Many people believe that, because the emergence of life was very impr.pdf
Many people believe that, because the emergence of life was very improbable, it was not due to
chance. Why does White think that this is a mistake? And what, then, is his basis for thinking
that the emergence of life was not due to chance?
Solution
The evolution of diffrent species is not by chance and it is a mistake to think that the new
generation of life gets created by reproduction between various species by chance. There are
various theories through which evolution takes place for example----1)natural selection-- the
male and female of a particular species of animals, birds, insects recognise each other and
reproduce with each other only within their own species which live with each other thus the
theory of natural selection becomes effective. There is communication, understanding between
same species and further generation is created acordingly. The same genes are transferred to the
generation leding to the exixtence of same genotypic and phenotypic traits.
2) random selection--it takes place by chance between various species due to mutations in the
genome leading to the creation of new recombinations of genes with new phenotypic and
genotypic traits.
3)artificial selection- it is the reproduction between similar but different species in a particular
enviornment together with particular conditions leading to the development of new generation of
species.
4)genetic drift/gene flow/migration--this happens when various similar looking species migrate
to small islands and reproduce with similar looking but not same species leading to generation of
new species example darwin finches in galapagos islands.
5) inbreeding depression--this is due to the development of new species between same
generations leading to the expression of recessive genes and less expressive genes.
6)hybrid vigour or heterosis--this leads to the development of new species with recombination of
traits and expressive of dominant and more expressive genes according to the environment.
7)The level of heterozygosity ,hardy-weinberg equilibrium is calculated and probabilities of
generation of new species is calculated in different generations according to the cross of the new
species.
The judaism and christianity religion also develops various theories of evolution based on the
dominant, recessive and intermediate genes formed after cross and breeding between two similar
looking but different species. Thus evolution does not occur by chance.
In plants also various genes are expressed after recombination leading to the expression of
dominant,recessive and mixed characters with superior traits, mixed traits and inferior traits
based on the genetic background of the species and environmental factors like water-stress,
hormonal-stress, salt stress, signaling stress leading to cross and fertilization betweem anther and
ovary and thus the develpment of new intermediate species..

Issued a $4000 Note Receivable for 3 months 10% interest. Calculate monthly interest.
Solution
Monthly interest is the interest earned on the note receivable as per the agreed conditions. The
formula of monthly interest is,
principal amount * interest rate *( given months÷12)
=$4000 × (10/100) × (3/12)
=$100
Therefore, the monthly interest = $100.
IPv4 provided the primary addressing scheme in TCPIP. However after.pdf
IPv4 provided the primary addressing scheme in TCP/IP. However after many years its
limitations begin to catch up with networking implementations. What are the main limitations
that you are familiar with from reading the suggested chapters?
Solution
Internet protocol version4 also called as an IPV4 defined by Internet Engineering Task
Force(IETF) in the year 1981.IPV4 uses a 32 bit address space. Initial design of IPv4 did not
predict the growth of internet and this created many issues, which proved IPv4 need to be
changed. The main limitations of IPv4 are as follows.
1.Address configuration related issues:In these days Networks and also internet is expanding and
many new computers and devices are using IP. The configuration of IP addresses (Either static or
dynamic) should be made simple.
2.Scarcity of IPv4 Addresses:As we know that IPV4 uses a 32 bit address space and furthur these
are again classfied as five classes which are CLASS-A,CLASS-B,CLASS-C,CLASS-D,CLASS-
E.where the classes D and E are used for research and development and reserved for future
use.The 32-bit address space allows for 4,294,967,296 IPv4 addresses.But the previous and
current IPv4 address allocation practices limit the number of available public IPv4 addresses.
Many addresses which are allocated to many companies were not used and this created scarcity
of IPv4 addresses.
For this scarcity Reason many Many organistion uses the Network Address Translation(NAT) to
map multiple private IPv4 addresses to a single public IPv4 address. But the NAT has many
limitations they are as follows.
NAT (Network Address Translation) do not support network layer security standards and it do
not support the mapping of all upper layer protocols. NAT can also create network problems
when two organizations which use same private IPv4 address ranges communicate. More
servers, workstations and devices which are connected to the internet demand the need for more
addresses and the current statistics prove that public IPv4 address space will be depleted soon.
The scarcity of IPv4 address is a major limitation of IPv4 addressing system.
3.Security Related Issues: Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is a protocol suit that enables
network security by protecting the data being sent from being viewed or modified. IPSec
provides security for IPv4 packets, but Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is not built-in and
optional. Many IPSecimplementations are having their own rules.
4. Quality of service (QoS): The QOS relies in on 8 bits of the Type Of Service(TOS) and
PayLoad in IPV4.but the IPV4 TOS has limited functionality and payload identification is not
possible when an data gram packet is encrypted.
Inorder to overcome these Limitations ipv6 came into Figure..

I am trying to create a program that will create Objects of differen.pdf
I am trying to create a program that will create Objects of different array sizes.
The main program inputs a charactor and two coordinates. It then attempts to identify what sort
of object it needs to return. If it is an O, it will create an array of size one with the number 1 in it.
I Cannot change main in any way. I don\'t know how to create an array and return it as t1. can
someome help me?
Thanks

if(char==\'O\'){
O array = new O[1];
return O;
} //or do I need a pointer here?
}
Solution
Yup you can return an array . But , you have to do some modification. In the function
makeShape , you have specified Shape class object to be the return type. But, you are sending
array so you need to change the return type. And, it would effiecient if you send a pointer.
Then,one can get dynamic memory . But, answer for your question is yes ; you just need to
change the return type of the function..

How is a chorioallantoic placenta different from a choriovitelline placenta? Give an example of
an animal or group of animals that depend on each.
Solution
1) The family Peramelidae/bandicoots has a chorioallantoic placenta. The rest of the marsupials
have a choriovitelline placenta.
2) The choriovitelline placenta is less vascularized than the chorioallanoic placenta. The portion
in contact with the uterine lining is convoluted to increase the surface area in contact with the
uterus but it is not deeply imbedded in the uterine lining. A small amount of uterine milk diffuses
from the uterine tissue to the fetus, but most of the nourishment for the fetus comes from the
yolk sac.
3) The chorioallantoic placenta is more highly vascularized. The fetal and maternal tissues are
more highly interconnected due to the many finger-like projections known as villi that grow into
the uterine lining. Gases and nutrients diffuse from the maternal capillary beds, across the
placental membranes and into the fetal capillaries, and vice versa..

How can I tell when it is going to be a Archimedean Spiral. What is .pdf
How can I tell when it is going to be a Archimedean Spiral. What is a general formula? Only one
I know is r=theta. What else would I look for?
Solution
The Archimedean spiral has the property that any ray from the origin intersects
successive turnings of the spiral in points with a constant separation distance (equal to 2?b if ? is
measured in radians), hence the name \"arithmetic spiral\". In contrast to this, in a logarithmic
spiral these distances, as well as the distances of the intersection points measured from the
origin, form a geometric progression. The Archimedean spiral has two arms, one for ? > 0 and
one for ? < 0. The two arms are smoothly connected at the origin. Only one arm is shown on the
accompanying graph. Taking the mirror image of this arm across the y-axis will yield the other
arm. the term Archimedean spiral is used for the more general group of spirals r= a+
b(theta)^1/x where a,b are real numbers The normal Archimedean spiral occurs when x = 1.
Other spirals falling into this group include the hyperbolic spiral, Fermat\'s spiral, and the lituus.
Virtually all static spirals appearing in nature are logarithmic spirals, not Archimedean ones.
Many dynamic spirals (such as the Parker spiral of the solar wind, or the pattern made by a
Catherine\'s wheel) are Archimedean..

Description For this part of the assignment, you will create a Grid .pdf
Description For this part of the assignment, you will create a Grid representing the pacman’s
game grid by using a 2D array of Strings as shown in Section 1. Also, you will design the
functionality of the pacman as described in Section 2 and represent it in the grid. 1 The Grid The
dimensions of the grid is 15 x 15 and the gird is composed of 4 boundaries: north, south, east,
and west boundaries as shown in the Figure. The grid has the following characteristics: 1. The
boundaries are represented with “X”, and this will block the pacman. 2. There may be obstacles
that obstruct the pacman’s movement. 3. There are 4 gates represented with “ ”, and these gates
communicates with the opposite gate. E.g., the north gate communicates with the south gate, and
the east gate communicates with the west. This means that if the pacman is located in the north
gate, next time it moves up will appear in the south gate, similar with the east and west gate. 4.
The grid contains cookies represented with “.”. The idea is to collect all the cookies from the grid
in order to win the game. Every time the the pacman eats a cookie, the cookie disappears. The
Grid has the following fields • grid: is a 2D array of Strings • x-pos: the x-coordinate where the
pacman is located • y-pos: the y-coordinate where the pacman is located • counter: a counter that
represents the total number of cookies consumed by the pacman In addition, the Grid has the
following methods: • initializeGrid(): This method will print a “fresh” new grid with the pacman
located in the middle of the grid and the rest of the grid will contain cookies “.”. Except the
boundaries of the grid. Your maze shall have four boundaries i.e., north, south, east, and west.
The boundaries are represented with an “X”. Each boundary has a gate in the middle that allows
the pacman to communicate to the opposite gate. • updateGrid(): will happen after the selection
of moving “a”,“s”,“d” or “w” is done. Since these four options will move to west, south, east, or
north, then you need to “update” the grid. The way to do this is by passing the x-coordinate and
the y-coordinate as arguments to this method. The method then, will update the new position of
the pacman (that is, the x and y coordinate from the arguments). Here is where the previous x
and y position of the pacman will “disappear” (which is now a blank space “ ”). This method will
reflect the new position of the pacman in the grid in case it moved. This method will also reflect
the number of cookies consumed. • checkBoundaries(): Before moving the pacman to the new
position, this method will check if is possible according the current coordinates. In case is a valid
movement, the method will return true. In case the movement is invalid, due to a boundary or
through something else, then your method will return false. The Pacman The pacman has the
following characteristics: • The pacman has the ability to move through the gates (i.e., north to
south, east to west). •.
Discuss one (1) traditional and two (2) new strategies that special i.pdf
Discuss one (1) traditional and two (2) new strategies that special interest groups use to
influence policy/legislation. Which one (1) do you think is the most effective and why?
Solution
Interest groups seek after an extensive variety of arrangement objectives. In their endeavors to
understand these objectives, gatherings may campaign civil servants and government officials,
approach the media and take part in challenge exercises. Gatherings are politically dynamic since
they need to see their objectives satisfied. What\'s more, groups are pivotal for political science
on account of their prosperity with – here and there – accomplishing their objectives. This
essential perception focuses to the significance of catching what it is groups need in legislative
issues and how the idea of approach objectives influences their arrangement pertinent exercises.
At the point when are lawmakers the ideal objective of gathering exercises, when do groups
approach administrators and which objectives lead gatherings to take part in media-coordinated
exercises?
There are two conventional ways to deal with exploring bunch exercises: overviews mapping
bunch techniques and representing methodical variety. Sorted out gatherings are more viable
than sloppy ones. An efficient gathering can wage an organized crusade that fuses a wide range
of strategies. Association can likewise compensate for measure: An efficient little gathering
frequently has a greater effect than an extensive ineffectively sorted out one. Lobbyists utilize
various strategies and offer officials various advantages to accomplish their objectives, including

The way to lobbying is access: To impact an official, one must have the capacity to address that
official. Given how bustling individuals from Congress and other government authorities
regularly are, getting access represents a noteworthy test. Some of the time a lobbyist can just get
a few minutes of the official\'s opportunity, so the lobbyist must be set up to make the pitch
rapidly.
A few kinds of individuals have a less demanding time getting access than others. Some
lobbying associations utilize these sorts of individuals to enable pick up to get to. On-screen
character Michael J. Fox, for instance, has campaigned for expanded financing for Parkinson\'s
malady inquires about. Both Angelina Jolie and Bono have additionally effectively campaigned
Congress for their causes.
A Profitable Profession
Previous government authorities, particularly high-positioning ones, can regularly procure
expansive compensations by filling in as lobbyists, which make lobbying an appealing calling for
resigning individuals. These authorities are frequently in extraordinary request as lobbyists since
they know numerous individuals in government and can hence get too effectively. Sway Dole,
for instance—who used to be a congressperson from Kansas and was the Republican .

After reading Thomas Malthus population theory and the ideas of Ju.pdf
After reading Thomas Malthus\' population theory and the ideas of Julian Simon, with which do
you agree? Give at least one example supporting your opinion.
Solution
I agree with Julian Simon Ideas. Julian Simon ideas led to a cornucopian theory which states that
with increasing population, technology would grow and lead to new resources.
Thomas Malthus, on the other hand, stated that growing population would lead to scarce
resources which would not be able to sustain that population.
Let\'s take an example of the United States of America. After world war 2 the baby boomers
came into existence. This was the time period when the birth rate was very high, the population
was increasing and as per the Malthusian theories, the resources would have gone extinct. But
that didn\'t happen, instead, new technology and research and development came in. New
inventions like internet, computers enabled the nations to become more efficient and increase
production manifolds. Globalisation was boosted, oil market came into existence and all these
new technologies changed the way people live.
New technology just changed the way we experience the world..

Any ideas on an IT topic I could use for this case study?
For this assignment, you will write a 1-2 page response to questions concerning a case study on
an IT topic.
Solution
Case Study on Operating Systems.
To Facilitate the Secure , easy and efficient use of resources modern operating systems like
Linux and Windows are used.They provide easy user interface, Security features, and work by
using other devices.
Linux was developed by a Computer Science student Linus Torvaldsin 1991, which was known
as linur version 0.0.1 , It was then widely distributed among software developers by using
internet. The operating system NT was developed by using Win32 API in 1988 By Microsoft.
Advantages of Linux are :
1. It is not expensive and nearly free OS
2. It supports multi user and multi tasking
3. It includes source in it.
4. Errors and bugs are easily fixed and it more stable OS.
Advantages of Windows are :
1. It has easy user interface than linux
2. There are varieties of software programs , utilities available for windows users.
File Management in Linux and Windows :
Windows operating system uses drive letters like C:\\ to address a drive and the top most
directory is the root directory to access all other files and directories.
Linux File system path is given by /home/ , in which in /home the data is stored of all of its users
and files are only modified by the owner of files.
Process Management in Linux and Windows.
Linus is a multi tasking system , and its states of Process are divided into states,
1. Running - Process is ready or already running
2. Waiting - Process is waiting for a resoure allocation or to an event to happen
3. Stopped - In stopped state a process is stopped by using a signal .
4. Zombie - The process in a halted state during a task is called as zombie.
In windows a process has its individual data , space, code , which executes by using threads .
There are 3 states of process in windows :
1. Ready - In ready state the process has a ready thread to be executed.
2. StandBy- In standby state a thread waits for the processor to take up its task.
3. Running- In running state a thread begins its execution by microkernel.
User Interface of Linux and Windows :
Linux has command driven user interface which needs user to tyoe a command to do work , It
has fast speed but user needs to know all commands which are to be used by him.
Windows has menu and icon driven user interface , consisting of task bar having all the shortcuts
to the operations to be performed by using their respective icons.
Windows and Linux have different use cases , their use depends upon the operations to be
performed. Linux is flexible and a adaptable system and windows is familiar and simple to use..

Solution
From Chapter 1 of the textbook, President Wilson asserted that it is “harder to run a constitution
than to frame one.” From the first e-Activity, suggest two (2) examples of difficulties that exist
in either the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government today that bolster
Wilson’s assertion.
Although a scholar at the time his essay was written, Woodrow Wilson was very much on point
in addressing the government\'s shortcomings. The one issue he spoke on that seems to be a
fixture within today\'s government at any level, is corruption. Politicians and elected officials
taking part in moral perversion is business as usual.
Some of the difficulties that exist in either the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of
government today, can be attributed to egos and ulterior motives. Resolving vitally important
issues such as a failing economy, and health care is always a long drawn out process of hold outs
and walk outs, that in the end never benefits Joseph or Josephine Public.
Analyze the main types of federalism. Debate two to three (2-3) advantages and two to three (2-
3) disadvantages of federalism as it relates to intergovernmental relations. Provide a rationale to
support your response.
Dual federalism (1790s to 1930s): Also known as layer cake federalism, dual federalism refers to
a system in which the two levels of government operate separately, and is pretty much the bog-
standard definition of how the framers intended it to be interpreted. The powers of government
are split between the federal and state levels in order to preserve a balance between the two.
Co-operative federalism (around 1930 to 1960): This system, also called marble cake federalism,
implies that the federal and state governments share power equally in order to resolve common
problems collectively and was popular all the way through the Great Depression, the Second
World War, the Col.
What quality measures does the MCO have in placeSolutionManag.pdf
What quality measures does the MCO have in place?
Solution
Managed care organizations (MCOs) are responsible for ensuring that persons enrolled in their
plans receive quality health care. In addition, MCOs publicly funded through the Medicare and
Medicaid programs are required by State and Federal governments to meet certain quality
standards.
To fulfill their responsibilities, MCOs need ready access to a comprehensive array of evidence-
based clinical information and other clinical performance measures to enable them to evaluate
their providers\' performance and identify areas where improvement is needed. They also need to
know how their members feel about the care they receive and the way they are treated. Finally,
they need to ensure that both their providers and members are aware of the most recent
preventive care recommendations.
Valid, reliable, and cost-effective measurement tools must be available to make such
determinations, but these tools have not always been available. Furthermore, because the science
of performance measurement is relatively new, additional measures need to be developed and
those that have been developed can be improved. Therefore, to ensure that their enrollees in
MCOs receive high-quality care, MCOs need a reliable source to provide the most current and
scientifically sound tools.
In response to this need, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has funded
research to compile a database of evidence-based clinical guidelines and to develop clinical
performance measures, member satisfaction surveys, and preventive care recommendations that
can help MCOs meet their responsibilities. Additionally, AHRQ funds research and develops
performance measures and guidelines that MCOs, insurers, providers, and consumers can trust.
This report describes these tools and how they have been used and provides information on
where to learn more about them.
Background
Around one-half of insured Americans are enrolled in some form of managed care. However, as
the number of persons enrolled in MCOs increased in the 1990s, health care purchasers,
policymakers, and other stakeholders became concerned about the potential for health care
quality to diminish. In their view, the policies and practices imposed by MCOs to reduce what
MCOs define as unnecessary care might result in patients not receiving needed care. Therefore,
MCOs faced accreditation systems and other requirements to ensure that patients were receiving
the most appropriate care.
More recently, MCOs have had to address other emerging concerns such as: Rapid introduction
of new technologies, Data showing unexplained variations in the provision of care, Severe cost
pressures.
These factors have provided additional motivation to MCOs to develop systematic ways of
preserving and enhancing health care quality and cost-effectiveness.
Evidence-based practice guidelines and performance measures were developed to help ensure
that patients always receive the most appropri.

What information can a potential investor obtain from the cash flows from operating activities
section of the statement of cash flows?
Solution
Answer:
The following information can a potential investor obtain from the cash flows operating
activities:
1. The primary purpose of the statement of cash flows is to provide information about cash
receipt, cash payments,and the net change in cash resulting from the operating,investing,and
financial activities of a company during the period.
Cash flow from operating activities(CFO) is an accounting item that indicates the amount of
money a company brings in from ongoing , regular business activities, such as manufacturing
and selling goods or providing a service.Cash flow from operating activities does not include
long term capital or investment costs.
CFO can be calculated as follows:

What are three benefits of diversity What are three challenges of d.pdf
What are three benefits of diversity? What are three challenges of diversity? Discuss how each of
these are actually benefits and challenges.
Reference: Working in teams: moving from high potential to high performance.. BA Griffith and
EB Dunham.. Ch.7
Solution
The three benefits of diversity are :
1. Perspective : Working with individuals with different background can give the company a
wide perspective about the different communities that exists in the worlds and the values
associated with each community. Perspective provides a competitive advantage as it brings
creativity experience and an insight into the various communities.
2.Innovation : Working with people from different background, experience and working style
can generate new ideas coming out of the feedbacks and suggestions of each of them which can
ultimately lead to innovations. Playing on each individual\'s strength and collaborating them can
be very beneficial for a team.
3. Performance : engaging employees from different backgrounds promotes equality in the
workplace which helps the employees to be confident in their abilities and achieve their best.
Three challenges of diversity are :
1. Resistance : Diversity becomes a challenge for the organisation as the employees become
resistant to it and to the changes that are associated with it. The resistance at times develop
negative attitude in employees which in turn decreases their productivity.
2. Poor communication : As in a diverse workplace people from different age, sex, religion come
together it is very challanging to miantain proper communication among them.
Miscommunication can lead to misinterpretation which results in poor employee relationships.
3. Managing diverse workforce : Although diversity training is provided to the employees to
understand the organisation\'s diversity plan, it is not always sufficient. Various other strategies
should also be developed so that the culture of diversity reaches every department of the
organisation..
What role do birds play in the transmission of the West Nile virus W.pdf
What role do birds play in the transmission of the West Nile virus? What insect is the vector?
How is hepatitis B transmitted, and which occupational group is at greatest risk of contracting
this infection? How do forms A, C, D, and E compare with hepatitis B? How is HIV
transmitted? How are HIV/AIDS currently treated, and how effective is the treatment? In what
areas of the world does the HIV/AIDS epidemic seem virtually unchecked? In terms of STD
prevention, how can sexual practices be made safer? Why are women more often asymptomatic
for STDs than men?
Solution
What role do birds play in the transmission of the west nile virus ?which insect is the vector?
Birds are the reservoir hosts of WNV. the virus is highly pathogenic for bird. Members of the
crow family (Corvidae) are particularly susceptible, but virus has been detected in dead and
dying birds. Birds can be infected by a variety of routes other than mosquito bites, and different
species may have different potential for maintaining the transmission cycle. Mosquito is the
vector .
How is Hepatitis B Transmitted? and which occupational group is at higher risk?how do other
forms compare with hepatitis b?
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that attacks the liver and can cause both acute and chronic
disease.The virus is transmitted through contact with the blood or other body fluids of an
infected person.Hepatitis B is an important occupational hazard for health workers.
There are 5 main hepatitis viruses, referred to as types A, B, C, D and E. These 5 types are of
greatest concern because of the burden of illness and death they cause and the potential for
outbreaks and epidemic spread. In particular, types B and C lead to chronic disease in hundreds
of millions of people and, together, are the most common cause of liver cirrhosis and cancer.
Hepatitis A and E are typically caused by ingestion of contaminated food or water. Hepatitis B,
C and D usually occur as a result of parenteral contact with infected body fluids. Common
modes of transmission for these viruses include receipt of contaminated blood or blood products,
invasive medical procedures using contaminated equipment and for hepatitis B transmission
from mother to baby at birth, from family member to child, and also by sexual contact.
How is HIV transmitted? how HIV/AIDS currently treated? and how effective is the treatment?
in what areas of the world does the HIV/AIDS epidemic seem virtually unchecked? In terms of
STD prevention, how can sexual practices be made safer?
Why are women more often asymptomatic for STDs than men ?
Women are vulnerable to STDs for social and economic reasons. Compared to men, women
generally have low status, education, income and power. Social and economic dependency may
limit a woman’s ability to refuse unsafe sex or negotiate safer sex. She may also find it difficult
to obtain information about disease prevention, or to seek and receive health care. Women
striving to survive economically also may be d.

Our team tried to implement an RFID project in our department. The project was carried out to
detect every item manufactured with an RFID tag and to take the inventory position and
production planning to automation level. A lot of work was involved including procurement of
hardware, software development, integration with the existing system, training, readiness before
go-live, and stabilization. The project was a new approach to our area. We were supposed to fix
RFID tags on all the containers and RFID readers at the exit gates of the department just before
issuing to the customers.
This particular project failed. The main reason for the failure was the inexperience of the project
manager. There was a complete lack of understanding in almost all levels as what we want to
achieve out of the project. Also, the budget approved was not close to what we required to
implement the project in a complete and closed-loop manner. Finally, the users of the systems,
the lie supervisors, were not confident about the new system and postproduction support was not
available from their side. This was because that the project team never bothered to take their
feedback at any stage of the project..
Write a short report (2 pages) detailing what you think are real iss.pdf
Write a short report (2 pages) detailing what you think are real issues associated with work and
labor practices in contemporary South Africa. (b)Which sociological theories can we draw on to
fully understand the issues you have raised in your report?
Solution
This extract discusses labor laws in South Africa, with a particular focus on national legislation,
as it relates to the dimensions of the quality of employment framework. Rather than discussing
all employment policies, this brief will highlight the most significant legislation in order to
provide a general introduction to current labor policies.
Even though South Africa can celebrate 14 years of democracy, many aspects of life, in
particular work and quality of employment are still tainted by the legacies of apartheid that
discriminated against people predominantly based on race and ethnicity. Thus, achieving
equality and quality of employment for all is still a challenge.
here we stress on four issues and their sociological theories
1)in-country policy context
Today, the labor policy framework in South Africa is contained in the country’s constitution, as
well as in various Labor Acts, Basic Guides, and Codes of Good Practice. Section 23 of the
South African constitution emphasizes the right to fair labor practices.4 The freedom to choose a
trade, occupation, or profession is guaranteed by section 22 of the Constitution.4 Section 27
informs labor relations.
The Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA) was adopted in 1997 and serves as the corner
stone for guiding labor policy. The BCEA applies to all employers and workers and regulates
leave, working hours, employment contracts, deductions, and termination.
Key focus areas are employment equity, skills development, labor relations, health and safety,
and social security.
2)dimensions of quality of employment
2.1)Â Indicators of Fair, Attractive, and Competitive Compensation & Benefits Employees’
basic economic needs are secured, and fair and equitable distribution of compensation and
benefits among employees is promoted.
Minimum wage determinations and basic needs
Equitable wage distribution
Paid leave
Pension and provident funds
Medical and Health Insurance
2.2)Indicators of Opportunities for Development, Learning, & Advancement
Job skill development and advancement are promoted for employees of as many industrial
sectors, employment statuses and life/career stages as possible.
Training and work performance
Scarce skills training and employment or re-employment of retired workers with specialist skills
“Learnerships”
Financing skill development and training
2.3)Â Indicators of Wellness, Health & Safety Protections
Protection of employees’ safety and health at their worksite is mandated, and their physical and
mental well-being is promoted. In the case of job-related injury or illness, compensation or other
forms of social protection are offered.

How can I tell when it is going to be a Archimedean Spiral. What is .pdf
How can I tell when it is going to be a Archimedean Spiral. What is a general formula? Only one
I know is r=theta. What else would I look for?
Solution
The Archimedean spiral has the property that any ray from the origin intersects
successive turnings of the spiral in points with a constant separation distance (equal to 2?b if ? is
measured in radians), hence the name \"arithmetic spiral\". In contrast to this, in a logarithmic
spiral these distances, as well as the distances of the intersection points measured from the
origin, form a geometric progression. The Archimedean spiral has two arms, one for ? > 0 and
one for ? < 0. The two arms are smoothly connected at the origin. Only one arm is shown on the
accompanying graph. Taking the mirror image of this arm across the y-axis will yield the other
arm. the term Archimedean spiral is used for the more general group of spirals r= a+
b(theta)^1/x where a,b are real numbers The normal Archimedean spiral occurs when x = 1.
Other spirals falling into this group include the hyperbolic spiral, Fermat\'s spiral, and the lituus.
Virtually all static spirals appearing in nature are logarithmic spirals, not Archimedean ones.
Many dynamic spirals (such as the Parker spiral of the solar wind, or the pattern made by a
Catherine\'s wheel) are Archimedean..

Description For this part of the assignment, you will create a Grid .pdf
Description For this part of the assignment, you will create a Grid representing the pacman’s
game grid by using a 2D array of Strings as shown in Section 1. Also, you will design the
functionality of the pacman as described in Section 2 and represent it in the grid. 1 The Grid The
dimensions of the grid is 15 x 15 and the gird is composed of 4 boundaries: north, south, east,
and west boundaries as shown in the Figure. The grid has the following characteristics: 1. The
boundaries are represented with “X”, and this will block the pacman. 2. There may be obstacles
that obstruct the pacman’s movement. 3. There are 4 gates represented with “ ”, and these gates
communicates with the opposite gate. E.g., the north gate communicates with the south gate, and
the east gate communicates with the west. This means that if the pacman is located in the north
gate, next time it moves up will appear in the south gate, similar with the east and west gate. 4.
The grid contains cookies represented with “.”. The idea is to collect all the cookies from the grid
in order to win the game. Every time the the pacman eats a cookie, the cookie disappears. The
Grid has the following fields • grid: is a 2D array of Strings • x-pos: the x-coordinate where the
pacman is located • y-pos: the y-coordinate where the pacman is located • counter: a counter that
represents the total number of cookies consumed by the pacman In addition, the Grid has the
following methods: • initializeGrid(): This method will print a “fresh” new grid with the pacman
located in the middle of the grid and the rest of the grid will contain cookies “.”. Except the
boundaries of the grid. Your maze shall have four boundaries i.e., north, south, east, and west.
The boundaries are represented with an “X”. Each boundary has a gate in the middle that allows
the pacman to communicate to the opposite gate. • updateGrid(): will happen after the selection
of moving “a”,“s”,“d” or “w” is done. Since these four options will move to west, south, east, or
north, then you need to “update” the grid. The way to do this is by passing the x-coordinate and
the y-coordinate as arguments to this method. The method then, will update the new position of
the pacman (that is, the x and y coordinate from the arguments). Here is where the previous x
and y position of the pacman will “disappear” (which is now a blank space “ ”). This method will
reflect the new position of the pacman in the grid in case it moved. This method will also reflect
the number of cookies consumed. • checkBoundaries(): Before moving the pacman to the new
position, this method will check if is possible according the current coordinates. In case is a valid
movement, the method will return true. In case the movement is invalid, due to a boundary or
through something else, then your method will return false. The Pacman The pacman has the
following characteristics: • The pacman has the ability to move through the gates (i.e., north to
south, east to west). •.
Discuss one (1) traditional and two (2) new strategies that special i.pdf
Discuss one (1) traditional and two (2) new strategies that special interest groups use to
influence policy/legislation. Which one (1) do you think is the most effective and why?
Solution
Interest groups seek after an extensive variety of arrangement objectives. In their endeavors to
understand these objectives, gatherings may campaign civil servants and government officials,
approach the media and take part in challenge exercises. Gatherings are politically dynamic since
they need to see their objectives satisfied. What\'s more, groups are pivotal for political science
on account of their prosperity with – here and there – accomplishing their objectives. This
essential perception focuses to the significance of catching what it is groups need in legislative
issues and how the idea of approach objectives influences their arrangement pertinent exercises.
At the point when are lawmakers the ideal objective of gathering exercises, when do groups
approach administrators and which objectives lead gatherings to take part in media-coordinated
exercises?
There are two conventional ways to deal with exploring bunch exercises: overviews mapping
bunch techniques and representing methodical variety. Sorted out gatherings are more viable
than sloppy ones. An efficient gathering can wage an organized crusade that fuses a wide range
of strategies. Association can likewise compensate for measure: An efficient little gathering
frequently has a greater effect than an extensive ineffectively sorted out one. Lobbyists utilize
various strategies and offer officials various advantages to accomplish their objectives, including
influence, data, and material motivating forces, financial use, disturbance, and suit.
Access
The way to lobbying is access: To impact an official, one must have the capacity to address that
official. Given how bustling individuals from Congress and other government authorities
regularly are, getting access represents a noteworthy test. Some of the time a lobbyist can just get
a few minutes of the official\'s opportunity, so the lobbyist must be set up to make the pitch
rapidly.
A few kinds of individuals have a less demanding time getting access than others. Some
lobbying associations utilize these sorts of individuals to enable pick up to get to. On-screen
character Michael J. Fox, for instance, has campaigned for expanded financing for Parkinson\'s
malady inquires about. Both Angelina Jolie and Bono have additionally effectively campaigned
Congress for their causes.
A Profitable Profession
Previous government authorities, particularly high-positioning ones, can regularly procure
expansive compensations by filling in as lobbyists, which make lobbying an appealing calling for
resigning individuals. These authorities are frequently in extraordinary request as lobbyists since
they know numerous individuals in government and can hence get too effectively. Sway Dole,
for instance—who used to be a congressperson from Kansas and was the Republican .

After reading Thomas Malthus population theory and the ideas of Ju.pdf
After reading Thomas Malthus\' population theory and the ideas of Julian Simon, with which do
you agree? Give at least one example supporting your opinion.
Solution
I agree with Julian Simon Ideas. Julian Simon ideas led to a cornucopian theory which states that
with increasing population, technology would grow and lead to new resources.
Thomas Malthus, on the other hand, stated that growing population would lead to scarce
resources which would not be able to sustain that population.
Let\'s take an example of the United States of America. After world war 2 the baby boomers
came into existence. This was the time period when the birth rate was very high, the population
was increasing and as per the Malthusian theories, the resources would have gone extinct. But
that didn\'t happen, instead, new technology and research and development came in. New
inventions like internet, computers enabled the nations to become more efficient and increase
production manifolds. Globalisation was boosted, oil market came into existence and all these
new technologies changed the way people live.
New technology just changed the way we experience the world..

an IT topic.
Solution
Case Study on Operating Systems.
To Facilitate the Secure , easy and efficient use of resources modern operating systems like
Linux and Windows are used.They provide easy user interface, Security features, and work by
using other devices.
Linux was developed by a Computer Science student Linus Torvaldsin 1991, which was known
as linur version 0.0.1 , It was then widely distributed among software developers by using
internet. The operating system NT was developed by using Win32 API in 1988 By Microsoft.
Advantages of Linux are :
1. It is not expensive and nearly free OS
2. It supports multi user and multi tasking
3. It includes source in it.
4. Errors and bugs are easily fixed and it more stable OS.
Advantages of Windows are :
1. It has easy user interface than linux
2. There are varieties of software programs , utilities available for windows users.
File Management in Linux and Windows :
Windows operating system uses drive letters like C:\\ to address a drive and the top most
directory is the root directory to access all other files and directories.
Linux File system path is given by /home/ , in which in /home the data is stored of all of its users
and files are only modified by the owner of files.
Process Management in Linux and Windows.
Linus is a multi tasking system , and its states of Process are divided into states,
1. Running - Process is ready or already running
2. Waiting - Process is waiting for a resoure allocation or to an event to happen
3. Stopped - In stopped state a process is stopped by using a signal .
4. Zombie - The process in a halted state during a task is called as zombie.
In windows a process has its individual data , space, code , which executes by using threads .
There are 3 states of process in windows :
1. Ready - In ready state the process has a ready thread to be executed.
2. StandBy- In standby state a thread waits for the processor to take up its task.
3. Running- In running state a thread begins its execution by microkernel.
User Interface of Linux and Windows :
Linux has command driven user interface which needs user to tyoe a command to do work , It
has fast speed but user needs to know all commands which are to be used by him.
Windows has menu and icon driven user interface , consisting of task bar having all the shortcuts
to the operations to be performed by using their respective icons.
Windows and Linux have different use cases , their use depends upon the operations to be
performed. Linux is flexible and a adaptable system and windows is familiar and simple to use..

Solution
From Chapter 1 of the textbook, President Wilson asserted that it is “harder to run a constitution
than to frame one.” From the first e-Activity, suggest two (2) examples of difficulties that exist
in either the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government today that bolster
Wilson’s assertion.
Although a scholar at the time his essay was written, Woodrow Wilson was very much on point
in addressing the government\'s shortcomings. The one issue he spoke on that seems to be a
fixture within today\'s government at any level, is corruption. Politicians and elected officials
taking part in moral perversion is business as usual.
Some of the difficulties that exist in either the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of
government today, can be attributed to egos and ulterior motives. Resolving vitally important
issues such as a failing economy, and health care is always a long drawn out process of hold outs
and walk outs, that in the end never benefits Joseph or Josephine Public.
Analyze the main types of federalism. Debate two to three (2-3) advantages and two to three (2-
3) disadvantages of federalism as it relates to intergovernmental relations. Provide a rationale to
support your response.
Dual federalism (1790s to 1930s): Also known as layer cake federalism, dual federalism refers to
a system in which the two levels of government operate separately, and is pretty much the bog-
standard definition of how the framers intended it to be interpreted. The powers of government
are split between the federal and state levels in order to preserve a balance between the two.
Co-operative federalism (around 1930 to 1960): This system, also called marble cake federalism,
implies that the federal and state governments share power equally in order to resolve common
problems collectively and was popular all the way through the Great Depression, the Second
World War, the Col.
What quality measures does the MCO have in placeSolutionManag.pdf
What quality measures does the MCO have in place?
Solution
Managed care organizations (MCOs) are responsible for ensuring that persons enrolled in their
plans receive quality health care. In addition, MCOs publicly funded through the Medicare and
Medicaid programs are required by State and Federal governments to meet certain quality
standards.
To fulfill their responsibilities, MCOs need ready access to a comprehensive array of evidence-
based clinical information and other clinical performance measures to enable them to evaluate
their providers\' performance and identify areas where improvement is needed. They also need to
know how their members feel about the care they receive and the way they are treated. Finally,
they need to ensure that both their providers and members are aware of the most recent
preventive care recommendations.
Valid, reliable, and cost-effective measurement tools must be available to make such
determinations, but these tools have not always been available. Furthermore, because the science
of performance measurement is relatively new, additional measures need to be developed and
those that have been developed can be improved. Therefore, to ensure that their enrollees in
MCOs receive high-quality care, MCOs need a reliable source to provide the most current and
scientifically sound tools.
In response to this need, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has funded
research to compile a database of evidence-based clinical guidelines and to develop clinical
performance measures, member satisfaction surveys, and preventive care recommendations that
can help MCOs meet their responsibilities. Additionally, AHRQ funds research and develops
performance measures and guidelines that MCOs, insurers, providers, and consumers can trust.
This report describes these tools and how they have been used and provides information on
where to learn more about them.
Background
Around one-half of insured Americans are enrolled in some form of managed care. However, as
the number of persons enrolled in MCOs increased in the 1990s, health care purchasers,
policymakers, and other stakeholders became concerned about the potential for health care
quality to diminish. In their view, the policies and practices imposed by MCOs to reduce what
MCOs define as unnecessary care might result in patients not receiving needed care. Therefore,
MCOs faced accreditation systems and other requirements to ensure that patients were receiving
the most appropriate care.
More recently, MCOs have had to address other emerging concerns such as: Rapid introduction
of new technologies, Data showing unexplained variations in the provision of care, Severe cost
pressures.
These factors have provided additional motivation to MCOs to develop systematic ways of
preserving and enhancing health care quality and cost-effectiveness.
Evidence-based practice guidelines and performance measures were developed to help ensure
that patients always receive the most appropri.

section of the statement of cash flows?
Solution
Answer:
The following information can a potential investor obtain from the cash flows operating
activities:
1. The primary purpose of the statement of cash flows is to provide information about cash
receipt, cash payments,and the net change in cash resulting from the operating,investing,and
financial activities of a company during the period.
Cash flow from operating activities(CFO) is an accounting item that indicates the amount of
money a company brings in from ongoing , regular business activities, such as manufacturing
and selling goods or providing a service.Cash flow from operating activities does not include
long term capital or investment costs.
CFO can be calculated as follows:

What are three benefits of diversity What are three challenges of d.pdf
What are three benefits of diversity? What are three challenges of diversity? Discuss how each of
these are actually benefits and challenges.
Reference: Working in teams: moving from high potential to high performance.. BA Griffith and
EB Dunham.. Ch.7
Solution
The three benefits of diversity are :
1. Perspective : Working with individuals with different background can give the company a
wide perspective about the different communities that exists in the worlds and the values
associated with each community. Perspective provides a competitive advantage as it brings
creativity experience and an insight into the various communities.
2.Innovation : Working with people from different background, experience and working style
can generate new ideas coming out of the feedbacks and suggestions of each of them which can
ultimately lead to innovations. Playing on each individual\'s strength and collaborating them can
be very beneficial for a team.
3. Performance : engaging employees from different backgrounds promotes equality in the
workplace which helps the employees to be confident in their abilities and achieve their best.
Three challenges of diversity are :
1. Resistance : Diversity becomes a challenge for the organisation as the employees become
resistant to it and to the changes that are associated with it. The resistance at times develop
negative attitude in employees which in turn decreases their productivity.
2. Poor communication : As in a diverse workplace people from different age, sex, religion come
together it is very challanging to miantain proper communication among them.
Miscommunication can lead to misinterpretation which results in poor employee relationships.
3. Managing diverse workforce : Although diversity training is provided to the employees to
understand the organisation\'s diversity plan, it is not always sufficient. Various other strategies
should also be developed so that the culture of diversity reaches every department of the
organisation..
What role do birds play in the transmission of the West Nile virus W.pdf
What role do birds play in the transmission of the West Nile virus? What insect is the vector?
How is hepatitis B transmitted, and which occupational group is at greatest risk of contracting
this infection? How do forms A, C, D, and E compare with hepatitis B? How is HIV
transmitted? How are HIV/AIDS currently treated, and how effective is the treatment? In what
areas of the world does the HIV/AIDS epidemic seem virtually unchecked? In terms of STD
prevention, how can sexual practices be made safer? Why are women more often asymptomatic
for STDs than men?
Solution
What role do birds play in the transmission of the west nile virus ?which insect is the vector?
Birds are the reservoir hosts of WNV. the virus is highly pathogenic for bird. Members of the
crow family (Corvidae) are particularly susceptible, but virus has been detected in dead and
dying birds. Birds can be infected by a variety of routes other than mosquito bites, and different
species may have different potential for maintaining the transmission cycle. Mosquito is the
vector .
How is Hepatitis B Transmitted? and which occupational group is at higher risk?how do other
forms compare with hepatitis b?
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that attacks the liver and can cause both acute and chronic
disease.The virus is transmitted through contact with the blood or other body fluids of an
infected person.Hepatitis B is an important occupational hazard for health workers.
There are 5 main hepatitis viruses, referred to as types A, B, C, D and E. These 5 types are of
greatest concern because of the burden of illness and death they cause and the potential for
outbreaks and epidemic spread. In particular, types B and C lead to chronic disease in hundreds
of millions of people and, together, are the most common cause of liver cirrhosis and cancer.
Hepatitis A and E are typically caused by ingestion of contaminated food or water. Hepatitis B,
C and D usually occur as a result of parenteral contact with infected body fluids. Common
modes of transmission for these viruses include receipt of contaminated blood or blood products,
invasive medical procedures using contaminated equipment and for hepatitis B transmission
from mother to baby at birth, from family member to child, and also by sexual contact.
How is HIV transmitted? how HIV/AIDS currently treated? and how effective is the treatment?
in what areas of the world does the HIV/AIDS epidemic seem virtually unchecked? In terms of
STD prevention, how can sexual practices be made safer?
Why are women more often asymptomatic for STDs than men ?
Women are vulnerable to STDs for social and economic reasons. Compared to men, women
generally have low status, education, income and power. Social and economic dependency may
limit a woman’s ability to refuse unsafe sex or negotiate safer sex. She may also find it difficult
to obtain information about disease prevention, or to seek and receive health care. Women
striving to survive economically also may be d.

production planning to automation level. A lot of work was involved including procurement of
hardware, software development, integration with the existing system, training, readiness before
go-live, and stabilization. The project was a new approach to our area. We were supposed to fix
RFID tags on all the containers and RFID readers at the exit gates of the department just before
issuing to the customers.
This particular project failed. The main reason for the failure was the inexperience of the project
manager. There was a complete lack of understanding in almost all levels as what we want to
achieve out of the project. Also, the budget approved was not close to what we required to
implement the project in a complete and closed-loop manner. Finally, the users of the systems,
the lie supervisors, were not confident about the new system and postproduction support was not
available from their side. This was because that the project team never bothered to take their
feedback at any stage of the project..

Write a short report (2 pages) detailing what you think are real issues associated with work and
labor practices in contemporary South Africa. (b)Which sociological theories can we draw on to
fully understand the issues you have raised in your report?
Solution
This extract discusses labor laws in South Africa, with a particular focus on national legislation,
as it relates to the dimensions of the quality of employment framework. Rather than discussing
all employment policies, this brief will highlight the most significant legislation in order to
provide a general introduction to current labor policies.
Even though South Africa can celebrate 14 years of democracy, many aspects of life, in
particular work and quality of employment are still tainted by the legacies of apartheid that
discriminated against people predominantly based on race and ethnicity. Thus, achieving
equality and quality of employment for all is still a challenge.
here we stress on four issues and their sociological theories
1)in-country policy context
Today, the labor policy framework in South Africa is contained in the country’s constitution, as
well as in various Labor Acts, Basic Guides, and Codes of Good Practice. Section 23 of the
South African constitution emphasizes the right to fair labor practices.4 The freedom to choose a
trade, occupation, or profession is guaranteed by section 22 of the Constitution.4 Section 27
informs labor relations.
The Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA) was adopted in 1997 and serves as the corner
stone for guiding labor policy. The BCEA applies to all employers and workers and regulates
leave, working hours, employment contracts, deductions, and termination.
Key focus areas are employment equity, skills development, labor relations, health and safety,
and social security.
2)dimensions of quality of employment
2.1)Â Indicators of Fair, Attractive, and Competitive Compensation & Benefits Employees’
basic economic needs are secured, and fair and equitable distribution of compensation and
benefits among employees is promoted.
Minimum wage determinations and basic needs
Equitable wage distribution
Paid leave
Pension and provident funds
Medical and Health Insurance
2.2)Indicators of Opportunities for Development, Learning, & Advancement
Job skill development and advancement are promoted for employees of as many industrial
sectors, employment statuses and life/career stages as possible.
Training and work performance
Scarce skills training and employment or re-employment of retired workers with specialist skills
“Learnerships”
Financing skill development and training
2.3)Â Indicators of Wellness, Health & Safety Protections
Protection of employees’ safety and health at their worksite is mandated, and their physical and
mental well-being is promoted. In the case of job-related injury or illness, compensation or other
forms of social protection are offered.
Cost of occupational disease and injury, compensation, and health benefits
Promoting hea.
