Flaw in the current exchange rate system
$5.00Topic : ECONOMIC ISSUES UNDER DIFFERENT EXCHANGE RATE SYSTEMS
Group task: Sub-topic #1 (Chapters 6, 7)
Recent history has led many critics of the current exchange rate system to propose reforms to the system. Discuss the merits and demerits of the reform proposals. How would these proposals solve the problems with the current exchange rate system?
My task: look into how the exchange rate system currently works and find one flaw in the system.
Chapter 6&7 :International Exchange rate policies: Krugman, Obstfeld and Melitz.
Communications and Decision Making
$7.00All of the disaster researchers, going back to the 1950s and since then (Quarentelli, Drabek and others) have found that two major impediments to effective disaster response are almost always related to poor communications and poor decision making. In 3 to 4 paragraphs, tell us why communications and decision making are related, why they are so often poorly executed, and how we can prepare for responses that are well-coordinated through effective communications and decision making. Provide citations to validate your arguments.

Conduct a literature search to identify empirical research relevant to a research.
Formulate a research hypothesis aligned with a given research question in both null and alternative formats.
Module 2
Conduct a literature search to identify empirical research relevant to a research question.
Integrate and synthesize empirical study findings to characterize the “current state of knowledge” relative to a research topic/question.
Distinguish the various observational study designs and the randomized controlled trial with regard to validity and feasibility.
Module 3
Formulate a research hypothesis aligned with a given research question in both null and alternative formats.
Delineate a study’s sampling frame and sample.
Distinguish the various probability and non-probability sampling methodologies.

Module 5
Delineate a study’s sampling frame and sample.
Distinguish the various probability and non-probability sampling methodologies.
Interpret univariate and bivariate statistical findings reported in a peer-reviewed journal article.)Bivariate Analysis Questions
$5.00Bivariate Analysis (FIRST HALF PAGE)
Please give examples of variables that can be analyzed and hypotheses that can be tested using T-tests, Chi-Square, and correlation analysis.
Be sure to define the variables, their levels of measurement and the appropriate statistical test.
Example: T-test: difference between mean cholesterol levels of obese and non-obese individuals. Cholesterol level is a continuous variable, and obesity is a dichotomous variable (obesity yes/no).
Chi Square: Is there a relationship between oral contraceptive use and infertility? Both variables are dichotomous: oral contraceptive use yes/no, infertility yes/no.
Correlation: Is fiber intake inversely related to fat intake? Both fat intake and fiber intake are continuous and are expressed in grams.

evolution of microorganisms and their impact on human health.Please prepare a 2-3 page paper in which you:
- Describe “why” microorganisms would need to evolve.
- Discuss factors that humans have contributed to the evolution of
microorganisms. - Explain why microorganisms will continue to evolve
- Complete your discussion with “lessons learned” about evolution of microorganisms that may be applicable to humans.

Introduction & ConclusionOther Useful Tips:
Must be double-spaced with 1-inch margins and typed in
12-point Times New Roman.Do not use “too many” quotes and do not use any long quotes. I would rather have you paraphrase the authors. Besides, quotes do not count toward your page total (and I know you can do a better job paraphrasing)!

Emergency Management Questions
$49.00Choose 4 of the following 6 questions to answer, using a short essay format for each, no more than 1,000 words for each, excluding references.
Use Simple words.
Answer each question completely with the best information.
Please use academic references and\or online books.
Use citations where necessary, after facts, statements, and after each 2 or 3 sentences.
You can use these books :- It is unfortunately still true today that many communities think that constructing an emergency operations plan is all that is required for emergency preparedness. What else are they missing, and why are these things important
- Please tell me how you would construct a hazards and vulnerability assessment for Riverton, Wyoming.
- In an era of rapid global changes (weather patterns, population distribution, technologies, land use, etc), virtually any jurisdiction is likely to have a changing risk profile. How would you update the risk profile for Ocean City, Maryland? What would you include, and why? Where would you seek information, and what time period would you want to cover?
- Please provide an overview of how Presidential Policy Directive – 8 (PPD-8) changes or influences the work of emergency preparedness.
- Please describe the kinds of activities that are needed in order to train police, fire service, EMS personnel, and volunteer responders, as well as to test their ability to work together in an actual response. What other organizations might need to be included, and why? Why is it that coordinated inter-service training and drilling are often not done?
- Imagine that you are made responsible for preparing the New Madrid Seismic Zone (Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky and Mississippi) for a response to a catastrophic earthquake disaster (M8 or higher). You can choose to organize and implement this long-term preparedness project using a top-down approach that incorporates the federal and state governments and their agencies, as well as the counties and cities within those states. This planning would follow the Incident Management System in its conception and implementation. Or…you can choose to a bottom-up approach in which the community levels first conduct their risk analyses and local plans, and then the states plan based on the communities and counties, and then the feds plan based on the states. Which approach would you choose, and why?
