Let us take an example of health care services that transcends country boundaries. Let us take treatment services when a patient travels to another country. How does a patient traveling to another country and paying for his/her treatment relate to national and global trade opportunities? How does an organization, in this case a health care insurance or agency, benefit from individual’s decision to cover their treatment while on international travel? Thanks.

give us your version of Emil Fischer's proof of the structure of glucose. You do not need to flesh out Fischer's proof to reveal the structures of all the D-aldopentoses and D-aldohexoses, but you do have to show us structures for the four sugars (three D, one L) that come directly from the Fischer proof, the determination of the structure of D-Ribose, and mechanisms for all reactions you (and Emil Fischer) use(d).

Fraud case - A USA public company doing business in Freedonia (a made up name from...

Fraud case - A USA public company doing business in Freedonia (a made up name from another Marx Brothers movie!) is compelled to bribe local officials in order to be the first to receive a business license for a certain type of industry there. The competition is fierce, but local government officials have unabashedly spread the word that under the table bribery payments to them from the USA company can seal the deal and that's why the USA company is feeling the pressure to participate in the bribe. This would be a violation of the FCPA.

The USA company participates in the fraud, bribing the government officials sufficiently to get the license first, before their competition. The payments are on the books, but hidden, so to speak, in order to get the tax deduction. The payments are cleverly disguised in the expense accounts to appear as normal expenditures. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), we saw that a key to reducing the penalty is through keeping books and records that are clean and transparent

You are the USA government investigator searching for the fraud after the US government has been tipped off that the fraud happened in Freedonia.

  1. What income statement expense accounts would you research for evidence of bribery payments being made even though not so indicated as bribery payments?
  2. What type of evidence would you be looking to gather to prove the case?

For centuries, people have believed myths and misconceptions about psychological disorders and the people who suffer from them. Modern psychological research has allowed us to correct some of these misconceptions. As a result, many people have changed their ideas about mental and emotional disorders. Think of a common misconception you have observed in society or in your personal experience. How could information from research be used to change people's views of psychological disorders? How can this information help us to better understand people who experience mental and emotional disorders?

In a multi-paragraph essay, describe the misconception you observed and discuss how information from research could be used to change this misconception about psychological disorders and the people who suffer from them.

San Jose Mercury News, March 31, 2020: “As classes go online, students want Stanford to lower tuition”: “Thousands of Stanford students are asking for a discount in tuition for this quarter --- up to 80% --- as, (as one student leader stated): “the online education will affect our EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE – (the caps are mine) – interacting with faculty and peers … (is)… a more ESSENTIAL PART of our time spent at Stanford” …. Online education “makes us UNABLE TO ENJOY AN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE QUALIFIED FOR THE $10,000 (tuition only) that we spent for this Spring quarter”…. “if the experience is not IMMERSIVE, then IT IS NOT FULL AND DOES NOT DESERVE THE PRICE TAG”……. QUESTIONS!

A. Should students be given a discount on tuition this quarter (or semester) owing to classes going online? (you did not SIGN UP for this, right???) Why or why not? At Stanford? At EVC? Is there a difference?

B. Is your answer any different for GRADUATE students in law and medicine? Why or why not? C. Stanford has offered to let students take a quarter off, thus delaying… THE REST OF THEIR LIVES…..in your opinion, why may this solution be… ‘less than optimal’? D. Is it relevant that Stanford is sitting on MANY TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN ENDOWMENTS, --- one of the highest in the nation -- and could EASILY AFFORD to give their students a discount of 80% for one quarter?

E. WHAT SHOULD STANFORD DO? Offer an 80% discount? 100%? 50 %? 30%? No discount at all? Should it vary depending on the INCOME of the student and her family---- (just like the tuition itself, and room and board expenses)?

F. May we agree that students who were living in the dorms should be reimbursed for their HOUSING costs, given that they were KICKED OUT (evicted)? What about students who had been renting apartments from landlords in and around Palo Alto? Should they be treated differently? Why or why not? (Many landlords will suffer a huge drop in income in 2020) G. WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR MOST CHALLENGING OBSTACLE, IN TERMS OF TAKING AND COMPLETING YOUR CLASSES ONLINE, SINCE MARCH 10, 2020? IN YOUR OPINION, HOW HAS THE QUALITY OF YOUR EDUCATION CHANGED?

H. IS THIS ISSUE IN YOUR ‘TOP TEN’ LIST OF PROBLEMS RIGHT NOW, IN YOUR OPINION? Top 5? Top 3? WHY OR WHY NOT?
