Guidelines for Conducting Interviews
Before you engage in an interview assignment, be mindful of the following:

The interview findings may only be shared in this class with your instructor. No publication of projects containing the results of, or information from the interviews conducted for this course, is allowed, including publication in social media, blogs, or the Internet generally.
When presenting the results of the interviews to their instructor and/or classmates, students may not disclose personally identifiable information about an interviewee or an organization/business. You may identify by region and type of business; for example, a small, regional non-profit that works with families in transitional housing.
Incorporate a numbering system to identify each participant when discussing them in your assignment; for example, Interviewee 01, 02, or 03.
All interviewees must be at least eighteen years old.

Instructions
Write a 2-4 page paper. For this paper, you will interview at least three employees of the organization you selected. At least one should be in a management role. In your paper, describe the organization, highlighting the following (this information will be gathered during an interview with a member of management):

type (government, business, nonprofit)
type or types of products or services, and the training and development currently provided within the organization
number of employees and frequency of departmental training for the goods or services offered
opportunities to improve training and development in the organization.
Note: Consider the similarities or differences between the manager’s thoughts and the ideas conveyed by the staff members interviewed; this will be important in responding to the items below:

Describe the job roles of at least three interviewees, providing a rationale for selecting these positions from which to obtain information about training needs.

Discuss how the Securities and Exchange Commissions segment reporting requirements apply to corporations.

Prepare a report (3-5 pages) that analyzes aspects of a potential partnership arrangement.
Introduction
In this assessment, you will investigate aspects of partnership formation, operation, and termination, as well as certain elements of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s reporting requirements pertaining to corporations.
Demonstration of Proficiency
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies through corresponding scoring guide criteria:

Competency 1: Apply advanced accounting techniques to organizational situations. 

Create a schedule showing how a partnership income would be allocated to each of the partners using interest allowances and salary allowances.
Create a schedule showing how a partnership loss would be allocated to each of the two partners to make loss-sharing as fair as possible.
Discuss how the Securities and Exchange Commission’s segment reporting requirements apply to corporations.

Competency 4: Apply quantitative models to create and manage budgets and forecasts and evaluate budget performance. 

Create a schedule that shows how partnership assets would be allocated in the event of a liquidation.

Competency 5: Communicate in a manner that is professional and consistent with expectations for members of the business professions. 

Communicate in a manner that is professional and consistent with expectations for members of the business professions.

Scenario
A client of yours is considering going into a partnership with a business associate. The partnership would own a retail gourmet ice cream shop. Your client anticipates investing $150,000 and working ten hours a week. His business associate will invest $50,000 and work forty hours a week. Your client has requested your informed perspective on a number of items before he commits to the business partnership.
Your Role
You are a self-employed accountant.
Requirements
Your client has requested the following be included in a report (3-5 pages) that he can study while considering how to approach this business opportunity:

Your client does not think that splitting the partnership income 50-50 will be fair to either partner. He has asked you to recommend clauses in the partnership agreement that stipulate partnership income and loss allocations. 

Create a recommended income allocation schedule using interest allowances at 10 percent a year and salary allowances at $25 an hour. For the sake of example, assume partnership income of $100,000.
Create a recommended loss allocation schedule. For the sake of example, assume partnership losses of $40,000.

Your client would also like you to create a schedule that shows what happens if this partnership is successful and the two partners agree to sell the company in 10 years. 

For the sake of this calculation, pretend that the partnership’s assets in 10 years are $900,000, liabilities are $200,000, your client’s capital is $400,000 and his associate’s capital is $300,000.
Pretend that the partnership assets are sold for $1,200,000, and the liabilities are settled for the existing value of $200,000.

The company’s flagship location would be in Buffalo, New York, but the potential partners have already discussed opening additional locations in Toronto, Canada. The client knows that as a partnership they would not have to meet the Securities and Exchange Commission’s segment reporting requirements, but the client wants to know what happens if they reorganize as a corporation when they move into the Canadian market. Discuss how the Securities and Exchange Commission’s segment reporting requirements apply to corporations.

Deliverable Format
Since you plan to deliver this report to a paying client, you want this document to be clear, well-organized, and readable. You decide that the report should be 4–6 pages so that you have enough space to respond to your client’s concerns and provide some scholarly and/or professional context.

Communication: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with the needs and expectations of your client. Professional standards dictate that your work be original and free of errors that detract from the overall message.
Your report is a professional document and should therefore follow the corresponding MBA Academic and Professional Document Guidelines, including single-spaced paragraphs.
Resources: At least three resources that are scholarly and/or professional. So that your client may locate more information about partnership operation and SEC corporate reporting requirements, include a reference page at the end of your report.
Report length: Minimum of 3-5 pages, not including reference pages.
Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 pt.

Faculty will use the scoring guide to review your deliverable as if she or he were your client. Review the scoring guide prior to developing and submitting your assessment.

Explain how the social determinants of income, age, education, or gender affect this legislation.

Week 4 Discussion 
In order to talk about the pros and cons of RFID ( radio frequency identification device) we need to understand what exactly is it and does. RFID is a wireless system that includes a tag that uses radio waves to communicate the identity and a reader which is a device that has one or more antenna that emits radio waves and receives signals back from the RFID tag. (
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID): What Is It? | Homeland Security, n.d.) The use of RFID in healthcare can offer many benefits in relation to patient safety, tracking, aiding in patient care, and provider satisfaction.

One pro of using RFID is when it comes to the OB unit. Since the RFID does include tracking, this ensures the baby will always be tracked while at the hospital and can be matched up with the mom to provide absolute protection and prevent a code pink ( infant and child abduction). Another advantage of utilizing RFID is our Alzheimers patients. We can also use tracking on them which goes back to aiding in patient care and safety which is our priority. 
A con to using RFID is the ability of it getting hacked. Since it is a form of technology, the chances are there for patient privacy to be violated.  Another disadvantage is the size of the card. It is very small and can be very expensive depending on insurance providers. This may not be a big deal to certain patients but we have to also think about our elderly patients and Dementia patients. 
To balance the concerns related to the cons, we need to teach, educate, and reassure our patients that their personal private information is secure. We will reassure them that their information will remain protected and safe and teach them about the use of innovative sleeves and wallets to store the smart card which will help cut down the risk percentage of hackers. 
The group of individuals that would benefit immediately from the use of RFID are our geriatric patients and Alzheimer patients.  Safety and patient care is our priority and given that our Alzheimer patients and some geri patients suffer from memory loss and confusion, this would help abundantly with medications and ADLs.  This information would be provided and saved for the physician to access as needed.

1. What are the pros and cons for using the smartcard or RFID? The pros to a smartcard would be that it acts like an ID, it’s a card that patients carry around with them and allows physicians to see medications that have been prescribed, relevant health issues, and verifies a patient’s identity as soon as the card is inserted (
Smart Cards and Patients, 2013). Or in some cases, the smartcard is a QR code on a patient’s phone that can be scanned by a provider. 

2. How would you balance the concerns related to the cons, while trying to incorporate its use into the healthcare system? The cons would be that some patients may worry about their sense of privacy being invaded, but the benefits outweigh the cons. Sometimes emergencies happen, and access to relevant health information faster could literally save a patient’s life, their child’s life, or their parent’s life. Smartcards also have security authentication such as needing to enter a PIN code or facial recognition (
SMART Health Cards, n.d.). 

3. Identify groups or individuals who could immediately benefit from the use of the technology, and why is that so? RFID can benefit infants to prevent abductions. My hospital uses RFID bands to track where infants are in the hospital, it helps prevent abductions. Whenever an ID band is not securely attached, it alarms the nurses to make sure the band hasn’t been taken off, and to verify that the infant is in the mother’s postpartum room. It also could help patients with dementia that are prone to wander. Last week where I live, we had an 80-year-old man escape from the nursing home next to where I work. Authorities searched for him for a few days, and eventually found him deceased about fifteen miles away. RFID could have saved this man’s life and prevented him from escaping the nursing home.

How many receptors have been found for opioids? What are their names?

Topic: Opioid Receptors – Signaling against pain always with pleasure?
This week you learned about the concept of receptors, GTP-binding  proteins and different signal transduction pathways operating in cells.  As you work on this week’s discussion board assignment, consider the  following.  Chronic pain is one of the most common reasons adults  seek medical care. The condition has been linked to restrictions in  mobility and daily activities, anxiety and depression and often to  dependence on opioids. According to a 2016 CDC analysis of National  Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data, an estimated 20.4% (50.0 million)  of U.S. adults had chronic pain and 8.0% of U.S. adults (19.6 million)  had high-impact chronic pain. Opioid-based medications have been used by  man as an analgesic and euphoric for over 5000 years of which morphine  is the most widely known and used. Morphine and the other opioids  codeine, papaverine and thebaine are extracted from the poppy plant Papaver somniferum.  All four natural opioids bind to different opioid receptors which are  distributed throughout the central nervous system and also within  peripheral tissue of neural and non-neural origin. All opioids (natural  or synthetic) used in clinical practice today to reduce pain exert their  action at the MOP receptor. However, some have additional activities  most namely reduction in conscious level and euphoria, making them drugs  of abuse.
This week I want you to read the following scientific review article  (Pathan H. & Williams J. Basic opioid pharmacology: an update. Br.  J. Pain 6(1): 11-16 (2012) and do some research on NCBI PubMed (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) on this week’s topic and discuss the following aspects with your class mates:

How many receptors have been found for opioids? What are their names?
How do those opioid receptors differ? Which components do they share?
What is known about the intracellular signaling pathways of those opioid receptors?
In which way might increased knowledge about the intracellular  signaling components of the opioid receptor help to develop new  generations of analgesics without addictive properties?

Why do demagogues win, why do they come to power as they are doing?

  On January 6, 2021, Americans came perilously close to losing its democracy and the freedoms that have always defined what America is. On that day, a determined band of extremists, including White Nationalists of various stripes, fascistic and violence prone groups like Proud Boys, motivated and incited by the president of the United States (and many members of Congress intent on stealing the election), surged into the Capitol Building, some of them waving a Confederate flag, one wearing a t-shirt with the word Auschwitz displayed, some determined to find Vice-President Mike Pence for the purpose of executing him. There can be no doubt that this was a mob intent on using violence to deny the will of the American people, who had voted to make Joe Biden the next president. There can be no doubt that the main motivation of this mob was not to defend the freedoms of the United States, but rather to abolish them. Not to protect liberty, but to subvert it. Not to protect the Constitution but to revoke it, not to build an inclusive America but to exclude people of color and certain faiths. Not to demand justice, but to violently rebuke it. Not to protect the right to vote, but to repress it. Not to honor the result of the election, called the fairest in US history by many authorities, but to repudiate it. Not to transfer power peacefully, the hallmark of freedom and democracy, but to retain it for a completely corrupt president who had just lost the election—both the popular and the electoral vote.  
Why do demagogues win, why do they come to power as they are doing? Who supports them and why? What role do media play? What role is played by the digital economy that is disrupting everyday life? What about traditional jobs, will they be replaced? We don’t even have the tools to help re-integrate those working in the old economies into the new.
