Your job as a researcher for a college is going well. You have gained confidence and skill at pulling data and you are not makin

g as many rookie mistakes. The college executives are begging to take notice of your skills. The college has had serious problems with reporting in the past for several reasons. One problem is there was no centralized department for numbers. Human Resources did some reporting, financial aid another, and the rest was covered by the registrar’s office. It was difficult to determine simple things like number of students enrolled in the fall semester because different departments would generate different. The higher ups want one consistent number they can rely on and they think your department should be in charge of generating that number.
As the first report as the official office numbers they want you to generate a report that tracks student demographics over time (a longitudinal study). Your college has a large percentage of its student body who are affiliated with the military (active duty military, retired military, military spouse, military dependent). For this study the college executives want to see how they stack up to other colleges that have a large percentage of military students.
After doing some research you find a field in the database that named mil_status. The documentation you have on the field says this is the field you are looking for. Since you need to determine when the student was in the military to generate this report you look for a start and end date associated with mil_status. Sure enough the table also has a mil_status_start and a mil_status_end field. These fields when combined with enrollment data allow you to determine if a student was in the military when they were a student. You query the data to check for bad dates and discover a serious issue. Most of the start dates and end dates are NULL. You once again make some quick phone calls to find out what’s going on. It seems this field is not populated unless the college receives official paperwork from the military listing the soldier’s enlistment date. In addition to this you find out that students are not required to update their information ever semester. This means once their mil status is set it is unlikely to ever change. Based on this information prepare a post that addresses the following:
1) What recommendation(s) would you make to the college’s executives to address this issue?
2) Collecting this data will have tangible and intangible costs associated with it. For example requiring official paper work adds an extra burden on registration and on the student. Students may decide to go elsewhere instead of supplying the paperwork or may stop identifying themselves as military. The executives want the data but they don’t want its collection to impact enrollment or place an undue burden on registration (the line is long enough already). How would you respond to these concerns?
3) You noticed something odd in the mil_Status field. The possible values are "Active Duty Military", "Military spouse", "Retired military", "Military Reserves", and "Military dependent". In what way is this field problematic? How could you fix it?

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Following are the things to be implemented immediately

Database should be maintained centralized manner so that any one can access data. Number should be given at the time of admission it should contain year of admission,course of admission …etc in the form of code eg. 2015FW1001 means year 2015 Fashion studies Winter admission no 1001. At the time of admission only they have to give the details of military status. Department which taking care of this issue should only have the permission to modify and delete the data. All the departments should be connected to the server by internet/intranet/network. Students should be given user id and password

Same database should be connected and given access through internet also with limited privileges so that user can update their status of military by submitting proof. By these information uploaded centralized administrative department update the status if they satisfied with the documents uploaded.

We can overcome the problem of mil status by giving the freedom to the student update their military status by uploading the documents.

Write a program in main.c that reads the file lorum.txt and counts the number of characters on each line. Your program should cr
Aneli [31]

Answer:

A C programming language was used to write a file lorum.txt and counts the number of characters on each line.

Explanation:

Raw_Code :

#include<stdio.h>

int main(){

  FILE *read,*write;       //creating file pointers

  int line=1,count=0;

  char ch;

  read = fopen("lorum.txt","r");   //opening files to read and write

  write = fopen("count.txt","w");

  while((ch = getc(read))!=EOF){       //reading lines until end of the file

      if(ch == '\n'){                   //if new line character encountred

          fprintf(write,"%d: %d\n",line,count);       //Then printing count of that line to file  

          line++;                       //incrementing the count of lines

          count = 0;                   //making characters count to 0

      }

      else{

          count++;           //if it is not new line character then increasing character count

      }

  }

  fprintf(write,"%d: %d",line,count);   //writing last lines count to count.txt

  fclose(read);

  fclose(write);

  return 0;

}

​which type of cryptography provides the most security?
Doss [256]

Answer B: Asymmetric cryptography, because the receiver has its own decryption key and cannot create encrypted messages, because he doesn't have the encryption key.

About the other answers:

A: Private keys are always involved, there has to be some secret to do encryption, so this answer doesn't say very much.

C: Digital signatures can be used to verify/prove some data comes from some person (the signer) in an unaltered way. It is not about encryption, so is not about the security of your message. You use it in combination with encryption.

D: Like A, this doesn't say very much. Shared secret keys (symmetric keys) can be used for encryption, but they are less secure since the keys have to exist in more than one place (sender and receiver).
