Mobile Device Management Discussion
reply to discussion post below:When I first saw Mobile Device Management (MDM), I thought it would only apply to phones and tablets, but now that I see laptops are included, I definitely see the need to have a strong MDM department within any business or large organization. Citrix Endpoint Management (formerly XenMobile as referenced in the CEH book) is cloud-based just like IBM?s MaaS360 management solution but also offers a pay as you use it fee so not only do you not have to buy additional servers or infrastructure, it will also not be a large up front cost as the IT team experiments with and initiates enforcement (Citrix). Using IBM?s or Citrix?s MDM solutions would allow the company to remotely monitor all mobile devices, enforce security settings and requirements on all devices, and if lost or stolen remotely wipe all corporate information to avoid data compromise.I?ve personally seen a couple companies using a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy to allow their remote workers to use their own laptops and phones/tablets to work while at home and when traveling to the office. From what I could tell it was extremely useful because, as stated in CEH and on Citrix?s website, the employees are more productive since they are already comfortable with their own devices and operating systems. To make this work, the employees had to complete training to follow good security practices and keep their corporate information separate from personal information, required VPN?s while teleworking, and allow their device to be remotely monitored in case of loss or compromise. The most difficult part to guard against would be a disgruntled employee or one that was recently fired because it would be difficult to guarantee that the rules were completely followed.Citrix.

Negotiation Response Discussion
Despite which part of the world we live in, you can find men getting higher remunerations than women for comparative occupations. Looking couple of research papers to find why this refinement exists, I found that men are even more prepared to counsel for higher pay that women achieve for comparable positions. When counseling with a female, more men will by and large counsel for higher pay than women do, twofold, believe it or not. As we in general know, when in doubt, women are extraordinary at orchestrating anyway concerning corporate world, more women tend not to counsel for higher pay rates when differentiated and their male accomplices for reasons yet dark. Regardless, the work they do does not change in any way shape or form. Having the capacity of orchestrating is critical for the two individuals and sex can impact these trade’s thriving rate as a result of the by and large various ways individuals approach the said plans. (Thomas, 2015). I have similarly looked couple of speculations that were seen during the time wanting to find how uncommon it is for individuals during the dealings. All that I could find was, more men are glad to exhibit conviction while orchestrating and they pass on that assurance forward paying little regard to the result of one of the trades. Regardless, women get protective when they lose one of the game plans that they were going. Men were for each situation straight forward and need to be steady during the game plans as opposed to getting really included which women did and they in like manner fail to give direct response to the following social event. Regardless, I don’t think there is any qualification in anyone’s organizing aptitudes because of their sexual direction. The centers referenced in this discourse were essentially part of the suggested articles and not my emotions. (Ian and Peter, 1995).
Viruses Malware and Laptop Safety Discussion
reply to discussion below:I’ve personally lost at least 2 laptops to viruses and adware/malware. When I was younger I would always go on sketchy websites trying to find free ways to either watch a show or movie online. In the process I would click away at all the annoying pop-up boxes blocking my view either clicking “yes” or “ok” without knowing what I was really agreeing to. Not knowing I was introducing all sorts of viruses and malware to my laptop. My last computer I had factory reset and even with that and downloading the avast free antivirus ware I wasn’t able to get rid of the virus I acquired somehow. It was only after that, that I learned my lesson. I just recently bought a new laptop once I realized I was going to be starting school again soon, and made sure to download a proper virus,spyware, and malware defense system. Now I have Norton protection which was a little on the pricey side, but I didn’t mind because it is good for one year and I didn’t want to have to go through the expense of buying another laptop, or worse having an issue halfway through school and being without a laptop in an online class. And other than making sure to put a reliable antivirus protection your computers and personal laptops, please make sure to update your laptop. I am guilty of pushing updates off until the last minute, but making sure your antivirus ware updates your computer with all the latest and evolving viruses out there is crucial too.

HU Psychology Inter Rater Reliability Increment Discussion
Inter-Rater Reliability Reliability is very important to consider in research studies. There are many different types of reliability and one type is called inter-rater reliability. Inter-rater reliability studies are often conducted when you have more than one person who will be evaluating and scoring data. If inter-rater reliability is high, then different people are recording approximately the same values for the behavior they are evaluating. Many of you are familiar with Albert Bandura’s Bobo doll experiment in 1961. Bandura was a proponent of the social learning theory. In his experiment, he attempted to determine if children would model aggressive behavior.Let’s say you are planning to conduct a modern-day social learning study and plan to record and rate the aggressive interactions after children have watched acts of violence on television. The potential acts of aggression will be rated from video tapes of the children as they play with a life-sized, blow-up toy. Before you conduct your study, you must train your four research assistants to make sure that they are identifying the same behaviors and end up with the same scores.Create a report with a detailed description explaining how to train the assistants so that they have high inter-rater reliability. Search the South University Online Library to find some inter-rater reliability studies and see if you can get any ideas. Make sure you operationalize aggression before you start to explain your training plan. Be specific about what your research assistants should do to increase the similarity of their rating scores. Submit the reliability training plan for your research assistants.

Child Observation Paper
For this assignment, you will complete an observation of a child between the ages of 1 and 8. You will write a paper which carefully describes the behavior and discusses that behavior in terms of child developmental psychology. You should be an unbiased observer, meaning that you should not interact with the child yourself. Take note of everything the child says and does, everything that is said or done to the child, and the gesture and facial expression he or she makes. Also, do NOT specifically identify the child by name or description of looks, ONLY by gender and age.Prior to the observation, determine at least seven possible behaviors for the age group of the child according to the concepts of the chapter or a theory. Note if the child did or did not assume the characteristics expected of the child?s age group. Don’t be judgmental or condemnatory – just record your observations. Your observation should last about 20 – 30 minutes.Writing Your Child Observation PaperWrite a one paragraph introduction. Include in the introduction a description of the circumstances of the observation such as location, etc. and basic information about the child… age and gender.Select at least three physical attributes and behaviors the child exhibited. Connect it to a concept or theory from the chapters to answer these questions. Was the child’s physical activity/behavior appropriate, in relation to the child’s age? What milestones has this child already reached, and what milestones do they have yet to reach? In a concluding paragraph, summarize your conclusions. Include any factors that may have impacted on the behavior of the child. Include your original rough observation notes at the end of your paper.
