The database administrator, or DBA, is responsible for managing and altering the database as needed.  They ensure that database systems are backed up and functioning properly.  They also must ensure that the information being stored within the database is protected and accurate. Protecting data security, privacy, and integrity is of utmost importance and the responsibility can be a tough task with technology advancing so rapidly. They also must comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, for short.  The textbook explains different SQL functions that may be used when dealing with data dictionaries. The first example they list is to add the names and creation dates by a particular user.  The SQL statements for this would be: 

SELECT NAME, CTIME

FROM SYSTABLES

WHERE CREATOR = ‘JONESVI’;  (Coronel & Morris, 2017).  

Having this information would allow database administrators to more closely monitor what is being added and by who.

An organizations data is considered a valuable corporate asset thus protecting its security, privacy, and integrity are vital. A DBA plays a key role in this. The DBA’s managerial role includes the planning, organizing, testing, monitoring, and delivering of the data and database (Coronel & Morris, 2017). Planning involves providing end-user support which includes providing the data and information needed to their departments and resolving conflict and problems. The organizing activity requires “the continuous enforcement of policies, procedures, and standards for correct data creation, usage, and distribution with the database” (Coronel & Morris, 2017). Through testing and monitoring the DBA ensures the security of the database as well as ensuring that it is backed up to protect it from loss. The data protected in the database is only useful if the people that need it can access it so delivery of the data is another important job of the DBA. 

A data dictionary can be used to manage the organizations information and who has access to it. SQL statements that can be used to monitor the security of the database by granting and removing a user’s access and by defining what the user can actually do or has done in the database. The SQL statements CREATE USER and DELETE USER can be used to add or delete a user in the database. ALTER ROLE can be used to change what a user can do in the database.

This SQL statement allows the DBA to so see all names of tables created by the user Jones and the date they were created. 

SELECT NAME, CTIME

FROM SYSTABLES

I’m studying and need help with a Writing question to help me learn.

Research by many (i.e. Bockner, n.d.) say that an individual cannot really change their gender. Can you find other research supporting or contradicting this statement? Do you agree or disagree with it?  

NOTE: I need totally 2 different answers for the above question 

I don’t understand this Film question and need help to study.

These general discussion forum instructions and guidelines can be found in the course syllabus, and apply to all discussion forums:

For full credit, you need to make at least one post, and one reply to another student’s post, for each discussion. And the posts need to be relevant and substantial—on topic, at least 150 words approx.

Please address both discussion prompts below, separately. And try to tie in a few ideas from our first assigned readings.

1. Focusing on Muybridge’s motion study photography, Edison’s kinetoscope films, and the Lumieres brothers films, offer some thoughts on their style, and approach to representation. What kind of thinking, or unconscious impulses, are inspiring these very first cinematic images? How might Muybridge’s photos relate to both scientific attitudes, and painting movements like Impressionism, prevalent during the late 1800’s? How do Edison’s and Lumieres brothers’ films – the first true films ever made – relate to spectacle, entertainment, showmanship, voyeurism, and documentary realism (all still dominant modes of filmmaking today)–?

1. Offer some comments on the evolution of storytelling, in a few of the films from Trip to the Moon through The Girl and Her Trust. What do you notice about advances in editing, framing and acting, to help tell the story? What kinds of stories are told? What might these stories reveal about the time period (early 1900s), in terms of technology, gender, morality, and so on–?

This week we focus on the social and organizational issues that exist with better understanding why changes occurs.  This week discuss the phases of change noted in the Linear Development in Learning Approaches section in the Information Technology and Onarganizatiol Learning text.

For this assignment, I would like to use the quantitative design to collect data and evaluate the effectiveness of the practice project proposal.   Pilot (2017) states that quantitative data comes from measurements of research variables. These measurements yield data for research in the expression of numeric form or simple binary values (e.g., 1=yes, 2=no). The other data is qualitative, which are in narrative form, or in the form of words rather than numbers. Researchers collecting qualitative data tend to have a flexible, unstructured approach rather than more formal data collection (Polit, 2017). Meadows-Oliver (2019, p. 193) stated, qualitative evidence answers clinical questions about the human experience, such as how one perceives an experience. This type of data is more applicable for evaluating readiness and overall perception of the organization. With this perception of readiness for change revealed, barriers and/or support for the project proposal can be identified.   When support and barriers are revealed, this will also allow alignment with other supports in different leadership roles to further the proposal project.

Quantitative research is objective form of data collection; expressed in numbers and graphs. It is used to test or confirm theories and assumptions and establish generalized facts about a subject (Streefkerk, 2019). With quantitative research, the evidence in my evidence-based practice (EBP) proposal is proven effective. The data is straight forward and can be determined if a practice is effective or not. Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a major health care concern and can lead to serious complications in diabetic patients (Tan, et. al., 2019). The goal of my EBP project is to decrease amputations in Native American patients by increasing training and education on proper diabetic foot care, thus preventing an ulcer in the first place. 

Quantitative evidence provides the knowledge necessary for practice. It supports personal and experimental knowing through participant’s words and stories that is applied to nursing care practices. Common quantitative methods include experiments, observations recorded as numbers, and surveys with closed-ended questions (Streefkerk, 2019). Most nursing research involves the collection of new data through self-report, observation, biophysiological implementation, or performance tests, some research involves the analysis of previous data (Polit, 2017). For my EBP project, direct patient engagement and clinical records would be a primary source for data collection. 

Quantitative research design is the best for my EBP project because it generates and summarizes the evidence to my question. Quantitative research will be able to show how valid and effective the project is by taking previous data (numbers) and post data regarding if there are less diabetic foot ulcers and another if people are more informed on the topic as a primary prevention. This methodology requires critical appraisal of primary studies, data extraction in a reliable and repeatable way, and examination for validity of the results (Oh, 2016).

Karla:

For my EBP project of implementing for self-care strategies for increase resiliency to decrease turnover, burnout, improve mood, compassion, the best data would be a use of both quantitative and qualitative data. However, when assessing the topic of the project and how the intervention is based more on feelings and thoughts and resulting data can be based on both quantitative data and qualitive data so if I am choosing just one, qualitative data would be the best option. I think focusing on self-reporting data methods would be most successful for this topic. Questionnaires like the ProQOL-V have been used with great success and it is a validated tool that would be helpful in assessment of findings using the scale. There are additional metrics like turnover intention and absenteeism that would need to be measures. This could be done by surveys to measure turnover intention and ths would be another self-reporting qualitative method that would best for determining outcomes. Additionally, qualitative methods like observational tools like attendance records to assess absenteeism and turnover that has occurred with the staff members on the respective pilot units would be a good fit for the project (Polit, 2017).
