What do you do? What is the ethical approach in this situation? How do you treat the community knowing that you may have to watch some die while you reserve treatment for specific individuals?

The Ethics of Triage

You are a nurse in a Third World country in a small village of 150 people (adults and children – roughly equal in numbers). There is an outbreak of a deadly infection which is easily treated with a specific antibiotic. Untreated, the mortality rate is close to 100%. However, you only have enough to treat 25 adults or 50 children. Additional dosages are on their way but are not expected to arrive before the disease will run its course. Note that anyone over 11 is considered an adult and you are in as much danger from the infection as everyone else.

What do you do? What is the ethical approach in this situation? How do you treat the community knowing that you may have to watch some die while you reserve treatment for specific individuals?

Write a 2-3 page autobiographical narrative paper that explores the significant interactions you have had with technology during your life and analyzes what those interactions reveal about you .
o Your paper will tell readers what kind of technology user you are by sharing details about your key experiences with technology.
o Your paper should be written in chronological order, but you may use other structures  if they make sense for your story.

 Identify the potential business risks that apply to the projects being considered by the New Heritage Doll Company.

In this third milestone assignment for the final project, you will continue your analysis of the New Heritage Doll Company. Assuming the role of Emily
Harris, the firm’s financial analyst, your next step in the process is to perform a risk assessment of the two capital budgeting projects being considered. As we are
learning, risk can be identified and quantified, and this is a crucial step in the evaluation of any capital investment project. For this project involving the New
Heritage Doll Company, we will focus on the relevant internal risks that may be present. These risks include marketing, distribution, or technical issues
that may compromise the two projects’ success. For the purpose of weighing each project’s merit, how might these risks be measured and mitigated?
Prompt: To complete this third part of the final project, you will continue your analysis by conducting a risk assessment. Specifically, you will:
Identify the potential business risks that apply to the projects being considered by the New Heritage Doll Company,
Quantify the financial impacts of the risk , and
Select appropriate methods for mitigating those risks.
To do this, locate the relevant numbers from the case study and perform profitability index calculations. A profitability index can be used as an arbiter when
capital constraint effectively makes two projects mutually exclusive. In this instance, the NPVs of the two projects are nearly the same, but one project creates
more NPV per dollar of the capital budget expended. It is also an index maximizing choice.

Identity and freedom are important ideas presented in many of the poems from the Harlem Renaissance. What image of freedom have you found most powerful in the poems you have read in this unit so far?

The Harlem Renaissance dawned in an era of pervasive racism and segregation. Although legally “free,” many African Americans were still bound by ideas that had their roots in the slavery of earlier centuries.

Identity and freedom are important ideas presented in many of the poems from the Harlem Renaissance. What image of freedom have you found most powerful in the poems you have read in this unit so far?

The values of identity and freedom are not unique to particular times and places. As Hughes expresses in “Dream Variations,” all humans want to be able to develop their identities in freedom. What is required of a society to enable each individual to be true to his or her identity and be free to live by that identity?

Interpret the outcomes of the regression tables. How well does the overall model explain the difference in the housing prices?

QUESTION 1 (16P)
You are hired by a market research company in order to analyze the housing market in New York
City. You and your team are supposed to provide information about the housing prices and about
factors, that influence the prices of houses, to local politicians. Your team has developed certain
presumption about factors influencing the price of a real estate:
– H1: The more bathrooms a house has, the higher is the price of the house.
– H2: The more bedrooms a house has, the higher is the price of the house.
– H3: The more fireplaces a house has, the higher is the price of the house.
– H4: The older the house is, the lower is the price of a house.
Unfortunately, you are the only person in the team who knows how to conduct a quantitative analysis
and how to use SPSS. You have collected a random sample of 1057 houses in New York. In order to
investigate on your colleagues’ presumptions, you conducted a descriptive analysis, a correlation
analysis as well as a regression analysis in SPSS. Please find the document with the output tables in
canvas. Now you want to interpret your data.
1A: Provide an interpretation of the descriptive statistics of the variable “Price”. What to the different
values say about the housing prices in NY? As your clients (the politicians) have a very limited
knowledge of statistics, write in full sentences and use your own language to explain the different values in a clear and understandable way (N, range, minimum, maximum, mean, standard deviation,
skewness, kurtosis). (6P)
1B: Interpret the outcomes of the regression tables. How well does the overall model explain the
difference in the housing prices? Explain the different values per each variable in the coefficient table
– interpret the B-value, the Beta-value and the significance level for each variable. Use your own
language and explain your findings in full sentences. (5P)
1C: You want to find out, whether your colleagues’ presumptions about the influences on the housing
price are true. Test the hypothesis by using the provided output. Which hypothesis are supported by
your data? Which factor has the strongest influence on the housing price? Justify your answer by
referring to the output. (5p)

QUESTION 2 (10 P)
Anna is conducting a qualitative case study on bullying in middle school. She aims to explore
students’ perceptions of bullying and its impact on the school’s social environment. To conduct her
study, she needs to apply for funding. To do so, Anna needs to submit a proposal where she explains
her research methods. You need to help Anna develop this proposal by developing two sections of the
proposal: data collection, and data analysis sections. For the purpose of this proposal, you need to
answer the following questions (base your answers on scientific literature):
2A: Define and explain what a qualitative case study is. What is a case and how can we define a case?
(5P)
2B: Explain why a qualitative case study research method is suitable for her topic. (2P)
2C: What are the practical steps that Anna has to undertake to conduct her data collection? (3P)
QUESTION 3 (16P)
When we discuss about the quality and trustworthiness of qualitative research, we need other criteria
than in quantitative research. Traditionally, qualitative researchers assess the credibility,
transfer ability, dependability, and confirm ability of their research. Give a definition to each of the
categories and explain how researchers can ensure the presence of the criteria in their research. Your
answers must be based on scientific literature.
QUESTION 4 (3P)
Below the descriptions of three variables are provided. What is the measurement level of the
variables? Explain your answers.
4A: Family firm measure: the variable is coded as “1” when the company is a family firm and “0”
otherwise. (Baù et al, 2018)

4B: Performance measure: Firm performance is measured using Return on Assets (calculated as net
income divided by total assets), an established accounting-based performance indicator. (Ruigrok et
al, 2007)
4C: Number of employees: In the survey, respondents were asked to indicate whether the firm had 1)
less than 5 employees, 2) 5-50 employees, or 3) 51-150 employees. (adapted from Wei-Loon Koe et
al. 2014).
QUESTION 5 (5P)
Discuss how you can select a random sample for a quantitative study. Therefore, first
explain what a random sample is.
