The research will focus on a country’s interest (can be Canada but mostly will be a developing country) and domestic investment (or a company). And analyze how and how long a positive interest will affect its investment, and also the reason of changing interest rate. As an investor, should be knowing that interest rates play an important role in how we put a price on stocks.

1. Abstract. Here you summarize your total paper briefly in a single paragraph. Objective, method, major findings – NO equation or detailed discussion.

2. Introduction. In this section you discuss what you are doing and why your work is important. In the end, a paragraph with your main findings is a must. This section is typically no longer than two pages.

3. Literature review. Discuss methods, data and results of several published research papers in the area of your work. Also explain how your work is important and different from those work. Around two pages is okay.

4. Data and Methodology. Clearly indicate type of data you are using and the source(s) of data. Detail the methodologies you would use in the paper. If you use multiple methods, all needed to be clearly elaborated with necessary equation and explanation.

5. Results and discussions. This is important that you explain your findings in detail and indicate that they are reasonable and realistic. If you have performed any hypothesis testing explain them. You must show your results in tables or graphs labeling serial number and titles. Large table can be attached in an appendix (Please don’t attach any data set with your paper).

6. Conclusion. This section summarize your forecasting results and you acknowledge constraints you have faced during your research work, e.g., methods, data. Based on that you indicate future research directions. This section should not be more than two paged long.

This research essay must analyze an artwork of your choice. It is intended to explore both the formal and historical qualities of the work. It may be something that we have discussed in class, or you may select a work of which you are familiar. MLA guidelines apply. At least three scholarly reference works must be selected, which may include online sources.

Selecting a Work of Art for Research

The best place to do this is by visiting a museum. While there choose a work that appeals to you and that is included in the period covered by this course. It may be Western or Non-Western art.

When you have found something interesting, look at it as a design first. What Visual Elements and Principals of Design does it employ? Why is this design of interest to you? Review the aspects of the work that appealed to you and list them as they occurred to you.

Now, look at the label and find out the name of the artist, the title of the work, and the date of its creation. This information is needed to complete your analysis by discussing the style of the work and how the work represents the culture and time period in which it was created. What has the artist included of a personal viewpoint?

Your grade for the research project will be based on the average of two components:

Original content (including the quality of sources)
MLA format

The exam has two questions. Answer both questions.

1. (Two pages, 50 points) How does Plato distinguish and justify his distinction between genuine knowledge and right opinion? In your answer discuss the three major approaches which Plato takes to this question: a. psychological: based on the structure of the rational soul b. epistemological: based on the establishment of standards of truth and knowledge c. metaphysical: based on a theory of reality

To answer question (1) you should rely on your lecture notes, the Plato lecture (pdf), Plato’s allegory of the Cave, and Plato’s Divided Line. All of the latter material is on iLearn.

2. (Two pages, 50 points) Question 2 has two parts. Answer both parts.

(2a) In your own opinion, how do you understand the relationship between psychology, epistemology and metaphysics? (2b) Can the question “what can we know?” be answered apart from considering the questions “what is the structure of the mind?” and “what is most real in the universe”?

HomeSpace is a home products retailer, which has been operating in the UK since 1974. It offers a wide range of stylishly designed and manufactured products for everyday use at home. The wide range of products on offer include small storage and shelving solutions, small appliances, accessories, home electrical and lighting solutions, kitchenware, stationeries, gadgets, etc.

Home Space operates several branches around the UK. Home Space orders products from a range of suppliers who organise the deliveries of the ordered items. The suppliers deliver the products in large bundles. Upon delivery at a HomeSpace depot, the bundles of products get stored temporarily in specific areas of the depot before being organised properly, with each product type being allocated a certain depot zone.

Customers place an order for HomeSpace products and can then have the order despatched to them. It is also possible for private customers to collect their orders by attending a designated collection point at one of the HomeSpace branches.

Part B Questions

You have been hired by HomeSpace as a database architect to undertake a database project to support the data needs required by the business processes in the organisation. In this second part, you are given a conceptual data model for HomeSpace (figure 1) and your goal is to map it onto a high-quality LOGICAL RELATIONAL DATA MODEL to logically represent how the key business data needs to be organised as a set of interrelated relations that can then be implemented. These relations need to be interconnected according to the strict rules of the relational model so that they can then be translated into a set of operational database tables. You also have to produce an executive report to justify your decisions and write a number of SQL statements to create some of the relations and retrieve information from them.

Produce a complete Logical Entity-Relationship Diagram for HomeSpace. This needs to include all the correct relations, relationships, multiplicity constraints, attributes, primary keys and foreign keys. This needs to fit on one page.

Provide an executive summary of how you produced the HomeSpace logical ERD i.e. how you mapped the HomeSpace conceptual ERD into a full logical relational schema. In other words, you need to refer to the Logical Data Modelling Methodology and explain in a written narrative in the first person what you need to do to resolve each relationship and derive the relevant relations (i.e. tables) with all their attributes, primary keys and foreign keys. This needs to fit on no more than two pages.

Produce the SQL code (DDL and DML statements) to complete the following tasks. Your DDL statements need to include all the required constraints. Your DML statements need to retrieve the required information. This needs to fit on no more than one page.

Create a table to store the details of all the suppliers.

Create a table to store the details of all the purchase orders placed with suppliers.

Retrieve the reference numbers and total values of all the purchase orders that were placed in 2014 for a total value of over £1200.00 with the supplier called “Lovely Home Supplies Ltd”.
