A prototype application for the measurement of data breach event intensity
No full textThe data breach phenomenon is not new. People have valued information, its protection, and its security for centuries. A data breach is the loss of control over one’s information. In contemporary society (circa 2024), a data breach can occur in several ways: through accidental disclosure, negligence, or malicious action. Likewise, the study of the data breach phenomenon is not new. As with other studies, this research effort seeks to expand the current body of knowledge concerning data breaches. However, unlike previous research, we adopt a novel approach to further our understanding of the phenomenon. By employing topological and phenomenological thinking, we have created a prototype allowing continuous, sustained, and scalable measurement of data breach intensity. Our data is derived from open sources, while the prototype application integrates both open and commercial applications. The goals of this study are to establish a process for collecting and storing data breach information using open sources; measure the intensity of data breaches based on stored open-source information; conduct statistical analysis of the data; present a novel instrument for measuring data breach intensity; and develop a prototype application that enables the storage, analysis, and measurement of data breaches. The research has successfully achieved its stated goals, demonstrating a thorough and comprehensive approach. First, a robust method of gathering and storing data breach event information was created. Second, an instrument to measure individual data breach event intensity was meticulously developed. Lastly, a prototype application was completed to store and analyze data breach events, ensuring a complete and detailed understanding of the data. Future research anchored to this manuscript is possible. The development of a new instrument allows for recursive study as well as forward-looking research efforts. For example, we can now recursively examine customer sentiment after a data breach event by examining the relationship between sentiment and intensity. Moreover, future research can discuss the cousins of data breach intensity (e.g., severity, density, and magnitude). However, there were some limitations to the research. The most glaring limitation was the inclusion of modifiers in the instrument. As discussed in more detail, these modifiers may have served better as modifiers or as a part of other equations (e.g., a severity equation)
Aray Women Clothes Analysis
Get PDFMany clothing artifacts we find in museums or archives have been saved because of how special and precious they were. It is rare that there are everyday clothes that have survived generations. This final project examines three articles of clothing from the prominent African American Aray family of Ypsilanti held at the Ypsilanti Historical Society: a pair of gloves, a shirtwaist, and a skirt. Through material culture analysis, they reveal common everyday clothing trends with personalized touches. The research identified which Aray women wore these items, the mid to late 1800s clothing trends, how common these clothing items were, and how they relate to clothing of today. The fashions are typical of their era, showing the ingenuity of low to middle class families while still adhering to societal expectations for fashion. The Aray family appears to have adhered to the same fashion standards of their white neighbors with efforts to present themselves in a similar way to the rest of the community
Getting /srs about tone tags
Get PDFIn digital modes of communication, speakers may struggle to convey their tone and emotions to their readers and interlocutors. This complication leads to questions surrounding the state of the conventions for conveying tone in digital utterances (e.g., tweets). This thesis explores one such way that speakers overcome this struggle, tone tags. Tone tags are linguistic items consisting of a forward slash and an alphabetic character or characters that serve to represent some word or phrase, generally used to indicate the intended spirit of the utterance. This thesis serves as an analysis of these items, including necessary context, an explanation of how tone tags relate to pre-existing features of English, and a linguistic analysis of tone tags collected from various social media platforms, specifically in regard to their syntactic distribution and semantic scope. The thesis ends with the conclusion that tone tags, while related to other lexical items (e.g.,adverbs), seem to project their own syntactic category with a range of unique properties
In a hell of our own creation: Spatial context and the Wehrmacht’s genocidal war in Eastern Europe, 1941–1943
Get PDFA multitude of social, ideological, psychological, and environmental factors encouraged German servicemen to willingly commit atrocities in Eastern Europe during the Second World War. How should historians contextualize which factors held greater influence over servicemen deployed to different sectors of the vast Eastern Front? Charles Calcaterra highlights soldiers’ responses to their surrounding environments—the landscape of Eastern Europe—to explain why frontline divisions killed and destroyed indiscriminately in accessory to the Holocaust while rearguard personnel socially justified roundups, executions, and the horrid maltreatment of Red Army prisoners of war. Through the lens of military geography, the spatial contexts that fostered frontline units’ existential fear of combat, their struggle to procure food and supplies, soldiers’ brutal responses to the threat of partisan activity, and rearguard troops’ passive apathy toward the suffering of Eastern Europeans bolstered the Wehrmacht and Ordnungspolizei’s complicity in Adolf Hitler’s war of annihilation
Impact of nursing student-staff nurse interactions in clinical settings: A literature review
Get PDFNursing students receive education and experience from clinicals where they are supported by clinical instructors. These instructors rely on staff nurses to provide much of the hands-on education, thus causing the staff nurses to have an influence on the students. The aim of literature review is to understand current research and findings in regard to the impact staff nurses have on nursing students while in the clinical learning environment. This literature review utilized multiple online databases. Searches were conducted on articles from 2016 to 2024 with specific key terms such as student-staff nurse relationships, clinical learning, belonging, incivility, and positive impacts. Staff nurses have both positive and negative impacts on nursing students. Positive impacts include confidence and respect leading to further learning and continuation in nursing. Negative impacts include incivility leading to anxiety, depression, and feelings of inadequacy. Staff nurses may not be provided with adequate preparation and support to guide students, leading to the overall negative impacts. It is beneficial to investigate these impacts as learning and preparing nursing students for their careers is crucial. Understanding these impacts may also provide further opportunities for staff nurse support and direct preparation for mentorship roles which could reduce the impacts of negative learning experiences for nursing students
After you are gone: Using letters of intent to coordinate the roles of guardians and trustees
No full textClients with special needs, especially those whose disabilities present in childhood, may be beneficiaries of one or more special needs planning tools while subject to guardianship. Each of these tools brings into play the opportunity to provide guidance for coordinating the wishes of the grantor with the responsibilities and obligations of other third-party entities such as guardians and trustees. To avoid potential conflicts and provide maximum protection to the beneficiary, this article reviews the issues likely facing the grantor(s) and provides strategic guidance to financial planners to advise clients on how to effectively coordinate each of these roles
