Please fill-in-the-blanks. First, use the dropdown box provided. Then, for the second, please write in your answer.  A BCBA is using a progressive-ratio (PR) schedule with a client. Their PR schedule starts at FR-3 and increases by three each time: FR-3 → FR-6→ FR-9→ FR-12→ FR-15→ FR-18, etc. The client stops responding after FR-12.  Please describe the current scenario. You will select an option from the dropdown box for the first sentence and write in your own answer for the second sentence.  The PR progression that was used was: The breakpoint for this client was:

Match each type of conflict with the correct description.

A teacher walks around the classroom and gives praise at unpredictable times, averaging praise about every 4 min. Students maintain steady on-task behavior throughout this time.  Based upon the description of the main effects and side effect pattern of responding, what schedule of reinforcement is being used?

Your readings presented 3 things. (a) An overview of realism (b) An exploration of structural realism (c) An exploration of Power Transition Theory In this reflection, please identify 2 different contemporary (modern, ongoing) wars. You can think of this assignments as 2 “mini reflections” (in that this doesn’t have to be a single essay, it can be two shorter essays – one for each war/theoretical application). First, you will select one war best explained by Structural Realism. You will briefly describe the war (who are the actors, what do they want, what is the conflict about, etc.). After a short introductory summary, you will explain how the theory would see/explain the war. Remember that each theory carries its own set of assumptions about what we’re looking it, what we assume the interests are, what we assume causes conflict, etc. In the bulk of your essay, you’re going to discuss what the theory would see as the primary actors and sources of conflict, and then – based on the theory – you are going to predict one of the ways the war could end. (In this case, you may choose to identify how the conflict will end, OR you may hypothesize one of the ways the war could end based on the theory.) Be sure, in describing the ending, to explain why the theory would predict that particular outcome over others. In a final, paragraph, please identify where you see the strengths and weaknesses of the theory (more on this below).  Next, you will identify a second war and explain it using Power Transition Theory. You will do identically the same thing as described above. You will provide a short introductory summary, followed by an application of the theory – making sure to identify how the theory would see the conflict based on its specific set of assumptions. You will conclude with how the theory would precut the end of the war (as described above). In a final, paragraph, please identify where you see the strengths and weaknesses of the theory (more on this below).  Remember that good research means that you are NOT trying to prove yourself (or something) right. Theoretical applications like this are one of the ways we can limit bias. By applying theories (each with its own set of assumptions) to a situation, we can evaluate whether hypotheses that derive from that theory have empirical support (i.e., “wow! This theory really predicts the actions and outcomes of this well.” Or “yeah, based on this assumption, the theory really doesn’t capture the heart of the issue.”).

Acme Company uses process costing. Here are data for the current month: During the current month, there are 1,200 units in beginning work in process inventory, 1,400 units in ending work in process inventory, and 4,300 units started in production. The units in beginning work in process inventory are 70% complete with respect to conversion costs and the units in ending work in process inventory are 50% complete with respect to conversion costs. What is the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs during the current month? Round to the nearest whole dollar amount and do not enter a dollar sign or a decimal point (e.g., enter 89, not $89.00).  

Acme Company uses process costing and has only one processing department. During the current month, the ending work in process inventory has a balance of $117,600 and consists of 5,250 units which are 40% complete with respect to direct materials and 60% complete with respect to conversion costs. The cost per equivalent unit of production for direct materials during the month is $32. What is the cost per equivalent unit of production for conversion costs? 

Acme Company uses process costing and has one processing department. At the end of the current month, work in process inventory consists of 20,000 units that have a total cost of $26,000. The cost per equivalent unit is $5.00 for direct materials and $1.50 for conversion costs. With respect to direct materials, the units in ending work in process inventory are 20% complete. With respect to conversion costs, the units in ending work in process inventory are: 

A patient referred to PT for general strengthening presents with the following findings: general weakness of the feet and hands, occasional muscle twitches, and intermittent slurred speech. Which of the following conditions should be suspected?

Essay 2  Jill is from Colombia. Her father is a general in the military and he has been active in fighting against the guerillas. While Jill is teaching in a remote village outside of Bogota, she is threatened by guerillas who tell her that she must leave the area because they don’t want anyone connected to the military in that village. A guerrilla commander tells her “an apple doesn’t fall far from the tree; you must be against us just like your father, who has killed our comrades.” At one point, a masked group comes into the school and holds a gun to Jill’s head, saying that the next time they see her, they will pull the trigger. Jill returns to Bogota, very scared. In a few days after Jill’s return, her family begins to receive phone calls, telling the family that her father better stop fighting against the guerillas or Jill will be killed. Jill had a multi-entry tourist visa, and she comes to the United States to stay with a relative to rest from the trauma. She tells the Customs and Border Protection agent at the airport that the purpose of her visit is to seek protection because her life is being threatened. A. Discuss how the CBP will proceed with regards to Jill’s application for admission to the United States and what steps must Jill take if Jill is admitted as 1. a visitor or 2. one who has fears returning back to her country. B. Assume Jill applies for asylum. Name and discuss the grounds for asylum and their applicability to Jill.
