...Question 6. Many drug safety research studies are sponsored by pharmaceutical companies that would financially benefit if the results of the study are favorable. Is this an example of a potential confounding factor? A confounding factor is an important difference between the two groups you are comparing, other then the one you’re primarily interested in. With regards to this question, there would most likely be two groups involved in the experimental study: the control group and the treatment group. The control group would receive a placebo while the treatment group was administered the drug. Because the sponsoring pharmaceutical most likely has a personal interest in the success of the drug, and hence a desirable effect from the treatment group. The confounding factor may be how and who the participants were chosen for the study. People who may be interested in being a part of the study may have a pre-existing condition that the drug will help. In other words, a drug company is not going to have a clot-relieving drug tested on people with no pre-existing clot issue as the drug would not be isolating the issue it is intended to mediate. Yes, the relationship of the sponsor (pharmaceutical company) to the study is a confounding factor and inherently causes bias and inaccuracies within the study. 13.

...1-2. Identify and describe the five environmental differences between governments and for-profit business enterprises as identified in the Governmental Accounting Standards Board's Why Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Is—and Should Be—Different. The five environmental differences include mission/purpose, source of revenue, potential longevity, relationship with stakeholders, and role of budget. The mission/purpose is defined by the goals of the organization. The purpose of a commercial business is to make money. A non-profit organization’s purpose is to provide a service, without compensation from the people being served. The source of revenue comes from net income, which comes from a sale of goods or services in the private sector or in the public sector comes from tax dollars or donations. The longevity potential for a private business depends on the ability to generate a profit. In contrast a non-profit relies upon tax dollars or donations. The stakeholders of a private corporation are the owners/stockholder/investors. The stakeholders of a public organization are the taxpayers and general public being served. The budget in the private sector is flexible, depending on revenues and directors. The budget within a public organization is typically not flexible and has to be followed exactly. 1-3.

...NT1330 Client-Server Networking II Name: Homework 1 Ch. 1 (70-642): Introduction to Networking Concepts Fill in the Blank: 1-10 The most widely used IP addressing scheme is IPv4. The most recent and largest address space IP addressing scheme is IPv6. To distribute IP addresses automatically, a network administrator would configure the DHCP service. The first attempt at breaking up IP address space used classful addressing to provide address ranges of differing sizes. Prior to the introduction of the Domain Name System, computers used HOST files to map human-readable named to IP addresses. A(n) Subnet Mask is used to separate the host address portion of an IP address from the network address. The subnet mask within the TCP/IP configuration is used to distinguish the network address from the host address. In dotted-decimal notation, each IPv4 address is broken up into four octets. Server computers and other systems that need to be accessed reliably by network clients should be configured with a(n) static IP address. The method of breaking up IP address space into address ranges of flexible size is called CIDR .
