Wk 7 – Scenario 2 Module 3 Questions – Carrie E. Martin
Primary Question:
What authorities do the fictional Carol County public health and the Bobsville healthcare community retain to implement an isolation process?
In the scenario involving the attack on Bobsville, the fictional Carol County public health authorities and the Bobsville healthcare community have several statutory and regulatory authorities to implement an isolation process. Carol County public health likely operates under the broader framework of Oklahoma state public health laws. These laws provide the authority to isolate individuals to prevent the spread of infectious diseases and to protect public health. For instance, Oklahoma law grants health departments the power to take necessary actions during public health emergencies, including the isolation of individuals who pose a threat to public health (Oklahoma State Department of Health, 2020).
At the county level, Carol County public health may have specific ordinances that empower it to act swiftly in public health emergencies. These ordinances can detail procedures for isolation, including the criteria for determining who should be isolated, the duration of isolation, and the rights of those isolated. Bobsville healthcare facilities, such as Bunnyville Hospital, operate under established policies and procedures for infection control. These internal protocols, developed in line with state and federal guidelines, give healthcare providers the authority to isolate patients to prevent cross-contamination within healthcare settings (Gostin & Wiley, 2016).
During a terrorist attack involving CBRNE agents like sarin gas, federal agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provide critical guidance. While the implementation is local, federal guidelines help shape the isolation protocols, ensuring they meet national standards for safety and efficacy (CDC, 2017).
Additional Questions:
What are the overarching public health laws that impact people placed under medical surveillance?
State quarantine and isolation laws allow state and local health authorities to isolate individuals who may pose a threat to public health. They typically require that the isolation is necessary, based on medical evidence, and is the least restrictive means to protect the public. The Public Health Service Act grants the federal government, through the CDC, the authority to detain, medically examine, and release individuals suspected of carrying communicable diseases. While primarily a state and local responsibility, the federal government can intervene if a disease has the potential to cross state lines or international borders (Public Health Service Act, 1944). Individuals placed under medical surveillance are protected by legal safeguards to ensure their rights are not unduly infringed. This includes the right to be informed of the reason for their isolation, access to legal counsel, and the ability to challenge the isolation order through the courts (Gostin & Wiley, 2016).
When can Carol County public health issue a quarantine order?
Carol County public health can issue a quarantine order under the following circumstances. When there is credible evidence that individuals have been exposed to a hazardous agent, such as sarin gas in this scenario, and pose a potential risk to public health. If the exposed individuals, even if not symptomatic, could potentially spread the hazardous agent, quarantine can be justified to prevent secondary exposure and protect the broader community. When there is insufficient medical data to conclusively determine who might develop symptoms, it is prudent to quarantine individuals until they are medically cleared. Local quarantine orders are typically issued in coordination with state health authorities to ensure consistency with state laws and public health policies. This coordination is crucial in managing resources and maintaining public trust. In some cases, especially if individuals resist quarantine orders, Carol County public health may seek judicial support to enforce compliance, ensuring that due process is followed while protecting public health (Gostin & Wiley, 2016).
In summary, the isolation and quarantine processes in response to a CBRNE attack in Bobsville involve a coordinated effort between local, state, and federal authorities, guided by established public health laws and emergency response protocols. These measures are designed to protect public health while ensuring the rights of individuals are respected.

Title: Exploring the Intersection of Religion and Commerce in The Merchant of Venice and The Decameron
Instructions
A
comparative essay should make an argument about at least two texts that enriches our
understanding of both of them in a way that would not be possible were we to
only examine each text on its own.
Write a 5-6 page comparative essay that will address The Merchant of Venice and a few texts of your choosing from The
Decameron by Boccaccio, following these guidelines:
·
Let
us presume the following division of The Decameron readings:
o four longer texts: Introduction,
2.7, 2.9, and 10.9
o five shorter texts: Preface,
1.2, 1.3, 3.10, and the Epilogue
·
Overall,
you must write on either two or three Decameron texts.
·
Of
these, you may choose one or two of the longer texts.
Prompt
How
does religion facilitate trade or commerce in these texts? In your essay,
analyze the ways that commercial activity shapes the interactions between
religious groups, particularly where one group has more power than another.
What sorts of relationships come about as a result of commercial exchanges
between members of different religious groups? You may wish to consider the
place of gender, legal norms, or social conventions (these suggestions are
meant to prompt your thinking; do not attempt to address them all in
list-like fashion).
Through
your readings of The Merchant of Venice and
one of the above texts, discuss the ways in which economic activity heightens
tensions between religious groups and/or encourages religious tolerance and
understanding.
“FORMATTING”
·
Please use double-spaced pages and Times New
Roman 12 pt. font. In the body of your essay, do not add extra lines between
paragraphs.
·
Include your name and page numbers in a header
in the upper-right corner of every page (as above).
·
On your first page, before the text of your
assignment begins, include the following on separate lines along the left
margin: your name, the date, and the assignment information (e.g. Essay #1).
Skip one line, and then place the title of your paper in the center between
quotation marks. In your title, capitalize all nouns, verbs, pronouns, adverbs,
and adjectives, as well as the first and last word that follows any colon or
semicolon (as above)
·
Titles of books, films, albums, plays, journals,
and collections/anthologies go in italics.
·
Titles of short stories, songs, poems,
paintings, book chapters, and articles go in “Quotation Marks.”
·
Place only one space after a period.
·
When writing about literary texts, always
use the present tense.
o
Correct: In The Ring of the Dove,
Ibn Hazm articulates his views about love.
·
But when quoting the text directly, keep the original pronouns and verb
tenses.
o
Correct: Samuel ha-Nagid writes,
“I quartered the troops for the night in a
fortress which soldiers destroyed long ago
/ and they fell asleep at its walls…” (Cole 66)
o
Incorrect: Samuel ha-Nagid wrote, “[He]
quartered the troops… / and they [fall] asleep at its walls”.

Analyzing AirBnB Data in San Diego “Exploring the Impact of AirBnB on San Diego’s Housing Market: A Data Analysis” “Top Five Hosts with the Most Properties in Different Cities”
Step 1 Download the file for your city (This would be the city you chose a neighborhood on earlier in the semester)
you will be working on the sandiego excel sheet that i have uploaded
San DiegoDownload San Diego (you can find it in the files update)
You will only accomplish one task…
Find which host has the MOST Air BnB Properties and graph the 5 highest
In the example we used data I made up for an example – here I will be using real data from the website ‘Inside Air BnB’ which collects data from Air BnB to show how they contribute to issues of affordable housing.
You should follow along as we go, but just in case you get lost or mess up I have completed the example for you. It always helps as you can chart your progress and use the formulas here as a template for YOUR CITY.
It’s up to you how you want to tackle this – I’m the worst so I usually try to skip ahead – lift the heaviest weight – take the greatest challenge – and then fail and try the tutorial.
I am integrating concepts from the game design theory of metroidvania… Look it up if you are interested.
Here is my completed Excel Worksheet for Portland Download Here is my completed Excel Worksheet for Portland. (example chart in files)
Step 1 Poke around…
EACH ROW is a different Air BnB property. There are a lot of properties! probably more than 4,000.
There are 8 data columns – there are only 1 of them you will need to consider for now (3 if you are doing the ‘A’ assignment). I needed to create Latitude and Longitude so I could make the files for next week (for mapping)
HOST ID – Uniquely identifies each host. This is helpful because…
HOST NAME – Only identifies the name of the host (it is possible there are different host_id and host_names because hosts can have the same name)
NEIGHBORHOOD – What neighborhood is the property located in? Sometimes these will be names – other times numbers. If they are numbers they simply represent zipcodes.
ROOM_TYPE – Air BnB has three categories – Entire Home, Private Room, or Shared Apartment are the options.
PRICE – The price in dollars of an Air BnB per night
Reviews – The number of reviews the property had
Step 2 Set up the spreadsheet
Click ‘A’ in the top row to highlight the whole host_id column
Copy it and click on J (the whole column) and paste
The final copy and paste will be a column which you will populate.
In K1 write ‘count’
In K2 enter ‘1’
highlight K2 and click on the green square in the bottom right hand portion of the box
DRAG IT DOWN ALL THE WAY TO THE LAST CELL (sorry this is going to take a while!)
For me it was ‘4603’
Once you have 1’s all the way down to the last row of Air BnB Properties.
Step 3: Create and populate a new sheet.
Name it ‘host id’
Copy and Paste columns J and K (Host ID and the count column you created) into the host id sheet (columns A and B)’
Step 4: SUMIF
In C1 of the host id sheet type ‘SUMIF’
This is a new formula! SUMIF will help us calculate which hosts have the most reviews
Copy this formula into C2 of the host id sheet
SUMIF($A$2:$A$4603, A2, $B$2:$B$4603)
I KNOW THERE IS no =(equals) sign. The reason for this is because you will have to change some values based on the spreadsheet of the city you have.
First change the 4603 (look it appears twice in the SUMIF formula above) and change it to the the number of the last row you have data entry (in my case it’s the 4603th row – there are 4603 properties in Portland – there will a similar number in the thousands for your city)
You can scroll to the bottom of the document to find this number.
After you paste into the cell put an equals sign at the begging
Once you have changed 4603 to the number unique to your spreadsheet…
PUT IN THE EQUAL SIGN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE EQUATION. It won’t work otherwise
Then… drag it down (the method we used for count above) – highlighting C2 and dragging it all the way down to that last row you just input into the formula.
IF YOU ARE GETTING LOST DON’T FORGET TO PRESS UNDO
PLEASE REFER TO MY SHEET IN PORTLAND TO SEE HOW ALL OF THIS WORKS (LINK ABOVE)
It looks something like this…
What does this tell us. It counts the number of times each host id (that unique identifier for each host) appears in a row
From this information we will find out who had the the most properties.
Step 5: Copying for Sorting and Analysis
Copy the whole row A into Column E
Copy the whole row C —- THEN right click on F to highlight the whole column — right click — go to paste special — values (Remember this from last lab?)
Now we can sort to find the five highest Host Id’s
Left click on F and drag over to E so both columns are highlighted
SORT AND FILTER FROM LARGEST TO SMALLEST! (Z through A)
If a screen pops up just press ok…
Step 6: Get Rid of the Duplicates
Great! The problem is we have SO many duplicates – let’s get rid of them
Highlight E AND F and find ‘Data’ in the top ribbon
From here find ‘remove duplicates’ – that little Neapolitan ice cream looking thing with the red x next to text to columns
Again – if this isn’t popping up full screen Excel or look up the tool on Google.
Just press ok when the menu comes up
Great we got rid of all the duplicate values
If those exponents look weird simply expand the E column by hovering over the border and dragging it a little larger
Step 7 Analysis
The next step is to simply look up these numbers in the original spreadsheet
Go back to Sheet 1
Press Command (or Control) F and simply type in 5615582 (this is the host id with the most properties) and press enter (make sure nothing is highlighted in the sheet or it will only search what is highlighted
Press enter several times in the entry in the host_id column doesn’t come up
Look at that! It’s called RoomPicks!
Let’s enter that on the ‘host_id’ spread sheet into G2
Rinse and Repeat and it will look something like this
Step 8 Preparing for a Chart
Finally – copy the first five entries for the names you just recorded (G1-G6) Into I2 – make sure you type ‘host’ into I1
and F1-F6 (the sum of properties for each of the top five hosts) into J2 – put the ‘number of properties into J1
If you’ve made it this far you are in good shape!
Next highlight J2 and scroll over to include J2 – J6 and I2 – I6 DO NOT INCLUDE THE NAMES AT TOP
Once you have highlighted this table sort in reverse order z – a (see the values above)
We do this so our chart will look nice
Step 9: Make a Chart
Simply highlight the entire table with the title like below and then click on ‘insert’ on the top ribbon and find the vertical bar chart
2d column will do
It will look something like this
Just Change the title and you are good to go
Step 10 – YOU DON’T HAVE TO HAND IN ANYTHING YOU JUST DID – after all I gave you answers above, which you should totally use to make the same chart for your city!
AshevilleDownload Asheville
AustinDownload Austin
BostonDownload Boston
ChicagoDownload Chicago
NashvilleDownload Nashville
San DiegoDownload San Diego
Using SUMIF in the method described above:
Find the the total number of properties for each Host ID
The names of the hosts with the 5 most properties
Create a graph that features the names of these top five hosts and how many properties they own (should go from left to right on the graph from lowest to highest – like shown in my graph for Portland) -
“TQE Method: Understanding Hemophilia and Its Implications”
Class participation and engagement are very important in online
programs. Every student must post a thread using the TQE method on the discussion board about the given topic. The topic is provided below. Each student
must have 1 post. Must have a minimum of 1 reference for your post. Reference must be in APA format and published within the last five
years.
Ever heard of the TQE method?
This protocol has students come up with their own Thoughts,
lingering Questions, and Epiphanies from an assigned reading. Consider
posting some of the “notes” you might want to remember from reading in
outline form (like an electronic note card} with the most important
thing about _______(certain disorder in module) as your thoughts. Then
post some question about this disorder you might still have and then the
epiphany (the must know biggest thing to remember about the disorder).
The epiphany should answer your own questions. Short sweet and to the
point! Pick something to write about that is not the easiest for you to
understand and by writing about it you move it to a deeper remembering
place in your brain.

“Analyzing Organizational Sales Using Excel Functions and Charts” “Analyzing Shipment Frequency, Organizational Cost and Profit, and Optimizing Performance for an Organization”
Course Outcomes
In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
• Utilize basic functionality of spreadsheet software for constructing effective databases that evaluate organizational decisions
• Conduct descriptive and inferential statistical analyses of raw data using spreadsheet software for informing processes and operations
• Conduct optimization analyses of raw data using spreadsheet software for reaching solutions that meet organizational objectives
• Present business data analysis using spreadsheet software that clearly communicates specific information to key stakeholders
Overview
Data analysis and communication of data to stakeholders are key factors in effective management. You can’t efficiently manage unless you know if objectives are being met. You can use data and spreadsheets to find areas of concern and decide if progress is being made for key objectives. Reviewing data should be done continuously. This is where spreadsheets that are linked to data sources can give you an advantage. When input data values change, the spreadsheets don’t need to be changed for them to calculate the results. You can use the data to measure the efficiencies or inefficiencies of key objectives.
Think about the plan-do-check-act management cycle. In this cycle, management plans for a set of objectives, develops processes, and allocates resources; the company will carry out (or do) the plans. Management also monitors how well the set objectives are being met. Then feedback is given (the check). Based on feedback, changes to the plans are made (the act). You will create an analysis report for the final project of this course. Your report will show your ability to logically look at large amounts of raw data. This data can be used to make sure resources are used in a way that increases profits as much as possible. You’ll create a report that includes your analysis of sales, costs, and profit. Doing so will allow you to have an overall understanding of performance that can be used for stakeholder decision-making. The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three and Five. The final product, your analysis report, will be submitted in Module Seven.
Directions
In the case study, you’re creating a number of spreadsheets to measure specific aspects of a winery and its distribution operation. Certain factors, such as increasing wine production significantly or lowering production costs, need a lot of time to enact. However, changes related to distribution can be made quickly using spreadsheets. In the case study, new management wants to understand how efficiently the distribution system is working. You’ll study the data, then present it in a way that can be clearly explained to the key stakeholders.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
1 Organizational Sales: This is the first part of your final project. You’ll review raw data sets that summarize the production, sales, and distribution of wine. You’ll need to analyze the various types of wine and different distribution centers to figure out how they affect the organization’s total revenue. All of your analyses need to be submitted in an annotated Excel file. Each analysis needs to include your reasons for using the appropriate Excel functions.
A Using a pivot table, figure out the percentage of wine sold by distribution center. Show your results in a pie chart.
B Generate a labeled bar chart that shows the sum of wine varieties sold to each distribution center.
C Use the pivot table already created to calculate the total amount of revenue made for each distribution center. Show your results in a bar chart.
D Use the IF function to calculate the central tendencies (mean, median, and mode) of shipment volume for each distribution center. Show your results in a table.
E Analyze the frequency of shipments by size using a histogram.
F Create a shipment histogram to show the distribution of shipments for Portland and Riverside.
G Write a summary statement that describes the inefficiencies in the organizational sales analysis. In your response, explain why this information is important for influencing management decisions.
2 Organizational Cost and Profit: This is the next part of your final project. Use your findings and raw data from the previous section to dive deeper into types of wine and distribution centers. You will need to analyze these factors to figure out average costs and profits. All of your analyses need to be submitted in an annotated Excel file and include your reasoning.
A Calculate the costs of shipping to Portland and Riverside by pallets and frequency. Show your results in a table.
B Calculate the cost of production for the wine varieties sold in Portland and Riverside. Show your results in a table.
C Generate a labeled table that shows gross profit for each variety of wine for each distribution center. Explain why this information is important for informing operation efficiencies.
D Generate a labeled table that shows the profit after state taxes.
E Write a summary statement that describes the inefficiencies in the organizational cost and profit analysis. Explain why this information is important for influencing management decisions.
3 Optimizing Performance: Finally, you’ll decide on an optimal solution that will maximize the organization’s objectives. You’ll need to think about the level of sensitivity and uncertainty of other solutions in supporting your optimal solution. The analyses need to be submitted in an annotated Excel file and include your reasoning.
A Decide on the values of the constraints to be used to generate the target number when running Solver.
B Using Solver, calculate the level of sensitivity of decision variables and explain the importance of the report.
C Using Solver, calculate the limits of decision variables and explain the importance of the report.
D Identify solutions that will maximize profits for the organization based on the Solver analysis.
What to Submit
Your analysis report must be submitted as an Excel file. All spreadsheet, table, and chart functions must be created within the analysis report. Cutting and pasting spreadsheets, tables, or charts from another source will cause your work to be graded as “Not Evident.” It’s important to show that you used the spreadsheet functionality. Spreadsheets and tables must link to the information given in the Data tab. You must provide the rationale used for each task in the same tab where the task is addressed.
