The Status

Since Hospital Information Systems (HIS) are designed to support doctors and healthcare professionals in their daily activities, information security plays a vital role in managing access control. Efficiency and effectiveness of information security policy is crucial, especially when dealing with situations that affect the status and life-history of the patient. In addition, the rules and procedures to follow, in order to provide confidentiality of sensitive information, have to focus on management of events on any table of the HIS. On the other hand, control and statement constraints, as well as events and security auditing techniques, play also an important role, due to the heterogeneity of healthcare professionals’ roles, actions and physical locations, as well as to the specific characteristics and needs of the healthcare organizations. This chapter will first explore issues in managing access control and security of healthcare information by reviewing the possible threats and vulnerabilities as well as the basic attributes of the hospital’s security plan. The authors will then present a hierarchical access model that, from a security policy perspective, refers to data ownership and access control issues. The authors conclude the chapter with discussions of upcoming security issues.

Security Awareness Training

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to survey the status of information security awareness among college students in order to develop effective information security awareness training (ISAT). Design/methodology/approach – Based on a review of the literature and theoretical standpoints as well as the National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800-50 report, the author developed a questionnaire to investigate the attitudes toward information security awareness of undergraduate and graduate students in a business college at a mid-sized university in New England. Based on that survey and the previous literature, suggestions for more effective ISAT are provided. Findings – College students understand the importance and the need for ISAT but many of them do not participate in it. However, security topics that are not commonly covered by any installed (or built-in) programs or web sites have a significant relationship with information security awareness. It seems that students learned security concepts piecemeal from variety of sources. Practical implications – Universities can assess their ISAT for students based on the findings of this study. Originality/value – If any universities want to improve their current ISAT, or establish it, the findings of this study offer some guidelines.

Hydraulic systems belong to the category of complex systems, between the individual elements of the histories and subsystems exist internal communication, precluding the possibility of an Autonomous fashion from cancellation. The scale of such systems and their development trends lead to the inevitable decomposition approach. Research is not always to be the whole system, and some of its fragments, which border taking into account the accepted scheme of allocation of the target product to consumers submit a set of system nodes. In this case, the nodes acquire the status of power units, because through them there is an exchange of energy between IP investigated fragment of the system and the metasystem. Examines the emerging conflict between the need for a complementary decomposition and inner interconnection of all elements. He is overcome by the imposition of conditions one of znanosti, including boundary conditions.

Lexical Data

Atlantic is one of the controversial branches of the Niger-Congo language family. Both its validity as a genetic group and its internal classification are far from being settled. The longstanding debate on the status and structure of Atlantic cannot be closed before the descriptive situation of these languages allows for sufficient and reliable lexical data; before attempts at applying the comparative method have been made; and before the extensive role of language contact for shaping the languages in question is taken into account. Although no typological feature or feature combinations characterizes the group as a whole, several features are considered typical for Atlantic languages, including noun class systems, consonant mutation, and complex systems of verbal derivation, which have been used to justify suggested genealogical groupings. Atlantic languages, with the exception of Fula, are attested in an area from Liberia to Senegal, stretching from the Atlantic coast to the hinterland.

Culture Education

In order to be effective and meaningful for students, educational venues ought reflect the creative and technological essence of the culture they serve, indeed, show leadership in these areas. They must also be forward thinking, anticipating the hture state of being within a culture. Education must, in a sense, predict the status and expectations of future culture and find strategies viable for the students future existence. Education above all teaches about “being” and strategies for “being” within varying realms of reality. Being is in crisis and architectural education reflects that crisis today as it did at the turn of this century, when paradigmatic shifts occurred from Beaux Arts based teaching methodologies to Modernist/Bauhaus methods to present Post Modem methodologies. Today’s shift is one that moves from earlier Twentieth Century industrialized based paradigms to one that is now based in information and interpretation. This shift is critically rooted in change and the resultant ability to cope within an ongoing cloud of increasingly complex systems of understanding. The most important single change needed in the education of architects and designers is the implementation of education models based in diversity and change within interdisiplinary frameworks.
