Discussion Thread: RAM Troubleshooting

Discussion Post Topic – A user complains that her computer is responding very slowly. She also says that when booting the PC, it reports a lower value for memory than she assumed is available. You investigate and consider the idea that one of the RAM sticks in her PC may have become unseated. Detail the steps you would take to determine how to diagnose and reseat the RAM.

Article Analysis: Evolution of the Canada Lynx

Instructions for the paper are as follows:

*Note: the species, referred to as “your species” below, is the Canada Lynx (species/scientific name Lynx canadensis; from the Felidae family)

In this assignment, you’ll be researching the evolutionary history, or evolutionary concepts, about your species (or if not your exact species, then the evolution of that genus or family).
Search and read/skim several abstracts of article(s) that describe some aspect of the evolution, systematics, or phylogeny, of your specific species.
Then choose one (or two if you have the time/energy) article(s) of those that describe some aspect of the evolution, systematics, or phylogeny, of your specific species (If you can’t find an article specifically about your own chosen species, that’s fine, because even just finding an article which addresses concepts about the larger group/taxa your species belongs to will be appropriate.)

For example, let’s imagine your project is on vampire bats, which have the following classification (check Wikipedia)
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Chiroptera
Family: Phyllostomidae
Subfamily: Desmodontinae

*** Please note, this information on the classification is not needed in your paper. It’s just to get down as close as you can to your species level. I just wanted people to explore also, the way the species fits into the tree of life.
1) You could 1st search the subfamily “Desmodontinae evolution”, but if few articles or no articles are produced, then….
2) search the order Family “Phyllostomidae” (new world leaf-nosed bats) or even higher the order “Chiroptera” (all bats)
3) Sort by other factors, such as last ~5 years (2018-2023), then skim abstracts.

You should write a brief summary of the paper and upload both your summary, and the paper.
One major purpose of the this assignment is write and summarize what is known about the evolution of your species.

You could use other search engines like Google Scholar, or other sites–however, my main goal is to make sure students are reading the primary literature (the actual scientific studies by researchers, instead of the popular press reports written in secondary/popular/general public friendly articles. It’s important to read the source rather than what someone else takes from it, understands, or focuses on.)

Any relevant, scholarly article can be used for the assignment as long as it is about the Canada Lynx (Lynx canadensis) or the family in which they belong to (Felidae).

The following files have been attached which can be used to complete the assignment:
– Grading rubric which displays the criteria the assignment will be assessed on
– Several articles that can be used for the assignment. You can locate a different article if you wish although I believe these are some good options for this purpose.

There is no set required page length or required number of words. 2 pages minimum is standard for this class. A detailed summary/analysis is what is most important so if more than 2 pages are needed to sufficiently relay the details of the article, please reach out and I will adjust the order/price. There is no specific format that is required so you may use whichever you are most comfortable with. Please include a citiation of the article used, as well as in text citations.

Please reach out for further questions. Thank you in advance.

Summative Assessment: Business Valuation Presentation

Business managers are often responsible for the financial transactions and planning for a company. In Week 1, you selected a Fortune 500 company or another company you are familiar with. This company will be referred to as “your company” or “the large company you selected in Week 1.”

As the new business manager working for the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of your company, you want to review historical financial information to be fully informed of your company’s business valuation so you can provide guidance on near future financial decisions. You decide to put together a presentation on your company’s financial performance that assesses the cash flow, valuation, and KPIs for financial stability that you will present at the next management meeting. Your ultimate plan is to write a financial plan that will lead to future company growth.

Assessment Deliverable
Using your selected company and research from Week 1, create an 8- to 10-slide presentation to assess the company’s financial growth and sustainability.
Identify 2 key performance indicators.
Relate the stock price to price-to-earnings ratio.
Explain the market capitalization and what it means to the investor.
Identify trends in stock price, dividend payout, and total stockholders’ equity. Relate recent events or market conditions to the trends you identified.
Determine, based on your analysis, whether you think the organization is going to meet its financial goals, describe the outlook for growth and sustainability, and explain why you do or do not recommend this stock for purchase and how your recommendation compares to that of other analysts. For example, if your suggestion is buy, you need to explain why other analysts say sell.

Cite references to support your assessment according to APA guidelines.

Submit your assessment.

Identifying Financial Information for a Company

Throughout this course you will work towards creating a financial plan for a company as if you were its business manager. This week you will start your research that will be used in the Summative Assessments in Weeks 2, 4, and 6. You will not be able to change your company after this week.

Select a Fortune 500 company or another company you are familiar with. Consider pharmaceuticals, computer hardware, retail, or automotive industries for your selection. If you choose a company that is not in the Fortune 500, ensure that enough financial information and key performance indicator results are available to complete the assignment.

Research financial information and key performance indicators (KPIs) for the company. You may find this information on Yahoo! Finance®, in the University of Phoenix Library Finance Resources, or in other finance resources online. If you are unfamiliar with using Yahoo! Finance, the Yahoo! Finance Navigation Guide provides helpful information on finding some of the KPIs for your company.

Your financial plan will need to include KPIs for your company. Create a 1- to 2-page outline or chart identifying KPIs and including the following:
The company and its ticker symbol
Cash flow from operations
Price-to-earnings ratio
Stock dividends and the yield, if any
Earnings per share ratio
Revenue estimates for the next 12 months
Revenue from the previous 3 years
Statement of cash flows and identification of net cash from operating, investing, and financing activities over the past 3 years
Average trade volume.
Current stock price, 52-week high, and 1-year estimated stock price
Analysts’ recommendations for the stock (buy, sell, or hold)
Market cap for the company

You will use information from your research in your Week 2 Summative Assessment.

Submit your outline or chart.

Self Reflection Assignment (no citations needed)

Self-assessment #1: Discuss how you feel you performed – assess yourself in the course. Write about your ways of working and engaging with course work, and how you study. Reflect on areas where you could
improve. Discuss how you feel you performed – assess yourself in the
course. Write about your ways of working and engaging with course
work, and how you study. Reflect on areas where you could improve.

For this question, I want to say that I performed average for this
course, and I engaged mostly with the guest speakers as they gave
insight on the coursework, and helped me further understand what
issues are present in the healthcare industry. I also do not study but grasp concepts from lectures and the guest speakers and break it
down in a way that I understand and comprehend the content. I could improve on taking more away from the guest speakers and try to
make more connections in the real world with how Canada’s
healthcare system is. Use this as the backbone for what you write.

Reflexivity #2: Unpack how your identity (and the intersecting factors
of your identity) influence the way you conduct research.

Examine how your prior experiences, assumptions and beliefs influence the type of research you engage with, the type of research questions
you ask or seek to examine. Discuss how your identity, assumptions
and beliefs influence the type of sources you use to back up your
arguments. How can you as a habitant of our planet try to create a
more equitable world?

For this question, you can talk about what you want but follow what
the question is asking and relate it to Canada’s healthcare.
