(If you aren’t currently employed in this type of setting, you may create one for a hypothetical workplace, your child’s school, or local community center). I would like this newsletter to have practical application for you. Hopefully you will be able to use it to provide a…

  Database issues – identifying causes and solutions Student name: Professor name: University: Database issues – identifying causes and solutions We all have that experience of witnessing how the computer can make our life’s journey tough at times. It happens, especially in knowledge workplaces. As a developer, the task given on an already existing code, one can experience various challenges. Usually, one can normally face confusing triggers, functions, constraints, stored processes, tables, columns, values, and views. Once it gets into the notice, there are various ways through which one can overcome the challenges faced by the developers in the knowledge-centric workplaces. Common problems of database design There are some common problems in the database design, which include the following factors: Ignorance of the purpose of data: Data is collected and stored so that it can be consumed later. The aim is to retrieve the information in the most efficient way. To accomplish this aspect, the designer of the database should know the representation of data and the way to acquire it (Ishii & Komukai, 2016). Bad Normalization: Database designers might…

The Skinny on Obesity Pediatric Endocrinologist Dr Robert Lustig of the University of California gives an alternative view to the Obesity pandemic currently ravaging the American public in a 7 part TV series titled ‘The Skinny on Obesity’ on UCTV Prime. This essay gives a summary of his view on each episode. In episode one titled “An Epidemic for Every Body”, Dr Lustig explains that the 1970s the US Food and Drug Administration began a push to ensure a reduction in the American public’s consumption of fats and oils in a bid to control calorie intakes. Americans responded to the policy and food manufacturers complied, creating the low-fat movement, however, this drop in fat consumption came hand in hand with an alarming increase in sugar consumption. Nutritionally, this was simply substituting one obesity causing agent for another. In the second episode, titled “Sickeningly Sweet” Dr Lustig and Elissa Epel of the Center for Obesity Assessment, Study & Treatment, University of California weighed in on the role of sugar in food and nature. Dr Lustig points out that sugar is composed…

Fighting Back Against Obesity According to some research, it is estimated that 60 million adults American are currently considered to be obese, while approximately 9 million are deemed to be severely obese. However, some studies approximated that American children from different age perspectives are considered obese. Children ranging from 6 to 11 years old are 15.3 percent, while 12 to 19 years old are presumed to be 15.5 percent. These statistics have presently attained considerable growth due to the increase in diseases and food-related health problems, which have evolved over decades. My primary research further reflects that America is suffering from some crisis, especially when health and food are involved in the issue. My research questions will be posed into two parts, which will be about the necessary procedures that should be undertaken to curb the obesity crisis. The primary questions involve, how can a family of four people with limited income conquer the statistics and work towards becoming healthier? And How the family would fight against obesity? My support thesis would be further aimed at viewing the possibility of…

Types of Encryption Software Introduction: Data security nowadays is a significant cause of concern for both private individuals and businesses, as the most commonly stolen item in the cyber world is data. For a private individual, the impact of data-stealing is mostly personal, but for a business, data-stealing results in the compromise of essential company data, which may end up impacting the business processes and its overall reputation. To prevent this, various encryption algorithms are available to keep the unauthorized third party away from essential user data. Each of them has its own set of improvements over one another and is usually an improvement over an already existing older algorithm Types of encryption algorithms: Depending on the type of data, organization, functionality and other factors, different types of encryption algorithms are available. While some may be free in public domain and commonly used, others might not be so much readily available. Some of them are discussed below. AES: Advanced Encryption Software or AES is an encryption algorithm which is used in the field of advanced computing. AES is generally available…

  Information System Security How are you doing in keeping your information secure? Information in our computers and electronic devices are usually vulnerable to threats as the privacy may be breached. As such, some safety practices can be put in place to make sure that information access across all the devices is secure. First, being smart with our connections plays a vital role in the security of information as being spied by someone using the same connection in a public place is a possibility. As such, access to data like financial transactions or even personal data should be avoided while we are connected to public WI-FI hotspots. Connecting of flash disks in the computers before scrutiny with the security soft wares should also be avoided, so that safe connection practices are adhered to. Backing up of data is also a safe step to securing information as soft wares can be reinstalled, but data loss irreversibly as such, finding a proper data backup plan, for example, the iCloud backups, help secure information. In the case of data loss, which may be…

Network Packet Forensics The default methods of capturing IP addresses is the lipcap(pcap) format. Through a binary format, the libcap(pcap) format captures details including time and duration of logins. Through a magic number system, the network packet forensics can provide particular information, including the identity of a file, the author and the IP address the document originated (Sikos, 2020). The benefits of network packet forensics are offloading of unnecessary hardware and software processing capabilities, and allocating the power to alternative functions. For example, FortiASIC NP6 as a network packet forensics program reduces the processing that goes to wastage, hence offering IPv4 and IPv6 traffic additional functioning capacity. Forensics analytics network packets are conducted when a gadget is online, to capture live address, subnet mask and packet filter binary data (Sikos, 2020). As such, network packet forensics offers programmed functions that allow to access deleted content, construct an image from destroyed bits of information and provide location data based on IP addresses of retrieved documents. In the year 2000, EtherApe a programme innovated by Toledo offered network packet forensics techniques over…

Cholesterol homeostasis Frequent mutations in cholesterol are plays a vital role in the HDL homeostasis. During the maturation of HDL, discoidal pre-HDL is converted into spherical HDL through LCAT conversation that is m catalyzed by cholesterol conversation to cholesteryl esters. Amino acid LCAT protein is synthesized in the liver and then excreted into circulation where it exists in the forms of free and bound lipids. LCAT, HDL particles generates a cholesterol esters by defining the 2-acyl group of lecithin transfer to the hydroxyl group of cholesterol. LCAT can esterify the LDL cholesterol but HDL has the presence of ApoaA1 and therefore it is the preferred lipoprotein. Cholesterol esters are more free and hydrophobic and accumulate at the center of the HDL particles a resulting in change of the geometry from discoidal to spherical. This process is essential for the efflux of cholesterol since it helps in the maintenances of concentration gradient enhancing free cholesterol addition to lipoproteins inclusive of HDL. In humans, familial LCAT deficiency is caused by inactivating mutations of LCAT . It is characterized by serious corneal opacification,…

dramatic increase in obesity in the United States (US) There has been a dramatic increase in obesity in the United States (US) parallel to the prevalence of consumption of fast food. Obesity is the state of having a “weight that is higher than what is considered as a healthy weight for a given height” (CDC). Before the advent of the fast-food industry, adults consumed foods low in calories and had better overall health. The consumption of fast food has become the norm propelled by popular media. People are now less conscious of the food choices they make. Many choose to dine out with friends at fast-food restaurants regularly instead of preparing healthy meals at home. Favorite items in fast-food outlet menus are French fries, fried chicken, hamburgers, pizza, tacos, ice cream, and hot dogs. This essay will show the linkage between obesity and fast food consumption in the US. Most American families have forgotten the dinner table experience of eating meals cooked at home. Anxiety has increased in society, and many people are living ever-busy lives juggling between many tasks,…

Personal Professional Goals        While in high school, my teacher frequently reminded me that education was the key to success, and if I would succeed in it should use it to help others. I was born in Snohomish, characterized by mixed socioeconomic culture due to the large population. Nonetheless, my parents managed to work relentlessly to ensure that I continue with my studies. It has always been my wish to transform my community, which has motivated me to utilize my education opportunity to achieve that dream. Hence, I strive to attain a doctoral degree in business management, which has been my professional goal. On that account, I developed my interest in the business from my own experience, being surrounded by both poor and rich people and generally raised in a business-oriented community. Inversely, some of my colleagues dropped out of school due to lack of school fees or to look after their ailing parents who could not afford medical treatments. Concurrently, my family slept hungry several times to save money for my education. Eventually, I believe one day, I will…
