Sex determination is explained based on different philosophies. In humans, sex is determined based on chromosomes, the X and Y chromosomes. However, unlike humans, the determination of the sex of fish does not depend on the chromosomes. There are several factors that could influence sex. Temperature is a common factor. Certain temperature ranges favor females over males sex and vice versa. These factors could influence sex determination, hence it is very flexible. These factors are said to influence the fate of both somatic and germ cells. In this case, if the group of fish has the same or identical genome but is incubated at varying temperatures, they will have different sexes.

A printing company created and installed a Management Information System in 1990 to meet the business objectives of a commercial environment that at the time was defined by:

-a single profit center with a unified framework
-100% internal resourcing of supplementary services -central direction from senior managers
-the use of only full-time permanent personnel -customers with vast inventory who were willing to accept long delivery times
-The majority of the work was for established large publishing houses with extensive print runs.
The following results have emerged from a radical transformation in the corporate environment:

-the creation of a divisional-sized framework with four profit centers that share resources.
-Team leaders’ empowerment and delegated decision-making
-a significant amount of work is outsourced

-a large percentage of employees are part-time or on temporary contracts -customers increasingly frequently use JIT systems, which necessitate fast inventory replenishment -the average customer requires specialized low-volume but sophisticated high-value printing
Required:

Recommend making considerable adjustments to management information systems to suit the demands of this new circumstance. Explain why you made the recommendations you did.

Consider the energy systems an 800m track athlete would use during a race. In a scenario where the runner has completed an adequate warm-up, their aerobic system is heightened and meeting the energy demands they’re putting on their body, prior to beginning the race.

During the first 400m of the race, they feel strong and quick, why? What are the energy systems their body is using? (Hint: there are 3, remember they have completed a warm-up).

As the runner approaches the last 200m of the race, they begin to slow down. Why?

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity today. Describe how resistance to an antimicrobial agent initially arises and then persists in a population. Next, consider how environments harboring a large number of different microbes, like wastewater treatment plants, or the gut microbiome, can be considered hot spots for the spread of antimicrobial resistance. How can antimicrobial resistance be spread to different organisms? Describe the mechanisms involved in the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance in detail.

Business intelligence is an umbrella term for many types of data analysis. Descriptive analytics can be used to depict current business conditions and provide new insights into the current environment. This type of analysis typically includes a dashboard with a big-picture summary of data and the ability to drill down to ever-increasing levels of detail. Diagnostic analytics can help to answer the question of why certain patterns exist in the descriptive data by seeking statistical correlations of cause and effect. Predictive analytics examines the historical patterns associated with descriptive analysis and the reasons for those patterns from the diagnostic analysis to predict future business activities. Predictive analytics include a combination of big data, business intelligence, and machine learning, which is a form of artificial intelligence. Prescriptive analytics are used to make recommendations based on predictive analysis.

Use the business you chose in week 1 for this assignment. On the discussion board, you provided an example of the use of big data for your business. In this paper, you will describe additional uses. If your business has a low-cost strategy, explain how the various forms of data analytics could help to keep the costs of products and services low. (Note: companies that manufacture their own products will have a different analysis from companies that are resellers.) If your business has a differentiation strategy, explain how data analytics could help your business to continue to provide distinctive products given changing market conditions and evolving tastes. If your business has a focused strategy, explain how data analytics could help to better serve a market niche or a specific customer base. Make sure you consider where you will get the data for your analysis. You should provide examples of descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive analytics for your business. Please be specific.
