HIST 1378

Paper 1- Due Thursday February 9, by 11:59 pm (electronic submission in blackboard)

NO PLAGIARISM or OUTSIDE SOURCES

PROMPT:  Over the course of the late-19th century, the United States began its ascent to becoming the world power it was during the American Century. Using at least one example from EACH social, economic, and foreign policies, what philosophical and ideological developments had the most impact on turning America into the global powerhouse it was by 1900? Why?  Make sure to pick three separate ideologies and clearly explain their significance in a cohesive, argument-driven essay. Provide specific evidence from both lecture AND the course textbook (Davidson, U.S.: A Narrative History) to support your position.

In developing your paper, you must have an argument that addresses the assignment question and underline that argument. If you cannot clearly explain your position, and underline that argument, how do you expect your TA to know your argument? Your paper will be penalized if you do not underline your argument. You must cite your evidence (material you are using from lecture or the textbook) with footnotes (see styles below). Any use of internet sources or texts not assigned for this course will result in an F on the assignment and may be grounds for Academic Misconduct. 

REQUIREMENTS: Your paper must be:

3 full pages in length (no longer)

State and Nationbuilding in the Caucasus

/in /by

The instructions are pretty straight-forward, I need three questions answered, each question consisting of 500 words.

1) Discuss at least two obstacles to the establishment of functional state structures found in all three post-Soviet South Caucasian States (max. 500 words).
 
2) Discuss at least one aspect of state – and/or nationbuilding where Armenia differs from Georgia and Azerbaijan (max. 500 words).
 
3) Where on a strong-weak state continuum would you place the three South Caucasian states? Support your assessment with evidence from the course literature (max 500 words)

I have attached all the lectures and assigned course readings for the references, it should be easy to find the correct lectures, as the teacher has always made a little summary.

If course literature is not accessible by you because of permission problems, do not hesitate to ask, as I can send a PDF.

Environment And Consumption

Directions

List and discuss three industries that are affected by climate  change, and how are companies in these industries trying to reduce the  influence of climate change on their operations?  List a company from  one of the industries that has been successful in implementing a  strategy that addresses this area and discuss what the company has done.  Using academic research to support your position, develop an 800 word  APA paper on the assignment.

CIS 515 Discussion Post Responses

/in /by

CIS 515 discussion post responses.

There are two discussions here that need to be responded to thoroughly. Responses must be on APA format 150+words 1-2 legitimate verifiable sources per response.

Respond to the colleagues posts regarding:

Many legacy systems require normalization. Identify at least two factors that should be considered in order to produce an optimal normalized set of tables when performing normalization. Include in your discussion a detailed example on how each factor would eliminate data redundancy.

Optimal database design recognizes proper organization of table structures and relationships. Suggest at least two methods that can be used to improve the design of a database system.

JM post states the following:

Factors to Consider for an Optimal Normalization

Normalization refers to the process of organizing data on a database to reduce redundancy when designing a database. One of the factors to consider during normalization is naming conventions. The names used should describe the type of information contained in the database for easy data identification. Abbreviations and obscure acronyms should be avoided for names because they can easily obfuscate the meaning and can as well be challenging to remember. The naming system used across the entire database should be consistent and memorable.

It should as well provide information on users, filenames, and other related objects. Another factor to consider is the nature of the database. Tables should incur divided to ensure that data are well isolated to allow additions, deletion, and modifications without interfering with the entire database. Each field should have different information, which should be independent of the information on other grounds. It will reduce redundancy by eliminating the possibility of data duplication (Dennis et al. 12).

Method of improving the design of the database system

A properly designed database system enhance easy access to recent and accurate information. The method process of strengthening the design of database design includes normalization and storing binary data externally. Standardization ensures that data engage appropriately organized within the database. Normalization can incur achieved by using primary keys to ensure that each raw within the database system is unique. Using external data storage is also another method of improving database system design. It enhances the performance of the data and ensures easy access to the data. Refining primary keys as required for data granularity is also another method of improving database system design. The entity of using the granularity of low keys, atomic value ensures that the database is more detailed and specific (Coronel, 2016).

LP post states the following:

Question:

Many legacy systems require normalization. Identify at least two factors that should be considered in order to produce an optimal normalized set of tables when performing normalization. Include in your discussion a detailed example of how each factor would eliminate data redundancy.

Answer:

Normalization is a way to clean up the data by efficiently organizing. The guidelines have defined several levels of normalization, First Normal Form Fifth Normal Form (1NF-5NF).  1NF is the lowest level and 5NF is the highest and is rarely seen. The most common forms seen in most organizations are 1NF, 2NF, and 3NF (Access Programmers, n.d.). The purpose of these levels is to eliminate redundant data. Keeping only related data stored in the same table ensures that data dependencies make sense. Both of these are important since they reduce the amount of space a database consumes and ensures that data is logically stored (Access Programmers, n.d.).

First Normal Form (1NF) are two fundamental rules for the organization of a database.

Remove duplicate columns from the same table.

For each group of related data, create separate tables and identify each row by using a unique column or set of columns, or better yet, a primary key.

Second Normal Form (2NF), in addition to 1NF, is removing duplicate data.

Eliminate subsets of data that apply to multiple rows of a table and place them in separate tables (Access Programmers, n.d.).

Create relationships between these entities and their predecessors by using foreign keys (Access Programmers, n.d.).

Third Normal Form (3NF) in addition to 1NF and 2NF

columns that are not reliant on the primary key shold be removed (Access Programmers, n.d.).

Question:

Optimal database design recognizes proper organization of table structures and relationships. Suggest at least two methods that can be used to improve the design of a database system.

Answer:

The use of small values improves performance by using the smallest values for data that application requirements will permit (UNL Staff, 2020). One example would be to store binary large object data (BLOB) externally. And only referencing the external data will improve performance and simplify access to it.

The use of views helps hide complexity, provide aggregate data, and restricts access to rows and columns (UNL Staff, 2020).

The use of Stored Procedures provides additional security through isolation of data and prevents SQL injection through assignment to variables. Stored procedures for data access are in agreement with the layered approach to data access and provides additional performance benefits due to the precompilation of code (UNL Staff, 2020).
