The mosquito Aedes albopictus, which was introduced from Asia to North America in the 1980 s, is a public health concern because it can transmit diseases such as dengue fever. This species breeds in small volumes of water, such as those in tree holes (cavities in trees that can hold water) and in objects such as old tires. As it colonized these breeding habitats in North America, A. albopictus encountered thriving populations of several different native species of mosquitoes. Livdahl and Willey (1991) sought to predict the outcome of competition between A. albopictus and the native mosquito A. triseriatus, a predominant member of tree hole communities. To do this, they estimated competition coefficients and carrying capacities for A. albopictus and A. triseriatus mosquito larvae developing in fluid obtained from tree holes and from tires. Their results are shown in the table below: 1. We are going to designate A. triseriatus as species 1 and A. albopictus as species 2. Use the data in the table to plot the zero isoclines for these two species competing in tree hole communities. Predict the equilibrium population density (no. individuals /100ml of fluid) for each species. Describe the likely outcome of competition between these two species in tree hole communities. 2. On a separate graph, plot the zero isoclines for these two species competing in tires. Predict the equilibrium population density (no. individuals /100ml of fluid) for each species. Describe the likely outcome of competition between these two species in tires..

From the perspective of many nonscientists, the two
vertebrate classes comprising reptiles and amphibians,
collectively referred to as the herpetofauna, are inter-
changeable. For example,the Boy Scout merit badge pam-
phlet for herpetology was called simply Reptile Study from
1926 to 1993 (Conant 1972, Gibbons 1993), and major
zoos (e.g., National Zoo in Washington, DC; Zoo Atlanta;
and San Diego Zoo) use only the name “reptile” to refer to
the facility that houses both amphibians and reptiles.
Thus, public attitudes about the need for conservation of
reptiles are probably linked to concern about amphibian
declines and deformities (Alford and Richards 1999, John-
son et al. 1999, Sessions et al. 1999), which have been the
subject of numerous, well-documented scientific studies.
Because amphibians are distributed worldwide, but her-
petologists who document amphibian declines are not, it
is difficult to accurately assess what p ortion of amphibian
populations are experiencing significant declines or have
already disappeared. Furthermore, the means of deter-
mining a species’ conservation status is a rigorous and
time-intensive process, and therefore counts of “officially”
recognized endangered and threatened species are likely to
grossly underestimate the actual number of imperiled
s pecies (Ta ble 1). The worl dwi de amph i bian decl i n e

The organizational context for this change was a large menta.pdf
The organizational context for this change was a large mental health and development services
agency, serving the lifespan (infants to seniors) of the client population. It covered a large urban
and rural region, and multiple office sites. The organization was government-funded by several
health and social service ministries and was facing increasing accountability to provide detailed
quarterly and annual financial and service reports. The organization collaborated with a wide
range of community service partners, such as healthcare, education, justice, child welfare,
employment, and housing. This was a traditional organization with a hierarchical structure and
culture, and well-established policies and procedures (OConnor & Netting, 2009). It was governed
by a board of directors from the professional community. The senior leadership team included an
executive director, a director of clinical services, and a director of operations. The middle
management team consisted of program managers and clinical supervisors for each area
(developmental, childrens, adult and seniors mental health). There were interdisciplinary teams for
each area (20 staff each), with ranging professional capacities: mental health workers (masters
level social workers/therapists), family support workers (child and youth workers), crisis workers
(nurses, social workers), developmental service workers (BA level), consulting psychologists and
psychiatrists. This organization had undergone continuous changes, including a merger, multiple
program expansions, and team/service restructuring. There was a new executive director and
director of service, who were both inexperienced in these positions. These directors introduced a
new mission, vision, values, and strategic directions for the organization, including staff
empowerment and the creation of self-directed teams. An external consultant trained all staff on
having difficult conversations with one another, to increase staffs sense of safety and comfort in
providing feedback to the organization. This initiative was not followed through, and staff feedback
indicated they were feeling dissatisfied and mistrustful of management. Specifically, they
requested improved communication and more involvement in decision-making. Organizational
Issue The executive director and director of service decided to introduce a rapid shift in childrens
services. First, the childrens mental health (CMHS) staff and the developmental services (DS) staff
were integrated under the DS manager, who became the childrens services (CS) manager. This
CS manager was new to the supervisors and staff in CMHS, and this change coincided with the
departure of the long-time CMHS manager. Second, the CMHS team was changed to a self
directed team model. This change was based on a pilot project with DS staff, where a self-directed
team format had been introduced. These changes were undertaken quickly, over a two-month
period. Supervisors roles were changed significantly.

The North American automotive industry has been facing signi.pdf
The North American automotive industry has been facing significant challenges in recent years as
the "Big Three" restructure their operations to respond to increased foreign competition, difficult
economic conditions, and shifting demand as con- sumers migrate toward more fuel-efficient
vehicles. In light ofthese dynamic busi- ness conditions, Ford of Canada relies heavily on
organization and personnel planning processes and tools to ensure that the organization structure,
internal selection practices, and succession management systems are aligned to support the
future needs ofthe firm and the needs ofits employees. With a strategic focus on maintaining a
"People Development Framework," succession planning is a key element ofthe organization and
personnel planning function. The HR team reviews four major areas offocus in order to make
better decisions about the organization's future direction for personnel requirements. In addition to
assessing the impact ofexternal factors such as world events, the changing mar- ketplace, and
workforce demographics, team members regularly review the opera- tional plans in place so that
functional HR objectives and action plans are properly developed and aligned to meet the long-
term goals ofthe business. Ongoing reviews of the organization structures are conducted to
ensure that the delivery of the organization's business priorities is achieved in an efficient, flexible,
and affordable manner by assessing factors such as the size of the organization, the percentage
ofresources deployed at each level and function, and the attraction and retention potential of the
leadership level and salary grade system. Lastly and most impor- tantly, the "people equation" is
evaluated on an ongoing basis to ensure that the organization has the right people in the right
positions at the right time to help the organization achieve success. Personnel development
committees (PDCs) play a central role within Ford of Canada to identify and match employee
capabilities to key positions to ensure appropriate bench strength is in place. Committees exist for
three broad levels of the organization including senior executive, business unit management, and
line management, and PDC composition includes managers from all functional busi- ness areas to
ensure cross-functional opportunities can be efficiently explored and utilized for employee
development. In conjunction with department managers, PDC members are charged with the
responsibility of identifying employees who demonstrate outstanding leadership abilities, strong
and continual learning, and superior job performance, and then matching employees to key
positions. PDCs assess candidate bench strength for particular key positions or job families using
a visual aid called a "T" chart. Employees immediately qualified are plotted on the horizontal
section of the "T" while employees with future potential who require further development are
identified in rank order in the vertical region o.

internal selection practices, and succession management systems are aligned to support the
future needs ofthe firm and the needs ofits employees. With a strategic focus on maintaining a
"People Development Framework," succession planning is a key element ofthe organization and
personnel planning function. The HR team reviews four major areas offocus in order to make
better decisions about the organization's future direction for personnel requirements. In addition to
assessing the impact ofexternal factors such as world events, the changing mar- ketplace, and
workforce demographics, team members regularly review the opera- tional plans in place so that
functional HR objectives and action plans are properly developed and aligned to meet the long-
term goals ofthe business. Ongoing reviews of the organization structures are conducted to
ensure that the delivery of the organization's business priorities is achieved in an efficient, flexible,
and affordable manner by assessing factors such as the size of the organization, the percentage
ofresources deployed at each level and function, and the attraction and retention potential of the
leadership level and salary grade system. Lastly and most impor- tantly, the "people equation" is
evaluated on an ongoing basis to ensure that the organization has the right people in the right
positions at the right time to help the organization achieve success. Personnel development
committees (PDCs) play a central role within Ford of Canada to identify and match employee
capabilities to key positions to ensure appropriate bench strength is in place. Committees exist for
three broad levels of the organization including senior executive, business unit management, and
line management, and PDC composition includes managers from all functional busi- ness areas to
ensure cross-functional opportunities can be efficiently explored and utilized for employee
development. In conjunction with department managers, PDC members are charged with the
responsibility of identifying employees who demonstrate outstanding leadership abilities, strong
and continual learning, and superior job performance, and then matching employees to key
positions. PDCs assess candidate bench strength for particular key positions or job families using
a visual aid called a "T" chart. Employees immediately qualified are plotted on the horizontal
section of the "T" while employees with future potential who require further development are
identified in rank order in the vertical region o.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic Imperative
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...
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

The mosquito Aedes albopictus which was introduced from Asi.pdf
- 1. The mosquito Aedes albopictus, which was introduced from Asia to North America in the 1980 s, is a public health concern because it can transmit diseases such as dengue fever. This species breeds in small volumes of water, such as those in tree holes (cavities in trees that can hold water) and in objects such as old tires. As it colonized these breeding habitats in North America, A. albopictus encountered thriving populations of several different native species of mosquitoes. Livdahl and Willey (1991) sought to predict the outcome of competition between A. albopictus and the native mosquito A. triseriatus, a predominant member of tree hole communities. To do this, they estimated competition coefficients and carrying capacities for A. albopictus and A. triseriatus mosquito larvae developing in fluid obtained from tree holes and from tires. Their results are shown in the table below: 1. We are going to designate A. triseriatus as species 1 and A. albopictus as species 2. Use the data in the table to plot the zero isoclines for these two species competing in tree hole communities. Predict the equilibrium population density (no. individuals /100ml of fluid) for each species. Describe the likely outcome of competition between these two species in tree hole communities. 2. On a separate graph, plot the zero isoclines for these two species competing in tires. Predict the equilibrium population density (no. individuals /100ml of fluid) for each species. Describe the likely outcome of competition between these two species in tires.
