Compare and contrast strategic controls and financial controls. Provide specific examples of how each may be used to best serve a corporation.

As a strategic leader, determine if you would feel ethically responsible for developing your firmbs human capital and state why. Discuss whether or not you believe your position is consistent with the majority or minority of today's strategic leaders.

How do you think two crucial research events—the creation of the Nuremberg Code and the U.S.
Public Health Service Syphilis study at Tuskegee—influenced the role of Institutional Review
Boards (IRBs) in the study design process?
how you think the Belmont Report: Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of
Human Subjects of Research also influences IRBs.

Now watch the video that follows about the receiving function within an Amazon warehouse. Without worrying yet about specifics from future chapters or the purchase-to-pay business process at all, describe your general observations about the use of human assistance vs. robotic assistance in receiving and shipping and make general conclusions about the types of tasks in each area that are best suited for robots vs. humans. Does the receiving process look like an area that could ever "go fully robotic"? Why or why not?

As defined by economic historian Douglass North,” institutions are the rules of the game in a society or, more formally, are the humanly devised constraints that shape human interaction.”

Does the role of institutions or geography offer a more plausible explanation of cross-country differences in economic growth? Explain with reference to the work of Daron Acemoglu.

How does the institution hypothesis explain the difference, in terms of economic growth, between North and South Korea?

How is Gross Domestic Product (GDP) calculated using expenditure-based accounting (3 points)

In this module, you have learned about various economic markets including goods that a government does not allow to be sold in a market. Do you believe there should be limitations of these items?  For example, should there be a market for human kidneys? If people can sell their sperm or their eggs, why should kidneys be any different?

• Define demand, supply, and equilibrium in markets for goods and services.
• Identify factors that cause shifts in demand and supply for good and services.
• Describe how changes in supply and demand change equilibrium price and quantity.

Communication by the nervous system depends on the flow of information through chains of neurons that are functionally connected by synapses. The most common synapse in the human body is the chemical synapse.

1. Define chemical synapse. 3 points
2. Describe the chain of events that occur at a chemical synapse. (HINT: Your answer should begin with an action potential arriving at an axon terminal.) 5 points
3. What events account for the synaptic delay? 2 points
4. Give one example of a chemical synapse that we have discussed in BIOL 2120K. 3 points

A novel chimeric monoclonal antibody (Nocatmab) has been developed for the treatment of tetanospasmin toxicity, one of the most potent and dangerous toxins known in modern medicine. Each molecule of Nocatmab inactivates four molecules of tetanospasmin. Knowing that the lethal dose for tetanospasmin is 2.5 ng/kg for a human adult, and that the MW (Molecular Weight) of tetanospasmin is 150,020 amu, can you calculate the minimal dose of Nocatmab (MW 348,055 amu) required to treat a subject who weighs 63 kg and has recieved a lethal dose of tetanospasmin?
