This question is based on the general equilibrium analysis.

Suppose the world consists of two large countries - the U.S. and Mexico - which trade with one another. Both countries produce and consume two goods: cars (C) and textiles (T). The U.S. has a comparative advantage in the production of cars. Initially, the U.S. has no tariffs, but Mexico has a 10% tariff on its imports. In 1995, NAFTA (a free trade agreement) is implemented, and Mexico removes its tariff. What are the implications of NAFTA for the U.S.? First explain what happens to production and consumption of cars and textiles in the U.S. Support your answer with a PPF graph that shows the U.S. equilibrium both before and after the implementation of NAFTA (plot C on the x-axis). Second, could the U.S. economy be hurt by NAFTA? Explain.

I was completing an ER practicum as a student nurse when I was asked to evaluate a 6-year-old boy who was brought to the ER by his mother. The boy’s mother explained that her son had been stung by a bee on his right index finger a few days prior. She had removed the stinger and washed the area following the incident. Despite her first-aid measures, that morning her son had awoken complaining of pain in the affected area. Upon examining the site, the mother noticed that the area was visibly more reddened than the day before, and the swelling had spread to involve the entire hand and wrist.

The child’s vital signs were normal except for a mild elevation in temperature (37.7°C, or 99.9°F). The affected hand was noticeably swollen, reddened, and warm to the touch. The child cradled his hand and did not use it. When asked, he stated that it “hurt” when he tried to move his fingers. After my examination, the physician on duty examined the boy’s hand and diagnosed him with cellulitis. He prescribed oral antibiotics and instructed the boy’s mother to bring the boy back to the ER if his symptoms worsened.

The patient’s encounter with a bee resulted in a breach of the first line of defense—the skin. The skin is the largest organ of the body and protects the body from the environment. Although few pathogens can penetrate this barrier, bacteria can gain entry through breaks in the skin. In this case, a seemingly innocuous bee sting provided a portal of entry for bacterial invasion.

The symptoms experienced by the patient are typical of the inflammatory response: rubor (redness), calor (warmth), tumor (swelling, or edema), and dolor (pain). The patient also had some loss of function related to discomfort. The symptoms experienced by the patient are evidence that immune components have been attracted to the injury site, and tissue repair and the destruction of microbes are underway.

Research and Review

Please locate this article using an online search engine: Derlet, R.W. and Richards, J.R. (2003). Cellulitis from insect bites: A case series. Cal J Emerg Med 4(2): 27-30. Read the article thoroughly and then answer the questions, linking the introductory case file, the chapter content, and this article.

1. Describe cellulitis, and explain why it is often misdiagnosed as an allergic reaction in the case of insect bites.


2. Summarize the signs and symptoms that occurred after the insect bites in these cases, including their timing.


3. What was the treatment in all seven of these cases, and what does that tell you about the likely causative agents?


4. What microorganisms are usually responsible for most cases of cellulitis? Conducting further research, describe these organisms, including other infections that they can cause?

5. Compare the cases in this article to the boy in the introductory case file.

Tony and Suzie are ready to expand Great Adventures even further in 2022. Tony believes that many groups in the community (for example, Boy Scouts, church groups, civic groups, and local businesses) would like to hold one-day outings for their members. Groups would engage in outdoor activities such as rock climbing, fishing, capture the flag, paintball, treasure hunts, scavenger hunts, nature hikes, and so on. The purpose of these one-day events would be for each member of the group to learn the importance of TEAM (Together Everyone Achieves More).

Tony knows that most people are not familiar with these types of activities, so to encourage business he allows groups to participate in the event before paying. He offers a 5% quick-payment discount to those that pay within 10 days after the event. He also guarantees that at least eight hours of outdoor activities will be provided or the customer will receive a 20% discount. For the first six months of the year, the following activities occur for TEAM operations.

Jan. 24 Great Adventures purchases outdoor gear such as ropes, helmets, harnesses, compasses, and other miscellaneous equipment for $5,000 cash.
Feb. 25 Mr. Kendall’s Boy Scout troop participates in a one-day TEAM adventure. Normally, Tony would charge a group of this size $3,500, but he wants to encourage kids to exercise more and enjoy the outdoors so he charges the group only $3,000. Great Adventures provides these services on account.
Feb. 28 The Boy Scout troop pays the full amount owed, less the 5% quick-payment discount.
Mar. 19 Reynold’s Management has its employees participate in a one-day TEAM adventure. Great Adventures provides services on account for $4,000, and Reynold’s agrees to pay within 30 days.
Mar. 27 Reynold’s pays the full amount owed, less the 5% quick-payment discount.
Apr. 7 Several men from the Elks Lodge decide to participate in a TEAM adventure. They pay $7,500, and the event is scheduled for the following week.
Apr. 14 The TEAM adventure is held for members of the Elks Lodge.
Apr. 30 Myers Manufacturing participates in a TEAM adventure. Great Adventures provides services on account for $6,000, and Myers agrees to pay within 30 days.
May 31 Myers Manufacturing fails to pay the amount owed within the specified period and agrees to sign a three-month, 8% note receivable to replace the existing account receivable.
Jun. 15 Several MBA groups participate in TEAM adventures. Great Adventures provides services on account for $24,000 to these groups, with payment due in July.
  1. Consider the following information as of June 30, 2022.
  1. Suzie estimates uncollectible accounts to be 10% of accounts receivable (which does not include the $6,000 note receivable from Myers Manufacturing). Prepare the adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts. (If no entry is required for a particular transaction/event, select "No Journal Entry Required" in the first account field.)

in JAVA, Hash table

The goal is to count the number of common elements between two sets. Download the following data sets, and add them to your project:

  • girlNames2016.txt
  • boyNames2016.txt

These files contain lists of the 1,000 most popular boy and girl names in the US for 2016, as compiled by the Social Security Administration. Each line of the file consists of a first name, and the number of registered births that year using that name.

Your task is to determine which names appeared on BOTH the boys list and girls list. We want a list of the most popular baby names that could be used for either a girl or a boy (ex. Alex or Drew).

Create a Driver class, and in the main method, use the following algorithm:

  1. Read each girl name as a String, ignoring the number of namings, and add it to a set girlNames.
  2. Read each boy name as a String, ignoring the number of namings, and add it to a set boyNames.
  3. Calculate the intersection of these sets and place the result into a new set unisexNames.
    1. Build this set by iterating through one set, and checking whether the other set contains that element. If so, this element belongs to both sets and should be added to unisexNames.
  4. Print all elements in unisexNames.

Pharmaceutical companies have vociferously fought for the right to advertise and market their products (medications and procedures) directly to the public via mass media to make know the availability to as many persons as possible. This is done primarily under the constitutional right of free speech and freedom of the press. Medical associates have routinely opposed this insisting that the discussion of potential medications directly to the patient absent filtering by the physician leads to patients demanding medication that are not appropriate in their case. Which should be the case and why? Should medication ads be allowed to be mass marketed?

Many investors believe that the stock market’s directional change in January signals the market’s direction for the remainder of the year. This so-called “January Indicator” is frequently cited in the popular press. But is this indicator valid? The accompanying table summarized the relevant changes in the Dow Jones Industrial Average for the period December 31st, 1927 to January 31st, 1981. Based on your analysis, do the data appear to confirm the validity of the January indicator?
