================================================================================================================ 
To prepare: 
 
Select one of the three case studies. Reflect on the provided patient information. 
Reflect on the specific socioeconomic, spiritual, lifestyle, and other cultural factors related to the health of the patient you selected. 
Consider how you would build a health history for the patient. What questions would you ask, and how would you frame them to be sensitive to the patient’s background, lifestyle, and culture? Develop five targeted questions you would ask the patient to build his or her health history and to assess his or her health risks. 
Think about the challenges associated with communicating with patients from a variety of specific populations. What strategies can you as a nurse employ to be sensitive to different cultural factors while gathering the pertinent information? 
================================================================================================================ 
Post an explanation of the specific socioeconomic, spiritual, lifestyle, and other cultural factors associated with the patient you selected. Explain the issues that you would need to be sensitive to when interacting with the patient, and why. Provide at least five targeted questions you would ask the patient to build his or her health history and to assess his or her health risks.

How would Socrates, Shakespeare, Marx, Gandhi, etc. respond to these subjects? Guidelines.

Select one of the following thesis-statements: 
• Greed is good for society 
• Marriage is an outdated institution 
• Only individuals with high IQ scores should be allowed to make the law 
• Being poor is just a state of mind 
• Citizens have no rights to privacy 
• To limit population growth, China’s one-child policy should become international law 
• Obese persons should be charged extra on flights 
• In a free market, it should be possible to buy citizenship 
Write an argumentative essay in support of the thesis. You are going to be arguing for this position. 
You need to find and use your own sources to discuss the issue and support your argument. You must also use 2 or 3 readings from the course to develop your thesis. To do this, ask yourself the following questions: How do you think the writers we have studied could help us better understand these issues or to question them? How would Socrates, Shakespeare, Marx, Gandhi, etc. respond to these subjects? 
Guidelines 
Begin your essay with a short introduction that introduces your topic, states your thesis, and explains the purposes of your essay (<a href=”https://i.e” target=”_blank”>i.e</a>. why your thesis matters). The body of your essay should be a carefully structured discussion of specific examples in support of your thesis. Your writing should be clear and straightforward. 
Refer closely to 2 or 3 readings from the course. Choose readings from different units of the course. 
You should also use at least 2 additional sources in your essay – sources you have found yourself. These need to be reliable and scholarly sources (<a href=”https://i.e” target=”_blank”>i.e</a>. academic books or journal articles, not websites). Consult a librarian to help you if you are unsure how to find academic sources. 
The assignment should be 4-6 pages, double-spaced. Use a regular font, 12-point. Do not include a cover-page or a contents page. Add your name and ZU ID on the first page. Include page-numbers. 
All of the sources you use in your essay should be cited correctly. Use a consistent citation style (MLA, APA, etc.) for your in-text citations and bibliography. Do not use footnotes or endnotes. 
You are welcome to solicit feedback from your instructor on your work as you write it – in person and/or over email. However, do not leave this until the last minute. 
Any instance of plagiarism or dishonesty, however small or unintended, will result in a zero- grade. 
Work is due in class on 9 December. Turn in your essay in class and also upload a copy to SafeAssign on Blackboard. No extensions will be given, so plan your time accordingly. 
The assignment is worth 30% of your final grade (see rubric). 
Finally, please note: An essay you write does not have to reflect your personal views. What is more important is that you understand an issue and can make an effective and original argument about it using reliable sources.

Analyzing the muscle cells of a newly discovered mammalian species.

For the following questions, answer them fully and show all work (if applicable). For all questions, please show your work on a separate piece of paper.

Question 1
You are analyzing the muscle cells of a newly discovered mammalian species. The following condition were found to be different from the general mammalian system:
The c rotor ring of the ATP Synthase has 15 c subunits.

In each of the following parts, determine the TOTAL number of ATP that is created from the following starting molecules. Whenever possible, choose the shuttle pathway that will result in the greatest number of ATP synthesized:

Part A : 18-carbon fully saturated fatty acyl-CoA molecule in the cytosol.

Part B : 1 dihydroxyacetone phosphate molecule in the cytosol.
Question 2 : Answer each part of the question using the following fatty acid:

14:0-Tetradecanoic acid

Draw the structure of the fatty acid listed above as a fatty acyl-CoA molecule (14:0-tetradecanoyl coA). You will have to look up the structure of conenzyme A and draw it entirely out. (2 pt)

Draw the arrow pushing mechanism for the 1st step β-oxidation (the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase step) in the fourth cycle of oxidation for the fatty acyl-CoA above. Be sure to draw out structures completely. Use the structure of a glutamate at pH 6 for the base, HOH as an acid, and the entire structure of FADH2 during the mechanism. (hint: pay attention to the number of carbons in the chains now that you are in the 4th cycle and you’ll have to look up the structure for FADH2). (3 pts)
Tabulate the total number of ATP yield from the complete oxidation of the fatty acyl-CoA above. For this question ONLY, assume 2.5 ATP/NADH and 1.5 ATP/FADH2. GTP is chemically equivalent to ATP. (hint: see Table 17-1 as an example of a good table layout to use). (2 pts)

Compare and contrast three promotion strategies assessing the probable effectiveness of each.

prepare a 3 – 4 page double-spaced paper that describes the marketing communication plan for your product or service. After discussing the characteristics of your target market, identify and rank three (3) promotion strategies, discuss specific uses of social media, and provide a competitive analysis. Support your analysis with three (3) academic sources, which may include your textbook, and/or credible business journals such as Barrons, The Wall Street Journal and/or Business Week. Your analysis should include: • Briefly describe your target market identifying unique characteristics and/or preferences of that market supporting your analysis with credible data • Compare and contrast three promotion strategies assessing the probable effectiveness of each. Rank order promotion strategies supporting your analysis with credible data. • Describe how you would incorporate social media to promote your product or service; be specific in identifying which social media you would use and why. Support your analysis with credible data. • Discuss how your marketing communication plan will differentiate your product or service from current and/or anticipated competition. Support your analysis with credible data

What advice does your interviewee offer to someone in your position and with your short- and long-term goals.

Your Portfolio Project synthesizes information gathered from an interview you will conduct with a manager of your choosing, the knowledge you’ve gained in this course, and your own experience to create a research and reflection paper.

Be sure to thoroughly read the Portfolio Project description below before beginning to work on the project.

Interview Subject and Summary of Theories (20 points of the Portfolio Project)

Select which of the two Portfolio Project options you will complete and submit. Before midnight on Sunday, submit the name of the person who will be your interview subject, along with a summary of the theories that you plan to cover. These theories can change as you progress through your project, so the information you provide for this Week 2 deliverable is not set in stone. Instead, this assignment provides an opportunity to begin thinking about your Portfolio Project and record your preliminary ideas. Your submission should be 200-300 words in length.

: Portfolio Project Outline (20 points of the Portfolio Project)

Submit an outline of your Portfolio Project. Your outline should include bullet points, in the form of sentences or phrases describing each major argument you want to make, organized as the final project will be organized. This should by no means be a complete or final document, but should be sufficiently advanced to serve as a guide for a working draft of your project drafts to ensure that your writing is clear, thoughtful, and precise.

Interview

Choose a manager to interview with whom you are familiar—ideally, someone whom you admire and aspire to emulate. Ask her or him for some time—perhaps you can sit down for coffee—during which you can describe your course learning objectives and discuss what you have so far taken away from the class (in brief) Ask the manager what insights she or he has to offer to you at this point in your career.

The goal of the interview is to gain insight into what makes a good manager from the perspective of someone in a management position. Some topics to touch on in the interview could include the following:

How did your interviewee come to be a manager (i.e., what career path she or he followed)?
Has your interviewee found that professional certifications, volunteering, and continued education are important factors to career development?
What has surprised your interviewee most about what it means to be an effective leader (as opposed to the popular view of what a successful leader is and/or does)?
What roles are played by managerial goals, objectives, decision-making, and communication on the job?
How does the interviewee handle change management at his/her organization and what specific challenges has she or he encountered?
What advice does your interviewee offer to someone in your position and with your short- and long-term goals?

At the close of the interview, be sure to thank your interviewee for her or his time and assistance!

Note: Any documentation resulting from personal interviews by students are for the sole purposes of fulfilling a course assignment and will not be used as part of a larger study, published, or distributed outside of the course environment.

Research and Reflection Paper

In the next phase, ruminate on what you learned in your interview—especially anything that helped you to gain a deeper insight into the topics you studied in the course—and write a research and reflection paper in which you draw upon learning shared with your instructor and colleagues, your individual learning, and knowledge you have gained from the interview to demonstrate a more in-depth understanding of the foundational principles of management. In your paper, go beyond recitation of memorized facts or regurgitation of information; strive to synthesize the most important topics of management (i.e., leadership, personality, motivation, decision-making, communication, and the importance of good management to yourself and to society) into a hybrid research and reflection paper.

Your paper should integrate responses to each of the following questions in a well-organized and coherent paper:

What leadership precepts did your interviewee impart to you (or what can you glean on the topic as a result of your interview), and how do those dovetail with one or more of the modern theories of leadership?
How do the personalities of workers, colleagues, managers, and subordinates impact your performance in, and experience of, the workplace? How do they interact with one or more leadership models to create the most effective work environment?
In light of your interview, the leadership model(s) you’ve discussed, and your own personality, what one or two tenets of motivation theory have you taken away from the course?
How do your understandings of motivation theories impact your conceptions of the best practices when it comes to making decisions and communicating at work?
Based on your interview and on learning from this course, what does it take to be an effective employee, a successful manager, and an exemplary citizen of society?

Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:

8-10 pages in length
Formatted according to the APA requirements
Cite at least three scholarly sources, at least one of which is not provided in, or linked from, the course, to support your assertions and strengthen your arguments.

Refer to the Portfolio Project rubric on the Course Information page for grading criteria. Please proofread your paper to ensure the sentences, paragraphs, and ideas flow well and are logical, concise, and grammatically error-free.
