Assignment

 For this assignment, create a slide deck or written brief that addresses the following 5 topics:  Frame the problem. Utilize your work from Assignment 1 for this topic. Consider incorporating feedback from faculty into your document. Guiding Questions: What is the problem, clearly stated? What are the key variables you will need to study? Who is the stakeholder and what decision will they make based on the analysis results? What are the multiple ways you might solve this problem? What type of analytical story will you want to tell in solving this problem? f. What previous findings or experiences related to this problem are conveyed in the case study, or exist in the business industry?  Solve for demand. Guiding Questions: Barbara has asked you to estimate the demand for Metabical. What are the forecasting options you should contemplate? For each option, what is your estimate of the target market? For each forecasting option, how many packages will the target market buy in year 1? How do the purchasing assumptions change in Year 2? What is your forecasted demand for each of the first 5 years? Which of the forecasting models do you recommend to estimate the demand for Metabical, and why? In addition to your forecast results, what data supports your recommendation? Why is providing sound guidance on expected demand important?  Formulate a sound pricing strategy recommendation. Guiding questions: Barbara has also asked you to evaluate pricing options for the Metabical drug. Which pricing strategy would you recommend, and why? Is there any additional information you need to frame or solve the problem? Based on the demand forecast you chose in question 2, what are the forecasted sales in year 1? What are the forecasted sales in year 2? What are the forecasted sales up to year 5?  Make a sound packaging recommendation. Assume that count size is based on a blister pack of seven (7) tablets that can be in turn packaged into a SKU with 1, 2, or 4 blister packs.   What considerations need to be taken into account when making the packaging decision? What additional data would you want, and what analysis would you perform to be able to better answer this question?  Using your demand forecast and pricing recommendations from questions 2 and 3, estimate CSP’s return on investment (ROI) over a 5-year period that meets the company’s expectations. Guiding Questions: What are your cost assumptions? Do you anticipate any changes in year 2 and beyond? What is your estimate of total costs at the end of 5 years? Calculate the ROI for the Metabical drug. If the ROI achieved is less than 5%, what steps of your analytical process would you need to revisit?

City Budget Analysis
For this assignment, you will select a city budget and then provide an analysis of this budget. Learning how to analyze an existing budget document will help prepare you for creating a budget of your own later in the course. You may choose which city\”s budget to analyze. City budgets are typically available on the city\”s Web site.
The city is: Dothan Alabama
To complete this assignment, first download the budget for the city you selected. Then review the budget summary and details and develop a paper addressing the following:
1.What type of budget format is the city using? Use the formats discussed in the course to identify the budget format. Some city budgets may use more than one budget format. If the selected budget uses more than one format, identity the formats used and indicate which one is dominant.
2.What are the three primary sources of revenue? Cities may rely on a number of revenue sources. For this paper, identify the top three.
3.Prepare a revenue table based on the information gathered in question 2. Create a three-column table: one column for each source identified in question 2. Then include the following as the rows:
1.The source of revenue.
2.The amount of revenue derived from this source.
3.The percentage of total revenue derived from this source.
4.What are the three main expenditure categories for the city? Identify the three main categories based on the amount spent on each item. Common expenditure categories for many cities include public safety, parks and recreation, et cetera.
5.Prepare an expenditure table. Create a three-column table: one column for each expenditure identified in question 4. Include the following as the rows:
1.The object of expenditure.
2.The amount of money spent on that object.
3.The percentage of total expenditures spent on this object.
6.Is the city fiscally solvent? There are many indicators of fiscal solvency. However, at this point in the course, we are most concerned with the balance between revenues and expenditures. Is the city\”s budget balanced? If not, how much of a deficit is the city facing?
Please provide a cover page and a reference page that contains all sources used in the paper.

Essay based on Poe’s “Cask,” O’Connor’s “Good Man,” Faulkner’s “Rose,” Walker’s “The Flowers,” Moody’s “Boys,” Kincaid’s “Girl,” Lon

Project description
1.There is some controversy in literary criticism as to what constitutes a male or female aesthetic. Look back at the stories we have read that deal with girls and boys from the perspective of male and female writers. Do you think there is a distinct difference in the way male and female authors communicate theme, characterization, plot, or style or would you say that while there are differences, these are ARTISTIC choices rather than a matter of discourse gender identity.
2.Poe is credited with being one of the best writers of suspense in English. Assess the plot, setting, characterization, and style of Cask of Amontillado and decide how you would characterize the quality of suspense in this story. How does Poe achieve an emotional response from the reader?
3.The Meyer text includes a section on The Literature of the South (432). Pick an article from this section and test the authors assertions against your reading of Poe, Faulkner, and/or OConnor.
4.Faulkners A Rose for Emily is both an example of suspense and irony, two very different effects. How does Faulkner manage to achieve both in this story? You may want to consider narrative frame and perspective as well as setting, characterization, and style.
5.Flannery OConnor is rather difficult to characterize as a writer. One might say that this is because she combines symbolism and realism so effectively. Pick at least one of her stories and analyze how these two different perspectives on events create either structural and thematic unity or a rather shocking sense of disconnection that could be termed grotesque.
6.The traditional epic focuses on the heros exploits on the battlefield. So why does Hemingway choose to tell the story of The Great War from the perspective of an average soldier who has returned to an ordinary home? What does he gain or lose by the narrative design of Soldiers Home?
7.OBrien models How to Tell a True War Story on Hemingways Soldiers Home. Which would you judge to be the superior story? You should base your criteria for judgment on narrative perspective, plot design, prose style, and theme and perhaps social relevance.
8.In an excerpt from a letter published in Meyer, Anton Chekhov defends his literary technique of objectivity and says that he does not offer a subjective moral judgment of his characters because the image would become blurred and the story will not be as compact as all short stories out to be. When I write, I reckon entirely upon the reader to add for himself the subjective elements that are lacking in the story (205).How does Chekhovs insistence on objective exactitude work in his portrait of the adulterous lovers in The Lady with a Pet Dog?
9.Both Fay Weldon and Dagoberto Glib adopt an ironic perspective on love in their stories. Which writers portrait of love as manipulation rather than romance is more successful? Which writer uses integrates setting, theme, and character most effectively?
10.In his introduction to the central character in To Build a Fire, Jack London describes him as a man without imagination (519). Why is a philosophical perspective on mans place in the universe (519) necessary to an adventure story? How does London use his narrative of the mans consciousness to advance this theme?

Genre Project Proposal

Project description
Targeted Skills (outcome 1, 2&3): understanding audiences and contexts, using evidence from various sources to support writing goals, making persuasive arguments

You task:

In professional and academic situations, proposals are often used as a way to plan larger projects, but also to gain support for them (in the form of money, institutional legibility, and other resources). As such, a successful proposal situates the author as credible and the project as both feasible and valuable.

In the context of your genre project, you will be required to submit a 3-5 page proposal in order to frame your thinking about it. For this part of the project, I will be your audience, and your overall goal is to convince me that your project presents an effective way of reaching your chosen audience through a particular genre and publishing venue. Your proposal will involve the following:

Statement of objective (1-2 pages)

Audience analysis (1-2 pages)

Publishing venue analysis (1-2 pages)

Statement of objective

What are you trying to achieve through this project? This section presents an overview of your scene, topic, genre, audience, and publishing venue. It should give a comprehensive context for your piece, and include the stakes (why this project matters), and why it is important for you to undertake the project.

This sections of your proposal should make a convincing argument about why this project is important for you to complete.

Audience analysis

Once youve determined what scene youd like to respond to, youll need to get to know the audience youre targeting. What age group are they in? What are their interests? How do they typically get their information? Once youve determined what your audience is like, what rhetorical strategies will you use to target them?

This section of your proposal should make an argument about why those rhetorical strategies are appropriate for your audience.

Publishing venue analysis

In order to make the link between your genre piece and your audience more literal, youll need to determine what publishing venues are appropriate to reach your audience. How do the authors of different genres in your scene reach their audience? Through the newspaper? Putting up flyers? Word of mouth? Speeches? Song lyrics? The radio? Film screenings? Leaving brochures in an office or a coffee shop? Posting a web page? Sending a message out on a listserv?

This section of your proposal should make an argument about why this publishing venue is the best way to reach your chosen audience through your chosen genre.

Project description
Pharmacology: A Case Study in Polypharmacy

Case Study:

Mrs A is a 71 year old widow with CCF and osteoarthritis who has recently been exhibiting quite unusual behaviour. Her daughter is concerned about her mother’s ability to remain independent and wishes to pursue nursing home admission arrangements. She fears the development of a dementing illness. Over the last two to three months Mrs A has become confused, easily fatigued and very irritable. She has developed disturbing obsessive/compulsive behaviour constantly complaining that her lace curtains were dirty and required frequent washing. Detailed questioning revealed that she thought they were yellow-green and possibly mouldy. Her prescribed medications are:

* Furosemide 40 mg daily in the morning

* Digoxin 250 micrograms daily

* Paracetamol 500 mg, 1-2 tablets 4-hourly PRN

* Piroxicam 20 mg at night

* Mylanta suspension, 20 ml PRN

* Coloxyl 120 mg, 1-2 tablets at night

Critically discuss this case study in terms of the problematic nature of this patient’s pharmacological management.

Outline some pharmacokinetic changes in the geriatric population that may affect drug disposition.
Outline how changes in renal and hepatic function may affect treatment strategies.

In the mentioned drug regimen what are the potential interactions if any?

Discuss potential side effects of the drugs indicated in the regimen.

Your answer should include a discussion of the problems of polypharmacy as it is related to this case study and the assessment/management and educational strategies which could have been implemented to improve the outcome of Mrs A.

Taylor Dispersion Report

Project description
What you have to do first is read the REFERENCES I will attach, and also you can use your references as well my topic proposal is Taylor Dispersion and from my references there are three articles that can help you to find the problem here is the name of the articles “DaouExam question-and solution, DaouTaylorAxisym problem solution, Taylor 1953, Taylor1954” These are my focus, and you can use the rest of my references to help you to write my proposal topic. Note: all your references MUST be articles, not books. Now here is the details instruction I want you to do after reading all my articles.

Literature review

literature review of the subject,
which will be a report outlining the background reading material for the project, and perhaps some preliminary mathematics and a plan for what you intend to accomplish in the thesis.

The report must be no longer than 15 pages , including all figures, appendices, references, etc.
Allocate chapters as you see fit.
Two reasons for doing this report are (1) so that you can get some practice at writing
reports before your full dissertation and get some good feedback on this and (2) so that you can get a firm plan in your mind about what you will do in your dissertation. It will also mean that you will have done a sufficient amount of background reading so that you can get going properly on your dissertation straight after exams.

The report should illustrate that you have done some of this reading. You should describe the topic in your own words. This may include describing an important result from a paper and how you will use or modify this in order to solve the problem that you will look at on your dissertation. You are welcome to do some additional theory, numerical simulations, etc. The exact nature of the report is up to you.
Please do not just lift/copy text from papers/books. This does not illustrate understanding, and will be picked up by the plagiarism detector in Turnitin.

Restrictions on the report
Please keep margins etc. as they are. Maximum number of pages is 15 including figures, appendices and references.
