Scientific Proof that ‘Metabo-Herb’ causes your tomatoes to grow faster than ‘Super-Grow.’ Decades of scientific research has resulted in the development of a new plant fertilizer that promotes plant growth better than any other product on the market—including ‘Super Grow.’ ‘Metabo-Herb’ is a clinically formulated fertilizer that is scientifically proven to outperform all other products. We don’t just say that our product is better, we prove it! The following experiment provides definitive, scientific proof of the superiority of ‘Metabo-Herb’ over ‘Super-Grow. Two side by side one-acre fields were planted with the same variety of tomatoes. One of the fields was fertilized with ‘Metabo-Herb,’ the other was not. At the end of the season, plants were randomly sampled from each field and compared with respect to growth (plant height). The differences in growth between the plants are amazing and scientifically proven! A statistically significant difference in plant height between the groups proves the superiority of ‘Metabo-Herb” over our competitors.

Client Profile

Ashlee is a 4 year old preschooler who lives with her parents and two older siblings in a suburban environment. She attends preschool five mornings a week and enjoys playing with her 5 year old sister and 7 year old brother. She is very active and enjoys playing outside, riding her tricycle, climbing on the family's jungle gym, and playing on the swing set. Her vocabulary consists of approximately 1,500 words and she speaks using four or five word sentences. Her parents are very attentive to their children and spend each weekend doing "family activities". During the week, her parents work, and Ashlee and her siblings stay with their grandmother after school. Their grandmother lives in the same neighborhood. In the evenings, the family eats together and maintains an evening schedule that allows for family play time.

Case Study

During the past 2 months, Ashlee has been less active than usual and has begun taking one or two naps in the afternoon. Her grandmother and parents think she looks pale, reasoning that it is because of her high activity level, until her interest in going outside to play decreases dramatically. When they take her temperature, it is elevated so they administer acetaminophen without effect. At this point they decide to take her to see her pediatrician. Although the health care provider found Ashlee's manifestations consistent with an upper respiratory infection, the pediatrician is concerned and decides to admit Ashlee to the hospital for tests to rule out leukemia.

Questions 1. Her admission vital signs are: Temperature: 38° C (100.4° F) Pulse: 120 beats/minute Respirations: 28 breaths/minute Blood pressure: 100/60 And her admission complete blood count reveals: Hemoglobin: 11 g/dL Hematocrit: 31% Erythrocyte count: 4.6 million Platelet count: 100 (x103 mm3 ) White blood cell count: 23.0 Neutrophils: 16% Lymphocytes: 10% Monocytes: 5% Eosinophils: 1% Basophils: 0.03%

1. Discuss the significance of Ashlee's vital signs and laboratory findings.

2. The tests confirm a diagnosis of acute lymphocytic leukemia. How do you explain this to Ashlee’s parents? They ask you her chances of survival?

3. Identify at least 4 nursing priorities for Ashlee.

4. Discuss the factors that affect Ashlee's prognosis.

5. Ashlee's chemotherapy regimen is started and the oncologist prescribes that she receive ondansetron 2.5 mg IV prior to chemotherapy and the same dose every 4 hours for 24 hours. In addition, she prescribes lorazepam 0.84 mg IV q6h PRN for breakthrough nausea. Discuss these prescriptions including drug classifications, when medications should be administered, special considerations when administering drugs, and safe dosage for Ashlee, who weighs 16.7 kg (36.7 lb).

6. Discuss Ashlee's level of growth and development and how her treatment may impact this.

7. How would you work with Ashlee's parents to help prevent complications associated with her growth and development?

Vintage Time Ltd, is a company which sells antiques of all kinds. The company which is owned
and run by Rose Gareses, is a new client of your Audit firm and you have been placed in change
of the 28 February 2019 year-end audit. In gathering information about the business, you noted
the following.

The company obtains its stock in a number of ways.
Auctions are attended at which specific items and antique bales are purchased. When a bale is
purchased, the buyer bids a single price on a number of items and must take whatever is in the
“bales”. Each “bales” contains assorted items of varying values, some items being worthless.

Two buyers, who are experts in the field of antiques, travel widely, visiting second hand
furniture shops in different country villages and towns. These purchases are always made for
cash, often with minimal accompanying documentation.
Rose travels to Angola to purchase cheap antiques, generally these items sell successfully, but
there have been occasions when the items have had to be sold below cost.
Before being placed on the showroom floor, most items are repaired, renovated and cleaned in
the restoration department.
All items placed on the showroom floor have a price tag attached but this price is not necessarily
adhered to. Customers can negotiate prices and large discounts are given if the customer pays
cash, particularly for items which have been on the floor for long periods. Credit cards are
accepted and e wallet services.

At 28 February 2019, Vintage Time (Pty) Ltd will have a material debtors balance. The debtors
vary from large interior decorating companies to private individuals. No formal creditworthiness
checks are done on prospective customers and there is no credit limit set. To open an account a
customer must pay a negotiable cash deposit on the first purchase and must be interviewed by
Rose.
She explained it to you as follows, “People who buy antiques usually really want what they are
buying and are prepared to pay. They feel they must have it. Mark ups are high and if they take a
while to pay, so what?
Where a sale is made on account or is paid for by credit card, an invoice is written out, and if the
sale is for cash, a receipt is made out if the customer requests it.
Susan Mwaee, the bookkeeper, manually writes up a debtor’s ledger and a simple stock “ledger”.
The stock “ledger” contains a description of the item and its selling price. After the item is sold it
is crossed out in the stock “ledger” and the word “sold” inserted next to the deletion.
Vintage Time’s overdraft at First Bank Limited has climbed steadily over the year under audit,
and Rose has indicated that unless sales improve over the next few months, he will have to
retrench one or more of his craftsmen in the restoration department. A number of discussions
have been held with First Bank Limited, who have expressed concern about the financial
position, and are awaiting the audited financial statements.

REQUIRED:
Assess the audit risk at the financial statement level and assertion level relating to the audit of
Vintage (Pty) Ltd.(35Marks)

A C++ question:

Implement the following functions. Each function deals with null terminated C-strings. You can assume that any char array passed into the functions will contain valid, null-terminated data. Your functions must have the signatures listed below.

1. This function returns the last index where the target char can be found in the string. it returns -1 if the target char does not appear in the string. For example, if s is “Giants” and target is ‘a’ the function returns 2.

int lastIndexOf(char *s, char target)

2. This function alters any string that is passed in. It should reverse the string. If “flower” gets passed in it should be reversed in place to “rewolf”. To be clear, just printing out the string in reverse order is insufficient to receive credit, you must change the actual string to be in reverse order.

void reverse(char *s)

3. This function finds all instances of the char ‘target’ in the string and replaces them with ‘replacementChar’. It also returns the number of replacements that it makes. If the target char does not appear in the string it returns 0 and does not change the string. For example, if s is “go giants”, target is ‘g’, and replacement is ‘G’, the function should change s to “Go Giants” and return 2.

int replace(char *s, char target, char replacementChar)

4. This function returns the index in string s where the substring can first be found. For example if s is “Skyscraper” and substring is “ysc” the function would return 2. It should return -1 if the substring does not appear in the string.

int findSubstring(char *s, char substring[])

5. This function returns true if the argument string is a palindrome. It returns false if it is not. A palindrome is a string that is spelled the same as its reverse. For example “abba” is a palindrome. So is “hannah”, “abc cba”, and “radar”.

bool isPalindrome(char *s)

Note: do not get confused by white space characters. They should not get any special treatment. “abc ba” is not a palindrome. It is not identical to its reverse.

6. Extra Credit, up to 10 extra points. This function should reverse the words in a string. A word can be considered to be any characters, including punctuation, separated by spaces (only spaces, not tabs, \n etc.). So, for example, if s is “The Giants won the Pennant!” the function should change s to “Pennant! the won Giants The”

void reverseWords(char *s)

You can get up to 5 extra credit points if you implement this correctly. You can get up to another 5 extra credit points if you do it without using a second array. Note: this is one of the classic coding questions given during programming interviews.

Requirements

- You may use strlen(), strcmp(), and strncpy() if you wish, but you may not use any of the other C-string library functions such as strstr(), strncat(), etc.

- You will not receive credit for solutions which use C++ string objects, you must use C-Strings (null-terminated arrays of chars) for this assignment.

-Please indent the code.

Case study

Fatima Hassan is responsible for the collection, and auditing services of clients' accounts for the Doha Audit Office. Has been commissioned With a new client, Al Wajba Consulting Services Company, which contracted with the Doha Audit Office recently. Company CEO It is Mr. Ali Mahmoud, who monitors all operating activities of the company and takes all major decisions. Never use this company Previously, any services from the audit office. In addition to preparing the financial statements, the Doha Audit Office will handle the related matters Company taxes.

On her first visit to the company, Fatima Hassan met Hala Abdullah, she was recently hired as an accountant and is still a student. Accounting last year at a local university. At a later meeting, Hala assured Fatma that she had found the job at the beginning of the class Scholastic after extensive research. She needs money to help fund her studies at university and feels lucky to have found A well-paid job during this current phase of the economic downturn due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hala felt that Fatima was someone she could talk to and get advice from. Hala spoke of a situation she had in mind Some time ago. Hala concerns dealing with sales revenue. When the proceeds from sales are collected and deposited on a weekly basis, the necessary report is filled out with the most accurate categories of payment: cash, checks or credit cards. Distance Depositing the total amount on a weekly basis, Mr. Ali Mahmoud prepares a report after adjusting the total amount deposited by His own vision. After looking at some of the weekly deposits, Hala noticed that 20,000 Qatari cash were missing from each Deposit process.

After a more comprehensive examination of the monthly tax documents that Mr. Ali filled out, Hala notes that the total income is the monthly amount reported to the Tax Authority is QR 80,000 less than the amount actually calculated. Professor Ali He is the only person to deal with the funds after they have been pooled. It is also the only person who deposits money on a weekly basis. When Hala asked Mr. Ali about the non-reporting of these unreported revenues, Mr. Ali replied that it was being done for tax purposes. It is believed that the auditor will accept this procedure because the fees of the Doha Audit Office are to implement Audit tasks and other tax services are paid by Al Wajba Consulting Services.

Study requirements:

Each student must answer the following questions but each question should be answered at least 120 word for each question:

1. What is the problem or ethical problems in this situation? And why is each of them an ethical problem?

2. Who are the affected stakeholders in this situation? Explain how.

3. What are the alternatives available to Hala Abdullah, Fatima Hassan, and Professor Ali Mahmoud?

4. For each alternative dealt with in Requirement (3), are the net benefits exceeding the net losses for all the owners? Discuss your interpretation clearly

5. Whose rights will be violated in every alternative dealt with in Question 3? Discuss your interpretation clearly

Septimus was the seventh born child in his family; that is why he was called Septimus - which comes from the Latin word for 'seventh.' Despite the fact he had a numerical name, Septimus hated Hip Hop artists because so many of them appeared to be named after numbers (eg 50 Cent).

Because of his love of classical music, Septimus worked in the record indust1y as a company director for a recording company, My Masters Voice Ltd (or MMV Ltd). MMV Ltd specialized in recording classical music with a twist ( eg electric violin artists).

October 2013 proved to be a newsworthy month for Septimus and MMV. First, Septimus received a confidential report that MMV was going to merge with the leading recording company on earth, Mowertown. On hearing that news, Septimus purchased further shares in MMV and Mower-town. He purchased these shares in his own name. Secondly, at a Halloween party, one of the artists who records with MMV said to Septimus: "I'm really happy, the motor company my dad works for - Four Wheels are Better than None Ltd - is about to be cleared by a government enquiry - it turns out their quad-bike wasn't designed badly, after all. But please do not tell anyone I told you." Septimus subsequently bought shares in Four Wheels are Better than None. Finally, Septimus read an article in the No Idea Magazine that said smart investors were now buying shares in garden supply companies. Septimus went out and bought gardening shares.

(a) ASIC is now investigating Septimus' share purchases. They seek your advice on whether his three purchases have breached the Corporations Act. Advise ASIC giving legal reasons.

(b) One work experience cadet at ASIC learns about the Septimus matter and says: "The law relating to this matter is confusing. I am not sure whether Septimus' share purchases are governed by directors' duties or some other part of the Corporations Act. Also, even if he pleads guilty, I cannot make any sense out of the principles courts apply when sentencing offenders. I think the law is soft on white collar crime." Do you agree? Discuss this statement and in so doing, explain the relevant (white collar crime) sentencing principles to the cadet. Are you aware of other problems ASIC has had in white collar crime law suits? If so, discuss them.

(c) Imagine the above facts slightly change. First, instead of buying shares in Mower-town in his own name, Septimus instructs his accountant to buy the shares using a family company. Might that change the sections under which ASIC prosecutes Septimus? Why?

(d) Finally, imagine the facts change again. This time, instead of buying shares, Septimus makes a statement to the stock exchange which he knows is incorrect. When ASIC read the minutes of one directors' meeting, they find evidence that Septimus must have known the true situation. When confronted with this evidence by ASIC, Septimus simply says: "Well, the minute taker must have got it wrong." What are Septimus' prospects of success?
