Xacc 280 Week 6 Checkpoint

I found the central tendencies, the 5-point summary and the standard deviation of both of my variables; including for the variable that has data for 2 years. Interestingly, the variables had some common results. However, there were more differences then similarities, as each calculation had a variety of results. For example, variable X I calculated both years (1990 and 2012) and I knew already that each country had major differences between the two, but I think that affected the results in each step (the central tendencies, the 5-point summary and the standard deviation). It is noticeable to see how the mean and median in 1990 is lower than the mean in 2012, and this carried out through the rest of the next calculations. Comparing these findings to variable Y, I see that there is a tremendous

In my current position, as a Registered Respiratory Therapist, I work for a large pulmonary office where my main focus is to take care of patient’s needs by teaching them about their pulmonary disease and helping them improve their breathing. One way that we achieve this goal is by enrolling them in Pulmonary Rehabilitation. Our hypothesis is that through education and exercise; patients improve daily routines, feel better about themselves and function more independently. The null hypothesis would be that Pulmonary Rehabilitation does not help patients improve daily routines, feel better or function more independently. The alternative hypothesis is that Pulmonary Rehabilitation will improve daily routines, help the patients to feel better, and function more independently.

After reading Chapter 6 of the textbook and the materials I found that I was struggling to understand the material more than usual. Before reading this chapter I had a slight idea of how much effort went into keeping track of the costs and inventory. The most that I knew was that you had to keep track of it, I didn’t know that there are different ways to keep track of those costs. After reading more into the different ways to keep track of inventory I found that the one that stuck out most to me and was the one that I spent the most time trying to understand was the LIFO (Last In First Out).

Although cash might only have a small dollar amount on the balance sheet, there are many reasons that an auditor might spend a lot of time auditing the cash account:

I passed two different tests and got almost the exact same results. The first test shows me that I have four clearly expressed intelligences: Kinesthetic, Logical, Intrapersonal and Visual/Spatial. The second test gave me three top intelligences: Kinesthetic, Logical and Intrapersonal. I can say that all results correspond to reality. It is true that I love sports. I play tennis around 11 years. Also, I like math because of it I chose accounting discipline. In addition, it is completely true that I am an intrapersonal. Using these results I may think about my future career. However, I already have chosen one and it is correct decision this test proved my thoughts. Also, Kinesthetic intelligence provides me a chance to go in for sport. Logical intelligence supports my decision to be an accountant or an economist. However Intrapersonal intelligence shows me that I may reach successes working as CEO, an entrepreneur or even a psychologist.

In this scenario, I envisioned Jenny as a single college student, living alone in an apartment within walking distant from her campus and part-time job. Her car was a high school graduation gift from her parents; therefore, she does not have a car payment expense. She is still covered under her parents’ dental and health insurance plans while attending college so she does not have to allocate money for those expenses either. Garbage and recycling services at her apartment complex are included in her monthly rent. Having access to the internet is vital for her college courses so Jenny could bundle her cable, internet, and landline services for a discount.

When it comes to vision, we see things based on the light reflected from surfaces. The reflected light waves enter the eye through the cornea at the front of the eye, it's resized at the pupil, focused by the lens, and hits the retina at the back. The light is then detected by rods and cones, photoreceptors, which alters the light into electrical signals. The optic nerve transmits those vision signals to the lateral geniculate nucleus, where visual information is transmitted to the visual cortex of the brain then converts into the objects that we see.

Communication protocols are necessary to properly manage the amount and type of information that will be communicated. Communication protocols are advantageous for a variety of reasons, including, better management and control of the flow of project-related information, to minimize misinformation and maximize the sharing of accurate information across the appropriate communication channels, and to provide structure to the formal and informal communications that are shared with external stakeholders.

•Process Division expenses and receipts accurately and in a timely manner. Responsible for division day to day operations, ordering, deposits, recaps, correspondence, IT (computers, phones, printers, etc.), organization, and other tasks as needed. Negotiate reductions in expenses for office and event needs.

The key can be changes and unique to each sender and receiver. ("Symmetric encryption,”) states, “There are two types of symmetric algorithms. Stream algorithms (Stream ciphers) and Block algorithms (Block ciphers).” Stream ciphers only encrypt one bit at a time. This can make this cipher faster than block ciphers, but stream ciphers have a security gap that can be harmful for specific types of attacks. These specific attacks can cause information to be compromised. Block ciphers encrypts information in blocks instead of doing it bit by bit. The size of the blocks is usually 64 bits. Triple DES and AES are the most popular symmetric algorithms that use block ciphers.

You brought up a great point. Companies cannot blame their suppliers or contractors for damages their products or services in costumers’ health, employees, environment or the society. I believe companies’ need to ownership of their mistakes for not ensuring its whole supply chain meets their expectations and companies’ regulations. For example, according to Thompson, Arthur, Peteraf, Gamble, M. J. and A.J. III. (2012), “IKEA’s initial plan to combat the use of child labor by its suppliers involved (1) contracts that threatened immediate cancellation and (2) random audits by a third-party partner” (p. 259). I also believe that companies must be open and inform communities when events like oil spill happen, although it impacts their reputation, because keeping unethical business secrets will generate controversies and a higher damage when they are discovered.

Yes, I achieved those goals I want to learn. First of all, how to make someone happy when he/she is sad and how to change the gloomy environment into a happy environment. Moreover, do those things that give happiness to someone and they remind you forever. Furthermore, how to ask someone who needs help. Talk with the person in need with a polite and calm way so that he or she will ready to share their problems with you. I also learnt how to judge a person and about several customs and cultures. I built my confidence strong which helps me throughout my life. Also, enhance my mental horizon regarding working with people in the different community. I built strong speaking skills. These are the things I achieved from this experience.

Theoretically, the use of collaboration tools may be required by the company as one of its policies. However, in many cases, project managers freely select collaboration tools as long as they meet the project’s goals and objectives and support the implementations to achieve such goals and objectives. In addition, when selecting such tools, project managers need to consider to additional criteria such as the ability to access of all stakeholders, the ability to understand and use such tools of all stakeholders

Communicate with a project management dashboard that allows you to see what’s happening when it’s happening. You can even set up email notifications so you’re never out of the loop with any changes. Keep all of this in the cloud, so it’s in your pocket and on your laptop no matter where you’re working from.

Companies want to let employees collaborate in a manner that is similar to the way they work outside the office, using a tool that would let people create conversations, perform status updates, upload and share files, and set up workgroups for small project team.
