SLO #1 A tradition of change: demographics and politics. 70% of students will research the continued tradition of change in TX.  One of the biggest changes coming to Texas is the shift in census numbers, specifically from immigration  and rising birth rates.  The changing demographics have the ability to completely transform politics in our state.  For this assignment, students will research our changing demographics, analyze these numbers and then describe how these changes have the potential to impact Texas politics.  [SLO #1 fulfills the following Program Level Outcomes: Communication, Critical Thinking, Social and Personal Responsibility, as well as the following Course Level Outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8.]

Activity for Assessment:

  • Your Grade will be based on you having the paper in the correct format
  • and, on the required length of the paper
  • and, on how well you answer Questions 1 thru 6 listed below:

For this assignment, we are looking at the changing face of Texans and how that change could impact local, state and country-wide politics.  You will need to read/review all of the links below.  They include charts and articles that provide information from the most recent census, graphics and information showing the demographic changes, as well as articles that give some insight into how all of this may change the political landscape of our state.  Once you have done so, answer the following questions:

https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/tx

https://www.texastribune.org/2015/06/25/see-demographic-shift-tx-counties-2010-2014/

https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/2018/03/09/272572/how-texas-shifting-demographics-may-preview-larger-changes-in-america/

https://www.dallasobserver.com/news/a-latino-texas-doesnt-necessarily-mean-a-blue-texas-10824529

1.) We are still a couple of years away from the next census, but what is our most recent data telling us about the demographic changes in Texas? How have our demographics changed over the last 5-10 years? Is there a shift in age demographics as well?

2.) What are some of the reasons for the shifting populations into Texas?  From the first discussion, what kind of industries are motivating the moves?

3.) What are some of the issues that would motivate minorities and the youth voting population (18+) to participate in voting?  What keeps them away from the polls?

4.) Being as diverse as we are in the state, what is the value in these elected officials looking more like the people they represent?  Do you think young people and minorities would be more likely to participate in politics if they are being represented by someone who looks more like them, or is this a non-issue?

5.) Based on the articles you’ve read, how might the minority/youth vote impact Texas politics? Does a “Hispanic Texas” automatically mean a blue one?

6.) Based on what you’ve read/researched, how might the shift in Texas impact the United States on the whole? Explain.

This assignment must follow MLA guidelines, be typed in Times New Roman, 12 pt. font, and be a minimum of 1000 words with a works cited page.  The works cited are not included in the minimum word count. Any articles/web links given in the assignment prompt MUST be cited in your paper and works cited.  Any additional research must be cited as well.

Investigating Pandemics and Epidemics

Some of the most notable epidemics include the bubonic plague in the 14th century, smallpox in the 18th century, and influenza in the 20th century. Reportedly, the bubonic plague caused over 137 million deaths, whereas the death toll associated with influenza was 25 million (Ernst, 2001). These are dramatic examples of the kinds of acute outbreaks that led to the practice of epidemiology.

Many epidemiologists and health care professionals are concerned about the next potential pandemic or epidemic. With the increased mobility of society, the spread of infectious diseases continues to pose a serious threat. For this Discussion, you will investigate pandemics and epidemics using epidemiological tools, and you will consider strategies for mitigating disease outbreaks.

To prepare:

  • Using      the Learning Resources, consider examples of emerging or reemerging      infectious diseases that are occurring locally, nationally, or abroad.      Then, select one example on which to focus.
  • Explore      the epidemiological investigative process used to identify the emerging or      reemerging infectious disease or outbreak.
  • Examine      your selected infectious disease using the epidemiologic triangle and      vector theory.
  • Consider      how health care interventions may reduce the emergence or reemergence of      infectious diseases.

By tomorrow 04/25/2018 12pm, write a minimum of 550 words in APA format with at least 3 scholarly references from the list of required readings below. Include the level one headings as numbered below”

Post a cohesive response that addresses the following:

1) Identify the emerging or reemerging infectious disease you selected.

2) Discuss the investigative process used to identify the outbreak, and describe its effect using descriptive epidemiology (person, place, and time).

3) Apply the epidemiologic triangle and vector theory to your selected outbreak.

4) Evaluate how prior health care interventions, or lack thereof, created the conditions that allowed this infectious disease to emerge.

5) Discuss how the disease outbreak might have been avoided or mitigated. Include agencies, organizations, and resources that could have supported these efforts. If appropriate, consider ongoing efforts to control the outbreak.

Step 1 – Read the Information Below

Managers spend one third of their time communicating up and down the organizational hierarchy. Communication is the transfer and understanding of information from one person to another. The communication model comprises of several parts.

We want to examine the communication pathway or medium in which communication is delivered. The communication pathway is the way messages are sent, including:

  • Face-to-face meetings.
  • Electronic mail and online discussions.
  • Written letters or memorandums.
  • Telephone or voice-mail, among others.

While some people may be better at using certain mediums over others, some mediums can be better suited for the specific message being conveyed. For this week’s discussion, suppose you are a manager who needs to communicate several messages to employees of the company.

Messages
  1. The CEO abruptly resigns after the news media reports that the CEO embezzled millions of dollars.
  2. A plan to relocate the company.
  3. The death of an employee.
  4. The reassignment of one division to a new location.

Step 2 – Post a Response

Respond to the following for each of the messages above:

  • List the medium (telephone, email, text, face-to-face meeting, etc.) you would use to communicate the message.
  • Explain why you chose that medium over the other possible mediums.
  • Then, consider the importance of the information conveyed in these messages. How might the choice of medium for communication impact trust and credibility among the employees?

 Overview

For this Performance Task, you will select a community that has high or increasing levels of crime and determine what the current research literature says about the effects of the crime present on the community. Generally, you may find that crime can have wide-ranging effects, from housing values to psychological outcomes. Keep in mind as you examine the research, however, that the effects of crime on communities is also influenced by location-specific and historic factors that may not translate to other communities. As a criminal justice professional, being able to analyze research articles and interpret the findings is an important skill that will allow you to make empirically supported decisions on the job.

Submission Length: 4-page paper

RESEARCHING THE EFFECTS OF CRIME ON COMMUNITIES

You will first need to select a community (United States) with high or increasing levels of crime. Using the Walden Library, research the types of crime present in the community as well as the effects of the crime. You should limit your search to the criminal justice research databases provided in the Learning Activities for this Competency.

Select three peer-reviewed journal articles related to crime in your selected community to use for this Assessment.

Download the Walden Writing Center’s APA Course Template to use for this Assessment. Ensure you use appropriate headings.

Synopsis

Marketing and Advertising Analysis

You are the regional marketing vice president overseeing all US marketing for an international pharmaceutical distributor. Your team has recently submitted a proposed budget for advertising and marketing spending for the upcoming year to support 10% annual revenue growth for your company’s best-selling product, Dilomatox.  A summary of that budget along with this year’s forecasted data (forecasted since your fiscal year isn’t quite complete yet) is below:

DILOMATOX – Proposed Marketing Budget (DATA TABLE IN WORD DOCUMENT)

   

Proposed   Budget (Next Year)  Current   Forecast (This Year)     %   Change

 

Advertising and   Marketing Spending (total)   $64,250,000   $56,860,000   +13%

 

Product Revenue  $1,164,471,000  $1,058,610,000   +10%

 

Marketing   Spending as % of Revenue   5.52% 5.37%

Your senior budgeting committee reviews your budget, and the CFO sends you a summary of her team’s findings a week ahead of your budgeting meeting with the CEO. The CFO explains to you she will not support your proposed budget increase, because your main competitor Zoraffil is forecasted to spend 8.5% less on advertising and marketing but is on target to earn 7.5% more revenue. Furthermore, she has recommended that your budget be reduced to 4.57% of revenue to match what Zoraffil has achieved. To meet this goal, she has asked you to reduce your proposed budget by $11 million before next week’s meeting with the CEO. Your team has already begun identifying which marketing and advertising programs it would choose to cut.

CURRENT YEAR FINANCIAL FORECASTS (TABLE IN ATTACHED WORD DOC);

   

                                                                  Dilomatox         Zoraffil            %   Change

 

Advertising and   Marketing Spending (total)  $56,860,000  $52,040,000    -8.5%

 

Product Revenue  $1,058,610,000   $1,138,510,000     +7.5%

 

Marketing   Spending as % of Revenue   5.37%  4.57%

To support their findings, the committee has supplied your team with the attached data filePreview the document, providing weekly marketing spending and revenue (in millions of dollars) for the last 52 weeks for both brands.

Your task is to analyze this data, ‘uncover the story’ behind how advertising spend and revenue for these brands are related (or not!), and to write a managerial summary that you can use to justify your proposed advertising and marketing budget. You should organize your summary in a way that provides a strong and coherent argument, but in that argument your analysis should answer all of the following questions:

  1. Answer      parts a-b below:
    1. Describe       the relationship between advertising and revenue for Dilomatox. Would you       characterize these relationships as strong or weak? Support your response       with relevant graphs and statistics.
    2. Describe       the relationship between advertising and revenue for Zoraffil. Would you       characterize these relationships as strong or weak? Support your response       with relevant graphs and statistics.
  2. Analyze      the multivariate relationship between Dilomatox’s revenue and the other      variables provided (Dilomatox’s marketing spend, Zoraffil’s revenue, and      Zorafill’s marketing spend). Is there a significant relationship between      Dilomatox’s sales and any (or all) of these variables? Support your      response with relevant charts or statistics.
  3. What      percent of the variation in revenue does advertising and marketing spend      explain for both brands? Explain.
  4. Based      on your analysis, if both brands ceased all advertising and marketing      spend, how much revenue would be lost? Explain.
  5. What      impact will the CFO’s proposed $11 million dollar cut to your budget have      on Dilomatox revenue next year?

Your managerial summary should include a description of the statistical tests or processes used to answer each question, an explanation of the necessary results (appropriate descriptive or graphical summaries, statistics like r-values and least-squares regression equations, predicted values – and if appropriate estimates of error for any parameters or predictions made). It should also show that any required assumptions for any statistical procedures used are valid. Use a 95% level of significance for any statistical tests.

Police Crime Control Strategies

ISBN: 9781133691624

Use APA formatting with no plagiarism.

Typology of Crime Reduction Strategies

BACKGROUND:

The background for understanding and discussions of the material in the corresponding book Chapter, within the student text-book, directs attention toward strategic approaches to crime control.  Therefore, it is noted that there is no one initiative that is superior in any situation. Rather, there is an optimal approach that balances resources required against probability of repression/interdiction/apprehension. Whatever initiative is selected, it is important that the response by law enforcement leadership be contemplative, proactive, planned, monitored, and modified regularly.

Discussion Questions/Scenarios to be Addressed: 

A. You are the Zone 3 Precinct Commander of the Atlanta Police Department, located on Metropolitan Parkway, a reconverted street in SW Atlanta that has substantial new commercial development — retain stores, two college campuses, office buildings, medical facilities, adult-entertainment clubs and the likes. Thefts from cars in the parking lots of these businesses and overnight burglaries are becoming increasingly frequent.  Please identify the range of alternative enforcement activities, law enforcement initiatives, associated crime prevention tactics, and the number of personnel you would estimate as necessary to implement the intervention. Also, of the approaches, tactics, interventions, and initiatives mentioned, identify just one from the ones listed, and discuss it in detail and why it was chosen.

B. As Chief of the Detectives at the City of Decatur Police Department, you have personally enjoyed some success in obtaining valuable information by debriefing individuals after their arrest. You have heard that few of your assigned detectives do this or  even think it is worth their time to do it. Their reasoning is that it is a waste of time because everyone knows “criminals cannot be relied upon to tell the truth”, and absent other motives its just not worth the effort. So, they don’t believe that there is any actionable intelligence available from these activities. You have decided to correct this perception by making a presentation addressing your thoughts and vision at the next investigative techniques training session. Give us a chance to hear your presentation as to how you would go about developing this type information and describing how it can be used. 

REMEMBER: The student must post his/her response first and then respond to two other students on the same topic. Also, bullets are not acceptable — responses must be in correct paragraph form, grammatically correct, and properly organized and written.

Discussion board 3

/in /by

In this week’s discussion you are going to be the CEO of a company.  In anticipation of the upcoming quarterly disclosure of profits, you prepare your Board of Directors for the pressure that cost-push inflation is having on profits. There will be some erosion of profits.  Please make yourself CEO of only one of these hypothetical companies.

Profile of the Companies 

All America Grocery Inc – We serve communities in the middle of the income market providing low prices for all basic grocery needs. Our modest income consumers expect goods deals on good quality foods.  The Covid-19 pandemic has put upward pressure on the price of everything we sell. We are also experience rising cost in every aspect of our operation as we have to put extra resources in to protecting both our employees and the public.  We are both fortunate and unfortunate that the price elasticity of demand for food is .20.  

Very Big US Auto – Very Big US Auto is one of the oldest and one of the largest manufacturers of autos in the US.  Very Big US Auto’s supply chain is highly dependent components manufactured in China and assembled in the US, (think back to our week 1 problem with the seat manufacturer).  The Chinese economy has rebounded quickly, much of the production capacity is still going to rebuild inventories, so the supply of components still lag behind demand so there is upward pressure on all of our costs.  Additionally manufacturing facilities like ours must take extra precaution to keep workers safe.  Costs are rising on all aspects of production across the industry.  On the demand side, Very Big US Auto knows that demand is relatively elastic with a price elasticity of demand of 1.2. But we also know that pandemic has made some transportation substitutes less acceptable. 

Big Time Entertainment – Big Time Entertainment is a nationwide firm providing movies, arcades and other in person entertainment venues such as bowling and roller skating.  Our operations have been heavily impacted during the Covid-19 pandemic.  On reopening we have been faced with a host of regulations that have greatly increased our cost of operations. We also face uncertainty as to the potential for additional shutdowns. Customers are fearful plus the guidance on operating our facilities means we are operating far below our optimal number of patron to cover the higher cost for cleaning and other measure to protect the public and our employees.  Price elasticity of demand is 1.6 and we are also faced with more competitors, online entertainment and gaming, that are not experiencing these cost pressures. 

Now explain:

  • Is the demand curve for your product relatively elastic, inelastic or unitary elastic?  Demonstrate for your company’s product, by how much the quantity demanded will change if you pass on a 10% increase in cost. In other words, show your calculation of the percentage change in the quantity demanded if your prices are raised by 10%. You must provide a calculations showing the percentage change in quantity demanded. 
  • Given your company’s price elasticity of demand and the industry supply/competitive environment you face, prepare a statement for your board as to the potential impact on profits.   Who will pay the larger share of the cost increases, your firm or your customers?
