Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data

This unit has introduced to the topics of The Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data and we began to look at how they are connected. We live our daily lives perhaps somewhat oblivious to how we are a part of the IoT and how we contribute to the ever-growing warehouse of data that is collected every minute of every day. Yet the increasing connectedness of things to each other and to the internet is becoming more prevalent and it is changing the way business is done — from our personal business to how entire industries operate. What we do know is that these things are affecting all industries and understanding how the data being collected is driving change is a key to staying relevant, viable, and secure in the future.

For your Portfolio Activity:

Consider your industry — how does the IoT and Big Data currently play into your job, your organization, and the industry? Are these two things connected and if so, how? If not, why?
Critically reflect – how have the IoT and Big Data changed the way you do business? How has it changed the way your organization does business?
Look ahead & evaluate — how are IoT and Bid Data poised to change your job? Your Organization? Your Industry? Is your organization ready? What possible pitfalls do see? Does your organization have any limitations in this area? How might those limitations be ameliorated?
Address the above questions, as well as other areas that are relevant in a 3-page reflective paper. While you may need to do some research, this is not a research paper. You are being asked to look at the reality of Big Data and our increasing connectedness and critically reflect. Be sure to cite any sources you use. I have attached some resources for you regarding our course content covered that could be of help.

Multimedia essay

Please read over intrudctions in the photos I’ve provided. Please go over it fully and make sure you are able to do it.Fill in the planning worksheet.

This final activity allows you to create a multimedia essay in which you will portray a key theme that applies to both The Kite Runner and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. You will also choose a Biblical or spiritual quotation to highlight this theme. You may use sound, layout, graphics, and images in conjunction with media forms such as videos, photo montage, web quests, Power Point or other presentation formats. Your goal is to combine both multimedia elements and textual content to create a powerful and original statement of your chosen theme.

Lease/Purchase Comparison

Suppose that your company is trying to decide whether it should buy special equipment to prepare high-quality publications itself or lease the equipment from another company. Suppose that leasing the equipment costs $240 per day. If you decide to purchase the equipment, the initial investment is $6,800, and operations will cost $70 per day. After how many days will the lease cost be the same as the purchase cost for the equipment? Assume that your company would only use this equipment for 30 days. Should your company buy the equipment or lease it?

REPLY TO THREE DISCUSSION BOARD POST THE FIRST TWO 150 WORDS EACH, THE 3RD 100 WORDS

1)
In today’s world, we can order just about anything on the internet. Within a few days, that item can leave its factory and travel around the world to your doorstep. This is why the concept of free trade is so important. “Free Trade agreements allow preferential access to certain products from certain nations via the reduction of international trade barriers.” (Satterlee, 2018) This means that countries can generally trade without tariffs or quotas. This leads to a rough one-for-one exchange between the two countries.
From a biblical standpoint, this concept is straightforward. A recent article said, “According to this Christian economic perspective, international trade should and must exist as a charity toward others in need of products.” (Horvat, 2018) Scripture also backs up this insertion in Genesis. It says, “These men are at peace with us,” they announced. “Therefore, let them live in the land and trade in it. Look! The land is large enough for them.” (Genesis 34:21) Long story short we are all guests here on earth. God created everything we have, and we should do everything we can to share it with our brothers and sisters from around the world.

2)Regional Economic Integration
This essay will look to combine a biblical worldview and money with regional economic integration. Having a biblical worldview, will shape how decisions whether it be in a corporation or decisions made by countries in trade. With any international agreements there are groups for and against the benefits that may be produced from these agreements. The thought os regional eonomi integration “free trade helps nations take advantage of the unprecedented wealth the global eonomy is producing” (Satterlee, 2018, pg 168). In this concept countries work together to make agreements on trade that help their countries prosper; with an example being the NAFTA agreement that combines the USA, Mexio, and Canada. The regional economic integration has core values that look to have a bblial worldview basis “(1) peace, (2) freedom and the absence of violence, (3) prosperity and economic development, (4) the reduction of incidence of economic poverty, and (5) democracy, and (6) a clean and healthy environment” (Satterlee, 2018, pg 168).
With the basis of the agreements having a biblical worldview to improve lives of the people and countries, there can be individual religious values that also play a role in individual agreements, this may be one of the reason for smaller groups of countries working together “Whilst samples in these studies from Western Europe and America are dominated by Christians, it is likely that members of other religious groups will also share specific attitudes which will impact their financial decisions” (Alderman, Forsyth et al. 2017).
In talks from country to country there may be differences; however at the core of the ones making decisions it can not be denied that “one of the most remarkable results of this study is that religious openness has a strong positive effect on trade” (Helble n.d.). The foundation that is needed for all countries and people to work together “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you” (ESV John 15:12).

3)A purchase of raw materials for production should be recorded as a debit to raw materials inventory and a credit to accounts payable.
The request from the chief financial officer was unethical because he is telling me to lie about his mistake in buying too many materials. On one hand it may seem like not a big deal because you are helping the company out as a whole by the income tax lessening, causing more growth opportunities. But on the other hand, I would be violating God’s commandment over us as Christians. He says explicitly in Leviticus 19:11, “Do not lie. Do not deceive one another.” This is not the only verse discouraging lying; there are plenty, which only means that we need to pay more attention to what we say that is true or a lie. I would have to tell the chief financial office that I cannot do that for him because it is against what is right and if I end up getting fired for not following instructions, then so be it. I would much rather honor and glorify God then stay at a workplace that does not value the importance of telling the truth, no matter how it will affect them.

Continuous Quality Improvement Using a Social Marketing Approach

The purpose of this assignment is to apply social marketing tactics to a continuous quality improvement approach within a health care context.
Social marketing (not to be confused with social media marketing) is a process that utilizes marketing principles and techniques to influence the target audience to adopt positive voluntary behavioral changes.
For this assignment, you will be looking at aspects of social marketing in greater depth to draw connections between this approach and continuous quality improvement in health care. Identify an aspect of patient care in need of quality improvement and error reduction at the health care facility where you work or at one with which you are familiar (e.g., medical error reduction, surgical error reduction, appropriate utilization, pharmaceutical accuracy).
Create a 10-12 slide PowerPoint presentation (not including a reference slide), with detailed speaker notes, that addresses the following components of your social marketing approach to continuous quality improvement (CQI):
Describe the problem and present your proposal for a quality-improvement-based solution.
Conduct a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis on your proposal for improvement.
Describe the target audience whose behavior you are aiming to positively influence. Be specific.
Present specific objectives and goals you would like to achieve. Draw connections between the implementation of quality improvement strategies and error reduction.
Identify factors surrounding the implementation of your improvement proposal that could positively or negatively sway the target audience’s behavior. These could be motivating reasons for the target audience to adopt your recommendations or potential barriers to implementation that may discourage or dissuade them from complying.
Describe how you intend to strategically market your proposal to the target audience.
Describe how you plan to monitor and evaluate the success of your quality improvement strategies.
Describe what type of financial backing you will need in order to implement your proposal and any budgetary restraints that could present an obstacle to the execution of your improvement strategies.
Present an implementation plan to put your proposal into action.
Cite at least three references, including the textbook.
Refer to the resource, “Creating Effective PowerPoint Presentations,” located in the Student Success Center, for additional guidance on completing this assignment in the appropriate style.
While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

Build A Text Adventure Game – Final Project

Build A Text Adventure Game
For your final project, your instructor would like to see your creativity in coding! Your instructor has tasked you with creating a text adventure game ( they were really popular in the 1980’s – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text-based_game (Links to an external site.) ). Your instructor encourages you to really let your imagination run wild with this project and wants it to be a very fun project for you to show case your skills you have learned in class this term!
Here are the graded requirements:
A minimum of eight functions for your program (Methods).
Demonstrate usage of the following concepts in your program (you must document this in your code comments):
basic arithmetic expressions in Java
user input and program output in Java
use of if statements, if/else statements, and if/else if/…/else statements (must use all three types at a minimum of four times per each type )
use of looping constructs ( for loop, while loop, do/while loop – use each type of loop at a minimum of two times per each type of loop )
utilization of arrays (this is the tricky part, many different approaches – e.g. arrays can hold information about different “rooms”, “zones”, “areas” in the game, or can also be used for storing text that is output in the game – more arrays the merrier!!!)
utilization of Object Oriented Programming concepts – one class of each of the following:
abstract class
parent class (hint: good idea to have it implement the abstract class)
two child classes that inherit the above parent class
To be submitted:
Programmer documentation of time spent on project.
Java source code files (.java file) of your program.
Hint: follow the KISS principle – Keep It Simple and Straight-forward!
