Language is C# (i've got some code but it seems to not run correctly, would love a new take)

Create an Employee class with five fields: first name, last name, workID, yearStartedWked, and initSalary. It includes constructor(s) and properties to initialize values for all fields. Create an interface, SalaryCalculate, class that includes two functions: first,CalcYearWorked() function, it takes one parameter (currentyear) and calculates the number of year the worker has been working. The second function, CalcCurSalary() function that calculates the current year salary. Create a Worker classes that is derived from Employee and SalaryCalculate class. In Worker class, it includes two field, nYearWked and curSalary, and constructor(s). It defines the CalcYearWorked() function using (current year – yearStartedWked) and save it in the nYearWked variable. It also defines the CalcCurSalary() function that calculates the current year salary by using initial salary with 3% yearly increment. Create a Manager class that is derived from Worker class. In Manager class, it includes one field: yearPromo and constructor(s). Itincludes a CalcCurSalary function that calculate the current year salary by overriding the base class function using initial salary with 5% yearly increment plus 10% bonus. The manager’s salary calculates in two parts. It calculates as a worker before the year promoted and as a manager after the promotion. Write an application that reads the workers and managers information from files (“worker.txt” and “manager.txt”) and then creates the dynamic arrays of objects. Prompt the user for current year and display the workers’ and managers’ current information in separate groups: first and last name, ID, the year he/she has been working, and current salary.

Ingrid Smith is a 66-year-old female who has been on dialysis for six months. She is finally getting used to the demanding schedule of spending most of three full days a week preparing for her treatments, traveling to and from the center, and discomfort of being on the machine for hours at a time. She does not like that it takes her away from her grandkids and the comfort of her own home so regularly, but that is a sacrifice she is willing to make. Ingrid has struggled with her weight and her diabetes for a long time. She has been trying to keep all these new rules and restrictions with her diet straight, but it is complicated and her memory is not what it used to be. Lately the dietitian has focused on her consumption of mac and cheese. Apparently, it is bad for her for all kinds of reasons, but this recipe is her claim to fame, it is the one that everyone asks for when she is providing food for events like church functions and birthday parties.

On top of all the stress she is feeling with the changes to her lifestyle that kidney failure has created, she has a deep fear of needles and dreads every time she has to be hooked up to the dialysis machine. Even though it is much easier having a fistula in place, it is still the worst part of her dialysis treatment; even worse than the nausea she feels during treatment. Ingrid is new to your facility. She has expressed that the dialysis staff at her previous facility treated her as though she did not care about her own health or treatment plan, and they were not understanding of her fear of needles. She does care about her health; she wants to watch her grandchildren grow up, she doesn't want her health to keep spiraling down, and she would like to eventually get a kidney transplant. She knows she needs to stay healthy to do all this and feels she has been trying her best to follow the complex rules and endure being hooked up to the dialysis machine.

1, In thinking about your role and how you would interact with Ingrid, how would you ensure she had a warm welcome to the clinic, and show empathy towards her situation knowing what you do about her dietary struggles and fear of needles?

Assume you are the marketing manager of a large electronic equipment manufacturing firm. It is the Spring of the year 2004. Your firm has pioneered an electronic book reader that mimics the reading experience on paper and the test-market results have indicated that the new product will be well received. However, as it is a completely new product on the market, the firm is unsure of adoption rates. You are in charge of a large geographical region in Asia and a third-party market research firm has indicated that the total market size is likely to be 280 million. The task of developing a reliable forecast now rests on your shoulders and you decide to put the learnings from your NPD class to work. As you do not have previous sales information to forecast, you decide to use a bass model based prediction by analogy.

There are two analogous products with their respective precalculated coefficients of innovation (p) and imitation (q). However, you decide to rate the products based on three factors using experts on a 10-point scale in order to use a weighted average technique to determine the final p and q to use. The following table shows the relevant numbers.

Given the information you have, what is the final coefficient of innovation you’d use to compute forecasts using the Bass model by analogy?

What is the final coefficient of imitation you’d use to compute forecasts using the Bass model by analogy?

Using those p and q suggested by the weighted average technique, and market size = 280 million, what will be your forecast of new product adoption for the first year (2004)?

What will be your sales forecast in millions for the year 2006 (third year from launch assuming the same parameters as in previous question)

When will the cumulative sales exceed 50 million units?

In the year 2006, how much of the total annual sales in millions can be attributed to the effect of imitation instead of innovation?

Teenagers who spend an extra hour a day surfing the internet, watching TV or playing computer games risk performing two grades worse in quiz than their peers who don’t, according to research by British scientists.

In a study of more than 800 students aged 14 and 15, researchers from Cambridge University also found that physical activity had no effect on academic performance.

Since this was a prospective study, in which the researchers followed the pupils over time to see how different behaviors affected performance, the scientists said it was reasonable to conclude that too much screen time reduced academic achievement.

“We only measured this.. in Year 10, but this is likely to be a reliable snapshot of participants’ usual behavior, so we can reasonably suggest that screen time may be damaging to a teenager’s grades,” said Kirsten Corder of Cambridge’s Center for Diet and Activity Research, who co-led the work.

The study, published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, found the average amount of screen time per day was four hours.

An extra hour in front of the TV or online at age 14-and-a-half was linked with 9.3 fewer quiz points at age 16 — equivalent to two grades, for example from a B to a D. Two extra hours was linked to 18 fewer points.

Unsurprisingly, the results also showed that pupils doing an extra hour of daily homework and reading scored better - getting on average 23.1 more points than their peers.

The scientists said further research was needed to confirm the effect conclusively, but advised parents worried about their children’s grades to consider limiting screen time.

In a breakdown analysis of different screen activities, the researchers found that TV came out as the most detrimental in terms of quiz performance.
