Mesopotamia y god created all living things in this world male and female, including leviathan the slant serpent and leviathan the tortuous serpent. He was able to destroy and recreate stars y therefore, the people proclaimed him as king: tiamat y y. In babylonian mythology, tiamat is a chaos monster, a primordial goddess of the ocean. In the enuma elish, the babylonian epic of creation, she gives birth to the first generation of deities; she later makes war upon them and is killed by the storm-god marduk.

An Overview of Consequential, Nonconsequential and Virtue Ethics Theories

What is Ethics?

Ethics is the study of those values that relate to our moral conduct, including questions of good and evil, right and wrong, and moral responsibility.

Consequentialist Theories:

Consequentialist theories claim that the morality of an action depends only on its consequences.

It only considers the result of actions and not principles or rules in determining morality.

Types of Consequentialist Theories:

Ethical Egoism argues that each person should act in their own self interests.

Act Utilitarianism argues that each person should act in a way that produces the greatest happiness for everyone.

Rule Utilitarianism argues that each person should follow rules that tend to produce the greatest happiness for everyone.

Weaknesses of Consequentialist Theories:

Requires person to predict the future and all possible outcomes.

Can easily be used to justify questionable actions (the end justifies the means).

Nonconsequentialist Theories:

Nonconsequentialist theories claim that the morality of an action depends on principles or other factors that are not related to consequences.

Types of Nonconsequentialist Theories:

Divine command theory argues that we should obey the laws of God.

Kant’s Categorical Imperative states that we should always act in a way that is based on reason, duty, and would be considered ethical if everyone acted in the exact same way. Also, people should be treated as an ends and not as a means.

Weaknesses of Nonconsequentialist Theories:

Divine Command requires a high degree of interpretation skills.

Variety of religions makes standards hard to develop for all.

Can be rigid and ignore outcomes

Virtue Ethics:

Virtue ethics seeks to identify character traits of a moral person and develop those with the idea that the virtuous person will act in a virtuous manner. It does not look to principles or consequences.

Virtue ethics was developed among the ancient Greek philosophers such as Aristotle and Confucius.

Virtue ethics enjoys modern support as an approach that avoids many of the problems with Consequential and Nonconsequential ethical theories.

Weaknesses of Virtue Theory:

Difficulty in determining just which characteristics are virtues

Justification for respecting a virtue usually brings one back to either consequences or principles.

Difficulty in applying to specific situations.

Conclusion:

One theory is not enough to cover all possible choices.

Theories can be synthesized to fit one’s philosophy of life.

One theory’s weakness is another’s strength.

Topic A

1. Indicate to which branch(es) of theimmune system the following statements apply.

Explain your answer.

a) Involves macrophages

b) Responds to viral infection

c) Involves T cells

d) Responds to bacterial toxins

e) Most likely responds following an organ transplant

f) Involves cytotoxic T cells

g) Involves B cells

h) Involves complement

i) Responds to extracellular bacterial infection

j) Involves secreted antibody

k) Kills virus infected self cells

I) Involves the thymus

m) Involves the bone marrow

2. You are given two solutions, one containing protein A and theother the antibody to this protein both at about 5mg/ml. When youadd 1 ml of anti-A to 1 ml of protein A, a precipitate forms.However, when you dilute the antibody solution 20 fold and then mix1 ml of the diluted anti-A with 1 ml protein A, no precipitateforms.

Explain why no precipitate formed with the diluted antibody.

3. An energetic immunology student has isolated protein X.

The student believes it is a new isotype of humanimmunoglobulin.

a)What structural features would protein X have to have in orderto be classified as an immunoglobulin?

b) You prepare rabbit antibodies to (i) whole human IgG, (ii) tohuman λ chain and (iii) to human γ chain.

Assuming protein X is in fact a new immunoglobulin isotype,which of these antibodies will bind to protein X? Explain why?

TOPIC B

4. a) Describe the time course of a typical antibody response totetanus toxoid

b) Outline a vaccination schedule that makes effective use ofthis information.

5. a) Tetanus immunoglobulin from the horse can be used toprotect an individual against tetanus. How is the treatmentadministered and what are the advantages/disadvantages of this formof immunisation? 2

b) Is it possible to confer cell mediated immunity on anunsensitised recipient by transferring cells?

c) Would this be a practical method of immunisation, and whatproblems may be encountered in this type of experiment?

6. If you inject a rabbit with a large protein antigen X andsubsequently harvest the antiserum from the animal, would youexpect the antibodies to X in the antiserum to be monoclonal orpolyclonal?

TOPIC C

7. a) Why, if the immune system is so efficient, do we continueto suffer from infectious diseases?

b) Speculate on the consequences if the immune system were tolose its ability to distinguish self-antigens from foreignones.

c) If a child is born without a thymus gland, what will be thenature of the child's illness

d) If a child were born with a defect in the complement system,say a deficiency in function C3, what would be theconsequences?

8 Considering only combinational joining of gene segments andassociation of light and heavy chains, how many different antibodymolecules potentially could be generated from germ line DNAcontaining 500VL and 4JL gene segments and 200VH. 10DH and 4JH genesegments?

9 During an immune response to antigen, the antibodies producedduring a secondary and subsequent responses have a greater affinityfor antigen than those produced during a primary response toantigen

Explain what is meant by "affinity"

Explain in principle the mechanism which explains the aboveobservation re increasing antibody affinity for antigen insecondary and subsequent responses

All-In operates casinos across the United States. The company has experienced tremendous success at its existing casino locations and would like to expand its operations by opening a new casino in Asia in the next few years. Off-Book is in the business of (1) acquiring land to develop buildings that meet its customer specifications and (2) subsequently leasing the buildings to the customer. On January 1, 2012, All-In and Off-Book entered into an arrangement in which Off-Book will purchase land in a specific location and build a casino according to All-In’s specifications. Once the construction is complete (expected by January 1, 2014), Off-Book will lease the casino to All-In. Although All-In provided the overall design and layout of the casino, Off-Book is responsible for all construction activities. The budgeted cost of constructing the casino is $60 million. Off-Book will pay all construction costs up to the budgeted amount and $40 million to purchase the land. In order to minimize Off-Book’s construction risk — which in turn allows Off-Book to charge lower rental payments — All-In has agreed to directly pay for all construction cost overruns. AllIn believes its responsibility to pay construction cost overruns is not a significant risk given OffBook’s history of successfully constructing large buildings (including casinos) close to budget. While some variability in the total cost of constructing the casino is expected, All-In considers it remote that the total construction costs of the building will exceed $65 million. On the basis of the estimated construction costs and the purchase price of the land, Off-Book and All-In jointly entered into a lease for the casino with the following key terms: • The lease has a 20-year term beginning on the date construction of the casino is completed. The expected life of the casino is 40 years. • All-In will make annual lease payments to Off-Book in the amount of $5 million, beginning on the date construction is completed. • The lease does not transfer title and does not contain any renewal options or purchase options. • All-In’s incremental borrowing rate is 6 percent. On the basis of the terms above, All-In believes that the lease will qualify for operating lease accounting. Required: 1. How should All-In account for the lease on January 1, 2012 (the date All-In and OffBook entered into the lease)? 2. Assume that construction of the casino was completed as scheduled on January 1, 2014. Would All-In need to reevaluate the transaction upon completion of construction?
