...Languages that are being used in these games are actual English words but has different meaning. Gamers devised these words to create a special kind of an in-game communication. Aside from this, these formulated languages add up to the repertoire of language of the gamers, making it useful rather than an impediment to learning. But as they say, too much positive is also bad, the use of these languages became frequent and uncontrollable and it came to the point that these languages are used in the classroom, which alarmed the teachers to these impending tribulations to language learning. Thus the researcher wants to examine whether this devised languages are an enrichment of the vocabulary or a distortion of it. The researcher included in this paper a brief list of the gamers’ language: A AAA Game: Pronounced “Triple A...

...Foundation and structure composed of solid core values, principals, and positive behaviors March 09, 2015 Foundation and structure composed of solid core values, principals, and positive behaviors The purpose of this expository paper is to provide information regarding the organizational culture within the security company formerly known as, Blackwater. Within this expository paper both positive and negative perspectives regarding organizational culture will be examined through first-hand experiences defining how, both perspectives influenced, encouraged, motivated or demotivated, discouraged and dissuaded the contingent workforce within Blackwater. It will also evaluate the dimensions of the organizational culture, which supported the creation of a strong culture within its contingent workforce operating in Baghdad, Iraq. A foundation and structure composed of solid core values, principals and positive behaviors helped support optimistic perspectives in the organization. According to our text, a contingent workforce is, “part-time, temporary, and contract workers who are available for hire on an as-needed basis” (Robbins, S. P., De Cenzo, D.A. & Soulter, M. 2013). Additionally, elements such as external and internal environment, environmental complexity and environmental uncertainty will also be examined to determine both positive and negative impacts...

...Integrate Science and Arts Process Skills in the Early Childhood Curriculum How can early childhood teachers help children think creatively, discover new possibilities, and connect their ideas? Integrate science and the arts in the curriculum! “The greatest scientists are also artists as well.” –Albert Einstein Kathy Morrison Art and science are intrinsically linked—the essence of both fields is discovery. Artists and scientists function systematically and creatively. Their knowledge, understanding, and outcomes are explored in hands-on studios or high-tech labs. In classrooms for all ages, integrating science and the visual arts offer children the latitude to think, discover, and make connections (Alberts, 2011). • Young children are also natural artists (Althouse, Johnson, & Mitchell, 2003). Most are delighted to participate in open-ended art activities, dramatic play, singing, and dancing. Young children paint, sculpt, sing, or dance in their own unique ways. They want to be involved in the visual and performing arts, to try new things, and to experiment with the familiar (Pinciotti, 2001). For young children, the process in science and art is much more important than whatever product may result (Stivers & Schudel, 2008). The fundamental science process skills for early childhood are to • • • • • observe, communicate, compare, measure, and organize (Sarquis, 2009). Art and science are intrinsically linked. Scientists and artists typically observe life from...

...watching and coding behaviors.” (26) Naturalistic study is a general research strategy used by developmental scientists, “typically during childhood but also with impaired adults.”(27) Naturalistic studies are conducted in order to watch the behaviors of people, as they exist their natural environment, with no attempts at intervention from the investigator. There are no attempts of intervention so that the situation is not manipulated or controlled by the investigator, and so the situation is not initiated or created by the investigator. Naturalistic observations are useful as they allow the observation of behavior exactly as it occurs in the real world. Naturalistic studies are also useful as they can help to establish the external validity of the research findings. If behavior is seen to be present in real life, it’s easier to say that the results from the study extend to the general population and that the conclusions drawn from the sampling of behavior also describe people outside of the sample. It can also be useful for researchers to study situations and variables that cannot be manipulated in a lab due to ethical concerns. For example, while it would be unethical to study the effects of a school shooting by actually causing the event to occur, researchers can gather information by using naturalistic observation when it naturally occurs. The aim of this paper is to use the naturalistic study method to describe the observations of children ages 1.5 and 5, and to see if this...

...Skip to main content Open Problems in Computer Virus Research Steve R. White IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center Yorktown Heights, NY USA Presented at Virus Bulletin Conference, Munich, Germany, October 1998 Abstract Over a decade of work on the computer virus problem has resulted in a number of useful scientific and technological achievements. The study of biological epidemiology has been extended to help us understand when and why computer viruses spread. Techniques have been developed to help us estimate the safety and effectiveness of anti-virus technology before it is deployed. Technology for dealing with known viruses has been very successful, and is being extended to deal with previously unknown viruses automatically. Yet there are still important research problems, the solution to any of which significantly improve our ability to deal with the virus problems of the near future. The goal of this paper is to encourage clever people to work on these problems. To this end, we examine several open research problems in the area of protection from computer viruses. For each problem, we review the work that has been done to date, and suggest possible approaches. There is clearly enough work, even in the near term, to keep researchers busy for quite a while. There is every reason to believe that, as software technology evolves over the next century or so, there will plenty of important and interesting new problems that must be solved in this field.

...Network Security Clint Tipps September 21, 2014 ISSC340/ APUS Prof. Bryan Jensen Abstract This paper will cover several aspects of network security. Numerous different aspects of wired and wireless network security, including protocols applied to secure a network, penetration testing, digital forensics, and network hardening will be covered. There are numerous methods for providing security to a network, and even more to gain access to one. The challenge is to be one step ahead of anyone who may wish to penetrate the network. For this reason, many owners of large networks perform penetration testing in order to identify potential holes in their network. If malicious activity is detected, using digital forensics can help identify where the attack came from. This would, in turn, lead to a network engineer to harden the network against the identified threat. Network Security Over the last decade, computer systems have increased in speed and capacity while decreasing in price. Computers that where once used in corporate environments are now less powerful than a typical household computer. While this sea change occurred, network communications have grown and improved, to allow computers to communicate easily from remote locations, adding vast opportunities for illegal activities. Data can maliciously be changed or destroyed, systems can be made to malfunction and long distance charges can be avoided. One of the biggest challenges today is to control the security of the...

These individuals and families live in substandard housing, with limited or no access to sanitation, potable water, and health care, have low levels of literacy, and earn very low incomes. Scholars and practitioners alike suggest that the problems existing in subsistence marketplaces demand the attention and involvement of responsible businesses and that doing business with consumers in such marketplaces can be both socially responsible and profitable. This research explores the strategies and tactics currently being used across commercial and social enterprises...
