How can technology harm or create injustice and negative impacts for women, the poor, people of various "body types", or other specific "minority" groups? Discuss several specific examples.

What percentage of physics PhDs leave physics to become quantitative analysts, work in computer science/information technology or business? Is physics that bad that so many people leave? Was it worth it?

The impact of weak internal controls can affect an employee’s fraud behavior. The role of information technology (IT) controls facilitate and help detect fraud.

• Design a method from the accounting information system (AIS) readings to help eliminate such employee fraud activity. Chapter 3 in your textbook discusses the need for a code of ethics and internal controls.

Be sure to respond to at least one of your classmates' posts.

Read Chapter 22 and watch the You tube video and answer the 2 questions . Relate to our current crisis with Covid 19.

1. Will the increased use of these tele-health technology tools be viewed as dehumanizing patient care, or will they be viewed as a means to promote more contact with healthcare providers and new ways for people to stay connected (as in online disease support groups), thereby creating better long-term disease management and patient satisfaction?

2. As tele-health technology advances toward seamless data access regardless of distance or health system, how can patient privacy rights and the confidentiality of personal medical data be protected?

The driving force for HIT adoption is the recognition of human limitations in knowing, retaining and applying exponentially increasing amounts of relevant information to clinical processes. Health care planners could be effective and efficient if they used the concept of the natural history of disease and the levels of prevention to design services that intervene at the weakest link in the chain of progression of specific diseases. Instead, most focus on high-technology solutions to preventable problems while experts know that high-technology solutions do not address health disparities, the major causes of diseases and disabilities. What are some characteristics of the medical care culture that hinder the prevention focus? How can EHR's be used to address health disparities?

A. Who are the individuals that do well in changing labor markets?

What are the main factors that are altering supply and demand in labor markets (select all that apply)

Two firms, firm 1 & firm 2, in a Cournot duopoly are facing the market demand given by P = 140 – 0.4Q, where P is the market price and Q is the market quantity demanded. Firm 1 uses old technology and has (total) cost of production given by C(q1) = 200 + 15q1, where q1 is the quantity produced by firm 1. Firm 2 has managed to introduce a new technology to lower the per unit cost, and its (total) cost of production is now given by C(q2) = 200 + 10q2, where q2 is the quantity produced by firm 2. Referring to SCENARIO 2, find the deadweight loss in the Cournot duopoly equilibrium

Suppose Yamaha and Hero must decide whether to make a new style of side-impact airbags standard equipment on all models. Side-impact airbags raise the price of each automobile by $1,000. The company will earn profits of $2 billion each if they make the airbags. If neither company adopts the technology, each company will earn $3.5 billion. If one company acquire the technology and the other does not, the adopting company will earn a profit of $4.5 billion and the non-acquiring company will earn $0.5 billion.

a. If a decision is to be made for Hero, should the side-impact airbags standard equipment be made?

b. If Yamaha and Hero were able to cooperate, is this expected to bring the same outcome?

Explain how at least one aspect of the medical technology used in this case raises an issue of ethical concern. With this ethical issue in mind, do you think you would elect to have this treatment if you had a condition or injury that could be treated by a similar use of technology? Why or why not. Only in the case of a 42-year-old man who went to the emergency room at Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center in New Jersey immediately following a seizure, the data tracked on his Fitbit helped inform doctors of the appropriate course of action to take to save his life, those docs report in the journal Annals of Emergency Medicine.

When auditing a computerized accounting system, the independent auditor should have a general familiarity with the effects of the use of Information Technology on the various characteristics of accounting control and on the auditor’s study and evaluation of such control. The independent auditor must be aware of those control procedures that are commonly referred to as general controls and those that are commonly referred to as application controls. General controls relate to all Information Technology activities and application controls relate to specific accounting tasks.

Required:

1.What are the general controls that should exist in computerized accounting systems?

2. What are the purposes of each of the following categories of application controls?

Input controls

Processing controls

Output control
