As I discuss in my Lecture for this week, how does the issue of global economic justice/inequality pose a challenge to our “ethical wiring”?⚠️ Reminder: Submitting any part of your Online Discussion post or replies created using AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, etc.) or AI-enhanced writing/translation platforms (e.g., Grammarly, QuillBot, DeepL, Google Translate, Wordtune, Microsoft Editor, etc.) is a violation of this course’s Academic Integrity policy (see Syllabus).Like other forms of plagiarism, it is considered academic misrepresentation or fraud—because you are submitting work generated by someone or something else as your own.

Imagine that a future president and Congress of the United States decided to enact laws that would create an American society based on a libertarian view of distributive justice.Discuss/describe in detail how such a society would be different than what we see in the US today (use specific examples).⚠️ Reminder: Submitting any part of your Online Discussion post or replies created using AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, etc.) or AI-enhanced writing/translation platforms (e.g., Grammarly, QuillBot, DeepL, Google Translate, Wordtune, Microsoft Editor, etc.) is a violation of this course’s Academic Integrity policy (see Syllabus).Like other forms of plagiarism, it is considered academic misrepresentation or fraud—because you are submitting work generated by someone or something else as your own.

(10 points)Instructions: To earn points for this section, you must answer exactly two of the questions listed below.Each answer should be written in at least three complete sentences.Answers written as phrases or incomplete sentences will receive zero points. For example:Complete sentence: “The Earth revolves around the Sun because of gravitational forces.”Incomplete sentence: “Revolves around the Sun.”————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–What is a xenolith, and how does it form? Explain the difference between a sill and a dike. Briefly explain what the Bowen reaction series shows about mineral formation as magma cools. Explain what porphyritic texture looks like and what it means about the rock’s cooling history. Draw a sketch. Why are felsic magmas more likely to erupt explosively than mafic magmas? Describe how magma composition affects eruption style. What is a lahar, and why can it be dangerous even if a volcano is not erupting? Describe what triggers lahars and why they are hazardous. What is a mantle plume, and how does it lead to volcanism? What is pyroclastic density current, and why is it dangerous? —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

À vous! Write a paragraph of at least five complete sentences in which you describe yourself. Discuss where you are from, how old you are, your physical appearance, and your personality. Also mention what you like and don’t like to do. (6pts. for vocabulary + 6 pts. for grammar + 4 pts. for style and creativity = 16 pts.)Make sure to use the accent marks when necessary.

Patient B.T. was treated with Carbamazepine. When he was on 125 mg of Carbamazepine b.i.d., the resultant steady state drug concontration (Css) was 6.75 mg/L. When his Carbamazepine dose was changed to 150 mg t.i.d., the Css increased to 17.9 mg/L. Assume the observed nonlinearity of Carbamazepine kinetic behavior is due to the capacity-limited metabolism, while the volume of distribution and oral bioavailability of Carbamazepine remain dose-independent. (14 pts. total) 1. Calculate (i) Km and (ii) Vmax. (2 pts. each) 2. Calculate the Carbamazepine daily dose that can achieve the desired Css of 20 mg/L in Patient B.T.. (2 pts.) 3. After Patient B.T. was on the optimized daily dose of Carbamazepine (calculated in Q2) for over a month, his Carbamazepine Css decreased from 20 to 14.4 mg/L. The decrease in  Css is attributed to the auto-induction of Carbamazepine metabolism. (i) Calculate Km and Vmax [Indicate no change or stays the same if the value remains unchanged]. (2 pts. each) (ii) Determine the new daily dose that should be used to maintain the desired Carbamazepine Css of 20 mg/L in Patient B.T.. (2 pts.) (iii) Calculate the Carbamazepine elimination half-life (t1/2) associated with the re-adjusted daily dose that results in a Carbamazepine Css of 20 mg/L. Assume Carbamazepine has a volume of distribution (V) of 65 L. (2 pts.)
