...Running head: PSYCOLOGICAL UNDERPINNINGS: A TASK AT HAND Psychological Underpinning: A Task At Hand Beverly Becnel Grand Canyon University: EDU 313 N February 21, 2012 The task of teaching children comes with many different avenues to choose from, but the avenue we choose is only as good as the way we plan the lesson and the child’s ability to comprehend it. Another notable factor of planning for lessons is the many theories that are available for our use. Because of the fact that children learn and develop at different stages, it is important to evaluate each child and make sure the lessons we are planning to teach is at that child’s level. In order to ensure we have chosen the best pathway for the child’s learning experience it is also important for teachers to make themselves familiar with these theories and discover when and how to use them. One theory I found to be a good resource is Behaviorism which is also known as behavioral psychology; this theory is based on the fact that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning. This conditioning can occur with the interaction of the environment. According to this theory behavior can be studied in a systematic and observable manner regardless of internal mental status (cherry, 2012). The two major types of behaviorism are classical conditioning, and operant conditioning. The classical conditioning theory is based on the act of placing a neutral signal before a naturally occurring reflex. For example you smell...

...CAC/RCP 1-1969, Rev. 4-2003 - Annex Page 21 HAZARD ANALYSIS AND CRITICAL CONTROL POINT (HACCP) SYSTEM AND GUIDELINES FOR ITS APPLICATION Annex to CAC/RCP 1-1969 (Rev. 4 - 2003) PREAMBLE The first section of this document sets out the principles of the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system adopted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission. The second section provides general guidance for the application of the system while recognizing that the details of application may vary depending on the circumstances of the food operation.2 The HACCP system, which is science based and systematic, identifies specific hazards and measures for their control to ensure the safety of food. HACCP is a tool to assess hazards and establish control systems that focus on prevention rather than relying mainly on end-product testing. Any HACCP system is capable of accommodating change, such as advances in equipment design, processing procedures or technological developments. HACCP can be applied throughout the food chain from primary production to final consumption and its implementation should be guided by scientific evidence of risks to human health. As well as enhancing food safety, implementation of HACCP can provide other significant benefits. In addition, the application of HACCP systems can aid inspection by regulatory authorities and promote international trade by increasing confidence in food safety. The successful application of HACCP requires the full commitment and involvement...

...members of the executive who are prioritized by the scheme, as well as another one-hundred employees that own a cell phone and a laptop. Notably, fifteen employees that have been signed up for the training will require the program’s expanded internet service. In case funding gets approved, this project is intended to save considerable finances in the long run. The Scope of the Smartphone Project The scope of the Smartphone project is to establish the deadline for project, in terms of the time duration it will take to finally realize the programmed expansion across the firm (Kerzner, 2013). In the context of this project, finalization of the firm’s member upgrade should be achieved within a period of one month. The project scope also includes the information necessary for successful completion of the project. Importantly, acknowledging the cost of the intended expansion under scenario four must be considered prior to any subsequent project decision making (Heagney, 2012). Such cost analysis must include any potential system upgrades, materials, labor demands, as well as training and maintenance expenses. Stakeholder Needs The project’s stakeholder demands will vary based on the outcome expected of each engaged party. In the Smartphone project scenario, stakeholder interests in the final outcome mainly emanate from the firm’s 100 employees enlisted for the upgrade. Other stakeholder interests arise from the firms whose...

...Lab #9 - Assessment Worksheet Investigating and Responding to Security Incidents Course Name and Number: CSS280-1501A-01 Ethical Hacking Student Name: ***** ****** Instructor Name: ***** ****** Lab Due Date: 2/9/2015 Overview In this lab, you acted as a member of the incident response team who had been assigned an incident response in the form of a help desk trouble ticket. You followed the phases of a security incident response to investigate the event, contain the malware, eradicate the suspicious files, re-test the system in readiness for returning it to service, and complete a detailed security incident response report in the provided template. You used AVG Anti-Virus Business Edition to scan the infected workstation and documented your findings as you proceeded. Lab Assessment Questions & Answers 1. When you are notified that a user's workstation or system is acting strangely and log files indicate system compromise, what is the first thing you should do to the workstation or system and why? Have the user of the machine cease all activity and contain the infected machine by disconnecting from the network (unplug Ethernet cable or disable wireless), leaving it isolated but not powered off. It should be left in its steady state. This isolates the contaminated workstation from the organization’s network and Internet, as well as preventing the contamination from spreading. Logs, memory forensics...

...RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN PURPOSE AND SCOPE The purpose of the Risk Management Plan is to establish an approach to monitoring, evaluating, and managing risks throughout the life of the project. A risk is an uncertain event or condition that has a negative or positive effect on the project’s objectives. The risk management plan will identify potential risk, assess individual risk and its impact on performance, cost, and schedule of the overall project and develop an action plan that handles individual risk. RISK PLAN OBJECTIVES The scope of this risk assessment assessed the system’s use of resources and controls (implemented or planned) to eliminate and/or manage vulnerabilities exploitable by threats internal and external to the Project. If exploited, these vulnerabilities could result in: • Unauthorized disclosure of data • Unauthorized modification to the system, its data, or both • Denial of service, access to data, or both to authorized users This Risk Assessment Report evaluates the confidentiality (protection from unauthorized disclosure of system and data information), integrity (protection from improper modification of information), and availability (loss of system access) of the system. Recommended security safeguards will allow management to make decisions about security-related initiatives. PROJECT RISKS This risk assessment methodology and approach was conducted using the guidelines in NIST SP 800-30, Risk Management Guide for Information Technology Systems...

...Options From an External-Internal Analysis TOWS Analysis is a variant of the classic business tool, SWOT Analysis. TOWS and SWOT are acronyms for different arrangements of the words Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. By analyzing the external environment (threats and opportunities), and your internal environment (weaknesses and strengths), you can use these techniques to think about the strategy of your whole organization, a department or a team. You can also use them to think about a process, a marketing campaign, or even your own skills and experience. Our article on SWOT Analysis helps you perform a thorough SWOT/TOWS Analysis. At a practical level, the only difference between TOWS and SWOT is that TOWS emphasizes the external environment whilst SWOT emphasizes the internal environment. In both cases, this analysis results in a SWOT (or TOWS) Matrix like the one shown below: Strengths | Weaknesses | Opportunities | Threats | In this article, we look at how you can extend your use of SWOT and TOWS to think in detail about the strategic options open to you. While this approach can be used just as well with SWOT as TOWS, it's most often associated with TOWS.
