Suppose you are the bank manager who decided to keep a freeze on the Isaacs’ funds for four years. If your actions are guided by the public disclosure test, would you have behaved differently?

What methods would you want to make sure are in place to help with the safeguarding of information?

You are the new IT Manager for the Cougar Corporation, a firm of 500 employees, with 5 buildings located in three different states. Much of the information is critical to the operation of the business and contains key customer information. As the new IT Manager, one of your employees comes to you concerned with the safeguarding of the firm’s information.

As you investigate this issue further, you too are concerned as it does not appear many methods of safeguarding the firm’s information are in place. What methods would you want to make sure are in place to help with the safeguarding of information? What role do you see firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and antivirus systems playing in promoting security?

Write up a memo to your supervisor detailing methods you would like to see implemented across the firm and the role of firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and antivirus systems in promoting better safeguarding of the firm’s information.

What is meant by appreciation and depreciation of a currency? What are some reasons that a currency such as the Philippine peso depreciates?

Philippine Peso Currency

You will summarize the article and analyze its content in terms of our Week 4 study of international financial markets.

Answer the following questions:

What is meant by appreciation and depreciation of a currency? What are some reasons that a currency such as the Philippine peso depreciates? What are the effects of currency depreciation for Philippine exporters, importers and consumers?

The article review should contain a minimum of two citations to at least two distinct authoritative references used.

You must provide a reference list at the end of the article review in addition to including in-text citations in the body of the article review to identify where resources are used.

What makes a good coding strategy? How do we get from a pile of material to convincing typologies?

Both peer reviews should be 540 words.

1. Evaluate in writing the methodology of Spiegel 2010 (540 words)

Think about the set of principles known as ‘grounded theory’. What are these principles, and when are they implemented well? How are they used by Spiegel?

Trainor, Audrey A and Graue, Elizabeth (eds), 2013: Reviewing qualitative research in the social sciences. Routledge. (chapter 8)

Spiegel, Anna, 2010: Contested public spheres. Female activism and identity politics in Malaysia. VS Research.

2. Evaluate in writing the methodology of Varshney 2002 (540 words)

–> for this one, think about the major analytical strategy for qualitative researchers – and one rather more inspired by quantitative research: the coding of data, and the creation of typologies. What makes a good coding strategy? How do we get from a pile of material to convincing typologies? And how best to represent that inherently messy process in writing?

 

Describe how you think the department could increase the fire safety education and community prevention efforts, if possible, within the current budget allotment.

For this paper you are assigned Miami Beach Fire Dept. and will investigate their budget.

Part 1. Report on the overall budget of the fire department. Include the population covered, the size of the department, number of stations, etc. Give an overall view of the department’s budget.

Part 2. Specifically cover the fire prevention portion of the budget. Give a break down of the fire prevention budget and activities. Include the number of personnel, inspection efforts as well as fire safety education and community prevention efforts.

Part 3. Give your opinion on whether or not the fire prevention effort is sufficient for the community. Include your opinion as to whether or not the budget and the associated fire prevention and education efforts are adequate. Describe how you think the department could increase the fire safety education and community prevention efforts, if possible, within the current budget allotment.

Your paper should be a minimum of three pages and should be submitted in APA format. Use your textbook, the internet, professional journals as well as information you gain from personal interviews. You must use a minimum of three sources.

Analyze the experimental error cause and size of errors and their impact.

Dry lab report on (Preparation of Ethyl 4-aminobenzoate)

You should be able to work out a percentage yield for your virtual experiment using the data. You can then compare yield, MP/BP and IR to the expected results in literature.

Background on the molecule you have chosen to synthesize

Mechanism for the synthesis reaction – a diagram and your understanding of it.

Important theory behind the experiment

Should include the following

Method should cover both the synthesis of the molecule and purification of it from any impurities.

Comparison of method or part of method to at least one alternative

Demonstrate understanding of why each step is being carried out

Considerations of Health and safety issues (major points should be clear in the method but an appendix at the end of the report for all chemicals used in the experiment, this includes products and impurities).

Detail of the method you have chosen so that someone else could replicate the method

Results (20%)

Your report should include the following:

Percentage yield calculations using your set of dry data, see separate data sheet for your data set.

Analysis of IR results for your compound including identification of key peaks and possible impurities. This can be for the product and starting compounds.

Analysis of melting point/boiling point data

Discussion and Conclusion (30%)

Should include the following:

Compare results with what you expected to get

Analyze the experimental error cause and size of errors and their impact.

How they could be avoided?

What do the results mean? – link them back to the theory

How do they compare with others work? This should be referenced sources not other data in the results for students.

Link your results back to your objective in your introduction.

Discuss the strengths and limitations of your experiment

What parallels can you draw between the reception of survivors in such wide-ranging geographic contexts, if any?

Jewish life in post-war Europe and beyond

This week, for your post I’d like you to consider the Week 5 readings in their entirety and reflect on the experiences of surviving Jews once they managed to reach different countries– from Eastern Europe to the US, to Australia. As our readings demonstrate, and to put it too overly simply, the experiences were often very negative – and in many cases, Jewish immigrants faced extreme hardship and even continued physical violence, abuse, and antisemitism, particularly in Eastern Europe.

Were any of the revelations in the readings about the reception of survivors in different countries particularly surprising, new or noteworthy? What parallels can you draw between the reception of survivors in such wide-ranging geographic contexts, if any?

Finally, what kinds of possibilities did Jews have to respond to such treatment once they faced these experiences? What choices did they have?
