Week 4
Will Fence owns a 70-acre large timber and Christmas tree farm. The Christmas farm gets busy in August and September when Will identifies and flags the trees suitable for Christmas season. Starting in October, the flagged trees will be cut, baled, and trucked to the storage yard where they will stay until shipped. The storage yard is situated in an area that offers shade and protection from the wind to maintain the freshness of the tree. The trees are stacked with the tops locked together to keep the sun and wind away from them.
Will has just purchased an additional 40 acres and will need to expand his storage yard by 40,000 square feet. The budget for this expansion is $55,000. Will has hired your team to design a process to contract resources to expand the storage yard.
Cover the following as requested by Will:
· Description of the contract resource procurement process (from start to closure).
· Explanation of how the contract resources procurement process that was described will assist Will in negotiating the best purchase.
· Explanation to Will why the team believes the process is efficient and achieves the results desired.
· Identification of any risks associated with procuring these resources and explanation of the role of risk management in this process.
· Explanation of how the process may be improved upon.
· Other recommendations the team may have for Will to consider.
Graphing Supply and Demand
Supply and demand are so important for both consumers and producers
because both of these concepts work together to determine the overall price
of an item, as well as the total quantity sold in a market. To see how this
works, we can show both on a graph such as you see in the header image
above.
Remember that demand is a relationship between price and the quantity that
consumers are willing and able to pay. This is an inverse, or negative,
relationship, in which the variable's price and quantity move in opposite
directions. This would be depicted as a downward sloping curve on a graph.
Similarly, supply is a relationship between the price of an item and the
quantity that producers are willing to supply. This is a direct, or positive,
relationship, in which the variable's price and quantity move in the same
direction. This would be depicted as an u.

Write an essay of about 750 to 1000 words, or 3 to 4 pages (double-
spaced), in response to the ALL the prompts below (4 Paragraphs) .
The relevant texts for Essay are the assigned:
* Sorensen, A Brief History of the Paradox, pp. 184- 185 on McTaggart
and pp. 173-176 on Augustine’s theory of time as subjective.
* David Lewis, “The Paradoxes of Time Travel”.
— Do not use any other outside sources! This is not a report on what
others have written about McTaggart or Lewis or time travel. This is
an exercise in thinking-by-writing!
Consider our discussions of, on one hand, McTaggart’s seemingly
paradoxical argument that time is “unreal” and, on the other hand,
Lewis’ account of the seemingly paradoxical possibility of time travel.
Write an essay in which you explore the potential “paradoxes” of time
we considered in McTaggart’s argument that “time is unreal” and in
Lewis’ account of time travel as “possible” in a “strange” possible world
(unlike our own).
Specifically, structure your narrative in response to the following
themes.
Paragraph 1: Explain the distinction between the “A series” and the “B
series” of time, as McTaggart introduced these terms. Why did
McTaggart think A time is more fundamental than B time? Why did he
think A time is impossible?
Paragraph 2: Explain Lewis’ distinction between “external time” and
“personal time”. How does Lewis’ distinction compare with
McTaggart’s distinction above?
Paragraph 3: Explain how, for Lewis, time travel is possible, even if
strange. What is a “person”, for Lewis? What then is “personal
identity”? How would the structure of a person over time, as Lewis
characterizes this form of personal identity, entail that a person could
travel either forward into the future or back into the past and encounter
“himself”/”herself”/”theirself” in a past or a future time?
Paragraph 4: Briefly: Do you find time travel, per Lewis, intuitively
possible? You may, if you like, consider the popular film “Back to the
Future” (1986), or you may consider how our imagination in science
fiction scenarios may address the possibility of time travel.

Instructor: ___________ Section: ___
MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS
One of the tenets of cell theory is that all cells come from pre-existing cells. All individual
organisms begins with one cell, and yet in multicellular organisms the number of cells in the
adult may be in the trillions. This requires cells to repeatedly divide during the life of an
organism.
The average adult human body is made up of about 37 trillion cells. Of these, approximately 50
billion are fat cells and 2 billion are heart muscle cells. By the time you finish reading this
sentence, 50 million of your cells will have died and been replaced by others. Human cells are
estimated to divide nearly 2 trillion times every day. Amazingly, humans contain at least 10
times as many bacteria cells as human cells. The 100 trillion bacterial cells are much smaller
than human cells and have a faster generation time.
Mitosis and meiosis are two processes that produce new cells through cell division, which occurs
as a part of the cell cycle. The new “daughter” cells produced by these processes are quite
different because they have different purposes. These differences occur because the processes
have several key differences as outlined in the video lecture. You will be doing several lab
activities examining mitosis and meiosis and what can happen if problems occur during these
cell division processes.
Why are we doing this lab?
1. To gain a better understanding of the mitotic and meiotic processes of cell division that
occur in humans and all other animals.
2. To examine how issues in mitosis and meiosis can lead to diseases and disorders in
humans.

Background: Phases of mitosis
For each phase, draw and label:
a. Chromatin or chromosomes
b. Centrosomes
c. Microtubules/spindle
d. Cell membrane

Activity 1: Mitosis under the microscope
1. Use Google images of mitosis (Google “mitosis of onion root tip”) to identify cells in
interphase and all phases of mitosis.
Cells in…Interphase will have chromatin, not distinct chromosomes
Prophase will have distinctly visible chromosomes
Metaphase will have chromosomes lined up along the equator of the cell
Anaphase will have chromosomes separating at the centromeres
Telophase will have chromosomes decondensing into chromatin and a .

Over 306 million active Twitter users send 500 million Tweets daily *Hello, my name it Tony Student, I currently work as an Information Security Manager at a financial services firm in the Washington DC Metro area and am responsible for securing a multi-trillion dollar financial platform. Part of my responsibilities is to provide training and awareness on topics that deal with Information Security including the use of Social Media in the Workplace.
Social media is a powerful platform which helps connect people. According to Charlene Li, author of Groundswell, “Twitter is not a technology, it’s a conversation – and it’s happening with or without you.”
Consider the fact that every minute of every day roughly 5,800 tweets are posted to the Twitterverse. This amounts to over 500 million tweets daily! That statistic definitely echoes the sentiment of Charlene Li and is an important thing to consider when it comes to business. Social media can become a positive part of promoting a company's brand and allows a business to provide supreme customer service.3AgendaSocial Media Primer

Research question
Human factors for changes in natural geology
Ivan Tai
Humans as major geological and geomorphological agents in the Anthropocene: the significance of artificial ground in Great Britain
Since the first prehistoric people started to dig for stone to make implements, rather than pick up loose material, humans have modified the landscape through excavation of rock and soil, generation of waste and creation of artificial ground. In Great Britain over the past 200 years, people have excavated, moved and built up the equivalent of at least six times the volume of Ben Nevis.

Graphing Supply and Demand
Supply and demand are so important for both consumers and producers
because both of these concepts work together to determine the overall price
of an item, as well as the total quantity sold in a market. To see how this
works, we can show both on a graph such as you see in the header image
above.
Remember that demand is a relationship between price and the quantity that
consumers are willing and able to pay. This is an inverse, or negative,
relationship, in which the variable's price and quantity move in opposite
directions. This would be depicted as a downward sloping curve on a graph.
Similarly, supply is a relationship between the price of an item and the
quantity that producers are willing to supply. This is a direct, or positive,
relationship, in which the variable's price and quantity move in the same
direction. This would be depicted as an u.

Write an essay of about 750 to 1000 words, or 3 to 4 pages (double-
spaced), in response to the ALL the prompts below (4 Paragraphs) .
The relevant texts for Essay are the assigned:
* Sorensen, A Brief History of the Paradox, pp. 184- 185 on McTaggart
and pp. 173-176 on Augustine’s theory of time as subjective.
* David Lewis, “The Paradoxes of Time Travel”.
— Do not use any other outside sources! This is not a report on what
others have written about McTaggart or Lewis or time travel. This is
an exercise in thinking-by-writing!
Consider our discussions of, on one hand, McTaggart’s seemingly
paradoxical argument that time is “unreal” and, on the other hand,
Lewis’ account of the seemingly paradoxical possibility of time travel.
Write an essay in which you explore the potential “paradoxes” of time
we considered in McTaggart’s argument that “time is unreal” and in
Lewis’ account of time travel as “possible” in a “strange” possible world
(unlike our own).
Specifically, structure your narrative in response to the following
themes.
Paragraph 1: Explain the distinction between the “A series” and the “B
series” of time, as McTaggart introduced these terms. Why did
McTaggart think A time is more fundamental than B time? Why did he
think A time is impossible?
Paragraph 2: Explain Lewis’ distinction between “external time” and
“personal time”. How does Lewis’ distinction compare with
McTaggart’s distinction above?
Paragraph 3: Explain how, for Lewis, time travel is possible, even if
strange. What is a “person”, for Lewis? What then is “personal
identity”? How would the structure of a person over time, as Lewis
characterizes this form of personal identity, entail that a person could
travel either forward into the future or back into the past and encounter
“himself”/”herself”/”theirself” in a past or a future time?
Paragraph 4: Briefly: Do you find time travel, per Lewis, intuitively
possible? You may, if you like, consider the popular film “Back to the
Future” (1986), or you may consider how our imagination in science
fiction scenarios may address the possibility of time travel.

MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS
One of the tenets of cell theory is that all cells come from pre-existing cells. All individual
organisms begins with one cell, and yet in multicellular organisms the number of cells in the
adult may be in the trillions. This requires cells to repeatedly divide during the life of an
organism.
The average adult human body is made up of about 37 trillion cells. Of these, approximately 50
billion are fat cells and 2 billion are heart muscle cells. By the time you finish reading this
sentence, 50 million of your cells will have died and been replaced by others. Human cells are
estimated to divide nearly 2 trillion times every day. Amazingly, humans contain at least 10
times as many bacteria cells as human cells. The 100 trillion bacterial cells are much smaller
than human cells and have a faster generation time.
Mitosis and meiosis are two processes that produce new cells through cell division, which occurs
as a part of the cell cycle. The new “daughter” cells produced by these processes are quite
different because they have different purposes. These differences occur because the processes
have several key differences as outlined in the video lecture. You will be doing several lab
activities examining mitosis and meiosis and what can happen if problems occur during these
cell division processes.
Why are we doing this lab?
1. To gain a better understanding of the mitotic and meiotic processes of cell division that
occur in humans and all other animals.
2. To examine how issues in mitosis and meiosis can lead to diseases and disorders in
humans.

Part of my responsibilities is to provide training and awareness on topics that deal with Information Security including the use of Social Media in the Workplace.
Social media is a powerful platform which helps connect people. According to Charlene Li, author of Groundswell, “Twitter is not a technology, it’s a conversation – and it’s happening with or without you.”
Consider the fact that every minute of every day roughly 5,800 tweets are posted to the Twitterverse. This amounts to over 500 million tweets daily! That statistic definitely echoes the sentiment of Charlene Li and is an important thing to consider when it comes to business. Social media can become a positive part of promoting a company's brand and allows a business to provide supreme customer service.3AgendaSocial Media Primer

Research question
Human factors for changes in natural geology
Ivan Tai
Humans as major geological and geomorphological agents in the Anthropocene: the significance of artificial ground in Great Britain
Since the first prehistoric people started to dig for stone to make implements, rather than pick up loose material, humans have modified the landscape through excavation of rock and soil, generation of waste and creation of artificial ground. In Great Britain over the past 200 years, people have excavated, moved and built up the equivalent of at least six times the volume of Ben Nevis.

Re: Employment Law Compliance Plan
Mr. Smith:
With reference to the email sent to Nov.1, these are and will be the measures to take regarding your request
With the purpose of improving the operation of the company, it is necessary to review and update the policies of the company, as well as everything related to labor laws. This will provide the necessary means to comply with what is established by law and in turn with the company staff. If everything related to these issues is kept up to date, errors are less likely to be made when corrective measures are taken, just as it is of the utmost importance that all the members of the directive know in depth the laws that protect the workforce in all aspects. It is necessary to carry out the appropriate training as soon as possible. Remember that as a team, meeting these requirements is completely necessary.

Reflection
The module began with assessing the current teaching approach deployed by
teachers in class. As such, I noted that teachers are using theory for grading the
students instead of evaluating their practical skills. The pre-assessment given at the
inception of this module showed that only 18% of the 26 students in my
manufacturing class scored at the proficiency level while 70% of the students score
at a lower level between 59 percent and Zero. Based on this data, I found it
necessary to assess my students using Portfolio Assessment rubrics. This assessment
has been used before solely focused on the theoretical assumptions taught in class
while neglecting the practical skills. In this regard, the portfolio needs to be
changed to incorporate the practical skills. Thus, the portfolio will be structured to
integrate practical assessment for grading the students’ performance. Besides, the
evaluation approach has to be changed from a system that solely assesses the
student’s knowledge to one that can evaluate the student’s competence and abilities.
The portfolio assessment is a collection of purposeful documents that gives the
outlay on how tasks are completed and competency amongst the learners is
developed. Interest in using portfolio assessment in the class is developed as part of
moving away from the traditional approach used by instructors on grading based on
theory rather than ascertaining the student’s practical skills. In the past, the students
have been assessed through the class-based teaching practice to prove that they
had acquired the skills relayed by the instructor. It is through this that I felt the
teaching approach was not sufficient to enable the learners to grasp the required
competence and skills. To solve the issue of enhancing teaching and learning, I think
it is important for the teachers to practice the assessment through the use of a
portfolio with a different module, practicum. The integration of practicum module for
assessing the students is important as this enables the learner to acquire specific
techniques that are imperative for future success. Additionally, there are some
techniques that can be learned through actual experience. While theoretical
teaching might have been ideal in the past, the students should be assessed based
on their practical skills as it enhances a deeper understanding of concepts through
personal experience.
Notably, when I came in, the students had a problem with articulating what they
know with.

Laboratory Experiment:
Undrained triaxial compression test (without pore water pressure measurement) BS
1377: Part 7: 1990.
Object of Experiment:
To determine the undrained shear strength of a soil using the triaxial compression test.
Theory/Apparatus:
The apparatus consists of a cell, which is filled with water under pressure; the
specimen is loaded vertically, via a proving ring to measure load.
Triaxial Cell
The vertical load on the specimen is increased until failure occurs, the vertical strain
being recorded at the same time using a dial gauge. The test is repeated on different
specimens from the same soil, using different values of cell pressure.
254
Stresses on specimen in Triaxial Cell
Cell Pressure Deviator Stress =P/A 1=3+P/A
1 = major principal stress
3 = minor principal stress
Therefore, P/A = (1-3) =Deviator stress
The deviator stress is the load on the specimen, P, divided by the cross sectional area
of the specimen. However, as the sample is compressed during the test, the cross
sectional area will increase. Therefore, in calculating the deviator stress an allowance
for the change in area must be considered.
For the calculation of deviator stress, it is assumed that the volume of the specimen
remains constant and that the sample will deform as a cylinder, e.g.

Method:
1. Extrude the sample from the tube and trim to size - soil sample of 38mm
diameter and 76mm long.
2. Sleeve the sample with the rubber membrane.
3. Put the sample on the pedestal at the bottom of the cell and seal with the
rubber ring. Place the loading cap on top of the sample and seal with rubber
ring, before securing top drainage tube.
4. Mount the cell over the sample and fill as per the
Flooding Triaxial Cell checklist.
5. Set-up the test with the Clisp Studio assistant, and complete the
Pressurising Triaxial Cell checklist before running the test stages.

Case Study:
Edward Bernays
Public Relations Pioneer
Who was Edward Bernays?
Born in Vienna in 1891, distant nephew of Sigmund Freud
His approach to public relations was to use symbols and the mass media to engineer consent
He claimed the public was essentially reactive
But the rise of the middle class meant that there was no longer the ruling class and the uneducated masses who followed dumbly . . .
What did he believe?
This emerging new social strata needed to be controlled and led.
He believed in a completely hierarchical view of society: the intelligent few have been charged with the responsibility of contemplating and influencing the tide of history and of dealing with the masses.
How did he deal with the masses?
Used sociology, psychology and economics and applied them to the messages and methods
He saw the PR expert as an applied social scientist educated to use an understanding of these three fields to influence and direct public attitudes (in a democratic society!)
How did he deal with the masses?
“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in a democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.”
Edward Bernays
What is PR?
“Of course, you know, we don’t deal in images, we deal in reality.”
For Bernays, PR was about creating and projecting credible renditions of reality itself.
He called news any overt act which stands out of the routine.
A PR expert carries out an overt act to interrupt the routine to bring out a response.
PR is the science of creating circumstances which do not appear to be staged.
Edward Bernays
“The public relations counsel sometimes uses current stereotypes, sometimes combats them and sometimes created new ones. In using them, he very often brings to the public a stereotype they already know, to which he adds new ideas, this fortifies his own and gives a greater carrying power.”
Edward Bernays
He fully believed that to manipulate the public, one must know its public as well as know who influences that public
PR experts, as molders of public opinion, must be ongoing monitors of social attitudes.
Edward Bernays
Part of this influencing involved using the implied authority, i.e. the social power of certain groups or leaders
E.g. “Damaged Goods” – he promoted a play about syphillis by securing members of high society and doctors as advocates
To encourage people to eat more bacon, he launched a campaign in which a doctor promoted the benefits of a hearty breakfast
Lucky Strikes
In 1929, Bernays was hired by the tobacco company that made Lucky S.

Sheet1Instructions: Review each item below and determine your current level of proficiency and the importance the item has for your career success. Use a scale of 1 to 7 (where 1 is low, and 7 is high). See Part 1, Item 1 below for an example, and then overwrite the sample ratings with your own ratings for this item. The gap for each item will be automatically calculated.
Interpreting your results: In the example, the gap is -5. The large negative number indicates an item where current proficiency is low and career importance is high—so, this might be an item to address. A gap represented by a large positive number (e.g., 5) indicates that current proficiency is relatively high and career importance is relatively low. In this event, you would not want to pick the item as one to address.

Question1
A cross-sectional study was conducted to examine the effect of gestational age on systolic blood pressure (SBP) of low birth weight babies who weigh less than 1500 gms. Data was collected on 60 such babies and posted on Moodle in the Excel file Assign2Q1.xls. The dataset contains the following variables.
ID: Participant ID number
sbp = Systolic blood pressure (mmHg)
gestage = gestational age in weeks
a) What are the study factor and the outcome factor?
b) To explore the association, calculate the correlation coefficient and interpret it?
c) Conduct a simple linear regression using Stata and report the Stata output. What are the assumptions for a linear regression? Examine the assumptions with the support of relevant graphs and statistics.
d) Write down the regression equation and interpret the regression coefficients and their 95% confidence interval from part c.
e) What is the expected systolic blood pressure of a newborn whose gestational age is 24 weeks? Show your workings.

Question2
A case-control study was planned to investigate whether there was an association between a mother being diagnosed with toxaemia (A condition in pregnancy, also known as pre-eclampsia characterized by abrupt hypertension, albuminuria and oedema) and the baby being born with low birth weight. The research team wished to recruit the cases and controls from antenatal clinics. Based on a pilot study, the team expected that the odds ratio of the association in question would be 2.5 using a two-sided significance test and the prevalence of toxaemia among women giving birth to a normal weight baby is 6%.
a) If equal number of cases and controls could be recruited in this study, how many in each group would be required to achieve 90% power at 5% level of significance? Include a screenshot of your Stata command and output with your response.
b) One of the researchers thought that prevalence of toxaemia among the controls would be 4%.
i. What effect will this have on the required sample size to detect an OR of 2.5 with the same power and level of significance as in part a)?
ii. If the prevalence of toxaemia in the control group is uncertain, would it be preferable to assume that 4% or 6% of the control mothers have the condition? Describe your reason.
c) A similar study on the same source population found that approximately 80% of the mothers approached for the study would agree to participate. From this information, how many mothers of newborn will need to be approached to achieve the sample size that you est.

With reference to the email sent to Nov.1, these are and will be the measures to take regarding your request
With the purpose of improving the operation of the company, it is necessary to review and update the policies of the company, as well as everything related to labor laws. This will provide the necessary means to comply with what is established by law and in turn with the company staff. If everything related to these issues is kept up to date, errors are less likely to be made when corrective measures are taken, just as it is of the utmost importance that all the members of the directive know in depth the laws that protect the workforce in all aspects. It is necessary to carry out the appropriate training as soon as possible. Remember that as a team, meeting these requirements is completely necessary.

Reflection
The module began with assessing the current teaching approach deployed by
teachers in class. As such, I noted that teachers are using theory for grading the
students instead of evaluating their practical skills. The pre-assessment given at the
inception of this module showed that only 18% of the 26 students in my
manufacturing class scored at the proficiency level while 70% of the students score
at a lower level between 59 percent and Zero. Based on this data, I found it
necessary to assess my students using Portfolio Assessment rubrics. This assessment
has been used before solely focused on the theoretical assumptions taught in class
while neglecting the practical skills. In this regard, the portfolio needs to be
changed to incorporate the practical skills. Thus, the portfolio will be structured to
integrate practical assessment for grading the students’ performance. Besides, the
evaluation approach has to be changed from a system that solely assesses the
student’s knowledge to one that can evaluate the student’s competence and abilities.
The portfolio assessment is a collection of purposeful documents that gives the
outlay on how tasks are completed and competency amongst the learners is
developed. Interest in using portfolio assessment in the class is developed as part of
moving away from the traditional approach used by instructors on grading based on
theory rather than ascertaining the student’s practical skills. In the past, the students
have been assessed through the class-based teaching practice to prove that they
had acquired the skills relayed by the instructor. It is through this that I felt the
teaching approach was not sufficient to enable the learners to grasp the required
competence and skills. To solve the issue of enhancing teaching and learning, I think
it is important for the teachers to practice the assessment through the use of a
portfolio with a different module, practicum. The integration of practicum module for
assessing the students is important as this enables the learner to acquire specific
techniques that are imperative for future success. Additionally, there are some
techniques that can be learned through actual experience. While theoretical
teaching might have been ideal in the past, the students should be assessed based
on their practical skills as it enhances a deeper understanding of concepts through
personal experience.
Notably, when I came in, the students had a problem with articulating what they
know with.

Laboratory Experiment:
Undrained triaxial compression test (without pore water pressure measurement) BS
1377: Part 7: 1990.
Object of Experiment:
To determine the undrained shear strength of a soil using the triaxial compression test.
Theory/Apparatus:
The apparatus consists of a cell, which is filled with water under pressure; the
specimen is loaded vertically, via a proving ring to measure load.
Triaxial Cell
The vertical load on the specimen is increased until failure occurs, the vertical strain
being recorded at the same time using a dial gauge. The test is repeated on different
specimens from the same soil, using different values of cell pressure.
254
Stresses on specimen in Triaxial Cell
Cell Pressure Deviator Stress =P/A 1=3+P/A
1 = major principal stress
3 = minor principal stress
Therefore, P/A = (1-3) =Deviator stress
The deviator stress is the load on the specimen, P, divided by the cross sectional area
of the specimen. However, as the sample is compressed during the test, the cross
sectional area will increase. Therefore, in calculating the deviator stress an allowance
for the change in area must be considered.
For the calculation of deviator stress, it is assumed that the volume of the specimen
remains constant and that the sample will deform as a cylinder, e.g.

Method:
1. Extrude the sample from the tube and trim to size - soil sample of 38mm
diameter and 76mm long.
2. Sleeve the sample with the rubber membrane.
3. Put the sample on the pedestal at the bottom of the cell and seal with the
rubber ring. Place the loading cap on top of the sample and seal with rubber
ring, before securing top drainage tube.
4. Mount the cell over the sample and fill as per the
Flooding Triaxial Cell checklist.
5. Set-up the test with the Clisp Studio assistant, and complete the
Pressurising Triaxial Cell checklist before running the test stages.
6. When test stages are complete, end the test via Clip Studio and complete the
Draining Triaxial Cell checklist.

Case Study:
Edward Bernays
Public Relations Pioneer
Who was Edward Bernays?
Born in Vienna in 1891, distant nephew of Sigmund Freud
His approach to public relations was to use symbols and the mass media to engineer consent
He claimed the public was essentially reactive
But the rise of the middle class meant that there was no longer the ruling class and the uneducated masses who followed dumbly . . .
What did he believe?
This emerging new social strata needed to be controlled and led.
He believed in a completely hierarchical view of society: the intelligent few have been charged with the responsibility of contemplating and influencing the tide of history and of dealing with the masses.
How did he deal with the masses?
Used sociology, psychology and economics and applied them to the messages and methods
He saw the PR expert as an applied social scientist educated to use an understanding of these three fields to influence and direct public attitudes (in a democratic society!)
How did he deal with the masses?
“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in a democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.”
Edward Bernays
What is PR?
“Of course, you know, we don’t deal in images, we deal in reality.”
For Bernays, PR was about creating and projecting credible renditions of reality itself.
He called news any overt act which stands out of the routine.
A PR expert carries out an overt act to interrupt the routine to bring out a response.
PR is the science of creating circumstances which do not appear to be staged.
Edward Bernays
“The public relations counsel sometimes uses current stereotypes, sometimes combats them and sometimes created new ones. In using them, he very often brings to the public a stereotype they already know, to which he adds new ideas, this fortifies his own and gives a greater carrying power.”
Edward Bernays
He fully believed that to manipulate the public, one must know its public as well as know who influences that public
PR experts, as molders of public opinion, must be ongoing monitors of social attitudes.
Edward Bernays
Part of this influencing involved using the implied authority, i.e. the social power of certain groups or leaders
E.g. “Damaged Goods” – he promoted a play about syphillis by securing members of high society and doctors as advocates
To encourage people to eat more bacon, he launched a campaign in which a doctor promoted the benefits of a hearty breakfast
Lucky Strikes
In 1929, Bernays was hired by the tobacco company that made Lucky S.
Sheet1Instructions Review each item below and determine your curr.docxbjohn46
Sheet1Instructions: Review each item below and determine your current level of proficiency and the importance the item has for your career success. Use a scale of 1 to 7 (where 1 is low, and 7 is high). See Part 1, Item 1 below for an example, and then overwrite the sample ratings with your own ratings for this item. The gap for each item will be automatically calculated.
Interpreting your results: In the example, the gap is -5. The large negative number indicates an item where current proficiency is low and career importance is high—so, this might be an item to address. A gap represented by a large positive number (e.g., 5) indicates that current proficiency is relatively high and career importance is relatively low. In this event, you would not want to pick the item as one to address.

Question1
A cross-sectional study was conducted to examine the effect of gestational age on systolic blood pressure (SBP) of low birth weight babies who weigh less than 1500 gms. Data was collected on 60 such babies and posted on Moodle in the Excel file Assign2Q1.xls. The dataset contains the following variables.
ID: Participant ID number
sbp = Systolic blood pressure (mmHg)
gestage = gestational age in weeks
a) What are the study factor and the outcome factor?
b) To explore the association, calculate the correlation coefficient and interpret it?
c) Conduct a simple linear regression using Stata and report the Stata output. What are the assumptions for a linear regression? Examine the assumptions with the support of relevant graphs and statistics.
d) Write down the regression equation and interpret the regression coefficients and their 95% confidence interval from part c.
e) What is the expected systolic blood pressure of a newborn whose gestational age is 24 weeks? Show your workings.

Question2
A case-control study was planned to investigate whether there was an association between a mother being diagnosed with toxaemia (A condition in pregnancy, also known as pre-eclampsia characterized by abrupt hypertension, albuminuria and oedema) and the baby being born with low birth weight. The research team wished to recruit the cases and controls from antenatal clinics. Based on a pilot study, the team expected that the odds ratio of the association in question would be 2.5 using a two-sided significance test and the prevalence of toxaemia among women giving birth to a normal weight baby is 6%.
a) If equal number of cases and controls could be recruited in this study, how many in each group would be required to achieve 90% power at 5% level of significance? Include a screenshot of your Stata command and output with your response.
b) One of the researchers thought that prevalence of toxaemia among the controls would be 4%.
i. What effect will this have on the required sample size to detect an OR of 2.5 with the same power and level of significance as in part a)?
ii. If the prevalence of toxaemia in the control group is uncertain, would it be preferable to assume that 4% or 6% of the control mothers have the condition? Describe your reason.
c) A similar study on the same source population found that approximately 80% of the mothers approached for the study would agree to participate. From this information, how many mothers of newborn will need to be approached to achieve the sample size that you est.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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 Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
