UNIT V ARTICLE REVIEW
Brennan Trahan
Columbia Southern University Introduction
A hazard is a circumstance that represents a level of risk to life, wellbeing, property, or environment. Most dangers potential, with just a hypothetical danger of trouble ensuing, in any case, once a situation begins to progress, it can turn into a crisis quickly. A dangerous circumstance that has happened is called an occurrence. A danger investigation is utilized as the initial step as a part of a procedure used to evaluate hazard. The consequence of a risk investigation is the distinguishing proof of distinctive sort of perils. A peril is a potential condition and exists or not. It might in single presence or in blend with different risks and conditions turn into a real Functional Failure or Accident. Identification and Risk Analysis is an term that includes all exercises included in recognizing dangers and assessing danger at offices, for the duration of their life cycle, to verify that dangers to workers, the general population, or nature are reliably controlled inside of the association's danger resilience. A suite of instruments is accessible to oblige shifting examination needs: Apparatuses for basic danger distinguishing proof or subjective danger investigation incorporate peril and operability investigation, imagine a scenario where/agenda investigation, and disappointment modes and impacts examination. Apparatuses for straightforward danger investigation incorporate disappointment modes, impacts, and criticality examination and layer of security examination. Instruments for nitty gritty quantitative danger examination incorporate deficiency trees and occasion trees (education.vic)
To oversee danger, perils should first distinguish, and afterward the dangers ought to be assessed and resolved to be middle of the road or not. The prior in the life cycle that viable danger investigation is performed, the more financially savvy the future safe operation of the procedure or movement is liable to be. The danger comprehension created from these studies frames the premise for setting up a large portion of alternate procedure security administration exercises attempted by the office. An inaccurate view of danger anytime could prompt either wasteful utilization of restricted assets or accidental acknowledgment of dangers surpassing the genuine resistance of the organization or the group.
A few approaches to avoid and control risks are: Consistently and completely look after hardware, guarantee that danger revision systems are set up, guarantee that everybody knows how to utilize and keep up individual defensive gear, Ensure that everybody comprehends and takes after safe work methods, Guarantee that, when required, there is a restorative project customized to your office to forestall work environment dangers and exposures. To control risks in your work environment you have to recognize and comprehend those perils. Your first need ought to dependably be to wipe out the dangers. On the off chance that the risks can't be dispensed with, have a go at discovering more secure approaches to do those errands by substituting less destructive substances or changing the workplace through designing controls. Likewise consider changing how function exercises are sorted out and performed. For instance, decrease the time specialists are presented to a risk by turning them to another assignment.

a. A simple sliding bearing with hard steel surfaces supports a hard steel block of mass 775 kg. Estimate, giving clear justification of any assumptions that you have made:
i. the horizontal force that would be required to initiate sliding under the three frictional conditions given in Table 3.1 of Block 4
ii. The work done in displacing the mass a distance of 7.5 m when no lubrication is used. In no more than 200 words state, with reasons, whether or not you would be able to provide such a force on your own under any of the frictional conditions.
b. A block is sitting on a plane inclined at angle straight theta, small theta. It is on the point of slipping down the plane, i.e. the friction available isn’t enough to stop it. Assuming that the coefficient of friction between the surfaces is small mu (neglecting any difference between the values for static and dynamic conditions), show that the angle of the slope and friction are related by the expression small mu = tan straight theta, small theta.
c. On a wet day, a car is having trouble ascending a steel on-ramp to a ferry. The angle of the ramp is 15° and the coefficient of friction between the tyres and wet ramp is 0.2. Determine if the car can get up at all, and if not, by how much, to the nearest degree, the angle would have to be reduced by so the car can board the ferry.

In this assignment, you will explore specific examples of biotechnology applications.
Assignment Details
Part 1
Biotechnology is the use of a living thing or any part of a living thing to make a product or process that improves human life. For this part of the assignment, discuss the following:
What are some of the examples of biotechnology that have made improvements to your life?
Describe how one of these has made your life better.
Do you have any concerns with biotechnology? Explain.
Part 2
In 2008, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved food derived from cloned animals. In addition, these products will not need to be labeled as “cloned” or “from clones” (Black, 2008). The FDA explains that you will not be eating the clone itself. It takes thousands of dollars to clone a food animal such as a cow or pig. Animals that are cloned for improved food production will be used for a breeding program to produce many offspring with the desirable traits for increased meat or milk yield. These offspring of the clones will be fair game for food. Discuss the following:
Do you think there are differences between a clone and a "normal" animal?
How do you feel about eating a cloned animal?
Is your opinion of eating a cloned plant different?

The purpose of this assignment is to encourage you and the children to move beyond the basic, classic self-expressive experiences, such as standard easel painting or block play, and to present some variation of a self-expressive activity that is appropriate and interesting for young children. This will provide variety for them as well as furnishing you with an opportunity to try out your own inspiration.Remember that self-expression occurs in play as well as with "art" materials, so the activity could be any of the following: blocks, carpentry, easel painting (with variations from the standard form), creative dramatic play, dance, or a multitude of additional possibilities, providing these lend themselves to free-form experiences, not copying models or making things according to an adult-determined plan. Do your best to keep it a "Column One, Maximum Creative Potential” activity if using self-expressive materials. Also, avoid spending a lot of money on extra things. It's far better to have plenty of whatever you offer than a small, costly dab of something you could never afford to use when you are teaching professionally.1. Briefly describe the project.2. Describe two (2) ways the project allows the children to express themselves.3. List the other four (4) selves (social, emotional, cognitive, and physical) and explain how this project benefited those selves.4. List four (4) things you would say or do that are intended to make the project creative for the children.

A state university

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THIS ANSWER  INSTANTLY $15 Only

 

A state university in a small city is in a state of flux. The institution’s state funding is not keeping pace with its costs. However, it is under pressure to expand its programs to meet local workforce demands and to hold the line on tuition and fees. You, as an administrator, have a modest amount of new money to spread across campus for raises, in staff-critical areas, and to replace existing staff and faculty.

Your alternatives are:

Hire more full-time faculty and permanent staff.

Offer short-term appointments (up to three years) to faculty and staff to meet immediate needs.

Hire temporary employees to supplement the permanent workforce, either while searches are conducted or while you assess needs.

Increase loads for existing staff.

Leave positions vacant.

ASSIGNMENT:

For this assignment, create a PowerPoint presentation that explores options to address the situation presented in this week’s introduction. Since leadership is unable to fund all of the existing needs, analyze the options available to leaders as they seek to meet funding needs by identifying the pros and cons of each option from the perspective of the administration, the faculty, the student, and the political establishment, which provides the college’s funding.

Use the concepts discussed in chapter readings for this week, to set the tone of the professional presentation. Set the stage and interject symbols and stories where appropriate to emphasize your points.

M7D1: Case Study: Lying on a Dating Profile

M7D1: Case Study: Lying on a Dating Profile

Introduction

Consider the following case study: Two people, Robert and Maria, agree to go on a date after meeting each other virtually through an online dating site, viewing each other’s profiles, and exchanging a few emails. After their date, they had the following to say:

Maria: “I was completely shocked and upset to discover that while everything Robert said about his life, hobbies and career was true, the picture he used was ten years old. He has much less hair than he had in the picture, he’s clearly gained some weight since then, and I think he may have altered the picture to make himself look taller. I decided not to go on another date with him.”

Robert: “I was disappointed to find out that while Maria said in her profile that she’s into classic literature and classic rock-n-roll, just like me, when we were talking at dinner she didn’t seem to know anything about the subjects. She finally confessed that she put down books and bands that she knows most guys like even though she doesn’t like them herself. I decided not to go on a second date with her.”

Discussion Questions

After reviewing the (1) Module Notes, (2) Beveridge, and the video Websex, respond to the following questions. This activity aligns with module outcome 1.

Were both characters justified in feeling upset to find that the other character lied? Was one transgression more acceptable than the other? Please explain.

How much lying is acceptable in a dating profile? Is it ever OK to exaggerate or fib to help attract interest in a crowded online dating field and stand out from the pack? Please explain.

Should dating sites be doing more to monitor users’ profiles for deception or lies? What solution would you suggest for the problem of deceptive profiles?

Websex discusses how webcams and sharing sexually explicit photographs have become a prelude to or even a substitute for real life dating for teenagers and young adults. How does this compare to or contrast with traditional online dating? Why would people choose this form of connection over the text-based connections from the previous generation of online daters?

Identify ethical problems faced by individuals or communities and propose reasonable solutions.

M7D2: Case Study: The Medium Is the Message?

Introduction

The way we perceive the relative “importance” of online communication is rapidly changing, and communications that once would have been considered too important to relate online are now routinely delivered by new media. Consider the following scenario:

“I’m living on the East Coast for work for six months, but my mother and fiancée are back home on the West Coast. Things haven’t been going so well with me and my fiancée, and I decided to call off the engagement. I let my fiancée know by text, and I changed my Facebook status from ‘engaged’ to ‘single.’ She was really mad that I broke the news by texting, but I don’t see why. We met online, so what’s the problem? My mother then saw my status on Facebook and called me on the phone to tell me I should have called her to let her know before she saw it online. I just don’t see the difference between the phone and the internet, so I don’t know what she was so mad about. I’m the one who just ended a relationship!”

Discussion Questions

After reviewing Chapter 6 of Baym (Chapter 6), (3) Saidur Rahaman, and the (1) Module Notes, respond to the following questions. This activity aligns with module outcome 1.

In this case study, did the speaker owe the fiancée or the mother communication through a different medium? If so, which one and why? If not, why not?

When it comes to major life events, when, if ever, might it be appropriate to inform those with whom you have a close relationship through text message or social media posting?

Identify two ways that the choice of medium impacts your perception of a communication. Do you find that you expect family or close friends to communicate with you through different mediums than acquaintances? Why?

In Module 5 we discussed “Black Twitter” and the expression of racial identity online. What role do you see gender playing in the use of social media to engage in or avoid conflict? How might men and women perceive conflict differently when expressed through social media or a text message? What solution might you recommend to help men and women manage conflict better on social media?

Identify ethical problems faced by individuals or communities and propose reasonable solutions.

M6A1: Clicking for a Cause: Researching an Online Campaign

Activism on the Internet has had a number of notable successes and several notable failures. Some have argued that online activism has a powerful impact that shapes and transforms online communities, while others have claimed that online activism is more about feeling good than actually doing good. For this assignment, you will choose one new media activism campaign to research and evaluate in order to determine whether you believe online activism has a transformative effect and achieves real and lasting change. Some examples include:

•  Kony 2012
  •  #bringbackourgirls
  •  ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
  •  Anonymous “hacktivism”

Writing Requirements

For this assignment, you will write an essay. It will be composed of two parts, each will be completed in approximately 2 pages. Please address each of the bulleted points in your essay.

Part 1

Using your selected campaign, research 3-4 credible sources—such as academic journals, books, magazines and newspapers—and examine the campaign’s goal, the methods it used to try to reach that goal, and whether the campaign was effective.

Did the campaign achieve its goal? What made the campaign effective or ineffective?

How were online communities or networks involved in spreading the campaign’s message?

Would the campaign have been as effective if it had used only traditional media?

Part 2

Then, using what you have learned from how this campaign was organized, select an issue of importance to you and briefly propose how you would organize a new media activism campaign to achieve a goal related to that issue. Be sure to identify the goal you hope to achieve, the new media you would use to achieve that goal, and why you feel this would be a successful way to reach your goal.

Finally, reflect briefly on the impact of online activism. Does participating in online activism reinforce or shape individuals’ sense of being engaged and active citizens? How does it reflect, shape, or determine how individuals think about or participate in social and political causes?

Technical Requirements:

Cite the text, specified readings, and research (with page numbers) and reference it at the end of the essay.

Identify five college-level sources and evaluate them thoroughly by summarizing their main ideas and evaluating their relevance to the project.

Write in APA style using correct grammar and spelling.

J. D. Williams Inc

Linear Programming: Sensitivity Analysis and Interpretation of Solution: Case Problem 2: Investment Strategy

J. D. Williams, Inc., is an investment advisory firm that manages more than $120 million in funds for its numerous clients. The company uses an asset allocation model that recommends the portion of each client's portfolio to be invested in a growth stock fund, an income fund, and a money market fund. To maintain diversity in each client's portfolio, the firm places limits on the percentage of each portfolio that may be invested in each of the three funds. General guidelines indicate that the amount invested in the growth fund must be between 20% and 40% of the total portfolio value. Similar percentages for the other two funds stipulate that between 20% and 50% of the total portfolio value must be in the income fund and at least 30% of the total portfolio value must be in the money market fund.

In addition, the company attempts to assess the risk tolerance of each client and adjust the portfolio to meet the needs of the individual investor. For example, Williams just contracted with a new client who has $800,000 to invest. Based on an evaluation of the client's risk tolerance, Williams assigned a maximum risk index of 0.05 for the client. The firm's risk indicators show the risk of the growth fund at 0.10, the income fund at 0.07, and the money market fund at 0.01. An overall portfolio risk index is computed as a weighted average of the risk rating for the three funds, where the weights are the fraction of the client's portfolio invested in each of the funds.

Additionally, Williams is currently forecasting annual yields of 18% for the growth fund, 12.5% for the income fund, and 7.5% for the money market fund. Based on the information provided, how should the new client be advised to allocate the $800,000 among the growth, income, and money market funds? Develop a linear programming model that will provide the maximum yield for the portfolio. Use your model to develop a managerial report.

Managerial Report

1. Recommend how much of the $800,000 should be invested in each of the three funds. What is the annual yield you anticipate for the investment recommendation?


2. Assume that the client's risk index could be increased to 0.055. How much would the yield increase, and how would the investment recommendation change?


3. Refer again to the original situation, where the client's risk index was assessed to be 0.05. How would your investment recommendation change if the annual yield for the growth fund were revised downward to 16% or even to 14%?


4. Assume that the client expressed some concern about having too much money in the growth fund. How would the original recommendation change if the amount invested in the growth fund is not allowed to exceed the amount invested in the income fund?


5. The asset allocation model you developed may be useful in modifying the portfolios for all of the firm's clients whenever the anticipated yields for the three funds are periodically revised. What is your recommendation as to whether use of this model is possible?

5. (5 points) Last year McDonalds ran a promotion where it gave out Monopoly stickers with each purchase. If you got a winning sticker, you would get a small extra item free. The average person makes 3 purchases per visit, i.e. a Big Mac, French fries, and a drink; or an egg McMuffin, hash browns, and coffee; etc. Use the binomial calculator to do this problem.


6. How many purchases does the average person make in 2 visits?


7. What is the value of n that should be used?


8. Let the probability of a single sticker being a winner be 10%. What is π?

10. What is the probability of winning exactly 1 prize after purchasing 6 items? (include a screen shot of your answer)


11. What is the probability of winning 0 prizes after purchasing 6 items? (include a screen shot of your answer)


12. (5 points) Calculate the odds of winning the Power Ball 2^nd prize of $1 million. In order to win, you must match the numbers of 5 white balls numbered 1 to 69, and NOT match the red Power ball numbered 1 to 26. Write your final answer in 1/p instead of the fraction p. For example, ¼ = 4. 0.10 = 10.

17. What is the probability of picking the last remaining winning white ball from the bag?


18. What is the probability of NOT picking the winning red Power ball from another bag? (Note: The white balls and the red Power balls are in different bags. They are not in the same bag.)


19. Using the multiplication rule, what is the probability of winning the Power ball 2^nd prize in 1/p? (Note: The Power ball ticket says the odds of winning are 1 out of 11,688,053.52. If you do not get something close to this number, then you did something wrong!)


20. (10 points) The probability that a person has a certain fatal disease is 2% of the population. There is a test for detecting this disease. If you have the disease, the test gives the correct result 97% of the time. If you do not have the disease, then the test gives the correct result 95% of the time.

Fill in the following tree diagram.

1. What is the probability that a person who gets positive test results actually has the disease? (true positive)


2. What is the probability that a person who gets positive test results does not have the disease? (false positive)


3. Of all of the people who test positive for the disease, what is the probability that they actually have the disease? P(true positive| positive test results)


4. You are the medical advisor to the president. Based on the above statistics, would you recommend that everyone in the country get tested for this fatal disease?


5. (10 points) Determine the poker odds of drawing the following hands from a standard 52 card deck.

What are the odds of drawing a royal flush? (Drawing AKQJ10 of the same suit.)

1. What is the probability of drawing the A of spades for your first card?


2. What is the probability of drawing the K of spades for your 2^nd card?


3. What is the probability of drawing the Q of spades for your 3^rd card?


4. What is the probability of drawing the J of spades for your 4^th card?


5. What is the probability of drawing the 10 of spades for your 5th card?


6. Now there are 4 suits (spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs). What number do you need to multiply the above probability to take into account that there are 4 suits?


7. Now we drew the cards in a specific order (AKQJ10). But the order of the drawing of the cards does not matter in the end. What number do you need to multiply the above to get the final probability which takes into account that drawing order does not matter? (How many different ways can you arrange 5 different distinct objects?)

e.g. KQJ10A, QJ10AK, etc.

1. Multiply the above numbers to get the final probability. Express you answer as 1/p (i.e., .10 = 10, .5 = 2)

(Note: The odds for getting a flush are 1/p = 649,740. If you did not get this number, then you did something wrong.)

6. (10 points) Use the following values to fill in the Venn diagram.

A = “2” + “3”,    B = “3” + “4”

6. (10 points) You are planning on going to the National Harbor casino to play roulette. The roulette odds chart tells you how much money you will win if the ball lands on one of the numbers you bet on. For example, if you bet $1 on number 17 (a) and the ball lands on number 17, you will win $35 and get back your $1 bet as well. If you bet on 24 numbers (h) and the ball lands on one of the 24 numbers, you will get back $0.50 = (1/2 * $1) plus not lose your $1 bet. If the ball does not land on any of the numbers you bet on, then you just lose your $1 bet.

1. 35-to-1 : One number


2. 17-to-1 : Two numbers


3. 11-to-1 : Three numbers


4. 8-to-1 : Four numbers


5. 6-to-1 : Five numbers (including 0 and 00)


6. 5-to-1 : Six numbers


7. 2-to-1 : Twelve numbers (1 column, 1 to 12, 13 to 24, 25 to 36)


8. ½-to-1 : Twenty-four numbers (two columns of 12 squares)


9. 1-to-1 : Red (18 numbers)


10. 1-to-1: Black (18 numbers)


11. 1-to-1 : High (19 to 36)


12. 1-to-1 : Low (1 to 18)


13. 1-to-1 : Odd (18 numbers)


14. 1-to-1 : Even (excluding 0 and 00 for 18 numbers total)

The expected pay off value for roulette is

E = Payoff odds*bet* P(win) - bet*P(lose)

Let bet = $10.

Choose two different payoff odds from the above table and calculate what the expected payoff value is for each of your choices. (Hint: The expected payoff value has to be negative so that the house can stay in business over the long term!)

For your two choices of payoff odds, are your two expected payoff values the same (yes or no)? (Hint: It should not matter which numbers you play. Every choice should lose the same amount of money. Otherwise, no one would play the numbers where the losses are higher.)
