The Elora Jean & Co. owner has come to you asking for guidance on a few issues that were brought to her attention. With the rapidly growing workforce, an increasing number of employees have requested extended time off from work. The owner does not want to grant the time off because of its effect on productivity.

 

When asked for examples of the requests, she provides you with the following scenarios:

 

• Employee #1 has been with Elora Jean & Co. for 13 months. She has requested time off to help care for her terminally ill mother-in-law. She is not sure how long she will need to be out of work, but it could be as long as 3 months.
• Employee #2 has been with Elora Jean & Co. for 18 months. His wife just had a baby, and he is asking to take 6 weeks off of work to help with the new responsibilities at home.
• Employee #3 developed health problems since her start with Elora Jean & Co. 7 months ago. Her work attendance is unpredictable. She has exhausted all of her sick days and advised her supervisor that her doctor is requiring her to stay home for a period of 6 weeks.
• Employee #4, who has been with Elora Jean since the company started, has a son that has been called to active duty for the military. Her son, who is a single parent, has a 3-year-old daughter who needs to be cared for. The employee wants to take 8 weeks off work to get her granddaughter situated and transitioned into a new routine as her father leaves to fulfill his military responsibilities abroad.

 

As the human resources (HR) consultant, you have many questions, and you would like to gather all of the necessary information before providing additional guidance or recommendations. You are aware of the company’s legal limitations and discretions, such as the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The owner has also advised you that the company has no formal leave policy for any type of employee absence, other than 7 paid sick days per year.

 

After conducting your research, in a memo to the owner, address the following questions:

 

• Considering the Elora Jean & Co. work environment and history (124 employees, in business for 18 months, mix of union and nonunion), is the company currently exposed to any legal risk by not having a defined leave policy in place? If so, what are the risks and the penalties for violation?
• Of the 4 employee cases described, discuss whether each one would qualify for FMLA leave. Why or why not?
• For employees who do not qualify under FMLA, what would you recommend to the company? Explain other employee leave options for the company without compromising the company’s financial objectives.
• Develop a sample leave policy to be presented to the company owner. Be sure that the policy covers the key components of a comprehensive leave policy, including requirements for eligibility, leave benefits provided, job restoration, pay, and benefits status while on leave. Outline a summary of your recommendations to the company owner, and advise her about the value of implementing this type of policy.

This assignment, you will take on the role of a supervisor at a juvenile detention center. You have been charged with training psychology interns on the salience of risk and protective factors. This is important information they must consider when assessing this population or providing treatment. You will utilize the selected articles to support your assertions.

As part of your training for the interns, you will create a scripted Microsoft PowerPoint presentation that covers the following:

• Examine the risk factors and the various protective factors that may mitigate the level of risk.
• Identify any gender differences that impact the salience of these factors.

Be sure to include detailed speaker’s notes that elaborate on the main points of each slide. Also include a title slide and a slide listing your references in APA format. Include complete reference details for your selected peer-reviewed articles.

The east India company introduced many economic changes in India in the 18th and early 19th century.this transformation fundamentally altered the nation of Indian economy. do you agree? explain briefly in about 20 to 25 sentences.

Read the Case Study for “Johnny” and review/score the DSM-5 Parent/Guardian-Rated Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Measure—Child Age 6–17 form completed by the mother (attached). What information do you gather from the data in this instrument? What will you do next—based on the information from the Level 1 Measure? Utilize the DSM-5 Parent/Guardian-Rated Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Measure—Child Age 6–17 measure to differentiate between issues associated with typical childhood behaviors and clinically-significant psychiatric phenomena (psychopathology).

1. Based on your findings, do you assess that “Johnny” needs a formal referral to a pediatric psychiatrist/psychologist/counselor?
2. Assign the appropriate DSM 5 diagnoses for “Johnny” in descending order, from the dominant, to the least dominant. For each diagnosis you assign, provide an explanation of the diagnostic criteria you assessed to be compelling, as found in the DSM 5 diagnostic criteria monograph for each disorder. What diagnostic impression do you reach based on the information gathered about Johnny? Explain your rationale in ruling-out other diagnoses.
3. Next, review the articles provided and react to the point of views presented in the article. Do you believe that ADHD disorders are over diagnosed in the US?  Select and defend your position.

Do the Factors of Education and Family Background Affect Sibling Success and Relationship Among Families?

During the week, select only ONE option (either Option I or Option II) and discuss the following with your classmates. Be sure to use the provided course materials and feel free to share additional information you find through your own research.

Discussion Topic Option I:

• Describe a physical trait you possess that you could potentially pass on to your own children. Using what you learned from the Inheritance of Individual Traits animation, consider the following. Let’s pretend you have 4 children, and 2 of the 4 children also possess your characteristic. Meanwhile the other biological parent of your children does not possess the trait.
• Do you think this trait could be dominant or recessive?
• Based upon your response, describe why it would or would not be possible for this trait to “skip” a generation.
• Patterns of inheritance within organisms like pea plants, fruit flies, mice, and others are somewhat easy to determine since we can easily control their mating practices. Apart from controlling who mates with who, what other characteristics make species like these ideal for studying genetics?
• What are some of the challenges when studying human inheritance of traits like the one you chose for this scenario?

Discussion Topic Option II:

• Describe a health problem that you believe has a genetic component (at least partially inherited). Would you be interested in having genetic testing to determine whether you carry a genetic mutation for a particular disorder or a genetic predisposition for a disease? Why/why not? What are the advantages and disadvantages of determining your predisposition?
• Using the resources provided in the prompt and in the unit’s web resources, explore the current state of research for the health problem you described above. If you did not identify an inherited health condition within your family, then choose a disease that interests you or impacts a friend or other family member.
• Focus only on one of the following as they relate to the genetics of the disease.
• Share what you learn regarding research into the disease and look for similarities between the diseases you and your classmates describe:
  • Cause
  • Testing/Screening/Prevention
  • Treatments/Therapies/Cures

Remember to read the Discussion requirements, found in the Unit 7 “Directions” Icon.

A financial team has been properly selected and charged to proceed with its analysis of EEV’s financial statements. In the course of its evaluation, it will be assessing the firm’s operating performance, benchmarking its competitors, and looking at the industry using financial ratios as its source of measurement.

The income statement measures the firm’s profitability over a period of time: 1 month, 1 quarter, or 1 year. The statement focuses on the operations of the firm and explains what was produced and sold. In essence, it summarizes revenues generated and the results.

Tony understands that managing profitability involves overseeing 3 interrelated factors: volume, cost, and price. He has given you the job of conducting an in-depth analysis of EEV’s operating performance. You will analyze the following factors:

• • Sales volume, cost, and price of each specific product
  • Each product’s contribution to sales in terms of profit
  • The relationship between sales and supportive employment

Tony has made it clear that he expects you to initiate a constructive discussion by describing your findings both in narrative form and through an organized numeric presentation.

Click here to view the EEV income statement, and then complete the following in your paper:

• • Review the sales volume, cost, and price of each specific product.
  • Review each product’s contribution to sales in terms of profit.
  • Describe the relationship between sales and supportive employment.

Provide an Excel spreadsheet that depicts your findings along with your analysis.

Please submit your assignment.

For assistance with your assignment, please use your text, Web resources, and all course materials.

• Objectives:
  • Describe the components of financial statements and their related footnotes.
  • Utilize appropriate tools and procedures in analyzing financial data to determine the company’s financial position, operating results, and resource flows.

Using the geologic map of Virginia (attached), answer the following questions:

1. Is the region in the extreme northwest corner to the Potomac River strongly folded or strongly faulted?
2. Is the region from the southeast corner to Harrison Island along the Potomac strongly folded or strongly faulted?
3. In the southwestern part of the map, along the Shenandoah River, the sediments are only Quaternary in age, yet they are surrounded by much older Cambrian sediments.  How do you explain this?
4. In the southeastern corner of the map, locate Rockville and Gaithersburg.  Notice that they are separated by the Plummer’s Island Fault.  Is Rockville moving atop Gaithersburg or is Gaithersburg moving atop Rockville?
5. Find Martinsburg, WV, in the extreme northwest corner.  Now locate Martinsburg, MD, which is just to the to the east of Harrison Island and Mason Island along a bend in the Potomac in the south central area of the map.  Which is surrounded by the older rock?
6. Locate Long Marsh Run just south of the West Virginia/ Virginia border on the southwestern side of the map.  Which way is it flowing?

   How many different ages of rock would you encounter along its course?

7. In the middle image at the bottom, to the far right, you see that the younger Prettyboy Schist lies beneath the older Mather Gorge Formation.  How can older rock be found atop younger rock?
