How is the insect or arachnid in your photo relevant to Veterinary or Medical Entomology?

PLEASE PLEASE post the picture of the insect.
PLEASE follow the guideline carefully.

Scavenger Hunt!! Take a photo of an insect or arachnid (living or non-living) and describe a DIRECT, NEGATIVE impact that it has on animals and/or humans (e.g., bites, sucks blood, causes annoyance, transmits a pathogen, causes allergies, etc.). Make a post of your photo along with answers to the following prompts (see below) in this discussion group. Please read and carefully follow the guidelines below.

Please answer the following questions in your post:

a) What is the picture of?

-The posted photo is clear and in focus and the specimen is identifiable. (4 pts)
-Correctly identify the insect/arachnid. The exact scientific/species name is not required (e.g., ‘mosquito’ is sufficient).(2 pts)
-For help identifying your insect/arachnid, there are some useful apps such as seek.

b) When and where did you take or find the photo?

-Provide day, month, and year (1 pt)
-Provide specific location of where the photo was taken (e.g., ‘my apartment’), including the city/town and state or country (if outside the U.S). If found on the internet, please provide a working url (weblink) to the website or on-line resource where you found the photo (1 pt)

c) How is the insect or arachnid in your photo relevant to Veterinary or Medical Entomology?

-Conduct a web search to learn about the basic biology of the insect or arachnid in your photo (e.g., search Google for ‘mosquito basic biology’) and describe one fact that you found to be fascinating or ‘cool’ in 1-2 sentences (4 pts)
-Provide a working url (web link) to the website where you found the basic biology fact (1 pt)
-Conduct a web search to find a direct, negative impact that the insect or arachnid in your photo has on human and/or animal health (e.g., search Google ‘bed bug human health’) and describe this impact in 1-2 sentences (4 pts)
-Provide a working url (web link) to the website where you found the direct negative impact (1 pts)
-If you are unsure of direct, negative impacts, please review Module 1 for examples (e.g., blood feeding, annoyance, pathogen transmission).
Please note that a decline in agricultural crop production (e.g., plant health) affecting our food supply is NOT a direct effect on human health. That is an indirect effect.
If you are not finding direct, negative impacts of the insect or arachnid on humans or animals, then you may need to consult with the instructor. A different specimen may be required.

Below are some additional resources that you may find helpful for finding insects/arachnids or helping you identify them:

impact of translational research on healthcare outcomes, including examples).

This is a group essay and I was given the body part (Discussion: impact of translational research on healthcare outcomes, including examples). You should write about 800 to 1000 words discussing the impact of translational research and medicine on healthcare in a positive and beneficial way and you should include examples. You can start this by briefly defining the term (translational research) and then linking it with the patient’s outcome by giving examples of clinical trials of some translational medicine (examples: Covid 19 vaccine – translational research in treating a specific type of cancer). The references/citations should be in Vancouver style. Attached below is a screenshot of the entire group essay layout with my part highlighted for your reference.

Project Management Office

Assignment:
Identify the main purpose and mission of a PMO and explain the main challenges and obstacles in implementing a PMO. (“AtekPC Project Management Office,” Harvard Business Review)
(Please minimize using direct quote from references as professor does not like it)

My notes:
Main purpose & mission:
-standardize PM principles/tools, “consistent better practices for business/projects”
-performance improvements
-“centralized management is a period when company adopts the most PM tools” (Barbalho reference)
-Purpose is unique to each company due to its priorities/goals

Challenges/Obstacles:
– lack of basic project management principles in place (ATEK reference)
– no proper communication methods
– leadership buy-in (PMO authority?) (Singh reference)
– lack of resources and budget doesnt help implement PMO (ATEK)
– Lack of defining the purpose of the PMO (measurements in place to confirm its impact) (Singh reference)
– PMO might have to slowly introduce change to prepare staff, combat company culture and gain support as a result the time needed might impact the company’s need to quickly implement change based off industry changes/responses as well as customer demands
– “PMO tension are created as a result of stakeholder’s dissatisfaction” (Barbalho reference)
-assists in keeping sight of long-term strategic goals. For example, companies are experiencing growth and exceeding expectations, they forget business has ups and downs.
-“Gain improvements in the planning and performance of initiatives” (ATEK reference)

Company Hiring Survey

Instructions
Imagine you are in charge of hiring new employees for your organization, and are considering implementing personality testing as part of the hiring process. Before outsourcing this testing to a service provider which will be costly, you have decided to write your own personality questions to see if it something that applicants feel comfortable answering and thus a worthwhile investment.

Steps to Complete
Come up with 10 survey items like the ones found in Chapter 9 OB Assessments of your textbook to measure each of the Big 5 traits. You should create two items for each of the Big 5 traits. Be sure to create new items that are different than the ones found in Chapter 9, and try to make your items as valid as possible.

Each item should use a 1-5 rating scale (1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = neutral, 4 = agree, 5 = strongly agree).
Each item should be labeled with its Big Five trait and numbered (e.g., Conscientiousness Item 1, Conscientiousness Item 2).
In your opinion, should personality tests be used for hiring? Why is that?
Create a Word document and name it using the following convention: YourName-M4-assignment.
On the Word document, answer the prompts listed above in about 1-2 pages.

Write a concise, but complete report that answers the questions below. The report must open with a title page that clearly identifies who you are, what assignment this is, and the course for which it is assigned. Include the due date for the assignment as well.

For each question, include the exact command(s) that you ran, a sample of the output, and an interpretation of the results. Start each question on a new page.

1. Using ping:

a. Determine the average round-trip-time of packets between your computer and www.switch.ch using IPv4.
b. Determine the average round-trip time of packets between your computer and www.google.com using IPv4.
c. Can you make a determination, based on the outcomes of question 2a and 2b which site is physically closest to your location? Why?

2. Using traceroute:

a) Trace the route from your computer to IP address 130.130.215.2.

b) Based on these responses, what can you infer about the most likely physical location of the IP address?

c) Based on the packet round-trip times, which hop most likely spans the largest distance?

3. Using nslookup:

a) What is the hostname of IP address 130.130.215.2?

Writing assignments are meant to encourage you to reflect on the materials covered in the lessons. You will be asked to internalize the materials discussed in the course and apply them to case studies or independent research.

Written assignments are expected to contain factually correct information, are properly written in English, and must be visually attractive.
