Description
Assessment Description
Cloud services are becoming a major concern in cybersecurity.
Assignment:
Discuss how redefined policies will create terms of service with all cloud service providers to ensure that
company information and activities are protected with the same degree of security a company would intend to
provide on its own.
Research remote workspace policies. Based on your research findings, write a 250-500-word lab report.
Description
Assessment Description
The remote workplace has become common throughout all industries, and this aspect of the infrastructure
represents another challenge for cybersecurity professionals. Remote work often requires that current security
policies be adjusted to accommodate remote workers. This remote working aspect is another scenario that will
prompt IT and cybersecurity professionals to review cyber policies and ensure all principles are applicable.
Assignment:
Research remote workspace policies. Based on your research findings, write a 250-500-word lab report. The
report should focus on cybersecurity issues related to remote work and be designed for upper management not
directly affiliated with information technology.
The report should address the following:
• Describe eight security failures.
• Relate the security failures to the principles of cybersecurity (CIA triad).
• Explain specific design principles that have been violated.
• Recommend the design principles needed for remote workers.
Support your report with a minimum of three scholarly resources
Explain in your words the concept of the p-value in hypothesis testing, how it is used and what is its limitation.
Case study 2: Entrepreneurship intention
E. R. Thompson (2009) development an internationally reliable measurement scale for entrepreneurship intention based on the following instrument:
Item Statement 1. Very untrue 2. 3. 4. 5. Very true
1 I intend to set up a company in the future
2 I always search for business start-up opportunities
3 I read books on how to set up a firm
4 I have plans to launch my own business
5 I save money to start a business
6 I spend time learning about starting a firm
There are two objectives for this study.
Objective 1: To test if the average entrepreneurship intention score is different between the two types of students, those who studied for an entrepreneurship module and those who didn’t.
Objective 2 To test if the university department they studied at has an effect on the average score for entrepreneurship intention.
The instrument above was a given to a random sample of students from London Met. Some of the students have done modules related to entrepreneurship and other did not. These students are indicated by (1=Yes, if they did receive an emtrepreneurship module) and (0=No, if they didn’t). These students were further split by departments (1=GSBL, 2=CDM, and 3=CASS) where they studied. We have only considered these 3 schools.
The data is collated in an SPSS and Jamovi file named “Entrepreneurship”. The variable “Intention” is the total score of the six items in the instrument above.
Required: For this case study, you are asked to produce the following tasks:
Produce the descriptive statistics for the entrepreneurship intention scores split by the two groups of students, those who studied for an entrepreneurship module and those who didn’t and test the normality and the homogeneity of variance assumptions. Report your findings.
[Max: 50 words]
Test if the average scores for entrepreneurship intention are significantly different and report your findings. [Max: 50 words]
Test if the university department has an effect on the average score for entrepreneurship
intention and report your findings. [Max: 50 words]
General question: Explain in your words the concept of the p-value in hypothesis testing, how
it is used and what is its limitation. [Max: 100 words]
All hypotheses and SPSS or Jamovi output are made available in the appendix. Your reports need to be clearly evidenced by the appropriate output for your work. The reports should follow the classic research style adopted during our online classes and word count does not include the output. For full marks, you should clearly state the hypotheses for each test.
Explain clearly and in your own words the reason for conducting a hypothesis test instead of simply comparing sample statistics of RQ2 above.
Case study 1: Amazon Fresh
The new Amazon Till-Less shop (Amazon Fresh) has just opened in London. It offers a shopping experience without the use of a till for payment. A study with an objective to examine the level of take-up for shopping Till-Less was conducted and has set the following research questions:
RQ1: Is the proportion of people who consider shopping at Amazon Fresh greater than 50%?
RQ2: Is the proportion of people who consider shopping at Amazon Fresh different between those who are comfortable with mobile technology and those who are not?
A simple random survey, conducted among shoppers at a traditional food supermarket, used an instrument in which the following two questions are of interest for this study.
Question 1: Are you comfortable with mobile technology?
0. No 1. Yes
Question 2: Would you consider shopping at AMAZON Fresh?
No 1. Yes
The dataset for this survey is collated in the SPSS and Jamovi files “Amazon”.
Required:
For this case study, we are required to produce the following tasks
Produce a frequency table for the dependent variable “Take up” and report your findings.
[Max: 50 words]
Conduct an appropriate hypothesis test fully to inform on the RQ1 above. [Max: 50 words]
Conduct an appropriate hypothesis test fully to inform on the RQ2 above. [Max: 50 words]
General question: Explain clearly and in your own words the reason for conducting a hypothesis test instead of simply comparing sample statistics of RQ2 above. [Max: 100 words]
The output for the two tests above is included in the appendix at the end of this brief. You may decide to produce your own output by using the data available to you. You should insert the appropriate output to evidence your reports.
The reports should follow the classic research style adopted during the online classes. For full marks, you should clearly state the null and alternative hypotheses for each test.
Explain what could be the reason that all the test results were found to be statistically significant but with moderate effect sizes.

ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENTS
This is an assignment on a clinical decision-making report on the scenario written below. The Nurse looking after the patient who presented with this fluid overload below will write a report on the reason why she took the decision to get the patient a pressure-relieving mattress because of his risk of developing pressure ulcer upon doing a Waterlow assessment for the patient. Also, the decision to regularly reposition the patient, call the doctor to reduce the diuretic medication from 40mg to 20mg and change the timing of the medication from daytime to night-time. All these must be backed up with health policies like NMC, NICE guidelines, and other relevant literature.
USE LITERATURE WITHIN 7YEARS (2015-2022)
THE CLINICAL SCENARIO
Anthony (anonymized) is an 89years older adult who presented with a broken hip following an unwitnessed fall at home. He was transferred from ED to the adult assessment unit. His medical history includes Heart failure, non-insulin-dependent diabetes, Hypovolemia, and chronic venous ulcer on the right leg. Upon admission to AAU, Anthony was immobile and incontinent of urine. He has been taking furosemide 40mg per day as prescribed by his physician. During his waterloo assessment under the supervision of my practice assessor, my practice assessor and I discovered that Anthony was at high risk of developing pressure ulcers due to his age, immobility, and urine incontinence. He consented to the treatment plan that involved getting a pressure-relieving mattress, frequent Repositioning, and regular pad changes to minimize the risk of developing pressure ulcers but contributed less to decision-making.
BASED ON THE CLINICAL SCENARIO WRITTEN ABOVE, DISCUSS THE FOLLOWING SUBHEADINGS.
