Are Uber drivers employees or independent contractors? Do a memo (maximum of 300 words) on this topic, as described below.

This timely issue is being or has been litigated in courts and before state and federal agencies at this time. All I want you to put into this memo is a very brief listing of the factual issues being looked at to resolve this matter. I do not want a list of topics from the “tests” in the text material. Rather I want examples of what various jurisdictions are looking at. For example: “What were drivers told they are? All jurisdictions.” Another example might be: “Who decides how many hours drivers work? Utah: drivers decide; South Dakota: Uber decides.” You do not need to cover all possibilities, just enough to illustrate you are familiar with what the main issues are.

Outline format is preferable for this assignment. You can search the topic “are Uber drivers employees” and turn up far more material than you really need. The difficulty will be in condensing the material to fit the allowable word limit here, which is 300 words. DO NOT EXCEED THE 300 WORD LIMIT!

At the end of your report list your sources. (E.g. NYT article of 8/1/2016) Sources do NOT count in the word limit

Assignment:

Quantitative Research

Write a fully developed and detailed APA essay addressing each of the following points/questions. There is no required word count; be sure to completely answer all the questions for each question in detail. Separate each section in your paper with a clear heading that allows your professor to know which bullet you are addressing in that section of your paper. Support your ideas with at least one (1) source using citations in your essay. Make sure to cite using the APA writing style for the essay. The cover page and the reference page are required. Review the rubric criteria for this assignment.

Conduct a literature search to select a quantitative research study related to the problem identified in Module 1 and conduct an initial critical appraisal. Respond to the overview questions for the critical appraisal of quantitative studies, including:

• Is this quantitative research report a case study, case-control study, cohort study, randomized control trial, or systematic review?
• Where does the study fall in the hierarchy of evidence in terms of reliability and risk of bias?
• Why was the study done? (Define the problem and purpose.)
• Were the steps of the study clearly identified?
• What was the sample size?
• Are the measurements of major variables reliable and valid? Explain.
• How were the data analyzed?
• Were there any untoward events during the conduct of the study?
• How do the results fit with previous research in the area? (This may be reflected in the literature review.)
• What does this research mean to clinical practice?

Additionally, be sure to include the rapid appraisal questions for the specific research design of the quantitative study that you have chosen. These can be found in Chapter 5 of the textbook (Melnyk and Fineout-Overholt, 2015).

This critical appraisal should be written in complete sentences (not just a numbered list) using APA format.

Provide a reference for the article according to APA format and a copy of the article.

Assignment Expectations:

Length: Clearly and fully answer all questions; attach a copy of the article
Structure: Include a title page and reference page in APA format. Your essay must include an introduction and a conclusion.
References: Use appropriate APA style in-text citations and references for all resources utilized to answer the questions. A minimum of one (1) scholarly source for the article is required for this assignment.
Rubric: This assignment uses a rubric for scoring. Please review it as part of your assignment preparation and again before submission to ensure you have addressed its criteria at the highest level.

2-3 paragraphs would be good. Clearly answer the advanced Finance
questions below. The book is Intermediate Finaincial management

The success of capitalism and our economic system is based on risk.
Every business decision involves an element of risk. Consider that risk
is essential to profit, growth, and economic development.

A student’s decision to pursue his or her MBA involves risk. Calculated
risk-taking is germane to living, relationships, and all aspects of
decision-making. The failure to undertake risk is often the decision to
fail.

Please reflect on the notion and concept of risk? How would you
self-describe your personal risk profile? How would you comment on your
risk-taking propensity? Share ideas, opinions, and perspectives.

1.For this assignment, you are to compare two works of art from the famed “Mexican masters,” Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiros. The first work of art has already been selected for you, Diego Rivera’s Detroit Industry murals, which he painted in the Motor City during 1932-33. We already viewed the mural during the first week of the semester, and I also provided you with a video commentary on it. The second mural is one of your choice from either Rivera, Orozco or Siqueiros.

2.In terms of the content of this report, I am looking for two main points of discussion. First, you should devote the first half of the report to a discussion about the symbolism of the Rivera Detroit murals, as well as present your views on the murals. To help you to address this issue, consider some of these questions: What are the main themes presented in the murals? How do the murals reflect the indigenismo policy promoted in Mexico after its Revolution? What do the murals say about US-Mexico relations, as well as labor-management relations? Describe some of the personalities presented in the murals, as well as the colors and painting styles used by Rivera. And finally, conclude your discussion by presenting your own views about the mural series. Feel free to draw upon your own political beliefs to shape your perspective. If you’ve actually seen the murals at the Detroit Institute of Arts, please mention your first-hand experience at viewing them.

3. And for the second point of discussion, please compare the Rivera Detroit murals with another mural from a Mexican master. You may select another one by Rivera, or one by his colleagues Jose Clemente Orozco or David Alfaro Siqueiros. In this part of the review, consider these questions: What mural did you select? What year was it painted? Where is the mural located? How does this mural reflect the indigenismo policy? What political themes, if any, can you detect? (i.e. Communism, anti-Imperialism, etc.) How is this mural different than Rivera’s Detroit murals, in terms of colors, flow of movement, shadow, perspective, etc.? Which historical figures are presented in this mural? And finally, don’t forget to present your own opinion about this mural. How did you like it? Of the two murals for this assignment, which one was your favorite?

1. What are some of the important similarities in the rise of country and western and rhythm and blues, especially during the 1945-55 period? What are some of the significant differences?
2. What was the relationship between mainstream pop, country and western, and rhythm and blues in the 1940’s and ’50’s? How did the music business separate out these styles? Why?
3. Radio plays a central role in the discussions of this unit. How does it affect each of the three styles under consideration? What role does television play?
4. What’s the difference between focusing on the sale of songs and focusing on the sale of records? How does this relate to the three styles under consideration?
5. If many Americans had prejudices against country and western and rhythm and blues music, was this because of their perceptions of the intended audiences for each style? Did country and western and rhythm and blues have features that may be seen to reinforce negative stereotypes?
