Johnny Walker works at High Energy Co. His secretary, Mrs. Prim Proper, is very efficient and has worked with him for five years. Lately, she is complaining that her wrist hurts. After several doctor appointments, she was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome and given a brace and corticosteroid shots to relieve the pain. Mrs. Proper continued the treatment for a year at which time it was proven ineffective and her efficiency dramatically diminished. What kind of remedy should Mrs. Proper seek? Does High Energy have to keep her in the position or can it fire her due to a Bona Fide Occupational Qualification? How does workman’s compensation affect the case?

Expert Solution

Answer:

A. Remedy:

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can cause disability in many patients. Mrs. Proper can seek the following remedies in her case as follows:

Under Federal Workmen Compensation law, Mrs. Proper can seek compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, disability payments, and other costs.

Under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Mrs. Proper can seek remedy within the occupational hazard scope for carpal tunnel syndrome caused due to wrist hurt during her employment.

Under the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Mrs. Proper can seek protection if treated unfairly at the workplace.

B. The High Energy Company can relieve Mrs. Proper from her position for the time being until she recovers from her health issues by giving her adequate compensation. However, the company cannot fire her from her position.

C. Workmen Compensation Law gives protection to the employees who are harmed while being on the job and performing duties by paying the expenses to them. In this case, Mrs. Proper may have developed this disease due to her job on computers and is covered protected under this law and related provisions.

There are strong reasons to believe that very high energy cosmic rays reaching the Earth originate outside our galaxy, and are mostly protons. As one of these protons propagates through space, it can scatter off photons of the 3◦ cosmic microwave background. Such photons have energies of about kBT, where kB is Boltzmann’s constant and T ≈ 3K. [Recall that kT at room temperature (∼ 300K) is about 1 eV.] 40 (a) Photons in the microwave background are travelling in...

AcetylCoA is considered a high energy molecule because hydrolysis of the thioester bond is very exergonic (∆G is - ). In contrast, the analogous oxyester would not be nearly as exergonic. Why is that? Provide one free energy diagram to show hydrolysis of both a thioester and an oxyester. Also provide an explanation for the difference in stability between thioesters and oxyesters. Your explanation should include relevant electron configurations and orbital overlap considerations

During high-intensity exercise such as sprinting or lifting a very heavy weight, energy is provided to cells by the phosphogen system (or ATP-PC system), which only works for a few seconds. If the diffusion constant of ATP is 3 ×10−10 m2 s-1, how far could this molecule diffuse in 5 seconds? (not 5.477E-5 m)

Supermarkets have very high total energy costs associated with their refrigerators and freezers. However, when they consider whether to stay open for business all night (i.e., never close), the relevant energy costs are extremely small. Why?

Exercise 13-22 Riverbed Machinery Co. manufactures equipment to a very high standard of quality; however, it must still provide a warranty for each unit sold, and there are instances where the machines do require repair after they have been put into use. Riverbed started in business in 2020, and as the controller, you are trying to determine whether to use the assurance-type or service-type warranty approach to measure the warranty obligation. You would like to show the company president how...
