PART 1 – BRAIN COVERINGS AND DIVISIONS PURPOSE: Through self-directed learning, you will appreciate the coverings and housing of the brain within the cranium from an anatomical and functional perspective. PROCEDURES: 1. Using primal pictures, navigate to Brain – Meninges section. Set layer level to 9. (cranium). 2. Navigate each layer, from 9 through to cortical gray matter (layer 1). RESULTS: 1. Develop your own flowchart/diagram/schematic that illustrates the meningeal layers and related spaces that cover the brain. Provide a succinct narrative description of each, incorporating it into a “bubble” or side bar. Each narrative should be in your own words, and should not simply “regurgitate” the primal text. Use correct anatomical terminology, as well as precise anatomical terms of orientation (superficial, deep, lateral, medial, etc…). CONCLUSIONS: 1. Provide a brief “reaction” to what you have learned about brain covering anatomy, and how this has formed your view of brain housing, function and /or injury. APPLICATION: 1. You have just met a 9 year old boy at bedside, who was referred by his physician for a cognitive screening following a motor vehicle accident which resulted in frontal lobe contusions and acceleration/deceleration injuries. Surgeons removed a large frontal subdural hematoma. This young patient is upset, and somewhat agitated but able to carry on a simple conversation. You, his speech pathologist, have been asked to screen his cognitive function and provide him and his family with insight and awareness/education about why he is in the hospital. Provide a 1-2 paragraph lay description of how the brain is housed in the cranium, describing how the brain is both protected from injury, but also vulnerable to it. Use analogy and metaphor as you see fit, and it understandable to a 9 year old. PART 2 – CORTICAL STRUCTURES PURPOSE: Through self-directed learning, you will appreciate and conceptualize structures of the brain from inferior to superior, and the relationship of the telencephalon to the other encephalons. METHOD: Navigate primal pictures, and visually “dissect” the brain from myelencephalon structures to telencephalon. RESULTS: Write-up your findings in a summative format, describing how the encephalons are organized from inferior/deep most structures to superior. IMPRESSION: What impressed you about the dissection process? How does this modify your internal conception of the brain and its structures?

so this will be an excel spread sheet . 2 pages Consider the following scenario: Andre has asked you to evaluate his business, Andre’s Hair Styling. Andre has five barbers working for him. (Andre is not one of them.) Each barber is paid $9.90 per hour and works a 40-hour week and a 50-week year, regardless of the number of haircuts. Rent and other fixed expenses are $1,750 per month. Hair shampoo used on all clients is $0.40 per client. Assume that the only service performed is the giving of haircuts (including shampoo), the unit price of which is $12. Andre has asked you to find the following information. •Find the contribution margin per haircut. Assume that the barbers’ compensation is a fixed cost. Show calculations to support your answer. •Determine the annual break-even point, in number of haircuts. Support your answer with an appropriate explanation. Show calculations to support your answer. •What will be the operating income if 20,000 haircuts are performed? Show calculations to support your answer. •Suppose Andre revises the compensation method. The barbers will receive $4 per hour plus $6 for each haircut. What is the new contribution margin per haircut? What is the annual break-even

Essay Topic: Online Censorship

Compare and contrast Online Censorship between Japan and Sweden

Please use these quotes provided
Quotes:

…the Swedish government in addition passed a legislative package that would grant the National Defense Radio Establishment (Forsvarets Radio Anstalt – FRA) extensive surveillance power over online activities, in an effort to combat external threats6. (Munch 2013)

In Sweden there is no law that compels Internet service providers (ISPs) to block access to sites. ISPs voluntarily collaborate with police to block a centralized list of sites trafficking in child sexual abuse. (Geens 2012)

And yet such a system is not ideal, argues Marcin de Kaminski, an Internet researcher at the department of Sociology of Law at Lund University. Thats because there is no transparency in how the blacklist is maintained. There is no way to legally appeal a list entry, for instance, he says, and there is no third-party control of what is actually blocked. (Geens 2012)

The risk, then, is that an unregulated block list could end up being used as a political tool perhaps not in Sweden, where trust in the police is high and there is widespread disdain for censorship but in other countries looking to adopt the Swedish model of Internet regulation. Even though the Swedish blocklist has these flaws, says de Kaminski, it is used as a role model in the European discussion about block lists. (Geens 2012)

…the government released a final report, compiled by a study group set up by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, which set out plans to monitor and regulate the Internet in Japan. The proposed regulation targets all Web content, including online forms of traditional media such as newspaper articles and television broadcasting, while additionally covering user-generated content such as blogs and Web pages. (Salzberg 2008)

Days later, at a meeting on Dec. 10, the same ministry requested that mobile-phone carriers NTT DoCoMo, KDDI, SoftBank and Willcom commence filtering Web access on mobile phones for users aged under 18. Responding to concerns over online dating sites, the filtering policy is broad in scope and covers forums, chat rooms and social-network services. (Salzberg 2008)

With all these changes, the Japanese Internet the future medium of communication in Japan may come out looking very different. Sadly, it may only be once this happens that its users, looking back with the benefit of hindsight, appreciate what they once had and what they lost. (Salzberg 2008)

…gambling websites that did not have a license to operate in Sweden would be blocked. And ISPs of course would be responsible for blocking off access to their websites, right down to the IP level. Even though the investigation is clearly in its early stages, the fact that it is being considered at all has come as a shock to Swedes and the broader internet policy community. Sweden has maintained a firm line against any form of filtering or blocking, even when under intense pressure from other countries. (McCarthy 2016)

Although Swedish law is quite firm on the issue of filtering and blocking, the current government has repeatedly signaled that it has a different philosophy. It has repeatedly fought in court and lost to have the Pirate Bay”s Swedish domains suspended. (McCarthy 2016)

It also passed a law requiring ISPs to store all the IP addresses of its customers in an effort to track down illegal file sharers. That was also struck down by the courts but the government held two investigations in order to find a way to reapply it and then do so back in 2014. (McCarthy 2016)

CNN and other news sources seemed unaware that in Japan, unlike in the United States, laws that restrict depictions of sexuality in media actually are a very serious freedom of speech issue, and have been so since immediately after WWII. (Rebaza 2014)

Many feel that bureaucrats and police have no business deciding what people are allowed to read in order to protect a vague and constantly-shifting idea of “public morality” (Rebaza 2014)

Obscenity issues were shown to be connected with copyright problems in 1999 when a a female creator of sexually explicit doujinshi for the popular children”s game and anime series Pokemon was arrested for copyright infringement, apparently after someone complained about the explicit material to copyright holder Nintendo. (Rebaza 2014)

its a lighting design program for design school

My goal is to emphasize how light is perceived based on its location, theme, and surroundings. Light makes an experience available, a feeling contacted, and a moment lived. My areas of interest revolve around not only finding a solution, but more about the experiences one goes through around interacting with light; the experiences I create to affects others behaviors. Another area of interest is art installations that revolve around light and how it affects ones cultures and emotions. Furthermore, I am interested in Islamic art and architecture. Additionally, my thesis proposi- tion is communication through light, how it is created, manipulated, and measured.

My thesis is about how light is delivered to the viewers and un- derstanding the connection between light and space and its relationship to ones culture.

in my case i want to study the history of the 5 prayers in Islama and the reasoning behind the timing.
Also i am looking at the cultural aspect part of it as in the Islamic countries they listen to the call of prayer from all mosques at once allowing people to feel the spirituality of it.
However, in New York for example, although its a multicultural city, yet you can’t hear the call of prayers for many political, religious and cultural reasons

These specific 5 times are very important on daily basis, thus i am aiming to create and capture these moments and transform it using light even if people are not looking at their watches or not listening to the call of prayers.

I want a thesis proposal with thesis questions to be addressed later on throughout the paper.

I did put one page, when I find an expert, he/she can tell me how many pages need to add.

I got comments from my examiners in my viva. I have done 8 of them and still six.

I need you to review the 8 points I have done then do the six I didn’t which are below:

1. why it is useful to use UTAUT (in Introduction and Methodology)
2. what UTAUT-related hypotheses you can construct? e.g. age correlates with PEOU, PEOU correlates with intention to use and so on (in Introduction and Methodology)
3. how UTAUT informed the questionnaire design (in Methodology)
4. how you analysed the data to reveal the relationships between the UTAUT constructs (in Analysis)
5. why the new constructs you introduced are needed (how do you prove this?) (in Analysis and Results)
6. what you have proved with regard to UTAUT in other words does the model work for this case? i.e. does the data you have gathered tell the same story as other UTAUT studies? Does it work better when you introduce new constructs? (in Results and Conclusions) This needs to be your contribution to knowledge, not just running the questionnaire in Saudi Arabia.

points 4, 5 and 6 you really need someone who can help with the statistics. This also needs to relay on a close reading of other UTAUT studies, particularly their analysis sections. This one is a good example – http://sgo.sagepub.com/content/3/4/2158244013503837.full-text.pdf+html

The 8 points I have done and I need you to review them if they still need more work:

Based on discussed at the viva, the candidate needs to re-work extensively the thesis along the following key points:

1.The Research questions need to be more explicit and lead to a more deep investigation of the issues associated with the adoption and acceptance of mHealth. Specific dimensions of this analysis need to be made explicit (usability, technology and architecture issues, models and techniques)
2.The literature survey needs to strengthen references to current research in acceptance and usability of mHealth, current technological state-of-the-art and issues associated.
3.The research methods used need to be discussed and contrasted to other approaches and critically evaluated.
4.The approach to mHealth that is investigated needs to be made more clear, both in terms of the model and modes of interaction between patients and stakeholders, usability, technological options, architectures and limitations relevant to Diabetes and the KSA as well as other contexts relevant to the acceptance of such systems. More specific reference/analysis using either a real prototype of such an application, and/or existing (similar) applications needs to be made and evaluated.
5.The thesis should show the alignment of the results with either the research questions, hypotheses, or the UTAUT model (or both) through a table or other visual representation.

There are many programs currently in use today that advocate the prevention of delinquency in youth. In a 1-2 page paper identify at least two such prevention programs and describe the strategy each uses to further the cause of preventing these criminal acts by youth in today’s society.
