You will build upon our residency and develop research on a recent security incident. There are multiple examples that can be used, i.e., Target, OPM, etc. As you evaluate the incident you evaluate several components throughout the remainder of the course. The assignment will have a couple of milestones over the course with a culmination in week 16 of our final evaluation.

1. select our incident

2. create a 1-page introduction of the security incident

3. Your response must be properly APA formatted with every sentence that comes from another source cited or quoted.

    4. Explain why the tallies from each corn cob do not exactly match the Mendelian ratio. (2 points)
13. Recall from the background information that purple kernels are dominant and yellow kernels are recessive. The second ear of corn was the result of crossing two heterozygous ears of corn male purple (Pp x Pp). This is represented by the Punnett square below. Complete the Punnett square by writing the correct letters that correspond to each number indicated in the table. (4 points)

1. Once the Punnett square for Question 13 is complete, calculate the ratio of purple and yellow kernels (recall that if the dominant trait is present, it will be expressed).
   1. What is the ratio of purple to yellow kernels based on the Punnett square? (2 points)
   2. How did this Mendelian ratio numerically compare to the ratio obtained from counting the corn kernels for ear number two in part II of the lab? (2 points)
2. Recall from the background information that purple kernels are dominant and yellow kernels are recessive. Also recall that smooth kernels are dominant and wrinkled kernels are recessive. The third corn ear was the result of crossing a male ear of corn with the following gametes: PpSs, with a female ear of corn with the same gametes: PpSs. This is represented by the Punnett square, below. Complete the Punnett square by writing the correct letters that correspond to each number indicated in the table (for example, PPSS or ppss). (8 points)

1. Once the Punnett square for Question 15 is complete, calculate the ratio of corn kernel varieties (recall that if the dominant trait is present, it will be expressed).
   1. What is the ratio of kernels based on the Punnett square? (2 points)
   2. How did this Mendelian ratio numerically compare to the ratio obtained from counting the corn kernels for ear number three in part II of the lab? (2 points)
2. What are the genotypic and phenotypic ratios for kernel color and kernel texture for a dihybrid cross between PpSS x Ppss? (4 points)
   1. genotypic ratio
   2. phenotypic ratio
3. Using the results from the Punnett Square in Question 15, answer the following question: In a population of 300 corn kernels, how many will have smooth kernel texture? (2 points)
4. In a flower garden, a horticulturist is growing purple and white pansies. The horticulturist notices that a new pansy has sprouted. When it finally flowers, the pansy is lavender. Explain how this happened. (4 points)
5. With a botanist’s help, an individual decides to cross the lavender pansy with the white pansy. Will this result in any purple pansies? Explain. (4 points)
6. State an industrial concern/importance for knowing the genetic makeup of an organism. Explain why it is important in your example. (5 points)
7. (Application) How might the information gained from this lab pertaining to genetics be useful to you, or how can you apply this knowledge to your everyday life as a non-scientist? The application will be graded according to the rubric below. (20 points)

Managers will need to be able to direct both RCM and Cost Containment activities for their organizations to survive and thrive. The assignment on Cost Containment needs to focus on one of the major cost categories for healthcare providers and the practical solutions being used to contain/cut these.

Be clear that this assignment is not about how to lower Patient Costs or lowering the price of care from the government or publics’ perspective. This is focused solely on reducing/containing a provider’s business operating costs/expenses below the expected reimbursement levels..

MAJOR COST TOPICS:
• Salaries & Benefits:
 Reducing layers of managers
 Benefits management issues (incl. health insurance)
 Outsourcing vs in-house
 Overtime and sick time
• Supply Chain Management and/or Materials Management
 Group Purchasing
 Inventory Management
• Pharmaceutical Costs (very political)
 Different Delivery Models
 340B
 Working with physicians
• IT Interoperability (must include consideration of both Capital and operational costs)
• Physician Contracts and Compensation
• Energy, Utilities and Waste Management

Ideally your report will cover:

• Current/historical costs;
• Prior efforts to contain these and any limitations;
• New efforts being considered or having been successful;
• What is needed to achieve the goals
• Your assessment
