Fetal heart rate changes in labor
Renee is a 22 year old G2 P0 at 42 weeks of gestation in active spontaneous labor. Her pregnancy has been complicated by mild hypertension, but no medications were needed. She is 4 cm/100/0 station, vertez
position. Her membranes have just ruptured, and there is thick meconium staining. She is comfortable and using epidural anesthesia.
1. What risk factors are present that may impact the way this fetus tolerates labor?
2. The fetal heart rate shows a rate of 140, moderate variability, no accelererations, and decelerations to 120 beginning after the peak of most contractions and recovering to baseline 30 seconds after the contraction ends. Contractions are every 4 minutes. How should the nurse describe this pattern?
3. What should the nurse do at this point?
4. Renee is now 8/100/0. She has the above actions that you put in place. The fetal heart rate is 145. There is moderate variability. Accelerations are not present. There are decelerations in the fetal heart rate beginning at the onset of a contraction, descending to 120 with recovery by the end of a contraction. The contractions are every 3 minutes now. How would the nurse describe the fetal heart reate pattern now?
5. Renee is now completely dilated and +1 station. She has been instructed to push with every contraction. The fetal heart rate is now 164. There is absen variability and decelerations to 120 are occurring with maternal pushing, which do not resolve until 30 seconds after the contraction. The contractions are every 1 1/2 minute. How should the nurse describe this pattern?
6. What should the nurse do in this situation?

Evaluating inventory cost flow changes (LO 9-4)

The following is an excerpt from the financial statements of Talbot Industries:

Effective September 30, 2016, the Company changed its method of accounting for inventories from the LIFO method principally to the Specific Identification method, because, in the opinion of management, there is a better matching of revenues and expenses, better correlation of accounting and financial information with the method by which the Company is managed, and better presentation of inventories at values that more fairly present the inventories’ cost.

During 2017, Chaney Technologies changed its inventory cost flow assumption from LIFO to the average cost method. The following is an excerpt from Chaney Technologies financial statements.

The change to the average cost method will conform all inventories of the Company to the same method of valuation. The Company believes that the average cost method of inventory valuation provides a more meaningful presentation of the financial position of the Company since it reflects more recent costs in the balance sheet. Under the current economic environment of low inflation and an expected reduction in inventories and low production costs, the Company believes that the average cost method also results in a better matching of current costs with current revenues.

Required:

1. Evaluate each of the justifications provided by Talbot for changing its inventory cost flow assumption.

2. Evaluate each of the justifications provided by Chaney Technologies for changing its inventory cost flow assumption.

Q1. (a) Sudajaya Berhad is contemplating making several changes in its working
capital management. Firstly, Sudajaya Berhad is considering the change of its
current ordering policy to the economic order quantity model (EOQ). The
demand for its products is forecasted to be 160,000 units in the coming year
and it has traditionally ordered 10% of its annual demand per order. The
ordering cost is expected to be RM400 per order while the holding cost is
expected to be RM5.12 per unit per year. A buffer inventory of 5,000 units
will be maintained, whether orders are made by the traditional method or the
EOQ model. Secondly, on its receivables management, Sudajaya Berhad is
evaluating the introduction of an early settlement discount of 2% for
customers who pay within 30 days with a maximum average payment period
of 60 days for credit customers who do not take up the discount. It is expected
that 25% of credit customers will take up the discount if it were offered.
Moreover, it is forecasted that administration and operating cost savings of
RM753,000 per year will be made after improving operational procedures and
introducing the early settlement discount. Credit sales of Sudajaya Berhad are
currently RM87.6 million per year and trade receivables are currently RM18
million. Credit sales are not expected to change as a result of the changes in
receivables management. The company has a cost of short-term finance of
5.5% per year.

Required:
(i) Compare and contrast the cost of the current ordering policy and the
cost of the proposed ordering policy using the EOQ model. Appraise
whether the EOQ model should be adopted.

(ii) Evaluate the feasibility of the proposed changes in receivables
management. Assuming that only 25% of customers take up the early
settlement discount, determine the maximum early settlement discount
that could be offered.

(b) Working capital management inadvertently involves trade-off between
profitability and liquidity. Justify why striking a balance between profitability
and liquidity is crucial in managing an efficient working capital.

Question from Operating Systems

Proc,Forks,Exec

Examine the code given and do changes as mentioned in the steps below:

#include "HALmod.h"

int GetCommand (string tokens [])
{
string commandLine;
bool commandEntered;
int tokenCount;

do
{
cout << "HALshell> ";
while (1)
{
getline (cin, commandLine);
commandEntered = CheckForCommand ();
if (commandEntered)
{
break;
}

}
} while (commandLine.length () == 0);

tokenCount = TokenizeCommandLine (tokens, commandLine);

return tokenCount;
}

int TokenizeCommandLine (string tokens [], string commandLine)
{
char *token [MAX_COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENTS];
char *workCommandLine = new char [commandLine.length () + 1];
int i;
int tokenCount;

for (i = 0; i < MAX_COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENTS; i ++)
{
tokens [i] = "";
}
strcpy (workCommandLine, commandLine.c_str ());
i = 0;
if ((token [i] = strtok (workCommandLine, " ")) != NULL)
{
i ++;
while ((token [i] = strtok (NULL, " ")) != NULL)
{
i ++;
}
}
tokenCount = i;

for (i = 0; i < tokenCount; i ++)
{
tokens [i] = token [i];
}

delete [] workCommandLine;

return tokenCount;
}

//Do not touch the below function
bool CheckForCommand ()
{
if (cullProcess)
{
cullProcess = 0;
cin.clear ();
cout << "\b\b \b\b";
return false;
}

return true;
}

int ProcessCommand (string tokens [], int tokenCount)
{
if (tokens [0] == "shutdown" || tokens [0] == "restart" || tokens [0] == "lo")
{
   if (tokenCount > 1)
   {
        cout << "HALshell: " << tokens [0] << " does not require any arguments" << endl;
   return 1;
   }
   cout << endl;
   cout << "HALshell: terminating ..." << endl;

return 0;
  
}
else
   return 1;
}
char ** ConvertToC (string tokens [], int tokenCount)
{
char ** words;
words = (char **) malloc (sizeof (char*) * tokenCount);

for (int i=0; i<tokenCount; i++)
{
words[i]=strdup(tokens[i].c_str());
}
return words;
}

Step 1- Modify the "ConvertToC" function ( last function) as mentioned:

1. allocate an extra "word" for NULL (Hint: tokenCount+1)
2. store the value of NULL into the extra "word"

Step 2- Modify the "ProcessCommand" function ( second last function) as mentioned:

You will be emulating a shell. First, the shell checks for specific commands ("shutdown", "lo", etc). If it does not recognize those commands then, a fork occurs and the child will execute the command as typed.

The algorithm to implement is as follows (Hint: add code inside the else):

1. fork to create a child and parent

2. the child will do the following:
Call the ConverToC function and capture the return into a char** variable
Call execvp sending it two arguments: the first element (or word) of the char** variable, and the entire array
Print an error message
exit

3. the parent will do the following:
wait for the child
return 1

4. don't forget to handle the error case of the fork

//Dont try to run the program, just do the following steps.
