Functional description

The Public Health Informatics and Technology Program's IT system was developed by the Office of Surveillance, Epidemiology, and Laboratory Services (OSELS).The CDC division response for its deployment and maintenance is the Division of Informatics esearch and Development (DID) whose role is to advance the frontiers of public health informatics by means of appropriate research and development. The DID division is to collaborate with the other members of the CDC programs in order to come up with various innovative technologies to be utilized in positively impacting the various health practices in both short-term and long-term basis (CDC, 2010).

Public Health Informatics and Technology Program relies on various technologies in achieving its objectives. The underlying characteristic of these technologies is that they are client/server in their architecture are meant to aid in the handling of various forms of information in the CDC corporation and well as externally between CDC and its other….

Over the last several years, many small and medium sized businesses have been turning to cloud computing as a way of storing, retrieving and accessing vital information. This is when a third party provider will offer firms with these services at a fraction of the cost of traditional IT departments. Moreover, there is unlimited storage capacity and firms can readily protect themselves against vulnerabilities at a particular site. These benefits are leading to nearly 60% of all corporations using this to reduce expenses and improve productivity. The results are that more firms are realizing higher profit margins from effectively outsourcing these functions. (Hashizume, 2013) (Kouns, 2011) (Panda, 2013)

However, the use of third party providers is also very risky. This is because they are leaving their most sensitive data with third party organizations. That may not understand the needs of the company or incorporate proper security protocols. The impact….

Man-made risks are significant, and include fire and pollution. Fire can occur in residential, commercial, or wildland form. Fire occurs as a result of human error at home or in the workplace. Wildland fires can start as a result of unsupervised campfires burning matches or live cigarettes (El Dorado Hills Fire Dept, 2010). Because the rainfall per year for the area is fairly low, wildland fires are a significant risk. This risk is however lowered by the fact that wind poses no risk. The lack of very strong winds also provides for the possibility that the fire department can control a wildland fire fairly easily should it be detected in time.

esidential and commercial fires pose a lesser risk, because these are generally mitigated by prevention and warning measures such as smoke detectors, fire alarms, and fire extinguishers within the home or workplace. Furthermore, nearly constant human presence in residential and….

isk Assessment of Four-year-Old Girl
We each have a range of possibilities before us from the moment that we are born. However, we are each also at least in some ways limited from the moment of our birth because we do not come into the world as if we were a blank slate. This paper examines the ways in which one child had many of her "choices" already made for her. (The girl is now twelve.) This include her parents' background and history as well as limitations (and opportunities) determined by physical disabilities.

The first part of this assessment is related to the child's father. He is self-employed as a general contractor. He finished high school and speaks English at home. There are no specific warning signs in terms of his status. He seems to be relatively stable, although being self-employed clearly brings about a certain instability that does not exist for….

Psychology differs from other sciences, such as physics or chemistry, where test conditions and parameters are easier to control. In psychology, there are factors that are easily controlled, but there are also circumstances that are beyond the control of the researcher. For instance, the researcher cannot control a history of abuse, or social teaching that occurred in the subject's childhood. All of these factors could affect the outcome of the test, but are not controllable from the researcher's standpoint.

The presence of confounding variables makes it difficult to attribute the study findings to the hypothesis beyond the shadow of a doubt. Confounding variables, such as we have discussed, make it difficult to isolate the independent and dependent variable. This is another key criterion of a valid empirical study. In order to demonstrate causality, the researcher must be able to isolate the independent and dependent variable with some certainty. Without this element,….

The current economic climate is more challenging than ever and economic agents face incremental difficulties in registering profits through the serving of a population with a decreasing purchasing power. Nevertheless, in a context in which most economic agents register decreasing revenues, America's number one retailer -- Wal-Mart -- registers growing profits.

The company does nevertheless encounter numerous challenges as a result of internal vulnerabilities and external threats. In addressing the risks which face Wal-Mart, the current report has used the Risk Management Guide for Information Technology Systems, from the Special Publication 800-30 of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The choice for this methodology was made as it is easily accessible and applicable, regardless of the field in which the entity operates.

The analysis of the risk has revealed two primarily….

SAFETY AND HEALTH ISKS: UK

Workers' health and safety has become a major issue of debate in the UK corporate world because it has been found that in several cases, occupational injuries occur not due to the negligence of the employees but more because of the inappropriate safety measures. While not every person would agree with this, at least those in the legal profession maintain that employers can be charged with serious OHS offence if available evidence suggests that the reason behind death of an employee was unsafe working environment. (Wells: p.5) While the employers are required to conform to certain health and safety guidelines, it is still believed that United Kingdom is experiencing a sudden increase in the number of injuries and deaths on workplace making the British working environment rather unsafe.

Evening News (2001) reports:

The number of work-related deaths in the UK increased by 75 last year, reversing an….

It is also quite possible to use the file system's security characteristics or features in order to protect accessibility to the device management application itself. Then unauthorized users will not be in a position to read the application file, and they will not be able to run the application and have to attempt to guess a legitimate logon password in each of the step providing an extra layer of secured protection.

Confidentiality

In general any organization in a stable state has built in systems to decide on required confidentiality of information even within the organization, but when important changes take place to the organization, and then this concept of confidentiality is disturbed.

Secondly, someone not in the minibus party of workers should be aware of the minibus' regular route and when the workers are expected to arrive at their designation, to raise the alarm if they are late. Thirdly, the workers, while waiting for repairs and assistance, should know how to avoid personal injury, even in the dark on a busy country road with few lights and comfortable places to wait by the road. And lastly and ideally, the workers should have some personal knowledge of self-defense, in the event of being attacked by a transient, especially in the dark.
If the company requires the workers to travel frequently because of the nature of their work and occupation, instructing the workers how to repair a punctured tire as part of their initial instruction might not be a bad idea. Thus, the risk assessment method statement should not have merely been regarding the….

Terrorists and acts of terrorism have become unpredictable. Today terrorism has adopted a new dimension. This makes it difficult to differentiate between the preparation for a terrorist induced disaster and a natural/technological disaster. Over the years the United States has encountered several terrorist attacks in the eighties hijackings of planes was prevalent and in the nineties and the new millennium attacks on buildings such as the World Trade Center in New York and U.S. foreign embassies such as one in Nairobi, Kenya and Darussalam, Tanzania. The interesting issue is that it is not easy to predict their next mode of attack; many anti-terrorist experts are suspicious about the involvement of chemical or biological weapons (Heng, 2006 ).

In addition, terrorist are no longer bear the profile of the traditional enemy, some of them are Americans and not easy to identify as terrorist, Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma bomber, was born April….

Communication strategies also focus on assisting the public with post-risk claims.
Broward County also places great emphasis on claims and liability, as well as protecting the financial assets of the county. Dangerous risk factors themselves, as well as the prevention of these, are of secondary importance. The same is true for the Enterprise Risk Management site of Carolina. The focus here is mainly on the institutions and the risks directly affecting the University. The emphasis here is also on finance, by including as many types of risk as possible under a single umbrella. This however tends to overwhelm other issues, such as stakeholders besides the University. The risks addressed focus only on those facing the university, without mention of possible risks to parties affiliated with the institution.

The Cuyahoga County Department of Central ervices also addresses the issue of claims, but does so against the background of various categories of risk….

There are a variety of ways in which the risks of an organization can be assessed, including many different forms or methods of qualitative analysis. Determining specific frameworks, theories, and models for assessing qualitative risks that face an organization can be even more essential and complex than developing an assessment plan for assessing quantitative risks; due to their very nature, qualitative elements of an organization are by definition more subjective, more difficult to concretely measure, and more unpredictable in their effects due to these variations in understanding and measurement (Hutter & Power 2005). Many of the qualitative risks that can confront an organization and potentially thwart its growth and success if not properly dealt with come from the human elements of the organization, such as knowledge and skill levels, and risk identification and assessment in these areas has its own set of ethical and practical complications (Duffey &….

Crisis management refers to many things, but in a business context it specifically refers to how a firm identifies threats to both the business and its stakeholders and how the organization deals with the threats.  Many large organizations have crisis management plans, but smaller businesses should have them as well, since it is entirely possible for small businesses to be impacted by crisis scenarios. The possible negative outcomes of these types of crisis range from a decline in revenue all the way to the total loss of the company.  This is of....
