Assignment 1: Application – Pulmonary Function Testing

Patients with respiratory disorders often require short-term and long-term treatment. While short-term treatments may successfully relieve a patient’s current symptoms, long-term treatment and management is a necessary component of the care plan. Prior to establishing a care plan, it is essential to complete a thorough patient evaluation. Patients presenting with symptoms of respiratory disorders such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) frequently require pulmonary function testing. These pulmonary function tests are designed to assess patient lung function. Results of these tests can be used in conjunction with the COPD guidelines to develop effective treatment and management plans for patients.

To prepare:
•Review the COPD guidelines in the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease article in this week’s Learning Resources.
•Reflect on COPD diagnosis, management, and prevention strategies suggested in the guidelines. Consider how to implement these strategies in a clinical setting.
•Locate and select a case study from a reputable source on a patient whose condition required pulmonary function testing.
•Consider the COPD guidelines for diagnosis and think about a potential diagnosis for the patient in the case study that you selected.
•Reflect on treatment and management options based on the patient’s diagnosis.

To complete:

Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:
•Describe COPD diagnosis, management, and prevention strategies suggested in the COPD guidelines. Explain how to implement these strategies in a clinical setting.
•Explain your diagnosis for the patient in the case study that you selected. Compare the patient’s pulmonary function test results to the COPD guidelines when making your diagnosis.
•Describe treatment and management options based on the patient’s diagnosis.

Legal Research into an Employment Law Pending Before Congress
Organizations such as the Society for Human Resource Management (http://www.shrm.org) work hard to support, lobby against, or provide education to the public about laws that will affect workers and employers. These organizations significantly influence what laws pass. Savvy HR managers have SHRM on their desktops so they are familiar with the many changes being suggested at any time, as they could cost companies significant amounts of money if they are passed.
Each year, thousands of proposed laws are being discussed, debated, and either passed, ignored, or rejected in state legislators around the country, or in Congress.
Find a proposed piece of legislation in the U.S. (or your state legislature) which interests you. This piece of legislation needs to regard employment law in some way (labor law, employment discrimination, ADA, PPACA, Title VII, GINA, etc.) Note that any bill that suggests changes to any current law will suffice, as well as a new law. Some examples you can use if you are interested are: the Fair Playing Field Act of 2012, the Religious Freedom Act of 2012, or a new bill regarding whether full-time employment under PPACA is 40 hours/week instead of 30 hours. (Since the time of writing this project, it is possible these examples of passed – be sure to check if you use any of them).
Places to look for legislation like this include:
Congress.gov. http://www.congress.gov
(Note that the Active Legislation link (right side) and Most Viewed Bills side include unpassed, pending legislation. the Public Laws link are passed laws – so do not use those.)
Govtrack.US https://www.govtrack.us/
Note: you can type in your state, and get updates your state’s representatives to Congress.
SHRM’s legislative pages: http://www.shrm.org/legalissues/federalresources/federallegislation/pages/default.aspx#
(Note that link takes you to the top level – and you can dig around on their links to find more information. Some of the internal pages may require a subscription to SHRM, however.)
Once you find a law pending before Congress that interests you, read the bill and answer these questions.
1 What is the name of the bill? What is the resolution number of the bill (e.g., HR 212)?

2 Does the bill you selected create a new law or amend an existing law?

3 If this bill is passed, how will it change current employment law? Be specific here and include enough detail so that someone reading your answer really understanding the bill under consideration.

4 State whether you agree or disagree with the bill. If you were a member of Congress would you vote for it? Explain why.

Employment Discrimination Cases
Many court cases on employment discrimination have shaped, created, and changed the employment landscape. Some protect employees from discrimination, and many protect employers from liability. Settlements and trial court cases do not create legal precedent or changes in the law. However, appeals court cases, and especially the U.S. Supreme Court Cases, do change, shape, and create new law, when statutes are interpreted in binding ways. Pick ONE case from the following list. Read the case. Answer each of the FOUR questions following the list of cases and place them in your Project Part II. Be sure to identify WHICH of the cases you selected.
List of U.S. Supreme Court Cases:
Vance v. Ball State University. http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/12pdf/11-556_11o2.pdf
University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center v. Nassar. http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/12pdf/12-484_o759.pdf
Phillips v. Martin Marietta Corp. 400 U.S. 542 (1971). http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=400&invol=542
Espinoza v Farah Mfg. Co, 414 U.S. 86 (1973) http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=414&invol=86
Oncale v. Sundowner Offshore Services, 83 F. 3d 118 http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/96-568.ZO.html
Questions for answering.

1 Explain briefly, the statute(s) (law or act) which was in question in your case, the facts of the case, and why the parties were in court. What was each party asking the court to do?

2 What did the court decide in your case and what will be the results of that decision? (i.e. who won, and was the win final or did the court send the case back to the lower court system to re-decide an issue?)

3 In what way did this case create, change, or shape the employment landscape for employers as a result of the decision made? Did this change help employers or employees the most? Explain.

4 Do you agree with the decision in the case you referenced? In other words, do you think that employment law was made better and stronger, or weaker and less effective as a result of this case? Write at least one full paragraph that supports your opinion.

Assignment: The global supply chain is more than direct ownership of production and distribution. It is also a network of relationships with both internal and external partners. It requires establishing relationships with organizations operating under completely different political, economic, and physical environments. Based on the above statement, you are asked to choose a large enterprise, which has become over the years the cornerstone of the supply chain (e.g., Nike, Tesco, IKEA, Samsung, Ford, Apple, P&G, DHL, Nestle) and critically discuss: (i) How it manages to establish close coordination across the globe (including any outsourcing/offshoring decisions and location-specific advantages), (ii) How distinctive R&D investments helped the company to increase its revenues, (iii) What are the supply chain risks and the associated mitigation strategy (iv) How advanced technology means/tools (e.g., 3D Printing, Big Data analytics or Internet of things) help to maintain the competitive advantage. Assessment Criteria The maximum word count is 3000 words (+/- 10%). You will also need to consider the following when completing this assignment: • Quality of executive summary (does it give a brief complete summary of this paper for an executive to read?) • Establishment of relevant theory (e.g. how supply chain environments are differentiated from region to region?) • Allocation of credit and sources used (have I included references and citations to the material I have used?) • Clarity of argument • Overall report presentation including spelling and grammar • Adherence to nominated word limit (+/- 10%) • Word processed (letter size 12, times new roman, 1.5 space) • 14 fully referenced (Harvard Referencing System). Please remember that the writer must show a relationship between presentation and structure, and aspects such as use of examples, figures, tables, illustrations and statistics that indicate wider/independent reading and sourcing. Writer must: • Analyze and critically evaluate the ways in which supply chains are adapted in view of specific market dynamics and environments. • Demonstrate an understanding of the importance of global lead-time management and time-compression. • Critically analyze the theory, concepts and models of global supply chain management to interpret and understand complex and ambiguous risks in global logistics and supply chain environments. • Locate, summarize and synthesize a range of information from published literature and electronic sources on GSCM. The Assignment MUST have a Table of Content, an Executive Summary, an introductory section, a full body of research and analysis; a finding, recommendation and concluding component
