Unit VIII is the second of a two-part discussion on toxic substances and risk assessment. The last unit of this
course covers chemical carcinogens, environmental pollutants, occupational toxicology, and toxicological
evaluation.
Chemical Carcinogens
According to the textbook, cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. There are one
million newly diagnosed cases of cancer each year and 1.5 million deaths annually (Roberts, James, &
Williams, 2015). Many factors can contribute to the development of cancer. Genetics, lifestyle choices, and
exposure to environmental factors can all play roles in initiating cancer. Inherited genes at the present time
cannot be controlled, but the latter two factors, lifestyle choices and environmental factors, can be controlled
to a certain extent to reduce the risk of developing cancer. Lifestyle choices include diet, exercise, exposure

Introduction
It is widely accepted that there is a complex relationship between the human population and the environment
in which they live. Around the 1960s, many citizens in the United States were concerned and made aware of
the detrimental effects of pesticides and drugs as well as other chemical substances that could be found in
the environment, food, and water (Geo et al., 2015; Hayat, 2014). Communities in the United States
pressured the government to provide more information on environmental problems, especially those that
could potentially be harmful to the human population.
These potentially harmful biological and chemical agents such as toxicants from fertilizers, insecticides,
pollutants, and pesticides could affect organisms and the community by reducing species abundance and
diversity. These changes in population dynamics could destroy the ecosystem, which, in turn, would reduce
stability and productivity (Geo et al., 2015).

Many TV shows depict law enforcement personnel accessing readily accessible databases that contain all types of records about individuals –records about everything from address to telephone records to finances, insurance, and criminal history. The information you share with your bank, doctor, insurance agent, the TSA, ancestry kit companies, and on social media can make your life an open book. Here are some questions to address as you reflect on this:
1. Are you comfortable with giving away some of your privacy for increased security? Why or why not? How far would you let the government go in examining people's private lives?
2. How much access should we have to certain aspects of others' private lives? For example, should States share criminal databases? But should a database of people paroled or released for crimes be made public? Why or why not?

In this chapter, Collins begins the process of identifying and further developing from the research those unique factors and variables that differentiated the good and great companies. One of the most significant differences, he asserts, is the quality and nature of leadership in the firm. Collins initially told the research team to downplay the role of top executives in the good-to-great process. It became obvious that there was something different that these leaders did. Collins went on to identify "Level 5 leadership" as a common characteristic of the great companies assessed in the study. By further studying the behaviors and attitudes of so-called Level 5 leaders, Collins found that many of those classified in this group displayed an unusual mix of intense determination and profound humility. Characteristics used to describe these leaders included words like quiet, humble, modest, gracious, and understated. Yet there was also the stoic resolve and an unwavering determination evident. They were low-key executives, rarely appearing in the media, who demonstrated a relentless drive for results. These leaders often had a long-term personal sense of investment in the company and its success, often cultivated through a career-spanning climb up the company’s ranks. The personal ego and individual financial gain were not as important as the long-term benefit of the team and the company. As such, Collins warned of the liability involved in employing a bigger-than-life charismatic leader —personalities often brought in from outside the company or organization by a board seeking a high profile figure. The data suggested that a celebrity CEO brought in to turn around a flailing firm was usually not conducive to fostering the transition from
Good to Great
(Collins, 2001).
Why is this important?
Collins was asked and did not want to use "servant leader" for the Level 5 leader (Lichtenwalner, 2012). The team chose the term, “Level 5 Leadership” over Servant Leadership, in part, for fear readers would misinterpret the concept as “servitude” or “weakness.” In his mind, this position looked like something else. And so a new leadership phrase was born. What is interesting is that many but not all of the leaders profiled had a faith background. Lichtenwalner, (2012) in his research suggests that Servant Leadership is a key aspect of Level 5 Leadership. But perhaps it is not the technique but the heart and faith of the leader that had such a signifi.

Research objectives
The purpose of this study is to measure the relationship between brand loyalty, brand awareness and brand image and brand equity of young consumers.
Aaker (1991) Model theory was incorporated into the relevant research system
Identify the relationship between brand equity and brand loyalty, brand awareness and brand image
The research scope of brand effect has been expanded

Significant of study
Contribution
Scope of study
Master students are the main research objects, and the research scope is to investigate Chinese master students.
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
The conclusion of this paper is based on the principle of Aaker (1991) model.
It can be said that customers' attitude towards brands has an important impact on brand assets (Choi, Parsa, Sigala, & Putrevu, 2009).
Thwaites et al. (2012) found that when consumers' perception of brand cognition is positive, their purchase intention of brand will also be positive.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Brand loyalty
The study found that the creative consumption behavior of customers has a positive effect on the cultivation of brand loyalty, and the brand equity associated with high brand loyalty of consumers is higher than that of other brands (Atilgan, Aksoy, & Akinci, 2005).
Brand awareness
According to the research, when customers‘ brand awareness is enhanced and they have a certain understanding of brand awareness, the brand equity will also be further enhanced,It can be said that there is a significant influence relationship between brand awareness and brand equity (Pouromid & Iranzadeh, 2012).
LITERATURE REVIEW
Brand image
Most consumers will choose products with good brand image and feel that such products are of relatively high quality (Rubio, Oubina, & Villasenor, 2014).
Relevant studies, such as Faircloth et al. (2001), Rubio et al. (2014), and Vahie and Paswan (2006), have confirmed the positive influence of brand image on brand equity.
Brand equity is the added value of a product or a service, which mainly reflects the customer's evaluation and use of the brand, and also reflects the competitive advantage, price advantage and profitability brought by the brand to the enterp.

Compare and contrast the two poems below:
LOVE’S INCONSISTENCY
I find no peace, and all my war is done;
I fear and hope, I burn and freeze likewise
I fly above the wind, yet cannot rise;
And nought I have, yet all the world I seize on;
That looseth, nor locketh, holdeth me in prison, And holds me not, yet can I ’scape no wise;
Nor lets me live, nor die, at my devise,
And yet of death it giveth none occasion.
Without eyes I see, and without tongue I plain;
I wish to perish, yet I ask for health;
I love another, and yet I hate myself;
I feed in sorrow, and laugh in all my pain;
Lo, thus displeaseth me both death and life,
And my delight is causer of my grief.
Petrarch
After great pain a formal feeling comes—
The nerves sit ceremonious like tombs;
The stiff Heart questions—was it He that bore?
And yesterday—or centuries before?
The feet mechanical go round
A wooden way
Of ground or air or ought
Regardless grown,
A quartz contentment like a stone.
This is the hour of lead
Remembered if outlived
As freezing persons recollect
The snow—
First chill, then stupor, then
The letting go
Emily Dickinson

You will be asked to respond to five different scenarios. Answer each scenario (about 1 page per scenario). You will need to:
Decide what action the responding officer should take and provide an explanation/justification for your response.
In your explanation, explain the role that discretion played in your decision. Choose at least five factors from the list below to include in your explanation.
When considering your response for each scenario, remember that because of the nature of law enforcement work, police officers have always maintained a certain amount of discretion. Due to the amount of interaction that officers have with members of the public, this discretion must be fair, equal, impartial, and legal. As such, the use of discretion by officers is both a foundation of police work and a component of community policing.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Chemical Carcinogens
According to the textbook, cancer is the second leading cause of
death in the United States. There are one
million newly diagnosed cases of cancer each year and 1.5
million deaths annually (Roberts, James, &
Williams, 2015). Many factors can contribute to the
development of cancer. Genetics, lifestyle choices, and
exposure to environmental factors can all play roles in initiating
cancer. Inherited genes at the present time
cannot be controlled, but the latter two factors, lifestyle choices
and environmental factors, can be controlled
to a certain extent to reduce the risk of developing cancer.
Lifestyle choices include diet, exercise, exposure

to the sun, and use of tobacco. Infectious agents, radiation, and
xenobiotic chemicals can also induce cancer
(Roberts et al., 2015).
What is cancer? Cancer, or malignant neoplasm, is the
uncontrolled replication of cells that invade other
tissues and organs, often damaging and interfering with the
function of the organs that are invaded. Types of
cancer are often named for the site of origin. If the neoplasm
originated in the lungs and metastasized or
migrated to the liver, it is still considered lung cancer, although
the cancer would now be in the lungs and
liver. The xenobiotics that cause cancer are referred to as
carcinogens. The development of cancer is
referred to as carcinogenesis. Carcinogenesis occurs in several
stages, which include initiation, promotion,
and progression of the tumor. Initiation is the conversion of a
normal cell to a mutated cancer cell. Promotion
is the replication of the initial mutated cell. Progression is the
conversion of preneoplasia to malignant (or
benign) neoplasm (Roberts et al., 2015).
There are many agents that are not classified as carcinogens but
are listed as potential carcinogens.
Carcinogens can be chemicals, viruses, hormones, radiation, or
solid-state materials (Roberts et al., 2015).
According to the textbook, carcinogens either initiate the
neoplastic growth in a tissue or increase the
incidence of background spontaneous neoplastic formation in
7. the target tissue (Roberts et al., 2015).
Carcinogens can be divided into two basic categories: genotoxic
and epigenetic (non-genotoxic) carcinogens.
In simple terms, genotoxic carcinogens directly alter the DNA,
causing mutations. Epigenetic carcinogens do
not alter the DNA but interfere with the expression of the DNA.
The authors discuss many chemical classes of
known carcinogens. These chemical classes include
polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) such as PAHs found
in charcoal broiled foods (that indeed refers to meat cooked on
the grill at a barbeque), cigarette smoke, and
diesel exhaust. In addition, many metals such as arsenic,
chromium, nickel, and lead are carcinogens
(Roberts et al., 2015).
Environmental Pollutants
Have you considered how environmental pollutants may affect
the normal, everyday individual? In large cities
such as Atlanta, cyclists who often ride in high traffic areas
ironically have to be concerned about their health.
This is due to the cyclists’ continual inhalation of air pollution
from passing vehicles. The burning of fossil fuels
is a major contributor to air pollution in many developed
countries (Roberts et al., 2015).
For many people, outdoor air pollutants come to mind when
environmental air pollutants are mentioned. What
about indoor pollutants? Have you ever worked in an older
office building and felt ill on Monday morning when
you returned to work from the weekend away from the building?
Perhaps every time you enter the building
you develop a non-stress related headache or other ailment.
Indoor air pollutants may be referred to as sick
building syndrome. Sick building syndrome can be caused by
many unidentified agents or environmental
8. factors within a building and in fact is a real condition. It is not
simply the Monday work blues.
Environmental toxicants can move through one medium to
another. It is not uncommon for air pollutants to
cross media to contaminate soil and water. Water contaminants
include pesticides, metals, fertilizers, and
even medications that are disposed of incorrectly by flushing
down the toilet or throwing in the trash can.
Occupational Toxicology
There once was an older gentleman who worked for a factory
for many, many years. He retired from his
position after more than 30 years of work at the same company.
Within five years of retirement, the
gentlemen was diagnosed with lung cancer. He fought the
cancer with the support of his family. This man had
a small pharmacy of drugs in his home. He took drugs to fight
the cancer and drugs to combat the side effects
of the cancer drugs. After almost two years of chemotherapy
and radiation, he lost his battle with cancer.
Within a few years of his death, it was revealed to his family
that more than 50% of former employees of the
company had developed lung cancer. This is a major topic of
concern for safety professionals.
Toxicants can enter the body by various means. Although we
aim to eliminate the possible exposure to
various pollutants in normal everyday life, some occupations do
not allow employees to totally avoid toxicants
in their work environment. It is vital for the health of
employees for these individuals to be protected from all
means of harmful exposure of the toxicants. Your textbook
discusses the effects of various toxicants if the
safe exposure limits are exceeded. Some effects of exposure
9. may be very minor, such as headaches, or can
potentially increase in range of severity from nausea to organ
damage and cancer.

Title
Epidemiological Studies
In simple terms, epidemiology is the study of the causes as well
as the effects of disease within a defined
population of people. Controlled laboratory experiments and
studies can tell us a great deal in terms of the
risk factors of an agent. On the other hand, human studies that
are less controlled address the everyday
factors and elements that humans encounter in association with
toxicants; human studies can expose various
risk factors. Epidemiological studies can reveal exactly what
occurs within the human body due to exposure to
an agent rather than extrapolating data from animal models to
suggest what could happen in humans. Human
studies are limited by what is ethical. Some studies are very
slow in gathering data because many
epidemiological studies make observances and collect data
rather than intentionally induce a disease state or
risk as in animal studies.
10. Environmental epidemiology examines populations that are
exposed to airborne, ingested, or dermally
absorbed agents. An study in Flint, Michigan, on the population
exposed to contaminated tap water that is
used in cooking, drinking, and bathing, is a good example of an
environmental epidemiological study.
Occupational epidemiology simply refers to studies that
examine a population that experiences exposure to
an agent in a work-related environment. An example of this
would be the emergency response workers who
were engaged in the rescue of people in New York during the
events of 9-11. Many of the emergency
response workers and volunteers experienced chronic health
issues that epidemiologists were able to trace
back to the exposure to airborne agents during that time.
Health Risk Assessment
Risk assessment utilizes scientifically collected data of the
hazardous properties of a chemical and duration of
exposure to determine the level of harm the agent poses to the
population (Roberts et al., 2015). There are
basic steps to risk assessment that every student should know.
These four steps include hazard identification,
dose-response assessment, exposure assessment, and risk
characterization (Roberts et al., 2015). Hazard
identification is simply assessing the increased health risk
caused by exposure to an agent. Dose-response
assessment is relating the concentration and duration of
exposure to adverse effects. Factors that can alter a
response such as health issues, sex, age, and lifestyle may also
be examined in conjunction with the dose-
response assessment of an agent (Roberts et al., 2015).
Exposure assessment identifies what population,
routes of exposure, concentration, and duration of exposure are
11. encountered. Risk characterization is
compiling the information from the previous steps to determine
the likelihood of the hazards developing in the
population (Roberts et al., 2015). The textbook goes into detail
about each step of risk assessment. Take
some time to read and understand the process; however, do not
get caught up in the details of the
mathematical formulas for calculating risks and concentration
of exposure.
Pay special attention to the information in the textbook, but
utilize it as a springboard to investigate the
subject matter of occupational and environmental toxicology
further and learn as much as you can. It is
important to be up to date on the latest information, not only
while obtaining your degree, but throughout your
career. New equipment for personal protection against toxicants
are always being developed as well as
technology to measure levels to toxic exposure. Congratulations
on completing the last lesson. Let’s make
this unit your best!
