For this assignment, you are going to put your imagination to use.

STEP ONE:

• Please choose an area to describe.
• It may be an area you have driven by but do not know what is in the area.
• It may be in a city, a town, or in the country.
• You get to choose the area for this assignment.
• Draw a map of the area. Create a visual image of the area. Include trees, buildings, equipment, roads, parks, bridges, etc.
• Your map does not need to be drawn to scale.
• Provide a key to your map in the lower right-hand corner.

STEP TWO:

• Write an essay sharing what you observed and why you guessed at the categories of people who live, work, or have lived or worked in the area.
• If the area is run down, shows signs of vandalism, is no longer occupied include in your essay.
• What do you think may go on both inside and outside the area? Homes, storage buildings, parks, motel/hotels both newer/run down or vacant properties
• Are here signs of poverty? Or, are there signs of the properties being well maintained?
• Does the area you chose show signs of low status consistency?
• What are the ramifications both positive and negative, of cultures with low status consistency?
• Try to think of specific examples to support your ideas.

Your essay needs an introduction, body, and conclusion. Grading for this assignment includes points mentioned above and the use of correct grammar and spelling.

Ken Washington, a 61-year-old male patient, arrived today for a follow-up visit from a recent hospitalization for a stroke. Up until his hospitalization, he has had hypertension but no other major health issues. He now has weakness in his left arm and leg, and his speech is difficult to understand. His wife tells you that she has noticed some blood in the toilet after he urinates. She also tells you that he has had some pain when he urinates and often only urinates a small amount. While he was in the hospital, Ken had a urinary catheter in place for 6 days.

Discussion Questions:

1. Is it significant that Ken had a urinary catheter in place for 6 days while he was in the hospital? Why?
2. Dr. Buckwalter plans to send Ken home with a urinary catheter in place. What information can you give him to help him prevent infection?
3. You note on the chart that Dr. Buckwalter wants to see Ken again in 2 days. You ask Ken to schedule an appointment for that time. Ken’s wife states that they are going out of town for a week and will not be able to return until after that time. What should you tell Ken about making an appointment for more than a week?

The Chocolate Ice Cream Company and the Vanilla Ice Cream Company have agreed to merge and form Fudge Swirl Consolidated. Both companies are exactly alike except that they are located in different towns. The end-of-period value of each firm is determined by the weather, as shown below. There will be no synergy to the merger.

The weather conditions in each town are independent of those in the other. Furthermore, each company has an outstanding debt claim of $470,000. Assume that no premiums are paid in the merger.

a. What are the possible values of the combined company? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
  

b. What are the possible values of end-of-period debt and stock after the merger? (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Do not round intermediate calculations.)
  

c. How much do stockholders and bondholders each gain or lose if the merger is undertaken? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations.)
  

Which of these describes a labor market in which most of a small town's workers are employed by one large company?

When a labor market is imperfect due to market power by a firm, the result in that market typically is:

Suppose Alcoa, Inc. is a monopsonist employer in the town of Alcoa, TN. Using the concept of marginal factor cost, each time Alcoa increases the number of workers it hires, it will:

Which measurement rises most quickly as more labor is hired?

Which financial instrument is strictly an IOU?

Following is the case study description from the Epidemiology assignment: A 27-year old white female presented at the walking clinic of her local physician on August 15. On physical exam, the patient had a fever of 38.5C. She appeared fatigued, had tender joints, and complained of a headache, a stiff neck and a backache. The physician noticed a circular "rash" about 5 inches in diameter, with a bright red leading edge and a dim center in the form of a "bull’s eye". The physician noted an irregular heart beat. The patient complained of lack of ability to concentrate.

The patient gave the following history: She is a graduate student in the wildlife program at the university in town. She was in the field for three weeks in Wisconsin during the months of May and June. She tracks small mammals in the field and studies their behavior. It had been a warm, wet spring and she complained of a large number of biting flies, mosquitoes and ticks in the area. She felt well until about 2 weeks after returning to her home. Since that time, many of her symptoms had progressed. She finally found that she could take it no more.

What non-specific (line 1 or line 2) defenses were in place to combat this infection? How do they prevent infections? In what ways could these defenses be breached? (Think about this from the host side, as well as features that the pathogen could have).

A rare form of malignant tumor occurs in 11 children in a​ million, so its probability is 0.000011. Four cases of this tumor occurred in a certain​ town, which had

15915 children.

a. Assuming that this tumor occurs as​ usual, find the mean number of cases in groups of

15915 children.

b. Using the unrounded mean from part

​(a​),

find the probability that the number of tumor cases in a group of

15915

children is 0 or 1.

c. What is the probability of more than one​ case?

d. Does the cluster of four cases appear to be attributable to random​ chance? Why or why​ not?

a. The mean number of cases is

?

​(Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as​ needed.)

b. The probability that the number of cases is exactly 0 or 1 is

?

​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)

c. The probability of more than one case is

?

​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)

d. Let a probability of 0.05 or less be​ "very small," and let a probability of 0.95 or more be​ "very large". Does the cluster of four cases appear to be attributable to random​ chance? Why or why​ not?

A.

​No, because the probability of more than one case is very small.

Your answer is correct.

B.

​Yes, because the probability of more than one case is very small.

C.

​Yes, because the probability of more than one case is very large.

D.

​No, because the probability of more than one case is very large.

Case Study Organophosphate Poisoning

John has a number of prize apple trees in his backyard. To prevent them from becoming infested with insects, he sprayed them with an organophosphate insecticide. He was in a rush to spray the trees before leaving town on vacation, and he failed to pay attention to the safety precautions on the packaging. He sprayed the trees without using any skin or respiratory protection. Soon he experienced severe stomach cramps, double vision, difficulty breathing, and was diagnosed with organophosphate poisoning. While in the emergency room, his physician administered a drug, and soon many of john’s symptoms subsided.

Organophosphate insecticides exert their effects by binding to the enzyme acetylcholinesterase within synaptic clefts, rendering it ineffective. Thus, the organophosphate poison and acetylcholine “compete” for the acetylcholinesterase as the organophosphate poison increases in concentration the enzyme is less effective in degrading acetylcholine. Organophosphate poisons affect synapses in which ACh is the neurotransmitter, including skeletal muscle synapses and some smooth muscle synapses, such as the wall of the stomach, intestines, and air passageways.

Question:
Explain the spastic contractions that occurred in John’s skeletal muscles. Include the function of this enzyme in normal muscle contractions, how increases in acetylcholine and less acetylcholinesterase affects skeletal muscle, what would happen if John did not get to the hospital and why this would happen. To answer this question fully you will write at least a paragraph.
