1Logical data modelIs used to describe a data in a deta.docxhyacinthshackley2629

Logical data model
Is used to describe a data in a detailed way. It contains all entities and relationships among them, specify all attributes for each entity and specify both primary and foreign keys for each entity.
It is where normalization of data is done and help to analyses database.
Key
· Solid red underline is for primary keys
· Dotted blue underline is for foreign keys
First Normal Form (1NF) - Is where a group of information can’t be allowed to repeat itself in two or more rows in a table. Each row must have a unique value. Primary is placed on one column but at times can have many columns. For example:-
Item_id
Customer_name
1
Liz, Caro
2
Ruth
3
Sam
And thus its INF for the above table will be:-
Item_id
Customer_name
1
Liz
1
Caro
2
Ruth
3
Sam
Any row must not have a column with more than one value for example separated by a comma. Then you must separate that data and put them in multiple rows.
This help to increase data redundancy because many columns with same data in multiple rows are created but each row will be unique.
Second Normal Form (2NF)
If is in INF and all of its non-key attributes are fully functional dependent on the primary key.
For example:-
Item_id
Customer_name
Order_total_price
1
Liz
500
2
Caro
800
3
James
75
2NF for the above will be:-
Item_id
Customer_name
1
Liz
2
Caro
3
James
Item_id
Order_total_price
1
500
2
800
3
75
From the 2NF tables above, Order_total_price is fully dependent on the primary key Item_id.
Third Normal Form (3NF) is where a table must be in 2NF and for every non-prime attribute should be dependent on the primary key.
For example:-
Customer_id
Customer_name
Customer_address
Customer_city
Customer_state
Customer_zip
1
Liz
12,
Oslo
Oslo
00100
2
Caro
456,
California
California
00213
3
James
89,
Michigan
Michigan
00457
3NF for the above will be:-
Customer_id
Customer_name
Customer_zip
1
Liz
00100
2
Caro
00213
3
James
00457
Customer_zip
Customer_address
Customer_city
Customer_state
00100
12,
Oslo
Oslo
00213
456,
California
California
00457
89,
Michigan
Michigan
Customer_zip is a transitive dependency but Customer_id is the primary key for the above tables. To apply 3NF Customer_zip becomes the new primary key because it is depended by the address, city and state of a customer and a new table is created for such.
The importance of removing transitive dependency is that data duplication is reduced in a table and data integrity is attained.

MTH 151 – Mathematics for the Liberal Arts I
SetsApplication Directions
Purposes
This assignment will help you practice applying what you have learned about set theory to real problems or situations, and communicating about mathematical ideas with others.
Directions
Pick a problem:
Option 1: Find a problem in your home, school, or work life that you can solve using what you learned about set theory in this unit. For example, suppose you are coordinating a youth group event to make sub sandwiches to sell as a fund raiser. You might have tuna subs, regular subs, and vegetarian subs. Some of the ingredients will be used in several or all three types, while other ingredients will be unique to one kind of sub. You could use set theory to think through how many portions of each ingredient you will need. This use of set theory could apply to many different product assembly situations.
Option 2: Find an example of the use of set theory in the news. Data from studies of new medicines, the U. S. Census, and opinion surveys can often be analyzed by applying set theory.
Solve the problem or analyze the use of set theory in an example:
If you picked a problem from your own experience, use set theory to find a solution. If you picked an example from the news, analyze how theory was or could be used to answer questions about the data. The better you use the appropriate mathematics to correctly solve the problem or analyze the example, the more points you will earn.
Present the problem or example and your solution or analysis to the others in the class:
Post a message in the application discussion forum for this unit. In your message, describe the problem or example and how you solved or analyzed it. Use the equation editor as necessary to show the mathematical operations. The better you communicate, the more points you will earn. If you enjoy and know how to use multimedia, such as video, audio, and graphics, you may use those as well, but this is not required.
View and respond to the applications submitted by your classmates.
Pick two of your classmates’ applications that were particularly helpful to you. Write a response to each, explaining in a paragraph or two why their applications helped you better understand the mathematics for this unit or better understand how the mathematics for this unit could be used outside of class.

Assignment 2: Case Study
As discussed, family members and significant others of addicts are also affected by the addiction. In this module, you will get an opportunity to gather information from an addict's family members or significant others, for example, a spouse, partner, children, or parents. For this assignment, you will develop a brief case study and, using the information you have learned through this course, identify recommendations for the continued success of the family member or significant other.
Your interviewees may be people you know or people you met at the support group meeting. After the interview, write a three-page paper discussing the following:
· Demographics of the interviewees (no real names)
· History of the interaction
· Their feelings about living with an addict
· What they have done to encourage a positive change in the addict
· How they cope with the day-to-day challenges of living with an addict
· Your recommendations for their continued success
Create your reflection paper in Microsoft Word document format. Name your file M7_A2_LastName_Casestudy.doc, and submit it to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.

Codependency
The term “codependency” arose in the 1970s in reference to the changes one person makes to adjust to the addiction of another. For some, the term has broadened somewhat to include focusing on the needs of others to the exclusion of their own needs. However, controversy surrounds the term—some believe that codependency is nonexistent.
Do you think codependency exists in the family members .
This placement test is intended to produce a profile of the learner’s knowledge in English in order to identify the learner’s ‘cut-off point’. This cut-off point would be the point in the New Cutting Edge series, where learning should begin.
1. PROBLEM/SOLUTION ESSAYS
As a student writer, you’ll encounter different kinds of writing assignments, each
with its own requirements and skills. One common type of essay is the
PROBLEM/SOLUTION ESSAY, in which you will identify and discuss a situation or
problem and then propose and defend one or more solutions.
Below are nine steps you should follow for writing a PROBLEM/SOLUTION
ESSAY. They are not in order. Number them from 1 (first) to 9 (last).
#___ In the last paragraph, evaluate your possible solution(s) and make a final, overall
comment or a call to action. For example, remind your reader what the problem
is, how you propose to solve it, how your solution will work, or how others (like
your reader) can help.
#___ Study the question or situation carefully; take a few minutes to brainstorm all the
problems and solutions that you can think of. If it would be helpful, do some
preliminary reading or research or discuss your ideas with others.
#___ Start a new paragraph for the solutions. Introduce it with a topic sentence such as:
Although _______ is a _____ problem, there are also some_______ solutions.
For your main points, use transition expressions to take your reader from one
main point to your next main point: One solution is (that)…… or Another
alternative is (that)…… For each main point, include and discuss specific
examples or details to further explain or illustrate to make sure the reader really
understands your point.
#___ Choose strong main points that you will address: (1) what (three) characteristics
of the problem will you discuss and what solution(s) do you have for each
characteristic? Or (2) what (three) causes of the problem will you discuss and
2. PROBLEM/SOLUTION ESSAYS -- Page Two
what solution(s) do you have for each cause? Make sure that each solution is
logically connected to its problem.
#___ For each of your main points, brainstorm and write down supporting details that
you will use to develop that point. You might list details such as specific
examples, facts, or reasons.
#___ Check your essay again for conventions such as spelling, grammar, and sentence
sense. Have you written at least four paragraphs? Does each paragraph have a
topic sentence? In each paragraph do your main points stand out? Does each
main point have at least one or two supporting details?
#___ Start a new paragraph to discuss the problem(s). Introduce it/them in a topic
sentence. For your main points, use transition expressions to take your reader
from one main point to your next main point: One problem/issue n is (that)……
or Another concern is (that)…… For each main point, include and discuss specific
examples or details to further explain or illustrate to make sure the reader really
understands your point. For example, how, when, where, why, for whom is it a
problem?
#___ Start your essay with a general introduction; this can be done in two or three
sentences that lead to the problem itself. Identify the problem. Finish the
introductory paragraph with your thesis statement.
#___ Make sure that you have properly cited any sources you used to discuss the
problem(s) and your points, supporting details, and solution(s).
Now it’s time to work with some of these steps
by checking out a model PROBLEM/SOLUTION ESSAY.
3. ANALYZING A SAMPLE PROBLEM/SOLUTION ESSAY
TOPIC:
Drugs are becoming more and more common in many countries.
What are some of the problems associated with drug abuse, and what are
some of the possible solutions?
Student’s Essay:
Drug abuse is rife in many countries. Every society, every age and ethnic group,
every social class, and every family has been touched by the devastating effects of drug
addiction. Billions of dollars are spent regulating drug use, treating addicts and their
families, and fighting drug-related crime. Although drugs threaten many homes and
societies, their effects can be combated more effectively.
Drug abuse causes multiple problems for families and communities. Addicts are
often too sick, physically and mentally, to function as normal, responsible members of a
family or of society. For example, they often neglect or abuse their families and strain
these relationships and resources, especially if they eventually require expensive
treatment or hospitalization. Adult addicts may lose their jobs and, therefore, their means
of supporting themselves and any dependents. Children and teens who abuse drugs
become more rebellious and distant from their families, who despair over coping with
their loved ones’ drug problems. A second problematic effect of drug abuse is the crimes
committed by those profiting from selling illegal drugs and by the addicts who look for
more and more desperate ways to support their habits. Increased police resources are
needed to fight smuggling and dealing illicit drugs and the criminals who profit from
them. Communities continue to struggle to find ways to deter drug abuse and to
rehabilitate addicts. Combating drug problems strains the police departments as well as
the communties’ resources. Since many cities and communities are financially strapped,
adding more police protection, mainly through taxes, puts a strain on the citizens.
4. ANALYZING A SAMPLE PROBLEM/SOLUTION ESSAY
Page Two
Despite these problems, the menace of drugs can be fought. Education is the first
line of attack. Children need to be taught at home and in school about the dangers of
drug abuse. For example, discussions around the dinner table and during family outings
and school programs and activities in health classes can give children information to help
them deal with temptations and questions about drug use. Families and counselors need
to talk to those at risk and help them resist experimenting with illicit drugs. Another
approach to the problem of drug abuse is to increase police manpower and resources to
stop dealers and to enforce the law. Statistics show the bigger the drug problem in a
community, the bigger its crime rate and the bigger its need for police protection. Even
though the cost of adding more police may strain a community and its citizens
financially, protecting its children from the dangers of drug abuse and cutting down on
drug-related crimes are worth the price.
In conclusion, although the problems of drug abuse may seem impossible to
eliminate or to even control, there are concrete steps that can be taken to weaken the hold
of drugs on families and on society. Parents, teachers, and communities must take steps
to educate children about the dangers of drug abuse and must offer safe, appealing
alternative for restless, inquisitive young people and programs and for those who are at-
risk. In addition, police departments must be provided with more manpower, resources,
and community support to combat drug-related crimes. If the war on drugs is to be won,
everyone must realize that he or she has a stake in the battle and in its outcome.
Now answer the following questions about the essay
on the problem of drug abuse.
