do you think there are purposes to which we might put a human being which in simply doing them would violate or harm the human being in some fundamental and/or significant way? Why or why not? Would such violations or harms constitute a limit to our purposes? Would such a “limit” obligate us to act in certain ways and avoid other actions

1. First example where Technology enables us to change our environments. Discuss how can this be a H2M relationship that is Symbiotic and cooperative.
2. Second example where Technology changes us and drive us to change ourselves and our behavior as humans. Discuss how can this be or become a Human to Machine (H2M) confrontation and a clash of human vs. machine

Machine guards are barriers used to prevent the entry of any part of the human body into the moving equipment. Safety devices are controlling devices that stop or interrupt the machine’s operation when a part of the human body accidentally touches the machine. Write a short note on it various types of machine guard and sensors used in oil and gas industry (each 2.5 marks).

Now that you are thinking about graduate school and signaling vs. human capital; What do you think explains the fact that law schools accept students with a wide array of majors while medical school typically requires students to have a specific science based major? Write a brief response using the language of signaling vs. human capital.

Human bones and the bones of other vertebrates share the same anatomical plan. They are homologous structures rather than analogous structures such as a dragonfly wing and bird wing. Comparing and contrasting the anatomy of similar organisms assists with understanding of how the body is put together.
Check out the limbs figure on this webpage: Homologous Structures. Pick one of the animal limbs for the discussion below (horse, cat, bat, bird, or whale limb).
1. In your own words, explain two ways in which the animal limb bones are similar to human limb bones.
2. In your own words, explain two ways in which the animal limb bones are different from human limb bones.

Sickle cell anaemia: The selective forces that a population experiences can vary by context, especially by geographic place.
a. Explain how natural selection affects the evolution of haemoglobin in humans and how and why the selective pressures differ among human populations. Use Africa and Europe as examples of human populations, give genotypes and explain selective pressures.
b. Is natural selection on haemoglobin in African populations best described as disruptive, stabilizing or directional selection?
c. Is natural selection on haemoglobin in Australian populations (no malaria) best described as disruptive, stabilizing or directional selection?
d. For human populations living in Australia (no malaria), do you expect the Hs allele to eventually go extinct? Explain why or why not.

"Looking Back and Ahead"
Class: Health Information Systems
Review the course outcomes. Looking back on everything you have learned in this class,
what has been the most surprising or interesting lesson learned? Why?
Predict what the focus of health information systems will be ten (10) years from now. Justify your post with examples.
Additionally, consider an example of a human technology interface in healthcare, from clinical technology to administrative or electronic data.
Propose one way the future of healthcare will improve with Human Interface Technology.
Next, provide one (1) example of how Human Interface Technology could hinder future healthcare delivery. Justify your response.

1. What is the opportunity cost of investing in capital?
a) The loss of consumption that results from redirecting resources toward investment
b) Higher taxes
c) Improved technology that leads to faster growth
2. True or False: If the extra output produced from an additional unit of capital falls as the stock of capital rises, the country is possibly overinvesting in capital.
3. What is the opportunity cost of investing in human capital?
a) Lower taxes
b) Improved technology that leads to faster growth
c) The goods or resources that could be produced if not investing in human capital
4. True or False: A country is possibly overinvesting in human capital if the best job a Ph.D. in philosophy can find is managing a restaurant.

Flex-time and telework have become the new norm due to the global pandemic. The issue of ‘netiquette’ or behaving appropriately during online business meetings is increasingly becoming a concern for managers and organisations. Examine three of these inappropriate behaviours and make recommendations .
