you will explore how graph coloring concepts can be applied to the real-world problem of installing Wi-Fi stations in an office. Suppose that an office is installing four Wi-Fi stations throughout the building, and that any stations within 150 feet of each other must transmit on different channels. Complete the following tasks: Create your own office configuration and fill in the table with the distances between each pair of Wi-Fi stations in your office. (Note: The maximum distance possible between any two Wi-Fi stations is 200 ft.) Station #1 Station #2 Station #3 Station #4 Station #1 Station #2 Station #3 Station #4 Suppose the engineers want to minimize the number of channels. Draw a graph that would be useful to solve this problem. (Hint: Edges should connect two stations when the distance is less than 150 feet.) Discuss how this problem can be solved using graph coloring concepts. Solve the problem. Explain what the chromatic number of the graph you created in part (b) would tell the engineers installing the Wi-Fi stations. Additional Requirements: Paper must be written in person. Your paper should be 3-4 pages in length (counting the title page and references page) and cite and integrate at least one credible outside source. The CSU-Global Library (Links to an external site.) is a great place to find resources. Your textbook is a credible resource. Include a title page, introduction, body, conclusion, and a reference page. The introduction should describe or summarize the topic or problem. It might discuss the importance of the topic or how it affects you or society as a whole, or it might discuss or describe the unique terminology associated with the topic. The body of your paper should answer the questions posed in the problem. Explain how you approached and answered the question or solved the problem, and, for each question, show all steps involved. Be sure this is in paragraph format, not numbered answers like a homework assignment. The conclusion should summarize your thoughts about what you have determined from the data and your analysis, often with a broader personal or societal perspective in mind. Nothing new should be introduced in the conclusion that was not previously discussed in the body paragraphs. Include any tables of data or calculations, calculated values, and/or graphs associated with this problem in the body of your assignment. Document formatting, citations, and style should conform to the CSU-Global Library’s CSU-Global Guide to Writing & APA: Introduction (Links to an external site.). A short summary containing much that you need to know about paper formatting, citations, and references is contained in the New Sample APA Paper (Links to an external site.). In addition, information in the CSU-Global Library (Links to an external site.) under the Writing Center/APA Resources tab has many helpful areas (Writing Center, Writing Tips, Template & Examples/Papers & Essays, and others).

LISSA: Ethnography Essays

This essay assignment asks you to examine and discuss key concepts from the graphic ethnography, LISSA, by Sherine Hamdy and Coleman Nye with illustrations by Sarula Bao and Caroline Brewer (2018). Please choose two of the essay topics listed below.

Ethnography Essays

-For each essay response, please write a five-paragraph essay with an introduction and conclusion. -Choose three different subtopics to discuss within the overall question, and develop these fully in each of the three body paragraphs. Use course vocabulary where you can. Remember topic sentences and concluding sentences. -Please include supporting quotes from the text in each body paragraph with page number citations, like this “(87).” -If you do not have page numbers in your copy of the book, please write: “(page number unavailable).” Example: On the two-page spread with images of cancer, DNA, and money, a cancer patient says, “With cancer, it is hard to tell the difference between the cure and the cause” (page number unavailable). -When using a quote in your essay, introduce the quote, give the quote, and explain why you used it (what I call a quote “sandwich”). Quotes should be used as evidence to support your assertions.

-You may write more than five paragraphs if you like, but each essay may be no more than 2 pages, double-spaced, with 10-12 pt. font. -Please include the complete reference for the text in APA format. If you need help with APA format for references, search online for The OWL at Purdue (online writing lab). ESSAY QUESTIONS – Choose two 1. How does religion play a role in Lissa? 2. How does the book Lissa use health and illness to illustrate the various characteristics of the political, cultural, and religious environment during the Egyptian Revolution? 3, How does the book illustrate the different means of communication between characters? 4. How does the title of the book and its meaning affect the lives of the girls?

Problems and Opportunities created by having too much data, and what to do about them

 

Problems and Opportunities created by having too much data and what to do about them

When you’ve had a chance to read these articles, anything from the Background that is helpful to you, or anything else you may have come across, please write a 3- to 5-page paper discussing the question: Problems and Opportunities created by having too much data, and what to do about them Your paper should be between three and five pages. Take a definite stand on the issues, and develop your supporting argument carefully. Using material from the background information and any other sources you can find to support specific points in your argument is highly recommended; avoid making assertions for which you can find no support other than your own opinion. Your paper is to be structured as a point/counterpoint argument, in the following manner. Begin this paper by stating your position on this question clearly and concisely Citing appropriate sources, present the reasons why you take this position. Be sure to make the most effective case you can. Then present the best evidence you can, again cite appropriate sources, against your position — that is, establish what counterarguments can be made to your original position. Finally, review your original position in light of the counterarguments, showing how they are inadequate to rebut your original statement. By the end of your paper, you should be able to unequivocally re-affirm your original position. The case for this module revolves around the question of large-scale data and the implications of database capabilities for organizational data management. As we’ve said, the change from data as a scarce resource to data as overabundance is still a major concern for organizations. Here, you’ll have a chance to consider the value of data and information. Data storage and management was seldom considered a particularly exciting topic; however, when data is used for making better decisions and/or enhancing organizational performance, it is amazing how quickly organizational (and personal) interest can be created. The new state of having rather too much data to fit into the established databases is increasingly called “big data.” Big data arises from a combination of cheap storage, multiple data input streams, and a general sense that with all of this, there ought to be valuable data in there somewhere. Here are a couple of sources that begin to discuss these issues; you can undoubtedly find more: Challenges and Opportunities with Big Data (2013). Mehrotra, P., Pryor, L., Bailey, F. and Cotnoir, M. (2014). Supporting “Big Data” Analysis and Analytiics at the NSAS Supercomputing Facility. NAS Technical Report: NAS-2014-02. Kaisler, S., Armour, F., Espinosa, J.A., and Money, W. (2013). Big data: Issues and challenge moving forward. 46th Hawaii International Conference on Systems Sciences, 1-10. The trick to coping with “big data” is, of course, better data analytics — that is, that set of statistical mining, and related analytical tools that can be used to identify patterns in the data, assess a variety of associations, and generally illuminate the knowledge that might otherwise be buried in the mounds of numbers. Today, analytics is a rapidly expanding field. Raghupathi, W. and Raghupathi, V. (2014). Big data analytics in healthcare: Promise and potential. Health and Information Science and Systems, 2(3), 1-10. ISO/IEC JTC 1 Information Technology Big Data, Preliminary Report, 1-36. Fujitsu (2015). The White Book of Big Data: The definitive guide to the revolution in business analytics. So the case for this module revolves around the challenges of “big data” — that is, how to manage it, create reasonable analysis strategies, and at the same time avoid becoming totally dependent on it. Data makes a very good servant, but not a very attractive master.

Public Relations and Persuasion

1) Read the case carefully and make notes. Peruse the case: Read through the facts, discussion and commentary. Make a brief outline: Who is involved in the case? What ethical dilemmas do they face? Are there any special circumstances that would influence the outcome?

Public Relations and Persuasion

Apply an ethical decision-making tool (e.g. the Potter Box (first case study), Doing Ethics or SAD Formula): What are the ethical issues involved? The values? How can those values be applied as principles? What are the loyalties? Who are the stakeholders involved? How would the decision play in the court of public opinion?

The ethical decision: Do you agree with the ethical decision, if one was made? What would you have done? What ethical theories can you use to justify your decision? Reformulate the problem: What is the case really about? What ethical issues are central to the problem? What conflicts between ideas, perspectives, or values are involved in deciding what action to take? Whose interests (e.g. public, subject, client, company, journalist, advertiser, PR practitioner) are really at stake? What are the alternatives? What would you have done differently if you were in charge?

Did they act in a responsible and ethical manner? Make thoughtful assumptions about the information not available in the case. 2. Now you are ready to write your analysis – two to three typed double-spaced pages minimum. Include answers to the above questions, as well as your own insights.

Some questions do not have a right or wrong answer. Credit will be given for answers that demonstrate thoughtful, careful reading of the case, originality, analysis, good writing and neatness. Essays will be evaluated on the basis of both substance and style. Essays should be well organized; written in clear, coherent sentences and paragraphs; follow the common canons of good grammar (complete sentences, no split infinitives, appropriate use of commas, etc.); use only correctly spelled words.
