The topic of this week's forum is a broad one--humanity's future. You have learned how human evolution has been shaped by forces such as the physical environment, antagonistic and symbiotic relationships with other species, disease, and human cultural interactions. Now share your predictions for the future of human evolution. What biological changes in humans will occur over the next centuries? How might forces such as climate change, disease, genetic technology, and globalization affect us? Do you think our physical appearance will change substantially (are we going to grow ever-enormous brains for example)? Try to apply what you have learned about evolutionary and biocultural forces in making your predictions. You are free to be imaginative and speculate here--so long as you provide a rationale for your predictions!

Consider this scenario:

I am the owner of a burger store and I want to expand my business.

I need to prepare a human resource management plan to show an overview of my human resource management system.

This plan is the bigger picture that shows the synergy between all my human resource management functions.

I need to do to an overview on how important my employees (chef, waiters, restaurant manager) are in making or breaking my business expansion.

Please provide me with an appropriate answer on how to show the synergy between all my HRM functions (Recruitment, selection, training, performance appraisal) in my expansion plan.

Note:

If you are not sure how to fulfill the requirements needed, please do not attempt the question.

Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you.

Essay The Human Genome Project   (No more than 3 pages, 1.15 spacing, Calibri or other standard font)

write an essay summarizing the Human Genome Project (HGP). Using a narrative format, include in your essay:

the goal and scope of the HGP

the research groups and countries that worked on the Project

the time period of the project and critical dates

the key research techniques and technologies that played major roles in the project

the key findings about the human genome

At least two major reasons why studying the genomes of other species is important to biology?

Two-three accomplishments and two challenges resulting from the completion of HGP, as expressed by some of the leading scientists, 10-15 years later.

Your thoughts about learning about the HGP and its promises and challenges.

Deliver a 700- to 1,050-word transcript of the speech you would give, including the following:

• Discuss factors that lead to genetic variations in a population by using the Hardy-Weinberg law that describes allele frequencies in a population.
• Explain how animal behaviors, including human behaviors, are governed by genetic inheritance.
• Explain how the laboratory mouse has become a valuable model organism for the study of development and genetics.
• What other animal models are used?
• What contribution(s) has research using Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster made in the study of animal behavior and population genetics?
• Elaborate on the future of human disease diagnosis using the data from the Human Genome Project.
• Provide sufficient examples to make the speech relevant to high school students.

Do we have a moral obligation to the non-human biotic network of life and inanimate matter? Sometimes, this vast network is called 'the environment'. Human influence upon the environment has been profound, in the last few thousand years, but particularly so in the last 300 years, with the start of the Industrial Revolution that has helped to make our species ubiquitous and dominant among the other species. One a small side-line species, now, human beings are 'king of the hill'. The price of this dominance is overdevelopment, pollution on an epic scale. As we survey our natural world and what our species has done to it, often for the worse, what moral obligation have we to change our manner and collective 'footprint' on the planet - and other planets, if we include our nascent space programs?

1. What are some of the reasons that staff may be resistant to or even fearful of evaluation?

2. How could evaluation be made non-threatening or even valued for workers in human service agencies?

3. What is the administration’s role in evaluations?

4. Think of the agency where you currently work, or the one in which you wrote about earlier in the module, when answering the following questions:

How effective is the agency's planning and program design in responding to the needs of the social problems/customer it was intended to address or provide services too?

Does the agency have effective human resources and supervision practices to ensure success to meet the agency's goals?

What are the administrative roles in the agency and how does this affect staff, clients, and the human service agency environment?

Does the agency formally evaluate itself?

2. Compared with the nearest evolutionary relative, the chimpanzee, the human has a brain that is
huge. At a point in the past, a common ancestor gave rise to the two species of humans and
chimpanzees. That evolutionary history is long and is still an area of intense study. But
something happened to increase the size of the human brain relative to the chimpanzee.
Read this article in which the author explores the current understanding of why this happened.

Answer: According to one hypothesis about the expansion of brain size, what tissue might have been sacrificed so energy was available to grow our larger brain?
Based on what you know about that tissue and nervous tissue, why would there be a trade-off between them in terms of
energy use?

A circus act involves launching a human being from a cannon resting on the floor. The human has a 50 kg mass and is launched at a speed of 12 m/s, in a direction 30° up from the horizontal. The cannon has a mass of 110 kg. (a) Considering the system as cannon + human, state why the x-component of the momentum is conserved. (b) Find the recoil speed of the cannon. (c) It would be dangerous to use explosives, so the performer is actually launched from a loaded spring inside the barrel, compressed 1.7 m from its equilibrium position. Find the spring constant needed to achieve the launch + recoil. (d) You will note that the y-component of the net momentum is NOT conserved, since the performer flies up in the air. Why is the x-component conserved but the y-component not?

Increasing the levels of automation in systems presents several challenges, including that of the degree of coupling between the human agent and the machine or software agents. As system complexity escalates, the design tends toward designating either the human or the machine to direct the decision processes. In this sense, human-automation coordination designs are limited by the mindset that technology and people are independent components. Functional interface concepts for joint cognitive systems have been likened to performance characteristics of a team of individuals. Rather than one individual directing, the individual interactions form the team’s performance. This goes to the heart of the matter in understanding a cognitive system. Since a cognitive system is defined by its ability to modify patterns of behavior on the basis of past experience, how might the issue of humans versus machine agents be reconciled so they are jointly creating the system’s cognition? Describe an approach you might take in designing a cognitive system that would incorporate adaptable learning as a result of human and machine agent coupling. Address one or more design principles for interface agent modeling that apply to such a mixed initiative and explain strengths and limitations involved. Prepare a conceptual design paper,
