Publically Traded company

You will be researching one publically traded company throughout the semester. The publicly
traded companies to choose from are:
Nike, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google, Disney World, GM, Ford, JC Penney, Kohl’s,
and United Airlines.
The following are the instructions for the Application Assignment:
 Your paper must be a minimum of 250 words, double spaced.
 Your Application Assignments will be in APA format and include writing a narrative or
abstract, at least 1 reference and sources will be cited within the paper
 Find an article (or Articles) that relates your company to any two concepts, topics
and/or terms that we are studying each week.
Example of a concept, topic and term:
Topic: Motivational Theories (this is the overarching subject matter of a section of your reading)
Concept: Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (this is one of the areas being discussed that relates to
the overarching subject matter of that same section of reading)
Term: Physiological Needs (This is a very specific term that is used within the concept)
When you are finding an article, then look for something that addresses any of the above or any
combination of the above.
You may find that there are incidences when you need to find two articles to complete the
Application Assignment.
The Annual Report for your company may also be used instead of an article
 Please go into specific details about your chosen concepts, topics or terms to
demonstrate an understanding of how they relate to your company
 You must bold and underline those two concepts, topics and/or terms
 Application Assignment Total: 10 points

Discuss Fixed assets

Discuss fixed assets and cost determination in financial statements. Provide examples of fixed assets.

Clinical discussions called Grand rounds

This week you participate in the second of three clinical discussions called grand rounds. In one of these 3 weeks, you will be a presenter as well as help facilitate the online discussion; in the others you will be an active discussion participant.
When it is your week to present, you will create a focused SOAP note and a short didactic (teaching) video presenting a real (but de-identified) complex patient case from your practicum experience.

Disruptive innovations

Disruptive innovations make products/services accessible and affordable. What products do you use (other than computers or cell phones) that could be considered disruptive innovations and why? Please explain in detail.

Recombinant DNA Study

Module 9C Recombinant DNA Study guide and Extra credit. This is Extra credit homework Create it for your own study guide

What is the cloning advantage to have a polylinker in the vector?

___ (1 pt)

Why is transformed E.coli resistant to ampicillin?

___ (1 pt)

Do the drawings and answer the questions posed on the next slides

 

Procedure for cloning a recombinant protein

Combine measured amounts of the DNA insert with the vector, and add ligase. Incubate. Sticky ends align and ligase sews it up

Draw a picture of the new plasmid, using different colors for the vector and the DNA insert. (1 pt)

Most of the original plasmid will reform with itself. Draw that. Make a notation of the ampicillin resistance gene. (1 pt)

 

Procedure for cloning a recombinant protein

Transform the recombinant plasmid mixture into competent E.coli. And plate the mixture on a plate with Ampicillin

If nothing grows on that plate, there can be 2 causes. What are they? (1 pt) __

How can you tell which was the cause (what control should you run)? (1 pt) __

 

What happens to the LacZ gene?

Draw the pBluescript plasmid, and highlight the LacZ gene in blue.

Redraw the plasmid with a DNA insert that is 500 bp long. Be sure to change the LacZ gene in your drawing. 1 pt for the 2 pictures in your answer.

 

LacZ (2 pts for this slide)

What enzyme is produced by the LacZ gene?

What does that enzyme do to X-gal?

Which colonies in the figure have plasmid transformants?

Which colonies have the DNA insert?

Vectors (1 pt for this slide)

Name 2 limitations to using plasmid vectors and E. coli cloning

__

__

What type of vector can replicate in E. coli and other species as well?

__

International Internship program

The Chairwoman of the Board of Directors has selected you to lead the effort to create an international internship program for your organization. You will be leading a cross-cultural virtual team, including the vice president (VP) of human resources and department heads from all areas of the organization from its locations throughout the United States. The team is responsible for developing a 3-month summer program for 50 international interns.

The international interns will be selected from university programs in their home countries, will travel to the organization’s U.S. locations, will live and work in the United States, and then may have the potential to be offered a permanent position with the organization.

Using the course resources and the CTU Library, research global organizational culture and respond to the following questions:

  • What best practices do you recommend for leading a virtual cross-cultural team?
  • How will the organization onboard the interns and introduce them to U.S. culture?
  • What are the benefits of the international internship program to the interns and to the organization?

Provide a reference list at the end of your primary task response of up to 3 resources, and include in-text citations for them in APA 7 format.

Value-based Models of payment

Due to decreased funding caused by value-based models of payment, accountable care organization payment and bundled care payment, discuss the following:

  • What is the impact that these new payment models will have on Krona’s revenue.
  • Address the possible issues surrounding next year’s forecasting.
  • Discuss the challenges, benefits, and risks in utilizing capitation.

References in APA 7 format
