Early adulthood

/in /by

The goals of this project are: (1) to involve the student in active data collection: to design and carry out a case study interview (2) to provide the student with experience in analyzing case history data (3) to extend the student’s knowledge of a topic by researching the literature

The project will consist of two phases: one, a case study and two, a research effort designed to help analyze and explain the data. The topic choices are listed below. You will choose one topic and study it in depth. The results of your case study and your discussion of the topic will be written up in formal term paper format (word-processed, footnotes, bibliography). Papers must focus on a particular “driving force” of the individual that you are interviewing and the research should be limited to that. These papers should NOT be a general review of the developmental tasks and psychosocial crisis of the stage of adulthood. Papers that review the developmental tasks and psychosocial crisis in general, will not earn any grade higher than a C. Focus, focus, focus!

1500 words about Knorr (the world’s 9th biggest food brand)

Subject: Branding and Marketing Communications Background: Knorr is the world’s 9th biggest food brand which has been used and trusted by millions of cooks across 87 markets. The Knorr cooking products range from stock cubes, soups, sauces to cooking chocolate. It is a trusted brand with a heritage stretching back 187 years. Globally, there has been a surge in interest in food so it could be argued that there never was a better time to be a food brand. The traditional category approach to marketing communications, of ‘mum cooking food for the kids’, might have appealed in the past but a different approach is needed for consumers today. Task: 1. Conduct some research into this brand – company, markets, products, sales etc. 2. Write an introduction to the essay where you provide the context for this global brand – the markets, the products, its sales etc. 3. Identify the key consumers of the brand. What are their characteristics? What part does this brand play in the lives of consumers who purchase this brand? 4. Discuss the approach to the positioning of the brand. What alternatives could they have taken? 5. Discuss how this brand advertises – on-line or offline or combinations. 6. Critically evaluate the marketing communication used by this brand. To what extent is it using integrated marketing communication using a range of digital and traditional tools? 7. Identify any circumstances which might have an impact on the effectiveness of the messages. 8. Briefly, evaluate the effectiveness of the marketing communications in achieving brand objectives. (It would be good to identify those brand objectives here first!). You may find it helpful to refer to particular campaigns such as the ‘Knorr: Love at first taste’ campaign as evidence. 9. REMEMBER THIS IS AN ESSAY Notes: 1. The essay should be 1500 words +/- 10% – excluding tables, charts, pictures, contents page, appendices and references. 2. The essay should follow the traditional pattern of introduction, main body of the essay and conclusion or summary. 3. DO NOT NUMBER or LABEL SECTIONS – as this would make it a report!!! 4. Please use paragraphs throughout – and do space between each paragraph. 5. Harvard referencing is to be used. 6. The numbering of each section in the brief above is there as a guide for you – do not number your paragraphs. 7. You can access some useful facts and figures on the ‘Knorr: Love at first taste’ campaign on the WARC site which you can access through the Sussex University library – electronic sources. 8. Why not have a look in a supermarket for the products of the brand.

Mass extinction

/in /by

As you have seen in the tutorial, we have gathered a lot of information about the organisms that lived before our time here on Earth. We have learned that many organisms no longer exist on our planet. We describe these organisms as extinct. From our fossil record, we have evidence of mass extinctions, during which huge numbers of organisms completely disappeared during a short period of time. In fact, it appears that mass extinctions have occurred several times in the earth’s history. Review the mass extinction(http://samnoblemuseum.ou.edu/understanding-extinction/mass-extinctions/) link to learn why this happens and how we know. Be sure to read the information found linked to each of these headings (located on the left-hand side of the website): End-Ordovician mass extinction Late Devonian mass extinction End-Permian mass extinction (the Great Dying) End-Triassic mass extinction End-Cretaceous mass extinction Now review the (http://samnoblemuseum.ou.edu/understanding-extinction/extinctions-in-the-recent-past-and-the-present-day/) that have occurred due to the effects of human activity. These Web sources, provided by the Sam Noble Museum(http://samnoblemuseum.ou.edu/understanding-extinction/mass-extinctions/), will also be components of your Case Assignment. How many major mass extinction periods are listed here? Follow the links from that page to learn more about each period. What caused each, and which major groups of species disappeared from each period? Read the article link on Recent Extinctions: Choose two of the recent extinctions(http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/animals/g201/recently-extinct-animals-list-470209/) listed on this link and explain why they occurred. Case Part II: Global Climate Change Scientists have concerns that human activities are changing our environment at rapid rates that could result in a sixth mass extinction. Let’s examine the evidence: Review the “Recent, Past and Present” section from Mass Extinctions(http://samnoblemuseum.ou.edu/understanding-extinction/extinctions-in-the-recent-past-and-the-present-day/). Also review the following link from the NASA website: https://climate.nasa.gov/causes/ Define greenhouse effect. Describe which gases are important to the greenhouse effect. What were listed as human activities related to greenhouse gas production from each link? How do humans contribute to both climate change and major extinction events? Some scientists think that human activities may be contributing to a sixth mass extinction event. What specific evidence do they site for this possible event? (you may need to conduct additional research to support your findings). Part III: Drawing Conclusions Now provide a summary that explains what conclusions you can make for yourself based on the evidence provided and what you now know about the geologic time scale of the history of the Earth. Assignment Expectations Organize this essay assignment using subtitles that summarize the topic from each question above. For example, to answer Question 1, use a descriptive subtitle like the following: Part I: Geologic History of the Earth/Major Events. Answer each question under the subtitle using complete sentences that relate back to the question. Be sure to use APA formatting throughout your essay with 1-inch margins, 12-point type, and double spacing throughout. Include a title page, introduction, answers to the questions with subtitles, and concluding paragraph. Remember to include in-text citations within the body of the essay referencing your resources (e.g., Murray, 2014). Also, be sure to include a reference section at the end of your assignment listing all required readings and any additional resources you used to complete your essay. A helpful guide to writing a quality essay can be found in Trident’s Student Guide to Writing a High-Quality Academic Paper. This guide also provides links to example essays written in APA format.

SCAP and Vulnerability Assessments

/in /by

If cybersecurity systems within an organization do not communicate or require manual updates to share information, then an attack could go undetected or delay detection.

In addition, organizations over time collaborate and add other stakeholders, which can become more difficult if there is not a common language and methodology for systems to interoperate. In order to future-proof cyber operations, management indicated they would like all cybersecurity tools to be SCAP compliant. SCAP stands for Security Content Automation Protocol.

It is designed to allow vendor agnostic communications between security products. In order to respond to management, you have been asked to research SCAP, understand the methodology and write an introduction to SCAP and a vendor compliance statement to give to the acquisition department and the CISO and CIO staff responsible for analyzing technology and recommending products.

Note that some products may not be directly SCAP compliant, i.e., server event logs are generated and stored locally. A SCAP-compliant Security Incident and Event Monitoring system may be able to read the logs and then push any reports or alerts into SCAP-compliant format. Conduct your research at the following website: https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/security-content-automation-protocol/ Now, compose the requested documentation of your research. You can write your assignment in a real world context, such as food industry, higher education, health care, and so on. Your paper should include the following information: -An introduction to SCAP and why it is important. -The requirement for systems procurement to include SCAP as a requirement on all newly acquired cybersecurity systems.
