You recently graduated from Empire State University with a degree in Marketing. You loved your time at Empire State, and have made numerous friendships with faculty members, current students, and community members. Because of this, you want to remain in your college town and achieve your dream of opening your own coffee shop, The Daily Grind. Before you can open your business, you know that you need to divide the market into segments, to develop customer profiles in order for you to determine which segment of the market you want to target. You have decided to focus on a handful of variables that represent all four market segmentation bases (demographic, geographic, psychographic, behavioral). In one or more fully formed paragraphs, identify and explain at least one variable within each base of market segmentation that should be used to segment the market to create a customer profile of patrons appropriate for The Daily Grind.

Please use very basic level of bluej thanks (please dont use advance techniques )

Write a class House that represents a house. It should contain instance data: house number, street, town, year when the house was built. Define House’s constructor to accept and initialize all instance data. Include getter (accessor) and setter (mutator) methods for all instance data. Provide a toString method that returns one line description of the house as String. Provide method isHistoric() that returns a boolean indicating if the house was older than 50 from now or not.

Create a TestHouse class with main method in it. Within main method instantiate three House objects of your choice. At least one home should be historic. For each object invoke methods toString and isHistoric, and also invoke different pair of getter and setter methods. Provide appropriate print statements to explain the result of each invoked method to user.

Clinical Reasoning Report

This assessment task aims to develop your ability to apply the first three phases of the clinical reasoning process, at an introductory level, to the patient scenario below.

Patient Scenario - Jessie Lin

You are a student nurse working with a school nurse (registered nurse) in a secondary school. You and your mentor are supervising a bubble soccer match this afternoon (26^th March) which commenced at 1400 hrs. The match goes for 40 minutes with a 5 minute break in between the two halves. It is a hot and sunny day, the air temperature is 32 ^oC and the humidity is 45%.

After the match, your mentor asks you to perform a range of health assessments to make sure the students are fit to go home.

Jessie Lin is 16 years old and in Year 11.

It is now 1450 hours. You assess Jessie's vital signs and record the following results:

• Temperature (tympanic) 38.5 ^oC
• Pulse rate 140 beats/min
• Respiratory rate (RR) 29 breaths/min
• Blood pressure (BP) 130/70 mmHg

Jessie has flushed skin and her t-shirt is soaked. Her past medical history has not yet been documented in the school record as she is a new student and only enrolled in the school last week after moving from another state. She informs you that her mother is waiting for her in the car park, but she feels very hot and that her heart feels like it is beating very fast. She asks you for a bottle of cold water and a chair.

Jessie's previous observation records (on a clinical chart) are:

What you need to do in your clinical reasoning report

• Provide a concise summary of Jessie's situation as an introduction to your report (approximately 50 words) - what pertinent information would someone reading your report need to know about who Jessie is and the context of this scenario?
• List the objective and subjective data (cues) that you have gathered from reviewing the information provided above (approx. 50 words)
• Analyse and interpret the identified cues and explain the assessment findings in relation to Jessie's context (approx. 450 words)
  
  To do this successfully, you should:
  • categorise the cues and identify what elements are normal or abnormal, and
  • compare the current situation and vital signs with previous health information known about Jessie, and
  • recall and apply knowledge of anatomy and principles of physiology (including concepts of homeostasis and the body's responses to physical activity) to explain her vital signs and other cues.
• Then propose what further cues you want to collect and explain why these are relevant and important to the situation (approx. 450 words)
  
  To do this successfully, you will need to form a logical opinion about what the further cues should be, when you would undertake the assessments to collect these cues (e.g. after some immediate actions for Jessie) and why these cues should be assessed. Relate your justification to Jessie's situation AND to the principles of anatomy and normal physiology (focusing on homeostasis).

Assessment criteria and marking rubric. Your clinical reasoning report will be assessed against the following criteria:

1. Apply a beginner's level of clinical reasoning to assess and interpret health information in relation to the patient's context.
2. Question 2. Apply knowledge of anatomy and principles of physiology to explain assessment findings in relation to the patient's context.  (including concepts of homeostasis and the body's responses to physical activity) to explain her vital signs and other cues.
3. Question 3. Apply a beginner's level of clinical reasoning to propose and justify further cues that are to be collected in relation to the patient's context

(Though these questions has been answered, please help me with quest 2 & 3 in Assessment criteria section . I basically joined this forum for these questions, as i have already done the rest. Thank you in advance).

Logan is a 7 year old boy who was taken to the hospital for possible overdose. After arriving and treatment it was determined that the boy took his mothers suboxone. She cannot account for her were abouts when he took the drug and does not know how much he took or how he got it. Since, he has been removed from the care of his mother and placed in the care of his grandmother (his dads mother). His father is incarcerated for drug possession and manufacturing drugs and has been for the majority of his life. His mother failed her drug screen for drugs not prescribed from DSS when they arrived to the hospital. His mother is unemployed and cannot seem to hold a job. Logan and his mother live with his mothers grandmother, logans great grandmother. She is 80 years old. His great grandmother is the one who takes on all duties of parenting due to his mothers drug addiction. He sleeps with his great grandmother at night and she takes him to and from school and extracurricular activities. She fails to discipline him because he is stronger than her and she feels guilty because of his parents. Due to the fact that his mother lives in the home he has been placed out of the home with the closest relative.

Logan is suffering academically and acting out emotionally. He is not controlling his emotions and cries every morning after drop off. Logan responds positively to the assistant principal, who is a Male. He is able to calm Logan down and helps him one on one. He is having anger outbursts during class and refuses to participate in certain activities. He does not seem to have much of an appetite at school or at home. He has been bullying other kids at school and is also getting bullied because of his situation at home. His grandmother has set rules that she expects him to follow. She has created a chore chart for him and if he completes the tasks listed he gets rewarded. Logan is not use to this type of structure. He is struggling to complete simple tasks like making his bed in the morning and picking his clothes up out of the floor. This is all new to him because his great grandmother did everything.

Logans grandmother is trying to make a bad situation bearable, but she is struggling. She has been active in working with his caseworker, assistant principal and school counselors to try to find solutions to his behavior. His great grandmother is trying to stay involved and help without involving his mother in the process. She is also allowing supervised visits by the caseworker with his mother in hopes of reunification one day. At this point, nothing is working. Logan still seems emotionally unstable and is acting out. His teachers have reported that on the days of his visits with his mother, his behavior gets more aggressive. He does well when its library day for his class and is making strides reading, but suffering in all other areas.

I have to reply to the post above based off the criteria below. I am struggling quite a bit.

Use 1 theory from Chapter 1 (Freud, Erikson, Piaget, learning theory, bioecological theory, or nature vs. nurture). Demonstrate how the theory can help explain the presenting issue in the case.

From Chapters 2 and 3, identify 1 element of brain development, stress response, or cognitive development that is relevant to the case and explain why.

From Chapter 4, discuss the influence of parenting style or attachment in your classmates’ case.

Conclude by suggesting 1 environmental modification that would be useful as an intervention to this case.

One of my recent papers examine important and timely research questions using a field experiment approach in eBay auctions: (i) Can merchandise return policy (MRP; liberalness in the MRP) increase consumers’ willingness to pay? and (ii) is the marginal impact of MRP diminishing? In this study we created three brand new eBay seller profiles, all with zip-codes located within five miles of each other in a college town in the U.S. The eBay stores received exactly the same product description, pictures, outbound shipping policies, etc. The only difference among the three sellers was the extent of liberalness in the MRP and we chose to operationalize MRP liberalness in terms of the time window during which the customer is allowed to return the purchased product. The most conservative MRP (Storefront 1 and 1a) involved a 15-day return window. According to trade publications, this return condition is more conservative than retail-industry averages. Storefront2 and 2a received a 30-day return window, which corresponds closely with retail-industry averages. Finally, Storefront3 and 3a received a 60-day return window, which is more liberal than many retailers offer at this point. The other elements of the return remained constant across the three storefronts. Therefore, in terms of overall return-policy liberalness, it could be argued that Storefront1/1a < Storefront 2/2a < Storefront 3/3a . It is important to note that it is very common in my data that we observe a customer’s bidding behavior in several auctions. [Question] During the revision stage of the journal publication process, one of the reviewer’s comment was that the I may use a fixed effects model to control for unobserved individual fixed effects. Do you agree or disagree with the above statement? Please explain with details.

8-11 Outsourcing (LO 3)

Merit Bay Communications operates a customer call center that handles billing inquiries for several large insurance firms. Since the center is located on the outskirts of town, where there are no restaurants within a 20-minute drive, the company has always operated an on-site cafeteria for employees. The cafeteria uses $180,000 in food products each year and serves 5,000 meals per month, at a price of $5 each. It employs five workers whose salaries and benefits total $90,000 per year. Depreciation on the cafeteria equipment is $35,000 per year. Other fixed overhead that is directly related to operating the cafeteria totals $12,000 per year.

     Best Ever Foods has offered to take over Merit Bay’s cafeteria operations. As part of the transition, current cafeteria employees would become Best Ever employees, and Best Ever would assume all out-of-pocket costs to operate the cafeteria. Best Ever would continue to offer meals at $5 each and would pay Merit Bay $0.50 per meal for the use of its cafeteria facilities.

Required

a.    Should Merit Bay continue to operate the employee cafeteria, or should the company accept Best Ever’s offer? Why?

b.    Assume that Merit Bay accepted Best Ever’s offer two years ago and that all costs have remained constant. Since then, a new shopping mall has opened close to the company’s location, bringing in several fast-food and quick-service restaurants. Employee demand for cafeteria service has dropped to 1,000 meals per month, and Best Ever has laid off two of the five cafeteria workers. Does it make financial sense for Merit Bay to renew Best Ever’s contract for another year, or should it resume operation of the cafeteria operation?
