The human body has several defense mechanisms. “Innate immunity” which is the routine protection
present at birth. This immune system has three general components (first-line defenses, sensor
systems, and innate effectors actions). In addition to the innate defenses, the human body has evolved
a more specialized defense system of “adaptive immunity”. This immune system develops throughout
life as a result of exposure to microbes or certain other types of foreign material, and substantially
increases the host’s ability to defend itself.
White blood cells (or leukocytes) are a major component for both “innate and adaptive immunity”. All
blood cells, including red blood cells and platelets, are originated from the same cell type called
a)_____________ found in the bone marrow, which is induced to develop into the various types of
blood cells by a group of proteins called b)_______________________.
A variety of types of white bloods cells serve specific roles in the innate and adaptive immune system.
There are three major types of white blood cells based on their roles in the innate and adaptive
immunity, such as i) granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils), ii) mononuclear phagocytes
(monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells), and iii) lymphocytes (B cell and T cell, natural killer cells).
1. What is in the blank a)?
2. What is in the blank b)?
3. “This” is one of innate effector actions and must be activated to function such as opsonization, lysis
of foreign cells, and inflammatory response. What is this?
4. Fever is one of the innate effector actions and may reduce the availability of iron. If it is true, “why”
is the iron availability important in body defenses?
5. Adaptive immunity has two strategies as humoral immunity (associated with B lymphocyte or B cell)
and cell-mediated immunity (associated with T lymphocyte or T cell), which is tightly regulated by
an in-active form (naïve) and an active form. “Why” the adaptive immunity is strictly regulated?
6. B cell receptor binds antigens (i.e., B cell activation) and the activated B cell produces B cell
effector molecules; T cell receptor binds antigens (i.e., T cell activation) and the activated T cell
produces T cell effector molecules.
a. What are the B cell effector molecules? List two.
b. What are the T cell effector molecules? List two.

Assignment: Chapter 15 Case Study: A First Interview with Kerrie, the Case Manager

Please read the following case study and answer the questions to the best of your ability.

Case 15.1: A First Interview with Kerrie, the Case Manager

Today, Kerrie, a case manager, is conducting an initial interview with Bernadette. En route to her office from the waiting area, Kerrie remarks to Bernadette that she understands that Bernadette has come to the agency because her children were removed from the home. Bernadette nods.

Once in Kerrie's office, Bernadette shares with Kerrie that she was court-mandated to come to the agency for services, specifically to work on her problems with addiction and to learn better parenting skills. Bernadette says she was told that all of this must be accomplished before her children can be returned to her. Kerrie tells Bernadette that she was also addicted to heroin at one time, and then confides to Bernadette that she didn't lose her children because she was "too smart for that!" Kerrie laughs when she says this. Kerrie then points to pictures of her grown children and proudly announces that the older one just graduated with a major in pre-med from the local university.

Kerrie explains to Bernadette several agency policies and practices, including the agency's payment arrangements and confidentiality regulations. Kerrie then invites Bernadette to tell her what happened that precipitated Bernadette's children being removed from her care. As Bernadette talks about her addiction, her friends, her church, and the episode that led to her losing her children, Kerrie uses reflective listening, nodding, and leaning forward to hear what Bernadette is telling her. Kerrie asks Bernadette why she thinks she became addicted in the first place.

At the end of Bernadette's narrative, Kerrie stands up and tells Bernadette she has a good idea now about what the problem is and what she needs. Kerrie tells Bernadette that she will follow up soon to let Bernadette know what the agency can offer her. Kerrie opens the door, smiling, and nods for Bernadette to leave. Bernadette seems unsure of which way to go, so Kerrie points down the hall to the left and goes back in her office.

1. In this case, what did Kerrie do or say that was NOT professional or helpful?

2. What did Kerrie do or say that WAS professional and helpful? 3. What additional information should Kerrie have offered before Bernadette left?

3. What additional information should Kerrie have offered before Bernadette left?

3. How did the physician defend his refusal to allow the "boys" access to penicillin?
4. How did participation in the study alter their lives and health?
5. What was more important: a group of individuals being negatively affected in a study or the scientific knowledge that could be gained.

Your employer, a midsized human resources management company, is considering expansion into related fields, including the acquisition of Temp Force Company, an employment agency that supplies word processor operators and computer programmers to businesses with temporarily heavy workloads. Your employer is also considering the purchase of Biggerstaff & McDonald (B&M), a privately held company owned by two friends, each with 5 million shares of stock. B&M currently has free cash flow of $24 million, which is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5%. B&M’s financial statements report short-term investments of $100 million, debt of $200 million, and preferred stock of $50 million. B&M’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 11%.

A) What is free cash flow (FCF)? What is the weighted average cost of capital? What is the free cash flow valuation model?

B) Use a pie chart to illustrate the sources that comprise a hypothetical company’s total value. Using another pie chart, show the claims on a company’s value. How is equity a residual claim?

C) Suppose the free cash flow at Time 1 is expected to grow at a constant rate of gL forever. If gL < WACC, what is a formula for the present value of expected free cash flows when discounted at the WACC? If the most recent free cash flow is expected to grow at a constant rate of gL forever (and gL < WACC), what is a formula for the present value of expected free cash flows when discounted at the WACC?

Your employer, a midsized human resources management company, is considering expansion into related fields, including the acquisition of Temp Force Company, an employment agency that supplies word processor operators and computer programmers to businesses with temporarily heavy workloads. Your employer is also considering the purchase of Biggerstaff & McDonald (B&M), a privately held company owned by two friends, each with 5 million shares of stock. B&M currently has free cash flow of $24 million, which is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5%. B&M’s financial statements report short-term investments of $100 million, debt of $200 million, and preferred stock of $50 million. B&M’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 11%.

You have just learned that B&M has undertaken a major expansion that will change its expected free cash flows to −$10 million in 1 year, $20 million in 2 years, and $35 million in 3 years. After 3 years, free cash flow will grow at a rate of 5%. No new debt or preferred stock were added, the investment was financed by equity from the owners. Assume the WACC is unchanged at 11% and that there are still 10 million shares of stock outstanding.

A) What is its horizon value (i.e., its value of operations at year three)? What is its current value of operations (i.e., at time zero)?

B) What is its value of equity on a price per share basis?

C) If B&M undertakes the expansion, what percent of B&M’s value of operations at Year 0 is due to cash flows from Years 4 and beyond?
Hint: use the horizon value at t = 3 to help answer this question.

A recently published article included data from a survey of 2186 hiring managers and human resource professionals. The article noted that many employers are using social networks to screen job applicants and that this practice is becoming more common. Of the 2186 people who participated in the survey, 1312 indicated that they use social networking sites (such as Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn) to research job applicants. Based on the survey data, is there convincing evidence that fewer than two-thirds of hiring managers and HR professionals use social networking sites in this way?
