What do you gain from being able to "see" the data in a graphic presentation, that a table of the data may not readily provide? Discuss and explain why.

Would you rather work with data in its original state, or convert it to standardized data? Explain why.

In Maus, Art Spiegelman produces what can be seen as a reaction to the Holo caust and its complicated aftermath in a unique way. It is a graphic representation of the various horrors of the Holocaust and he chooses to make his characters anthropomorphic. What is the purpose of Spiegelman's use of anthropomorphic characters?

Nestlé's reputation was damaged when the company was accused of which of the following? Group of answer choices forcing mothers to buy baby formula within days of delivering their babies providing cheap formula to mothers in developing countries, but more expensive to mothers in developed countries selling poor quality bottled water to developing countries promoting inadequate nutrition in developing countries

MedQuip, a company that specialises in the production of personalised medical equipment, was recently accused of failing to reasonably secure the Protected Health Information (PHI) and Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of its customers. Between June 19 and July 12 2019, MedQuip’s network was breached, with the attacker stealing over a million PHI and PII records. A law enforcement investigation and forensic analysis of MedQuip’s network found that the attacker first penetrated the network through a third-party user’s computer. Due to weak segmentation between non-sensitive and sensitive parts of MedQuip network, the attacker was able to access and modify sensitive PHI and PII data for the purpose of selling the data to MedQuip’s competitor. MedQuip’s Internal IT staff had stored sensitive data in an unencrypted format on unencrypted hard drives, making it easy for the attacker to access and steal sensitive data. This highlights a gap in knowledge with respect to appropriate IT security practices and reveals MedQuip’s lack of understanding regarding the consequences of poor information security. It is estimated that the billing information of 9,000 customers was compromised. While it is understood that MedQuip has a robust IT security policy based on industry regulations, it appears the policy hasn’t been enforced, making it possible for the breach to be successful. In a press conference discussing the incident, the IT director commented that while the company had an IT security policy in place to prevent such breaches, security controls defined in the policy relating to data handling and storage had not been implemented. Following further internal investigations, the concerned employees could not be penalised as the IT security policy did not meet certain criteria.

5. Describe the criteria that must be met by MedQuip to make its security policy enforceable?

6. What mistakes did senior management make with respect to the organisation’s information security?

7. What mistake did the IT staff make with respect to data security?

8. Provide one (1) example each of how MedQuip may safeguard its Hardware, Software, Data, Procedure, and People.

Cambridge Analytics is considering a four-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $600,000 is estimated to result in $210,000 pretax cost savings annually. The press will be depreciated equally to zero per year and can be sold for $80,000 at the end of its life. The press also requires an initial investment in inventory of $20,000, and the level of inventory increases by $3,000 every year. Tax rate is 17% and the discount rate is 9%. Should the company undertake the project?

1. What traits of bacteria make them capable of quickly developing antibiotic resistance?

Choose 2 of these traits and explain how they could contribute to antibiotic resistance in a bacterial population.
(Hint: Think of how bacteria reproduce.)

2. In the Herd Immunity assignment, you saw visualizations of diseases like Seasonal Flu, Ebola, and Measles spreading through populations at various levels of vaccination.
In the event of a new, or "novel" disease there is no vaccine available. This is comparable to the infection rates you saw at 0% vaccination.

The pandemic we are currently living through is caused by a novel coronavirus called COVID-19.
Explain how, in the absence of a vaccine, social distancing can help to slow the spread of disease.

From the text How People Learn, synapse strength is driven by which of the following?

Question 1 options:

A woman has just had twins, a boy and a girl. The woman’s father has two X-linked recessive disorders, haemophilia and colour-blindness, but the woman is unaffected. The father of the children has neither disorder. Both disorders are completely penetrant. The loci for the two traits are known to be 5cM apart.

a) What is the probability that the boy will be colour-blind but not haemophilic? Explain your answer, including showing the genotypes and phenotypes of the family. [10 marks]

b) What is the probability that the girl will be unaffected (i.e. not haemophilic and not colour-blind)? Explain your answer.

(This question is related with orthopedics. Thanks.)

A 5 years old boy is brought to the outpatient clinics of orthopaedics and traumatology department. The family complaints that the boy has a limping gait for a few weeks without a trauma history. The child has also some constitutional symptoms like mild fever and easy fatigability. The pelvis x ray demonstrates a lamellar type periosteal reaction on the left proximal femur. What is your differential diagnosis? Which key methods would be appropriate for a proper diagnosis? (max: 150 words)

The state of California conducted an experiment with college students. Teachers and students were randomly assigned to be in a regular sized class or a small sized class. The dependent variable is the student’s score on a math test (MATHSCORE). Let SMALL = 1 if the student is in a small class and SMALL = 0 otherwise. The other variable of interest is the number of years of teacher experience, given by TCHEXPER. Let BOY = 1 if the stu- dent is male and BOY = 0 if the student is female.

a) (5 points) Write down the model for the dependent variable MATHSCORE as a function of SMALL, TCHEXPER, BOY and BOY*TCHEXPER, with pa-

rameters β1 , β2 , β2 , ... etc.

b) (5 points) What is the expected math score for a male student in a small class with a teacher having 10 years of experience? (Your answer will be in terms of the model parameters, including βi’s).

c) (5 points) What is the change in the expected math score for a male student

in a small class with a teacher having 11 years of experience rather than 10? d) (5 points) State the marginal effect of teacher experience on expected math scores.
e) (5 points) State, in terms of model parameters, the null hypothesis that the marginal effect of teacher experience on expected math score does not
differ between men and women, against the alternative that men benefit
more from teacher experience.
