End user computing------in some cases an organization’s information system (IS) is planned and centered on specific goals; in other cases, technology is an afterthought to the actual business objectives. Can you think of examples of how technology has altered the way we do business today? Were those changes and implementations accomplished by understanding the goals of the business?

In two paragraph, explain the hierarchical structure of a system that you have worked on and how emergence affects the levels in the systems hierarchy. Provide details and apply what you learned here to discuss what (if any) changes you would have done, if you have to do it all over again.

Select a policy that meets the following criteria (if need be, two out of the three will work as well).

  • a policy that could diminish racial or gender inequality on some dimension (wages, housing, etc).
  • a policy that could target the wealthy - but NOT an income tax on millionaires
  • a policy that could target extreme poverty.

Next, select another policy from a different jurisdiction to analyze the differences and answer the following:

1. Briefly describe the main components of each policy.

2. Why would this policy lead to changes in inequality, that is: What economic changes and results do you expect? By what mechanism would change happen? What measures of inequality, wealth, or poverty do you think would change as a result of the policy? What distributional effects would there be or what overall effects on the economy in the jurisdiction?

4. Design a research experiment plan to survey and test the proposed recommendations. What would be the research design? What are some important research methods concerns people should be aware of? What would be some limitations to an experiment?

  1. Suppose you own a local restaurant chain that sells through brick & mortar locations and also offers take-out and characterized by the following demand and supply curves

Qd = 3,0000,000 – 600P + 200M

Qs = 1,000,000 + 400P

  1. Assume M=15,000. Find the market price and quantity for your firm.
  1. Assume COVID hits and since consumers are reluctant to leave their homes and dine-in but still buy take-out, the demand changes to

Qd = 2,000,000 – 600P + 200M; M=15,000

Find the market price and quantity for your firm.

  1. Building on the situation in b, suppose the Governor forces you to close your dine-in facilities and supply changes to

Qs = 400P

Find the market price and quantity for your firm.

  1. Building on the situations in band c, suppose a recession develops and reduces income by 1/3, which now cuts into your take-out sales.

Find the market price and quantity for your firm.

Explain what is happening to the prospects for your firm.

Suppose the economy is operating in long-run equilibrium and a positive demand shock hits. We expect a short-run increase in real GDP and the price level and a long-run _____ in real GDP (in comparison to the then short run GDP) and _____ the price level (in comparison to the then short run price level).

increase; decrease
decrease; increase
increase; increase

decrease; decrease

Changes in aggregate demand can be caused by changes in:
business costs.
raw materials costs.
the expenses of complying with government regulations.

the stock of physical capital.

An inflationary gap will be eliminated because there is _____ pressure on wages, shifting the _____.
downward; long-run aggregate supply curve to the left
upward; short-run aggregate supply curve to the left
downward; long-run aggregate supply curve to the right
downward; aggregate demand curve to the left
In the short run, the equilibrium price level and the equilibrium level of total output are determined by the intersection of:
LRAS and aggregate demand.
SRAS and aggregate demand.
potential output and LRAS.
LRAS and SRAS.

Panamint Systems Corporation is estimating activity costs associated with producing disk drives, tapes drives, and wire drives. The indirect labor can be traced to four separate activity pools. The budgeted activity cost and activity base data by product are provided below.


Activity Cost

Activity Base
Procurement $322,900 Number of purchase orders
Scheduling $233,900 Number of production orders
Materials handling $499,900 Number of moves
Product development $783,400 Number of engineering changes

QUESTION: Suppose the government borrows $5 billion more next year than this year (for example, theymove from a balanced budget to a $5 billion deficit or from a $10 billion deficit to a $15 billiondeficit).

a. Use a supply-and-demand diagram to analyse this policy. Does the interest rate rise or fall?

b. What happens to investment? To private saving? To public saving? To national saving?Compare the size of the equilibrium changes with the $5 billion of extra borrowing. Is it thesame, less, or more? Carefully explain why and distinguish the various movements in thediagram.

c. How do the elasticities of supply of and demand for loanable funds (i.e. the slopes of thecurves) affect the size of these changes? (Hint: See chapter 5 to review the definition ofelasticity.)

d. Suppose households believe that greater government saving today implies lower future taxessince there will be little government debt. What does this belief do to private saving and thesupply of loanable funds today? Does it increase or decrease the effects you discussed inparts (a) and (b)?

A nurse on the research and practice committee is preparing for an update on evidence-based practice (EBP). There is a need to address the potential changes with several EBP policies. This presentation will examine the EBP policies as well as reasoning and rationale as to why changes may be needed.

Choose an EBP topic and two scholarly peer-reviewed journal articles

Compare the difference between theory, research, and practice in nursing

Choose a theory that best correlates with the EBP practice change that you would like to make

Compare and contrast the quantitative and qualitative research article that you choose for the EBP topic

What technology did you use to locate the articles? Databases? Search terms?

What are the philosophical, theoretical, and methodological perspectives in the research articles that were chosen?

What are the ethical and scientific integrity issues related to the research?

How did your nursing knowledge advance through the utilization of research?

The peer reviewed topic is on hand washing you can choose two scholarly journals on hand washing, i will just need the references

What is the multivalue, multicolumn problem? What is a multivalued dependency, and how is it resolved by 4NF? To answer these questions, alter exercise 2.40 to allow students to have multiple majors. In this case, the relational structure is: STUDENT (StudentNumber, StudentName, SiblingName, Major) A. Define and discuss the multivalue, multicolumn problem. Define and discuss a multivalued dependency. B. Show an example of this relation for two students, one of whom has three siblings and the other of whom has one sibling. Assume that each student has a single major. C. Show the data changes necessary to add a second major for only the first student. D. Based on your answer to part C, show the data changes necessary to add a second major for the second student. E. Explain the differences in your answers to parts C and D. Comment on the desirability of this situation. F. Define and discuss 4NF, and how 4NF can be used to allow a set of wellformed relations. . Divide this relation into a set of well-formed
