Effective communication of information security risk

Cloud computing enables location-independent access to data and plays a significant role in a “linked-up” healthcare environment. Having cloud computing can improve the availability of patient medical records but there is the need to have the right processes in place to realise the benefits of cloud-enabled services. Potential benefits include rapid provisioning and interconnectivity of electronic resources to enhance data availability, and big data analytics help analyse patient data to provide the right intervention to the right patient at the right time through linking the collaboration and communication among healthcare institutions in different locations. Assunção et al. (2015) provided a vision that cloud computing would become the fifth utility, which will offer essential computing services for daily use. Despite the known benefits of cloud computing, the Ministry of Health (MoH) in Oman is hesitant to adopt cloud computing in patient services in healthcare because of perceived risks. There is therefore the need to understand the perception of different types of risks in adopting cloud computing in healthcare in Oman, such as security, management, technical, legal, privacy and other types of risks. To this end, a preliminary interview was conducted with stakeholders and two sets of questionnaires were issued to public and healthcare professionals in order to understand their perception of the risks in adopting cloud computing as a service in healthcare. The findings identified data security, confidentiality, integrity and availability as primary concerns. Therefore, an effective methodology is required to manage those concerns. This research focuses on information security risk management within the healthcare industry. It introduces a methodology, Managing Security Risk-Business Process Modelling (MSR-BPM), as an approach to manage the identified risks. The MSR-BPM approach is built on ISO 27005 processes to help organisations prioritise, manage and treat the identified risks. The primary purpose is to enhance the communication of information security risk in healthcare processes, which can be improved by combining risk registers and business process modelling. A risk register documents the assessment of risk with appropriate countermeasures. BPM visualises the risks, activities, roles, security goals and countermeasures in the process models to promote a shared understanding of risks to decision makers and stakeholders. Finally, the MSR-BPM approach was evaluated through a scenario covering stages in the Integrated Care Pathway for breast cancer. This scenario was chosen because it has been used by previous researchers within the School of Computer Science and Informatics at Cardiff University. An evaluation that covered the set of ISO 27005 processes was produced to create a survey for experts in risk management, business process modelling and healthcare. The experts agreed that combining risk registers with business process modelling improved the communication of information security risk in healthcare processes when compared to using risk registers only

You can't! The daily exercise of police authority in Rio de Janeiro : 1907-1930

The police of Rio de Janeiro had an important role in the reform of the city in the early twentieth century. The impetus to build a modem city influenced elite intellectuals to try to reform the police in the modem, scientific fashion. After the first wave of reforms receded, the police was abandoned to a less prominent role, and left without resources to carryon the modernising process, resulting in the need to develop their own methods of work derived from their daily experience. The main purpose of this thesis is to look closely at daily police activity, trying to show how policemen developed their ways of viewing the world and their procedures from the experiences they faced. From their contacts with state administrators, in the figure of the Chief of Police, with members of the elite. and with the vast majority of poor citizens, policemen began to define the extent and limits of their power, building their place in the networks of patronage and authority that permeated Rio's society. They had to combine an unchecked power to deal with those they classified as the criminal classes, composed of the dispossessed, and an attitude of subservience to the powerful, in a pattern that characterises twentieth-century policing in Rio de Janeiro

The origin and political activities of the Orange Order in Newfoundland 1863-1890

The object of this study is to give an account of the origin of the Orange Order in Newfoundland in 1863, to investigate the activities of the Orange Lodges in the political life of the colony from 1863 to 1890, to estimate their influence, and more specifically, to examine the charge that the lodges were promoted in Newfoundland as an agency through which the supporters of the colony's union with Canada might work. -- In a colony such as Newfoundland where the population was divided almost equally between Irish Roman Catholics and Protestants, where sectarian squabbles were prone to accompany election campaigns, and where political distinctions often coincided with religious distinctions, Orangeism was bound to find a welcome. With its two-fold ideology of ultra Protestantism and loyalty to the British Crown, Orangeism could appeal to those who sought to maintain or strengthen the ties with England, and, when the occasion demanded it, the Order could rally Protestants of all persuasions against any encroachments upon what were considered Protestant rights. -- The need for some agency through which Protestants could be organized politically had been long felt. Outport Protestants of various denominations often tended to be as suspicious towards one another as towards Roman Catholics. Quarrels over schools, teachers, and educational grants kept Wesleyan and Church of England members at odds. The Liberal party had a strong auxiliary in the Benevolent Irish Society of St. John's through which the Roman Catholic vote could be organized, but the Tory machine lacked a counterpart until the Orange Lodges were organized. -- Not only in the political field did the Orange Lodges fill a gap. In an age when hunger, sickness, fire, and death struck frequently and suddenly, the hapless fishermen often had no place to turn for help. The Orange Order, with its sickness and death benefits, aid to needy brethren, mortality fees to widows, and other welfare services, was able to supply a degree of security in these emergencies. -- As an agency to promote Newfoundland's union with Canada, the Orange Order was not a success in the 19th century. Although some of the Orange leaders undoubtedly hoped to use the lodges for this purpose, the rank and file Orangeman, like his Roman Catholic neighbour, remained cool towards any proposals designed to unite Newfoundland with Canada

‘Being different’: realities of life experiences as constructed by persons with albinism in Nigeria

In Nigeria, persons with albinism (PWA) continue to face a higher burden of health and social challenges in the society compared with the general population. PWA experience multi-faceted social injustices such as stigma, discrimination and exclusion from education, employment and social participation. These injustices are driven by the Nigerian society because of sociocultural perceptions and stereotypes associated with albinism which can be attributable to the lack of adequate understanding of the condition. This research aimed to understand how the realities of being a PWA in Nigeria could be conceptualised based on their life experiences to develop a substantive theory of their social wellbeing status. By adopting constructivist grounded theory methodology, forty-two in-depth interviews were conducted amongst eleven PWA. Analysis identified three categories each of which embodies the multiple realities of disadvantages and exclusion experienced within the home, schooling, working and social environments at different stages of life. The concept of ‘Being different’ emerged from these categories to offer a theoretical explanation of what it means to be a PWA in Nigeria. The realities of ‘being different’ constitute processual social injustices for PWA because of how the Nigerian society is socio-culturally and institutionally configured to magnify the limitations of albinism above the rights and social liberties of the individual. This research identified albinism as a disability and concluded that PWA are owed a moral and ethical obligation by the Nigerian society for them to be able to access the liberties and support necessary to secure their health and social wellbeing. The sustainable fulfilment of this moral and ethical obligation necessitates an inter-institutional collaboration and vigilance that should address the layers of injustices meted to PWA. This study adds an original contribution to knowledge by offering a theoretical concept to qualify the social status of PWA in Nigeria, and thus, could be useful to inform appropriate health and social care interventions
