When might you have determined that Lucent would be unable to maintain its streak of record earnings?

1. Conduct a DuPont decomposition of Lucent’s ROE for the 1998, 1999 and 2000 first (December) quarters. What factors contributed to the differences in Lucent’s performance between those quarters?

 

2. Evaluate the seasonally adjusted change (i.e., quarter i in year t to quarter i in year t-1) in Lucent’s: Sales, Accounts Receivable, Inventory and Gross Margin for the five quarterly periods: December 1998 through December 1999. Be sure to include an evaluation of the Footnote disclosures regarding Lucent’s inventories in your examination. Does the explanation for the earnings shortfall provided by Lucent’s managers make sense in light of your analysis? 

 

3. Based on your analysis:

a) When might you have determined that Lucent would be unable to maintain its streak of record earnings?

b) Do you think the class-action lawsuits have merit?

c) Would you expect Lucent’s earnings to ‘recover’ by the second quarter of 2000? What obstacles to Lucent’s earnings recovery present themselves?

 

 

What were the strengths and weaknesses of the Articles vis-à-vis the Constitution?

As depression struck the new nation in the mid-1780s, new questions arose about the nature of American democracy. Many conservatives believed that the answer lay in a stronger national government. Most radicals believed it was up to the states to relieve the financial burden of the people. These sentiments fostered a movement for a new constitution. Political differences soon stimulated the creation of political parties.

 

Compare and contrast the Articles of Confederation with the new Constitution of 1787. What were the strengths and weaknesses of the Articles vis-à-vis the Constitution? Give specific instances that demonstrate the weakness of the Articles (such as the Western problem).

 

Then analyze the drafting of the Constitution, using specific details to show how the various states (slave vs. free, east vs. west) compromised in order to effectively draft a constitution. Pay particular attention to Roger Sherman’s plan, the Great Compromise, which broke a stalemate that could have been fatal to the development of the new Constitution.

 

Finally, compare and contrast the debate over ratification between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. Make sure you cite specific examples from the Federalist Papers to support the Federalist position and contrast it with leading proponents of the opposition (such as John Hancock). Analyze how the debate over a bill of rights illustrates the differences between the two parties. Evaluate the relative success of the Bill of Rights in achieving an effective balance between national and states’ interests.

 

This paper must be four to five double-spaced pages in length (not including the References page) and utilize no less than four academic quality sources. Margins should be no more than one inch (right and left) and the essay should be composed in an appropriate font and size. Sources must be documented and cited using APA format.

2. The following are body mass index (BMI) scores measured in 12 patients who are free of diabetes and participating in a study of risk factors for obesity. Body mass index is measured as the ratio of weight in kilograms to height in meters squared.

Describe the theoretical bases that ground these activities and whether these are appropriate.

Program Activities and Their Theoretical Bases

In this Application you are asked to describeand analyze the intervention strategies—that is, the activities—in your selected program, and identify the ways in which they are grounded in theory. Refer to your Learning Resources this week, particularly the section on designing appropriate interventions (pages 227–232), to help you assess how appropriately these activities have been designed.

Develop a list of interview questions so that you can complete the Application Assignment described below. After completing your interview with your program contact person, complete a 2- to 3-page paper, in which you address the following:

  • Summarize briefly the changes that the program is intended to bring about (for example, increased physical activity in overweight Latino children).
  • Describe at least two key activities of the program. For each activity:
    • Relate the activity to the intervention strategy listed Chapter 8 of the McKenzie textbook. (For example, is this a health communication strategy?)
    • Describe any evidence that was used in developing activities.
    • Explain whether you think the activity is appropriate for the priority population.
  • Describe the theoretical bases that ground these activities and whether these are appropriate. In other words, what theories can you identify that led to (or would justify) these particular activities? If no theory was used, what theory or theories do you think would have been helpful? Explain your reasons.
  • In light of this analysis, summarize whether you think each of the activities is appropriately designed and will bring about the intended outcomes.

Part 2

Evaluation takes place at various points within a program’s lifecycle, and requires different kinds of questions to elicit the information that is needed to improve the program and to determine its effectiveness. Some of the most commonly used questions are focused specifically on the processes, impacts, and outcomes of the program.

For this Application, you are asked to provide a total of nine evaluation questions that would be appropriate for your selected health promotion program. Prepare for this Application by reviewing your Learning Resources this week (especially the Issel textbook, pages 366–370) for guidelines on good evaluation questions. You may find it helpful as well to locate and compare a number of sample questions through online searches (the Web sites in the Optional Resources section are a good place to start).

The nine questions should include three process questions, three impact questions, and three outcome questions.

You may use questions already formulated by the program’s designers, or questions written by you, or a combination of these. Make sure, however, that:

  • Each of these questions is a sound and an appropriate question of its type for this program
  • Data could reasonably be collected to answer each of them

If necessary, revise the program’s existing questions so that they meet these standards.

In addition to listing these nine questions, provide a brief explanation (2-3 paragraphs total) of how these different categories of questions differ from each other. That is, explain what their different purposes are and why these particular questions are good examples of this type of evaluation question.
