provide a framework for removing barriers that disadvantaged people may experience in accessing and utilizing new technologies, as well as analyzing technologies through the lens of social justice and equity.
This week, you will conduct an equity impact assessment of the technology you have selected for your Course Project. The goal of this assignment is to provide a framework for removing barriers that disadvantaged people may experience in accessing and utilizing new technologies, as well as analyzing technologies through the lens of social justice and equity. Equity is defined as the belief that all humans are created equal (Martin & Nakayama, 2020). Determinants of equity include the social, economic, geographic, political, and physical environment conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age and that are necessary for all people to thrive regardless of race, class, gender, language spoken, or sexual orientation. Inequities are created when barriers exist that prevent individuals and communities from accessing these conditions. Your equity assessment must address the following.

Discuss the difference between economic value and social value or the shared value creation framework. Why do you think organizations tend to focus on the creation of one type of value but not both?
Reply to two prompts in 100 words each. No sites needed, these are just thoughts on the prompts. (Original prompt for you consideration, Discuss the difference between economic value and social value or the shared value creation framework. Why do you think organizations tend to focus on the creation of one type of value but not both? )Prompt 1: Economic value is the difference between the amount in which someone will pay for a product and the cost to produce the product. This number can change based on the cost of production versus the the demand for the product. While economic value focuses on the financial side, social value deals with societal needs. I think that in a perfect world, a company would focus on economic value and social value equally. But since businesses need capital to survive and grow, they tend to focus on the economic value. However, as companies grow, they tend to have an effect on the workings around them. This is where the social value begins to grow. Larger companies need to worry about their social standing (or value). They will have an effect on the society they reside.Prompt 2: The definition for economic value is stated to be, “the value that person places on an economic good based on the benefit that they derive from the good”. Social value is stated to be, “the quantification of the relative importance that people place on the changes they experience in their lives”. From these definitions, I would argue that the difference between economic value and social value is economic value is viewed from the perspective of a person on how a product would benefit the economy or grow the economy. While social value is viewed from the perspective value of an individual’s life, meaning how a product or service could benefit them personally. For a company to focus on both economic value and social value, a possible conflict could occur. Not everything that is beneficial to the economy is beneficial to an individual person. I would ask, how could focusing on both values benefit a company? Maybe in the long term focusing on the economic value could benefit the social value, but it could not happen right away.

evaluate the unmitigated risks associated with these vulnerabilities and develop a recommended list of actions that would help the asset owner in mitigating some of these risk in order to improve the operational integrity of their cyber-physical systems.
Please do the research on the topic ( Advantech – WebAccess (SCADA) and complete the attached word file based on specific requirements. It is one of the vendor for industrial cyber security. A key objective of any academic program is the refinement and reinforcement of strong communication skills. The same ability of a cyber security professional to compile information and present findings, observations, and recommendations in a clear, concise, and understandable manner is equally important. It is for these reasons that a requirement exists for the successful completion of this course to perform research and compile a technical paper centering on a specific automation vendor and their industrial solution offering.The paper will focus on selecting a company and one of their industrial control system offerings. Solutions are often aligned to specific industry sectors and customer bases. These solutions should be understood to then look at vulnerabilities that have been disclosed targeting these systems. Equally important is the impact to the business operations of the end-user or asset owner should any of these vulnerabilities be exploiting – either intentionally or accidentally. It is essential to evaluate the unmitigated risks associated with these vulnerabilities and develop a recommended list of actions that would help the asset owner in mitigating some of these risk in order to improve the operational integrity of their cyber-physical systems.

identify and discuss the key tenets of quantitative research methods used in research in criminal justice
Overview of Quantitative Methods Quantitative methods have been the traditional hallmarks of scientific inquiry. From an early age, we are all aware of the mathematical rigors involved in quantitative analyses. In the discipline of criminal justice, researchers utilize a variety of statistical tools with which to analyze empirical data. The inferences and conclusions that are drawn from such quantitative techniques have provided for empirically-based public policy, increased professionalism in law enforcement, and the development of more effective rehabilitative tools within corrections. Were it not for quantitative methods, much of what we current know about the world of criminal justice would not exist.After reading the Worrall article and Chapter 8 of Creswell’s Research Design, identify and discuss the key tenets of quantitative research methods used in research in criminal justice:Your initial post should be at least 400 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references. Creswell, J. W. (2014).

What are the lowest cost and lowest risk alternatives that should be considered?
This question describes a situation where software is required to support the operation of a new product developed by a start-up. The start-up is developing equipment that it will sell to households. This equipment will enable people who do repair or installation work in and around their homes, to be more effective. The start-up has just been granted a patent for their first product. This will be a replacement for both short and tall ladders. Their first product will be a drone, light enough to worn as a back-pack, with computer control for navigation and stability. This will be used as a ladder replacement, for access inside houses and buildings. The control software for the drone will need to: maintain stability, support navigation and avoid collisions. In Chapter 2 we learned about sourcing software. Propose sourcing for the software to control this drone. You can consider the sourcing alternatives as sourcing the entire control system or acquiring the three components: stability maintenance, navigation, collision avoidance separately and having these integrated, either in-house or by a supplier. Note that this device will be controlled by the wearer, so there is need for automation to detect and avoid obstacles.
Analysis: What are the lowest cost and lowest risk alternatives that should be considered? You can consider sourcing by operating function (stability, navigation and collision avoidance) or for the total operating system. Discuss these alternatives.
Proposed Solution
Identify proposed software sourcing, either by operating function (stability, navigation and collision avoidance) or for the total operating range, with explanations. You should search the Web for COTS or Open Source opportunities for software acquisition and identify potential software that could be used. Remember acquisition is lower cost than new development.
Explain how these systems interact to produce movement in general
Instructions For Movement Summary
This summary is about movement. Movement in the human body is possible due to specific interactions between the nervous, muscular and skeletal systems. To complete this assignment, you will describe these interactions as the body goes through specific actions. Required Elements
The summary must have the following elements as you describe the interactions that occur during movement:1) An Introduction: Introduce the topic by explaining the role of the nervous system, motor pathway, nerve impulses, muscular system and skeletal system in the process of movement. Explain how these systems interact to produce movement in general (do not describe specific movements here). 2) Motor Pathway: A paragraph including an explanation of what a motor pathway is and the purpose it serves in the process of movement. A description of the specific path nerve signals travel through the brain, spinal cord, spinal nerves and peripheral nerves so that the brain is able to send signals to control the muscles and cause the movement at the joint between the bones. (The motor pathway as discussed in class) – This pathway is described only once in general, NOT for each specific movement! 3) Nerve Impulse: A paragraph including an explanation of what a nerve impulse is and its role in the process of creating movement, as well as an explanation of the process by which a nerve impulse is initiated in the neurons of the motor pathway, propagated down their axons and passed to the next neurons in the pathway before finally stimulating the muscle at the synapse (as discussed in class)4) Conclusion: A paragraph providing an example of how these systems interact by writing a description of the interactions between the nerves, muscles and bones going through a specific set of movements. For each movement listed in the scenario below, you should describe specifically what happens. Be sure to:a. Name the movements that occur at the joints (flexion, elevation, extension abduction etc.).b. Name the specific nerves that stimulate the specific muscles to contract & pull the specific bones to produce specific movements at the joint (include the articulation points between the bones). c. DO NOT LIST the nerves, muscles and bones involved! Name them as you describe how they are interacting with each other to produce movement. See the example below.5) College Level Scientific Writing: Include the resources used on a work cited page at the end of the summary. The sources should be written in APA format. The summary should be double spaced. DO NOT use first, second or third person anywhere within the summary. Do not make non-factual statements and do not include extraneous information – remain on topic. The summary should demonstrate proper syntax and lack spelling, grammar and punctuation errors. The summary should be written in your own words!Example for # 4: “To kick a ball requires flexion, followed by rapid extension at the knee. To flex the knee, a nerve impulse passes through the motor pathway, exits the spinal cord via the spinal nerves making up the sacral plexus, and passes into the sciatic nerve. This nerve stimulates the biceps femoris, semimembranosus & semitendinosus to contract. When these muscles contract, they pull the tibia and fibula posterior and up toward the back of the femur, the medial and lateral condyles of the tibia slide backward on the medial and lateral condyles of the femur. Once the knee is flexed, it must be extended. To extend the knee, a nerve impulse… Scenario used for # 4 onlyYou see a delicious cookie on the table in front of you. You decide you will try one. To do this you must:1) Lift your arm directly in front of you to reach for the cookie – describe movement at the shoulder2) Grasp the cookie with your fingers and your thumb – describe movements at the MP joints3) Bring the cookie to your mouth – describe 2 movements – first rotate (palm up) and then bend the elbow
