Step-by-Step IT Security Policy The IT security policy is used to determine the procedures and rules for people accessing and utilizing the IT assets and resources of an organization. The purpose of an IT security policy is to preserve the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of systems and information used by members of an organization. For instance, to handle the user accounts or rights for a student who is leaving prematurely in circumstances such as drops or getting expelled, the following step-by-step IT security policy can be used. Scope and accessibility-the scope and accessibility is the first step in this security policy process. The step involves dealing with all the relevant students’ information, the convenience of the networks, and systems. The practice comes before the classification of the individual data as private or public. Data Classification –the step involves the specification of the information. The data can get classified as public or private. Managing data-the management of the data involves ensuring that an individual handles secure data for classification. Management of Context– the step involves addressing all the needed context Supporting…
The Silk Road The Silk Road was a trade route network that acted as a physical connection between the East and West. The trade route had cultural, religious, and political benefits to the regions which were experienced between the Second Century (BCE) to the 18th Century[1]. The Silk Road was a land route that connected both East Asia and South East Asia with South Asia, East Africa, Persia, the Arabian Peninsula, and Southern Europe[2]. Its name is derived from the lucrative trade in Silk, which was the main trade commodity at the time for the Chinese. The trade began in the First Century in Han Dynasty China, which was later expanded to Central Asia and led to the Chinese Imperial envoy known as Zhang Qian being explored. Some of the most significant features of the route included the extension of the Great Wall of China as a security measure for the Chinese trade products. Trade along the Silk Road trade was vital to the development of the civilizations of Korea, Japan, Iran, India as a continent, Europe, Arabia, Horn of…
Iran and Nuclear Proliferation Nuclear weapons are hazardous and, therefore, calls for the need to have regulation in place to protect the countries without the capability to have them. It becomes a violation of international justice when some of the countries with nuclear capabilities continue to make them. In as much as this is known, some countries have the ability to manufacture nuclear weapons and threaten to use them. Eight sovereign states have freely reported the fruitful explosion of atomic weapons. Five are viewed as nuclear-weapon states (NWS) under the particulars of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). Arranged by obtaining nuclear weapons, these are the United States, Russia (the successor state to the Soviet Union), the United Kingdom, France, and China. This is not fair to the weak countries, and hence at times, they are permitted to use and manufacture nuclear weapons to strengthen and defend themselves (Shellenberger, 2018). In as much as this is so, some of the small countries such as Iran tend to violate the nuclear Treaty by threatening to use and attack…
Impacts of Ocean Acidification in the Arctic The changes in the atmospheric composition and the overall evolution of man and the earth have seen the merging of the two tighter every time. Humans are as dependent on the environment as the environment is dependent on humans. The atmospheric state has gradually been on a decline in terms of stability and safety. A lot of human activities seem to be destroying the natural balance on earth, resulting in detrimental atmospheric related calamities and losses. The relationship between the environmental systems and social systems has shifted for the worst due to global warming, which threatens extinction for humans and the destruction of the environment. Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration has steadily been on the rise in the past few years, resulting in atmospheric warming. The high saturation of CO2 is a senior contributor to acidification in the world’s oceans. The primary victim of these devastating effects is the Arctic Ocean, where marine life faces challenges and consequences of our choices as humans (Cross et al., 2018). The phenomena occur when the top…
Thomas fire Thomas fire started December 4, 2017, and burned for forty days. It destroyed 281,893 acres of land in California, consumed structures of more than one thousand, consumed many homes and killed seventeen people. More than a hundred thousand people were forced to vacate their homes. The cause of the fire was a tire that blew apart on the pavement of the state route 299 as a couple dragged the tire sparks arced from the steel rim and reached the grass and shrubs that were nearby. These ignited the fire which then spread to the Whiskey town National Recreation Area. Several criminal violations by Edison were also linked with the fire; like arson, murder and a health care code breach. There were failures of planning that led to the fire in Carolina. Inaccurate estimation of cost is one of the shortcomings of planning. A project proceeds with more than general opinion. Everything needs to be budgeted for. The kind of resources required for the project to start should be enough and the money to purchase them should also be…
‘NO Country for Old’ men by McCarty Chapter four of the ‘NO Country for Old’ men by McCarty comprise of two sections. The first section is when Bell recalls when he became a county sheriff aged twenty-five with a wife whom they have been in the marriage for thirty-one years. The couple had a daughter who is dead now, and he is not going to talk about it. He appreciates the role that her wife has played in his life. The second section is when Wendell and Bell are inspecting Moss’s trailer and finds the trailer’s door lock broken and together leave the scene in a hurry. Sanderson’s case becomes big news and draws both the law enforcement and the journalists alike to the scene of the crime. The dead bodies and the short up trucks found in the desert are examined by Macintyre, who is a DEA agent alongside Bell and Wendell. They discover that one of the shots up trucks must have had Mexican cocaine. After picking up his transponder, Chigurh is notified of his briefcase in Del…
Managing Human Resources Projects Some of the risks planned for do happen just like in the scenario described. Dealing with over budget and behind schedule, risks would first require a sit down with the project team to discuss the “why” and get to the problem’s root cause. This will need undivided attention to the project’s Gantt chart establishing the project status in terms of actual dates and completion estimations. The second step will involve determining if: changing the process and the structure would save the project, and if adding more resources would be helpful. This will enable the weighing of benefits to costs. Thirdly, if the verdict is to keep the project alive, then the next step will be juggling resource utilization. Like the chess board game, the project manager can go around priorities to cover up for inconsistencies that will be in the project schedule. The fourth step involves the process of cutting and shifting costs. First, the project manager should have a list of key activities written. The project manager will then identify where costs can be substituted…
PUBLIC HEALTH PARTNERSHIPARE IMPORTANT TOOL FOR STRETCHING LIMITED RESOURCES. Partnership refers to a relationship whereby two or more persons come together to carry out their trade or business jointly while sharing business ownership. Each partner contributes a given agreed resources which maybe skills, money, labor or property while in return sharing profits and loss of the business. Sharing of resources and increased market share led many organizations to opt to go for partnership rather than running businesses on their own. This has been also experienced in the public where by businesses partner with public health organizations. It has been observed as a significant tool for stretching limited resources like space of operation, labor and other resources with an aim of increasing their level of operations in terms of serving more patients and to ensure increased efficiency and effectiveness in their operations. The main significant of partnership include ; being relatively easy to establish, there is increased ability in raising funds compared to when the single business person operates on his own, there is a wider pool of resources in terms…
Is there any such thing as innate ideas, or is our mind a tabula rasa when we are born? The term tabula was used in the epistemological theory to mean ‘blank slate.’ The theory argued that a human being is born having no integral concepts. Instead, the theory posits that an individual’s knowledge is obtained from perception as well as experience. Tabula rasa theory was advocated for by Locke. On the contrary, Hume argues that you cannot use deduction to prove the process of induction, ‘problem of induction.’ This indicates that issues of facts need sense experience known. This essay, therefore, intends to defend the argument of Hume’s by demonstrating that the rationalist reasoning for innate ideas was incomplete. Hume‘s evaluation of humankind’s belief starts with cautious distinction on the content in our minds; simple imprints are the straight, intense, and powerful results of instantaneous experiences, such as colors, shapes, and smells. These then form complex concepts or ideas, which are simply imitations of these first impressions combined to form an abstract concept. For instance, the color that is a given object…
understanding the decimating effect of factory farming on our natural resources As I was scrolling through Netflix one night recently, looking for the next binge-worthy series to watch, this unassuming documentary caught my eye. The description merely stated ‘understanding the decimating effect of factory farming on our natural resources — and why haven’t human beings seen the effect.’ As a student studying climate change and a keen advocate of sustainability, I was naturally intrigued. But I was not prepared for the hard-hitting truths that this documentary shed light on. The effect of human activities on natural resources has been significant concern over the years. Human beings have concentrated on promoting convenience. They have, however, forgotten to enhance their well-being. The use of factory farming methods has transformed the agricultural industry. The use of such methods involves chemicals and machinery that have a significant adverse effect on the environment. The distraction of the ecosystem through environmental pollution is a threat to human life. The movie mentioned above demonstrates the impact of factory farming methods on the environment. I was already aware…
