The project will focus on the history of places in the UAE. Students should select one place in their home city or elsewhere and trace the history of that place from pre-oil times to the present. Your research will investigate how that area/place looked in the past and how it has changed. You will also look at how people of the area lived and their lives changed: Did they stay in that area after oil? Did they move? What jobs did they have in the past? Do they still do the same work?

Referencing: the information listed should be referenced using APA in-text citation, and should include all the references used.

The focus of this case study is on initiation of drinking as an adolescent  in the United States.  Even more specifically, you will focus on binge drinking as a rite of passage in Greek systems (fraternities and/or sororities).

Read the articles located below and write a response that describes:

-The public health perspective about the risk behavior (facts and figures demonstrating the risk and impact of the risk on morbidity and mortality to self and others, property, etc.);
-The meditating social and cultural factors influencing the behavior;
-Primary perceived risk (by specific individuals); in other words, why do individuals engage in binge drinking whats at stake if they abstain?

For each of the two cases, identify one substantial ethical concern associated with the case’s context, with a theory or theories that might reasonably be used to describe or address the context, or with a method that might be used to understand communication practices at work. Focus on the small group and organizational communication parts of these cases.

his week we are looking at a variety of social policy issues, but will specifically address poverty in our discussion.

(1) What factors contribute to poverty in the United States?

(2) Are existing welfare policies effective in combating poverty?  Why or why not?

(3) What policy reforms would you recommend?

As you present your argument, please address issues of prevention, education and access to social services as it relates to welfare policies.  You should also incorporate information about welfare reform under the Clinton, Bush, and Obama administrations.

Note: Be sure that you have completed and proofread your work before posting.  You will not be able to edit your work once it has been submitted.

Analytical Prompt (BAC A): In a speech given to the Norwegian Association for Women’s Rights in 1898, Ibsen insisted that he “must disclaim the honor of having consciously worked for the women’s rights movement,” since he wrote “without any conscious thought of making propaganda,” his task having been “the description of humanity.” In your opinion, could Ibsen be considered a feminist (aka someone who believes that men and women should be equal)?

Description:
Operations Research (OR) is the discipline of applying advanced analytical methods to help make better decisions. By using various techniques such as mathematical modelling, statistics, and optimization algorithms, OR gives executives the power to analyze complex systems and to make more effective decisions to build highly productive systems.
To achieve these results, OR professionals draw upon the latest analytical technologies, including:
Probability and Statistics: helping measure risk, mine data to find valuable connections and insights, test conclusions, and make reliable forecasts
Optimization: narrowing choices to the very best when there are virtually innumerable feasible options and comparing them is difficult
Simulation: giving the ability to try out approaches and test ideas for improvement
Some examples in which OR is used are:
Locating a warehouse or distributions centre to deliver materials to reduce transportation costs
Production planning
Scheduling: personnel, machines, project tasks
Managing the ow of raw material and products in a supply chain
Designing the layout of a factory for efficient ow of materials
Constructing a telecommunications network
Determining the routes of snow plowing vehicles to minimize the time required to clear snow and ice from the streets
Nowadays, the problems are becoming more complicated, and there are many new factors showing up, which increases the problems complexity. Therefore, OR specialties need to be aware of what is new in order to evaluate problems complexity, which is considered a crucial skill in the operations research domain.
During the last decade, the evolutionary in Information Technology (IT) systems had a significant impact on every aspect of our daily life. One of the most radical changes is the shift from computers to smart devices utilizing the infrastructure services based on cloud computing. This new beginning of the Internet era, marked by integrated computer-based automation and ubiquitous computing systems, is moreover being connected to the wireless network by the Internet. The implementation of this kind of network within the production and operations environment is termed Industry 4.0 revolution [1].
In this project, the following tasks should be performed:
(1) What does Industry 4.0 mean? What are the impacts of industry 4.0 on our daily life? How industry 4.0 increased the problem complexity?
(2) What are the key factors of Industry 4.0?
(3) Identify the pros and cons of Industry 4.0.
(4) Summarize your findings.
(5) For each reference, identify the following: Purpose, Design/methodology/approach, Findings, Research limitations/implications, and practical implications.
(6) Identify some future developments?

Formatting:
Reports must be formatted for US letter (not A4) size paper. The text must be formatted in a two-column layout, with columns no more than 9.5 in. tall and 3.5 in. wide. The text must be in Times font, 10-point or larger, with 11-point or larger line spacing. You are encouraged to use the IEEE conference proceedings templates. Here you can find the template:

Outline and discuss specific use cases to discover and enumerate information that could be used for potential exploitation. Some examples of information that you are gathering from Haverbrook Investment Group’s systems are usernames, machine names, shares, and services from a system. Identify any software, applications, or scripts that will be needed and provide a description of how this software will be used to gather information about Haverbrook’s systems.

As you are developing the Scanning Plan, keep these questions in mind:

How would you detect active systems?
How would you determine the best attack vector you wish to exploit?
How would you prioritize different targets of opportunity?
What tools would you be using for scanning and enumeration of systems and vulnerabilities?
Be sure to identify any needed software and provide a description of how it will be used to gather information about the systems.

Use the Reconnaissance and Scanning plans template (attached) from last week to finish your deliverable.

Journal 1 (Module/ Week 2)
We will start our CQ journey by reflecting on our own cultural experiences. Answer the following questions in your CQ journal. (Questions in parenthesis are suggestions to help you think through your answers)
    Where is your family from? Where did you grow up? Where do you live now?
    Describe your home culture: Geography, Religion, Ethnicity, Language, Family, Food, History, etc.
    Look at your cultural value orientations from your CQ report. Which ones are farther to either the left or the right (showing a stronger pull to a specific cultural value)? Which ones do you think most affect your thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors?
    What cultural value orientations most impact the way you interact with the world?
    What parts of your upbringing or experiences are significant to define your cultural values?
    Look at your Cultural Intelligence scores (the page with scores for the 4 CQ Capabilities: Drive, Knowledge, Action, and Strategy) and write an initial response. Do you agree with them? What experiences, background, or present challenges might be impacting those scores?

The final paper will be in the form of a grant application. You may select the grant topic that was related to your Letter of Inquiry. The grant application can also be related to the current or future job interests of the student. Here are a few examples of previous final exam papers: a grant for a new Adult Day Health program, funding for a feasibility study to develop a PACE program, support for a grandparent mentoring program, and a grant to expand the County Ombudsman program.  Several of these grant proposals have been funded for as much as $100,000.00

The Final Paper/Grant Application should include:

A brief introduction of the topic with 3 or more relevant references from peer reviewed journals (not websites or lay magazine articles). This introduction should be approximately 350 to 700 words long. Do not use material from websites.
An explanation of how the proposed project will add something beneficial to the community. This should be approximately 400 to 500 words long.
A discussion of how your program is different from existing programs in the community.  This should be approximately 300 words long.
An outline of your proposed project with the timetable for completion of the project.  This should be approximately 800 to 1200 words long.
A description of how you plan to evaluate the success of your program. This should be approximately 150 to 250 words long.
A detailed budget for your proposal with an explanation of each item.
The Final Paper/Grant Application format should be: 2000 to 3000 words in length.

Use APA style with references as appropriate.
Size 12 font in Arial, Cambria, or Times New Roman.
Double-spaced.

compare/contrast some interesting theme, event, or character(s) from more than one time and place. You need to select at least one text from those you have studied in Unit 3, and one from either Unit 1 or Unit 2. You may discuss more than two texts, but the discussion MUST be in depth with many supporting examples from the texts you have selected. It is much better to work with two texts in depth than with more than two superficially. Possible topics include:

Possible topics include:

Gilgamesh, Odyssey, Agamemnon, Medea, Aeneid and Arabian Nights – woman troubles in two or three of these stories; be sure to include Arabian Nights as one of them
Odyssey, Aeneid and Arabian Nights – adventures and marvels in two or three of these stories; be sure to include Arabian Nights as one of them
Aeneid and Roland – two visions of empire
Lysistrata, Aeneid (Dido) and Arabian Nights – how women relate to heroes, power and empire in two or three of these stories; be sure to include Arabian Nights as one of them.
Bhagavad-Gita and Roland: two visions of the relationship between war, heroes and divinity
Aeneid and Arabian Nights – two ideas of fate or destiny
Odyssey and Arabian Nights – brave, clever Penelope and brave, clever Shahrazad – the right kind of wives
Gilgamesh, Agamemnon, Oedipus, Creon compared to Charlemagne and/or Shahrayar – rulers and powers; law and tyranny – be sure to include either Roland or Arabian Nights
Rama and Roland – two very different kinds of heroes
A pair or group of your choice, so long as at least ONE text is from Unit one or two and ONE from Unit three: You must let me know what you want to use as a question and what your point will be in advance of the essay. Sometimes students create questions that simply do not work for exams. I can be helpful if you contact me in advance (which does not mean the day you intend to take the exam).
