Brain Based Early Learning Programs: Education, Society, and National P

The science of neurobiology and technology of brain-imaging are rapidly advancing the understanding of cognition: how people think and learn. Brain-imaging techniques allow access into the mysterious mechanisms of the brain, and it is now possible to observe what occurs in the brain â€Å"as it performs tasks such as solving a math problem, reading a book, or improvising a melody† (Limb). This neurobiological research also indicates that, in the brain, emotion and intelligence are intricately synchronized processes (â€Å"Social-Emotional†). Brain-based learning programs apply this principle of simultaneous cognitive and social-emotional development by emphasizing how the brain learns innately, and are based on what is currently known about the â€Å"physical structure and function† of the human brain at varying stages of development (Wilson). Scientists and educators agree that this educational model has proven to be most effective in the earliest, formative years of the brain, priming the brain both for learning and social relationships. There is significant and ample evidence documenting that early childhood education can generate substantial gains in children's learning and development. However, long-term advantages are predominantly recognized only in high-quality early childhood education programs (Swartout-Corbeil). Consequently, the availability of high-quality programs is limited, and high-quality programs are usually not affordable for most families (Swartout-Corbeil). Brain-based early learning programs represent the definitive in early childhood curriculum, and mandating for these cutting-edge programs on a national level has the potential to produce not only smarter and more creative learners, but also a society of compassi... ...a of Children's Health. â€Å"Early Childhood Education.† Web. 5 Apr. 2012.

Entity:| Vietcombank| | Period ended:| 31/12/2012| Significant class of transactions/significant disclosure process name:| Credit origination – Transaction processing| | Significant class of transactions/ significant disclosure process owner:| Credit Policty at HODebt management division Client Division | |We obtain an understanding of the significant classes of transactions (SCOTs) and significant disclosure processes to identify and understand the risks of material misstatement at the assertion level (i. e. , what can go wrongs (WCGWs)) and, when applicable, to identify and understand the controls over the WCGWs. This template assists with completing S03 Understand significant classes of transactions and significant disclosure processes. Significant accounts affected and key business and financial statement risks related to these accounts: * Loan Acc * Interest Acc * Provision Acc * Expense Acc * Receivable Acc| Relevant assertions: * Valuation * Completeness * Right and Obl igation * Presentation and Disclosure * Existence | Nature of the SCOT (routine, non-routine, estimation): * Routine| Starting point (initiation) and timing of initiation and recording of the SCOT or significant disclosure process: * Customer’s application| Specific circumstances affecting the form and extent of the documentation: * None| Name of the IT application that supports the SCOT * | Inputs/outputs of the critical path of significant class of transactions/significant disclosure process| Inputs/outputs of the supporting IT application| Inputs: * | Inputs: * | Outputs: * | Outputs: * |Critical path (initiating, recording, processing, reporting, correcting incorrect information) We obtain an understanding of the SCOTs and the significant disclosure processes by obtaining an understanding of their critical path. The critical path includes: * Initiation: the point where the transaction first enters the entity’s process and is prepared and submitted for recording * R ecording: the point where the transaction is first recorded in the books and records of the entity * Processing: any changes, manipulation or transfers of the data in the books and records of the entity * Reporting: the point where the transaction is reported (i. e. posted) in the general ledger. When we obtain an understanding of the critical path, we obtain an understanding of how incorrectly processed information is detected and corrected on a timely basis. We also obtain an understanding of how transactions are accumulated and posted from the sub ledger to the general ledger, including controls over associated journal entries. We obtain an understanding of the policies and procedures in place that management uses to determine that directives are carried out and applied, including: * Authorization * Segregation of incompatible duties * Safeguarding of assets * Information processing * Performance reviewsWe use our understanding of the critical path and the policies and procedures to identify WCGWs and, when applicable, relevant controls. In the course of acquiring an understanding of the processing procedures, we frequently learn of many of the controls in use. Thus, while the emphasis at this point is not to identify the presence or absence of controls, we are alert to the possible absence of controls, and to the points at which errors could occur and controls are needed. We consider the effect IT has on the SCOTs and the significant disclosure processes. The manner in which we document our understanding of the SCOT or significant disclosure process is left to professional judgment of the engagement executives.However, for critical paths related to routine transactions, a graphical depiction of the flow (e. g. , flowchart), supported with narrative notes (e. g. , use of this template) normally provides for easier identification of the types of errors that can occur.

Learning Disabilities and Career Development Essay

Learning Disabilities and Career Development The lifelong process of career development poses special challenges for people with learning disabilities (LD). Although the career development of individuals with disabilities is not widely discussed in the literature, key pieces of legislation enacted or reauthorized in the 1990s—Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Rehabilitation Act (now Title IV of the Workforce Investment Act)—have helped increase the numbers of individuals with LD in postsecondary education and the awareness of their needs in the workplace (Hitchings and Retish 2000). This Brief reviews research on the career development needs of persons with LD and†¦show more content†¦In some of the literature, on-the-job problems are framed in terms of individual deficits: persons with LD are said to encounter difficulties in establishing routines and processing information correctly (Ohler, Levinson, and Barker 1996); often exhibit low sel f-esteem and learned helplessness (ibid.); have impaired ability to assess strengths and weaknesses (ibid.); and lack career maturity and social awareness skills (Hitchings and Retish 2000). Others recast employment issues as a function of the significant societal barriers faced by those who do not fit the norm, for example, biased attitudes, low expectations, or overprotectedness toward persons with disabilities (Michaels 1997). Although IDEA mandates Individualized Education Programs and Individualized Transition Plans, the latter often focus on academics, not career counseling or living skills; lack coordination among secondary, postsecondary, and community agencies; and are often developed too late in the educational process (Cummings et al. 2000).

War and Peace in the Quran Free Essay Example, 3500 words

Jihad can be hardly understood by the Westerners. To tell the truth, even Muslims themselves have long been negotiating about the issues of war and peace and jihad, respectively. Regarding modern Islamic discourse of war and peace, historical events, a process of decolonization etc, Muslim intellectuals have started to express common points of view on jihad. Though certain debates are still echoed in the Islamic world, processes of globalization and international relations development have shifted from jihad, in comparison with the Medieval Age (Holmes 1989). Moreover, it is relevant nowadays not only to reconsider and reinterpret Islamic considerations about jihad but also try to find out something positive and alternative for the Western theory of war and peace. Two main sources of Islamic ethics are Qur'an and practice (Sunna) of the prophet Muhammad. Let s turn our attention to these two sources and to considerations of the grounds of war and the means of war in the Medieval Age . Moreover, it is interesting to find out common features between Islamic and Western traditions, i.e. between jihad and Just War. The main controversy about jihad occurs on the basis of the juristic historical definition of war and peace and not philosophical or ethical sources. We will write a custom essay sample on War and Peace in the Quran or any topic specifically for you Only $17.96 $11.86/page Thus essential political issues of that period remained uncovered and ethics was not applied to specific situations.

They also prophecies that Banquos descendants will be kings but he himself will not. The witches also make more predictions for banquo such as Lesser than Macbeth, and greater and Not so happy, yet much happier meaning he will be not so happy because he will have an early death, but he will be happier as he doesnt have to suffer wit the guilt of killing so many people.

Importance Of An Information Security Of Softsolutions †Samples

Question: Discuss about the Importance Of An Information Security Of Softsolutions. Answer: Introduction As a company grows, the need for establishing a formal information security plan becomes a must, especially when the business is expanding. The more the employees, threat of data theft becomes more probable. Earlier the Company could easily manage the security of their information simply because of the less number of employees, hence tracking their movements were easy. But as an entity expands, need for a formal and more structured approach for security of the information becomes a necessity (Garrett). I being appointed as the information security manager of the Company, would detail out a formal report wherein I would be highlighting about the methodology that would be undertaken for managing the security of the data of the Company. The report would be designed in a manner wherein first and foremost the need and the role a formal structure would play for the organization. Further the various weaknesses which it would address will be discussed and what would be the implications in ca se of any theft of information which this said formal structure would help to manage and mitigate to some extent. I would also detail about the reasons behind having a formal policy and the benefits a company would derive out of such a policy. Last but not the least, to convince the readers further about the viability of my job, I would like to state a glimpse of therisk management plan that I have in mind with regards, managing the employment of the 20 people post acquisition of TransAct. Role Of An Information Security Manager In The It Governance Of A Company As an information security manager, I totally respect the fact that till date SoftSolutions have been successfully been able to manage the security of their data via installing various adhoc and unstructured methods. However the same was feasible until and unless the number of employees were small as when the business is small then it is easy for the owners to keep a strict vigilance personally. But the same demands for a more formalised structure when the number of employees shoots up above twenty five (Ansanelli,2005). Security is the most important factor for all entities. Outside hackers are not always a matter of concern, but also protection of internal hardware from leaking the confidential data is of equal concern. If a single customers data also gets disclosed, then the company ends up compromising on its reputation as well as trust. The job being done by SoftSoutions entails a huge amount of customer database as its job creation of websites for them, setting up of small crucial database containing critical information, which when revealed to the competition can lead to a financial loss to the client. As the business expands, need to protect the same becomes more critical as the employees are shifting from desktop operations to laptops and tablets, hence have a continuous access of information anywhere anytime. If there can be a leakage of data in Target wherein the security system was too tight, then happening of the same in a small company is not a difficult task. Thus the main role of an information security manager is to maintain a balance between the risks that are already present as well as those that are anticipated for the future. A companys level of risks undergoes change every month and it is the duty of an information security manager to be able to gauge such a change well in advance, thus we as security managers are proactive in dealing with such leakages and security threats (Brothy, 2008). Apart from managing the basic security hacks and risks, an information security managers job is also in managing the IT governance of any company. With acquisitions, the company would have more people on the board and due to the same, IT governance plays an integral role. IT governance comprises of guidance, organizational structures and the procedures that help to secure the data. IT security governance have five essential results. Firstly, it enables coalition of the safety of data with the business so that the aims of the entity are met. Secondly, it helps to manage risk by implementing suitable methods to direct and lessen risks and decrease possible implications on the information resources to a state which is acceptable by all. Thirdly,management of resources by making use of the information security knowledge and the infrastructure effectively. Fourthly, IT governance helps to measure, check upon and report information security governance metrics so as to conform achievement o f the goals of an entity. Lastly, value delivery by optimising information security investments in support of organisational objectives. Threats That A Formal Secuity Plan Would Deal With As is discussed above, being an information security manager, one of the main function is to ensure that the various weaknesses and threats to the data security is dealt with on time and in a more structured manner. On studying the working of the company, one of the biggest threat that the formal structure would deal with is keeping a track of the various applications being downloaded by the employees on their device. Since they have the liberty to download to any such software or hardware or datamanagement processes, hence their IP address should be tracked whenever a suspicion is felt. Further, the employees should not be allowed to work on road or within other businesses as this would lead to theft of their programming solutions due to which the company may end up losing various clients as well. Apart from that, the employees also have an access to the customers data which can be misused by them and SoftSolutions would not be aware also. Further the Wi-fi being used at various loc ations is also not reliable enough as various hackers create such false networks via which they steal the personal information of the customers. If the same is not managed then the company would be at a reputational as well as financial loss. I would also suggest that since the employees are using their devices mobile, hence VPN should be adopted which helps to protect the information since it encrypts all the things that are being sent thereby ensuring better protection (Cobb, 2015). Thus by installing all these protection and ensuring that the Wi-fis are avoided to be used at unknown places can help to deal with the issue in a better manner. Further the company should lock some of the websites which the employees cannot access even if the internet connection is an outside one. There systems should be thoroughly checked often and the access of the entire system should be made available at a host system whose access should only be with Tim and Catherine (Kochetkova, 2015). By doing so the employees would also be aware that any theft, they would be caught easily. Methodology For The Devlopment Of An Informtaion Security Policy The main aim behind the said methodology is that it would act as the main source and will provide a universal direction for the development, execution and preservation of an efficient and developing information security policy. The methodology is divided into five phases. The first is that of the assessment of the security required with regards the information which includes analysing the areas of threats and how the same should be safeguarded. Second is the construction of a policy which mainly concentrates upon development of the contents of the policy, who are the target audiences at whom the policy aims, its scope, the rules and regulations laid down for the employees and how the security of data would be managed. Third is the implementation of the policy, prior to which a thorough analysis oft he policy is done again so that any ambiguity is cleared and the same is valid enough to be rolled out formally within the organization. Fourth, maintenance of the existing policy as the t echnology changes, the ways of stealing the data improves too, hence the policy needs to be reviewed on a timely basis so that adequate changes as per the needs of the company is made. Lastly is the support of the employees which is one of the crucial as well. One of the most striking factor for the success of any policy document is the support from the employees, else it would be difficult to maintain the security and safety of information within the organization (Ramdeyal Eloff, 2010). Reasons For Developing A Formal Information Security Policy First and foremost, in a Company wherein no formal policy exists, the employees tend to behave in a notorious manner. As soon as the entire policy of information security is written in black and white and a consent of the employees are undertaken to abide with the same, theft lessens considerably. In such a manner, SoftSolution would be able to charge the employees with adequate punishments in case of any hacks and thefts (Brdiczka, 2014). Thereby a formal information security policy is a must specifically for companies which are growing because it safeguards the entities via upbeat strategy stands, develops laid down rules and regulations with regards how a user is required or expected to behave which covers the IT personnel as well, spell out clearly what be the outcomes in case of any such violations, formulate and develop baseline stance on security and protection so as to lessen the risk for the company and lastly makes it clear to people both outside as well as inside the organ ization that information is one of the most crucial assets of the entity and thereby it is a must that the same should be protected else it would lead to legal consequences (Chapple et.al. 2002). One of the main benefits that SoftSolution would derive by implementing or having such a policy in place is that employees would be self-disciplined. Thus the Company would be able to secure more orders and customers as well since they would be aware that their company data is secured at its best (Lord, 2017). Risk Management Plan Post Acquisition Of Transact To make themanagement understand in a better manner the importance of my role in the company, I would like to detail out a formal risk management plan in short that is their within my mind with regards taking over the employees of TransAct. A risk management plan along with a cost-benefit analysis are an integral part of the continuity plans for any business. By foreseeing the probable risks and hence trying to mitigate them will ensure that the business is able to recover the same if any such mishap happens. In this scenario, the company is going to have people on board by compulsion i.e. due to the acquisition of TransAct and thereby have no way to interview them. Thereby simply basis the management being happy with them, they had to be taken up. Thus the information security policy which is there in place should be signed by all so that they are aware of the consequences of any unscrupulous acts. Secondly, formal training is also a must highlighting the integral parts of the policy documents. Further, if there has been a hack in the past then the same should be made aware to them so that they come to know about the punishments and its severity. This way the company will be able to ensure that the data is protected and at the same time also gain the benefit of the customers who are already working with TransAct and the employees who have rapport with them. Thus by ensuring that the risk management plan and policy is communicated and providing them timely training would ensure that the c ompany is benefitting more. They get a whole database of fresh customers and those employees as well who are well-versed with their requirements. In this manner they would be able to continue relationships with them and the trust factor would also be better. Last but not the least, these employees also know how to provide after sales services which is very crucial for the success of any company in todays competitive scenario. Further the present employees of SoftSolutions would also find it easy to communicate with the new clients via the employees of the new company thereby if any new employee misuses the information of the entity, even then the company would not loose out on the client. Thus the overall benefit of getting new business and support service trained employees is much more than the cost that would be incurred in implementing a risk management plan. Thus the said plan would work as a contingency plan as well that if any of the new employee tries to betray the company, then also they have the option of retaining the client by the services they provide and also employing another reliable employee. This way they would not loose a customer and also secure their data well (Lee, 2001). Conclusion Thereby, the said reading defines the importance of my job profile and further to this, it is not a one time affair, rather an ongoing one since the requirements of the safety of the information changes. Businesses are becoming so competitive and globalised, that the importance of safety of data specifically of clients is a priority which needs to be addressed continuously. The employees keep on changing, some may leave, new may join and the frauds conducted by any may give a lesson to the company to improvise upon the existing security policy and systems. With the system of improving periodically, so will the confidence and trust of the customers both new as well as prospective ones. The mind of the hackers and the insider fraudsters keeps on thinking upon newer ways to hurt the organization and thereby the need for the information security officer ensures that there is an ongoing improvisation upon the already placed security system. Therefore my position as an information security manager would benefit the organization both in safeguarding their data and reputation as well as gaining them financially as well.
