Draft paper for fairness in hiring and promotions, employees’ rights and dutiesModupe Sarratt
This document discusses fairness in hiring and promotions from the perspective of employees' duties and rights. It argues that an employee's main duty is to fulfill their obligations to their employer. This includes respecting and obeying the employer, as the employer has the right to demand certain tasks from employees. While employees have the right to quit if a task conflicts with their values, they do not have the right to challenge or criticize their employer. The document concludes that an employer's role is to make money for the business by any means necessary, and employees must perform their duties as required by the employer regardless of ethical concerns.

JointsOrtho is considering expanding by opening a new manufacturing plant. They plan to manufacture and sell full hip replacements, targeting sales of 1,000-1,200 hips per month. The financial analysis examines the costs of opening a new plant, including buying a 41,000 square foot facility, hiring new employees, and manufacturing costs. It calculates the net present value, internal rate of return, and break-even point over 12 months to determine if the project will be profitable. The analysis finds an opportunity cost savings of $3.2 million from buying rather than leasing the new facility. It also outlines risks such as ensuring distribution and consumer acceptance of the new hip replacements.

False accusation of plagiarism by professor discriminationModupe Sarratt
Unforgettable higher education injustice
I considered the accusation of plagiarism is an unforgettable injustice to any foreign origin as well as the lack of career readiness for job placement as an injustice to the college graduates.
In my experience of false accusation of plagiarism is by discrimination due to my national origin as foreign students to share my experience in English class. In all my endeavors I am proud of myself for working hard to earn an “A” for grade is what I cherished to go forward to do better because I was lucky that the plagiarism accusation is discrimination for demotion or reduction of my grade from A to D to end up with an associate degree in medical assisting with GPA 3.15. As a result of the experience, I took the opportunity to prove myself with pursuing a bachelor degree in psychology to take college writing for researching with GPA 3.25 in Psychology. Then progress to earn my master degree in healthcare administration with GPA 3.75
Although I love Anne Arundel College, however, the experiences of false accusation of plagiarisms feel as discrimination to hamper/hinder my progress for higher education. I do wish that the rule or the policy is being evaluated to be fair so that some student will not feel as if they are the target for plagiarism due to their national origin.
Presentation of intravalley health for patient experience & satisfaction surveysModupe Sarratt
Intravalley Health strives to provide quality care for patients but faces challenges in measuring patient experience and satisfaction. Regulations from CMS, HIPAA, and ACA dictate medical procedures and policies that can negatively impact the patient experience by being too rigid. For example, a patient was denied a prescription refill due to missing a follow-up appointment, though she felt no additional care was needed. To improve care, Intravalley Health must understand how regulations influence patient experiences and make policies more flexible to accommodate patient needs.

The document proposes adding a Mohs surgery service line to the Layman Hospital System (LHS) located in South Florida. Skin cancer rates are high in the area due to sun exposure. Mohs surgery is more effective for treating common skin cancers and has better cosmetic outcomes than traditional excision. The service would benefit LHS's aging patient population, help capture referrals currently going outside the system, and generate revenue. Implementation would require hiring a Mohs surgeon, expanding pathology services, and developing new policies and procedures while overcoming potential resistance from competitors and insurers.
The Layman Hospital Systems is proposing to add a Mohs surgery service line to provide better outcomes for skin cancer patients in their region of South Florida, which has a high rate of skin cancer due to sun exposure. Mohs surgery removes skin cancers with better cosmetic results than traditional surgery, but it requires hiring a Mohs surgeon and supporting staff. The service would benefit LHS's growing elderly patient population that is susceptible to skin cancer, by allowing them to access this preferred treatment option while also generating greater revenue for LHS compared to other surgical procedures.
This document outlines a team project to design and implement a Mohs surgery service line at Layman Hospital Systems (LHS). Mohs surgery removes skin cancers while preserving healthy tissue, reducing scarring. Adding this service could generate greater income for LHS and improve outcomes for skin cancer patients. The project will involve analyzing needs and stakeholders, designing the service, addressing implementation challenges, and conducting marketing and resource analyses to make a recommendation. Hiring a Mohs surgeon and providing laboratory support are the major costs, while billing is straightforward as Mohs is usually covered by insurance.
This grant proposal seeks $100,000 from the Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County to establish a community center providing health education and screenings to low-income individuals.

- Phantom limb pain refers to pain felt in a limb that has been amputated. It is a phenomenon where amputees feel sensations, including pain, in the part of their body that is no longer there.
- There are two major theories for phantom limb pain - the psychogenic theory and the neurologic theory. The psychogenic theory describes pain occurring due to underlying psychological disorders rather than physical stimuli. The neurologic theory suggests pain occurs due to misfiring of nerve pathways in the brain and spinal cord that were originally connected to the amputated limb.
- Amputees report feeling their absent limb in different ways, such as feeling their arm resting on a table or their fingers touching textures. Some

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023.

THE DESCRIPTION OF NIGERIA
The geographical location of Nigeria is on the western coast of Africa. Nigeria is near to
the equator. Nigeria has a tropical climate with variable rainy and dry seasons. The new national
capital of Nigeria is Abuja.
The history of Nigeria is dated back to the middle ages for the kingdom is also historical
of Hausa and Yoruba kingdom. Nigeria name was derived from the topography of River Niger.
The Hausa kingdom or the Hausas are known to be the dutifully educated elite Islam situated in
the northern between the River Niger and Lake Chad. The Yoruba Kingdom or the Yorubas are
known for urbanization and agriculture on the southwest bank of River Niger and River Benue.
The Kingdom of Nri or Igbos are known for industrialization and production of goods in the
southeast delta bank are a Christian and idol worshiper. The history of Nigeria economic and
business included slave trade, after the suppression of slave trade, Nigeria became the exporter of
palm oil and palm kernels. Nigeria became independent on Oct. 1, 1960, with 19 states. Lagos
city was the federation capital of Nigeria. The political history of Nigeria politics traces back to
the 19th century for the influence of Islam in the 19 century. According to Levin, M. D. (1997),
“The legacy of this Islamic state has dramatically influenced Nigerian politics, which became
particularly evident during the period of political activity in the 1950s and the subsequent events
for political activity” (P50-65).
The current Nigeria has 36 states, Abuja is the national capital. There are about 162.5
million Nigerians, which makes Nigeria the largest country in Africa and the eightieth most
populous country in the world. Lagos state population alone in Nigeria is estimated to be shifted
to a higher population that census cannot keep up.Lagos state is the place for government
function and business center. Lagos city is the private sector of many government agencies and
5. CULTURE BRIEFING 5
the metropolitan. Draper (2015) said, “the population of Lagos city is between 13 million and 18
million for shifting in the country’s economy to banking and telecommunications” to indicate
that Lagos city is the Nigeria business center that is growing and thriving for internet marketing
while the traditional trade for mining is in decline. Based on the knowledge, Lagos city is the
most populous area, the business center with a high median income, the hub for import and
export, the seaport, and the center of the Nigeria movie industry Nollywood were the criteria for
selecting Lagos city as the new site for USA Selling Bicycles.
The political system of Nigeria is presidential system and by religion, Nigeria is a
democratic country with two parties for a system of government, “the military and the civilian,”
Nigeria Military party is similar to the U.S. Republican party and the Nigeria Civilian party is
similar to the U.S. Democratic party (Nigeria, 2010). Nigeria established a treaty for the trade
with the Economic Community of West Africa States to harmonize agricultural policies and to
facilitate the free movement of people, services and capital in Lagos in May 1975 (ECOWAS,
2010)
The Nigeria economy is one of the largest in Africa. Oil was discovered in Nigeria during
the 1960s that based the economy primarily on the petroleum in the 1970s that produced a rapid
economic growth. By the 1990s, Nigeria materializes to privatize many state-run enterprises,
especially in communication, power, and transportation to enhance the quality of service and
reduce the dependence on the government made Nigeria be the world's major exporters of oil to
other countries, which include the USA (Nigeria, 2010).
The Nigeria economics projected for industrialization are forecast to be a reliable contract
for business growth and will continue to be that way for trade of the free flow market for oil and
capital. According to the studies by Agboli & Ukaegbu, (2006), “Business environment and

Nigeria has the capacity for entrepreneurial activity”. The business environment and the
entrepreneurial activity in Nigeria is predominantly male.
In Lagos city where the site for USA Selling Bicycle is intended, the city is the largest
metropolitan and very much modernized and progressive. Sports, hiking, cycling for recreation
are already popular activities and expected to become more so. Lagos road structures included
cycling road to encourage riding bicycles to work instead of driving for reducing traffic jam that
is common in the Lagos major highway. Also, the transition of female entrepreneurship is
becoming socio-economic for the implication of businesswomen who also ride a bike to their
retail shop. However, businesswomen can control their own working lives. Nigeria view of the
retail market is men are better for selling cars, motorcycles, and bicycles for business. In the
business sector such as institutionalized practices for banking and legal judicature are dominated
by male. The male is the dominant wage earnings in Nigeria. In the transformation of Nigeria
entrepreneurship in Lagos state, Lagos city has become the predominately the hub for modern
good and computer based provision of service and the banking system in the country
employment structure.
The expected average monthly income for the government and the executives is doubling
for unlimited, the monthly income for the manager in Nigeria is estimated between N100,000
($800) and “N125,000 (US$833); for the retailer is estimated between N50,000 ($250) and
N75,000 (US$500), and for the marketer is estimated for N22,500 (US$150) according to
Lawanson & Fadere, (2013), “56% of the population are employed in the government office or
private corporation, about 43% are employed in business, and 39% are informal economy either
7. CULTURE BRIEFING 7
