    You must read the Regional Gardens Case Study in Interact before attempting this assignment
    Regional Gardens Ltd is a company that runs a number of related gardening enterprises. It has a large display garden that it opens for public inspection a number of times a year. These enterprises include the Regional Gardens Nursery which sells plants and garden supplies to the public, and Regional Garden Planners which provides garden advice, design and consultancy services.
    Regional Gardens has engaged you as a consultant to advise them on the use of Cloud Computing in their daily operations and they have asked you to prepare a report for their Board that looks at the following aspects of the proposal:
    The first step of the board’s plan is to move the Regional Gardens website and associated web services into the cloud. However, they want some further information on:
    Whether an IaaS or a PaaS model would be more appropriate for their web services and the advantages and disadvantages of each model in this case (15 marks).
    The board also want their web services architecture to be more resilient than in the past, and they want you to recommend an architecture to achieve resiliency (15 marks).
    In keeping with the their new security policy, the Board want to keep all client and transaction data in the Bathurst Data Centre and not in the cloud. This means that clients accessing the Regional Gardens web site and web services will need to have any data that they upload stored in the Bathurst Data Centre.
    Describe to the Board how you would arrange to have client data that is uploaded to the Regional Gardens web site and services stored in the Bathurst Data Centre. (15 marks)
    Describe the advantages and disadvantages of this approach. (15 marks)
    Regional Gardens want to ensure that all their staff have the ability to access office automation, such as email, word processing and spreadsheet capabilities, as well as online storage for their files, whether they are in the office, at home, or deployed on a customer’s site in the field. The Regional Gardens board is very concerned to learn about the critical issues, other than cost, that may affect the supply of Cloud based office automation to their staff. You will need to prepare a report on the best way to provide office automation for Regional Gardens. Your report should:
    Provide Regional Gardens with TWO different approaches to providing office automation to their staff; (10 marks)
    Outline the major benefits and issues with each approach; (5 marks)
    Provide a summary of your advice to this company along with your recommendation about which option to choose. (5 marks)
    The garden design unit uses the DynaScape software suite, which is installed locally on their laptops, to design gardens and landscapes for their clients. The design staff often spend long periods at a clients property while collecting data and designing. The Board are uncertain if they should retain local installations of this software or subscribe to the SaaS version of DynaScape. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of both approaches. (20 marks)
    Your report should not exceed 10 pages, excluding references.

    Course Co-ordinators (CCs) are academics with additional responsibilities of managing student queries
    regarding a course. Their main responsibilities are advising new and current students about the correct
    subjects to register in a given study period, deciding credit grants (also known as recognition of prior
    learning) and deciding course completions. These responsibilities require knowledge of the status of
    the subjects being completed or yet to be completed vis-a-vis the stipulated subjects in the program
    map for the course. Hence this is a knowledge management activity. An IT tool called CCSAS is required
    to help CCs in this knowledge management activity

  • [ANSWERED] Zac Smyth is 18-year-old university student who lives on-campus as his parents reside in another…

    Zac Smyth is 18-year-old university student who lives on-campus as his parents reside in another state. Zac is studying engineering and enjoys university life. Zac has a part-time job working at the local supermarket for 15 hours each week. Zac has no immediate family in the state, but he has a friend of his parents that he sees from time to time. Zac usually goes home to his family during his breaks but due to his work commitments Zac has not seen his mum, dad, and younger brother for the past 4 months. Last evening Zac went out to the local pub with a few friends from university. There was a new band playing at the pub and Zac was especially excited to be going. To save money Zac and his friends met up at a friend’s house for ‘pre-drinks’. During this time Zac drank around four full strength beers. When Zac and his friends arrived at the pub, they headed straight for the bar to get another beer. Zac and his friends were having a great night, the music was good, and the pub was busy. Later in the evening Zac started talking to a friendly young woman, shortly after Zac was approached by a man who aggressively accusing Zac of talking to his girlfriend. Zac apologised and returned to his group of friends. Approximately an hour later Zac said goodbye to his friends as he decided to head home.
    As Zac was leaving the pub, he was followed out by the man who had earlier confronted him. The man was still verbally aggressive and ended up pushing Zac to the ground, resulting in Zac hitting his head on the cement curb of the road. The security guard saw this incident and intervened. Whilst Zac was not punched, he did sustain a laceration to the back of his head. The security guard noticed quite a bit of bleeding and rang an ambulance. When the ambulance arrived, Zac had a GCS of 15 and could recall the whole incident. Zac appeared to have no other injuries. The paramedics undertook vital sign which they stated were ‘normal’ and applied a bandage to Zac’s head wound. The security guard stated that he ‘didn’t think Zac lost consciousness’.

    What are the legal and ethical considerations for pathology collection, and how these are applied in organisations?
    Children in the workplace
    Children technically under the age of 18. Ask family members for Medicare card. Parent guardian consent. Collector needs working with children check.
    Duty of care
    Provide standard of reasonable care to the patient. Following policy and procedure. Carrying the identification to the patient.
    Informed consent
    Informed consent ensures the protection of the patient against unwanted treatment. We will explain the procedure to the patient before we start. When a person freely signs a consent form confirming the procedure, it means they understood all the information.
    Mandatory reporting
    If the child is aggressive or abused, you should report to your supervisor and write down the report about what happened at that time.
    Privacy, confidentiality and disclosure
    Do not discuss the patient’s personal information with anybody and avoid disclosing all the information about the patient.
    Records management
    We need to have systematic records or complete the day sheet. We should keep secure the data in a safe place if we are going somewhere.
    Work role boundaries
    Boundaries of responsibilities: Respect by yourself and others. Avoid any type of arguments.
    Sources of non-blood sample requests and interactions with other health services.
    Work health and safety
    Always keep in mind, our safety and patient’s safety is first during the procedure. If some blood fluid is on the floor, we can use a warning sign to prevent visitors from injury. We will use the equipment very safely such as needle and vacutainer.

For example, if the input list is [3, 9, -20, 16, 9, 7, -5, 28, 20, 5, -20], then the output will be [-20, -5, 3, 5, 7, 9, 16, 20, 28]. In this assignment, you are required to do the following: 1. Describe seven metamorphic relations for this problem. Provide an example to each of your metamorphic relations. Your defined metamorphic relations shall not contain redundant metamorphic relations.
