Your response to each question must be at least two pages in length.

You must respond using APA format. There is no requirement for an abstract, table of contents, etc., but remember to properly cite all sources. Use appropriate formatting with standard fonts and font size.

Questions

1.    From our review of Water Systems in week three, outline the activities taken by the EPA to monitor our water supply through its implementation of an anomaly detection system, the cybersecurity vulnerabilities within this CI, the policies, politics, and other elements that either support or hinder successfully securing our national water systems, and your overall perspective of the technical and operational challenges going forward.

(See attachment #1 – Anomaly Detection In Water Management System)

2.    Outline the specifics of Clarke’s “Defensive Triad” concept to protect CI.  Include an assessment of each of his three legs of the triad, and your perspective of the effectiveness, flaws, challenges, and potential success of implementing a cybersecurity policy that adheres to his Defensive Triad concept.

NOTES: See attachment #2 – Clarke’s “Defensive Triad” (Need to print and upload)

First is the backbone. Pg. 160, The second prong of the defensive triad is a secure power grid. Pg. 167, The third prong of the Defensive Triad is Defense itself, as in the Department of Defense. Pg. 170)

3.    Discuss the elements impacting Cybersecurity infrastructure, then identify explain the three elements you believe they should be in the top-tier from a priority perspective (impact on the nation, cost, etc.), and outline how (use specific real world and theoretical examples) those factors could impact the American people (government, individuals, companies, organizations). (To help organizations charged with providing the nation’s financial, energy, health care, and other critical systems better protect their information and physical assets from cyber-attack, the Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) today released a Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity.

Should the government always try to prevent a monopoly occurring in a market?

September 2, 2020 Leave a comment Economics, UK

Hi the instructions might be a little bit confusing but you can ask me anything.
The topic I have chosen is  ”Should the government always try to prevent a monopoly occurring in a market?”

However, my college said the essay has to answer these questions:
1.    What is your question and why did you choose it? (I have chosen the question already its the one above)
2.    What concepts, ideas and models in Economics (ECON0002) could you use to help you answer this question? Explain what the concepts/tools/models are and why they are useful for this question. You should aim to refer to at least two different concepts/tools/models. Use the glossary from The Economy.  (Econ0002 is my pure econ module, i will send the link to this book so you can use it. Remember you have to use any two theories/models/concepts from this book to answer. So far the units i have done are unit 1-17,19,22)
3.    What concepts or tools that you learnt in Mathematics (ECON0010) and/or linked to the Leibnizes and assignments of ECON0002 do you think you could use when applying these Economics concepts, ideas and models to your question? Explain what the concepts or tools are and why they are useful for this question. You should aim to refer to at least two different mathematical concepts or tools. (Same as above you have to mention two math concepts that i have learnt that can be applied to the argument. You dont have to explain the concecpt just say why the concepts can be used in the case. I will send you the year 1 maths topics i have learnt)
4.    What kind of data or evidence would be useful to have to answer your question? You should think across Economics (ECON0002), Applied Economics (ECON0004) and any relevant optional or elective modules. Be as specific as you can about the evidence that would be useful but again note that you do not have to find the data for this exercise. You should aim to mention at least two different types of data/evidence that you think would be useful. (i will send you the topics of econ 0004 as well)
5.    Considering what you have learnt in Statistics (ECON0005), Applied Economics (ECON0004) and any other relevant optional or elective modules, how might you try to analyse the evidence if you had it? Please explain as clearly as possible what statistical or econometric approach you would use. (i will send you the the topics)
6.    Have you heard of or read about any other economists, or someone from another discipline, who has looked at this or a similar question in any of your modules this year? If your answer to this is yes, briefly mention one person that you have read about, or whose work you have read, and provide a brief summary of what they said. If your answer to this is no, comment on why you think this might be the case.

SORRY THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE CONFUSING BUT PLEASE FOLLOW THEM. ASK ME ANYTHING. Word limit (1000 – 1500)

Website to my ECON0002 –  https://core-econ.org/the-economy/book/text/0-3-contents.html
(only units 1-17,19,22)

Topics I have learnt in ECON0010 – Vectors, linear dependence and independence. Matrix algebra.,Systems of linear equations, Gaussian elimination, reduction to echelon form. Inverse of a matrix. Determinants, Quadratic forms.

Topics I have learnt in ECON0004 – Introduction to data, economic modelling and econometrics, the regression model and OLS estimator, properties of OLS estimator and hypothesis testing, multiple regression and functional form issues, causality, experimental and quasi-experimental evidence, consumer demand, consumption and saving, employment and Minimum Wages, labour supply

ECON0005 – Introduction and Describing data, probability, conditional probability, independence, Bayess rule, discrete Random Variables, continuous Random Variables, Sampling and Sampling Distributions, Point and Interval Estimation, Hypothesis Testing, Simple Linear Regression

REMEMBER WHY THEY SAID PICK TWO THEORIES YOU DONT HAVE TO USE THEM JUST EXPLAIN WHY COULD YOU USE THEM IN ANSWER THIS TOPIC

THANK YOU!

Organisational Context

September 2, 2020 Leave a comment Chicago / Turabian, Natural science

Describe in your own words what is meant by the term organizational context. Then, perform research in  Google Scholar, or a professional or peer-reviewed source and select an example of an organization with which you are familiar, or an organization that you would like to know more about. You can use a business organization, a government division or agency, a non-governmental organization, or a non-profit business as your example.

NOTE: I highly recommend you use a small to medium sized entity that has already been certified to the 14001 standard in your analysis, or you could use the organization that employs you. You will have the option of performing more detailed analyses of this organization as the class progresses. Many states have environmental leadership programs which recognize companies with certified environmental management systems. For some examples, Colorado’s Environmental Leadership Program can be found at https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdphe/environmental-leadership-program.

Utilizing your chosen example, describe each of the following items, as appropriate:

The external environmental conditions that can either affect the organizations purpose, or be affected by its operations;
The external cultural, social, political, legal, regulatory, financial, technological, economic, and competitive circumstances in which the organization operates;
The internal characteristics or conditions of the organization, such as its activities, products and services, strategic direction, culture, and capabilities;
Names and titles of interested parties who are affected by either the organizations decisions or its activities related to its environmental performance; and
The scope of any environmental management system the organization has implemented. If the organization has not implemented an environmental management system, define what you consider would be an appropriate scope for such a system.

Suppose scientists had proven that all of our thoughts and actions are completely determined by strictly physical causes – purely atoms in motion, and that the notion that humans have free will is totally illusory. Would life still be truly meaningful under these conditions? Would the meaning humans seem to give to their lives be totally illusory? Provide an explanation for your answers.
