By now, I hope you have a better understanding of what ergonomics is and why it is important.  If you have any questions on what you have learned over the last 4 weeks, please reach out to me. In Unit IV, we learned how to conduct a hazard assessment to identify potential ergonomic hazards in the workplace.  In this week’s lesson, we will be reading chapters 10 and 11 in your textbook.  We will explore how to mitigate common workplace stressors.  We will also touch on industrial workstations and vibration.   Assignment : Question 1 Describe hand-arm vibrations (HAVS); what are the long-term issues an employee might have if vibration sources are not corrected? Your response should be at least 75 words in length.     Question 2 Describe the ergonomic risk factors associated with a sharp edge on a work bench. Include supporting evidence as part of your discussion. Your response should be at least 75 words in length.     Question 3 Consider ergonomic hazards associated with the operation of pneumatic impact wrenches in a vehicle maintenance facility. What could you, as part of the ergonomics team, provide in the way of protection against the work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) that might be associated with the use of such a tool? Include supporting evidence as part of your discussion. Your response should be at least 200 words in length.     question 4 Describe one or more potential solutions for an employee who is experiencing the onset of back pain after working at his or her workstation that primarily requires the employee to work in a seated position. Include supporting evidence as part of your discussion. Your response should be at least 200 words in length.

I already put all materials including the guideline and sample in the attachment. Please read them carefully and strictly follow the guideline and sample to write this case study. Guideline Case study Assignment: The case is : Volkswagen’s Emissions Scandal How Could it Happen ( I already put this case in the attachment.) Length: 2,000 words +/- 10%; the word count excludes the List of References and any Appendices to support your paper. Requirements: You will write a ‘case study report’ that analyses the assigned case study using appropriate concepts and theories from the course –You must undertake additional research about the nature of the problem identified related to this course. The appropriate concepts and theories which I must use are about leadership and either deontology or teleology. There are relative PPTs we used in the course related in these concepts in the attachment. Your group must source and demonstrate the use of a minimum of three (3) additional academic articles in addition to the weekly extension readings and background conceptual readings for this assignment. Actually, there are 9 references which I should use. I call them 5 + 3 + 1 5: The required articles must be used. There are respectively: Why Firms Should Not Always Maximize Pro?ts; Organizational Ethical Culture: Real or Imagined?; Leaders, Values, and Organizational Climate: Examining Leadership Strategies for Establishing an Organizational Climate Regarding Ethics; Ethical leadership A review and future directions; Business Ethics Four Spheres of Executive Responsibility. ( The PDF files of these five articles are already put in the attachments) 3: The three additional academic articles must be sourced from the following list of journals: 1: The case: Volkswagen’s Emissions Scandal How Could it Happen The assignment should have the following sections: v Introduction (no in-text citations) v Case synopsis referencing the case v A discussion of issues – referencing the case and course concepts that lead into analysis v Analysis of the issues as related to our course – must use course concepts and theories v A solution (which may be multi faceted) or recommendations must use course concepts and theories show benefits and risks in approach ( this evaluates the solution) v How the evaluation will be conducted -A discussion of how you would know if it worked based on what you have been learning applied to this course v Conclusion (no in-text citations) v Reference list (not included in the word count) v Appendices (if any) In Details In this case study report, we must demonstrate understanding of the case (references the cases in precis); select issues to be analysed ( based upon frameworks and theories as well as referencing the case); analyse issues through the course frameworks and theories; considers actions and recommendations based upon analysis, links to learning (course frameworks and theories); evaluates why these actions are good, the risks in doing so based upon frameworks and theories; provides evaluation of the outcomes: how will the outcomes be measured as successful? Start by reading the case; write a short synopsis of the case 150~200 words referenced to the case; list out the issues- how did you determine those issues (which frameworks help you identify these) again preference frameworks, theories and the case -150~200 words There is a sample (Report Writing Case Study of Open Work System in Sun Microsystems Inc ) which I also put in the attachment. The structure and key elements of this case study assignment can completely follow and according to the sample I offer to you. However, the content must 100% original. This paper will submit in Turnitin, When I submit to my professor.

What you need is an analysis of each of the components in the green new deal. This will be difficult in 15 pages, so be direct. That is each of the energy sources has plus and minus components . Discuss the major ones and the Socio-Political likely effects on said attainment. do some research.

Assessment 2: Collection Policy Evaluation TASK   The focus of this assessment is collection policy evaluation. You have recently been appointed manager/director of the collection/s in ONE of the following information organisations. The Director of your organisation has given you the task of reviewing the collection policy against an appropriate set of guidelines and making recommendations for updating the policy based on your evaluation. §  Curtin University Library  §  Run Run Shaw Library, City University of Hong Kong §  Eastern Regional Libraries §  Heriot-Watt University Museum and Archive §  Griffith University Archive Drawing on the knowledge you have developed in this subject and a review of relevant scholarly and professional literature, write an evaluative report with recommendations for the policy. To successfully attempt this assessment you will need to:  1.     Locate the collection policy 2.     Contextualize the collection within the organisation and wider collections sector, and then  3.     Identify appropriate way/s to evaluate the policy – through a best practice example, industry guidelines or another option.  You have been asked to address the following areas in particular in your report:  §  The needs of collection stakeholders,  §  The selection and acquisition of information resources, and §  Preservation of the collection/s (including disaster preparedness). The report should be written for your Director, with a professional tone, using complete sentences and paragraphs, be well proofread, well organised, and with subheadings to guide the reader through your content. Scholarly and professional resources should be used to support your arguments and your arguments should lead to solid recommendations for improvement of the policy, as appropriate. An optional report template will be provided in class. References It is expected that you delve into formal professional and scholarly literature to discover new ideas in the profession and to and strengthen your arguments in your written work. Remember to cite the policy and guidelines you are using. All references should be cited using APA 6th or 7th format both in-text (parenthetical references) and in the final reference list at the end of your write-up.   Assessment study groups You may wish to work in small study groups as part of this assessment, and your subject coordinator will set up group work spaces in Interact as requested. Working as a group to solve a problem is often a useful strategy, and we encourage this for this assessment. Your report however must be completely your own work, and you will make a declaration of this when you submit your assessment through EASTS. RATIONALE   This assessment task will assess the following learning outcome/s: ·       be able to evaluate the needs of collection stakeholders in a professional context. ·       be able to apply relevant professional understanding to the selection and acquisition of information resources. ·       be able to exhibit ethical decision making and reasoning to identify creative solutions to issues such as access, censorship, budgeting, outsourcing and cooperative resource provision. ·       be able to demonstrate a professional understanding of complex issues associated with disaster management and preservation of collections.

Instructions: Follow the process outlined below to write 2-3 pages in response to the case study information and questions.  The first page will record your initial thoughts and answers to some directed questions on the first half of the case, and the final 1-2 pages allow you to reflect on the second part of the case and your own practice of understanding employee needs and motivations.  You may use an additional page at the end for a bibliography of sources cited. Introduction: The Marlow Construction case study is designed to provoke thinking around employee motivation and performance with an emphasis on understanding the roles that prior experience and differing perspectives play in individual interpretations of many work situations.  This is not your typical case where you are assigned several pages of text with some appendices containing data for analysis and questions to answer about how the business should have responded to a situation.  This case information is relatively short, consisting of two one-page summaries of the situation from the perspective of a construction company owner and one of his employees.  It is very important for this case that you follow the process here by reading only the first part of the case to start and summarizing your thoughts before moving on to the rest of the case.  This isn’t trying to trick you into any answers, but is designed to get you to survey the problem thoughtfully from one position first and then from the other position later– if you read both sections before starting, it will just be harder for you to coalesce your thoughts in response to the first set of questions and the assignment starts to lose its value for you.  Admittedly, the case feels somewhat manipulative in presenting one side before the other, and your first reaction to the second part of the case may be that the new information isn’t really fair to be withheld from you in the first half.  I agree that no one is probably as dense as Dan Marlow and most of your employees don’t face the same circumstances as Robby Gomez, but the ideas and themes overall should give you a good platform to evaluate your own approach to employee relations, incentives, and motivation.  Before you begin take a few moments to consider the following questions.  You may want to make notes for yourself, but nothing here is required to be submitted with the assignment. 1. What kinds of incentives motivate you? 2. Do you believe that people are inherently motivated, or do they need to be coaxed into working hard? 3. What kinds of jobs do you find engaging? 4. What gets in the way of you being engaged at work? First read:  Marlow Construction (A): Dan Marlow, Founder and President  (Links to an external site.) Next write the first page of your case study report, discussing your thoughts at this point.  Consider and answer what you feel are the most important questions from this list or other thoughts you might have to understand or help solve Dan Marlow’s problem. What kind of leadership problem do we have here? What types of operational issues are likely being caused at Marlow Construction because of employee turnover and lack of engagement? Is this type of employee problem typical within construction and is it inevitable for the industry?  Why would you guess Marlow has these problems and what initial recommendations would you have to improve things for Marlow Construction? When you have one page of answers written to the above questions, next read: https://harvardmagazine.com/2015/05/the-science-of-scarcity  (Links to an external site.) and then, Marlow Construction (B): Robby Gomez  (Links to an external site.) Now finish the final 1-2 pages of your report giving further insight into the situation and proposing solutions now that you’ve seen the story from a different perspective. What is the situation and what are the problems from Gomez’s point of view? Why would Marlow’s earlier attempts at motivation fall short and what types of incentives would you recommend he consider offering in the future? Are there systematic problems with an employer being ‘too understanding’ of employee problems, and what considerations should be made to ensure organizational performance while also meeting employee needs? Do these considerations change with the economy and unemployment rate?  If it is easy to replace employees, is it OK for Marlow to simply cycle through a lot of turnover, or will other organizational issues arise that should be considered? Are there implications from the Science of Scarcity article that shed light on the various perspectives presented in the case? Are you familiar with other concepts or theories, such as Kahneman’s Thinking Fast and Slow, that might aid understanding in this type of situation? In your own leadership, how might you use these insights to design effective systems and motivate employees?  Even if you don’t have employees like Robby Gomez, are there implications here that suggest changes in your role as a leader, or are there systems you already practice that help to understated your employees and their motivations?   Submission Instructions: Complete and upload the assignment as a Word document with Calibri 11pt font, 1.15 line spacing, and 1” margins, by 23:59 MST Sunday. Proper citations should follow APA format and a source bibliography should be added as an additional separate page at the end.

Presidential Agendas. Regardless of the political affiliation,every  citizen has a stake in the healthcare policy decisions. Hence,it is little wonder why healthcare items become such high-profile components of presidential agends.It is also little wonder why they become such hotly debated agenda items.  To prepare 1)Review the Resources and reflect on the importance of agenda setting. 2)Consider how federal agendas  promote healthcare issues and how these healthcare issues become agenda priorities.

The purpose of the case study paper is to demonstrate your understanding of the readings and your ability to apply course content to social work challenges faced by individuals, couples, families, and groups. Using the case study provided on Blackboard and guided by course readings, you are required to complete the Person In the Environment (PIE) assessment. The following questions should be answered in the assessment: Social Role: What was the client’s social role? Environment: How was the client’s environment? How did the environment affect the client? Provide examples. Mental Health Disorders: Did they client have any mental health disorders? If so, what were they? Physical Disorders: Did they client have any physical health disorders? If so, what were they? Red Flags: Are there any red flags that a social worker should address with the client or in the client system? Evidence of Racism or Oppression: Did the client experience or was their evidence of racism or other forms of oppression?  Use your textbook (Human Behavior in the Social Environment) and other supportive resources to strengthen your viewpoint. The paper should be 3-4 pages long (excluding the cover page and references) and should be written in APA format (7th edition).
