Fill in the blank- During eukaryotic transcription, the assembly of the general transcription factors begins with the binding of the factor________in a complex with the general transcription factor_________to DNA, causing a marked local distortion in the double helix. This factor binds at the DNA sequence called the________box, which is typically located 25 nucleotides upstream from the transcription start site. Once RNA polymerase II has been brought to the promoter DNA, it must be released to begin making transcripts. This release process is facilitated by the addition of phosphate groups to the tail of RNA polymerase by the factor_______. General transcription factor and RNA polymerase are not sufficient to efficiently initiate transcription in the cell and are affected by proteins bound thousands of nucleotides away from the promoter. Proteins that link distantly bound transcription regulators to RNA polymerase and the general transcription factors include the large complex of proteins called the _________. The packaging of DNA into chromatin also affects transcriptional initiation, and histone________ is an enzyme that can render the DNA less accessible to the general transcription factors.

Estimates of λ or r are often used to determine how rapidly a population is growing (or declining) at various points in time. For a population that is growing exponentially, we can estimate the exponential growth rate (r) using the following equation:

where N(0) is the population size at the beginning of a time period, t is the length of the time period, and N(t) is the population size at the end of the period. In this exercise, we’ll use this technique and the data in the table to examine the growth rate of the world’s human population at different points in time.

1 a)Calculate the exponential growth rate (r) for the years shown in the table. For example, from year 1 to year 400, the length of the time period, t, is t= 400 – 1 = 399. The population size at the start of this time period, N(0), equals 170 million, and the population size at the end of this time period, N(t), equals 190 million. If we substitute these values for t, N(0), and N(t) into the equation forrprovided above, we find that

r= [ln(190 million/170 million)]/399 = 0.1112/399 = 0.00028.

b) If the human population continued to grow at the rate you calculated for 2000, how large would the population be in 2050? [Hint: recall from your textbook that in an exponentially growing population, N(t) = N(0) e^rt.]

c) What assumptions did you make in answering Question 2? Based on results for Question 1, is it likely that the human population will reach the size that you calculated for 2050? Why or why not?

There is a considerable history of how medical research has been conducted in morally inappropriate, even devastatingly inappropriate ways. People have forced into serving as human subjects in research projects, deceived, risks not being disclosed or at least not fully disclosed to get people to volunteer but in the absence of full disclosure of risks, informed consent is not fully informed. But what to do if full disclosure of risks would scare people away from volunteering? The dilemma is that research is vitally important for continued progress in terms of medical technology and break-throughs while at the same time abiding by the strictest of ethical standards in terms of how research is carried out -- can we have it both ways? Does the importance of progress in terms of combating illnesses outweigh the importance of taking ethics seriously in terms of risks to the human subjects which are part of the means of reaching the goal of such progress -- a sure conflict between the utilitarian standard of doing what benefits the greatest number versus the Kantian ideal of respecting people and not simply using them to achieve a desired end. To those ends, do we offer incentives to get people to volunteer as human subjects of research projects; is that putting unfair pressure on the less affluent to agree; do we say let respect for the individual be damed given the importance of eradicating disease; do we put animals into service -- who cares if animals are put at risk so long as we humans derive a benefit in terms of finding treatments and cures for what ails us; do we make use of the findings of research immorally conducted -- why waste possibly important findings even though such was obtained in ethically improper ways or would doing so encourage further improperly conducted research to be undertaken again? Discuss these important issues raised by considerations of the ethics of medical research.

IMHR DILEMMA: WHOM DO YOU SATISFY? EXPATRIATE OR NATIONALS

Hi-Tech Electronics Limited was established in 2006 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It produces and markets all types of electronics goods in most of the Asian and Pacific countries. It has been one among the top five companies as for the level of technology and one among the top three companies regarding marketing of the products in Malaysia. The company’s policy and practices concerning human resource management are top in the country. The company’s salary administration policies and practices were taken as guidelines not only by the other companies but also by various wage boards and pay commissions in the country. But this company has been struggling a lot because of a minor problem relating to administration of salary and benefits. The problem is stated hereunder.

The company employed nearly 400 national young graduate and post graduate engineers and 20 expatriate engineers. This employee forms the cream of the company’s present human resource. The expatriate employees occupied higher position in all the departments including Human Resource Department. The company’s salary policy and benefit policy were formulated mainly on the basis of the expatriate employee’s desire. The base salary of the company is the same for both the expatriate and national employees. But expatriate receive additional allowances like international market allowance, educational allowance, settling-in allowance, car allowance, housing allowance and entertainment allowance. Thus, expatriate receives nearly 250% more salary than the nationals doing the same job.

The national employees demanded the management to pay equally with that of expatriates immediately. According to them, the pocket frustrates them severely.

QUESTIONS:

1. Identify the crucial issue in this case.

2. From your opinion what are the 3 factors that enables expatriate receives more salary than the nationals who are doing the same job? Explain and justify your statements.
