She was preparing to meet with CEO Gary Kovacs to discuss the next phase of People efforts at Mozilla. She marveled at what the mission-based open source 1 organization had achieved in just 15 years. Mozilla had shown that valuable and competitive products could be produced as open source software by a small number of employees who were globally distributed in more than 20 countries, along with millions of global volunteers (called “contributors”) who built, tested, promoted, and supported Mozilla’s products on their own time—all together referred to as “Mozillians”. By the end of 2011, Mozilla had revenues of $163 million, up 33 percent from $123 million in 2010. And by 2013, Mozilla had nine physical offices in Mountain View, San Francisco, London, Paris, Auckland, Beijing, Tokyo, Vancouver, and Toronto, along with several internet-related products such as Firefox (free internet browser), Firefox OS (an open operating system for mobile devices), Marketplace (a creation and distribution platform for apps), Persona (a decentralized and secure authentication system for the web), Thunderbird (a free, open source, cross-platform e-mail and news client), and Webmaker (tools and education to help people move from using the web to making the web). 1 Open source meant that anyone could use the software, access the code, and modify, improve, and redistribute the modified software.

Senior Design Report Sample Description: This senior design project is called SafeStride. It is designed and made for people who do not have the ability to walk or need help walking. Many people around the world, and especially in the United States, who do not have the ability to walk without using cranes and crutches. However , there are many who use these tools incorrectly, therefore causing more harm on themselves rather than heeling themselves. So SDSU Electrical Engineering seniors came up with an idea of SafeStride in an effort to improve walking aids. The seniors came up with an idea of a cane that assists better in walking than the crutches and canes we see today. With the development of software technology and programming, students were able to make this cane send and receives data from a program, which then used by therapists and medical professionals to check if the cane is used appropriately by the person or not. Devices: There are many devices used in this project. For instance, one device is the Bluetooth RN42 chip. This device is coordinated to send information to a gadget where experts play out their investigation. More so, a lithium-ion battery that has energy which controls the gadgets found in the stick. At the base of the stick, there is a cell that checks the weight applied on the stick by the client. Also, there is a 18560 battery which is utilized to control up the stick's hardware through the charging of the battery. To get this stick working, sensors were used to measure metrics and use signals to send it to microcontrollers, and after they are sent by wireless to the computer. Cost: The project costed the students $643.43, $79.94 for the power components, $59.85 for the IMU, $120.54 for the Bluetooth Module, $125.70 for other components, and $151.85 for the materials of the cane. Purpose of Assignment This activity helps students recognize the significant role accounting plays in providing financial information to management for decision making through the evaluation of financial statements. This experiential assignment requires students to use ratios to evaluate and analyze a company’s liquidity, solvency, and profitability. Two-Rivers Inc. (TRI) manufactures a variety of consumer products. The company's founders have run the company for thirty years and are now interested in retiring. Consequently, they are seeking a purchaser, and a group of investors is looking into the acquisition of TRI. To evaluate its financial stability, TRI was requested to provide its latest financial statements and selected financial ratios. Summary information provided by TRI is presented below. Required: a. Calculate the select financial ratios for the fiscal year Year 2. (use MS word or excel but excel is more recommended) b. Interpret what each of these financial ratios means in terms of TRI's financial stability and operating efficiency. 500 words Click the Assignment Files tab to submit your assignment. Abstract : K.

Seminar 1240 www.thelancet.com Vol 387 March 19, 2016 Attention defi cit hyperactivity disorder Anita Thapar, Miriam Cooper Attention defi cit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a childhood-onset neurodevelopmental disorder with a prevalence of 1·4–3·0%. It is more common in boys than girls. Comorbidity with childhood-onset neurodevelopmental disorders and psychiatric disorders is substantial. ADHD is highly heritable and multifactorial; multiple genes and non-inherited factors contribute to the disorder. Prenatal and perinatal factors have been implicated as risks, but defi nite causes remain unknown. Most guidelines recommend a stepwise approach to treatment, beginning with non-drug interventions and then moving to pharmacological treatment in those most severely aff ected. Randomised controlled trials show short-term benefi ts of stimulant medication and atomoxetine. Meta-analyses of blinded trials of non-drug treatments have not yet proven the effi cacy of such interventions. Longitudinal studies of ADHD show heightened risk of multiple mental health and social diffi culties as well as premature mortality in adult life. Introduction Attention defi cit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a childhood-onset neurodevelopmental disorder char ac- terised by developmentally inappropriate and impairing inattention, motor hyperactivity, and impulsivity, with diffi culties often continuing into adulthood. In this Seminar, we aim to update and inform early career clinicians on issues relevant to clinical practice and discuss some controversies and misunderstandings. Defi nitions of ADHD ADHD is a diagnostic category in the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 4th edition (DSM-IV)1 and the more recent DSM-5.2 The broadly equivalent diagnosis used predominantly in Europe is hyperkinetic disorder, which is defi ned in WHO’s International Classifi cation of Diseases (10th edition; ICD-10).3 This defi nition captures a more severely aff ected group of individuals, since reported prevalence of hyperkinetic disorder is lower than that of DSM-IV ADHD, even within the same population.4 Key diagnostic criteria are listed in the panel. DSM-5 has longer symptom descriptors than those used in DSM-IV; these descriptors also capture how symptoms can manifest in older adolescents and adults. DSM-IV distinguished between inattentive, hyperactive–impulsive, and combined subtypes of ADHD; a diagnosis of the combined subtype required the presence of symptoms across the domains of inattention and hyperactivity–impulsivity. However, ADHD subtypes are not stable across time,5 and DSM-5 has de-emphasised their distinctions. ICD-10 does not distinguish subtypes; symptoms need to be present from the three separate domains of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity for a diagnosis of hyperkinetic disorder. The diagnosis of ADHD or hyperkinetic disorder also requires the pre.

Seminar in Strategic-3 Management-V3B Ajay K. Garg 604-648-4495 [email protected] Executive Summary An executive summary is a brief section at the beginning of a long report, article, recommendation, or proposal that summarizes the document. It is not background and not an introduction. People who read only the executive summary should get the essence of the document without fine details. The executive summary is concise, typically one to two pages long, and presents the main points in a formal tone. For example, a business plan for an external audience includes financial information and details on the size and scale of a company. Startups seeking funding and investors treat the executive summary as a way to get the reader’s attention by highlighting specific financial requirements and how it impacts the business strategy. Summarize the information you’re presenting in a manner that keeps the reader engaged and motivated to continue reading. Introduction Introduction: The opening statement, paragraph, or section should clearly state the document’s purpose and the content to follow. Deciding on how to use this section comes down to the desired outcome for the reader or audience. They want to immediately find value in the information you present, so the details included in the introduction should grab and hold the reader’s attention. Company Information Company Information: When writing an executive summary for an external audience, include your company name, a description of your mission or purpose, contact information, location, and the size and scale of your operations. In some cases, the summary introduces the founders, investors, and corporate leadership. It might include background information of each that outlines previous industry or startup experience, or historical context on the current state of the company. When used in a presentation or research report, introduce the team presenting or responsible for the report’s findings. Products and Services Products and Services: The executive summary is the place to highlight the problem you solve or the need you fulfill. For a report, this is where you might highlight what you researched and what the reader should know about your findings. For marketing plans or product launch presentations, tell the reader why your service or product is relevant at this particular moment in time. Market Analysis Market Analysis: The executive summary of a business plan might profile the target customer and explain the market opportunity for a product or service. Consider answering questions like: Is there a five year plan for this market? How do you anticipate growing the customer base and improving market share? What stands out from your research about your customers that the reader should know before you summarize the rest of the business? Competition Analysis Competition Analysis: This section should include answers to the following questions: Wh.

Semester: Spring 2020 Course Code: PHYS218 Course Title: Modern Mechanics Experiment #: TAP 3 Experiment Title: VARIABLE g PENDULUM Date: ……………………….. Lab#................................ Section: ………………………. Student Name Student ID Feedback/Comments: Grade: …….. /100 1. Introduction This experiment explores the dependence of the period of a simple pendulum on the acceleration due to gravity. A simple rigid pendulum consists of a 35-cm long lightweight (28 g) aluminum tube with a 150-g mass at the end, mounted on a Rotary Motion Sensor. The pendulum is constrained to oscillate in a plane tilted at an angle from the vertical. This effectively reduces the acceleration due to gravity because the restoring force is decreased. 2. Objectives · Measure the effective length of variable-g pendulum. · Measure the period of a variable-g pendulum for different values of the tilt angle and verify the dependence of the function T versus . · Measure moment of inertia 3. Experimental setup: · Large rod base · 45 cm stainless steel rod · Angle indicator · Rotary motion sensor · Pendulum accessories · Air link PASPORT interface 4. Theory The period of a simple pendulum is given by: (1) Where is the acceleration due to gravity and the approximation becomes exact as the amplitude of the oscillation goes to zero. We will limit to angles less than 10° (0.17 rad) where assuming the equality in equation 1 holds produces an error of a fraction of a percent. Here it is understood that is a constant acceleration that acts in the plane of oscillation. The pendulum we use is actually a physical pendulum (not a point mass) so equation 1 is replaced by the rotational analog: (2) where I is the moment of inertia of the system about the fixed axis, m is the mass of the brass masses (150 g) plus the rod (26 g), and r is the distance from the axis to the center of mass of the rod plus masses (~31 cm). Note that I, m, & r are all constant and that I/mr must have the units of length so we may write: (3) where is the effective length of a simple pendulum that would behave the same as our physical pendulum. We may then re-write equation 2 in the form of equation 1: (4) We will determine by measuring the period when . Then we have: (5) In this experiment, the acceleration will be varied by tipping the plane of oscillation of the pendulum by an angle of θ from the vertical (figure 1). The component of g that is in the plane of oscillation is where: (6) Figure 1: Components of g Note that the component of g perpendicular to the plane of oscillation, , is cancelled by forces in the rod since no motion is allowed in this direction. Putting it all together gives: (7) Finally, combining equation (4) and (6) we have: (8) 5. Pre-lab Preparation Read section 11.2 (page 422).

Semester Paper • The paper must be a minimum eight page (excluding the cover and reference pages) double spaced paper in APA format (consult a model which is on Blackboard above where the videos for this class are located). • This paper should be over a peace and justice topic the student has a genuine interest in (and be related in one or more ways with the organization one has selected). • The student’s identification and initial contact with a peace group or organization must be an important part of this paper around which selected peace study theory, concepts and ideas must revolve (consult Louisville Peace Web on Blackboard above where the videos for this class are located). If a student in this class does not live in or close to the Louisville area, and a peace and justice organization of interest is in their area, it is best that that organization be the student’s focus. • The peace study group or organization with which one will work must be documented in an appendix to the paper, as well as in the references page(s). • Students must be given written email approval for the paper topic by the instructor at least one calendar month prior to the due date. • The student will provide a purpose for the topic, a tentative title, and, two sources with one being a peer review journal source in order for approval to be granted. NOTE: Since the capstone course (PEAC 550) requires a longer paper and hours of work with a peace and justice organization, this assignment in PEAC 325 is designed to make the transition to the capstone class considerably easier. As such this paper should not only focus on an instructor approved topic of genuine interest to the student, but also requires the documentation of the initial stage of identification, (in-person) contact and acceptance for later work with a peace and justice organization in the Louisville area (or the area nearest where the student is located if the student does not reside in the Louisville area). Additionally, the peace and justice organization name, mission and goal(s) must be integrated into the paper in an appropriate place.

Selling to the United States government is a multi-billion dollar market – per year. The size of this market cannot be given a specific monetary value, due to the fact that every year, the U.S. government spends more money than it did in the previous year. Trends are showing that government spending increases every year sometimes by as much as ten to twenty percent. Back in the mid-1980s, selling to the government was roughly a $30 billion per year market (Black 1989). Since then, government spending has increased more than ten fold. This is especially apparent in the defense segment of the government. The United States government will not hesitate to spend whatever it needs to satisfy the wants of its defense, regardless of how much it stands to lose or gain. With a market this big, there is no end to the opportunities that exist for the small business man or woman. This paper will focus on the opportunities that exist for disadvantaged small entrepreneurial firms who would like to sell to the government and touch on what would be required for such a firm to do so. The thought of having the government as a consumer of these small disadvantaged businesses seems like an awkward situation, but it provides for much of the growth of these small firms, both domestic and foreign. [See Definition in Appendix for Small/Disadvantaged/Minority Firm] Department of Defense (DoD) - Brief Information The United States Department of Defense, created in 1949, is the executive department of the government that watches over everything involving or relating to national security and the military (DoD “About DoD” 2007). Its headquarters is the Pentagon, located in Arlington County, Virginia. The DoD has more.

Self-maintenance therapy in Alzheimer’s disease Barbara Romero1,2 and Michael Wenz1 1Alzheimer Therapiezentrum der Neurologischen Klinik Bad Aibling, Germany 2Klinik und Poliklinik für Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie der Technischen Universität München, Germany A short-term residential treatment programme designed to prepare patients with dementia and caregivers for life with a progressive disease was evaluated in a one group pretest–posttest design. The multicomponent programme included: (1) intensive rehabilitation for patients, based on the concept of Self-Maintenance Therapy, and (2) an intervention programme for caregivers. The results showed a consistent improvement in patients’ depression and in other psychopathologica l symptoms, which can be seen as directly beneficial for patients. Following treatment, caregivers also felt less depressed, less mentally fatigued and restless, and more relaxed. Controlled studies are needed to support the preliminary results presented and to address hypotheses about factors responsible for benefits as well as for treatment resistance. The concept of Self-Maintenance Therapy allowed the prediction that experiences that are in accordance with patients’ self-structures and processes support patients’ well-being, reduce psychopathological symptoms, and facilitate social participation. INTRODUCTION Patients with dementia of Alzheimer type (AD) gradually lose their cognitive competence in the course of the disease. The lost and preserved competencies of patients are traditionally described in terms of neuropsychologica l functions and daily activities, such as “spatial orientation” or “naming” abilities. Rehabilitation programmes grounded on this traditional approach aim at facilitation of basic functions, for example, facilitation of memory perfor- mance or attention. However, interventions designed to improve basic Correspondence should be sent to Barbara Romero, Alzheimer Therapiezentrum der Neurologischen Klinik Bad Aibling, Kolbermoorerstr. 72, D-83043 Bad Aibling, Germany.

Neuropsychological research has revealed that the relevance of func- tional training for dementia patients has been limited (Bäckman, 1992; Heiss, Kessler, & Mielke, 1994; McKittrick, Camp, & Black, 1992). We proposed a systemic approach for evaluating patients’ psychosocial resources and for developing rehabilitation programmes (Romero, 1997; Romero & Eder, 1992; Romero & Wenz, 2000). There are two systems that should be stabilised and preserved in a rehabilitation programme for patients with dementia—the self as an intra-individual system, and the social networ.

Self-Determination and Confidentiality: The Ambiguous Nature of Decision-Making in Social Work Practice Catherine Saxon George A. Jacinto Sophia F. Dziegielewski ABSTRACT. This article seeks to further clarify the ambiguous nature of two of social work’s most important values: self-determination and confidentiality. Previous research indicates that many ethical decisions in social work practice are difficult to make; and, many times decisions are made based on the worker’s values and experiences rather than on written ethics, laws, and agency policy. To explore this concept further, an open-ended survey instrument was distributed to 82 social work students after completing the required practice classes.
