explain how the environmental influence might positively or negatively affect the development of a fetus with the genetic influence you selected.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND GENETIC IMPACT ON FETAL DEVELOPMENT

Both environmental and genetic influences impact fetal development. Some substances (e.g., folic acid, hormones, etc.) have the biggest influence at sensitive periods during gestation. Early in gestation, when neurological development is at its peak, folic acid is most important. Hormones, such as androgen and estrogen, are necessary for external genital differentiation between 9 and 12 weeks of gestation. Prenatal alcohol exposure, however, can impact fetal growth at any time during gestation. On the other hand, environmental influences such as maternal genetics, nutrition, health, and immunization can have a positive impact on fetal development, mitigating the impact of substances and other negative influences. In addition to environmental influences, you must also consider the impact of genetic influences. Genes determine not only an individual’s physical features at birth—they also contribute to hormonal processes throughout the lifespan. The interaction of environmental influences and genetic influences impacts the development of a fetus.For this Discussion, you will examine environmental and genetic influences on fetal development.Post a brief description of the genetic influence and the environmental influence you selected. Then, explain how the environmental influence might positively or negatively affect the development of a fetus with the genetic influence you selected. Be specific and provide examples. Use your Learning Resources to support your post. Use proper APA format and citations.

How does a diversification strategy benefit a company competing in a domestic vs. global market?

When a business competes locally, it primarily needs to consider the factors that affect the local community. As it expands, so do the factors for consideration. One region may respond to a product differently than another because an existing product is already in place. Have you ever traveled to a different state and found that gas stations and convenience store chains are different than what you are used to in your state? Or, perhaps you have had the experience of moving across the country and being unable to find your favorite restaurant chain in the new location. A southern BBQ may face more competitors in South Carolina than in New Jersey and would therefore need to create a different strategy to create a competitive advantage. Considerations such as this are further compounded when a company aims to compete in the global market. Not only will the competitive landscape be much different, but aspects such as people’s general preferences, tax laws, and governmental regulations may be drastically different from one country to the next. As the company competes in multiple countries, it may need to work with the variables of each company as well. 

In this Discussion, you will identify a company and examine which strategies you would recommend for how it can effectively reach a domestic and global market.

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Review this week’s Learning Resources on competing globally and diversification.
  • Select a company that you are familiar with or to which you have access to information. You should have access to information about the types of products/services the company offers, its industry, the size of the company, and where it is located (or where it operates).
  • Review the Academic Writing Expectations: Capstone Courses document, provided in this week’s Learning Resources. 

Competing Globally and Diversification

As companies grow, they often expand into new areas. These “areas” can be geographical, such as in a new region or country, or they can be something else, such as into a new product or industry. As companies spread their horizons, it is important that they factor in aspects of globalization and diversification in their strategies. These resources explore aspects of diversification and competing globally. 

Post a 225- to 300-word (3- to 4-paragraph) analysis of the strategic approaches that businesses can take for domestic and global competition. In your analysis, include the following:

  • Briefly describe your selected company, including its industry; whether it offers products, services, or both; the size of the company; and where it is located or where it operates (if multiple locations).
  • For your selected company, which approaches do you think are most effective for reaching a domestic market? What about for a global market? Why do those differences exist?
  • How does a diversification strategy benefit a company competing in a domestic vs. global market? What, if any, differences exist between the two?
  • To support your response, be sure to reference at least one properly cited scholarly source.
Discuss different ways that MFTs have approached working with diverse clients.
  • Discuss different ways that MFTs have approached working with diverse clients.
  • Use your own words to define cultural humility.
  • Reflect on the readings for this week and cultural humility. Then, identify one concept or idea that you have taken away from this that you could integrate into your work as an MFT.
  • Consider a scenario in which a client is “different” in a way that you might find yourself reactive to (this could be based on any “difference”: physical, socioeconomic, sexual orientation, gender, belief system, political stance, etc.). Discuss this possible difference and why you feel it causes reactivity within you.
  • Consider the same scenario and reflect on how you feel you could best address this reactivity within yourself.

what role, if any, does Manifest Destiny play in how the United States deals with other nations and conflicts today?

About This Assignment

In this assignment you will demonstrate your understanding of one of the key political philosophies that has driven American expansion and policies since the early 1800s, Manifest Destiny.

Prompt

In this course, you learned about the reasons behind the founding of the original colonies and the subsequent expansion across the North American continent of what was to become the United States. A major influence was Manifest Destiny. For this assignment, you must write a 1,750 – 2,00-word paper which explores how the concept of Manifest Destiny shaped the early expansion of the United States in North America and its later influence on relations between the United States and other nations.

Use these guiding questions to plan your essay:

· In the early years of the colonies how did the colonists use an idea similar to Manifest Destiny to support their colonization of lands belonging to other groups?

· In the 1800s how did Manifest Destiny play a role in the expansion of control of the United States across the continent? And, what type of response did this elicit from the current occupants of the territories? Provide 2 -3 examples.

· In the 19th and 20th centuries how did this belief in Manifest Destiny influence American involvement in regional and global geopolitics? Provide 2 – 3 examples.

· And finally, what role, if any, does Manifest Destiny play in how the United States deals with other nations and conflicts today?

Your essay must include a cohesive and defensible thesis statement.

Formatting & Sources

Please write your paper in the APA format. You may refer to the course material for supporting evidence, but you must also use at least three credible, outside sources and cite them using APA format. Please include a mix of both primary and secondary sources, with at least one source from a scholarly peer-reviewed journal. If you use any Study.com lessons as sources, please also cite them in APA (including the lesson title and instructor’s name).

How do you think the manager of electrical engineering should respond to this situation?

Project Manager

Word-Tech is a medium-sized firm that designs and manufactures electronic

systems for the mass transit industry. It competes with other firms to win contracts to

provide such systems. When Word-Tech receives a contract, it creates a project to

complete the work. Most projects range from $10 million to $50 million in cost and

from one to three years in duration. Word-Tech can have 6-12 projects going on at

any one time, in various stages of completion some just starting and others finishing.

Word-Tech has a handful of project managers who report to the general manager;

other people report to their functional manager. For example, the electronics

engineers all report to the manager of electrical engineering, who reports to the

general manager. The functional manager assigns particular individuals to work on

various projects. Some people work full time on a project, whereas others split their

time among two or three projects. Although individuals are assigned to work for a

project manager on a specific project, administratively they still report to their

functional manager.

Jack Kowalski has been with the company for about 12 years, since graduating

from college with a BS in electronic engineering. He has worked his way up to senior

electronics engineer and reports to the manager of electrical engineering. He has

worked on many projects and is well respected within the company. Jack has been

asking for an opportunity to be a project manager. When Word-Tech is awarded a $15

million contract to design and manufacture an advanced electronics system, the

general manager promotes Jack to project manager and asks him to run this project.

Jack works with the functional managers to get the best people available assigned

to the project. Most of the people are buddies who have worked with Jack on previous

projects. However, with Jack s position as senior electronics engineer vacant, the

manager of electrical engineering has no one with the appropriate level of expertise

to assign to Jack s project. So the manager hires a new person, Alfreda Bryson. Lured

away from a competitor, Alfreda has a Ph.D. in electronic engineering and eight years

experience. She was able to command a high salary more than Jack is making. She is

assigned to Jack s project full time as the senior electronics engineer.

Jack takes a special interest in Alfreda s work and asks to meet with her to discuss

her design approaches. Most of these meetings turn into monologues, with Jack

suggesting how Alfreda should do the design and paying little attention to what she

says.

Finally, Alfreda asks Jack why he is spending so much more time reviewing her

work than that of the other engineers on the project. He responds, “I don t have to

check theirs. I know how they work. I’ve worked with them on other projects. You re

the new kid on the block, and I want to be sure you understand the way we do things

here, which may be different than at your previous employer.”

On another occasion, Alfreda shows Jack what she thinks is a creative design

approach that will result in a lower-cost system. Jack tells her, “I don t even have a

Ph.D. and I can see that that won’t work. Don’t be so esoteric; just stick to basic sound

engineering.”

During a business trip with Dennis Freeman, another engineer assigned to the

project who has known Jack for six years, Alfreda tells him that she is frustrated with

the way Jack treats her. Jack is acting more like the electronics engineer for the project

than the project manager, she tells Dennis. Besides, I have forgotten more about

designing electronics than Jack ever knew! He really isn’t up to date on electronic

design methodologies. discuss the matter with the manager of electrical engineering

and that she would never have taken the job with Word-Tech if she had known it was

going to be like this.

CASE QUESTIONS

1. Do you think Jack is ready to serve as a project manager? Why or why not?

How could Jack have prepared for his new role?

2. What is the major problem with the way Jack interacts with Alfreda?

3. Why do you think Alfreda has not had an open discussion with Jack about the

way he is treating her? If Alfreda approaches Jack directly, how do you think

he will respond?

4. How do you think the manager of electrical engineering should respond to this situation?

5. What should be done to remedy the situation?

6. What could have been done to prevent the situation?

What was James Madison’s central concern in Federalist 10?

Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison wrote eighty-five articles supporting ratification of the Constitution.  The writers’ two-fold purpose was to defend the principles of the Constitution and gain support in the New York ratification vote.  Today, The Federalist Papers serve as an original source of interpretation of the Constitution by the Founders.  They are for all intents and purposes a window into the minds of the creators of our government. 
Read Federalist 10 by James Madison.  As you read, take notes listing Madison’s key points, such as his reason for writing the article and what he proposed.  Next, move to the quiz and answer the four questions.
1.  What was James Madison’s central concern in Federalist 10?
2.  What remedy did Madison seek?
3.  As in Federalist 51, Madison in Federalist 10 referred to the advantages of a large republic.  Explain his support for a large republic over a pure democracy.
4.  How is his remedy useful in today’s civic culture?

Which order policy (Quantity ordered) should be used as per the expectation alone and according to the variability depicted by the profit percentiles?

Please answer the following question:
In August, the national coffee store Farbucks needs to decide how many holiday-editions insulated coffee mugs to order. Because the mugs are dated, those unsold by January 15 are considered a loss. These premium mugs sell for $25.95 and cost $9.75 each. Farbucks is uncertain of the demand. They believe the market demand is normally distributed with a mean of and a standard deviation of σ. Any unsold mugs are discounted and sold for $5 each. Farbucks are also interested in the opportunity costs which usually happen when demand is unmet. Assume Farbucks assigns $3.00 to each unmet-demand insulated coffee mug as the additional opportunity cost due to future lost sales. For example, if Farbucks ordered 650 mugs and 700 are demanded, 50 mugs are the unmet demand and $150 is the additional opportunity cost. Incorporate this additional cost into your model and attempt the following:
Build a deterministic model in Excel.
Simulate the model using @risk and plot a graph for the expected profit vs. order quantity along with the 5th percentile and 95th percentiles profit points. The graph should be similar to the graph in the simulation example excel file (sheet 2). Show the table that has been used to plot the graph.
Which order policy (Quantity ordered) should be used as per the expectation alone and according to the variability depicted by the profit percentiles?
