Here is a data set on bird populations with color variation. The Y gene is autosomal with a Y allele (yellow plumage) and y allele (brown plumage), where Y is dominant to y (Y > y). The survey shows phenotypic frequencies for a large mainland population on the coast of Ecuador and a small island population. The island population was founded in 1960 by a small flock of birds. Thereafter, there has been some gene flow between the mainland and the island. Answer the following questions based on these data.

Census year                            Mainland                                            Island

                                    yellow             brown                          yellow             brown            

1960                            4,550               451                                4                  12

1970                            4,157               438                            58                  78

1980                            4,653               399                            203                  99

1990                            4,159               404                            367                  35

24. For 1970, estimate m, the rate of gene flow from the mainland to the island population. HINT: The simplest way to do this is to focus on the frequency of the recessive allele, f(y). Calculate f(y) on the mainland and island populations in 1960 (initial frequencies) and on the island population for 1970 (projected frequency). Then solve for m.

Bagby Copy Company is a worldwide producer of copy machines. It manufactures 10 different copiers, ranging from low-end desktop copiers that sell for a few hundred dollars to high-volume docu- ment machines that retail for over $200,000. Each copy machine requires a wiring bundle. Each bundle contains several hundred wires and connectors that provide circuits connecting the paper-flow units, scanner, and photoreceptor to the internal computer logic. The wire harness is plugged into various components during the assem- bly process. It is possible to assign each major task in this process to different employees. For example, a given employee might focus on one of the many connectors or on testing the completed wire har- ness. Alternatively, one individual might be as- signed the task of producing and testing a completed harness. In either case, there is a group of employees that is assigned individual tasks to produce a wire har- ness for a particular copier. In total, there are 10 subgroups of wire harness makers. One alternative is to place all 10 groups in one wire harness depart- ment. Another alternative is that each of these 10 subgroups can be assigned to and report to a man- ager responsible for a particular copier. Bagby operates in five European countries. Currently, it has separate subunits in each country, where a country manager handles the manufactur- ing and marketing of all 10 copiers. The company is considering two alternatives. One would be to organize its foreign operations around products. In this case, there would be 10 international prod- uct managers with decision rights for managing the manufacturing and sale of a particular copier throughout Europe. The company also is consider- ing a matrix organization, organized around product and country. 1. What are the trade-offs that Bagby faces in choosing between specialized and broad task assignment? 2. What are the trade-offs between these two methods of grouping wire harness makers into subgroups? 3. Which trade-offs does Bagby face in choosing among the country, product, and matrix forms of organizing its international operations?

FINAL MEDICAL ETHICS CASE STUDY

A twenty-year-old Latinx is brought to a hospital emergency room, having suffered abdominal injuries due to gunshot wounds received in gang violence. He has no medical insurance, and his stay in the hospital is somewhat shorter than expected due to his good recovery. The attending physician feels that he can complete his recovery at home just as easily as in the hospital, so he is to be released after only a few days in the hospital. During his stay in the hospital, the patient admitted to his primary physician that he is HIV positive which was then confirmed by a blood test administered while he was hospitalized. When he was discharged from the hospital, the physician recommended that a professional nurse visit him regularly at home in order to change the bandages on his still substantial wounds and to ensure that complications do not develop. Since the patient has no health insurance, he is dependent on Medicaid, a government program that pays for necessary medical care for those who cannot afford it. Medicaid refused to pay for home nursing care since someone is already in the home who is capable of providing the necessary care. That person is the patient's twenty-two-year-old sister, who is willing to take care of her brother until he is fully recovered. Their mother died years ago and the sister is accustomed to providing care for her younger siblings.

The patient has no objection to his sister providing this care, but he insists that no one disclose to her that he is HIV positive. Although he has always had a good relationship with his sister, she is not aware of his sexual orientation. Even greater is his fear that his father, who has extreme religious and cultural convictions, would learn that he is homosexual. Since healthcare providers are bound by a code of ethics that place a high priority on keeping confidentiality, the young Latinx's physician cannot divulge information about his medical condition.

Some would argue that the responsibility of confidentiality is even greater with HIV due to the often unwarranted stigma to homosexuality. This can be devastating for the individual who may not be ready to share their sexual orientation with others. On the other hand, the patient's sister will be putting herself at risk by providing care for him. You have been tasked with researching and providing a report on possible steps to the hospital ethics board.

Design a class named Employee. The class should keep the following information in fields: • Employee name • Employee number in the format XXX–L, where each X is a digit within the range 0–9, and the L is a letter within the range A–M. • Hire date Write one or more constructors and the appropriate accessor and mutator methods for the class. Next, write a class named ProductionWorker that inherits from the Employee class. The ProductionWorker class should have fields to hold the following information: Shift (an integer) Hourly pay rate (a double) The workday is divided into two shifts: day and night. The shift field will be an integer value representing the shift that the employee works. The day shift is shift 1, and the night shift is shift 2. Write one or more constructors and the appropriate accessor and mutator methods for the class. Demonstrate the classes by writing a program that uses a ProductionWorker object. In a particular factory, a shift supervisor is a salaried employee who supervises a shift. In addition to a salary, the shift supervisor earns a yearly bonus when his or her shift meets production goals. Design a ShiftSupervisor class that inherits from the Employee class. The ShiftSupervisor class should have a field that holds the annual salary, and a field that holds the annual production bonus that a shift supervisor has earned. Write one or more constructors and the appropriate accessor and mutator methods for the class. In a particular factory, a team leader is an hourly paid production worker who leads a small team. In addition to hourly pay, team leaders earn a fixed monthly bonus. Team leaders are required to attend a minimum number of hours of training per year. Design a TeamLeader class that inherits from the ProductionWorker class. The TeamLeader class should have fields for the monthly bonus amount, the required number of training hours, and the number of training hours that the team leader has attended. Write one or more constructors and the appropriate accessor and mutator methods for the class. Demonstrate the classes by writing a program that uses a TeamLeader object and a ShiftSupervisor object, as well as an Employee object. Be sure that all methods defined are called.
