Monuments of art history lecture november 11th 2010. Mona lisa: leo pushes expectations of genre, composition demonstrates triangle moves away from rep of social types, more representation of individuality. Her gaze- addressing view symbolizes transgression in empowering female subjects. He kept it, unseen by many until his death, he could not part with it. Mme picasso- paradigm of modernist art, not seen by many at the time before 1911. Some art works not ready to be seen but then clearly have a great impact.

In mutation accumulation experiments on Caenorhabditis elegans, deleterious mutations were observed to accumulate at a slow but steady rate when the populations were grown in a benign environment, with optimal temperature and humidity, minimal crowding of individuals, abundant food, and no predators or parasites. Control lines grown under normal conditions did not accumulate mutations at the same rate. After 240 generations, experimental lines that had accumulated substantial mutations were removed from the benign environment and these lines were propagated. Explain the results once the recovery lines were established, and how this experiment demonstrates the significance of natural selection in the evolutionary process.

This question relates to material covered in Topic 1particularly the Australian taxation system and the dividendimputation credits. This question addresses the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and4th subject learning outcomes. Students are expected to conducttheir own research and develop their own opinions about the meritsof this topic. There is no single correct answer and students willbe marked on the depth of their research, the quality of theirarguments (for and against), and their demonstrated understandingof the issues involved in this complex area of financial policy.Write an essay of between 600 and 1,000 words discussing thefollowing topic. The Australian federal government and businessrepresentative bodies argue that the Australian corporate tax rateis too high and makes Australia uncompetitive with competingeconomies. The government has plans to eventually lower theAustralian corporate tax rate to 25%. The government believes thatthis will improve the economy and ultimately taxpayers bystimulating business investment and creating jobs. Internationally,many countries are lowering their corporate tax rates including,most recently, Donald Trumpâs United States. Does Australiaâscurrent level of corporate taxation make the country economicallyuncompetitive? Start by reviewing The Conversation article FactCheck: Is Australiaâs corporate tax rate not competitive with therest of the region?â(https://theconversation.com/factcheck-is-australias-corporate-tax-rate-not-competitive-with-the-rest-of-the-region-37226).Do you believe that lowering the Australian corporate tax rate isgood policy? Discuss this issue and give particular considerationto the Australian dividend imputation system and how the Australiancorporate tax rate impacts on Australian taxpayers. There are adivergence of views and resources available for students to access.There are many items in the mainstream online media which canvasthe Governmentâs view and also that of those opposing. Studentsshould access resources from government, industry, and not forprofit community groups such as Get Up! as well as the broaderprint and electronic media. Remember, there is no correct answerand individual students will be assessed on their demonstratedunderstanding of the issues and the depth and quality of theirindividual research.

As you may recall in the work of Triplett (1898), the presence of others in a bicycle race was found to enhance individual performance. This is called social facilitation (Williams, Harkins, & Karau, 2007). At times, however, the presence of others can detract from individual performance, which is termed social inhibition (Crisp & Turner, 2007). Similarly, social loafing can occur when an individualâs performance within a group decreases due to his or her reliance on others in the group (Crisp & Turner, 2007).

For this Discussion, review the media program, Week 5: The Virtual Office. Focus on the characters in the media and determine which characters displayed social facilitation, social inhibition, and social loafing.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 3 a description of the characters in the media program demonstrating social loafing, social inhibition, and social facilitation. Explain how you identified them. Then, select one of the characters and, using the current literature, explain two ways you might mitigate their behavior.

Media Program

(Onscreen Text: The employees at the United Cardboard Company often work individually on projects, but as with most environments, they are occasionally asked to participate in group projects. One such group is about to meet right now to plan a presentation for the Board of Directors. Observe the conversation and reactions of various group members to determine which group members exhibit signs of the following: Social Loafing, Social Inhibition, and Social Facilitation.)

(Interior of an office. Ken stands at the front of the conference room.)

KEN: OK, I guess we might as well all get started. As we all know, the big man has requested the five of us to get together and write and conceptualize a presentation to the board on our new packaging system. Maybe we can start by going around and throwing out some initial ideas.

KATHY: Sounds good to me. I think a PowerPoint presentation would do the job well.

GAVIN: I agree. We could follow it up with a physical demonstration of how the packaging looks and folds-- maybe a video of the larger pieces that won't fit into the boardroom.

KEN: Sounds perfect to me. Amanda, Brian, what do you guys think?

BRIAN: Yeah, what you guys said sounds fine.

(Amanda thinks, âI donât know what to say!â)

KEN: Amanda?

AMANDA: I don't know. I didn't really get much chance to think about this. We only found out we needed to do this together three days ago.

KEN: OK, no worries. Let's focus on the PowerPoint idea. I've been doing a lot of them lately, so I'm happy to take the lead on the design aspect. What do you guys think we should all incorporate into the slides?

GAVIN: I think we should start with where we got the idea for this new packaging -- the company that designed it and the different sizes that it comes in.

KATHY: We should follow that with a graph comparing the old prices to the new ones to illustrate how much we'll be saving over time. Amanda, didn't you have most of that information collected at some point?

(Amanda thinks, âOh no! What if I deleted that?)

AMANDA: I don't know, maybe, it's been so long. I didn't think I'd need it again for a group project like this.

(Gavin thinks, âI wonder whatâs gotten into her. Sheâs not usually this tense.â)

KEN: That's OK, Amanda, I'm sure we can easily dig it up again. Brian, do you have any other ideas for the PowerPoint slides?

BRIAN: Nah, I think what you guys mentioned sounds right.

(Kathy thinks, âWow. Way to contribute Brian.â)

KEN: OK then, Kathy and Gavin why don't you send me all of the info and I'll write it up and make the slides. Amanda, don't worry about the cost saving document, I'm sure I can dig it up from my old emails and put it into that slide too.

AMANDA: Are you sure? I'm happy to look. I mean I'm sure I have it somewhere. (Kathy thinks, âShe really needs to get it together. Why is she so nervous?â) At least I think I have it somewhere. You won't tell the Board of Directors if I lost it, will you?

KEN: Of course not, we're in it together. So as I was saying, I'll write up and prepare all the PowerPoint slides. Then we can start our presentation with reading and explaining each slide. Then, what?

KATHY: Well, and then I think we should show them the packaging live, and the quick deconstructing techniques.

KEN: Great idea. You and Amanda can demonstrate the folding, while I narrate what you're doing.

(Amanda thinks, âIs he doing too much of the work? And what if I drop everything while heâs talking?â)

GAVIN: And after you all demonstrate the smaller packaging, we could show a quick video of how the really big ones function down at the warehouse. Brian, would you be able to go film that quickly one of these days?

BRIAN: I don't really have any experience with video cameras or anything like that, so...

(Gavin thinks, âI should have seen that one coming.â)

KEN: That's OK. My wife actually just got me this great little camera for our anniversary. It takes great videos. So I can just run down to the warehouse, get some footage, then put it together on this new editing software I just downloaded. Maybe add a little music. It's going to be really slick!

KATHY: Are you sure, I wouldn't mind doing that too.

KEN: Oh no, it's fine. I love this kind of stuff; just leave it to me. But I suppose that's enough planning. Now it's time to get to work and make the presentation a knock out. Go team!
