Flagellates case study

MUNICIPALITY OF PAG-IBIG

Pag-ibig is predominantly an agricultural municipality. The principal agricultural products include quail eggs, poultry eggs, 45 days old chicken, rice, coconut, vegetables and root crops. A considerable part of the municipality land area was turned to be a go to Bars at night since only 5% of the municipality graduated from college and 20% high school graduates and 75% is only elementary graduate. Most of the teenagers girls works in night Bar. Every year, approximately 30,000 of tourist was able to explore the municipality of Pag-ibig because it is rich in cultural spot, and other attractions. Most of the family are sharing garments like clothes, underwear and towels. Being fifth-class municipality, Pag-ibig has no existing public and private government hospital. There is only one Rural Health Unit (RHU) which is situated in the Municipal hall. The LGU of Pag-ibig hired one medical doctor, one nurse, one midwife, one sanitary inspector and one Medical Technologist.

Based on the latest available health records, the causes of illnesses in the community lst year were described as follows:

1. Fifteen female teenagers who works at night bar developed genital infection exhibiting greenish-yellow discharge, edema and itching.

2. Ten female teenagers developed urinary tract infection and some developed persistent urethritis.

3. Ten female teenagers diagnosed with Sexually transmitted diseases and three male tested positive but asymptomatic.

A medical mission report showed the following microscopical health findings:

1. Morphologically pyriform shape with 4 anterior flagella and a prominent axostyle

2. Presence of undulating membrane with single nucleus

Questions to answer:

If you are the medical technologist in the medical mission based on the case study presented, what will be your:

1. Probable causative agent based on laboratory report and conditions of the cases described, present evidences based separating the cyst and trophozoite form of the parasite on the case study presented. (Both health records and medical mission health report)

2. Additional Laboratory test/s aside form test/s (if there is) stated in the case study which will help to confirm the causative agent.

3. Probable diagnosis/common diseases associated based on the conditions of the case described.

4. Report in terms of the characteristic/c of the specimen sample

5. Report in terms of the trophozoite motility/movement.

FLORAL SHOP

1. Present a course of action involving Marketing Planning to improve this business. Organize your answer using bullet points and sections I, II, III, IV, V.

Alyssa’s Floral Shop is a florist shop owned and operated by Jim and Mary Brown (a husband-and-wife team). The shop offers hundreds of floral arrangements together with small gifts; gift items include flowerpots, jewelry, vases, outdoor patio furniture, et cetera. Jim serves as the manager and sales clerk, while Mary specializes in the floral arrangements. Sales of the specialty floral business have been increasing since their opening in 2019, supposedly due to its friendly service and quality offerings. Some clothing items such as sweaters were also added for sale primarily to fill-up available space in the shop. Their major business consists of parties, weddings, funerals, and major one-time special events, in addition to some internet orders and spur-of-the moment purchases. Internet orders comprise of only about 5 percent of their business. Although most sales are generated from loyal customers in the local community, about 20 percent of the sales come from casual buyers.   Most of the customers are women, medium-to-high income category.

The size of the shop is rather large, located in a residential area nearby to a resort town with a population of about 100,000 full-time residents. Although somewhat isolated, about 9 blocks from other stores, the shop is located near a major heavily traveled intersection. Price promotions are essential since there are about 12 competitors in the nearby community. However, although Mary feels that flowers are not considered “special” by most shoppers, there is some concern about diminishing the overall value and image projected. Their promotion strategy for flowers and floral arrangements consists of an advertisement in the Yellow Pages of the local telephone directory, and occasionally in the local newspaper. During busy times, high-school students are hired to assist in order taking. Their task simply entails showing the prospects the display items and processing the transaction.

Assignment: Present at least 3 marketing strategies. For promotion, consider using social media for this business.

Lilly collects data on a sample of 40 high school students to evaluate whether the proportion of female high school students who take advanced math courses in high school varies depending upon whether they have been raised primarily by their father or by both their mother and their father. Two variables are found below in the data file: math (0 = no advanced math and 1 = some advanced math) and Parent (1= primarily father and 2 = father and mother).

d)     What are the Chi-square results? What are the expected and the observed results that were found? Are they results of the Chi-Square significant? What do the results mean?

e)      What were your null and alternative hypotheses? Did the results lead you to reject or fail to reject the null and why?

(1 point) A researcher is interested in whether the number of years of formal education is related to a person's decision to never smoke, continue to smoke, or quit smoking cigarettes. The data below represent the smoking status by level of education for residents of the United States 18 years or older from a random sample of 475 residents. Round all numeric answers to four decimal places.

??HA: "Smoking Status" is not independent of "Education Level"

A. ?2X2 test of a single variance
B. ?2X2 test of independence
C. ?2X2 goodness of fit

2. Under the null hypothesis, what is the expected number for people with an education of Less than high school and a smoking status of Former?

3. Calculate the ?2X2 test statistic.

4.What was the contribution of Former smokers who attended Less than high school toward this test statistic?

1. A trainer is studying the effects of vitamin D on his athletes. He has realized that there are many potential confounding factors, such as gender and age. To limit the effect of these confounding variables, he decided to first group two athletes together based on these variables (for example, two 21-year-old males). Then he randomly assigned one person to receive the vitamin D and the other to receive a sugar pill.

What type of experimental design does this situation demonstrate?

• Matched-Pair Design

• Randomized Block Design

• Completely Randomized Design

• Simple Random Design

Julie throws a ball to her friend Sarah. The ball leaves Julie's hand a distance 1.5 meters above the ground with an initial speed of 24 m/s at an angle 35 degrees; with respect to the horizontal. Sarah catches the ball 1.5 meters above the ground.

1) What is the horizontal component of the ball’s velocity when it leaves Julie's hand?

2) What is the vertical component of the ball’s velocity when it leaves Julie's hand?

3) What is the maximum height the ball goes above the ground?

4) What is the distance between the two girls?

5) After catching the ball, Sarah throws it back to Julie. The ball leaves Sarah's hand a distance 1.5 meters above the ground, and is moving with a speed of 23 m/s when it reaches a maximum height of 13 m above the ground.

What is the speed of the ball when it leaves Sarah's hand?

6) How high above the ground will the ball be when it gets to Julie? (note, the ball may go over Julie's head.)

Hooters President and CEO Terry Marks had a decision to make. Thirty years ago, Hooters of America had advanced a successful chain restaurant concept which combined “good food, cold beer and pretty girls.” After a period of rapid growth and a gauntlet of legal and community challenges, Hooters began losing ground to competitors in the expanding “breastaurant” sector in the 2000s. When Terry Marks took charge of the company in 2011, Hooters was faced with a choice: (1) it could emphasize a wholesome, neighborhood environment that would welcome men, women and families; (2) it could move in a more risqué direction and compete head-tohead with racier rivals; or (3) it could find some third way to position the brand in the highly competitive restaurant industry.

What would you do if you were in Terry Marks’ shoes? Would you move to make (or keep) Hooters more family friendly? Would you suggest making it edgier? Or would you make a different strategic choice?
