The idea of Paleolithic humans giving a tangible visible representation to intangible symbolic imagery they were “seeing” in their heads through altered states of consciousness (visions, dreams, hallucinations, trance). We have a better understanding of our brain’s visual mechanics in our own time but we as humans still routinely tap into altered states of consciousness, whether it’s through daydreaming, roleplaying (ex. Cosplay) meditation, dance, substance use, or escapism into virtual worlds such as video games, movies, music, art, social media.

-WHAT, IN YOUR OPINION, IS THE APPEAL OF AN ALTERED STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS FOR US AS HUMANS?

-If you find yourself wanting to “unplug” from reality in an altered state, what feeling are you after and is there a visual component to it?

-How can we relate our own state of altered consciousness in modern times, back to the Paleolithic humans and their interest in recording visions they saw in their heads on the walls of caves?

Ranking Investment Proposals:Payback Period, Accounting Rate of Return, and Net Present Value
Presented is information pertaining to the cash flows of three mutually exclusive investment proposals:

Select the best investment proposal  using the payback period, the accounting rate of return on initial investment, and the net present value criteria. Assume that the organization's cost of capital is 14 percent.

Note: Follow rounding instructions noted for each computation. Use a negative sign with your answers, when appropriate.

1. Draw a structured flowchart or write structured pseudocode describing how to get from your home to your school. Include at least two decisions and two loops.

2. Draw a structured flowchart and write pseudocode that describes the process of guessing a number between 1 and 100. After each guess, the player is told that the guess is too high or too low. The process continues until the player guesses the correct number. Pick a number and have a fellow student try to guess it following the instructions.

The toxic effects of ingesting methanol can be reduced by administering ethanol. The ethanol acts as a competitive inhibitor of methanol by displacing it from LADH. If an individual has ingested 50 mL of methanol, how much 100 proof whiskey (50% ethanol by volume) must be imbibed to reduce the activity (Vo) of his LADH towards methanol to 3% of its original value? The adult human body contains ~40L of aqueous fluids throughout which ingested alcohols are rapidly and uniformly mixed. Assume the concentration of methanol in the body is 18mM and whiskey is 6.5M ethanol. Assume the KM values of LADH for ethanol and methanol to be 10-3 M and 10-2 M, respectively, and that Ki = KM for ethanol.

Do you agree that alert individuals who purchase valuable domain names should be able to sell them to the highest bidder? If so, in all circumstances or only in certain circumstances?

Select a product/ service you are familiar with (personal or professional reasons). Select at least three specific product versions (brands, models, locations, organizations) that represent significantly different market segments/ different order winning characteristics. Example products/services include restaurants (budget, family, foodies ); vacation services (online, VIP, adventure ); fitness facilities (masses/general, specialized, boutique); watches (simple/basic, smart, luxury/precision); cars (budget, performance, exotic),...  For each version you should identify/discuss:

• The market segment (give it a name) including its order winning and order qualifier characteristics.
• Key operations management related system characteristics that enable/support its order winning criteria. This includes characteristics related to suppliers, production, capacity, inventories, warranties, human resources, location of facilities, innovation, product design, outsourcing,.... Only discuss those you believe are more relevant to each version and its order winner features.
• Key operations related metrics that are particular to this product/service. Discuss how different metrics are relevant to the different market segments.  

5. Following information is available for two companies. Analyze the information and answer the questions: a. M G Industries manufactures various types of industrial chemicals. The company had a total asset turnover of 2.5 times for the year ended 31st March 2019. The sales for the year were ₹ 35,50,000. Total assets were ₹ 12,35,890 as on 31st March 2018. Assume that compared to 31st March 2019, total assets were projected to increase by 12% by 31st March 2020. The company projected a total asset turnover of 2.8 times for the year ending 31st March 2020. Given this information, what are the projected sales for year ending 31st March 2020? b. An airline company has taken many aircrafts on lease. Its EBIT for the year ended 31st March 2019 was ₹124.68 crores. Interest coverage ratio was impressive at 5.6 times. However its fixed charges coverage ratio was only 1.4 times. The fixed charges were lease rentals for the aircrafts. Given this information, calculate the lease rentals for the year.

Starter Code:

Assume you are the Director of Financial Planning and Analysis for your company. Make a recommendation to the CFO (me!) on how your company should approach capital budgeting and selection of projects for investment. Your recommendation can include discussion of any or all of the key topics studied in Chapters 10-14:

a) Preferred methodologies/tools (NPV, IRR, Payback)

b) Base Case, Scenario, & Simulation analyses

c) Real Options analysis

d) Impacts of Capital Structure and Leverage

What you choose to base your recommendation upon is less important than the articulation of the conceptual framework and the accurate application of that concept. Given this is a one-page recommendation, clearly you will not be able to incorporate all of the concepts above so pick one or two and demonstrate your comprehension of how it should be applied in financial analysis and capital budgeting. It needs to include, the recommendation, background about the recommendation, three reasons of rationale, risk analysis, and the next steps. These only need to be a few sentences each.

ethics in the Workplace

You are a member of the senior hospital administration. You become aware of a problem involving a long-time and well-respected employee, as well as the supervisor of said employee.
The employee in question is a social worker; a very competent and very conscientious professional. His wife has recently suffered a stroke with significant residual neurological deficit. This has resulted in the necessity that the social worker take days off to care for her; come in late or leave early to take her to medical, physical, or occupational therapy appointments; etc.
It is thought that, because of these demands on his time—and the taxing emotional overlay of dealing with the critical illness of a loved one, while simultaneously dealing with patients and families in similar situations—that his charting fell behind. In fact, it was discovered that he was writing social work notes 1–2 days after the fact, back-dating the notes, and placing them in the patients chart between notes of the same time frame as the date on the note.
When the social worker’s immediate supervisor became aware of this, she told him that such behavior must stop immediately. Given the circumstances, however, she opted to take no further action, did not document this in his personnel file, nor did she advise her superiors.
Other members of the staff became aware of this, and someone reported it to the CEO via a “Tell Us About Problems” Dropbox.

1. You have been assigned to address these multiple issues of ethics, standards of conduct, truth, and fairness. Also

2. describe what concepts of change management theory you would apply in this situation. Describe your answer in detail, write in a response to each case scenario. 500 words please typed

1) The flow rate of a liquid which is discharged by a pump is given by Q and the head is given by H. The specific gravity of the liquid which has a standard unit of kg/m2.s2, is denoted by SG. Using dimensional analysis, find the expression for pumping power (P) for this machine.

2) An axial pump has a rotor diameter of 32 cm. The pump discharges water (ρwater = 1000 kg/m3) at a rate of 2.5 m3/min while rotating at 1450 RPM. The energy input to the pump is 120 J/kg and the overall efficiency is 78%. If a scale model of this pump has a rotor diameter of 22 cm and rotates at 2900 RPM, calculate:
(i) flow rate of water in the model pump;
(ii) change in total pressure from the model pump; and
(iii) input power to the model pump.
