34. The antibiotic penicillin works by blocking the formation of the cell wall that is present in certain types of bacteria: it kills these bacteria without harming human cells (because human cells lack cell walls). Using this strategy: imagine you are a scientist who is trying to develop a new drug. You want to develop a drug that will kill plants (weeds) in your backyard, without harming any animals. Give three possible parts of the cell you would target AND explain why?

Facebook has long conducted digital experiments on various aspects of its website. For example, just before the 2012 election, the company conducted an experiment on the News Feeds of nearly 2 million users so that they would see more “hard news” shared by their friends. In the experiment, news articles that Facebook users' friends had posted appeared higher in their Newsfeeds. Facebook claimed that the news stories being shared were general in nature and not political. The stories originated from a list of 100 top media outlets from the New York Times to Fox News. Industry analysts claim that the change may have boosted voter turnout by as much as 3 percent. Read Chater 3, Closing Case found on page 83.  

Questions

  1. Discuss the ethicality and legality of Facebook's experiment with human emotions.
  2. Was Facebook's response to criticism concerning that experiment adequate? Why or why not?
  3. Consider the experiments that Facebook conducted in May and June 2015. Is there a difference between these two experiments and Facebook's experiment with human emotions? Why or why not?
  4. Should the law require companies to inform their users every time they conduct experiments? Why or why not?

The hiring committee made a job offer to Sharon Adams, and she accepted. She will start her new job in three weeks. As IT department intern, you were asked to set up an orientation for her, including meetings with human resources, users, and the IT team. She also would go on a tour of the company, and confirm a security clearance. After thinking about this, you come up with a suggested orientation schedule, as follows:

First, Sharon would meet with human resources to learn about company benefits and policies (3 hours). When that meeting is over, she could handle three tasks at once: she could tour the company offices (4 hours), meet with users (3 hours), and work on the necessary paperwork (2 hours). After the tour and user meetings, she could meet with the IT managers (1 hour). Then, after meeting the IT managers and with all the paperwork completed, she would meet with the entire IT team for a brief introduction (1 hour).

Task 1. Prepare a work breakdown structure showing tasks, durations, and predecessor tasks. Task 2. Calculate the start and finish date for each task, and determine the critical path

Cycling. For a touring bicyclist the drag coefficient C1ƒ = 1 CArv22 is 1.00, the frontal area A is 0.463 m^2, and the coefficient of rolling friction is 0.0045. The rider has mass 50.0 kg, and her bike has mass 12.0 kg. (a) To maintain a speed of 12.0 m/s (about 27 mi/h) on a level road, what must the rider’s power output to the rear wheel be? (b) For racing, the same rider uses a different bike with coefficient of rolling friction 0.0030 and mass 9.00 kg. She also crouches down, reducing her drag coefficient to 0.88 and reducing her frontal area to 0.366 m^2. What must her power output to the rear wheel be then to maintain a speed of 12.0 m/s? (c) For the situation in part (b), what power output is required to maintain a speed of 6.0 m/s? Note the great drop in power requirement when the speed is only halved. (For more on aerodynamic speed limitations for a wide variety of human-powered vehicles, see “The Aerodynamics of Human-Powered Land Vehicles,” Scientific American, December 1983.)

- It is often easier to see manifestations of women’s oppression in cultures other than our own, since they don’t seem “natural” to us. However, as we have seen in class, for every issue we have located in “other cultures” we can find an analogous manifestation in the culture(s) of the United States that reveals a shared rootedness in patriarchal society. Offer and explain U.S. analogues to three of the following: stark division of gender roles, son preference, child marriage, and control of women’s sexuality.

-Discuss the origins of human rights discourse and the extent to which it has been applied (or not) to women’s issues we have discussed in class. Provide examples of how women’s lives (stories, issues, voices, ideas) continue to be "silenced" around the world.

- Family has been described as a “mythical haven.” Even though many of us find love and support among and within our families, statistically, it can be a dangerous place for women around the globe and in the U.S. How exactly is it “dangerous” in the context of women’s human rights? Why is it difficult to make motherhood, marriage and family “safe spaces” for women?

Antibiotics are used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections and have saved millions of lives since they were first introduced in the 1940s and 1950s. However, due to both overuse and misuse, many are no longer effective and The World Health Organisation (WHO) considers the emergence of new antibiotic-resistant bacteria to be a serious threat to global public health.

According to their mechanism of action, antibiotics can be divided into three main groups, those inhibiting cell wall synthesis, those inhibiting protein synthesis and those that inhibit nucleic acid synthesis. For example, penicillin and its related compounds prevent susceptible bacteria from creating a cell wall. They do this by binding to and inactivating an enzyme (transpeptidase) necessary for the cross-linking of peptidoglycan in the wall, thus stopping its formation. Resistance to this antibiotic is due to the bacteria producing its own enzyme called beta-lactamase which breaks the ring structure of the penicillin and prevents its ability to bind to the bacterial transpeptidase.

As with all proteins, beta-lactamase is encoded by a section of DNA – but how does that DNA and the ability to produce a new protein transfer from one population of bacteria that have resistance to another population that don’t?

Other than direct transfer from parent to daughter cell, horizontal transmission of DNA between different genomes also occurs. Horizontal gene transfer is made possible by the existence of mobile genetic elements, such as plasmids (extrachromosomal genetic material), transposons (“jumping genes”) and bacteria-infecting viruses (bacteriophages). These elements are transferred between organisms through different mechanisms, which in prokaryotes include transformation, conjugation, and transduction.

  • Write a sentence for each of these mechanisms describing the manner in which the DNA can be transferred from one cell to another.
  • Choose a disease or an organism that has a well-documented mechanism of resistance (such as methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus - MRSA or tuberculosis) and see if you can identify the gene or genes that confer resistance and the method of DNA transfer thought to contribute to its spread. This may be from one organism to another or may simply be passed down from mother to daughter cell due to environmental pressure.
  • Finally, discuss the danger that antibiotic resistance poses in today’s society, consider how man has contributed to this and suggest any strategies that you think may be able to halt it or prevent its expansion
