Case Study
by Dr. Bruce Forciea.

Introduction
Ashley plopped her backpack onto the floor and sat across from Dr. Jones in the hard wooden chair. She noticed the finish almost completely gone from sections of the chair’s arms and wondered how many other students sat in her position with the same issue.

“So, Dr. Jones, I know I bombed the test again,” she said while avoiding eye contact. “I don’t know what to do. I study for many hours, but I can’t seem to remember or understand any of this physiology.”

“I remember you earned an “A” last semester, is there anything else going on in your life that may be interfering with your studies,” said a concerned Dr. Jones.

Ashley’s hand trembled as she adjusted her glasses. “Well, I’ve been having this stubborn sinus infection and headache for a while now,” she said as she reached for some Kleenex to wipe her nose.

“Have you been to the health clinic?” said Dr. Jones.

“Not yet, but I have an appointment tomorrow.”

The Clinic
Ashley sat in the exam room waiting for Dr. Smith. She could hear bits and pieces of conversations in the hall on the other side of the closed door. Dr. Smith burst into the room.

“Good morning, Ashley,” Dr. Smith said with a smile. “What brings you in today?”

Ashley related her symptoms of the past few weeks which included a runny nose, headaches, and a green discharge.

Dr. Smith began her examination.

“Hmm, looks like you have all the signs of a nasty sinus infection. Your eyes look like they are protruding a bit, however. Is this new? Also, have you lost weight or have been feeling nervous lately?”

“Yes doctor, but I thought it was just stress,” said Ashley, concerned.

“We’ll run some tests,” said Dr. Smith while tapping on her laptop keyboard.

A Few Days Later
“I have your test results,” said Dr. Smith.

“It looks like your TSH levels are low. T3 levels are very high and T4 levels are moderately high, so your thyroid gland is the problem. I’m going to refer you to an endocrinologist for a radioactive iodine uptake test to help confirm my diagnosis of Grave’s disease.”

Case Study Questions
Describe the function of the hormones of the thyroid gland.
Describe the feedback system for regulating thyroid hormones. How does this relate to Ashley’s thyroid hormone levels?
Describe the signs and symptoms of Grave’s disease.
Describe treatments for Grave’s disease. Include descriptions of the treatment and mechanisms of actions of any medications.++

Multi Query Optimization in Spark

/in /by

Please read the document attached to get an understanding of what the work is about. The paper proposes heuristic algorithms for multi-query optimization.

The research extends the paper by Michiardi, P., Carra, D., & Migliorini, S. (2019a). “In-memory Caching for Multi-query Optimization of Data intensive Scalable Computing Workloads” to support Join Operators.

The focus of this writeup is the Chapter 3(Methodology):
– An in-depth introduction to the chapter with references
– An in-depth description of the methodology
– recognizing the possibilities of shared computation, essentially setting up the search space by identifying common sub-expressions (search space initialization)
– modifying the optimizer search strategy to explicitly account for shared computation and improve overall performance (optimization stage)
– An in-depth description of the proposed algorithms with references. 
- Conclusion of the chapter
– A better organization of the chapter and sections

It is crucial that the write-up is precise and accurate, therefore, it necessitates a thorough comprehension of the concept to be written meticulously.

Parasite (2019) how it engages with power structures

Parasite (2019) how it engages with power structures

For this paper, you will use all your analytical skills to make an argument about one of the following contemporary films/TV shows and what it is suggesting about power dynamics based on class, race, sexuality, and/or gender. More specifically, your thesis should put forward a nuanced view of how it engages with power structures through the making of what we will call “hegemony”.
consider the following questions:

What is the film/show suggesting about power dynamics (what is its subtextual argument about power, how it is formed, how it is maintained, etc.)?
How does the film/show challenge or reinforce dominant viewpoints regarding nationality, race, class, gender, sexuality, etc.?
How does the film/show reflect the intersections of power or disempowerment (meaning, how are class and race, or race and gender, or gender and class, or a combination of more than two of these, etc. interrelated in the film or show)? What does the film or show suggest about the relationship between these different identity markers and their connection to power or disempowerment?
How does the film/show make an argument about the way that ideologies are formed? In what ways might its presentation of power be flawed or even harmful?
You must fully introduce, quote from, and fluidly integrate your primary source and five additional sources in this paper.

To support your argument about the film or to episodes of a series, which will be your PRIMARY source and should be the focus on analysis throughout the entire paper, you will also integrate 5 additional secondary sources. YOU WILL HAVE 6 to 7 SOURCES TOTAL!
Three of the Unit 3 theory sources (Du Bois, Marx, Baldwin, de Beauvoir, Said, Foucault, Althusser, or Lull) must be used. The other two secondary sources must be peer-reviewed academic journal articles about the issues you are discussing in the paper. For example, if you are looking at how The Boys depicts race and power, you can find journal articles on race and power in modern America or on how the show itself depicts these issues; if you are looking at how The Handmaid’s Tale depicts gender, sex, sexuality, and power, you can find journal articles on modern power dynamics related to sex and gender or on the show itself (do not confuse the show with the book, though–make sure that if you use sources on the show that they are in fact about the show itself and not the book alone).

Do not use any other sources. Reviews or popular articles from general websites will not be accepted. In addition to the course readings, you must use two peer-reviewed academic journal articles (you can find these in JSTOR or EBSCO or another comparable database with peer-reviewed journal materials).
Near the end of the introduction, you will answer the thesis question that follows:

What is the film arguing about the establishment, reproduction, and/or maintenance of power based on specific identity markers, such as class, race, gender, sexuality, or intersections of these?
Note: the title of the film MUST be in the thesis statement.

Project Planning Assessment Part 1

/in /by

Read the following scenario and address the steps that follow in 525 words.

Innovative Automotive is an automobile accessories company that has been in business for 15 years. The company’s director of research and development (R&D) has been asked by the president to develop a new product: an after-market accessory that attaches to any windshield wiper and helps solve the problem of removing bugs from the front windshield.

This product needs to be developed, tested, patented (or patent-filed), and brought to market in 12 months. The R&D director, who has an industrial engineering background and a track record of successfully leading projects of this nature, has assigned you as an in-house project manager (PM) to this project. As the project manager:

List the 3 primary characteristics of this product development project that qualify it to be considered a project.
Describe a project initiation force that caused this project to be initiated.
Explain why you chose the specific type of project.
Summarize the project life cycle that will likely follow this project.
Describe the selection method that has been used to initiate the project.
Identify 2 to 3 of the constraints that the PM will be required to manage.
Identify at least 5 stakeholders you imagine will be key to the success of this project.
Determine the best project structure for this project.

Project Planning Scenario part 2

/in /by

Read the following scenario and address the steps that follow.

As an independent project manager, you have just been hired by the president of a privately-owned insurance company that has 200 employees and has been in the family for three generations. The current leadership of the company has grown up in the business, has little background in project management, and is largely absentee.

The project you have been hired to turn around is one that was started 18 months ago and was managed by the then-director of customer service, who, after 20 years, has left for another opportunity. This project, like other projects at the company, is floundering. It is already six months behind schedule and over budget, and it lacks commitment from the four other functional groups who are key stakeholders: sales, accounting, IT, and order processing. The project you are charged with getting back on track and completing is for a new customer service system that is projected to create efficiencies, automate call center functions, and increase the quality of customer service.

Use this scenario to address the following in 525 to 700 words.

Assess two reasons why the previous manager may not have been the right person to run this project. The previous manager was the director of customer service who knew her department well, but she had no project management experience.
Determine the type of power you will likely have as an independent PM leading this project and requiring input and fractional resources from various other departments.
Identify the key person in the company who must actively and fully support you and the project for the project to succeed.
Describe the leadership style you will choose to practice as project manager.
Summarize the steps you will take to reform the team and name the type of team culture (using the Human Synergistics Circumplex) you will try to develop.
