· Noise Induced Hearing Loss
· Hearing Conservation
· Hearing Protectors
· Sound Measurement Technologies
· Government regulations Designed to Protect Individuals from Excessive Exposure

1. In your discussion, introduce and present two web-based resources to share with your fellow students. A resource can be an educational animation, tutorial, product description, national agency, government document, scholarly research paper, etc. Be creative and thorough when searching. For each resource, provide:

The URL
Information about who produced the resource
A description about what the resource is
How each resource relates to one of the topics above
2. Keeping in mind this week’s lecture, describe how you would apply these resources to your everyday musical activities. Then provide a critical discussion about the advantages and limitations of this approach, both to the musical activity and hearing health.

ADAPTED FROM PROBLEM 19 ON PAGE 549 OF TEXT:

THE GIVENS

  • THE ORIGINAL BUDGET NUMBERS
    • HMO would have 100,000 members.
    • 1 in 4 of these members would use the dermatologic services per month (100,000 divided by 4 = 25,000 visits)
    • Budgeted Revenue was $360,000 per month.
    • Budgeted Expenses were $300,000 per month.
  • ACTUAL NUMBERS:
    • HMO members increased by 5% to a total of 105,000.
    • 1 in 3 of these members used the dermatologic services per month (105,000 divided by 3 = 35,000 visits).
    • Actual Revenue was $550,000 per month.
    • Actual Expenses were $370,000 per month.

COMPARING THE BUDGETED REVENUE, THE FLEXIBLE BUDGET REVENUE AND THE ACTUAL REVENUE

ACTIVITYANSWER
A.  ENTER THE BUDGETED REVENUE PER MONTH(from GIVENS) 
B. ENTER THE BUDGETED REVENUE PER VISITCalculate the budgeted revenue per visit —this is determined by dividing the budgeted revenues by the budgeted number of visits. 
C.  ENTER THE FLEXIBLE BUDGET REVENUE ESTIMATECalculate the flexible budget revenue estimate (what the revenue would have been estimated to be if the actual number of visits had been used)—this is determined by multiplying the budgeted revenue per visit (from B) by the actual number of visits 
D.  ENTER THE ACTUAL REVENUE PER MONTH(from GIVENS) 
E.  ENTER THE ACTUAL REVENUE PER VISITCalculating the actual revenue per visit (what was actually earned for each visit made) – this is determined by dividing the actual revenue by the actual number of visits. 
COMPARE “B” AND “E”. Did the company make more or less per visit than they budgeted for? 
COMPARE “C” AND “D”. If the correct number of visits had been estimated initially, would the company have meet, exceeded, or fell short of their budget? 

COMPARING THE BUDGETED EXPENSE, THE FLEXIBLE BUDGET EXPENSE, AND THE ACTUAL EXPENSE

ACTIVITYANSWER
A.  ENTER THE BUDGETED EXPENSE PER MONTH(from GIVENS) 
B. ENTER THE BUDGETED EXPENSE PER VISITCalculate the budgeted expense per visit —this is determined by dividing the budgeted expense by the budgeted number of visits. 
C.  ENTER THE FLEXIBLE BUDGET EXPENSE ESTIMATECalculate the flexible budget expense estimate (what the expense would have been estimated to be if the actual number of visits had been used)—this is determined by multiplying the budgeted expense per visit (from B) by the actual number of visits 
D.  ENTER THE ACTUAL EXPENSE PER MONTH(from GIVENS) 
E.  ENTER THE ACTUAL EXPENSE PER VISITCalculate the actual expense per visit (what was actually spent on each visit made) – this is determined by dividing the actual expense by the actual number of visits. 
COMPARE “B” AND “E”. Did the company spend more or less per visit than they budgeted for? 
COMPARE “C” AND “D”. If the correct number of visits had been estimated initially, would the company have meet, exceeded, or fell short of their budget?

Medical Sociology and Public Health

  1. Paraphrase the following:

SpitlerH.D. (2001). Medical Sociology and Public Health: Problems and prospects for collaboration in the new millennium. Sociological Spectrum, 21(3), 247-263.

“According to Levinson (1998) and others, public health has continued to concentrate on changing the individual behaviors and exposures to pathology rather than targeting the conditions influencing those behaviors and exposures. These individualistic approaches are ’’safer’’ than structural approaches because they do not require the modification of the social structure or existing political, economic, or cultural structures or processes.”

  1. Paraphrase the following:

Source: ChattopadhyayS.K., &V.G. CarandeKulis. (2004). Economics of prevention: the public health research agenda. Journal of Public Health Management and Practice, 10(5), 467-471.

“Unlike the market for apples and oranges, consumption of prevention activities may not render immediate satisfaction to consumers. From the economic perspective, demand for preventive services is more likely to follow the health capital investment model originally developed by Grossman. Prevention is assumed to improve the stock of health relative to what it would be in its absence. This improvement is anticipated to enable people to reap increased economic returns from production and consumption activities over a longer period of time.”
