1. Explain in your own words why regulation is important. I would like you to use 2 examples, one from human communities and one from the human body in your explanation. Make sure to include how regulation is enabled in each case (i.e. how is communication occurring?).

2. In order for an effector to respond to a command via either of the endocrine or nervous system, it must be able to respond to a chemical (hormone or neurotransmitter). Explain how the effector is able to respond to these chemical signals (i.e. what must it have either in its membrane or inside its cells). Describe how this process of intercellular communication exemplifies the relationship between structure and function.

1. People sometimes suggest that psychology cannot be a science because either a) human behavior cannot be predicted with perfect accuracy, or b) must of its subject matter (e.g., thoughts and feelings) cannot be observed directly. Tell us why psychology is a science and why both assumptions are false. What is an "empirical question"? List two empirical and two nonempirical questions about human behavior.

2. What is basic research? What is applied research? Based on your own experience or on things you have already learned about psychology, list three basic research questions and three applied research questions. Be sure to identify specific variables in your examples.

Why is culture often taken for granted and considered as being "natural" for members of the society in which it is practiced?

What is ethnocentrism? Discuss how ethnocentrism can have both positive and negative consequences for group life. Provide examples to illustrate your discussion of the positive and negative consequences of ethnocentrism.

Describe the process of cultural diffusion and explain how it contributes to cultural leveling. Give an example

Edward Wilson believes that sociobiology explains human behavior more accurately than sociology does. Wilson claims that human behavior is the result of natural selection. However, most sociologists disagree with his ideas. Discuss the reasons why sociologists disagree.

What is a culture war? Are culture wars beneficial to society?

What is Capital and why have economists kept inventing new forms of capital (human capital, social capital, cultural capital, knowledge capital, etc)? (2-3 Pages) (Do Not plagiarize, cite your sources)

Think about the following issues:

1. We have defined capital as costly to acquire, durable (with depreciation), and increasing future productivity.  Does this cover all the theorists in the course?
2. Is there a move from capital as specific tangible productive asset to capital as intangible general aspect of productivity in society?
3. Why do we call acquired skills human capital, network connections social capital, and specific cultural knowledge cultural capital?  What intellectual or political work is this relabeling doing?

You, as a HR Generalist, have been asked by your HR Director for your recommendations in terms of what tools your organization could use to better manage the talents of your employees. This will help to develop policies and procedures in managing your human capital. Please develop a PowerPoint presentation to your Director addressing the following:

• Describe and analyze the broad range of talent management efforts that use software applications to help you Director to make an educated decision.
• Give some examples of firms that have successfully used these applications.
• Describe how these efforts are useful in terms of strategic human capital management.

Assignment:

Sustainability Concepts:

Ecological health : Regeneration of ecosystem services is essential for sustainability.

Equity/Ethics : Ethics serves to guide human endeavor and is not just a topic for philosophy.

Interdependence : The interdependence of humanenvironmental systems is a condition of life.

Limits/Scale : Ecological limits and social ties should inform the scale of human activity.

Think of a recent purchase you have made that is relatively costly. Do not select food items. In light of what you have learned about sustainability, externalized costs, and the mission and core values of the social work profession, would you make the same decision to purchase this product if you had a second chance to decide? Why or why not?

175-200 WORD COUNT

A newspaper article summarized data from a survey of 1,845 recruiters and human resource professionals. The article indicated that 52% of the people surveyed had reconsidered a job candidate based on his or her social media profile. Assume that the sample is representative of the population of recruiters and human resource professionals in the United States.

(a)Use the given information to estimate the proportion of recruiters and human resource professionals who have reconsidered a job candidate based on his or her social media profile using a 95% confidence interval. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

(_________ , _________)

(b)Give an interpretation of the confidence level of 95%.

a. Of all possible random samples, 95% would result in an interval that is centered at the actual value of the population proportion.

b. Of all possible random samples, 95% would result in an interval that includes the actual value of the population proportion.    

c. Of all possible random samples, 5% would result in an interval that lies above the actual value of the population proportion.

d. Of all possible random samples, 95% would result in an interval that lies below the actual value of the population proportion.

e. Of all possible random samples, 5% would result in an interval that includes the actual value of the population proportion.

You are a researcher at a small biotech company and your company has just obtained the license for use of a human GENOMIC DNA fragment putatively encoding a potentially novel protein, which is thought to regulate p53, the known tumor supressor protein. The scientists who originally cloned this GENE fragment HDM5 "claim" that HDM5 shares 93% DNA sequence homology with one of the HDM2 genes (refer to the review Levine & Oren, 2009). They propose that HDM5 may have HDM2-like properties and may be involved in regulating cell proliferation, and thus a good target to potentially develop as a cancer therapy. Your company has asked you to characterize the gene and gene products, as well as to provide an opinion as to its potential human therapeutic uses.

You are now convinced that the protein encoded by your HDM5 gene shares homology to HDM2 genes and shares functional similarities.

What is your advice to your company regarding the potential usefulness of this HDM5 gene and its product in the development of human therapies? Propose the mechanism of action of your gene's product and suggest one potential therapeutic approach based on this gene. (Consider consulting the Levine & Oren 2009 article!)

1. Rose Company has two production departments: Fabricating (P1) and Finishing (P2), and three support departments: Human Resources (S1), Plant Security (S2), and Maintenance (S3). Budgeted support department costs and the direct overhead of the production departments for 2020 are as follows:

Department: Budget Costs:

(S1) Human resources $80,000

(S2) Plant security $56,000

(S3) Maintenance $63,000

Department: Direct overhead:

(P1) Fabricating $280,000

(P2) Finishing $340,000

Rose allocates support department costs using the following activity drivers: Human Resources (number of employees), Plant Security (direct labor hours), and Maintenance (machine hours). Assume a service department does not provide services to itself. Budgeted 2020 support department driver consumption (by department) is as follows:

Driver: (S1) (S2) (S3) (P1) (P2) total

Number of employees= 0 20 20 90 70 200

direct labor hours= 400 0 1,200 3,200 3,200 8,000

Machine hours= 0 102 0 612 306 1,020

Use the direct method to calculate the total overhead for each production department. Round to 4 decimal places (e.g. $1.0000).

What does "ontological" mean?

In the excerpt from the encyclopedia entry on Feminist Ethics, the authors used the term "ontological" in describing the foundation of the various feminist approaches.

"Ontology" is a branch, or field, of Philosophy. In this field, philosophers investigate "reality" or "existence."

To do so, they attempt to answer questions like: What is the nature of reality? What exists fundamentally? What is the "bottom-line" of all that is?

We can ask these ontological questions about specific things, too, like human beings.

Feminist argue that the ontological question "What is a human being" has been answered as if it were actually the question "What is a man?" In other words, men answered the question about what is real by examining their experiences and then universalizing this for all human beings. As a result, women were ignored and/or found to be morally deficient.

For example, Aristotle claimed that women had barely enough reason to handle household matters, like knowing how to keep food stocked(!). Contrasting men an women, he wrote "a man would be thought a coward if he were only as brave as a brave woman..." Politics,1227b.

You can see why feminist thinkers challenged this idea of "reality." They sought to correct the "ontological status" of men and women.
