Relationship Of Cyber Threat Intelligence And Critical Infrastructure Assets On Information Technology Critical Infrastructure Attacks, Albert Su
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Ransomware cyberattacks on critical infrastructure can disrupt critical services with the capacity to impact human lives. Some security operations center (SOC) analysts feel overwhelmed by the influx of threat indicators of compromise (IoC), making it challenging to discern which alerts are significant for their organization. Grounded in John Boyd's OODA (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) theoretical framework, the purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to examine the relationship between cyber threat intelligence (CTI) and critical infrastructure assets on information technology critical infrastructure attacks. Data were collected by ingesting information from a U.S. CTI vendor and alerting IoCs related to critical …

How Secondary Disciplinary Teachers Integrate Literacy Strategies To Improve Outcomes On State Assessments, Miracle T. Brewington
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
According to recent research, secondary disciplinary teachers’(DTs) role in increasing disciplinary literacy skills is vital. The problem in this urban school district in the Southern United States was that middle school DTs acknowledge they struggle to integrate literacy strategies in their specific disciplines to improve reading outcomes on state assessments. Guided by Shanahan and Shanahan’s disciplinary framework and Knowles’s theory of andragogy, the purpose of this study was to investigate DTs’ perceptions on integrating literacy strategies to improve reading outcomes on state assessments. A basic qualitative design was used with 10 purposefully selected secondary DTs using one-to-one, semistructured interviews. Data …

Business managers risk failure if they do not correctly integrate academic knowledge transfer with their firms’ investments and their absorptive capabilities to generate viable industrial designs for new products. The purpose of this quantitative, correlational study was to test the relationship between nine academic-industry collaboration factors and the number of new products that firms generate. Three theoretical frameworks formed the basis of the completed study: (a) the quintuple helix, (b) the natural resource based view theory, and (c) the circular bioeconomy. Multiple regression analysis was used to test the relationship between nine academic-industry success factors and the number of new …

The Effects Of Sleep And Culture On A Police Officer’S Mindset Involved In A Traffic Collison, Christopher Gary Cano
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The host police department experienced 58 traffic collisions from 2019-2020, which resulted in adverse outcomes for police officers and community members. The police department seeks a solution to reduce and prevent future collisions. This problem is not an isolated incident, as traffic collisions have been the leading cause of death and injury to police officers in the United States for the last three decades. Previous research focused on the causative factors of traffic collisions (speeding, distracted driving); however, little research has been dedicated to why a police officer would engage in risky driving. Is the mindset of a police officer …
Clinical Practice Guideline For Evidence-Based Patient Appointment Reminders, Rohan Matthews
Clinical Practice Guideline For Evidence-Based Patient Appointment Reminders, Rohan Matthews
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are health care interventions used for best care outcomes. With this CPG project, I addressed a practice gap regarding the lack of a systematic approach to patient appointment reminders that resulted in disruption to patient health maintenance in an outpatient community clinic setting. Community and population health are improved with preventative care, wellness, and appropriate health maintenance measures. The practice-focused question central to this CPG was: Will a guideline on patient reminders designed to reduce the frequency of missed appointments in a clinic setting, be approved by a panel of clinical experts for future implementation? The …

Strategies For Articulating Information In Disaster And Emergency Response Common Operating Pictures, Donald Leon Mccue
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Emergency management leaders face challenges building common operating pictures (COPs) to display and share critical information, foster collaboration, and improve decision-making among response teams during crises. Without evidence-based strategies to help curb those challenges, poorly implemented COPs can impede situational awareness, decision making, and undermine efforts to get critically needed resources to populations in need. Grounded in a multi-theory model conceptual framework that leveraged the formulation of SA, decision making, and cognitive load psychology, this pragmatic qualitative inquiry explored the strategies that emergency management leaders use to implement the display and sharing of data in COPs to enhance the effectiveness …

Fraud Detection And Prevention In The Nigerian Financial Industry, Ibukunoluwa Adetola Ayodeji
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The emergence of digital banking has led to an increase in transaction volume in Nigeria's financial industry, resulting in a rise in fraud cases. This is gradually eroding trust in the economic system and posing a major challenge to the Central Bank's goal of financial inclusion. Fraud detection and prevention strategies must be put in place by IT leaders of Nigerian financial institutions, as fraud in the country can undermine the integrity and trust that are essential to maintaining the integrity of the country's financial system.

Seventh-Day Adventist Clergy’S Perceptions Of Dealing With Parishioners’ Mental And Emotional Health Challenges, Allens Gilles
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The issue of how Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) clergy perceive and address parishioners’ mental health challenges is critical. Clergy perceptions are significant because they can greatly influence parishioners’ quality of life and choices regarding mental health care. However, there is limited literature on SDA clergy’s perspectives on these matters. Thus, the purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to explore the perceptions of SDA clergy regarding how to assist parishioners with emotional and mental health challenges. The theoretical framework was the mental health literacy theory, developed in the mid-1990s. Data were collected from semistructured interviews with 10 clergy of African American …

The Lived Race Relation Experiences Of Black Male Counselor Educators, Timothy Irving
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Cultural competence is a key metric in the accreditation of U.S. counseling education and supervision (CES) programs, with diversity among faculty members in counselor training programs a key consideration. However, there are very few Black men in CES faculty roles, especially at higher academic ranks. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore how Black male faculty experience race relations in counselor education programs at predominantly White institutions (PWIs). In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with six Black men who were current or previous CES faculty. Heidegger’s theory of hermeneutic phenomenology and the critical race theory were used to analyze …
