In December 2017, 9-year old Jack and his mother (Harriet) were visiting their extended family in Melbourne. They were shopping in the city on 21 December when a driver drove his car into pedestrians at the corner of Flinders and Elizabeth streets. Jack and his mum witnessed this event (in which 18 people were injured, with an elderly man subsequently dying from his injuries). They were not in harm’s way (with the car traveling away from them and the driver quickly apprehended. However, Jack and his mum had multiple conversations about how they each thought they could have been killed during the attack. Two days later, Jack and his mum returned to their home in Brisbane.

Jack lives in an intact family consisting of his biological parents, Harriet and Peter, and his older sister Natalie. He is in Grade 4 at the local primary school and has lots of friends. He is also close to his parents and his grandparents (who are involved in his care during the week).

Immediately following his return home, Jack experienced nightmares on a few occasions about cars driving towards him. After the first nightmare, Jack’s dad (who has a history of anxiety and depression) encouraged Jack to sleep in the parents’ bedroom on a camp mattress. Despite mum’s suggestion that it is time for Jack to move back to his own bedroom, he is still sleeping in his parents’ room. Jack’s mum and dad have had many arguments about this situation. Peter’s (dad) perspective is that:

Jack is a very sensitive child who (even as a newborn baby) is more easily upset than other children;

Jack has been exposed to a traumatic experience in which he could have been killed;

Loving support (including avoidance of going into Brisbane city) is required to prevent Jack from developing ongoing mental health problems following this exposure; and

He (dad) could not cope if he lost one of his children.

From Harriet’s (mum) perspective:

The experience was upsetting but she and Jack were not hurt and were never likely to have been hurt (as she has discussed with Jack);

Peter (dad) needs to talk about the attack less; and

Jack is a healthy boy who seems to be handling the experience well.

Question: How likely do you think it is that Jack might develop a diagnosable mental health problem following his exposure to the attack in Melbourne? [Note, you are not being asked to identify possible mental health problems]. Identify 8 factors (a mixture of risk and protective factors – does not need to be 4 of each, but rather 8 in total) to justify your answer, and explain why each is either a risk or a protective factor.

[Note, you are not being asked to identify possible mental health problems]. Identify 8 factors (a mixture of risk and protective factors – does not need to be 4 of each; but rather 8 in total) to justify your answer, and explain why each is either  a risk or a protective factor.

Two scenarios are provided for the candidates. The candidates can provide appropriate solutions for any one or both the scenarios considering all the points.

Scenario 1:

An environment is attacked by zero-day attack with users identifying a notepad with attacker details and instructions to regain access, 60% of estate/users are impacted. Every endpoint had AV & EDR tools, but the machines were infected. Environment had required security controls for network, firewall, log monitoring, nothing was detected in SIEM. Backup strategy used is snapshot back-up on the same network in the same domain.

Using threat hunting techniques can we establish how hacker could have infiltrate and,

1. How to find what are the IOC’s.
2. How do you identify if any data exfiltration has happened?
3. Approach to restrict further propagation of malicious code in estate & immediate corrective actions.
4. What will be the incident response and recovery strategy ?

Scenario 2:

When looking at any security team, one thing you might notice is that there is a tool for everything. And we do mean everything: ticketing, threat intelligence, security investigations, malware analysis, detection, incident response, advanced persistent threats, security monitoring the list goes on.

Every organization wants the best of the best to build their defenses. This can often leave their security teams and security operations centers with a tool stack of uncooperative solutions that don’t communicate with one another, with their full value remaining untapped, and they can interrupt or even cancel each other out. The team becomes paralyzed by the sheer number of alerts generated by these solutions, losing time that could be spent on contextualized investigation and response.

We often cite alert fatigue as a common challenge in SOCs, and with good reason. Nobody likes alerts, because whether it’s a fire alarm, car alarm, or alarm for any other kind of emergency, it signals to us that a real threat is present. But after hearing alerts time and time again, all we hear is the boy who cried wolf. We downplay these alerts because we’ve spent so much of our precious time combing through them, only to reveal themselves as fake. In SOC terms, this leads to real threats being missed, often to devastating consequences.

There is a solution. That solution is connecting the tools that security teams run, to communicate with each other and do away with the tedious, time-consuming tasks that have a high potential for human error. Streamlining the process with which tools are used helps to keep security professionals from losing any of their precious time.

1. What is security orchestration?
2. What can we use security orchestration for?
3. What are the benefits of security orchestration?
4. What are the key elements that are needed for SOAR to perform as desired?
5. What is Automated response and how does it work, can you give an example?

(c) Based on National Safety Council statistics for injury facts, how does the safety and health record of this firm compare with that of other manufacturing companies and with industries in general? If no data are available for year 2016, use data for year 2007 for comparison. (Text book on Page 25)

You have been asked to teach a fitness class at your local community center three mornings a week. The community center weight room has 4 squat/press racks, bars, bumper plates, dumbbells and kettlebells in a range of sizes, 4 TRX units, cones, jump ropes, and a large open indoor space as well as an outdoor courtyard. You may bring in any additional equipment you would like.

Design a four-week cycle of classes in which you develop strength, endurance, and cardiovascular fitness in three classes per week. Provide scaling options for the different experience and fitness levels in each class. Develop this case study as you see fit, including defining your audience, describing what equipment and training style you will use, and explaining how you would deal with potential problems.

Include exercises and modifications for all four weeks, as well as a narrative of how you will set up your class and the necessary considerations. Use the template provided to design your case study.

Some questions that will help you design your class:

• Who is your target audience?
• What equipment do you plan on using?
• What are your teaching strengths/weaknesses? Ie, what equipment are you comfortable using to teach strength? Can you teach specific skill such as martial arts or dance? Do you like to incorporate games into your classes?
• How many people do you feel comfortable handling at one time?
• What are your core exercises going to be? How can you modify or substi-tute them to be more or less challenging?
• What is your goal for your participants? What methods/equipment are you going to use to teach your class?
• What is the duration of each class? What specific components are you go-ing to include on a daily and weekly basis?
• What does your warm-up and cool-down routine look like?
• What specific skills are you going to teach?
• How many segments will make up your workout? (1-3 is ideal) What training methods/equipment will you use for each segment?
• How will you progress your clients from week to week?

For mallard ducks and Canada geese, what percentage of nests are successful (at least one offspring survives)? Studies in Montana, Illinois, Wyoming, Utah, and California give the following percentages of successful nests (Reference: The Wildlife Society Press, Washington, D.C.).

(a) Use a calculator to verify that Σx = 301; Σx² = 20,561; Σy = 234; and Σy² = 12,294.

(b) Use the results of part (a) to compute the sample mean, variance, and standard deviation for x, the percent of successful mallard nests. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

(c) Use the results of part (a) to compute the sample mean, variance, and standard deviation for y, the percent of successful Canada goose nests. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

(d) Use the results of parts (b) and (c) to compute the coefficient of variation for successful mallard nests and Canada goose nests. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)

Write a brief explanation of the meaning of these numbers. What do these results say about the nesting success rates for mallards compared to Canada geese?

a. The CV is the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean; the CV for Canada goose nests is higher.

b. The CV is the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean; the CV for Canada goose nests is equal to the CV for mallard nests.    

c. The CV is the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean; the CV for mallard nests is higher.

d. The CV is the ratio of the standard deviation to the variance; the CV for Canada goose nests is higher.

e. The CV is the ratio of the standard deviation to the variance; the CV for Canada goose nests is equal to the CV for mallard nests.

g. The CV is the ratio of the standard deviation to the variance; the CV for mallard nests is higher.

Would you say one group of data is more or less consistent than the other? Explain.

a. The x data group is more consistent because the standard deviation is smaller.

b. The two groups are equally consistent because the standard deviations are equal.    

c. The y data group is more consistent because the standard deviation is smaller.

Not more than 250 words for each Question ,

1.Let’s say you are running a pet store (similar to Pet Co. but instead we’ll call it Pet Inc.). Right now you just have a retail business aimed at selling typical household pet products like dog food and cat litter etc. What is an area of value-generating diversification you can expand into? Be specific as to why you think this is value-generating. What could be an example of a value-destroying area of diversification?   

2.In 2008, Under Armour introduced their first athletic shoe in an attempt to capture some of the athletic footwear market. Until this point, UA primarily manufactured and sold sports apparel. Two weeks before the scheduled release of UA’s shoe, Nike responded by releasing a similar shoe at a price point $10 cheaper. Given what you know about competitive dynamics, how could you have predicted that Nike would respond so quickly and aggressively?

3.Three elements to this question. Choose a business with which you are familiar. First, briefly describe its business level strategy. Then describe the business’ primary value chain? Finally, what are one or two distinct activities at each section of the value chain that support the overarching business-level strategy?

4.Suppose in your town there is only one hairstylist that usually charges around $60 for a woman’s haircut. While that is a bit above average in price, the business has great reviews because the stylists are well-trained, are very creative, and they have great customer service. After doing some market research you determine that there is room in the market for another styling shop in the area. How would you compete with this other shop? Meaning, what would your business-level strategy be? Try to be specific and highlight the factors that drive your chosen strategy.

5. There have been a lot of interesting stories lately in the business press about the US retail industry. Most analysts agree that the industry has experienced significant changes. Think about what the industry might have been like about 20 years ago (~year 2000) versus how it is now. How do you feel the industry has changed in relation to Porter’s Five Forces?

IN PYTHON THANKS

A. You are a manager in Nelson & Co., a firm of Chartered Certified Accountants, with three offices and 12 partners. About one third of the firm’s clients are audit clients, the remainder are clients for whom Nelson & Co. performs tax, accounting and business advisory services. The firm is considering how to generate more revenue, and you have been asked to evaluate two suggestions made by the firm’s business development manager.

(i) An advertisement could be placed in national newspapers to attract new clients. The draft advertisement has been given to you for review:

Nelson & Co. is the largest and most professional accountancy and audit provider in the country. We offer a range of services in addition to audit, which are guaranteed to improve your business efficiency and save you tax.

If you are unhappy with your auditors, we can offer a second opinion on the report that has been given.

Introductory offer: for all new clients we offer a 25% discount when both audit and tax services are provided. Our rates are approved by ACCA.

(ii) A new partner with experience in the banking sector has joined Nelson & Co. It has been suggested that the partner could specialise in offering a corporate finance service to clients. In particular, the partner could advise clients on raising debt finance, and would negotiate with the client’s bank or other provider of finance on behalf of the client. The fee charged for this service would be contingent on the client obtaining the finance with a borrowing cost below market rate.

You are required to:

1. Evaluate each of the suggestions made above, commenting on the ethical and professional issues raised. Your response should be at minimum 200 words. You need to take into consideration ACCA’s Fundamental Principles and the threats to comply with them when completing your answer.

B. You have set up an internal discussion board, on which current issues are debated by employees and partners of Nelson & Co. One posting to the board concerned the compulsory rotation of audit firms, whereby it has been suggested in the press that after a pre-determined period, an audit firm must resign from office, to be replaced by a new audit provider.

Based on the above you are required to:

(i) Explain the ethical threats created by a long association with an audit client.

(ii) Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of compulsory audit firm rotation.

I am trying to make a Risk Management tool in Python. I have it partially started. The scenario is that the Project Manager needs to be able to log on and enter information ( the required information is located in the code). I then need to capture that data and store it in an array with the ability to call back and make changes if necessary. Could you please help me out and explain what was done?
