  • “Analyzing Financial Ratios of Apple Inc. Using SEC EDGAR Data”

    For this assessment assignment, you will retrieve financial data from Apple Inc.’s most recent 10-K filing on the SEC Edgar website. You will then use this data to calculate key financial ratios.  Finally, you will explain the purpose of these ratios and how a business could use them to evaluate its performance.
    Instructions:
    Begin by downloading the Ch 4 Assessment Assignment Answers File attached to this assignment.  You will be entering all of your “answers” for this assignment on that Word document.  Once you have finished, upload your saved Word document (or PDF file) in this assignment submission folder for grading.
    The first step is to retrieve Apple Inc.’s most recent 10-K Annual Report from the SEC EDGAR site.  (Directions on how to locate a 10-K on the EDGAR site are located below.)  You will retrieve the required financial data from the Income Statement and Balance Sheet located in the 10-K report.  This data will then be used to calculate the financial ratios we have studied thus far, the Return on Assets, Debt Ratio, and Current Ratio.  Finally, you will explain the purpose of each of the ratios and how a business may use each of them.
    SEC EDGAR Site
    The SEC Edgar website is like a library for financial information about publicly traded companies. It’s where these companies submit their required reports and disclosures to the government. Investors and analysts use this site to access and review these documents, helping them make informed decisions about investing in stocks. It’s a tool for transparency and ensuring that investors have access to important financial information.
    To Pull a 10-K Report from EDGAR
    To access the site, go to: SEC.gov | EDGAR | Company Filings
    Type in the name of the company you’re looking for in the “Company and Person Lookup) box.  When you see the name of the company come up in the dropdown section, click on it.
    Expand the “10-K (annual reports) and 10-Q (quarterly reports)” section of the “Selected Filings” box.
    Review the short list of the most recently filed 10-K’s (annual reports) and 10-Q’s (quarterly reports) to locate the 10-K with the most recent date.  Click on it.
    You can now use the icon labeled “Sections” at the top to navigate to different sections of the report.  If you want to go directly to the financial statements section, click on this option.  Or, you can click on one of the other options depending on what you’re looking for.

  • “Real-Time Parameter Tuning for Optimizing Heterogeneous Computing Systems-on-Chip: A Comprehensive Survey”

    Abstract—Heterogeneous computing Systems-on-Chip (SoCs)
    have emerged as powerful platforms integrating diverse process-
    ing units such as CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs to enhance com-
    putational capabilities and efficiency. However, the complexity
    of managing these resources necessitates advanced optimiza-
    tion techniques, particularly with runtime parameter adaptation
    to handle dynamic workloads and resource availability. This
    survey comprehensively reviews the state-of-the-art methods in
    optimizing heterogeneous computational resources through real-
    time parameter tuning. This survey is structured to cover key
    themes including power management, energy efficiency, system-
    level optimization, and performance improvement. Each section
    discusses various methodologies, highlighting their strengths and
    weaknesses. Our critical analysis identifies current gaps in the
    literature and suggests potential research directions. We empha-
    size the integration of evolutionary algorithms with reinforcement
    learning (ERL) as a promising approach to dynamically adapt
    system parameters, thereby achieving optimal resource utilization
    and performance. Key contributions of this survey include: A
    comprehensive review of dynamic power management techniques
    and AI-based solutions for heterogeneous SoCs. In-depth analysis
    of energy efficiency strategies and their impact on system
    performance. Detailed examination of system-level optimization
    methods, including collaborative scheduling and edge computing
    frameworks. Evaluation of performance improvement techniques
    and their implications on computational efficiency. Identification
    of open challenges and future research directions in the field of
    computational resource optimization. This survey aims to provide
    researchers and practitioners with a holistic understanding of
    the current landscape and future prospects in optimizing hetero-
    geneous computational resources through real-time parameter
    tuning.

  • Title: Understanding Neurodevelopmental and Neurocognitive Disorders: A Comparative Analysis of Symptomatology, Prevalence, Genetic and Environmental Factors, and Neurobiological Pathways

    There are two steps to this
    assignment: 
    Step 1: Choose one Neurodevelopmental
    Disorder (from either Intellectual Disability or ADHD), and two Neurocognitive
    Disorders (from the following: Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s or Traumatic
    Brain Injury or Vascular Dementia). You will need to choose three disorders
    in total. These must be disorders listed with full diagnostic
    criteria in the DSM-5 (see Unit Resources for link to the DSM-5
    online). 
    **YOU CAN REVIEW THE COURSE HANDOUTS WHICH ARE ATTACHED WITH THE ORDER*
    Step 2:  Make a table for each of these three
    disorders (i.e., three tables in total), with the following six column
    headings in each table: 
    a. Diagnostic Symptomatology (i.e., the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria, distinguishing between those
    criteria that must be present for a diagnosis, those
    that may be present for a diagnosis, and how many are
    needed). Diagnostic criteria from the DSM-5 are not included in your
    word count. You may paraphrase this section or use the same wording as the
    DSM-5. Other sections cannot be copied directly.
    b. Associated Features (i.e., other observable features that might be seen in this
    disorder): Use DSM-5 Manual and research articles to address this
    section. 
    c. Prevalence (gender, age, any other
    factors that may influence prevalence): Please include prevalence
    data of USA, Europe and Australia. This is mandatory for you to get full marks
    for this section.  
    d. Major genetic factors (i.e., any genetic factors that have been shown in the research
    literature to predispose someone to this disorder): Please
    include the discussions on genetic factors as well as possible candidate genes
    involved in each of these disorders. Only use relevant peer reviewed articles
    to address this section. 
    e. Major environmental factors that may predispose someone to this disorder. Only
    use relevant peer reviewed articles to address this section. 
    f. Principal neurobiological pathways through which the disorder may manifest itself (i.e., SNS,
    receptors, changes to function in specific brain regions, etc): Please
    discuss the human brain areas involved in these disorders from fMRI and EEG
    studies as well as key neurotransmitters that are thought to be responsible for
    these disorders. Only use relevant peer reviewed
    published articles to address this section.

    Well, we go on our rounds. Roger that.1:30
    I mean, get going while you’re ahead. Yeah.1:35
    It seems like the team is embracing the reintroduction of LV ends. You’re my friend, Terrence, so I’m not going to blow smoke.1:40
    The strategy isn’t without flaws, but it helps.1:47
    This is me saying thank you.1:52
    Well, if you need me to revise or generate any additional training for the LV ends, or if you need any support for me, just let me know.1:54
    I’m always on your side, Meg. I’m also very late for a meeting, so I will see you later.2:01
    Lunch on Monday. Okay. Taco truck on third. It’s my fave.2:07
    Mr. Jack, your heart rate’s too high. I just spoke to my wife.2:13
    It’s what happens. I’ll be fine. Carmen, can you maybe come in?2:18
    Mr. Jack’s B.P. dropped from last night. His heart rate’s elevated to 120, and he’s running a temp of 101.2:24
    My work has been swamped. I haven’t been able to assess yet. Christine, you’re a lifesaver.2:30
    Literally. Code sepsis.2:34

    Brendan. Did you just push events on that patient in there?3:00
    Yeah. And asked me to. Okay.3:05
    I just need to remind you that that is outside of the scope of your practice.3:08
    And it’s really important, you know, what you limitations are. Sorry.3:12
    I just figured I was trying to help. I hear you, but you cannot push meds, ever.3:16
    If I keep on messing up as in [INAUDIBLE] Vietnam, I’m not going to make it as an R.N.3:24
    Look, things are hectic here right now. I get it.3:31
    But you can do this. If I can, you can stop the crowds.3:34
    You have a visitor in the main hallway, Dr. Kravitz, a visitor on the mainland.3:40
    My early days as a nurse leader, I did my research, so I had facts to share with the staff, not opinions.3:48
    You’re doing that. It’ll serve you. Thank you for everything.3:54
    Burn up sucks. And I’m grateful for your support in all of this.3:59

    Provision for owing the same duties to self as to others.4:44
    How do I promote health and safety? Preserve wholeness of character.4:49
    Dignity to myself and to the rest of my staff. All the while trying not to implode.4:55
    Very carefully. Also, this is 100% in our collar.5:01
    Look, I can tell you how I balance it all, if it helps.5:07
    But finding that kind of balance takes time. Are.5:12
    Okay. Don’t freak out. But we have a small problem.5:16
    And by a small problem, we mean big. I get it.5:19
    Trust me. Do you think? Come in.5:25
    Let’s do this.
    Consider the following questions and reflect on your thoughts and experiences:
    What ethical concerns and implications arise when mistakes are made due to the integration of CNAs and LPNs into patient care, and how do these relate to patient safety and the quality of care provided?
    In the scenario presented, what ethical principles or values are at stake for hospital leadership, the healthcare team, the patients, and the CNAs and LPNs?
    If you were a part of the hospital leadership team in this situation, how would you address the mistakes and improve the quality of care while continuing to utilize CNAs and LPNs? What ethical principles would guide your decision-making process?
    Reflect on any personal experiences or stories related to similar incidents or the integration of CNAs and LPNs into patient care. How did these experiences influence your perspective on the ethical challenges involved?

  • “Synthesizing Peer-Reviewed Sources for Doctoral Study Development: An Annotated Bibliography” Introduction: As a doctoral student, it is crucial to conduct thorough research and use reliable sources to develop a strong foundation for your study. In this annotated

    In each week of this course, you will research and select three (3) peer-reviewed, scholarly sources to develop an annotated bibliography that you can use in your Doctoral Study. You will need to take the three sources and synthesize the references into a single narrative annotated bibliography that compares/contrasts or supports your study. For example, you may develop three references that will fit into the Nature of the Study (or any other component) and then the synthesized version will help you in developing your Prospectus/Proposal. Please see this week’s Learning Resources for the Sample Annotated Bibliography Template, which you should use to complete your annotated bibliography.
