Discussion Assignment: Referencing the ROME mnemonic listed below, submit a discussion post supported by at least one reference explaining the significance of the following lab results. Submit your results as your discussion contribution.
In this week’s reading material, you are learning about the importance of acid-base balance in maintaining homeostasis. The acid-base balance must be maintained within a narrow range in order for the body to function normally. Please read over the following case study to address the questions below. Please reference the ROME mnemonic listed below as needed. Don’t forget to cite your sources!
Mrs. Breathless is a 45-year-old female nurse with a history of asthma. She reports to the ED in the early morning with shortness of breath, blurred vision, headache, and restlessness. After several laboratory tests, the following ABG (arterial blood gases) lab results are confirmed:
Blood pH=7.30
PaCO2 = 46 mm Hg
HCO3 = 24 mEq/L.
Based on the results of her ABG, which acid-base imbalance is Mrs. Breathless likely experiencing? Justify your answer by referencing the ROME mnemonic.
What is the underlying pathophysiology of this disorder? What type of compensation is likely to take place?
Why do you think Mrs. Breathless developed this imbalance? What are some of the contributing factors leading to this?
RO-ME:
Respiratory Opposite: When pH is up, PaCO2 is down = Alkalosis, When pH is down, PaCO2 is up = Acidosis
Metabolic Equal: When pH is up, HCO3 is up = Alkalosis, When pH is down, HCO3 is down = Acidosis

“Expanding into Emerging Markets: A Risk Analysis and Strategic Recommendations for a U.S. Fishing Boat Manufacturer” “Entering an Emerging Market: Risks, SWOT Analysis, and Business-Level Strategies for a Boat Manufacturer”
Today’s business environment requires competency in managing risk and selecting business strategies based on a company’s internal and external analyses.
In this task you will act as a consultant for the company in the given scenario. As you complete the task, think about the materials you encountered in the course or past projects you may have worked on that required evaluating risks and conducting risk analyses. You will be required to apply your understanding to discuss risks and rewards of the market entry; analyze the company’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT); and recommend business strategies.A U.S. fishing boat manufacturer is known throughout the United States for its innovative approach to product design, lean manufacturing, and responsive customer service since its start three years ago. The mission statement of the company is “We will provide the most innovative customer-driven design and growth in the industry.” The founders’ ideals for the company are described in the vision statement: “We will be the most sustainable company in the industry.” The company’s ethical statement that guides all conduct and decision-making is “We will make decisions that are sustainable for customers and the environment.”
The company’s founders have created an organizational culture of innovation in which employees and founders are considered equal partners. The founders have provided incentives for employees’ creative ideas and created testing laboratories where customers use the products and provide design feedback. The founders have also invited innovators in other industries, such as gaming and information technology, to improve on the designs.
The company’s organizational structure is decentralized and provides all employees with decision-making responsibilities. All company decisions are evaluated by all employees to ensure that everyone is committed to the decisions. Additionally, all employees can access the company founders at any time for collaboration, shared decision-making, or relationship building.
The company has identified an emerging global market opportunity in India for its products. Successful sales in India could represent a critical moment for the company if the company establishes strategic partnerships that will increase the likelihood of product success. The founders hope to capture profits and market share and expand into other parts of Asia within the first year of selling products in India.
Research indicates market potential for the company’s sales in India because of the importance of the fishing industry in the country. Fishing and aquaculture are primary industries in the coastal regions of India. Economic zones have been established to support the over 14 million people who are an important part of the fishing industry. This industry makes up 1% of the nation’s gross domestic product and 6.56% of global fish exports (Department of Fisheries, 2019).
The company’s goal of the market expansion is to be the first foldable fishing boat manufacturer in India. An origami-inspired foldable fishing boat is the company’s most popular product. This boat comes designed as a plastic carrying case that unfolds into the water like an origami paper boat. This boat is suitable for use in calm water, and the boat can be recycled. The product retails for USD$200.
Traditional fishers in India use nonmechanized boats, which would be ideal for the foldable boat’s entry into the market. Laws and regulations surrounding the use of nonmechanized boats favor importing foldable boats, which would be easy for fishers to carry from home to the water. The business climate in India is open to new partnerships to improve the fishing experience for those who preserve the natural ecosystem with nonmotorized boats. The National Fisheries Development Board (NFDB) promotes the use of natural fishing equipment to reduce disruption to the fishing ecosystem in India (National Fisheries Development Board, n.d.).
The U.S. boat manufacturer’s founders met with the NFDB to request an endorsement for their foldable boats because of the product’s sustainable design and net-zero environmental impact. The founders discovered that the NFDB would only endorse the boat if it was made of plastics used in India in order to reduce the waste products in the nation’s landfills.
This endeavor would require the U.S. company to make a significant investment in India. The company would need to purchase or build a manufacturing facility, or it would need to contract with a facility owner to secure a manufacturing location. It would need to employ Indian workers. Lastly, the company would need to manufacture a new foldable boat made from used plastics in India with an environmentally friendly waterproof coating.
The new foldable boat could be designed in several ways, and the company would need to test a series of plastic products and waterproof coatings to determine which would be suitable for fishers in India. The fishers range in age from 13 to 70, so the design would need to be comfortable and portable enough for all fishers in this target group.
The company decides to hire Indian fishers to help design the product to reach this market. These fishers will provide qualitative, open-ended conversations and data that will be valuable in communicating the product’s features and benefits to other fishers. The product will be tested by a variety of fishers who represent different sectors of the fishing industry, different regions, and different cultural segments. Testing will provide generalizable qualitative data about the product’s use and effectiveness.

“The Influence of Juror Decision-Making Processes on the Verdict in the Extinction Rebellion Protesters Case” “Understanding and Influencing Decision Making: A Psychological Perspective on Environmental Crises and Climate Change”
(100% of the mark for this TMA)
Read through the newspaper article below and then answer the question.
The question: Critically evaluate the ways in which the jury’s verdict in this case may have been influenced by juror decision-making processes, stating whether you agree or disagree with the verdict. In your answer, use evidence from Block 5 and draw on what you know about humans in nature, plus at least two of the following three areas of psychology – cognitive psychology, individual differences and social psychology.
Jury acquits Extinction Rebellion protesters despite ‘no defence in law’
Six Extinction Rebellion protesters have been cleared of causing criminal damage to Shell’s London headquarters despite the judge directing jurors that they had no defence in law.
Two of the group’s co-founders, Simon Bramwell, 49, and Ian Bray, 53, were acquitted on Friday alongside Jane Augsburger, 55, Senan Clifford, 60, David Lambert, 62, and James “Sid” Saunders, 41, after a trial at Southwark crown court.
The six, who represented themselves, were also cleared of individual counts of having an article with intent to destroy or damage property, while a seventh protester, Katerina Hasapopoulos, 43, earlier pleaded guilty to criminal damage.
Prosecutor Diana Wilson told jurors that each of the defendants deliberately sprayed graffiti or smashed windows of the Shell building in Belvedere Road, central London, on 15 April 2019.
The protest, which saw activists pour fake oil, glue themselves to windows and doors, break glass, climb on to a roof and spray graffiti, was part of wider Extinction Rebellion demonstrations across the capital.
Wilson said that while some protesters stood outside the building holding banners or speaking through megaphones, “these defendants went further”, adding: “The seven involved caused significant damage.”
All those who stood trial explained they had targeted the Shell building because the oil giant was directly contributing to the climate crisis, thereby causing serious injury and death, and argued that it was a “necessary” and “proportionate” response to the harm being caused.
Clifford quoted Sir David Attenborough and former archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams in his evidence.
He said: “I believe if I don’t do whatever I can to protect our Earth, to protect life on this Earth, to stop the death and injury that is and will be happening, I’m committing a crime, a really serious crime, and I’m willing to break a window, to paint a message on a wall, I’m willing to break the glass on that emergency button, even if some say that’s a crime.
“Because this is a much bigger crime and I’m trying to stop that crime, I’m trying to protect life in the only way I feel I can.”
Judge Gregory Perrins directed jurors that even if they thought the protesters were “morally justified”, it did not provide them with a lawful excuse to commit criminal damage.
…
But the jury of seven women and five men took seven hours and four minutes to acquit them of both charges. Some of the defendants waved at jurors, several of whom were visibly emotional, as they left court.
Before reaching their verdicts, the jury had asked to see a copy of the oath they took when they were sworn in.
Thanking jurors for their “care and attention”, the judge said: “This has been an unusual case.”
…
Speaking after the verdicts, Bramwell said: “This is such a significant victory for the consciousness of the British people when it comes to the huge, immediate threat of climate change and the absolute failure of our government to do anything meaningful about it.”
(Adapted from PA Media, 2021)
The material to answer this question comes primarily from Week 25 ‘Juror and jury decision making’, which specifically explores the ways in which juries make decisions. You may also find it helpful to look at Week 22 ‘Humans in nature’ to help construct an answer for the second element of the question.

Week 25, Section 4 ‘How jurors make decisions’
Chapter 15, Section 4 ‘Cognitive psychology and the story model’
Chapter 15, Section 5 ‘Individual differences in juror decision making’
Chapter 15, Section 6 ‘Social psychology and juror decision making’
Week 22, Section 3: Making sense of anthropogenic climate change
Week 22, Section 4 ‘Encouraging pro-environmental behaviour’
Chapter 13, Section 2 ‘Environmental crises’
Chapter 13, Section 3 ‘Managing knowledge about environmental crises’

Title: Exploring Nonverbal Communication: A Comparative Analysis of Two Chapters
Intro: (appx. 1/2 page). Tell me the two Chapters you chose, and, describe which issue or fact or element of each author’s approach to nonverbal communication you found most interesting or novel. Be specific; don’t only state “I like his approach” or “his approach was most scientific.” You need to explain why. Thus “His approach was most scientific because he…” or “I like his approach because he …”
Commonalities: (appx. 1 page). Describe 2 guiding principles or other aspects of nonverbal communication that each of your two author’s chapters have in common with each other. Be specific here too, and keep it focused on the nonverbal stuff. Are there assumptions they share? How do they assess or prove things?
Differences: (appx. 1 page). Describe 2 guiding principles or other aspects of nonverbal communication that each of your author’s chapters differ from each other. Be specific…different assumptions? Models of human nature? Situational factors?
Contemporary synthesis: (appx. 1 page). Describe which of the two chapter authors you selected had the most effective application of nonverbal communication. Why do you think that is so? And finally: How might that author be helped or hindered by advances in Artificial Intelligence? Give one reason how AI might help them, and one reason why it might hinder their work. (e.g., written accounts, nonverbal behavior analysis, faking investigations, identifying killers, product marketing, diagnosing patients, or whatever -ANYTHING you can think of even if tangentially related). Make sure to back up your reason with at least one fact from either the text / book of readings / lectures from our Nonverbal Communication course. Also make sure that you keep the focus on nonverbal communication aspects, and the science of it all, as they apply to the practical issue. If you use material from Chapter 18 of the text (the synthesis chapter) make sure to cite that as the place where you got the insight; however, you need to come up with your own insights too. -
