Topic: Improvised Explosive Device detection through statistical analysis
1. Research Question(s): What is/are your proposed research question(s)? Note: Please only state ONE or TWO research questions. These should not be questions to which there is only one answer (such as “yes” or “no”).
What is the frequency of Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) detonations in Shia, Sunni, and Christian enclaves in the city of Baghdad?
How is the timing of vehicle bourne IEDs (VBIEDs) detonations related to those neighborhoods?
2. Rationale (Please limit to 250 words): Describe the importance of your research question(s) supported by current literature. What implications will the results have for your practice and/or the health of society in general?
The purpose of this paper is to examine the frequency of Improvised Explosive Device (IED) attacks in Baghdad and to correlate those areas in which they are detonated as primarily Shiite, Sunni, or Christian enclaves of Baghdad.
The term IED, is now part of our lexicon. It is the signature device of terrorist groups used for fomenting division, terror, and destruction in Iraq. It is the weapons of mass destruction (WMD) of Iraq. Bombings are a daily occurrence in Baghdad. Every bombing is investigated to some extent to include location, type of device, number killed, and injured.
In order to understand and ultimately attempt to thwart the use of IEDs, it is important to understand the characteristics of bomb makers, planters, suppliers, initiators, those who warehouse the material and the correlation of the neighborhood in which they detonated. A study by conducted by Paulo Shakarian, V.S. Subrahmanian, and Maria Luisa Sapino (2009) described a statistical method by which they could predict where the most likely safe houses were to produce and warehouse IEDs. Their study focused on Iranian terror groups known as Quds; Jaysh al-Madhi (JAM), or the Mahdi army. The U.S. government has invested millions of dollars in means and methods to detect, disrupt, and destroy bomb makers, factories, terrorists, and preemptively locate and destroy IEDs.
Why is this subject important? We must find better methods to protect our citizens against these weapons. Research, vigilance, and innovation are major aspects in the search to prevent and interdict this destructive component of terrorism.
3. Study Design: What type of design do you propose to address your research question (e.g., correlation, quasi-experimental, case study, etc.)? For a list of study designs approved for the ARP, please refer to the Applied Research Project guide.
http://guides.atsu.edu/DHSc_ARP_Guide.
The Study design is Quantitative correlative. It will be conducted using data taken from daily open source security reports to produce information about frequency and specific areas of IED attacks in Baghdad, Iraq.
Baghdad has 11 sections that are divided into religious sects that reside within them. Open source information will be turned into numbers for statistical analysis using Chi Square distribution. The null hypothesis is that the majority of IEDs are placed in Shiite areas. The method of developing the frequency of use will be based on attack reports. For example, Shiite neighborhoods will have a one (1) value, Sunni (2) and Christian enclaves (3) values. For each attack with an IED, that point will be plotted on a map and the corresponding value will be added to those neighborhoods via a statistical tool (Excel). The time of day or night can be added into the information to provide an additional component. The numbers for the given period of time will be added into the statistics program.
The evolution of IED campaigns and the relationships to sectarian neighborhoods can be visually displayed graphically. The statistical analysis program SPSS can produce data that will help correlate frequency of attacks and will help show patterns related to frequency of areas that are common targets. With this information, in concert with other means and methods, can add to the arsenal of recommended preventative actions by authorities. The period to be surveyed will be 01 January 2014 to 01 August 2014.
4. Source of Study Participants or Secondary Data: From where will you recruit study participants? What challenges or barriers do you anticipate?
If you plan to use existing secondary data, discuss the steps involved in accessing the data. Will you need any specific computer program(s) to download the data?
This data is stored and disseminated in Daily Threat Assessments and sent as an email attachment to security companies working in Iraq. The attachment lists all neighborhoods not only in Baghdad but throughout the rest of the country and describes type of attack, location, time and numbers of individuals injured, killed, or kidnapped. The information is open source and there is no security requirement regarding the information. The statistical program to be used for analysis will be SPSS.

Topic: Consumer Behaviour
This assessment task consists of the following parts.
A. Please keep a diary of your consumption for a month. Then report 3 purchase activities you made during that period. The 3 purchases should be based on habitual, limited, and extended decision making respectively. For each of these decisions that you made please indicate 1) what was bought ; 2) what kind of purchase it was (habitual, limited, extended) and why the purchase fits that category; 3) what triggered problem recognition; 4) how much time was spent on information search; 5) how many alternatives were considered before making your choice.
B. Please develop a list of 6 different options that can all address the problem leading to your extended purchase. For example, if the extended purchase you made was a white 2006 Ford Falcon sedan with automatic transmission, you can include in your list this vehicle and 5 other vehicles with 5 different brands. Furthermore, you may wish to include indicative prices or pictures of the options you have chosen to include.
Develop a second list of at least 6 evaluative criteria (Chp 5 of your text) that people might consider when choosing among these options– for example, brand, price, body type, year, transmission, colour etc for vehicle options.
Place these two lists in a decision matrix (example in textbook).
C. Show this decision matrix to 3 people.
Ask them to rank the evaluative criteria – how important is each criterion in determining THEIR choice among these options? (For example you might ask them to allocate 100 points in total to the evaluative criteria depending on the relative importance of each criterion).
Ask them to rate each option on your list against each of the criteria (for example, using a scale of 1 – 5, option one might score well on criterion one and get a 5 while it is poor on criterion two and gets a 1.)
Using the compensatory decision rule calculate which option your respondent is most likely to choose based on the matrix. Is this the one they would have actually chosen? If there is a difference, please provide a brief explanation.
D. Using the theoretical areas below, analyse and explain the behaviour of your respondents. Try to explain the differences between their criterion rankings and choices using theory from:
Demographics (age, gender, family situation, income, ethnicity etc)

Topic: children’s understanding of the earth
Remember that word limits are for the body of an assignment, only. They do not include the title page, abstract, quotes or references, or in this case, the method and results sections that we are giving you.
– Abstract: You should include an abstract (approximately 150 words) that states the central issue(s), what you did and what you found, and what conclusions you can draw from the findings. Obviously, you will need to write very concisely to fit this all in.
Introduction: Here you need to provide a rationale for the study. You need to (briefly) describe the research domain and discuss prior research that provides a basis for your expectations (research questions) and for the methodology we have used. You should end up with one research question relating to age, and one research question relating to methodology.
Discussion: Here you need to start by describing the relationship between your expectations (research questions) and the findings, and between the findings and prior research before going on to consider how the findings can be interpreted and whether any implications can be drawn from them.
Do link your findings back to previous research and theory before going on to talk about methodological issues.
It is certainly desirable to think critically about what we did (and you can draw on your own experiences in data collection with your participant to illustrate this, if you wish) but don’t just list a whole raft of things that may have been wrong with this study. Do remember that you were one of the researchers! Always discuss how any problems you identify may have affected the results. Is there any evidence of this?

Topic: An Assessment of the Quality of Corporate Governance within Bread Talk Group Limited and the impact on Bread Talk Group Limited’s key stakeholders
1) This is a Research and Analysis Project (RAP)
2) Requirement to write a Business related Research Report
3) Successful RAP: you have to evaluate and / or analyse information from a range of sources. This means creating some meaning of what you have found, or making a judgment or coming to a conclusion. If you only report the information that you have found or generated, you will not pass the RAP. The ability to evaluate and / or analyse information is a very important graduate attribute and the grade that you are awarded for your RAP will be significantly influenced by ‘how well’ you demonstrate your evaluative and/or analytical skills in your RAP.
4) Your RAP will focus on accounting and / or business issues within an organisation. It is very important to remember that the reported financial performance of an organisation – is the outcome of the organisation’s business activities.
5) A private sector company (I have chosen Breadtalk Group Limited) competes against other companies to sell its goods and services and its success in doing so is reflected in the company’s financial statements and financial performance indicators. Therefore in order to explain why a company’s financial performance has changed and how key stakeholders are affected, you must look into the company’s business environment and identify those actions taken by the company, its competitors (in this case, I have chosen Auric Pacific Group Limited), government etc. which have led to changes in the company’s business performance. To understand change, you may need to look outside of the organisation chosen for your RAP.
6) Your RAP must have a single organisation as its focus.
7) You must be independent and unbiased when undertaking research. You may think very favourably about a company and / or its products. However if you choose this company for your RAP you have an obligation to look at the range of differing views about the company that exists and to evaluate all of these views within your Research Report. You should not only use those information sources that support your own view of the company.
8) The purpose of the Research Report is to give you an opportunity to demonstrate a range of Technical and Professional Skills in:
