...user’s default caloric burn rate, otherwise known as the basal metabolic rate (BMR). The BMR and the calories burned as a result of physical activity will be calculated against the intake of calories to determine the overall success for the user. As the program is executed it must: * Record user name, age, height, weight to enable more accurate calculations * Record the users specific caloric values entered for each meal * Record the user activity and caloric burn values for that activity * Calculate the basal metabolic rate (BMR) for the individual * Subtotal the total caloric values for the day * Combine the physical activity and the BMR to determine overall caloric burn for the day * Display a daily summary for the user to outline level of success OVERVIEW This program was developed to provide the user a tool to monitor and calculate a caloric surplus or deficit for the day for an individual user. What makes this program different from many others is the additional step of determining the basal metabolic rate...

...Reflection assignment In this assignment I will be using the Gibbs Reflective Model, reference, to reflect on an incident that occurred in placement that demonstrates an understanding of the Outcome : 3.1: Demonstrate that they respect diversity and individual preferences and value differences, regardless of their own personal views. To do this I will first, briefly describe the event, supporting my outline with relevant information. I will then explore the event, and discuss why it is important and how it relates to the learning outcome. I will also be discussing why materials such as law and guidelines say this is important. I will then proceed to analyse the incident by breaking it down and picking out the main features of the experience, discussing why they are important, whilst linking the main points together. I will attempt to think about opposing arguments to what I have explored, and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the arguments. Finally I will be using SMART goals, to create an action plan for future development. Explain incident with evidence Whilst on a shift, we had an elderly patient arrive on the ward. The patient suffered from a Frank Haematuria, Colovesciular fistula as well as incontinence.

...Pre course assignment 2: Performance Related Pay The assignment is to write a paper about Performance Related Pay (2000 words) Performance Related Pay is receiving a great deal of attention. On the one hand (collective) labour agreements are increasingly including arrangements that relate to pay-forperformance, at the same time there is also strong resistance. Trade unions have never been enthusiastic proponents subject to certain conditions, but opinions are also divided in employers' circles. Pay-for-performance is even named as a root cause for the crisis of the financial sector and for the collapse of some companies. A number of companies have recently announced that they will abolish or change their pay- for-performance systems. When organizations have performance related pay systems in place, (front line) managers usually play an important role. They make pay decisions, or provide information for these decisions. The paper is also a preparation for a class debate about pay for performance in the fourth lecture. The debate will be about the statement: “The introduction of individual pay for performance contributes to an improvement in a company's (financial) performance” The paper will be written from one of three starting points: 1. You are against the statement: all arguments you discuss should underpin that the statement is false 2. You are in favour of the statement: all arguments you bring forward should underpin that the statements is true 3. You are undecided: find...

...Diagnostic Algebra Assessment Definitions Categories Equality Symbol Misconception Graphing Misconception Definition Concept of a Variable Misconception Equality Symbol Misconception As algebra teachers, we all know how frustrating it can be to teach a particular concept and to have a percentage of our students not get it. We try different approaches and activities but to no avail. These students just do not seem to grasp the concept. Often, we blame the students for not trying hard enough. Worse yet, others blame us for not teaching students well enough. Students often learn the equality symbol misconception when they begin learning mathematics. Rather than understanding that the equal sign indicates equivalence between the expressions on the left side and the right side of an equation, students interpret the equal sign as meaning “do something” or the sign before the answer. This problem is exacerbated by many adults solving problems in the following way: 5 × 4 + 3 = ? 5 × 4 = 20 + 3 = 23 Students may also have difficulty understanding statements like 7 = 3 + 4 or 5 = 5, since these do not involve a problem on the left and an answer on the right. Falkner presented the following problem to 6th grade classes: 8 + 4 = [] + 5 All 145 students gave the answer of 12 or 17. It can be assumed that students got 12 since 8 + 4 = 12. The 17 may be from those who continued the problem: 12 + 5 = 17. Students with this misconception may also have difficulty with the idea that adding...

The operand (the value on which the operator operates ) of the unary operator must have arithmetic or pointer type and the result is the value of the argument. Example:- If a=5 then +a means 5 If a=0 then +a means 0. If a=-4 then +a means -4. Ternary operator:- It precedes an operand. The operand of the unary operator must have arithmetic type and the result is the negation of the operand’s value. Example:- If a=5 then –a means -5 If a=0 then –a means 0 If a=-4 then –a means 4. (b) Assignment and equalto operator Assignment operator:- Equal to operator: An assignment operator assigns value In this we put the To a variable. value as it is.

...Selection statements Selection is used to select which statements are to be performed next based on a condition being true or false. Relational expressions In the solution of many problems, different actions must be taken depending on the value of the data. The if statement in C I used to implement such s decision structure in its simplest form – that of selecting a statement to be executed only if a condition is satisfied. Syntax: if(condtion) statement executed if condition is true When an executing program encounters the if statement, the condition is evaluated to determine its numerical value, which is then interpreted as either true or false. If the condition evaluates to any non-0 value (positive or negative), the condition is considered as a “true” condition and the statement following the if is executed; otherwise this statement is not executed. Relational Operators In C Relational operator | Meaning | Example | < | Less than | age < 30 | > | Greater than | height > 6.2 | <= | Less than or equal to | taxable <= 200000 | >= | Greater than or equal to | temp >= 98.6 | == | Equal to | grade == 100 | != | Not equal to | number !=250 | In creating relational expressions, the relational operators must be typed exactly as given in the above table. Thus, although the following relational expressions are all valid: age > 40 length <= 50 temp >= 98.6 3 < 4 flag == done day != 5 The following are invalid: length =< 50 ...

...Individual assignment Jenna Lee CIS/207 December 18, 2014 Krisda Cripe Individual assignment In the world today, there are many companies and homes who own computers. Computers that store personal information, which can be stolen by hackers. It is important to install anti-virus software and ensure their personal computers are secured with passwords. In the military, they have top security firewalls, with these security measures hackers are not able to transfer personal information. Gene Spafford states, “The only truly secure system is one that is powered off, cast in a block of concrete and sealed in a lead-lined room with armed guards.” Spafford,G. (2012). Keeping your system updated increases the protection of important information, although it is hard to maintain a track record of updates. There are many ways to ensure the disposal of personal data is performed properly, one way to dispose data is to completely erase the information in the system and hard drive. Data storage depends on the current space of your hard drive, but it is important for security measures to be installed and updated frequently. In a computer, there is a control panel to control the users of your computer system, setting up a password for users to specifically view certain websites and also a folder in which only the authorized account holder may access. Identity theft is the most common thing that happens when information is stored without ensuring the security protection on computers are...

...650 INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENTS AND INFORMATION This detailed syllabus describes the two individual papers that you write for the class. It also expands on what is involved in class participation, for which you get an individual grade. Detailed instructions for what to prepare as you do the readings for each week appear in the Course Schedule. Also note that the Course Schedule shows additional individual deliverables that you may need to bring to class each week (such as the cognitive style self-assessment that you bring to class early in the semester). Since much of the class involves reflection on your own and others actions in the team and individual behaviors, students find it helpful to keep a weekly journal for notes on your own learning, your self-assessment of your role in the team, and key incidents in the team. These journals are private and for your use only but cab provide well-grounded and concrete “data” for your team assessment and improvement paper and are therefore encouraged.

Who was the sender? UDM office. Who was the receiver? Primary and Alternate Point of Contact. What was the message? Change start time of meeting. What channel was used to send the message? Work phone message. What was the misunderstanding that occurred? The Primary Point of Contact checked the work phone message but did not let me know that the monthly meeting start time was 30 minutes later. How could the misunderstanding have been avoided? The Primary Point of Contact could of told me verbally right after checking the message or left me a note or e-mailed me the message. The role of the sender was supervisor and receiver was worker. What did I learn about the communication process from this activity? Communication can be sent in many different ways. What seemed to be the main causes of the misunderstandings? Not relaying the message to the individual who is attending the meeting. Another misunderstanding I experienced when communicating with someone else at work was a briefing date change. Who was the sender? Supervisor. Who was the receiver? Me. What was the message? Briefing date change. What channel was used to send the message? E-Mail. What was the misunderstanding...

...Jie Chai (Jessie) MACC-663-OL1 Paul Zikmund Due Date: Sep.15th Individual assignment 2 “The Fraud Triangle is a model for explaining the factors that cause someone to commit occupational fraud”; it is widely used within business companies. It consists of three components that, together, lead to fraudulent behavior. Those three factors that must be present at the same time in order for an ordinary person to commit fraud: pressure, opportunity and rationalization. Michael D. Frenza has mentioned it in his article “Fraud perpetrators usually have a non-sharable pressure, they recognize a perceived opportunity, and then they rationalize their actions”. It is so important for companies to incorporate the fraud triangle theory in order to reduce the risk of misconduct within their organization. A company must recognize the common elements in most fraud cases. Once an employee has a pressure, they must find an opportunity to remedy their problem. There are a lot of opportunities within the companies for them. For example, the weak internal controls that fail to prevent, lack of management by top managers, irregular of auditors. When they take the advantage of those opportunities, they rationalize their actions. Most of them don’t realize they are Criminals. They all have one common sense that they will pay back money later to make up the economic losses. It seems like not a big deal for them. The pressure component of the Fraud Triangle is not easily controlled by companies...

...nt Team Reflection Week 4 Team D Reflection Christopher Gonzalez, Jennifer Mai, Leonel Perez QNT 351 March 7, 2014 Mr. Victor Ornelas Week 4 Team D Reflection In week four, Team D read about the steps in testing a research hypothesis, comparing the means of two or more groups, and calculating the correlation between two variables. The following paper will go in to more depth on what was discussed and what we learned as a team as well as individuals. The team also was able to go over the Mystat lab that we were assigned in the individual assignment. In step one a team would state a null hypothesis as well as an alternate hypothesis. The null hypothesis is used only for testing. We either reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. The alternate hypothesis is accepted if sample data provide enough evidence that the null hypothesis is false. No matter what the problem looks like the null hypothesis will always contain the equal sign. This is true because since the null hypothesis is being tested there is a need for a specific value to be seen in the calculations. When comparing the means of two or more groups the team must state the null hypothesis. Random samples of each population must be chosen to show the formula in a working status. To get a more accurate sample a higher number of the populations should be used. An independent sample T-test is used to compare the means of two or more groups. Pooled variance can be used if the variances of the two populations...
