Written Report
In this assignment you will find a case related to Enterprise Architecture (EA), introduce the case, and discuss how the documentation framework in the case is different from the EA3 cube framework in the textbook (Topic 1).
Your report could follow the structure below:
Introduction – provide the background and purpose(s) of this report
Case Description – briefly introduce the case (Need to describe the case with a real use case of a company)
Architecture in the case – Discuss the EA framework in the case (e.g., different levels, EA components)
Comparison – Discuss how the EA framework in the case is different from the EA3 cube framework in the textbook (table can be used)
Conclusion – State the benefits of the EA framework implemented in the case; Discuss if the EA framework in the case is more appropriate in the context of the case than the EA3 cube framework (if so, why; if not, why not). It is possible that the EA framework in the case is quite similar to the EA3 cube framework. You could argue that it is just an adapted version of the EA3 cube framework. (Explain why the selected company in the case uses the particular EA instead of EA3 cube framework)
Some guidelines / hints:
1) You may not strictly follow the structure, but you need to cover all of the content required.
2) The report should focus on the documentation framework of the case. In other words, you do not need to mention its implementation methodology.
3) You are encouraged to find cases online. If you can find a good one, there are two cases posted LMS which you can use. One is the Chubb case from Topic 4; the other is the Cisco case from Topic 10.
4) The article “Essential Layers, Artifacts, and Dependencies of Enterprise Architecture” from Topic 05 can be helpful for you to learn how to compare different EA frameworks.
Refer to the attached document for the full question details and slides for the relevant reference.

1.Prepare 2500 words report (exclusive of annexes) on international supply chains and their ethical challenges in the following three industries: chocolate & cocoa, events and electronics.

2. You should first identify and evaluate the issues and challenges for each industry and then critically compare these with those faced by the other two industries. Using relevant criteria, the report should then make recommendations to all three industries for the ethical management of their supply chains and the avoidance of reputational damage.

How do the structures change when you set WATER-WATER-FORCE to 0?

/in /by

This is for Biomedical engineer.
Please download and run the following NetLogo model related to membrane formation:
https://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/models/MembraneFormation
This model simulates the formation of membranes in water.
It shows how simple attractive and repulsive forces between different kinds of molecules can result in higher level structure.
Please answer the following questions:
Try adjusting the attractive and repulsive forces between the different kinds of molecules. How much can you change the forces and still see higher level structures?
How does the concentration of lipids change what structures form? What happens when you have only lipids? Do structures still form?
How do the structures change when you set WATER-WATER-FORCE to 0? How is this reflected in the hydrophobic isolation plot? Try out various combinations of forces.
What is the neutral hydrophobic isolation? That is, what happens when both WATER-WATER-FORCE and WATER-OIL-FORCE are 0?
How does RANDOM-FORCE change the rate at which structures form? What happens when you set it really high? Can the structures hold together?

Describe one internal and one external method for the dissemination of your evidence-based change proposal.

Describe one internal and one external method for the dissemination of your evidence-based change proposal. For example, an internal method may be the hospital board, and an external method may be a professional nursing organization. Discuss why it is important to report your change proposal to both of these groups. How will your communication strategies change for each group?

Dissemination of EBP and research, such as presenting results at a conference or writing an article for a journal, is an important part of professional practice. Identify one professional journal and one nursing or health care conference where you might present your project. Discuss why each of your choices is the best option for you to disseminate your new knowledge.

Evaluate the importance of the accounting cycle by illustrating the products of that cycle and identifying the potential for problems if it is not properly followed.

/in /by

In this short paper, you will evaluate the importance of the accounting cycle by illustrating the products of that cycle and identifying the potential for
problems if it is not properly followed. There is only one short paper assignment in this course, and it has a unique purpose: You can think of this exercise as
establishing the conceptual framework for your remaining work in the problem sets and Final Project I. Essentially, in those activities, you will be engaging in the
specific tasks of the accounting cycle and applying detailed processes on a practical level. Therefore, it is important to grasp the larger picture in this short paper
so that you will be able to connect these smaller tasks and details and recognize their larger significance.

Discuss the fit of the proposed conditions to the proposed case for at least two posts by other students, and identify and discuss (if possible) any two or more cases that have similar conditions structure, so they can be solved with the same generalized algorithm.

/in /by

Come up with a practical case for data mining, that could employ clustering with a new set of conditions that would allow group records and won’t fit into the existing paradigm of simple similarity with the equal treatment of all variables.

For example, a dataset of anonymous commuting rides may be deanonymized with clustering analysis. Then the condition for clustering may be to find rides with a similar departure and arrival points, and that had to happen around the same time of a day, but no more than one ride in the same cluster may be conducted at the same day (one person can not ride two vehicles on the same route around the same time on the same day). Then the clusters of similar rides conducted on different days may suggest the same commuter.

In your responses, discuss the fit of the proposed conditions to the proposed case for at least two posts by other students, and identify and discuss (if possible) any two or more cases that have similar conditions structure, so they can be solved with the same generalized algorithm.

Identify whether the discrepancy in maintenance needs and the time it takes to resolve issues differs between neighborhoods and whether this difference (if observed) is indicative of inequity in city maintenance.

/in /by

Your company is a non-profit whose purpose is to advocate for equity in handling and providing long term solutions to city maintenance problems (trash collection, potholes, etc.) in Kansas City, MO.

The goal of this assignment is to identify the areas with a higher number and density of such requests, understand what types of requests are the most common for those areas, and analyze the degree of equity in the way the city addresses the issues in neighborhoods with respect to their socio-economic profiles. To address the latter, your goal is to identify whether the discrepancy in maintenance needs and the time it takes to resolve issues differs between neighborhoods and whether this difference (if observed) is indicative of inequity in city maintenance.

Directions
Use this public dataset on 311 calls: 311 Call Center Service Requests (Links to an external site.). Use appropriate tools (e.g. Python, SAS, Tableau, or a combination of those) to conduct the analysis using the dataset. Once you have identified any areas that have clusters of requests of a certain type, align those areas with the socio-economic profiles of those neighborhoods. To do so you can use any publicly available source (e.g. https://datausa.io/profile/geo/kansas-city-mo/) (Links to an external site.)

Your analysis may combine the use of data analytics tools with manual analysis.

In your report describe the steps you have taken and provide results of your analysis and conclusions on the state of equity in city maintenance.
