would like a summary for this text below as the content is related to discrimination in the housing market.please you can write the a summary and typing and not write by hand,so that I can read and understand your answer clearly.BR.

1-In the field of discrimination, a number of different variants of surveys have been carried out. One study that we have been inspired by is Barto's study, In the first experiment we study ethnic discrimination in the rental market in the Czech Republic, a market with low selectivity. The study shows the tendency of different forms of discrimination in a group of everyday different markets, including the housing market. Such field trials had often, up to this point, used a personal approach where two testers, one from a majority group and one from a minority group, where they were matched based on their socio-economic characteristics and trained to act the same when interacting with housing. The empirical part as related to previous study, which uses minorities sounding names in applications, to estimate discrimination in the labor market (Jowell and Prescott-Clarke 1970, Bertrand and Mullainathan 2004) and the rental housing market (Ahmed and Hammarstedt 2008, Bosch, et al. 2010, Hanson and Hawley 2011). They consistently find that minority-sounding names lead to lower invitations to a job interview or apartment showing.
In the study Political science as the missing link in housing studies (2009), Bo Bengtsson highlights the difficulties of finding previously carried out research projects on housing policy. Only five research reports are found that describe the housing situation - a vanishingly small part of the total number of published articles. Bengtsson presents five hypotheses about possible explanations and preconceived notions that have influenced housing policy research and believes that all explanations have shortcomings and can therefore be questioned. Among other things, he examines the claim that the state has withdrawn as a player in housing issues and notes that housing, on the contrary, is still a current topic in the public debate, even among politicians. Bengtsson's major contribution to research consists of the fact that he clearly shows what political science as an academic discipline can bring to this area of ​​research.
An ethnic hierarchy can also be seen with regard to the segregation that exists in Sweden. A person's labor market situation explains part of the segregation, but since some groups of immigrants have a worse housing situation despite a better work situation, it is reasonable to conclude that the surrounding society's view of a person's physical character and culture affects their housing opportunities.

This assignment is about unemployment rate.

Select an economy, it can be a country, a state, a city (you can use the data of a US city or a US state, but not the US national data).

Find a chart of the unemployment rate of that economy over the years.

Highlight two periods which show significant changes of the unemployment rate, and discuss the underlying reasons for the changes.

Finally, discuss what we can learn from the unemployment data.

Remember to include links, graphs and pictures in your assignment.

I highlignt the question!!!!!!!

sample assignment

Hong Kong unemployment rate (1981 - 2017)

Unemployment rate remained low in early 1990’s, it even dropped below 2%. After Hong Kong was handed over from UK to China in 1997, unemployment rate rose significantly. It is caused by the Asian financial crisis starting in 1997. Stock market crashed and the fixed exchange rate between Hong Kong dollars and US dollars was challenged by international financial speculators. Together with the fall of housing prices, the wealth of Hong Kong people decreased significantly.

Hang Seng Index (Hong Kong stock market index)

In 2003, we observed another hike in unemployment rate which is due to the outbreak of a deadly epidemic, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. Tourists did not come to Hong Kong, people dared not eat out at restaurants. Unemployment rate jumped to over 8%.

A subway with just a few passengers during SARS epidemic in 2003.

High unemployment rate, deadly epidemic and ineffectual response by the government caused a massive protest in 2003. Over 1 million people went on to street to protest. Given a population of less than 7 million, the public protest is the greatest in the history of Hong Kong.

What can we learn from the unemployment rate data?

The unemployment during the downturn of the economy is mostly cyclical unemployment. A small economy like Hong Kong is particularly vulnerable to shocks, like the financial crisis in 1997 and the epidemic in 2003.

Unemployment rate is the most important indicator watched over by the government, as the public can feel the significance of a high unemployment rate. Meanwhile, the public may not feel so much about a higher GDP growth.

Government works hard to keep the unemployment rate low. Too high the unemployment rate can result in mass protest, which may lead to political unrest if it is not handled properly. Political stability is highly related to low unemployment rate

A round composite bar is used to conduct heat. It is held at 600K at one end and 1000K at the other end but all other surfaces are insulated. The two end pieces of the bar are Stainless Steel (AISI304), and the middle piece is Copper. The length of each piece of the bar is 0.2m (total length is 0.6m) and the diameter is 0.07m.

A) Change the middle piece of the round bar to stainless steel to make the bar of uniform material. Change the boundary conditions to make this bar a fin with a constant base temperature and with an insulated end. Apply convection at all cylindrical surfaces except the base and the tip. The convection coefficient, h = 50 W/(m²·K), and fluid temperature of T_∞ = 300K. Plot the temperature

B) Plot the analytical solution of the temperature distribution for this fin versus the fin length (T vs x). Include your hand calculations.

On October 8th 2020, a CBC article was published that detailed the investment of public funds by both the governments of Canada and Ontario into Ford Motor Company to help them upgrade their Oakville plant for the production of electric vehicles. This upgrade will make the Oakville plant Ford’s largest electric vehicle factory in North America. Both governments described their investment as a “win-win” because they promote employment, technology innovation and “our transition to a low-carbon, clean-growth economy.”

a) Perhaps Ford Motor Company’s decision to accelerate their capacity to manufacture electric vehicles signals their understanding of planetary boundaries. If this were the case, and drawing on concepts from class on business and the natural world, how would electric vehicle production lessen the stress on any specific planetary boundary, and would this strategic shift reflect an adaptation strategy, a mitigation strategy, or both? Explain.
