DNA DATABASE

Q-1) What are the benefit of DNA databases?
A-1) By using DNA database, we can identify the criminal by observing his/her genes. By using advanced technology, we can discover the identity of criminal by matching DNA from blood,hair,salvia or other bodily fluid which we got from the crime scene.There are also huge benefits to be gained from the considerable reduction in crime that would occur if there DNA database. After all, most crimes are committed by the same people - over and over again - and a DNA database would help to stop them in their tracks thereby saving everyone a huge amount of expense and misery. It would also help young boys to stop turning into 'bad' criminals because they would be caught at an earlier stage in their criminal careers.

Q-2) What problems do DNA database pose?
a-2) There are many problem for an innocent person's DNA to be at crime scene that police might choose to disregard. Innocent people may be caught up in a criminal investigation when their DNA.

Q-3) Who should be included in national DNA databse? should it be limited to convicted felons? Explain ur answer.
A-3) people who are guilty or cleared of a crime and also who has not commited any crime that all are included in DNA database. Yes, it should be limited to convicted felons because only they are included in the criminal activity.DNA samples taken when people are arrested must be destroyed if the individual is not charged or convicted.

Q-4) Who should be able to use DNA dtabase?
A-4) Federal agencies should collect DNA samples from individuals who are “arrested, facing charges, or convicted, or from non-United States persons who are detained under the authority of the United States.”

Q-5) How does CODIS work? How is it designed?
A-5) CODIS uses two indexes to generate investigative leads in crimes for which biological evidence is recovered from a crime scene. The convicted offender index contains DNA profiles of individuals convicted of certain crimes ranging from certain misdemeanors to sexual assault and murder. Each State has different “qualifying offenses” for which persons convicted of them must submit a biological sample for inclusion in the DNA database. The forensic index contains DNA profiles obtained from crime scene evidence, such as semen, saliva, or blood. CODIS uses computer software to automatically search across these indexes for a potential match.A match made between profiles in the forensic index can link crime scenes to each other, possibly identifying serial offenders. Based on these “forensic hits,” police in multiple jurisdictions or States can coordinate their respective investigations and share leads they have developed independent of each other. Matches made between the forensic and convicted offender indexes can provide investigators with the identity of a suspect(s). It is important to note that if an “offender hit” is obtained, that information typically is used as probable cause to obtain a new DNA sample from that suspect so the match can be confirmed by the crime laboratory before an arrest is made.

Q-6) What information does CODIs mainatin?
A-6) CODIS had data on more than 1.8 million proflies, the, samples on which tha DNA profiles are based, primarily blood or salive, are kept at forensic laboratories around the world.CODIS contains the profiles of convicted offender, contains arrestees persons profile, DNA profiles collected from crime scenes, missing persons profile, contains DNA profiles developed from unidentified human remains, contains DNA profiles voluntarily contributed from relatives of missing person.

Q-7) Who allowed to use CODIS?
A-7) A total of 175 crime labs in all 50 states and Puerto Rico ... as well as the FBI Lab and the U.S. Army Crime Lab. And, in a sign of how effective the system is, 31 labs in 18 nations worldwide also use CODIS, but they are not connected to any DNA databases here in the U.S. They simply borrow the FBI's technology to help investigations in their own countries, much as we do here.

Q-8) How does CODIS aid criminal investigations?
A-8) The development and expansion of databases that contain DNA profiles at the local, State, and national levels have greatly enhanced law enforcement's ability to solve cases with DNA. Convicted offender databases store hundreds of thousands of potential suspect DNA profiles, against which DNA profiles developed from crime scene evidence can be compared. Given the recidivistic nature of many crimes a likelihood exists that the individual who committed the crime being investigated was convicted of a similar crime and already has his or her DNA profile in a DNA database that can be searched by the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS). Moreover, CODIS also permits the cross-comparison of DNA profiles developed from biological evidence found at crime scenes. Even if a perpetrator is not identified through the database, crimes may be linked to each other, thereby aiding an investigation, which may eventually lead to the identification of a suspect.

information system help kia solve its quality problem

2009-04-12T00:34:00.000-07:00

Q.1 why was it so difficult for to identify sources of defects in the cars it produced?
Ans. Kia Has to Creat Some System To about Report of any defects , Accident ,Or Injuries Involving its Vehical to the U.S national Highway Traffic Safety Administration. And From that kia got every information about defects of its vehical. But it is so difficult to get informaton in this way.
Q:2 What was the business impact of Kia not having an information system to track defects? What other business processes besides manufacturing and production were affected?
Ans. The business impact of Kia not having an information system to track defects are Part sales are the first indicator of a defect , Warranty claims the second ,and consumer Complains the third. and for this defect other business like parts is Increase its sales.
Q:3 How did Kia's new defect reporting system improve the way it ran its business?
Ans. Kia created a software "engine" that examine six kia systems for warranty claims, Parts sales, vehical identification number master storage file, and vehical inventories and store the essential information in a singal common data repository. And use this information Kia tracking consumer comlaints recived by Phone, E-mail, or Postal mail. And from this information Kia improve its vehical quality.
Q:4 What management, organization, and technoloty issues did Kia have to address when it adopted its new quality control system?
Ans. Once the data have been stored in a singal space Kia can use crystel analysis software to analyze them highliting events , such as spikes in warranty claims related to a particular vehical model, unusale increases in parts order, or high number of accidents. Manager are able to analyze the data by daily, weekly, or monthly reporting periods and by specific car models, model year, and components. and from that management control new quality.
Q:5 What new business processes were enabled by Kia's new quality control system?
Ans. Information from this system is helping Kia pinpoint the sources of defects and determine what percentage of its vehicles is likely to have problems. The company can then improve its production processes before the problems become more wiedespread, thus lowering costs for warranty repairs. This information also helps Kia determine themost cost - effective stategy for dealing with its quality problems.

MIS

Information technology ('IT), as defined by the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA), is "the study, design, development, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and computer hardware.
Today, the term information technology has ballooned to encompass many aspects of computing and technology, and the term has become very recognizable. The information technology umbrella can be quite large, covering many fields. IT professionals perform a variety of duties that range from installing applications to designing complex computer networks and information databases. A few of the duties that IT professionals perform may include data management, networking, engineering computer hardware, database and software design, as well as the management and administration of entire systems.
