Week 1: Understanding Behavior Theoretical Foundations

According to Charles Kindleberger, an economic historian, asset price bubbles have occurred across a wide variety of countries and time periods. The bubbles of the last 100 years have predominantly been focused on real estate, stocks, and foreign investment. Find out more about the asset bubble “1970s: The surge in loans to Mexico and other developing economies”. (There will be plagiarism check so use your own words, and then: 1. Tell the story of this bubble using the models in section 7.1.6 from the attached file. 2. Explain the relevance to your story, if any, of the arguments in the ‘Do bubbles exist?’ fragment from the attached file about the existence of bubbles.

Revision according to the instruction: – Please choose another book for the third one. File attached. This essay’s prompt is lovers – wives from ILIAD, SAPPHO, ODYSSEY, GENESIS, JOB, SONG OF SOLOMON, HISTORIES, ORESTEIA, ANTIGONE, FATHER COMES HOME FROM THE WARS, SYMPOSIUM, AENEID, METAMORPHOSES. Please choose THREE books to write compare and contrast, how are they different and similar across the texts? and the significance of it. your essay should have an intro with a thesis and a conclusion. It may be a compare and contrast essay, but really the structure and style is up to you. The ideas must be clearly expressed. For the purpose of this essay, the Oresteia will count as one text. Provide a clear thesis, organize your essay carefully, and give particular examples to support your argument. Please do not use any outside source, everything should be based in the books

Please answer each question keeping them labeled so I know which is which. Thank you! Please use sources for each set of questions. 1. “Interviewing and Interrogating” Please respond to the following: • Determine the fundamental difference between interrogating and interviewing under the circumstance of criminal investigation. Provide one (1) example of a situation or scenario when each of these would be used. • Support or critique the argument that a police officer should use an Electronic Countermeasures (ECM) and / or taser before the utilization of deadly force when making arrests. Provide a rationale to support your response. 2. “Suicide and Elder Abuse” Please respond to the following: The Center for Disease Control (CDC) identified suicide as a common death investigation within the United States. In some instances, family members attempt to hide the fact that the person took their own life. Analyze the main reasons why persons would attempt to conceal such an event which could possibly lead them into receiving criminal charges themselves. Recommend at least one (1) action that the law enforcement could take in order to investigate such a suicide crime. The National Center on Elder Abuse indicates that seniors are the fastest-growing population in the United States. It is apparent that as this populace becomes more physically frail, they are seemingly a greater target for the unscrupulous to take advantage. Discuss the main reasons why abuse of seniors is recognized yet usually goes unreported. Next, suggest one (1) action that citizens or family members could take to reduce elder abuse. Provide a rationale to support your response. 3. “Sexual Assault Evidence and Forms of Abuse among Children” Please respond to the following: It is common knowledge that rape and sexual assault investigations provide evidence such as stained or torn clothing, scratches, bruises and cuts used to solve the crime. Determine at least three (3) other forms of evidence associated with a rape or sexual assault. Next, recommend at least one (1) action that the law enforcement could take in order to investigate such a crime. The textbook cites that the four (4) most common types of abuse among children are neglect, physical abuse, emotional abuse, and sexual abuse. Select one (1) out of the four (4) types of abuse among children. Next, determine the key challenges that the investigator may confront while investigating the abuse you selected. Suggest one (1) strategy geared toward mitigating the challenges you determined. Provide a rationale to support your response.

We discussed digital media infrastructures and the way that social stratifications and power hierarchies can result in inequalities of access. For this journal, start by providing a critical synthesis of the readings for the week, including how you feel they relate to each other and what you feel the strengths and weaknesses are. Secondly, consider the following prompt: what do you think is one of the biggest ethical, political, or cultural challenges that we face in our digital media landscapes in the present? Why? only site the provided texts. online article: Andrew Marantz. (2019) “The Dark Side of Techno-Utopianism; Matsakis – What Does a Fair Algorithm Actually Look Like?”

The next step in the process of acquiring information is to move past what we can think of onto what we can see. That is, we have the way things are done and how to do them but we have not yet touched the work. In this case, we begin by reviewing some information regarding a trend towards bipedalism based on an arbitrary scale. That is, we use diagnostic features we can see and judge for ourselves. Although some may believe arbitrary assessments to be vague or assumptive, this step is sometimes used by those who know about the subject. That is we have spent many weeks getting to the point where you are trained observers. That is what you see matters and you will now “show what you can do with what you know.” This quick step is used to give immediate feedback to guide the path of inquiry. For example, an arbitrary scale can give values which can be interpreted as useful or not. The values can also be added to a graph which may show connections, divergence, and trends. Although the arbitrary assessments may be cursory they can be used to help make predictions. The predictions can aid in a direction of inquiry such as future experimental design to pursue a lead or quickly and simply rule out an assumption. An assumption in science can be either a premise for an idea based on experience, or a prediction based on prior data. That is, the premise from an informed previous statement can lead to inquiry. Informed statements come from experience or existing data. Therefore, an assumption in science is very different from how assumptions are used in daily activities by many non-scientists. Here we may assume that the diagnostics features listed in the drawing plantigrade, digitigrade, unguligrade highlight things of interest in relation to patterns of locomotion, in this case distinctions of speed and power compared to bipedalism. Grade scale x/30 x 20 = score 12.1. Bipedalis.Start with an ABC about each foot grade. Now that we have gone past the basics and the surprise that other animals have very similar skeletal structures it is time to review the basics of locomotion. Later, other forms of locomotion will be investigated in depth, but, for now it is wise to stay with what is familiar and the basic three. On the drawing for anthbiolab.mckendricksj.footgrades.plantigrade.digitigrade.unguligrade above, observe the normal standing postures and note the following for each species A, B,and C: (3 points) On the drawing above note the angle of the hip to the femur by the scribed line(s) down to the caudal line (a line towards the tail) of the hip in connection to the femoral line (of the femur). Estimate the angles of hip to femur by selecting the answer(s) which fits (delete the wrong answers) for each species: Species A what is angle 1 = Near to 180 deg Near to 115 deg. Near to 95 deg. Species B what is angle 1 = Near to 180 deg Near to 115 deg. Near to 95 deg. Species C what is angle 1 = Near to 180 deg Near to 115 deg. Near to 95 deg. (1 point) Note the location of the calcaneus relative to the point of contact at ground level and length relative to the tibia by selecting the answer(s) which fits (delete the wrong answers) for each species: Species A the location of item 2, the calcaneus to the ground is- On the ground and shortest compared to tibia Off the ground and longer compared to tibia Very high off the ground and longest compared to tibia Species B the location of item 2, the calcaneus to the ground is- On the ground and shortest compared to tibia Off the ground and longer compared to tibia Very high off the ground and longest compared to tibia Species C the location of item 2, the calcaneus to the ground is- On the ground and shortest compared to tibia Off the ground and longer compared to tibia Very high off the ground and longest compared to tibia (1 point) Note the relative length of the metatarsals compared to the other species by selecting the answer(s) which fits (delete the wrong answers) for each species; Species A Short Short to medium Very long Species B Short Short to medium Very long Species C Short Short to medium Very long (1 point) Note the position of the pedal phalanges in relation to the metatarsals especially note hooves as on the ground but not the pahalages by selecting the one answer which fits (delete the wrong answers) for each species: Species A On-ground- inline On-ground-not-inline Off-ground-not- inline Species B On-ground- inline On-ground-not-inline Off-ground-not- inline Species C On-ground- inline On-ground-not-inline Off-ground-not- inline (1 point) Note the pedal phalanges in relation to the tiba phalanges by selecting the answer(s) which fits (delete the wrong answers) for each species: Species A On-ground- and 90 deg. On-ground- and greater than 90 deg. Off-ground- and greater than 90 deg. Species B On-ground- and 90 deg. On-ground- and greater than 90 deg. Off-ground- and greater than 90 deg. Species C On-ground- and 90 deg. On-ground- and greater than 90 deg. Off-ground- and greater than 90 deg. (1 point) If a species has an angle of femur to hip bone is closer to 90 deg., then they are better at jumping without a run. Select the species one or more which has that by selecting the answer(s) which fits (delete the wrong answers) best for power related to speed and jumping: A: human B: Dog C: Deer (1 point) If a species has a calcaneus not in contact with the ground and has a longer length relative to the tibia, then they are able to have a burst of speed and jump easily exceeding what humans can do. Select the species, one or more, which has that characteristic by selecting the answer(s) which fits (delete the wrong answers) best for power related to speed and jumping: A: human B: Dog C: Deer (1 point) If a species has a relatively longer calcaneus length when compared to the other species then they are better at jumping without a run. Select the species one or more which has that by selecting the answer(s) which fits (delete the wrong answers) best for power related to speed and jumping: A: human B: Dog C: Deer (1 point) If a species has pedal phalanges in relation to the metatarsals which are not in line and have less contact overlength to the ground then they are able to have a burst of speed and jump easily exceeding what humans can do. Select the species, one or more ,which has that characteristic by selecting the one answer which fits (delete the wrong answers) best for power related to speed and jumping: A: human B: Dog C: Deer 10. (1 point) If a species has the tibia in relation to the pedal phalanges which are in excess of 90 degrees then they are able to have a burst of speed and jump easily exceeding what humans can do. Select the species one or more which have that by selecting the one answer which fits (delete the wrong answers) best for power related to speed and jumping: A: human B: Dog C: Deer 11. (10 points) From questions 1 thru 5 fill in the table to evaluate which species ranks the lowest for power for speed and jumping. Total each time A species scored a 1. 12. (2 points) Questions 1 thru 5 and 11 indicate that Species A is unique. What are they limited by, what can’t they do? 13. (2 points) Questions 6 thru 10 indicate that species B and C have less limitation and can do what? 14. (6 points) Why is this interesting to learn that humans even when compared to dogs and deer, to say nothing about them to top predators, have far less abilities in relation to their bipedalism?

Write a 500 to 700-word paper including the following calculations and using the information to determine whether the new billing system has reduced the mean bill payment time: Assuming the standard deviation of the payment times for all payments is 4.2 days, construct a 95% confidence interval estimate to determine whether the new billing system was effective. State the interpretation of 95% confidence interval and state whether or not the billing system was effective. Using the 95% confidence interval, can we be 95% confident that µ ≤ 19.5 days? Using the 99% confidence interval, can we be 99% confident that µ ≤ 19.5 days? If the population mean payment time is 19.5 days, what is the probability of observing a sample mean payment time of 65 invoices less than or equal to 18.1077 days?

The criminal trial process has many components. In this assignment, you explore real-life examples of the criminal trial process in two different types of trials. Search the Internet for trials using parameters such as but not limited to “watch criminal trials online,” or visit the Wild About Trial website. https://wildabouttrial(dot)com/ Compare TWO (2) trials. If possible, compare a murder trial with one involving another major felony. Include the parties represented in each trial (i.e., plaintiff and defendant). Write 350- to 700-word comparison in which you: Summarize what each trial was about. Identify the type of court the trials were held in (refer to Ch. 1 for types of courts in the United States). Describe as many of the steps of each trial as you can (refer to Ch. 13 for the steps/process). Explain the similarities and differences between the two trials you selected. Identify as many of the actors of each trial as you can who played a role in the steps of the trial process. What were their roles? Cite a minimum of 2 sources (one source for each trial). Format your paper according to APA guidelines.
