THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE

You have to watch the movie The Manchurian Candidate (1962). Make sure it is the original movie not the remake. Then you have to do the following 5 components in an essay format:

1) an introduction that provides an overview of your paper for the reader.

2) a brief description of the film’s plot (no more than 250 words).

3) brief biographical sketches of at least three of the principal persons involved in the making or production of the film. Depending on the film you select, these may include the film director, the screenwriter, several of the performers, the cinematographer, the music composer, or others. If appropriate, describe the significance of the film in the context of that person’s career. For a guide to biographical reference books, click on Biographical Sources on Film.

4) a description and critical evaluation of three reviews that were written at the time the film was first released. In selecting the three reviews, aim for some balance and variety in your sources (i.e., look for different types of publications with different points of view, if possible–for instance, it is better if not all three reviews come from daily newspapers). Do not simply summarize the content of each review; rather try to analyze and assess the author’s perspective. The instructor may be able to assist you in locating reviews, if necessary. Please be sure to provide complete bibliographic citations of your reviews, including electronic versions if applicable. For more information on finding reviews, click on Finding Reviews of 1960s Films.

5) your own assessment of the film in relation to its cultural and/or historical context. Based on what you know about the 1960s (and what you have read in the course textbooks), do you think the film is a representative artifact of its time and culture? Why or why not?

Revising Organizational Culture

Recently it was announced that two major hospital systems would be merging their services in to one entity. Both are comprised of multiple hospital units and specialty clinics. While on the surface, this has been touted as an economical move with substantial savings to both parties and the potential to solidify their market share, there are as yet many barriers to overcome.

For instance, one system has its roots as a Catholic entity, while the other began with its origins as a Jewish facility.

The medical staff is divided on whether the merger is good for patients and their practices. Both groups of employees are understandably unsettled as it is uncertain who of the senior administrative staff will remain. The organizational culture of both institutions is also of major concern.

Given these circumstances, what form or model(s) of leadership would you bring to bear? Describe in detail the steps you would take to redirect the mission and vision of this new emerging entity.

MBA executive / organizational learning / Discussions for this week

Discussions – in two parts:

This week focuses on learning from an individual perspective and how an individual’s learning experience interacts within the organisational learning framework. Starting with yourself, you can begin to see the relationship between the individual learner and his or her own learning process within an organisation.

PART 1:
To prepare for the first discussion, review the resources developing Kolb’s experiential learning theory, cognitivism, and the contrasting social constructivist theory. In addition, think again about the notion of the learning organisation in relation to your own working context.

With these thoughts in mind, in a 500- to 750-word response, post your answers to the following to the Discussion Board:

• What forms of learning have you experienced in your working life? What learning sources do you consult when you need to know about something? Do you think of this as a form of learning?

Remember to cite and reference examples from the readings and journal articles for this week, add at least three of your own research – in sum 7 expected. Harvard Style.

PART 2:

To prepare for the second discussion, read the article by Ladkin et al. (2009). Reflect on your learning experience so far specifically as an online learner.
In a 500- to 750-word reflection, post your thoughts on the following to the Discussion Board:

• On the basis of the learning styles referred to in Reynolds (1997), discuss whether ‘learning in cyberspace’ is a more individual process than ‘traditional’ learning in a lecture theatre or classroom. Make reference to the reading by Donna Ladkin and her colleagues.

Remember to cite and reference examples from the readings and journal articles for this week, add at least two of your own research – in sum 7 expected. Harvard Style.

Keep in mind: Both parts have to be separate → two discussions!

Articles also given and uploaded.

4 BackgroundBackground BackgroundBackground Background BackgroundBackground
One of the oldest communications protocol is RS232, or ��serial’. Up until recently, all PCs had a 9-pin ��D-type’ serial port for connecting serial devices like a mouse. RS232 was used on the old ��teletype’ terminals as a means of communicating with a host computer. Embedded systems use serial communications to exchange data with other embedded systems or ��host’ computers.
An RS232 frame can be composed of a group of 10 bits, clocked out by a 555 timer-based ��baud rate’ generator. The bits in this frame can be set low or high by an ��RDL’ (resistor-diode logic) OR gate. These 5V logic signals can be converted to the correct RS232 voltage levels by a ��MAX232’ chip.
A simple RS232 character generator can be made from a 555, a CMOS 4017 decade Johnson Counter (sometimes called a Ring Counter) and a set of diodes+resistor.
A specification for your particular system is given in Appendix A. You must design and construct a character generator to meet the specification. You must also simulate and measure its performance, and deliver your device and a report for assessment.
In addition to the specification at Appendix A, you should refer to the following documentation:
1. LM555 Timer data sheet. See http://www.national.com/ds/LM/LM555.pdf
2. 4017 data sheet: http://w3.id.tue.nl/fileadmin/id/objects/E-Atelier/doc/Datasheets/40XX/hef4017b.pdf 5 TaskTask
You need to do the following things:
1. Design a circuit to meet the attached specification.
2. Illustrate your circuit design using a schematic diagram created in ISIS.
3. Simulate your circuit design from ISIS using Proteus VSM, to confirm correct operation.
4. Create a PCB layout for your circuit using ARES, and have the PCB made for you by the electronics technicians.
5. Construct your circuit on PCB, using components available from electronics stores.
6. Test your circuit in the laboratory, making appropriate measurements on an oscilloscope and then a PC to demonstrate that the specification has been met.
7. Document your results in a report, and submit your report and your circuit as described at section 3, above.
6 Reporting ReportingReporting Reporting
Your report must have the following contents:
1. A circuit design description including references to source material and incorporating design calculations where required and a schematic diagram generated from ISIS.
2. Simulation results, generated using Proteus VSM from ISIS, confirming that the design should meet the specification.
3. A PCB layout for the circuit, generated from ARES.
4. A description of the testing undertaken to show that the circuit meets the specification, matching (within component value and measurement uncertainties) design calculations and simulation results.
Clarity of expression in written work is very important – in your studies as in professional life. Structure your report according to the specified documentation requirements. Make sure that your report is complete, but avoid unnecessary material. You must strike a balance between comprehensiveness and conciseness. Take care to check your spelling and, grammar.
The manner in which you present your submission is also very important. Your report must be word-processed and presented neatly. Ensure that the pages are securely bound, but not so securely that they can’t easily be removed for photocopying (copies of a representative sample of your reports will be retained for quality assurance purposes). Use a “Duraclip” or similar binder. Make sure that each page is marked with your name, the date of completion, the page number, and the total number of pages submitted. Make sure that the front page of your report has this information displayed prominently along with the module name and number and assignment title. Submit your report, your circuit and a completed Assignment Submission Form together in a transparent Snopake “PolyFile” or similar document wallet.

CASE STUDY #1

During the mid-1980s, New York City had several incidents of homeless citizens freezing to death overnight while living on the streets during the winter months. In response to this problem, Mayor Edward I. Koch initiated a policy of having police escort homeless individuals to shelters on dangerously cold nights (temperatures below 20 degrees Farenheit). However, many homeless individuals refused to go to shelters, arguing that they were dangerous places where one’s property was often stolen while one slept. Repeated attempts to reassure homeless individuals that shelters were being made safer (e.g. by the hiring of security personnel) had little effect.

Mayor Koch responded by initiating another policy: A homeless individual refusing to be transported to a shelter on such occasions would be taken into protective custody by the police and transported to a city psychiatric facility, with the rationale that exposing oneself to such imminent danger indicated that one’s reasoning ability was seriously impaired and that one needed to be protected. These individuals would be evaluated by a psychiatrist the following day and then released, voluntarily admitted, or involuntarily committed, as deemed medically appropriate.

For the mental health professionals who are being asked to assess these homeless individuals, is there a conflict between their duty as employees of the New York City health care system and their ethical obligations as professionals, delineated in their profession’s ethical code?
