  1- Implement a minimum spanning tree (MST) algorithm using C++. An MST (also minimum weight spanning tree) is a subset of the edges of a connected, edge-weighted, undirected graph that connects all the vertices together, without any cycles and with the minimum total edge weight. The program is interactive. Graph edges with respective weights are entered at the command line and results are displayed on the console. 

2. Each input transaction represents an undirected edge of a connected weighted graph. The edge consists of two unequal non-negative integers in the range 0 to 99 representing graph vertices that the edge connects. Each edge has an assigned weight. The edge weight is a positive integer in the range 1 to 99. The three integers on each input transaction are separated by space. An input transaction containing the string “end-of-file” signals the end of the graph edge input. After the edge information is read, the MST process begins. Use an array with a capacity of 100 for recording input edges. The input data can be assumed to be valid, so is no need to perform data validation on the input data. 

3. After the edges of the MST are determined, the MST edges are displayed on the console, one edge per output line, following the message: “Minimum spanning tree:”. Each output line representing an MST edge contains three integers separated by space. The first two integers are the two vertices representing the edge and the third integer represents the weight of the edge. 

After displaying the edges of the MST, the program displays the message: “Edge weight total:” followed by the sum of the weights from the edges comprising the MST. 

Note: the user must provide the input.

i will give you the example to test the code.

2 Sample input transactions are as follows: 1 3 5 3 2 6 1 2 7 end-of-file Sample output expected after processing the above input will be as follows: Minimum spanning tree: 1 3 5 3 2 6 Edge weight total: 11

this is the example

remember that the user must enter the values. The values that can be entered can be diffrenent

Week Five Journal – Competencies

Each week of this course, you will be reviewing and reflecting upon the national competencies for health education specialists. There are seven areas of responsibility that you will review in depth each week through your reflective journal entry.

Visit the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. (NCHEC) website and download a copy of the Areas of Responsibility for Health Education Specialists (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. This document is considered “The Bible” for health educators as it shows the competencies that are firmly established as the national standards for the field. All total, there are 258 sub-competencies organized into 36 competencies within seven major areas of responsibility.

For Week Four, you will focus on Area 7: Communicate, Promote, and Advocate for Health, Health Education/Promotion, and the Profession. Area 7 contains four competencies and many sub-competencies, which are listed in the PDF document (from 7.1 to 7.4.11). In your journal this week, review this area in its entirety, and address the following:

  • Imagine that you are the Senior Health Education      Specialist for your community. Describe a pressing health issue in your      community (e.g., high smoking rates, high substance abuse, low compliance      with the seatbelt laws, significant adult onset diabetes, etc.).
  • Using your skills (as listed in this competency area),      how would you tackle this health issue? In your response, you must apply      at least three of the competencies/sub-competencies noted in Area 7 and be      specific in how you plan to apply those competencies. Please note that      simply stating you would “use No. 7.2.9” is not enough. Explain how and      why you would use that sub-competency.

Your journal entry may be a PowerPoint presentation, video, screencast, or a typed document. You will submit your work through Waypoint. No APA formatting is necessary. All presentations must be at least 5 minutes in length. If you use a video or screencast, please make sure you copy the link onto a Word document and then upload the document. This is reflection work and the goal is to critically look at the competencies as well as your insights and beliefs into how they fit into the health educator’s daily routine. There are no right or wrong answers; this is pure personal reflection.

COMM 4253 Social Marketing Campaign Plan – Part 2

To complete your social marketing campaign plan, here are the remaining steps. This is a breakdown of steps 6-10. Please note that step 7 has been broken down further into 4 components, each representing a step in developing the overall “marketing mix.” You will focus on the same social problem/issue and influence the target audience to engage in the same social behavior as used for social marketing campaign plan – part 1. 

It is recommended that you use the following breakdown as a template for the paper. 

Step 6: Develop a Positioning Statement

v As a team, decide on what type of positioning you want to use for your social campaign: Behavior-focused, barriers-focused, benefits-focused, or competition-focused. 

v Provide an argument justifying your positioning strategy. 

v Write a statement similar to the following, filling in the blanks: “We want the [target audience] to see [desired behavior] as [a clear set of actions to carry out, easy to do despite barriers, a set of benefits to be gained, or as better than the competition in terms of benefits or costs].

Step 7.1: Developing the Product Platform

v Describe the core product: What are the major perceived benefits your target audience wants from performing the behavior/using a good or service that you will highlight?

v Describe the actual product: What, if any, tangible goods and services will you be offering and/or promoting. For behaviors, what specific behavior are you asking the target audience to do? 

v Describe the augmented product: Are there any additional tangible goods or services that would assist your target audience in performing the behavior?

Step 7.2: Developing the Price Strategy

v Describe any monetary and non-monetary incentives you will highlight. 

v Describe any monetary and non-monetary costs your will highlight. 

v Decide on what specific price-related tactics you plan to use within your campaign, be sure to provide an illustration:

o Benefit-to-benefit comparison (our benefits are better than the competition)

o Benefit-to-cost comparison (our benefits are good; competition costs are bad)

o Cost-to-benefit comparison (our costs are not that bad, competition benefits are not that good)

o Cost-to-cost comparison (our costs are lower than the competition)

As we have learned, the nature of the workplace is changing rapidly. The rise in the use of robots and artificial intelligence has decimated the employment prospects for many employees in many industries. It has also changed the nature of the role of human resource professionals. With that as a background, compose a paper that addresses the following:

· Provide a general overview on the rise in the use of robots and artificial intelligence in the workplace. Present evidence that the use of robots and artificial intelligence is increasingly taking the employment opportunities to which humans have traditionally performed, including the level and scope of this trend.

· Assess how this trend has affected the promise and security of continued employment for some/many in the United States economy, including an assessment on how the nature and type of employment is changing for the typical US worker (e.g., more part-time employment or static wages).

· Present the criteria a human resource professional should review before determining whether a position should be filled by a robot or through artificial intelligence.

· Discuss how these trends will affect the role of human resources, including the typical human resource functions such as recruitment, compensation, labor relations, risk and liability management, and organizational effectiveness.

· Finally, discuss the role and duty a human resource professional has to ensure full employment for employees and, most importantly, the responsibility human resources should assume for those workers displaced by a world where robots and artificial intelligence are increasingly performing.

Your paper should be:

· 12 pages (not including title and reference pages).

· Formatted according to apa

· Supported by 10 scholarly sources.

Case 1: Government Spending and Taxation

Read Special Topic 1, pages 404 through 418 of Macroeconomics: Private and Public Choice. You may also want to review Chapters 5 and 6 as the role of the government and the political process were covered in detail.

Using the Government Spending and Taxation case, Chapters 5 and 6, the knowledge you have gained in this course, as well as at least three additional credible resources, analyze the case by addressing the following:

  • Describe how government spending and the composition of the government changed in recent decades. In other words, in what areas has the government cut spending and in what areas has the government increased spending in recent decades?
  • Determine if this change in government spending and composition will help Americans achieve a higher living standard. Be sure to support all opinions with research.
  • Assess if democracy can survive if the majority of the U.S. citizens pay little or nothing in taxes while benefiting directly from a higher level of government spending. Why or why not?
  • Propose the composition of government, government spending, and taxation that you believe would work best. Be sure to be specific and support your proposal with research.

Case 2: The Economics of Social Security

Read the Special Topic 2, pages 419 through 428 of Macroeconomics: Private and Public Choice.

Using the Economics of Social Security case, the knowledge you have gained in this course, as well as at least three additional credible resources, analyze the case by addressing the following:

  • Explain how the Social Security system’s basic principles are different from private insurance.
  • Determine how Social Security affects the economic well-being of blacks, relative to whites and Hispanics.
  • Assess if the current Social Security system promotes income equality. Why or why not?
  • Propose how the Social Security system could be modernized to ensure long-term solvency and fairness in distribution. Be specific and support your proposal with research.

Case 3: Keynes and Hayek: Contrasting Views on Sound Economics and the Role of Government (Case 4 in the text)

Read the Special Topic 2, pages 439 through 444. You may also want to review Chapters 11 and 12 of Macroeconomics: Private and Public Choice as the role of government and different views of government intervention were discussed.

Using the Keynes and Hayek: Contrasting Views on Sound Economics and the Role of Government case, Chapters 11 and 12, the knowledge you have gained in this course, as well as at least three additional credible resources, analyze the case by addressing the following:

  • Describe briefly how Keynes’s and Hayek’s economic theory and views differ.
  • Contrast the two views on how savings may be harmful or beneficial to the economy.
  • Compare the two views on whether the economy would fluctuate more or less over the business cycle without government intervention. Be sure to address both the inherent stability of the market economy as well as the impact of government interventions to steer the economy.
  • Hypothesize on which economist theory, Keynes or Hayek, you believe is more accurate and why. Be specific and support your hypothesis with research.

Your Cases: Applying Economics to the Real World Final Project

  • Must be six to seven double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center’s APA Style (Links to an external site.) resource. Each chosen case should be covered in approximately three pages for a total paper of six pages.
  • Must include a separate title page with the following:
    • Title of paper

  • Avoid over-dependence on direct quotes. Direct quotes are a great way to strengthen our assertions and provide support. However, be sure to avoid using excessive direct quotes in lieu of original thought. Direct quotes will not meet the requirement for analysis, application, and critical thinking. Please ensure to not overuse direct quote so that you can avoid losing points for this. Review the Integrating Research (Links to an external site.) resource from the Ashford Writing Center for additional guidance.
  • Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. See the Formatting Your References List (Links to an external site.) resource in the Ashford Writing Center for specifications

The Emirates Group and Employee Diversity

/in /by

  Review the case study, The Emirates Group and Employee Diversity, from your reading in this Unit. • Answer the four questions provided in this case study. • Make sure to integrate concepts from you learning this Unit. Requirements: • Minimum of two pages in length, excluding the Title and Reference page. • APA format, including an in-text citation for referenced works. • At least three resources. 

Is it sustainable to think that Emiratis, which make up only about 15 percent of the people in Dubai, can be leading the city as they have been for so long? 

Integrating 160 different nationalities into one corporation, such as The Emirates Group, has challenges and opportunities. What challenges do you see? 

What opportunities come from this diverse workforce? If you lived in a city with such diversity of people as Dubai, would you assimilate yourself with the people who are like you, or would you try to integrate into the overall community of all people?

 Compared with 10 years ago, expatriate employees stay twice as long in Dubai, about five years, before they return to their home country or another foreign location. Do you think more expatriates will stay longer in Dubai as the city continues to develop into a world-class location?
