Dissertation – Journal Reflection on Topic Ideas

Note : Please read and write homework 1 and 2

Home work:1

 Share your topic idea(s) here. Here are some things to consider:

  1. Identify a topic in your specialization. (For IT students, Information Technology is not a topic, however, Millennial’s perceptions of smart phone technology could be a topic. These are examples).  
  2. What is the cited problem? The problem you want to address has to come from the literature, and be cited, who are saying there are problems.
  3. What is the population you would like to address?
  4. What methodology are you planning on using? (If you are unsure, do you plan on a quantitative or qualitative study?  You will determine your methodology in 839).
  5. Locate at least one article related to your topic. What was the research question in the study? Who were the participants in the study? What findings were reported?

Share your topic idea(s) by going to the “Week 1 Assignment – Journal Reflection on Topic Ideas” link above. 

Homework 2:Please fill attached timeline and I will fill up dates 

Completion of the dissertation primarily rests upon you, the doctoral student. However, research indicates that self-regulated learning strategies predict the elapsed time along the dissertation journey (Dunn & Rakes, 2015; Kelley & Salisbury-Glennon, 2016). One such strategy is the creation of a timeline. This cyclical process has the learner plan out a task, monitor their performance along major milestones, reflect on their progress, and then use the reflection to adjust the timeline. However, to be effective, this strategy needs to be personalized for each learner’s purpose (Zimmerman, 2002).

Using the attached template as a guide, you are to create such a timeline – a roadmap, if you will, along your dissertation journey. Incorporated within the timeline are major milestones. Build into the timeline goals for each milestone with specific dates. You may also want to include specific contact information as well as possible obstacles that may arise. This will be a tool you will bring to each consultation with your professor/chair. Most importantly, it is to be a useable point of reference along your dissertation journey.

Research questions – qualitative

  

Topic: Enhancing Cyber Security In Healthcare -With The Help Of Machine Learning

Questions

What kind of study has been done on machine learning’s application in healthcare?

What are the primary areas of machine learning’s benefits in terms of healthcare security?

What role does machine learning play in improving patient outcomes?

Who is making use of machine learning?

When and how does machine learning come into play?

Overview: Using the topic and research question above, you will design a qualitative instrument that could potentially answer your topic/research question if it were to be applied to a qualitative study. Keep in mind, this may take some stretching if you wrote your question leaning quantitatively. The purpose here is not to box you in but to ensure that you have a solid understanding of both methodologies.

Directions:

Your research question in the form of a qualitative question (if it was not already).

An instrument or protocol (interview, ethnography, focus group protocol, etc) that could be used to answer the qualitative version of your research question.

A one paragraph description/justification of how your chosen instrument/protocol is the best choice for answering the qualitative version of your research question.

500 words. APA format required with references.

blockchain devlopment

 

choose two aspects of enterprise blockchain governance presented in chapter 10 and describe how you think each one could help govern a blockchain environment (and how it differs from a traditional application environment.) Then think of three questions you’d like to ask.

choose a security threat from Chapter 11. Then describe the impact of the chosen threat if it would be realized in a blockchain environment, and what you can do to mitigate the threat. Then think of three questions you’d like to ask 

personas

 

Objective: System Design / User requirements will be conducted using the persona template found in the Ch. 10-Personas slides (Ch10-Personas.pdf

Actions) to create 2 distinct personas. When designing systems, it is important to give conscientious thought to who your users are and how they will use the system. In particular, you will want to pay attention to the new functionality / design that your users will interact with. Although the template provided is available, feel free to use your own creativity in this space and you are not required to go with this format.

Format: MS Word Document with embedded personas and short descriptions for each persona.  (Links to an external site.)

Note: Single PowerPoint slides can be exported as JPG/PNG, which are easily uploaded to CI Learn. Feel free to use https://xtensio.com/user-persona/ (Links to an external site.) or the included template (Files -> Term Project -> Requirements

Actions Gathering) to create your personas. 

Tips

Tip 1: Constructing personas is a requirements gathering exercise, similar to Blog 2. Meaning, you want to identify who your users are, what their needs are and how your design can satisfy those needs.

Tip 2: Identify 2 different types of users for your system. My goal is to redesign SocialXYZ, so I might create a persona to represent a Student and another to represent an Instructor. I do this because these two users will likely have different needs for my system.

Tip 3: Make your personas as close to your target demographic as possible. Remember, the persona is not a single user but an archetype, or representation of many users who share similar needs. In my case, I might want to target a traditional college junior, who I named Mack Stringer, who is 21, lives on campus and is a Computer Science major. 

Tip 3: Next, you will want to flesh out your persona so it appears as a generalized, but specific user of your system, with goals and background information that directly link to the goals and background of your system. For example, Mack, may use social networking technologies such as Facebook, Instagram and Snap, but has never used them for professional or academic reasons. However, Mack sees that it may be useful to find other users who are working part-time and are CS majors. Therefore, he might want to use SocialXYZ to initiate study groups or attend CS seminars. 

Tip 4: The final Box, labelled Project Goals, are specific design considerations you make that meet the needs of your persona. In my example, I want to redesign SocialXYZ to incorporate geolocation services to allow Mack to locate other CS majors on campus.

Project Description:

You work for a clothing distributor that has locations in Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. You will use date and logical functions to complete the main employee data set, use database functions to calculate key summary statistics and create a map, and use financial functions to complete a loan amortization table.

     

Start Excel. Download and open   the file named Exp22_Excel_Ch07_ML2_Employees.xlsx.   Grader has automatically added your last name to the beginning of the   filename.

 

Column D contains the city each   employee works in. You want to display the state.
 

  Make sure the Data worksheet is active. In cell G7, insert the SWITCH   function to evaluate the city stored in cell D7. In this sequence, switch Des Moines for Iowa, St. Paul for Minnesota, and Milwaukee for Wisconsin. Use mixed   references for the state names in the range A2:A4. Copy the function from   cell G7 to the range G8:G31.

 

Column C contains the actual   hire dates for the employees. You want to extract only the year in column H.
 

  In cell H7, insert the YEAR function to extract the year from the Hire Date   in cell C7. Copy the function from cell H7 to the range H8:H31.

 

Next, you want to determine how   many years each employee has worked for the company.
 

  In cell I7, insert the YEARFRAC function to calculate the years between the   first employee’s Hire Date and the last day of the year contained in cell C2.   Use a mixed reference appropriately. Copy the function from cell I7 to the   range I8:I31.

 

You want to determine what day   of the week each employee was hired.
 

  In cell J7, insert the WEEKDAY function to display the day of the week for   the first employee’s Hire Date. Copy the function from cell J7 to the range   J8:J31.

 

The values returned in the range J7:J31 are whole numbers. You want   to display the result as the actual weekday names.
 

  Format the range J7:J31 as a custom number format dddd.

 

Employees are scheduled for a   six-month review based on their hiring month.
 

  In cell K7, insert the EDATE function to identify the month that is six   months from the first employee’s Hire Date. Copy the function to the range   K8:K31.

 

Your next task is to calculate the bonus for the first employee. If   the employee’s Performance Score is greater than or equal to 4.5, the bonus   is $3,000. If the Performance Score is 4.0-4.9, the bonus is $2,000. If the   Performance Score is 3.0-3.9, the bonus is $1,000. No bonus is given if the   Performance Score is below 3.0.
 

  In cell L7, insert the IFS function to enter the bonus based on the   Performance Score for the first employee. Use the respective scores stored in   cells E2, E3, and E4 for the individual logical tests. Use the respective   bonuses in cells F2, F3, and F4 to return the correct bonus. If none of the   logical tests are true, the result should be 0. Use mixed references appropriately. Copy the function to the range   L8:L31.

 

Management decided to give an   equity salary adjustment for Representatives who earn less than $80,000. The   salary adjustment is 2% of the current salary if the conditions are met.
 

  In cell M7, nest an AND function within an IF function. If the job title is Representative   and the salary   is less than the minimum representative salary (cell C3), multiply the Salary   by 2% (cell C4). If both conditions are not met, return zero. Use a mixed   reference to cells C3 and C4. Copy the function from cell M7 to the range   M8:M31.

 

The last column of the Data   worksheet is to to calculate the future value of a retirement investment   based on the first employee’s salary, 5% APR, four years, at 3%.
 

  In cell N7, insert the FV function. Use the variables in the range N2:N4 in   the FV arguments. The rate is the APR divided by 12 months in a year, and the   number of payment periods is the number of years multiplied by 12 months in a   year. Use mixed cell references appropriately. Make sure the functions   returns a positive result. Copy the function to the range N8:N31.

 

You want to display the number   of employees who earned each bonus level in the range G2:G4.
 

  In cell G2, insert the COUNTIF function that counts the number of $3,000   bonuses in the range L7:L31 using mixed references. Use the bonus in cell F2   as the criteria. Copy the function to the range G3:G4 and preserve the border   in cell G4.

 

Next, you want to calculate the   total bonuses.
 

  In cell H2, insert the SUMIF function that calculates the total of the $3,000   bonuses in the range L7:L31 using mixed references. Use the bonus in cell F2   as the criteria. Copy the function to the range H3:H4 and preserve the border   in cell H4.

 

Next, you want to calculate the   average salary for representatives by city.
 

  In cell J2, insert the AVERAGEIFS function to calculate the average salary   (range E7:E31) for employees with the job title Representative who work in St. Paul. Use cell   I2 as the criteria for the City. Copy the function to the range J3:J4 and   preserve the border in cell J4.

 

Now you want to calculate the highest salary for representatives in   each city.
 

  In cell K2, insert the MAXIFS function to display the highest salary for   employees with the job title Representative who work in St. Paul. Use cell I2 as the criteria for the City. Copy   the function to the range K3:K4 and preserve the border in cell K4.

 

Now you want to calculate the   lowest salary for representatives in each city.
 

  In cell L2, insert the MINIFS function to display the highest salary for   employees with the job title Representative who work in St. Paul. Use cell I2 as the criteria   for the City. Copy the function to the range L3:L4 and preserve the border in   cell L4.

 

The Map worksheet contains the   average representative salary by state. You will create a map from this data.
 

  Select the range B1:C4 and insert a filled map. Cut the map chart and paste   it in cell D1. Set a 2.75″ height and 4″ width.

 

Now you will complete the map by   adding a title and formatting the data series.
 

  Change the map title to Average Rep Salary. Display the Format Data Series task pane, select   the option to display only regions with data, and show all labels. Close the   task pane.

 

The Days Hours worksheet   contains a list of starting and stopping days that employees took vacations.   You want to count the number of actual work days on vacation.
 

  In cell D4, insert the NETWORKDAYS function to calculate the number of   working days between the vacation start and end dates. Use 7/4/2024 (cell C1)   as a holiday. Copy the function to the range D5:D12.

 

The next section of the Days   Hours worksheet contains the start and stop times that employees worked on a   special project. You want to calculate the number of hours worked.
 

  In cell H4, insert the HOUR function to calculate hours difference between   the end and start times. Copy the function to the range H5:H12.

 

To complete the worksheet, you   will calculate the difference in minutes between the start and stop times on   the special project.
 

  In cell I4, insert the MINUTE function to calculate minutes difference   between the end and start times. Copy the function to the range I5:I12.
