...Kurt Lewin’s theory. During this phase, organizations begin to implement changes and the behaviors of the employees start to change (Spector, 2010). According to Lewin (2010), “Those new behaviors, must become permanent, for at least a desired period of time” (p. 29). The stakeholder’s agreement to implement a Telemedicine Intensive Care Unit (tele-ICU) in the Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) becomes operational. The second part of this Organizational Change Plan focuses on strategies for implementing a tele-ICU in the MICU. The chief medical director assigns a project manager to the project to oversee the implementation of the tele-ICU. The project manager schedules large weekly meetings with the stakeholders to ensure everyone is completing their assigned tasks. The project manager has an issues log containing issues categorized by subject, owner, and pending due date or completed date. The purpose of the issues log is to track and resolve issues as identified to keep the project moving forward. If the stakeholders in the meeting cannot resolve the issues, the project manager reviews the issues with the chief medical director for resolution. In addition, the project manager schedules small group meeting with different departments. The small groups report to the larger group to keep everyone abreast of all activities. The clinical subgroup committee is a group that oversees the clinical integration of this project. The tele-ICU clinicians reside in...

...With the completion of the sleep log assignment, I have been able to pinpoint patterns in my behaviors right before falling asleep, which has influenced my sleep pattern and mental state upon waking up. I was also able to create my own behavioral modification program, as a way to change my own negative behaviors, thus improving my sleep environment. It is recommended that you should eat your last meal or snack three hours before you intend on falling asleep. The busy environment of college life has caused me to arrive home later than I would expect, which has forced me to eat some late dinners at around 9:00-10:00 pm. Also, I have grown accustomed to eating meals at home while laying in my bed, rather than sitting in a chair. Late-night eating,...

...Developing a Log-based Motivation Measuring Tool Arnon Hershkovitz and Rafi Nachmias1 {arnonher, nachmias}@post.tau.ac.il 1 Knowledge Technology Lab, School of Education, Tel Aviv University, Israel Abstract. The purpose of this study is to develop a conceptual framework and a tool for measuring motivation of online learners. The study was carried out in three phases, the first of which was the construction of a framework, based on an extensive literature review. Phase two consisted of identifying variables computable from log file data, associate with the framework and compatible with previous empirical research. For this purpose, an empirical study was designed and a specific learning environment focusing on vocabulary for adults was chosen. Log files of a large population (N=2,162) were collected and variables were identified using Learnograms, a visual representation of learning variables over time. This phase resulted in seven explicitly defined variables, along with a mechanism to calculate them from the raw log files. The third phase included preprocessing of the dataset (reducing it to 674 cases) and application of hierarchical clustering of the variables. This phase resulted in three clusters interpreted to fit the three dimensions of motivation defined in the framework. A discussion of this study and further research is provided. 1 Introduction Assessment of learners' motivation in online environments has been a challenge for both researchers...

...communication strategies influence healthy behavior at multiple levels. The scope of this project stems from the currently underdeveloped nature of studies focused on dietary behavior and communication. Due to competing discussions across local, state, and federal spheres, confusion and misinformation regarding dietary guidelines and behavior proliferate; such a phenomenon reveals the widespread need for more focused, effective studies aimed at: 1) addressing how communication on dietary behavior influences lifestyles; and 2) positively impacting the dietary behavior of Americans via more effective communication strategies. The means by which...

...can also use a software network scanner to track them. Also large numbers of packets caught by your router or firewall's egress filters. Egress filters prevent spoofed packets from leaving your network, so if your filter is catching them you need to identify their source, because it is a clear sign that devices on your network have been compromised. Unscheduled reboots of server machines may sometimes signify that they are compromised as well. You should already be watching the event logs of your servers for failed logons and other security-related events. Log Files encompass complete records of all security events (logon events, resource access, attempted violations of policy, and changes in system configuration or policies) and critical system events (service/daemon start/stop, errors generated, system warnings) that can allow an administrator to quickly discover the root cause of any issues. When remote users do not have recent patches or updates, the system administrator should set up group policies such as, forcing updates to install right away. Rather than having, the...

...organizations must implement in order to maintain information security. Information must be protected from those without a readily need to know to perform organizational business functions. Unauthorized access to information can have a detrimental impact on an organization from a legal and operating perspective. One of the primary preventive controls that provide an organization with many operational benefits is continuous log management policies. In addition to helping solve network security related issues, logs can be extremely beneficial in identifying unauthorized access and behaviors. Security logs assist in identifying policy violators, fraudulent behavior, real time operational problems, and provide necessary data to perform auditing, transaction back tracking and forensic analysis. In addition to the many benefits of having policies in place for continuous log analysis, standards and regulations have increased business awareness of the requirements for archiving and reviewing system logs as part of daily continuity. Some of the influential regulations that reference log management and other information security task include the following. • Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA) requires entities to ensure the development and execution of organizational processes and internal controls designed to secure information systems. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) encompasses information security benchmarks for protecting consumer...

...The Dynamics of Viral Marketing ∗ Jure Leskovec Machine Learning Department, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA Lada A. Adamic School of Information, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI Bernardo A. Huberman HP Labs, Palo Alto, CA 94304 April 20, 2007 Abstract We present an analysis of a person-to-person recommendation network, consisting of 4 million people who made 16 million recommendations on half a million products. We observe the propagation of recommendations and the cascade sizes, which we explain by a simple stochastic model. We analyze how user behavior varies within user communities defined by a recommendation network. Product purchases follow a ’long tail’ where a significant share of purchases belongs to rarely sold items. We establish how the recommendation network grows over time and how effective it is from the viewpoint of the sender and receiver of the recommendations. While on average recommendations are not very effective at inducing purchases and do not spread very far, we present a model that successfully identifies communities, product and pricing categories for which viral marketing seems to be very effective. 1 Introduction With consumers showing increasing resistance to traditional forms of advertising such as TV or newspaper ads, marketers have turned to alternate strategies, including viral marketing. Viral marketing exploits existing social networks by encouraging customers to share product information with their friends...

...MGMT 591 LEADERSHIP AND ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR THE FORGOTTEN GROUP MEMBER CASE STUDY PROFESSOR: JACCI CHRISTOPHER JUSTIN AKUFFO SEPTEMBER 25TH 2012 IDENTIFY AND SUMMARIZE THE STAGES OF GROUP DEVELOPMENT Forming Stage- The member in this stage will formally interview each other or ask questions about one another so they can be comfortable. It can range from anything personal to professional. They might want to know what I can offer to the group or what can I benefit from the group. He or he at this level is also learning someone’s behavior and they can be stereotyped as well during the process. This is where Christine was elected to be the Team Coordinator. Storming Stage- At this stage the members seem to be emotional and experience some sort of conflict. For example; Diane seeming not as open as the other members. She was able to suggest some great ideas but only when asked directly. Mike on the other hand had an issue with the meeting because of his television show. Steve seemed serious and wanted an agenda for a meeting they held. Christine was a perfectionist; she gave her all and strived to do the best. These are some examples of the storming stage. Norming Stage-During this stage they seem more together or cohesive and it looks like they are at some agreement. The only person who is not working is Mike; even though Christine set a time that would work for everyone. Performing Stage-This stage demonstrates everyone being more organized and motivated...

...Time Management Techniques – A Literature Review Kara Sterago Liberty University Dr. Wentlandt 12 December 2014 Time Management Techniques – A Literature Review Abstract The purpose of this literature review is to review various documented methodologies to approaching time management. Approaches to time management are reviewed from both a student and a professional (business) setting. This review finds that behaviors surrounding time management have a demonstrated relation to a student or professional’s perception of their ability to control their environment. This includes available time, response to stress in their environment, and level of performance. 1. Introduction One thing that can be heard ringing through any office building, college library or study hall, and many other professional settings is complaint. Complaint that there are not enough hours in the day, days in the week, weeks in the month, etc. How can we be expected to get all this done? All of these complaints lead to the discussion of managing one’s time. In order to manage your time, one must know what time management is. With a quick Google search, or a trip to the self-help section of the book store, you can find an abundance of resources ready at your fingertips, offering you various “must-have” guides to your time management success. One thing you will not find, however, is a consistent definition of time management. So what is time management? Time management is a concept that has...

... Introduction The majority of overweight children become overweight adolescents which leads them to become overweight adults. The bureau’s recommendations included treatments that included the family as well as the child. Research shows that overweight children are likely cause from lack of parental support or guidance the proposed solution provides the grounds for families to become active in each others lives as well as teaching the children to take charge of their outcomes as well. The goal of any preventive measures for obesity is to look at behaviors, medical goals and weight goals. Permanent change and weight loss should be the ultimate goal, not quick fix treatments for rapid weight loss. The goal of this project is for the children involved in the study to lose 10-20% of body weight and for the child and the family to have necessary tools, such as recipes, ideas, act ivies, and positive behavior patterns, in order to keep the weight off. Daily as well as weekly weigh-ins for the children will monitor their results. A staff member will administer the quizzes to the children and in the last four weeks two staff members will administer the quizzes one to the families and one to the children. Goals are 10-20% of being body weight and 90-100% on daily quizzes. After successfully completing first course take plan with outcomes around to neighboring doctors, clinic, and hospitals, in hope of building community success and to share the importance of early intervention...
