When conducting original research, the final step researchers must complete is weighing the evidence and interpreting the meanings of their data, statistics, and analyses. This is the culmination of the research process in which all of the research methods and designs can be synthesized into a meaningful conclusion. In this stage, researchers should formulate explanations for what their data indicates, determine whether the data answers their initial research question, identify areas of uncertainty, and consider directions for further research.

In this Discussion, you focus on one of the research articles that you identified for Part 2 of the Course Project (Literature Review). You then explore the process of how the researchers generated conclusions based on their data, consider other possible interpretations of their data, and formulate ideas for further research.

To prepare:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources, focusing on how researchers find meaning in their data and generate sound conclusions. Pay particular attention to Table 2 in the article, “Study Design in Medical Research.”
• Revisit the 5 articles that you identified in Part 2 of the Course Project. Select one to consider for the purpose of this Discussion.
• Read sections of the chosen article where the data is presented, analyzed, and interpreted for meaning. What reasoning process did the researchers use to formulate their conclusions? What explanation did they give to support their conclusions? Were there any weaknesses in their analysis or conclusions?
• Consider possible alternate conclusions that the researchers could have drawn based on their data.
• Examine the findings that the article presents and consider how well they addressed the researcher’s initial question(s). What additional research could be done to build on these findings and gain a fuller understanding of the question?

Post on or before Day 3 an APA citation and brief summary of the research article that you selected. Describe the data and the results of any statistical tests or analyses presented in the article. Explain how the researchers formulated their conclusion, any weaknesses in their analysis or conclusions, and offer at least one alternate interpretation of their data. Propose at least one additional research study that could be done to further investigate this research topic.

OVERVIEW:

 

You will provide detailed network design proposal. Your task is to design the network for this new building with the following criteria:

 

Student-accessed computers should be on separate network from the staff-accessed computers. In addition, computers for public use should be on a separate network. The open-wifi network should also be on a separate network.

There must be a minimum of 40 Mbps Internet connection, with a backup line capable of at least 20Mbps. Cable, DSL, or FIOS should not be used for primary Internet service.

The network has been assigned the 10.13.0.0/16 network address for all computers and devices.

Your proposal will be submitted in three major parts:

 

Physical Network Design

Network Addressing

Network Services Design

To learn how you will be assessed on this assignment, please take a moment to review the rubric. The final deliverable should adhere to the following criteria:

 

Include at least five scholarly references.

Use IEEE-style citation.

Use correct network terminology.

The use of diagrams is encouraged.

Use this template as a guide while creating your Network Design Proposal (Parts 1-3).

 

PHYSICAL NETWORK DESIGN:

In this section, address each of the following.

 

Define the topology that will be used.

Select the appropriate network media.

Select the appropriate network connecting devices, including network security devices.

Select the appropriate computer systems to use to support the network design.

Determine a physical layout of the computers on the floor plan, along with the network wires (network wiring diagram).

Provide justifications for each element of your network design (numbers 1–4 above).

 

NETWORK ADDRESSING:

In this section, address each of the following.

 

Define the subnets (based on rooms, floor, department, or other criteria).

For each subnet, explain which devices/groups/users/rooms will be on this subnet, define the network address, subnet mask, and available IP addresses to be used by computers or devices.

Show the calculations on how the subnet information are calculated

 

NETWORK SERVICE DESIGN:

In this section, address each of the following.

 

Identify network services needed.

List additional servers or network devices needed to implement the network.

List network security measures to be implemented.

Justify the need for the network services, security measures, and devices you’ve selected.

 

BUILDING DETAILS:

The 50-year-old, two-story building has the following layout:

 

I have attached the floor plan with the details required for it. I also attached pictures of the rubric of what is expected for the highest grade possible and a sample template.

Week 4: Needs Assessment/Milestone Two

For your course project work this week, consider what you have learned about diagnosing organizations and the diagnostic process.  Use that knowledge to complete the first milestone of your course project.

Milestone Two: Needs Assessment

For your course project work this week, consider what you have learned about collecting and analyzing diagnostic information.  Use that knowledge to complete the second milestone of your course project.

Use the selected organization and problem identified earlier in the course and determine which one or more of the diagnostic tools would be useful in collecting the organization data needed to plan a major change effort.  Describe what data you would collect and the method(s) for doing so.  Collect the data if possible.

Needs Assessment and Diagnosis

• Data collection
• Data analysis

Describe which of the quantitative and/or qualitative tools you would use for data analysis.  If you have collected data, perform the analysis.

Submit a draft bibliography of your final paper. Three to five peer-reviewed journal articles are required for this assignment.

Your assignment should be no fewer than 2-3 page(s) in length.

A carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that each individual produces. Calculating your carbon footprint can give you a new perspective concerning how much you are really contributing to the greenhouse effect.

In this assignment, you will apply what you have learned about taking personal responsibility for your environment and calculate your own carbon footprint.

Using The Nature Conservancy Web site, calculate your carbon footprint. You can calculate this by clicking on the calculator and filling out the estimated values. Access this Web site using the following link:

• The Nature Conservancy. (2011). Carbon footprint calculator: What’s my carbon footprint? Retrieved fromhttp://www.nature.org/greenliving/carboncalculator/index.htm

Respond to the following:

• Describe your final carbon footprint.
• Classify where most of the carbon you generate comes from.
• Considering all you have learned in this course, state if you feel you have a new appreciation for your role in the environment.
• Examine how you impact the environment. Do you think you impact the environment more than you should?
• Describe the part of your life that is contributing the most carbon.
• Propose how you can reduce this number. In your opinion, explain if it is realistic for you to try and reduce this number.

Write your initial response in approximately 300–350 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

By Sunday, February 7, 2016, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through Wednesday, February 10, 2016, review and comment on at least two peers’ responses. Consider the following:

• How does your carbon footprint differ from theirs?
• Suggest ways in which your classmates can reduce their carbon footprint.

nstructions: Develop an essay of 750 to 1000 words minimum/maximum with an introduction, body, and conclusion. Include a works cited page.

Be sure to argue a particular point of view in your essay (your thesis) and cite varied examples from the readings in MLA format in order to support your perspective. Please focus on the reading themselves, and avoid using outside sources (particularly open-web sources such as Wikipedia). Whatever you do, DO NOT give me a biography of the author or retell a story.

 

This assignment is DUE: Mar 12, 2016 11:55 PM.

Choose one of the following topics on religious theme:

1. Oroonoko is often referred to as a Christ figure with his dismemberment resembling the crucifixion. Explore this topic using proof from the text to back up your argument.

   2. Discuss the way in which Milton creates his Satan character in “Paradise Lost.”  Is he the hero of the story?  You may use examples from a film such as “Devil’s Advocate” to explore this sympathetic drawing of Satan.

   3. Bunyan is straight forward in his delivery of “Pilgrim’s Progress.”  An example of this is the obvious naming of characters.  As we have previously noted though, this piece is categorized as an allegory. As such, the tale can be interpreted to reveal hidden meaning.  Explore an example of Biblical allegory you see in the text.

Select two historical leaders. One who was known for making a positive contribution in a leadership role, and the other who made a negative contribution in a leadership role (one good leader and one bad leader).

1. Each leader must be, or have been a business or world leader (each leader) from 1960 or later.
2. Provide three separate reasons (with referenced examples) to justify the reason they were a good, or bad leader.
3. Identify, compare, and contrast the two different leadership styles of each one.
4. The research paper must be 6-8 pages of written text (not including the cover page and reference page), roughly 1500-2000 words.
5. You must include at least three outside references for each leader, for a total of six references (minimum) for the research paper. The text may be used as a reference but it will not count toward the six required sources.
