why? 5) how might you suggest improvement of the sox legislation? brief historical summary on sox enactment in 2002, congress enacted the sarbanesoxley act otherwise known as sox was enacted. the purpose of this was to make an attempt at restoring the public’s trust by implementing code, improving organizational ethics, and audit procedures and whistleblower protection. orin (2008) discusses that the reason sox was enacted was to help people have faith in the corporate system again after the enron, worldcom, adelphia, and tyco scandals. simply put, sox is another layer of bureaucratic red tape put in place to ensure that publically traded companies and their managers do the right thing. by placing an additional layer of protection, aka paperwork, in place, the public should be able to have a higher degree of trust for the companies they are instructing with their investments. according to kessel (2011) the increased regulations are placed on companies to make an attempt at ensuring ethical compliance included costs that are far too extensive. as a business \n 2 owner, it becomes more logical to sell the company to larger organization. they would do this because is it easier and more profitable to sell it to a company willing to take on such regulations rather than keep it and got through the process. in the end, the cost may be more to the consumer due to the lack of competition at that level. the key ethical components of the sox the sox act created a number of ethical components. it’s first step, according to franzel (2014) was to create a public company accounting oversight board (pcaob). king and case (2014) mention that the mission of the pcaob was to provide oversight of the audits that public companies conduct. essentially it’s mission is to audit the auditor which the government believes is the public’s best interest. franzel (2014) also suggests that the board had four main responsibilities that include the following: 1) establish audit and professional standards 2) register firms that audit public companies, brokers, or dealers, 3) conduct and report on regular inspections on those audit firms, and 4) conduct investigations and disciplinary hearings on those in violation. social responsibility implications regarding mandatory publication of corporate ethics mellon and marley (2013) discuss the impacts of publishing corporate ethic standards within their article. one of the points they discuss is the grey line that exists between publicizing certain information and confidentiality. is there are a need for certain pieces of information to be placed in the eye of the public when it may dishonor certain confidentiality agreements? while one may jump to the conclusion of yes, of course, the question then becomes, why does our very own government not comply with the same standard. there are programs that are completed and conducted in the “black world” that are funded the same all of the other programs are funded , but are not reported in the same manner. the items purchased, the missions accomplished, etc. are not known to the public and until the top secret coding on the program is lifted, this \n 2 information is not and may never be seen. while, the government places law upon law to govern corporations, they sure do make it hard to see that they have the same social responsibility as a corporate entity. government is a big business. if one does not believe that this is truth, one can look at the $13.2 trillion dollars in debt that the us holds today (congressional budget office, 2015). so, to look at the social responsibility that a corporation holds to the public, one must acknowledge that this law needs to be extended to the largest corporation out there to be truly effective. one of the main criticisms of sox is that its implementation presents an unfair burden on smaller organizations. do you agree or disagree with this statement? why? i believe that this is one of the truest statements out there. by placing layer upon layer of reporting, paperwork, and audits on a small company, it may mean the difference between a company succeeding or bankrupting. a smaller business may have a very small profit margin, and with the additional regulation and expense they may never be able to transition into a profitable state. orin (2011) believes that industry is pushing to have so much regulation removed and is a firm believer that the government holds to their policies. while orin’s opinion may be that this type of policing is necessary for companies to remain ethical, i seriously doubt his level of involvement with smaller businesses looking to form an ipo. by understanding the unnecessary burden this regulation places on small business, large corporations will be able to continue to push them out of the market. bova, minuttimeza, richardson, and vyas (2014) bring up an excellent point in regards to sox and the mindset of a smaller company. when looking at the possibility of developing a sox type of infrastructure to comply with the regulations, companies may choose an exit strategy rather than dealing with the compliance issues. when looking at this concept from a \n 2 broader perspective, this is actually quite infuriating for a smaller business owner. if they were to try to make a profit by choosing to go public, they would have to attempt to find other ways to supplement their income or choose to sell the business. if the level of competition from a large business is already high, the chances that the next up and coming small business to become true competition would be significantly lower. if a consumer has to look at the large business in the us and also has an option to seek out companies outside the us to outsource the item or service, why would they not? this may be one additional reason a smaller company can’t get past a certain threshold. consumers that don’t mind paying a higher price and want an american made product are certainly paying the surcharge due to additional regulations. while they may not mind paying a higher price if the competition is between the larger corporation and a foreign entity, a newly formed ipo may never even have a chance. while sox and the additional regulation stemmed from a few companies that had poor management and decision making skills, it seems to defeat the purpose of capitalism. there are better ways to ensure companies comply than by adding an additional layer of control in the mix. how might you suggest improvement of the sox legislation? improvement of sox legislation can start by removing and decommissioning sox legislation and giving companies back the power they need to function as a business. the improvement then exists on the backend of the business with stricter laws. if the individuals are found doing the things that management in tyco and enron ended up doing, a simple bit of ethical compliance and additional red tape is not going to stop them. what may stop them is what happens as an end result. by allowing the management staff involved to go free after only a few years of incarceration due to their toprated lawyers, is a huge part of the problem. let’s take for example the article written by hays and ariail (2013). hays served 30 years in the \n 2 financial industry not only as a cpa with 6 years of audit experience, but within the cia as well as was the vp of a multibilliondollar division of a major oil company. he and his four partners signed a development agreement with enron and during this time he did an extensive review of enron’s financials. during his involvement with enron, he was essentially clueless of the wrongdoings that were taking place right in front of him. the company’s management and accountants did a thorough job of moving funds around on the balance sheet to fool investors as well as members of their own organization. the concept of fraud within an organization is not a new concept and i believe only true way to lessen the existence of fraud in this way it to simplify tax laws. tax laws are extensive and filled with so much confusing language that it creates an indefinite number of ways to work around the law or even within it. the way our tax law is written is overbearing and ridiculous. it begs people to take advantage of the system because there are only a certain few that understand it. if tax law were rewritten and brought down to a onepage sheet that consisted of; if you earn this much this is what you pay, the loop holes and confusion would cease to exist. it is those that have the resources and that have an understanding of the law that have a greater ability to hide, fool, and break the law with halliburton and exvp dick cheney at the tip of the spear. we as a society have certainly gone so far outside the limits of making logical sense that there is very little room for common sense. as long as the laws are so complex and complicated, there will always be fraud. to add in another level of red tape, sox, only diminishes smaller companies’ abilities to potentially compete with larger companies. i truly believe that our government is too busy putting bandaides on the problem rather than fixing the true problem at heart. article for review now, after reviewing sox, what it is and it’s implications we are to review an article and how its design and study results relate to the above discussion. in week three, we reviewed an \n 2 article by stephens, vance, pettegrew (2012). this article discussed ethics in teenagers and how teenage ethical decisions relate to the decisions made as adults. the design of the study took into account 30,000 us high school students and how they viewed their own ethics and morality. the study discussed how they not only viewed their own personal morality but also analyzed the rate at which they admitted to cheating on a test or homework. the study showed that while a high percentage of students cheated on either homework or a test throughout the year, that they valued their ethics and morality at a high level. the design and the study results were very logical. it all comes down to human nature. the human population can find ways to justify all sorts of ethical and moral dilemmas. this concept is apparent at an early age and it certainly continues on through adulthood. will a five yearold lie just to get attention or to get their way? the answer is a resounding yes. overall the concept of placing controls on humanity is a possibility, the problem will always remain that there will be loopholes and ways around the rules. to take this concept a step further and apply it to the study, we realize that while those loopholes exist, sox is trying to place controls on audits and auditors. i am confused as to why would they believe they can control humanity any further than high schools can control their students or a parent could keep 5 year old from telling a lie. even with regulation in place, the only way to ensure compliance is met is to allow for transparency and a clear understanding of the expectation. as the governing entities continue to complicate the issue, there will always be wiggle room that people utilize to circumvent the rules they put in place. conclusion overall, the purpose of this week’s paper is review a previously read article and evaluate it for design and whether or not the results of the study were logical. to do this, an analysis of \n 2 the sarbanesoxley act (sox) of 2002 is first defined and subsequently analyzed for it’s effectiveness of restoring the public’s trust. in this study the following will be discussed: 1) brief historical summary on sox enactment 2) the key ethical components of the sox 3) social responsibility implications regarding mandatory publication of corporate ethics, 4) one of the main criticisms of sox is that its implementation presents an unfair burden on smaller organizations. do you agree or disagree with this statement?

socialization ● the agents of socialization are groups or social contexts that have socialization occur. ● primary socializationnfancy and childhood where language and basic behavior is learned from the family to the child. ● secondary socialization hildhood and maturity, when schools and other outside work groups begin to influence behavior. helps learn norms and values and beliefs of the whole culture. the family . the range of family contacts is not standard across cultures (family systems vary too much) . modern society: smallscale family context. american society is usually mom/dad/siblings. other cultures incorporate more of the whole family. ● premodern societies had the family birth determine your future. that is, depending on what family you were born into would determine the individuals lifelong social position. however, in modern societies, region and social class impend on situation. the school formal process accept, react, be quiet, it’s socially accepted to accept the teacher’s authority automatically. peer groups form at schools and agebased classes reinforces influence. peer relationships ● peer group: age influenced, all similar in age and social status. ● agegrades: small traditional societies peer groups (usually male) with ceremonies of one grade to another. less apparent in western societies about how significant peers are. barrie thorne children create their own gender through interaction. peer groups influence gender socialization when children talk about their changing bodies. popular girls were changing, so others wanted to change too. children values/activities are still influenced by media. \n mass media ● mass media is a form of communication designed to reach mass audiences. the most popular study is the influence of violence in tv on children. ● george gerbner tv analysis of physical death or hram to others. cartoons showed more than ever. ● hodge and tripp: research has not incorporated children’s mental process. they interpret what they see rather than just see it. it is not violence that affects behavior, but the framework of attitudes within which is presented and read. ● eugene provenzo: nintendo effects. parents believed video games brought family together. however tv absorbtion made them want to play rather than go to school. ● marsha kinder: social effect from video games. gaming to cartoonist. ● patricia greenfield: mass scale electronic influence of video games on our social lives. work + only in large industrial societies do people go to places to work seperately from home. industrial societies call for a lot of adjustments on people’s behavior and outlook. social roles ● social roles: socially defined expectations for a person in a given situation or social position. functionalists regard these are unchanging parts of culture they are social facts. social roles don’t involve negotiation or creativity, they just direct an individuals behavior. they internalize the role. this is mistaken! humans exercise agency, they assume social roles through interaction, it’s not robotically instructed into them. identity ● the concept of identity in sociology is multifaceted. ● identity: who you are and what is meaningful to you. gender sexulity nationality ethnicity social class ● social identity: other people attribute characteristics to others. this also places them in relationship to those who share those characteristics. student mother lawyer catholic etc. \n + all individuals havemore than one social identity. but this plurality leads to conflict since they have a primary identity that is continuous across time/place. ● shared identities are predicated on common goals and values or experiences. they involve social movements as well as personal meaning. ● self identity personal id that sets us apart as individuals. we form our own unique id through self development and our connection to the world. revolves around symbolic interactionist. individual choice and agency are key in shaping self id outside of culture. more socially and geographically mobile due to urban growth and industry and and less social formations. now gender and sexual orientation play a greater role other than homogenous communities. the choices we make about what to wear and how to behave and spend our time help makes who we are as self aware beings. socialization through the life course ● the stages of human life are social and biological. in modern west society we die of old age, but in traditional society, we die younger. childhood + infancy to teen years + aries= young medievla children didn’t exist (work and paintings prove this) + the idea of child labor is morally repugnant is a recent change. traditional other societies still have children work. ● a children centered society is not one that has love and care from parents and adults. societies now are more child centered than traditional ones were, but the abuse they go through is common in present day society. the teenager + it is a recent idea. + biological changes in puberty (sexual reproduction and activity) are universal. ● agegrade cultures have easier ceremonies since the pace of change is slower. ● but in modern society, kids have to take away their toys and break childish pursuits, whereas in traditional society doing this was less jarring since the children were already mature to begin with. ● western culture they try to follow adults, but are treated like children lawfully. young adulthood women used to face the fate of childbirth more back then. ● people were usually closer to family and kin back then. but now marriage, family life and other contexts must resolve uncertainties. individuals choose marriage now, not arranged family marriages, so it’s more personal id now. more freedom= more responsiblity \n midlife crisis= should have done more to contribute to society in the long run. throw away opportunities that life had to offer. old age traditionally, age was authority. elders had the final say. industrial countries think less of them since they don’t contribute anymore. yet now there are more old people throughout the years. it’s hard to reward their hard lives in modern society whereas they used to be the pinnacle of respect in older times. be more physically healthy at old age to have prevalent “third age” since inner resources were looked upon greatly. theories of socialization ● one of the most distinctive features is that humans are self aware, animals are not. ● most prominent child development theories emphasize different aspects of socialization. ● cognition: the ways in which children learn to think about themselves in their environment. developed by piaget, but mead mainly considered the “i and me” concept of children. ● gh mead and the development of self + mead= interactionism + symbols and interpretation of meanings. also concentrate on the self. ● infants develop as social beings by imitating that which is around them. “taking the role of the other.” the older they get, the more they understand and try mimicking an adult role. only at this exact stage do they develop a true sense of self, identifying themselves as separate agents as a “me.” (see self through others) ● only learn by distinguishing i from me. i= unsocial infant/ wants and desires without thought social self= me. individual by the reactions of others, a person only obtains this when they become aware of this identity. this leads toself consciousness= a wareness of one’s distinct identity as a person seperate from others. obtained by socialization, learning the language is important. ages 89 witness organized games rather than unsystematic play. they understand morals and values. generalized other= the moral values and rules of a culture which they are developing. this grows from understanding the rules of play and understanding equal opportunity. jean piaget and the stages of cognitive development ● emphasis on child capability to make sense of world. skills grow depending on the skills completion before that one. ● sensorimitor stage birth to 2 years old= physically explore and touch things to understand. until 4 months, they don’t know anything exists out of their own vision. \n + the main accomplishment of this stage is understanding their environment has distinct and stable properties. ● preoperational stage (most research) age 27, symbolic faction and using words and language to describe. egocentric thought, they determine the world through their own position. they don’t know that other people have other perspectives. ● egocentric speech what each child says is more or less unrelated to what the other speaker said. they don’t understand speed and weight and causality or number. they talk to each other, but not like adults. ● concrete operational stage 711.abstract and logic starts to happen. mathematics and causality. less egocentric. + up to this stage (^) are universal, but not all adults reach the next stage. this all depends on schooling. ● formal operational stage 1 115. grasp abstract and hypothetical, review all parts of a problem and theoretically find a solution. freud’s theory + influential and controversial theory of gender id + centers around the possession or absence of the penis. ● it is not only anatomy that matters, but the absence of such a gential is symbolic of masculinity or femininity. age 45, boy unconsciously thinks father will remove his penis. gives up love of mother due to father. girls have penisenvy since they don’t have such an organ. if they level with mom, they are said to be “submissive” and recognize being “second best.” ● latency period (early and middle years of school) has little sexual activity until puberty happens. this is when samesex peer groups are most important in their lives. ● controversial due to: penis superior to vagina father as definitive figure gender too associated with genitals concentrated at 45, but it begins earlier for other authors chodorow’s theory + argues that learning gender identity has to do with infant attachment to parents during infancy. + mother is more important here since they are more associated to infants early lives. must be separated to gain self dependence. ● breaking process is different for genders. girls hug and kiss more, so they develop a sense of self continuously with other people as they get older since there is no sharp break from mother. her identity is either closely associated to the mother or then later to a man= sensitivity and emotional compassion. \n boys have radical rejection, they just don’t want to be feminine. they are more analytical and less dependent on others. less feeling, more action and glorification of their abilities. + this almost reverses freud’s emphasis. ● masculinity= defined by loss of connection to mother. formed through seperation and isolation. they feel in danger if they depend too much on others. ● femininity= no close relationship equals loss of selfesteem. women express themselves in terms of relationships. men are more manipulative. ● criticisms (by sayers) doesn’t explain struggle of independent women. only based on white middle class model families. femininity may conceal feelings of aggression only obliquely in certain contexts. ● male inexpressiveness t he difficulty men have in revealing their feelings to others. gilligans theory + focused on adult men and women, stemmed off chodorow. agrees with idea of women valuing relationships/ judge ability to care for others. women’s concern for relationships appears weak to men, even though the women are helping the male to begin with as a helpmate/caretaker. ● what is morally right or wrong? (200 people were asked) males say: ideals of duty and justice and freedom females say: theme of helping others (felt contradiction between harming others and following code) + women are successful in selfview when they help others rather than individual achievement. research on socialization today women in the workforce ● deborah car focused on the change of women over the centuries. studied middle class twentieth century families. women were expected to stay home and take care of children. men were the money makers and gender id was clear here. ● new midlife= the time for new beginnings in women. pick up new hobbies and learn from daughters and especially start their own business away from husbands. challenge: to translate private troubles into public issues show women they are not alone. older women now regret not being as active as their daughters currently are. daughters has difficulty staying close to family due to work, but they also had liberation and self esteem. early child care and youth development \n ● belsky researches studies different environments children grew up around and within, such as who they were raised by and such. (nichd) measured periodic amount of care and compared it to their progress on test scores and emotional capabilities. children in childcare were often less well behaved despite considering socioeconomic resources and mental health in parents. + the differences between child care and parentraised are very small. ● other important findings: children in child care had better vocabulary quality of parenting was more important than where they were cared for parents have more of a long term connection while child care is short family life was stable, school was always changing unanswered social questions about socialization ● gender socialization: the learning of gender roles through social factors of family/media. gender socialization: reactions of parents and adults parents reactions to their children are actually different depending on gender no matter if they think it’s the same or not. gave child different toys just based on gender, but it was the same child. gender learning + gender learning by infants is unconscious. + women’s cosmetics scent differently from males, so before a child can label itself as a boy or girl, it receives preverbal cues. ● age 2, small understanding of gender. only at 5 or 6 do they understand that sex doesn’t change and it’s all anatomy based. ● zammuner: toy preference study 710 years old. the italian culture chose more genderdifferentiated toys than the dutch since italy holds traditional view of gender more. girls chose genderneutral toys more than boys chose girl toys. storybooks and tv ● weitzman: books and gender study. girls were less frequent and were often confined to small tasks while males were independent and strong. women outside of the home were fantasy fairies and stuff while males were cops and kings and such. bulk of literature stays the same. feminists rewrite prince trope, but this is for adults. difficulty of nonsexist child rearing ● statham: study nonsexist child rearing, combined feminine and masculine things in study. it was easier to play with gender neutral toys than to ask boys to be sensitive and ask girls to be more adventurous. \n once gender is assigned, it’s a social construct. the question of video games ● breivik: urdered 77 people by practicing on gta4. ● gentile: strong correlation b/w violence in games and aggressive children. negligence and drug use too. even nonviolent children will get aggressive if they play these games games teach to push and shove, as well as violent media. + there is no causal effect the entertainment software association. the “results” lack concensus and are ambiguous. ● sternheimer: contrived definitions of aggression. would this violent player fine more in monopoly? would they blow their horn? would they read words aggressively? ● ferguson: countered gentile, violent games did not contribute.

accomplish fairness goals ● can involve policies such as: ○ lifeline rates for telephone service for lowincome people ○ the provision of aid such as food stamps costofservice theory ● regulation in a number of industries has centered on costofservice pricing ● this costofservice regulatory system has been blamed for inducing high costs and slowing the introduction of new technology. chapter 11: financial markets and their regulation introduction \n ● the capital markets are an essential component of a capitalist economic system that allow individuals to ○ save their money in a broad array of financial instruments ○ transform those savings into funding for businesses, homebuying, and retirement the formal and informal banking systems ● depository institutions such as banks accept deposits and make loans ○ these institutions are required to maintain a fractional reserve requirement ■ allows the formal banking system to lend a multiple of the deposits held repurchase agreement “shadow banking” system ● operates outside the purview of regulators ○ provides much of the financing for banks, securities traders, and mortgage lenders ● securitization involves pooling contractual debt

regulation and supervision ○ dramatic failures of corporate governance and risk management at many systemically important financial institutions ○ excessive borrowing, risky investments, and lack of transparency ○ inconsistent response of an ill prepared government ○ collapsing mortgagelending standards and the mortgage securitization pipeline ○ overthecounter derivatives contributed significantly ○ failures of the credit rating agencies were essential cogs in the wheel of financial destruction ● 10 essential causes identified by the dissenters: ○ credit bubble ○ housing bubble ○ nontraditional mortgages ○ credit ratings and securitization ○ financial institutions concentrated correlated risks ○ leverage and liquidity risk ○ risk of contagion ○ common shock (the fall in housing prices) ○ financial shock and panic ○ financial crisis causes economic crisis \n tarp, bailouts, and the stimulus ● the bush administration and congress created the troubled asset relief

imperfections, including externalities and public goods ● focuses on the standard of social efficiency ● provide s a conceptual foundation for both regulation and the liability system \n transaction costs and the limits of the coase theorem ● the coase theorem implies that: ○ when bargaining between the parties to an externality is possible, social efficiency can be achieved capandtrade systems ●

is a capandtrade system that covers 12,000 facilities in 15 eu member states ○ the eu goal was an 8 percent reduction by 2012 from a 1990 base emissions trading within bp plc (british petroleum) ● to address the global climate change issue: ○ in 1998 bp plc committed by 2010 to reduce its emissions of greenhouse gases (ghgs) by 10 percent from 1990 levels ● to achieve its goal, bp worked with environmental defense to develop an internal ghgs trading system for the company the regional greenhouse gas initiative ● formed in 2005 by 10 northeastern u.s. states \n ○ to operate a capandtrade system for reducing greenhouse gases emissions ○ auctioned 86 percent of the allowances generating $790 million through 2010 ● supported by companies that benefited from the funds generated by the auctions ○ other companies argued that it drove up costs and drove jobs away the environmental protection agency (epa) ● an independent agency located in the executive branch ● headed by an

notice of a complaint and a hearing before an administrative law judge standards setting and engineering control ● epa regulation has largely been command and control ○ uniform rules or standards are ordered and then enforced ● the epa sets emissions standards and air quality standards ● epa has increasingly used incentive approaches: ○ credits and offsets superfund ● administered by the epa ○ for the cleanup of existing toxic waste disposal sites ● epa attempts to identify the source of the dumping and force it to clean the site the nature of environmental politics ● environmental issues are complex because of: ○ scientific uncertainty about the consequences of pollution ○ incomplete information about the costs and benefits of environmental protection ○ disagreements about alternative approaches, such as liability versus regulation, to protection ○ differing perspectives about the protection of entitlements judicial politics ● politics of environmental protection often moves into judicial arenas ● environmental groups have succeeded in inserting citizen provisions in environmental statutes \n advocacy science ● much remains unknown about environmental hazards and their control ○ this scientific uncertainty is a source of contention in environmental politics ○ it provides an opportunity to use advocacy science as a component of a private politics strategy distributive politics ● environmental politics is motivated by: ○ distributive consequences of environmental policy ○ costs of environmental protection ○ benefits from the reduction in pollution and hazards private and public politics ● many environmental ngos active in public politics at the federal, state, and local levels ● environmental groups testify regularly in legislative and regulatory hearings ○ some demonstrate to attract media coverage to their side of the issue nimby and private politics ● nimby “not in mybackyard” ○ focuses on local environmental concerns, particularly as they involve possible risks to persons or property ○ directed toward: refuse disposal & toxic waste sites, chemical & oil plants, other facilities that may emit toxins ● energized by information provided by the

14001 ● responsible care program ● criticisms of voluntary programs ○ called “greenwash” by environmental groups ○ allege that these programs sound good to the public ○ fail to live up to their promises chapter 13: the investor’s perspective: renewable energy introduction \n ● managing effectively in the nonmarket environment is essential for firms when: ○ a company is at a major strategic crossroad ○ there are market or nonmarket challenges ● strategy implementation is essential on an ongoing basis at an operational level to: ○ achieve performance goals ○ address challenges ○ seize opportunities investment decisions ● in making their decisions, investors assess: ○ opportunities and risks associated with firms ○ quality of their management ● the assessment of managerial quality depends on: ○ a firm’s leadership and market strategy ○ a firm's nonmarket strategy ○ the ability of management to anticipate and deal effectively with the emergence and development of nonmarket issues the environment of wind and solar power ● longterm opportunities for wind and solar power were enormous ○ supply costs were falling ○ demand for renewable power was expected to continue to grow ○ demand growth had been led by europe as a result of generous subsidies ■ as the subsidies were reduced, growth slowed ○ at the same time demand grew in china and the united states ■ more countries began to support wind and solar power ○ demand was expected to grow substantially in china and developing nations ● growth hinged on government support and the cost of other energy sources markets and government involvement ● retail electricity prices varied greatly across the states ○ both solar and wind power were quite variable ■ solar power output depended on the weather ■ wind power was most attractive in locations where the wind blows hard and steadily ○ solar/wind power faced nonmarket opposition because of: ■ the cost of subsidization ■ environmental nimby market signal ● market for solar panels in europe and the united states slowed to a crawl in 2010 \n ○ market in china grew at a rapid pace economic rationale for subsidization ● economic rationales for the subsidization of renewable power: ○ based on positive externalities ■ subsidization provides environmental improvements by displacing carbonbased power generated from coal or natural gas ■ subsidization provides security benefits to the extent that it reduced the dependence on imported fuels ○ intended to achieve cost efficiencies and increased output ■ subsidies could enable producers to realize economies of scale that would reduce costs and allow output to expand political rationale for subsidization ● positive externalities for the environment and security benefitted constituents ● subsidization generated pork: ○ recipients of the subsidies and their suppliers earned rents from the economic activity stimulated by the subsidization the costs of subsidization ● direct costs of subsidies are the corresponding government budget expenditures and liabilities ○ examples grants and loan guaranties solyndra inc ● in 2008 solyndra and solar power, inc., a leading installer of solar panels, agreed to a supply arrangement for $325 million of solar panels over the 2008–2012 period ● market risks: prices and costs ● non market risks *solar power opportunities and risks—market and nonmarket factors \n

(park, levine, weber, lee, terra, botero, & wilson, 2012). the chinese businessmen and women focus on utilizing high context communication styles and relationships. the high context communication style is a very passive form of communication, offering a bit of interpretation and translation into any conversation. this form of communication leaves a significant area open to guessing and assuming while reading between the lines. while the chinese may operate on one side of the spectrum, american’s fall on the other side of the spectrum. americans, in general, are very pointed and direct in their business dealings and require very little context to develop an understanding of what the desires and wants of the company. while low context language is a characteristic of american communication styles, and high context language is representative of the chinese business practices. high context language requires a significant amount of body language and interpretation of symbolic gestures while low context requires very little interpretation (zhu, 2009). an american company desiring to move into the chinese marketplace must recognize the differences between the cultures and study the specific nuances between them. in addition, a \n 4 strong entry method for an american company moving into the chinese marketplace is to form a partnership with a local company. as the u.s company partners with a local corporation, the company begins to build rapport. building rapport in this fashion would significantly benefit an american company. another area that could be a problem for an american company is the use of children for labor. the estimated total of child laborers being utilized as recently as 2011, is between 2 and 3.5 million children. this includes the number of children forced into labor not only by employers but parents as well. this is a significant issue and is now becoming more prevalent due to the increased media coverage (minli & jun sung, 2011). while american’s and a significant portion of the world see utilizing child labor as a significant issue, the chinese tend to have a different mindset. in some cases, parents in a chinese household may be necessary for children to work to help the family keep from starving. in some families this is the only way the family can survive. to bridge this gap, the u.s. company must find an appropriate strategy to conduct business without offending the chinese. leadership a man that exuded leadership and a mentor to my own work is steve jobs. apple is one of the most successful global companies in existence due to his perseverance and insightfulness. his character consisted of many qualities that were not appreciated by many, but his level of success was extraordinary. he was a harsh man, driven, and had very little time for other peoples’ opinions. although, what he did have was a creative side that allowed him to focus upon and blend art, creativeness, and technology. his instruction was very clear and his focus and intention shared with his employees. jobs was also known for following a path in life and business that were unique. conforming to a standard other than his own was not part of his plan \n 5 (cusumano, 2011). as on of the most controversial leaders and ceos within the current history, a researcher could debate as to the effectiveness of job’s leadership. one could assume that his leadership style as unbending and direct as it was potentially lost business for apple, but his creativity and level of vision could be debated as the reasons why apple was so successful in the first place (hurleyhanson & giannantonio, 2013). cultural differences marketers have an increasingly difficult position as they are responsible for not only getting the product out to market but the nuances of the people in the country the product is being marketed within. while it may seem obvious that understanding cultural differences are second nature to a marketer, they are not necessarily so. american marketers, as most american’s in general, have an opinion that other cultures should bend to the will of the american. other cultures do not appear to be as forward with the same opinion. in many cases, while traveling abroad, other cultures have a tendency to shy away from americans as we are viewed as unbending, too direct, and often times brash and offensive. while cultural differences should be considered second nature and reflexive, a majority of the time they are not. the statement “all too often cultures are insufficiently studied or wrongly interpreted by newly entering outsiders” is true. many marketers focus on certain aspects of a culture and then begin to apply the aspect to all others within that culture. the term used for this concept is stereotyping. while culture is generally analyzed and evaluated at a societal or national level, the culture needs to be analyzed at the regional, organizational, and individual level to effectively uncover smaller cultures within a culture (samaha, beck, & palmatier, 2014). one of the main challenges for any mnc is negotiating deals with people or companies \n 6 within different countries with differing values and beliefs. the challenge while conducting business in a new environment is doing so in a way that will not offend the other culture. with one small slip of the tongue or the perception of the body language being presented, could put an end a deal before it begins. negotiating in a foreign county can be difficult due to the context, high or low, direct or indirect communication, and the underlying meanings of body language. the variations of each of the items noted can be the make or break decision within a deal (payne, 2013). while a negotiator may believe a certain culture will act a certain way, there are no clear cut guidelines. in addition, the rules and the line may become very fuzzy, the negotiator must stay cognizant of the other culture. a personal example to provide a further insight of this existed while serving on active duty as a contracts manager in afghanistan. the rule of taking gifts from a contractor over $25 was not allowed. the guideline was outlined in the regulations and was a policy throughout the department of defense. while the local national afghan contractors knew about the rule; it was their custom to bring gifts to those offering a contact for bid. as the solicitation document was advertised for twentyfoot twalls, an afghan business owner chose to bring a large gift of flowers to me personally as the deputy commander in theater, otherwise known as the war zone. the flowers were freshly picked from the local lands as their dirt caked roots were still attached when presented. the gesture for me was a bit out of the norm as a u.s. citizen, in a position of authority, but this concept was customary to them. the procedure was to make the attempt to politely refuse the gift if it exceeded the $25 threshold. if politely declining didn't work and if the person would be highly offended if the gift was refused, an individual could accost the gift and subsequent spread it amongst the office or turn it into the judge advocate general (jag). after the jag received the gift, a formal report was created and \n 7 placed on file. if the gift was valuable, for instance jewelry or silk rugs, the gift was later sold and the funds distributed back to the office. from the military standpoint, this type of gesture was considered to be an improper gift known as a bribe, while the afghan businessmen may see the offering a purely a custom and polite gesture. another challenge for any mnc entering a foreign market is what actually constitutes a crime. each country has a unique set of rules and laws that make up the justice system. the rules from one country to another can vary from slightly different to completely different in nature. an mnc or even just the individuals working within that company can find the way to a jail sentence rather rapidly if laws are not followed. ignorance and/or not knowing the rules is not an excuse that is acceptable to the lawmakers and enforcers of other countries. it is the individual's responsibility to know and ensure the country's rules are understood prior to traveling and functioning in a given environment. even if all of the specific rules are not understood, a mitigation technique would involve hiring a local to help walk through the customs and courtesies within each individual country. recently after conducting an interview with s. long, (personal communication, december 30, 2015) this concept i found to be true. she was discussing a story of her most recent experiences while working abroad. ms. long and her coworker participated in the doctors without borders and found out the customs were very different while working in saudi arabia. ms. long’s coworker, a british citizen, was unaware of certain laws in saudi arabia. as they traveled to one of their sites, her coworker decided to light a cigarette in the back seat of the taxi. after lighting up, the taxi driver pulled over, grabbed her coworker by the hair and beat her so severely she need an emergency room. even as \n 8 a british citizen, this woman had little to no rights in this country. she was not pulled out for the actual lighting of a cigarette, but rather that she was a woman and lighting the cigarette. ms. long and her coworker put themselves in a hostile situation by not knowing the customs and law in saudi arabia. the laws, no matter how obscene they may seem to the rest of the world, ms. long’s friend could have been killed without any repercussions of the saudi government. according to the saudi government, the taxi driver had every right to discipline a woman that was not conforming to certain standard. now, this may be an extreme example of culture and a country's custom, any incident could cause issues if the rules and laws are not followed nor translated appropriately. child slavery and trafficking are significant issues to contend with while working within china's borders. china is a developing country with and overcrowded population. trafficking, slavery, and child labor will affect those businesses operating in china. a business may come into contact with one or all of these issues while working within the county (payne, 2013) the important part each business owner must know and understand is how to battle each effectively to avoid unethical business dealings. trust in business china and india both have similar cultures in the sense that they are focused on building relationships in business. trust is a significant factor between entities that are conducting business within the chinese culture. not only is the relationship factor a significant attribute of any business wishing to conduct business within china, but reputation is important as well. the chinese release products and conduct business with corporations that are proven in safety as well as reputation. this also relates directly back to developing relationships. the chinese are loyal \n 9 to the products that have developed positive relationships within the marketplace (cayla & arnould, 2008). relationships are also important for the people of india. social structures, networks, and norms are areas that the people of india firmly believe in. the structures and networks are set up over time allowing relationships to be built over a period of many years. this concept allows for a certain level of trust to be maintained. larger nations such as the u.s. are primarily focused upon profit and contracts, and are generally not concerned about other areas outside of profitability (levien, 2015). the family and social element within both india and china support a barrier to entry for outside firms. an outside firm would best function in this type of environment by developing a relationship with a local business and creating a partnership first and foremost. with the partnership, the local company can serve as the face of that partnership, allowing for an outside firm to perform on the backend. this strategy may or may not be effective if the connection between the two companies is identified by the consumers and the consumers do not approve. consumers may see this as a betrayal to the overall system, but on the other hand, the opportunity cost may be worth the risk. global business responsibility one of the questions for this week’s assignment takes a look at milton friedman’s viewpoint towards corporate responsibility in the global business environment. as a researcher, one must ask, who is milton friedman and why do we care? milton friedman, according to wikipedia (2015) was “…an american economist who received the 1976 nobel memorial prize in economic sciences for his research on consumption analysis, monetary history and theory and the complexity of stabilization policy.” milton friedman’s contention that the only \n 10 responsibility of a global business is “to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits so long as it stays within the rules of the game?” friedman’s theory was that corporate social responsibility went only as far as to make and increase profits (wikipedia, 2015). the question was asked is if i personally agree with this philosophy. the answer to this question is no, not at all. corporations are entities and just as humans, they have responsibility and liabilities. as we can see from the past, companies that were not held accountable and were only in business to make money, did so at a cost to not only other people, but to wildlife and the environment as well. while people that enter into the business world may not consider the responsibilities they need to face if something goes wrong. it’s not a shock to most of the world that most companies would do what they could to not have to be responsible for a potential issue. when it comes to money, greed consistently brings out the worst in people and to defeat this, laws must be put into place to protect land, wildlife, as well as human life. an example of a corporate entity being made to take responsibility, even if saving face is what made the final determination to clean up the mess, was bp. bp’s oil spill in 2010 killed 11 workers, caused injuries to 17 others, created billions in environmental damage, as well as losses to companies in the business of seaside tourism and real estate (winkler, & gordon, 2013). other issues that need to be considered during an oil spill are ties to renewable sources, damage to ecosystems, future economic worries, and safety issues with seafood harvests in oiled areas. in addition, full ecosystems can be lost with the newly polluted water whether the aquatic life rests on the tainted waters or eats the prey living in the ocean that have been tainted (gill, ritchie, picou, langhinrichsenrohling, long, & shenesey, n.d). in addition, businesses closed and weren’t opened. if an area is a tourist attraction is \n 11 affected by an oil spill in the area and business are not able to take in enough income, the doors will close, and many on a permanent basis. once the businesses close, people may have to relocate to find employment or begin a new business, lessening the funds in the community even further. also, those individuals that fish and utilize the sea to provide an income, can also be affected. people that have lived their entire lives providing an income for their families are now faced with dire conditions. the company that had the spill needs to fully compensate individuals for the current and future loss. this issue can become very difficult when attempting to place a figure on the level of damage inflicted. during these types of scenarios, greed can be found on every end. no one wants to give up profit and those with the loss will want to do everything that can be done to acquire every last penny. finding an equitable adjustment for all parties involved is extremely to do as there are now more individuals involved. now, companies have to pay attorney’s fees, surveyors, assessors, judges, and the list goes on. in 2010, there was yet another oil spill that was large enough to make the news. there were eleven crew members of exxon’s deepwater horizon drilling rig killed, and others injured in a significant accidental spill. this large spill affected thousands of fishermen, marine life and organisms, as well as marshes and the lands along the coast of louisiana, mississippi, alabama, and florida. during this spill 4.4 million barrels of oil were discharged, and while exxon was able to clean up a significant portion of the oil, the effects of the spill will be seen for decades to come (griggs, 2011). while bp and exxon were charged with cleaning up the mess they created, there were mandated to pay out current as well as potential future losses as well. the companies were sued by hundreds of people, from employees to family members of employees, to land owners, to \n 12 wildlife associations. the damage that was caused was greater than anyone could have imagined and while that is a significant issue, the fact that the u.s. federal government had to assist the people affected by the spills. the government assisted with ensuring individuals were properly taken care of and housed, fed, and clothed during the time of crisis. the question that needs to be asked was; why are government funds, otherwise known as taxpayer dollars are being utilized to clean up a mess created by an extremely large global organization (mancuso, alemayehu, fox, & fulk, 2014). \n 13 conclusion the changes taking place in the international marketplace are more prevalent than ever. global firms are subject to competition, large supply sources of supply, rapidly changing political, economic, social, technological, and climatic environments. as global firms begin to operate in this large, fast changing environment, the firms must find new and unique ways to bridge the gap between the current environment and the projected environment. multinational corporations (mncs) need to not only to comply with their home country’s laws but the laws within the newly selected operational area. within the confines of an mnc, the company’s leadership is responsible for finding ways to operate around the globe. examples that will be discussed are those that include american versus chinese cultures and the leadership operating within another country’s constraints. in addition to working within constraints of various cultures, leadership and managers’ must take cultural differences into consideration and plan appropriately. by planning for the differences between the cultures, successful business operations can be conducted. this week’s assignment will discuss the following: (a) bridging the gap, (b) leadership, (c) cultural differences, (d) trust in business, and (e) global business responsibility \n 14 references cayla, j., & arnould, e. j.

"text": " ethical and philosophical foundation of crj 03.05.2015 question: identify and discuss three ethical issues in the juvenile justice system. how have they been addressed? the families, society and the police departments make its best effort to prevent crime. especially, they try to keep the kids away from committing crime so that they don’t have to enter the juvenile justice system. despite all these efforts, kids always get involved in crime; hence, they enter into the juvenile justice system where they have to face incarceration, mandatory probation hours etc. the main reason of putting them behind the bars is to teach discipline and scare them from committing any further crime. however, federal reports have shown, putting troubled kids into more punitive situation can cause them to commit more crime and ruins all the opportunity to learn new skills and ways of behaving that are more positive. the society and the juvenile justice system should make more efforts in preventing crime before the kids enters the juvenile justice system so that they have a better chance of leading a successful life. according to federal reports, a very few juveniles go towards a healthy successful life after finishing their sentence and twothirds of them are more likely to come back within three to five years period. in this case, the juvenile justice system is failing to accomplish the primary reason they are created for which is to make sure that the juveniles don’t come back to doing crimes and start leading a more disciplined life. the critics and authors have argued that it is ethically wrong to put kids around 1619 ages in punitive situation because they are causing more harm instead of causing anything better. the president and ceo of the atlantabased southern education foundation, kent mcguire argued that they are still kinds. even though they have committed crime they deserve to be taught what is right and not put in more severe situation like long term incarceration and social isolation (morones, 1). thus, it is a mutual concern that the juvenile justice system should enforce more academic curriculum for the juveniles and not put them in more punitive situations for their betterment. one of the most alarming and concerning question raises when the federal report shows a very high percentage of african american and hispanic juveniles behind the bars but very low \n portion of white juveniles. according to the federal report, “on any given day, 70,000 students are in custody in juvenilejustice systems across the country. nearly, twothirds of those young people are either african american or hispanic, and an even higher percentage are male.” (morones, 1). another author, florencio ramirez stated that under his jurisdiction, about 95 percent juveniles are either africanamerican or hispanic. he questions to the readers, does this mean that the other races are not committing crime? especially white population are one of the rarest population that has been seen behind the bars. however, this does not conclude that they are not committing crime in the society. it is pretty visible that there is racial disparities among the society and the juvenile justice system. even if when the white population enters the juvenile justice system, they tend to get away with their crime and not face any punitive action because of their privilege. it is highly unethical to have racial disparities among the system because it tend to hurt the society in large. ramirez tells his readers, “reducing racial disparities requires specific strategies aimed at eliminating bias and ensuring a level playing field for youth of color” (ramirez, 2). to make it safe and fair for everybody in the society and the juvenile system, it is required to have a nonbiased look towards this. another ethical issue that the kids in juvenile system tend to face is lack of education and help with learning and developing social skills. kids that tend to drop out from high school or middle school tend to go towards crime more than the kids who is regular at their schools. these kids need special help in getting back to their track so that they can start going to school again and prevent themselves from committing any further crimes. however, proper education system is not available at the juvenile justice system. several authors and critics suggested that the juvenile justice system lacks coordination between learning and teaching during a student’s stay, and inconsistency in curricula (morones, 1). the federal report suggests students made very little academic progress while they were under juvenile justice system. kids that enters this system are usually with mental issues and poor learning skills. they should not be treated as regular kids. hence, their academic curricula is supposed to be modified and different from regular student’s curricula. many juvenile justice system workers don’t understand the severity and thus they kept doing the process years after years. now, light had been brought up to this situation and several essential steps are needed to be takes in order to solve this injustice. kids that enter the system \n with poor social skills, a little or no learning skill and poor mental health have to be taken in special consideration and set up essential help group to support them and help them to succeed in life. the juvenile justice system’s goal should be to make these kids life better, not worse than what it was before. adults and the children were basically treated the same under the justice system until the twentieth century. after that, two different justice systems were established to make the children’s life a better place and prevent them from committing any further crime. even they there were two different systems and policies for adults and kids, they still lacked numerous ethical and important aspects of a justice system. after writing on article and seeing the federal reports, many states and counties decided to modify their system in order to prevent crimes in a better way and help the kids more than they have ever done. reports have shown, the less children drop out from school or college is the less people joins the juvenile justice system every year. hence, several states started establishing more discipline in schools to lower down the drop out number. georgia was successful in lowering down that number by 44 percentage which helped them to lower down the crime percentage of the whole entire year. since 2010, every states have been working on removing racial disparities from every system under resolving crime. especially the southern states have been decreased the rate of racism in juvenile justice system. to improve the educations system under juvenile justice system, officers have changed their curricula and started to pay extra attention towards the mentally disabled kids and the kids with poor social skills; so that they can go back to school after their sentences and lead a better life with their friends and families. \n work cited: alyssa morones (2014). juvenilejustice system not meeting educational need, report says. education week.com florenceio ramirez (2008). juvenile delinquency. americanbar.org \n ethical and philosophical foundation of crj 03.18.2015 question: thinking about ‘corrections’ its purposes and ethical drawbacks identify and discuss some ethical issues in corrections and efforts to address them. corrections is one of the most important part of the criminal justice system. every system is associated with various different issues. when it comes to correction issues, people tend to talk about the problems with budget and healthcare rather than talking about the ethical aspect of it. however, there are several ethical issues related with corrections system that needs to be looked at and fixed at everyone’s earliest concern. there are several ethical problems that authors, critics or officers have pointed out in last couple years. this paper will focus on three main ethical issues regarding the correction system and what step are taken as well as needs to be taken in order to eradicate them. the three main ethical issues are inmate mental health, prison privatization and prison or corrections stuff ethics. every prison in united states fills their lockers with inmates with mental issues. putting inmates with mental issue in traditional prisons is hardly a new news. this has been going on since decades and people finally decided to change it in last couple years. the writer robert winters (2013) wrote in his article ‘examining two fundamental ethical issues in u.s. corrections’ that, “today about 10 percent of the national offender population can be characterized as having a “serious” mental illness, and about 20 percent have some form of antisocial personality disorder as defined by the minnesota multiphasic personality inventory (mmpi)” (p.2). the criminal justice system used to put a large number of mentally ill inmates because they didn’t realize the important of treating them. treating those patients is more expensive than putting them behind traditional lockers and fulfilling their quota. hence, no actions were taken in order to change this unfairness for several years. but what they didn’t understand was, if they put them in traditional jails and don’t take care of them they will end up staying there for a longer time than the other inmates. studies say that these ill inmates stays in prison 5 times longer than the other inmates. which will cause in spending more money on them \n anyway. so why not build centers or organizations that will take care of them in the first place and help them to get better. the next main ethical issue of the correction system is prison privatization. the government collects a certain amount of tax from all the citizens for the correction system. therefore, there’s a quota of inmates that need to be fulfilled every year to collect that required money from citizens. this means, the law enforcement has to put people in jail regardless they are guilty or not to reach a certain number. this is highly unethical because inmates might not deserve all those punishment but they would still have to because the system requires them to. every year people see cases after cases where inmates don’t get fair trial and get locked up behind the bars for several years for no reason. the congress has created this law; hence, the congress enforces every sector of criminal justice system to fulfil this quota without thinking what the prisoners might have to go through. it is not only unfair for the prisoners, but also unfair for the taxpayers that are working so hard to raise all these money but giving it away because the law requires them to do so. the congress should take a better look at it and either lower the quota number or get rid of this whole quota system so save money and people’s life. the last but not the least issue of the correction system is correction stuff ethics. it is debatable that every stuff at prisons or correction office works as honestly as possible every day. the correction or prison officers have quotas to fulfil; which is one of the main reasons why sometimes they put people in the system who don’t deserve. correction officers can’t let people get out of the programs because they have to hold them coming back. in this scenarios, the system doesn’t care if people are guilty, guilty enough to serve long term prison sentence or if they are succeeding in life after getting out of the system. as a result, it is difficult for the officers too to be fair to everyone and make sure that everyone gets their fair share in every section of the criminal justice system. these officers often don’t get paid enough to deal with all these troubles every day. often it gets hectic too because they deal with all kinds of dangerous criminals in office or outside of office. they put their own life in risk to solve other criminals’ lives. as a result, some officers tend to not complete their duties honestly. often they get discouraged too when they see criminals not getting better in the society. they think, there is no \n hope for them, so why even bother. these are some of the reasons why correction or prison officers get distracted or discouraged at their jobs to do it with full honesty and fairness. all these ethical issues mentioned above were neglected for several years. however, the criminal justice system has finally looked at them and trying to take proper steps to eradicate all these issues from the society. several counties in united states are building health center where they take care of the mentally ill inmates. proper care have been provided in those centers so that they can get better soon and the system can move them to either the traditional jail or can let them go to the society. instead of wasting billions and billions of money on those ill inmates, the system is taking the right step by treating them well. prison quota system has been in society for a long time and many writers have been writing about it and prosecutors have been debating about it so that the criminal justice system can get rid of it. every action serves some positive and some negative service. this quota system is not different either; as a result, the society might not be able to get rid of it entirely, but they are working on making everything fairer than it has been so far. if the government get rid of the quota system, it will make a large impact on making the correction officers life ten times easier. they wouldn’t have to worry about keeping the inmates in and they would be able to help out everyone if they want to. also increasing their payment would help the situation in several ways too. each year the counties are putting more and more money towards the correction system to help the society. if things keep going in such rate, people of this society can finally hope to get a better correction system. \n work cited: robert winter (2013). examining two fundamental ethical issues in u.s. corrections. retrieved from http://www.corrections.com/news/article/32769examiningtwofundamentalethicalissuesinu scorrections \n ethical and philosophical foundation of crj 03.26.2015 question: interrogation is an integral part of law enforcement; however, they are some ethical issues that must be recognized. identify and discuss three ethical issues. police department often brings eye witnesses or suspects to their office to question in order to reach the bottom of every case. this process is known as interrogation system in law enforcement. it has been an integral part of the case solving process and helped the law enforcement plethora of times. however, interrogation has been raised several ethical question in last couple years. it is evident that the law enforcement has been breaking the code of ethics and crossing the line in order to have their suspects to spill secrets. the question is, is it morally okay for police officers to cross this line to save the nation? or should they stop even if it might cost the nation a huge damage? this paper will focus on three main ethical questions that have been arose by the law makers regarding the interrogation process. the first issue is breaking the “do no harm” rule. united states has pledged not to punish anyone to get information, they don’t haze, period. however, for having ‘time clicking’ circumstances, police officers were often forced to break this rule. the second ethical issue is questioning someone indirectly, such as, lying to them or tricking them in order to spill the answers. this tactic has helped the police department in solving many cases, but there has been incidents where innocent people were forced to claim guilty because there was no way out. the last but not the least is being sexually harassed or seduced by a police officer or detective in order to gain some information. all these may help the law enforcement to solve crimes, but they also might be ethically wrong or those to be keep doing. the first ethical issue regarding interrogation is punishing people in order to spill information. according to the code of ethics, police officers cannot torture and punish anyone to get any information from them. for example, if someone is under police’s custody, they have to be fed and put in a comfortable situation when he/she is being asked questions. police officers cannot make them suffer by not giving food and torture them with anything while those people are under their custody. however, police officers have broken this code of ethics numerous times \n when its life and death situation. in these ‘clock ticking moment’ they have to apply certain kinds of torture in order to solve or stop any crime. one of this tactics used by the police department is called ‘waterboarding’ which is a kind of torture but nearly not as bad as electric shock or putting up for starvation. polices usually use them only when they know the nation is under attack and they think they are doing this for the best of everyone. the question is, is it still ethical to torture those people that are being interrogated for the sake of saving the nation. the author paul lauritzen mentions in his book “the ethics of interrogation” that it is a tough situation for the law enforcement officers to decide what’s ethically right and what needs to be done at that certain time. officers tend to choose the fastest tactic, which is scare them or make them uneasy to tell the officers what they know; which is without a doubt a breakage of the ‘do no harm’ rule. another tactic that police officers apply to avoid punishing is to investigate ‘indirectly’; which means officers will either lie or beat around the bush to confuse the person in custody to get information out of them. these type of incidents kept happening throughout the history of crime investigation. police department always either denied or refused to talk about it. recently in a conference, edward ohlbaum shared a story when he was working as a public defendant for a case in 1979. the defendant had confessed to a robbery because he failed a polygraph test. but later they found out, the police department didn’t use any legit polygraph machine. instead, they faked it and defendant had absolutely no idea about it. they solved the case; but the question was either the tactic was fair to the defendant or not. because often people confess to thing they didn’t do because of being under pressure. if police officers keep a possible terrorist and scare him to deport his family or harm them, he might spill the truth about terrorism or confess because he doesn’t want his family to be harmed. this situation can go both ways. it is kind of hard to say when an officer is making the right move and when he’s not by tricking someone. the person under investigation might lie too while held in custody if he’s being tricked by the police. that will only cause harm to the case rather than solving it. officers argue that tricking them helps than jeopardize it for the majority of the time. but the question is, is it fair to the other person or not? is it helping the officers in solving crime or it is putting someone else’s life in danger? \n women getting sexually harassed or seduced by men is not a new news to anyone. women have to face such things in every sphere of the society. the criminal justice system is no different. when women have to go through the system, there is a high risk of getting sexually harassed at some point; either it is in prison or in interrogation room. as men are more dominant and intimidated looking, they can easily scare women while they are in the system to get any information out of them. some police officers not only intimidate them with their masculinity but also try to harm them while being on the criminal justice system. there has been several cases where women have reported being sexually harassed by the police department; such as, anita hill in 1991 who was sexually harassed and humiliated by a supreme court officer. she was a young law professor who was questioned and humiliated while she was being interrogated. another tactic that officers use to get information from a female suspect is to seduce them. polices officers always have ca’s who provide them information; but some tend to engage with their ca’s in a romantic way to get more benefitted. one of the popular television shows, dexter covers a similar story where a detective cheats on his wife with one of cas’ and takes advantage of her which eventually costs her life. this incident is nothing new, male police officers have been taking advantage of female suspects for ages and there is no way anyone can see it to be ethical. it is highly unethical to be sexually harassed or used in any way even if it helps the officers to solve the crime. it is everyone’s right that comes first, and then solving any crime. \n work cited: peter wehner (2009). morality and enhanced interrogation techniques. commentary web exclusive. emilia mckee (2012). the use of deception and other ethical implications in interrogation methods. temple law review. \n ethical and philosophical foundation of crj final exam there are 7 elements of crime- harm, severity, legality, mens rea, actus reas, causation, concurrence, punishment. 3 agencies of criminal justice system- police, court, correction. two models of criminal justice system- crime control model and due process model. correction in us in considered as ‘rehabilitation’. truth sentencing- enacted in 1984, you have to serve at least 80% of your time. branches of government- legislature, judicial, executive. rule of law- “no one is above the law” there are 100 senators and 435 house of representatives. two types of ‘writs’- habes corpus and social diversion is built on labeling theory. 2 sources of international human rights- customary law and treaty law sentencing that counts as cruel punishment- intermediate sentencing first three words of the constitution – “we the people” first ten amendments are called the ‘bill of rights’ how many amendments does the constitution have- 27 congress has two parts: the u.s. senate and the u.s. house of representatives. the supreme law of the land- the constitution. highest court of us- supreme court john glover roberts jr. law clerk: a law clerk or a judicial clerk is a person who provides assistance to a judge in researching issues before the court and in writing opinions. brief: a written legal document used in various legal adversarial systems that is presented to a court arguing why one party to a particular case should prevail. writ of certiorari: a type of writ, meant for rare use, by which an appellate court decides to review a case at its discretion. writ of habeas corpus: a writ of habeas corpus is used to bring a prisoner or other detainee (e.g. institutionalized mental patient) before the court to determine if the person's imprisonment or detention is lawful. rule of four: in order to make a decision, four justices have to say ‘yes’. two main ethical issues for lawyers- the lecture and prepping witnesses. \n statistical backdrop of the immigration in us- 1910 – 1930 – steady growth of immigrant population; 1940 – 1970 – saw a decrease in numbers; 1980 – 2010 - increase was evident; by 2010 – the immigrant share of the population was 13%, a significant increase from 5% in 1970. primary states where immigrants moved in- california, texas, illinois, new jersey, florida, and new york. strain theory for immigration- “the american dream” diversion: occurs before trial. probation: occurs after a person has been convicted. goal of diversion: reduce recidivism through rehabilitation. diversion programs: drug courts, domestic violence, community, and mental health courts. shaming – temporary but labeling- permanent two ways of using diversion: unconditional diversion and conditional diversion. 3 stages of the drug court: detoxication, stabilization, and after care. 3 brunches of theory: applied, normative, meta country of origin variables: gdp, homicide rate, world governance, and religion. assimilation paths

will have used sexuality to make visible the immediacy of communion with art. explosive form and erotic content become reciprocal metaphors.” krauss, passages in modern sculpture ch 1 and 3 krauss compares two forms of sculpture. traditional (rationalist, neoclassical) and modern. characteristics of classic sculpture are narrative/history/time, frontality (a fixed \n vantage point that supports a central narrative) and sculptural allusion (figure/ground relationship in relief medium also supports the central narrative). points of divergence from modernism include: nonnarrative strategies, nomimetic/illusionistic, and marks of process that reveal the sculpture’s making. both of them rejected the technologically based role of analysis in sculpture, creating work that questioned the very role of narrative structure by gravitating toward that which is unitary and unanalyzable. although surrealist sculpture, developing in the 1930s, exploited certain aspects of their work, the aims of surrealism were such that much of what was most radical in duchamp’s and brancusi’s conception of sculpture was either ignored or transformed. indeed, it was not until the 1960s that duchamp’s concern with sculpture as a kind of aesthetic strategy and brancusi’s concern with form as a manifestation of surface assumed a central place in the thinking of a new generation of sculptors. krauss, “grids” there are two ways in which the grid functions to declare the modernity of modern art. one is spatial; the other is temporal. in the spatial sense, the grid states the autonomy of the realm of art. flattened, geometricized, ordered, it is antinatural, antimimetic, antireal. in the temporal dimension, the grid is an emblem of modernity by being just that: the form that is ubiquitous in the art of our century, while appearing nowhere, nowhere at all, in the art of the last one. benjamin, “the work of art in its age of its technical reproductability” th by the 19 century, technology had reached a level that artwork could be reproduced easily, causing a profound change in its effect, and also captured a place of its own among the artistic processes. the reproduction of artworks and the art of film have two different manifestations on art in its traditional form. in reproductions, the works unique existence in a particular place is lacking. by replicating a particular work over and over, it gets detached from the sphere of tradition and subtitutes a mass existence for a unique existence. the unique value of the “authentic” work of art has its basis in ritual, the source of its original use value. with the emancipation of specific artistic practices from the service of ritual, the opportunities for exhibiting the products increase. february 9, 2016 cezanne, uncle dominique, 1866 & the abduction, 1867 oldest of the impressionist painters. he was technically in the generation of manet but wasn’t involved in the movement until later with seurat in his earliest paintings, you can see how he is very odd. he wants to be close to the realism that characterized courbet \n he has put down his brushes and is using a spatula sort of tool that smears the paint and lays it down thick scenes of fantasy, return to various mythological metaphors no one accepted it or knew what to do with these paintings o uses an erotic and sexual metaphor for his work cezanne, house of the hanged man, 187273 & the bridge at maincy, 187980 this is the cezanne that associates himself with the impressionists didn’t have to worry about selling his paintings and could just focus on his art drawn to the techniques of impressionism o painting en plein air, divided brush strokes, contrasting colors in house… the setting is in the suburbs outside paris exiles human life form the scene o associates this painting with an abstractive theme o was the hung man murdered or was it suicide? techniques against impressionism o uses black linear paint, as though he wants to bring back this classical technique or isn’t able to give up the drawing aspect that impressionism ends o spreads his paint, causing solidarity o uses the traditional positioning of a tree to provide depth and push the surface toward the viewer motif of the bridge at the center, more or less geometric assembly o non modern techniques o he wanted to search for the cylinder in nature and find geometric shapes o unideal forms of shapes cezanne, chateau de medan, 1880 seurat vs. cezanne o close geographically and biographically o constructive brush stroke was the same o seurat’s mechanic way of painting was similar to cézanne’s systematic pattern cezanne, gulf of marseille seen from l’estaque, 1886 and the basket of apples, 189094 landscape and still life the landscape has very complex forms o breaks with the realist trend in modernism o naturalism is not at play in terms of light and color o doesn’t have the 3 planes of landseasky o the sea pushes to you, looks closer than the buildings o deep perspectival ambiguity as he rethinks the geometric forms the still life o void of the human body and figure \n o painting that finds solidity of things and go away from political themes o wedding between classicism and modernism as said by some art historians o space begins to fragment, the wine bottle is slightly oblique/not symmetrical cezanne, still life with plaster cast, 1894 instead of centered and stable, everything is in a volatile state it’s as if the ground rises up in the air geometry is the classicist law of form that brought order and thought, bit modernism wanted to cast this down o this is why cezanne being presented as a classicist presents problems cezanne, mount ste. victoire…, 1882 & pines and rocks. 1895 an attempt to portray the structure of the world didn’t go to landscape and still life as a retreat from political painting but rather he wanted to find answers and experience subjectivity is the world’s structure uniform? is it truly geometric as the classicists tried to make it appear? cezanne, apples. 187778 see the constructive stroke building the forms the very shape/evocation of the circle become a kind of poem on the eternal nature and nonsolidity of form denies that anything is truly in a geometric form shapes are made by what the eye perceives cezanne, idyll. 1870 & temptation of st. anthony, 1870 body was in crisis he is painted as a pensive person bodies will not conform cezanne, a modern olympia, 187374 & 186970 the body aligns itself with the body that we see and is more maternal cezanne, bather with outstretched arms, 1877 & the large bather, 1885 a space at the edge of the world the world is something to be looked at but also to be engaged with his feet get giant and are blood red the painting is more about how one feels about themselves and their perception of their body th tuesday, february 16 \n cezanne, bathers at rest, 187577 bodies in the world o not part of the classical myth of river gods in pastoral spaces o immersion of the body in the physical world proportion begins to shift and change phenomenological themes o one of the great enigma paintings of the bathers series o there isn’t much of a narrative cezanne, bathers, 1883 gaze at each other, model how we view the scene bodies seem incomprehensible cezanne, large bathers, 18941905 the repetition of this painting as a statement piece this is the first version o bodies are spread vertically o experiencing the world with eyes and flesh at the same time 19001905 o second attempt o more confusing, less readable o more focused on a figure that is entering the scene o desire and sexuality is embodied in the forms/shadows used in the work o categories are being called into question 18981906 o third attempt o embraced the unfinished aspect of painting, or he was unable to finish it o geometric shapes return, but are still imperfect o fusion of bodies, loss of separation end of the 19 century vision of the crisis in modernism art is now all about connection and becomes a kind of bodily tactic joseph maria olbrich, house of the vienna secession, 1898 institution of artists who went away from the academic embraces a kind of

modernism still life composition, lightened by the sun, short brush strokes o postimpressionism carmelina goes back to manet o realism/modernism matisse, “luxe, calm, et volupte”, 1904 modernist

myth that narcissus walking and seeing his reflection in the water and falling in love this central moment in the work is between the two women, who are sort of inverses in his early conception, it

nonpreemptive priority scheduling – nonpreemptive shortest remaining time (srt) – preemptive round robin (rr)– preemptive multiplelevel queues – more of a package, 1 queue per policy \n concurrency is a property of systems in which several computations are executing simultaneously, and potentially interacting with each other multiple processes within os multiple threads within a process there is no need for ‘rules’ if there is no shared resources (e.g. data) or resource/data is constant (readonly), otherwise we need synchronization… lack of process synchronization consequences • deadlock: “deadly embrace” • system comes to standstill • resolved via external intervention • starvation • infinite postponement of job 12 identify the four basic functions of device management monitoring of status of each device enforcing policies to determine which process will get a device and for how long. allocating the device deallocating the device dedicated devices (e.g. printer) shared devices (e.g. hard disk) virtual devices a virtual device is a combination of dedicated and shared devices. it is actually a dedicated device which is transformed to a shared device.

contains the following heart: the pump blood vessels/vascular system: interconnected tubes blood: fluid connective tissue, contains water, solutes, cells 12.1 – components of the circulatory system blood o formed elements: includes erythrocytes (rbc), leukocytes (wbc, fight infection and cancer), platelets (cell fragments, blood clotting) o 99% rbc carrying oxygen to tissues/carbon dioxide from tissues o plasma: liquid that formed elements are dissolved in o hematocrit: % rbc in blood; normally 4245% depending on gender (the rest is plasma) plasma o plasma proteins: most of plasma solutes by weight; exert osmotic pressure that favors absorption of extracellular fluid into capillaries albumins (most abundant, synthesized in liver), globulins, fibrinogen (functions in clotting) o serum: plasma with fibrinogen/other proteins in clotting removed o also contains nutrients, wastes, hormones, mineral electrolytes (na , k , etc.) blood cells are all descended from multipotent hematopoietic stem cells erythrocytes (rbc) o major function: gas transport (oxygen/carbon dioxide); contain large amounts of hemoglobin that reversibly bind to gases (1415.5 g/100 ml blood depending on gender) o biconcave disk and small size allow for large surface area to volume ratio for oxygen/carbon dioxide to rapidly diffuse to/from cell o produced in bone marrow; do not contain nuclei and organelles after differentiation into rbc (only some ribosomes present in young rbc or reticulocytes; mature/lose ribosomes in a day) o average life span: 120 days (1% or 250 billion cells are replaced each day) breaks down in spleen and liver (produces bilirubin as result) o erythropoiesis: rbc production; needs iron, folic acid, vitamin b 12 iron: needed for oxygen binding to hemoglobin in rbc \n o must be replaced by ingestion of ironcontaining foods as it is lost through sweat, feces, urine, menstrual blood o iron deficiency: leads to inadequate hemoglobin production o hemochromatosis: excess iron in body; leads to abnormal iron deposits, organ damage o homeostatic control is in intestinal epithelium (which absorbs iron from food) o ferritin: protein in body that stores iron (in liver) to buffer against deficiency o transferrin: irontransport plasma protein that collects iron released from old rbc and takes it to bone marrow for recycling into new rbc folic acid and vitamin b 12 o folic acid: found in leafy plants, yeast, liver; required for synthesis of thymine ( formation of dna and cell division) o folic acid deficiency fewer rbc produced o vitamin b : 12quired for action of folic acid; found only in animal products; contains cobalt o intrinsic factor needed in gi tract to absorb vitamin b ; lack of protein causes 12 pernicious anemia (vitamin b d12iciency rbc deficiency) hormones o erythropoietin: controls erythropoiesis; secreted into blood by connective tissue cells in kidneys acts on bone marrow to stimulate proliferation and differentiation secreted at a rate to produce rbc equal to loss of rbc (receives negative feedback from oxygen decreased oxygen to kidneys leads to increase erythropoietin production) testosterone can stimulate release ( why hematocrit is higher in men) anemia: decreased ability of blood to carry oxygen; due to one of following: o decrease in total number of rbc with normal quantity of hemoglobin o low concentration of hemoglobin per rbc o combination of both sicklecell disease: caused by single base mutation that leads to abnormal hemoglobin molecules that interact with each other to form fibrous polymers, causing sickle shape o blocks capillaries, leads to tissue damage/pain, destruction of rbc, anemia o heterozygotes only show symptoms when oxygen levels are unusually low and have resistance to malaria (blood infection spread by mosquitos) polycythemia: more rbc than normal (increased hematocrit) causes increased viscosity (more friction) and difficulty in moving blood through vessels, puts strain on heart o basis for “blood doping” leukocytes o major function: immune defenses o neutrophils: phagocytes in blood; most abundant; released during infections/inflammation; contains antibacterial protein defensing o eosinophils: blood/mucosal linings of gi/respiratory/urinary tracts; release toxic chemicals to kill parasites \n o monocytes: phagocytes in blood; develop into microphages in tissues/organs o macrophages: located to encounter invaders at skin/lining of respiratory and digestive tracts; can engulf viruses/bacteria o basophils: secretory cells that produce anticlotting factor and histamine o lymphocytes: t and b types; protect against specific viruses, bacteria, toxins, cancer cells by either directly killing or creating antibodies platelets o produced when megakaryocytes (large bone marrow cells) pinch off and enter circulation o functions in blood clotting regulation of blood cell production o only bones of chest/base of skull/spinal vertebrae/pelvis/limb bones produce blood cells after childhood o hematopoietic growth factors (hgfs) help proliferation and differentiation and inhibit apoptosis of new cells (ex: erythropoietin) many types produced by a variety of cells can be used to supplement deficiencies due to disease/damage circulation o bulk flow: rapid flow of blood through body produced by pressures created by pumping heart; all components of blood move together o branching allows all cells to be within 2 layers from blood vessels (specifically capillaries) for nutrient/metabolic waste product exchange (diffusion and mediated transport) o pulmonary circulation (right ventricle via the pulmonary trunk lungs (pulmonary arteries from trunk go to each lung) left atrium via pulmonary veins) o systemic circulation (left ventricle via the aorta body right atrium via the inferior vena cava and the superior vena cava) allows systemic tissues to receive oxygenated blood and independent variation in blood flow through different tissues as needed (figure 12.6) portal system: unique system used by liver and anterior pituitary glands for blood circulation o arteries arterioles capillaries: blood moving away from heart o capillaries venules veins: blood moving towards heart o microcirculation: arterioles, capillaries, venules o left side of the heart has high oxygen content, right side has low oxygen content 12.2 – pressure, flow, and resistance hemodynamics: collective term for all 3 factors o blood flow (f): always from regions of high to low pressure o hydrostatic pressure = pressure (p): force exerted by blood, generated by heart contractions (l/min; δp in mmhg) \n o resistance (r): how difficult it is for blood to flow between two points at any given pressure difference; can only be measured by f and δp greater viscosity, greater length of tube, or smaller radius = greater resistance r=1/r 4 o f=∆ p/r applies to flow through blood vessels and through heart chambers (resistance comes from valves in this case) ultimate function of circulatory system: ensure adequate blood flow through capillaries of various organs 12.3 – anatomy general structures o pericardium: protective fibrous sac surrounding heart o epicardium: fibrous layer in between pericardium and heart o myocardium: wall of the heart, cardiac muscle cells, lined on inside with endothelial cells (endothelium) o interventricular septum: separates right and left ventricles o atrioventricular valves (av valves): separates atrium and ventricle; one way blood flow atrium ventricle; open/close passively due to pressure differences (opens when atrial pressure is higher; closed with high ventricular pressure) tricuspid valve: right side bicuspid valve: left side (aka mitral valve) chordae tendineae: fibrous strands connected valves to papillary muscles to prevent valves from inverting (prolapse; can occur with injury and disease) o semilunar valves: pulmonary and aortic valves; open/close passively due to pressure differences to ensure blood moves in one direction through heart o there are no valves at entrances of superior and inferior venae cavae or pulmonary veins atrial contraction is enough to constrict backflow cardiac muscle o cardiac muscle cells in myocardium must be very resilient to come together and exert pressure on blood enclosed during a contraction only 1% of heart cells are replaced per year o entire heart (all cells) contract with each beat 3 billion contractions without rest in a lifetime o innervation by sympathetic (entire heart; release norepinephrine for beta adrenergic receptors) and parasympathetic (special cells in atria; release ach for muscarinic receptors) nerve fibers blood supply o no exchange of nutrients/metabolic waste occurs until blood passes through capillaries \n coronary arteries: arteries supplying myocardium (coronary blood flow) so cells can exchange nutrients/waste products 12.4 – heartbeat coordination efficient pumping of blood requires that the atria contract first, followed almost immediately by the ventricles o contraction is triggered by depolarization starting at the sinoatrial (sa) node in right atrium near entrance of superior vena cava; gap junctions allow this to happen quickly/excite entire heart o sa node acts as pacemaker for heart, determines heart rate sequence of excitation: o action potential in sa node depolarization spreads through atria atrioventricular (av) node at base of right atrium (connected to sa node via internodal pathways) through ventricles via bundle of his divides into left and right bundle branches that reach bottom of heart/walls of ventricles propagation of action potentials through av node is slow; atria will contract first and ventricles will contract when atria relax fiber bundles are composed of pukinje fibers: large diameter, rapid conduction, low resistance gap junctions myocardial cell action potentials + + o resting membrane is more permeable to k than na = negative resting membrane potential; depolarizing is due to influx of na + + + o na depolarization transient k repolarization depolarized plateau 2+ound 0 mv as k permeability declines and ca enters cell (ltype ca channels: long lasting) ca channels inactivate, k exits and causes repolarization o ventricular cells have a longer plateau than atrial cells nodal cell action potentials o pacemaker potential: gradual depolarization of the sa node (does not have a steady resting potential) that causes an action potential when threshold is eventually reached; contributed to by: + progressive reduction in k permeability unique set of channels that open at negative membrane potential values (f (funny)type channels for na influx) 2+ t(transient)type ca channels: opens briefly and gives important final depolarizing boost o sa node is brought to threshold faster than av node due to pacemaker currents automaticity: ability of sa node for spontaneous, rhythmic self excitation (inherent rate is about 100 depolarizations per minute) determines how quickly threshold is reached/action potential is generated o pacemaker mechanism creates action potential depolarizing due to ca (not 2+ na ) slow transmission of cardiac excitation to av node repolarization \n o ectopic pacemakers: when slower inherent pacemaker rates of other cells in conducting system create own rhythm (still driven to threshold by sa node) av conduction disorder: reduction/elimination of action potential transmission from sa node to av node due to disease/druginduced malfunction of av node; cause ectopic pacemakers to start very slow (2540 beats/min); causes ventricles to contract out of synch with atria fix av conduction disorders with artificial pacemaker electrocardiogram (ecg or ekg): tool for evaluating electrical events in the heart o recording electrodes detect currents running through fluids surrounding heart after action potentials in multiple cells (not direct record of changes in membrane potential across individual cells) o shows p wave (atrial depolarization), qrs complex (ventricular depolarization), t wave (ventricular repolarization) atrial repolarization takes place during qrs complex; cannot be seen o ecg leads record at different locations on limbs and chest for comparison o use to diagnose myocardial defects excitationcontra2+ion coupling o when ca influxes into cell through ltype channels and creates plateau, ryanodine receptors in sarcoplasmic reticulum are stimulated to release even more ca ca activates thin filaments muscle contraction ca returns to 2+ + 2+ sarcoplasmic reticulum via ca atpase pumps and na /ca countertransporters o more ca released = stronger contraction (i.e. during exercise) refractory period o summation of contractions is impossible due to long absolute refractory period unlike skeletal muscle; absolute refractory period lasts almost as long as contraction (250 msec) 12.5 – mechanical events of the cardiac cycle cardiac cycle: recurring cycle of atrial and ventricular contractions and relaxations o two major phases: systole (ventricular contraction and blood ejection) and diastole (ventricular relaxation and blood filling) systole can be broken down into isovolumetric ventricular contraction (contraction of ventricles while valves are closed, increases ventricular bp and develops tension, but muscle does not shorten) and ventricular ejection (pressure in ventricles exceeds pressure in aorta/pulmonary trunk, valves open, muscles shorten to push blood out) stroke volume (sv): volume of blood ejected from each ventricle during systole diastole can be broken down into isovolumetric ventricular relaxation (ventricles begin to relax while valves are closed), ventricular filling (av valves open to allow blood flow), and atrial contraction \n o ***see page 381 in textbook for a really indepth explanation of cardiac cycle (timing of pressure/electrical/mechanical changes) o at rest, 80% of ventricular filling occurs before atrial contraction (early diastole) ensures that filling is not seriously impaired during periods when the heart is beating rapidly and that diastole duration is reduced heart rates greater than 200 beats/min don’t leave enough time for filling and blood volume leaving heart decreases (bad) explains why conduction defects that affect atrial pumping abilities do not seriously impair ventricular filling (ex: during atrial fibrillation when atria fails to work as effective pumps) pulmonary circulation pressures o pressure changes in right ventricle and pulmonary arteries are same as left ventricle and aorta (pg. 381) typical pulmonary arterial systolic and diastolic pressures are 25 mmhg and 10 mmhg (lowpressure system, thinner walls) systemic arterial pressures are 120 mmhg and 80 mmhg both have same stroke volume heart sounds: result from cardiac contraction normally head through a stethoscope o “lub” = closure of av valves; onset of systole o “dup” = closer of pulmonary and aortic alves; onset of diastole o heart murmurs: other sounds heard from heart, usually indicative of disease or defects laminar flow: smooth blood flow (normal) may become turbulent with defect (detected with heart murmurs) stenosis: abnormally narrowed valve, causes turbulent blood flow insufficiency: blood flowing backward through a damaged, leaky valve septal defect: blood flowing between two atria or two ventricles through a small hole 12.6 – the cardiac output cardiac output (co): the volume of blood each ventricle pumps as a function of time, usually expressed in l/min o at steady state, co flowing through the systemic and pulmonary circuits is the same o co=hr×sv hr = heart rate (beats/min) sv = stroke volume (l/beat) o co of 5.0 l/min average for a resting, averagesized adult (nearly all of 5.5 l total blood volume is pumped around the circuit once each minute) o co will increase with strenuous exercise o hr and sv do not always change in the same direction (ex: sv can decrease with blood loss, but hr will increase) control of heart rate \n o in the absence of nervous/hormonal influences, the heart beats around 100 beats/min (inherent autonomous discharge rate of the sa node) at rest, influence of parasympathetic neurons results in resting hr of 70 75 beats/min o parasympathetic and sympathetic postganglionic neurons end on the sa node parasympathetic = hr decreases (reduces inward current, hyperpolarizes sa node cells by increasing permeability to k = slower depolarization) sympathetic = hr increases (increases ftype channel permeability = faster depolarization) also innervate other parts of conducting system (sympathetic = increases conduction velocity through entire cardiac system; parasympathetic = decreases rae of spread of excitation through atria and av node) o epinephrine (adrenal medulla) speeds heart up by acting on same beta adrenergic receptors as norepinephrine released by neurons o body temperature, plasma electrolyte concentrations, hormones, adenosine (myocardial cell metabolite) also affect cardiac nerves (figure 12.26) control of stroke volume (volume of blood ejected during each contraction) o a change in force during contraction can produce a change in stroke volume (will never fully empty ventricles) changes in enddiastolic volume (preload: volume in ventricles before contraction) changes in magnitude of sympathetic ns input to ventricles changes in afterload (ex: changes in arterial pressures that ventricles pump against) o frankstarling mechanism: all other factors being equal, the sv increases as the enddiastolic volume increases, seen in a ventricularfunction curve lengthtension relationship: enddiastolic volume is a major determinant of how stretched the ventricular sarcomeres are just before contraction must contract harder with greater stretch (more voume) complex mechanism: stretching cardiac muscle cells towards optimum length decreased space between thick and thin filaments more cross bridges can bind during a twitch increased sensitivity to troponin for binding ca and increased ca release from sarcoplasmic reticulum at any given hr, an increase in venous return = increase co (increase enddiastolic volume, increase sv) so blood does not accumulate in pulmonary circulation sympathetic regulation o distributed to entire myocardium o norepinephrine acts on betaadrenergic receptors to increase ventricular contractility (strength of contraction at any enddiastolic volume) along with increase hr \n any increased force of contraction and stroke volume resulting from sympathetic regulation is independent from any change in enddiastolic ventricular volume not related2+o franksterling mechanism (figure 12.28a) overall ca concentrations increases more quickly in cytosol, reaches greater excitation value, and returns to preexcited state more quickly faster, stronger contraction o ejection fraction: helps quantify contractility (directly related) ef=sv/edv edv = enddiastolic volume 50%75% under resting conditions in healthy heart o neglect parasympathetic effects on ventricular contractility afterload o the greater the load, the less contracting muscle fibers can shorten at a given contractility (figure 9.17 for review) an increased arterial pressure tends to reduce sv skip 12.7 12.8 – arteries thick walls containing large quantities of elastic tissue; “elastic tubes” large radii allow lowresistance conduction of blood to various organs as well as act as a “pressure reservoir” for maintaining blood flow through tissues during diastole arterial blood pressure o compliance: δv/δp; how easily a structure will stretch (greater compliance = greater ability to stretch) o a volume of blood equal to about 1/3 of sv leaves arteries during systole; rest of sv remains in arteries which increases pressure allows blood to continue to be driven into arterioles during diastole (figure 12.33) ventricular contraction always occurs before arterial pressure can reach zero (equal pressure of blood entering heart as leaving heart) o systolic pressure (sp): maximum arterial pressure reached during peak ventricular ejection o diastolic pressure (dp): minimum arterial pressure occurring just before ventricular ejection o usually measured as systolic/diastolic (ex: 120/80 mmhg) o pulse pressure: difference between systolic and diastolic pressure (ex: 40 mmhg) can be felt as pulse/throb in arteries in neck/wrist/etc. magnitude dependent on sv (direct relationship), speed of ejection of sv (direct), and arterial compliance (indirect; higher pressure with lower compliancy) o arteriosclerosis: stiffening of arterial walls, progress with age and leads to higher pulse pressure \n o mean arterial pressure (map): average pressure driving blood into tissues averaged over the entire cardiac cycle 1 map=dp+ (sp−dp) 3 compliance has no major influence on map (effects on systolic and diastolic pressure change but in opposite directions) measurement of systemic arterial pressure o sphygmomanometer: blood pressure cuff used to measure systolic and diastolic pressures (used in conjunction with a stethoscope) inflate until no sound is heard, release air slowly and record first number when sound is first heard again (systolic) and second number when sound disappears again (diastolic) korotkoff’s sounds: highvelocity turbulent blood flow that produces audible vibrations (with stethoscope) *** not the same as the lubdup sounds heard when valves close 12.9 – arterioles 2 major functions: in organs, responsible for determining the relative blood flows to given organs at any given mean arterial pressure and as a whole, determine mean arterial pressure o f=∆ p/r=map/resistance organ venous pressure is ignored (close to zero); map is constant throughout body o differences in flow are determined by differences in the resistance to flow offered by each tube wide tubes = les resistance = greater flows if radius of each tube is independently altered, blood flow through each is independently altered (smaller radius = less flow) large main arteries serve as pressure reservoir contain smooth muscle that can relax (vasodilation, increased radius) or contract (vasoconstriction, decreased radius) o pattern of bloodflow distribution depends upon degree of arteriolar smooth muscle contraction within each organ/tissue intrinsic tone: spontaneous contractile activity of arteriolar smooth muscle; sets baseline level of contraction that can be increased/decreased by external signals o increase in contractile force above it causes vasoconstriction o decrease in contractile force causes vasodilation o controlled by local controls and extrinsic (reflex) controls local controls: mechanisms independent of nerves/hormones that organs/tissues use to alter their own arteriolar resistances (selfregulate blood flow) o active hyperemia: manifestation of increased blood flow during increased metabolic activity; direct result of arteriolar dilation \n metabolic activity decreased oxygen (used in atp production), increased co ,2h ions (lactic acid), adenosine (atp byproduct), k ions (action potential repolarization), eicosanoids (phospholipid byproduct), bradykinin (peptide generated from protein kininogen generated from enzyme kallikrein secreted from gland cells) and nitric oxide arteriolar dilation most highly developed in skeletal/cardiac muscle and glands extrinsic controls: reflex mechanisms serves wholebody needs (ex: regulating arterial blood pressure; redistributing blood flow for specific function such as heat loss) o sympathetic neurons innervate most arterioles release norepinephrine to bind to alphaadrenergic receptors vasoconstriction (vasodilation via reducing presence of hormone) *** betaadrenergic receptors in heart, alphaadrenergic in arterioles allows for antagonists to block actions of norepinephrine in certain places reflex serves wholebody needs (ex: regulating arterial blood pressure; redistribute o parasympathetic neurons do not have important innervations in arterioles o noncholinergic, nonadrenergic, autonomic neurons release neither ach or norepinephrine release vasodilator substances particularly nitric oxide; contributes to control of gi system blood vessels innervate arterioles in penis/clitoris to mediate erection (sildenafil (viagra) and tadalafil (cialis) work by enhancing nitric oxide pathway to facilitate vasodilation) o hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine can bind to alphaadrenergic receptors on arteriolar smooth muscle and cause vasoconstriction can also bind to beta 2adrenergic receptors and relax muscle (less common than alpha in most vascular beds no effect; arterioles in skeletal muscle are important exception) angiotensin ii: constricts most arterioles vasopressin: released by posterior pituitary in response to decreased blood pressure + atrial natriuretic peptide: vasodilator by regulating na balance and blood volume; overall physiological importance unknown endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle o can be acted on by substances/mechanical stimuli to secrete several paracrine agents that diffuse to the adjacent vascular smooth muscle to induce relaxation/constriction o nitric oxide: important paracrine vasodilator (aka edrf) released continuously in significant amounts by endothelial cells in arterioles (maintains basal level vasodilation) \n responds quickly to large number of chemical mediators involved in reflex/local control o prostacyclin (prostaglandin i [pg2 ]): 2icosanoid, vasodilator; is not secreted until needed o endothelin1 (et1): vasoconstrictor released by endothelial cells in response to mechanical/chemical stimuli can function as a hormone if high enough concentrations in blood are reached for widespread arteriolar vasoconstriction arteriolar control in specific organs o figure 12.39 – factors that determine arteriolar radius o table 12.7 – importance of local and reflex controls in specific organs 12.10 – capillaries approximately 5% of blood is moving through capillaries at any time, allowing exchange of nutrients, metabolic end products, and cell secretions o some exchange also occurs in venules permeate every tissue in body except cornea; cells are no more than a few cells away from the nearest capillary o allows for highly efficient diffusion/exchange has essential role in tissue function leads to questions about angiogenesis (capillary growth and development) and what stimulates it in injury/healing/cancer o known that vascular endothelial cells initiate new capillary networks through stimulation by angiogenic factors (cancer cells also secrete these) angiostatin: naturallyoccurring peptide involved in inhibition of blood vessel growth can be used to reduce size of tumors in mice anatomy of capillary network o thinwalled tube of endothelial cells only one layer thick o no surrounding smooth muscle or elastic tissue o in some organs, they have a second set of cells that surround basement membrane to affect diffusion ability of substances (i.e. in brain) o intercellular clefts: waterfilled spaces in between flat cells of endothelial wall o fusedvesicle channels: form when endocytotic and exocytotic vesicles fuse o vasodilation/vasoconstriction of other vessels (arterioles) affects blood flow through capillaries blood sometimes enters through metarterioles that connect arterioles to venules moves though precapillary sphincter into capillary (can close off capillary completely if needed; open when tissue is active) diffusion across the capillary wall: exchanges of nutrients and metabolic end products o blood flow is slow to maximize exchange time o substance movement between interstitial fluid and plasma relies on diffusion, vesicle transport, and bulk flow (sometimes mediated transport too) in all capillaries (except brain), diffusion is only important means of net nutrient/oxygen/waste movement \n o lipidsoluble substances (oxygen and co ) easi2y diffuse while ions/polar molecules need to pass through waterfilled channels in endothelium waterfilled channels allows rate of ion/polar molecule movement to be high (not as high as lipid rates) intercellular clefts and fused vesicles only small amounts of protein can diffuse (usually need vesicular transport) o “leakiness” of capillaries differs between organs due to waterfilled channels one extreme: tight capillaries (brain) with no intercellular clefts, only tight junctions need carriermediated transport through bloodbrain barrier other extreme: large intercellular clefts (liver) that allow even proteins to move easily o transcapillary diffusion gradients occur as a result of cellular utilization of substance (established by local metabolic rate: increased metabolism leads to increased need for glucose/oxygen and increased production of co ) 2 glucose: continuously transported from interstitial to cells by carrier mediated transport mechanisms oxygen: moves in same direction as glucose (into cells) by diffusion carbon dioxide: continuously produced by cells and diffuses from cells to interstitial fluid (ultimately diffusing into capillary) active hyperemia and increased cellular utilization of materials both lead to increasing diffusion gradients increasing rate of diffusion bulk flow across the capillary wall: distribution of extracellular fluid o bulk flow of proteinfree plasma to distribute the extracellular fluid volume (plasma and interstitial fluid) o capillary walls are highly permeable to water and all plasma solutes except proteins proteinfree plasma moves by bulk flow when hydrostatic pressure difference exists (capillary blood pressure vs. interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure) filtration capillary blood pressure is usually higher hydrostatic pressure difference exists to filter proteinfree plasma out of capillaries into interstitial fluid (protein stays in capillaries) o osmotic flow of water brings solutes with it to penetrate membranes (to balance nonpenetrating solute concentrations); high to low concentration o effects of solutes crystalloids: lowmw solutes present in large quantities in plasma; can easily penetrate capillary pores ( concentrations in plasma/interstitial fluid are the same); includes na , cl, and k + colloids: plasma proteins that cannot move though capillary pores and have low concentrations in interstitial fluid water concentration is slightly lower in plasma than interstitium, creating osmotic gradient from interstitium to capillary o starling forces: four factors that determine net filtration pressure nfp=p +π cp −if if c \n capillary hydrostatic pressure, osmotic force due to interstitial fluid protein concentration, interstitial hydrostatic pressure, osmotic force due to plasma protein concentration (respectively) + = favors movement out of capillary; – = favors movement into capillary *** usually can ignore p ifvirtually 0 mmhg) if net outward pressure exceeds inward pressure, bulk filtration of fluid will occur (leaving proteins behind in capillaries as fluid leaves) can be applied to pulmonary circulation (starling forces favor filtration slightly more in lungs than other tissues) o regional differences in capillary pressure capillary hydrostatic pressures vary in different regions of the body and are strongly influenced by laying down/standing/sitting capillary hydrostatic pressures are also subject to physiological regulation mostly by changes in resistance of arterioles in that region dilating arterioles = increased capillary hydrostatic pressure (less pressure is lost in overcoming resistance between arteries and capillaries) favors movement of fluid out of capillary/increased filtration edema: abnormal accumulation of fluid in interstitial spaces (due to imbalance in starling’s forces) o can be caused by heart failure (increased venous pressure reduces blood flow out of capillaries excess filtration and accumulation of interstitial fluid) o can occur in systemic or pulmonary tissues o injury ( release of histamines/etc.) can cause dilated arterioles increase in capillary pressure and filtration increased size of intercellular clefts/ability of plasma proteins to escape from bloodstream increase in protein osmotic force in interstitial fluid can increase filtration/edema o can be caused by abnormal decrease in protein plasma concentration (water does not need to remain in capillaries to balance concentration leaves capillary) caused by liver disease (decreased protein production) or kidney disease (protein loss in urine) or kwashiorkor (protein malnutrition) 12.11 – veins capillaries venules veins last set of tubes that blood flows through on way back to heart o pressure difference between peripheral veins (1015 mmhg) and right atrium (close to 0 mmhg) drives venous return in systemic circulation adequate pressure due to low resistance to flow from veins (large diameters) major functions: act as lowresistance conduits for blood flow from tissues to heart and reflexively alter diameters in response to changes in blood volume to maintain venous return pressure \n o peripheral veins in arms/legs contain oneway valves that ensure blood moves towards heart o rate of venous return = major determinant of enddiastolic ventricular volume ( sv) determinants of venous pressure o volume of fluid in tube o compliance of walls o veins can accommodate large volumes of blood with relatively small increase in internal pressure 60% of total blood volume is in systemic veins, but pressure is only 10 mmhg (compared to 15% of blood in systemic arteries at 100 mmhg) o walls contain smooth muscle innervated with sympathetic neurons (norepinephrine release muscle contraction, increase pressure) drives more blood into right side of heart can also respond to hormonal/paracrine vasodilators and vasoconstrictors o skeletal muscle pump: increases local venous pressure of veins running through muscles during contraction; forces more blood to heart o respiratory pump: diaphragm descends during inhalation increase in abdominal pressure increase in intraabdominal vein pressure; also results in decrease in pressure in intrathoracic veins/right atrium; bigger pressure difference forces more blood to heart any changes in venous return almost immediately causes equivalent changes in cardiac output through frankstarling mechanisms ( they are the same except for transient differences) skip 12.12 12.13 – baroreceptor reflexes arterial baroreceptors o respond to changes in pressure o found where left and right common carotid arteries divide into two smaller arteries that supply the head with blood (carotid sinus) and in the arch of the aorta (aortic arch baroreceptor) afferent neurons travel from these points to the brainstem and provide input to the neurons of cardiovascular control centers o at a particular steady pressure (ex: 100 mmhg), there is a certain rate of action potential discharge from neurons, which increases/decreases with increased/decreased pressure medullary cardiovascular center o located in the medulla oblongata o receive input from the various baroreceptors throughout the body uses it to determine the action potential frequency sent back to the vagus (parasympathetic) neurons in the heart/sympathetic neurons in the heart/arterioles/veins \n increased rate of discharge = decreased sympathetic activity and increased parasympathetic activity angiotensin ii and vasopressin are also altered (decreased pressure = increased secretion = arteriole constriction) arterial baroreceptor reflex operation o ex) decreased arterial pressure (due to hemorrhage) = decreased rate of firing leads to increased heart rate (due to increased sympathetic activity and decreased parasympathetic activity) increased ventricular contractility arteriolar constriction increased venous constriction net result: increased cardiac output, increased total peripheral resistance, and bp returns to normal o functions primarily as a shortterm regulator of arterial bp will adapt to prolonged change in bp (new set point) other baroreceptors contribute to a feedforward component of arterial pressure control 12.14 – blood volume and longterm regulation of arterial pressure baroreceptors cannot set longterm arterial pressure as they will adapt to any prolonged change blood volume controls longterm regulation blood volume influences venous pressure/return, enddiastolic/stroke volumes, and cardiac output o all related, thus increased blood volume increases arterial pressure (and increased arterial pressure decreases blood volume) negative feedback loops blood volume can only stabilize longterm arterial pressure if blood volume itself is stabilized o urinary and circulatory systems both interact to help maintain this 12.15 – other cardiovascular reflexes and responses causes of increased blood pressure: o decreased arterial oxygen concentration o increased arterial carbon dioxide concentration o decreased blood flow to brain o pain originating in the skin (from viscera/joints decrease in bp) other physiological states (eating, sexual activity, sleeping) affect bp mood influences bp (lower when happy) changes triggered by higher brain centers to medullary cardiovascular center cushing’s phenomenon: increased intracranial pressure causes a dramatic increase in mean arterial pressure o cranium cannot expand to accumulate pressure pressure is directed inwards on brain, which decreases blood flow to all parts of brain accumulation of waste/not enough oxygen o fluid must be removed to fix \n 12.16 – hemorrhage and other causes of hypertension hypotension: low blood pressure, regardless of cause o consequences: reduced blood flow to brain/muscles hemorrhage: type of hypotension caused by significant deceased blood volume o immediate response: arterial baroreceptor reflex cannot restore all the way back to normal: directly affected factors (stroke volume, cardiac output, arterial pressure) remain below normal; values not directly affected (affected only by reflex; heart rate, total peripheral resistance) are higher than normal increased peripheral resistance vasoconstriction (less blood flow) why skin can become pale/cold o interstitial fluid will move into capillaries due to decreased hydrostatic pressure autotransfusion; can restore blood volume to normal in 1224 hours after moderate hemorrhage o both responses can restore up to 30% blood volume lost blood volume must actually be restored by increased fluid ingestion/minimized water loss (initiated by increased thirst/reduction in water and salt lost in urine) mediated by hormones rbc must be recreated to replenish blood severe sweating, burns, diarrhea, and vomiting can also cause hypotension o depletes body of water and essential ions cardiac contractility can cause hypotension (ex: during a heart attack) strong emotion can cause hypotension (and sometimes fainting) vasovagal syncope o higher brain centers inhibit sympathetic activity to circulatory system/enhance parasympathetic activity ( decreased blood flow to brain & arterial pressure) shock: any situation in which a decrease in blood flow to the organs and tissues damages them o hypovolemic shock: caused by decrease in blood volume secondary to hemorrhage or loss of fluid other than blood o lowresistance shock: due to a decrease in total peripheral resistance secondary to excessive release of vasodilators (allergy/infection) o cardiogenic shock: due to extreme decrease in cardiac output from any variety of factors (ex: during heart attack) o deterioration of the heart leads to decreased cardiac output more shock; which can become irreversible skip 12.1712.18 12.19 – hypertension hypertension: chronically increased systemic arterial pressure (above 140/90 mmhg) o 26% of adults worldwide affected; 34% u.s. citizens affected \n o left ventricle is chronically pumping against an increased arterial pressure develops muscle mass: left ventricular hypertrophy initially helps maintain heart function;

regulatory change ○ populist era (late 1800s) ○ progressive era and the new deal ○ social regulation (began in the 1960s) ○ economic deregulation (began in the 1970s) the constitutional basis for regulation ● the u.s. constitution not only provides the authority for regulation \n ○ it also limits its application ● many legal principles of regulation in the united states have come from court decisions that draw on the common law ● the fifth and fourteenth amendments place limits on regulation principal federal regulatory agencies and commissions delegation, rulemaking, due process, and discretion ● article i, section 1 of the constitution grants congress the sole power to enact laws ● congress enacted the administrative procedure act (apa) of 1946 to: ○ provide for public notice and comment prior to agency action ■ agencies adopt their own rulemaking procedures in a manner consistent with the apa ● the apa grants parties right to sue for judicial review of an agency action ○ a basis for that review is failure to follow the procedures required for an action ■ under the framework of procedural due process ● the apa requires: ○ agency actions not be “arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law” ● the courts review regulatory actions for whether they are arbitrary or capricious \n influences on regulatory agencies \n market imperfections •natural monopoly •externalities •public goods •asymmetric information government imperfections ● market imperfections warrant government regulation ○ only a necessary condition for regulation to improve economic efficiency capture theory ● predicts that regulation initially will be found where there are market imperfections and over time will evolve to serve the interests of the regulated industry rentseeking theory ● regulation not established to address market imperfections ○ instead, it is established to benefit politically effective interests fairness ● regulation used to accomplish fairness goals ● can involve policies such as: ○ lifeline rates for telephone service for lowincome people ○ the provision of aid such as food stamps costofservice theory ● regulation in a number of industries has centered on costofservice pricing ● this costofservice regulatory system has been blamed for inducing high costs and slowing the introduction of new technology. chapter 11: financial markets and their regulation introduction \n ● the capital markets are an essential component of a capitalist economic system that allow individuals to ○ save their money in a broad array of financial instruments ○ transform those savings into funding for businesses, homebuying, and retirement the formal and informal banking systems ● depository institutions such as banks accept deposits and make loans ○ these institutions are required to maintain a fractional reserve requirement ■ allows the formal banking system to lend a multiple of the deposits held repurchase agreement “shadow banking” system ● operates outside the purview of regulators ○ provides much of the financing for banks, securities traders, and mortgage lenders ● securitization involves pooling contractual debt obligations and issuing new securities backed by those obligations ○ a component of the shadow banking system \n collateralized debt obligations credit default swap \n the federal reserve system ● established in 1913 ● serves as the central bank of the united states ● has broad responsibilities for managing the money supply ● has regulatory authority over national banks and state banks that participate in the federal reserve system securities regulation ● the first new deal legislation enacted was the securities act of 1933 ○ regulated the issuance of new securities ● in 1934, congress enacted the securities exchange act to: ○ extend regulation to stock exchanges and the trading of alreadyissued securities ● glasssteagall act of 1933 ○ forced banks to separate their commercial banking and investment banking businesses ○ later repealed by the grammleachbliley act of 1999 credit card regulation ● credit card (card accountability responsibility and disclosure) act of 2009 ○ increases the regulation of credit card issuers \n ● regulations intended to eliminate abuses can have effects on markets mortgage lending and subprime mortgages ● mortgage lending had been dominated by banks and savings and loans associations ● lenders held some of the mortgages they originated and sold the rest to: ○ governmentsponsored enterprises ○ federal national mortgage association (fannie mae) ○ federal home loan mortgage corporation (freddie mac) ● the federal housing administration (fha) provided financing for qualified borrowers ○ government policy supported expanding home ownership through government support of fannie mae, freddie mac, and the fha financial crisis inquiry commission ● principal conclusions of the majority: ○ it was avoidable ○ widespread failures in financial regulation and supervision ○ dramatic failures of corporate governance and risk management at many systemically important financial institutions ○ excessive borrowing, risky investments, and lack of transparency ○ inconsistent response of an ill prepared government ○ collapsing mortgagelending standards and the mortgage securitization pipeline ○ overthecounter derivatives contributed significantly ○ failures of the credit rating agencies were essential cogs in the wheel of financial destruction ● 10 essential causes identified by the dissenters: ○ credit bubble ○ housing bubble ○ nontraditional mortgages ○ credit ratings and securitization ○ financial institutions concentrated correlated risks ○ leverage and liquidity risk ○ risk of contagion ○ common shock (the fall in housing prices) ○ financial shock and panic ○ financial crisis causes economic crisis \n tarp, bailouts, and the stimulus ● the bush administration and congress created the troubled asset relief program (tarp) ○ administered by the department of the treasury ○ authorized with funding up to $700 billion to be used to shore up banks and stimulate the provision of credit to borrowers the doddfrank wall street reform and consumer protection act ● doddfrank act ○ provided for new regulations ○ strengthened enforcement ○ required new rule making by regulators ○ created a new regulatory agency the consumer financial protection bureau ○ restricted the pricing of credit card borrowings ○ increased the exposure of credit rating agencies to lawsuits ○ restricted securities trading by banks ○ required derivatives trades to go through clearinghouses ○ imposed new capital requirements on banks ○ did not address the roles of fannie mae and freddie mac financial stability oversight council ● established by the doddfrank act ● composed of the heads of 10 regulatory agencies with responsibility for: ○ monitoring the economy ○ responding to emergencies that threaten the stability of the financial system too big to fail ● the act: ○ authorized the government to seize and break up a firm whose collapse could result in substantial harm to the economy ○ required financial companies to develop “living wills” for closing down and provided for the orderly liquidation of failed companies \n the volcker rule ● included in the doddfrank act after heated debate ○ subsequently subject to extensive rulemaking activity to refine the restrictions ● allowed banks to trade on behalf of clients and to hedge their own risks derivatives and swaps ● to reduce risks and increase regulatory scrutiny: ○ the act gave the commodities and futures trading commission (cftc) regulatory authority over swaps and major swap market participants such as marketmakers securitization and excessive risks ● issuers of assetbacked securities were required to retain: ○ at least 5 percent of the risk unless the assets meet certain loan standards consumer protection ● complaints from consumers and consumer advocacy groups about financial products centered on: ○ abusive mortgages ○ high interest rates charged by payday lenders ○ financing practices of automobile dealers and student loan companies ● the doddfrank act created a consumer financial protection bureau (cfpb) ○ has authority over: ■ banks with assets over $10 billion ■ mortgage lenders ■ student loan companies ■ payday lenders compensation ● the doddfrank act directed the sec to address the compensation issue ● the sec: ○ promulgated “say on pay” rules requiring a nonbinding shareholder vote on executive compensation at least every 3 years ○ proposed rules requiring banks and financial services firms to: ■ report bonuses paid to individual employees ■ block bonuses that posed the risk of “material financial loss” for the firm \n credit ranging agencies ● provide information to investors about risks associated with securities ● government regulators have delegated to designated nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (nrsro) the assessment of risks associated with securities. global capital requirements regulation basel iii ● basel committee on banking supervision an organization of 27 nations that sets capital requirements for banks ○ requirements must be approved by the g20 nations ■ enacted into law by each nation chapter 12: environmental management and sustainability introduction ● public, government, and businesses recognize the importance of environmental protection and sustainability ● benefits include: ○ improved human health ○ a more vibrant natural environment ○ the preservation of ecosystems ○ a more sustainable relationship with the natural environment the environment and sustainability ● goals and action ● global climate change ● policy ● tradeoffs socially efficient control of externalities ● the control of externalities has taken the form of commandandcontrol regulation ● incentive approaches take into account the benefits and costs of attaining environmental objectives ○ achieves those objectives by aligning the social and private costs of pollution and its abatement \n the coase theorum ● pertains to market imperfections, including externalities and public goods ● focuses on the standard of social efficiency ● provide s a conceptual foundation for both regulation and the liability system \n transaction costs and the limits of the coase theorem ● the coase theorem implies that: ○ when bargaining between the parties to an externality is possible, social efficiency can be achieved capandtrade systems ● caps the total allowed emissions of a particular pollutant, issues permits (entitlements) for that amount, and allows the permits to be traded ○ also called tradable permits systems global climate change and emissions trading systems ● kyoto protocol ● emissions trading in the european union ● the regional greenhouse gas initiative (rggi) ● emissions trading within bp plc (british petroleum) kyoto protocol ● accomplishments under the kyoto protocol a subject of disagreement ○ developed countries have reduced their domestic emissions ■ research shows that this is due to increased imports displacing local production emissions trading in the european union ● the european union took the lead on multination emission ○ traded with the european trading system (ets) commencing in 2005 ● ets is a capandtrade system that covers 12,000 facilities in 15 eu member states ○ the eu goal was an 8 percent reduction by 2012 from a 1990 base emissions trading within bp plc (british petroleum) ● to address the global climate change issue: ○ in 1998 bp plc committed by 2010 to reduce its emissions of greenhouse gases (ghgs) by 10 percent from 1990 levels ● to achieve its goal, bp worked with environmental defense to develop an internal ghgs trading system for the company the regional greenhouse gas initiative ● formed in 2005 by 10 northeastern u.s. states \n ○ to operate a capandtrade system for reducing greenhouse gases emissions ○ auctioned 86 percent of the allowances generating $790 million through 2010 ● supported by companies that benefited from the funds generated by the auctions ○ other companies argued that it drove up costs and drove jobs away the environmental protection agency (epa) ● an independent agency located in the executive branch ● headed by an administrator appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate ● responsible for administering the major environmental acts enforcement ● the epa enforcement process requires: ○ filing of a notice of a complaint and a hearing before an administrative law judge standards setting and engineering control ● epa regulation has largely been command and control ○ uniform rules or standards are ordered and then enforced ● the epa sets emissions standards and air quality standards ● epa has increasingly used incentive approaches: ○ credits and offsets superfund ● administered by the epa ○ for the cleanup of existing toxic waste disposal sites ● epa attempts to identify the source of the dumping and force it to clean the site the nature of environmental politics ● environmental issues are complex because of: ○ scientific uncertainty about the consequences of pollution ○ incomplete information about the costs and benefits of environmental protection ○ disagreements about alternative approaches, such as liability versus regulation, to protection ○ differing perspectives about the protection of entitlements judicial politics ● politics of environmental protection often moves into judicial arenas ● environmental groups have succeeded in inserting citizen provisions in environmental statutes \n advocacy science ● much remains unknown about environmental hazards and their control ○ this scientific uncertainty is a source of contention in environmental politics ○ it provides an opportunity to use advocacy science as a component of a private politics strategy distributive politics ● environmental politics is motivated by: ○ distributive consequences of environmental policy ○ costs of environmental protection ○ benefits from the reduction in pollution and hazards private and public politics ● many environmental ngos active in public politics at the federal, state, and local levels ● environmental groups testify regularly in legislative and regulatory hearings ○ some demonstrate to attract media coverage to their side of the issue nimby and private politics ● nimby “not in mybackyard” ○ focuses on local environmental concerns, particularly as they involve possible risks to persons or property ○ directed toward: refuse disposal & toxic waste sites, chemical & oil plants, other facilities that may emit toxins ● energized by information provided by the federal government’s toxics release inventory (tri) ● the tri is a result of the “righttoknow” amendment to a 1985 superfund reauthorization bill voluntary collective environmental programs ● iso 14001 ● responsible care program ● criticisms of voluntary programs ○ called “greenwash” by environmental groups ○ allege that these programs sound good to the public ○ fail to live up to their promises chapter 13: the investor’s perspective: renewable energy introduction \n ● managing effectively in the nonmarket environment is essential for firms when: ○ a company is at a major strategic crossroad ○ there are market or nonmarket challenges ● strategy implementation is essential on an ongoing basis at an operational level to: ○ achieve performance goals ○ address challenges ○ seize opportunities investment decisions ● in making their decisions, investors assess: ○ opportunities and risks associated with firms ○ quality of their management ● the assessment of managerial quality depends on: ○ a firm’s leadership and market strategy ○ a firm's nonmarket strategy ○ the ability of management to anticipate and deal effectively with the emergence and development of nonmarket issues the environment of wind and solar power ● longterm opportunities for wind and solar power were enormous ○ supply costs were falling ○ demand for renewable power was expected to continue to grow ○ demand growth had been led by europe as a result of generous subsidies ■ as the subsidies were reduced, growth slowed ○ at the same time demand grew in china and the united states ■ more countries began to support wind and solar power ○ demand was expected to grow substantially in china and developing nations ● growth hinged on government support and the cost of other energy sources markets and government involvement ● retail electricity prices varied greatly across the states ○ both solar and wind power were quite variable ■ solar power output depended on the weather ■ wind power was most attractive in locations where the wind blows hard and steadily ○ solar/wind power faced nonmarket opposition because of: ■ the cost of subsidization ■ environmental nimby market signal ● market for solar panels in europe and the united states slowed to a crawl in 2010 \n ○ market in china grew at a rapid pace economic rationale for subsidization ● economic rationales for the subsidization of renewable power: ○ based on positive externalities ■ subsidization provides environmental improvements by displacing carbonbased power generated from coal or natural gas ■ subsidization provides security benefits to the extent that it reduced the dependence on imported fuels ○ intended to achieve cost efficiencies and increased output ■ subsidies could enable producers to realize economies of scale that would reduce costs and allow output to expand political rationale for subsidization ● positive externalities for the environment and security benefitted constituents ● subsidization generated pork: ○ recipients of the subsidies and their suppliers earned rents from the economic activity stimulated by the subsidization the costs of subsidization ● direct costs of subsidies are the corresponding government budget expenditures and liabilities ○ examples grants and loan guaranties solyndra inc ● in 2008 solyndra and solar power, inc., a leading installer of solar panels, agreed to a supply arrangement for $325 million of solar panels over the 2008–2012 period ● market risks: prices and costs ● non market risks *solar power opportunities and risks—market and nonmarket factors \n

adolescence is identity work identity triangle (again): need to establish a working model of ourselves in order to be an adult occupation o career decision making process—career decision making is a drawn out process that is based on information and experiences interacting with one another. interaction between education, collecting information, and having experiences. experience is a big part of career decision making. you can’t decide one day on the spot, you need the experience and exposure to information on different careers. career decision making takes time. only 20% of college graduates are working in the fields related to their major 10 years after graduating. this suggests that we should encourage people to be educated and have experiences and then make decisions about their career path instead putting so much emphasis on career decision in college. lifestyle values psychosocial crisis: identity versus identity confusion as you move into your 20’s, you work on a more mature identity. identity confusion: to launch yourself into adulthood, you have to have a fairly mature identity. the absence of that identity manifests in confusion about who you are. manifestations of

experience to make a decision of what career they want. they feel locked in and become bitter and angry. central process: role experimentation \n hdfs 1070 lecture notes 3/25, page 2 in order to have an identity, you need to experiment with different identities and spend time collecting information. experimentation involves experiencing yourself in different situations, environments, doing things with different people and different places. according to erikson, in order for this experimentation to take place, you should have a psychosocial moratorium. for youth, there should be a moratorium period on psychosocial development. instead of pressuring people more to work on these anxiety provoking issues, they should back off and pressure less and provide youth with a period of time where they are free to experiment without excessive pressures and anxieties to make decisions. it should be a period of time when you are given permission to play and experiment. ex. letting your child take a year off from college to volunteer in a different country. ex. going abroad or taking a gap year. individuation (from both peers and family) adolescence must establish a sense of individuation from both their peers and families. young people are moving towards a place where they act with greater authority over their lives, where they act with a greater sense of autonomy, and are able to self regulate. reflected in young people becoming increasingly better at taking responsibility for their life, taking responsibility for their care, and acting in an age appropriate autonomous way. reducing your dependence on parents and peers. moving towards becoming financially less dependent on others. ex. if parents have financial control on you, you feel less individuation because they have that power over you with decision making for example. indicators of individuation –balancing autonomy and connection in ageappropriate ways reworking patterns of “dependencies” financial dependencies: parents pay for many things, which makes them have more power over their adolescent child functional dependencies: ability to manage your day to day care. manage your bills, take car of your car, do things instead of having parents to it for you. emotional dependencies: when we are, we give other people power over us because we attribute too much significance to their approval or disapproval of us. the power we give to other people with their approval or disapproval of us. as you grow older, this should be decreased. it is critical for adolescence as they move into their 20s to become more and more individuated. be less functionally, financially, and emotionally dependent on others. individuation can be conceived of as both a requirement for identity development and an outcome of identity development! . individuation from peers as a foundation for “individual identity.” o as you individuate from your peers, you are way more likely to experiment and act on what is important you you rather than succumb to peer pressure \n hdfs 1070 lecture notes 3/25, page 3 individuation from family as a foundation for “individual identity.” o as you individuate from your parents, their approval and disapproval matters less and they have less control over you in that aspect o they exercise less control over your life individual identity as a foundation for individuation from peers individual identity as a foundation for individuation from family family tasks for the family with adolescents system needs to provide “support” for identity and individuation reworking boundaries: the primary task for a family with adolescents is the reworking of boundaries. parents have to have less involvement with your life and provide greater autonomy and independence. renegotiating patterns of authority: a subtask. have to trust that their child will make their own decisions. when children are young, it is reasonable for parents to expect they will do what they are told. as children merge and go towards adulthood, parents don’t really have a right to tell them what to do. they can make suggestions, but they have to give up exercising excessive authority and trust they will take control over their own life. note on parent/adolescent conflict as related to the reworking of boundaries the job of adolescence is to push for autonomy. parents say “give me proof that you can be trusted to act with high autonomy and i will give you control over your life.” this creates conflict. the conflict isn’t because they have different values, it is because one is pushing for autonomy and one is pushing for evidence of autonomy. this conflict is necessary to rework that balance. individuation enhancing: give them the opportunity to earn authority over their lives and experience themselves as autonomous. note on parent/ adolescent conflict as related to the renegotiation of patterns of authority power legitimacy continuum – distinctions between authority and oppression: conflict in the adolescence years revolve around whether kids accept the parents’ authority over them as legitimate. parents have to be authorities and also constantly provide opportunities for the kids to experience individuation. if kids feel oppressed, they will not view the parent as legitimate. o legitimate expressions of parental power youth view parents as having this legitimate authority \n hdfs 1070 lecture notes 3/25, page 4 leads to the experience of intimacy: the key to intimacy is all around authority and autonomy dynamic. it is based around kids experiencing the parents’ control over them as being legitimate. o nonlegitimate expressions of parental power youth feel unfairly dominated and control leads to an escalation of conflict erodes foundation of intimacy sabatelli, ronald. “later adolescence and family tasks.” hdfs 1070. university of connecticut, storrs. 25 march 2016. lecture. \n hdfs 1070 lecture notes 3/25, page 5 what is necessary for parents to be willing to renegotiate boundaries and patterns of authority? it is necessary for youth to push for greater autonomy and authority parents require “evidence” of responsibility the authorityresponsibility dance! note on the lies that adolescents tell! research shows that all adolescents lie. they lie because it is a way of bypassing the conflict that occurs around the dynamic between authority and responsibility. this is a way of an adolescent to claim authority without going through the conflict. why do some parents need to be “pushed” to rework boundaries and patterns of authority? what do they have to be anxious about? parents don’t give up authority easily because they are anxious about giving their children control and authority. when you give adolescents authority, there is a lot to be concerned about such as drunk driving. when they go off to college, the parents have no way of knowing if you are going to class and have no access to your grades unless you share them. the task for parents is to demonstrate individuation enhancing patterns: no different than the toddler years patters. genuine concern individuation enhancing patterns: parents need remain present but not intrusive in an age appropriate way. don’t tell you what you should do or force you to do things. empathically responsive to the tensions experienced by youth (requires decentering and the ability to selfsooth). important for parents to be empathically responsive to the tensions of their age appropriate stress. parents need to monitor their use of “should”. “should” creates tension between the parent and child. individuation inhibiting patterns: more anxiety than less anxiety expelling: parents are telling you you are on your own. communicates that you don’t matter and have no support. amplifies pressure to find out identity issues. binding: parents don’t let go. the child never experiences competency and autonomy. prevent them from developing skills and resources for being autonomous. delegating: the parents encourage their kids to follow a certain path to enhance the parent’s identity. the parents are vicariously living through and deriving an identity from the kid’s emerging identity. this robs kids of the opportunity of exploration and \n hdfs 1070 lecture notes 3/25, page 6 experience. you see this more where kids early on are identified as being special in some ways; when the kid has a gift for the violin and the parents keep telling him or her they have to do this as a career. the kid is not given an opportunity to explore and experience other things. \n 3/23/16 lecture notes, page 1 adolescence 3/23/16 lecture notes adolescence as a stage in life built upon epigenetic assumptions what happens in the earlier stages of development serves as a foundation for development and each stage has very specific stage tasks that serve as a foundation for further development. define adolescence transitional stage after childhood and before adulthood. it is critical for individuals to be able to form a coherent identity because that coherent identity serves as a platform for the early adult years. individuals need a comfortable identity to succeed as a young adult and on. early versus later adolescence early (13–18) later (19–25 & rising) why two stages instead of one? because adolescence now takes longer for people, which elongates the full entry into adult status why is it taking longer? requirements for adulthood are more complex o have to have more job skills, more maturity, have to make more money, have to live more independently than ever before economic factors (interact with one another): o inflation: assimilate those pressures into your daily life. pay more for food than ever before, pay more for fuel, housing, medical costs. everything is at a much higher rate. education has risen. this puts people in a downward economic spiral. o economic downward mobility: we are the first cohort to experience this. the cohorts before us experienced upward mobility (meaning you would exceed your parents’ standard of living). likelihood of achieving your parents’ standard of living and succeeding your parents’ standard of living is low today. pressures in adolescence – revolve around identity development identity: a work in process which revolves around 3 different factors: the identity triangle: continuous tension throughout the adolescence years. continuously required to take a stand for these values. this pressure comes from everywhere and everyone. life style \n 3/23/16 lecture notes, page 2 occupation ideology identity development process in early adolescence the tensions revolve more around lifestyle and ideology than around occupation crisis becomes, then, one of: group identities vs alienation you continuously deal with everyone but more so deal with your parents pressuring you to figure out those 3 factors (lifestyle, occupation, ideology). you are also pressured to go along with peers. we become less egocentric in our adolescence years. cognitive egocentrism: we become more capable of understanding other people’s points of view. becoming more capable of understanding the norms for conformity—when a young child thinks about his life in an egocentric way (noncognitive egocentric), he or she doesn’t reflect about what other people think about him or her and is unaware of conformity. as they become less egocentric, they become more aware of conformity pressures, social expectations and demands, which makes them more vulnerable to societal pressures and peer pressure. peer pressure (group identities vs. alienation): we define ourselves by the groups we are connected to and also define ourselves to the groups we are alienated from. there is a dynamic tension between these 2 forces which helps us develop our lifestyle, values, and career. ex. tension between a group of students who strive to do their best in school and students who blow all their work off and skip class. these early working models provide a foundation for a more mature working model that will eventually find our identity. o group identities: pressure to develop your identities within a group. align ourselves with certain groups based on their values and ideologies. exists on a continuum: the degree by which you can achieve your goals in a certain peer group. the peer groups that we fit into and get along with are people who reduce our anxiety. (who we are) o alienation: powerful component of the identity development process. it is a negative form of involvement with groups. don’t subscribe to the norms, goals, expectations of that group. in opposition to what the group stands for. makes a stand about who we are. alienated from the groups that make us most anxious. (who we are not) central process of early adolescence: peer pressure peer pressure compels us to consider how and to what degree we are connected to or alienated from various social systems \n 3/23/16 lecture notes, page 3 alienation is reflected in the degree to which one feels that one can achieve their goals by participation in various social systems. exists on a continuum involves reactions that we have to various social systems \n 3/23/16 lecture notes, page 4 attitudinal manifestations of degrees of alienation: normlessness: don’t subscribe to their norms, they have no meaning for us meaninglessness: what provides them with a sense of meaningness has no meaning to us powerlessness social isolation purposelessness: alienation becomes a problem if you wind up with no group to fit into. ultimately those who are completely alienated from the peer world, their families, their teachers: they feel a profound sense of normlessness, meaninglessness, powerlessness, and isolation. reactive systems: one may be more or less alienated from these groups. the systems that you connect with are just as important because they provide you with information that you use to form your identity which you use as a platform to serve for your adult years. a red flag comes up when kids are alienated from multiple system and the only group that they wind up fitting with is equally alienated from others. when you run into kids in early adolescence years like this, they are scary because they feel no purpose or meaning. they endorse a point of view where the values of society are insignificant. they also might have sociopathic tendencies. types of reactive systems are: family school systems/teachers peers community/neighborhoods note – for each individual there could be other systems of influence that he or she reacts to o church o employers early identity, thus is grounded in: we define ourselves through our positive connections to others we define ourselves in reaction to the systems we feel alienated from these define our values, lifestyle choices, help to shape our career objectives \n 3/23/16 lecture notes, page 5 kids who are really at risk are the ones who are alienated from multiple systems. the more you are alienated from different systems, the more isolated and alone you are. this is not a comfortable place for young people, so alienated children find others that are just as equally alienated. their group belief becomes: everyone is a jerk, stupid, and there is no meaning in what other people value. kids like this become more reactive and are more likely to go down the destructive path and organize their identity to be antisocial, non subscribing to morality and ethics, and more likely to form a collective distain to others. this could lead to maladaptive and deconstructive ways. these behaviors are reflective of their formed identity. “hypothesis: the more one is alienated from family, school, and neighborhood systems (who are extensions of parental authority) the more the connections to peers become important. hypothesis: the more one is alienated from family, school, and neighborhood systems, the more likely one will find a group to connect with that is also alienated from these systems. hypothesis: peer groups that share high degrees of collective alienation from family, school and neighborhood systems are likely, also, to be alienated from other peer systems. hypothesis: the more identity is based on reactive alienation from family, school, neighborhood and peer systems, the greater the likelihood that one is likely to engage in maladaptive modes of adaptation – the more likely, in other words, one’s identity is likely to lead them to act in maladaptive ways.” (sabatelli) modes of adaptation to alienation: compelling question here is what does a person do when he or she is negatively involved with a broad array of social systems – to put it another way, what does a person do when he or she believes that these broader systems serve as an obstacle to personal development? when we are alienated there are different ways to adapt to alienation: pay attention to the definitions, not the words! rebellion – what they do is they attempt to change the systems to find a better fit between them and those they are alienated from. they try to change the goals of others in groups they are alienated from in order to have a better fit. ex. if an outcast because don’t do drugs (think they are evil) and everyone else does, go out and preach to others about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. alienation makes them anxious and they respond in a way to get others to conform to their view. self estrangement –you accept the alienation as a defining feature of yourself, become okay with not fitting in. it takes a long time for \n 3/23/16 lecture notes, page 6 people to become comfortable with their alienation because it is painful and uncomfortable. not critical or angry at others, just on own path and know that he or she doesn’t fit well with other groups. conformity – you change yourself to better fit with the broader system. even though its not really you, you do it to fit in. these pressures overcome/overwhelm your own values. oftentimes an individual will experience helplessness because they can’t be themselves. when you see certain adolescences that are depressed, a working hypothesis is to encourage a therapist to find out if they are caught up in the cycle of conforming to fit in when the they don’t really see it as who they are. ex. even though you don’t think getting high is a good thing to do, you do it anyway to fit in and matter to others. retreat – abandon any hope of connection to broader systems; they just retreat. there is no point in being a part of anything, no hope and no connection. retreat into a world of relationships where they all share a disregard for values and attitudes of broader systems. engage in 1 or 2 predominant destructive ways of retreating: selfdestructive retreats – derive one’s identity from committing to behaviors and beliefs that others find objectionable but are at the same time quite harmful to the self. results in them being identified as a problem and having difficulties with authority. ex. drinking heavily, don’t go to school, always giving the finger to others otherdestructive retreats –get angry and commit to the destruction of other systems. ex. habitually vandalizing things, feel it is okay to harm others, disregard laws and moral codes of conduct, and act out in anger to others they are alienated from. all of us experience some degree of alienation. in the mode of responding to alienation, we are defining our identity and moving forward in a way that results in us to be connected to society with unique values and beliefs and aspirations. super alienated people never reach that and experience a lot of dysfunction. sabatelli, ronald. “early adolescence and alienation.” hdfs 1070. university of connecticut, storrs. 23 march 2016. lecture.",

"text": " 1 bio 1144 bio ii with dr. williamson animal bodies and homeostasis ● cells →tissues →organs → organ system ○ tissues are a group of similar cells that operate together for a common goal. organs are a group of tissues that operate together for a common goal. organ systems are groups of organs that operate together for a common goal. ● epithelial tissues: epithelium and glands ○ epithelium ■ epithelial tissue covers body surfaces and acts as the lining of body cavities. it is avascular, which means that there is no direct blood supply to the tissue so molecules enter by diffusion through underlying connective tissues. epithelial cells are tightly packed together and have little extracellular matrix. there is a thin film of acellular, gellike material between the epithelial cells and the underlying connective tissue. this film is called the basal lamina or the basement membrane. it is secreted by the cells on both sides. ■ organization ● number of cell layers the number of cell layers between the basement membrane and the surface has a specified name. simple means 1 layer and stratified means 2 or more layers. ● cell shape ○ squamous these cells are very thin and irregularly shaped. ○ cuboidal these cells are equal in height and width when viewed from the side and have a spherical nucleus in their centers. ○ columnar these cells are taller than they are wide and they have an oval shaped nucleus in the lower third of the cell. ● epithelial tissue types ○ simple squamous a single layer of flat, irregularly shaped cells. they act as sites of exchange, chemical excretion and molecule absorption. ○ simple cuboidal a single layer of cells that are as wide as they are tall. they act as sites of molecule absorption, chemical excretion, and are protective. ○ simple columnar a single layer of cells that are taller than they are wide. they act as sites of chemical excretion, molecule absorption, and are protective. ○ pseudostratified columnar a single layer of columnar cells but it looks like multiple layers because some of them are larger than others. regardless, it is one layer because each cell is in contact with the basal membrane. ○ stratified squamous multiple layers of flat, irregularly shaped cells. this kind of tissue acts as protection. in the case of skin cells in humans and many mammals, the layers grow upwards and as they do so they become filled with keratin until they die. this keratin allows them to resist water loss and protect the underlying cells and tissue from damage from uv light and pathogens. ○ stratified cuboidal multiple layers of cells that are as wide as they are tall. this has limited distribution throughout the body and acts as transportation. \n 2 ○ stratified columnar multiple layers of cells that are taller than they are wide. this has limited distribution in the body and functions as transportation. ○ transitional epithelial tissue this type of tissue is only found in the urinary tract, specifically in the bladder. they have folds in their plasma membranes to accommodate stretching of the bladder as it expands with urine. ○ glands ■ glands are actually pocketlike structures that are derived from epithelial tissue. ■ parts ● parenchyma these are the secretory units and ducts. ● stroma connective tissue surrounding the above as protection and support. ■ types ● exocrine exocrine glands have ducts that allow them to transport the products of the glands. ● endocrine they lack ducts and are highly vascularized (have blood vessels surrounding them) and the hormones they secrete are carried through the blood. ● connective tissues ○ the primary functions of connective tissue are to: provide structural support to organs and other tissues as well as bind them together, act as a medium of exchange, act as defense and protection, and some function for fat storage. the cells that comprise these tissues are dispersed in extracellular matrix. ■ extracellular matrix a substance comprised of fibers, cells, and other secretions. ● ground substance a gellike material that functions to promote diffusion and resists compression and stretching. it is composed of glycosaminoglycans (gags) and proteoglycans. ○ gags these are polymers of disaccharides that are highly negatively charged and allow for attraction of water. ○ proteoglycans these are cores of protein that the gags are directly attached to. they further the attraction of water. ● fibers these are strands of protein that are secreted by the cells of the connective tissue. ○ collagen these are the most common type. they have great tensile strength and provide structural support and prevent great stretching. ○ elastic these allow for elasticity (stretching and then returning to the original form with little warping) and stabilize the matrix. ○ reticular these are types of collagen fibers that help provide the structural framework for the matrix. ● cells there are multiple types of cells in the matrix that help it exist. ○ fibroblasts these secrete the materials that make up the matrix. ○ mast cells these cells initiate inflammatory responses. ○ macrophages they are phagocytes (cells that consume materials actively) that remove debris from other cells in the matrix and prevent infection by consuming pathogens. ○ leukocytes these prevent infection by consuming pathogens. ○ plasma cells these secrete antibodies, which prevent infection from pathogens that have previously entered the body. ■ types of connective tissue ● loose also called areolar, the collagen fibers within are randomly arranged. \n 3 ● dense the collagen fibers within the matrix are densely packed and arranged systematically. ● adipose this is fat tissue and allows the body to have shape and contour. ● cartilage this functions as a support tissue. ● bone this functions as a support tissue as well. ● blood this allows for transport of materials and protection from pathogens. ● muscle tissues ○ muscle tissue are specialized for contraction to allow the body mobility. ○ types ■ skeletal the contractive movement of this muscle is voluntary and each cell has multiple nuclei. it is also striated, which means that there is a regular pattern of proteins in the cells that allow the muscle to contract. this pattern shows up as a regular pattern of dark and light. most of these muscles are associated with bones and body movement but some (like the muscles in the upper part of the throat) help move cartilage. ■ cardiac the contractive movement of this muscle is involuntary and the cells are striated and have 1 or 2 nuclei. the cells also branch and connect to multiple others to form something similar to a net. this net of muscle allows for faster communication between the cells to sync the contractions, which is vital as regular heartbeats are necessary. most cardiac muscle is associated with the myocardium of the heart. ■ smooth the contractive movement of this muscle is involuntary, is striated, and the cells have only one nucleus. they surround the walls of hollow organs and glands. ● nervous tissue ○ nervous tissue is comprised of neurons and neuroglial cells, which allow for the transmission of information. ○ neurons ■ neurons are the only cells in the body capable of conducting nerve impulses, which control the rest of the body functions. ● dendrites dendrites are short tendrils that branch out from the cell body. they conduct the nerve impulse into the cell body. ● cell body called the soma. it contains most of the cytoplasm as well as the main organelles. it conducts the signal that the dendrites drew inwards and sends it down the axon. ● axon the cell body has a single, long tendril at the end opposite the dendrites. this tendril is called the axon. it conducts the nerve impulse out of the neuron and towards the dendrites of other neurons as it branches at its ends. ○ neuroglial cells these are cells that surround the neurons and work as protection and support as well as helping the nerve impulse move along the chain. they do not conduct the impulses though. ● homeostasis ○ homeostasis is the process of the body adjusting to changes in external stimuli in order to maintain a stable internal environment. it just means the body is trying to say the same as it always is. ■ set point the normal value for the variable under distress. ■ sensor the sensors for the variable monitor its variations and signal the integrator. ■ integrator the integrator reads the signals from the sensors and compares them to the set point to determine whether or not to signal the effector. ■ effector the effector is a mechanism that acts to establish the set point of the variable again. ○ feedback systems homeostasis operates under the fundamental feature of feedback systems, which are systems of responding to changes in both the internal and external environments. ■ negative feedback the most common. \n 4 ● they prevent small deviations from the set point from becoming too large. ● it determines the degree of the variation and responds accordingly to reverse the change. it also prevents the effector from overcompensating and making the issue worse but in the other direction. ● example: thyroxine concentration in the blood. the hypothalamus signals the anterior pituitary to signal the thyroid to produce thyroxine. the thyroxine produced then acts as a signal to the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary to stop sending signals out so that excess thyroxine is not forced into the system by the thyroid. ■ positive feedback this are very, very rare in biological systems. ● they amplify deviation from the set point. ● example: oxytocin acts as the chemical signal to induce labor in mammals. oxytocin triggers the contractions that begin labor and those contractions of the muscle produce more oxytocin, which increases the contractions, which causes more oxytocin to be produced and so on. ■ feedforward regulation ● this response is pre emptive/anticipatory. the body prepares for a deviation from the set point before it happens. many of these responses result from learning. ● example: in athletic competitions, athletes’ heart rates and breathing rates increase before they even start the competition because the body anticipates what is about to happen and prepares for it by flooding the body with adrenaline. digestive systems ● organisms ingest organic macromolecules for two general purposes: the generation of energy in the form of atp and the “creation” of smaller, more usable molecules using the macromolecules. ● functions ○ ingestion ○ digestion the mechanical and chemical breakdown of food. mechanical breakdown is physically crushing and dividing the food via teeth, stomach muscle contractions, etc. chemical breakdown is the chemical alteration of the materials via chemical reactions with enzymes. ○ absorption digested food is absorbed by the epithelial cells lining the gi tract. ○ transport food is moved from organ to organ to allow for continued absorption and processing of the materials. ○ elimination undigested or unabsorbed food is removed in the feces. ● feeding mechanisms different ways of eating. ○ suspension feeding (filter feeders) they filter organic molecules from the wall with cilialined tracts (like in bivalve mollusks and sea squirts) or filterlike “organs” such as the baleen of baleen whales. ○ bulk feeders they eat food in large chunks. ■ carnivores they consume meat by preying on animals. these are predators and scavengers. they have sharp, angular teeth designed for ripping and tearing. they have large canines. ■ herbivores they consume plant matter. these are grazers. they have large, ridged, wide surfacearea teeth suited for grinding and crushing plant matter. they have molars. ■ omnivores they consume both plants and animals. they have both ripping and tearing canines and grinding molars and premolars. ○ fluid feeders they consume fluid food. they do not need teeth in most cases but some developed them to puncture living prey to consume the body juices of the animal. ● mechanisms of digestion and absorption ○ intracellular digestion \n 5 ■ this is mainly present in sponges because food enters the cells directly via phagocytosis. ■ this process cannot meet the metabolic demands of large, active animals for very long and they have no ability to store food. ○ extracellular digestion ■ food is primarily digested outside of the cells. this protects the interior of the cells from the hydrolytic enzymes that would destroy or harm them. this allows the organism to consume large amounts of food, which enters the digestive cavity to be stored, slowly digested, and gradually absorbed by the cells of the body. ■ gastrovascular cavity ● simplest form of extracellular digestion. a single opening serves as both the entry for food and the exit for waste. food is partially digested in the cavity and then the dissolved particles are absorbed by phagocytosis. ■ alimentary canal gi tract ● a single, elongated tube with an entry end for food and an exit end for waste. it is lined by epithelial cells that synthesize the digestive enzymes, secrete hormones, and transport and absorb digested food. ● the walls of the canal contain smooth muscle to operate the mechanical breakdown actions. ● there are several specialized regions of the canal. eac has a different environment and serves a different purpose. ● vertebrate digestive systems ○ vertebrates have an alimentary canal as well as accessory structures such as teeth, a tongue, salivary glands, etc. ○ parts ■ oral cavity ● teeth begin the mechanical breakdown of the food by tearing/grinding the food. incisors (thin front teeth) act to bite off food, canines (sharp angular teeth) act to tear and shred food, and molars and premolars (every other tooth) act to grind the food down. ● salivary glands they produce saliva to moisten food. the saliva also has antimicrobial agents and has salivary amylase, which is an enzyme that begins the chemical digestion of carbohydrates. ● tongue it has lingual papillae, which are basically ridges that help to grip food and also contain taste buds. it aids in swallowing, especially by helping to create the bolus (the wet ball of food and saliva that gets swallowed). ■ pharynx the area generally referred to as the throat. ● tonsils they are lymphoid tissue (immune system) that are found surrounding the port of entry into the body cavity. the lymphocytes within provide protection from pathogens. ■ esophagus the tube conducting the food to the stomach. ● peristalsis the actual movement of the muscles surrounding the esophagus that acts in a wavelike motion to force food down into the stomach. it is involuntary. ● crop some organisms have it, some don’t. it is a storage organ and is just a dilated area before the stomach that acts as a storage space for food. little to no digestion occurs here. ■ stomach the large, most dilated part of the canal. ● muscle contractions force the food to break apart via mechanical breakdown and the stomach regulates the rate of emptying of the chyme into the small intestine. \n 6 there is no lipid or carbohydrate digestion here. chyme is the liquified, acidic slurry of food and enzyme created in the stomach. nasty. ● glands ○ parietal cells they secrete the hydrochloric acid in the stomach that allows for chemical breakdown of food. and killing of microbes and other pathogens. ○ chief cells they secrete pepsinogen, which, once it interacts with hydrochloric acid, becomes pepsin. pepsin is a general dissolver of proteins. they secrete pepsinogen instead because if they created the pepsin within themselves the pepsin would destroy the proteins within the chief cells themselves. ● herbivores they have to digest the cellulose in the plants they eat but lack cellulase. therefore, they have microbes in their canal that consume the cellulose and produce the needed monosaccharides. ○ simple stomach in nonruminant herbivores (meaning they don’t throw their food up to chew and swallow it again) such as rabbits, horses, and rats. the first region of the large intestine is called the cecum and has the cellulose digesting microbes. ○ complex stomach ■ forestomach is comprised of three parts prior to the true stomach. ● rumen cellulose digesting microbes. ● reticulum cellulose digesting microbes. ● omasum absorbs water and salt from food. ■ abomasum true stomach. contains acids and proteolytic enzymes. ■ intestines ● small intestine long tube that the stomach empties the chyme into. it finishes the digestion of proteins and carbohydrates into amino acids and monosaccharides, respectively. it also begins and ends the digestion of lipids and nucleic acids into glycerol & fatty acids and nucleotides, respectively.the length of the si varies but is generally longer in herbivores because they need more time to digest the plant materials. ○ surface modifications the surface area of the small intestine is greatly increased to provide for more absorption. ■ plicae circulares there are folds in the wall that project into the lumen (the space). ■ villi the individual bumps are called villi and increase the surface area. ■ microvilli the cells comprising the outer wall of the villi have highly folded regions of their plasma membranes as well. ● large intestine it’s primary function is to store and concentrate feces and absorb remaining salt and water. bacteria within it feed on remaining food and produce vitamins, which is a positive. it includes the cecum in some cases and also includes the colon, rectum, and anal canal. ○ accessory digestive glands ■ pancreas it produces extra digestive enzymes and also adds the chemical bicarbonate, which acts as a buffer so the ph of the intestine does not become too acidic. \n 7 ■ liver the liver produces bile for the emulsification (just remember the word and think of it as making things easier to digest) of lipids (fats). ■ gall bladder it stores and concentrates the bile created by the liver. nervous system ● the nervous system is comprised of all neurons and the many types of cells that protect them, which are called neuroglial cells. it is divided into the central nervous system (cns), which is comprised of the brain and spinal column and the peripheral nervous system (pns), which is comprised of everything else. in the peripheral nervous system a nerve is a group of axons that are bound together and a ganglion is a group of somas (cell bodies). ● neuroglia ○ these are the supportive cells. they do not conduct or generate an action potential or graded potential. they simply protect, feed, and aid the neurons. ○ astrocytes only in thecns. they form what is called the bloodbrain barrier. to get material to neurons there are many capillaries that go through the brain tissue. these capillaries are not directly next to neurons, instead they are surrounded by astrocytes, which absorb the material from the blood and then transfer it to the neuron. they protect the neurons from damaging materials such as alcohol. this trait makes them the metabolic support system for cns neurons. ○ microglia only in thcns . these are tiny, freemoving cells that are phagocytes. this means that they just kind of run around the brain eating up waste material, dead cells, and pathogens. ○ ependyma only in the cns. these line the central canal (the hollow area that the spinal cord is held in) of the spinal column and the ventricles of the brain (there are “hollow” areas in the brain called ventricles. these cells are ciliated and produce the cerebrospinalfluid, which is the liquid in which the brain and spinal cord are suspended. ○ oligodendrocytes only in the cns. these form the myelin sheath. myelin is not so much a material as a name for the protective coat around a neuron’s axon. oligodendrocytes are cells in the space between neurons that project parts of their cell membranes outwards. these projections wrap around the axons to form the sheath. they form many of these projections, sometimes attaching to multiple neurons, to the point that they look like spiky balls stuck to the axons. ○ schwann cells only in pns. these form the myelin sheath in thpns. these are single cells that wrap their entire bodies around part of the axon. they are small so there are a lot of these wrapped around a single axon. there are spaces between the cells. ● neurons ○ neurons are the structural/functional unit of the nervous system. they send and receive signals to various parts of the body and are present in all animals except sponges. ○ parts ■ the cell body of a neuron is called the soma, which contains the nucleus and most of the organelles of the neuron. groups of soma in the cns are called nuclei while groups of soma in the pns are called ganglia. ■ dendrites are multiple, short branches at one end of the soma that generate a graded potential when excited by another neuron’s action potential from its axon. ■ the axon is the long, singular projection at the end of the neuron opposite the dendrites. it generates the action potential and the first segment of the axon is called the axon hillock. ○ types of neurons ■ sensory neurons also called afferent neurons. they send information from the pns to the cns. ■ interneurons these neurons transmit signals to other neurons. \n 8 ■ motor neurons also called efferent neurons. they send information from the cns to the pns. ■ nerves in the pns ● sensory clusters of sensory neuron axons. ● motor clusters of motor neuron axons. ● mixed clusters of axons from both types of neurons. ● electrical properties of neurons and signal conduction ○ the plasma membrane of a neuron is the barrier that separates charged particles on either side. the concentration of these ions is different inside and outside the cell and this difference is what generates an electrical force (in volts) and when the cell is like this it is electrically polarized. the number that defines the difference across the plasma membrane is called the membrane potential. ○ resting membrane potential ■ this is the membrane potential of the plasma membrane when the neuron is at rest. the neuron is at rest at any time that it is not conducting an action potential. the charge within the neuron is normally 70 millivolts. the negative charge is mainly due to the presence of proteins, which have many negative charges, within the cell. ■ this potential is established because of the ion concentration gradient, which is that difference in ion concentration discussed above. the two big ions that control this gradient are sodium (na) and potassium (k). ● the na+/k atpase pump (think of that as one word) is a protein pump in the plasma membrane that constantly moves 3 na out of the cell and 2 in. this forces more positive charge to the outside of the cell and establishes the gradient. ● ungated na + and ungated k channels these are protein channels that allow for fast, passive movement into and out of the cell for their respective ions. + because there is a higher concentration of outside the cell and a higher concentration of k inside, the na rushes in and th rushes out when the + + neuron is at rest. there are 10100 times more channels than na channels so k is considered more valuable to the cell. ○ neuron communication ■ neurons “communicate” by rapid changes in the mp. the direction of ion movement across the plasma membrane depends on the electrochemical gradient (ecg), which determines the mp. this is established by two different types of ion channels in the plasma membrane: voltage gated, which open/close in response to the mp, and ligand gated, which open/close when ligands (binding molecules such as neurotransmitters) + + bind to the receptors. these channels allow for the transference of even mor and k. ● depolarization the neuron becomes less polarized because the gp from the dendrites opens the voltage gated channels and na+ rushes in. it’s called depolarization because, since the resting membrane potential is negative, the positive ion influx forces it positive for a moment. ● hyperpolarization the neuron, to adjust for the change it was forced to undergo, forces a lot of those positive ions out and briefly goes even more negative than the resting membrane potential, which is why it’s hyperpolarization. ■ signal transduction ● graded potentials these are changes in the mp of the dendrites that are triggered by an action potential from the axon of another neuron. they spread a short distance before dying out but if a gp is strong enough, or if enough of them are generated at one time, then the potential moves through to the neuron. \n 9 ● action potentials these are long distance electrical signals that include a large depolarization. they actually reverse the mp for a brief time. they begin at the axon hillock and travel down the axon. these are all or none events in that if the graded potentials are not strong enough, an ap won’t be generated at all, but if they are then one will be. the ap is actively regenerated all down the axon. they initiate the gp at the dendrites of the next cells. aps goes in one direction. they go from axon hillock to axon terminal, never the other way. ○ generation ■ depolarization the gps from the dendrites travel to the axon hillock. if the signal is strong enough (able to force the inside of the cell to go up to 50mv instead of 70mv) then an ap is generated. this causes the voltage gated na+ channels to open, which allows quick na+ influx, forcing the inside of the cell to temporarily become positively charge (referred to as temporary reversal of mp). ■ repolarization once the inside of the cell is positive the inactivation gate for the voltage gated na+ channel closes the channel. then the voltage gated k+ channels open about a millisecond later and allow the k+ within the cell to flood out to put the cell back at rmp. as the k+ rushes out the cell briefly becomes more negative than 70mv so the na +/k atpase pump works to establish the rmp again. ■ absolute refractory period this is a very short time period where the voltage gated na+ channels are inactive and completely incapable of opening. this nonresponsiveness is key so that the axon does not accidentally send the ap backwards and it also limits the rate of the ap generation. ○ factors affecting conduction ■ the larger the diameter of an axon, the faster the conduction will be. ■ myelination myelinated axons are significantly faster at conducting signals. the gaps between the cells that make the myelin sheath (oligodendrocytes in the cns and schwann cells in the pns) are called the nodes of ranvier and allow for saltatory conduction, which is conduction that seems to allow jumping of the ap from node to node. ■ synapses ● the junction between the axon of one neuron and the dendrites of another, the junction between a muscle cell and axon, or the junction between a gland and an axon. they can be electrical or chemical. most are chemical, though some allow the electrical charge to jump between the axon and dendrites. ○ chemical synapses ■ they use neurotransmitters, which are either inhibitory or excitatory molecules released into the synapse by the axon terminals. there are more than 100 in animals, including: gaba, which is the most common inhibitor, glutamate, which is the most common excitatory neurotransmitter, and acetylcholine, which is excitatory in skeletal muscles and the brain but inhibitory in cardiac muscle. ■ signal transmission process \n 10 ● the presynaptic neuron’s axon terminals contain vesicles (balls of cell membrane) that float in their cytoplasm that hold the neurotransmitters. when calcium is allowed the permeate the cell membrane it binds to the vesicles and forces them to meld with the cell membrane and release the neurotransmitters they contain into the synaptic cleft, which is the space between the axon terminal and dendrites. the neurotransmitter binds to the dendrites of the postsynaptic neuron and either opens the dendrite’s channels (excitatory) or closes them (inhibitory). the neurotransmitters that are not used up by this process are reabsorbed by the presynaptic neuron in the reuptake process. then this happens again and again and again. ● nervous system overview by phyla ○ cnidarians they have the simplest nervous system as it is nothing but a net of neurons that activate all or most of the neurons in the net if one area is activated. ○ echinoderms they have a ring of nerves around their mouth, which has nerves that radiate into the arms. this allows the mouth and the appendages to operate independently. ○ platyhelminthes there are long strands of nerves that go down the length of the flatworm and they are connected to each other by transverse nerves, which are just connectors. they have a cerebral ganglia (a collection of neurons in their head that seems like a rudimentary brain) and the system works for the basic communication between senses and motor control. ○ annelids very much like platyhelminthes but they have more neurons overall and there are ganglia in all of the ventral nerve cords. they also have a true rudimentary brain. ○ arthropods they have a true brain with subdivisions with separate functions. ○ mollusks they are very similar to annelids but they have paired nerve cords and a pair of anterior ganglia. they also have welldeveloped brains. ○ chordates they have a full cns and pns and their nervous system develops from the neural tube in the embryo. ● details of the cns and pns ○ general vertebrate brains develop from the embryonic neural tube and there are three divisions to this organ. there is thindbrain, which is the area towards the back of the brain that coordinates the body’s basic functions in order to preserve homeostasis. thmidbrain is the middle section of the brain and this generalized area processes the sensory input received from the sensory organs and is in direct control of specialized tasks such as unconscious movements like blinking. theforebrain, which sits at the front, is in control of the voluntary motor functions, helps the midbrain process sensory data, and control the personality as well as thoughts. \n 11 ○ ○ ○ details ■ the brain itself is called cerebrum . the cerebrum is split into two hemispheres of tissue that are covered in a surface layer of tissue callecerebral cortex (cortex means outer layer). this cortex holds about 10% of all the neurons in the cerebrum. the two hemispheres of the cerebrum are connected to one another by a small structure called thecorpus callosum . the left hemisphere is typically associated with language and speech processing while the right hemisphere is associated with facial recognition, emotions, and memory. ■ the brain is further divided inlobes: lobes are general areas of the brain that are predisposed to a specific function of control. frontal lobe is associated with the motor functions and conscious thought. the parietal lobe is associated with the senses of touch and location (understanding your place in space is, in fact, a sense). the occipital lobe is associated with vision and ttemporal lobe is associated with language and hearing. ■ basal nuclei these are areas of the brain that have great control over movement and planning. people affected by parkinson’s disease have damage to these nuclei, which causes loss of motor control. \n 12 ■ the limbic system the limbic system is comprised of tholfactory bulbs, amygdala , andhippocampus . the olfactory bulbs connect memories with smells. the entire limbic system is associated with memories and emotions. the amygdala is the direct controller of emotions and interpretation of them while the hippocampus actually stores the memories. ■ thalamus the thalamus is the “relay center” of the brain. all sensory input, excluding smell, travels through it to be distributed to the proper lobe of the brain. ■ hypothalamus the hypothalamus is a hormone producer in the brain, which makes it part of the endocrine system as well as the nervous. its hormones regulate the pituitary gland, which is the gland that controls the other glands of the body. in sum, the hypothalamus is the ceo who tells the pituitary (a franchisee) what to tell its workers (the endocrine glands) what to do. ■ epithalamus this is not a single structure, instead it is several in one. these structures control multiple things such as hunger, regular behaviors, and melatonin production in thpineal gland. ■ brainstem the brainstem is composed of themedulla oblongata ,pons, and midbrain. the midbrain relays many sensory inputs and uses tracts to communicate this information. the pons is a relay for information fromcerebellum (which controls balance and coordination but is a structure separate from the brainstem) to the rest of the brain. the medulla oblongata helps with basic reflexes and automatic processes like breathing. you sever the medulla and you’re dead almost immediately, no exceptions. ■ spinal cord the spinal cord is not the vertebrae, it is a literal cord of nervous tissue that runs through the hollows that are within the vertebrae. it acts as the pathway for the nerves of the pns to send their info to the brain and for the commands of the cns to reach the pns. ■ meninges the spinal cord and the entire brain are covered in a protective layer of membranes that are collectively called the meninges. thdura mater is the thickest meninge and is the outermost one. thearachnoid mater is a weblike meninge below the dm and the pia mater is a very thin membrane that actually touches the brain and spinal cord meningitis is inflammation of these tissues, which causes pressure on the brain or sc and causes severe pain, inhibition of normal function, and death. ■ peripheral nervous system (pns) ● in vertebrates there are two separate divisions of the pns:somatic and the autonomic . the somatic is entirely focused on voluntary control of movements. the autonomic controls everything else, such as heart rate. the autonomic is further divided into two divisions:parasympathetic and the sympathetic. the parasympathetic slows down an action, such as slowing the heart rate but does the opposite with eating, it tells you to eat more. the sympathetic does the opposite. it causes an action to increase with the exception of eating, which it tells you to stop doing. muscular system ● the muscular system is specifically designed for movement via specialized cells perfected for contraction. muscle tissue shows the traits of irritability (reactive to a stimulus), excitability (responsive to nerves and hormones), extensibility (stretching), and elasticity (reforming). vertebrates have three types of muscle tissue: cardiac, skeletal, and smooth. ○ skeletal \n 13 ■ ■ skeletal muscle is formed by the fusion of multiple cells in the embryo. these cells are arranged side by side and parallel to each other. if you look at a sheet of graph paper, imagine each block is a cell, that is how muscle cells are arranged. each cell is long and has multiple nuclei that are placed towards the ends of the cells. they cannot undergo mitosis to form new cells but they are able to regenerate themselves. ■ a muscle is a single organ composed of muscle cells and their protective tissumuscle fibers are individual muscle cells, which are naturally extremely long. a bundle of muscle fibers is called fascicle. a bundle of fascicles groups together to formmuscle. in skeletal muscles there are three types of connective tissue that help to protect the muscle cells: thepimysium ,perimysium , and endomysium . the epimysium covers the entire muscle and is very thick. the perimysium is within the muscle and surrounds the fascicles. the endomysium is a layer that surrounds every individual muscle fiber. ■ sarcomeres muscle cells are able to contract because of their functional units, the sarcomeres. sarcomeres are regularly spaced segments of proteins arranged in a very specific order that repeats end to end. myofibrils are cylinders of contracting proteins that surround the myofilaments. ● ● myofilaments are thick and thin protein filaments that slide over one another in order to produce the contraction. ○ thin filaments ■ actin actin molecules form two chains that form a helix. each of these chains has a binding site for myosin. (orange balls in a chain above) ■ tropomyosin this protein is one long rope that wraps around the actin when the muscle fiber is relaxed in order to block the myosin binding site. (white rope in pic above) ■ troponin complex the troponin complex is a small area of proteins that sit at a point on the tropomyosin. it is comprised of tni; which binds to the actin; tnt, which binds to the tropomyosin, and tnc, which binds to calcium. (tnc is the \n 14 only part shown above but consider that to have the other two pieces as well) ○ thick filaments ■ myosin myosin molecules are dimers of two myosin molecules bound to each other’s tails. these molecules have an actin and atp binding region on their heads and their tails just join them to each other. a myosin filament is comprised of several hundred of these molecules bound to each other in a chain. ● ● sarcomeres have the appearance of being striated (patterned in color by alternation) because the thin filaments stretch over all of the sarcomere except for a space in the middle while the myosin filaments are held in the middle. a dark area appears where the thin and thick filaments overlap and a lighter area shows where it's just thin filaments. to bind the sarcomeres to one another there is an area where there are proteins that bind the thin filaments of two sarcomeres together, this area is called tzdisk. the light band is called an iband while the dark area is called aband. the very small area of light that is in the middle of the sarcomere is calledhzone and the dark line in the center of the hzone is called tmline. these are illustrated in the pearson image above. ■ contraction ● the muscle fiber has?",

"text": "pols 1101: intro to american government spring 2016 study guide for unit 2 exam understanding american democracy key concepts: make sure to know and understand the three general ways and ten specific ways that americans citizens are legally and institutionally enabled to exert control over government. the three general ways: 1. helping to elect who serves in the government 2. working outside the normal democratic process in order to improve it 3. seeking to influence the behavior of those serving in the government \n the ten specific ways: 1. working for and/ or donating money to a political party 2. openly advocating for a candidate running for elected office (and perhaps thereby persuading others to vote for that candidate) 3. voting in free elections 4. working for and or donating money to a candidate’s campaign 5. running for public office 6. suing government in court 7. directly voicing views and needs to government officials 8. donating money to an interest group that engages in lobbying 9. starting an interest group that seeks to influence the behavior of government official 10. you can serve on a jury 11. engage in activities outside the normal democratic process to create changes to the normal democratic process itself \n make sure to know and understand the advantages democratic governments have over nondemocratic / authoritarian governments. 1. democracies are more likely than authoritarian governments to do good things for the people 2. stable democratic governments are more likely than authoritarian governments to promote the education and physical health of citizens 3. stable democratic governments are more likely than authoritarian governments to intervene to prevent or relatively quickly address famines 4. people who live in democracies are on average happier than those who live under authoritarian governments vocabulary: authoritarian government (or nondemocratic government) the label used in this textbook for referring to all nondemocratic \n governments—that is, governments that are in no meaningful sense by the people because the people do not have the legal rights and freedoms necessary for exercising ongoing significant control over government. civil disobedience protesting, demonstrating, producing political art and music, boycotting, writing books, producing documentaries, and engaging in sitins democracy (or democratic government) form of government that is by the people in the sense that the people, understood as all adult citizens, are enabled to exercise ongoing significant control over the government by exercising legal rights and freedoms designed to give them that control. free elections elections in which (1) more than one candidate runs for office, (2) the candidates present real alternatives by promising to promote different public policies (or stand for different values or principles) if elected, (3) no adult citizen is unjustly denied the right to vote, (4) all who have the right to \n vote have reasonable opportunity to exercise that right, and (5) everyone’s vote is counted. chapter 5: public opinion key concepts: understand and discuss the concept of public opinion. public opinion matters for three reasons: (1) citizens’ political actions are driven by their opinions, (2) public opinion helps explain the behavior of candidates, political parties, and other political actors; politicians look to public opinion to determine what citizens want them to do, (3) public opinion can also shed light on the reasons for specific policy outcomes. what factors influence public opinion? political knowledge and political values. political values are based on views about the purpose and scope of government. political knowledge is limited among the general public. \n politically knowledgeable—including a hefty investment of time, energy, and resources—ability to carry on a political conversation or cast an informed vote. know how political values are shaped. political values are shaped by the process of political socialization. political socialization influences your political opinion. political socialization can consist of family, religion, schooling, friends, coworkers, and members of his or her community. how does group identity influence a person’s political opinions? people learn about politics from the people around them. people may rely on others who “look like” them as a source of opinions. candidates and political consultants often formulate their campaign strategies in terms of groups. discuss how the public influences the government and why the government would/should listen to public opinion. 1.in a representative democracy, national leaders represent the will of the people. \n 2.provides accurate and timely information on the people’s preferences for public policy. 3.when leaders do not reflect public opinion in the decisions they make, it leads to lower levels of trust in government. 4.the political system permits leaders to ignore public opinion and skirt accountability. 5.changes in technology have open up new avenues for informing the decision making of elected officials and holding them accountable for those decisions. how is public opinion measured? when can polls be trusted? public opinion is measured through opinion polls. for public opinion polls to be trusted, they must be conducted in a scientific manner and carefully worded to capture valid and reliable results. discuss the concept of sampling. what is random sampling? surveys are composed of random samples, small subsets of the population being studied, in which every member of the population has an equal chance of being studied. because \n samples of populations are surveyed rather than every member, the survey results may not be completely accurate. vocabulary: public opinion the population’s collective attitudes and beliefs about politics and government primacy principle what is learned first tends to leave a strong and lasting impression that remains with a person throughout life gender gap a term that refers to the regular patterns by which women are more likely to support democratic candidates. women tend to be significantly less conservative than men and are more likely to support spending on social services and to oppose higher levels of military spending. straw poll an informal poll that does not employ scientific methods like random sampling party identification children are likely to identify with the same political party as their parents \n political ideology a coherent set of beliefs about the role of government. how broad should government’s reach be? for what services should the government be responsible? what are the rights and duties of citizens, and what are the duties of the government? random sampling a method of selecting survey participants in which each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected sample – relatively small proportion of people who are chosen in a survey so as to be representative of the whole honeymoon period the first several months of a new presidential administration, during which the newly elected president generally faces little public criticism margin of error a statistic related to the sample size of a survey that suggests the numerical degree to which the survey results may or may not reflect the opinions of the broader public. \n political socialization family, religion, and schooling, an individual’s political socialization can be influenced by friends, coworkers, and members of his or her community rallyaroundtheflag effect the increased popular support given to the president in times of crisis. \n chapter 6: the media key concepts: explain the relationship between the media, the public, and the government the media help citizens to hold their government accountable for political decisions and lead individuals to change their attitudes about public policy. media serves the public by providing information that both educates audiences on political affairs and oversees the everyday workings of government. identify the role that media plays in informing the public about politics and government. the issues the media choose to present and the way they present them do affect how people think about politics. compare and contrast the different types of media and how they affect public opinion and knowledge television: broadcasts range from simple, factbased reporting as on nbc, cbs, and abc to radical, onesided, and \n humorous as on the o’reilly factor, the daily show with john stewart, and the colbert report. radio: programs are often centered on a single, strongly opinionated individual who fields questions and comments from listeners and offers his or her own insights. the majority of politically based radio programs are conservatively oriented. internet: offers every kind of previously mentioned media, though usually in limited fashion. there are many blogs that report on politics, but they tend to rely on information collected by outside sources, rather than doing their own reporting. the internet also provides a forum for the average citizen with a connection to voice his or her opinion for the world to hear. discuss trends in media viewer and readership viewership of network news has steadily declined since the advent of cable television. newspaper circulation and readership are on the decline. \n discuss the business model of the media and how it affects what is consumed by the public media operates on marketdriven journalism. therefore, story coverage is driven by audience appeal rather than by educational, social, or political value. discuss the different mechanisms and laws that regulate the media media are compelled to increase the entertainment value of their content in order to attract audiences and increase advertising revenues. market driven journalism. soft news or infotainment. if a market is dominated by a single media provider, then the information available to the public is limited to that offered by the provider. the fcc regulates broadcast media (radio, tv, telephone, cable) enforcing federal laws. know how the media in the u.s. differs from the media in other countries in most other democracies, government organizations are involved to some extent in the ownership and operation of broadcast news sources. although publicly owned broadcast \n sources in these countries are generally free from political interference, they are usually required by law to provide basic levels of public affairs coverage. in the system of commercial ownership in the u.s., media outlets are free to cover whatever they choose. compare and contrast the concepts of agenda setting, priming and framing (and give examples of each). agenda setting the process of getting issues on the political agenda, or those issues to which the public and decisionmakers are paying attention and on which there is active political debate. example: the media attention devoted to the efforts by president obama and democrats in congress to reform the nation’s health care system. in september of 2009, newspaper coverage of health care policy peaked. in the same month, concern about health care also peaked, with 26 percent of americans saying that the issue was the most important problem \n facing the country. as newspaper coverage declined, so did the public perception that health care was the most important problem facing the country. priming the process by which the media influence the way people think about an issue or event. through its presentation of information, the media shape how people consider issues and events and interpret related information. example: in the months leading up to the 2004 presidential election, news outlets focused a great deal of coverage on the iraq war, priming voters to think about which presidential candidate would be best able to handle national security issues. framing the process by which media encourages viewers to interpret journalistic stories in a particular way. media can frame stories for the public using selective presentation of facts or specific descriptive language. \n example: the day after the white house health care summit in february of 2010, two different media outlets posted the following headlines: “ready to go it alone, dems push on health care”24 —msnbc, february 26, 2010 “in gamble, obama and dems prepare to ram health care through” —fox news, february 26, 2010 though logically similar, the terms “ram” and “push” evoke different interpretations of the democratic plan to move forward with the proposed reforms. know the concepts of yellow journalism and muckraking, and know the difference between them. muckraking journalism focused on exposing corruption in government or industry. \n example: the progressives utilized the print media in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to expose government corruption and promote political and social reform yellow journalism a style of reporting in which journalists exaggerate or even fabricate news stories to increase circulation example: new york newspapers helped to provoke the spanishamerican war by publishing articles falsely charging that the spanish had destroyed the u.s.s. maine. know how watergate affected the way the media covers issues the watergate scandal caused a fundamental change in the relationship between the president and the press, with the media adopting a much more aggressive and critical posture toward government. increasingly, the press came to view its role as providing not just neutral coverage but adversarial oversight. how does persuasion occur? \n this persuasion can indirectly result from agenda setting, priming, and framing, but it can also directly result from persuasion. three factors determine the likelihood of persuasion: source characteristics, message characteristics, and audience characteristics. in other words, persuasion depends on who says what to whom. vocabulary: television media leading source of news for u.s. public. televised speeches and news conferences give president ability to communicate directly with public. televised candidate debates important, especially in presidential rage radio media led to immediate reporting of news allowed president to speak directly to public. \n franklin roosevelt successfully used radio to influence public opinion in \"fireside chats\". continues as important news delivery vehicle print media newspapers and magazines newspapers started in colonial times and reached peak influence in early 20th century; in decline since 1950s. magazines devoted to public affairs started in mid 19th century, attracted mass readership in 20th century, but also now in decline. new media sources of political information that are not a part of traditional print or broadcast media. primarily found in digital sources like the internet, new media are characterized by their interactivity, or the consumer’s role in defining and shaping the information \n infotainment also called soft news, infotainment combines information and entertainment. this form of media emphasizes stories that are entertaining even if they are lacking in seriousness, significance, or timeliness. fcc regulates broadcast media (radio, tv, telephone, cable) enforcing federal laws. independent regulatory agency insulated from direct control by president or congress. marketdriven journalism a market in which private ownership of media encourages journalistic practices driven by increasing advertising revenue, circulation, and profit margins. this type of market leads to story coverage driven by audience appeal rather than by educational, social, or political value muckraking journalism focused on exposing corruption in government or industry. muckraking was prevalent in the u.s. from the 1890s to the 1930s and influenced many legislative reforms of the period. \n yellow journalism a style of reporting in which journalists exaggerate or even fabricate news stories to increase circulation. this sensationalistic mode of journalism was prevalent in the u.s. at the turn of the 19th century. agenda setting the process of getting issues on the political agenda, or those issues to which the public and decision makers are paying attention and on which there is active political debate. priming the process by which the media influence the way people think about an issue or event. through its presentation of information, the media shape how people consider issues and events and interpret related information. framing the process by which media encourages viewers to interpret journalistic stories in a particular way. media can frame stories for the public using selective presentation of facts or specific descriptive language. persuasion source characteristics, message characteristics, and audience characteristics \n lead individuals to change their attitudes about public policy chapter 7: voting and political participation key concepts: define political participation and give examples of different kinds. which kinds of participation are most common and why? political participation simply refers to any kind of action that is aimed at changing or supporting government policy or officials. conventional participation refers to common actions, considered culturally acceptable at a given time in history, that \n communicate preferences through established institutions. modern forms of conventional participation include contacting elected officials, working on election campaigns, voting, associating with political parties or interest groups, and signing petitions. unconventional participation refers to actions that are less common, take place outside of established institutions, and/or challenge cultural norms. such actions can include participation in demonstrations, protests, strikes, boycotts, sit ins, or terrorist activities aimed at sending a political message . identify why political participation matter and identify the key role that individuals play in the government political participation, whether conventional or unconventional, plays an important role in a democracy because it allows citizens to communicate their will to public officials. forms of political participation also provide channels of expression for those seeking to influence government. \n when are people most likely to vote or participate in politics? why? people with more education, higher incomes, and whitecollar jobs are more likely to participate politically than people of a lower socioeconomic status. be able to identify other factors that affect the likelihood of voting and for whom someone will vote. a combination of specific forces—partisan loyalty, policy issues, candidate characteristics, and economic conditions— can help explain the vote choices that americans make. what trends do we observe concerning voter turnout? the first is that voter turnout has generally declined since the 1960s. the second is that voter turnout in the u.s. remains lower than in other industrialized countries. how does the u.s.’s voter turnout compare to that of other industrialized nations? voter turnout in the united states is lower than in a number of other countries with regular elections. vocabulary: \n conventional participation culturally acceptable political activity that communicates preferences through established institutions. unconventional participation political activity that takes place outside of established institutions and challenges cultural norms. prospective voting voter behavior that evaluates candidates based on forecasts of their future political behavior. retrospective voting voter behavior that evaluates candidates based on their experience or past performance. socioeconomic status the combination of education, occupation, and income that can be used to gauge one’s position in society. balancing the ticket the practice of presidential nominees selecting a running mate who broadens the public appeal of the campaign. social capital the degree of civic connectedness within a political community. franchise the right to vote \n chapter 8: political parties key concepts: identify and define what a political party is and how they influence government. a political party consists of three separate components: the party organization, the party in government, and the party in the electorate. parties help to informally structure elections by running candidates for office under specific party labels. what three components make up a political party? explain each one. \n a political party consists of three separate components: the party organization, the party in government, and the party in the electorate. which parties are dominant in the united states? what are the origins of our current parties? how and why have parties in the united states changed over time? (be specific about each realignment.) the u.s. political system has been dominated by the republican and democratic parties. when the house voted in favor of adams, jackson turned his attention to the formation of a new party focused on the expansion of political participation, expansion of the nation’s territory, and opposition to government economic regulation in 1828, jackson was elected president under the banner of the newly formed democratic party. the old democraticrepublicans who did not favor jackson or his laissezfaire economic policies soon formed the whig party. \n explain the advantages and disadvantages of a two party system (chart in your book) the advantages and disadvantages of the american twoparty system advantages disadvantages fosters stability offers few new ideas reflects median of public opinion tends to be slow to change checks and balances political power engenders little difference in party guarantees a legislative majority platforms simplifies vote choice limits access to minor parties ensures a clear winner restricts vote choice promotes accountability discourages coalition building leads to polarized and adversarial politics know how and why third parties function in political systems such as the one we have in the united states. third parties may introduce important issues and pressure the system for needed reform. what is polarization? has it been increasing or decreasing in recent years according to your textbook? political polarization refers to cases in which an individual's stance on a given issue, policy, or person is more likely to be \n strictly defined by their identification with a particular political party or ideology. the two parties have become increasingly polarized since the 1950s, with fewer republicans and democrats taking moderate positions. how has party identification changed since the 1950s among voters? more people are independent instead of identifying with the democratic or republican party. the decline in american party identification indicates that the power of parties in the electorate has diminished over time. what are critical elections? a critical election is one in which groups of voters change their loyalty from one party to another. know the differences between a referendum, an initiative, and a recall. initiative a means by which voters consider measures to change local ordinances, state statutes, or constitutions. \n referendum a means for citizens to participate in policymaking by voting directly on a variety of measures, including initiatives or recalls. recall a means for voters to remove an elected official before the expiration of the officeholder’s term know how parties are organized. are they centralized or decentralized? the party organization refers to a set of structures at the national, state, and local levels. n this organizational system, power is centralized under a national committee; the two largest such organizations are the democratic national committee (dnc) and the republican national committee (rnc). how did the founding fathers feel about political parties? what does the constitution say about them? the federalists believed that the survival of the young nation required a stronger central government. the antifederalists \n feared that a strong central government would threaten individual rights and state sovereignty. the entire constitution was written to structure a government independent of political parties. key terms: open primary a primary in which voters can vote for the candidates of either the democratic or the republican party closed primary a primary election in which voters must first declare to which party they belong political parties an organized coalition of interests that seeks to influence government and policy by getting members elected to public office and by coordinating the actions of elected officials. party platform the document or statement developed by a political party to include its official positions on issues of public concern. \n party organization national office, staff, rules, bylaws, budget, includes state and local headquarters, keep the party running between elections duverger’s law the principle by which political systems with singlemember plurality districts are likely to have a twoparty system. political machine a party organization at the state or local level that sought political influence by offering rewards, in the form of government jobs and services, to sympathetic voters and party workers. initiative a means by which voters consider measures to change local ordinances, state statutes, or constitutions. referendum a means for citizens to participate in policymaking by voting directly on a variety of measures, including initiatives or recalls. recall a means for voters to remove an elected official before the expiration of the officeholder’s term. \n \n chapter 9: interest groups key concepts: what is an interest group, and how does it differ from a party? interest groups are organizations of people seeking to influence government and public policy. unlike the two major political parties, interest groups in the u.s. are relatively small and typically organized around a discrete set of issues. while parties structure the institutions of government, such as the committee system in congress, interest groups petition government as outsiders. while parties structure the electoral system through candidate recruitment, control over the nomination process, and influence over the rules of the electoral game, interest groups work at the grassroots level to educate voters, raise money, and increase awareness. know how interest groups are formed and maintained. what is the “free rider” problem? how does it apply to interest groups and what can they do to overcome this obstacle? \n what is the function of a lobbyist? whom do interest groups represent? be sure to know what factors cause a person or an entity’s interests to be more or less represented by an interest group. be able to discuss the different types of interest groups and their roles in government discuss the function of the iron triangle and the role interest groups play in it be able to explain how interest groups influence government. be specific and be sure to include each branch of government. be able to compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of interest groups and their effect on government know the difference between pluralist and elitist theories of interest groups. key terms interest groups any group that seeks to influence public policy grassroots advocacy the act of asking the general public to contact legislators and government officials concerning the issue at hand \n direct lobbying direct interaction with public officials for the purpose of influencing policy decisions lobbyists provide current and meaningful information to government officials private interests those interests that benefit individuals or select groups without benefiting the whole public interests those interests that benefit the whole as opposed to benefiting a select group of private interests lobbying political activity that aims to influence government policymaking. those who engage in lobbying are known as lobbyists amicus curiae briefs a type of brief filed by a “friend of the court,” or someone who is not directly involved in the case at hand. interest groups often file this type of brief to provide information to the court to assist in its decisionmaking process. political action committee organizations established by individuals or private groups with the aim of raising money to \n contribute to candidates for elective office. pacs are regulated by the federal election commission \n ",

<faculty name> \n 2 introduction the purpose of the final assignment is to select four countries and compare and contrast the business environment of each country. in order to become successful as a manager, marketer, or ceo of an international business, one must understand the environment where business is being conducted. to do this, one must review a variety of different types of data and analyze appropriately. the types of information required for this analysis includes the following: (1) performance information, (2) challenges, (3) advantages, and (4) disadvantages for selected st countries in the 21 century. corporate social responsibilities and the global financial crisis also play a significant role in the global environment. once this understanding is formulated, an individual can begin to compare and contrast various regions throughout the world to determine the best strategy moving forward. the following paper will include an analysis of each country and will include an evaluation, comparison analysis, and discussion of the business environment within each selected country. this evaluation will allow for a multinational company (mnc) to have an understanding of the stability of each country addressed for potential entry. in addition, this understanding will help a mnc to not only how to enter a country but how to be successfully strategize and wade through cultural barriers. selected countries the original primary selection method utilized to select four countries to evaluate is based upon areas i am personally interested in conducting business within. after making the attempt to find scholarly articles on the smaller islands and countries chosen, i had to look to find alternatives. the main focus was to look to countries that utilized a more direct communication \n 3 approach; as the alternative indirect approach would prove to be more frustrating than what it would be worth to me. while most of my choices are similar in nature to the u.s., i am including an alternative country, china. by incorporating china, a differing perspective can be shown within this paper. the countries selected for this study are as follows: 1) new zealand, 2) australia 3) brazil, and 4) china . challenges identified one major challenge that every intercultural country will face is intercultural sensitivity or the lack thereof. while cultures begin to come together, the members that are part of the newly formed teams will need to become sensitive to the cultural attributes of the group. while the differences between cultures certainly make the work environment unique, each culture may want to label their own as superior. the limited understanding that each culture may have of one another may need to be identified and sensitivity training provided to avoid unnecessary conflict. by understanding those differences up front, the ability to accept and appreciate each culture becomes possible. as a u.s. citizen attempting to conduct business in a strict islamic country, one may view the differences in culture as appalling and backwards. to be effective in this environment, one must take a step back and at least make the attempt to understand the history and the reasoning behind why the other culture thinks the way it does. now, to take a deeper look at the chosen countries and the associated challenges. new zealanders tend to focus on small, communitybased business partners. the residents tend to choose to conduct business amongst friends in their tight niche community with people termed “business mates”. the relationships built are extremely informal and community based. the challenge to enter into business in new zealand will be to build enough trust to become part of \n 4 the existing community. to do so, this will take time to build the relationship (park, levine, weber, lee, terra, botero, & wilson, 2012) . australia offers very few barriers to entry, especially with american firms. the legal and corporate structures are very close in nature and entry is easily acquired. the one main area that could be a potential barrier is the level of competition. the easier the entry, the higher the level of completion from local and foreign businesses. brazil’s challenges when it comes to entering this market include the pure number of businesses battling for a market share. this emerging global market is being saturated with foreign companies that are trying to be the first in line. as a smaller company entering the market, businesses like walmart may take the upper hand (luthans & doh, 2012). lastly, one of china’s challenges that recently made the news is the level of pollution in the country. not only were schools shut down for several days but businesses as well. the population in china is high as well as the output of pollution. entering china will require a lot of thought and preparation on green and sustained building. performance the next area to evaluate is performance during the global financial crisis. during the global financial crisis only a few countries reported doing well. those that did, fell into the category of the brics countries. china was one of those countries. the reason they did so well was because the chinese government had placed over $2 trillion in reserves and economic growth remained above 7%. in addition, the population in general save more than 40% of their income. with the savings in hand, government and individual, china was not as affected by the \n 5 crisis as they had planned for times such as these. in addition, china utilized $600 billion to stimulate it’s economy and develop infrastructure (payne, 2013). brazil is a second brics country that did well during the global financial crisis. brazil’s growth was 5.7% in 2005, 3.2% in 2006, 4% in 2007, and 5.1% in 2008 due to the confidence in it’s economy as well as a positive and smooth presidential election and appreciation of the brazilian real. brazil offers a stable economy as well as a central location close to the u.s. and strong european countries. it has become one of the fastest growing automobile exporters, the second largest location for direct foreign investment next to china for developing countries, and one of the largest passenger airplane manufacturing countries (luthans & doh 2012). australia also took a significant hit during the global financial crisis. the australian dollar depreciated rapidly by over 30% in 2008. to attempt to stimulate the economy, australia’s reserve infused the country with additional funds to become more liquid. a significant portion of the dollar’s depreciation was recovered in 2009. until 2008, new zealand’s treasury, kaitohutohu kaupapa rawa, the country experienced an average gdp growth rate until the global financial crisis. as the crisis took place, the country started a recession and began a decline. new zealand’s gdp during the global crisis has steadily declined by 2.2% in 2009, 2.2% in 2010, and subsequently declined by 3.3% in 2014 (reserve bank of australia, 2010). ethical perspective elkington (2012) discussed the concept of sustainable development and social responsibility of multinational corporations. companies like bp, monsanto and shell are only a few named that need to take into consideration the rules of the global world rather than just the \n 6 originating country. multinational companies can no longer ignore the human element behind conducting business in various locations and a variety of cultures. while standards are put into place for u.s. citizens, they are not necessarily in place for third world countries. in addition, other areas of concern such as corruption, bribery, overworking employees, and utilizing child labor need to be analyzed and addressed. to further clarify what is meant by ethical perspective, i will share a personal example of conducting business in afghanistan. osha standards are put into place for expatriate contractors. they are not necessarily put in place for local national contractors. the contracts written by the u.s. government are written differently for local national personal and contractors versus those contractors brought in from countries located outside of afghanistan. during my tenure in country, one of the contracts was to build facility that would house an army detachment. in the time we were on base, the contract that was put into place was awarded to an afghan company. the personnel did not have to comply with ohsa standards as the standard only applied to expatriate contractors. as the local national company’s workers began to place the roof on the facility in january. the afghan workers were seen in their moccasins on the metal roof, working in slick conditions. they did not have fall protection of any kind. this meant they were not hooked to anything and they were thirty plus feet off of the ground. the workers’ shoes did not have rubber soles, and the method of getting onto the roof was a wobbly, concocted ladder. in addition, the workers were seen having their very own snowball fight from one side of the roof to the other. all of this was done under the noses of headquarters staffing. at one point, one of the local nationals slipped and almost came off of the rooftop. now, while discussing this story, the point being made is who has the responsibility to ensure that everyone \n 7 working on contract has the same standard? is it reasonable to say that local national companies have to abide by the same rules, and in turn are then mandated to purchase safety equipment to meet the standard from the company conducting business in that country? while multinational companies work in other countries, a company must decide what is the correct balance between complying with the typical standard of the home country, and the location of where business is being conducted. whose has the responsibility for work being conducted safety? in addition, which set of rules and can a company mandate third world country workers to comply? it it feasible to demand compliance with first world country standards? these are the questions that must be answered prior to ever conducting business within a country that holds a different standard. now, how does this scenario apply to the four countries selected? it applies because of the emerging markets and strong markets that are building multinational companies within each country’s borders. the companies need to make decision up front on what their goals are and what their ethical responsibilities are in the operating environment. brazil and china known as up and coming, developing countries. china may be the most controversial when it comes to ethical standards. while working in china, the decisions that come to mind are those that have to do with child labor, unequitable pay, gender equality, corruption, contract kickbacks, and favoritism for contract awards towards family and friends. the positive aspect of a business that is sourcing products from china will find that products made more quickly and are less expensive. with that in mind, a multinational company must make the decision as to which ethical standards they may need to break or to what extent they willing to bend for that cheaper product. while china has a considerable level of successful \n 8 business dealings without corruption or the other negative connotations, the negative aspects also need to be considered. in brazil, one of the concerns is in regards to ethics is consulting a legal team. while in the more westernized countries, legal counsel is utilized to avoid ethical issues, it is a concern to contact them in brazil. brazil managers and nonmanagers alike tend to steer away from legal council finding it to be more of a risky concept to utilize legal versus not utilizing legal (leila trapp, 2011). ethical standards in new zealand are much like the u.s. individuals that work in new zealand find that while generally ethical standards are high, that the belief is that the standards have been compromised over the last few years. individuals find that further down the line in the chain of command, the more likely it is to have to bend the rules and the overall standard in order to make a successful transaction happen (alam, 1999). while business ethics is growing as an important issue in australia, the overall concern by senior management, the overall concern by lower level employees believe that ethical standards are lacking (miltonsmith, 1997). in a later study, it was noted that the code of ethics is not a normalcy in australia. australians do believe in an ethical standard, but they do not have the same belief in creating and following a written policy (callaghan, m., wood, g., payan, j. m., singh, j., & svensson, g, 2012). communications building business relationships is extremely important concept to become successful in the international environment. each culture has a different method and form and way of communication desires and wants. the difficulty becomes knowing which form of \n 9 communicating is being utilized as well as understanding the nuances behind each type. by studying each of the four identified countries, a baseline can be developed. once that baseline is identified, a marketer or business owner could understand how not to offend the other country’s culture as well as work within the alternative guidelines towards success. to begin, new zealand boasts a very similar culture to the u.s. in the form of business communications. new zealand has a culture that incorporates the direct communication method as well as low context methods. low context styles focus on monochrome styles, tangible or shortterm business goals, and one relationship at a time. the business relationship is a very pointed and direct relationship where most issues are discussed openly and meanings are clear and up front. china on the other hand is a high context culture boasting indirect communication. the chinese tend to imply their message through body language and meanings are imbedded in an individual’s actions. they also have a tendency to focus on a multitude of relationships at the same time (zhu, 2009). australia utilizes many of the same communication methods that new zealand and the u.s. utilize. australians, even in business, are generally easy going, friendly, and informal. negotiators and managers conducting business in australia need to pay attention to sporting events in the area, local news, and entertainment. in addition, informal and friendly conversation, a sense of humor, and eye contact are all important. australians move towards utilizing first names very quickly. it is important for individuals conducting business in australia to have a business card readily available, to be on time, and while a gift is not required, a small one is appreciated (clark & vemuri, 2008). \n 10 brazil is a bit tougher to navigate as there are four distinct subcultures within the country. a marketer, negotiator or manager must identify which subculture they are working with and subsequently choose the appropriate communication strategy. the personality traits such as achievement, selfdirection, enjoyment, security, and restrictive conformity vary amongst the four different subcultures. as one learns to navigate the various areas of brazil and begins to understand the differences, an individual can alter the strategy to end in success (volkema, 2012). challenges and differences challenges and differences are prevalent in each culture. finding a way to understand those differences will be part of any successful business strategy. one of the ways to ensure that business students are taught about the various cultures they intend to conduct business within. students and employees alike will need extensive crosscultural training to provide another frame of reference. if the individual is not properly trained, the only frame of reference that individual will ever know is his or her own. this creates a limited understanding of the way the other country’s team members operate and will certainly be the cause of disputes in the future (durocher, 2009). to attempt to combat cultural disputes and potentially offending team member sand coworkers, a mnc moving into a new country must evaluate a number of areas. bharadwaj (2013) discussed the following areas as key areas to research and prepare answers for prior to conducting business in another environment: 1) approach towards formality and individual status 2) attitude towards uncertainty, 3) attitude towards time, 4) role of hierarchy, 5) role of gender, 6) choice of communication channels, and 7) degree of formality. by having a good \n 11 understanding of each of these items, an individual can be much more prepared for the alternative business environment. one of the primary challenges to entering the australian market is making assumptions that the other culture is understood. u.s. marketers may think they understand another culture and their philosophies, but in the end, truly may not. by making the assumption that american business personnel understand australian culture, many points can be missed. while both of the cultures are similar in nature, the smallest of nuances that are missed may be the difference between signing the deal or being eliminated from the deal (clark & vemuri, 2008). in brazil, there are a number of entry barriers including: (1) restricted access to financing (2) inefficient government assistance systems, (3) shortages of skilled labor, and (4) weak institutional frameworks (cardoza, fornes, farber, gonzalez, & ruiz gutierrez, 2015). as the chinese conduct business, the initial team meeting is utilized to start the relationship building process. the chinese businessmen and women tend to focus on bringing in a third party that knows both parties to vouch for each other. by doing so, this begins building the relationship as well as helps to gain trust and confidence in each party. new zealand and australia are more independent and tend not to rely on a third party to build relationships, but rather utilize direct relationship building strategies and shortterm goals. chinese managers tend to focus more on the personal touch, feelings, and friendship while conducting business. new zealanders on the other hand do not. their primary focus was on the achievement of business goals and getting to the end state as quickly as possible. the new zealand managers focused on developing and building business relationships to achieve objectives while the chinese managers would focus on business as well as friendship. the end goal for the chinese was to build long \n 12 term business and personal relationships. as the chinese became more comfortable with the individuals in their friendships, communication would become much more direct (park, levine, weber, lee, terra, botero, & wilson, 2012). conclusion in conclusion, multinational corporations face a number of varying issues when it comes to entering a new market. the incentives for conducting business in the international environment can be lucrative, but at the same time can be challenging. the purpose of this assignment was to select four countries and evaluate the business environment for each country. the countries selected for this study were: 1) new zealand, 2) australia, 3) brazil, and 4) china. the focus of the selection was based on countries that as a business leader, i would choose to conduct business within. the criteria were based upon a preference of countries with direct communication and low context styles. the differences and challenges identified will help to further tailor the list to the ideal location. in addition, china was added to provide a variation to the above paper. the culture differences between each of the cultures were discussed not only in communication styles, but perspective, ethical perspectives, as well as advantages and disadvantages in the various environments. \n 13 references alam, k. f.

(net charge is in red under the equation) as ph decreases, the net charge of any biological system has to become more positive or less negative. titration comparison between 3 different acids + + nh4 ↔ nh 3 + h pka = 9.25 h po - ↔ hpo 2- + h+ pk = 6.86 2 4 4 a acetic acid ↔ acetate + h pk = 4.76 a \n unit 1: proteins structure of amino acids: all of the amino acids normally found in proteins (except glycine) are chiral and have the l configuration. the r group, or side chain, attached to the αcarbon is different in each amino acid. required to recognize the 20 amino acids (tests are multiple choice) and know their abbreviation major ionic form at ph 7 & nonpolar aliphatic r group glycine alanine proline valine gly, g ala, a pro, p val, v leucine isoleucine methionine leu, l ile, i met, m \n unit 1: proteins major ionic form at ph 7 & aromatic r group phenylalanine tyrosine tryptophane(e) phe, f y w major ionic form at ph 7 & polar & uncharged r group serine threonine cysteine ser, s thr, t cys, s \n unit 1: proteins asparagine glutamine asn, n gln, q major ionic form at ph 7 & positively charged & r groups lysine arginine histidine lys, k arg, r his h major ionic form at ph 7 & negatively charged & r group aspartate glutamate asp, d glu, e \n unit 1: proteins example: titration of glycine ph = 9.60 ph = 2.34 pk1 pk2 +1 0 -1 for every oh added, structure of: glycine loses an h, group acid base ~pk a range reducing its charge by 1. the carboxyl group loses a carboxyli proton before the c 1.5 to 4 ammonium group because it is a stronger acid (stronger acids lose imidazole 6 to 7 protons easier/faster than weaker acids/bases) sulfhydry 7 to 9 l amino 8 to 10 phenolic 8 to 10 guanido 11 to 13 \n unit 1: proteins example: titration of glutamic acid ph = 9.67 ph = 4.25 ph = 2.34 +1.0 +0.5 0 -0.5 -1.0 -1.5 -2.0 example: titration of histidine +1 02 pk1 ph = 9.17 \n d e h y k r amin unit 1: proteins o acid: ph: ph = 6.0 0 1 ph = 1.82 2 3 4 pkpk2 5 6 +2 01 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 \n unit 1: proteins section 1.2: proteins \n unit 1: proteins proteins are all polypeptides, but not all polypeptides are proteins peptide bonds are amides and formed by a condensation reaction - h o + 2 + h o 2 the elimination of water between amino acid 1 and amino acid 2 form the peptide bond between the two amino acids. the amino acids join between the ammonia and the carboxyl groups. peptides are named beginning with the aminoterminal residue, which by convention is placed at the left. the peptide bonds are shown here in red. structure of a protein: the primary structure = the primary sequence = the amino acid sequence. amino acids are numbered form the amino (n) terminal to the carboxyl (c) terminal. amino (n) terminal carboxyl (c) terminal \n unit 1: proteins oxidation of 2silfhydryl groups to a disulfide bond + - + + 2 h + 2 e insulins amino acids chains bind together by inter or intra disulfide bonds. in amino acids chains, specific cysteine’s will bind together. cysteine’s that are part of the same chain bond together via interdisulfide bonds while cysteine’s that are part of two different amino acid chains bond via interdisulfide bonds. huma t i n t n porcin e \" \" \" a bovin a v \" a difeerences between amino acid sequence of insulin between humans and other animals feline a v h a human insulin is made thru genetic engineering by inserting the human gene into a bacterium. the bacterium will make human insulin. before this method was developed, pig pancreases were used to harvest insulin for use by humans. (unfortunate for people whose body’s recognized the insulin to be foreign.) the greater the difference in structure between the host protein and the foreign protein, the greater chance the host sees the foreign protein as \"notoneofus\" and thus turns on the immune response against the foreign protein. porcine and bovine insulins are not on the market anymore because they are not very marketable. now, people have to purchase human insulin which sucks for animals with diabetes. \n unit 1: proteins conformation proteins are polypeptides with molecular weight of at least 10,000 on average, 1 amino acid weighs 110d example: how many amino acids are in a protein with molecular weight of 10,000? 40,000? 10,000 / 110d = 90 amino acids 40,000 / 110d = 360 amino acids example: what is the molecule weight of a protein containing 512 amino acids? 512 x 110d = 55,000 constraints are what give proteins their shape. o each peptide bond has some doublebond character due to resonance and cannot rotate. o as with all amides, the carbonyl o has a partial charge and the amide n a partial + charge. o almost (but not all) peptide bonds in proteins have this trans configuration. (resonance) a peptide bond (the 6 atoms forming the plane are in red) models of the αhelix nterminal do not confuse and alpha and double helix c atoms = green; o atoms = red; n atoms = blue; side groups = orange; h atoms are not shown. \n unit 1: proteins cterminal pitch is the distance along the alpha helix for one turn of the helix = 5.4 a rise is the distance along the alpha helix for one amino acid residue = 1.5 a or 3.6 amino acid residues per turn the dimensions are fixed and known. hydrogen bonds between atoms in the polypeptide backbone (not in the side groups) give the protein its helical structure o hydrogen bonds are weak but a bunch of them together are strong. o hydrogen bonds occur at between atoms that are four amino acids apart [ex: amino acid 100 bonds to amino acid 104, 101 bonds to 105, 102 binds to 106, etc] (n and n+4) r 1 r2 r 3 r 4 r5 r6 r 7 r8 n c c n c c n c c n c c n c c n c c n c c n c c h h o h h o h h o h h o h h o h h o h h o h h o placement of the hydrogen bonds. the red atoms share hydrogen bonds with the next red atom and etc for the rest of the colors the conformation of each and every protein must be experimentally determined. only 70% of hemoglobin or myoglobin is found to be in the helical structure. (100% keratin is in alphahelix and 0% chymotrypsinogen is in the alphahelical structure) hydrophobic interactions when molecules combined, the surface are to volume ratio decreases (this increases the stability of hydrophobic molecules) m the same concept can be applied to children and adults. children have a smaller mm surface area to volume ratio so they m loses heat faster than adults. food will also cook differently depending on the amount you cook at once because the surface area to volume ration is different. less stable: more stable: more less interaction interaction hydrophilic interactions nacl dissolves in water. na will interact with o while cl will interact with h . “like dissolves like” \n unit 1: proteins proteins have hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions hydrophobicity is the main driving force behind protein conformation general rule: hydrophobic amino acids in the interior of a folded protein; hydrophilic amino acids on the outside where they can interact with the aqueous solvent. the black spheres represent hydrophobic amino acids while the white spheres represent hydrophilic amino acids. some amino acids are amphipathic (neither hating nor loving of water/ having a passion for both) hydrophobic amino acids: f, m, i, l, v (in decreasing order of hydrophobicity) hydrophilic amino acids: h, q, n, e, k, d the rest are amphipathic (w and y can act as either hydrophobic or hydrophilic) cellular membrane ~30 å an amino acid is 1.5a long and there are 20 amino acids per 30a in a lipid bilayer 30a / (1.5a/aa) = 20 amino acids conversion: 30a = 20 amino acids \n unit 1: proteins 1.5a = 1 amino acid reminder: 1å = 10 10m the tails (hydrophobic region) in the phospholipid bilayer of the membrane often form an alphahelical structure the more bonds formed, the more stable the compound (if a carbonyl o and an amino n cannot hydrogen bond with water, they tend to hydrogen bond with themselves) most proteins are stabilized to a large extent by forming lots of h bonds but amino acids in the lipid portion of a membrane cannot form h bonds with water because water is excluded from that region. but these amino acids can form h bonds with themselves since alphahelices are an especially common and stable conformation that depends upon h bonding between amino acids alphahelices are common in hydrophobic environments oxygen and nitrogen readily form hydrogen bonds because they are so polar bacteriorhodopsin: a 7transmembrane protein the single polypeptide chain folds into seven hydrophobic α helices, each of which traverses the lipid bilayer roughly perpendicular to the plane of the membrane. transmembrane proteins transverse the membrane once nterminal outside aptactivated channel inside schematic representation showing the membrane topology of a typical p2x receptor subunit. first and second transmembrane domains are labeled tm1 and tm2. \n unit 1: proteins alphahelix is within the dynamite. px2 receptors are involved in a variety of physiological processes. [ex: apoptosis, contraction of the vas deferens during ejaculation, modulation of vascular tone, macrophage activation] integral and peripheral membrane protein an alphahelical structure generally (but not always) form in the membranespanning region of a protein o the more bonds formed, the more stable is a compound. most proteins are stabilized to a large extent by forming lots of h bonds, especially with the polypeptide backbone. but amino acids in the lipid portion of a membrane cannot form h bonds with water because water is excluded from that region. however, these amino acids can form h bonds with themselves. since alphahelices are an especially common and stable conformation that depends upon h bonding between atoms (n and o) in the polypeptide backbone alpha helices are common in hydrophobic environments. note that these h bonds are in the polypeptide backbone, not in the side groups o beta sheets can also form, since they are also stabilized by h bonds between amino acids, but they are much less common in membranespanning proteins than are alphahelices. antiparallel betapleated sheets there can be several layers of amino acid chains (only two layers are shown for simplicity) n c c n the hydrogen bonds in antiparallel betasheets are linear (and hence stronger than the bent h bonds in parallel betasheets). \n unit 1: proteins n c parallel betapleated sheet n c the hydrogen bonds in parallel betasheets are bent (instead of being linear). antiparallel beta pleated sheets more stable than parallel bsheets more common than parallel parallel beta pleated sheets \n unit 1: proteins r groups alternate up and down beta sheets are often twisted, not flat the arrow points to the c terminal betabarrel structure found in porins nonhelical structure tertiary structure of a protein folding of the 2° structural elements plus the spatial arrangements of the aminoacid side chains denaturation is the disruption of conformation without breaking peptide bonds. proteins unfold (results in loss of biological activity which is usually irreversible) [ex: heating, alcohol, high/low ph] \n unit 1: proteins egg whites will lose solubility when it is cooked (eggs have to be denatured before being eaten because the enzymes have to get to the peptide bonds to digest the egg) fevers develop in order to denature the virus alcohol is used to sterilize by denaturing bacteria (the bacteria lose biological activity) changing ph also changes charge. (repel or attract proteins) folding proteins proteins are synthesized in an unfolded state. folding is directed by auxiliary proteins. the primary sequence also helps a protein fold correctly. o many problems in the biotech industry is incorrect folding incorrect folding results in cystic fibrosis, alzheimer’s disease, mad cow disease, etc quaternary structure many proteins have more than one polypeptide (subunits) a human cell contains about 20,000 different proteins. contains about 100,000,000 proteins in total \n units 1: proteins section 1.3: hemoglobin & myoglobin myo means muscle and globin means blood: myoglobin is a protein found in the muscle while hemoglobin is found in blood. many require cofactors and a prosthetic group cofactor: a small molecule required for the biological activity of a protein prosthetic group: a cofactor tightly bound to the protein via covalent bond(s) myoglobin and hemoglobin: mb + o mb-o 2 2 the porphyrin ring hb + o hb-o system 2 2 the structure of the cofactor, heme porphyrins consist of 4 pyrrole rings linked by methene bridges structure is more or less planar there is continuous resonance over the entire protoporphyrin ring system. the iron must be in +2 redox state to function 2 to bind to o and f8 histidine), must have 6 bonds 2+ 3+ o fe is red while fe is brown myoglobin showing heme cofactor 8 alpha helical structures bound by primary sequence structures 153 amino acids in human myoglobin c-terminal molecular weight is 17,199d n-terminal \n units 1: proteins a coordinate covalent bond is a covalent bond (i.e., shared electrons between 2 atoms) where one atom alone provides both electrons. hemoglobin in red blood cells found only in erythrocytes (red blood cells) has quaternary structure (alpha 2 beta 2) (unlike myoglobin) and 4 subunits each subunit of hemoglobin molecule has 1 heme; 4 hemes per 1 hemoglobin; 4 o 2can bind to a hemoglobin structure of human deoxyhemoglobin: the alpha subunits are in blue; the beta subunits in purple; alpha chain of hemoglobin: molecular weight is 15,126d 141 amino acids beta chain of hemoglobin: molecular weight is 15, 867d 146 amino acids respiratory system in invertebrates takes up oxygen in lugs/gills and the hemoglobin binds oxygen. the hemoglobin transports oxygen through the arteries to the peripheral tissue. the oxygen is released and can be used for metabolism producing co 2 some of the oxygen is bound to myoglobin in muscle. the co 2nd bicarbonate is transported through blood (in veins) (by hemoglobin) and out of body. oxygen concentration in lungs is higher than in tissue erythrocytes red blood cells (erythro=red, cyte=cell) adults have ~25 trillion erythrocytes ~280 million hemoglobin molecules in 1 erythrocyte allosteric proteins is a protein whose functional site can be altered by the binding of a small molecule at a non overlapping site. \n units 1: proteins it is triggered to alter its function in response to the binding of a target compound (allosteric ligand) at a site that is distal from the active site of the protein allosteric ligands bind at the allosteric site, resulting in conformational changes that alter the functional site(s) allosteric ligand = allosteric effector (may be + or ) functional site allosteric site allosteric ligand (+ or cooperativity is a - effector) type of an allosteric regulation (allosteric ligand or effector) binding of the ligand to one site on the protein affects the binding properties of a different site on the same protein can be positive or negative modulation of biological activity (↑ or ↓ functionality) in cooperativity, the allosteric ligand is both a functional ligand for the pro2ein (e.g., o for hemoglobin; a substrate for an enzyme), as well as an allosteric modulator of the protein's activity it is generally an activator of the protein o e.g., o 2is a positive allosteric effector of hemoglobin as well as the biological ligand at the active site oxygen binding curves for myoglobin and hemoglobin % deoxymb or % oxymb or deoxyhb dexoyhb \n units 1: proteins mb lungs hba (sea level) mb + o ↔ mb(o ) 2 2 tissues hb + n o ↔ 2 partial pressure of oxygen (torr) myoglobin has a hyperbolic curve while hemoglobin has a sigmoid shaped curve myoglobin contains 1 polypeptide while hemoglobin contains 4 polypeptides making hemoglobin it a quaternary structure. this is why the curves are different hemoglobin does not release all of the oxygen it picks up, some of it returns to the lungs fraction saturation = bound2o / total heme groups % saturation = fraction saturation x 100 torr = 1mm hg at 0 c = 0.133 kpa 760 torr = 1 atm 750 torr = 100 kpa deoxyhemoglobin has several salt bonds (formed because of positive and negatively charged atoms) that stabilize the “t state” shape. oxyhemoglobin does not have salt bonds, it is in the “r state” shape. o t (deoxyhb) = tight, tense, taut o r (oxyhb) = relaxed the binding of oxygen to heme iron in myoglobin or hemoglobin the conformation of deoxy is more curved than the oxy conformation his (f8) his (f8) \n units 1: proteins deoxy (t state) oxy (r state) when a molecule of oxygen binds to a heme, the heme iron ion is drawn into the plane of the porphyrin ring in its respective subunit. this causes the same conformational change in the other three subunits, increasing the affinity of their heme groups for oxygen. deoxyhemoglobin resists oxygenation because it is stabilized by hydrogen bonds and salt bridges in its tense state (oxygenation will break these stabilizing interactions) color of blood color of blood in arteries is bright red while the color of blood in veins is dull red the iron gives blood its red color in the arteries, iron binds 6 oxygen. iron binds 5 oxygen’s in veins. conformation of oxy and deoxyhemoglobin oxy (r) deoxy (t) sequential model for binding of o2 by hemoglobin 2,3bisphosphoglycerate (bpg) \n units 1: proteins = glycerate % sa effect of bpg on binding of oxygen to hemoglobin tur no bpg ati on 5 mm bpg 8 mm bpg partial pressure of oxygen without bpg, hemoglobin is not functional because it is shifted so far to the left, it would not deliver oxygen to the tissue. (0xy form has been stabilized) • shift of the oxygen-binding curve for hemoglobin to the right = shift of the oxygen-binding curve for hemoglobin down = stabilizing the t state (deoxy form) of hemoglobin • shift of the oxygen-binding curve for hemoglobin to the left = shift of the oxygen-binding curve for hemoglobin up = stailone adaptation to higher altitudes is to increase bpg production stabilizing the deoxy form of hemoglobin and delivering more oxygen to tissue one bpg binds to the beta subunits of deoxyhemoglobin in the middle of the molecule by its negative charges binding to the positive charges on the side groups of the hemoglobin as oxygen binds, less bpg binds stabilizing the oxy (r) form and vice versa deoxyhb (t) \n units 1: proteins another way of showing this balancing act: hb-o intermediate deoxyhb + o 2 2 oxygen is picked up in the lungs/gills and transported through the arteries by hemoglobin the tissue or stores (for aquatic invertebrates). once the oxygen has been utilized carbon dioxide is transported back to the lungs through veins. effect of ph on binding of oxygen to hemoglobin ph 7.6 ph 7.4 ph 7.2 when co 2 dissolves in water in tissue, phartial pressure of oxygen (torr) decreases and the oxygen binding curve shifts to the right/down, stabilizing the deoxy form. as co2 is removed the ph increases and the oxy form is stabilized effect of ph on the conformation of hemoglobin when ph decreases (increases in ionic bonds/hydrogen concentration increases) the deoxy form is favored and vise versa comparative binding of oxygen to hba and hbf hba = alpha beta hbf = alpha gamma the fetal hemoglobin curve sits to the left of the adult hemoglobin. the fetal hemoglobin favors the oxy form (r) form. fetal oxygen binds more oxygen than adult hemoglobin o when adult and fetal hemoglobin pass each other in capillaries, the fetal hemoglobin “steals” oxygen form the adult hemoglobin and binds oxygen more tightly. \n units 1: proteins hbf hba hb + n o ↔ % 2 hb(o ) 2 n partial pressure of oxygen (torr) difference between the hbabeta chain and the hbfgamma chain: enfrllgnvl vcvlahhfgk eftppvqaay qkvvagvana lahkyh enfkllgnvl vtvlaihfgk eftpevqasw qkmvtavasa lssryh (ser instead of hisb143) ser has no charge (unlike his which is positively charged) so there are reactions in hbf that are missing binding of 2,3bisphosphoglycerate to beta chain of deoxyhemoglobin bpg binds less tightly in hbf, therefore there is less shift toward the deoxy form. because the oxy form is more favored in hbf than in hba, hbf can steal oxygen form hba in hbf, the amino acid at position beta 143 is ser, which does not have an ionic side group and thus does not ionically bond the negativelycharged bpg, thus lowering the affinity of the hemoglobin for bpg. this shifts the oxygenbinding curve toward the right (or up or toward the r form of hemoglobin). thus hbf can \"steal\" oxygen from maternal hba. ser in gam deoxy ser in gam \n units 1: proteins adults retain some of their fetal hemoglobin persistent fetal hemoglobinemia: disorder that causes adult to produce fetal hemoglobin instead of normal hemoglobin. there are no major or minor symptoms and people live normal lives. hemoglobin’s (and all globins) have invariant positions that require certain amino acids (like his at the f8 position or gly in the b6 position). o the his binds to the iron in heme which is required for life and cannot be changed. o gly has a the smallest side groups so the b helix can pass by (fit by) the e helix section 1.4: enzymes almost all enzymes are proteins. they have a binding site and a catalytic site. they speed up the rate of a reaction. o enzymes do not alter the equilibrium constant or the concentrations. enzymes shorten the time it takes to reach equilibrium o enzymes are specific as to which reactions they catalyze and substrates they bind to substrates must collide a the correct orientation and have more energy than the product to react enzymes only bind substrates at substratebinding sites \n units 1: proteins e + s es ep e + p e = enzyme (specifically the substrate-binding site) s = substrate es = the enzyme-substrate complex ep = the enzyme-product complex p = product substratebinding site = those amino acids in the enzyme involved in binding the substrate(s) active site = those amino acids in the enzyme directly involved in catalysis o the substratebinding site and the active site always overlap (where the substrate binds is where catalysis occurs) substrate binding and induced fit induced fit: when a substrate binds to the substratebinding site on an enzyme, the conformation of the enzyme changes. \n units 1: proteins the rate of reaction slows with time. as a reaction approaches equilibrium the rate slows as substrate concentration increases the rate of reaction increases but the initial rate of reaction does not change with substrate concentration v0 = how fast p forms (or s disappears) when there is no reverse rx the maximum velocity, vmaxis extrapolated from the plot, becau0e v approaches but never quite reaches vmax the substrate concentration at whic0 v is half maximam is k , the michaelis

results 0n a v of 1/2 of the maximal initial velocity (vmax) vmax[s] km + [s] \n units 1: proteins michaelis-menten equation: v = ------------ 0 if [s] is low, km tends to be low as the substrate concentration increases, the concentration of the enzymesubstrate complex increases until all the binding sites on the enzyme are occupied (= saturating concentration of this is three differnet experiments substrate) km values differ greatly. they cannot be predicted. they must be determined experimentally o km is independent of enzyme concentration if [s] << m , rate is relatively slow but have \"fine\" control of rate (v ) by varying [s] if [s] >> m , rate is close to max but have less control oo rate (v ) by varying [s] if v is high, the rate of a reaction tends to be high and vice versa max v max = 1.0, 0.7, 0.3 mm per min km is the same for all three enzymes v 0 (mm per min) vmaxepends on 2 major parameters substrate concentration (mm) 1) vmax is proportional to [enzyme] decrease [enzyme] by 50%, vmax will decrease by 50% 2) total vmax is proportional to the vmax for a single enzyme molecule competitive inhibition competitive inhibition can be overcome by increasing the concentration of substrate so that there are so many substrate molecules that they out compete the inhibitor \n units 1: proteins competitive inhibitors typically have structures similar enough to the structure of the substrate that they \"fool\" the enzyme active site into binding them. however, the inhibitor structure does not allow the reaction to proceed to produce product. in competitive i, the competitive inhibitors bind to the enzyme's active site. in the presence of a competitive inhibitor: vmax is not altered; km is increase. (it takes more substrate for vo to reach 1/2 vmax) v0 (i) = \"km \" = (mm per min) 0 mm 1 mm 10 mm 6 mm substrate concentration (mm) 50 mm 26 mm antifreeze ingestion (ethylene glycol poisoning) is countered with alcohol. o the ethanol competes with ethylene glycol for the same binding site on alcohol dehydrogenase. as the ethanol concentration increases, less ethylene glycol can bind to the active site and thus formation of toxic glycolaldehyde is slowed. after about a day, the very watersoluble ethylene glycol is excreted by the kidneys. carbon monoxide can bind to the iron in hemoglobin causing carbon monoxide poisoning o counteract by increasing the oxygen concentration where oxygen can compete with the carbon monoxide. (carbon monoxide binds more tightly to iron than oxygen) \n units 1: proteins ph optimum for the activity of an enzyme these curves are constructed from measurements of initial velocities when the reaction is carried out in buffers of different ph. the ph optimum for the activity of an enzyme is generally close to the ph of the environment in which the enzyme is normally found. pepsin chymotrypsin relative reaction velocity 1 3 5 7 9 11 ph optimal temperature of an enzyme the rate of almost all chemical reactions increase with increased temperature since enzymecatalyzed reactions depend on the native conformation of the enzyme, thermal denaturation of the catalyst is a competing process thermal denaturation of the enzyme no relative velocity yes temperature (k) \n units 1: proteins optimal temperature and ph is an adaptation of the cell to exist in its environment \n unit 1: protein section 1.5: enzyme mechanisms 1 chymotrypsin is a protease in the small intestine that helps digest proteins to amino acids. it is synthesized and stored in the pancreases until it is needed. has three polypeptide chains held together by disulfide bonds his57, asp102, and ser195 are involved in the mechanism h2o + the amino acid on the nterminal (r1) is usually, f, y, or w chymotrypsin is an endopeptidase o an endopeptidase catalyzes the hydrolysis of a peptide bond that is not at the nterminal or c terminal site (catalyzes a peptide bond that is on the \"inside\" of the peptide) basecatalyzed hydrolysis of a peptide bond hoh + + 7 but the biological reaction must proceed at ph ~7 where (oh ) is far too low (~10 m) o solution: use a ro oxyanion as the base o problem: alcohols are not acidic in water; they aave a pk ~16. the only way to create ro at pk ~7 is to ↓ pa of the alcohol (roh from ~16 to ~8 ) outline of mechanism of serine proteases 1st product + + + \n unit 1: protein (must ↓ pk af the serine alcohol from ~16 to ~8 so can form ro to act as base to attack the carbonyl c) + + + 2nd product first (as with any enzyme) the substrate binds to the substratebinding site on chymotrypsin. now the sero atom must attain enough of a charge to attack the electrophilic carbonyl c of the substrate peptide bond (shown as a thick black bond in the slide). since an alcohol is normally not an aciddissociable group in water (remember that pure vodka is not sour; pka for water ≈ 14; pka for ethanol ≈ 16), the ser hydroxyl needs some help to lower its ak sufficiently so that the o takes on basic properties (i.e., has a charge) so it can attack the carbonyl c in the substrate. o this help comes from the adjacent base form of imidazole which can attract the hydroxyl h while the hydroxyl o is attacking the carbonyl c of the substrate. mechanism of serine protease: the catalytic triad substrate the adjacent imidazole group (in the base form)lowers the pka of the serine hydroxyl from ~16 to a low enough value so that the o atom can serve as a base (i.e., have a charge) to attack the carbonyl c atom of the substrate peptide bond. but the imidazole group by itself cannolower the pka of the oh group sufficiently; it needs the adjacent negative charge on the asp side chain traise the pka of the imidazole group (which is normally ~6 to 7) so it can interact with the ser to make the hyrdroxyl o more electronegative (= nucleophilic). \n unit 1: protein when a pk aecreases, the base form is stabilized; when a ak increases, the acid form is stabilized. the tetrahedral c intermediate is stabilized by the oxyanion hole, which we do not discuss here (even though it is very important). but remember that a tetrahedral c with 3 o or n atoms attached is inherently unstable; one of the co or cn bonds will likely break. another way of stating this: the charge on the adjacent asp carboxylate stabilizes the acid form (with a + charge) of the imidazole group; i.e., tha pk for the imidazole group significantly from the \"usual\" value of 6 to 7. this allows the uncharged imidazole group to act as a stronger base (since the acid form is more stable now); i.e., extract a proton from the serine alcohol group. the unstable tetrahedral intermediate breaks the cn bond (the original peptide bond in the substrate) to split the original peptide into 2 smaller peptides: o the product peptide with the new nterminal is transiently bonded to the imidazole group; the peptide product with the new cterminal group is still covalently attached to the enzyme via an ester bond with the ser hyrdroxyl group. o the imidazole group returns to the base (uncharged) form. h hoh r' n h + 1st product (shorter peptide with the base fonew n-terminal amino acidcts)a proton from water allowing a hydroxide (with charge) to attack the electrophilic c of the ester. net effecta ↓ pk of water = ↑ the (ho). \n unit 1: protein now water (which is actually a substrate in this reaction) comes into play. it displaces the peptide product with the new nterminal;

"text": " chapter 7 – sensory physiology five classes of sensory receptors – there are 5 classes of sensory receptors that detect different stimuli. one important thing to note is that the term receptor has two distinct meanings. one refers to sensory receptors and the other refers to proteins on plasma membranes or inside cells. so we have sensory receptors and protein receptors. a stimulus is the energy or chemical that impinges upon and activates a sensory receptor. an adequate stimulus is the type of stimulus to which a particular sensory receptor responds in normal functioning. a sensory transduction is when the stimulus is transferred into an electrical response. furthermore, any given sensory receptor gives rise to only one sensation. the following lists the 5 classes of sensory receptors: 1. mechanoreceptors – respond to mechanical stimuli such as pressure and stretch, and are responsible for touch, blood pressure, and muscle tension. 2. thermoreceptors – detect sensations of cold or warmth 3. photoreceptors – respond to particular ranges of light wavelengths 4. chemoreceptors – respond to the binding of particular chemicals to protein receptors on the sensory receptor membrane 5. nociceptors – specialized neuronal endings that respond to a number of different stimuli, such as heat or tissue damage receptor potential – in sensory receptors, the transduction process begins with the opening of ion channels either directly or through a secondmessenger system. these channels are either located on the distal end of the axon or on a special receptor cell, that transfers neurotransmitters to the dendrite of another afferent neuron. receptor potential is the change in graded potential caused by ion channels allowing an influx across the sensory receptor membrane. so, to reiterate, ion channels are the main source of creating receptor potential (graded potential) on the receptor membrane to eventually an action potential if the graded potential is strong enough to reach the axon’s voltagegated na channels. also, the more intense the graded potential, the more frequently the action potential fires, up to its limit due to the absolute refractory period. adaptation is a decrease in sensory receptor sensitivity, which results in a decrease in action potential frequency. primary sensory coding – coding is the conversion of stimulus energy into a signal that conveys the relevant sensory information to the central nervous system. important characteristics of a stimulus are as follows: type of energy, intensity, and location. 1. stimulus type – this is called modality. the type of sensory receptor a stimulus activates plays the primary role in coding the stimulus modality. a given sensory receptor is particularly sensitive to only one modality. also, the receptive fields for different modalities overlap, so that a single stimulus, such as an ice cube on the skin, can give rise to sensations of pressure and temperature at the same time. \n 2. stimulus intensity – as the strength of a local stimulus increases, receptors on adjacent branches of the same afferent neuron are activated, resulting in a summation of their local currents. stronger stimuli also tend to affect a larger area and activate similar receptors on the endings of other afferent neurons. 3. stimulus location – this refers to where the stimulus is being applied. stimulus location is coded by the site of sensory receptor, which sends an action potential along specific anatomical pathways, called labeled lines, to a specific region of the cns associated with that particular modality and location. sensory information pathway – a sensory pathway is also known as an afferent sensory pathway. these chains of afferent neurons travel in parallel bundles to the cns. in the cns, they synapse with ascending pathways, which project up to the brain. there are 2 types of ascending pathways: 1. specific ascending pathway – the ascending pathways in the spinal cord and brain that carry information about only single types of stimuli (different types of receptors). they pass through the brainstem and thalamus and then go to specific sensory areas of the cerebral cortex (except olfactory pathways). these specific sensory areas are called primary cortical areas. a. somatosensory cortex – a strip of cortex that lies in the parietal lobe which gets information from somatic receptors from the outer parts of the body including skin, skeletal muscle, tendons, and joints. b. visual cortex – located in the occipital lobe which gets information from the eyes. c. auditory cortex – located in the temporal lobe which gets information from the ears. d. olfactory cortex – located on the undersurface of the frontal and temporal lobes which gets information from the olfactory projections. 2. nonspecific ascending pathway – activated by sensory units of several different types and therefore signals general information. they just indicated that something is happening. cortical association – cortical association areas are brain areas that lie outside the primary cortical areas but are adjacent to them. unlike primary cortical areas, cortical association areas are not considered part of the sensory pathways, but are important in the perception of senses. after information is sent to the primary cortical areas, it is then relayed to the cortical association areas for further processing. some of the neurons in the in the cortical association areas can receive and integrate input from more than one type of sensory stimuli (multiple primary cortical areas get processed by a single cortical association area). an example is vision and neck position causing an awareness of head position. therefore, cortical association areas are involved in complicated perception. factors that affect perception include: \n 1. receptor adaptation 2. emotions, experience and personality 3. not all stimuli give rise to conscious sensation a. blood pressure in arteries 4. lack of receptors for certain stimuli a. radio waves 5. damaged neural pathways 6. drugs short summary of neural happenings: 1. 1+ type of receptors can exist in a sensation area (eyes, skin, ears, etc.) 2. the action potentials from the sensation area travel to their respective primary cortical area via ascending pathways 3. 1+ primary cortical areas can relay information to 1+ cortical association areas a. ability of cortical association areas gives rise to various perceptions somatic sensation – this describes sensations from the skin, muscles, bones, tendons, and joints and is initiated by a variety of sensory receptors (mechanoreceptors, chemoreceptors, and thermoreceptors all give rise to the sensation of ‘touch”). touch and pressure are associated with mechanoreceptors. some of these mechanoreceptors adapt quickly, so that they only fire when the stimulus is changing. fastadapting mechanoreceptors give rise to touch, movement, and vibration. on the other hand, some mechanoreceptors adapt slowly which give rise to pressure. spatial discrimination happens according to the size of the receptor field. for example, some receptors have small, well defined receptor fields, like in the fingertips. 4 receptors are prevalent in somatosensory systems: 1. meissner’s corpuscle – fastadapting mechanoreceptor (touch and pressure) 2. merkle’s corpuscle – slowadapting mechanoreceptor (touch and pressure) 3. pacinian corpuscle – fastadapting mechanoreceptor (vibration and deep pressure) 4. ruffini corpuscle – slowadapting mechanoreceptor (skin stretch) neural pathways of somatosensory systems – peripheral afferent nerve fibers from somatic receptors synapse on neurons that form specific ascending pathways projecting into the somatosensory cortex via the brainstem and thalamus. all peripheral afferent nerve fibers either synapse on the anterolateral pathway (ascending pathway) in the gray matter in the spinal cord, or enter the dorsal column pathway (ascending pathway) in the white matter where the fibers do not synapse until they reach the brainstem. once inside the somatosensory cortex, the endings of axons from specific somatic pathways are grouped according to peripheral location. visible light – light is anything in the visible spectrum. the wavelengths capable of stimulating receptors in the eye range from about 400 to 750 nm. different wavelengths of light within this band are perceived as color. \n anatomy of the eye: photoreceptors – first of all, accommodation refers to the adjustments made for distance due to changes in lens shape. the retina is an extension of the central nervous system that contains photoreceptors. the two types of photoreceptors are called cones and rods. 1. rods – respond to very low levels of illumination 2. cones – respond only to high levels of illumination light passes all the way through all cell layers into the back of the retina, where the rods and cones are located. directly behind the retina is a layer called the pigment epithelium. this layer absorbs light so that there is no reflection and scattering back on the photoreceptors, which would cause an image to blur. photoreceptors contain molecules called photopigments, which absorb light. rods contain rhodopsin. all photopigments contain membrane proteins called opsins, which surround and bind to a chromophore (retinal) molecule. chromophores are light sensitive molecules. the opsin in each photoreceptor is different and binds to chromophores in different ways, causing each photopigment to absorb light at a specific energy. photoreceptors ← photopigments (opsins) ← chromophore (retinal) \n phototransduction – each photoreceptor contains over a billion photopigments (opsins). photoreceptors act in reverse to many other sensory receptors in that its resting state is depolarized. photoreceptors hyperpolarize in response to an adequate stimulus. the following outlines the steps of phototransduction: 1. guanylyl cyclase (an enzyme) converts gtp into a high concentration of intracellular cgmp. 2. cgmp (a ligand) maintains the ligandgated ion cation channels open, so there is a + 2+ persistent influx of na and ca . a. therefore, in the dark, cgmp concentrations are high and the photoreceptor is depolarized. also, there are a lot of intracellular cations in the dark. 3. light shines on a chromophore (retinal) molecule, changing its shape. 4. the change in chromophore shape alters the shape of the opsin. 5. opsin interacts with transducin, a gprotein receptor. 6. transducin activates the enzyme, cgmpphosphodiesterase, which degrades cgmp. 7. cation channels close. 8. the membrane potential hyperpolarizes to produce the sensation of light. photoreceptor adaption – there are 2 types of adaptation: 1. dark adaptation – vision is only supplied by the rods in a dark room. in a lighted area, rhodopsin is completely activated. restoration to resting state (of the chromophore) takes several minutes. once at its resting state, retinal becomes light sensitive again. 2. light adaptation – rods are overwhelmingly activated as the retinal receives a lot of light energy at once. eventually, rhodopsin is inactivated and the rods become unresponsive so that only less sensitive cones are operating. neural pathways of vision – light signals are converted to action potentials through the interaction of photoreceptors with bipolar cells and ganglion cells (clusters of neurons in the cns). photoreceptors and bipolar cells undergo graded potentials in response to the hyperpolarization of rods and cones. photoreceptors interact with bipolar and ganglion cells in 2 ways, called the onpathway and the offpathway. in both pathways, photoreceptors are depolarized in the absence of light, causing the neurotransmitter glutamate to be released onto bipolar cells. in the presence of light, photoreceptors are hyperpolarized and glutamate is not released. from here, the pathways differ: 1. onpathway – light hyperpolarizes photoreceptors, causing glutamate release to stop. in these bipolar cells, glutamate receptors are inhibitory, so the absence of glutamate depolarizes the bipolar cell. this causes an increase in the frequency of action potentials. 2. offpathway – light hyperpolarizes photoreceptors, causing glutamate release to stop. in these bipolar cells, glutamate receptors are excitatory, so the absence of glutamate hyperpolarizes the bipolar cell, causing a decrease in the frequency of action potentials. \n the axons of the ganglia form the output from the retina, which is called the optic nerve (cranial nerve ii). the two optic nerves meet at the base of the brain to form the optic chiasm, where the fibers cross and travel within the optic tracts to the opposite side of the brain into the visual cortex. color vision – this begins with the activation of photopigments in cone photoreceptor cells. there are 3 types of cones: red, green, and blue. with any wavelength of incoming light, the different cones respond with different graded potentials. anatomy of the ear: sound transmission – sound waves enter the external auditory canal. air molecules push against the tympanic membrane, causing it to vibrate at the same frequency as the sound wave. the middle ear cavity is exposed to atmospheric pressure via the eustachian tube which is connected to the pharynx through slits. when the slits are closed, and the pressure changes, the pressure stretches the tympanic membrane and causes pain. 1. sound waves vibrate the tympanic membrane. 2. vibrations enter the middle ear. \n 3. the malleus, incus, and stapes amplify the sound pressure through the oval window and into the cochlea. the total force applied to the tympanic membrane and oval window are the same, but the force per unit area in the oval window is much higher. 4. the cochlear duct is a membranous tube within cochlea. the cochlear duct is filled with fluid called endolymph, which is similar in electrolyte composition to intracellular fluid. outside the cochlear duct is filled with perilymph. the scala vestibuli is above the cochlear duct and begins at the oval window. the scala tympani are below the cochlear duct and begin at the round window. anyways, waves of pressure are created in the scala vestibuli. this pressure is transmitted into the cochlear duct and dissipated by the round window at the scala tympani. 5. the side of the cochlear duct nearest the scala tympani is the basilar membrane, which sits the organ of corti that contains the ear’s sensory receptor cells. the sound waves from step 4 cause the basilar membrane to vibrate. hair cells of the organ of corti – receptor cells of the organ of corti are called hair cells. hair cells are mechanoreceptors. there are two types of hair cells, inner and outer hair cells. the tectorial membrane overlies the organ of corti, and embeds the projections of the outer hair cells. when there is pressure in the cochlea, the basilar membrane is displaced, and mechanically gated ion channels open in the hair cells. this causes depolarization, creating influx of ca from voltagegated calcium channels, triggering release of the neurotransmitter, glutamate. this causes generation of an action potential in the neurons, whose axons form the cochlear branch of the vestibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve viii). finally, low frequency sounds distort the helioctrema region while high frequency sounds distort the region closest to the middle ear. cochlear fibers synapse in the brainstem. the interneurons send information through the thalamus and into the auditory complex in the temporal lobe. vestibular system – the vestibular system consists of the vestibular apparatus, a series of membranous tubes that connect with the cochlear duct. the vestibular apparatus consists of 3 semicircular canals and two saclike swellings called the utricle and saccule. 1. semicircular canals – the 3 semicircular canals are oriented in the 3 main 3d planes so rotation can be detected. receptor cells are located in 3 gelatinous masses (1 for each semicircular canal) called the cupula, which is encapsulated by a bulge called the ampulla. during head movement, the ampulla is pushed against the stationary endolymph fluid, causing the bending of hair cells, which alters the release of neurotransmitters. 2. the utricle and saccule – the utricle and saccule provide information about linear movement due to changes in head movement relative to the forces of gravity. the hair cells of the utricle and saccule are covered by a gelatinous substance in which tiny stones called otoliths are embedded. the otoliths (calcium carbonate crystals) make the \n gelatinous fluid heavier than the endolymph, so the gel will move according to the forces of gravity and will pull against the hair cells so the mechanoreceptors are stimulated. a. utricle – hair cells point straight up (respond when you tip your tip) b. saccule – hair cells are at right angles (respond when you go from lying to standing)",

all components of blood move together o branching allows all cells to be within 2 layers from blood vessels (specifically capillaries) for nutrient/metabolic waste product exchange (diffusion and mediated transport) o pulmonary circulation (right ventricle via the pulmonary trunk lungs (pulmonary arteries from trunk go to each lung) left atrium via pulmonary veins) o systemic circulation (left ventricle via the aorta body right atrium via the inferior vena cava and the superior vena cava) allows systemic tissues to receive oxygenated blood and independent variation in blood flow through different tissues as needed (figure 12.6) portal system: unique system used by liver and anterior pituitary glands for blood circulation o arteries arterioles capillaries: blood moving away from heart o capillaries venules veins: blood moving towards heart o microcirculation: arterioles, capillaries, venules o left side of the heart has high oxygen content, right side has low oxygen content 12.2 – pressure, flow, and resistance hemodynamics: collective term for all 3 factors o blood flow (f): always from regions of high to low pressure o hydrostatic pressure = pressure (p): force exerted by blood, generated by heart contractions (l/min; δp in mmhg) \n o resistance (r): how difficult it is for blood to flow between two points at any given pressure difference; can only be measured by f and δp greater viscosity, greater length of tube, or smaller radius = greater resistance r=1/r 4 o f=∆ p/r applies to flow through blood vessels and through heart chambers (resistance comes from valves in this case) ultimate function of circulatory system: ensure adequate blood flow through capillaries of various organs 12.3 – anatomy general structures o pericardium: protective fibrous sac surrounding heart o epicardium: fibrous layer in between pericardium and heart o myocardium: wall of the heart, cardiac muscle cells, lined on inside with endothelial cells (endothelium) o interventricular septum: separates right and left ventricles o atrioventricular valves (av valves): separates atrium and ventricle; one way blood flow atrium ventricle; open/close passively due to pressure differences (opens when atrial pressure is higher; closed with high ventricular pressure) tricuspid valve: right side bicuspid valve: left side (aka mitral valve) chordae tendineae: fibrous strands connected valves to papillary muscles to prevent valves from inverting (prolapse; can occur with injury and disease) o semilunar valves: pulmonary and aortic valves; open/close passively due to pressure differences to ensure blood moves in one direction through heart o there are no valves at entrances of superior and inferior venae cavae or pulmonary veins atrial contraction is enough to constrict backflow cardiac muscle o cardiac muscle cells in myocardium must be very resilient to come together and exert pressure on blood enclosed during a contraction only 1% of heart cells are replaced per year o entire heart (all cells) contract with each beat 3 billion contractions without rest in a lifetime o innervation by sympathetic (entire heart; release norepinephrine for beta adrenergic receptors) and parasympathetic (special cells in atria; release ach for muscarinic receptors) nerve fibers blood supply o no exchange of nutrients/metabolic waste occurs until blood passes through capillaries \n coronary arteries: arteries supplying myocardium (coronary blood flow) so cells can exchange nutrients/waste products 12.4 – heartbeat coordination efficient pumping of blood requires that the atria contract first, followed almost immediately by the ventricles o contraction is triggered by depolarization starting at the sinoatrial (sa) node in right atrium near entrance of superior vena cava; gap junctions allow this to happen quickly/excite entire heart o sa node acts as pacemaker for heart, determines heart rate sequence of excitation: o action potential in sa node depolarization spreads through atria atrioventricular (av) node at base of right atrium (connected to sa node via internodal pathways) through ventricles via bundle of his divides into left and right bundle branches that reach bottom of heart/walls of ventricles propagation of action potentials through av node is slow; atria will contract first and ventricles will contract when atria relax fiber bundles are composed of pukinje fibers: large diameter, rapid conduction, low resistance gap junctions myocardial cell action potentials + + o resting membrane is more permeable to k than na = negative resting membrane potential; depolarizing is due to influx of na + + + o na depolarization transient k repolarization depolarized plateau 2+ound 0 mv as k permeability declines and ca enters cell (ltype ca channels: long lasting) ca channels inactivate, k exits and causes repolarization o ventricular cells have a longer plateau than atrial cells nodal cell action potentials o pacemaker potential: gradual depolarization of the sa node (does not have a steady resting potential) that causes an action potential when threshold is eventually reached; contributed to by: + progressive reduction in k permeability unique set of channels that open at negative membrane potential values (f (funny)type channels for na influx) 2+ t(transient)type ca channels: opens briefly and gives important final depolarizing boost o sa node is brought to threshold faster than av node due to pacemaker currents automaticity: ability of sa node for spontaneous, rhythmic self excitation (inherent rate is about 100 depolarizations per minute) determines how quickly threshold is reached/action potential is generated o pacemaker mechanism creates action potential depolarizing due to ca (not 2+ na ) slow transmission of cardiac excitation to av node repolarization \n o ectopic pacemakers: when slower inherent pacemaker rates of other cells in conducting system create own rhythm (still driven to threshold by sa node) av conduction disorder: reduction/elimination of action potential transmission from sa node to av node due to disease/druginduced malfunction of av node; cause ectopic pacemakers to start very slow (2540 beats/min); causes ventricles to contract out of synch with atria fix av conduction disorders with artificial pacemaker electrocardiogram (ecg or ekg): tool for evaluating electrical events in the heart o recording electrodes detect currents running through fluids surrounding heart after action potentials in multiple cells (not direct record of changes in membrane potential across individual cells) o shows p wave (atrial depolarization), qrs complex (ventricular depolarization), t wave (ventricular repolarization) atrial repolarization takes place during qrs complex; cannot be seen o ecg leads record at different locations on limbs and chest for comparison o use to diagnose myocardial defects excitationcontra2+ion coupling o when ca influxes into cell through ltype channels and creates plateau, ryanodine receptors in sarcoplasmic reticulum are stimulated to release even more ca ca activates thin filaments muscle contraction ca returns to 2+ + 2+ sarcoplasmic reticulum via ca atpase pumps and na /ca countertransporters o more ca released = stronger contraction (i.e. during exercise) refractory period o summation of contractions is impossible due to long absolute refractory period unlike skeletal muscle; absolute refractory period lasts almost as long as contraction (250 msec) 12.5 – mechanical events of the cardiac cycle cardiac cycle: recurring cycle of atrial and ventricular contractions and relaxations o two major phases: systole (ventricular contraction and blood ejection) and diastole (ventricular relaxation and blood filling) systole can be broken down into isovolumetric ventricular contraction (contraction of ventricles while valves are closed, increases ventricular bp and develops tension, but muscle does not shorten) and ventricular ejection (pressure in ventricles exceeds pressure in aorta/pulmonary trunk, valves open, muscles shorten to push blood out) stroke volume (sv): volume of blood ejected from each ventricle during systole diastole can be broken down into isovolumetric ventricular relaxation (ventricles begin to relax while valves are closed), ventricular filling (av valves open to allow blood flow), and atrial contraction \n o ***see page 381 in textbook for a really indepth explanation of cardiac cycle (timing of pressure/electrical/mechanical changes) o at rest, 80% of ventricular filling occurs before atrial contraction (early diastole) ensures that filling is not seriously impaired during periods when the heart is beating rapidly and that diastole duration is reduced heart rates greater than 200 beats/min don’t leave enough time for filling and blood volume leaving heart decreases (bad) explains why conduction defects that affect atrial pumping abilities do not seriously impair ventricular filling (ex: during atrial fibrillation when atria fails to work as effective pumps) pulmonary circulation pressures o pressure changes in right ventricle and pulmonary arteries are same as left ventricle and aorta (pg. 381) typical pulmonary arterial systolic and diastolic pressures are 25 mmhg and 10 mmhg (lowpressure system, thinner walls) systemic arterial pressures are 120 mmhg and 80 mmhg both have same stroke volume heart sounds: result from cardiac contraction normally head through a stethoscope o “lub” = closure of av valves; onset of systole o “dup” = closer of pulmonary and aortic alves; onset of diastole o heart murmurs: other sounds heard from heart, usually indicative of disease or defects laminar flow: smooth blood flow (normal) may become turbulent with defect (detected with heart murmurs) stenosis: abnormally narrowed valve, causes turbulent blood flow insufficiency: blood flowing backward through a damaged, leaky valve septal defect: blood flowing between two atria or two ventricles through a small hole 12.6 – the cardiac output cardiac output (co): the volume of blood each ventricle pumps as a function of time, usually expressed in l/min o at steady state, co flowing through the systemic and pulmonary circuits is the same o co=hr×sv hr = heart rate (beats/min) sv = stroke volume (l/beat) o co of 5.0 l/min average for a resting, averagesized adult (nearly all of 5.5 l total blood volume is pumped around the circuit once each minute) o co will increase with strenuous exercise o hr and sv do not always change in the same direction (ex: sv can decrease with blood loss, but hr will increase) control of heart rate \n o in the absence of nervous/hormonal influences, the heart beats around 100 beats/min (inherent autonomous discharge rate of the sa node) at rest, influence of parasympathetic neurons results in resting hr of 70 75 beats/min o parasympathetic and sympathetic postganglionic neurons end on the sa node parasympathetic = hr decreases (reduces inward current, hyperpolarizes sa node cells by increasing permeability to k = slower depolarization) sympathetic = hr increases (increases ftype channel permeability = faster depolarization) also innervate other parts of conducting system (sympathetic = increases conduction velocity through entire cardiac system; parasympathetic = decreases rae of spread of excitation through atria and av node) o epinephrine (adrenal medulla) speeds heart up by acting on same beta adrenergic receptors as norepinephrine released by neurons o body temperature, plasma electrolyte concentrations, hormones, adenosine (myocardial cell metabolite) also affect cardiac nerves (figure 12.26) control of stroke volume (volume of blood ejected during each contraction) o a change in force during contraction can produce a change in stroke volume (will never fully empty ventricles) changes in enddiastolic volume (preload: volume in ventricles before contraction) changes in magnitude of sympathetic ns input to ventricles changes in afterload (ex: changes in arterial pressures that ventricles pump against) o frankstarling mechanism: all other factors being equal, the sv increases as the enddiastolic volume increases, seen in a ventricularfunction curve lengthtension relationship: enddiastolic volume is a major determinant of how stretched the ventricular sarcomeres are just before contraction must contract harder with greater stretch (more voume) complex mechanism: stretching cardiac muscle cells towards optimum length decreased space between thick and thin filaments more cross bridges can bind during a twitch increased sensitivity to troponin for binding ca and increased ca release from sarcoplasmic reticulum at any given hr, an increase in venous return = increase co (increase enddiastolic volume, increase sv) so blood does not accumulate in pulmonary circulation sympathetic regulation o distributed to entire myocardium o norepinephrine acts on betaadrenergic receptors to increase ventricular contractility (strength of contraction at any enddiastolic volume) along with increase hr \n any increased force of contraction and stroke volume resulting from sympathetic regulation is independent from any change in enddiastolic ventricular volume not related2+o franksterling mechanism (figure 12.28a) overall ca concentrations increases more quickly in cytosol, reaches greater excitation value, and returns to preexcited state more quickly faster, stronger contraction o ejection fraction: helps quantify contractility (directly related) ef=sv/edv edv = enddiastolic volume 50%75% under resting conditions in healthy heart o neglect parasympathetic effects on ventricular contractility afterload o the greater the load, the less contracting muscle fibers can shorten at a given contractility (figure 9.17 for review) an increased arterial pressure tends to reduce sv skip 12.7 12.8 – arteries thick walls containing large quantities of elastic tissue; “elastic tubes” large radii allow lowresistance conduction of blood to various organs as well as act as a “pressure reservoir” for maintaining blood flow through tissues during diastole arterial blood pressure o compliance: δv/δp; how easily a structure will stretch (greater compliance = greater ability to stretch) o a volume of blood equal to about 1/3 of sv leaves arteries during systole; rest of sv remains in arteries which increases pressure allows blood to continue to be driven into arterioles during diastole (figure 12.33) ventricular contraction always occurs before arterial pressure can reach zero (equal pressure of blood entering heart as leaving heart) o systolic pressure (sp): maximum arterial pressure reached during peak ventricular ejection o diastolic pressure (dp): minimum arterial pressure occurring just before ventricular ejection o usually measured as systolic/diastolic (ex: 120/80 mmhg) o pulse pressure: difference between systolic and diastolic pressure (ex: 40 mmhg) can be felt as pulse/throb in arteries in neck/wrist/etc. magnitude dependent on sv (direct relationship), speed of ejection of sv (direct), and arterial compliance (indirect; higher pressure with lower compliancy) o arteriosclerosis: stiffening of arterial walls, progress with age and leads to higher pulse pressure \n o mean arterial pressure (map): average pressure driving blood into tissues averaged over the entire cardiac cycle 1 map=dp+ (sp−dp) 3 compliance has no major influence on map (effects on systolic and diastolic pressure change but in opposite directions) measurement of systemic arterial pressure o sphygmomanometer: blood pressure cuff used to measure systolic and diastolic pressures (used in conjunction with a stethoscope) inflate until no sound is heard, release air slowly and record first number when sound is first heard again (systolic) and second number when sound disappears again (diastolic) korotkoff’s sounds: highvelocity turbulent blood flow that produces audible vibrations (with stethoscope) *** not the same as the lubdup sounds heard when valves close 12.9 – arterioles 2 major functions: in organs, responsible for determining the relative blood flows to given organs at any given mean arterial pressure and as a whole, determine mean arterial pressure o f=∆ p/r=map/resistance organ venous pressure is ignored (close to zero); map is constant throughout body o differences in flow are determined by differences in the resistance to flow offered by each tube wide tubes = les resistance = greater flows if radius of each tube is independently altered, blood flow through each is independently altered (smaller radius = less flow) large main arteries serve as pressure reservoir contain smooth muscle that can relax (vasodilation, increased radius) or contract (vasoconstriction, decreased radius) o pattern of bloodflow distribution depends upon degree of arteriolar smooth muscle contraction within each organ/tissue intrinsic tone: spontaneous contractile activity of arteriolar smooth muscle; sets baseline level of contraction that can be increased/decreased by external signals o increase in contractile force above it causes vasoconstriction o decrease in contractile force causes vasodilation o controlled by local controls and extrinsic (reflex) controls local controls: mechanisms independent of nerves/hormones that organs/tissues use to alter their own arteriolar resistances (selfregulate blood flow) o active hyperemia: manifestation of increased blood flow during increased metabolic activity; direct result of arteriolar dilation \n metabolic activity decreased oxygen (used in atp production), increased co ,2h ions (lactic acid), adenosine (atp byproduct), k ions (action potential repolarization), eicosanoids (phospholipid byproduct), bradykinin (peptide generated from protein kininogen generated from enzyme kallikrein secreted from gland cells) and nitric oxide arteriolar dilation most highly developed in skeletal/cardiac muscle and glands extrinsic controls: reflex mechanisms serves wholebody needs (ex: regulating arterial blood pressure; redistributing blood flow for specific function such as heat loss) o sympathetic neurons innervate most arterioles release norepinephrine to bind to alphaadrenergic receptors vasoconstriction (vasodilation via reducing presence of hormone) *** betaadrenergic receptors in heart, alphaadrenergic in arterioles allows for antagonists to block actions of norepinephrine in certain places reflex serves wholebody needs (ex: regulating arterial blood pressure; redistribute o parasympathetic neurons do not have important innervations in arterioles o noncholinergic, nonadrenergic, autonomic neurons release neither ach or norepinephrine release vasodilator substances particularly nitric oxide; contributes to control of gi system blood vessels innervate arterioles in penis/clitoris to mediate erection (sildenafil (viagra) and tadalafil (cialis) work by enhancing nitric oxide pathway to facilitate vasodilation) o hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine can bind to alphaadrenergic receptors on arteriolar smooth muscle and cause vasoconstriction can also bind to beta 2adrenergic receptors and relax muscle (less common than alpha in most vascular beds no effect; arterioles in skeletal muscle are important exception) angiotensin ii: constricts most arterioles vasopressin: released by posterior pituitary in response to decreased blood pressure + atrial natriuretic peptide: vasodilator by regulating na balance and blood volume; overall physiological importance unknown endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle o can be acted on by substances/mechanical stimuli to secrete several paracrine agents that diffuse to the adjacent vascular smooth muscle to induce relaxation/constriction o nitric oxide: important paracrine vasodilator (aka edrf) released continuously in significant amounts by endothelial cells in arterioles (maintains basal level vasodilation) \n responds quickly to large number of chemical mediators involved in reflex/local control o prostacyclin (prostaglandin i [pg2 ]): 2icosanoid, vasodilator; is not secreted until needed o endothelin1 (et1): vasoconstrictor released by endothelial cells in response to mechanical/chemical stimuli can function as a hormone if high enough concentrations in blood are reached for widespread arteriolar vasoconstriction arteriolar control in specific organs o figure 12.39 – factors that determine arteriolar radius o table 12.7 – importance of local and reflex controls in specific organs 12.10 – capillaries approximately 5% of blood is moving through capillaries at any time, allowing exchange of nutrients, metabolic end products, and cell secretions o some exchange also occurs in venules permeate every tissue in body except cornea; cells are no more than a few cells away from the nearest capillary o allows for highly efficient diffusion/exchange has essential role in tissue function leads to questions about angiogenesis (capillary growth and development) and what stimulates it in injury/healing/cancer o known that vascular endothelial cells initiate new capillary networks through stimulation by angiogenic factors (cancer cells also secrete these) angiostatin: naturallyoccurring peptide involved in inhibition of blood vessel growth can be used to reduce size of tumors in mice anatomy of capillary network o thinwalled tube of endothelial cells only one layer thick o no surrounding smooth muscle or elastic tissue o in some organs, they have a second set of cells that surround basement membrane to affect diffusion ability of substances (i.e. in brain) o intercellular clefts: waterfilled spaces in between flat cells of endothelial wall o fusedvesicle channels: form when endocytotic and exocytotic vesicles fuse o vasodilation/vasoconstriction of other vessels (arterioles) affects blood flow through capillaries blood sometimes enters through metarterioles that connect arterioles to venules moves though precapillary sphincter into capillary (can close off capillary completely if needed; open when tissue is active) diffusion across the capillary wall: exchanges of nutrients and metabolic end products o blood flow is slow to maximize exchange time o substance movement between interstitial fluid and plasma relies on diffusion, vesicle transport, and bulk flow (sometimes mediated transport too) in all capillaries (except brain), diffusion is only important means of net nutrient/oxygen/waste movement \n o lipidsoluble substances (oxygen and co ) easi2y diffuse while ions/polar molecules need to pass through waterfilled channels in endothelium waterfilled channels allows rate of ion/polar molecule movement to be high (not as high as lipid rates) intercellular clefts and fused vesicles only small amounts of protein can diffuse (usually need vesicular transport) o “leakiness” of capillaries differs between organs due to waterfilled channels one extreme: tight capillaries (brain) with no intercellular clefts, only tight junctions need carriermediated transport through bloodbrain barrier other extreme: large intercellular clefts (liver) that allow even proteins to move easily o transcapillary diffusion gradients occur as a result of cellular utilization of substance (established by local metabolic rate: increased metabolism leads to increased need for glucose/oxygen and increased production of co ) 2 glucose: continuously transported from interstitial to cells by carrier mediated transport mechanisms oxygen: moves in same direction as glucose (into cells) by diffusion carbon dioxide: continuously produced by cells and diffuses from cells to interstitial fluid (ultimately diffusing into capillary) active hyperemia and increased cellular utilization of materials both lead to increasing diffusion gradients increasing rate of diffusion bulk flow across the capillary wall: distribution of extracellular fluid o bulk flow of proteinfree plasma to distribute the extracellular fluid volume (plasma and interstitial fluid) o capillary walls are highly permeable to water and all plasma solutes except proteins proteinfree plasma moves by bulk flow when hydrostatic pressure difference exists (capillary blood pressure vs. interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure) filtration capillary blood pressure is usually higher hydrostatic pressure difference exists to filter proteinfree plasma out of capillaries into interstitial fluid (protein stays in capillaries) o osmotic flow of water brings solutes with it to penetrate membranes (to balance nonpenetrating solute concentrations); high to low concentration o effects of solutes crystalloids: lowmw solutes present in large quantities in plasma; can easily penetrate capillary pores ( concentrations in plasma/interstitial fluid are the same); includes na , cl, and k + colloids: plasma proteins that cannot move though capillary pores and have low concentrations in interstitial fluid water concentration is slightly lower in plasma than interstitium, creating osmotic gradient from interstitium to capillary o starling forces: four factors that determine net filtration pressure nfp=p +π cp −if if c \n capillary hydrostatic pressure, osmotic force due to interstitial fluid protein concentration, interstitial hydrostatic pressure, osmotic force due to plasma protein concentration (respectively) + = favors movement out of capillary; – = favors movement into capillary *** usually can ignore p ifvirtually 0 mmhg) if net outward pressure exceeds inward pressure, bulk filtration of fluid will occur (leaving proteins behind in capillaries as fluid leaves) can be applied to pulmonary circulation (starling forces favor filtration slightly more in lungs than other tissues) o regional differences in capillary pressure capillary hydrostatic pressures vary in different regions of the body and are strongly influenced by laying down/standing/sitting capillary hydrostatic pressures are also subject to physiological regulation mostly by changes in resistance of arterioles in that region dilating arterioles = increased capillary hydrostatic pressure (less pressure is lost in overcoming resistance between arteries and capillaries) favors movement of fluid out of capillary/increased filtration edema: abnormal accumulation of fluid in interstitial spaces (due to imbalance in starling’s forces) o can be caused by heart failure (increased venous pressure reduces blood flow out of capillaries excess filtration and accumulation of interstitial fluid) o can occur in systemic or pulmonary tissues o injury ( release of histamines/etc.) can cause dilated arterioles increase in capillary pressure and filtration increased size of intercellular clefts/ability of plasma proteins to escape from bloodstream increase in protein osmotic force in interstitial fluid can increase filtration/edema o can be caused by abnormal decrease in protein plasma concentration (water does not need to remain in capillaries to balance concentration leaves capillary) caused by liver disease (decreased protein production) or kidney disease (protein loss in urine) or kwashiorkor (protein malnutrition) 12.11 – veins capillaries venules veins last set of tubes that blood flows through on way back to heart o pressure difference between peripheral veins (1015 mmhg) and right atrium (close to 0 mmhg) drives venous return in systemic circulation adequate pressure due to low resistance to flow from veins (large diameters) major functions: act as lowresistance conduits for blood flow from tissues to heart and reflexively alter diameters in response to changes in blood volume to maintain venous return pressure \n o peripheral veins in arms/legs contain oneway valves that ensure blood moves towards heart o rate of venous return = major determinant of enddiastolic ventricular volume ( sv) determinants of venous pressure o volume of fluid in tube o compliance of walls o veins can accommodate large volumes of blood with relatively small increase in internal pressure 60% of total blood volume is in systemic veins, but pressure is only 10 mmhg (compared to 15% of blood in systemic arteries at 100 mmhg) o walls contain smooth muscle innervated with sympathetic neurons (norepinephrine release muscle contraction, increase pressure) drives more blood into right side of heart can also respond to hormonal/paracrine vasodilators and vasoconstrictors o skeletal muscle pump: increases local venous pressure of veins running through muscles during contraction; forces more blood to heart o respiratory pump: diaphragm descends during inhalation increase in abdominal pressure increase in intraabdominal vein pressure; also results in decrease in pressure in intrathoracic veins/right atrium; bigger pressure difference forces more blood to heart any changes in venous return almost immediately causes equivalent changes in cardiac output through frankstarling mechanisms ( they are the same except for transient differences) skip 12.12 12.13 – baroreceptor reflexes arterial baroreceptors o respond to changes in pressure o found where left and right common carotid arteries divide into two smaller arteries that supply the head with blood (carotid sinus) and in the arch of the aorta (aortic arch baroreceptor) afferent neurons travel from these points to the brainstem and provide input to the neurons of cardiovascular control centers o at a particular steady pressure (ex: 100 mmhg), there is a certain rate of action potential discharge from neurons, which increases/decreases with increased/decreased pressure medullary cardiovascular center o located in the medulla oblongata o receive input from the various baroreceptors throughout the body uses it to determine the action potential frequency sent back to the vagus (parasympathetic) neurons in the heart/sympathetic neurons in the heart/arterioles/veins \n increased rate of discharge = decreased sympathetic activity and increased parasympathetic activity angiotensin ii and vasopressin are also altered (decreased pressure = increased secretion = arteriole constriction) arterial baroreceptor reflex operation o ex) decreased arterial pressure (due to hemorrhage) = decreased rate of firing leads to increased heart rate (due to increased sympathetic activity and decreased parasympathetic activity) increased ventricular contractility arteriolar constriction increased venous constriction net result: increased cardiac output, increased total peripheral resistance, and bp returns to normal o functions primarily as a shortterm regulator of arterial bp will adapt to prolonged change in bp (new set point) other baroreceptors contribute to a feedforward component of arterial pressure control 12.14 – blood volume and longterm regulation of arterial pressure baroreceptors cannot set longterm arterial pressure as they will adapt to any prolonged change blood volume controls longterm regulation blood volume influences venous pressure/return, enddiastolic/stroke volumes, and cardiac output o all related, thus increased blood volume increases arterial pressure (and increased arterial pressure decreases blood volume) negative feedback loops blood volume can only stabilize longterm arterial pressure if blood volume itself is stabilized o urinary and circulatory systems both interact to help maintain this 12.15 – other cardiovascular reflexes and responses causes of increased blood pressure: o decreased arterial oxygen concentration o increased arterial carbon dioxide concentration o decreased blood flow to brain o pain originating in the skin (from viscera/joints decrease in bp) other physiological states (eating, sexual activity, sleeping) affect bp mood influences bp (lower when happy) changes triggered by higher brain centers to medullary cardiovascular center cushing’s phenomenon: increased intracranial pressure causes a dramatic increase in mean arterial pressure o cranium cannot expand to accumulate pressure pressure is directed inwards on brain, which decreases blood flow to all parts of brain accumulation of waste/not enough oxygen o fluid must be removed to fix \n 12.16 – hemorrhage and other causes of hypertension hypotension: low blood pressure, regardless of cause o consequences: reduced blood flow to brain/muscles hemorrhage: type of hypotension caused by significant deceased blood volume o immediate response: arterial baroreceptor reflex cannot restore all the way back to normal: directly affected factors (stroke volume, cardiac output, arterial pressure) remain below normal; values not directly affected (affected only by reflex; heart rate, total peripheral resistance) are higher than normal increased peripheral resistance vasoconstriction (less blood flow) why skin can become pale/cold o interstitial fluid will move into capillaries due to decreased hydrostatic pressure autotransfusion; can restore blood volume to normal in 1224 hours after moderate hemorrhage o both responses can restore up to 30% blood volume lost blood volume must actually be restored by increased fluid ingestion/minimized water loss (initiated by increased thirst/reduction in water and salt lost in urine) mediated by hormones rbc must be recreated to replenish blood severe sweating, burns, diarrhea, and vomiting can also cause hypotension o depletes body of water and essential ions cardiac contractility can cause hypotension (ex: during a heart attack) strong emotion can cause hypotension (and sometimes fainting) vasovagal syncope o higher brain centers inhibit sympathetic activity to circulatory system/enhance parasympathetic activity ( decreased blood flow to brain & arterial pressure) shock: any situation in which a decrease in blood flow to the organs and tissues damages them o hypovolemic shock: caused by decrease in blood volume secondary to hemorrhage or loss of fluid other than blood o lowresistance shock: due to a decrease in total peripheral resistance secondary to excessive release of vasodilators (allergy/infection) o cardiogenic shock: due to extreme decrease in cardiac output from any variety of factors (ex: during heart attack) o deterioration of the heart leads to decreased cardiac output more shock; which can become irreversible skip 12.1712.18 12.19 – hypertension hypertension: chronically increased systemic arterial pressure (above 140/90 mmhg) o 26% of adults worldwide affected; 34% u.s. citizens affected \n o left ventricle is chronically pumping against an increased arterial pressure develops muscle mass: left ventricular hypertrophy initially helps maintain heart function; leads to diminished contractile function and heart failure over time o can lead to atherosclerosis, heart attacks, kidney damage, stroke (blockage/rupture of a cerebral blood vessel, causing brain damage) risk of heart disease/stroke doubles with every 20 mmhg increase in systolic pressure and every 10 mmhg increase in diastolic pressure primary hypertension: hypertension of uncertain cause;

rates 27. amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. amino acids contain nitrogen bonded to a carbon 28. yes; primary structure lead to the protein higher order structure. this causes the protein to get into a specific shape. this shape is necessary for the protein to function properly 29. the protein's primary structure is determined by the dna. dna is kept in the cell's nucleus. 30. the information of the protein's primary structure gets transcribed into messenger rna (mrna). mrna leaves the nucleus and goes to the ribosome (rough er) where the protein gets translated (made). 31. one central carbon surrounded by an acid group, an amino group, some sort of side group, and hydrogen. the side group for each amino acid is different, making each amino acid unique. 32. amino acids are connected together by a peptide bond. 33. by heat, strong acids, bases, and heavy metals. 34. hydrochloric acid (hcl) 35. pepsin (enzyme) breaks the peptide bond of proteins resulting in protein fragments. pepsin is released in the stomach by cells in the stomach and is activated by the acidic environment. 36. gastrin regulates the release of pepsin. it's released in response to thinking about food and chewing and digesting food. 37. cck causes pancreas to release proteolytic enzymes that cleave proteins 38. incomplete gluten breakdown in small intestines leaving small peptides and amino acids. results in an inflammatory response to peptides and amino acids. prevalence in the us: 1 in 133 39. amino acids are taken up by the capillaries and taken to the liver by the portal vein. \n 40. used as building blocks for liver proteins, broken down for energy, can be released into the blood, and can be converted into nonessential amino acids, glucose, or fat. 41. producing vital body structures body is in a constant state of turnover. producing proteins and disassembling proteins. what happens in protein inadequacy producing proteins slows down muscles, blood proteins, and vital organs decrease in size. brain resists breakdown o maintaining fluid balance blood proteins attract fluids. if protein are inadequate, the fluid shifts into the tissues called edema. o contributing to acidbase balance act as buffers maintain ph within a narrow range keeps blood in an alkaline state. o forming hormones and enzymes hormones allow us to communicate between cells. enzymes catalyze reactions in the cells. transport and signaling receptors o transport brings nutrients into the cells. signaling receptors are used for communication in the cell o contributing to the immune function antibody production if there is protein deficiency, there is a decrease in immune function. o providing energy is need for prolonged exercise and calorie restriction however, cells use primarily fats and cho more efficient way to get energy. it wastes calories to metabolize amino acids for energy. o forming glucose amino acids can converted into glucose when blood sugar is low. during starvation: muscle wasting and edema results from protein breakdown. glucogenic amino acids are the only ones that can be used for glucose. use both nonessential and essential amino acids o contributes to satiety proteins provide the highest feeling of satisfaction after eating. may contribute to calorie control during weight loss \n 42. the breakdown of amino acids leave behind ammonia. ammonia is turned into urea in the liver and then excreted by the kidneys during urination. 43. 0.8 grams per kilogram per body weight. 44. beef, poultry, milk, white bread, and cheese. 45. vegetarian or a vegan diet. 46.

blood calcium levels and bone metabolism. it works with the parathyroid hormone, helps to regulate calcium and phosphorus absorption from the intestine, regulates the deposition of calcium in the bone and regulates the excretion of calcium from the kidney. 53. acts as a fatsoluble antioxidant to help protect the components of cells. 54. vital for blood clotting, and also activates proteins present in bone, muscle, and kidneys to give calcium binding ability to the organs. 55. formation of collagen which strengthens tissues, formation of other compounds (carnitine, serotonin, norepinephrine) and acts as an antioxidant. 56. what are the b vitamins that we discussed in class? briefly describe their function. folate: functions as a single carbon supplier or donor, and adds a coenzyme to help for dna and metabolize various amino acids and their derivatives. vitamin b6: needed for the activity of many enzymes, important in amino acid metabolism, necessary for the synthesis of neurotransmitters, important for hemoglobin synthesis, and is necessary for the conversion of tryptophan to niacin. vitamin b12: required to convert folate into its active form and maintains the myelin sheaths that insulate neurons. thiamin (b1): helps release energy from carbs. riboflavin (b2) and niacin (b3): both aid in energy metabolism and are coenzymes. 57. ions control the movement of water in between the

"text": " chapter 12 notes: social psychology week april 3 april 10 a. social psychology: the study of how people influence other people’s thoughts, feelings, and actions. 12.1 how does group membership affect people? humans have an overriding motivation to fit with the group. interpersonal attachments motive have evolved for adaptive purposes. a. social brain hypothesis (dunbar) large prefrontal cortexes because of the high dynamic and complex social groups. i. people favor their own groups a. formation ofingroup (belong groups) anutgroups o not belong groups) b security from predators and assistance in hunting and gathering food. c. better mating opportunities i. two conditions appear to be critical for group formation: a. reciprocity: “if you scratch my back, i'll scratch yours” i. reciprocity means that if person a helps (or harms) person b, then person b will help (or harm) person a. b. transitivity “people generally share their friend’s opinions of other people” b. outgroup homogeneity effect: the tendency to view outgroup members as less varied than ingroup members. c. social identity the the idea that in groups consist of individuals who perceive themselves to be members of the same social category and experience pride through their group membership. d. ingroup favoritism the tendency for people to evaluate favorably and privilege members of the ingroup more than members of the outgroup.people are more willing to do favors for ingroup members or to forgive their mistakes or errors. the power of group membership is so strong that people exhibit ingroup favoritism even if the groups are determarbitrary processes. a. minimal group paradigm: the basis of group membership occurred even when the participants were told that the basis of group membership was arbitrary. \n b. women show a much greater automatic ingroup bias toward other women than men do toward other women. e. various brain regions (including the fusiform face area, the nucleus accumbens, the insula, and the amygdala) are differentially active when we consider ingroup versus outgroup members. f. the medial prefrontal cortex is less active when people are members of outgroups. ii. groups influence individual behavior a. social facilitation: the presence of others enhances performance. occurs in other animals i. zajonc’s model: animals are predisposed to become aroused by the presence of others of their own species. arousal leads animals to emit a dominant response. this model predicts that social facilitation can either enhance or impair performance. the change depends on whether the response that is required in a situation is the individual’s dominant response. i.e. crowds do not distract professional players while they will distract amatuer players due to pressure. b. deindividuation: reduced attention to personal standards when part of a group i. stanford prison study: this experiment demonstrate what people are willing to do when put in a situation with defined social roles. c. group decision making: riskyshift effect :groups often make riskier decision than individuals do. i.group polarization : the process by which initial attitudes of groups become more extreme over time. ii.groupthink: the tendency of groups to make bad decisions when the group is under pressure, facing external threats, and is biased d. social loafing: the tendency to work less hard in a group than when alone. occurs when people’s efforts are pooled so that individuals do not feel personally responsible for the group’s output. iii. people conform to others a. conformity: altering one’s beliefs/behaviors to match those of other people \n b. influence: i. normative influence occurs when people go along with the crowd to fit in with the group and to avoid looking foolish ii.nformational influence occurs when people assume that the behavior of the crowd represents the correct way to respond. autokinetic effect: power of conformity in social judgement. c. social norms: expected standards of conduct influence behavior d. the asch and sherif studies. i. groups enforce conformity, and those who fail to go along can be rejected. ii people tend to conform to social norms, even when those norms are obviously wrong. iii.) when do people reject social norms? group size too small lack of unanimity (any dissent from majority opinion can diminish the influence of social norms. anxiety of social exclusion (actually appeared as a signal in the amygdala iv. people are often compliant a. compliance: the tendency to do things requested by others: i. footinthedoor effect: once people commit to a course of action, they behave in ways consistent with that commitment. ii. door in the face people are more likely to agree to a small request after they have refused a large request. iii. lowballing strategy once a person has committed to an option, then deciding to do so by spending a bit more money does not seem like such a big decision. v. people are obedient to authority \n a. milgram’s famous study demonstrated the tendency to follow the directions of authority. (experimentee was a teacher administering shocks to conduct a test) some situations produced less obedience i. nearly twothirds completely obeyed all the experimenter’s directives. 12.2 when do people harm or help others? vi. many factors can influence aggression a. aggression: any behavior that involves the intention to harm another. another factor that influences aggression is heat. b. biological factors: i. genetic research has identified the role of the maoa gene in aggression: a. maoa is not a “violence gene.” b. associated with amygdala and neurotransmitters(serotonin) c. maoa gene controls the amount of mao, an enzyme that regulates the activity of a number of neurotransmitters, including serotonin and norepinephrine. ii. the hormone testosterone also appears to have a modest correlation with aggression. however a particular form of the gene appears to make individuals susceptible to environmental risk factors associated with antisocial behaviors. iii ) the prefrontal cortex is important for controlling emotional and behavioral reactions. c. social and cultural factors. i. culture of honor: men are primed to protect their reputations through physical aggression. vii. many factors can influence helping behavior a. prosocial: actions that tend to benefit others, such as doing favors or helping by providing benefits to others, prosocial behaviors promote positive interpersonal relationships. b. altruistic behavior: providing help when it is needed, without any apparent reward for doing so: natural selection occurs at the genetic level rather than at the individual level. \n inclusive fitness (hamilton’s): the adaptive benefits of transmitting genes rather than focusing on individual survival. people are altruistic toward those with whom they share genes, also known as kin selection. i. kin selection ii. reciprocal helping: robert rivers: one animal helps another because the other may return the favor in the future. viii. some situations lead to bystander apathy a. bystander intervention effect: failure to offer help to someone in need if other bystanders are around. i. diffusion of responsibility : bystanders expect other bystanders to help. thus the greater the number of people who witness someone in need of help, the less likely it is that any of them will step forward. ii. social blunders: people feel less constrained from seeking help as the need for help becomes clearer. iii. wish to be anonymous people are less likely to help when they are anonymous and can remain so. iv. how much harm do they risk to themselves by helping? v. kitty genovese 38 witnesses and still none of them could do anything to stop the murder. ix. cooperation can reduce outgroup bias a. sherif's robbers cave experiment: among strangers, competition and isolation created enemies among enemies, cooperation created friends. b. shared superordinate goals — goals that require people to cooperate — reduce hostility between groups. c. jigsaw classroom i. children in jigsaw classrooms grow to like each other more and develop higher selfesteem than do children in traditional classrooms. dependent on one another to achieve a task as a group. each person is specialized in one thing. \n 12.3 how do attitudes guide behavior? a. attitudes are evaluations of: i. objects. ii. events. iii. ideas. and are shaped by social context and play an important role in how we evaluate and interact with people. x. people form attitudes through experience and socialization a. negative attitudes develop more rapidly than positive attitudes. in general, bad is always a stronger motivating force than good. b. mere exposure effe ct greater exposure leads to familiarity and therefore more positive attitudes. ex: when people are presented with normal photographs of themselves and the same images reversed, they tend to prefer the reversed version because the reversed versions correspond to what people see when they look in the mirror. xi. behaviors are consistent with strong attitudes in general, the stronger and more personally relevant the attitude, the more likely it is to predict behavior. the strong and personally relevant nature of the attitude will lead the person to act the same across situations related to that attitude. the more specific the attitude, the more predictive it is. attitude accessibility: the ease or difficulty that a person has in retrieving an attitude from memory. a. ease of attitude accessibility predicts behavior resistant to change. xii. attitudes can be explicit or implicit a. explicit attitudes: because we know we hold them, we can report them to other people. b. implicit attitudes: at an unconscious level, they influence feelings and behavior. these influence feelings and behaviors because people can access these implicit attitudes from memory quickly with little conscious effort or control. \n in a way, implicit attitudes function like implicit memories. xiii. discrepancies lead to dissonance a. cognitive dissonance: dissonance is a lack of agreement, occurs when there is a contradiction between two attitudes or between an attitude and a behavior. i. an uncomfortable mental state ii. due to contradiction between two attitudes or between behavior and attitude iii. insufficient justificatioone way to get people to change their attitudes is to change their behaviors first, using as few incentives as possible. iv. postdecisional dissonance: dissonance can arise when a person holds positive attitudes about different options but has to choose one of the options. for example, a person might have trouble deciding which of many excellent colleges to attend. post decisional dissonance then motivates to focus on one school’s the chosen school’s positive aspects and the other school’s negative aspects. v. justifying effort:when people put themselves through pain, embarrassment, or discomfort to join a group, they experience a great deal of dissonance. after all, they would typically not choose to be in pain, embarrassed, or uncomfortable. people dissolve dissonance by inflating the importance of the group and their commitment to it. “they have sacrificed so much to join a group, people believe the group must be extraordinarily important. xiv. attitudes can be changed through persuasion a. persuasion is active and conscious effort to change attitude through transmission of message. persuasion is most likely to occur when people pay attention to a message, understand it, and find it convincing. most importantly, the message must be memorable. strong arguments that appeal to emotions are the most persuasive. advertisers also use the mere exposure effect, repeating the message over and over in the hope that multiple exposures will lead to increased persuasiveness. b. according to the elaboration likelihood model, persuasive communication changes attitudes through a: i. central routewhen people are motivated to process information and are able to take that information. people are paying attention to the arguments, considering all the information, and using rational cognitive processes. leads to strong attitudes that last over time. \n ii. peripheral route: minimal attention to information leads to impulsivity. when people are either not motivated to process information or are unable to process it. this route leads to moreimpulsive action, as when a person decides to purchase a product because of endorsement \n 12.4 how do people think about others? xv. physical appearance affects first impressions first thing to notice is typically the face of a person during an initial interaction a. nonverbal behavior, otherwise referred to asbody language , ithe facial expressions, gestures, mannerisms, and movements by which one communicates with others: thin slices of behaviorpeople can make accurate judgements based on only a few seconds of observation. thin slices of behavior are powerful cues for impression formation. i. accurate judgments can be based on brief observations. ii. facial expressions and body movements influence impressions. xvi. people make attributions about others a. attributions: people’s explanations for why events or actions occur they are explanations for events or actions, including other people’s behaviors. people are motivated to draw inferences in part by a basic need for both order and predictability. b. personal attributions: xplanations of people’s behavior that refer to their internal characteristics, such as abilities, traits, moods, or efforts these explanations refer to things within people, such as abilities, mood, or efforts. for example, you might assume that a firefighter saved the kitten because he is brave. c. situational attributions explanations of people’s behavior that refer to external events, such as the weather, luck, accidents, or other people’s actions fritz heider and harold kelley has described people as intuitive scientists who try to draw inferences about others and make attributions about events. but unlike objective scientists, people tend to be systematically biased when they process social information. when explaining other people’s behavior, people tend to overemphasize the importance of personality traits and underestimate the expectancy that people’s actions correspond with their belief and personalities. these explanations refer to outside events, such as luck, accident or the actions of other people. d. in explaining behavior, undamental attribution error is the tendency to: i. overemphasize personality. \n ii. underestimate situation. e. actor/observer discrepancy: i. in interpreting our own behavior, we focus on situation. ii. in interpreting others’ behavior, we focus on personality. example: people tend to attribute their own lateness to external factors such as traffic. while they tend to attribute other’s lateness to personal characteristics such as laziness or lack of organization. xvii. stereotypes are based on automatic categorization a. stereotypes: mental shortcuts for rapid processing of social information b. as a result of directed attention and memory biases, people may see illusory correlations. stereotypes guide attention toward information that confirms the stereotypes and away from disconfirming evidence. *moreover when people encounter someone who does not fit a stereotype, they put that person in a special category rather than alter the stereotype. this latter process is known as subtyping. xviii. stereotypes can lead to prejudice a. prejudice : negative feelings, opinions, and beliefs associated with a stereotype b. discrimination: inappropriate, unjustified treatment of people based on prejudice c. ingroup/outgroup bias is the tendency to: i. positively evaluate groups we belong to. ii. negatively evaluate groups different from ours d. modern racism: subtle forms of prejudice that coexist with the rejection of racist beliefs . modern racists tend to believe that discrimination is no longer a serious problems and that minority groups are demanding too much societal change as in too many changes to traditional values. ex: people may condemn racist attitudes toward latinos but be unwilling to help a latino in need. \n xix. prejudice can be reduced a. inhibiting stereotypes. i. in everyday life, inhibiting stereotyped thinking is difficult and requires selfcontrol. b. perspective taking and perspective giving: i . perspective taking involves people actively contemplating the psychological experiences of other people. such contemplation can reduce racial bias and help to smooth potentially awkward interracial interactions. taking another group’s perspective appears to reduce negative or positive stereotypes. ii. perspective giving, in which people share their experiences of being targets of discrimination. \n 12.5 what determines the quality of relationships? a. relationships are connections with friends and with romantic partners. xx. situational and personal factors influence interpersonal attraction and friendships a. relationships are promoted by: i. proximity and familiarity. a. the more people come into contact, the more likely they are to become friends. the more often people come into contact with each other because they are physically nearby, they more likely they are to become friends. ii similarity or “birds of a feather” matching principle and personal characteristics a. people tend especially to like those who have admirable personality characteristics and who are physically attractive. iv. physical attractiveness. a. how people rate attractiveness is generally consistent across all cultures. b. “what is beautiful is good” stereotype; the belief that attractive people are superior in most ways some standards of beauty, such as preferences for particular body types, appear to change over time and across cultures. nevertheless, how people rate attractiveness is generally consistent across all cultures xxi. love is an important component of romantic relationships a. passionate love: intense longing and sexual desire i. generally happens early in relationships b. companionate love: strong commitment to caring for and supporting partner i. evolves in relationships \n c. love in relationships may be related to early attachment styles from childhood days. (how their parents treated them and their attachment behavior) people whose parents treated them inconsistently—sometimes warm and sometimes not—have ambivalent attachments. these people are best described as clingy. they worry that people do not really love them and are bound to leave them. about 11 percent of adults report having this attachment style. xxii. staying in love can require work if people do not develop companionate forms of satisfaction in their romantic relationships—such as friendship, social support, and intimacy—the loss of passion leads to dissatisfaction and often to the eventual dissolution of the relationship a. dealing with conflict: i. being overly critical ii. holding the partner in contempt (i.e., having disdain, lacking respect) iii. being defensive iv. mentally withdrawing from the relationship, arguing by only seeing things from one side of the relationship. b. happy couples also differ from unhappy couples in attributional style. attribution style: how one partner explains the other’s behavior. i. they overlook bad behavior or respond constructively, a process called accommodation. also, optimistic people typically have a happier relationship than those who are not. c. can psychology rekindle a romance? the following will help: i. show interest in your partner. ii. be affectionate. iii. show you care. iv. spend quality time together. v. maintain loyalty and fidelity. vi. learn how to handle conflict.

regulation ● the u.s. constitution not only provides the authority for regulation \n ○ it also limits its application ● many legal principles of regulation in the united states have come from court decisions that draw on the common law ● the fifth and fourteenth amendments place limits on regulation principal federal regulatory agencies and commissions delegation, rulemaking, due process, and discretion ● article i, section 1 of the constitution grants congress the sole power to enact laws ● congress enacted the administrative procedure act (apa) of 1946 to: ○ provide for public notice and comment prior to agency action ■ agencies adopt their own rulemaking procedures in a manner consistent with the apa ● the apa grants parties right to sue for judicial review of an agency action ○ a basis for that review is failure to follow the procedures required for an action ■ under the framework of procedural due process ● the apa requires: ○ agency actions not be “arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law” ● the courts review regulatory actions for whether they are arbitrary or capricious \n influences on regulatory agencies \n market imperfections •natural monopoly •externalities •public goods •asymmetric information government imperfections ● market imperfections warrant government regulation ○ only a necessary condition for regulation to improve economic efficiency capture theory ● predicts that regulation initially will be found where there are market imperfections and over time will evolve to serve the interests of the

accomplish fairness goals ● can involve policies such as: ○ lifeline rates for telephone service for lowincome people ○ the provision of aid such as food stamps costofservice theory ● regulation in a number of industries has centered on costofservice pricing ● this costofservice regulatory system has been blamed for inducing high costs and slowing the introduction of new technology. chapter 11: financial markets and their regulation introduction \n ● the capital markets are an essential component of a capitalist economic system that allow individuals to ○ save their money in a broad array of financial instruments ○ transform those savings into funding for businesses, homebuying, and retirement the formal and informal banking systems ● depository institutions such as banks accept deposits and make loans ○ these institutions are required to maintain a fractional reserve requirement ■ allows the formal banking system to lend a multiple of the deposits held repurchase agreement “shadow banking” system ● operates outside the purview of regulators ○ provides much of the financing for banks, securities traders, and mortgage lenders ● securitization involves pooling contractual debt obligations and issuing new securities backed by those obligations ○ a component of the shadow banking system \n collateralized debt obligations credit default swap \n the federal reserve system ●

address the global climate change issue: ○ in 1998 bp plc committed by 2010 to reduce its emissions of greenhouse gases (ghgs) by 10 percent from 1990 levels ● to achieve its goal, bp worked with environmental defense to develop an internal ghgs trading system for the company the regional greenhouse gas initiative ● formed in 2005 by 10 northeastern u.s. states \n ○ to operate a capandtrade system for reducing greenhouse gases emissions ○ auctioned 86 percent of the allowances generating $790 million through 2010 ● supported by companies that benefited from the funds generated by the auctions ○ other companies argued that it drove up costs and drove jobs away the environmental protection agency (epa) ● an independent agency located in the executive branch ● headed by an administrator appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate ● responsible for administering the major environmental acts enforcement ● the epa enforcement process requires: ○ filing of a notice of a complaint and a hearing before an administrative law judge standards setting and engineering control ● epa regulation has largely been command and control ○ uniform rules or standards are ordered and then enforced ● the epa sets emissions standards and air quality standards ● epa has increasingly used incentive approaches: ○ credits and offsets superfund ● administered by the epa ○ for the cleanup of existing toxic waste disposal sites ● epa attempts to identify the source of the dumping and force it to clean the site the nature of environmental politics ● environmental issues are complex because of: ○ scientific uncertainty about the consequences of pollution ○ incomplete information about the costs and benefits of environmental protection ○ disagreements about alternative approaches, such as liability versus regulation, to protection ○ differing perspectives about the protection of entitlements judicial politics ● politics of environmental protection often moves into judicial arenas ● environmental groups have succeeded in inserting citizen provisions in environmental statutes \n advocacy science ● much remains unknown about environmental hazards and their control ○ this scientific uncertainty is a source of contention in environmental politics ○ it provides an opportunity to use advocacy science as a component of a private politics strategy distributive politics ● environmental politics is motivated by: ○ distributive consequences of environmental policy ○ costs of environmental protection ○ benefits from the reduction in pollution and hazards private and public politics ● many environmental ngos active in public politics at the federal, state, and local levels ● environmental groups testify regularly in legislative and regulatory hearings ○ some demonstrate to attract media coverage to their side of the issue nimby and private politics ● nimby “not in mybackyard” ○ focuses on local environmental concerns, particularly as they involve possible risks to persons or property ○ directed toward: refuse disposal & toxic waste sites, chemical & oil plants, other facilities that may emit toxins ● energized by information provided by the

crossroad ○ there are market or nonmarket challenges ● strategy implementation is essential on an ongoing basis at an operational level to: ○ achieve performance goals ○ address challenges ○ seize opportunities investment decisions ● in making their decisions, investors assess: ○ opportunities and risks associated with firms ○ quality of their management ● the assessment of managerial quality depends on: ○ a firm’s leadership and market strategy ○ a firm's nonmarket strategy ○ the ability of management to anticipate and deal effectively with the emergence and development of nonmarket issues the environment of wind and solar power ● longterm opportunities for wind and solar power were enormous ○ supply costs were falling ○ demand for renewable power was expected to continue to grow ○ demand growth had been led by europe as a result of generous subsidies ■ as the subsidies were reduced, growth slowed ○ at the same time demand grew in china and the united states ■ more countries began to support wind and solar power ○ demand was expected to grow substantially in china and developing nations ● growth hinged on government support and the cost of other energy sources markets and government involvement ● retail electricity prices varied greatly across the states ○ both solar and wind power were quite variable ■ solar power output depended on the weather ■ wind power was most attractive in locations where the wind blows hard and steadily ○ solar/wind power faced nonmarket opposition because of: ■ the cost of subsidization ■ environmental nimby market signal ● market for solar panels in europe and the united states slowed to a crawl in 2010 \n ○ market in china grew at a rapid pace economic rationale for subsidization ● economic rationales for the subsidization of renewable power: ○ based on positive externalities ■ subsidization provides environmental improvements by displacing carbonbased power generated from coal or natural gas ■ subsidization provides security benefits to the extent that it reduced the dependence on imported fuels ○ intended to achieve cost efficiencies and increased output ■ subsidies could enable producers to realize economies of scale that would reduce costs and allow output to expand political rationale for subsidization ● positive externalities for the environment and security benefitted constituents ● subsidization generated pork: ○ recipients of the subsidies and their suppliers earned rents from the economic activity stimulated by the subsidization the costs of subsidization ● direct costs of subsidies are the corresponding government budget expenditures and liabilities ○ examples grants and loan guaranties solyndra inc ● in 2008 solyndra and solar power, inc., a leading installer of solar panels, agreed to a supply arrangement for $325 million of solar panels over the 2008–2012 period ● market risks: prices and costs ● non market risks *solar power opportunities and risks—market and nonmarket factors \n

<faculty name> \n 2 introduction quantitative and qualitative methods both have a role in conducting research. each method utilizes a different approach to how data is collected and subsequently analyzed. conducting a research study is complex and exceptionally difficult even for seasoned and experienced researchers. new researchers experience a variety of issues while conducting initial research projects. the issues include items such as (a) errors, (b) flaws, (c) omissions, and (d) conceptual gaps (leong & austin, 2006). the purpose of this week’s assignment is to utilize the information learned from the previous weeks and to develop hypothetical study that will show both a quantitative and qualitative design. the hypothetical study will be based on the topic of identifying the number of individuals taking a taxi based upon ingesting too many alcoholic beverages in a selected one block location. more specifically, the hypothetical research project will incorporate a selected area identified that is primarily made up of restaurants and bars. by understanding how many people at any given time will need a cab based upon too drinks will help a taxi company schedule an appropriate number of taxis over each threehour period. … research method criteria choosing an appropriate research method, quantitative or qualitative is one of the first steps that must be taken to ensure a successful study. by understanding both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, the best possible method can be selected to provide a desired output. this is otherwise known as, the goal state. the goal state is based upon findings from prior research. the researcher must identify the desired end state that he/she wants to accomplish and subsequently must choose the method that best fits the type of data to be collected. a researcher must walkthrough the process of a study and identify each step of the research prior to \n 3 conducting the study. this walkthrough is termed the pilot study. by working through each of the steps and developing a mental model, a researcher can test a hypothesis prior to completing a full study. it can also help to avoid any major mistakes when the main study is conducted. the value of a pilot study is valuable to any researcher, but is generally not publicized (doody, 2015). qualitative market research is primarily used at times that a more in depth understanding of consumer behavior and motivation is required, while quantitative studies are focused on specific numerical facts that answers the ‘what’ questions (barnham, 2015). additional strengths of a quantitative study involve a carefully planned research project that incorporates detailed data collection yielding numerical data (quick & hall, 2015). the strengths of a qualitative study are primarily related to the amount of description that can be acquired by the question and answers as well as the observation. the data that is being collected is descriptive in nature rather than purely a numerical quality (cozby, 2012). qualitative studies are ideal for generating new theories or hypotheses, achieving a deep understanding of the issue or issues at hand, and (c) for developing detailed stories to describe the root cause(s) of a phenomenon (trochim & donnelly, 2008). researchers generally have a primary objective and a secondary subgoal when conducting a study. one area a researcher must take into consideration is to ensure informed consents are provided by the subjects (leong & austin, 2006). by identifying the goal and subgoal up front, a researcher will be able to choose an appropriate method. design considerations according to leong and austin, (2006) a researcher must consider the following prior to \n 4 selecting the design: “(a) the specific purpose that the design should accomplish, (b) the criteria for deciding whether the design has a high probability of accomplishing that purpose, and (c) knowledge of the logic of the design so that the design can be modified to optimally accomplish the goal and avoid problems”. as a research design is considered, there are four specific steps that should be followed to develop a research project. the first step involves developing a hypothesis that is based upon a given theory. a researcher must create a specific hypothesis that will likely occur if a given set of conditions are met. the example could be something as simple as people in a bar setting are more likely to drink to excess than in a restaurant setting. the data could be used to determine the number of taxis needed in a particular area based upon the number of bars and/or restaurants in that area. after developing a hypothesis, the second step is to choose the operations that represent the constructs represented in the hypothesis. to succeed at testing a hypothesis, a researcher must select an appropriate method to test said hypothesis. an example of this is could be testing a social experiment to monitor 50 individuals in each type of setting in the same time period. the third step would involve utilizing a covariation of operations. if during the study the results were evaluated by breaking the individuals down per age group. the study could look at determining if the crowd is of a certain age and then identify whether the individuals choose a taxi, walking, bicycling, riding with a friend, or driving. based upon a particular type of crowd the bars and restaurants attract, a taxi service could begin to estimate taxis needed based upon the type of crowd and events promoted to a given crowd in that area. the fourth step is to determine if the results actually do measure the intended output. it \n 5 can be tested by reverse engineering the process. by utilizing the results of the study and employing the calculated number of taxis, the customers should not have to wait for a taxi upon exiting a bar or restaurant in a given area. while each of the four steps for the overall generic research design are defined, the next steps will be to develop a quantitative and qualitative study. quantitative in order to develop a quantitative study out of this design, 50 individuals are scored as they leave the bars and restaurants within a one block area. the study will take place in 3 hour segments. the data collected with be numerical in nature and allow a researcher to depict the scale of intoxication of the individuals choosing to take taxis over other modes of transportation. the level of intoxication can be rated on a scale of 05. zero will identify as not intoxicated at all and a five represents a level of falling down intoxicated. the individuals will then be questioned and identified by number within specified age ranges; under 21, 2125, 2630, 3040, and 41 and above. in addition, gender and proximity to housing can be graded by distance. one other criteria to measure would involve the number of people within each party. each factor acquired will go towards developing the characteristics of the individuals and their mode of transportation. in addition, the information will utilize a scales and numerical factors to calculate the number of taxis needed per three hour periods on given days of the week. qualitative the qualitative study would reflect descriptions of the individuals as well as the type of establishment as well as the events taking place throughout the block being studied. the descriptors of individuals could be broken down into the level of intoxication based upon 05 as well as a visual status of individuals that may lie about their level of intoxication. in addition, \n 6 notes will be taken to detail the type of event taking place in the area, to understand the type of individual the event will attract. this can help a taxi company to understand if the type of individual utilizing a taxi service is younger, older, or if age is not a factor. another determination that could be made if the use of taxi service is event driven, such as a live band or tournament. the determination could also be influenced by the average wait time of cab service. extensive notes about the environment, time of day, and events driving cab usage will need to be identified. each item will be discussed in a descriptive matter to be able to develop an overall profile of the type of individual(s) that would be taking taxis based upon the events planned in the area. conclusion as a researcher works through the process of a dissertation, a well thought out study must be developed. stepping through the four steps of designing a study, included the broad scope of what is included within the design of a study. as the mock qualitative and quantitative studies were developed within this paper, it is very clear to see that this process is a long and intense process. even something as simplistic as identifying the number of individuals that drank excessively that would need taxi services, became extraordinarily complex. each time one detail was identified, there were six more that cropped up needing to be addressed. the examples were dependent on so many additional variables that the study became convoluted. such variables such as the causes behind why people took a taxi over driving may be for a variety of reasons, not just drinking too much. to ensure individuals did not have to wait for a taxi could also be dependent upon how far the taxis had to go, the supply of drivers, etc. this variable could also affect those individuals taking a cab from this area. \n 7 overall, the development of the basic design and more specifically a qualitative and quantitative design, will need extensive up front planning. without developing a solid research design, a study will end up skewed, inaccurate, and invalid. if a researcher skimps on research design, illfated consequences will be faced down the line. \n 8 references barnham, c.

<faculty name> \n 2 introduction developing a methodology and design for a dissertation research topic based on the research problem, and purpose of a topic previously developed. after developing the methodology and design, a justification is provided for the use of the methodology and design and a discussion of why the alternative is less desirable. in addition, the strengths and weaknesses of the proposed design will be provided. the topic that will be discussed herein is online business development. by understanding the various types of online businesses that become successful is a process that will take significant research and analysis. everyday thousands of people begin an online business and many fail in the early stages. the small business association states that 60% of small businesses fail within the first year (frazer, 2015). the first step of this process includes identifying the types of businesses that are the most successful and subsequently analyze and comprehend the factors that make them successful. after determining which businesses are successful and further understanding the steps to make them successful, new business owners can be provided with a leg up in the online business world. in order to make an assessment of the types of businesses that are successful, an initial assessment through an online question and answer forum will be conducted. upon vetting the various companies and their owners, the next step is to conduct facetoface interviews to further analyze best practices. the strategic area of focus is based upon american businessmen or women opening up a business in the asiapacific region. this region of the world is chosen based upon personal preference to also open a business in this area of the world. the following pages will include: (a) statement of the problem, (b) purpose statement, (c) research questions, (d) methodology selection, (e) advantages and disadvantages/errors and analyses, (f) validity, \n 3 and (g) strengths, challenges, and ethical considerations. problem statement the problem to be addressed in this proposed study is based upon failing online businesses and finding ways for new online business owners to become profitable. over 60% of small businesses have failed to achieve a profitable position and subsequently shut down (simmons, wiklund, & levie, 2014). this problem affects millions of individuals each year and can potentially be influenced by first understanding which type online business to begin. by helping individuals to understand the type of businesses that are successful, programs can be developed to help these individuals by developing a startup program. online businesses are growing in a significant manner each and every day, and many people will not take the time to understand what works and what does not work prior to jumping in head first. worldwide, there are about 300 million people trying to start about 150 million businesses. of the 150 million, only approximately 50 million businesses make it to launch (mason, 2016). to begin to identify whether a business has a high probability of becoming successful, one must look to other online business owners and the types of business strategies previously utilized. understanding current online business owners’ perceptions and experiences, the most successful niche(s) can be identified. this type of work is applicable to the applied dba by researching existing data in the online business environment and applying it to the future of the online business environment. purpose statement the purpose of this research is to discover the best possible online business types to achieve success. groups of individuals in a variety of online business ventures will be studied to determine the most successful solutions to forming an online business. this process will save \n 4 time and energy for those that wish to move into the world of entrepreneurship. in this study, successful online businesses will be defined as those bringing in a net income of over $10,000 per month. with a solid understanding of the best types of businesses to begin online, an individual will be able to make an educated decision on the type of business to move into. using a quantitative methodology for this study will allow a researcher to identify the spectrum of success by identifying profitability levels. the study will also identify the number of online business started, as well as the number of individuals and the gender of the individuals starting them. by identifying each set of data collected in the research questions listed in the following section, an idea of the characteristics makes up a successful online business. research questions asking the right questions that are effective in providing an answer to the problem the research is trying to solve, requires careful consideration. questions are normally developed by utilizing one of three methods. the three methods are: logic, practicality, and accident (locke, spirduso, & silverman, 2007). by utilizing logic and practicality, questions can be developed to answer a problem by developing a hypothesis in the beginning stages of the project. as the research study continues, questions will begin to arise by pure accident, allowing other avenues to be discovered. in the given project, identifying the most successful online businesses will require significant research. the following questions target current successful online business owners: (a) what makes your online business successful? (b) how does gender affect business startup and success? (c) which web tools are most effective in supporting online businesses? conducting a research experiment in its natural environment has limitations. \n 5 the following will describe the hypothesis for each question: question 1: what makes your online business successful? hypothesis: ten of the sixteen items listed below need to be met to identify as successful. the following are noted as making an online business a success (a) capital, (b) strong record keeping and financial control, (c) industrial experience, (d) managerial experience, (e) planning, (f) professional advice, (g) educational level, (h) personnel, (i) economic circumstances, (j) age of business, (k) election of appropriate time to provide products or services, (l) age of entrepreneur, (m) partners, (n) parents, (o) minorities, and (p) marketing question 2: how does gender affect business startup and success? hypothesis: males are more successful in business than females. overall most females are less likely to succeed in business as there are a smaller number of females starting up businesses. females that startup businesses are more likely to startup businesses with a partner involved (kodama & odaki, 2011). question 3: which web tools are most effective in supporting online businesses? hypothesis: social media will be noted as the most effective online marketing tools. five main platforms for social media that are extremely effective marketing tools. the tools include facebook, youtube, google+, linkedln and twitter. each of these tools can also be utilized to track competitor effectiveness (aichner & jacob, 2015). methodology selection determining which type of study and methodology that will be utilized is vital to the research being conducted. first, a researcher must understand how to choose an appropriate research project and how to write in a scholarly way. many new students to the research field \n 6 are unsure of not only how to write in a scholarly manner, but must learn quickly how write as well and choose the appropriate type of study, qualitative or quantitative. understanding the details and the processes that develop a proper study is necessary to ensure research is conducted appropriately (caffarella & barnett, 2000). quantitative methodology could potentially be utilized within the realm of descriptive research to identify a variable. in this study the variable could entail determining the level of success by dollar figure earned per month. the interviewees could be asked a question of how much their business earns per month, and those that have the highest totals would rank as the most successful. as a researcher conducts a quantitative study, the following should be clearly identified in the analysis (a) the statistical tests which were utilized in the study, (b) why the tests were chosen, and (c) the results of the study (coughlan, cronin, & ryan, 2007). alternatively, qualitative studies consist of collecting a large amount of data, organizing and analyzing that data to create a succinct statement to provide a prediction or insight into the purpose that is being studied (lecompte, 2000). the primary element to the qualitative methodology involves descriptive research (“key elements,” 2010). upon review, the qualitative methodology is the best format for the selected research problem. by utilizing a strategy that incorporates the human element, a thorough analysis can be conducted on successful online businesses. other strengths of a qualitative study involve the level of detail that can be acquired. the weaknesses involve the acquisition of too much data that a researcher could get bogged down in the amount of data collected. in addition, the data collected could potentially be skewed by researcher bias due to nature of the questions being asked. while the weaknesses for qualitative studies may cause extensive conflicts, a quantitative study would not \n 7 provide enough data to truly understand what makes a company successful. the research will require the ability to ask a variety of in depth questions that provides more description. by understanding current online business owners’ perceptions and experience, the most successful niche(s) can be identified. now that the type of study that is the most appropriate and the types of data that will need to be collected, the next step is to create a record of the collected data for further interpretation (gibbs, 2007). surveys will be the collection method of choice and will be discussed further in the upcoming sections. collection methods there are several different methods that will be utilized in this study to collect data for analysis. the three types that will be utilized are surveys, field notes, observation, and interviews. each method provides a unique way to collect data to interpret and develop a well rounded study. each type of data collected will provide a portion of data which will more fully develop the bigger picture. surveys can be utilized in (quasi) experimental data collection. the population and sample size for this study will need to be between 2550 online businesses covering a variety of online business types. trying to survey the entire population of all online businesses would not be feasible and quite expensive. conducting simple random sampling and focusing on a small sample size of the overall population will provide an equal opportunity for business selection. if the overall number of businesses in the asiapacific locale was 250500 businesses, a 10% ratio random selection could provide a fairly average response (trochim & donnelly, 2008). the small sample size is appropriate for this type of study due to the amount of information will need to be collected. the specific selection will include american based businesses operating in the \n 8 asiapacific region. by allocating limiting factors and vetting the selected interviewees, the data will become reliable and valid specifically for the identified factors. when collecting data, a survey must be valid and reliable. the location utilized to locate potential individuals for the survey is on the website quora. quora is a contemporary, webbased forum where users can post questions and acquire answers from other users. in addition, others can vote up or down the answer based upon the accuracy or quality of answer (ovadia, 2011). this method of data collection will allow researchers to acquire a base for source identification. surveys conducted through quora may provide a base of individuals to choose from, the data collected may be less reliable than surveys administered facetoface. the advantage of using surveys allows researchers to target specific information required. the facetoface survey offers the ability to not only receive the answer to the question, but additional information that is naturally acquired through conversation. the disadvantages of utilizing surveys include (a) potential false information and answers, (b) gathering information that exaggerated or understated, (c) asks irrelevant questions, and (d) attracts only those who are willing to answer the survey (cozby, 2012). another relatable study to discuss utilized quantitative design involved online business courses. the study reviewed involved three online quantitative business courses that were taught over a period of 8 years. the study took place at the location of athabasca university, and the data collected was done so by observation and experience (lam & khare, 2010). the study analyzed only three online businesses over the 8year period, and allowed the researchers to gather in depth data on a small sample size. by utilizing a small sample size, the researcher could collect an extensive amount of data. to collect the same amount of data on a much larger \n 9 sample size would have required a much larger number of individuals to collect the data. field notes and observations other data collection methods to utilize in this study are field notes and observations. both types of data collection involve field research. field research is the overall label that defines a particular type of collection method that includes direct observation of naturally occurring events. field research is different from survey research. field research records the actions are being conducted and recorded at that time rather than a survey taken after the event’s occurrence (jane & liz, 2002). field notes are described as those that are written down in the field as the event takes place. in this study, fieldwork and observation can be used in the in the form of attending an online business conference. the conference type of forum could provide a solid foundation for successful online business. by learning from each entrepreneur as to what worked well versus those actions that did not work would be valuable information to analyze. the field notes collected at the conferences could provide a way to compare and contrast viable business strategies. the advantages of using field notes would allow for a log of questions asked to current online business owners. the disadvantages would be that only a certain number of online business owners would be able to attend the conference and the information collected may be biased as others in the room challenge the answers given (cozby, 2012). interviewing interviewing is another data collection method to be used in this research study to answer the above research questions by speaking directly with selected online business owners. the preferred method for interviews would be facetoface. while electronic interviews may provide a well thought out answer that is written down, the value of facetoface interviews is priceless. \n 10 an interviewer can not only hear the answers to the questions, but also interpret body language and ask followup questions (cozby, 2012). for this study, participants would be interviewed individually. a followup study could incorporate a group interview. this followup could be utilized to analyze the differences between the business types and address the challenges by comparing and contrasting the answers given. advantages and disadvantages/errors and analyses identifying appropriate questions for the study can be both advantageous and disadvantageous. the data collected could potentially be skewed by the pure nature of the experiment. data collected and potential factors that could be influenced by the analyses based upon the number of years a business has been active. the data could also be skewed by the ages of the individuals at the helm of the business. older individuals may be less likely to utilize social media and electronic means to conduct business, but may be successful due to the length of time and the experience they have been in business. identifying the reasoning behind a company’s success will be useful information to acquire. appropriate background data on each of the companies and the key managers will need to be collected to ensure the data is reviewed for accuracy. according to fink (2003), statistical analyses provide descriptions, relationships, comparisons, and predictions. another potential issue is to ensure an appropriate target is selected and it represents the entire population. a study was conducted to detect alcoholism amongst the delhi high court’s attorneys. the study showed that 5% of the targeted market were alcoholics. the issue was then attempting to apply this across the board for all lawyers, which was certainly was not the case. a study as detailed above can only be applied to the particular sector located within the study. \n 11 attempting to apply the same criteria to the lawyer population in a small town with limited stress would most likely be significantly lower (banerjee & chaudhury, 2010). for the study of online business, the target market may not apply across the board. successful online trading business may not all be successful for the same reason. to develop an understanding, a more in depth analysis must be conducted to ensure the data collected is analyzed for validity in the asia pacific region. validity validity is a concept that needs to be reviewed to ensure that is in place for each study. the three different types of validity that each study needs to be evaluated for are construct validity, internal validity, and external validity. it is important to ensure that the study being conducted is valid for each of the three types will help to determine the appropriateness of the study. each area will be discussed in the sections below. construct validity construct validity involves a specific sample size and the accuracy of the involved variables. as the defined variables are reviewed and measured within the study, inferences are developed. construct validity essentially reviews how closely the data inferences are to the reality of the concept (braun & kuljanin, 2015). with the study at hand, the data collected involves the number of businesses making over $10,000 per month. a sample inference based upon the 10% of the population, could show that the type of business with the highest success rate of 50% are in electronics sales. if applied across the board, this would imply that 50% of all asiapacific companies’ electronic companies would be successful if this were the case. internal validity \n 12 internal validity is a bit different than construct validity due the nature of cause and effect. if the current study changed but one factor in the study based upon the current conclusions, a researcher would be able to predict cause and effect relationships (cozby, 2012). an example of this could be determining that an online company could make $2,500 in sales on average by completing $500 in marketing each month. if marketing efforts were increased to $1,000 each month, the logical step would be to say that the company would double its sales. external validity external validity focuses on whether the findings of a study can be analyzed and allocate them in other settings (cozby, 2012). external validity serves to provide a sense of truth to a given conclusion in a variety of circumstances. stereotyping could be a way to define external validity. an example of this type of validity could be something like the following: if the conclusion is that it will take 2 years for a tech online business to become successful in the u.s., a tech online business will take 2 years to become successful in france. threats to validity the types of validity discussed above are in place to ensure the highest level of accuracy within a study. when a study is conducted, a researcher must identify the threats to internal and external validity. the threats begin to infiltrate procedures, treatments, or experiences of participating individuals (creswell, 2013). by identifying the potential threats, mitigating processes can be put into place. threats to validity could include something as simple as a researcher injecting a bias into the facetoface interview simply by asking questions that push an interviewee to answer a question in a certain manner. strengths, challenges, and ethical considerations \n 13 the strengths associated with this qualitative study would start with providing access to a significant number of individuals currently owning online businesses. the online environment will certainly allow for ease of access to the type of individuals that will be interviewed. while conducting the study in the online environment with online business owners is considered a strength, the challenge associated with finding the successful online business owners may be more difficult. huberman and miles (2002) discussed campbell and stanley’s attack on the “oneshot case study”. an ethical issue that evolved from this study was the thought that one observation, from one group, only one time, does not allow for other alternative outcomes. if only one possible outcome is analyzed, the data can be skewed. reporting that observed data of only one test as true across the board in every similar situation will certainly lead to an ethical dilemma. a strategy will need to be formulated to account for the other possible results and outcomes. during this study, the questions will be asked from a variety of business owners allowing for open ended discussion. another ethical issue to consider within this study will be how business owners will be found, interviewed, and protection of interviewees and information provided. if individuals are not responsive, a fee may be required to acquire the interviewees. by providing a fee, this may attract an unintended and unethical audience. another potential solution would be to locate forums that allow individuals to respond to the masses, such as quora. by utilizing a database such as quora, an ethical issue of whether or not the individual is actually a business owner or someone more or less pretending to be a business owner could develop. time will need to be taken to validate the accuracy of the person’s claims. by asking what the name of the associated \n 14 business, further research can be conducted to validate the individual’s statements. the research can then be furthered by locating the business and the individual’s association with that business by validating the relationship between the individual and the company. upon validation, the information provided will then need protection. the interviewee would need to sign a release of information as well as confidentiality agreement that specifies which portions of information would be authorized for release. in addition, names and addresses of would be withheld and how the information would be stored and disposed. conclusion this week’s final assignment was focused on selecting a research method for a previously developed study. the topic of discussion for this hypothetical study is proposal online business development. by understanding the various types of online businesses that become successful is a process that will take significant research and analysis. everyday thousands of people undertake starting an online business and many fail in the early stages. the first step of this process included identifying the types of businesses that are the most successful and subsequently analyze and comprehend the factors that make them successful. by choosing a study method that involves collecting an extensive amount of data. the qualitative study provides a vehicle to ask questions that allow for more fluent and descriptive data collection. while the qualitative method allows for the a more thorough picture of the problem, the method may also hinder the study by acquiring too much data. the strategic area of focus for this assignment was based upon american businessmen or women opening up businesses in the asiapacific region. this region of the world is chosen based upon personal preference to also open a business in this area of the world. the above pages included a

research design assignment 8 faculty use only <faculty comments here> <faculty name> \n 2 introduction developing a methodology and design for a dissertation research topic based on the research problem, and purpose of a topic previously developed. after developing the methodology and design, a justification is provided for the use of the methodology and design and a discussion of why the alternative is less desirable. in addition, the strengths and weaknesses of the proposed design will be provided. the topic that will be discussed herein is online business development. by understanding the various types of online businesses that become successful is a process that will take significant research and analysis. everyday thousands of people begin an online business and many fail in the early stages. the small business association states that 60% of small businesses fail within the first year (frazer, 2015). the first step of this process includes identifying the types of businesses that are the most successful and subsequently analyze and comprehend the factors that make them successful. after determining which businesses are successful and further understanding the steps to make them successful, new business owners can be provided with a leg up in the online business world. in order to make an assessment of the types of businesses that are successful, an initial assessment through an online question and answer forum will be conducted. upon vetting the various companies and their owners, the next step is to conduct facetoface interviews to further analyze best practices. the strategic area of focus is based upon american businessmen or women opening up a business in the asiapacific region. this region of the world is chosen based upon personal preference to also open a business in this area of the world. the following pages will include: (a) statement of the problem, (b) purpose statement, (c) research questions, (d) methodology selection, (e) advantages and disadvantages/errors and analyses, (f) validity, \n 3 and (g) strengths, challenges, and ethical considerations. problem statement the problem to be addressed in this proposed study is based upon failing online businesses and finding ways for new online business owners to become profitable. over 60% of small businesses have failed to achieve a profitable position and subsequently shut down (simmons, wiklund, & levie, 2014). this problem affects millions of individuals each year and can potentially be influenced by first understanding which type online business to begin. by helping individuals to understand the type of businesses that are successful, programs can be developed to help these individuals by developing a startup program. online businesses are growing in a significant manner each and every day, and many people will not take the time to understand what works and what does not work prior to jumping in head first. worldwide, there are about 300 million people trying to start about 150 million businesses. of the 150 million, only approximately 50 million businesses make it to launch (mason, 2016). to begin to identify whether a business has a high probability of becoming successful, one must look to other online business owners and the types of business strategies previously utilized. understanding current online business owners’ perceptions and experiences, the most successful niche(s) can be identified. this type of work is applicable to the applied dba by researching existing data in the online business environment and applying it to the future of the online business environment. purpose statement the purpose of this research is to discover the best possible online business types to achieve success. groups of individuals in a variety of online business ventures will be studied to determine the most successful solutions to forming an online business. this process will save \n 4 time and energy for those that wish to move into the world of entrepreneurship. in this study, successful online businesses will be defined as those bringing in a net income of over $10,000 per month. with a solid understanding of the best types of businesses to begin online, an individual will be able to make an educated decision on the type of business to move into. using a quantitative methodology for this study will allow a researcher to identify the spectrum of success by identifying profitability levels. the study will also identify the number of online business started, as well as the number of individuals and the gender of the individuals starting them. by identifying each set of data collected in the research questions listed in the following section, an idea of the characteristics makes up a successful online business. research questions asking the right questions that are effective in providing an answer to the problem the research is trying to solve, requires careful consideration. questions are normally developed by utilizing one of three methods. the three methods are: logic, practicality, and accident (locke, spirduso, & silverman, 2007). by utilizing logic and practicality, questions can be developed to answer a problem by developing a hypothesis in the beginning stages of the project. as the research study continues, questions will begin to arise by pure accident, allowing other avenues to be discovered. in the given project, identifying the most successful online businesses will require significant research. the following questions target current successful online business owners: (a) what makes your online business successful? (b) how does gender affect business startup and success? (c) which web tools are most effective in supporting online businesses? conducting a research experiment in its natural environment has limitations. \n 5 the following will describe the hypothesis for each question: question 1: what makes your online business successful? hypothesis: ten of the sixteen items listed below need to be met to identify as successful. the following are noted as making an online business a success (a) capital, (b) strong record keeping and financial control, (c) industrial experience, (d) managerial experience, (e) planning, (f) professional advice, (g) educational level, (h) personnel, (i) economic circumstances, (j) age of business, (k) election of appropriate time to provide products or services, (l) age of entrepreneur, (m) partners, (n) parents, (o) minorities, and (p) marketing question 2: how does gender affect business startup and success? hypothesis: males are more successful in business than females. overall most females are less likely to succeed in business as there are a smaller number of females starting up businesses. females that startup businesses are more likely to startup businesses with a partner involved (kodama & odaki, 2011). question 3: which web tools are most effective in supporting online businesses? hypothesis: social media will be noted as the most effective online marketing tools. five main platforms for social media that are extremely effective marketing tools. the tools include facebook, youtube, google+, linkedln and twitter. each of these tools can also be utilized to track competitor effectiveness (aichner & jacob, 2015). methodology selection determining which type of study and methodology that will be utilized is vital to the research being conducted. first, a researcher must understand how to choose an appropriate research project and how to write in a scholarly way. many new students to the research field \n 6 are unsure of not only how to write in a scholarly manner, but must learn quickly how write as well and choose the appropriate type of study, qualitative or quantitative. understanding the details and the processes that develop a proper study is necessary to ensure research is conducted appropriately (caffarella & barnett, 2000). quantitative methodology could potentially be utilized within the realm of descriptive research to identify a variable. in this study the variable could entail determining the level of success by dollar figure earned per month. the interviewees could be asked a question of how much their business earns per month, and those that have the highest totals would rank as the most successful. as a researcher conducts a quantitative study, the following should be clearly identified in the analysis (a) the statistical tests which were utilized in the study, (b) why the tests were chosen, and (c) the results of the study (coughlan, cronin, & ryan, 2007). alternatively, qualitative studies consist of collecting a large amount of data, organizing and analyzing that data to create a succinct statement to provide a prediction or insight into the purpose that is being studied (lecompte, 2000). the primary element to the qualitative methodology involves descriptive research (“key elements,” 2010). upon review, the qualitative methodology is the best format for the selected research problem. by utilizing a strategy that incorporates the human element, a thorough analysis can be conducted on successful online businesses. other strengths of a qualitative study involve the level of detail that can be acquired. the weaknesses involve the acquisition of too much data that a researcher could get bogged down in the amount of data collected. in addition, the data collected could potentially be skewed by researcher bias due to nature of the questions being asked. while the weaknesses for qualitative studies may cause extensive conflicts, a quantitative study would not \n 7 provide enough data to truly understand what makes a company successful. the research will require the ability to ask a variety of in depth questions that provides more description. by understanding current online business owners’ perceptions and experience, the most successful niche(s) can be identified. now that the type of study that is the most appropriate and the types of data that will need to be collected, the next step is to create a record of the collected data for further interpretation (gibbs, 2007). surveys will be the collection method of choice and will be discussed further in the upcoming sections. collection methods there are several different methods that will be utilized in this study to collect data for analysis. the three types that will be utilized are surveys, field notes, observation, and interviews. each method provides a unique way to collect data to interpret and develop a well rounded study. each type of data collected will provide a portion of data which will more fully develop the bigger picture. surveys can be utilized in (quasi) experimental data collection. the population and sample size for this study will need to be between 2550 online businesses covering a variety of online business types. trying to survey the entire population of all online businesses would not be feasible and quite expensive. conducting simple random sampling and focusing on a small sample size of the overall population will provide an equal opportunity for business selection. if the overall number of businesses in the asiapacific locale was 250500 businesses, a 10% ratio random selection could provide a fairly average response (trochim & donnelly, 2008). the small sample size is appropriate for this type of study due to the amount of information will need to be collected. the specific selection will include american based businesses operating in the \n 8 asiapacific region. by allocating limiting factors and vetting the selected interviewees, the data will become reliable and valid specifically for the identified factors. when collecting data, a survey must be valid and reliable. the location utilized to locate potential individuals for the survey is on the website quora. quora is a contemporary, webbased forum where users can post questions and acquire answers from other users. in addition, others can vote up or down the answer based upon the accuracy or quality of answer (ovadia, 2011). this method of data collection will allow researchers to acquire a base for source identification. surveys conducted through quora may provide a base of individuals to choose from, the data collected may be less reliable than surveys administered facetoface. the advantage of using surveys allows researchers to target specific information required. the facetoface survey offers the ability to not only receive the answer to the question, but additional information that is naturally acquired through conversation. the disadvantages of utilizing surveys include (a) potential false information and answers, (b) gathering information that exaggerated or understated, (c) asks irrelevant questions, and (d) attracts only those who are willing to answer the survey (cozby, 2012). another relatable study to discuss utilized quantitative design involved online business courses. the study reviewed involved three online quantitative business courses that were taught over a period of 8 years. the study took place at the location of athabasca university, and the data collected was done so by observation and experience (lam & khare, 2010). the study analyzed only three online businesses over the 8year period, and allowed the researchers to gather in depth data on a small sample size. by utilizing a small sample size, the researcher could collect an extensive amount of data. to collect the same amount of data on a much larger \n 9 sample size would have required a much larger number of individuals to collect the data. field notes and observations other data collection methods to utilize in this study are field notes and observations. both types of data collection involve field research. field research is the overall label that defines a particular type of collection method that includes direct observation of naturally occurring events. field research is different from survey research. field research records the actions are being conducted and recorded at that time rather than a survey taken after the event’s occurrence (jane & liz, 2002). field notes are described as those that are written down in the field as the event takes place. in this study, fieldwork and observation can be used in the in the form of attending an online business conference. the conference type of forum could provide a solid foundation for successful online business. by learning from each entrepreneur as to what worked well versus those actions that did not work would be valuable information to analyze. the field notes collected at the conferences could provide a way to compare and contrast viable business strategies. the advantages of using field notes would allow for a log of questions asked to current online business owners. the disadvantages would be that only a certain number of online business owners would be able to attend the conference and the information collected may be biased as others in the room challenge the answers given (cozby, 2012). interviewing interviewing is another data collection method to be used in this research study to answer the above research questions by speaking directly with selected online business owners. the preferred method for interviews would be facetoface. while electronic interviews may provide a well thought out answer that is written down, the value of facetoface interviews is priceless. \n 10 an interviewer can not only hear the answers to the questions, but also interpret body language and ask followup questions (cozby, 2012). for this study, participants would be interviewed individually. a followup study could incorporate a group interview. this followup could be utilized to analyze the differences between the business types and address the challenges by comparing and contrasting the answers given. advantages and disadvantages/errors and analyses identifying appropriate questions for the study can be both advantageous and disadvantageous. the data collected could potentially be skewed by the pure nature of the experiment. data collected and potential factors that could be influenced by the analyses based upon the number of years a business has been active. the data could also be skewed by the ages of the individuals at the helm of the business. older individuals may be less likely to utilize social media and electronic means to conduct business, but may be successful due to the length of time and the experience they have been in business. identifying the reasoning behind a company’s success will be useful information to acquire. appropriate background data on each of the companies and the key managers will need to be collected to ensure the data is reviewed for accuracy. according to fink (2003), statistical analyses provide descriptions, relationships, comparisons, and predictions. another potential issue is to ensure an appropriate target is selected and it represents the entire population. a study was conducted to detect alcoholism amongst the delhi high court’s attorneys. the study showed that 5% of the targeted market were alcoholics. the issue was then attempting to apply this across the board for all lawyers, which was certainly was not the case. a study as detailed above can only be applied to the particular sector located within the study. \n 11 attempting to apply the same criteria to the lawyer population in a small town with limited stress would most likely be significantly lower (banerjee & chaudhury, 2010). for the study of online business, the target market may not apply across the board. successful online trading business may not all be successful for the same reason. to develop an understanding, a more in depth analysis must be conducted to ensure the data collected is analyzed for validity in the asia pacific region. validity validity is a concept that needs to be reviewed to ensure that is in place for each study. the three different types of validity that each study needs?",

"text": " exam 3 study guide chapter 5: membrane structure and function components of the plasma membrane: phospholipid bilayer. protein components. cholesterol (animal plasma membrane). o related steroids are found in the plasma membrane of plants. o cholesterol helps modify the fluidity of the membrane over a range of temperatures. phospholipid bilayer amphipathic molecule, meaning it is both hydrophobic (waterfearing) and hydrophobic (waterloving). o thus the bilayer that is formed when in water. o hydrophobic polar heads associate with the polar molecules found on the outside and inside of the cell. o hydrophobic nonpolar tails associate with hydrophobic nonpolar molecules. integral proteins: embedded in the plasma membrane. hydrophobic core that associate with nonpolar core of the membrane. hydrophilic ends of integral proteins protrude from both surfaces of the bilayer, interacting with polar h20 molecules. integral proteins can be held in place by attachments to protein fibers of the cytoskeleton (inside) and givers of the extracellular matrix (outside). o only animals of extracellular matrix – containing various protein fibers and large, complex carbohydrates. the extracellular matrix lends external support to the plasma membrane – assisting in cell communication. peripheral proteins: occur only on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane. one membrane is different from another by types of proteins integrated into the membrane. cell membranes are highly similar in the types of molecules they contain, making them interchangeable and allow them to fuse together properly. fluidmosaic model membranes are flexible structures consisting of a variety of molecules, including phospholipids, cholesterol, and proteins. o fluidmosaic model is used to describe the interactions between these components. cells are flexible because the phospholipid bilayer is fluid. \n o at body temperature – the phospholipid bilayer has a consistency of olive oil. the greater the concentration of unsaturated fatty acids residues, the more fluid the bilayer. cholesterol molecules prevent the plasma membrane from becoming too fluid at higher temperatures or too solid at lower temperatures. o at high temp: cholesterol stiffens the membrane – making it less fluid. o at low temp: cholesterol helps prevent membrane from freezing by not allowing contact between certain phospholipid tails. the presence of many proteins in the plasma membrane are what makes it mosaic. o protein position can change over time – unless anchored to another structure (cytoskeleton or extracellular matrix). a membrane is asymmetrical – not identical sides. glycoproteins and glycolipids phospholipids and proteins that have attached carbohydrate (sugar) chains called glycoproteins and glycolipids. o carbohydrate chains are diverse (branched/unbranched, sequence and number of sugars) because of the carbohydrate diversity, each cells has its own “fingerprint.” thus, glycoproteins and glycolipids play an important role in cellular identification. o when transplanted tissues are rejected it is because the immune system is able to detect that the foreign tissues cells do not have the appropriate carbohydrate chains. o in humans carbohydrate chains are the basis for the a, b and o blood types. in animals the carbohydrate chain is a glycocalyx – protects cell, cellcell adhesion, reception of signaling molecules and celltocell recognition. protein functions channel proteins: involved in passing molecules through the membrane. carrier proteins: involved in passing molecules through the membrane. when substance is received, carrier proteins change their shape so the substance can move across the membrane. cell recognition proteins: glycoproteins that help the cell recognize when it is being invaded by pathogens, so the immune response can occur. receptor protein: a shape that allow only a specific molecule to bind to it. when a molecule binds the protein changes shapes and thereby bring about cellular response. enzymatic protein: carry out metabolic reactions. junction protein: forming junctions between animal cells signaling molecules that pass through gap junctions allow the cilia of cells that line the respiratory tract to beat in unison. \n permeability of the plasma membrane the plasma membranes general job is to regulate what foes in and out of the cell. selectively permeable allowing only certain substances into the cell while keeping others out. molecules that can freely cross the membrane generally require no energy to do so. o hydrophobic substances can cross the membrane with no energy cost because their hydrophobic nature is similar to that of the phospholipid center of the membrane. o polar molecules are chemically incompatible with the center of the membrane and so require energy to drive their transport. in general, small, noncharged molecules, such as carbon dioxide, oxygen, glycerol, and alcohol, can freely cross the membrane. passage of molecules into and out of the cell diffusion: high to low concentration (lipidsoluble molecules, gases). facilitated: high to low concentration (some sugars, amino acids). channels or carrier and concentration gradient. active: low to high concentration (sugars, amino acids, ions). carrier plus energy. bulk transport: toward outside or inside (macromolecules). vesicle utilization. concentration gradient: molecules that move from an area where their concentration is high to low. oxygen concentration is higher outside of cell, lower inside of cell. o thus, the oxygen moves across the membrane into the cell. carbon dioxide concentration is higher inside of cell, lower outside of cell. o thus, carbon dioxide flows from the inside of the cell to the outside of the cell. aquaporins: allow h2o to cross membrane and allow cells to equalize water pressure differences between their interior and exterior environments. ions and polar molecules (such as glucose and amino acids) can cross a membrane. \n often assisted by carrier proteins, which recognize shape of ion/molecule and must combine with ion/molecule before changing its shape and transporting the molecule/ion across the membrane. bulk transport is a way that large particles can enter or exit a cell. exocytosis: fusion of vesicle with the plasma membrane moves a particle to the outside of the membrane. endocytosis: vesicle formation moves a particle to inside the plasma membrane. o vesicle formation is reserved for movement of macromolecules or even something larger, such as a virus. passive transport across a membrane diffusion: movement of water from a high to lower concentration until equilibration is achieved and the molecule are distributed. solution: contain both a solute (solid) and solvent (liquid). solute and solvent must be equally distributed for equilibrium to be reached. once reached there is no net movement. the plasma membrane allow only a few types of molecules to enter/exit the cell by diffusion. influences on rate of diffusion temperature pressure electrical currents molecule size osmosis: the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane from high to low concentration. osmotic pressure: the pressure that develops in a system due to osmosis. isotonic solution: the solute concentration and water concentration both inside and outside the cell are equal. hypotonic solution: causes cells to swell, or even burst, due to the intake of water. when a plant is places in a hypotonic solution: the cytoplasm expands, because the large central vacuole gains water and the plasma membrane pushes against the rigid cell wall. plant cells do not burst because no cell wall gives way. organisms that live in freshwater have contractive vacuoles that help them avoid taking in too much water. o freshwater fish have kidneys that excrete a large volume of dilute urine. \n hypertonic solution: cause the cell to shrink or shrivel, due to water loss. when a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the plasma membrane pulls away from the cell wall as the large central vacuole loses water. facilitated transport: explains how molecules such as glucose and amino acids are rapidly transported across the plasma membrane. h2o molecules move through channel protein. glucose and amino acids move through by way of carrier proteins. facilitated transport requires no energy because movement is with concertation gradient. active transport: requires energy because movement is against concentration gradient. energy usually in the form of atp. carrier proteins and atp needed to move molecules against their concertation gradient. o the atp is needed in order for the molecule to combine with carrier. sodiumpotassium pump: moves sodium ions (na+) to the outside of the cell and potassium ions (k+) to the inside of the cell, through the same carrier protein. animal cells 3 na+ (sodium) ions are carried outward for every 2 potassium (k+) ions carried inward. active transport bulk transport: membrane vesicles formed around macromolecules require an expenditure of cellular energy. active transport exocytosis: intracellular vesicle fuses with the plasma membrane as secretion occurs. golgi body produces vesicle. the membrane of the vesicle becomes part of the plasma membrane because both are nonpolar – as substances exit the cell. proteins released from vesicle may adhere to the cell surface or become incorporated into an extracellular matrix. endocytosis: cells take in substances by moving vesicles around the material. plasma membrane invaginates to envelope the substance, and then membrane pinches off to form an intracellular vesicle. occurs in 3 different ways: o phagocytosis: transports large substances into the cell. o pinocytosis: transports liquid or very small particles into cell. \n o receptormediated endocytosis: form of pinocytosis that uses a receptor protein to recognize compatible molecules and take them into the cell. modification of cell surfaces cell surfaces in animals: extracellular matrix: meshwork of proteins and polysaccharides in close association with the cell that produced them. the extracellular matrix and cytoskeleton play a role in cell signaling, and influence the shape and cell activity. proteoglycan: polysaccharides that attach to a protein in the extracellular matrix. resists compression of extracellular matrix, and assist in cell signaling when they regulate passage of molecules. junctions between cells: adhesion junctions: mechanically attach adjacent cells. o most common between skin cells. tight junctions: connect plasma membrane between adjacent cells together. o tissues that serve as barriers are held together by tight junctions. gap junctions: allow cell’s to communicate – formed by two identical plasma membrane channels joining. o lend strength and allow small molecules to pass through. plant cell walls – in addition to the plasma membrane, plant cells are surrounded by a porous cell wall. primary cell wall: all plant cells have, containing cellulose fibrils, microfibrils are held together by noncellulose substances. secondary cell wall: forms inside the primary cell wall. o greater cellulose fibrils (quantity). o common in woody plants. plasmodesmata: connects cytoplasm in living cells of a plant. chapter 6: metabolism: energy and enzymes cells and the flow of energy energy: the ability to do work or bring about a change. \n forms of energy: kinetic energy: energy of motion. potential energy: stored energy. o food is a form of potential energy called chemical energy, because it is composed of organic molecules. o when a moose walks it turns chemical energy into a type of kinetic energy called mechanical energy. laws of thermodynamics: explain why energy flows through an ecosystem and through cells. first law: the law of conservation of energy – energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but it can be changed from one form to another. o when leaf cells photosynthesize, solar energy is used to form carbohydrate molecules from carbon dioxide gas and water. carbohydrates have bonds that store energy, making them energyrich molecules. carbon dioxide and water are energypoor molecules. o plants capture only a small portion of solar energy, much of it is lost as heat (which is also a form of energy). energy exchange produces heat. second law: applies to living systems – energy cannot be change from one form to another without a loss of useable energy. o when heat dissipates into the environment it is no longer usable – not available to do work. o no process requiring a conversion of energy is ever 100% efficient. cells are capable of about 40% efficiency, the rest is lost as heat. cells and entropy entropy: the relative amount of disorganization. every energy transformation makes the universe less organized, or structured, and more disordered, or chaotic. the second law of thermodynamics that each cellular process makes less energy available to do useful work in the future. metabolic reactions and energy transformations metabolism: sum of all chemical reactions that occur in a cell. includes both spontaneous and energy requiring reactions. reactants: substances that participate in that reaction. \n products: form as a result of reaction. a reaction will occur spontaneously if it increases the entropy if the universe. o spontaneous reactions occur without an input of energy. free energy: amount of energy left to do work after a chemical reaction has occurred. change in free energy = subtracting free energy of the reactants from that of the products. a negative result means that the products have less free energy than the reactants, and the reaction will occur spontaneously. exergonic reaction: spontaneous and release energy. endergonic reaction: require an input of energy to occur. protein and carbohydrate synthesis are endergonic. must be coupled with exergonic reaction. atp is an energy carrier between exergonic and endergonic reactions. atp energy for cells atp (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of cells. the more active an organism – the greater demand for atp. atp is regenerate by adp (adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate. o the cycle is powered by the breakdown of glucose and other biomolecules during cellular respiration. o about 40% of the free energy stored in chemical bonds of a glucose molecule is transformed to atp; the rest is lost as heat. o atp breakdown can be coupled to endergonic reactions – minimizing energy loss. structure of atp atp is a nucleotide composed of a nitrogen containing base adenine and the 5carbon sugar ribose (together called adenosine) and 3 phosphate groups (phosphate groups repel each other, creating instability and potential energy). atp is high energy because its phosphate groups can easily be removed. couple reactions through coupled reactions, atp drives forward the energetically unfavorable processes that must occur. a cell has two main ways to couple atp hydrolysis to an energy requiring reaction: atp is used to energize a reactant or atp is used to change the shape of a reactant. \n o both are achieved by transferring a phosphate group to the reaction. usually the energyreleasing reaction (exergonic) is the hydrolysis of atp – because atp’s phosphate groups release more energy than the amount consumed by the energy requiring reaction. atp breakdown is couple to the energyrequiring reaction (endergonic). function of atp in cells chemical work: atp supplies the energy needed to synthesize macromolecules (anabolism) that makes up the cell, and therefore the organism. transport work: atp supplies the energy needed to pump substances across the plasma membrane. mechanical work: atp supplies the energy needed to permit muscles to contract, cilia and flagella to beat, and chromosomes to move. metabolic pathways and enzymes enzyme: protein molecule that speeds a chemical reaction without itself being affected by the reaction. allow reactions to occur under mild conditions. regulate metabolism, by eliminating side reactions. ribozymes: made of rna (instead of proteins), can serve as biological catalyst. ribozymes are involved in rna synthesis and the synthesis of proteins at ribosomes. metabolic pathway: a series of linked reactions. begin with a particular reactant and end with a final product. each step in a metabolic pathway is a chemical reaction catalyzed by an enzyme. substrates: reactants in a chemical reaction. in a metabolic pathway the substrates for the first reaction are converted into products, and those products then serve as the substrate for the next enzymecatalyzed reaction. o different pathways can interact because of common molecule. o metabolic pathways are useful for capturing/releasing small increments of molecular energy. o enzymes in metabolic pathways allow cells to regulate and respond to changing environments. enzymesubstrate complex active site: part of enzyme that reacts with substrate. \n induced fit model: enzyme undergoes slight shape change to achieve optimum fit of the substrate. the change in shape of the active site facilitates the reaction that now occurs. the products are then released, and the active site returns to its original shape ready to bind to another substrate molecule. because enzymes bind with their substrates, they are sometimes names for their substrates and usually end in –ase. degradation: the substrate is broken down to smaller products. synthesis: the substrates are combined to produce a larger product. certain enzymes carry out degradation or synthesis. energy of activation: energy must be added to cause molecules to react. keeps molecules from spontaneously degrading within a cell. reducing the energy of activation increases the rate at which the reaction may occur. o the presence of any enzyme does just that – which is why enzymes are considered biological catalyst for chemical reactions. the energy of activation will be higher when an enzyme is not present. factors that affect enzyme speed increasing enzyme and substrate increase reaction time. ph, temp. or an inhibitor that can change the shape of an enzyme, called denaturation. o causes decrease in reaction rate and doesn’t allow substrate to sufficiently fit in enzyme. cofactors: molecules that help speed the rate of reaction, because they help bind the substrate to the active site, or participate in the reaction at the active site. substrate concentration enzyme activity increases as substrate activity increases. o as more substrates fill active sites, more products result per unit of time. optimal ph each enzyme has an optimal ph where reaction rate is the highest. a change in ph can cause an enzyme to denature, and under extreme ph conditions an enzyme can lose its shape and become inactive. temperature \n as temperature increases, enzyme activity increases. enzyme cofactors and coenzymes cofactor: ion or molecule (inorganic ions and organic proteins). sometimes needed at active site for proper enzymatic function. coenzymes: nonprotein organic molecule. vitamins are components of coenzymes. enzyme inhibition: when a molecule (the inhibitor) binds to an enzyme and decreases its activity. can be useful/beneficial by means of conserving raw materials and energy. noncompetitive inhibition: the inhibitor binds to the enzyme at a location other than the active site. this site is called an allosteric site. when an inhibitor is at the allosteric site, the active site of an enzyme changes shape, which in turn changes its function. competitive inhibition: an inhibitor and the substrate compete for the active site of an enzyme. product forms only when substrate, not inhibitor – is at the active site. oxidationreduction reactions and metabolism oxidation: loss of electrons reduction: gain of electrons because both go handinhand, the entire reaction is called redox reaction. apply to covalent reactions in cells. when there is a loss of a hydrogen atom, there is an electron loss. when there is a gain of a hydrogen atom, there is an electron gain. in photosynthesis: carbon dioxide is reduced and water is oxidized. in mitochondria and cellular respiration: mitochondria oxidize carbohydrates and use the energy to build atp molecules. in cellular respiration glucose has lost hydrogen atoms (oxidized) and oxygen gains (reduction). chapter 7: photosynthesis photosynthetic organisms photosynthesis: converts solar energy into the chemical energy of a carbohydrate. \n photosynthetic organisms (plants, algae, cyanobacteria) are called autotrophs, because they produce food. photosynthetic organisms harness the energy from the sun and provide gases and nutrients for heterotrophs. o heterotrophs generate chemical energy and produce carbon dioxide and water. producers (autotrophs) feed themselves and consumers (heterotrophs). both producers and consumers use organic molecules produced by photosynthesis as a source of building blocks for growth and repair, and as a source of chemical energy for cellular work. photosynthesis produce o2 as a byproduct. o oxygen is required for cellular respiration. o oxygen forms an ozone in the atmosphere that shields ultraviolet radiation and makes terrestrial life possible. fossil fuels: the energy within oil and coal was originally captured from the sun by plants and algae. fermentation of plants produces ethanol. photosynthesis in flowering plants mesophyll: tissue, in which cells are specialized for photosynthesis. raw materials for photosynthesis: h2o and carbon dioxide. the root of a plant absorb water, water then travels to vascular tissue up the stem to a leaf – entering into leaf veins. carbon dioxide in the air enters a leaf through small openings called stomata. after entering a leaf, co2 and h2o diffuse into chloroplasts (inside the mesophyll), the organelles that carry on photosynthesis. o chloroplasts provide tremendous surface area for photosynthesis to occur. stroma: a double membrane surrounds a chloroplast, and its semifluid interior is called stroma. the stroma contains an enzymerich solution, where co2 is first attached to an organic compound and then reduced to a carbohydrate. o carbohydrate in glucose form is a source of chemical energy for most organisms. a different membrane inside the stroma forms flattened sacs called thylakoids. o when thylakoids are stacked they form a grana. o inner compartments of individual thylakoid is called thylakoid space. o thylakoid membranes contain chlorophyll (green) and other pigments that are capable of absorbing the solar energy that drives photosynthesis. \n the process of photosynthesis 6co2 + 12h2o + solar energy c6h12o6 + 6h2o + 6o2 reactants: carbon dioxide and water products: carbohydrate, water and oxygen photosynthesis involves oxidation – reduction (redox) and the movement of electrons from one molecule to another. solar energy is used to generate the atp needed to reduce carbon dioxide to a carbohydrate. the role of nadp+/nadph nadp+ is the coenzyme of redox, active during photosynthesis. when nadp+ is reduced, it had accepted two electrons and one hydrogen atom, and when nadph is oxidized, it gives up its electrons. nadp+ + 2e + h+ nadph during photosynthesis when h2o splits, oxygen is released and the hydrogen atoms are taken up by nadp+. later, nadph reduces carbon dioxide to a carbohydrate. two sets of reactions the process of photosynthesis can be divided into two stages: 1. the light reactions: take place on thylakoids (day). 2. calvin cycle reactions: take place in the stroma (day and night). the light reactions: solar energy (sun) is converted to chemical energy (atp, nadph). the green pigment chlorophyll, present in thylakoid membranes, is responsible for absorbing the solar energy that drives photosynthesis. solar energy energizes electrons, which move down the electron transport chain. as electrons move down the electron transport chain, energy is released and captured to produce atp molecules. energized electrons are also taken up by nadp+, which is reduced and becomes nadph. calvin cycle reactions: atp, nadph carbohydrate the enzymes needed to speed the reduction of carbon dioxide during both day and night are located in the semifluid substance of the chloroplast stroma. carbon dioxide is taken up and converted (reduced) to a carbohydrate that can later be converted to glucose. the atp and nadph formed during light reactions are used to reduce carbon dioxide. \n o once atp and nadph are used, adp + p and nadp+ return back to light reaction to be utilized again. plants convert solar energy short wavelength: gamma rays longest wavelength: radio waves higherenergy wavelengths are screened out by the ozone layer in the atmosphere before they reach the earth’s surface. lowerenergy wavelengths are screens out by water vapor and carbon dioxide. visible light is the most prevalent – organisms have evolved using these. pigment and photosynthesis pigment molecules absorb wavelengths of light. o not all wavelengths, they reflect or transmit some. the pigments in chloroplast (chlorophyll) that are capable of absorbing various portions of visible light is called their absorption spectrum. green light is transmitted and reflected by chlorophyll, which is why plants appear green. photosynthetic organisms differ in the type of chlorophyll they contain. o chlorophyll a (green) o chlorophyll b (green) o both absorb violet, blue and red. carotenoids: pigments of plants and algae that is often yellow or orange in color (fall colors). spectrophotometer: measures the amount of light that passes through the sample, and from this it is possible to calculate how much was absorbed. electrons flow in the light reactions light reactions utilize two systems (in this order): photosystem ii photosystem i photosystem ii: electrons flow a noncyclic pathway that begins with photosystem ii. solar energy strikes the pigment complex (molecules of either chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b or carotenoids). solar energy is passed from one pigment to the other until it is concentrated in a particular pair of chlorophyll a molecules, called reaction center. \n electrons in the reaction center become energized, leave the reaction center and move to nearby electron acceptor molecules. electrons are replaced where they had left. o electrons are removed from water, which splits, releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. o the oxygen released typically gets used in mitochondria to make atp. o the hydrogen ions stay in the thylakoid space and contribute to the formation of a hydrogen ion gradient. an electron acceptor molecule sends energized electrons, received from the reaction center, down an electron transport chain. o electron transport chain: a series of carriers that pass electrons from one to another. as electrons are passed from one carrier to the next, energy is captured and stored in the form of hydrogen ion gradient. o atp that is produced here will be used by the calvin cycle (stroma) to reduce co2 to a carbohydrate. photosystem i: solar energy is absorbed by pigment complex. energized electrons leave the reaction center and are captured by electron acceptors. o lowenergy electrons from the etc replace those lost in psi. the electron acceptor molecule pass their electrons to nadp+ molecules. o nadp+ accepts 2 e and 1 h to become reduced and form nadph. o nadph is then used in the calvin cycle, along with atp to reduce co2 to a carbohydrate. end of photosystem ii, and i atp and nadph are not made in equal amounts during the light reactions. more atp is required during the calvin cycle. extra atp comes from cyclic pathway in photosystem i, an electron can be rerouted back to an earlier point in the etc – yielding more atp. as electrons are traveling down the electron transport chain, h+ is being pumped from the stroma into the thylakoid space. when h+ flow back out of the space into the stroma through an atp synthase complex, atp is produce from adp + p. this method of atp synthesis is called chemiosmosis, because atp production is tied to the establishment of h+ gradient. plants fix carbon dioxide the calvin cycle: will use atp and nadph for carbon dioxide fixation. \n light independent reaction, inside stroma. 3 steps of calvin cycle: 1. carbon dioxide fixation 2. carbon dioxide reduction 3. regeneration of rubp step 1: carbon dioxide fixation a molecule of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is attached to rubp, a 5carbon molecule. the result is one 6carbon molecule, which splits into two 3carbon molecules (3pg). the enzyme that speeds this reaction is rubp carboxylase. step 2: carbon dioxide reduction each of the two 3pg (3carbon molecules) undergoes reduction to g3p. done by adding atp and nadph. g3p has more electrons, and now more chemically able to store energy and form larger organic molecules. step 3: regeneration of rubp it takes three turns of the calvin cycle to allow one g3p to exit. for every three turns, 5 molecules of g3p are used to reform 3 molecules of rubp. done by adding 3 atp molecules. the importance of the calvin cycle g3p can be converted into other molecules a plant needs: o glucose o starting point for various carbohydrates to be produced o fatty acid synthesis, amino acid synthesis other types of photosynthesis c3 plants: use the enzyme rubp carboxylase to fix co2 to rubp in mesophyll (photosynthetic) cells. stomata: h2o can leave and co2 can enter. o if the weather is hot and dry the stomata close (conserving water) and cause co2 decrease and o2 increase. \n o o2 will combine with rubp rather than co2, resulting in one molecule of 3pg and the eventual release of co2. this is called photorespiration. c4 plants: fix co2 to pep (a 3carbon molecule) using the enzyme pep carboxylase. the result = oxaloacetate (4carbon molecule). higher photosynthetic rate because they can avoid photorespiration. pep carboxylase does not combine with o2 – even when stomata are closed, co2 is delivered to the calvin cycle in the bundle sheeth cells. when the weather is moderate c3 plants have the advantage. when the weather is hot/dry c4 plants have the advantage. cam plant: fix co2 at night (open stomata), forming a 4carbon molecule that is released to the calvin cycle during the day. chapter 8: cellular respiration cellular respiration: process by which cells acquire energy by breaking down nutrient molecules produced by photosynthesizes. require oxygen and gives off co2 (opposite of photosynthesis). cellular respiration involves the complete breakdown of glucose to carbon dioxide and water (h2o). c6h12o6 + 6o2 6co2 + 6h20 + energy cellular respiration breaks down glucose (high energy) to co2 and h20 (low energy), thus energy is released. o the energy that is released is used to make atp. the cell carries out cellular respiration in order to build atp molecules. energy within glucose is released slowly, so atp production can gradually occur. o 3638 atp molecules after complete breakdown. o 3940% of the energy that was available from glucose. nad+ and fad nad+: coenzyme of oxidationreduction. nad+ + 2e + h nadh the electrons received by nad+ are high energy electrons that are carried to the etc. only a small amount of nad+ needs to be present, because it can be used over and over. fad: coenzyme of oxidation – reduction. fad + 2e + 2h fadh2 \n phases of cellular respiration: 1. glycolysis (anaerobic) 2. the preparatory reaction (aerobic) 3. the citric acid cycle (aerobic) 4. the electron transport chain (aerobic) glycolysis takes place outside the mitochondria, in the cytoplasm and does not require the presence of oxygen. the other three phases occur inside mitochondria, where oxygen is the final acceptor of electrons. glycolysis: takes place in the cytoplasm, breakdown of 6carbon molecule glucose to two 3 carbon pyruvate molecules. two steps of glycolysis: 1. energy – investment: atp is used to “jumpstart” glycolysis. 2. energy – harvesting: 4 total atp made, producing two net overall. energyinvestment two atp are used to activate glucose by adding phosphate. glucose eventually split into two g3p molecules (3carbon). o each g3p phosphate group is acquired from one atp molecule. o from this point on – each g3p molecule undergoes the same series of reactions. energy – harvesting oxidation of g3p now occurs by the removal of electrons, accompanied by hydrogen ions. electrons are picked up by coenzyme nad+: per g3p molecule. when o2 is available, each nadh molecule carries two highenergy electrons to the etc and becomes nad+ again. a phosphate group is added to each 3carbon molecule. o used to synthesize 2 atp in later steps of glycolysis. o this is called substratelevel atp synthesis because an enzyme passes high energy phosphate to adp, and atp results. o coupled reaction o the adding of a phosphate yields: g3p bpg now: 2 molecules of 3pg (3carbons + p) oxidation occurs again, but by the removal of h2o. substratelevel atp synthesis occurs again per 3carbon molecule (p). o two molecules of pyruvate results (3carbon). o when o2 is available pyruvate enters mitochondria, where it is metabolized. \n subtracting the two atp that were used to get started, from the four produced overall, there is a net gain of two atp from glycolysis. glycolysis is a series of ten steps – each catalyzed by an enzyme. outside the mitochondria: fermentation fermentation: anaerobic process that produces a limited amount of atp in the absence of oxygen. in human/animal cells pyruvate is reduced by nadh to lactate. depending on their enzyme, bacteria vary as to whether they produce an organic acid (like lactate) or an alcohol and co2. when two (3carbon) molecules of pyruvate are not available to o2: animals and bacteria: (2) 3carbon lactate plants and yeast: (2) co2 molecules given off, (2) co2 alcohol fermentation is beneficial because the cell still needs energy when oxygen is absent. fermentation regenerates nad+ so it can be used again. 2 atp result from fermentation: 2.1% of the total breakdown of glucose inside the mitochondria mitochondrion has a double membrane with an intermembrane space (between the outer and inner membrane). cristae are folds of inner membrane that jut into the matrix, the inner most compartment, filled with gellike fluid. the prep reaction, citric acid cycle and etc are all located in the mitochondria. o oxygen must be present. o the enzymes that speed the prep reaction and citric acid cycle are in the matrix. the etc is located in the cristae. mitochondria is considered the powerhouse of the cell because most of the atp is produced here. the preparatory reaction: converts products from glycolysis into products that enter the citric acid cycle. one prep reaction occurs per pyruvate molecule (twice). 3carbon pyruvate is converted to a 2carbon acetyl group and co2 is given off. o this is oxidation reaction in which electrons are removed from pyruvate by nad+ and nadh is formed. o nadh carries highenergy electrons to the etc. \n o co2 diffuses into cells. 2carbon acetyl group is combined with a molecule known as coa. o coa carries each acetyl group to the citric acid cycle. the citric acid cycle: krebs cycle 2carbon acetyl group joins with 4carbon molecule, and 6carbon citrate results. oxidation occurs – nad+ is reduced to nadh and co2 is released. now, a 5carbon molecule ketoglutarate. again, nad+ is reduced to nadh and co2 is released. atp is produced – adp + p. now, a 4carbon molecule succinate. fad is reduced to fadh2. now, 4carbon molecule fumarate. nad+ is reduced to nadh. now, 4carbon molecule oxaloacetate. the cycle terns twice per glucose molecule. production of co2 6carbon atoms originally in glucose have now become co2. the prep reactions produces 2 and the citric acid cycle produces 4. electron transport chain located in cristae of mitochondria and the plasma membrane of aerobic prokaryotes, is a series of carriers that pass electrons from one to another. the high energy electrons that enter are carried by nadh and fadh2. when both nadh and fadh2 give up their highenergy electrons they become oxidized and return back to nad+ and fad. many of the redox carriers are cytochrome molecules. cytochrome is a protein, with a central atom of iron. as electrons travel down the etc, energy is captured and eventually used to form atp molecules. oxygen is the final acceptor of electrons from the etc: after receiving electrons, oxygen combines with hydrogen ions and water forms. cycling of carriers when nadh delivers electrons to etc – 3 atp when fadh2 delivers electrons to etc – 2 atp \n coenzymes are then recycled – reused. the etc pumps hydrogen ions the h+ ions flow down a gradient from the intermembrane space into the matrix, the enzyme atp synthase synthesizes atp from adp + p. chemiosmosis: atp production is tied to the establishment of an h+ gradient. atp then moved out of the mitochondria and is used to preform cellular work, during which it breaks down to adp + p. atp totals substratelevel atp synthesis: per glucose molecule there is a net gain of two atp from glycolysis (in cytoplasm). the citric acid cycle (matrix of mitochondria) accounts for two atp per glucose molecule. etc yields 3234 atp molecules. grand total: 3638 atp molecules. metabolic pool catabolism: break down molecules – must be balanced with constructive reactions (anabolism). this balance is essential to optimal cellular function. chapter 9: the cell cycle and cellular respiration cell cycle is a set of stages that takes place between the time a eukaryotic cell divides and the times the resulting daughter cells also divide. interphase: time when cell preforms its normal functions. most of the cell cycle is spent in interphase. g1 stage: cell grows in size and increases the number of organelles, and accumulates materials needed for dna synthesis. g0 stage: rested cells – continue normal functions but do not prepare for cell division. s stage: dna replication occurs – two identical dna double helix molecules. chromatid: one single double helix molecule. sister chromatids: two identical dna double helix molecules – remain attached until mitosis where they are separated. g2 stage: the cell synthesizes the proteins needed for cell division. \n apoptosis: programmed cell death. cell division increases and apoptosis decreases the number of somatic (body) cells. the eukaryotic chromosome: contains a single double helix molecule. dna wraps around a histone protein. euchromatin: loosely coiled, represents the active chromatin containing genes that are being transcribed. heterchromatin: highly compacted – inactive chromatin. chromosome numbers diploid (2n): total number of chromosomes found in all cells of an individual. haploid (n): one chromosome of each kind (half diploid number). chromosome duplication before nuclear division, dna replicates, duplicating the chromosomes in the parent cell. o occurs during s stage of interphase. each new chromosome has two identical chromatids (double helical molecules). o new identical chromatids are called sister chromatids. sister chromatids are restricted and attached to each other at a region called centrosome. protein complexes called kinetochores develop on each side. o kinetochores attach to spindle fibers in mitotic stage. division of the centrosome the centrosome divides before mitosis begins. in animal cells each centrosome contains a pair of barrel shaped organelles called centrioles. phases of mitosis: prophase: nucleolus disappears and the nuclear envelope fragments. spindle fibers begin to assemble as the two centrosomes migrate away from one another. premetaphase (late prophase): kinetochores appear on each side of centromere, and these attach sister chromatids to the kinetochore spindle fibers. metaphase: chromosome (each consisting of two sister chromatids) are at the metaphase plate (center of fully formed spindle). anaphase: daughter chromosomes (each consisting of one chromatid) are moving toward the poles of the spindle. \n telophase: daughter cells are forming as nuclear envelopes and nucleoli appear. chromosomes will become indistinct chromatin. cytokinesis: two cell formation animal cells: cleavage furrow plant cells: cell plate ",

memory management techniques (disadvantages of the old schemes) entire program loaded into memory contiguous storage stays in memory until job completed each places severe restrictions on job size sufficient for first three generations of computers multiprogramming not supported in singleuser contiguous 10 describe the new memory management allocation schemes paged memory allocation o divides

pieces), where the segments are different sizes segmented/demand paged memory o combination of segmentation and demand paging virtual memory o combination of ram and disk space that running processes

processor manager composite of two submanagers job scheduler: higherlevel scheduler o job scheduling responsibilities o job initiation based on certain criteria process scheduler: lowerlevel scheduler o process scheduling responsibilities o determines execution steps o process scheduling based on certain criteria hold (handled by job scheduler) ready (handled by process scheduler) waiting (handled by process scheduler) running (handled by process scheduler) finished (handled by job scheduler) six algorithm types firstcome, firstserved (fcfs) – nonpreemptive shortest job next (sjn) – nonpreemptive priority scheduling – nonpreemptive shortest remaining time (srt) – preemptive round robin (rr)– preemptive multiplelevel queues – more of a package, 1 queue per policy \n concurrency is a property of systems in which several computations are executing simultaneously, and potentially interacting with each other multiple processes within os multiple threads within a process there is no need for ‘rules’ if there is no shared resources (e.g. data) or resource/data is constant (readonly), otherwise we need synchronization… lack of process synchronization consequences • deadlock: “deadly embrace” • system comes to standstill • resolved via external intervention • starvation • infinite postponement of job 12 identify the four basic functions of device management monitoring of status of each device enforcing policies to determine which process will get a device and for how long. allocating the device deallocating the device dedicated devices (e.g. printer) shared devices (e.g. hard disk) virtual devices a virtual device is a combination of dedicated and shared devices. it is actually a dedicated device which is transformed to a shared device.

"text": "review guide for exam 1 explain how we define the exterior from the interior of the body the internal environment of the body is separated from the external environment by the epithelial barrier provided by the skin on the outside, and by the linings of the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, and kidney tubules on the inside. be able to thoroughly describe the fluid compartments and their contents. all the water inside the cells is the intracellular fluid (icf) and contains many proteins and a relatively high concentration of potassium. the water outside the cells is extracellular fluid (ecf) and contains few proteins and more sodium. about 20% of the ecf comprises the water portion of the blood plasma. the largest portion of the ecf (80%) bathes most of the cells in the body and is called the interstitial fluid (isf). explain homeostasis and its importance the internal constancy is called homeostasis. maintenance of homeostasis is the overall mission of the physiological systems of the body. how is temperature and glucose controlled in the body negative feedback mechanisms explain the functional units of the body – especially the make up of organs and organ systems cells are the basic functional unit of the body. two or more cell types are grouped to form tissues with specific functions in physiological control. the tissues are also grouped by combining 2 or more tissue types to form organs. organs typically have specific jobs in physiological function and are often combined with other organs to form systems. how do amino acids differ from each other each amino acid contains a central alpha carbon covalently bonded to a carboxyl group, an amine group, a hydrogen, and a variable r group or functional group. they differ only at the rgroup and their different chemical characteristics arise solely from this part of the molecule. what are peptide bonds, polar and nonpolar and ionic bonds. peptide bonds are the covalent bond that holds the amino acids together. polar bonds occur when the electrons are shared unequally. nonpolar bonds occur when atoms share electrons equally. ionic bonds occur when cations and anions bond by electrical attraction. explain covalent bonds \n results when two atoms share electrons. a positively charged nucleus of one element is attracted to the negatively charged electron of the other. the orbitals merge, and the electrons are then equally attracted to and shared by the two nuclei. explain the difference between phospholipids, saturated fatty acids, eicosanoids, steroids and triglycerides? phospholipids: lipids where glycerol combines with two fatty acids one of which is an unsaturated fatty acid saturated fatty acids: contain carbons linked by single bonds. carbon atoms are bonded adjacently to each other leaving two open binding sites, which become occupied by hydrogen atoms. when all the bonding sites are filled with hydrogen molecules, the chain becomes “saturated”. eicosanoids: signaling molecules that exert complex control over many bodily systems, mainly in inflammation or immunity, and as messengers in the central nervous system. steroids: lipids characterized by a fourfused ring of carbon atoms. all steroids have three 6sided carbon rings and one 5sided carbon ring. they perform a number of functions ranging from growth to sexual development. triglycerides: the storage form of fats. they are formed from glycerol molecules containing three hydroxyl groups that combine with the carboxyl groups of the three fatty acids. what does amphipathic mean? what is the relevance of this word to phospholipids and the makeup of the cell membrane. a lipid molecule containing both polar and nonpolar regions is called amphipathic. this means the polar head region can dissolve in water, but the non polar tail regions cannot. amphipathic is both hydrophobic and hydrophilic. explain the difference between the lipids, carbohydrates, protens, nueleotides and polysaccharides lipds: important fats that perform three primary biological functions within the body – they serve as structural components of cell membranes, function as energy storehouses, and function as important signaling molecules. carbohydrates: composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a ratio of 1:2:1. can be subdivided into three major groups of monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. proteins: a molecule that consists of one or more chains of amino acid covalently bonded to each other like beads on a string. they are very important to survival and are used to build numerous working structures in the body including collagen, enzymes, antibodies, receptors, carriers for transportation, and can be used as an energy source. nucleotides: function in the transfer of energy within cells, signaling and form the \n genetic material of the cells. polysaccharides: the covalent bonding of several monosaccharides. examples are glycogen, starch, and cellulose. describe the function of the organelles. what is the difference between membranous versus nonmembranous organelles? organelles are a variety of biomolecules that carry out specific functions of the body. some membrane organelles are separated from the cytosol by one or more membranes and other nonmembranous organelles have no such boundary within the cytosol. describe the methods by which cells are joined together. what type of connection forms the tight junction? in many tissues special membrane proteins called cell adhesion molecules hold cells together. these binding sites are referred to as “junctions”. tight junctions are found in epithelial tissue specialized for molecular transport, integral membrane proteins called occludins fuse adjacent cells together to form a nearly impermeable barrier to the movement of substance between cells. desmosomes are plaque formed by glycoproteins in each cell, which provides strength to cell junctions. they provide strength to the cell junctions so they cannot be torn apart. a gap junction connects two adjacent cells by connexins which allows movement between cells and even passage of some chemical messengers. describe the structure of the ribosome. how does the ribosome work to produce proteins? make sure you know the name of each site on the ribosome. ribosomes are dense granules composed of rrna and proteins that function in protein synthesis. they work to produce proteins: aug codon attracts the trna with anticodon complimentary to aug, which codes for methanine. then the second trna molecule with the appropriate anticodon enters the ribosome at the asite, and a peptide bond is formed between the two amino acids. first amino acid is released and leaves the psite and the ribosome moves down the mrna 3 bases (1 codon). large subunit on top and small subunit on bottom. small ribosomal unit attracted to the cap area and slides into alignment with the initiation codon aug. the asite (acceptor) – trna enters with amino acids the psite (primary) – protein chain is built make sure you have a good understanding of protein synthesis while the dna is located in the nucleus, protein synthesis takes place in cytoplasm of the cell. a gene must be copied from a portion of one strand of the dna to rna for transport out of the cell to begin protein synthesis in the cytosol. 1.the genetic code is transcribed from dna onto a messenger rna. \n 2. the messenger rna moves from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. 3. the messenger rna code is translated by the ribosomes on the er to form the correct amino acid. know the following: anabolic: catabolic, reactants and products and substrates reactants: chemical substances entering the reaction products: different substances that are created after the reaction anabolic: smaller molecules form to create larger molecules catabolic: the breakdown of larger molecules into smaller ones substrates: a reactant specific for enzymatic reactions make sure you understand oxidation, glycolysis and phosphorylation oxidation: when electrons have been removed from a molecule and also refer to the removal of hydrogen atoms from a molecule. oxidation reactions are broadly defined by the involvement of oxygen because oxygen tends to pull electrons from other molecules. glycolysis: when glycogen is broken down into its individual glucose molecules. phosphorylation: the addition of a phosphate group, the bond formed is called a phosphate bond. quite often this process serves to activate it and cause another molecule to act in a specific way in the cell. describe hydrolysis, condensation, reduction, dephosphorylation, activation energy barrier hydrolysis: breaking of bonds within the molecule and the addition of water to form new products. a water molecule splits into two parts – a hydroxyl group and a hydrogen. condensation: the reverse of hydrolysis, smaller molecules is joined together to form a larger one. desphosphorylation: the removal of a phosphate group. activation energy barrier: for reactants to become products and vice versa, molecules must have sufficient potential energy to surmount the activation energy barrier, and they must acquire some extra energy called activation energy. in this situation the molecules have overcome this barrier and entered into the transition state. what are trace metals? explain their importance an important group of cofactors such as iron, copper, magnesium, and zinc. they allow the enzyme to react with the substrate, without cofactors enzymes would lose their shape and activity. our primary source of these minerals is through our diet; our body needs these to provide the cofactors for certain enzyme activity. without these cofactors the enzyme loses its shape and its activity. make sure you understand how enzymes work and the factors affecting their action. \n enzymes orient the substrate molecules so new chemical bonds are more easily formed or more easily broken. in this way, enzymes reduce the activation energy required for the reaction to proceed. enzyme reaction will increase in direct proportion to the substrate concentration. higher affinity translates into higher rates of enzyme catalyzed reactions. enzymes become increasingly effective as temperature rises until a plateau is reached slightly above body temperature. if ph gets too acidic or basic, enzyme function can be compromised to the point where the cell cannot maintain homeostasis. describe allosteric regulation, covalent regulation, metabolic pathway regulation, the meaning of ratelimiting, catalytic rate allosteric regulation: by binding to the regulatory site, the modulator can alter the shape of the active site, thereby altering its catalytic rate by changing the affinity for the substrate. the reaction is reversible. covalent regulation: changes in an enzyme’s activity are brought about by the covalent bonding of a special chemical group on the special site on the enzyme. metabolic pathway regulation: the rate of the entire pathway can only proceed as fast as the rate of the slowest reaction within the pathway. the enzyme catalyzing the slowest reaction is called the ratelimiting enzyme. thus, if the activity of the slowest enzyme is increased, the rate of the whole pathway is increased. catalytic rate: the rate at which an enzyme catalyzes a reaction, which is primarily determined by how many product molecules, the enzyme can generate per unit time. what is atp – what is its importance? the human body converts forms of fats, proteins and carbs into a chemical form of atp. it is important for muscle cells to produce movement, moving ions across cell membranes, and transmitting nerve impulses. explain glycolysis, where it occurs in the cell, the krebs cycle and its significance, the significance of oxygen and what happens to the end product of glycolysis when oxygen is in low supply glycolysis takes place in the cytosol. glucose is transported into the cell via glucose transporters on the cell membrane. in the cytosol, it enters into glycolysis, which is a series of reactions ending with pyruvate or lactate. the krebs cycle takes place in the mitochondrial matrix of the cell. it is important because it provides considerable quantities of nadh+h+ carrying energy to drive the electron transport chain located on the inner membrane of the mitochondria, subsequently to supply oxidative phosphorylation and the synthesis of atp. 1.glycolysis 2. linking step \n 3. one nad is reduced and one co2 is formed 4. another nad is reduced and co2 formed 5. one atp is formed 6. one fad is reduced 7. fad transports h+ to the inner membrane 8. one nad is reduced if oxygen supply is low it will turn into lactic acid/lactate instead of pyruvate and cause muscle fatigue. explain the electron transport chain and the name of the complexes (including their location) there are several enzymes inserted into the inner membrane forming a type of assembly line referred to as the electron transport chain. the process begins with nadh+h+ passing two electrons to nadh dehydrogenase. coenzyme q picks up a pair of electrons from nadh dehydrogenase and passes the electrons on to cytochrome b. cytochrome c picks up one electron at a time from cytochrome bc1 and transfers it to cytochrome oxidase. oxygen then combines with two h+ ions to produce water and four h+ ions are pumped from the matrix into the intermembrane space. oxygen is the final acceptor of the electrons and links with two h+ ions to form water. complex 1 = nadh dehydrogenase complex 2 = is inserted into the membrane and is not usually discussed because it has minor energetic consequence complex 3 = cytochrome bc1 complex 4 = cytochrome oxidase where is glycogen, potassium and sodium found? glycogen is found in muscle tissue for energy we need during physical activity also in the liver when we need to restore our blood glucose levels in the body. sodium is found in extracellular fluid and potassium is found in intracellular fluid. describe how molecules are passively transported across a membrane and how their direction is determined no energy is required and it can occur by simple diffusion or it can occur as facilitated transport using an integral membrane protein specifically designed to help a molecule move down its concentration gradient. the flow occurs from high concentration to low concentration. what is facilitated diffusion? what is a transporter? the process whereby a membrane protein binds and assists the movement of a molecule from one side of the membrane to the other. transporters simply allow the passage of molecules across the membrane at a much faster rate than would \n occur through normal diffusion, therefore bringing about equilibrium more rapidly. what are aquaporins? the sodiumpotassium pump? aquaporins are channels that water moves through. the na/k pump transports na+ and k+ ions in opposite directions across the cell membrane. for each cycle of the pump, three na+ ions are transported out of the cell, and two k+ ions are transported in. this pump is present in nearly every cell and is crucial to several physiological processes. make sure you are familiar with the transport processes for moving ions into and out of the cell. primary active transport: use atp, or some other chemical energy source to transport substance secondary active transport: powered by a concentration gradient, or an electrochemical gradient previously created. vascular transport: another way macromolecules enter cells. epithelial transport: cell membranes function to transport materials completely through the cell understand all the transport mechanisms. pumps: proteins actively transporting molecules across the membrane are referred to as pumps. pumps differ from carrier proteins because they use energy to move molecules in a preferred direction across the membrane. carrier proteins: whereas carrier proteins always transport molecules down the concentration gradient. transport proteins: designed to couple the movement of one substance to the movement of another. as one molecule moves passively down its electrochemical gradient it releases energy that drives the other molecule. exocytosis: when vesicles transport materials outside the cell. endocytosis: when vesicles transport materials into the cell. transcellular pathway: requires a clear transit path created by specialized transporters and channels in both the apical and basolateral membrane. transcytosis: a large molecule is taken into the cell by endocytosis and then it travels to the other side of the cell and fuses with the plasma membrane to release its contents outside of the cell by exocytosis. exam 1 knowledge checks \n 1. the smallest living units capable of carrying out their own basic life functions are called… o cells 2. the cell types blood, bone, fat, and lymph would be categorized into which of the following major cell classes?
