BA300 Manager Interview Assignment
This is a research paper, so you need to approach it as just that. The point of this assignment is to demonstrate that you can complete research, and connect that research to the class material. In doing this, you will show that you understand and can explain the class material through the research. The research in this assignment is the information that you collect from the interview and shadowing experiences.
Complete the following steps to complete this project:
Step 1: Choose an interview and shadowing subject – This should be a person that:
1. Is currently a manager with employees that they manage,
2. You have access to for both the interview and shadowing, and
3. Agrees to allow you to interview and shadow them.
If you need a letter from the professor to gain their approval, please request one from the professor.
Step 2: Conduct your interview - Use the questions listed below for conducting your Manager Interview. You’ll want to take notes and, if possible, audio record the interview for use when you’re preparing your paper.
Step 3: Shadow your interviewee – spend at least 4 or more hours following the manager through their daily routine. Make notes during this time that focus on what the manager may or may not be doing well based on your opinion and the material from the class.
Step 4: After conducting your interview – prepare a 5-7-page paper that reports your findings from the interview. Think of the interview and shadowing as a primary source (like a book or research journal) to use to write your paper. You MUST clearly cover the following five points:
a. Summarize the manager’s responses to the questions.
b. Evaluate and compare the manager’s responses compared to textbook and lecture discussions.
c. What advice might you give to the manager in order to improve his/her performance?
d. What information most surprised you from the interview and was most useful to you?
e. Use the interview to identify lessons for doing management that you would keep in mind if you held a managerial position.
TIPS FOR WRITING YOUR PAPER:
DO:
DON’T:
1. Use subtopic titles to identify main topics or sections of the paper.
2. Use direct quotes from the interview/shadowing to emphasize and connect ideas, and to show that you completed both.
3. Make direct connections between the class topics and things identified in the interview/shadowing.
4. Use correct English words and grammar in your paper to make this a credible research paper.
5. Use correct paragraph structure, meaning that all sentences in a paragraph should support a topic sentence. If a sentence doesn’t support the topic sentence, that means that another paragraph is needed with a different topic sentence or the sentence should be deleted.
1. Write in the first person by using I, me, my, etc. This is a research paper, it’s about the interviewee and not about you.
2. Inject bias into your paper and make the research less credible by establishing a .

Assessment item 3 - Critical Reflective Blogs
Value: 45%
Length: 700 words per blog (maximum)
Total: 2800 words
TASK
The purpose of this assignment is to complete critical reflective blogs for four OB topics covered in the subject. The aim of this assignment is to enable you to highlight thoughts on each topic as well as demonstrate your understanding of the topics covered in this subject.
In this assessment, you have to reflect on four OB topics of your choice. You can choose from the following topics:
• Topic 4: Getting the right people
• Topic 5: Work and job performance and conditions
• Topic 6: Assessing, influencing and rewarding performance
• Topic 7: Grouping individuals and behaviour; Organisational change; Organisational
culture
• Topic 8: Organisational processes and behaviour
• Topic 9: Leadership
• Topic 10: Organisational justice and employee wellbeing
A starting question for your reflection should be: What is the applicability and relevance of OB theory/model/concepts covered in the specific OB topic for me as a practitioner in my workplace? Discrepancies between the theory and practice should be explored, and implications for your workplace identified.
For students who may not have work experience, you may use newspapers or academic journal articles that discuss an OB trend/issue in an existing Australian or international organisation. Alternatively, you can do your own research on an organisation of your choice, and focus your reflection on the imagined influence this organisational context (in relation to the specific OB topic) would have on you.
The structure of the reflection blogs should follow the following four steps in order to enhance the analytical aspect of the reflection process and to ensure the benefits of this assignment for you and your development in the organisation:
1. Reflect on a workplace experience that is meaningful and important to you and your growth in the organisation (reflection should draw on your personal observations, experiences, assumptions and emotions).
2. Analyse the chosen situation by applying relevant OB concepts/theories/models from the relevant Topic.
3. Develop a strategy for managing own or other employee(s) behaviour with the purpose of addressing the workplace situation.
4. Explain what you have learned about the relevant OB topic/yourself/others in the workplace as a result of this reflection exercise.
Each reflection needs to be based on three recent scholarly articles. As this is a reflection where you are using your own experiences and views, your blogs should be written in first person.
A quality reflection shows deep critical analysis of workplace experiences through the application of OB theories/models/ concepts. It provides deep insights into the practitioner’s own practice. This is an opportunity to express your voice on workplace trends that are important to you.

Medical Imagining Through Healthcare
When we come to think of it, choosing a career is by far one of the most difficult decisions an adult can make. For some, that decision is chosen for them, whether it’s a business that’s being passed down or through the influence of others around them. Up until my senior year of high school, I had no idea what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. That was until I took an anatomy class and a class called Independent Study Mentorship (ISM). In ISM, we were required to find a career of interest and a professional in the field who you would "shadow" once a week for the entire year. I knew I was good at math so the career I chose was accounting. For many reasons, such as finding it quite boring, I quickly realized that this wasn’t the career for me. In my anatomy class, however, I found a passion in the health industry. It was by far the most difficult class I've enrolled in however; it has also been the most exciting class I've ever taken. I remember looking forward to the class, even when studying for exams, as I would challenge myself to get above a 95. Since then, I knew I had found my passion in health. Through several hours of research, the career I am most interested in is Radiology. When I took the Myers Briggs Personality test on the Humanmetrics website (2020), I discovered that my personality type is ENTJ. People with this personality type are known to be driven to turn theories into plans, highly value knowledge, are future-oriented, and usually possess excellent verbal communication skills. People tend to have a lot of anxiety about taking x-rays. I will use my excellent verbal communication skills to put patients at ease about their x-rays. I believe all of my traits make me the perfect candidate for my career choice because they confirm that I am responsible enough to work in the medical field and will be skilled at anticipating the next step. Being organized is very helpful in any career path as well and will only serve to enhance my other qualities. I also believe my last trait of consistency might be the most important; treating everyone with the same level of care is the only way to ensure the best results for everyone who walks through those hospital doors, which ultimately leads to the most lives saved.
Job Responsibilities
A Radiologist is a medical professional who specializes in medical imaging to make a diagnosis. A radiologist main job responsibility is to comprehend and interpret diagnostic imagining which may include; CT scans (Computed tomography), MRI's (Magnetic resonance imaging), and ultrasounds (Career Coach, 2018). The main function of a CT scan is to create a 3-D image through the use of x-rays. An MRI, however, uses magnetic fields to create a more detailed image that show.

Mass Murderers and Serial KillersReview the two case studies out.docx
Mass Murderers and Serial Killers
Review the two case studies outlined below:
Case 1: Mass Murder
Andrea Yates was convicted of drowning her five children and given a sentence of life in prison.
Later, it was found that the sentence of life in prison was based on the inaccurate testimony of a highly respected forensic psychiatrist. Her life sentence was overturned, and she was found guilty by reason of insanity and sent to a mental hospital.
Yates suffered from severe postpartum depression and had been hospitalized for an attempted suicide before she killed her children. Yates was delusional and reported having thoughts that were degrading and persecuting her for her motherhood. She was also having command hallucinations telling her she was a bad mother and her children would grow up to be criminals, so she should save them by drowning them.
Case 2: Serial Killer
In 1980, John Wayne Gacy was found guilty of murdering 33 young men. He picked up some of his victims at a local homosexual bar. Other victims were taken home for "interviews" as prospective employees for his construction business. The remains of 29 victims were found buried under his home while the other four victims had been thrown into the Des Plaines River near Chicago.
Gacy always maintained his innocence throughout the trial and appeals process claiming someone else put the bodies in the crawl space beneath his house. Also known as "The Killer Clown," Gacy used handcuffs and chloroform to subdue his victims, and then he would tie a rope around their necks and slowly twist until he squeezed the life out of them.
Gacy had been married twice and had two children from the first marriage. Both marriages ended in divorce when his wives found items from his victims or were unhappy from a lack of any sexual contact between them. During both marriages and afterwards, Gacy was considered an outstanding member of his community. Gacy was executed on May 10, 1994.
Case 1 (mass murder) and Case 2 (serial murder) can be analyzed and categorized by fitting them into one or more of the theories developed to explain the phenomenon of multiple murder. The theories are developed by experts in the field who study mass and serial murderers.
After reading the two case studies, discuss the following:
What are the similarities and differences between the definitions for serial and mass murder?
What purposes are served by establishing the typologies that apply to a mass murderer? Are they the same purposes that are served by establishing the typology of a serial killer?
Could a serial murderer ever become a mass murderer and vice versa? Why or why not?
Considering the cases described above, which typologies apply to each killer? Explain how you arrived at this conclusion.

Memorandum of Understanding The Norwalk Agreement” .docx
Memorandum of Understanding
“The Norwalk Agreement”
At their joint meeting in Norwalk, Connecticut, USA on September 18, 2002, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB) each acknowledged their commitment to the development of high-quality,
compatible accounting standards that could be used for both domestic and cross-border
financial reporting. At that meeting, both the FASB and IASB pledged to use their best
efforts to (a) make their existing financial reporting standards fully compatible as soon as
is practicable and (b) to coordinate their future work programs to ensure that once
achieved, compatibility is maintained.
To achieve compatibility, the FASB and IASB (together, the “Boards”) agree, as a matter
of high priority, to:
a) undertake a short-term project aimed at removing a variety of individual
differences between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRSs, which include International Accounting Standards, IASs);
b) remove other differences between IFRSs and U.S. GAAP that will remain at
January 1, 2005, through coordination of their future work programs; that is,
through the mutual undertaking of discrete, substantial projects which both
Boards would address concurrently;
c) continue progress on the joint projects that they are currently undertaking; and,
d) encourage their respective interpretative bodies to coordinate their activities.
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING – FASB and IASB 2
The Boards agree to commit the necessary resources to complete such a major
undertaking.
The Boards agree to quickly commence deliberating differences identified for resolution in
the short-term project with the objective of achieving compatibility by identifying common,
high-quality solutions. Both Boards also agree to use their best efforts to issue an
exposure draft of proposed changes to U.S. GAAP or IFRSs that reflect common
solutions to some, and perhaps all, of the differences identified for inclusion in the short-
term project during 2003.
As part of the process, the IASB will actively consult with and seek the support of other
national standard setters and will present proposals to standard setters with an official
liaison relationship with the IASB, as soon as is practical.
The Boards note that the intended implementation of IASB’s IFRSs in several jurisdictions
on or before January 1, 2005 require that attention be paid to the timing of the effective
dates of new or amended reporting requirements. The Boards’ proposed strategies will be
implemented with that timing in mind.

BA300 Manager Interview Assignment
This is a research paper, so you need to approach it as just that. The point of this assignment is to demonstrate that you can complete research, and connect that research to the class material. In doing this, you will show that you understand and can explain the class material through the research. The research in this assignment is the information that you collect from the interview and shadowing experiences.
Complete the following steps to complete this project:
Step 1: Choose an interview and shadowing subject – This should be a person that:
1. Is currently a manager with employees that they manage,
2. You have access to for both the interview and shadowing, and
3. Agrees to allow you to interview and shadow them.
If you need a letter from the professor to gain their approval, please request one from the professor.
Step 2: Conduct your interview - Use the questions listed below for conducting your Manager Interview. You’ll want to take notes and, if possible, audio record the interview for use when you’re preparing your paper.
Step 3: Shadow your interviewee – spend at least 4 or more hours following the manager through their daily routine. Make notes during this time that focus on what the manager may or may not be doing well based on your opinion and the material from the class.
Step 4: After conducting your interview – prepare a 5-7-page paper that reports your findings from the interview. Think of the interview and shadowing as a primary source (like a book or research journal) to use to write your paper. You MUST clearly cover the following five points:
a. Summarize the manager’s responses to the questions.
b. Evaluate and compare the manager’s responses compared to textbook and lecture discussions.
c. What advice might you give to the manager in order to improve his/her performance?
d. What information most surprised you from the interview and was most useful to you?
e. Use the interview to identify lessons for doing management that you would keep in mind if you held a managerial position.
TIPS FOR WRITING YOUR PAPER:
DO:
DON’T:
1. Use subtopic titles to identify main topics or sections of the paper.
2. Use direct quotes from the interview/shadowing to emphasize and connect ideas, and to show that you completed both.
3. Make direct connections between the class topics and things identified in the interview/shadowing.
4. Use correct English words and grammar in your paper to make this a credible research paper.
5. Use correct paragraph structure, meaning that all sentences in a paragraph should support a topic sentence. If a sentence doesn’t support the topic sentence, that means that another paragraph is needed with a different topic sentence or the sentence should be deleted.
1. Write in the first person by using I, me, my, etc. This is a research paper, it’s about the interviewee and not about you.
2. Inject bias into your paper and make the research less credible by establishing a .

Assessment item 3 - Critical Reflective Blogs
Value: 45%
Length: 700 words per blog (maximum)
Total: 2800 words
TASK
The purpose of this assignment is to complete critical reflective blogs for four OB topics covered in the subject. The aim of this assignment is to enable you to highlight thoughts on each topic as well as demonstrate your understanding of the topics covered in this subject.
In this assessment, you have to reflect on four OB topics of your choice. You can choose from the following topics:
• Topic 4: Getting the right people
• Topic 5: Work and job performance and conditions
• Topic 6: Assessing, influencing and rewarding performance
• Topic 7: Grouping individuals and behaviour; Organisational change; Organisational
culture
• Topic 8: Organisational processes and behaviour
• Topic 9: Leadership
• Topic 10: Organisational justice and employee wellbeing
A starting question for your reflection should be: What is the applicability and relevance of OB theory/model/concepts covered in the specific OB topic for me as a practitioner in my workplace? Discrepancies between the theory and practice should be explored, and implications for your workplace identified.
For students who may not have work experience, you may use newspapers or academic journal articles that discuss an OB trend/issue in an existing Australian or international organisation. Alternatively, you can do your own research on an organisation of your choice, and focus your reflection on the imagined influence this organisational context (in relation to the specific OB topic) would have on you.
The structure of the reflection blogs should follow the following four steps in order to enhance the analytical aspect of the reflection process and to ensure the benefits of this assignment for you and your development in the organisation:
1. Reflect on a workplace experience that is meaningful and important to you and your growth in the organisation (reflection should draw on your personal observations, experiences, assumptions and emotions).
2. Analyse the chosen situation by applying relevant OB concepts/theories/models from the relevant Topic.
3. Develop a strategy for managing own or other employee(s) behaviour with the purpose of addressing the workplace situation.
4. Explain what you have learned about the relevant OB topic/yourself/others in the workplace as a result of this reflection exercise.
Each reflection needs to be based on three recent scholarly articles. As this is a reflection where you are using your own experiences and views, your blogs should be written in first person.
A quality reflection shows deep critical analysis of workplace experiences through the application of OB theories/models/ concepts. It provides deep insights into the practitioner’s own practice. This is an opportunity to express your voice on workplace trends that are important to you.

Medical Imagining Through Healthcare
When we come to think of it, choosing a career is by far one of the most difficult decisions an adult can make. For some, that decision is chosen for them, whether it’s a business that’s being passed down or through the influence of others around them. Up until my senior year of high school, I had no idea what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. That was until I took an anatomy class and a class called Independent Study Mentorship (ISM). In ISM, we were required to find a career of interest and a professional in the field who you would "shadow" once a week for the entire year. I knew I was good at math so the career I chose was accounting. For many reasons, such as finding it quite boring, I quickly realized that this wasn’t the career for me. In my anatomy class, however, I found a passion in the health industry. It was by far the most difficult class I've enrolled in however; it has also been the most exciting class I've ever taken. I remember looking forward to the class, even when studying for exams, as I would challenge myself to get above a 95. Since then, I knew I had found my passion in health. Through several hours of research, the career I am most interested in is Radiology. When I took the Myers Briggs Personality test on the Humanmetrics website (2020), I discovered that my personality type is ENTJ. People with this personality type are known to be driven to turn theories into plans, highly value knowledge, are future-oriented, and usually possess excellent verbal communication skills. People tend to have a lot of anxiety about taking x-rays. I will use my excellent verbal communication skills to put patients at ease about their x-rays. I believe all of my traits make me the perfect candidate for my career choice because they confirm that I am responsible enough to work in the medical field and will be skilled at anticipating the next step. Being organized is very helpful in any career path as well and will only serve to enhance my other qualities. I also believe my last trait of consistency might be the most important; treating everyone with the same level of care is the only way to ensure the best results for everyone who walks through those hospital doors, which ultimately leads to the most lives saved.
Job Responsibilities
A Radiologist is a medical professional who specializes in medical imaging to make a diagnosis. A radiologist main job responsibility is to comprehend and interpret diagnostic imagining which may include; CT scans (Computed tomography), MRI's (Magnetic resonance imaging), and ultrasounds (Career Coach, 2018). The main function of a CT scan is to create a 3-D image through the use of x-rays. An MRI, however, uses magnetic fields to create a more detailed image that show.

Mass Murderers and Serial KillersReview the two case studies out.docx
Mass Murderers and Serial Killers
Review the two case studies outlined below:
Case 1: Mass Murder
Andrea Yates was convicted of drowning her five children and given a sentence of life in prison.
Later, it was found that the sentence of life in prison was based on the inaccurate testimony of a highly respected forensic psychiatrist. Her life sentence was overturned, and she was found guilty by reason of insanity and sent to a mental hospital.
Yates suffered from severe postpartum depression and had been hospitalized for an attempted suicide before she killed her children. Yates was delusional and reported having thoughts that were degrading and persecuting her for her motherhood. She was also having command hallucinations telling her she was a bad mother and her children would grow up to be criminals, so she should save them by drowning them.
Case 2: Serial Killer
In 1980, John Wayne Gacy was found guilty of murdering 33 young men. He picked up some of his victims at a local homosexual bar. Other victims were taken home for "interviews" as prospective employees for his construction business. The remains of 29 victims were found buried under his home while the other four victims had been thrown into the Des Plaines River near Chicago.
Gacy always maintained his innocence throughout the trial and appeals process claiming someone else put the bodies in the crawl space beneath his house. Also known as "The Killer Clown," Gacy used handcuffs and chloroform to subdue his victims, and then he would tie a rope around their necks and slowly twist until he squeezed the life out of them.
Gacy had been married twice and had two children from the first marriage. Both marriages ended in divorce when his wives found items from his victims or were unhappy from a lack of any sexual contact between them. During both marriages and afterwards, Gacy was considered an outstanding member of his community. Gacy was executed on May 10, 1994.
Case 1 (mass murder) and Case 2 (serial murder) can be analyzed and categorized by fitting them into one or more of the theories developed to explain the phenomenon of multiple murder. The theories are developed by experts in the field who study mass and serial murderers.
After reading the two case studies, discuss the following:
What are the similarities and differences between the definitions for serial and mass murder?
What purposes are served by establishing the typologies that apply to a mass murderer? Are they the same purposes that are served by establishing the typology of a serial killer?
Could a serial murderer ever become a mass murderer and vice versa? Why or why not?
Considering the cases described above, which typologies apply to each killer? Explain how you arrived at this conclusion.

Memorandum of Understanding The Norwalk Agreement” .docx
Memorandum of Understanding
“The Norwalk Agreement”
At their joint meeting in Norwalk, Connecticut, USA on September 18, 2002, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB) each acknowledged their commitment to the development of high-quality,
compatible accounting standards that could be used for both domestic and cross-border
financial reporting. At that meeting, both the FASB and IASB pledged to use their best
efforts to (a) make their existing financial reporting standards fully compatible as soon as
is practicable and (b) to coordinate their future work programs to ensure that once
achieved, compatibility is maintained.
To achieve compatibility, the FASB and IASB (together, the “Boards”) agree, as a matter
of high priority, to:
a) undertake a short-term project aimed at removing a variety of individual
differences between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRSs, which include International Accounting Standards, IASs);
b) remove other differences between IFRSs and U.S. GAAP that will remain at
January 1, 2005, through coordination of their future work programs; that is,
through the mutual undertaking of discrete, substantial projects which both
Boards would address concurrently;
c) continue progress on the joint projects that they are currently undertaking; and,
d) encourage their respective interpretative bodies to coordinate their activities.
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING – FASB and IASB 2
The Boards agree to commit the necessary resources to complete such a major
undertaking.
The Boards agree to quickly commence deliberating differences identified for resolution in
the short-term project with the objective of achieving compatibility by identifying common,
high-quality solutions. Both Boards also agree to use their best efforts to issue an
exposure draft of proposed changes to U.S. GAAP or IFRSs that reflect common
solutions to some, and perhaps all, of the differences identified for inclusion in the short-
term project during 2003.
As part of the process, the IASB will actively consult with and seek the support of other
national standard setters and will present proposals to standard setters with an official
liaison relationship with the IASB, as soon as is practical.
The Boards note that the intended implementation of IASB’s IFRSs in several jurisdictions
on or before January 1, 2005 require that attention be paid to the timing of the effective
dates of new or amended reporting requirements. The Boards’ proposed strategies will be
implemented with that timing in mind.

CVS Health is considering expanding into China. China represents a large potential market due to its population of 1.38 billion people and growing middle class. While expansion could increase CVS's revenue and global presence by diversifying its portfolio, there are also challenges. CVS must understand Chinese culture, consumer demands, and the economic, political, and social differences between the US and China. It should also modify its retail outlets and strategy to better serve Chinese customers. With adequate research and preparation, expansion into China's favorable business environment could strengthen CVS's competitive position globally. However, government policies and cultural differences may also impede its success.
Meeting or Beating Analyst Expectations in thePost-Scandals .docx
This document summarizes a study that investigates changes in the stock market's reaction to companies meeting or beating analyst expectations, and changes in companies' reliance on earnings management and expectations management, following major accounting scandals in the early 2000s. The study finds that the stock market no longer rewards companies for meeting expectations by small amounts, and rewards are smaller for beating by larger amounts. It also finds companies are less likely to rely on earnings management to meet targets, but more likely to manage expectations downward. Overall, meeting expectations has become a stronger signal of future performance since reliance on earnings management has decreased.

SUBJECT: MEMO & SWOT ANALYSIS OF THE COLUMBUS, OHIO POLICE DEPARTMENT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The accompanying SWOT analysis was developed to identify levels of trust in the CPD, considering the high crime rate in Columbus, Ohio and the violence often connected to it. The youth and community interactions are highlighted as strengths and opportunities, whereas public distrust and crime are highlighted as weaknesses and threats, respectively. So, my suggestions for the CPD are to use crisis professionals in nonviolent situations (such mental health and homeless crises) and to give diversity in hiring top priority.
BACKGROUND
Crime in Columbus, Ohio, is so high that "more than 96% of the other municipalities [in Ohio] have a lower crime rate," making it one of the most dangerous cities in the country. Given the police's efforts to increase public safety, some may question the force's current standing. CPD's credibility has been damaged since the outbreak began as a result of the officers' fatally shooting of unarmed African Americans and the use of tear gas and rubber bullets on hundreds of protesters during the Black Lives Matter Movement (Wedd,2020). The U.S. Department of Justice has launched an investigation into the CPD because of these misdeeds, looking into their policies, procedures, and any racial prejudices.
SWOT ANALYSIS
After compiling the foregoing information, I developed the SWOT analysis of the CPD in the bellow attached. With the crime rate always on the rise and the public demanding action from law enforcement, one must wonder: do people still have faith in the Columbus Police Department? It is the goal of the SWOT analysis to shed light on the sources of distrust and the means by which trust can be reestablished in those sources. Youth engagement, fundraising prowess, and departmental effectiveness are all areas in which the CPD excels (Wedd,2020). There is a lot of mistrust in the public, and the reputation of executives and the workers are both falling. They have potential in attracting a more diverse workforce and gaining the trust of young people and communities. An increase in violent crime, public discontent, and reluctance on the part of the public to call the police will pose serious challenges for the Columbus Police Department.
RECOMMENDATIONS
First, in situations where police intervention is unnecessary (such as nonviolent mental health crises, suicide threats, and homeless crises), I advocate for the use of trained crisis experts rather than solely police personnel. specially at this time when public faith in law enforcement is low and crime rates are high, deploying police to areas where they are most needed and appreciated can make communities safer overall. In addition, many people think "police officers and police organizations are incapable of repairing themselves" because of policing's racist origins. Additionally, 73% of.

Metabolic acidosis A decrease in serum HCO3 of less than 24 mEqL.docx
Metabolic acidosis: A decrease in serum HCO3 of less than 24 mEq/L and an increase in the hydrogen ion concentration in the systemic circulation (Burger & Schaller, 2022).
Pathophysiology: This occurs when non-carbonic acid concentrations rise, bicarbonate (base) is lost from extracellular fluid, or the kidneys are unable to replenish it. This can happen suddenly, as in the case of lactic acidosis brought on by inadequate circulation or hypoxemia, or more gradually, as in the case of renal failure (failure to excrete acid) or diabetic ketoacidosis (excess production of keto acids from lack of insulin) (Huether & McCance, 2014).
Clinical manifestations: Alteration in the neurologic, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular systems are signs of metabolic acidosis. Initial symptoms of severe acidosis include lethargy and a headache, which can escalate to a coma. Respiratory compensation is indicated by deep, fast breathing (Kussmaul breaths). It's typical to have anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Extreme acidosis may make it harder for the heart to contract normally and result in potentially fatal dysrhythmias (Huether & McCance, 2014).
Evaluation and treatment: Lab results, symptoms, and medical history are used to make the definitive diagnosis of metabolic acidosis. The results of the laboratory tests will reveal arterial blood pH below 7.35 and bicarbonate concentration below 24 mEq/L. A movement to the right can be seen in the oxyhemoglobin curve. For a buffering solution to be used effectively, the underlying issue must be identified. Administration is necessary to raise the pH to a safe level during severe acidosis (pH 7.1), especially if there is renal failure. Deficits in water and sodium must also be made up (Huether & McCance, 2014).
Metabolic alkalosis: An initial rise in serum bicarbonate, which causes a blood pH increase to >7.45 (Tinawi, 2021).
Pathophysiology: Increased bicarbonate concentration, which is often brought on by an excessive loss of metabolic acids. Prolonged vomiting, stomach suctioning, a high intake of bicarbonate, hyperaldosteronism with hypokalemia, and diuretic medication are all conditions that might lead to metabolic alkalosis (Huether & McCance, 2014).
Clinical Manifestations: Volume loss and electrolyte deficits are linked to several common symptoms including weakness, cramping, and overactive reflexes. Some people may have paresthesias, tetany, and seizures. To maximize carbon dioxide retention, respirations are shallow and sluggish. With severe alkalosis, disorientation and seizures happen. A potential issue is atrial tachycardia. As oxyhemoglobin's dissociation decreases and the likelihood of dysrhythmias rises, the oxyhemoglobin curve shifts to the left (Huether & McCance, 2014).
Evaluation and treatment:A sodium chloride solution is necessary for the treatment of contraction alkalosis or hypochloremic alkalosis. As a result, HCO3 may be expelled as NaHCO3 in the urine .
McDonald’s—The Coffee Spill Heard ’Round the WorldThe McDonald’s.docx
McDonald’s—The Coffee Spill Heard ’Round the World
The McDonald’s coffee spill is the most famous consumer lawsuit in the world. Everyone knows about this case, and the details involved in it continue to be debated in many different venues—classrooms, Web sites, blogs, law schools, and business schools. Regardless, it serves as one of the best platforms in the world for discussing what companies owe their consumer stakeholders and what responsibilities consumers have for their own well-being. Consumers, lawyers, and analysts are still debating the world famous coffee spill case.
Keeping the topic hot was the 2011 documentary film,
Hot Coffee
, which analyzed the famous coffee spill, set the facts straight, and highlighted the ongoing debate about the impact of tort reform on the U.S. judicial system. The film premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and aired on HBO during June 2011. The film won many awards.
Stella Liebeck
Stella Liebeck and her grandson, Chris Tiano, drove her son, Jim, to the airport 60 miles away in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on the morning of February 27, 1992. Because she had to leave home early, she and Chris missed having breakfast. Upon dropping Jim off at the airport, they proceeded to a McDonald’s drive-through for breakfast. Stella, an active, 79-year-old, retired department-store clerk, ordered a McBreakfast, and Chris parked the car so she could add cream and sugar to her coffee.
What occurred next was the coffee spill that has been heard ‘round the world. A coffee spill, serious burns, a lawsuit, and an eventual settlement made Stella Liebeck (pronounced Lee-beck) the “poster lady” for the bitter tort reform discussions that have dominated the news for more than 20 years. To this day, the issue is still debated, with cases similar to Stella’s continuing to be filed.
Third-Degree Burns
According to Liebeck’s testimony, she tried to get the coffee lid off. She could not find any flat surface in the car, so she put the cup between her knees and tried to get it off that way. As she tugged at the lid, scalding coffee spilled into her lap. Chris jumped from the car and tried to help her. She pulled at her sweatsuit, but the pants absorbed the coffee and held it close to her skin. She was squirming as the 170-degree coffee burned her groin, inner thigh, and buttocks. Third-degree burns were evident as she reached an emergency room. A vascular surgeon determined she had third-degree (full thickness) burns over 6 percent of her body.
Hospitalization
Following the spill, Liebeck spent eight days in the hospital and about three weeks at home recuperating under the care of her daughter, Nancy Tiano. She was then hospitalized again for skin grafts. Liebeck lost 20 pounds during the ordeal and at times was practically immobilized. Another daughter, Judy Allen, recalled that her mother was in tremendous pain both after the accident and during the skin grafts.
According to a

magazine report, Liebeck wro.

Part B: Master Budget
You have just been hired as a new management trainee by Earrings Unlimited, a distributor of earrings to various retail outlets located in shopping malls across the country. In the past, the company has done very little in the way of budgeting and at certain times of the year has experienced a shortage of cash. Since you are well trained in budgeting, you have decided to prepare a master budget for the upcoming second quarter. To this end, you have worked with accounting and other areas to gather the information assembled below.
The company sells many styles of earrings, but all are sold for the same price—$10 per pair. Actual sales of earrings for the last three months and budgeted sales for the next six months follow (in pairs of earrings):
January (actual)

September (budget)
20,000
May (budget)
95,000
Sufficient inventory should be on hand at the end of each month to supply 40% of the earrings sold in the following month.
Suppliers are paid $3 for a pair of earrings. 40% of a month’s purchases is paid for in the month of purchase; the other 60% is paid for in the following month. All sales are on credit. Only 30% of a month’s sales are collected in the month of sale. An additional 60% is collected in the following month, and the remaining 10% is collected in the second month following sale.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
