Requirments:

3 pages (750 words)

At the beginning of the 20th century the purpose of modern art was no longer imitation but creation. Vanguard painters sought an art free from the constraints of mimesis (imitation of nature). The focus of art shifted from subject matter to formal properties of line, color, shape and composition.

Compare and contrast two paintings, one traditional and one modern. Though the subject matter is the same, each painting reflects a unique style. Choose three formal elements to compare and contrast in the two paintings. Pick the formal elements that you think best support your thesis statement. Go beyond stylistic differences to discuss differences in purpose, aim or message as well. Please use Point-by-Point organization for your essay.  Do not do additional research for this essay.

(TCO C) An escalator in a very popular and busy shopping center,

/in /by

(TCO C) An escalator in a very popular and busy shopping
center, had a Red Emergency Stop Button on the inside of the elevator
wall about 3 feet above the floor. There was no protective cap over the
stop bottom. With a crowd of customers on the escalator, a 4 year-old
little boy hit the Red Emergency Stop Button, and the escalator stopped
immediately. A total of fifteen customers fell with the sudden stop,
and seven suffered serious injuries. The injured parties filed law
suits against the shopping center, and the shopping center enjoined the
manufacturer of the escalator. Assume the role of the judge in this
case. Do you think the injured parties can recover for their injuries?
Which of the defendants do you think will be held liable for said
injuries, and what will be the basis for the recoverable injuries? What
is the basic legal question of liability in this case?

Brain Damage and localization

/in /by

What is the point of brain damage most critical for function in a group patient known as?

a. lesion-symptom mapping

b. neurophysiology

c. convergence (describes the approach of combining results from multiple experimental paradigms to illuminate a single theoretical concept)

d. complementarity (The combination of data across multiple methods for measuring brain function, often to improve inferences about the nature of the generative neural processes)

possible source notes: This variability can be addressed to some degree by combining information about the locus of damage across a group of patients, allowing researchers to delineate the affected region that is common to the loss of a particular function (Figure 2.2). The region of overlap among a group of patients more accurately defines the part of the brain relevant to the cognitive function at issue. Notably, only with the advent of modern brain imaging techniques did this approach of col- lating information concerning the overlapping of brain lesions into a common space become very practical or accurate.

Respond to the below two students discussions with 150 words minimum. The questions they are answering are in the bold below.

1. What are the skills related to IT Auditing? List and describe 3 areas
2. What are examples of Auditor’s Standards of Practice? Which organizations have issued standards or guidance to the auditor?
3. Why are the “Equity Funding” and “Enron” events so important to computer auditing?
4. What are the differences in “auditing through the computer” versus the more traditional book and records audit?


Student one:

1. What are the skills related to IT Auditing? List and describe 3 areas

There are many skills that relate to IT Auditing. Three skills that are used are:

Communication Skills: IT Auditors need to clear when articulating ideas about their point of view on issues. By doing so, this means IT Auditors are able to communicate well with one another and are able to negotiate with clients.

Critical Thinking Skills: IT Auditors need to analyze and evaluate information and facts contained in an audit. By doing so, they are able to connect the dots and bring forth his or her owns personal experience to help a client.

Governing Laws: IT Auditors should be aware of all cybersecurity laws, so while doing an audit they may report to the company of what their findings are and know how to take appropriate measures to fix it.

2. What are examples of Auditor’s Standards of Practice? Which organizations have issued standards or guidance to the auditor?

The audit of an IT organization has the basic requirements in which professional practice of internal auditing is held to and to evaluate the effectiveness of its performance. Some examples of organizations that have issued standards or guidance to the auditor are:

ISACA Standard: This company has developed the certification in which auditors usually follow which are the basic standards and procedures used.

CoBit: This is used as a guideline for Information Technology to control and simplify them into a less complex framework.

AICPA: This is used to create the guidelines for private companies to create a professional code of ethics and professional standards.

3. Why are the “Equity Funding” and “Enron” events so important to computer auditing?

The Equity Funding and Enron events are so important to computer auditing because both events helped to change auditing entirely. The Enron scandal was misleading to people within the company and outside investors.

4. What are the differences in “auditing through the computer” versus the more traditional book and records audit?

The differences in “auditing through the computer” versus the more traditional book and records audit is that with auditing through the computer, it is much easier for individuals to evaluate data and is harder to lie and forge information.

Student two:

Good afternoon classmates, I pray everyone is have a great start to week 3.

1. What are the skills related to IT Auditing? List and describe 3 areas

There are many skills when it relates to IT auditing. Here are a few strong communication skills, emotional intelligence, critical thinking and business acumen, professional skepticism, and interpersonal skills. However, critical thinking, strong communication skills, and emotional intelligence are three of the top ones truly need. Emotional intelligence is a well-needed skill especially for the clients because clients want can keep some composure and make sure to hit the bull’s eye with accuracy and procession remaining in sight. This is a skill that will improve the auditor’s qualities. Strong communication skills are one of the top skills needed by auditors. This is a core attribute that all clients value the most because it is the ability to articulate clear points of view on many issues. Critical thinking is having the ability to ask the right questions along with having the business acumen which will have the ability for connecting the dots and bring these experience to help other clients.

2. What are examples of Auditor’s Standards of Practice? Which organizations have issued standards or guidance to the auditor?

Control Objectives for Information and related Technology (COBIT) is designed to assist with the execution of operative IT governance throughout the enterprise. COBIT is also the control framework that contributes to the needs of making the link to business requirements, providing sets of business processes for IT managers, identifying major IT resources that may be used for leverage, and defining management control objectives that are considered for every process. (n.a., n.d.)

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) helps organize information related to the countermeasures and security controls throughout the IT infrastructures. (Weiss, 2015)

The auditor’s Standards of Practices is a standard that is issued by the American Institute of CPA (AICPA). (n.a., 2017)

3. Why are the “Equity Funding” and “Enron” events so important to computer auditing?

The reason why the “Equity Funding and “Enron” events are so important to computer auditing is because of the large-scale fraudulent scandals within the companies.

4. What are the differences in “auditing through the computer” versus the more traditional book and records audit?

There are a few differences in “auditing through the computer” versus the more traditional book and records audits. However, there is one main difference and that is computer audits are a lot quicker because it is easier for auditors to apply filters to computer logs in order to find all the information they need and deciphering data that is received. Log books can be harder to decipher and easily manipulated or falsified because it is written down information whereas the computers information can make it harder because it is not written down it is logged into the computers database.

Answer Discussion Question and Respond to Two Classmate Posts for Psych Assessment Course

/in /by

INITIAL DISCUSSION: (AT LEAST 350 WORDS WITH REFERENCE)

Do you believe this statement is true: Assessment instruments can be more culturally fair than culturally free? Why or why not? Please cut and paste your responses and provide feedback to two of your classmates.

RESPOND TO EACH CLASSMATE POST WITH AT LEAST 100 WORDS….

CLASSMATE POST 1:

Power,2013 believed that evaluators should use evaluation assessment instrument that is more culturally fair rather than culturally free since assessment outcome are influenced by a consumer’s cultures. This is because ethnic minority consumers with disabilities may not identify themselves with inventories that are considered normed by the host or dominant group. It is reported that ethnic minority consumers score differently on intelligence, aptitude, personality, and interest in assessment evaluation than of the dominant culture. To allow culture-fairness amongst minority consumers certain methods and measures must be implemented in the assessment evaluation process. These methods and measures are examined in this discussion.

Regarding intelligence, Power reported that most Black American score lower than White American on the Standardized test. Test developers are now becoming aware of the certain cultural bias that exists on the Standardized test. For instance, assessment instruments that are graded on a timed based African Americans score are lower because of contributing factors of how they perceived time by significant events rather than a clock or calendar. The most feasible attempt for culture-fairness is to implement “experimental intelligence” assessment, such as NNAT-2 and CTONI-2. For Aptitude and Achievement assessment our text suggested work samples and situational assessment method since time constraints are a major factor (Power,2013)

In reference to personality and interest, Power stated that when evaluators are selecting personality measure, they should be sensitive to current influences of language and acculturation on the consumer test-taking behaviors etc. For instance, the MMPI-2 test instrument was developed specifically for Black and Native Americans (Power,2013).

In conclusion, I agree with Power’s beliefs of no assessment instrument is culture free. In my opinion, the test will always reflect the culture on who developed it and it is geared towards the population of that culture. However, as Power noted test developers can take into considerations minorities values, practices and beliefs to lessen cultural bias. There will be no completely elimination of culture from the assessment instruments. Evaluators can administer assessment instruments that are considered culturally fair by implementing various guidelines and techniques when collecting information from consumers.

Power, P. W. (2013. A Guide to Vocational Assessment. (5th ed.) Austin, TX: Pro-ED

CLASSMATE POST 2:

I agree with Power (2013) when he states that “no evaluation instrument is culture free” (p. 95). Power does say, however, that evaluators should focus on making sure that the assessments are culturally fair (Power, 2013). Several examples are given in the textbook about various elements that could possibly affect assessment outcomes for various cultures. One example given is for ethnic minorities. According to Power (2013), ethnic minorities may see the vocational assessment as being threatening, which could in turn cause anxiety and stress, therefore, assessments should be made available that help the client to feel less anxious and more relaxed. In order to ensure that an evaluation is culturally fair, the evaluator should always become familiar with the standardization and norming procedures for each potential instrument (Power, 2013).

Again, I do feel that culture fair is possible but I do not feel that culture free will ever be attainable. There has to be some level of culture in each testing instrument that is used. It would be difficult to measure the level that a person is at without being able to compare their outcomes to the outcomes of others in society, which is a part of culture. However, evaluators must understand that not every instrument is appropriate for every person. You couldn’t very well administer a test based on Asian beliefs and culture to a Hispanic client and vice versa. This is why it is crucial for evaluators to understand the types of testing instruments that are available to them and to understand how to properly choose the testing instrument for each of their clients.
