Explain in the form of a report to Management what provisions would be applicable in order to achieve accreditation from each scheme and make a recommendation as to which of the two system you consider most suitable for this scenario.

SPACE STRATEGIES AND LEGISLATION
All questions are based on the following scenario:
Your company owns and manages an industrial / commercial estate located in the South East of England. The estate comprises of a number of commercial properties of approximately similar size. The properties are a combination of single-storey and two-storey warehouse type buildings with a variety of tenant organisations occupying them. The oldest property was built in the mid-1950s and the most recent was completed in 1995.
The majority of the properties require refurbishment to bring them up to an appropriate business standard, including environmental and health and safety issues and the requirements of the Equality Act 2010. At the moment, most of the properties have tenants who have occupied the buildings for some considerable time. The current demand for these types of properties is high but clients / tenants are expecting good quality, cost efficient and sustainable accommodation and they are not willing to accept low standards of buildings or a poor external and internal environment.
Extensive works need to be carried out on the estate when two tenants giving notice that they will not renew their leases when they expire in a few months’ time. They have indicated they are moving to larger and more modern premises that meet their projected needs.
Despite the current high level of demand your company is worried that they will have problems finding new tenants for the vacant properties in their current conditions.
The company’s directors have been presented with two very different strategies:
” Not to undertake any rehabilitation works and to allow units to remain vacant with a view to disposal of the properties.
” To make each unit more attractive to either new or existing tenants by undertaking extensive refurbishment works to the buildings and the estate generally.
The company has decided to adopt the latter option and prepare proposals based on the current position and you have been given the task of managing the refurbishment project.

Your task is to develop a strategy that has discrete parts;
1. a) Refurbish the two properties to a high standard as they become vacant.  Both properties will become vacant at the same time.

2. b) Refurbish the occupied properties to the same high standard after the vacant properties have been refurbished. This will require careful negotiations with the existing tenants.

The directors have agreed that there are options within the strategy:

3. To refurbish the two vacant properties and to find new tenants for them,

4. To (ask) the existing tenants to move to the newly refurbished properties and then refurbish the ones that they vacate. If this scenario is adopted the process will continue until all properties are refurbished.

5. To refurbish the properties with the tenants still in occupation.
Questions (Your answers must be fully referenced using the Harvard method)

1. It is the intention of the company to achieve accreditation for the estate through BREEAM or LEED. Explain in the form of a report to Management what provisions would be applicable in order to achieve accreditation from each scheme and make a recommendation as to which of the two system you consider most suitable for this scenario.

2. If the refurbishment of each occupied property is carried out with the tenants still in- situ, there are potentially serious health and safety implications. Outline:

3. One of the tenant organisations is concerned that full implications of the Equality Act 2010 with regards to provisions for disabled access will apply to them as service providers. They have asked for details of your proposals for the refurbishment to ensure that the estate and the various buildings on the estate accord with the requirements of the Act. In a report format, write to all organisations who occupy buildings on the estate indicating how the refurbishment will achieve compliance.

4. The project has commenced and is at an advanced stage with both of the vacant properties almost completely refurbished and work is planned to commence on two other buildings. The occupiers of the buildings that are about to have refurbishment work started have made final arrangements to vacate the properties and relocate into the newly refurbished buildings. They are due to move within the next five days. You have just been informed that there was a serious fire on the first floor of one of the recently completed buildings and that this will mean the building will need some extensive remedial works before it can be fully occupied. Discuss how your disaster recovery plan will allow the situation to be retrieved.

What can an anthropological study of childrearing tell us about American culture? How do American childrearing practices reflect anthropological theories regarding the cultural construction of personhood?

What can an anthropological study of childrearing tell us about American culture?

How do American childrearing practices reflect Anthropological theories regarding the cultural construction of personhood? Are these practices consistently individualistic or Holistic? Or both? Are there any contradictions within these practices?

Your essay should have an introduction with a main point, body paragraphs with transitions between them, and a conclusion (that is actually a conclusion and not just a summary of your main points!!)

You should use evidence to support your points.

Use the information from the reading on individualistic and holistic personhood (Robbins’ “Cultural Construction of Identity) and analyze the material on the following site:

Papers that offer evidence/citations from any other sources (i.e. other than the website and the Robbins paper) will receive a failing grade. So no need for outside sources!

Only examine and discuss data for children aged 0-6/toddler & pre-school. Don’t write about children older than 6

When you offer a quote or a citation from the website, use the following system:

 

Discuss with your mentor teacher ways in which ELL progress in the language domains is measured and the types of assessment data utilized to inform instruction.

Alignment between the learning objectives and ELP standards is achieved.

Observe at least one grade K-12 classroom with ELLs. Focus your observations on how the alignment between the learning objectives and ELP standards is achieved.

Discuss with your mentor teacher ways in which ELL progress in the language domains is measured and the types of assessment data utilized to inform instruction. Additionally, discuss with your mentor how Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and English language proficiency (ELP) standards can inform instruction.

Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the mentor teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.

Write a 250-500 word summary of your discussion and observation, and reflect on the application of UDL to your future professional practice.

Your reflection should address the following:

How elements of UDL could inform ELL curriculum and instruction

A brief explanation regarding alignment between ELP standards and learning objectives

Examples of assessment tools used to measure and document ELL progress

Examples of at least two types of assessment data used to inform ELL instruction

Explain why it is appropriate for Optimus to value the Electrobicycle project using its WACC.

 

Imagine that you own a company, Optimus, Inc., which is funded with 40% debt and 60% common stock; there is no preferred stock in the capital structure. The debt has an after-tax cost of 4%. You have studied the Electrobicycle project, and you believe that the auto company who has done the research and development (R&D) has made a crucial mistake. You believe that after the first 5 years, there will be worldwide expansion opportunities and many more years of revenues and earnings from selling Electrobicycles. Thus, you would not shut down the project in Year 5. Instead, you believe you will be able to sell the Electrobicycle business in Year 5 to a multinational company that will continue to produce the products and sell them internationally for many years into the future. You believe the sale of the Electrobicycle business in Year 5 will be for at least $15.0 million. Thus, you believe the value of the Electrobicycle project is significantly higher than the auto company realizes.

For the initial post,

Calculate Optimus’ required rate of return on equity using the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). For the CAPM, use the following assumptions:

Use a risk-free rate of 4.0%.

Use 6.0% as the market risk premium.

For the beta, use the beta below, according to the first letter of your first name

First Letter of First Name Beta

A through B 0.30

C through D 0.40

E through F 0.50

G through H 0.60

I through J 0.70

K through L 0.80

M through N 0.90

O through P 1.00

Q through R 1.10

S through T 1.20

U through V 1.30

W through Z 1.40

Calculate the WACC for Optimus. As a reminder, Optimus is funded with 40% debt and 60% common stock; there is no preferred stock in the capital structure. The debt has an after-tax cost of 4%.

Use the Optimus required rate of return on equity that you calculated using the CAPM.

Explain why it is appropriate for Optimus to value the Electrobicycle project using its WACC. Compare using the WACC to using solely the cost of equity in valuing the Electrobicycle project.

• The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis says that our language shapes our reality. Reflect on ONE of the following questions:

O There are indigenous languages in North and South America that lack possessive and perosnal pronouns

Based on the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, what does that tell us about the respective culture in which the language is spoken?

O If you speak more than one language, have you ever come across words that are difficult to translate into another language?

Have yo uencountered words that seem to be “missing” in another language?

What does that say about the two cultures in which the languages are spoken?

O In the English language, we have many more negative words to describe women than men, and many names for professions/jobs do not have a feminine form of the word at all.

Does the implementation of Nurse-Initiated Analgesia lead to an improvement in quality of care???

Here is my PICOT QUESTION: PICOT QUESTION
In adult patients with moderate to severe pain presenting to the ER, does the implementation of Nurse-Initiated Analgesia improve quality of care based on indicators such as safety, timeliness of care, and patient satisfaction compared to no intervention at all?

P: Adult patients presenting to the ER with moderate to severe pain.

I: Implementation of Nurse-Initiated Analgesia

C: Compared to no intervention at all

O: Does the implementation of Nurse-Initiated Analgesia lead to an improvement in quality of care???

chose this PICOT question as  experienced my workflow processes delayed during many occurrences due to lack of patient cooperation as a result of patient being in pain. Pain management in the ER is a huge concern that requires improvement. Pain management ultimately influences a patient’s satisfaction regarding provision of care. Pain management delays occur daily within the emergency department impacting quality of care. When a patient presents to the ER for pain, they typically wait an average of 3-4hours or more prior to receiving an analgesic. Patient reports of pain is subjective and each individual has their own level of pain tolerance. As a healthcare provider it is my duty to advocate for my patients. Nurse-initiated analgesia is a possible solution. Will permitting Nurse-initiated analgesia provide nurses Autonomy by means of either a medical directive or a standardized protocol, improve quality of care for patients based on indicators such as safety, timeliness of care, and patient satisfaction compared to no intervention at all?
