Describe the historical pattern of growth of the worldwide human population since our origin. Include in this historic overview the changes that have happened technologically, medically, culturally and nutritionally to result in major population changes over time. Relate the growth of the human population to our ecological footprint and explain the idea of limits to population growth known as the carrying capacity. Relative to carrying capacity, what may result from unbridled continued growth of our population? How does the size of the human population contribute to environmental degradation? Why must we take the human population size into account when we attempt to develop environmental restoration projects?

When might a firm’s human resources be seen as an organizational strength? When might a firm’s human resources be seen as a weakness?

Distinguish between corporate, business, and functional strategies. How does corporate and business-level strategies relate to human resource management?

Using Porter’s competitive strategies, how would you describe the business-level strategies of Coles Supermarkets and David Jones? Illustrate your answer with examples.

1.Each DNA base pair weighs, on average, 650 grams/mol. There are 3 billion base pairs in one haploid human genome. How much does one haploid human genome weigh? (Avogadro’s number is 6.02 x 10^23 molecules/mole)

2.How many human genome equivalents are in 20 ng of cfDNA?

Please show how you got to your answer

this semester we have gone over in detail theories of human nature that managers might assume in trying to understand the worker they manage. Describe ALL three theories. In your view, are they really theories of "human nautre" or are they really descriptions of three kinds of organizations or organizational structure that produce one kind of 'human nautre' or another ? you must justify your answer with examples with either personal experience or reference current events

QUESTION 1

Continuous changing of the economic, technological and political conditions caused the Human Resource Managers of the future facing more problems in the management of labor. The Human Resource Managers of today may find themselves outdated in the future due to changes in the environment if they do not update themselves some of the important challenges. If you are the Human Resource Manager, detail out the threats or challenges that would arise and suggest strategies to overcome those challenges.

Prepare a 900- to 1,150-word paper in which you discuss the life span perspective of human development. Be sure to include the following items in your description:

• Summarize three theories related to human growth and development and identify at least one influential theorist for each.
• Identify aspects of the life span perspective.
• Explain how heredity and the environment influence human development.

Use a minimum of two peer-reviewed sources.

Sanitation (fresh water in, human waste out) is the earliest known form of human leaders/governments taking a hand in issues of waste/pollution. Why do you think it was sanitation, as opposed to other wastes we've examined, that got the government involved? Do you think access to sanitation (clean water and a toilet) should be considered a human right, meaning that governments are obligated to provide it even to people who can't afford it?

True or False for all

1. Saturated fatty acids contain one or more double bonds between carbons, reducing the number of hydrogen atoms that can be bound to the structure

2. The triglycerides found in food contain a combination of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids

3. Triglycerides must be broken down into smaller components for absorption; after they are absorbed, they are resynthesized back into triglycerides to be transported around the body

4. A chylomicron contains diet-derived triglycerides and is absorbed directly into the bloodstream from the small intestine.

5. B-oxidation is the process of cleaving a fatty acid into two carbon segments and converting them to acetyl-CoA.

6. Ketone bodies can be produced as a result of fat metabolism, and an overreliance on fat metabolism can result in ketosis, which has been shown to be beneficial for optimal athletic performance.

7. During prolonged steady-state exercise (as with marathon running), there is a reduced reliance on carbohydrate and an increased dependence on fat oxidation for energy.

8. The percentage of energy derived from fat metabolism increases as activity and exercise intensity increases

9. Caffeine may increase the mobilization of fatty acids during exercise, but it does NOT appear to improve performance due to increased fat metabolism.

10. The daily recommendation of fat is independent of the other macronutrients and total energy

11. If done correctly, a reduction in dietary fat intake can be a strategy that results in the safe loss of body fat

12. Olives, sesame seeds, and flax seeds all contain fat

13. The typical American diet is usually too high in fat for an athlete in training

14. Both caffeine and carnitine supplementation have been shown to be effective for improving endurance performance and high-intensity activities lasting up to 20 minutes.

15. Omega-3 fatty acid supplements have been shown to reduce inflammation in athletes.
