after the fall of the communist government in romania in 1989 the world bore witness 3497204

After the fall of the communist government in Romania in 1989, the world bore witness to the conditions of the orphanages there. As part of his rule, Ceausescu had adopted policies outlawing abortion and contraception. The increasing births that families could not afford resulted in a growing population in state-run orphanages, even though most of the children there were not actually orphans. For the most part, the orphanages did not meet the childrens basic needs, and were dirty, unsanitary and many were abusive. Once the conditions of these children became public, numerous organizations formed to provide aid. Due to the extreme neglect that most of these children experienced, they experienced significant physical and mental delays. Even those children who were adopted showed problems with attachment and later development.
Much research has been done to look at the impact of being raised in institutional settings, and how children adapted after they were adopted and raised in typical families.
For this discussion, you are going to consider a personal story of one Romanian child who was adopted, Izidor Ruckel, as well as on-going research by the Bucharest Early Intervention Project

1.How does being raised in institutional settings impact attachment style? Be sure to draw on information presented specifically about the orphanages in Romania, as was well information about attachment theory discussed in Chapter 4 of your book. You must discuss attachment theory and the different attachment styles to get credit for this question.

2.If you had the opportunity to advise a friend or family member regarding their upcoming adoption of a 2 year-old raised in an institutional setting prior to the adoption, what would you tell them to look for in terms of potential problems? What would you advise them to do to do to try to counteract the effects of institutionalization? Be sure to support your answer with information from research and/or your book, not just your personal, common-sense suggestions.

3.What are your thoughts on the ethicality of the research conducted through the Bucharest Early Intervention Project? There are mixed opinions for this question. Whatever stance you choose, be sure to back up your opinion; explain why you think that it is ethical, or not ethical. It will be helpful to begin your discussion by a brief description of the research design.

you are the new property operations manager of the xavier hotel the gm has called yo 3834887

You are the new property operations manager of the Xavier Hotel. The GM has called you in to her office to inform you of new directives of the company and the need to become more sustainable. The GM tells you that you need to review the operational efficiency of the hotel and make recommendations to meet the new environmental standard set by the corporate office.
So to do well on the GM’s new assignment you should include a reasonable dollar value associated with all proposed upgrades for cost savings.
For example: If you save 15 gallons per person per day with your improvements for the 375 rooms which are occupied 72% of the time with 1.4 people per occupied room, how much is your annual saving in gallons and dollars?
Water costs $5.45 per 1000 gallons
The Questions to Answer:
Describe in detail what you would propose to the GM to do with the property to increase efficiency, and reduce waste for the following categories:
1. Discuss the reduction in gallons used per occupied room i.e. what is a normal usage per person and how can it be reduced.
a. What steps can be taken to reduce usage structurally i.e. changing fixtures.
b. What water saving programs can be put in place for both guests and employees to follow?
c. What would the subsequent savings be on an annual basis in dollar$? Give the GM a calculation of your proposed changes and how much will the hotel save on an annual basis.
d. How much would the changes cost for all 375 rooms?
2. Electricity is used for: lighting, vertical transport (elevators), pumps, refrigeration and multiple facets of HVAC.
a. What can be done to systematically maximize the efficient use of electricity without affecting the comfort of the customer? For example change out inefficient light bulbs, outdated equipment, preventative maintenance etc.
b. Calculate the proposed savings in the reduction of the cost of electricity based on the cost of updating equipment or labor to do preventative maintenance.
c. Include the return on investment (ROI) made to improve efficiency.
d. ROI = (gain from upgrade – cost of investment) / cost of investment
3. What can be done to improve the efficiency of heating and cooling for the Xavier Hotel with 375 rooms?
a. How can facility managers ensure that their property HVAC expenses are under control with escalating oil, gas & electricity costs?
b. What can be done to increase efficiency of the equipment both used for generation and distribution?
c. What can be done to minimize unwanted heat-transfer and increase the R-value (thermal resistance).

2 m m sprout a catalog mail order retailer has one customer service representative c 3761338

2. M.M. Sprout, a catalog mail-order retailer, has one customer service representative (CSR) to take orders at an 800 telephone number. If the CSR is busy, the next caller is put on hold. For simplicity, assume that any number of incoming calls can be put on hold and nobody hangs up in frustration over a long wait. Suppose that, on average, one call comes every 5 minutes and that it takes the CSR an average of 4 minutes to take an order. Both interarrival and activity times are exponentially distributed (i.e., they have coefficients of variation equal to 1). The CSR is paid $20 per hour, and the telephone company charges $5 per hour for the 800 line. The company estimates that each minute a customer is kept on hold costs it $2 in customer dissatisfaction and loss of future business.

Estimate the following:

• The proportion of time that the CSR will be busy

• The average time that a customer will be on hold

• The average number of customers on line

• The total hourly cost of service and waiting

this problem is designed to using the trigonometry methods in the math class as a ru 5207850

This problem is designed to using the trigonometry methods in the Math class.  As a rule of thumb, design your program so that each method performs a single function.  If a method is more than 20 lines long, it is probably too long.  If it can no longer be viewed in its entirety in a single text editor window, it is definitely too long! Produce a computer program, written in Java, which determines the distance travelled by a projectile (launched from the ground) given: 1.  The velocity at launch (u), and 2.  The launch angle (angle of elevation) above the horizontal (A). If the above text is not clear, the vector shown on the left side is (u) and is the Launch velocity, the angle on the left side is A, and the text on the bottom reads Distance travelled. Assume the following: 1.  The angle of elevation is given in degrees and is in the range of 0 to 90. 2.  Start velocity is given as a positive number. 3.  Gravity (g) is equivalent to 10m/s ^ 2. 4.  Ignore air resistance. Note also that to solve the above we must carry out the following steps: 1.  Calculate the vertical and horizontal components of u (the launch velocity) using the following trigonometric identities: Vertical component of launch velocity (Vu) = u x sinA Horizontal component of launch velocity (Hu) = u x cosA   2.  Calculate the time (t) taken for the body to return to the ground using the identity: t = (2 x Vu) / a where a (deceleration due to gravity) is equivalent to g (10m/s ^ 2 in this case). 3.  Calculate distance (s) travelled from the identity: s = Hu x t EXAMPLE: A body is projected with a velocity of u = 200 m/s at an angle of elevation A = 30 degrees above the horizontal.  Determine the distance travelled by the projectile. Vu  = 200 x sin30 = 100 (m/s) Hu = 200 x cos30 = 173.2 (m/s) t = {2 x 100) / 10 = 20 (s) s = 20 x 173.2051 = 3464.1 (m)  This section contains the following elements: The projects only use JDK and an editor (textPad, notepad,…

write a program using pointer variables to modify parameters as follows 1 create a f 5196344

Write a program using pointer variables to modify parameters as
follows:
1. Create a function that corresponds with the following function comment:
/*
Function: getDouble()
Parameter: double *pNumber: pointer to a variable that is
filled in by the user input, if valid
Return Value: bool: true if the user entered a valid
floating-point number, false otherwise
Description: This function gets a floating-point number
from the user. If the user enters a valid floating-point
number, the value is put into the variable pointed to by
the parameter and true is returned. If the user-entered
value is not valid, false is returned.
*/
a. It would likely be easiest if you change the getNum() function to create this
function.
b. Use stdbool.h for the definitions of bool, true, and false as described in lecture.
c. If you use sscanf(), you should be aware that the appropriate format string for
getting a double from the user is “%lf” (that's a lowercase L) and not “%f” (unlike
printf).
2. Create a function that corresponds with the following function comment:
/*
Function: generateStats()
Parameters: double d1, d2, d3: three floating-point
numbers
double *pAverage: pointer to a variable that
is filled in by this function with the average of d1, d2,
and d3
double *pSum: pointer to a variable that is
filled in by this function with the sum of d1, d2, and d3
Return Value: none
Description: This function takes three floating-point
numbers passed as doubles and calculates the average and
sum of the numbers. Once calculated, the average gets put
into the variable pointed to by the pAverage parameter and
the sum gets put into the variable pointed to by the pSum
parameter.
*/
a. This function should only have two lines in the body. pSum should be used in
both lines (i.e. don't add the three numbers together twice).
3. In main:
a. Declare three double variables.
b. Prompt the user and get those three floating-point numbers using the getDouble()
function. If any of the floating-point numbers are invalid, quit the program (do
not use exit()).
c. Declare a double variable for the average and another double variable for the sum.
d. Call generateStats() passing the five variables as appropriate.
e. Call printf() to display the average and the sum.
f. End with return 0.
Make sure to prototype generateStats and getDouble.
Can you also comment.

    Use the sample attached as a guide when completing your own analysis on Canada.

    OVERVIEW:

    Governments’ influence over trade and economies should not be underestimated. You may see some connections between culture and political ideologies, which can have positive and negative effects. Let’s dive into the political and legal environment for your project country, Canada. In this assignment, you will work on the following critical elements: Government and Ideologies, and Corruption.

    Using The World Factbook ( https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/ )and current news reports, identify the following elements of government:

         1) Government type

         2) Political leader(s)

         4) Recent changes in governing rule

    Other risks include corrupt practices, which are also heavily influenced by culture. Use ( ) to identify three measures of corruption. Consider a review of the following:

         1) Corruption Perception Index

         2) Enforcement

         3) Bribery measures

    A) Discuss what these political risks mean for businesses.

    B) What challenges or opportunities might an organization recognize with regard to the government and corrupt practices in the region?

    C) How can an organization protect against these risks and prepare management for issues they might face
