While there are only four oceans, there are many more than seven seas. Choose a sea, gulf, or ocean and describe it for the class. Be sure to include its location, how it formed, its size, and any other significant facts about it. Explain one way in which humans utilize this body of water. You cannot choose one that has been chosen by another classmate, of course.

For this discussion, you are tasked with identifying any one major, contemporary challenge that faces today’s leaders. You may pick any challenge (such as climate change) of interest to you and describe how any one leader has responded to that challenge. In your response, share why you chose these specific examples and what you think this public response says about the leader you have chosen.

Substantiate your discussion post by sharing at least two reference hyperlinks (news article, blog post, other research) which helps to substantiate your response. For example, if you were to write on climate change, you might cite the following BBC article (Links to an external site.) along with a specific example of a leadership response (such as this article (Links to an external site.)explaining a recent Tweet by Elon Musk).

The Medical Staff Coordinator has again called upon your expertise in the area of healthcare law. You have been asked to provide a written discussion on professional liability and medical malpractice. You are asked to provide the information outlined below and use research (at least two sources) to substantiate your discussion.

Part 1

• Define liability and malpractice.
• Summarize the three areas of general liability for which a physician/employer is responsible.

Part 2

• Discuss medical malpractice prevention and summarize the 4 C’s:
  • Caring
  • Communication
  • Competence
  • Charting
• Discuss the role and purpose of risk management

Use APA formatting and citation standards. Use at least two (2) scholarly references published within the last 5 years to substantiate your work.

Hello,

I need two responses of at least 150 words each for the below students discussions for this week. Also in the bold below are the questions the students at answering.

1) Research and discuss biometric applications for use with mobile devices.

Student one:

Good morning class,

I always love to learn more about biometric applications for use with mobile devices because it is becoming more and more common to use and technology progresses. When I think of biometrics with mobile devices, I immediately think of the TouchID with Apple and the FaceID that they developed within the past 2 years that allows a user to do things such as unlock their phone or make a payment just by authentication with their face. After researching, I have discovered that there are more types of biometric uses for the mobile device. For instance, hand recognition is considered a newer type of biometric in which it uses the rear facing camera on the phone and the flash to take a picture of the person’s fingerprints (Callahan, 2018). Another interesting biometric that I never considered, especially since it is not really a physical biometric. By continuously using your phone, the hardware and software can develop a behavioral pattern which can be “measured by a device’s myriad sensors”, to include if the device has moved to another location or if the microphone picks up your voice and it continues to match (Callahan, 2018). This can help the phone realize that you are the correct user for it. I personally don’t think that it is the most secure way of using biometric authentication on a mobile device, but I do believe with an additional biometric method, it could be very secure and continue to develop its accuracy over the years.

Sincerely,

Cierra

Student two:

Hey class,

I found this weeks forum to be extremely relevant and interesting given that the majority of people interact with mobile biometrics on a daily basis. Cell phones introduced fingerprint scanning as early as the mid 2000’s. According to Business Insider, biometrics on cell phones “did not truly become mainstream until 2013.” (Agomuoh, 2017). The iPhone 5S was the first major phone that incorporated a biometric system in the form of a fingerprint scanner in 2013 (Agomuoh, 2017). This allowed users to unlock their phones as well as authenticate themselves for things such as apple pay purchases and to download apps from the app store. From there, it has only gotten more sophisticated with facial recognition. Apple made facial recognition mainstream when they introduced it on iPhones. Many android phones now have iris scanning available. More importantly and just as grand is may android phones have the ability for users to select which biometric authentication pertains to what task. For example, you can have facial recognition set to unlock your device and have iris scanning authenticate purchases. The future will have undoubtedly more biometric scanners incorporated into cell phones as the technology exponentially grows. At the current moment, many developers are trying to enhance voice recognition software, so that it can be coupled with other biometrics to increase security. Developers are worried that spoofing may be an option with voice recognition. People will try to use recordings and voicemails to authenticate, thus making this technology harder to secure. From briefly researching, I have learned some companies are trying to incorporate a live feature, that records your physiological movements when you speak a phrase for voice recognition. This will deter those from utilizing recordings. These applications have increased the security of cell phones immensely. The user interface is extremely simple and has been one of the most important characteristics of these features aside from security. Thanks.
