Instructions- Discussion post is must be 250 words long and please list all references. There are 3 discussion post below please keep them separate.

1st discussion post

Part I: Autism Spectrum Disorder and Williams Syndrome are similar, but they are also opposites in several ways. Thus, the study of their neural mechanisms can be complimentary. Discuss and use an example from your life to illustrate your writing. As part of your writing, be sure to describe your understanding of neurotransmission (how do nerve cells transmit signals?)

Part II: Total dementia often creates less suffering than partial dementia (for the individual with the dementia). Why do you think that this is the case? As part of your response, describe the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and evaluate the amyloid hypothesis. Use research evidence and a personal example as appropriate to support your conclusions.

2nd discussion post

People who are overweight or obese are at a disadvantage in several respects. For example, they have an increased risk of a variety of chronic illnesses, such as heart disease and diabetes. But there is also a fair amount of prejudice against those who are overweight or obese. This psychological bias may contribute to negative evaluations by others and low self-esteem on the part of the person who is overweight. The negative attitudes may exist because the culture seems to place a great deal of responsibility on the individual for his or her weight.

Just how much control do you have over your own weight? For Part I of this discussion, you’ll describe the various factors that influence how much we eat, focusing on the set-point theory.

Part I: Briefly summarize the evidence for and against the set-point theory of hunger and eating. In your summary, explain why you think set-point theories of hunger and eating are so popular and give an example from your own life.

Part II: Given all problems associated with the long-term use of benzodiazepines, why do you think they are so commonly prescribed for the treatment of insomnia? For maximum points, you must identify at least one ethical problem with prescribing this drug for treating insomnia and propose at least one reasonable solution. In your explanation, describe the different classes of hypnotic drugs and compare/contrast their efficacy and side effects.

3rd discussion post

Part I: Given what you have learned about hormones, how would you respond if someone told you the following: “Ray gets angry easily because he has high testosterone levels”? In your response, describe the different types of signals that regulate hormone release and how they are released over time (what effect does this have on levels of circulating hormones?).

Part II: Do you or somebody you love use a drug like alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, heroin, or cocaine? Write a letter to your loved one (or yourself). In your letter, persuade the individual to stop using substances by clearly summarizing relevant research data. Describe and compare the direct health hazards associated with the use of alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, heroin, and cocaine. Use examples from your life and scientific evidence (properly cited and referenced) to support your writing.

  2. Elaborate on these areas, addressing specifically the following questions:
    • ï‚· If the operating budgets in these areas are reduced, what are the implications for the university staff?
    • ï‚· What are the implications for the student population?

advisory memo employment issues 1

As a first-year Human Resource Specialist at “State of Estates” estate planning firm, your boss (Will N. Trusts) presents you with the following two scenarios:

Scenario 1

Gary, an estate planner, works on a contract basis for our clients at “State of Estates”. On occasion, we contract Gary to handle a specific client for a specific estate planning job. Per our contract with Gary for these specific clients, he is paid commission on a weekly basis based on the overall fee received by the firm. When working for these specific clients, Gary is able to use our office space, equipment, and any supplies necessary to complete the job. To ensure consistent work product and regulatory compliance, Gary submits his work to a supervisor, who approves it and send it to the client on behalf of our firm. Recently, we had to lay Gary off in the middle of a job and he filed for unemployment compensation.

  • What legal tests could be employed to determine whether Gary is an independent contractor or employee?
  • Based on these tests, what is your conclusion as to Gary’s status: independent contractor or employee?
Scenario 2

Susan, a financial products representative in our Nebraska office, landed a major Mutual Fund client just six weeks before planning to retire. In the interim, and before her commission was paid, she was let go by our firm. We did not have a contract for employment with Susan. She is now suing us for wrongful termination.

  • Would any exceptions to Susan’s at-will employment apply under these circumstances?
  • Does it make a difference if Susan was employed in our Florida office?

Apply the concept of employment at-will and its various exceptions, including differences in approach to at-will among the states.

Write two -175 word memorandums based on the scenarios in one document. The memos should be written in third-person voice, and include citation of references (both in-text and at the end of the memo) in APA format. U.S. references only,
