For your presentation you should teach me about your paper. Be clear and make sure you are highlighting the important aspects of your paper.
There is no length requirement for the video presentation, but good presentations will be around 5 to 7 minutes. A good powerpoint will be around 10 – 15 slides that fully define and explain all terminology. Links included in your powerpoint are also helpful! If you choose to do a video format do a prepared lecture where you teach me about your topic. In your video you should highlight all the important aspects you included in your paper.

Answer the competitor analysis questions for each competitor: What are their future objectives; what is their current strategy; what do they believe about the industry and what are their strengths and weaknesses (framed as capabilities)? This should be no more than a paragraph for each company.

Are success factors the same for all competitors?
What generic business strategy does the competitor pursue, cost leadership or differentiation? Focused or broad? How do you know?
How similar is the competitors business model to our firms?
What the competitor believes about the industry Shown in organization’s assumptions
What the competitors capabilities are Shown by organization’s strengths and weaknesses
Compare financial performance among the competitors and your focal firm. Look at the stock price for each (graph it) over at least a 3-year period. Check Yahoo Finance for this information. You can get your companys stock price as well as the three competitors stock prices in a single chart. Copy and paste this into a Word document.

For this assignment, you are to complete a clinical case – narrated PowerPoint report that will follow the SOAP note example provided below. The case report will be based on the clinical case scenario list below.

You are to approach this clinical scenario as if it is a real patient in the clinical setting.

Instructions:
Step 1 – Read the assigned clinical scenario and using your clinical reasoning skills, decide on the diagnoses. This step informs your next steps.
Step 2 – Document the given information in the case scenario under the appropriate sections, headings, and subheadings of the SOAP note.
Step 3 – Document all the classic symptoms typically associated with the diagnoses in Step 1. This information may NOT be given in the scenario; you are to obtain this information from your textbooks. Include APA citations.

Example of Steps 1 – 3:
You decided on Angina after reading the clinical case scenario (Step 1)
Review of Symptoms (list of classic symptoms):
CV: sweating, squeezing, pressure, heaviness, tightening, burning across the chest starting behind the breastbone
GI: indigestion, heartburn, nausea, cramping
Pain: pain to the neck, jaw, arms, shoulders, throat, back, and teeth
Resp: shortness of breath
Musculo: weakness

Step 4 Document the abnormal physical exam findings typically associated with the acute and chronic diagnoses decided on in Step 1. Again, this information may NOT be given. Cull this information from the textbooks. Include APA citations.
Example of Step 4:
You determined the patient has Angina in Step 1
Physical Examination (list of classic exam findings):
CV: RRR, murmur grade 1/4
Resp: diminished breath sounds left lower lobe
Step 5 – Document the diagnoses in the appropriate sections, including the ICD-10 codes, from Step 1. Include three differential diagnoses. Define each diagnosis and support each differential diagnosis with pertinent positives and negatives and what makes these choices plausible. This information may come from your textbooks. Remember to cite using APA.
Step 6 – Develop a treatment plan for the diagnoses. Only use National Clinical Guidelines to develop your treatment plans. This information will not come from your textbooks. Use your research skills to locate appropriate guidelines. The treatment plan must address the following:
a) Medications (include the dosage in mg/kg, frequency, route, and the number of days)
b) Laboratory tests ordered (include why ordered and what the results of the test may indicate)
c) Diagnostic tests ordered (include why ordered and what the results of the test may indicate)
d) Vaccines administered this visit & vaccine administration forms given,
e) Non-pharmacological treatments
f) Patient/Family education including preventive care
g) Anticipatory guidance for the visit (be sure to include exactly what you discussed during the visit; review Bright Futures website for this section)
h) Follow-up appointment with a detailed plan of f/u
CLINICAL CASE SCENARIO
A 17-year-old student presents to your clinic with several days of fever, sore throat, malaise, and a new rash that developed today. She first started feeling ill ten (10) days ago with general malaise, headache, and nausea. Four days ago, she developed a temperature of 103F that has persisted. She has a worsening sore throat and difficulty swallowing solid foods, and she is drinking well. She denies emesis, diarrhea, or contact with a sick person. She takes an oral contraceptive daily and took two doses of amoxicillin yesterday (leftover from a prior illness). On examination, the patient is well developed with a diffuse morbilliform rash; she appears tired but in no distress. Her temperature is 102.2F, BP 130/80, HR 105, RR 20. She is 64 inches tall and weighs 120 pounds.

Isolation is one of the most important requirements for virtualization and cloud security. Spectre and meltdown are the most recent security breaches on many computing systems including PC, mobile, and cloud. The main cause of these breaches is the violation of the basic principle of isolation.

Some experts believe that this security issue can be fixed by applying software patches. However, some experts suggest that hardware such as CPU needs to be updated to address the subject security issue. Conduct your own research on isolation and state which argument you support. Explain your rationale.
