Many consider early and middle adulthood times of relatively little growth, but adults encounter a multitude of tasks and changes during these phases. For instance, the quality of relationships change, vocational choice might be solidified, formal education might be completed, parenting responsibilities might be present, and changes in physical capacities might set limits on behavior. An adult's perceived success or failure can influence his/her sense of self and ability to accomplish tasks and navigate changes in early and middle adulthood.

In the United States, individuation is an important aspect of adulthood. Individuation refers to processes by which you become a unique individual with a distinct sense of identity. The process is sometimes identified as separation-individuation (Berger, 2016). Adulthood is the period in which roles change from that of a dependent child to a more autonomous individual with different responsibilities and commitments.

Boucher and Maslach (2009) discuss how the type of culture—individualistic or collectivistic—can influence the degree of individuation. Think about how cultural differences can influence the changes that adults face during early and middle adulthood. The influence of culture on these changes impacts individuation. Consider collectivist societies that value conformity over individuality. How does that impact an individual's sense of uniqueness?

1. Select one aspect of adulthood (identity development, vocational development, relationships, or parenting).

2. Post a description of the aspect of adulthood you selected.

3. Then, explain individuation in terms of that aspect. Include an explanation of the challenges that might influence individuation.

4. Be specific and provide examples from the Learning Resources. Use proper APA format and citations.

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).

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.

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?

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.

In a 1993 article in Accounting and Business Research, Meier, Alam, and Pearson studied auditor lobbying on several proposed U.S. accounting standards that affect banks and savings and loan associations. As part of this study, the authors investigated auditors’ positions regarding proposed changes in accounting standards that would increase client firms’ reported earnings. It was hypothesized that auditors would favor such proposed changes because their clients’ managers would receive higher compensation (salary, bonuses, and so on) when client earnings were reported to be higher. The following table summarizes auditor and client positions (in favor or opposed) regarding proposed changes in accounting standards that would increase client firms’ reported earnings. Here the auditor and client positions are cross-classified versus the size of the client firm.

You will need to type in the FOUR pieces of data into Minitab, along with column headings LARGE and SMALL (firms). Data go into the white cells in Minitab, starting with row 1. Column headings go in the grey shaded cells in Minitab. Do not type in the totals, as those are not new pieces of data.

a) Auditor Positions

(b) Client Positions

On January 2, 2003, Alexander, together with a number of relatives and friends, established Chemalite, Inc.; 500,000 shares were issued, of which Alexander received 125,000 in exchange for his patent, and the remainder were sold to the other investors at $1 per share. During the period January 2, 2003, through June 30, 2003, Chemalite, Inc., made the following expenditures:

• January 15—Paid $7,500 in legal fees, charter costs, and printing expenses associated with the incorporation of the company.
• June 15—Spent $62,500 building the machinery that would be used to produce the first commercial models of the Chemalite.
• June 24—Purchased $75,000 worth of plastics and chemicals for use in the production of commercial Chemalites. ‘

Between January 2 and June 30, the company’s bank balance had fallen from $375,000 to $230,000.

During the last half of 2003, Chemalite, Inc., did indeed go into full operation. To prepare for the shareholders’ meeting in early January 2004, Bill Murray, the firm’s recently hired bookkeeper, produced the following data:

1. In early July 2003, a consulting engineer delivered the prototypes of the Chemalite that he had been developing, and he was paid a total of $23,750.
2. During the six months from July to December 2003, Chemalite sold $754,500 of its product. The largest single purchaser, the auto parts distributor with whom Peterson had negotiated, still owed Chemalite, Inc., $69,500. All other customers’ accounts were paid in full by year- end.
3. Additional chemicals and plastics were purchased for a total of $175,000. All of these purchases were paid for in cash.
4. Chemalite, Inc., spent $22,500 on television and trade journal advertising to introduce the product.
5. During the six months ended December 31, 2003, the company expended $350,000 on direct manufacturing labor and on manufacturing-related overhead (rent, utilities, supervisory labor). An additional $80,000 was spent on corporate salaries and other corporate expenses.
6. In early July, a further $150,000 was spent on machinery to be used in the production of Chemalites.
7. During the period, the company had borrowed $50,000 for a short time and repaid the loan by year-end. The interest paid on the loan amounted to $750.

In preparing his state-of-the-corporation report, Alexander noted with some anxiety that the company’s bank balance had fallen a further $117,000 from the $230,000 reported in June to only $113,000. It bothered him because he believed that the company was really doing quite well, and he failed to understand why the bank account did not appear to reflect this condition. In surveying the cash outflows incurred by Chemalite, Inc., over the entire year, he noted the following:

1. The machinery used in the production of the Chemalites was general purpose machinery, not restricted to Chemalite production, that might reasonably be expected to last for 10 years—six months of which had already passed.
2. There was still a stock at December 31 of $55,000 worth of plastics and chemicals in the warehouse; however, there were no finished or partially finished Chemalites at yearend.
3. Although the patent that the company had acquired from Alexander had a legal life of 20 years, he expected competitors to develop equivalent products that did not use the patented technique in about five years.
4. Alexander was quite confused by the worth of the prototypes. They had directly resulted in the development of the product the company was presently selling, so perhaps their value had actually increased over the last six months of 2003.
5. The committee organizing The Olympic Games, Athens 2004, had placed a firm order with the company for 60,000 Chemalites at a price of $1.50 each. It was their intention to give a Chemalite to each person at the opening ceremony of the 2004 Olympic Games and to have athletes and fans light their Chemalites, symbolic of the Olympic flame.
