material engineering

Nature-Inspired
Material Engineers;
Biomimicry means to imitate life or nature.
Based on the expression saying, “Nature knows best”, then biomimicry
is a way of learning from nature. It is a way to observe nature in action and
use that knowledge to inspire new ideas. Engineers often look at the
nature in general and to amazing characteristics of animals and plants to
create new ideas to develop new products or materials.
Individually
do the following;
·
Look at
nature and link observed phenomena to a material engineering problem and technology
·
Learn the
fundamentals and opportunities of the nature-inspired material engineering
approach
·
Apply
fundamental principles, borrowed from natural systems to material engineering
problems
·
Recognize
situations where a nature-inspired material engineering approach might bring up

FYI – This presentation needs to be a 5 minute speech. According to a google search;

A person speaks on average 120 to 160 words a minute, which means the average five-minute presentation will be anywhere from 600 to 800 words. That means every word should be carefully chosen to support the central idea of your presentation.

Speaker notes must be between 600-800 words.

Sex activity

SEXTIVITY II
This sextivity focuses primarily on sexual fantasies, sexual realities, and contemporary sexual relationships. The assignment involves two parts. Part I involves reflecting on and discussing a sexual fantasy. Part II requires you to “reimagine” digital dating in order to “realize” your sexual fantasy. You must complete both parts of the assignment for full credit.
Have fun with this sextivity. Don’t worry about writing a “perfect paper.” That isn’t the point of this assignment! However, make sure to write professionally and follow the prompt and formatting instructions.
Feel free to label your papers with “Part I” and “Part II”. Upload your assignment as one WORD or PDF document only. Make sure your papers are edited for grammatical/spelling errors, double-spaced, 12-point font, and have your name in the upper left corner of the first page. Papers will probably be between 5-8 pages (Parts I & II in total). If you write more, no worries. If you write less, you’re not writing enough!
Make sure to upload your Sextivity as either a WORD or PDF document. “PAGES” or “RTF” documents are unacceptable as Canvas cannot open them. If we cannot open your file, you will not receive credit. Make sure to turn in your assignment on the Canvas Discussion Section site.
PART I
“Engaging a Sexual Fantasy”
First, think about one of your favorite sexual fantasies.
Call to mind one of your favorite sexual fantasies. This could be a fantasy that you have simply thought about, one you use for masturbation or during a sexual experience, or one you wish to enact when you begin having sex with someone. It could be a recent fantasy, a recurring fantasy or one you had years ago. If you’ve never had a sexual fantasy, try to imagine one now! It can be simple, elaborate, specific, general, or romantic (if you self-identify as asexual).
Next, describe the sexual fantasy on paper.
Sit down and write out your entire sexual fantasy from beginning to end. You can write it like a story in first-person. Don’t worry; you won’t be turning this portion of the assignment in for credit. Be as specific and clear as possible with your fantasy.
Then, read aloud your sexual fantasy to another person.
When you are finished writing your sexual fantasy, read the entire fantasy you wrote about to another person. It can be ANYONE you choose. Someone you know, someone you don’t know, a lover/partner, a family member, a friend, a fellow student, a random acquaintance, whoever you wish! This might be uncomfortable. TRUST THE PROCESS. A little discomfort is quite normal – and often helps us learn more about the topic we’re studying. You can choose to read the fantasy out loud either in person, over the phone, or skype/facetime/zoom.
Finally, write about your fantasy reflecting, writing and sharing experience. (This is the only written portion of Part I you will turn in for credit).
When you are finished writing and verbally describing your sexual fantasy, answer the following questions:
What is the basic idea/premise of your fantasy? You do not need to submit what you wrote or describe it in great detail. Just a brief summary. Why did you choose that particular fantasy to write about?
What was it like writing out your entire fantasy on paper? Did you feel like you had to hide it? Censor it? Edit it?
To whom did you choose to read your fantasy aloud? Why did you choose that person? What did you say to the person before you read your fantasy aloud? After you read the fantasy?
What were the person’s reactions (verbal/non-verbal) to your fantasy?
What was it like to read your fantasy out loud to another person?
How did you read the fantasy (e.g. what voice did you use, intonation, volume)? Why do you think you read the fantasy the way to did to the person?
How do you think writing about your sexual fantasy and reading it aloud to another person impacts your sexual fluency, sexual literacy, and sexual agency?
PART II
“Reimagining Digital Dating”
While this week’s lecture focuses on fantasies, next week’s lecture is devoted to contemporary intimate relationships. Part II of this sextivity will get you thinking about these lectures and connecting the course content using critical, creative and applied thinking. It also focuses on interactive geosocial dating technology!
Over the past several decades, people have used newspapers, telephones, magazines, websites, and more recently hook-up/dating apps to meet partners for a wide range of sexual and/or romantic encounters. These have been especially useful for people to not only put their fantasies/desires out in the open, but also for others to respond and fulfill them. And with the advent of geosocial apps (those that allow you to “see” who is nearby thanks to GPS), it has become even easier to “find” potential partners who have similar interests/desires/fantasies.
First, design a dating/hook-up app that focuses on sexual fantasies. Maybe it focuses on a particular kind of sexual fantasy (such as the one you wrote about) or a fantasy genre or a particular group of people based on a social category (gender, sexual orientation, age, etc.). You might need to do some googling/searching to research what apps/sites are out there already. Use them as inspiration and create your very own app premise. Write down a short description of the overall premise of your dating/hook-up app as it pertains to fantasies and your design idea (e.g. who is the target audience, what are your ideas for it, what are the goals, what is the interface like (swiping, clicking, Facebook/Instagram linked, etc.) and how might users “use” it to realize their sexual fantasies?
Next, NAME your app and write a short (1-3 sentence) description to be used for marketing purposes on app stores. Please “BOLD” the name of your app when you introduce it in your paper. The description should be something short, catchy, and convey what the app is about (like other apps in the app store have for their descriptions).
Then, create a list of five key profile questions that users must answer to develop a user profile based on the fantasy you’re focusing on for the assignment. Make sure to tailor them to the sexual desires/fantasies aspect of your app. Avoid questions that ask about variables like age, gender, race/ethnicity, etc. The questions should instead reflect the fantasy aspect of your proposed app.
——————
Once again, make sure to upload your Sextivity as either one entire WORD or PDF document. “PAGES” or “RTF” documents are unacceptable as Canvas cannot open them. If we cannot open your file, you will not receive credit. Turn in your assignment in your Canvas Discussion Section sites.
This paper is worth ten points (and 10% of your overall grade). Address each step thoughtfully and thoroughly and you will receive credit. Be as detailed as possible with your responses and write in complete sentences. Do not use bullet points. You will not be graded on grammar, however it can definitely be a distraction if you have spelling/grammar errors. Edit and spell-check!

1. Enhance the problem-solving, coping and developmental capabilities of people.

2. Link people with systems that provide them with resources, services and opportunities. (What services and opportunities would clients in this field need? In other words, what referrals might you need to make?)

3. Promote the effectiveness and human operation of systems that provide people with resources and services. (What changes need to be made in the service delivery systems in this field? How would those changes make the system more effective and/or more humane?)

4. Develop and improve social policy. (What new policies or improvements on old policies need to be made? How would those changes help clients in this field?)

5. Promote Human and Community Well-Being (What community education would need to be done in this field?)

Modalities:

1. Social Work with Individuals: In what ways would you work with individuals in this field? What types of individuals would you work with?

2. Social Work with Families: Would you work with families in this field? Why or why not? In what ways would you work with families?

3. Social Work with Groups: Which types of groups listed in the book would you be likely to use in this field? Why did you pick those? How would those types of groups be helpful to clients in this field?

4. Social Work with Organizations: With which organizations would you be likely to work in this field? (This means what organization would you work for and what other organizations might you work with?) What difficulties might you have with doing so? Give examples.

5. Social Work with Communities: (Note: In your Generalist Social Work paper, many of you confused this area with working with organizations. What this refers to is community organizing.) How would you use community organizing in this field? For example, if you were a mediator (not one of the fields you can pick for this assignment), you might want to organize a group of people who wanted to pass a law requiring divorce mediation before divorce, or victim-offender reconciliation. Which of the three models would you be most likely to use as an organizer in this field. Why would you use that model in this field?

Self-Knowledge:

1. What are your values and experiences that you would bring to working in this field?

2. How would those help or hinder you?

3. How well do your values match accepted social work values in this field? (Be specific and clear. Don’t just say, “Yeah, they match.”)

4. What knowledge or skills would you need to acquire to be effective in this field?

Horizontal and Vertical Analysis & Financial Ratios (Excel)

The corporation is HCA Healthcare.
Link:https://s23.q4cdn.com/949900249/files/doc_financials/2021/ar/HCA-2021-Annual-Report.pdf

For the horizontal anlaysis: you have to show changes year to year in numbers and in percentages
For vertical anylsis: on the IS show each item as a % of net sales. Fro the B/S show each item as a % of Total Assets. For cash Flwo Stmt show each item as a % of cash flows from operations.
Look at the guide :
https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/knowledge/finance/analysis-of-financial-statements/

Horizontal and vertical analysis will allow you to begin analyzing the data in each financial statement. These techniques are part of analytical procedures. If you have never performed a horizontal or vertical analysis of financial statements, the textbook provides an example. I also created a video that is uploaded into the Term Research Paper webpage that walks you through the process.
Video examples of Horizontal and Vertical Analyses in excel:
The following are links to several good videos that walk you through the horizontal and vertical analysis process.


Requirement #4: Financial Ratios
Using the data in the Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement you developed, you are to independently calculate all the ratios on the following table labeled Required Common Ratios to Calculate, for each year, over at least a two to three year period (depending on the ratio). These common ratios are found in most accounting textbooks. Ratio analysis looks at the relationships of the different parts of financial statements. Combining horizontal and vertical analyses with ratio analysis provides powerful analytical tools to expose areas of risk for decision makers. The reason that you should calculate these ratios over at least two to three years is two-fold. First, you will begin to see more meaningful patterns beyond horizontal and vertical analyses. Second, you will use the data to create charts to visualize the patterns side by side with other ratios

Required Common Ratios to Calculate
Three Liquidity Ratios:
Current ratio

Inventory turnover

Receivables turnover

Two Solvency Ratios:
Debt to total assets

Debt service coverage ratio

Four profitability ratio:
Gross profit margin

Profit margin ratio

Return on assets ratio

Asset turnover ratio

You are encouraged to use any other ratios that you deem may be useful to your analysis. There are ratios available that are particular to certain industries that we have not listed. If a particular ratio does not make sense for your corporation do not use it. We uploaded a video into the Term Research Paper webpage walks you through the ratio analysis requirement.
