Sorry to continue trolling you with questions, but I waswondering why my voice always sounds so different on a recordeddevice then how I think I sound. Everyone seems to have thatexperience where they think "do I really sound like that?" Do wehear are own voices differently that how we sound to others?

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 individual’s 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, “I don’t know what to say!”)

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, “Oh 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, “I wonder what’s gotten into her. She’s not usually this tense.”)

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, “Wow. Way to contribute Brian.”)

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, “She really needs to get it together. Why is she so nervous?”) 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, “Is he doing too much of the work? And what if I drop everything while he’s talking?”)

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, “I should have seen that one coming.”)

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!

Cell phone use has exploded over the past five years. While the restrictions of cell phone use are being relaxed in some hospital settings, there continue to be concerns about patient privacy in the use of camera phones, sounds (ringtones) that are distracting and can sound like alarms.

While the use of cell phones in hospitals is beyond the scope of this class, our concern is certainly about patient privacy and safety.

Imagine that you are a patient in the hospital, post-surgery (one that you do not want the local gossip to know about…more or less your friends), you are up in the hall walking (as advised by your care givers) in a glamorous hospital gown, and of course no makeup and hair disheveled. As you walk past a room another patient’s visitor is taking a picture and you are in the background. Of course, you live in a small rural area where “everyone knows everyone” and soon after friends begin calling family to find out what is going on. You respond, “will that go on social media?” and the reply is, “of course, everyone posts on there.”

How would you react to the situation? Should there be a restriction on camera phones, why or why not? What responsibility do you think the hospital has? List at least three actions the hospital should take to prevent this from happening again. In addition, ask one question about this topic for others to answer and/or clarify.

I have two proteins and I will be preparing a vector with bothgenes for stable transfection. Each protein will have their ownpromoter and I will use piggyBac vector to insert a single cassettewith both genes in it into the chromosomes. My questions are:

  1. If I use the same promoter (CMV, SV40 or an inducible one) forboth genes how would this effect the expression levels? I read insome papers that one of the genes gets expressed lower than theother. If you have first hand experience about that I will begrateful if I can hear about it.
  2. If I use the same promoter for both but put them far away (sayends of the cassette) would the expression levels affected again?It sounds simple enough but I think people would have publishedsomething if they had a good result with that.
  3. If I use different promoters for each gene (e.g. CMV for oneand Tet-inducible for the other) how would it work? I couldn't finda paper which used this and I would like to continue with thisapproach; therefore, if you have any experience on this I will bereally grateful for your helps.

I don't want to use IRES or 2A-peptide. I would like to be ableto control this experiment in transcription stage.
