A virtual data room A virtual data room is an online library used to store and distribute information. The administrator of the data rooms is required to organize, share, and track the movement of each document when necessary. VRDs are used in the execution of complex projects. Such projects are implemented by a prominent team that requires specific information to ease the implementation process. The VRDs administrator shares and distributes information to various teams and, at the same time, ensure that confidential information does not fall on third party hands. In today’s business setting, VRDs are used to share sensitive information such as financial documentation, case files for litigation, and intellectual property, among others. On the other hand, the administrators of the system can view who accessed a particular document, and when he did it. Besides offering high-end security to data, this system is beneficial in making crucial business decisions. Why Do You Need VRD? The key benefit of this system is state of the art security to confidential information. You will have peace of mind knowing that unauthorized people…

data levels of measurements for quantitative data Quantitative data is defined as the value of data that is identified numerically in numbers and counts where every data-set is recognized to have a unique numerical value that is in association (Abulela and Harwell, 2020). Quantitative data can be quantifiable, and the information is primarily used for statistical analysis to make real-life decisions based on developed mathematical derivation. Some of the popular questions that are answered by the use of quantitative data re how often? How many? How much? Qualitative data is primarily collected by the use of questionnaires, surveys, and polls on an identified population. There are four data levels of measurements for quantitative data. Researchers pick on their preferred level of measurement for the data based on the available data for analysis. The nominal level of measurement is the first level of measurement on quantitative data. In this level of measures, researchers are allowed to use letter words and alpha-numeric symbols to undertake the analysis (Vinik et al., 2016). In this level of measurements, values that are often identified are…

Internet Access in Rural Areas Why do we need to provide internet to rural areas? Provide a reason from the viewpoint of equity. Rural dwellers who do not have the internet cannot access jobs, opportunities, information, education, and public participation opportunities that are afforded to those living in urban areas enhancing inequality already experienced. One hundred sixty-three million Americans do not have access to the internet according to data from Microsoft. Most of these people live in rural areas in the inner cities where they are already disadvantaged. Provide a reason from the viewpoint of positive externalities. Improved internet access by rural individuals will increase literacy rates for people in the areas and as a consequence, reduce crime. It will also increase the accountability of state and municipal officials by allowing their rural population to communicate easier with their officials. This will undoubtedly result in increased efficiency of service delivery and promote good governance. Choose one ‘command and control’ and one ‘market based’ policy among their proposal in the ‘Key initiatives’ column on the right. Briefly explain why you made…
Cell Phone tracking Introduction Identifying the location of a cell phone device is arguably an important aspect. By the use of GPS-enabled cell phones, companies can monitor their employees if they are at the right place at the right time, parents can identify the safety of their children, movement of vehicles of either suspects or businesses can be tracked, among many other vital scenarios. Nonetheless, several ethical concerns are being raised regarding cell phone tracking. Controversial arguments have ensued whether the act is ethical or unethical with other scholars, arguing it violates the tracked person’s freedom. For instance, in the U.S. Supreme Court judges in a case ruled that attaching a GPS (Geographical Position System) device to a suspect’s vehicle without a warrant violates the suspect’s rights. This paper gives explores the use of GPS, its negatives and positives, and the ethics surrounding the issue. The paper argues against the use of the devices as the privacy of individuals outweighs all the positives of the GPS device. The article mainly focuses on the works of Adam Moore, who contends that…
COMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS Computer technology has now become a reality in the modern world and is being used as a tool for enhancing efficiency and resolving complexity in clinical practices. The health sector has benefited from this computer revolution since there is easy access to information, improving documentation, and reducing health costs. However, most of the nurses are familiar with computer information systems, and they may not have adequate confidence in using the computer-related methods in their clinical practices. The nursing professionals have not yet updated themselves with the technology that led to poor health services, poor documentation of records, and delay in clinical researches. Many nurses are running managing heath with old equipment due to a lack of training in computerized systems.

Electronic devices such as laptops and cellphones is destructive to students’ ability to concentrate while in classrooms. There are some students who can claim that they can multi task although there are less chances of completing particular tasks. There are several pieces of research to prove the negative effect of utilizing technological devices in classroom. There is one research indicating that smart phones reduces ones thinking capability. Scientists claim that divided attention causes one to recall less; a concept psychologically termed as retention. The ability for a student to remember less, eventually causes performance in exams. Dr. Arnold Glass, who is a professor and researcher at Rutgers University, is concerned about the impact that technology has on classrooms even after been initially optimistic. Further research as published in the Educational Psychology Journal, shows that students utilizing cell phones and laptops eventually scored low grades. The students who were in the same class as those using the devices also scored low…
