PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SFK ORGANIZATION 1 PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SFK ORGANIZATION 6 Problem Identification and Recommendation for SFK Organization Student’s Name Institution Date Introduction and problem statement From the case, it is apparent that SFK-NY is one of the non-profit organization that is striving a lot to ensure that its mission of empowering the human spirit in every child is achieved. The case indicates that there is a huge gap in the society concerning the human spirit and hence SFK-NY has done its best to fill this gap. However, a closer look at the case reveals that the SFK-NY has not yet achieved its goal or rather its missions and vision. The vision statement for the organization is “One World, Every Child” (Vallas and Sherman, 2012). According to the case, it is stated that the mission of ensuring that the vision “ One World, Every Child” is achieved would only be complete when every child and young adult in the target region has participated in the SFK-YK program (Vallas and Sherman, 2012). This is because for all the children to learn he tools to help them make wise choices that provide them with certainty, happiness, concern for the well-being of others, the organization needs to invest a lot not only in employing personnel but also in expanding their project worldwide. Expanding the program worldwide would need an enormous amount of money. Given that the SFK-YK is a non-profit organization, it means that it does not get capital from the services they offer. This is because they do not charge the beneficiaries for the services they get. The organization, according to the case, depends on donations from individuals, corporations, foundations, groups, clubs, and organization as well as their own fundraising from special events. Despite the fact that the organization gets a lot of assistance from well-wishers and clubs, the organizational Advisory Board and the director argue that their major concern is that SFK is not generating as much revenue through fundraising to support the current operation. They are also concerned that the organization is gaining a lot of popularity and that because of this, it is likely that it may experience massive growth. The board is also claiming that the cost for every student is approximately $300 per program, which is too much because every student needs to finish level 1,2 and even 3 depending on the availability of funding. This essay will support why lack of finance is the major strategic obstacle to the SFK-YK Program. Body and discussion One way in which an organization can achieve its strategic goal is by ensuring that all the factors of production are available and that they are put in proper use. Similarly, SFK-YK, despite offering the best and most popular services, must ensure that the factors of production are in place and that they are being utilized accordingly. Closer look at the case reveals that capital and resour.

Problem Set #2 SCOR470 Fall 2015 Topics Soil water pote.docx

Problem Set #2 SCOR470 Fall 2015 Topics: Soil water potential, unit conversions, soil water content Honor code opportunity- It is required that the work you are turning in is your effort. In addition, you may wish to sign the honor code statement. Declining to sign this statement will not count against you. "I have not given, received, or used any unauthorized assistance." Signature 1. Unit conversions a. You are curious about the matric potential of an air-dried soil. This depends on the relative humidity of the air of course but you find a value of -2.20 x 105 J/Kg in a journal article. Express this in MPa and m. (Note that the permanent wilting point for plants is typically assumed to be -1.5 MPa.) b. You need a value for the osmotic pressure of maple tree sap and find a table in a reliable older reference stating 2.23 x 106 erg/cm3. Convert this to m, ft., and Pa. c. Your grandfather’s WWII submarine could withstand about 1.5 MPa of water pressure. Assuming a saltwater density of 1.03 g/cm3, calculate the crush-depth of the submarine in m and ft. 2. a. Calculate the energy/volume (in J/m3) of water a plant root must overcome to withdraw water laterally from a soil with a matric potential of -15000 cm with an EC of 8 dS/m. b. Assuming 15 oC, calculate the relative humidity in the soil air for the soil in part (a). Note that this soil is near the wilting point for many plants. Helpful information: The EC, electrical conductivity, is a measure of the total dissolved salts in a system. For a wide range of soils, the following empirical relationship relates the EC of the soil solution to the osmotic pressure (Π) of the solution; Π(bars)= 0.36 x EC (dS/m). The EC unit is decisiemen per meter. 3. Consider a soil profile above a shallow water table: clay loam water table loamy sand loam silt loam 0.40 m 0.30 m 0.15 m 0.20 m Soil surface Suppose the θ(h) in this profile is described by the Brooks-Corey formulation: θ(h) = θS for |h| ≤ |he| θ(h) = (θS -θr)[(he/h) λ] + θr for |h| > |he| Using the parameters in the following table, calculate and plot the equilibrium water content profile, θ(z), from the soil surface to the water table. 4. The following system is at equilibrium. Determine each component of the total soil water potential in energy/volume and energy/weight at the points indicated (A, B, …). If a component is zero, state why.

Problem description The Jim Thornton Coffee House chain is planning expansion into Calgary. It has selected many possible sites for new coffee houses. The possible sites are joined by roads that form a spanning tree. To eliminate competition with itself, the company has determined that it should not choose two sites that are adjacent in this tree. From its market evaluation, the company has also determined the expected profit per year for each site. Your job is to determine what sites Jim Thornton should choose for his coffee houses. a. Define this problem precisely, by defining the required Input and the required Output. Use mathematical notation. b. Write a recursive equation for the function that maximizes the profit per year. Include a short argument that your equation is correct. c. Write an efficient algorithm that computes the maximum profit per year, and also computes the sites that should be chosen. Your algorithm should run in time that is polynomial in the input size. d. What is the asymptotic running time of your algorithm? Defend your answer. Your algorithm and proofs should be precise and concise (as well, of course, as correct.) Elegance of your solution counts. 2 CPSC 413 — Winter, 2013 Home Work Exercise #8 March 16, 2013 1. Exercise 1 Chapter 6, page 312 of the textbook. Answer: (a) A counterexample is given in Figure 1. The given algorithm finds an independent set of weight 8. However, the maximum total weight is 10 by adding the nodes at two ends to the independent set. 5 58 Figure 1: A counterexample to the algorithm of 1(a) (b) A counterexample is given in Figure 2. The given algorithm finds an independent set of weight 11. However, the maximum total weight is 19 by adding the nodes at two ends to the independent set. 10 12 9 Figure 2: A counterexample to the algorithm of 1(b) (c) Input: An array A = (a1, . . . , an) of n integers. (I use “array” rather than “set” here because the elements in a set do not have the notion of order.) Output: A set S = {aα1, . . . , aαm} ⊆ A, which satisfies (1) m∑ i=1 aαi is maximum; (2) ∀i ∈ {1, . . . , m}, ̸ ∃j ∈ {1, . . . , m} s.t. |αi − αj| = 1. Optimization function. Indset[i] denotes the maximum independent set of an array with i positive integers (a1, . . . , ai). Let OPT [i] denote the total weight of Indset[i]. The optimization function is OPT [0] = 0, OPT [1] = max{0, a1}, OPT [i] = { OPT [i − 1] if OPT [i − 1] ≥ OPT [i − 2] + ai OPT [i − 2] + ai otherwise Correctness of the optimization function. It is trivial if n = 0 or 1. When n ≥ 2, there are two cases to be considered. Case 1: Indset[n] includes an. Then Indset[n] must not include an−1. And Indset[n]−{an} must be a maximum independent set of (a1, . . . , an−2). This can be easily verified by a replacement argument. If the statement is not true, then the total weight of Indset[n] − {an} is less than OPT [n − 2]. Then Indset[n − 2] ∪ {an} has total weight larger than Indset[n] does, and this co.

The appraisal process helps management assess this contribution as well as identify areas that need improvement. As a formal process, appraisal is a part of a performance system designed to manage an organizations human resources. The growing complexity of customer, employee and management relationships requires a new leadership paradigm. This is certainly true in today’s highly competitive market place where a premium is placed on the development of human capital. Management of today’s workforce has been made more difficult by the implementation of the contemporary business practices such as downsizing, reengineering, Total Quality Management (TQM), employee empowerment and team performance systems. These changes have altered the dynamics of the traditional management and employee relationships. The increase in layoffs globally has placed organizations in a more complicated position to manage their workforces. Business organizations have continued to develop sophisticated performance management systems to manage their human resources and to identify leaders to sustain growth of the company (Kusluvan, 2003). Employee performance can be improved in many ways. E.

Problem B: Regulatory Compliance 1 Note: All character and company names are fictional and are not intended to depict any actual person or business. Knowing that mergers may require a dramatic change in company culture, you realize that you need to meet with the human resources (HR) and leadership teams because they will play important roles in the merger. The leadership team will drive the change, and the HR team will be charged with managing the change. You have scheduled a meeting with Steve Maine, your vice president at ALTAP consulting, to consult with him on this project. “Thanks for meeting me today, Steve,” you begin. “I need to talk through some of the issues before meeting with the HR and leadership teams at UWEAR and PALEDENIM. The merger is going well, but it is becoming apparent that there are some significant change issues that need to be addressed.” “I’ve heard good things about your work on this project,” Steve answers. “I’m sure you have it under control, but I’ll be happy to help where I can.” “We are dealing with the issues of joining together two very disparate companies,” you explain. “On the one hand, UWEAR is public and has 100 employees; on the other hand, PALEDENIM is private with only 15 employees. They basically provide the same type of service, but they are completely different businesses in how they operate inside and outside of the company.” You continue, “Yes, and both the employees and managers of each company have different philosophies and expectations. PALEDENIM employees and managers have a kind of ‘one-for-all and all-for-one’ attitude. They all chip in to get the job done. The UWEAR employees and managers look at things differently. They’re more apt to do their jobs, get them done, and go home without consideration for what else the rest of the team needs to complete.” “That is definitely a culture issue,” Steve agrees. “In fact, that is the classic definition of a culture issue. I’m sure they’re also dealing with the typical power struggles. I bet everyone is worried about whether their department will be headed by a UWEAR manager or a PALEDENIM manager.” Problem B: Regulatory Compliance 2 “Exactly,” you say. “I know the intention of the merger is to benefit both companies, but there are unintended consequences as well. We need to do whatever we can to help the employees of both companies get through this with the fewest glitches possible.” Analysis Assessing poverty–deforestation links: Evidence from Swat, Pakistan Shaheen Rafi Khan a, Shahrukh Rafi Khan b,⁎ a Sustainable Development Policy Institute, P.

Essay #2 addresses some topic in the broad scope of Transcendentalis.docx

elishaoatway

Essay #2 addresses some topic in the broad scope of Transcendentalism. Essay #2 has similar parameters -- length/outside source requirements, drafting process -- as Essay #1. You are always free to develop your own topic approach within the Transcendentalism topic. Some suggestive options: 1) Analyze Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience" in light of a contemporary example or figure or incident in the tradition of American civil disobedience. 2) Analyze the persuasive and rhetorical strategies of one of the transcendental pieces (or King's "Letter") that we have read. You might look at issues of audience, style, emotional vs./and rational appeal, appeals to history/tradition or rejection of history/tradtion, metaphoric style, tone and so forth. If you deem them successful, why/how do they succeed in arguing their points? What might be points of counterargument or criticism or weaknesses in their approach? Does it work as a piece of argument/writing? 3) Pick one (or several if you feel it's appropriate) key concepts or quotes from a work (or several works) and discuss the concept/quote in terms of how it has evolved or put it in larger context. How have these words taken form in our laws, practice, literature, or culture? Where are the gaps between the great ideals of these writers' words and the reality of their times and/or ours? e.g. How might MLK (in light of his "Letter") feel about the society and civil rights situation we see today? 4) You could pick one, two, or three key themes from any of the works and discuss how the text fleshes out these themes and why they are important to our understanding of the period, or the particular writer, or to transcendentalism as a movement, or to American tradition or literature and so forth. 5) You could pick a theme which runs through several of the texts (for example, something about the role or nature of the individual) and trace it through its different configuration and representations. Essay length: 4-5 pages -- again, I'm always more concerned with minimum than limiting any maximum length. Include outside critical sources. MLA documentation .

Essay # 2 The Tempest Prompt 4-5 pages ( MLA format) Character: The Tempest presents a variety of characters who manipulate each other, raising questions about personal agency and autonomy. How are characters formed as the result of other characters’ direct influence? How might the text mirror our own experiences of identity formation? Perhaps the text suggests that we can never be autonomous individuals due to the ease by which we are influenced by others. Do you agree or disagree with this claim? Be sure to support your position with concrete examples; these examples may come from your personal experience and observations, but you should also use the main text of The Tempest as the basis for each of your claims.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...

indexPub

The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
