Discuss the pros and cons of the federal, state, and local government funding human service programs. Should they continue to do so, or should it be the responsibility of concerned citizens to “care for their own”?

You are the Executive Director of Human Resources for the College of New Caledonia. There is a global pandemic called COVID-19 causing unprecedented disruption to society, business operations, and global economies. Everyone is feeling the impact and no one is immune to this including your organization CNC. The President of the College of New Caledonia has asked you as the Executive Director of Human Resources to prepare a Human Resources Pandemic Plan for the organizations COVID-19 response. To create a comprehensive plan, you are required to pay particular attention to a few key details that will impact employees.

In your plan, briefly discuss the following topics (and provide your reasoning):

1. Compensation plans for employees - is peoples pay changing as a result of disrupted work? (Strategic Pay Plans)
2. Employee benefits and services plans for employees - is this changing as a result of disrupted work? (Employee Benefits and Services)
3. Health and Safety decisions made to protect employees. (Occupational Health & Safety Chapter 10)
4. Union partners collaboration and communication – what is the plan for how you work with the unions? (Labour relations)
5. What will happen if employees are non-compliant with recommendations or are not able to work to expected standards? (Performance Management)

A.  Suppose that the sequence below was the open reading frame of a gene. It’s not the entire mRNA molecule, just the protein coding sequence and in this case the first three bases is the start codon. The sequence is given as DNA sense strand because DNA is where mutations happen.

The chemical 5-amino-2,3-dihydro-1,4-phthalazinedione, better known as luminol, is used by forensic scientists in analyzing crime scenes for the presence of washed-away blood. Luminol is so sensitive that it can detect blood that has been diluted 10,000 times. A basic solution of luminol is often sprayed onto surfaces that are suspected of containing minute amounts of blood. Luminol has a molecular weight of 177 g/mol.Before investigating the scene, the technician must dilute the luminol solution to a concentration of 2.00×10−2 M . The diluted solution is then placed in a spray bottle for application on the desired surfaces. How many moles of luminol are present in 2.00 L of the diluted spray? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Trypsin and chymotrypsin are members of the family of serine proteases. They cleave peptide bonds at the C-terminal end of specific residues. Chymotrypsin recognizes aromatic residues, while trypsin recognizes lysine and arginine. The recognition of a particular side chain (side chain specificity) is fully determined by the structure and properties of the binding pocket. In the case of chymotyipsin the binding pocket is hydrophobic and is wide enough to accommodate an aromatic ring. Given what you know about the properties of Lys/Arg side chains, what can you say about the size/shape and possible interactions that would provide the substrate specificity in the case of trypsin? What amino acid residues from the trypsin molecule would you expect to find in the binding site?

The regimen for subcutaneous heparin sodium injection consists of a minimum initial dose of 10,000 units, followed by a minimum dose of 15,000 units every 12 hours.
