three scenarios studied for assignment 7.1. 
2. How would the situation and conclusions change if that scenario were approach from one of the two other methodological approaches than it was.

450 words with intext references and 3 main references

Situation: participating honestly in a conversation in a difficult art succeeding is the sign of a skilful creator of actors knowledge

Methodology approach: Actor’s or System’s approach

Overview:

In the meeting with your executives, your CEO announced that you would need to

prepare a PowerPoint presentation of your department achievements for the last quarter

and present it in front of the hospital’s board of trustees who will be visiting your hospital

by the end of the month.

Instructions:

Based on that information, your IT Director asked you to prepare a 12-15-page

PowerPoint presentation which will take a fifteen-minute time slot where you discuss the

following:

• As you have opted for Windows-based computers, what are the significant

differences between a Mac and a Windows-based computer?

• What are the main differences between the leading operating systems: Windows,

Mac OS, and Linux?

• What are the measures that you are taking to keep computers safe and to avoid

health hazards from computer use?

• Is the hospital safe and immune from online annoyances such as spam and

adware? How can you further secure your system from malware?

• The advantages of your recent implementation of VoIP?

• Describe the improvements you have implemented in the hospital’s customer

relationship management (CRM) and how are you managing your relationship

with your vendors.

• Discuss whether the adoption of a medical expert system could be beneficial to

the doctors at your Hospital.

• Describe how social media can be effectively used as part of the hospital’s web

strategies and improve its position in the market?

Requirements:

• This assignment is a PowerPoint presentation consisting of 12-15 slides, using

APA formatting and citations.

• Include four references.

• Record voice narration and include closed captioning or script saved to the notes

As part of your Vulnerability Management project last week, you analyzed a report on a Windows system within the company network vulnerable to the MS17-010 exploit. That report was created using OpenVAS, a free vulnerability scanner designed to run on Linux operating systems (https://www.openvas.org/). Now that you’ve examined a vulnerability assessment report for a Windows machine, it’s time to see what the same tool produces from a Linux system. OpenVAS was used to scan a Linux machine on the network running the company’s database applications. This machine is using an older version of Linux because the company’s database applications are not supported with the latest Linux shared libraries. This system contains critical data and cannot be taken offline.

Your analysis of these two reports should provide you with a good understanding of the OpenVAS tool and the reports you will encounter in the workplace. The report used for this discussion limits the scope to a single host to allow you to focus on the vulnerabilities you would encounter on a Linux machine in the workplace. You will also be able to compare/contrast the vulnerabilities across the two OS platforms.

You will analyze the results from a commercial VM scanner. You’ll be better prepared to assess the output from the two different vulnerability scanning tools and to form the basis of your recommendation to management.

Review Report of Linux Server (OLD) and answer the following questions in your response:

1. For this Linux system, what do you recommend fixing right away? Are there dangers if the vulnerabilities and associated threats are not fixed?
2. How do you fix the problem(s) identified? Can you defer mitigation for another time? How can the problem(s) be fixed if the system cannot be taken offline?

Judy is considering asking the pen tester to rescan the company systems using the commercial tool, Nessus. The organization has an evaluation version that can be used for 30 days. After that, the company will need to purchase the tool. The cost is significant.

3. Since some machines were already scanned with OpenVAS, should you also consider scanning the same systems with Nessus? Why or why not?
4. Conduct open source research using the internet. Roughly, what is the cost to license Nessus for one year?
