Question 1

Quantitative data are data in graphical form like figures percentages etc using figures the analyst analyzes data and assumes that the calculations can produce an accurate conclusion which can be applied to any wider community. In another hand qualitative analysis examines individual encounters extensively with the goal of defining and interpreting meaning through language narration or visual evidence by creating themes specifically for that group of participants (Kaushik and Mathur, 2014). Qualitative analysis provides knowledge only about the individual cases examined, although theories are often more general assumptions. Quantitative techniques may be used to confirm which of those assumptions is valid.

  • The below options are derived from the given question

 The type of information mentioned above is variable and the change in the new project of the rail road is the explicit data. As per the measurement scale, it can be see that there are two levels of variable here – which are Yes/ Noand has no specific ranking or order. Hence the measurement scale is nominal.

  • The graphical presentation mentioned below specifieswhether the general support is in favor oris againstthe increase in the tax development for commencing the new project of rail road. The best presentation for such categories is reflected through a bar chart hence we have used it here.

Looking at chart above, it can be seen that maximum amount of votes that are reflecting are not in favor of the law which means that lesspeople are there who are in support of  paying thedevelopment tax which is required to start the new project of the rail road.

Question 2

To describe how much time is spent in a weekly meeting data of 25 observations will be used.

  • Mention below is the summary of total time spent by 25 CEO in a meeting weekly, time calculated is in hours:

  • For preparing the data of frequency distribution along with frequency percentage a two hours class width is used.

Highest value = 23, Lowest value = 12,

  • Mentioned below is the diagram used for calculating time spent by 25 CEOs in weekly meetings. The time is calculated in hours. As per the graphical presentation mention below,it can be seen that mostly the value is falling towards the left side .This shows that the data is tilted negatively.

Question 3

The question in the research that we are going through has multiple methods to collect the data and similarlyfor sampling also there are different methods which can be used. Let us see in the research which is the most suited method for sampling and collection.

  1. Investigate the voting purpose of the Australian voters in the forthcoming election:

Data collection: Since, many people will be involved the questionnaires method will be appropriate to collect the data as to a certain extent in the sample of large size close ended answers are used.

Definition of Random Sampling:  Method in which a sample is taken randomly to draw a conclusion without being bias towards anything is Random Sampling method.

Significance:  Any research in which large amount of people or data needs to be investigated, Random sampling is the best method to be used as it’s not possible to investigate the entire lot for drawing a conclusion. Just like in this case it’s not possible to get the views of the entire population of Australia.  

Sampling:The random sampling method can be considered for this research, as it would not be possible to travelall of America enquiring each citizen regarding theirchoice. For drawing the concluding we can randomly pick any American citizenand question them.

 

  1. Find out reasons for the top 4 banks who are not giving its borrowers the complete interest cuts that the Australian reserve bank has introduced :

Data collection:To collectthis data we can use the interview method, where banking and financial expert can be interview to find out the likelyreasons.

Definition of Convenience sampling: A method in which a sample is taken from people or group who are related to the research and can be approached easily is Convenience sampling method. The only criteria in it are that people should be available and agree to participate. 

Significance: In this scenario since the information that has to be gathered is related to banks and only people from banks can provide the inside information, Convenience sampling is the best method that can be used to gather the information as according to this method only those people who are related to the research, have information about it and are easily available to be investigated for drawing conclusion.  

Sampling:Convenience sampling is another way to carry out this research. For this objectiveany expert in this field who is easy to approach can be interviewed to find out about the sentiments of the banks (Palinkas,et. al., 2015).

  1. Comprehend the demographic portfolio of Melbourne community which existat city council of Hume:

Data collection:For understand this; we can do a survey in that area and look for the required details from people residing over there.

Definition of stratified sampling:It is a method in which small groups are made out of the entire population to do the sampling. People having common characteristics are chosen to form a group and from this group samples are taken randomly.  

Significance:In this scenario specific information is required from people within the community and to gather such information stratified sampling is best suited as according to this method groups are made of only those people who are within the specified community and share common interest once the group is formed then from within that group samples are take randomly to get to a conclusion.  

Sampling: For this research, Stratified sampling method should be used,thatincludespeoplewho have similar characteristics to be gathered into subgroups,so that it becomes easy to know their demographic portfolio.

  1. Take adults opinionto find out whether use of marijuana in Australiashould be legalized.

Data collection:Focus Group method can be used in this, as views can be taken from the adults on legalizing the use of marijuana in Australia. As the method involves surveying, interviewingand observing the focusedgroup,hence the adult group can be survey, interview and observe here.

Sampling:In this research random sampling method can be implemented,which means taking opinionsof randomadults.

  1. Evaluatethe standardchildren’sage of  Melbourne city :

Data Collection:Records and Documents are what could be used to find out the standard age of the children. These records and documents containreports of the census or something similar which can help in finding the standard age of the children.

Sampling:We can use the Stratified sampling method,according to which children’s date is separated from entire data that contains the completeinformation. That’s the reason Stratified sampling method should be used.

Question 4

  • To find out whether watching television is the cause of increase in weight or not we can use the Scatterplot diagram in which we can layout the connection between spending time in front of the Television and becoming Overweight. In the overweight data negative number will be reflected for any underweight child.

  • To calculate correlation coefficient amongst the variables we can use the toolpakof data analysis in excel.

 

 

Definition of Correlation coefficient:It is a statistical measureof strength to find out the relationship between relative activities of two variables. The range of the value falls between -1.0 and 1.0. Any number that is calculated and is more than 1.0 or less than -1.0 then the correlation is measured incorrectly. The value comes up as -1.0 then it reflects a negative correlation and if the value come up as 1.0 then it reflects a positive correlation. If the value is 0.0 then it reflect that there is no linear relationship amongst the movement of both the variables. 

Correlation coefficient value consist of 0.89119 which means that there is a positive and strong relationship between Overweight (Kg) and television (hours). It meansthat as the hours of watching Television increase, there will be an increase in overweight andvice versa reflecting the relationship amongst the linear changes.

  1. Regression output in excel is mentioned below:

The likely regression equation:

Overweight =-11.069 + 0.434*Television

Explanation:

Intercept: Average Overweight would be expected to go down by (average) 11.0691 if hours of television are zero.

Slope:The overweight will increase by (average) 0.434 Kg if one unit is increased in Television(hours) 

  • 0.7942 is the coefficient value of determination, whichmeans the variation of 79.42% inoverweight isdescribed by the total hours spent in front of the televisionand hence this is reasonablya model that fits strong.
  • As per the outcome of the summary mentioned above, 7.083 is the value of T and 0.000 is the value of P. Since the value of P is not more than 0.05, Variable is significant statistically and hence has a relationship between overweight and television.
  • As per the outcome of the summary mentioned above, Standard error value consists of 1.5894. The value of P in the F-stats consists of 0.000. Asthe value of P is not more than 0.05 of significant level, the complete model is significant statistically;also the R-square value is used to determine the model’s fitness. Because 0.7942 is the value which means that this model is a good fit.

The library management system helps libraries keep a list of documents, credits, investments and member files, sometimes for several physical locations. This type of software can be used by educational libraries and public or private libraries. Excel does not have the ability to manage data for affiliate database programs, such as SQL Server and Microsoft Access. In Excel, data is organized using rows and columns on a sheet of paper. The function of the table makes it easy to insert, organize and move data. There are four parameters for measuring data: name, ordinal, division and measurement. They are methods for dividing different types of data.

IN this above scenario we use a library data in a excel software that make help to easy understand and also easy to understand the visualization. We have use different worksheet in a single excel file. Excel is one of the most widely used desktop applications ever made and everyone is familiar with computers and keyboards. However, most of us do not know what Excel can do, much of its limitations are brought about by the development of its latest capabilities, flexibility and complexity. The fact is that Excel can simplify your work in a number of ways, without counting the number and average in a standard spreadsheet.

Excel business data analysis shows how to solve real-life business problems using your Excel data analysis capabilities. Order keys directly for business users, as opposed to focusing on individual components and functions of Excel. Many chapters begin with a business problem or question and then show you how to create a redesigned spreadsheet that solves common data analysis problems.

Designed especially for advanced Excel users, the workbook does not waste a lot of time on the basics.  

Basically, in this project we use four spreadsheets in a excel for different visualization purpose. In this project we perform different operation like merge data, add data, create data, update, delete data and highlight data.

Basic operation followed in excel files: –

Merge data: it also called Data Consolidation. The data link allows you to collect data from separate pages to form one main page. In other words, the data integration section takes notes from a series of papers or workbooks and combines them into one page that you can easily improve.

Start concatenating tables.

Step 1: Choose a large table.

Step 2: Select the new table.

Step 3: Select the appropriate column.

Step 4: Choose a column that you can upgrade to a large table.

Step 5: Select the column you want to add to the main table.

Step 6: Select advanced connection options.

Data deletion:- Select the cells you want to delete, then press the Dele button. Note that deleting cells in this way erases the data, but not doing it. If you want to remove the shape, use “Delete All” from the clean-up list on the main belt. Another easy way to extract data from a sheet is to delete all columns or rows. We can also delete lines using the tape command. Go to Home tab Tap the Delete key and select Delete line.

Data update:-

Just refresh the selected data ALT + F5, or in the Data tab, in the Queries and Connections tab, click the arrow under the Refresh heading, then click Refresh.

To refresh all data in the CTRL + ALT + F5 workbook, or in the Data tab, in the Query and Connections tab, click Refresh All.

To control how the connection is refreshed and when, in the Data tab, tap the arrow under Total Refresh, and then click on Connection Properties.

In the dialog box, in the Test Management section, select the option you want to use in the tab.

Create attribute:- Create new columns in a excel spreadsheet in called new attribute.

Remove Duplicate Rows:- If you have ever had to combine multiple spreadsheets into one, you will know how difficult it is to remove copied records. Excel can erase them for you, although they should be used with caution, because they erase your data. Excel automatically selects multiple cells. A window appears with a list of columns for verified boxes in front of all names. If you leave three selected columns, Excel will scan copies in all cells This means that all three cells must be the same as all three cells in one row to be considered as copies. That way, if you can run it now, you won’t get twins. You do not have to decide which lines to stay or which lines to go. Excel moves from top to bottom in sequence, marking the first event and deleting any subsequent rows. Excel does not delete complete lines from a spreadsheet when removing twins. This will clear the queue cells from the selected data. Data outside of your site is unaffected. (Therefore, if you have information on E1-E6 cells, they will not be affected by deleting the simulated processes from A1-C6 cells.) If you select cells and when you click Delete Copies, a window will select Continue with this option, which will remove the copied cells from your selection and data. It may leave the room empty.

Working of the spreadsheet:-

As per given scenario we follow the library management with some attributes like book id, author name, book name, rating, language and genres. There is 4 different sheet version present which have different operation.

V1.0 Spreadsheet:-in this given scenario we add ten different book data in spreadsheet we add the ID, author name rating book title and genre of the ten different book data in a V1.0 as show below table.

V1.1  in this Spreadsheet we update last two data and add new five books data in last five Rows as shown below:-

V1.2 in this Spreadsheet we two new attributes named as page number or language and highlighted with red colour as shown below:-

V1.3 in this spreadsheet we drop or remove one of attribute name page number in each row and add five more data in spreadsheet and highlighted with green colour as shown below:-

Question 1

In response to the question first the term law and justice should be disclosed, so that we can get what exactly it termed as and illustrate the role in the management of the societal affairs and law and order in the county and the nation. So hereby the first term that is law has been described in the following-

Law is the rules and regulation that has been amend by the bodies of authority and council that have the power to implied the certain rules that has been beneficial for the smooth functioning, controlling the crimes and the enhancing the standard of living by applying certain law that affect the society living functioning. The law and order are necessary for the nation, as it describe the ethicality and the way of living in the democratic nation.  There is certain law that has been embed by the government for trade practices, marriage law, criminal laws for taking an action against any crimes. The international law and common law that has been applicable in mere country especially English law. Hence, these laws that has been followed by the citizen, artificial person, commercial person and ordinary person within the county.

On the other hand, justice is the term that described to get justice in the presence of certain law and rights that has been delivered by the justice of lord and courts to the person that has been suspected to be victim of certain incident. A partnership conflict and the breach of agreement and contract has been handled under the justice courts. That redress all the affair related to breach and other act that void in the eyes of law.  The justice is framed with certain adjectives that is fairness, honesty decision, equality and consideration etc.

Hence, it is clear that the both term law and justice are different as law is depend upon the justice. The justice can be changes but the law is static and adjust as per the justice required. The law will be change through mere resolution and decision. Thus, these are the certain difference that has been concluded (Chiongson, et al., 2012).

Question 2

Issue

The issue that has been found in the given case as the advertisement that has been offered by the Andres for selling of the boat for $9000. As Pedro is the boat lover, so he sends the voice message to acceptance to buy the boat for $7000 but later its price has been settling for $8000 as asked by Andres on voice message. But later on, the same another buyer approached and asked for boat for $9000. So, Andrew immediately agreed and sell the boat to him. So, the issue arises whether Pedro has the to sue a drew for breaching of the contract that has been mend on the voice message.

Rules 

 As per the contract law the offering and agreement that has been contracted in between two people should include confirmed consent or signature for the substance for what they come together to have contract. The validity will be proven in the eyes of the law if the contract is filled with certain points that is agreement in between the person that will be preferably in written form. The certain consideration will be agreed by the parties that can be in cash form or other consideration. The consent should be delivered by the both parties that is free from fraud, threaten. The party’s member has the capacity to bind in the contractual liability. Otherwise this contract will be void in the contract law. Formalities related to the contract legality and signature should be headed on the paper or written document that has been considered as the proof for future conflict and supporting breaching norms.

Application 

 As per the case the rules that has been state above for validation of the contract and liability to sue for breaching the contract has not been amend yet. The contract has been fully valid till the consent has been delivered and written agreement has been handover to both the parties. As per the Australia contract law Andres and Pedro has been in process of having contract but the contract is not been mend in these periods. The communication is being disclosed only the price negotiation not the declaration of contract of selling boat to Pedro (Yin, et al., 2020).

Conclusion 

As per the above discussion it is conclude that the applicability of the valid contract is not liable in case of Andres and Pedro. So, Pedro is not liable to sue the case of breach against Andres for selling the boat to another buyer.

Question 3

Issue 

 In the following case the Keaton and lee are the children of Samuel. As lee knows that Keaton is her father favourite child, so she is sure her father has been transferred all inheritance to Keaton, and also beach palm house. She wants that house under her consideration. As she knows that her father has less time to live as he is 90-year-old and suffering from mental disorder. So, she attempts to give pressure to signed the paper of transfer of house to her by Samuel. She uses pressure and threat for four-year lee convinced her father to signed the transfer paper. So, the issue arise in the following situation is how Samuel will stop the transfer of paper to Lee in that mental disorder condition.

Rules 

 In the following case the rule of contract law as per the Australia term has been applied. The general term that has been performed for having valid contract has been applicable in this case. As Samuel is suffering from mental illness (Eldridge, 2019). That mean he is not capable of entering within the contract. The general rule that shows that incapability of the person are as follows-

  • Mental disorder
  • Bankrupts
  • Intoxication
  • Minors
  • Pressure and threat 

If out of these condition and situation has been fit in the contract case the contract become void and does not enforced under the contract law. Hence, it has been embedding by the court that capability is mended while having a contract because if it is not there then it considered to be fraud and threaten activity that is illegal in the eyes of the law. The person that involve in such thing will get penalised for this.

Application 

In this case the Samuel can stop the transfer of the beach house to Lee though proofing the mental illness and unsound condition of him at the time of signing the contract. If the contract has been appeared to be in the condition of incapable mind and within the pressure and threat this is considered to be unlawful in the eyes of the contract law. It also clears the wrong intention of the second party that has been preparing the contract without having mutual consent, and using tactics of pressure and threat to signed the contract. So, Samuel can proof that in the court while appealing for the acceptance of the signed document. Thus, through that the proceeding order and transfer order of beach house will be stop.

Conclusion 

 The conclusion that has been indicated in the following case is that capability is essential element while having a contract in between two parties. As if it is missing in the contract that means it is not fully valid contract that signed between two parties, it includes certain threat and pressure (Weber,2013).

Question 4

    1. Parole evidence rule is the rule that has been amended by the common law that state that what evidence or doctrine does the parties will present while mending or redressing the cases based on the disputes and the conflicts. It is applied at the time to resolve the issue related to the contract doctrine in between the parties. Under that the term and condition of the contract has been specified to each party and any manipulation in the contract will be detected by both the parties. The parties can enter their norms and condition before entering into the contract and at the time of conflict and dispute the document has been work out. The Parole evidence rule has been amending to prevent the disorientation and conflict between the parties. The reasoning of court based on the parole evidence rule will be based on legality and proofs based on the contract legality and evidence (Iyer, 2016).
  • Exceptions to the parole evidence rule.
  • The Contract will be the result of the mistake; both parties is not intended to make the contract.
  • The evidence of the fraud and the misstatement, error in the contract existence. This will be the exception in the parole evidence rule.
  • The contract had not taken any consideration for the agreement and there is no rules and regulation attached to the consideration.
  • All the parties which are related to the contract must be clearly identified and existed. The name and detail should be clearly disguise in the document and they should be present whenever required. 
  • All the terms and condition should be int the written from of agreement. As it will be formed as the evidence and proof for future disputes and conflict.
  • The modification of the contract for both the parties has not been considered. 
  • The exception based on the payroll rule has been applied to this rule as if the separate contract has been made for payroll purpose. Then the declaration and evidence should be provisioned and mend (Iyer, 2016).

Question 5

Meaning of the frustration contract

The meaning of the frustration contract will be contract that has been subsequent in formation and without the fault of either of the parties. The contract has been incapable to performed due to the unforeseen event that has been radically different from the contemplation of the contracted parties. The legality that has been obligated in the contract has been discharged as the occurrence of unforeseen event has been resultant in the dissolution of the contract in between the parties (Pawlowski, and Brown, 2018)

There is certain test that has been applied in the following condition when the contract is termed as frustration contract.

  • Unforeseen event is the test that has been proved that the contract has been under the frustration that will resulted in dissolution of the contract. The unforeseen event can be sudden death, mental disorder, natural calamities etc.
  • The intention of the parties to indulge in fraud and misrepresentation will cancel the contract and resulted in the frustration.
  • The bargaining and negotiation that does not reach any conclusion and parties has got frustrated out will result in the bad bargaining and cancelling of the contract.

In the given case the contract has been contemplated in the frustration contract due to uncontrollable event and certain fault that does not ignore, as in the change in the lease. So, all the event has been regulating in the contractual flow and the outcome will determine as the termination of the contract (Abdullah, 2020).

Introduction

For managers of business organisations, contact is important so that the organisational roles and obligations can work properly. The outbreak of the new coronaviral disease COVID-19 was declared to be an international public health emergency by the World Health Organisation (WHO). WHO has reported that COVID-19 is extremely risky to spread to other nations worldwide. WHO assessed in March 2020 that the pandemic could be identified as COVID-19. But the whole people are stressed at this time of crisis. The WHO Department of Mental Health and Consumer Usage has established the factors in this paper as a set of message that can be used for interactions in various target populations to promote mental and psychosocial wellness during the outbreak.

This report will tell about the effect of corona virus pandemic on the mental health of employs and the student. 

Impact on Mental Health of Employees and Students

Feeling under pressure for students and many of employees is a likely experience. In the current situation, it’s very natural to feel this way. Stress and emotions are not mirrored in persons inability to do job or their weakness. It’s just as necessary to control psychosocial and mental wellbeing during this point as to control physical health (Fisher, et., al. 2020). 

At this time take care of yourself. Individual should try to use effective coping mechanisms such as maintaining proper rest to rest at work or during shifts. They should eat enough nutritious food, engage in physical activities and keep in touch with friends and family. Individuals must stop using unhelpful coping measures such as tobacco smoking , alcohol use, etc (Fisher, et., al. 2020). This can exacerbate physical and mental health in the long term. The COVID-19 outbreak is unique and unprecedented for many staff and students , particularly if they did not react in a similar way. 

Unfortunately, some health workers can be discouraged by their families or communities because of stigma or fear (Fisher, et., al. 2020). This can make a situation even more complicated already. Staying close to family is one way of maintaining communication with your loved ones, even by digital methods. Turn your friends, boss or other trusted people to social help –friends can experience you in the same way. Using meaningful ways of engaging with people with intellectual, cognitive and psycho-social impairments. Include contact forms that do not rely on written information alone, wherever possible (Fisher, et., al. 2020).

Mental health & COVID-19

Fear, concern, and stress are natural responses to actual or perceived threats and, often, human face confusion or unknown factors. It is therefore natural and understandable that in the sense of the COVID-19 pandemic people are feeling fear (Yao, et., al. 2020). 

In addition to the fear of pandemics such as COVID-19, the main improvements in everyday lives are minimal, as movements help to control the spread of the virus. In view of new conditions such as homework, temporary unemployment, children’s home education and lack of physical interaction with other members of our families , colleagues, and associates, our minds as well as our physical health must be taken into consideration (Yao, et., al. 2020).

Such closures are a lack of access to services, typically accessible through schools, for children or adolescents with mental health needs. 83% indicated that the pandemic had worsened their situation in a survey carried out by Young Minds, an organisation which included 2111 participants under the age of 25 who have a history of mental illness in the UK. 26% said that they could not obtain help to mental health; peer groups and face-to – face programmes were cancelled and mobile or online help for a number of young people can prove difficult (Rajkumar, et., al. 2020).

Not much is known about the long-term mental health effect on children and staff of large-scale disease outbreaks. While some research is being conducted on the psychological impact of extreme ARS on both patients and healthcare staff, the impact on average people are not much understood (Rajkumar, et., al. 2020). Evidence in children and teenagers in particular is scarce. “This is a major research void,” Au said. COVID-19 is much larger than SARS and other global epidemics. In the course of the pandemic, it is important to promote the deprivation of children and adolescents and issues related to child unemployment or household income loss. It is also important to track the psychological status of young people in the longer term and research the impact of extended school closures and strict social distance-reducing interventions and the pandemic on children and adolescents (Chen, et., al. 2020).

Staff and Students: how to cope with job tension and improve resilience throughout the pandemic COVID-19 

The COVID-19 pandemic undoubtedly changed the way the person work, whether they go out to work or are working or from home (Carmassi, et., al. 2020). This new condition and other intense emotions can lead to extreme fear and anxiety and tension at work. How students and staff deal with these feelings and pressures will have an effect on well-being, workplaces and the society they care about. During this pandemic, understanding the stress, taking measures to create resilience and managing work stress and knowing where to go if support is required is essential (Carmassi, et., al. 2020).

How universities can assist students with Covid-19 mental health crisis 

It is the recognition of risk students that is the most significant starting point. There are some factors that can help us know what these students are, but when operating remotely, these factors need to be adapted (Moreno, et., al. 2020). 

For instance, can you say who did not register for online lectures, so who stopped participating? Who is worried about the lack of time limits or has applied for mitigation? If you do not have a system of learning management, I would recommend that academics create their own system that track this information and that the university should find a way to track how students attend online courses (Moreno, et., al. 2020). 

It’s important to know which students you’ve spoken about your mental health. Often recognise caregivers or students who are alien to their families or who cannot return home due to travel problems (Ratten, et., al. 2020).

Finally, allow students and teachers to talk to someone after coping with a dangerous student for debriefing. Make sure staff and students know how to contact a reassuring chat or email in the student service departments of the university after having approached the students (Ratten, et., al. 2020). 

In addition, staff and educators can hold daily meetings in order to provide emotional support. Remember it’s going to be impossible to look after someone else if you don’t care after yourself. Both of us are in an unusual and strange time, so it’s all right to not always get the right answer and ask for help from colleagues (Ratten, et., al. 2020).

Recommendations for Staff and Students

Share and take official advice from reliable sources from

  • England Public Health 
  • Scottish health and safety 
  • The Wales Public Health 
  • Encourage staff not to exchange details on the virus unnecessarily. There is a lot of speculation that should be spread in the world only papers from credible sources. 

Talk to yourself and your loved ones

  • You should retain frequent everyday contact, probably with your staff-both the general public and managers and supervisors. 
  • Try to be honest and begin by understanding the vulnerability and tension that it entails. Be ready to say that you don’t know and that you’re back with answers to strangers. 
  • Whether people are at work or at home, this is significant. Make sure that you interact with line managers in accordance with daily contact with all workers.

Everyone’s mental wellbeing-remember the overall effect 

We also have a mental wellbeing that can influence how we feel about ourselves and the world we live in, whatever the circumstances. Good work is great for our mental wellbeing and the ability to benefit from work wherever we can is significant. 

Some individuals are at higher risk of mental illness. Consider how the response impact the safety of workers (sex, age , disability , ethnicity, sexual orientation) or any other challenges (e.g. how Asian or Italian people may face discriminatory behaviour). Try to work, first and foremost in order to maintain the staff’s physical and psychological wellbeing.

Notice that vulnerability has multiple faces 

There is a lot of talk in connexion with coronavirus of physical vulnerabilities. However, senior managers often feel insecure in rare situations to show leadership. Enable each other to remain motivated and remind each other of how much work they do. 

For people with pre-existing or previous mental health issues, this may be especially difficult. Staying at home can lead people who have had depression or trauma to memories of bad times. Know your people and do a bit more about those who are more insecure when you see their actions changing. 

This may contribute to people disclosing mental health issues they have not addressed before in the workplace. Provide respect and compassion for new disclosures and make adaptations.

Encourage access to help 

If you do, make sure that these are well informed and find out that relevant services related to your outbreak are available via your work place. 

Make sure people know where they are going and who they are talking with internally. If you have advocates, supporters or first aid workers in mental health, make sure they have the latest information, and if you change work practises, this network of help for mental health continues if possible. 

Encourage the growth and self-care of people 

Encourage the people to prepare how they will handle themselves or quarantine. Consult our regularly updated guidance and urge individuals to speak to line managers on their plans. If people are at home, they remain socially disconnected or self-segregated by symptoms.

Introduction

With the continues competition and changing customer needs and demands, it is becoming very important to change as per the market needs ,in order to survive in tough competition and increase growth over time.

With increase in customer base and satisfaction the company needs to improve its technology that can help in managing the records and documents in a defective manner so that the company can be able to formulate strategies as per their needs and demands. In this task the central point of discussion would be on understanding the requirement of Atlas which is an insurance providing companies in Australia who is looking forward to upgrade its database management system to Oracle is the current system is not able to when be the needs and requirements of high data records and customer details.

In this task the study is going to provide in-depth analysis on different documents and process that is going to be undertaken by at least company in order to upgrade their database management system to Oracle and also provide a discussion on different steps that needs to be taken while going for a database management upgradation system.

Literature review

In order to have a proper project monitoring and evaluation criteria for the project of database management system in atlas company and schedule management plan and resource requirement plan has been developed that can help the management in understanding the importance of schedule and can also help in managing them all the timelines with better efficiency and utilization.

The below provided schedule management plan helps in understanding the different schedule provided in the form of the game chat and critical path analysis while managing different activities during the project.

Stakeholders are the people who directly or indirectly have control over the decision making of a project hence it becomes very important to have a clear understanding and management procedure in order to manage their needs and demands.With the help of stakeholder management plan analysis, It would be it would be easy for the organisation to manage different stakeholders a different level of the organisation.

Communication plan is a document that helps in analysing all the needs of the claimants in order to communicate the need for change in the organisation. It includes kick-off meetings that is a formal meeting which involves defining the goals and objectives of the project to all the stakeholders in order to provide them better understanding about the project.

Change management is a process that involves change in any existing process or task of an organisation in order to achieve better accuracy and efficiency.

Stakeholder Analysis

Stakeholders are the people who directly or indirectly have control over the decision making of a project hence it becomes very important to have a clear understanding and management procedure in order to manage their needs and demands.

With the help of stakeholder management plan analysis, It would be it would be easy for the organisation to manage different stakeholders a different level of the organisation.The stakeholder management plan analysis is discuss this below.

Service managers High High Service team will acquire huge positive impact from the development of this software as it will operations will be much more automatic and systematic in nature
Customers High Low Owing to the rise in the number of customers (and anticipated potential growth) it was often difficult to monitor the fleet or cars for loans and to respond to customer requests if one is eligible to make a reservation. With consumers continuing to seek multiple payment mechanisms such as e-mail, PayPal etc., the app can support.
Workers Medium High Continuous motivation and work related guidelines needs to be provided.
Suppliers Medium Medium Competitive pricing strategies need to be adopted to ensure timely delivery of the raw material.
Employees of Atlas High Medium Any resistance by the employees can cause high damage to the plan. In order to avoid this, it is important to communicate the need of change.

Communication Plan

Communication plan is a document that helps in analysing all the needs of the claimants in order to communicate the need for change in the organisation. It includes kick-off meetings that is a formal meeting which involves defining the goals and objectives of the project to all the stakeholders in order to provide them better understanding about the project.

Project charter

Project charter is a formal documentation that helps in knowing all the requirements of a project which involves the cost,Scope analysis,problem and overall cost of the project.

Work Breakdown structure

Work breakdown structure is a graphical representation of all the tasks and activities that are going to be incurred and carried in a project to complete the project on time with higher efficiency and effectiveness.

With the help of work breakdown structure it becomes easy to understand different activities that are going to be a part of the project and the differentiation becomes easy on the basis of activity and department.

Gantt chart

Gantt chart Is a visualisation that helps in understanding the breakdown of different activities over different time period allotted to a project.

Cost management plan

Cost and finance are one of the most important aspects for the success of an organisation as the organisation wants to run out of cash while operating their operations in the market. It is very important for an organisation to estimate all types of cost that might incur during the project like fixed cost, tangible cost etc.

In order to have a control over the cost we have developed different types of financial documents like payback period analysis,Cost benefit analysis and other financial documents.

Year Annual cash flows  ($) Cost of capital @10% DCF ($)
0 -12000 1 -12000
1 5200 0.909 4727
2 5800 0.826 4791
3 6400 0.751 4806

Introduction

For managers of business organisations, contact is important so that the organisational roles and obligations can work properly. The outbreak of the new coronaviral disease COVID-19 was declared to be an international public health emergency by the World Health Organisation (WHO). WHO has reported that COVID-19 is extremely risky to spread to other nations worldwide. WHO assessed in March 2020 that the pandemic could be identified as COVID-19. But the whole people are stressed at this time of crisis. The WHO Department of Mental Health and Consumer Usage has established the factors in this paper as a set of message that can be used for interactions in various target populations to promote mental and psychosocial wellness during the outbreak.

This report will tell about the effect of corona virus pandemic on the mental health of employs and the student.

According to the Jornal written by Fisher, et., al. 2020 the feeling under pressure for students and many of employees is a likely experience. In the current situation, it’s very natural to feel this way. Stress and emotions are not mirrored in persons inability to do job or their weakness. It’s just as necessary to control psychosocial and mental wellbeing during this point as to control physical health (Fisher, et., al. 2020). 

At this time take care of yourself. Individual should try to use effective coping mechanisms such as maintaining proper rest to rest at work or during shifts. They should eat enough nutritious food, engage in physical activities and keep in touch with friends and family. Individuals must stop using unhelpful coping measures such as tobacco smoking , alcohol use, etc (Fisher, et., al. 2020). This can exacerbate physical and mental health in the long term. The COVID-19 outbreak is unique and unprecedented for many staff and students , particularly if they did not react in a similar way. 

Unfortunately, some health workers can be discouraged by their families or communities because of stigma or fear (Fisher, et., al. 2020). This can make a situation even more complicated already. Staying close to family is one way of maintaining communication with your loved ones, even by digital methods. Turn your friends, boss or other trusted people to social help –friends can experience you in the same way. Using meaningful ways of engaging with people with intellectual, cognitive and psycho-social impairments. Include contact forms that do not rely on written information alone, wherever possible (Fisher, et., al. 2020).

Journal 2

Yao, H., Chen, J. H., & Xu, Y. F. (2020). Patients with mental health disorders in the COVID-19 epidemic. The Lancet Psychiatry7(4), e21.

According to this Journal; fear, concern, and stress are natural responses to actual or perceived threats and, often, human face confusion or unknown factors. It is therefore natural and understandable that in the sense of the COVID-19 pandemic people are feeling fear (Yao, et., al. 2020). 

In addition to the fear of pandemics such as COVID-19, the main improvements in everyday lives are minimal, as movements help to control the spread of the virus. In view of new conditions such as homework, temporary unemployment, children’s home education and lack of physical interaction with other members of our families , colleagues, and associates, our minds as well as our physical health must be taken into consideration (Yao, et., al. 2020).

Such closures are a lack of access to services, typically accessible through schools, for children or adolescents with mental health needs. 83% indicated that the pandemic had worsened their situation in a survey carried out by Young Minds, an organisation which included 2111 participants under the age of 25 who have a history of mental illness in the UK. 26% said that they could not obtain help to mental health; peer groups and face-to – face programmes were cancelled and mobile or online help for a number of young people can prove difficult (Rajkumar, et., al. 2020).

Not much is known about the long-term mental health effect on children and staff of large-scale disease outbreaks. While some research is being conducted on the psychological impact of extreme ARS on both patients and healthcare staff, the impact on average people are not much understood (Rajkumar, et., al. 2020). Evidence in children and teenagers in particular is scarce. “This is a major research void,” Au said. COVID-19 is much larger than SARS and other global epidemics. In the course of the pandemic, it is important to promote the deprivation of children and adolescents and issues related to child unemployment or household income loss. It is also important to track the psychological status of young people in the longer term and research the impact of extended school closures and strict social distance-reducing interventions and the pandemic on children and adolescents (Chen, et., al. 2020).

This journal is based on how Staff and Students cope with job tension and improve resilience throughout the pandemic COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic undoubtedly changed the way the person work, whether they go out to work or are working or from home (Carmassi, et., al. 2020). This new condition and other intense emotions can lead to extreme fear and anxiety and tension at work. How students and staff deal with these feelings and pressures will have an effect on well-being, workplaces and the society they care about. During this pandemic, understanding the stress, taking measures to create resilience and managing work stress and knowing where to go if support is required is essential (Carmassi, et., al. 2020).

This journal explains the way universities can assist students with Covid-19 mental health crisis. It is the recognition of risk students that is the most significant starting point. There are some factors that can help us know what these students are, but when operating remotely, these factors need to be adapted (Moreno, et., al. 2020). 

For instance, can you say who did not register for online lectures, so who stopped participating? Who is worried about the lack of time limits or has applied for mitigation? If you do not have a system of learning management, I would recommend that academics create their own system that track this information and that the university should find a way to track how students attend online courses (Moreno, et., al. 2020). 

It’s important to know which students you’ve spoken about your mental health. Often recognise caregivers or students who are alien to their families or who cannot return home due to travel problems (Moreno, et., al. 2020).

Finally, allow students and teachers to talk to someone after coping with a dangerous student for debriefing. Make sure staff and students know how to contact a reassuring chat or email in the student service departments of the university after having approached the students (Moreno, et., al. 2020). 

In addition, staff and educators can hold daily meetings in order to provide emotional support. Remember it’s going to be impossible to look after someone else if you don’t care after yourself. Both of us are in an unusual and strange time, so it’s all right to not always get the right answer and ask for help from colleagues (Moreno, et., al. 2020).

Recommendations for Staff and Students

Share and take official advice from reliable sources from

  • England Public Health 
  • Scottish health and safety 
  • The Wales Public Health 
  • Encourage staff not to exchange details on the virus unnecessarily. There is a lot of speculation that should be spread in the world only papers from credible sources. 

Talk to yourself and your loved ones

  • You should retain frequent everyday contact, probably with your staff-both the general public and managers and supervisors. 
  • Try to be honest and begin by understanding the vulnerability and tension that it entails. Be ready to say that you don’t know and that you’re back with answers to strangers. 
  • Whether people are at work or at home, this is significant. Make sure that you interact with line managers in accordance with daily contact with all workers.

Everyone’s mental wellbeing-remember the overall effect 

We also have a mental wellbeing that can influence how we feel about ourselves and the world we live in, whatever the circumstances. Good work is great for our mental wellbeing and the ability to benefit from work wherever we can is significant. 

Some individuals are at higher risk of mental illness. Consider how the response impact the safety of workers (sex, age , disability , ethnicity, sexual orientation) or any other challenges (e.g. how Asian or Italian people may face discriminatory behaviour). Try to work, first and foremost in order to maintain the staff’s physical and psychological wellbeing.

Notice that vulnerability has multiple faces 

There is a lot of talk in connexion with coronavirus of physical vulnerabilities. However, senior managers often feel insecure in rare situations to show leadership. Enable each other to remain motivated and remind each other of how much work they do. 

For people with pre-existing or previous mental health issues, this may be especially difficult. Staying at home can lead people who have had depression or trauma to memories of bad times. Know your people and do a bit more about those who are more insecure when you see their actions changing. 

This may contribute to people disclosing mental health issues they have not addressed before in the workplace. Provide respect and compassion for new disclosures and make adaptations.

Encourage access to help 

If you do, make sure that these are well informed and find out that relevant services related to your outbreak are available via your work place. 

Make sure people know where they are going and who they are talking with internally. If you have advocates, supporters or first aid workers in mental health, make sure they have the latest information, and if you change work practises, this network of help for mental health continues if possible. 

Encourage the growth and self-care of people 

Encourage the people to prepare how they will handle themselves or quarantine. Consult our regularly updated guidance and urge individuals to speak to line managers on their plans. If people are at home, they remain socially disconnected or self-segregated by symptoms.

Introduction

The organisation’s efficient functioning and operation is largely decided by management. Many leadership ideas arise from leadership models adopted by various individuals or organisations. The leadership style dictated by the positions and strategies of the company, and the outcomes that the management style aims to achieve. The most effective aspect of leadership within an organisation is how the employees of the leaders of the organisation work and interact with the employee. This specific paper will discuss and explain Mrs Helen’s case study. It is shown that she is a highly successful and productive general health professional. Ms. Helen is elected the leader in the field of public health in different diverse fields. 

If a leader represents a public health organisation, it is critical that he has the capacity to represent the health and well-being of a broader public. The aim of the current research is to address the various leadership dimensions in conjunction with leadership methods, structures and tools. In addition, I will carry out an empirical process of myself to understand the leadership skills in me and to incorporate the requisite improvements and innovations. The paper will endeavour to understand critically the leadership style of Mrs. Helen, and then there will be possible suggestive styles, which the person could take to achieve more productive results.

Part 1

A critical review of the case study presented offers a variety of points that the situation as a whole can be understood. Ms. Helen is 35, meaning she has a great history of experience before this point in her career (Popescu, & Predescu, 2016). She is employed in Warnambool as a general health practitioner. Warnambool is once again a very rural region in the state of Victoria. As a healthcare provider Frau Helen herself has been very effective in her work. She is also focused on what she does and succeeds in her attempts to serve her patients. The lady’s main focus is to provide the rural community with primary care to help the local people recover from their disease (Popescu, & Predescu, 2016). Helen herself had migrated from metropolitan Melbourne into the area and so, because of her determination, she could cope with certain primary difficulties (Popescu, & Predescu, 2016).

Management is an important element of any sector and is also one of the most respectful elements in an organisation. An productive leader needs certain abilities, which makes a difference between a good leader and a poor leader. Leadership is one of the key factors that the sector adheres to and is in high demand as far as public health is concerned. A manager is characterised by such abilities and influences (Hirschmann, 2020).

The main issues of leadership as per the structure are self-directed formation, the formation mechanism, driving creativity, producing outcomes, involving others, in Hirschmann ‘s opinion (2020), the first aspect being that the leader is sensitised to his skills and strengths. The leader’s understanding will help him better carry out his work and thus create faith as far as he can. The case study presented must be taken into account in this regard where Helen has pursued initiatives to improve the lives of people not just young people or children (Hirschmann, 2020). This was because Helen was adamant on the steps she had to take to solve public health problems. She has known her expertise, thanks to which she has taken measures for the well-being of people and communities (Hirschmann, 2020).

In addition, trustworthiness, fairness and dignity constitute another component of leaders. This is also shown by Helen ‘s leadership, where she was ethical and was concerned about people’s well-being rather than emphasising her own expertise. She was therefore highly honest and so the reputation of the people has earned (Lane, 2017). 

The second aspect has to do with other people. This aspect is related to teamwork and cooperation according to Lane, 2017. However, it can be seen accordingly that Helen lacked this ability (Lane, 2017). If a manager wishes to work in public health to improve people’s lives, he must work as a team. In this context, communication is one of the main factors in order for the flow of information to be smooth and knowledge to be communicated mutually, which helps to create this trust (Lane, 2017).

In the hopes of including others in a public health agency, coordination is extremely necessary. Carlin, & Peterman, 2019 have commented that the contact must involve verbal and nonverbal skills so that the leader mostly should express his views and the latter allows the leader to think and establish the link between his fellow members (Carlin, & Peterman, 2019). Furthermore, it is vital that every person associated with the public health sector, which will help to build trust, be given importance and integrity and therefore contribute to the smooth flow of public health works aimed to improve people’s health and living conditions. In addition, it is also critical, as given in the Australian context, that leaders work to achieve their results for their particular organisation (Carlin, & Peterman, 2019).

To that end , it is important to collaborate with both customers and colleagues in order to understand the views of each of the participants. This leadership attribute was hugely prevalent in the nature of Helen in the case study given (Park, & Oh, 2018). She was specific on the priorities and objectives that she wanted to accomplish. However, their communication and collaborative skills were not successful and could be decided by collaborating with a smaller number of stakeholders (Park, & Oh, 2018). She was therefore ineffectual as a leader in this respect. In addition, under the paradigm, creativity driving may also be observed as an significant feature of a leader.

Then a leader must also rely on its members and colleges as the concept of everyone forms in the formulation of an successful innovation plan, as inspired by Songserm, et al., 2020 to discuss innovation. The lack of imagination and innovation in Helen ‘s work with a sufficient number of players is nevertheless obvious (Songserm, et al., 2020). In addition , the case study will demonstrate that it hasn’t done a lot for its clients and colleagues to participate in an efficient communication process. In public health communication, as stated by Lane, 2017, it is one of the main indicators of the organisation’s well-being that essentially represents the execution of the organizations’ goals and aims. However, Helen ‘s leadership capacity is entirely inconsistent (Lane, 2017).

Given its commitment and determination in terms of its health and welfare to improve the lives of people, it was not successful in making good decisions, one of the most significant features of the leadership character. A leading manager must always work actively to solve problems and make decisions, since that leads to a smooth work flow in the company that helps to achieve the goals (Baker, et al., 2018).

Part 2

Based on the self-assessment method, I have assessed myself, showing the prevalence of my leadership abilities, so I have been able to completely comprehend myself, and how effectively I can be a leader. Lovett, & Robertson, 2017 have inspired me, I have seen that the key strengths of my communication are my ability. The skills in communications are an important part of a broader variety of fields (Lovett, & Robertson, 2017). From now on, wherever I am, I am always careful that I offer my knowledge and information well. Furthermore, I always ensure that people with whom I work also express their thoughts and opinions adequately. This will make for a contact mechanism of two kinds and thus successful decision-making in either case (Lovett, & Robertson, 2017).

According to the outcome of the test, I have seen that my problems are fine. This is due to my indulgence in communication and besides speaking; I also emphasise listening ability. In addition, I agree largely with the outcome of the test. This is because I am able to work very easily and calmly in difficult situations. This is also an significant characteristic of a leader ‘s actions. I have been inspired by Chikeleze, & Baehrend, 2017so that by carrying out my test, I have come to realise that certain leadership qualities exist in me (Chikeleze, & Baehrend, 2017). 

In comparison, the outcome reflected a great deal more positive than negative in me. Even if my professional and leadership actions had such negative aspects, this would be a help for me to strengthen such measures towards addressing them and to enhance my business behaviour.

I will concentrate more on incorporating my constructive ethical actions as I work for a public health agency. This will contribute to the achievement of my organisation’s goals (Chikeleze, & Baehrend, 2017). Moreover, I have also seen that achieving the priorities and objectives of the company in which I operate is also a major factor to which I have paid a great deal of attention. I consider my growth to be significant and I give more importance to the progress and development of the company with which I am affiliated to achieve the overall objectives of the organisation. In addition , leaders always have to stress the goals and objectives that his company has. It is also worth noting (Chikeleze, & Baehrend, 2017). 

In addition , the presence of ethics and fairness is another significant aspect of leadership in me. I am really looking forward to the fact that when I work with such people, including customers and colleagues, I respect them and they have equal opportunity to share their opinions and points of view. The leadership style I follow from now on is ethical inclusion and value for people (Chikeleze, & Baehrend, 2017).

Part 3

I found that the strengths of my communication are basically my knowledge. Communication capability is an essentially necessary aspect of a wider spectrum of fields. From this point on, wherever I am, I constantly take care of the fact that I transmit my data and information well (Balogun, & Ajayi, 2018). Besides, I always guarantee, as articulated by Balogun, & Ajayi, 2018, that the people I work with will also profitably share a perspective and a conclusion. The most critical thing to quantify is, while my communication knowledge is in comparative circumstances. I will try to recognise the protection and constructive influence of the partners in the same circumstances. That is why I would be more effective in performing my skills in communication and in coordinating both my speech and skill settings (Balogun, & Ajayi, 2018).

This would allow communication to be two-way and, in any situation, a definitive choice could therefore be made. According to the test results, I saw that my competence is a major problem. Usually because of my liberality in conversation and separate from talking; I also stressed tuning in skills (Liu, & Gumah, 2020). I am still very much in agreement with the findings of the test. This is also because I can work with great ease and composure under challenging circumstances. In addition, the decision making and the resolution of issues are another essential feature of a leader’s behavioural angle. I will apply my problem of understanding skills to moderate the challenges that my colleagues and shoppers face. Furthermore, I should also like to stress that I work in teams (Liu, & Gumah, 2020).

Innovation is one of the main components of a leader’s behaviour and therefore I would make sure that I always involve a team of members in taking important decisions so as to contribute equally to the innovation and uniqueness of decision-making (Liu, & Gumah, 2020). 

Conclusion

Based on the results and discussion of the current research, leadership can be seen to be one of the main factors underlying an organisation’s well-being and efficiency. Communication – the most significant aspect – is the important leadership features. Such essential considerations, such as problem solving, teamwork and cooperation, decision-making, transparency, etc. This often helps a public health agency in question in order to achieve its long-term improvement and thereby to contribute to its survival and thus to its long-term competitiveness.

Aim 

To identify role of Cyber security in banking sector.

Research objective

Research on informational technology plays an important role in security of banks and their sector. It is involving bank accounts to balance in account, secure by informational technology. There is huge number of coding program, password security and softwares applications for computational work security. There is usage of customer for mobile banking, internet banking, booking, digital wallet and ATM. 

Research questions

To identified IT role in organisational innovation and success

To determine Research philosophies for IT projects and bank approaches

To study about IT sector contribute to bank security 

Literature review

IT role in bank organisation on high level to low level like organisation designs, dashboards setup, digital profiles, planning, schemes, advertisement and company messages on customer mobile and emails of services. All services are in digital mode and technological mode for customer facilities. Bank services are used technology in confidential details in secure folders with history charts. Customer details, accounts, money reports, online transaction by mobile applications, internet banking, and software transaction and bank applications are in secure code system. It is not easy to break and assessable for anyone (Martins, et. al.,2014). 

In informational technology and organisational approaches together for customers for fast working is found in digital world. Large number of customers are used mobile banking and banks are used to secure folder and code for application security and customers details. Customer details are insecure with account details with not use by others (Bamrara, et. al., 2013).

Fast and easy to work style by using informational technology by customers are used frequently. It is also facilities and cyber crime increase in world of money transaction. Transaction details are captured by applications, softwares online that are blink on screen of laptop and work as transfer the data base of account. It is dangerous in case of login is not going to logout. There is system for login in bank account in online or software application that can be stopped in three minutes (Biener, et. al.,2015).

Login details are saved in password and account access are not for anyone in bank manager authorities. There are security types of question, finger prints, biometrics, face expressions and password in strong characters (Baikalov, et. al., 2016).

Informational technology has projects with online applications of shopping and banks tie up. Banking sector tie ups specific online shopping market are now in trends, which encourages customers to gain more benefits. Some banks offer cash backs and reward for shopping with their bank cards. Banking tie ups with Digital wallets are also trending. These all tie ups either bank to Digital wallet, Bank to Online market, Bank to Government online service apps like Railway e-tickets have encouraged customers to purchase online safer and economical (He, et. al., 2015). So customers are now relying on online market for shopping, services and many more online marketing. Faith in online marketing is developed in such a way that sometimes customer didn’t read the policies of digital market apps and they faithfully purchase items while using their bank cards.

It sectors in bank security as information alerts on mobile number. There are mobile number details in account of customer in bank but not on display. It is also IT application and reason for security. Pin code for ATM and money transactions are not fully displayed on blank place. ATM pin generates in register mobile and validated only for three minutes are security steps. Cameras and biometrics in bank for security reasons are found in banks (Keisidou, et. al.,2013). Management authority and administrations have security cameras monitors in office. Cyber security is found in networking of computers and internet access in all computers is linked by one. Because it is security check of any type of mislead in bank offices. Biometric and password system for unlock locker rooms.

Account accessible by customer or concern bank branches is also security of digital. All banks have security in account codes and reference numbers that can be detected customer identifications and their account detail with all data bases. Mobile numbers are registered with account details and it can be easily hacks of account if they are displayed. / By the cyber security it is not on fully displayed on account details and account number also in coding. There is branch code, bank code and last digits are account numbers that are in or the alphabetic form to hidden numbers (Karimi, et.al.,2015). 

Research methodology

Research methodology adopted step wise process –

Research data collection 

There are two sources for data collection one is primary and other is secondary.

Primary source of data– Banks and their cyber security reviews by customers and bank staff.

Secondary source of data– Banks and cyber security data and relation cases are available on internet and literatures.

Data interpretation– data is manipulated according to research need. The data is analysis and categorised for important study. It is outcome to importance of cyber security and customer relief for money in bank and technology uses. Type of cyber securities are safe banks and their networks with customers. There is instruction also on display that not share any password and card for anyone. There are no responsibilities of bank. There are also facilities of ATM card and pin is missed by customer that can be blocked account by bank in digital way. It is not in money transaction services and customer money will be safe (Karimi, et.al.,2015).

Data Analysis – Data is collected and divided in classes and folders. It is used group wise analysis of role of technology in banking security. Technology is helpful in security. It is also analysed cyber security is personal security for bank users (Keisidou, et. al.,2013).

Justification

Most of technology is used in bank work like facilities to customer for quick access, technology in mobile for bank transactions, ATM facilities and online transaction by application softwares. There is all work fast by technology called as informational technology. It is generated crime also in money transfer like password stolen and money transfer so data base of bank information come secure (He, et. al., 2015). It is termed as cyber security. It is most commonly used in Bank for digital work of transaction of money by shopping applications, softwares of bank for mobile banking, sms alert and internet banking. It is very vast topic to study because technology not only in progress for banks transactions but also progressive in cyber crime. It is break the security of accounts and money transfers in very small amount and not in noticeable form. It is included in cyber crime (Baikalov, et. al., 2016). It is popular in bank sector due to money directly involved. Many information technology company are work of create security for bank softwares and their management of networking access.

In case of fraud calls for ask pin number of ATM and account details of mobile numbers etc are track by cyber security. It can be in mentioned spam and fraud calls. It is help of customers to prevent thief in bank sectors. 

Ethical view

This Topic is choose randomly it is not concern from any organisation, information technology innovations, and softwares in particular way and not related to any bank case. It is simple and analysis research report for study purposes.

Significance

Significance of IT in bank sectors is in fast technology, bank account accessibility, mobile banking, check account transactions and statement in online copy etc. The bank is secure in network by password, security by cameras and records of customers in computational records (Biener, et. al.,2015).

Limitation

Cyber security is beneficial as well as harmful in bank sectors like software crack by hackers, accounts security code crack and security passwords lick b customers in bank (Martins, et. al.,2014).

Post 2

ACS Code of ethics is the element of ACS constitution. As the member of this constitution I must advance and uphold the effectiveness, dignity and honour of being professional. As a good citizen I must adhere the following society values –

  • Honesty
  • Competence
  • Professionalism
  • Primacy of public interest
  • Professional development
  • Increment in quality life (ACS, 2020).

These are the components of ACS code of ethics. Now, to solve the ethical dilemma that we discussed above such as deontology, utilitarianism, social contract theory and character based ethical theory, I would suggest the IT professionals, surgeons and patients also to do act in accordance with the ACS codes of ethics. To become a good citizen of Australia every individual must adhere the principles or components discussed above. 

In honesty, the surgeon and IT professionals should be honest in terms of representing their knowledge, skills, products and services (ACS, 2020). 

With this ACs value, the surgeon and IT professionals would be able to distinguish between their personal opinions and professional opinions. 

In Competence, the surgeon and IT professional must apply their work diligently and competently for their stakeholders (patients).

With this ACS value, the surgeon and IT professionals will accept their responsibility regarding their professional activity. This will not permit both of them to misrepresent their knowledge and skills (Users, 2020). 

In professionalism, as a professional surgeon and IT professional they must increase the integrity and they should respect their patients.

This ACS value will help in continuous upgrade of knowledge and skills of surgeon and IT professional. This will also tell both that whether their work is affecting their profession and their relationships with others (Teaching, 2020). 

In Primacy of public interest, in this component of ACS code of ethics all the professionals must place public’s interest over their own personal, sectional and business interests. 

This value helps in identifying those individuals who are impacted by the work of surgeon and IT professional. This will help in identifying any type of conflict within the profession and the professional activity. 

In Professional development, the surgeons and professionals have to increase their own professional development and of their staff and colleagues as well.

This ACS value will help surgeon and IT professionals to take a calm, informed, knowledgeable and objective stand on their professional work. This will also help in endeavour o expand knowledge of public and their understanding on ICT.

In Increment in quality life, the surgeon and the IT professionals are responsible for struggling for the quality life which does not affect the others by your work (ACS, 2020). 

With this ACS value the surgeon and It professionals would be able to promote and protect the health and safety of those individuals who are affected by your professional activity. This will be helpful in getting personal satisfaction, control over those affected and competence.

When it comes to become a good citizen every person must adhere these principles of ACS code of ethics. This leads to peace, and good application of the knowledge and learning.

In situation of such dilemma between different values, Primacy of public interest obtains preference over other values. These ACS codes of conduct basically aim at someone as a practitioner individually and these codes of conduct will then be guidelines for the acceptable professional conduct. These guidelines will be applicable to the members of the ACS who are the surgeon and IT professional given in the case study. These codes of conduct will be helpful in dealing with such kind of dilemmas.  The ACS values discussed above will be helpful in resolving the dilemmas (Teaching, 2020).
