Question 1: Finance.

Your assignment is to present a discussion to explain ONE the following concepts to three different audiences. You are to write the paper as though you were in an auditorium personally speaking with each of the target groups. The first audience will be a group of middle school students; the second, an audience of new family starters; and the final group is an audience of senior retirees. You will meet with each of these audiences separately and during your presentation, be sure to use examples that would resonate with each audience. This is important. Use examples that would be appropriate for each demographic. (Using skateboards to make your point probably would not work well for senior retirees.)

Select only ONE topic from among the following topics to make your presentations.

Topic A: Payroll and various forms of employee remuneration

Topic B: Compound interest-Promissory notes, discounts, values

Topic C: Fractions, decimals & percents-as used in business transactions

Topic D: Mortgages-Variable, fixed, rates, payments, amortization

Topic E: Consumer Credit: Types, benefits and drawbacks of each

For whichever topic that you choose, (and only choose one topic) be sure to include actual mathematical examples similar to those presented in the text but tailored to each of the three age group audiences. Your paper will include an introduction which identifies the topic that you have chosen and then describes, in some detail, the salient components of the topic. The next sections will contain your presentations for each of the three age group demographics replete with examples, formulas and diagrams, if appropriate. The final section will consist of a summary of your paper.

When choosing your examples, select articles from current periodicals or newspapers to support your presentation. You should choose at least one article for each of the three age groups. Be sure to list the sources of the articles in your list of references which will follow your summary and conclusions section.

Your research presentation paper should be at least five pages in length but no more than seven pages. The title and reference pages do not count in the total number of pages required. The paper should be double spaced with a one inch margin top and bottom and on each side. Do not include extensive graphics, diagrams or pictures in order to bulk up your page count. Use Times New Roman, Arial or Courier font, 11-12 points size. Failure to strictly adhere to these guidelines will result in lost points on your paper.

Question 2: Literary Studies.

Choose one of the following questions to answer in essay form. Your essay should contain an introduction with a thesis, a body that supports the thesis with specific examples from the texts that we have read, and a conclusion that summarizes and closes the essay. At least 2 pages. MLA Style

Choose the reading that struck you the most this session and reflect upon its meaning, as well as whether it contributed to your being "more knowledgeable, loving, empowered, sensitive, complex and creative" person. Make specific references to the texts, including such literary conventions as character, setting, narration, dialogue and events.

Describe the development of the African American literary voice throughout history. Consider at least one text from the Colonial, Antebellum, Reconstruction Periods, the Harlem Renaissance, the Protest, Black Aesthetics, and Neorealism Movements

Question 3: Sociology.

Comparing Literature Reviews

The literature review in a dissertation serves to illuminate the research gap and thereby justify the necessity of the study and the proposed study methodology. Though this purpose remains consistent across all methodologies, the structure of the literature review section of a qualitative dissertation often differs slightly from that of a quantitative dissertation. For example, literature reviews in quantitative dissertations are dominantly constructed around the variables while those in qualitative dissertations can be constructed in many ways. In this assignment, you will contrast the structures of a qualitative and a quantitative literature review and consider a rationale for those differences.

General Requirements:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

APA style is required for this assignment.

Directions:

Write a paper (1000 - 1500 words) in which you contrast the structures of the qualitative dissertation with the structures of the quantitative dissertation and provide a rationale for the differences.

Topic: Degree of influence of police brutality on socio-economic outcomes in America

Include the following in your paper:

· A clear description of the primary differences between the structures of the literature reviews.

· A rationale for the observed differences. What factors contributed to the differences the structures of these literature reviews?

Question 4: Finance.

In around 700 words, please provide information on Percentage of Total Revenues on Leasing for EV EBITDA Australia. Ensure that the statistics for the percentage are from within the last 3 years (2016 onwards). In case you are not able to find exact percentages for EBITDA, feel free to include a proxy company as part of your calculations, and then explain about the method you used to arrive to the answer. Finally, include citations both inside and at the end of the document in hyperlinks. Write in Intro, Body, and Conclusion as per the usual Research Format (plus a methodology section, if necessary. Thank You!

Question 5: Computer Science.

Using the Java programming language:

Create some tests before you start coding...

Implement a graph class with at least:

a function to add a new node to the graph (addNode(nodeName))

a function to add a new path between two nodes of the graph (addPath(source, destination))

a function for a shortest path algorithm (shortestPath(source, destination))

a function for a minimum spanning tree algorithm (example minSpanTree()).

Analyze the complexity of all of your graph behaviors

Question 6: Economics.

What is the likely effect on equilibrium price and quantity if orange growers experience an extended period of bad weather? Which curve(s) is (are) affected by bad weather (supply, demand, both, or neither)? Your answer must indicate the effect of that bad weather on the equilibrium price of oranges (did the price go up, go down, or remain unchanged?). Your answer must also indicate the effect on equilibrium quantity (did it increase, decrease, or remain unchanged?).

Question 7: Mathematics.

Consider the following variation of the coupon collector's problem. Each box of cereal contains one of 2n different coupons. The coupons are organized into n pairs, so that coupons 1 and 2 are a pair, coupons 3 and 4 are a pair, and so on. Once you obtain a coupon from every pair, you can obtain a prize. Assuming the coupon in each box is chosen independently and uniformly at random from the 2n possibilities, what is the expected number of boxes you must buy before you can claim the prize?

The following questions are based on the article: “Insights from Project GLOBE Extending global advertising research through a contemporary framework.”

The analyses for GLOBE resulted in the identification of nine major cultural dimensions (summarized in Table 1): uncertainty avoidance, power distance, institutional collectivism, in-group collectivism, gender egalitarianism, assertiveness, future orientation, performance orientation and humane orientation.

1. Explain how one of the cultural dimensions, power distance, can be varied across countries, and how advertising in countries reporting high scores can address this value.

2. Explain how one of the cultural dimensions, assertiveness, can be varied across countries, and how advertising in countries reporting high scores can address this value.

3. Explain how one of the cultural dimensions, humane orientation, can be varied across countries, and how advertising in countries reporting high scores can address this value.

4. As the authors proposed their research questions in the article, would the fit/match between advertising methods, societal expectations regarding communication and societal culture be an important predictor of advertising effectiveness? Why or why not?

Question 12: Health Care

Instruction

The assignment: Part of successfully implementing a strategic plan is involving everyone in the organization in the plan. You work as an admission coordinator for an assisted living facility that just enacted its 5-year strategic plan. However, no one has communicated any of the components of the plan to any departments, including yours. Instead, management has chosen to include only senior-level management. What do you think of this implementation approach? Do you think it will be an effective strategy? Why or why not? What would you do differently to ensure the successful implementation of the assisted living facility's strategic plan? Direct your comments specifically to an assisted living facility's characteristics and how a strategic plan might be implemented in such an organization.

Question 13: Other

Oral History Project

Value: 15% Genogram and questions, and 15% for presentation = 30%

For this assignment, you will create a Genogram, which is a graphic representation of the personalities and interplay of generations within a family, used to identify repetitive patterns of behavior; a psychological family tree.

This assignment is an opportunity for each student to represent his/her own family over the past three generations and to consider the varied family configurations and relationships. Students will first interview family members to gain knowledge of their family tree and then represent this information in the form of a Genogram. Each student will present and briefly discuss their Genogram in class. During the in-class presentation, students will include a verbal response to the presentation questions that follow, however full disclosures of personal information in the presentation are not required. Please think through what you want to speak to in the presentation, which may (or may not) be less than what you reflect on in the written assignment.

This assignment includes:

· Genogram Submission (Genogram & 4-6 pages for reflection questions)

1. one page APA cover sheet

2. family genogram

3. answers to presentation questions

· Class Presentation (15 minutes maximum)

Present your genogram and answer the following presentation questions without reading your notes. Relate these questions to theories discussed in class and other classes. (i.e. Attachment)

Reflection Questions:

a. What patterns do you see in the relationships between members of your family over three generations?

b. What societal impacts did your family endure? How did these influence your family dynamics?

c. What family crises have impacted family relationships? How did these change your family dynamics?

e. What was the impact of rules, roles and/or boundaries in your family? How are these rules, roles and/or boundaries still operative? How have they changed over time / generations?

f. What theories from this course are particularly relevant to your family genogram? ** Please integrate theoretical reflection into the other questions as well. **

g. What insights did you gain about the relationships in your family that you did not have before completing the Genogram?

Evaluation Areas for Presentation

1. Content and development : Genogram legible for presentation purposes, with appropriate symbols and key. Clarity in presenting each question. Correct number of generations

2. Integration of your own thinking: Inclusion and effective integration of class theory with personal storytelling. Insightful about family patterns.

3. Oral Presentaion skills: . Presentation skills, ie. eye contact, engaged with class, volume

Question 15: Computer Science

There are four programs must be written in c++ \ # comments are required for each steps there are files for each programs uploaded

Program 3 – Find and Replace

COSC 113.191 Summer 2019 – Due 6/17

Follow Program Guidelines. Use string processing functions.

Input: The input file contains an unknown number of lines of text. During execution, the program user gives keyboard input for the search string, and for the string to replace the search string wherever it is found.

Processing: The program replaces the search string in the text with the specified replacement string. The revised text is output to a file.

Output: Besides the output file with the revised text, the program tells the user how many times a replacement was made. (If the search string was not found at all, the output file has the same contents as the input file, and the user gets a message that the search string wasn’t found.)

Recommendation: Plan carefully before writing code. Note that there are no restrictions on the lengths of the search string and replacement string.
Will your method work when the replacement string is shorter than the search string? What will happen when the replacement string is longer than the search string?

Program 4 – Due 6/28 - Salesperson’s Pay

Using parallel arrays and output formatting
The XYZ Company pays its sales staff a monthly salary, and keeps a record of the total amount

of sales made by each person that month. If a person’s total sales is at least $100,000.00, a bonus of $1000.00 is added to the monthly salary for that month’s pay. The number of sales staff changes each month, but is never more than 150.

An input file contains 3 lines of data for each employee:
Employee name
Amount of employee’s monthly salary (with a dollar sign)
Total sales made by the employee for the month (with a dollar sign)
There are three-line entries for whatever number of people form the sales staff that month.

The program will use three parallel arrays for input data: one for employee names, one for employee salary, and one for the employee’s total sales. The program will compute data for two additional parallel arrays, one for the bonus for each employee, and another for the employee’s total pay for the month. The program also determines the Sales Employee of the Month (the employee with the highest total sales).

Output will show the contents of the 5 arrays in a table with 5 columns; the first row of output labels the columns. Use output formatting to insure that dollar amounts are shown with 2 decimal places, right adjusted in their columns so the decimal points line up. After the table, the Sales Employee of the month is named, along with his/her total sales for the month.
Function Requirements: Input is done in a function; the calling program receives the 3 input arrays’ contents and the number of sales employees. Output is done in a function.

Example input file contents:

Roger Rabbit
$5388.50
$500942.78
Wile E. Coyote
$4200.00
$794.28
Corresponding output file contents:
Name Salary
Roger Rabbit $ 5388.50 $ 500942.78 $1000.00 $ 6388.50 Wile E. Coyote $ 4200.00 $ 794.28 $ 0.00 $ 4200.00 Sales Employee of the Month: Roger Rabbit

Amount Sold by Roger Rabbit: $500942.78

Program 1 – COSC 113

Write a complete C++ program to report on the roots of quadratic equations of the form

ax² + bx + c = 0, a ≠ 0. The formula for the roots is

-b ± √ b² – 4ac

If the discriminant, b² – 4ac, is zero, there is a single root. If b² – 4ac > 0, there are two real roots. If b² – 4ac < 0, there are two complex roots. For b² – 4ac >= 0, the program can compute the roots.

Input: The values of a, b, and c for each quadratic equation are stored, separated by spaces, on a single line in an input file. The number of lines representing equations is not known; the program is to process all of them.

Processing: A value-returning function will be used to compute b² – 4ac.

A void function is used to output the results to a file.

Output: For each equation, the type and number of the roots (single real root, two real roots, two complex roots) and, if b² – 4ac >= 0, the root value(s). The output is written to a file.

COSC 113 Program 2 – Due Wednesday, June 12

Write a program to process string data. The input is on one line in an input file, and has up to seven components with a colon (:) at the end of each component. The program separates each component into separate strings (without the colon), and outputs each separated string along with its length. Use an output file, with one line for each separated string.

One input sample could be
George:April:May:William:Johnny:

Another input could be

Red:Fuscia:Magenta:

A third input example is (note internal spaces)

Hello, there.:How are you?:I’m fine.:See you at dinner!:

NOTE: The function getline must be used to read the entire line of input into a single string variable. Then string processing functions are used to separate the component strings.

Unit Lesson

It’s a Wonderful Life is a 1946 Christmas drama film based upon a short story “The Greatest Gift.” Critics consider the film one of the most popular in American cinema. Annual rebroadcasting has vaulted this film into classic status, and it is traditionally viewed during the Christmas season. The plot of the film revolves around George Bailey, who has given up most of his ambitions and plans to help others. For instance, George saved his younger brother who had fallen through the ice, which resulted in his losing hearing in one ear.

Henry Potter represents a character that always seems to have luck on his side and who others often view as someone who takes advantage of George throughout the story. This scenario brings forward a whole series of ethical business situations, analyzing how one individual in the business takes advantage of another as a result of a high level of power, money, or position.

Business situations involving power often relate to the idea of conflict of interest. One can define a conflict of interest as a situation within a business in which a person has multiple interests that modify his or her judgment when making decisions on behalf of the organization. A significant effect exists when the person making the decision holds a high level of power within the organization. Secrecy, corruption, and conflicts of interest have an unfortunate presence in some businesses and branches of government. A widely recognized form of coercion in business comes from gifts and entertainment. Although most major corporations have clamped down on this practice by instituting strict guidelines on what gifts a business can accept, this has only touched the tip of the iceberg. In some circles, people refer to these gifts as bribes or kickbacks.

As the story continues with George’s suicide on Christmas Eve, his guardian angel is introduced. The guardian angel demonstrates to George how all his courageous acts of kindness through his life had changed

This story could also be related to tragic events in history, as we attempt to understand how these tragic events affect the ability of the people involved, bystanders, rescuers, and others to react ethically. Tragic times bring significant emotions, which lead to reactions that a normally ethical person might not have. These emotions range from selfishness and uncompassionate behavior, such as stealing through looting, kidnapping, extortion, and premeditated murder. This behavior can materialize due to people attempting to protect themselves, remorseful feelings, or feelings of guilt brought on by the event. A well-known fact is that, when in danger, the body goes into protective action with survival in mind. Outwardly, these actions may appear unethical and, in the end, are actually regretted by the individual.

Unethical behavior during tragic times, while distinguished from unethical behavior in non-tragic times, still takes a toll on individuals and our nation as a whole. While empathy plays a part in this analysis, at the end of the day, unethical behavior is still unethical behavior.

Overview

The final project for this course is the creation of a network upgrade and maintenance plan proposal.

In today’s business world, network architectures have become more and more critical to the success of an organization. The correct architecture, design, and implementation from a network engineer is imperative to fully understand the implications of the network within the business. As an IT professional, an understanding of the foundational concepts in network development and maintenance is key, and as a professional specializing in networks and telecommunications, a comprehensive knowledge of networking and telecommunications concepts, advancements, and appropriate implementation are essentials for success. This project will give you the opportunity to tackle a real-world networking issue in preparation for professional IT networking. You will showcase your conceptual knowledge as you apply it to the design of a network architecture that aligns to the needs of a particular organization. Your design will not only meet organizational needs, but attend to the potential for growth and technological advancement. Additionally, you will need to develop a plan for the maintenance of the network. You will submit these in the form of a proposal to the organization for the consideration of executives.

You will begin this project by imagining yourself as a network consultant in a medium-sized company. You have been tasked with preparing a plan to maintain and upgrade the network environment, in order to meet the growing technology needs of the organization. Your assignment will be to draft a network upgrade and maintenance plan that includes, at minimum, network performance analysis, identifying key issues, designing an effective network plan, and proposing a lifecycle management and maintenance plan that will align to the organizational needs.

The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three and Five. The final project will be submitted in Module Seven.

In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:

 IT-345-01: Analyze network performance to identify bottlenecks and sources of misalignment to organizational needs

Question 26: Psychology

When terrible crimes are committed, such as that explored in Judgment Ridge, media, communities, law enforcement, and citizens seek answers--particularly when the senselessness of the crime seems to defy these very answers. Perhaps we seek narratives to explain, comfort, and offer solutions to some larger problem. The central question posed by the book Judgment Ridge is this: why did Robert Tulloch and James Parker, who were by most accounts ordinary, likable teens, kill the Zantops? What answer or answers do you believe the book seeks and/ or finds? Please summarize the reason or motive you think the book posits most persuasively. Does this answer satisfy you--why or why not? Choose one quote from your reading so far that you believe illustrates the teens' reason for killing and include it in your post, along with some follow-up analysis. In addition, address somewhere in your post how the film Are You Good or Evil? impacts your reading of the book thus far: was there some point made that influenced, complicated, or shaped your thinking on the Judgment Ridge case? Post should be 1-2 paragraphs, written in a formal academic tone, and grammatical, and should provide one textual quote. Don't feel that you need to answer every rhetorical question posed here, so long as you address the gist and that you incorporate some analysis of the both the book and the documentary film in your post

Question 27: Other

1. What are some of the possible biases and points of error that may arise in team communication systems? What are some other examples of how team communication problems can lead to disaster?

2. Give some examples (at least three) of team mental models (ones you hold currently, or have held in the past). Consider a Cuyahoga collision example. What went wrong with the team mental model in this situation in terms of both accuracy and correspondence?

1. What are some steps a manager can take to prevent groupthink in his or her group/team? How might these steps have prevented some of the real-life disasters.

2. Give an example of a time when your group/team (or a group/team you know of) fell prey to the Abilene paradox. Using the key causes of self-limiting behavior in groups, explain why you think this happened. What are some of the preventative measures the group could have taken to avoid the Abilene paradox?

Question 28: Finance

Moonscape has just completed an initial public offering. The firm sold 4 million shares at an offer price of $10 per share. The underwriting spread was $0.60 a share. The price of the stock closed at $14.00 per share at the end of the first day of trading. The firm incurred $400,000 in legal, administrative, and other costs. What were flotation costs as a fraction of funds raised? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

Question 29: Psychology

Wk. 2 Discussion

Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to other students.

Include at least two examples of questions you would use on your survey. Please elaborate on how this survey would be administered. Please apply what was learned in week 1 regarding research ethics to this question. Remember to include citations and references in your response if stating facts.

Question 30: Computer Science

The scope of stakeholders for a disaster recovery plan is organization-wide. Therefore, it requires executive buy in and sponsorship. For this task, create a PowerPoint presentation for the executive leadership within your chosen organization. Provide information necessary to help these leaders to make a decision regarding the disaster recovery strategy for the organization. In your presentation, be sure to include the following:

1. Justification of the plan

2. Identification of risks

3. Potential costs including financial and human resources

4. Potential outside entities involved in the plan

5. Use of laymen’s terms as opposed to technical terms that non-IT professionals may understand (remember, they need to understand it to buy into it)

Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and graphics as well as “speaker notes” for each slide. The speaker notes may be comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists.
Support your presentation with at least three (3) scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources may be included. Length: 12-15 slides (with a separate reference slide)

Instructions One type of change to consider is disruptive change or innovation. Disruptive innovation is a relatively new term coined in 1995 by Bower and Christenson. In essence, this is any new or different approach to a product or services that radically change the market. This kind of radical change is hard to predict from your competition, but just the type of internal innovation that change managers want to develop their competitive advantage in the market. Organizations that empower employees to create innovative, disruptive technologies, products, or services are the hallmark of pioneering industry leaders. The companies who are the disruptive innovators are companies that compete in the market differently, serving an underserved or unserved customer base, and do so in typically at a lower price. One example of this kind of disruptive innovation was the emergence of Amazon into the retail space. Amazon was one of the first companies to consider e-commerce as the primary method of product distribution. This disruptive approach to business has by its growth affected the retail so much that historical physical or brick and mortar companies are weakening or closing. Retailers that were once the largest retailer in U.S. cities no longer exist or are failing because of the disruptive innovation of companies like Amazon and its largest competitor, Walmart. The disruptive innovation and efficiencies of both of these companies have an impact not only in retail, but logistics, technology, and public buying trends. For this assignment, you may choose to represent either Amazon or Walmart. If you selected Walmart as your company, you would assess Amazon's practices. If you selected Amazon, you would assess the practices of Walmart. As the representative of your chosen company, you have been asked to identify the three most impactful, disruptive technologies that your competitor is using to secure market share. You will then address how that disruptive innovation should be treated in your selected company at each of the three identified change management tiers (i.e., enterprise, organizational, and individual). If you choose to include graphs or figures, they should be included in an appendix. Your audience for this paper is the executive leadership of your selected company. However, you are expected to write in an appropriate academic voice. Length: Your assignment is to write a paper of 6-7 pages, not including a cover page, references, or appendices. Please consider that those holding doctorates in business are often hired for their professional and academic expertise to offer solutions to businesses in need. This assignment is geared toward helping you discover how you might respond if asked to act in this role. References: Include at least 4 references in your selected company. Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.

Question 8: Other

3-4 paragraph 3 sources

Instruction

Read about how the government has increased oversight of certain pathogens. What’s scarier than the intentional release of a biological agent? The accidental release of one! With intentional release, you already know the intent is to inflict great harm. We also know there are many rogue nations, groups as well as lone wolfs out there who have tried to or have successful acquired biological agents to use as bioweapons. With accidental release, you might’ve placed your trust in someone (i.e., researchers, scientists, laboratorians) or something (i.e., CDC, USAMRIID, hospitals, research laboratories) to handle these dangerous biological agents in the safest manner possible yet…they had an accident. To prevent such accidents from occurring, the Federal Select Agent Program enhances the nation’s oversight of the safety and security of select agents. It does so by placing regulations and restrictions on those entities who work with, or possess select agents. Since the publication of the Select Agent list and the implementation of programs at the CDC and USDA, the government has responded to concerns about certain types of research with policies governing "Dual Use Research of Concern." The link is to the NIH Office of Science Policy. Watch the video and read the policies there on DURC and Gain of Function (GOF) research for a good overview. Dual-Use Research perspectives: "Regulating the Boundaries of Dual-Use Research" (Science, 2012) "Implementing the new US Dual-Use policy" (Science, 2012) 1. Discussion: State whether the US policies for oversight of dual-use research is appropriate and state why. If not, argue for either increasing oversight and state what new policies or practices are needed; or, argue for decreasing oversight and state why. You must start a thread before you can read and reply to other threads

Question 29: Sociology

Write a 4-6 page essay on two of the following questions. Your total assignment should be 4-6 pages long, plus an additional bibliography page. Please be very careful to cite your resources, including the textbook and/or films carefully and correctly.

1. According to Robert Putnum, a scholar of social capital discussed in Chapter 5 of the Conley text, people have less connection and trust in their neighbors and communities today than in the past, resulting in a decline in civic (public) engagement. Conduct research on his claim. Based on data you locate from academic sources, explain how and why people are being less engaged with their communities OR conversely argue that Putnam is incorrect and that civic engagement is occurring in other spaces (the internet for example). Avoid using anecdotal or personal experience for this essay and focus on and creating a persuasive academic argument.

2. The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world and about 1 in 34 Americans is under correctional supervision. Based on the theories and data presented in Chapter 6 of the Conley text, consider why this might be the case. What is causing the high incarceration rate? What role does racism, poverty, and masculinity play in this pattern? Next, evaluate the rehabilitative vs. punishment approach to crime reduction. Which one does the US employ? How effective is this approach and why might this be the case?

3. Pascoe identifies a number of social issues or problems in her book, including, gender inequality, masculine dominance and violence/homophobia in schools. Choose an issue or concern that Pascoe raises and discuss her analysis of the issue.

o Why is it a problem?

o Where does the problem or issue come from?

o How have those issues been discussed in our other readings?

o What are some possible solutions?

Question 28: Biology

Consider reviewing the information about proteins, carbohydrates and fats in the OLI modules.

Pick a type of food that you enjoy. Before you start researching, state a hypothesis about the nutritional content of this food. Remember a hypothesis is an educated guess (and may be wrong), and a good hypothesis is specific.

Then summarize what you learned from your research. Include an image of at least one molecule found in this food (be sure to give credit for where you found this image) and briefly describe that molecule in terms of the atoms it is made of and potentially the chemical bonds that keep the atoms together. Is this a beneficial molecule to consume? Explain why. Did your research support your hypothesis?

Your main response should be a minimum of 150 words. You also need to post at least two replies to classmates that contribute to their learning (100 words minimum). Suggest improvements of hypotheses, ask critical questions or provide additional information that relate to their topic in your replies.

For full credit, don't forget to include a reference (or references) for the source(s) where you find the information you present.

Question 27: Psychology

Topic: Reinforcement

Question/Prompt: Reinforcement is central to the behaviorist view of learning. Define reinforcement and discuss 1 suggestion from your textbook of how reinforcement could be used to increase desirable behaviors in the classroom (see Ormrod, 2016, Chapter 4). Provide an example of a classroom behavior that you would like to increase using your selected technique. Describe how you would actually go about implementing it in the classroom. Share an example from the Bible of when Jesus used reinforcement to increase desirable behaviors in his followers.

Question 25: Health Care

NTR 241 Exam 4 Study Guide | Complete

1. Distinguish among extracellular fluid, intracellular fluid, interstitial fluid, and intravascular fluid. Give examples of the types of body fluids found in each compartment. What happens when cells do not contain enough fluid? Or if they contain too much fluid? Extracellular- fluid outside of the body’s cells (in tissue) or as the liquid portion of the body’s lymph-(interstitial fluid and intravascular fluid). Interacellularfluid held at any given time within the walls of the body’s cells. Cells will shrink and die if not enough fluid.

2. Identify four nutrients that function as electrolytes in our bodies. Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Phosphorus.

3. Discuss how the kidneys regulate blood pressure and blood volume. Describe the action of ADH, aldosterone, renin, angiotensin I, and angiotensin II. While filtering the blood, they reabsorb water and other nutrients the body needs and excrete waste products and excess water in the urine. Changes in blood pressure, volume and concentration of solutes in the blood signal the kidneys to adjust the volume and concentration in the urine. In response to the increased concentration of solutes in your blood, ADH is released from the pituitary gland. Pressure receptors in the kidney sense this reduced blood pressure, and signal the kidney to secrete the enzyme renin (catalyzes the conversion of a blood protein called angiotensin). Angiotensin I- converted into angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor that constricts the diameter of blood vessels ad increase blood pressure, it also signals the release of the hormone aldosterone from the adrenal glands.

4. List three functions of water in our bodies. Dissolves amino acids, glucose, water soluble vitamins, mineral salts, and some medication, regulates body temperature, and protects and lubricates tissues.

5. Describe how electrolytes assist in the regulation of healthful fluid balance. Water follows the movements of electrolytes in and out of the cell.

6. Describe the avenues of fluid intake and excretion in our bodies. Which part of the body contains the thirst mechanism? What three changes in the body stimulate the thirst mechanism? Command center for fluid intake is a cluster of nerve cells in the hypothalamus; thirst mechanism is triggered by increased concentration of salt and other dissolved substances in the blood, a reduction of blood volume and blood pressure (through sweating, blood loss, vomiting, diarrhea, or low intake), and dryness in the tissues of the mouth and throat.

7. Explain how the body maintains acid-base balance; name and describe the three systems used. Acids and bases are neutralized through the additions of buffers or through actions if the lungs or the kidneys, maintaining control of the blood which is normally slightly alkaline. 3 major systems: blood buffers- proteins, take up excess hydrogen ions during acidosis and to release hydrogen ions when the blood becomes too basic, and the bicarbonate-carbonic acid system- CO2 dissolves in the bloodstream to form carbonic acid which turns into hydrogen and bicarbonate ions. C02+H2Oß ß H2CO3ßß H++HCO3-. Respiratory compensation- if buffers cannot correct large or long-term imbalances, second line of defense is the lungs, by increasing and decreasing the rate of respiration, regulating the amount of carbonic acid in the blood, decreasing blood pH. Renal compensation- lungs regulation of acid based balance is limited, so healthy kidneys secrete into the blood or excrete into the urine a significant bicarbonate to correct acid imbalances, and can use ammonia and hydrogen phosphate to excrete excess hydrogen ions......

General Motors’ Commitment to Diversity

Read the vignette “General Motors’ Commitment to Diversity” at the end of Chapter 3. This vignette explores General Motors. Back in the 1980s, valuing diversity was far from the minds of the leadership at General Motors. True, GM had established a program to promote minority-owned dealerships, but there were problems within the company. Women and minorities complained to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that the carmaker was discriminating against them. In 1984, the EEOC and GM reached a $42.4 million settlement in which GM promised to promote women and minorities into management positions. Since then, the company has never swerved from that effort at inclusiveness. Today GM garners praise as a company that far exceeds legal standards for equal employment opportunity.
