The question can be answered in a variety of ways. You are encouraged (and in some case required) to use graphs and diagrams as part of your answer, to illustrate your argument or particular concept. This question requires a discussion of vertebrate cardiovascular system other than human.

The vertebrate cardiovascular (CV) system has a job of delivering a variety of molecules, entrained in plasma, to all the cells in your body. How does it achieve this function effectively (at sufficient rate) and efficiently (with minimal energetic cost)? How does the transport & transfer function differ in extant endotherms and ectotherms? Among vertebrates there's a wealth of circulatory designs, each of which must perform the transport/transfer function. Human CV system is similar only to that of other mammals (and birds, to some extent), but why would you leave out other vertebrates? How do their CV systems work? How good are they at transport? What are the constraints in different CV systems? So much to write about... This discussion should involve different cardiovascular systems.

You are a wireless communication specialist working with an ambitious exploratory firm named PROJECT-SPACE. The firm is embarking on a huge project to build a human habitat in planet Mars. In 25 years, PROJECT-SPACE projected that the human habitat will gradually evolved into a small space city with the population of 1000 occupants. The initial habitat should be able to accommodate 15 Martians with consistent, stable and reliable communication from Mars to the planet Earth command center back in the capital of the country.

1) How Internet, data rate, noise and bandwidth be sufficient to achieve stable and reliable communication from Mars to S.I. for 10 people and able to scale up to 1000 people in the future?
2) How Martian atmospheric effect reacts to wireless signals?
3) How do you panned to power up your wireless access-points and communication device?

International Codes:

•The best starting point in the further development of standards for international business is self-regulation by business within the guidelines and standards that already exist.

•The UN Global Compact with business was proposed by the UN secretary-general in January 1999.

•The Compact challenges business to work with other companies, UN agencies, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to support and implement ten basic principles stated in the Compact.

• The basic principles deal with respecting human rights, labor standards, protecting the environment, and eliminating corruption.

•The ILO is a specialized agency of the UN that has set up principles governing labor standards.

•The Caux Principles were launched in 1995.

•These principles emerged from a series of dialogues among a group of European, Japanese, and American firms.

•The principles are rooted in two basic principles:

–the Japanese principle of kyosei (working together for the common good); and

–the Western notion of the dignity and value of each human person as an end and not simply as a means to be used by others.

THE QUESTION IS : Talk more about it and the role of multinational corporations with giving examples .

Type of care provided

Care in this capacity can range from a short-term to long-term based upon the changing needs of the patient. Patient age can range from pediatric to elderly. Care can be provided in the patient’s private home, group home, or assisted living setting. Medical homes fall into this category and are a new focus of Accountable Care Organizations through the Affordable Care Act of 2010.

Scenario

As the Director of Human Resources within a home care environment, you are responsible for the ad- ministration of the organization’s labor budgets. Your Director of Clinical Services, who has a MSN, has presented some challenges regarding the compensation of her staff.

This specific assisted nursing facility focuses on long-term care, providing approximately 500 nursing and support personnel who deliver direct and indirect care to approximately 225 patients representing various stages of acuity and need for nursing care. Your overall labor budget represents approximately 60% of expense revenue.

The Director of Clinical Service complains that several of her registered nurses are threatening to leave the organization, allegedly because a competitor nearby pays their nurses higher wages. In fact, Direc- tor of Clinical Service asks for an across-the-board immediate pay adjustment of an additional $5.00 an hour for the nurses. She is awaiting a response from you before the day is over.

Question 1

What steps would you, as the Director of Human Resources, take to rectify this issue?

Instruction

In your capacity as the Director of Human Resources, develop a plan for how you would conduct an internal and external wage analysis of your organization and respond to the impact this would have on the organization.

An electronic company in the recruitment of employees, conducts two stages of selection, namely the interview stage and psychological testing. But because the cost of psychological testing is increasingly expensive, the company plans to cancel the psychological testing process if the results of the interview are good enough. For this reason, the company assumes a positive correlation between interviews and psychological tests. This means that workers who are hired usually have high scores on interview tests and psychological tests. For this reason, human resource managers are instructed to test whether the hypothesis is correct. Therefore, the Human Resources Manager took interviews and psychological tests from 35 applicants. Help these human resource managers by using the Spearman Correlation Test with an error rate of 0.01 !

What is the human resource cost of hiring and maintaining employees in a company? Studies conducted by Saratoga Institute, Price-Waterhouse-Coopers Human Resource Services, determined that the average cost of hiring and employee is $3,270, and the average annual human resource expenditure per employee is $1,554. The average health benefit payment per employee is $6,393, and the average employer 401(k) cost per participant is $2,258. According to a survey conducted by the American Society for Training and Development, companies annually spend an average of $955 per employee on training, and, on average, an employee receives 32 hours of training annually. Business researchers have attempted to measure the cost of employee absenteeism to an organization. A survey conducted by CCH, Inc. showed that the average annual cost of unscheduled absenteeism per employee is $660. According to this survey, 35% of all unscheduled absenteeism is caused by personal illness.

  1. The survey conducted by the American Society for Training and Development reported that, on average, an employee receives 32 hours of training per year. Suppose that the number of hours of training is uniformly distributed across all employees varying from 0 hours to 64 hours.
    1. What percentage of employees receive between 20 and 40 hours of training?

  1. What percentage of employees receive 50 hours or more of training?

  1. As the result of another survey, it was determined that, on average, it costs $3,270 to hire an employee. Suppose such costs are normally distributed with a population standard deviation of $400.
    1. Based on these figures, what is the probability that a randomly selected hire costs more than $4,000?

(Could this done with no calculus to make sure my answer matches up with the work I did, thank you)
