Effort IT solutions is a software company at AL Dakhaliya region of Sultanate of Oman. The motto of the company is providing software solutions for all the business needs. Currently there are 20 employees in the company. The company is doing well and it has good reputation in the region for its creative and good software solutions. This is because of the highly skilled employees at the company. Mr Abdullah, the managing director of the company is worried these days because of the human resource issues in the company. The employees of the company are getting lucrative offers from its competitors. The company is facing acute problem of labour turnover. Now Mr Abdullah feels that this would increase by the time.
One of the friend of Mr Abdullah who is a business consultant advised him that he should go for Human resource accounting in the company. This would help to identify those employees who are doing well and reward them in order to retain them. He also suggested that this would also help to tackle the problem of employee turnover and maintain the record of the amount spent on Human resources.
After considering the advice given by the consultant, Mr Abdullah wish to implement Human resource accounting in the company. Based on his research he concluded that Historical cost approach would suit best to his company.
a. Why labour turnover is an issue? What is your suggestion to Mr. Abdullah to deal with labor turnover?

b. Do you agree with the advice given by the consultant? Give reasons.

c. Apart from Historical cost approach, which Human Resource accounting approach do you suggest for a software solution company where there are highly skilled employees? Justify your answer.

d. How would the company implement Historical cost approach? Write a brief summary of the process of implementing Human resource accounting with the following costs. Recruitment cost RO 200 a. Hiring and other costs RO 150 b. Training cost RO 350 c. How would you write off these costs over the assumed life of an employee?

Create ER diagram for the following:

A database has been designed for a Human Resources for a school in the UK. The database includes records of the teachers and their holidays. The Dean of this school has the power to approve those holidays for all teachers in the school.   

For each teacher, Human Resources keeps track of the Teacher's ID, name, Cell phone number(s), total number of holidays for each year, number of unemployed holiday days remaining in the present year, age, date of the employment, Department name.

Some teachers may work as supervisors. For those teachers, as well as the attributes mentioned above, we also keep track of the date when they are supervisors, in addition to the total time they spend to be supervisor and their categorical level (Category 1, Category 2, Category 3, Category 4 or Category 5).

The Human Resources Department in the school keeps track every holiday has been taken by each teacher. For each holiday, The Human Resources keep track, Unique holiday ID, the number of days taken (spent) in this holiday, the start day and end day of a holiday. Sometimes (in a few cases), an alternative phone number may be documented for a holiday.

The Human Resources Department in the school keeps track every reward has been taken by each teacher. For each reward, The Human Resources keep track, Unique Reward ID, the number of rewards, Date of a reward, teacher name and the amount of the reward.

Each holiday is documented for only one teacher. A teacher can take many holidays per year. Each holiday has been approved by many supervisors and each supervisor has the power to approve many holidays for many teachers. Each supervisor has the power to approve the holidays for many teachers and each teacher may have many supervisors and may not. Every supervisor has the power to give many rewards to each teacher, but does not have to reward any. Every teacher can get many rewards every year.

Equilibria with Weak Acids & Weak Bases - Results

Solution 1. Use the concentration of NH₃ and the measured pH above to determine the Kb of NH₃. (show the ICE table and calculations)

          Use the equation (Ka*Kb = 1*10^-14) to calculate the Ka for NH₄⁺ ?

Solution 2 Use the equation M₁V₁ = M₂V₂ to calculate new conc. of NH₃.

Conc. of NH₃ ____         pH measured:    10.82

Compare solutions 1 & 2. What effect did diluting the base have on the pH?

• Decreased the pH of the solution.

Use the new concentration and pH to measure the Kb of NH₃ again. Did it change?

Solution 3    Conc. of NH₄⁺                                pH of solution 3: 6.01

Use the diluted concentration of NH₄⁺ and measured pH to determine the Ka of NH₄⁺

How does this Ka value compare to the value on pg. 1? (within a power of 10 is good)

Calculate the concentrations for solution 4 and solution 5

Compare pH of solutions 2&4. What effect did adding NH₄⁺ have on the equilibrium/pH?

Compare the pH from dilution in solutions 1&2 to the pH change in solutions 4 & 5. Why is the pH change smaller for solutions 4&5 than in solutions 1&2? Think above the ratio of base and conjugate acid. You can also show this mathematically by using the Kb from part 1 with NH₃/NH₄⁺ conjugates to determine what the OH- concentration should be.

Note: Solution 4 (page 2) should already be made.                                                                                                                                           (total volume)

Calculate the dilution concentrations of solution 6.

Compare solutions 4 & 6. What effect did NaOH have on the pH of the solution?

If the NaOH concentration from solution 6 was in water by itself (without the buffer), what would the pH be?

Did NH₃ & NH₄⁺ buffer against NaOH? How can you tell?

Calculate the concentrations of solution 7 & 8

Compare solutions 4, 7 & 8. The ingredients are essentially the same, but the solutions of 7 & 8 should have a dramatically different pH.   Why did 7 work as a buffer, but 8 did not? Compare the concentration of NH₃ vs the concentration of HCl.  

Calculate the concentrations of solution 9

a) This solution has equal amounts of acid and base. Why is the pH acidic? Explain.

The relative acidity between carboxylic acids has been used as a means for determining the electron-withdrawing or electron-donating abilities of substituents.

a) The pKa of phenyl acetic acid is 4.31, making it a stronger acid than acetic acid. Is the Ph group electron-donating or electron-withdrawing in this case?

b) The Ph group is a mild o,p-director in EAS reactions. Is the Ph group electron-donating or electron-withdrawing? If the answer contradicts your answer from part a, provide an explanation.

c) 4-Methoxybenzoic acid is a weaker acid than benzoic acid, yet methoxyacetic acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid. Rationalize these seemingly contradictory results.

d) Methyl groups are usually considered electron-donating groups. Propanoic acid is a weaker acid than acetic acid. Is that result in agreement?

We have discussed the major molecules in the cell (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids). You are going to chose one of these molecules and write a convincing argument for why it should be considered the most important of the four. In your argument you must include:

1) A description of the function of all four molecules and why your choice is the most important.

2) A description of the structure of the molecule you have chosen.

3) Four processes/functions that involve this molecule. You do not have to provide each detail of the process but you should describe the general function or process.

4) How this molecules interacts or depends on at least two of the other molecules

1.Human cells can produce perhaps as many as 100,000 different proteins, yet the human genome has only about 25,000 genes. How can you explain this? Name 4 responsible mechanisms.

2.True or false (provide explanation)
a)The consequence of transcription errors is less severe than that of an error in replication.

b) The loss of the p53 protein in certain cancers makes them more resistant to irradiation therapies and to several chemotherapies, which would normally kill cancer cells by inducing apoptosis or stopping the cyclecellular cell.

Crime Prevention: Stop Human Trafficking

Human trafficking affects over 40 million people each year. It is a sad crime that reaches vulnerable populations, such as children. Many have a strong desire to see this crime stopped. One of those is Tom Sabo, who was very disturbed by this issue after attending a human trafficking symposium. He wanted to put his text mining skills into action.

Using text analytics and AI, he was able to create useful models that law enforcement could use. One model pulled together several text-based data sources: police reports, newspaper articles, recent prosecutions, and a shady classified advertising website. The goal was to find relevant patterns in the text that Sabo could then incorporate into a predictive analytics model.

Sabo used the police statements from a specific New York jurisdiction. He then linked this data to other events outside of the state and even outside of the country.

He saw these trends related not only to who was involved, but also, where the events were happening.

This model was subsequently used to identify these situations quicker and allowed law enforcement to act.

Questions:

1. Please identify three most typical BI related technologies used by Tom Sabo in this case study, and briefly discuss how they help Tom in data analysis. [6 marks]

2. As discussed in our lecture, the financial departments of many companies also do predictive analytics. Compare the analytics done by such financial departments and the one by Tom Sabo, what differences can you identify in terms of the technologies applied by them? [4 marks]
