Colleague To Banner Migration: Data Conversion Guide For Institutional Research, Laura Osborn
Colleague To Banner Migration: Data Conversion Guide For Institutional Research, Laura Osborn
Masters Theses & Doctoral Dissertations
When the SDBOR decided to migrate their current student information system into a shared system with HR and Finance, adjustments needed to be made to accommodate for current Banner settings and work around tables that were already populated with HRFIS data. The change in data type of the student identifier from that of a 7-digit numeric field to a 9- digit alpha-numeric field poses problems for running aggregate data calculations. Additional complications include having some information such as first-generation status that was not migrated between the systems, and cases such as college coding where tables that were designed for student …
Digital Forensic Readiness: An Examination Of Law Enforcement Agencies In The State Of Maryland, James B. Mcnicholas Iii
Digital Forensic Readiness: An Examination Of Law Enforcement Agencies In The State Of Maryland, James B. Mcnicholas Iii
Masters Theses & Doctoral Dissertations
Digital forensic readiness within the law enforcement community, especially at the local level, has gone mostly unexplored. As a result, a current lack of data exists that examines the digital forensic readiness of individual agencies, the possibility of proximity relationships, and correlations between readiness and backlogs. This quantitative, crosssectional research study sought to explore these issues by focusing on the state of Maryland. The study resulted in the creation of a digital forensic readiness scoring model that was then used to assign digital forensic readiness scores to thirty (30) of the one-hundred-forty-one (141) law enforcement agencies throughout Maryland. It was …
The Effectiveness Of Transfer Learning Systems On Medical Images, James Boit
The Effectiveness Of Transfer Learning Systems On Medical Images, James Boit
Masters Theses & Doctoral Dissertations
Deep neural networks have revolutionized the performances of many machine learning tasks such as medical image classification and segmentation. Current deep learning (DL) algorithms, specifically convolutional neural networks are increasingly becoming the methodological choice for most medical image analysis. However, training these deep neural networks requires high computational resources and very large amounts of labeled data which is often expensive and laborious. Meanwhile, recent studies have shown the transfer learning (TL) paradigm as an attractive choice in providing promising solutions to challenges of shortage in the availability of labeled medical images. Accordingly, TL enables us to leverage the knowledge learned …
Design Principles Influencing Secondary School Counselors' Satisfaction Of A Decision-Support System, Kodey S. Crandall
Design Principles Influencing Secondary School Counselors' Satisfaction Of A Decision-Support System, Kodey S. Crandall
Masters Theses & Doctoral Dissertations
In the current era of accountability, secondary school counselors are expected to use data to drive program decision-making, identify and implement evidence-based interventions to create systemic change, and utilize emerging technology. Research shows it is difficult for school counselors to meet any of these expectations. A decision support system (DSS) is a technology that takes minimal effort to learn and can assist in decision-making processes. This design science research builds and evaluates an IT artifact, a decision-support system, in an attempt to solve the problems facing school counselors. To develop this system, four design principles (system usefulness, interface quality, information …

Mobile Identity, Credential, And Access Management Framework, Peggy Renee Camley
Masters Theses & Doctoral Dissertations
Organizations today gather unprecedented quantities of data from their operations. This data is coming from transactions made by a person or from a connected system/application. From personal devices to industry including government, the internet has become the primary means of modern communication, further increasing the need for a method to track and secure these devices. Protecting the integrity of connected devices collecting data is critical to ensure the trustworthiness of the system. An organization must not only know the identity of the users on their networks and have the capability of tracing the actions performed by a user but they …
