national Public Health: Tracking Health and Environment         

Prepare: In 2000, Environmental Health Tracking Project Team at Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health, Department of Health Policy and Management, made the recommendation that a health tracking system was necessary to ensure that the recent mapping of the genome might be fully realized. Access to basic information was necessary because it was important to track who was more at risk from exposure to environmental hazards and to define the health gap. The missing information keeps communities and public health officials from assessing and reducing these health risks and issues. The committee outlined that cost of chronic disease was $325 billion in annual healthcare and lost productivity and while the U.S. has one of the world’s best healthcare systems, there was still no system in place to track the link between health and environment.

In 2001, Congress mandated that funds be allocated to establish the CDC’s National Environmental Public Health Tracking (EPHT) Program, which is led by the National Center for Environmental Health’s (NCEH) Environmental Health Tracking Branch (EHTB).tracking system. By 2015, the CDC had its own tracking page (http://ephtracking.cdc.gov/showHome.action (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.), with 25 states had tracking systems in place, (http://ephtracking.cdc.gov/showStateTracking.action (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.).

Click on the following webpage (http://www.cdc.gov/about/history/tengpha.htm (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.) of the CDC that outlines the greatest public health achievements in the 20th century. Click on one of the health issues on the page (it can be related to your final project) and read about its history and present day challenges, if any. Then click on  http://ephtracking.cdc.gov/showStateTracking.action (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and choose two particular states (feel free to use your state, if it has a tracking page) and a specific disease or health issue that the state is tracking (Again, it can be related to your final project). Develop or look for data, graphs, and maps on your choice and decipher what the data presents. Feel free to play around with the tracking systems of both states.

Reflect: As you looking at the websites considering the following questions:

  • What do you learn about the history of the disease you chose?
  • Would you argue that this is why these states choose to track this particular data?
  • How far back does this state track the data?
  • What do you learn from the data?
  • How does the data from the two states compare?
  • Can you explain the difference and why it exists?
  • What do you notice about gender, race, and class?

Write: As you consider the history and the greatest achievements in public health as well as current health issues on the tracking systems, what is the connection between the past and present when it comes to the link between health and the environment? How is gender, race, and/or class connected to health and the environment?

Threat Modeling Using The Elevation Of Privilege Game.

A Discussion Of Threat Modeling Using The Elevation Of Privilege Game.

Example of classmates done this assignment just for your reference to understand what’s need to be done.

 Elevation of Privilege (EOP) GameCOLLAPSE

Threat Modeling Is a Core Element of the Microsoft Security Development Life cycle (SDL). As part of the design phase of the SDL, threat modeling allows software architects to identify and mitigate potential security issues early, when they are relatively easy and cost-effective to resolve.

1)Communicate about the security design of their systems

2)Analyze those designs for potential security issues using a proven methodology

3)Suggest and manage mitigations for security issues

Elevation of Privilege (EoP) Card Game:-Elevation of Privilege (EoP) is the easy way to get started threat modeling, which is a core component of the design phase in the Microsoft Security Development Life cycle(SDL). TheEoP card game helps clarify the details of threat modeling and examines possible threats to software and computer systems.The EoP game focuses on the following threats:

Spoofing

Tampering

Repudiation

Information Disclosure

Denial of Service

Elevation of Privilege

EoP uses a simple point system that allows you to challenge other developers and become your opponent’s biggest threat.

1)Spoofing (S):-SpooFng (S) is the First suit of threats in the STRIDE threat enumeration.Spoofing describes any threat that allows an attacker (or accidentally causes a user) to pretend to be someone or something else. Accordingly, the characters on the cards are masked individuals wearing crowns – unknown attackers, pretending to be royalty.

2)Tampering (T):-Tampering is the second suit of threats in the STRIDE threat enumeration. Tampering describes any threat that allows an attacker (or accidentally causes a user) to alter or destroy data which the application has not allowed them to. Accordingly, the characters on the cards are green gremlins whose open mouths and sharp teeth could indicate either shouting or a desire to eat.

3)Repudiation (R):- Repudiation Users may dispute transactions if there is insufficient auditing or record keeping of their activity. For example, if a user says, “But I didn’t transfer any money to this external account!”, and you cannot track his/her activities through the application, then it is extremely likely that the transaction will have to be written off as a loss.

4)Information Disclosure (I):- Users are rightfully wary of submitting private details to a system. If it is possible for an attacker to publicly reveal user data at large, whether anonymously or as an authorized user, there will be an immediate loss of confidence and a substantial period of reputation loss. Therefore, applications must include strong controls to prevent user ID tampering and abuse, particularly if they use a single context to run the entire application.

5)Denial of Service (D):- Application designers should be aware that their applications may be subject to a denial of service attack. Therefore, the use of expensive resources such as large files, complex calculations, heavy-duty searches, or long queries should be reserved for authenticated and authorized users, and not available to anonymous users.

6)Elevation of Privilege (E):- If an application provides distinct user and administrative roles, then it is vital to ensure that the user cannot elevate his/her role to a higher privilege one. In particular, simply not displaying privileged role links is insufficient. Instead, all actions should be gated through an authorization matrix, to ensure that only the permitted roles can access privileged functionality.

The Game consists of 84 Cards, 6suits, each based on letter of STRIDE:2-10, ACE, KING, QUEEN, JACK. High Card takes the trick unless someone has EOP cardEOP Cards trump all suits and takes the trick. I have selected the card ‘Q’ from spoofing. Card ‘Q’ is an attacker could go after the way credentials are updated or recovered (account recovery doesn’t require disclosing the old password). Elevation of Privilege act as proofs that there is interesting work to be done in helping non-experts approach security.

Briefly explain Herzberg’s theory.

There are many theories in management on motivating humans; among them is Herzberg’s Theory. Frederick Herzberg, a psychologist of the mid-1900s, spent much of his career studying the phenomena of satisfaction and the conditions that influences satisfaction. This is important information for every manager.

Briefly explain Herzberg’s theory.

What significance does this theory have for the health care manager?
How can the health care manager capitalize one factor without neglecting the other?

You have been promoted to the role of office manager of a healthcare administration company. Prior to your assuming this role, you learn that the previous manager was lackluster and allowed employee morale and performance to go downhill.

You have been promoted to the role of office manager of a healthcare administration company. Prior to your assuming this role, you learn that the previous manager was lackluster and allowed employee morale and performance to go downhill. In your first few days on the job, you notice this behavior firsthand; there are a number of unproductive and nonperforming employees.

Some employees perform their job functions slowly and inefficiently, while others perform as little work as possible. Some come in late to work, or take long breaks and lunches. There is no system of accountability, nor are there rewards in place for excellent performance. The overall culture of the department has become sour and lazy.

What steps would you take to attempt to turn office morale and employee performance around? Be sure to discuss opportunities for employee education and training, and how the promotion of lifelong learning in the workplace for both you and your employees could bring about a positive change. Write in a response to each case scenario. Should be at least 500 words.

Evaluating the Doctrine of Consideration

Law Discussion Help – Must Be In Bluebook Format -350 Word Count

Evaluating the Doctrine of Consideration: Part II

Thread: As important as the law of consideration is to contemporary contract law, it has not always been the standard for enforcing contracts. Professor Pryor describes this history of thought on the doctrine of consideration as he evaluates it against the liberty principle from the 3 perspectives you considered in the last discussion board: the normative perspective, the situational perspective, and the existential perspective.

Describe what you think professor Pryor means when he refers to the “liberty principle.” Then, choose 1 of the 3 perspectives (normative, situational, or existential), that you think provides the strongest justification for consideration. Explain why you think, from a biblical worldview, that perspective provides the strongest justification of consideration, and be sure to include support from Scripture, including, but not limited to, those scriptural resources included in the article. For now, limit your focus on the liberty principle, rather than the jurisdictional principle, which is the subject of the next section.

Discuss which aspects of these theories are consistent or inconsistent with the biblical world view of law.
