All humans share some fundamental
characteristics inherited from their Australopithecus ancestors. But humans share
more characteristics than what was listed on those slides – characteristics also shared
with most animals. One of these is the cell membrane protein ACE-2.
ACE-2 is a highly conserved protein, meaning that mutations in the ACE-2 gene are
rare. Studies of how these rare mutations are distributed across the human world
population are still in early stages (Cao et al. 2020). However, four things are clear:
1) Every human has the ACE-2 protein.
2) ACE-2 gene variations have to do with how many proteins get made (gene
expression) in the body rather than differences in the protein shape itself.
3) ACE-2 gene expression is also affected by environmental factors, including
certain medications.
4) The difference in gene expression between men and women is small; however, it is still very likely to be greater than between different geographic
populations. This is because there is more genetic variation within human populations than among human populations.
Given this information:

Do you think it is reasonable to hypothesize that SARS-CoV-2
could be a bioweapon targeted at a specific ethnic or geographic population?
Explain your answer.

Humans are bipedal, terrestrial omnivores. As a species, we are adapted to a range of habitats, from deserts to mountains and from rain forests to tundra. Ultimately, however, we are descended from early hominids who evolved in African plains, and our body systems reflect this. Determine how the osmoregulatory and excretory systems of a human might be adapted if they had evolved to live in an aquatic freshwater environment.

Consider the following:

• What would be required to maintain water and salt balances, and how the osmoregulatory and excretory systems would have to change to compensate? You are encouraged to look up other (non-human; can be non-mammalian) animals that share these habitats for ideas.
• What if humans had evolved and were adapted to live in very specific habitats? In other words, it would still look *basically* like a human but would have some important differences related to its circulatory and/or breathing systems.
• What would these systems of a human that adapted to a different environment look like, and why would it look like this?
• You should consider the following parts and functions of the osmoregulatory and excretory system in your answer: Kidney – size, activity, Bladder - size, Water retention, Nitrogenous waste type (ammonia, urea, uric acid), Anything else you think is important to osmoregulatory and excretory systems.

The human resource employee recruitment and selection processes are critical to maintaining a competent and fully staffed workforce. Although these processes may have some potential weaknesses, it is incumbent upon the organization to continue to identify these issues and make any required improvements.

This discussion has four parts, as follows:

1. Think about personal experiences that you have had with a human resources department either during recruitment or the hiring process. What role did human resources play in the recruitment and selection processes? Your reply should focus on the tasks of the human resources group that would include items such as determining the need for new employees.
2. Discuss the importance of each step of the recruitment and selection processes. Based on your personal experience, what step do you think is the most important, and why? Your response should provide details of these steps and not simply list the steps.
3. From your personal experiences with the employee recruitment and selection process, what are some problems that you have seen, and what do you think could be improved?
4. Think about a time when you were interviewing for a position. What test or assessment was used during your evaluation? In your response, speak to how the assessment was done and how effective you think it was.

Email that Informs and Requests: Dress Code Controversy

As the Montreal-based director of Human Resources at Sensational, you have not have a good week. The national media recently reported the fact that Sensational- a leading women's fashion chain-has been taken before Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission to defend against a claim by a young woman . The young woman recently applied for a job at a Halifax Sensational location and was told in pre-interview with a manager that "she'd never be hired if she wore her headdress to work." Citing the Commission's website claim that "its against the law to fire an employee because she wear clothing that is required by his religion," the young woman logged a complaint. Head office in Vancouver has been in damage-control mode ever since.

Your Task: Quickly realizing the effects the negative media reporting will have, you draft an email to all employees. The purpose of the email is to reaffirm that Sensational abides by and supports all Canadian Human rights legislation and, at the same time, that employees should not talk to any media that may ask them for comments. You realize that these two messages are somewhat contradictory (one positive, one negative), but you feel time is of the essence.

Clarissa Clifton is a 20-something woman who spent much of the spring day working in her garden. A blustery wind caused her to unintentionally inhale the insecticide that she was spraying throughout the garden. When she began wheezing severely, she was taken to the emergency room!

The attending physician observed other symptoms including:

• Constricted pupils
• Bradycardia (slowed heart rate)

The physician prescribed administration of intravenous atropine sulfate.

1. Which division of the autonomic nervous system that releases acetylcholine (Ach) onto target effectors, is most affected in this case? Name the type of autonomic receptor that binds to Ach versus Norepinephrine. What are the subclasses for each receptor type?
   1. Atropine sulfate is the antagonist of cholinergic system. Cholinergic system is also called as Parasympathetic system. It uses Acetylcholine both as the preganglionic neurotransmitter as well as postganglionic neurotransmitter. There are two types of receptors of the parasympathetic system to where Acetylcholine binds:- muscarinic and nicotinic. Norepinephrine belongs to sympathetic system which has alpha and beta receptors. Muscarinic receptors are of 5 types:- M1, M2, M3,M4,M5. M1 act mainly on the autonomic ganglia and gastric glands. M2 receptors are mainly present on heart. M3 receptors on bronchioles, gastric smooth muscles, iris. M4 and M5 are present in CNS. Nicotinic receptors are of two types:- Nm type (neuromuscular junction) and Nn type (autonomic ganglia).
2. Insecticides contain organophosphates which inhibit acetylcholinesterase. What is the function of this enzyme? Are receptors you listed in #1 more likely to be over or under-stimulated as a result of inhaling insecticides?
   1. Organophosphates are the anticholinesterases. Cholinesterase is an enzyme which is used to hydrolyze the Acetylcholine molecule. It decreases the concentration of Acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft. Anticholinesterases inhibit the enzyme Cholinesterase and lead to increased concentration of Acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft. It leads to prolonged action of parasympathetic system. The receptors will be overstimulated as Acetylcholine remains in the synaptic cleft for long and in high concentration.
3. What are some general physiological behaviors that occur under each division of the ANS (hint what are the sayings we use to describe them)? Do the medical observations made of Clarissa support your answer to #2? Explain why/why not.
4. How would insecticides impact motor activity in the following systems or organs?
   1. Gastrointestinal tract -
   2. Sweat glands -
   3. Bronchioles (airway) -
   4. Coronary vessels (blood vessels supplying heart muscle) –
