What are the ethical responsibilities of the human service professional to obtain informed consent for disclosures to a third party or for participation in research? What are the risks or challenges with disclosure in a situation where there may be a reason to breach confidentiality (such as potential harm to the client or others)?

About 30% of all human tumors involve cells expressing mutated Ras oncogenes. Additionally, about 20% of the human tumors involve cells with defective PTEN, a phosphatase that convert PIP3 into PIP2. Based on your knowledge of signal transduction pathways, explain the relationship of these mutated genes with tumor cell proliferation.   

The table to the right shows a survey in which 2585 adults from country A were asked if human activity contributes to global warming. Country A is 68%.

Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults from Country a who says human activity contributes to global warming. Round to 3 decimals as needed.

Only 50% of the irradiation on the human skin are absorbed that fall in the range of ?1=0.71 ?? to ?2=1.71 ?? .Radiation with shorter wavelengths than ?1 and longer wavelengths than ?2 are completely absorbed. Assuming the solar surface to be a black surface of temperature 5527C, calculate the fraction of solar irradiation absorbed by the human skin?

In a Human Capital Solow Model. What happens to total capital stock (human and physical) per work, output per worker, output, and consumption per worker over time when:

A) G spending on military ↑
B) G spending on education, infrastructure, healthcare ↑
C) T ↑
D) Foreign Direct Investment (trade) allows domestic investment (I) to ↑

Discussion: Human Among Primates

What to do:

Please read the article 'Human Among Primates?' LINK: https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/tetrapod-zoology/why-humans-are-important-to-studies-of-primate-diversity/ and comment on the assigned article and something that you learned from it. Also, give a thought of whether you think humans are all that different from other primate species.

A number of human-mouse somatic cell hybrid closes were examined for the presence or human chromosomes and the expression of specific human genes. Part of the results are summarized in the table below. Assign each gene to the chromosome on which it is located.

Part 1: Human Resource Planning
Discuss the development of an effective human resource planning process. Be sure to identify the major players and their functions, components of the process, and suggestions to improve the process.

Part 2: Compensation and Rewards
Differentiate among direct financial compensation, indirect financial compensation, and non-financial rewards. Be sure to include specific examples of each.

Programming Human Concentration Human contains a brain that has several thought areas. Awareness is defined by understanding (focusing) of a thought area, and Concentration is defined focusing your awareness into a thought area for a longer duration of time. Using Object-Oriented Design, program this concept to demonstrate concentration.

Design Using Object Oriented Principles ---------------------------------------

Let's first think through all the Classes to be created: 1. Human 2. Brain 3. ThoughtArea You can consider defining properties in each of these classes. Following methods should be written for this project.

You have to decide which classes to put the methods in

1. awareness() 2. focus() 3. concentration()

Design two test cases to show concentration.

Grading Criteria 1. Object Oriented Programming principles are used. 2. Coding conventions are followed. 3. Test runs are provided. 4. Class diagrams are provided.
