Newsoft is a computer software company that is setting up a new program design facility in a nation that the company has not had any relationship with before. Yusuf is the Human Resource manager for the entire company. He is considering two different candidates to be the Operations manager of the new facility, Maria (who is a woman) and Raj (who is a man). Maria is better qualified than Raj for this new opportunity and is Jared’s preferred choice. Jared then learns from the Property manager, who has just returned from building the new facility, that this nation has a culture and laws that favour males in the workplace. Yusuf realizes that if he chooses Maria to be the new Operations manager, he will certainly be altering local customs and possibly violating the law. Who should Yusuf send to be the Operations manager of the new facility? [Who should Yusuf send if the local customs and laws promoted a particular race and Raj was a member of that race? Who should Yusuf send if the local customs and laws promoted right-handed people and Maria was left-handed?]

Feminized faces in TV commercials. Television commercials most often employ females or “feminized” males to pitch a company’s product. Research published in Nature (August 27 1998) revealed that people are, in fact, more attracted to “feminized” faces, regardless of gender. In one experiment, 50 human subjects viewed both a Japanese female face and a Caucasian male face on a computer. Using special computer graphics, each subject could morph the faces (by making them more feminine or more masculine) until they attained the “most attractive” face. The level of feminization x (measured as a percentage) was measured.

a. For the Japanese female face, x = 10.2% and s = 31.3%. The researchers used this sample information to test the null hypothesis of a mean level of feminization equal to 0%. Verify that the test statistic is equal to 2.3.

b. Refer to part a. The researchers reported the p-value of the test as p = .021. Verify and interpret this result.

Nursing Facilities and Adult Daycare

Assume you are responsible for the management and administration of the two facilities. You have to orient the newly appointed manager by providing an overview on managing long-term care. You also need to discuss the programs of the two facilities. From this perspective and based on your research about the facilities, prepare a Microsoft Word document including the following:

·      What are the various multidisciplinary departments (teams) included in your facilities?

·      Who comprise the target population being served by the various programs provided by your chosen facilities?

·      What are the major staffing and human resource issues faced by your chosen facilities?

·      What are the significant trends in long-term care likely to impact the operation of the various programs provided by your chosen facilities, and what is your plan of action to overcome them?

·      What are the various forms of cooperation and integration existing in your chosen facilities? Discuss the nature of management, financing, and quality issues related to integration and cooperation in the facilities?

In class we discussed the concept of wage differentials. Historically, a correlation has existed between educational attainment and income level. Acquiring more education (human capital) has always been promoted as a means of escaping poverty. Unfortunately, due to rising college costs, students have taken on unprecedented levels of student loan debt. For this paper, you will research (with a minimum of three additional resources) the "student loan bubble" and proposed solutions to assist the impacted economic actors.

The paper should address some of these main issues:

• Rising college costs and the reason for them.
• Is a college degree still worth the investment?
• What has been the trend in student loan debt over time?
• What are the individual and societal consequences of excessive student loan debt?
• What are some current proposals or programs aimed at solving the problem?
• What are some counter-arguments against student debt forgiveness?
• What responsibility should be borne by the borrower for the problem?
• Should college be reformed and if so what a reform look like?

Please answer all

1. The loss of Smad4 coupled with the loss of PTEN is not common in human cancers because both mutations lead to suppression of TGF- signals. A) True B) False

2. Tumor-promoting phorbol esters such as TPA mimic the lipid second messenger diacylglycerol. The tumor promoting effects are most likely due to the suppression of TGF signals. A) True B) False

3. EGF signals are enhanced by proton pumps that reduce the pH in endosomes carrying the endocytosed EGF receptor. A) True B) False

4. While it is widely believed that the GTPase Rheb directly activates mTORC1, the ability of PA (18:1-16:0) to activate mTORC1 in the absence of Rheb strongly suggests that it is the ability of Rheb to activate PLD that is the last step in the activation mTORC1. A) True B) False

Short of Workers, Fast-Food Restaurants Turn to Robots

Employment opportunity in the hospitality market has never been higher. More restaurants are making efforts to deliver food and stay open later, therefore are in need of more employees. As a result, approximately 850,000 jobs in the hospitality industry are unfilled. Restaurant owners are turning to new technology to try and replace workers. For owners, it is expensive to constantly train and replace workers. In the food business, there is significant uncertainty with length of employment. Many people will take a job temporarily while they search for something with better pay. Robots would be able to eliminate this risk, but only for certain automated processes. The social aspect of having a human take your order is very important to the customer base.

1.) Other than upfront cost, what are some of the down sides associated with replacing humans with robots?

2.) What are good ways to mitigate risk when testing new technology in an unproven market?

3.) Overall, do you think the benefits outweigh the risk?
