In 1943, psychologist Abraham Maslow wrote a paper, “A Theory of Human Motivation,” which explained how drive and motivation are correlated to the understanding of human needs and behavior. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is a motivational theory that proposes that while people aim to meet their basic needs, they aspire to attain higher order needs in the form of a pyramid. This idea is shown in his presentation below:

Research Maslow’s Theory and address the following:

1. In brief, describe the theory and how it has increased our understanding of personal and organizational needs and satisfaction. What are the criticisms of the theory?
   
2. Examine the pyramid and reflect on your current situation. Are your motivations dictated by your current needs? Explain.

. What’s the significance of the sites at Lascaux and Altimara (hint: cave paintings)

39. Define acclimatization, melanin, pathogen, and pandemic

40. What is the importance of melanin, exposure to UV radiation, rickets, folate, and infectious

Disease to understanding human variation?

41. What does the HIV virus attack?

42. At birth, what % of the brain is the adult size?

43. What is the significance of preagriculture diet compared to the diet of today?

44. Understand the different life cycles discussed in your text and the unique aspect of the human lifecycle

45. What is the importance of social relationships for nonhuman primates?

46. What is the taxonomy for humans---order, family, genus, and species?

47. Define hyperplasia and hypertrophy

48. Who are the most primitive primates?

1. Microarrays are now used as prenatal diagnostic tools to identify aneuploid fetuses in humans. Prospective parents also get to know the sex of their child if microarray profiling is performed. Give some thought to the potential for microarray-based verification of karyotypes in including and beyond the human species. Then indicate whether the sex of a fetus could be determined in the following species by this method. If so, for each case, should the microarray be hybridized to genomic DNA or cDNA? If either DNA or cDNA would be inappropriate, explain why.

1. Chickens (sex is determined by ZW chromosomes)

2. Snakes (sex is determined by alleles of a single gene)

3. Agama lizards (sex is determined by the temperature at which eggs hatch)

4. Twelve year old human suspected to be X0 (Turner’s syndrome)

1. Why have human population sizes increased dramatically in the last several hundred years? Select all that apply.

A. genetic mutations

B. advances in medicine

C. agricultural advances

D. expansion of biodiversity in cities

E. building housing in a wide array of habitat types

2. As the size of the worldwide human population has increased, there has been a decrease in which of the following?

A. carbon dioxide emissions

B. fossil fuel use

C. water shortages

D. biodiversity

3. Abiotic factors that affect population growth and demographics are also referred to as which of the following?

A. density-dependent factors

B. density-independent factors

C. density-unrelated factors

D. density-diversity factors

The pattern of genetic similarity and differences among human populations allows us to reconstruct the evolutionary history of our species. Label the lettered parts of your answer.

A. What taxonomic group would include L1 + L2 + L3, but not Homo sapiens neaderthalensis?

B. Where and when did that (L1 + L2 + L3) taxonomic group originate?

C. Was there ever any interaction between (any part of the) taxonomic group you named above and Homo sapiens neaderthalensis; if so, what was the nature of that interaction?

D. Drawing on the information in your answers to parts A, B, and C, and on patterns of current human genetic diversity, explain the sequence and timing of events that led to the present situation, with a single kind of hominin occupying the whole planet.

Human Resource Management

Motivating employee is of key concern to most firms, especially those operating in the competitive Ghanaian metal industrial environments. To these firm-types, human resource is considered unique, and the management of employees’ motivational expectations is deemed a prerequisite for organizational success. This mindset has necessitated the need for such firms to look for best ways of developing work-motivation systems at their workplaces that are all-encompassing, and which can have the potency to satisfy employees’ work-motivational expectations and create the requisite driving forces in them towards increased performances and productivities.
Required:
Explain, with examples, the character of such work motivation system, and the benefits it stands to provide the firms, if it is well designed and managed. Also argue with justifications, how the design and management of the system should be approached.

Background

Pick one or possibly a "combination" of 2 heavy metals ....which you must now try to justify as the real CULPRITS in the continuing disease we see in people who had this exposure in the past ! try to explain (as a Toxicologist) why you think that heavy metal(s) you selected could be the cause of the disease and death seen in those who were exposed ! Be sure to give chemical, biological, physiological, toxicological reason for your selection. How does this impact on human physiology or cellular/ biochemical activity of humans or human cells .

As a toxicologist, which heavy metals do you think caused long term effects but also killed those in 911? I'm thinking sulfate or Zinc but I'm not sure.
