Writing a Modular Program in Java
In this lab, you add the input and output statements to a partially completed Java program. When completed, the user should be able to enter a year, a month, and a day to determine if the date is valid. Valid years are those that are greater than 0, valid months include the values 1 through 12, and valid days include the values 1 through 31.

Instructions

1. Notice that variables have been declared for you.
2. Write the simulated housekeeping() method that contains input statements to retrieve a year, a month, and a day from the user.
3. Add statements to the simulated housekeeping() method that convert the String representation of the year, month, and day to ints.
4. Include the output statements in the simulated endOfJob() method. The format of the output is as follows:

   month/day/year is a valid date.
   or
   month/day/year is an invalid date.

5. Execute the program entering the following date:

   month = 5, day = 32, year =2014

   Observe the output of this program.
6. Execute the program entering the following date:

   month = 9, day = 21, year = 2002

   Observe the output of this program.

Calculating the Direct Labor Rate Variance and the Direct Labor Efficiency Variance

Guillermo's Oil and Lube Company is a service company that offers oil changes and lubrication for automobiles and light trucks. On average, Guillermo has found that a typical oil change takes 30 minutes and 6.2 quarts of oil are used. In June, Guillermo's Oil and Lube had 980 oil changes.

Actual number of oil changes performed: 980
Actual number of direct labor hours worked: 485 hours
Actual rate paid per direct labor hour: $15.00
Standard rate per direct labor hour: $14.00

Required:

1. Calculate the direct labor rate variance (LRV) and the direct labor efficiency variance (LEV) for June using the formula approach.

2. Calculate the direct labor rate variance (LRV) and the direct labor efficiency variance (LEV) for June.

Hans Dietz is a 25 year old male patient with a family history of Marfan Syndrome (MFS). He is generally well and enjoys attending regular fitness sessions in his local gymnasium. During a recent gym session, he experienced dizziness followed by a fainting episode. He presented at the emergency department and a new systolic murmur was heard. Mr Dietz subsequently underwent screening for cardiovascular abnormalities associated with his family history of Marfan Syndrome.

Question 1

The fibrous structure of the heart is comprised predominantly of connective tissue proteins.

Describe the microscopic composition of the layers of the mitral valve. Your answer must include a description of the connective tissue element, the cell types found in each layer and how the layers are arranged (i.e. their structure or architecture). (3 marks)            

Question 2

Upon further evaluation with an echocardiogram (cardiac ultrasound), Mr Dietz was found to have an enlarged (dilated) proximal ascending aorta, mitral valve prolapse with myxomatous changes and elongated chordae.

The patient was noted as having myxomatous changes in the mitral valve leaflets and associated elongation of the chordae tendineae. Explain what is meant by the term myxomatous changes. Your answer must include a description of the cellular and structural changes that occur within the valve. (2 marks)

Question 3

Where on the body would be the ideal position for the clinician to auscultate for a systolic murmur associated with the mitral valve? (2 marks)

Question 4

Describe the secondary complications (or consequences) that will occur as a result of the changes in the structure of the mitral valve in a patient with Marfan syndrome. Your answer should link to the clinical sign of the new systolic murmur noted in this patient. (3 marks)

1. List three characteristics that lead to greater job satisfaction among workers and discuss how they might vary by age, gender, and race.

2. Define outsourced family and provide two examples.

3. Describe what is meant by the terms household work and caring work. What types of activities do these terms refer to?

4. Describe a work environment where members feel excluded based on their gender and/or sexuality and/or identity? What changes are needed in this work environment to make it more inclusive?

Part 2: Mid-Length Answer (minimum length is ½ page (double spaced) – could take you 1-1.5 pages)

1. Define alienation and describe why it occurs using Marxism, the social-psychological perspective, Robert Blauner, and Richard Sennett. Describe how you would use intersectionality to explain why certain workers feel more alienation than others.

Part 3: Long Answer (minimum length would be 1 page – double spaced)

2. There are many connections that can be made between COVID-19 and work. Thinking about the topics that we’ve discussed in class (LGBTQ2S+; racial discrimination at work; job satisfaction, alienation, work-related stress; unsafe work and work related injuries; household, family, caring work; and, precarious work), what are some issues facing workers? Use a theory to explain what workers are facing today in the midst of COVID-19. Identify some of the most vulnerable workers right now and explain why they are vulnerable. What can be done to protect the most vulnerable workers (policy changes, physical/structural changes, attitude changes, social changes, etc.)?

Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs announced he was taking a leave of absence for health reasons. Jobs has been fighting cancer and also recently underwent a liver transplant. Even though the computer giant is in good hands with Chief Operating Officer Tom Cook taking over the stock price fell by​ US$6.40, or nearly two​ percent, on the news.

Jobs is widely known as a visionary and a micromanager. Under his leadership Apple has transformed the computing industry. While​ Jobs' health outlook is unknown many investors are betting on his recovery and return. Those who bought Apple stock when Jobs stepped down in 2004 for health reasons made a nice profit when he returned to the helm.

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania studied the humor of late-night comedians Jon Stewart, Jay Leno, and David Letterman. Between July 15 and September 16, 2004, they performed a content analysis of the jokes made by Jon Stewart during the “headlines” segment of The Daily Show and by Jay Leno and David Letterman during the monologue segments of their shows. (We will consider this a random sample of all their jokes.) A summary of the data that they gathered was:  

• Leno: 315 of the 1313 jokes were of a political nature

• Letterman: 136 of the 648 jokes were of a political nature

• Stewart: 83 of the 252 jokes were of a political nature

When this test is run a p-value = 0.0008 is found. Follow-up confidence intervals for all the pairwise differences in proportions are shown below. Explain what information these confidence intervals give you as to which comedian tells a higher proportion of political jokes than the others in the long run and which ones aren’t significantly different (if any).  

• -0.009 to 0.069: Leno – Letterman

• -0.152 to -0.027: Leno – Stewart

• -0.185 to -0.054: Letterman – Stewart
