Many companies are using social media to advertise, collect information, or gather background on individuals. Do you think this is ethical?

Social networking Web sites create online communities of Internet users that eliminate barriers created by time, distance, and cultural differences. These sites allow people to interact with others online by sharing opinions, insights, information, interests, and experiences. Members may use the site to interact with friends, family members, and colleagues they already know, but that they may also wish to develop new personal and professional relationships on the sites.Social network advertising uses social networks to inform, promote, and communicate the benefits of products and services, and there are several advertising strategies. Banner ads on social networks can either be displayed to each visitor to the Web site or by using the information in user profiles, directed toward those members who would likely find the product most appealing. People frequently make decisions based on input from their close group of friends and advertising and use an individual’s network of friends. Company-owned social networking websites allow users to talk about new products, services, or improvements they would like to see and the company can implement customer-submitted ideas. Viral marketing is where users pass along a marketing message to others, creating the potential for exponential growth.Many companies are using social media to advertise, collect information, or gather background on individuals.

Explain how MI can be applied to clinical practice.

Motivational interviewing (MI) is a psychotherapeuticmethod that was developed by William Miller and StephenRollnick, originally described in 1983 (Miller, 1983). Millerand Rollnick (2002) define MI as “a client-centered, directivemethod for enhancing intrinsic motivation to change byexploring and resolving ambivalence.” Its original applicationwas in substance abuse treatment with adults, where it wasdeveloped in response to confrontational methods used inthis field during the 1970s and 1980s. Since then, it has beenused in many different areas, including “general medical care,health promotion, social work and corrections” (Miller Rollnick, 2002, p. xiv)– Explore your reactions to the readings and to what you have learned about Motivational Interviewing (MI). Explain howMI can be applied to clinical practice.-Write one independent paragraph that includes a reference, explaining how Motivational Interviewing can be used by a psychiatric nurse practitioner to help a specific patient (for example, a drug addict or alcoholic patient that is non-complaining with his or her medications) and what considerations you need to be aware of to achieve success.Responses will be checked by Turnitin for originality. It should be a minimum of 350 words, scholarly written, APA formatted, and referenced.

Explain how the accounting method the company uses affects the financial statements.

training manual (2-3 pages) to ensure new hires have a solid understanding of income statements, balance sheets, and the elements that go into them.IntroductionThis portfolio work project will help you to not only better understand commonly used accounting tools, but it will also give you the opportunity to use your skills and experience by preparing training materials to train someone else.ScenarioYou work for an organization that is seeking growth and recently has hired new district managers to assist in this growth. In talking to other regional managers, you have heard that some district managers do not have a thorough understanding of commonly used accounting tools including an income statement and balance sheet. You have a new district manager hire, John, and see the need to do some training with him so he has a solid understanding of income statements, balance sheets, and the elements that go into them, including advertising costs, Web development costs, and store opening costs.In preparing to train your new hire, you have determined that the use of examples (a picture is worth a thousand words) can be a great approach to use. So you have decided to gather some examples from the company’s summary of significant accounting policies from its latest financial statements.You may apply this scenario to either Option 1 or Option 2, described in Requirements below.Your RoleYou are a regional manager for Urban Outfitters or your selected organization and oversee a number of districts. You have recently brought a new district manager on board and want to ensure he has the knowledge and tools needed to effectively do his job.RequirementsOption 1:The organization you work for is Urban Outfitters. Use the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissionwebsite to find the Urban Outfitter’s 2016–2017 financial statement’s summary of significant accounting policies. Look at the data for 2015, 2016, and 2017 for the following examples of essential elements you need to cover with John and ensure his understanding.Advertising. Examine the criteria used to expense and capitalize advertising costs and where these costs appear in the financial statement.Store opening costs. Examine how store opening and organization costs were handled and where these costs appear in the financial statement.Website development costs. Examine the approaches taken during the application and infrastructure development stage and the planning and operating stage.Option 2:Use a firm or scenario of your choosing.Before choosing a company, read the assessment thoroughly to ensure:The company fits the assessment requirements.You have access to the financial statement’s summary of significant accounting policies and the Note disclosures from which you are drawing your materials. Include this information in the appendix for reference.You can distribute the data without disclosing confidential company information.Training MaterialsAs you prepare your training materials for John, use the examples you collected from the company’s Notes to financial documents to illustrate how you address the following items:Explain how one or more of the following costs are captured:Advertising.Store opening. If store opening costs were capitalized, over what time period would you amortize them? Explain why you selected this time period.Website development.Analyze the importance of Notes to financial statements in interpreting financial statements.Explain how the accounting method the company uses affects the financial statements.Explain how the financial statements would differ if another method were used to capture the costs.If you have a preference for capitalizing or expensing these costs, explain why it is your preference.Deliverable FormatLeadership has asked that you develop either a training deck or a training manual that you will use with John and that can be deployed with other new hires as well. Regardless of the format selected, the information should address the points identified above and with detailed explanations within the notes areas of slides or within the training manual text. It will also be helpful to include information in regard to why each item is important to the organization as well as the success of the new district manager.To use your time and John’s time wisely, be conscientious about providing thorough yet concise information. These materials are expected to be used by others for future training needs, so make sure they are well organized and clear.Training materials requirements:2-3 pages for a training manual.Related company standards for either format:The training manual is a professional document and should therefore follow the corresponding MBA Academic and Professional Document Guidelines, including single-spaced paragraphs.To learn more about creating presentations, click “MBA Program Resources” and then “Presentation Skills.”In addition to the training deck or manual materials, include:Title (slide or page).References (slide or page).Appendix with supporting materials.

Which rate of inflation accounts for the substitution bias?

VERSION 2019 and 2020 (LATEST)VERSION 2020:Use the information below to answer questions 1-6 Consider an economy that produces only two goods: fresh apricots and dried apricots. In this economy, the technology of producing dried apricots is to place fresh apricots on special racks and allow them to dry in the sun. Fannie’s Farms is the only company that grows fresh apricots, while Darryl’s Dried Victuals is the only producer of dried apricots. Fannie’s sells some of its apricots directly to consumers for consumption.

Nominal GDP for 2012 $13. Assuming that 2011 is the base year, real GDP for 2011 is $14. Assuming that 2011 is the base year, real GDP for 2012 is $15. Again assuming that 2011 is the base year, the GDP deflator for 2011 is16. Again assuming that 2011 is the base year, the GDP deflator for 2012 is17. The rate of economic growth between the two years as defined by the percent change real GDP is18. The rate of inflation between the two years is19. Let’s consider some data on nominal GDP and GDP price deflator from the Federal Reserve Database:Using the data in the table above, real GDP is equal to $__________.20. During the 1973-1975 recession, GDP growth was about -3% and the percent change in prices was about 13%. This combination of GDP growth and percent change in prices is referred to as:21. Which of the following cause the unemployment rate as measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to understate the true extent of joblessness?22.

Notes:-June 2009 is the last month of the Great recession – the official recovery, began in July of 2009 -expected inflation data is one year hence, so expected inflation for the period from June 1, 2008 to June 1, 2009 is given in June 2008. So the data in the table indicates that in June of 2008, inflation was expected to be 5.1% over the next 12 months28. 29. Use the provided CPI data to calculate the actual inflation rate that occurred between June 2008 and June 2009 (hint: just calculate the % change in the CPI).30. The ex-ante real rate of interest between June 2008 and June 2009 is:31. The ex-post real rate of interest between June 2008 and June 2009 is:32. We know that most decisions are in part, based on expectations of the future. Suppose we have two people who are trying to decide whether to consume today (assume it is currently June 2008) or save for the future and consume one year later, in June 2009. One person, let’s call him Joe, is basing his decision on the ex-ante real rate of interest like most of us do. The other person who has a crystal ball, we’ll call her Crystal, can see exactly what the actual rate of inflation is going to be and thus, has perfect foresight and bases her decision on the ex-post real rate. Look at the difference in the ex-ante and ex-post real rates you calculated in #25 and #26 above. Who would be more likely to save and who would be more likely to spend?33.

Using Allegheny county as the base county, if you are currently making $75,000 per year in Centre county, how much would you need to make in Chester county to have same purchasing power as you have in Centre county?37. A friend of mine came to Penn State in the 1970s and told me that sticky buns at the College Diner cost $.75 (75 cents) in December of 1976. The CPI in December of 1976 was 58.4 and in December of 2012, the CPI was 230.979. Use this CPI data and assuming that the price of sticky buns rose in exact proportion to the CPI, what would the price of sticky buns have to be in December of 2012 so that the ‘real price’ of sticky buns remained constant?38. Government spending on transfer payments is included in government purchases when calculating GDP because it results in the production of new goods and services.39.

identify which aspects (or operants) of your strategy represent positive reinforcers, negative reinforcers, and/or punishers.

A classic example of bullying is a scenario in which a much larger, stronger bully physically intimidates and harasses a smaller, weaker victim to steal the victim’s lunch money. You might think that the obvious solution to the bullying in this example is to punish the bully to prevent the behavior from reoccurring. It would be nice if the solution were that simple, but it often is not. The bully may receive gains from the behavior (positive reinforcement; e.g., money to buy more food at lunch or respect from peers) that outweigh the punishment. Furthermore, if the bullying has occurred over a length of time with the same victim, the victim may also develop a conditioned response. For example, suppose that the school bell signaling that it is lunch time rings just before the bully approaches the victim for his lunch money. Initially the bell is a neutral stimulus that produces no specific response. Over time, the victim may associate the bell with the fear response of being bullied, such that the bell alone triggers a fear response in the potential victim. Now the bell is a conditioned stimulus because it elicits a conditioned response.Classical and operant conditioning can be used to understand why bullying occurs, as illustrated in the previous example, and to design effective interventions to reduce bullying behavior. In this discussion, you will use classical or operant conditioning to propose a strategy to mitigate bullying.To Prepare:Review this week’s Learning Resources on the behaviorist perspective and classical and operant conditioning.Pay particular attention to the meaning of the terms in each type of conditioning. Classical conditioning terms include: UCS (unconditioned stimulus), UCR (unconditioned response), NS (neutral stimulus), CS (conditioned stimulus), CR (conditioned response). Operant conditioning terms include positive reinforcers, and negative reinforcers, and punishers.Select one conditioning approach and use it to propose a strategy to mitigate bullying.Operationalize the characteristics of your strategy. For example, if you selected the classical approach, identify which aspects of your strategy represent the UCS, UCR, NS, CS, and CR. If you selected the operant approach, identify which aspects (or operants) of your strategy represent positive reinforcers, negative reinforcers, and/or punishers.

discuss why quantitative analysis is important for describing data sets and presenting distribution information.

The Quantitative Analysis Approach [WLO: 1] [CLO: 1]For this discussion, begin by reviewing the technique of quantitative analysis in your textbook. Then, keeping this technique in mind, read the following quotes:“Data do not give up their secrets easily. They must be tortured to confess.”—Jeff Hopper, Bell Labs“Statistics is a body of methods for learning from experience.”—Lincoln Moses“The time may not be very remote when it will be understood that for complete initiation as an efficient citizen of one of the new great complex worldwide states that are now developing, it is as necessary to be able to compute, to think in averages and maxima and minima, as it is now to be able to read and write.”—H.G. Wells“The coming century is surely the century of data.”—David Donoho (2000)“Another mistaken notion connected with the law of large numbers is the idea that an event is more or less likely to occur because it has or has not happened recently. The idea that the odds of an event with a fixed probability increase or decrease depending on recent occurrences of the event is called the gambler’s fallacy. For example, if Kerrich landed, say, 44 heads in the first 100 tosses, the coin would not develop a bias towards the tails in order to catch up! That’s what is at the root of such ideas as ‘her luck has run out’ and ‘he is due.’ That does not happen. For what it’s worth, a good streak doesn’t jinx you, and a bad one, unfortunately, does not mean better luck is in store.”?Leonard Mlodinow, The Drunkard’s Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives“A certain elementary training in statistical method is becoming as necessary for everyone living in this world of today as reading and writing.”?H.G. Wells, World Brain“The non-scientist in the street probably has a clearer notion of physics, chemistry and biology than of statistics, regarding statisticians as numerical philatelists, mere collector of numbers.”?Stephen Senn, Dicing with Death: Chance, Risk and HealthQuotes retrieved from www.goodreads.com/quotes/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93q=statisticscommit=Search (Links to an external site.)Based on the above quotes, along with this week’s assigned readings and Instructor Guidance, discuss why quantitative analysis is important for describing data sets and presenting distribution information.
