Describe each role in the context of an organization that utilizes an enterprise management system.

/in /by

Overview: In this assignment, you will look at the various roles and tasks associated within an enterprise management system. For any role in an organization, it is imperative to know the relationship between what you do and how your roles affect others, and vice versa. In your final project, you will have to analyze the roles of the given scenario and understand how they relate to data and information management.
The roles (people) are as follows:
Project manager
Database administrator
Data analyst/data modeler
Business analyst
Network analyst
Enterprise data architect
Enterprise data management leader
Enterprise data governance director
Master data management director
Data quality management director
Data warehousing and business intelligence director
Enterprise information management specialist
Data analyst
Directions
Your Assignment: Choose five roles from the list above. Feel free to use career search websites (such as www.monster.com) as needed to conduct research.
For each role, include the following main elements:
Describe each role in the context of an organization that utilizes an enterprise management system. b. Include the specific tasks and skills needed in that role in order to be successful in that organization.
To discuss the relationships between the roles, do the following:
Create a flow chart that you think best represents the interrelationships of the 5 selected roles within the organization. (You can use Microsoft Visio or Word if needed).
 b. Evaluate the relationships between the 5 roles selected. Discuss their relationships and compare and contrast their roles. This discussion should tie into the flow chart above.
Guidelines for Submission: Assignment must follow these formatting guidelines: double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and APA citations. Page length requirements: 2–3 pages.

What is the effect on the CF protein and why?

/in , /by

1. Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease, in which a gene has a mutation.
a. What is the effect on the CF protein and why? CF occurs because of mutations in the gene that makes a protein called CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator). A person with CF produces abnormal CFTR protein — or no CFTR protein at all, which causes the body to make thick, sticky mucus instead of the thin, watery kind
b. The CF protein is an ion transporter, important for facilitated diffusion of Cl- ions out of the cell. Where in/on the cell is this located? Can Cl- ions move out of the cell without this protein? Why/why not? (your answer should include something about polar molecules).
c. Based on the answer to (b) above, you would expect the osmotic gradient of these cells to change. What happens to osmosis and why?
d. This leads to very thick mucus in the patient’s lungs. Why?
2. One function of membrane proteins is to function as receptors for extra cellular signals. This function will be highly relevant to many topics in A&P I and II. For example, opioid receptors function in the brain. Referencing the analogy of the “lock and key”, explain the following:
a. What natural substances bind opioid receptors in a normal situation? What is the effect of this on the brain?
b. What happens when heroin binds these opiod receptors in the brain? How is this different than the “normal ligand” for these receptors?
c. What is the effect of Narcan on binding of heroin to opiod receptors? Explain how this makes it possible for Narcan to reverse a heroin overdose.
3. The cell cycle must be tightly regulated and must occur correctly. When problems occur in the cell cycle, abnormal growth can occur. Mutations in specific genes can cause problems in proteins important for cell cycle regulation. BRCA-1 was the first “breast cancer” gene found by researchers and is important for allowing “DNA repair” after replication.
a. In which phase of the cell cycle is BRCA-1 important? Explain your answer.
b. If one copy of the BRCA-1 gene is mutated, why would a patient have an increased risk of cancer?
c. Is BRCA-1 considered a tumor suppressor gene or a proto-oncogene? Explain your answer.
d. Patients with a BRCA-1 mutation may elect to have a double mastectomy and/or a hysterectomy even if there is no evidence of BRCA related cancer in their body. If you had a patient with a BRCA-1 mutation, would you counsel them to have a surgery such as this? Support your answer.
4. Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria occurs when the protein important for stabilizing the nuclear membrane is defective.
a. What do you think would happen to these cells? Why?
b. What problem does the patient have and why?
c. Is this disease passed down directly from parent to child? Support your answer.

Analyze the speech in terms of its persuasive effectiveness.

/in , /by

This paper is an analysis of the language and nonverbal characteristics of a famous persuasive presentation. The History Channel has a video collection of famous political speeches. Select one speech for analysis.
Analyze the speech in terms of its persuasive effectiveness. The paper is to include an analysis of the speech in terms of two language features (e.g., language intensity, powerful and powerless language styles, vividness, ultimate terms, see Gass & Seiter, 2018, chapter 7 for additional possibilities) and two nonverbal features (e.g., kinesics, paralinquistic cues, haptics, eye behavior, physical appearance, see Gass & Seiter, 2018, chapter 8 for additional possibilities).
In other words, this paper requires you to develop an argument for the persuasive effectiveness of the speech by referring to specific language and nonverbal features. The paper should include quotes from the speech (language) and descriptions of the speaker’s nonverbal behaviors.
Guidelines:
Your paper should be three to four-pages and written using APA formatting.
The paper will have a minimum of four paragraphs: introduction (describing the speech and its historical context); argument as to the effectiveness of language aspects of the speech; argument as to the effectiveness of the nonverbal aspects of the speech; and conclusion. Be sure to include a title page and reference page in correct APA formatting.
The Gass and Seiter (2018) text should be referenced in your paper, especially as you define the two language and two nonverbal behaviors that are the focus of your analysis. Two additional sources are required to provide the historical context of the speech.

Describes a single experience you have had with business communication.

/in /by

Our readings for this week include information describing the importance of storytelling as a business communication tool.

Using the techniques described in our readings, tell us a short story (200-300 words) that describes a single experience you have had with business communication. Maybe you hit “reply all” when you shouldn’t have. Maybe you really struggled with that ultimately successful presentation. Whatever it is, your story should have purpose (maybe you want to convince us to avoid the same mistake, or that perseverance pays off). Be sure to follow the guidelines for storytelling in Chapter 3.

When responding to your peers, choose the stories you think are the most interesting and compelling. Be sure to tell the writers why you think so.

  5. An evaluation of the organization/segment to determine if it is achieving each of the CSFs. Analyze each CSF and use data from the measures indicated in the Balanced Scorecard as support for the conclusions. (2–3 pages)

Additional guidelines:

  1. The project must be at least 5 pages, excluding the 2 charts.
  2. The project must be written in current APA format.
