Can you paraphrase the following rationale, thank you!
1. Which function is carried out by all lymphoid tissues and organs?
a. Filtration of lymph
b. Filtration of blood
c. Extramedullary hemopoiesis
d. Production of lymphocytes
e. Destruction of old erythrocytes
Rationalization: Filtration of blood, extramedullary hemopoiesis, destruction of old erythrocytes occurs in spleen, but filtration of lymph occurs in lymph nodes. All of the lymphoid tissues and organs function in the production of lymphocytes
2. Which structure is partly encapsulated and covered by nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium?
a. Appendix
b. Lymph node
c. Palatine tonsil
d. Peyer’s patch
e. Thymic (Hassal’s) corpuscle
Rationalization: Palatine tonsil is located in the posterior lateral walls of the oral cavity, it means that it is prone to abrasion and stratified squamous forms thick layer of cells to protect against abrasion and acts as a mechanical barrier.
3. Which cell type gives rise to both memory and effector cells and is primarily associated with humoral immunity?
a. B lymphocyte
b. Nk cell
c. Macrophage
d. T lymphocyte
e. Reticular cell
Rationalization: Given with the clue “humoral immunity” B lymphocyte is known to be responsible for secreting antibodies (specifically Plasma B-cell)
4. Recycling of iron and heme, the major complex containing iron, occurs most actively in which lymphoid organ(s)/ tissue?
a. Lymph nodes
b. Peyer’s patch
c. Tonsils
d. Spleen
e. Lymphatic vessels
Rationalization: Spleen is responsible for filtration of blood
5. Which description is true of all secondary (peripheral) lymphoid organs?
a. Capable of antigen-independent lymphopoiesis
b. Contain crypts
c. Contain epithelial-reticular cells
d. Lack connective tissue capsules
e. Contain lymphoid nodules
Rationalization: Antigen-independent lymphopoiesis occurs in primarily in lymphoid organs, secondary lymphoid organs are surrounded by connective tissue
6. Which structure would be most heavily labeled by an immunohistochemical method targeting the CD8 surface antigen
a. Germinal centers
b. Paracortex
c. Peyer’s patch
d. Sheathed arterioles
e. Splenic cords
Rationalization: The paracortex of contains lymphoid tissue rich in T-cells distinguishable by immunohistochemistry.
7. A baby is born with a cleft palate and a condition called DiGeorge syndrome, which involves failure of third and fourth pharyngeal pouch derivatives to develop properly. The palate defect is corrected surgically, but regarding the pharyngeal pouch defect the parents are advised that the growing child may expect which of the following health problems?
a. Insufficient B-cell production by lymph nodes in the head and neck
b. Inability to secrete IgA
c. Excessive numbers of circulating but defective erythrocytes
d. Increased oral infections due lack of palatine and pharyngeal tonsils
e. Conditions related to autoimmunity
Rationalization: There are common problems that occur in DiGeorge syndrome such as heart defects, hypothyroidism, thymus gland dysfunction, cleft palate and developmental problem. Due to small or absence of thymus, may have increased risk of autoimmune diseases.
8. Many immune-related cellular activities are often impaired in aged patients. Which lymphoid organ(s) normally develop less functionality and increasing amounts of adipose tissue with age?
a. Axillary lymph nodes
b. Lingual tonsils
c. Thymus
d. Splenic white pulp
e. Splenic red pulp
Rationalization: Because as we grow old, thymus gland begins to deteriorate and less functional. Thymus is the site of T-lymphocyte differentiation and selection, it is most active during neonatal and pre-adolescent period.
9. A 12-year-old girl of African descent presents with anemia and a large percentage of her peripheral erythrocytes appear sickle-shaped. Genetic testing reveals homozygosity for sickle cell disease. In which of the following sites will the abnormal RBCs be removed from the circulation?
a. Thymic cortex
b. Periarteriolar lymphoid sheathes of splenic white pulp
c. Medullary sinuses of lymph nodes
d. Thymic medulla
e. Splenic cords (of Billroth)
Rationalization: Because the red pulp is composed almost entirely of splenic cord (of Billroth) and splenic sinusoids and it the site where the effete RBC in blood are removed.
10. A 6-year-old boy is brought to the clinic where his mother reports that he was bitten by a neighbor’s dog two days earlier. The child’s right hand is lacerated between the thumb and index finger and this area is inflamed but healing. The doctor’s examination reveals small but painless swellings beneath the skin inside the right elbow and armpit and he explains to the mother that these are active lymph nodes enlarged in response to infection in the hand. What has produced swelling?
a. Increased flow of lymph through the nodes’ afferent lymphatics
b. Formation of germinal centers for B-cell proliferation in each node’s cortex
c. Arrival of antigen-presenting cells in each node’s medulla
d. Enlargement and increased activity of the nodes’ high endothelial venules
e. Increased thickness of each node’s paracortex
Rationalization: It was the immune response of B-cell to invading pathogens. Antibodies are secreted by plasma cells that arise by terminal differentiation.

Case 92: Dirty Employees or Bioterrorism
I NEED A CASE WRITE UP DONE BASED ON THIS CASE! AN EXAMPLE HAS BEEN PROVIDED ON THE LAYOUT OF HOW IT NEEDS TO BE DONE
“In a nearly unbelievable chapter of Oregon history, a guru from India gathered 2,000 followers to live on a remote eastern Oregon ranch. The dream collapsed 25 years ago amid attempted murders, criminal charges and deportations” (Zaitz, 2011a). The following case is based on true events.
In 1981, in The Dalles (pronounced The Dowells), Oregon, a religious cult called the Rajneeshees tried to register 3,500 homeless street people so they could take over the county government and become one with The Dalles, a merger of church and state. The Rajneeshees were politically savvy and well organized. The Dalles had 14,000 non-cult voters, but the county clerk recognized the threat of the cult and stopped the registration of these Rajneeshees’ “adoptees.” The clerk then forced each person to come to hearings to determine voting eligibility.
At around the same time as the political upheavals, 751 people fell ill with nausea, diarrhea, headache, and fever, overwhelming the local hospital’s ED. Local doctors quickly identified the causative organism as Salmonella typhimurium. Using standard epidemiological methods, the public health department was able to trace every case of Salmonella to salad bars at area restaurants. One in particular was hard hit, the Shakey’s Pizza. The owner was devastated with loss of sales and liability claims when over 400 customers became ill. Was it “dirty employees” who did this to him and his business? Health officials closed his restaurant, leaving his life in a shambles. The food-borne illnesses seemed to stop with the arrival of an army of public health inspectors who maintained vigilance over the food supply.
A year later, during an FBI probe into the Rajneeshees for wiretapping and fraud, an informant suggested that the cult was responsible for this food-borne outbreak.

Case Write-Up
Background Statement
A Wiccan patient who visited a nondenominational community hospital was discussing her religious beliefs with her primary care nurse, Penny Baker, when suddenly another nurse, Ruth Goose, walked into the conversation and rudely stated, “Thou shalt not suffer a witch amongst you.” The Wiccan nurse felt offended and complained that she was discriminated in the hospital because of her religious beliefs.
Major Problems and Secondary Issues
The major problem is that the two nurses, Penny Baker and Ruth Goose, made the patient feel unwelcomed in the nondenominational community hospital because of her Wiccan religious beliefs. The secondary issues that the nondenominational community hospital may face is that the Wiccan patient is threatening to go to the media. This means that there may be news coverage that your hospital engages in religious discrimination. This may make people, especially Wiccans, look down on your medical services.
Your Role
In this case, I am the Vice President of Nursing Services. As stated in the text, it writes, “You are the Vice President of Nursing Services in a nondenominational community hospital, and you receive a complaint from a patient, who is a Wiccan.” The advantages of this role are that I can sit down with Penny and Ruth to let them know that religious discrimination is not to be tolerated while we are caring for the patients. The disadvantages of this role are that I must decide how I am going to discuss this matter with Penny and Ruth because they’re passionate about being against the Wiccan patient. I need to let Penny and Ruth know that our patient’s care matters above everything else, not what religion they practice.
Organizational Strengths and Weaknesses
As the Vice President of Nursing Services, my strengths are that I can hold a training on racial, ethnic, and religious diversity. This training can supplement nurses with the information they need to work in a diverse environment. Nurses need to know that they must treat their patients justly despite their identity. The weaknesses I may face are that the two nurses are very religious themselves. They may not listen to what I have to say about religious discrimination because the two nurses try to justify their act by saying, “She did the right thing. We don’t have to pray with witches. They worship Satan. It’s blasphemy. What’s next? Human sacrifice?”
Alternatives and Recommended Solution
As a solution for this problem, I will make sure to provide all the nurses working in the hospital with diversity training. It is important that I sit down with the nurses and make it clear that discrimination will not be tolerated while they are working in our hospital. I can also offer every patient visiting the hospital with a survey. The patient can fill out the survey to let us know how they felt about their stay. Nurses who’ve been accused of any sort of discrimination, will have to speak with management. We would keep these incidences of discrimination in a file, and it the dilemma does not change, I would have to begin writing up the nurses. Discrimination would not be tolerated while the patient is in the hospital trying to recover from a medical condition. I would also recommend Penny and Ruth write an official letter of apology to the Wiccan patient before she decides to go to the media. Writing the official letter of apology would be my first recommended solution to Penny and Ruth, so that the patient does not feel unwelcomed to our hospital’s services in the future.
Evaluation
If there are enough surveys to prove that our medical treatment is getting better and there are less patients coming from the patients about discrimination, then I would know that the instances of discrimination have stopped. The goal is to aid in the medical recovery of patients. Patients must also feel welcomed to our hospital services despite their identity. By getting fewer, or even better, no discrimination complaints, I would know that my diversity trainings and meetings have worked.

5 Lessons Learned from the Mattel Product Recalls of 2007:
Learning from the faults of others can be a useful training tool. However, when it’s your company’s name being tossed around in discussions of what not to do, you need to do something…fast. In 2007, toy company Mattel embarked on four major product recalls. The recalls were the result of large quantities of lead found in the paint used in a number of their products. Mattel, like many other companies, uses contractors in China to manufacture products. This case raises supply chain concerns, bringing to light the importance of quality control and keeping an eye on the actions of your overseas operations and partners.
Here are 5 key lessons learned from the crisis at Mattel:
1. Always Act Fast
A quick reaction won't solve all of your problems, but failing to do so, will open up a new can of worms to deal with.
Confront the issues, don’t hide from them. In Mattel’s case, the company was very public about the recalls and the CEO even issued a public apology. A quick reaction makes it easier for companies to cope with and take control of the situation. Reacting quickly helps companies score “bonus points” with the public, slightly reducing the negative impact that the recall has on the company’s reputation. When companies are slow to react or spend most of their time placing blame on others, the public reacts negatively, criticizing companies for their negligence and irresponsibility. A quick reaction won’t solve all of your problems, but failing to do so, will open up a new can of worms to deal with.
2. Keep an Eye on Your Supply Chain
To save on costs, Mattel has shipped manufacturing overseas to China. Having multiple offices and operation sites makes it difficult to keep an eye on day-to-day operations. According to the Financial Times Press article “Trouble in Toyland: New Challenges for Mattel–and ‘Made in China’,” one of the main issues in the lead paint crisis at Mattel was that the Chinese contractors had subcontracted the painting of the toys to another company that used inferior and unauthorized products. A lot of companies get caught in similar traps.
3. Take Responsibility
Be the bigger person and take the blame- public finger pointing isn’t going to get you anywhere. In the Reuters article “Mattel Sued Over Toy Recall,” it was reported that Mattel’s CEO stated that the company was increasing the aggressiveness of toy testing methods, which would likely result in additional recalls as a precautionary measure.
4. Tighter Regulations and Inspections
In the Wall Street Journal article, “Mattel Settles Suit Over Lead in China-Made Toys,” author John Kell writes:
“Toy makers were hurt by a number of product recalls in 2007, leading to millions of dollars in costs for testing, legal expenses, advertising and product returns. Mattel recalled millions of toys that year, including those produced under licenses for characters including Elmo, Big Bird, Barbie and Polly Pocket. The issue later led to mandatory federal toy-safety standards, which included testing and tough new regulations for lead and chemicals in products intended for children under 12.”
5. Take Action and Communicate
During a crisis, such as the one experienced by Mattel, a lot of business leaders say that changes are going to be made and policies will be followed more consistently- but do they actually follow up on their word once the storm has passed? Don’t say something just to look good in front of the public, they will know if you mean it or not. I recommend giving weekly updates and using the power of social media to communicate to consumers about the progress your company makes as it works toward a solution. If 100 products have been tested, let the public know. There are enough resources available to you today to control the media and communicate your commitment to your consumers. It’s never more important than in a time of crisis to communicate and reassure the public that things will be alright.

Euler’s Method and Introduction to MATLAB
>> 2+2
If you want to suppress the output of a command follow it with ‘;”. For example >>2+2;
Practice evaluating a few expressions in the command window. (In MATLAB multiplication is represented by * so 3*2=6).
Variables can be vectors. For example >>x=[1 2 3] creates a row vector with three components: x(1)=1, x(2)=2, and x(3)=3. Try it. What happens when you set x=[1;2;3]?
Now that you have created the function g(x,y) you can evaluate it at different x and y values. For example, to compute g(1,2), just type: >>g(1,2) and hit enter. Also compute g(2,2). Why is g(1,2)=g(2,2)?
When you open the file euler_method.m you will see that the lines of the function are numbered along the left hand side of the window. Look at the first line:
function [x,y] = euler_method(f,h,x0,y0,xn).
This line creates a function called euler_method in MATLAB.
The variables in square brackets are the outputs of the function. These variables are returned to the command window after the function is called. This function returns variables called x and y. The variables in round brackets are the inputs of the function. This function has five inputs. What are they?
The % symbol is used to comment out text. This means that whatever appears after a % sign is not executed as part of the code. Explanations are placed after a % symbol. Read the comments that describe how the function euler_method.m works.
Note: MATLAB updates the value of the index i with each iteration of the loop, so the command i=i+1 need not appear inside the loop.
In the command window type [x,y]=euler_method(g,h,0,1,1) to solve the initial value problem, dy/dx=g(x,y); y(0)=1, for h=.25, .125, .0625, and .03125. Each time you run euler_method, a plot showing the approximate solution as a function of x will be produced. Edit these plots to include axes labels and titles, and insert them here.

Question 3
a) Modern Day Gospel Fellowship is a non-denominational charity
organisation established in 2001. The charity’s aim is to provide
support to children from disadvantaged backgrounds. The support
comes in two folds i.e. academic such as scholarships and related
academic activities and sports such as tennis, swimming and
football. The aim is to provide total well-being to humanity.
Modern Day Gospel Fellowship has detailed constitution which
explains how the charity’s income can be spent. The constitution
also notes that the administration expenditure cannot exceed 6% of
annual income.
The charity’s income is derived wholly from voluntary donations
which includes:
• Cash collected from public donations by volunteers.
• Cheques sent to the charity’s head office.
• Donation from generous individuals. Some of these donations have
specific clauses attached to them indicating that the initial
amount donated (capital) cannot be spent. However, the income
(interest) from the donation can only be spent on specific
activities, for example, provision of sport equipment and
scholarships.
• The rules regarding the taxation of charities in the country
where Modern Day Gospel Fellowship is based are complicated, with
only certain expenditure being allowable for taxation purposes and
donations of capitals being treated as income in some
situations.
You are required to:
i. Identify areas of inherent risk in Modern Day Gospel Fellowship
and explain the effect of each of this risk on the audit
approach.

each case, the year-end of the company is 30 August 2019.
i. Mimie Company (Profit before tax Ghc 750,000)
On 6 September 2019 a letter was received informing the company
that a customer, who owed the company Ghc 150,000 as at the
year-end had been declared bankrupt on 30 August. At the time of
the audit it was expected that unsecured creditors, such as Mimie,
would receive nothing in respect of this dept. The directors refuse
to change the financial statements to provide for the loss, on the
grounds that the notification was received by the statement of
financial position date.
Total debts shown in the statement of financial position amounted
to Ghc
2,375,000.

ii. Kokuvi Company (Profit before tax Ghc 2,500,000)
On 20 July 2019 a customer sued the company for personal damages
arising from a defect in one of its products. Shortly before the
year-end, the company made an out-of-court settlement with the
customer of Ghc 50,000, although this agreement is not reflected in
the financial statements. Further, the matter subsequently became
known to the press and was extensively reported. The company’s
legal advisers have now been informed that further claims have been
received following the publicity, although they are unable to
replace a figure on the potential liability arising. The company
has referred to the claims in a note to the financial statements
stating that no provision has been made because the claims are not
expected to be material.

iii. Baaba Na Company (profit before tax Ghc 1,250,000)
The audit work revealed that a trade investment stated in the
statement of financial position at Ghc 2,500,000 has suffered a
permanent fall in value of Ghc 1,500,000. The company has refused
to put an impairment charge through for it on the grounds that
other investments (not held for resale) have risen in value and are
stated at amount considerably below their realisable values.

Kelly Kneppy owns a company that manufactures and sells camping equipment and outdoor gear. Kelly’s latest creation is the Bear-B-Gone, a tent constructed of Kevlar and reinforced steel mesh that could theoretically protect campers (who hadn’t followed appropriate food storage guidelines) from bear attacks. Kelly believes the Bear-B-Gone offers many of the same desirable features as other tents on the market, and that this extreme safety feature will make it one of the best-selling tents in short order.
Kelly can make the Bear-B-Gone with one of two available technologies. The first is a labor-intensive process, that if chosen will require $720,000 per year in fixed overhead costs, and the following in variable costs of production per unit: direct materials of $45, direct labor of $65, and overhead of $15. The second technology is a more automated (machine-dependent) process, that if chosen will require $1,540,000 per year in fixed overhead costs, and the following in variable costs of production: direct materials of $40 (savings due to less waste in the automated process), direct labor of $5, and overhead of $60. Kelly believes she can sell the tent for $175.
