Correspondence Studies Reflection â€Å"It Shouldn’t Hurt To Be A Child† The scene happens in a doctor’s office. David and Sarah Thompson have gotten their 10-year-old child Michael due to a lower leg sprain. As the specialist goes into the room, Michael is perched on the assessment table in shorts and a T-shirt with an uncovered right foot and lower leg. Mr. what's more, Mrs. Thompson are sitting in seats near him. Specialist: So, you are Michael. I am Dr. Gupta. Ideal to meet you Michael. [shakes Michael’s hand] How are you doing today? Michael: Okay. Specialist: [turning to Mr. what's more, Mrs. Thompson] And are you Michael’s guardians, Mr. furthermore, Mrs.Thompson? Ideal to meet you. [extends hand to shake] Mrs. Thompson: Nice to meet you too. [shakes hands with doctor] Mr. Thompson: Charmed I’m sure [shakes hands with doctor] Doctor: Ok.. [turning back to Michael] So what gets you today, Michael? Michael: I hurt my lower leg. Specialis t: How did this occur? Michael: I was skateboarding and, I don’t know [pauses and glances over to his parents] I surmise I just slipped or something? Specialist: When did this hap†¦.? [Mrs. Thompson intrudes] Mrs. Thompson: He did it around three days prior yet the previous evening I saw he was all the while limping and I figured I should bring him in.I don’t think it’s broken, isn't that right? Specialist: Well, let me investigate first. [begins to inspect ankle] I’m simply going to investigate your foot. Is that sore? Michael: Ouch! Indeed it harms! Mr. Thompson: Stop being ah fool a leh de docta check yuh foot fuh meh please! Mrs. Thompson: [at Mr. Thompson] Oh gosh.. yuh doh hadda converse with him so.. [Mr. Thompson eyebrows scowl together] Mr. Thompson: I ask yuh anything! [Mrs. Thompson remains quiet] Doctor: That’s OK. Let me simply do one more thing. I’m going to raise your foot.

Profile of Serial Killer Derrick Todd Lee

Profile of Serial Killer Derrick Todd Lee Derrick Todd Lee, otherwise called the Baton Rouge Serial Killer, lurked networks of south Louisiana for quite a long time before his catch and possible conviction in two of in any event seven instances of assault and murder of ladies in 2002 and 2003. Youth Years Derrick Todd Lee was conceived on November 5, 1968, in St. Francisville, Louisiana to Samuel Ruth and Florence Lee. Samuel Ruth left Florence not long after Derrick was conceived. For Florence and the youngsters, having Ruth good and gone was acceptable. He experienced dysfunctional behavior and in the long run wound up in a psychological organization in the wake of being accused of endeavored murder of his ex. Florence later wedded Coleman Barrow who was a capable man that raised Derrick and his sisters as though they were his own kids. Together they showed their youngsters the significance of instruction and to follow the lessons of the Bible. Lee grew up like numerous kids in modest communities around south Louisiana. His neighbors and play buddies were generally from his more distant family. His enthusiasm for school was restricted to playing in the school band. Lee battled scholastically, frequently being surpassed by his more youthful sister who was a year more youthful than himâ but progressed in school quicker. His IQ, going from underneath 70 to 75, made it trying for him to keep up his evaluations. When Lee transformed 11 he had been found peeping into the windows of young ladies in his neighborhood, something he kept on doing as a grown-up. He likewise had a preference for tormenting canines and felines. High school Years At 13 years old, Lee was captured for basic robbery. He was at that point known to the nearby police on account of his voyeurism, however it wasnt until he was 16 that his displeasure issues got him in a difficult situation. He threatened to use a blade on a kid during a battle. Accused of endeavored second-degree murder, Lees rap sheet was easing back starting to top off. At age 17 Lee was captured for being a Peeping Tom, yet despite the fact that he was a secondary school drop out with various objections and captures, he figured out how to avoid setting off to an adolescent confinement home. Marriage In 1988 Lee met and wedded Jacqueline Denise Sims and the couple had two youngsters, a kid named after his dad Derrick Todd Lee, Jr. also, in 1992 a young lady, Dorris Lee. Not long after their marriage, Lee confessed to unapproved passage of an occupied dwelling. Throughout the following not many years, he floated all through two universes. In one world, he was the capable dad who took a stab at his development work and took his family on end of the week trips. In the other world, he traveled the neighborhood bars, wearing smart clothing and invested energy drinking and having extramarital illicit relationships with ladies. Jacqueline thought about his disloyalty, yet she was committed to Lee. She likewise got used to his being captured. The occasions he spent in jail turned out to be nearly as an invited alleviation contrasted with the unstable air he made when he was at home. Cash Creates More Problems In 1996 Jacquelines father was slaughtered in a plant blast and she was granted a fourth of a million dollars. With the monetary lift, Lee was presently ready to dress better, purchase vehicles, and spend more cash on his sweetheart Casandra Green. Be that as it may, the cash was spent as fast as it came in, and by 1999 Lee had returned to living off of his earned wages-with the exception of now he had another mouth to take care of. Casandra had brought forth their child who they named Dedrick Lee in July of that year. Collette Walker In June 1999, Collette Walker, 36, of St. Francisville, La., recorded following charges against Lee after he ripped his way into her loft, attempting to persuade her that the two should date. She didn't have any acquaintance with him and figured out how to back him out of her loft. He left her with his telephone number and recommended that she call him. Days after the fact a companion who lived near Collette got some information about Lee who she had seen hiding around her loft. On another event, Collette found him peeping into her window and called theâ police. Indeed, even with his history of being a Peeping Tom and different captures, Lee did almost no time for the charges of following and unlawful section. In a request deal, Lee conceded and got probation. Against the headings of the court he again went searching for Collette, yet sagaciously she had moved. A Lost Opportunity Life was getting unpleasant for Lee. The cash was proceeded to fund were tight. He was contending with Casandra a great deal, and in February 2000 the battling heightened to brutality. She began the procedures to get a defensive request disallowing Lee from getting close to her. After three days he found her in a bar parking garage and savagely ambushed her. Casandra squeezed charges, and his probation was disavowed. He spent the next year in jail until his discharge in February 2001. He was set under house capture and was required to wear observing hardware. In May he was seen as liable of disregarding the details of his parole by expelling the hardware. Rather than having his probation disavowed, he was given a legitimate slap on the hand and not came back to jail. Indeed the chance to expel Derrick Todd Lee from society was lost, a choice that probable frequents the individuals who made it. Third Side of Derrick Todd Lee At the point when Derrick Todd Lee submitted his first or last assault and murder of a clueless lady is obscure. What is known is that in 1993 he purportedly assaulted two adolescents who were necking in a left vehicle. Outfitted with a six-foot gathering device, he was blamed for hacking endlessly at the couple, just halting and escaping as another vehicle drew nearer. The couple endure and after six years, the young lady, Michelle Chapman, chose Lee from a lineup as her assailant. Remains assaulting and slaughtering binge would last an additional 10 years, with DNA proof in the end connecting him to seven casualties who experienced his awful assaults. Survivors of Derrick Todd Lee April 2, 1993 - A teenaged couple were stopped in a disengaged region when they were assaulted by a huge man who hacked at them with a six-foot gathering apparatus. Both endure and the young lady, Michelle Chapman, recognized Derrick Todd Lee as the assailant in a police line-up in 1998. Different casualties include: April 18, 1998 - Randi Merrier 28September 24, 2001 - Gina Wilson Green, 41January 14, 2002 - Geralyn DeSoto, 21May 31, 2002 - Charlotte Murray Pace, 21July 9, 2002 - Diane AlexanderJuly 12, 2002 - Pamela Kinamore, 44November 21, 2002 - Dene Colomb, 23March 3, 2003 - Carrie Lynn Yoder Visit the survivors of Derrick Todd Lee page for more data about how the casualties lived and how they passed on. Potential Victims August 23, 1992 - Connie Warner of Zachary, LA. was beat to death with a sledge. Her body was found on Sept. 2, close to the Capital Lakes in Baton Rouge, La. So far no proof has connected Lee to her homicide. June 13, 1997 - Eugenie Boisfontaine lived on Stanford Ave., close to the Louisiana State University grounds when she was killed. Her body was found nine months after the fact under a tire along the edge of Bayou Manchac. There has been no proof connecting Lee to the homicide. Such a large number of Murders and Serial Killers Examinations concerning the few unsolved homicide instances of ladies in Baton Rouge was going no place. There are numerous reasons why Derrick Todd Lee, who is to some degree slow-witted, figured out how to abstain from getting captured. Here are only a couple: Derrick Todd Lee remained moving. In the 10 years it is realized that he submitted assault and murder, he was additionally continually evolving occupations, moving to various urban communities in south Louisiana and doing time all through jail. It was not until he concentrated on regions around LSU and left the groups of two of his casualties at a vessel dispatch at Whiskey Bay that specialists moved from comprehending murders to searching for a sequential killer.Communications among criminologists starting with one city then onto the next were uncommon and Lee bounced starting with one ward then onto the next to strike and kill.From 1991 to 2001 there were 53 unsolved homicides of ladies in Baton Rouge. The ladies originated from every single distinctive foundation and ethnicities, as did the way that they passed on. The city was on high caution and the legislature was on the hot seat.In August 2002 the Baton Rouge territory Multi-Agency Task Force was shaped and correspondences bet ween area criminologists widened. Be that as it may, rather than getting an executioner, the team wound up having more homicides to unravel. For the following two years, 18 additional ladies were discovered dead and the main leads police had headed them off course. What agents didn't know at that point, or didn't tell people in general is that there were two, possibly three sequential executioners liable for a considerable lot of the homicides. Racial Profiling At the point when it came to finding and catching Derrick Todd Lee, sequential executioner profiling didn't work. He was dark and most sequential executioners are white males.Most sequential executioners pick survivors of their own race. Lee executed both high contrast women.Most sequential executioners utilize the technique for slaughtering like a mark so they get kudos for the murder. Lee utilized various techniques. Lee did one thing that fit the profile of a sequential executioner he kept knickknacks from his casualties. In 2002 a composite sketch of the presumed sequential executioner was discharged to the general population. The image was of a white male with a long nose, disappointed look, and long hair. When the image was discharged the team got immersed with calls and the examination got stalled on following up on tips. It was not until May 23, 2003, the Baton Rouge region Multi-Agency Task Force discharged a sketch of a man needed for addressing about assaults on a lady in St. Martin Parish. He was depicted as a neat and tidy, fair looking dark male with short earthy colored hair and earthy colored e

Protein Synthesis in DNA Processes

Protein Synthesis in DNA Processes Protein amalgamation is the procedure whereby DNA encodes for the creation of amino acids and proteins. It is an intricate and exact procedure and as proteins make up over portion of the dry mass of a cell, it is an indispensable procedure to the support, development and advancement of the cell. Proteins are broadly utilized in the cell for an assortment of reasons and have a wide range of jobs, for instance a few proteins offer auxiliary help for cells while others go about as chemicals which control cell digestion. The arrangement of proteins happens inside the cytoplasm, the bit of the cell found simply outside the core. Proteins are framed through buildup responses which bond amino acids together with peptide bonds in a specific arrangement and the sort of protein that is made is characterized by the one of a kind succession of the amino acids. DNA and RNA are nucleic acids that are framed in the nucleotides and are both engaged with the procedure of protein union. Deoxyribonucleic corrosive, all the more regularly known as DNA, is situated inside the core of the cell and contains the whole hereditary code for a living being inside its structure. DNA has two significant capacities which are: to pass on data starting with one age of cells then onto the next by the procedure of DNA replication and to give the data to the amalgamation of proteins fundamental for cell work. Fundamentally, DNA controls protein blend. The mind boggling and exact procedure of protein amalgamation starts inside a quality, which is a particular bit of a cells DNA. DNA is a nucleic corrosive which is comprised of rehashing monomers, called nucleotides, and on account of DNA, these individual monomers comprise of a pentose sugar, a phosphoric corrosive and four bases known as adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. DNA is a twofold abandoned polymer, which has a turned stepping stool like structure, known as a twofold helix. The twofold helix of DNA is shaped when two polynucleotide chains combine by means of base-matching between nucleotide units inside the individual chains. The base sets are combined themselves by hydrogen bonds and the pairings participate in an unmistakable manner, for instance guanine will in every case just get together with cytosine and adenine with in every case just get together with thymine. The succession of these base combines along the DNA particle conveys all the hereditary data of the c ell. In spite of the fact that the DNA doesn't deliver the new proteins itself, it is answerable for controlling the procedure of protein combination. This is essentially in light of the fact that DNA is very enormous a structure to go through the core into the cytoplasm, so all things being equal it makes an impression on the protein making machine in the cytoplasm to begin the procedure. It does this by sending this data by means of a compound like DNA called ribonucleic corrosive (RNA). RNA is single abandoned polymer of nucleotides which is framed on the DNA. There are three kinds of RNA found in cells, which are all engaged with procedure of protein combination. They are Messenger RNA (mRNA), Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and Transfer RNA (tRNA). Courier RNA (mRNA) is a long, single abandoned atom which is framed into a helix on a solitary strand of DNA. It is fabricated in the core and is a mirror duplicate of the piece of the DNA strand on which it is framed. The errand person RNA goes through the core and enters the cytoplasm where is associates with the ribosomes and goes about as a layout for protein blend. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a huge, complex particle which is comprised of both single and twofold helices. rRNA is framed by the qualities which are arranged on the DNA and is found in the cytoplasm which, when fortified with proteins, makes up the ribosomes. The contrast among DNA and RNA is that DNA is a twofold helix comprising of two strands though RNA is essentially a solitary strand, RNA additionally utilizes uracil rather than thymine and DNA comprises of a deoxyribose sugar, while RNA comprises of a ribose sugar. Move RNA (tRNA) is an extremely little, single abandoned particle that is fabricated by the DNA in the core and is basically answerable for the exchange of amino acids. These amino acids are found in the cytoplasm, at the ribosomes and works as a middle person particle between the triplet code of mRNA and the amino corrosive arrangement of the polypeptide chain. It frames a clover-leaf shape, with one finish of the chain finishing in a cytosine-cytosine-adenine succession (Toole, 1997). There are in any event twenty unique kinds of tRNA, each shipping an alternate amino corrosive and at an essential issue along the chain there is a critical grouping of three bases, called the anticodon. These are orchestrated along the proper codon on the mRNA during protein blend. All proteins are encoded for in DNA, and the unit of DNA which codes for a protein is its quality. Since amino acids are consistently found inside the proteins, it would then be able to be expected that the amino acids must have their own code of bases on the DNA. This connection between the bases and the amino acids is known as the hereditary code. There are only twenty amino acids that normally happen in proteins and each must be coded for in the bases of the DNA. With the DNA just having four unique bases present, in the event that each were to code for an alternate amino corrosive, at that point just four distinctive amino acids could be coded for. With there being twenty amino acids that happen routinely in proteins, just a code made out of three bases could fulfill the prerequisites for every one of the twenty amino acids; this is known as the triplet code and this triplet code is all the more normally known as a codon. Out of the 64 codons can be framed, three of these assign the end of a message and these are called stop codons (UAA, UGA, UAG) and one codon (AUG) goes about as the beginning sign for protein amalgamation. The codon is an all inclusive code, for example it is a similar triplet code for a similar amino acids in every living being. As there is more than one triplet code for most amino acids, it is known as a ruffian code and every triplet must be perused independently and must not over-lap. For instance, CUGAGCUAG is perused as CUG-AGC-UAG. (Toole, 1997) Protein union is the procedure that is worried about exchange of the data from the triplet code on the DNA to guarantee the development of the proteins. There are four phases in the development of the proteins, these are: union of amino acids; interpretation; amino corrosive enactment and interpretation. The primary stage, the combination of amino acids, is worried about the development of amino acids. The human body can orchestrate amino acids, anyway it can't frame the necessary sum thusly the staying amino acids are provided from the food that is ingested. The subsequent stage, interpretation, is where a particular area of the DNA particle that codes for a polypeptide is replicated to frame a strand of mRNA. Since the DNA is awfully large a structure to go through the layer of the core itself, the procedure of interpretation happens inside the core. Initially, a segment of the DNA isolates because of hydrogen bonds between the bases being broken, making the DNA loosen up into single strands. One strand works as a format and the chemical called RNA polymerase moves along the strand appending RNA nucleotides each in turn to the recently uncovered strand on DNA. This mRNA arrangement is known as the sense strand and the correlative DNA grouping which fills in as the transcriptional format is known as the antisense strand. Utilizing complimentary base blending of nucleotides, the mRNA is an accurate imitation of the unused strand called the duplicate strand. The procedure of translation proceeds until the polymerase arrives at the stop cod on and the full grown mRNA moves out of the atomic layer, through the atomic pores, to the ribosomes. The third stage, amino corrosive actuation, is the procedure by which the amino corrosive consolidates with tRNA utilizing vitality from ATP. There are twenty distinct kinds of tRNA which bond with a particular amino corrosive and the amino corrosive is joined to the free finish of the tRNA. The recently shaped tRNA-amino corrosive starts to push toward the ribosomes in the cytoplasm. The fourth and last phase of protein combination happens in the cytoplasm at the ribosomes, and is called interpretation. Interpretation is the methods by which a particular grouping of amino acids is shaped as per the codons on the mRNA. Every mRNA particle gets joined to at least one ribosomes to frame a structure called a polysome. At the point when interpretation happens, the complimentary anticodon of a tRNA-amino corrosive complex is pulled in to the main codon on the mRNA and ties to the mRNA with hydrogen bonds between the complimentary base pairings. A subsequent tRNA ties to the second codon of mRNA similarly. The ribosome goes about as a system which holds the mRNA and tRNA amino corrosive complex together until the two amino acids are combined by the development of a peptide bond. As the ribosome moves along the mRNA every codon is perceived by a coordinating reciprocal tRNA which contributes its amino corrosive as far as possible of another developing protein chain. This procedure proceeds until the ribosome arrives at a stop codon, which at that point shows that the polypeptide chain is done and the polypeptide chain is then pushed off. The shaped polypeptides are then gathered into proteins and by this activity, protein union is finished. All in all, the DNA particles contain a hereditary code that figures out which proteins are made in the body and these proteins incorporate certain catalysts which control each natural response going on inside the body. In straightforward terms, this is fundamentally how life works.

Geographies Critical Geopolitics, Logics of Dislocation - 550 Words

Toward Poststructuralist Geographies: Chapter 22 - Critical Geopolitics, Chapter 23 - Logics of Dislocation (Essay Sample) Content: Name:Institution affiliation:Course:Date:Instructor:Toward Poststructuralist GeographiesAccording to Cresswell (2013), since 1980s and 1990s, human geography has seen a propagation of perspectives of theory. The modern human geography has ignored the past arguments. Postmodernism involves the thinking that denies metanarratives, essence and foundations that shut down a research on huge theoretical changes. It appears that the contemporary society is composed of people interested in self-made theories and abjections to those propounded by others. Some geographers are putting into consideration the choices made by human beings over small matters. However, others like Marxists disregard the issue as being unimportant. These questions belong to structure as well as agency.Structuralisms basically entail a body of thought and works in culture and language. Disciplines can depict various forms of structuralism. During the 1980s, the struggle between agency and structure st arted being worked upon by geographers. Time geographies are concerned with routes in space and time of individuals as well as groups. From birth to death, an individual has spatial and temporal attributes which are premises of time geography. Contextual explanations can be provided by geographers through time geography. Necessary ideas are usually intertwined by critical realism. Structuration theory integrates agency and structure in human geography. However, it cannot account for daily happenings.Key Texts, Chapter 22 "Critical Geopoliticsà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ In Critical Geopolitics gives an exhaustive challenge to the conventional geopolitics, formulated as theories and acts of statecraft. First and foremost, critical Geopolitics first examines geopoliticsà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ tradition via the work of its main proponents at the onset of 20th century. The book ends by presenting a discussion about changing geopolitics nature, particularly technological influence and media, contending for criti cal analysis need.The approach of Critical geopolitics seeks to assess how international politics exist being abstract spatially or physically, and by doing this in in order to reveal the politics concerned in writing global space geography. Great power exists to those whose explanations and maps of world politics are actually accepted as correct and precise due to the influence they have on understanding the world. Consequently, the very understandings have thoughtful effects on succeeding political practices. Critical geopolitics has included studies of the language of statecraft language have been included in critical geopolitics and foreign policies. This is in order to show the spatial imagination of international politics and to expose the politics included in the process. Critical Geopolitics opened a space for discussions in political geography to address the function of an account and discourse.Key Texts, Chapter 23 "Logics of Dislocationà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ The dislocation begin s by a thoughtful statement, that is, no central idea that can guide the economic geography sub-discipline or any knowledge production project. The variety of writings and disciplines linked by Logics is also tiring. Apart from geography writings, Barnes engages significantly with other subjects. In chapter one, Barnes spells out important concepts underpinning the book. He explains how Enlightenment as well as post-Enlightenment thoughts are different. Enlighten thinking four concepts namely; the conviction that development can be achieved via science and rationality applications, the conviction that people are autonomous, self-consciousness and decision making, the conviction that order existed in natural as...

Mineral Photos - How to Take Great Photos of Minerals

Do you want to take great pictures of your mineral specimens? Here are some tips and tricks to help your mineral photos turn out looking wonderful. Mineral Photography Tips Know your camera.You can take wonderful pictures of mineral specimens using a disposable camera or cell phone; you can take terrible photos using a high-end SLR. If you know what works in terms of distance and lighting for the camera you are using then youll have a much better chance of taking a great shot.Be accurate.If you are taking a photo of a mineral out in the field, then take the picture of the mineral where you found it rather than moving it to a pretty location.Take multiple pictures.If youre in the field, approach your specimen from different angles and take a variety of shots. Do the same back home. Taking ten shots of the exact same angle, background, and lighting is less likely to give you a great photo than taking several different photos.Make the mineral the center of attention.If possible, make it the only object in the photo. Other objects will detract from your specimen and may cast nasty shadows on your mineral.Choose your background wisely.I take the majority of my pictures on a white plastic cutting board because it doesnt cast reflections back toward the camera and because I can apply light behind the mineral. White is great for specimens with good contrast, but it doesnt work as well for light-colored minerals. Those minerals may do better with a gray background. Be careful using a very dark background because some cameras will take a picture that washes the detail out of your specimen. Experiment with different background to see what works best.Experiment with lighting.You are going to get different pictures in sunlight than you will under fluorescent or incandescent lights. The angle of the light makes a big difference. The intensity of the light matters. Look criticially at your photo to see if it has distracting shadows or whether it flattens out any three-dimensional structure of your mineral specimen. Also, keep in mind some minerals are fluorescent. What happens in you add black light to your specimen?Process your image, with care .Pretty much every device that takes pictures can process them. Crop your images and consider correcting them if the color balance is off. You might want to adject the brightness, contrast, or gamma, but try not to go beyond that. You might be able to process your image to make it prettier, but dont sacrifice beauty for accuracy.To Label or Not To Label?If you are going to include a label with your mineral, you can photograph a (neat, preferably printed) label along with your mineral. Otherwise, you can overlay a label on your picture using photo editing software. If you are using a digital camera and arent labeling your specimen right away, its a good idea to give your photo a meaningful name (like cordundum rather than the default filename, which is probably the date).Indicate ScaleYou may wish to include a ruler or coin with your specimen to indicate scale. Otherwise, when you describe your image you might want to indicate the size of your mineral.Try the ScannerIf you dont have a camera, you may be able to get a good picture of a mineral specimen by scanning it with a digital scanner. In some cases a scanner can produce a nice image.Take NotesIts a good idea to jot down what works and what fails miserably. This is especially helpful if you are taking a large sequence of pictures and making a lot of changes.

The Rights Opportunity Commission ( Eeoc ) - 1519 Words

Throughout History, the idea of equal opportunities and rights had and still is a major issue amongst the people of the nation. Equal opportunities is defined as the treatment of others equally without the discrimination of their sex, race or age. Actions have been made to help prevent this from ever happening. In 1964, Congress passed Public Law 88-352 (78 Stat. 241). This civil rights act â€Å"forbade discrimination based on sex and race in hiring, promoting, and firing. ... Title VII of the act created the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to implement the law.† Morris Dees acted upon this and as a lawyer for civil rights he helped prove that due to physical and social differences, you still have an opportunity to prove and have a say in the world. The want of equal opportunities by morris dees and the people, helped trigger the creation of the SPLC. The SPLC and the ideas that Morris Dees conveyed to the people created an opportunity of equality. Background on Law’s before Morris Dees Actions: In the 1960s, Americans who knew the equal protection of the laws expected the Congress, and the courts to achieve the promise of the 14th Amendment.

Integrated Anomaly Detection Cyber Security -Myassignmenthelp.Com

Question: Discuss About The Integrated Anomaly Detection Cyber Security? Answer: Introducation corporate organizations thus these are needed to be mitigated accordingly. Risk assessment should be done based on threats, vulnerabilities and consequences derived from the IT control framework. The IT control framework is consists of three different steps such as objectives, requirements and actual performance that have to be done to resolve the issues. With the help of the IT control framework the consequences of Gigantic Corporation could be resolved properly. The steps for assess the risks considering the IT control frame work include system characterizing, threat identification, control environment analysis and calculating risk rating. The entire operating and functional structure of the company is facing challenges due to lack of security approaches (Buczak Guven, 2016). In order to gain competitive advantages and more umber of consumers from the company is needed to identify the risks, assess the risks as well. However, after identifying and analyzing the risks respective control strategies are also needed to be adopted by the Corporation. Six different steps are there those are widely used by the companies to assess the identified risks of the company (Gordon et al., 2015). The Company is facing risks in their supply chain, customer relationship and existing data storage system as well. The identified risks of Gigantic Corporation are as follows: Risks in supply chain: It has been found that the physical supply chain of the company might face numerous risks. Not only this but also the supply chain also faces important role in the supply chain of the company. If any of the equipment is delivered through the supply chain then there will raise cyber security risks during the phases of cyber security (Liu et al., 2015). If any risk is identified after the delivery of any of an equipment then it is little difficult to detect the responsible person. The attacking technology such as virus inclusion in the hardware and software is currently referred to as a leading one that is highly taking place due to Trojan attack in order to serve the purpose of external hacking. Other different types of hardware attacks are also there that include the followings: The protected memory might be accessed by the unauthorized users While performing invasive operation hardware tempering might occur (Bonaci et al., 2015) With the insertion of different hidden methods, the casual authentication mechanism of the system might not support the system application For the other malware and penetrative purposes, the manufacturing backdoors might be created All of these above mentioned hardware attack or cyber threats may pertain to different devices or system also such as: The network system used by the corporation The banking or accounting system that has been used by the company The surveillance system used by the company The industrial control system used by the company The communication infrastructure of the device If the company fails to cover the cyber security basics then the common vulnerabilities and the cyber attack might become much dangerous. Due to lack of technical expertise and security alerts the cyber attackers can attack the server of the company with different cyber attacks (Hong, Liu Govindarasu, 2014). It is the responsibilities of the company to consider the most suitable risk mitigate approaches to resolve the issues easily. While identifying the system generally used by the company different threats ad risks assessment working guides are also helpful to grade the system and the two different terms based on which the assessments are widely done include severity and exposure. On the other hand, the more threats and vulnerabilities those might face by the Gigantic Corporation are elaborated below. Malware: Malware is referred to as an all encompassing term which holds various types of cyber threats including Trojan, viruses, worms etc. This is defined as a code that intents to steal confidential storage data. In addition to this it can also destroy many data stored in the computers (Carr, 2016). This might take place if the users try to download attached files and click on links send by the unknown senders. If the company lacks to use updated firewalls then also malware attack might take place. Phishing: Phishing attacks are done through emails, and links from unknown senders. In this case the attackers himself requests for data and due to lack of proper ideas those data might be misused or hijacked by the attackers (Cavelty, 2014). The phishing emails include different links those directs the users to the dummy site that would steal the users personnel data. Password attack: If the password using by the company is found to be not enough strong then, those can be easily hijacked by the users. And the data stored in the server of the company would be affected easily by the unauthenticated users. It is the responsibility of the users to secure their server with strong password to avoid external attacks. Denial of Services (DOS): DOS attack is referred to as a disruption to the services of the network used by the corporate company. This might take place while sending huge set of data from the sender side through the network channel. It requests for several connections and if any wrong request is accepted then issues or external attack might occur (Buczak Guven, 2016). There are different ways through which the attackers can achieve DOS attack but the most common DOS attack is the Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack. This can also take a huge figure because in case of DDOS attack, it is difficult to detect the attack at the initial phase. Spoofing attack: The spoofing attack is referred to as an attack that is widely employed by the cyber scammers and the external hijackers even to individual, deceiving systems. Two different types of spoofing that could hamper the cyber security of the corporation are IP spoofing and ARP spoofs attack (Ben-Asher Gonzalez, 2015). These kinds of manmade attacks are initiated by the spoofers himself through unknown sources and unauthenticated users. While sending data from the sender to the receiver these kinds of attacks took place. Risk Mitigation and its Impact For the mitigation of the risk analyzed for the development of the Cybersecurity solution for Gigantic Corporation a network security plan should be developed and the vulnerability of the system should be analyzed. The network security threats are analyzed according to their level of impact on the current business process of the organization and the risk mitigation plan is prepared. For the loss of confidentiality and the integrity of the resources of the organization that have an severe impact on the growth of the organization, the servers installed in the network is required to be configured according to the business policy and proper antivirus or spyware program must be installed in the server for identification of the malicious codes that can be used by the attackers to control the network (Hall, 2016). The attacker can use the malicious codes for accessing the important information from the organizational servers such as the information of the employees, other sensitive informat ion for fooling the users and enforce distributed denial of service attacks such that the network resources are unavailable to the users connected in the network. A strong authentication mechanism should be applied for identification of the users using the system. The username and the password formation must be strong such that it cannot be easily cracked by the attackers (EugeneJennex, 2014). The password should be a combination of special character and alpha numeric such that it cannot be cracked using brute force attacks. The remote connection of the network should also be secured with the implementation of a firewall and configuring it to block the unauthorized request coming from the unknown sources. There are risk of drop of the performance of the network and increase in demand for accessing the resources of the network, in such situation it would cause delay and incur loss of data. The risks have a medium impact on the performance of the organization and can cause restriction of the users to access the core elements of the network. The risk can cause failure of the hardware and the software of the organizational network. There are risk of sabotage attacks and it can be mitigated with the configuration of the routers and the servers installed in the network (JennexDurcikova, 2013). The services that are running in the network unnecessarily such as the SNMP, TELNET and FTP should be stopped such that the hackers does not finds a way to intrude into the network. The organizational assets should be secured with password and authentication such that the remote user does not have access to the core components. The drop of the data packets in the network can cause corruption of the in formation and thus the drop of packets should be avoided for improvement of the performance of the network (Haimes, 2015). A penetration testing should be performed with the inclusion of a group of friendly system tester such that the flaws in the current information system and the organization should be identified. On proper identification of the open paths and vulnerability of the network the network should be configured to block the open ports and the unnecessary services should be stopped for eliminating the vulnerability of the network and securing the network from external agents. There are risks of link failure in the network and it can have a negative impact on the network and thus redundant link must be created such that the every part of the network can be reached using multiple paths. This increase the availability of the network resources and in case if a link between the source and the destination address is broken the redundant link can be used for transferring the data packets in the network and maintain the communication between the nodes installed in different location of the network (Bahr, 2014). The software and operating system used in the server should be updated and patched such that it is always secured. The risk of financial loss caused due to accidents and involvement of the employees working in the organization can be mitigated with the installation of an IPS and IDS system in the network and monitoring the current usage of the network resources of the network (Curran, Berry Sangsuk, 2014). The servers must be installed with a network monit oring tool such that the network administrator can monitor the flow of the data in the network and manage the network components connected in the network. The server loads can also be analyzed for balancing the loads mitigate the risk of server overload and unavailability of the data residing in the servers. For the management of the users the users needed to be grouped and their usage pattern should be identified for making the management process easy (Garca-Herrero et al., 2013). The network monitoring tool should be configured according to the usage and it should be configure to generate notification to the network administrator if any network change or abnormality in the data traffic is noted. The routers, switches, servers and the other core components of the network should be installed in a separate room and the normal users must be restricted to enter the room from mitigation of the risk from physical access. The risk of malware can be prevented by providing a training to the users to avoid installing of unknown software applications and avoiding of downloading unknown attachment from unknown sources. The routers installed in the network should also be configured with access control list such that the users cannot access the core servers (Chemweno et al., 2015). The request coming from different sources should be verified and an internal mail server should be configured for mitigation of the risk of phasing attacks and enabling the users to communicate with each other using the intranet of the organization. A data recovery and backup plan must be created for handing the emergency situation and the data should be backed up at a regular interval such that if the security of the network is compromised the backup servers can be used for retrieval of the information (EugeneJennex, 2014). The backup should be stored in remote location and cloud solution can also be deployed for remote storage and increasing the security of the network solution. Literature Review It is identified that in order to protect the website from Cybersecurity issues, it is quite important to follow some of the significant steps. According to Matthews (2017), the company needs to be keeping themselves up to date in order to avoid the issues that are associated with Cybersecurity. It is identified that if the company has proper information or knowledge about the possibility of the security risks then the website can be easily protected against the risks. The company must follow updates at various tech sites and must use that information as a fresh precaution for protecting the website. It is stated by Goud (2017) that computer users in the office generally provide an easy access route to the website servers and therefore it is very much necessary to use stronger passwords as well as providing the facility of scanning all devices for various types of malware. It is identified that it is also necessary to install proper security applications in order to secure the websit e from various types of Cybersecurity issues. It is opined by Deshpande, Nair, and Shah (2017) that installation of security applications helps in providing free plugin that generally assists in providing an additional level of protection by hiding the website CMS. By doing this, the company can become much more resilient against various types of automated hacking tools that generally scot the web. According to Wolters and Jansen (2017), the company must utilize robots txt file for discouraging the search engines in order to avoid indexing admin pages by various search engines. In addition to this, it is identified that website faces number of concerns due to file uploads. Due to numerous file uploads, bugs generally get enter and assists in allowing the hacker to get access of unlimited data from the website (Kessler, Dardick Holton, 2017). One of the best solution of avoid the problem of hacking is to prevent access to any of the files that are uploaded in the website. The files must be stored outside the root directory and proper script must be utilized in order to access the information whenever necessary. It is stated by Fowler et al. (2017) that utilization of an encrypted SSL protocol for transferring the personal information as well as data between the database as well as website is considered as one of the significant step as it generally helps in preventing the infor mation being read as well as transit without appropriate authenticity. Furthermore, proper backup system must be present so that when the hard disk drive fails then the data will be easily recovered with the help of the backup system. One of the important steps that must be taken in order to secure the website from various types of security issue is to utilize proper web application firewall. It is stated by Majhi (2015) that web application firewall is mainly sets between the servers of the website as well as data connection in order to read each of the data that is passing through it. It is identified once the application of firewall is installed within the system it assists in blocking all the hacking attempts as well as assists in filtering out different types of unwanted traffic like spammers and malicious bots.
