Review the Resources and identify a clinical issue of interest that can form the basis of a clinical inquiry.
Assignment: Evidence-Based Project, Part 3: Advanced Levels of Clinical Inquiry and Systematic Reviews
Your quest to purchase a new car begins with an identification of the factors important to you. As you conduct a search of cars that rate high on those factors, you collect evidence and try to understand the extent of that evidence. A report that suggests a certain make and model of automobile has high mileage is encouraging. But who produced that report? How valid is it? How was the data collected, and what was the sample size?In this Assignment, you will delve deeper into clinical inquiry by closely examining your PICO(T) question. You also begin to analyze the evidence you have collected.To Prepare:· Review the Resources and identify a clinical issue of interest that can form the basis of a clinical inquiry.· Develop a PICO(T) question to address the clinical issue of interest you identified in Module 2 for the Assignment. This PICOT question will remain the same for the entire course.· Use the key words from the PICO(T) question you developed and search at least four different databases in the Walden Library. Identify at least four relevant systematic reviews or other filtered high-level evidence, which includes meta-analyses, critically-appraised topics (evidence syntheses), critically-appraised individual articles (article synopses). The evidence will not necessarily address all the elements of your PICO(T) question, so select the most important concepts to search and find the best evidence available.· Reflect on the process of creating a PICO(T) question and searching for peer-reviewed research.The Assignment (Evidence-Based Project)Part 3: Advanced Levels of Clinical Inquiry and Systematic ReviewsCreate a 6- to 7-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:· Identify and briefly describe your chosen clinical issue of interest.· Describe how you developed a PICO(T) question focused on your chosen clinical issue of interest.· Identify the four research databases that you used to conduct your search for the peer-reviewed articles you selected.· Provide APA citations of the four relevant peer-reviewed articles at the systematic-reviews level related to your research question. If there are no systematic review level articles or meta-analysis on your topic, then use the highest level of evidence peer reviewed article.· Describe the levels of evidence in each of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected, including an explanation of the strengths of using systematic reviews for clinical research. Be specific and provide examples.By Day 7 of Week 5Submit Part 3 of your Evidence-Based Project.Part 3: Advanced Levels of Clinical Inquiry and Systematic Reviews Create a 6- to 7-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following: · Identify and briefly describe your chosen clinical issue of interest. · Describe how you developed a PICO(T) question focused on your chosen clinical issue of interest. · Identify the four research databases that you used to conduct your search for the peer-reviewed articles you selected. · Provide APA citations of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected. · Describe the levels of evidence in each of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected, including an explanation of the strengths of using systematic reviews for clinical research.

write a report detailing the approach you would take to designing, developing and implementing an effective security awareness program for this organisation,
Security Awareness Report: An individual assessment in the form of a business report.Using the organisation, context and risk profile documented in Continuous Assessment 1, write a report detailing the approach you would take to designing, developing and implementing an effective security awareness program for this organisation, based on the following scenario:Your organisation has identified that its people are their best line of defence against the rising threat of cyber-attacks. As the Cyber Security Manager, you have been tasked with developing an ongoing program of security awareness. The key objective is to change the behaviour of all employees to be aware of the various cyber threats and know how to take appropriate action to protect, detect and respond to security incidents.Recent security incidents within the organisation have been traced back to human error and have given rise to the following security events:1. Phishing email which resulted in the loss of credentials of a sensitive system.2. Ransomware infection which resulted in business disruption to a key business unit.3. Data breach of personally identifiable information which resulted in a data breach notification to impacted individuals (per the Australian Privacy Act).In addition to documenting a broad-based program of security awareness, you will need to research and analyse one of these threats and discuss cost-effective awareness measures to mitigate against them, given the context of your organisation.Finally, as future investment in cyber security is dependent on demonstrating the effectiveness of the security awareness program, you have also been asked to research and document an effective approach to measuring the effectiveness of the overall program.Note: Any assumptions made about the nature of the existing IT controls at the organisation should be documented in the report.The report should be written in a professional business language, aimed at the senior leadership/Executive team of your organisation and cover the following areas:· Executive Summary (including business context)· Security Awareness Needs Assessment· Security Awareness Strategy and Plan· Methods for Delivery of Security Awareness· Threat Discussion (as chosen above)· Security Awareness Measures and Metrics Your report should be 3,000 words (+/-10%) in length. You will need to concentrate on delivering a concise report while ensuring that all relevant topics are covered with consideration of the intended audience.All references and readings must be cited in the report’s bibliography. Note: The Executive Summary should briefly summarise the key actions / recommendations arising from the report. It is not a summary the different sections or approach contained within the report.The intent of an Exec Summary is so that corporate Executives (with v. little time on their hands) can quickly become acquainted with a large body of material without having to read the whole report.
From this context, what is the functional role of the ICT?
The digital divide remains formidable in scaling information and communication technology (ICT)-enabled opportunities for effective leadership and development in countries lagging behind, (Ahmed, 2015). Based on the case study, the authors reminded us that, the practice of e-Participation provides an avenue for adaptation, application, and utilization of ICT as a subset of e-Commerce, in the realm of e-Democracy and, it is a concept needed to bridge the existing digital gap within and across countries in a global context. Q2: From the chapter, we learned that as the world moves at a faster and voluminous pace, there is need to acquire technology and the skill to use it, as is increasing at the rate beyond those societies that are unable to remedy their inadequacies. However, the challenges to meet this pressure could be enormous, but not insurmountable, and the means to address such challenges are abundantly available in ICT-supported processes like e-Participation. From this context, what is the functional role of the ICT?
