Many investigators have studied the relationship between asbestos exposure and death from chronic obstructive pul- monary disease (COPD). Twelve cases of leukemia are reported in people living in a particular census tract over a 5 year period. Is this number of cases abnormal if only 6.7 cases would be expected based on national cancer-incidence rates? Solution Correlation Between Asbestos and COPD COPD can be triggered by the inhalation of foreign fumes or substances. Often, these irritants are inhaled at the patient’s workplace. Because asbestos was widely used at many industrial jobsites, COPD patients may have inhaled these fibers among others that contributed to their condition. Asbestos has not been directly linked to COPD, but asbestos exposure may be one of the factors that contribute to the development of the condition. Lungs that have been weakened by COPD may be much more susceptible to additional lung damage caused by asbestos. Additionally, pre-existing cases of COPD may be exacerbated by asbestos exposure. Various scientific studies have reported a statistically significant incidence of COPD among those exposed to toxic materials such as asbestos and silica. A Swedish study of 316,729 male construction workers found the mortality rate from COPD was more than two and a half times higher in participants who had been exposed to airborne toxins, including asbestos, than in patients who had not been exposed to occupational dust. Exposure to inorganic dust even affected participants who had never smoked and were therefore at a considerably low risk of developing COPD. Diagnosing COPD COPD can be diagnosed by several tests. A spirometry is one of the simplest and only requires the patient to blow into a tube that measures lung capacity and how quickly the air is exhaled. This test may also be accompanied by an arterial blood gas analysis, which measures oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in a blood sample. Chest X-rays or CT scans and sputum samples are also occasionally used to screen for emphysema. Treating COPD COPD symptoms are typically treated through one or more of four options: Bronchodilators (inhalers), which contain medications that relax the muscles around airways Antibiotics to fight respiratory infections or steroids to reduce inflammation during flare-ups Oxygen therapy to increase the levels of oxygen in a patient’s blood Surgery to remove the damaged sections of the lungs (or a transplant in severe cases) Adjustments can be made to a patient’s home environment to make it easier to breathe. Patients should avoid cold or smoke-polluted air, and smokers are strongly urged to quit. Those with COPD may also benefit from joining a rehabilitation program or support group..

Many observers think there is a permanent underclass in American society most of those in poverty typically remain poor from year to year. Over the period of 1970 - 2000, the percentage of the American population in poverty each year has been remarkably stable at 12% or so. Income figures for each year were taken from the March Current Population Survey of that year; the cutoff for poverty was based on official gov\'t definitions. To what extent do this data support the theory of the permanent underclass? Discuss briefly. Solution the data do support the theory of permanent underclass but not to much extent as out of 12 % many persons would be there who had become poor recently due to job loss. Thus, keeping this argument in mind it could be said that while the percentage of american population under poverty remained constant there could have been an exchange in number of people where few people from above poverty became poor while few persons below poverty became richer. Thud it could be said that while the given data supports theory of permanent underclass it is not a definite proof of it..

Many elementary school students in a school district contracted a particularly virulent seasonal flu. A random sample of children in two different schools found that 16 of 42 at one school and 21 of 36 at the other were absent due to the flu. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists between the proportions of students who were absent due to contracting the flu at the schools? Solution No, there is not sufficient information to reject the hypothesis that the proportions of students at the two schools who have ear infections are the same because the test value –1.78 is inside the acceptance region (-1.96,1.96)..

Manu and Janani are playing a coin toss game with a fair penny. Manu get a point if the penny lands on heads, Janani get a point if the penny lands on tails. THe score is Janani 9, Manu 7, in a game to 10 points. WHat is the probability that Janani will win the game? Express your answer as a common fraction. Solution The probability that J will win is one minus the probability that he will lose because there are only two possible outcomes. In order for J to lose, M must win. In order for M to win, the next three coin tosses in a row must result in heads. The probability that three consecutive tosses of a fair coin will be heads is: 1/2*1/2*1/2=1/8 Since the probability that M will win is , the probability that M will lose, which is the same as the probability that J will win is 1-1/8=7/8.

Managers are affected by the organizational environment, and help to create it. Their role is instrumental in a successful organizational culture. In this week Solution Managing people effectively in extension programmes is a skill that requires constant planning and development. An extension programme manager can be defined as the person who is vested with formal authority over an organization or one of its sub units. He or she has status that leads to various interpersonal relations, and from this comes access to information. Information, in turn, enables the manager to devise strategies, make decisions, and implement action (Mintzberg, 1988). Management is concerned with the optimum attainment of organizational goals and objectives with and through other people. Extension management organizations are characterized by many strategies, wide spans of control, democracy, and autonomy. Their management practices cannot be reduced to one standard set of operating guidelines that will work for all organizations continually. However, all managers of professional organizations face the same challenge: to manage one\'s time, objectives, and resources in order to accomplish tasks and implement ideas (Waldron, 1994). Managers of extension programmes are painfully aware of the need for revision and development of the new skill sets held by today\'s high performers. If change is not handled correctly, it can be more devastating then ever before. High performers reflect, discover, assess, and act. They know that a new focus on connecting the heads, hearts, and hands of people in their organization is necessary. Astute managers know what needs to be done but struggle with how to do it. Quite often they prefer to consider themselves as teachers or communicators rather than managers. This results in under-utilization of the increasing amount of literature on management theory and practice. The root of the problem is implementation. They must learn how to motivate others and build an efficient team. More formally defined, management is the process by which people, technology, job tasks, and other resources are combined and coordinated so as to effectively achieve organizational objectives. A process or function is a group of related activities contributing to a larger action. Management functions are based on a common philosophy and approach. They centre around the following: 1. Developing and clarifying mission, policies, and objectives of the agency or organization 2. Establishing formal and informal organizational structures as a means of delegating authority and sharing responsibilities 3. Setting priorities and reviewing and revising objectives in terms of changing demands 4. Maintaining effective communications within the working group, with other groups, and with the larger community 5. Selecting, motivating, training, and appraising staff 6. Securing funds and managing budgets; evaluating accomplishments and 7. Being accountable to staff, the larger .

To examine this phenomenon, a researcher administers a questionnaire to a sample of college students. The survey asks for the studentâ€™s grade point average (as a measure of intelligence) and whether the student would like to take part in a future study in which participants would be hypnotized. The results showed that 7 of the 10 lower-intelligence people were willing to participant but only 2 of the 10 higher-intelligence people were willing. a.Convert the data to a form suitable for computing the phi-coefficient. (Code the two intelligence categories as 0 and 1 for the X variable, and code the willingness to participate as 0 and 1 for the Yvariable.) b.Compute the phi-coefficient for the data. Improve Solution Answer The topic of religiosity and intelligence is the statistical relationship between intelligence and religiosity. Studies have begun to explore the link between religiosity and issues related to intelligence and educational level. Various studies further suggest that intuitive thinking and inductive reasoning styles tend to increase religious beliefs, but also imply more conservative beliefs in general. Less religious people prefer analytical and deductive reasoning. IQ only measures mathematical and analytical capabilities, so it usually correlates with less religiosity.[1] Although statistical studies show that the poorest countries tend to be more religious, experts suggest that the reason may be that religions play a more active social, moral and cultural role in those countries, emulating nationalism.[2][3][4] Religions in wealthy countries used to have a more specific moral and spiritual role.

Major factors in the system of American government are the political parties and their roles and functions within the system. In a minimum of three well-written paragraphs, discuss the roles and functions/purpose of the political parties as they currently operate within the system.(10 points) Solution Political parties play very crucial role in the democratic system where the general public is expected to have great say in the policy making of country. These parties presents their candidates before the general public and get them elected to execute the law and programs. There is two party system in the USA Republican and democratic are two parties.It has not been mentioned in the constitution that there should be only two parties in the country. But it automatically have developed into the two party system. These politcal parties first of all make it realise to general public that all policies and laws are made according to their preferences. Following are functions of political parties: 1. Representing the group preference: These parties are at variance with repect to the policy and laws. Hence these parties represents to the specific group withing the contitutional boundries. 2. Presenting as alternatives: These parties present themselves before the public as alternatives 3. Making the policies: After being elected by the public these parties make the laws and policies. 4. Saving from the dictatorship: If one party has majority then other party keep strict watch on the activities on incombent govt if it is working according to the constitution or not..

management Strong cognitive abilities are usually considered a very important and positive trait to seek when hiring new employees. However, one police department decided not to higher those who scored too high on a cognitive skills exam on the grounds that people who are too intelligent will not be satisfied with their job as a police officer and will end up quitting (Naish, 2013). This of course is a controversial policy that resulted in at least one lawsuit. For this assignment we will be looking at individual characteristics that may predict job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and job performance for police officers. Being a police officer is a demanding job that required strong physical capacity, sharp mental capacity to deal with difficult and life-threatening situations, and strong interpersonal skills in order to effectively work with the communities they protect and serve. The issue of what traits to look for in police officer recruiting is a controversial one. Review the background materials on individual traits, personality, and attitudes such as job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Then read these articles on law enforcement recruitment with the issues in the background materials in mind: Naish, R. (April, 2013). Too clever by half. E. Learning Age, 8. [ProQuest] Means, R., Lowry, K., & Conroy, D. (2011). Hiring: Background investigation, part 3. Law & Order, 59(3), 12-13. [ProQuest] Reaume, S. (2009). Improved hiring for child protective investigators. Law & Order, 57(2), 19- 20,22,24. [ProQuest] Now suppose a police department has hired you as a consultant to come up with an exam to assess personality and other traits of applicants to the department. The department is looking to hire applicants who meet the following criteria: Using what you Solution 1. Cognitive abilities should be the part of the exam as this would help to evaluate the mental process of reasoning, remembering, understanding, and problem solving. These skills are very important for the police officers. The police officers under critical situation have to analyze the situation and formulate a response strategy. Thus, it should be a part of the exam to identify whether the applicants have such lifesaving skills. The requirement varies according to the requirement of the job. Higher cognitive abilities should be hired as only interested candidates apply for the job. The department should not limit the candidates with an upper bound. This may restrain the applicants to perform little lower than their ability. Thus, the department should hire those who has higher cognitive abilities. 2. Personality: Personality is defined as the combination of qualities and traits that forms a distinctive behavior of an individual. Personality is derived from the word persona and is build up of thoughts, feelings and behaviors due to which each individual is different from each other. Joint effects of Traits and Skills: Various researches have been conducted to c.
