Read the below content in URL https://www.scu.edu/ethics/focus-areas/leadership-ethics/resources/the-ceo-of-starbucks-and-the-practice-of-ethical-leadership/ Please answer all the questions. Creating  Community:  Did Johnson use Starbucks’ shared values as the cornerstone of his decision making after the arrests?  Did his decision to close all  Starbucks stores for unconscious bias training and to create a new  “Third Space Policy” align with Starbucks’ mission and goals?  Did his handling of the incident promote positive relationships between employees and customers? Did it encourage a sense of connectedness and shared values? Encouraging  Ethical Conduct:  Did Johnson openly acknowledge that his decision was based on ethics and morality?  Did his apology and actions promote awareness of an ethical issue? Did it create a positive or negative difference in the communities Starbucks serves? Did it make a positive or negative difference for Starbucks employees and customers? Showing  Discipline in One’s Role:  Does Johnson explicitly accept responsibility for the incident and provide direction for a course correction? Does he identify ways to collaborate with others when necessary?  Does he show he understands what his role is in fixing this problem? Clarifying  Culture:  Did Johnson clarify his values and the company’s values in his apology and with his subsequent actions?  Did Johnson’s apology and follow-up actions uphold Starbucks’ mission and core values? Did he identify gaps between stated and actual values?  Did Johnson’s apology help Starbucks employees figure out if their personal values align with the company’s? Designing  Ethical Systems:  Did Johnson’s actions have an impact beyond Starbucks?   Did they send a precedent for other companies to follow? Did his apology create a conversation about unconscious bias in the workplace?  How do his apology and the subsequent follow-up actions compare to other companies and CEOs that have faced similar problems?

Research and explain the term “Data Mining Query Language” and how is it used in Data Mining. References: At least one peer-reviewed, scholarly journal references. 

User acceptance testing, or UAT, is a round of testing in which the users who are expected to use the system after it goes live exercise the system. UAT differs from quality assurance, or QA, testing in a very important way: In UAT, real users attempt to use the system-in-development in a realistic manner—that is, the way they plan to use it after it goes live. In QA, technical people (who may or may not be familiar with how the system is actually going to be used in a business setting) exercise specific bits of functionality. Because of this difference in approach, UAT often exposes bugs that were not caught in QA. In addition, UAT allows users to feel confident that the system will work as they expect it to once it has been implemented, and to signal this confidence formally by signing off on the UAT. For this assignment, you will work with your team members to build a User Acceptance Test Plan for the team project (system) you defined collaboratively in Weeks 2 and 3. As part of this plan, you will create acceptance criteria for all user stories/scenarios associated with this project. In other words, you will collectively generate user stories/scenarios (i.e., brainstorm how users can reasonably be expected to use the system you defined) and then define each of the user stories/scenarios you list as a bug, a function not working as expected, a request for improvement, or a feature request. To complete this assignment: Read “Acceptance Criteria in Scrum: Explanation, Examples, and Template.” Review the following sections of Ch. 13, “Launch and Post-Launch: UAT, Security Testing, Performance Testing, Go Live, Rollback Criteria, and Support Mode,” in The Complete Software Project Manager: Mastering Technology from Planning to Launch and Beyond: “User Acceptance Testing: What It Is and When It Happens” “Controlling UAT and ‘We Talked About It in a Meeting Once,’ Part Deux” “Classifying UAT Feedback” “Bugs” “Not Working as Expected – The Trickiest Category” “Request for Improvement” “Feature Request” “Conflict Resolution and Final Launch List” As a group, complete the COS sheet portion of the linked UAT Plan Template. Note: Click theCOS tab that appears at the bottom of the spreadsheet to see the COS sheet. COS stands for Conditions of Satisfaction/Acceptance Criteria. Save your collaboratively completed UAT plan template using a unique file name that does not include the string “Template”. 

Deterrence is designated to dissuade potential violators from launching threat and criminal acts against organizations. Aura Security in physical security is often heightened by security professional measures such as signs placed along perimeters near openings of the facility. Aura security strives to create strong phycological deterrent warning offenders and keeping them away from the facility. Deterrence has very limited or no physical security mechanism and Detection apparatus is used in most facilities to detect perpetrators. Such devices include devices closed-circuit television (CCTV), intrusion sensors, duress alarms, weapons screening devices and protective dogs.  Traditionally, these devices are installed to identify violators upon arrival in the facility. The university president is very concerned about external threats. What countermeasures such as deterrence or detection must be implemented on campus to enhance student, faculty and staff security?

We as a society, within the boundaries of the United States and its territories, are addressing a faceless global threat that we have come to know as the coronavirus or COVID-19.  It attacks at the heart and soul of the nation and requires a multifaceted approach with a host of parties: federal government, state governments, municipalities, private sector, and non-governmental organizations as well. Should the pre-planning on the part of the private sector  and non-governmental organizations be interfaced with the government’s planning prior to any nationwide disaster or national emergency? If so, what is the best or better path forward? 

Chapter 7 presents a comparative analysis of various tools useful in policymaking. Select two tools described in chapter 7 from different categories, and describe how these tools could be used to develop a policy for optimizing bus and local train schedules to minimize energy use and passenger wait times in a SmartCity environment.  To complete this assignment, you must do the following: As indicated above, select two tools described in chapter 7 from different categories, and describe how these tools could be used to develop a policy for optimizing bus and local train schedules to minimize energy use and passenger wait times in a SmartCity environment.

Select three of the following information systems: Radiology, Emergency, Surgical, Dental, Pharmacy. Create a 10- to 15-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation in which you define and describe each information system, including a discussion of its purpose and use. Write a 1-page handout to accompany your presentation, and include speaker notes within the presentation.
