This week we focus on establishing your editorial thinking. What does the author mean by editorial thinking? Also, this week there was a video of Andy Kirk (2015) noting the key concepts of data visualization thinking.

Additional subjective data
What additional subjective data are you seeking to include past medical history, social, and relevant family history?
Skewed data
What does skewed data mean?
How would we determine if data is skewed?
Database is accessed by many users across the enterprise.
There are times when a database is accessed by many users across the enterprise. Transaction logs can help maintain concurrency in a multiuser platform.
Describe at least two business scenarios where “commit” and “rollback” would be required.
Describe how these functions would be essential for business continuity and concurrency control.
Identify how these functions would enable an organization to recover from a database corruption event.

Instructions
Write a 2–3 page paper in which you:
Recommend at least three specific tasks that could be performed to improve the quality of data sets using the software development life cycle (SDLC) methodology. Include a thorough description of each activity per each phase.
Recommend the actions that should be performed to optimize record selections and to improve database performance from a quantitative data quality assessment.
Suggest three maintenance plans and three activities that could be performed to improve data quality.
Suggest methods that would be efficient for planning proactive concurrency control methods and lock granularities. Assess how your selected method can be used to minimize the database security risks that may occur within a multiuser environment.
Analyze how the method can be used to plan out the system effectively and ensure that the number of transactions does not produce record-level locking while the database is in operation.
Dataset’s measure of central tendency
Respond to the following:
Would you prefer to use the mean or the median in this dataset’s measure of central tendency? Why?
Based on this training class’s scores, what scores do you think should be considered for completion, remediation, and termination? How did you come to that conclusion?
Do you think that these scores should be the threshold for all training classes? Why or why not?
Data breach
What is a data breach?
What are the 3 exceptions of the definition of “breach?”
What are the requirements for reporting a breach to an individual, the media, and the Secretary?
What is the Burden of Proof?

Provide a 600 to 800-word summary (formatted according to APA guidelines) of the new research in this area from a minimum of five new peer reviewed journal articles and identify questions that need exploring in future research.
Current Trends Paragraph: In this paragraph, you will discuss the themes that you found in the research from the 5 articles related to your topic. This paragraph should be a synthesis of the research and not just a listing of annotated summaries.
Future Research Paragraph: In this paragraph, you will discuss areas of future research by referencing the 5 articles that you identified. The future research areas should be based on the findings of the authors of those articles rather than general ideas you may have.
Process of data encapsulation as data
Describe the process of data encapsulation as data is processed from creation until it exits a physical interface to a network. Use the OSI model as an example.
What OSI layer typically encapsulates using both a header and a trailer? Use an example to explain your answer.
Describe the process of data encapsulation as data is processed from creation until it exits a physical interface to a network. Use the OSI model as an example. Now, for the original part of the discussion, discuss what you think may be redundant in this process, or on the other hand, what may be missing from this process. This process has been around a long time…is it as efficient as it needs to be? Has technology done some of this so we can modify how data is sent?
Discuss what you think is the Role of TCP/IP in data transmission from source to destination. It is a fairly large suite of protocols, so pick two or three protocols of the TCP/IP suite. Then, discuss how they handle their part of the transmission of data.
Polypharmacy refers to using five or more medications based on a review of current data.
Polypharmacy refers to using five or more medications based on a review of current data. Aging places individuals at risk of multi-morbidity (coexistence of 2 or more chronic health conditions) due to associated physiological and pathological changes and increases the chances of being prescribed multiple medications.
