A cross-cultural psychologist living in an overseas, non-Western rural area has a background studying culture bias in traditional psychological testing procedures. She contends that members of a rural community who normally score lower than average on traditional Western-style IQ tests will score better than the general population on a new test that emphasizes practical and social intelligence. Scores on the test can range from I 100. She recruits 18 volunteers and administers the new test. Their scores are as follows: Based on early normative data in Western countries, the mean for the general population is 64. Do members of this community score significantly higher on the new IQ test? Solution.

Suppose you have a group of 10 people. (a) How many ways are there to separate these 10 people into two groups, if no group can have less than 2 people? [Hint: when dividing into two groups, you only have to figure out who is in one group, since then the other one is determined.] (b) How many ways are there to separate these 10 people into two groups of 5 each? [Hint: there is a subtle issue of overcounting here and in (c).] Solution.

Show mathematically how carboxylation of Rubisco is beneficial to the plant while oxygenation of Rubisco is detrimental to the plant. Solution RuBisco is an enzyme involved in the first major step of carbon fixation, a process by which atmospheric carbon dioxide is converted by plants and other photosynthetic organisms to energy- rich molecules such as glucose. In chemical terms, it catalyzes the carboxylation of ribulose-1,5- bisphosphate (also known as RuBP). So, Rubisco is beneficial enzymes for the production of glucose in the plants. It produces oxygen as by product which is used by humans for respiration. Photorespiration is the alternate pathway for production of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) by RuBisCO, the main enzyme of the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis. Although RuBisCO favors carbon dioxide to oxygen, oxygenation of RuBisCO occurs frequently, producing a glycolate and a glycerate. This usually occurs when oxygen levels are high Photorespiration produces no ATP. Photorespiration is a wasteful process because G3P is created at a reduced rate and higher metabolic cost (2ATP and one NADPH) compared with RuBP carboxylase activity. G3P produced in the chloroplast is used to create \"nearly all\" of the food and structures in the plant. While photorespiratory carbon cycling results in G3P eventually, it also produces waste ammonia that must be detoxified at a substantial cost to the cell in ATP and reducing equivalents..

Select two reasons why Jenner’s method of vaccination was superior to previous methods a. It caused full blown disease in recipient b. Potency of the inoculate was just enough to elicit an immune response c. At least six booster shots were required d. Inoculate is completely destroyed or neutralized by the host prior any immune reactions Gives rise to red blood cells a. Monocytes b. Premature neutrophils c. M cells d. Common myeloid progenitor cells Solution 1. The jenner\'s method of vaccination is a vaccination to eradicate cow pox. His method is superior to the previous ones because it carriers significant lower risks of a serious disease. The earlier method of using materials form the lesions of small pox victims conferred immunity but at risk of acquiring the potentially lethal disease. So, the correct answer is option B. 2. Monocyte give rise to macrophages. Premature neutrophils gives rise to neutrophils. M cells differentiate to form all Intestinal epithelial cells. Common myeloid progenitor cells give rise to Red blood cells. So, the correct answer is option D..

Fish are caught at random according to a Poisson process at a rate of one fish per hour. If exactly three fish are ccaught in the first hour, what is the probability that it took more than one-half hour to catch the first fish? Solution If he catches the first fish after first half-hour, then he must have caught all 3 fishes in the second half hour. For each of the 3 fishes caught, the probability that it was caught in the first half hour is 1/2 P(more than one half hour to catch the fish|3 fishes caught in the first 2 half hours))=(1/2)^3=0.125.

2. Explain how slavery could be discussed in the Constitution even though the Constitution never contains the words \"slavery\" or \"slaves?\" Through clever circumlocutions like \"persons held in service or labor\" and \"all other persons,\" slavery is included but without the use of such a distasteful word. Solution Slavery is the term which is not included in the constitution and which will not. Slavery and untouchability are the backward mentalities and those has been removed from the society very long back. Persons working as lobour are not the slaves. They can work if they want otherwise they can quit. They has such freedom. So, constitution has no such term or no such meaning..

1. How might lack of cultural dimension play a role influencing leadership? 2. Dirks explores follower trust in the leader-follower relationship. He observes that follower trust in the leader appears to influence the level of team performance. Explain why follower trust is important, and how it influences team (group) performance. reference plz Solution 1. From a scientific and theoretical stand point there are compelling reasons for considering the role of societal and organizational culture in influencing leadership and organizational processes. Because the goal of science is to develop universally valid theories, laws, and principles, there is a need for leadership and organizational theories that transcend cultures. There are inherent limitations in transferring theories across cultures. What works in one culture may not work in another culture. As Triandis (1993) suggests, leadership researchers will be able to “fine- tune”theories by investigating cultural variations as parameters of those theories. 2. Recent ndings/research in the similar field give a fuller understanding of the psychological processes through that transformational leadersexert their inuence on followers by adopting a nuanced read of trust. On the one hand, the mediating role of affect-based trust implies a social exchange mechanism in explaining the results of transformational leadershipon serving to behavior (Dirks & Ferrin, 2002; Schaubroeck et al., 2011). Followers exposed to transformationalleaders receive the leaders’ care and concern, develop emotional attachment, and embrace the duty to respondto leaders by exhibiting serving to behavior towards coworkers (Li & adorned , 2009; Song, Tsui, & Law, 2009). On theother hand, it is also evident that cognition- based trust characterised as a risk reducer (Colquitt et al., 2012; Dirks& Ferrin, 2002) is needed to a lot of totally justify why trust is a intermediary of transformational leadershipeffectiveness. Followers draw inferences concerning transformational leaders’ characteristics, like ability, reliabilityand integrity, and kind cognition-based trust. they will feel more leisurely partaking in serving to behavior,having condence that leaders can acknowledge them for his or her citizenship behaviors suitably instead of exploit them (Mayer et al., 1995). These ndings so highlight the worth of examining trust as a multidimensionalconstruct and positing 2 distinctive underlying mechanisms, that is, social exchange and risk reduction, toexplain the impact of transformational leadership on followers’ serving to behavior..
