The article on IRB this week 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?

Please make your initial post and two response posts substantive. A substantive post will do at least two of the following:

• Explain, define, or analyze the topic in detail provide an outside source  that applies to the topic, along with additional information about the topic or the source (please cite properly in APA)

 Select three topics of interest and note:

• What you learned about the topic
• Why you selected the topic
• How you will utilize the topic in the future
• Also, write a reflection of the material you’ve learned in the course.  What did you like?  What could be improved?

NOTE: You are required to use at least two-peer reviewed sources (besides your textbook) to answer the above questions.   

The 3 topics are :

 Cloud Computing

Virtualization

Cloud Governance 

• Based on this week’s course objectives of securing resources in a network and describing Firewalls and Host and Intrusion Prevention Systems, discuss if both of these items are necessary for the network. Security networking devices have many advantages in the business environment. Moreover, what are some of these advantages, and from an Information Security perspective, what are some of the standard practices in securing these networks? Describe the significant reasons to secure the Network and protect access to the Web. Feel free to research the internet and provide resource links and APA cited references to support your comments.

Directions

Part I: Complete Your Original Response to the Main Topic

The requirement of this activity for this module is for every student to solve one programming problem from the book, and post the source code in the discussion board for further analysis and discussion. In order to have more diversity of problems from the chapter, each student will select a problem number using the process described below.

Selecting the Problem Number to Use

Consider the following rules in calculating the problem number to solve:

• Divide your student ID by 20, consider the remainder and increment it by 1. The result you obtain represents the number of the programming exercise you will solve for this online discussion.

Posting the Solution

Once you determine the problem number, complete the solution to that problem. When you are satisfied with your solution, click the Reply link below to post in this discussion forum.

• In the first line of your post, your should add the chapter number, problem number, and page number of your problem.
• Your posting must include the source code along with explanations of how you have solved the problem.

Academic Research Team Project Paper

COVID-19 Open Research Dataset Challenge (CORD-19)

An AI challenge with AI2, CZI, MSR, Georgetown, NIH & The White House

(1) FULL-LENGTH PROJECT

Dataset Description

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) research topics and the World Health Organization’s R&D Blueprint for COVID-19.

Many of these questions are suitable for text mining, and we encourage researchers to develop text mining tools to provide insights on these questions.

In this project, you will follow your own interests to create a portfolio worthy single-frame viz or multi-frame data story that will be shared in your presentation. You will use all the skills taught in this course to complete this project step-by-step, with guidance from your instructors along the way. You will first create a project proposal to identify your goals for the project, including the question you wish to answer or explore with data. You will then find data that will provide the information you are seeking. You will then import that data into Tableau and prepare it for analysis. Next, you will create a dashboard that will allow you to explore the data in-depth and identify meaningful insights. You will then give structure to your data story by writing the story arc in narrative form. Finally, you will consult your design checklist to craft the final viz or data story in Tableau. This is your opportunity to show the world what you’re capable of – so think big, and have confidence in your skills!
