This book was released on 2013-09-10 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * Proctors are in the spotlight of being in the forefront of stopping security breaches, unfortunately the monitoring, auditing and training of proctors remains inconsistent. * Identifying and communicating who has authority over security decisions is critical for program success, but is not understood fully by all organizations. These are just two of the important findings of this landmark report by the ATP Security Committee (ATPSC), which presents a multi-faceted study of the issues related to assessment security. The report looks in depth at organizational investments into security protocols; it gathers specific information on the economic impact of security breaches; and, identifies the differential views and focus of various types of assessment organizations including certification/licensure, educational, and vendor organizations. "The testing industry needs to be much more astute, not only about how assessments are secured during development, but how they are secured during delivery and maintenance cycles as well. The need for assessment organizations to understand the impact of a security breach is critical," ATPSC Chair, Nikki Eatchel of Scantron, writes in the summary of the ATP Security Survey Report. Other significant findings revealed in this report are: Organizational investment is steep during the item development phase and then significantly reduces as the assessment moves to delivery and maintenance phases; Security plans have gained attention and development, but there is little follow-through in terms of implementation and auditing; And finally, there is a lack of knowledge and understanding regarding security roles and responsibilities for assessment organizations and vendors. ATPSC Vice Chair, Beth Holst of Holst and Associates writes, "This study is an important first step and lays the foundation for several more years of detailed study around the issues related to assessment security...with ongoing efforts and continued focus by industry professionals, we hope to drastically reduce the 80% of respondents involved in security breaches to a much lower percentage in future surveys". Chapters in this important survey report include General Findings, Demographics, Prevention, Detection, Impact, Mitigation and Litigation and a Summary of overall findings. "The testing industry has much to be grateful for as security for assessments remains a key investment for vendors and assessment organizations. The question remains, however, whether the industry is making the right investments and utilizing all of its power to stop breaches from happening before they occur," Eatchel concludes in this important report for all assessment industry professionals.

Book Synopsis Cybersecurity in the Transportation Industry by : Imdad Ali Shah
Download or read book Cybersecurity in the Transportation Industry written by Imdad Ali Shah and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-07-02 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers crucial solutions and insights on how transportation companies can enhance their cybersecurity management and protect their corporate reputation and revenue from the increasing risk of cyberattacks. The movement of people and goods from one location to another has always been essential to human development and survival. People are now exploring new methods of carrying goods. Transportation infrastructure is critical to the growth of a global community that is more united and connected. The presented cybersecurity framework is an example of a risk-based method for managing cybersecurity risk. An organisation can find opportunities to strengthen and explain its management of cybersecurity risk by using its existing procedures and leveraging the framework. The framework can provide a foundation for businesses that do not currently have a formal cybersecurity program. However, there is a strong temptation to give in when a transportation company is facing a loss of millions of dollars and the disruption of the worldwide supply chain. Automobile production, sales, trucking, and shipping are high-value industries for transportation enterprises. Scammers know that these corporations stand to lose much more in terms of corporate revenue and reputation than even the highest ransom demands, making them appealing targets for their schemes. This book will address the increasing risk of cyberattacks and offer solutions and insight on the safety and security of passengers, cargo, and transportation infrastructure to enhance the security concepts of communication systems and the dynamic vendor ecosystem.

Book Synopsis Sex, Sexuality, and the Constitution by : Shigenori Matsui
Download or read book Sex, Sexuality, and the Constitution written by Shigenori Matsui and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2023-05-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sex and sexuality are an integral part of human life and vital for the survival of the human race, but sexual freedoms in many countries have yet to be enshrined as constitutional rights. Focusing primarily on Japan, Shigenori Matsui explores the extent to which governments should be allowed to restrict or influence sexual autonomy. Should a constitution encompass rights including: to decide or change sexual or gender identity; to have children, through natural birth or through medically assisted reproduction; or to not have children, through access to abortion? This rigorously detailed legal analysis has implications for government policy in all countries facing similar issues.
Book Synopsis The Impact of School Infrastructure on Learning by : Peter Barrett
Download or read book The Impact of School Infrastructure on Learning written by Peter Barrett and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2019-02-04 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The Impact of School Infrastructure on Learning: A Synthesis of the Evidence provides an excellent literature review of the resources that explore the areas of focus for improved student learning, particularly the aspiration for “accessible, well-built, child-centered, synergetic and fully realized learning environments.†? Written in a style which is both clear and accessible, it is a practical reference for senior government officials and professionals involved in the planning and design of educational facilities, as well as for educators and school leaders. --Yuri Belfali, Head of Division, Early Childhood and Schools, OECD Directorate for Education and Skills This is an important and welcome addition to the surprisingly small, evidence base on the impacts of school infrastructure given the capital investment involved. It will provide policy makers, practitioners, and those who are about to commission a new build with an important and comprehensive point of reference. The emphasis on safe and healthy spaces for teaching and learning is particularly welcome. --Harry Daniels, Professor of Education, Department of Education, Oxford University, UK This report offers a useful library of recent research to support the, connection between facility quality and student outcomes. At the same time, it also points to the unmet need for research to provide verifiable and reliable information on this connection. With such evidence, decisionmakers will be better positioned to accurately balance the allocation of limited resources among the multiple competing dimensions of school policy, including the construction and maintenance of the school facility. --David Lever, K-12 Facility Planner, Former Executive Director of the Interagency Committee on School Construction, Maryland Many planners and designers are seeking a succinct body of research defining both the issues surrounding the global planning of facilities as well as the educational outcomes based on the quality of the space provided. The authors have finally brought that body of evidence together in this well-structured report. The case for better educational facilities is clearly defined and resources are succinctly identified to stimulate the dialogue to come. We should all join this conversation to further the process of globally enhancing learning-environment quality! --David Schrader, AIA, Educational Facility Planner and Designer, Former Chairman of the Board of Directors, Association for Learning Environments (A4LE)

Book Synopsis Does greater food safety consciousness benefit smallholder dairy farmers? Evidence from Nepal by : Thapa, Ganesh
Download or read book Does greater food safety consciousness benefit smallholder dairy farmers? Evidence from Nepal written by Thapa, Ganesh and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food quality and safety have been the central issues of food economics and are considered among the most important food attributes. However, evidence of the impact of food safety consciousness on consumers' food purchasing behavior is limited. This paper studies the impact of food safety consciousness on weekly milk expenditure, milk price paid, milk quantity purchased, and the probability of purchasing milk from modern market outlets in Nepal. We conducted dairy consumer survey in four selected districts of the country and employed an instrumental variable regression and quantile instrumental variable to estimate the heterogeneous treatment effects. The results suggest that education, income, and social network are the major factors that positively influence food safety consciousness. An increase in the food safety consciousness level by 1% increases the weekly milk expenditure, milk price paid, and weekly milk purchased by 1.37%, 0.66%, and 1.27%, respectively. Furthermore, we found that an increase in food safety consciousness by 1% is associated with a 37% higher probability of selecting a modern milk outlet. At higher levels of food safety consciousness, female-headed households are significantly more likely to purchase milk from modern outlets in comparison to male-headed households. Our findings imply that increasing food safety consciousness is likely to improve food security (through more consumption of milk and other healthy food) and the welfare of smallholder dairy farmers (through increased milk demand and higher milk prices paid by consumers).

Book Synopsis Sustainable bioenergy potential from crop, livestock and woody residues in Rwanda: An integrated bioenergy and food security approach by : Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Download or read book Sustainable bioenergy potential from crop, livestock and woody residues in Rwanda: An integrated bioenergy and food security approach written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2023-09-18 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Access to sustainable energy is essential for development, poverty reduction and food security. Rwanda, like many other developing countries, is working on identifying sustainable energy solutions to ensure access to energy. Bioenergy is one possible form of renewable energy that countries are looking at to supply part of their energy portfolio. Rwanda currently relies on traditional biomass for energy supply, and shifting away from traditional biomass use would lower its dependency on traditional biomass and improve access to modern sustainable energy forms. Sustainable bioenergy interlinks closely with the agriculture sector, therefore it is necessary to find specific options that minimize negative impacts on the environment and food security. This accomplishes the dual purpose of energy security and food security. This report assesses the use of agriculture residues for the production of bioenergy in Rwanda. The methodology used for the assessment is the Bioenergy and Food Security (BEFS) approach of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The report provides a detailed assessment of the potential of crop, livestock and woody biomass availability for the production of off-grid electricity solutions and cooking fuels. Through the assessment, a number of specific bioenergy pathways are identified as suitable for bioenergy production. These options should be carried forward for piloting in the country and ground truthing.
