Cyber Security Encryption

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Cyber Security Encryption

An unsecured network poses a risk of internal and external compromises. Users in human resources (HR) typically transmit sensitive information across the network. The network should encrypt HR data in transit. Using the configurations and topology you added to the WLAN Configuration Design Template in Week 3, add security and segregate internal traffic.

Secure the network to:

- Minimize the risk of intrusions
- Identify attempted intrusions
- Limit visibility of HR traffic on the network

Modify the WLAN Configuration Design Template to include:

- Configuration changes to the existing devices
- Introduction of other devices required to meet security objectives

Cyber Security Encryption

Create a 10- to 12-slide Microsoft PowerPoint^® presentation for management to explain from a security standpoint the changes you will make and the reasons for those changes. Ensure you do the following in the presentation:

- Describe basic security concerns as they relate to wireless networks.
- Assess the security vulnerabilities, including active protocols, to the unsecured network.
- Describe your selection of devices added to the network and their role in meeting the security needs of the network to include a justification of the WIPS or WIDS and encryption method selection.
- Determine how new devices changed the network design and affected configuration settings to include sensors used to monitor the network.
- Provide a rationale for your choices.

Cyber Security Encryption

Note: Other applications like Adobe Spark, Microsoft Sway, or Microsoft Office Mix can be used instead of Microsoft PowerPoint. Create a “media-rich” presentation by including voice-overs, graphics, interaction, and other techniques to create a dynamic multimedia presentation. Be sure to include supporting images and appropriate backgrounds and styles. All references must be attributed, cited appropriately throughout the document, and adhere to APA guidelines. Do not copy images unless author permission is obtained or copyright-free images are used. Format any citations according to APA guidelines.

Pharmacy and Dietetics Careers

I’d like you to reflect on the difference and address each of the following questions:

(a) Did this information surprise you or did you already know the difference between the two designations?

(b) Have you or someone close to you had any personal experience with a nutritionist that you now question?

(c) Will you look more closely at what kind of professional endorses the supplements, vitamins, etc. that you consider taking? Feel free to post any other thoughts related to this topic. Responses may be only one paragraph, but no more than two.

Pharmacy and Dietetics Careers

The lecture from our registered dietician touched on the point that a dietician and a nutritionist are very different in terms of their training and educational background. More specifically anyone can call themselves a nutritionist, there is no formal license or standard certification process for this designation. However, as you now know, the path to become a registered dietician is much more complicated and comes with extensive educational, training and licensure/certification requirements. Most people are surprised to find this out! After posting your response, read your peers’ thoughts and reply to at least one classmate. Be sure to review requirements for discussion board posts from the syllabus. Don’t forget to review the rubric prior to writing your post. Use APA referencing style.

Writing Nursing Advocacy Letter

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Writing Nursing Advocacy Letter

Choose a topic that interests you.
If you are unsure what to advocate for or against, look at professional organizations for inspiration:
Look for advocacy groups that are working on the issue. We don’t have to recreate the wheel. See what strategies the advocacy groups are supporting. For example: Brady and Gifford non-profits focus on gun policy.
Decide if you want to make change within an agency, at the local, state or federal level. Find the decision maker appropriate to that level. Click here to find your elected official.
If you are writing to a legislator, look at that person’s website to see their position on the issue. Please do not ‘preach to the choir’—that is, if they already support the issue, it does no good to throw more facts at them.

Writing Nursing Advocacy Letter

If you are addressing a national issue, and your legislator aligns with your proposed action, consider looking at the committee that would hear a bill about your issue.
1. If there is a proposed bill that has not been active, you can ask the chair of the committee to bring it back up in committee.
2. Click here to check for federal bills.
If you are addressing a state issue, the Maryland General Assembly meets January- April of each year.
1. You can see if state bill on your issue was unsuccessful in 2018, and ask your legislator to re-introduce it in 2019.
2. Click here to check for state bills.
For evidence to support your proposed action, use the One Search through HS/HSL for the broadest results. If you are still having trouble finding articles, the premier journal for public health research is called The Nation’s Health.

Writing Nursing Advocacy Letter

Reminders from the rubric:
1. Include your ‘Ask’ clearly and concisely in the first paragraph. In busy offices, staff may not read the entire letter.
2. In the same vein, keep the letter one page. References can be on a second page.
3. Include your credentials. All of you are BSN Candidates (and add whatever other credentials you have). This adds a professional weight to your voice. Use APA referencing style.

Psychology Child Growth & Development

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Psychology Child Growth & Development

Students will write a minimum of a 600-word to identify major developmental milestones of children during the infancy stage in the areas of physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional development and to differentiate typical from atypical development.

Part 1:

Developmental Milestones according to Piaget:

Piaget listed six substages of sensorimotor development during the infancy stage (Reflexes, Primary Circular Reactions, Secondary Circular Reactions, Coordination of Reactions, Tertiary Circular Reactions, and Early Representational Thought). These substages occur during the first two years of life. Name and define in your own words, the six substages of the sensorimotor development, and provide an example of physical development that children achieve during each substage.

Psychology Child Growth & Development

Part 2:

Watch the following YouTube videos. In which ways do they connect with what you have learned during Module 5, 6 and 7 in physical, cognitive and socio-emotional development? try to be as descriptive as possible. When older children are present in the videos, just focus on the infant and their caregiver(s). You must observe and provide information from all three videos. How do these videos reflect infant physical, socxio-emotional and cognitive development?

Part 3:

Observations help us to identify signs of typical and atypical development. Autism is hard to identify during the infancy stage, but children may give us some signs when their development may not be as expected. Explain three signs of atypical development that could lead to autism (that you may keep in mind, when observing infants development).

Psychology Assignment – Psychiatric Diagnosis

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Psychology Assignment – Psychiatric Diagnosis

For this assignment, students will investigate and propose a psychiatric diagnosis based on the case study from the Gorenstein and Comer (2022) textbook Case Studies in Abnormal Psychology, chosen in the Week One “Initial Call” discussion or the Week Two “Initial Assessment” discussion. This paper will include an in-depth overview of the disorder(s) within the diagnosis, treatment options for the diagnosis, and a sound rationale that explains why this diagnosis was made. Note that the diagnosis may include more than one psychiatric disorder. The paper must present a thorough overview of each disorder within the diagnosis. Assume the audience has no prior knowledge of the disorder(s) within the diagnosis, and provide relevant and easy to understand explanations of each for the readers. When writing the paper, it is critical to convey all the necessary information in a straightforward manner using non-technical language. (Reference the Professional Voice and Writing (https://content.bridgepointeducation.com/curriculum/file/742ac0dfff32-43bf-a05f805e3913cbc1/1/Ashford%20Writing%20Center%20Professional%20Writing%20Infographic.pdf) resource provided by the Writing Center for assistance.)

Support the analysis with at least five peer-reviewed sources published within the last ten years in addition to the course text.

Psychology Assignment – Psychiatric Diagnosis

The Psychiatric Diagnosis topical paper must include the following:

Explain psychological concepts in the patient’s presentation using professional terminology. Identify symptoms and behaviors exhibited by the patient in the chosen case study. Match the identified symptoms to potential disorders in the DSM-5-TR diagnostic manual

Propose a diagnosis based on the patient’s symptoms and the criteria listed for the disorder(s) in the DSM-5-TR diagnostic manual. Analyze and explain how the patient meets criteria for the disorder(s) according to the patient’s symptoms and the criteria outlined in the DSM-5-TR diagnostic manual. Justify the use of the chosen DSM-5-TR diagnostic manual (i.e., What evidence supports the validity of this manual? What are limitations of this manual?). Summarize general views of the diagnosis from at least three theoretical orientations (g., cognitive, behavioral, humanistic, biological, sociocultural, evolutionary, psychoanalytic, integrative, etc.). NOTE: Be clear that you are writing about theoretical orientations and using the theoretical orientations to explain the diagnosis. Do not use the theoretical orientations to discuss any therapy or treatment approaches. Your application of the theoretical orientations should answer the question: What causes this diagnosis? For example, “Based on the cognitive perspective, what causes this diagnosis?” “Based on the humanisitic perspective, what causes this diagnosis?” Etc. In addition, you may include a historical perspective on the diagnosis, but this is not required.

Psychology Assignment – Psychiatric Diagnosis

Also note that here you are summarizing views of the overall diagnosis, not specific individual symptoms. Include a discussion on comorbidity if the diagnosis includes more than one disorder. Evaluate symptoms within the context of an appropriate theoretical orientation for this diagnosis (e.g., cognitive, behavioral, humanistic, biological, sociocultural, evolutionary, psychoanalytic, integrative, etc.). NOTE: Here you are evaluating specific symptoms, not the overall diagnosis. Use at least two peer-reviewed articles to assess the validity of this diagnosis, and describe which demographics are at a higher risk of developing the disorder or receiving the diagnosis based on age, gender, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, and ethnicity. Provide a brief evaluation of the scientific merit of these peer-reviewed sources in the validity assessment. Summarize the risk factors (i.e., biological, psychological, environmental, and/or social) for the diagnosis. If one of the categories is not relevant, address this within the summary. Compare evidence-based and non-evidence-based treatment options for the diagnosis. Evaluate well-established treatments for the diagnosis, and describe the likelihood of success or possible outcomes for each treatment. Create an annotated bibliography of five peer-reviewed references published within the last ten years to inform the diagnosis and treatment recommendation.

Psychology Assignment – Psychiatric Diagnosis

The Psychiatric Diagnosis

Must be 8 to 15 double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the UAGC Writing Center (http://writingcenter.uagc.edu/). Must use at least five peer-reviewed sources published within the last 10 years in addition to the course text. Must include a separate annotated bibliography page. Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Writing Center. Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Writing Center.
