There is a link in the chapter to a video about Clive Wearing, a man who suffered severe damage to the hippocampus in his brain. If you have not yet done so, watch the following video:

Make sure that you watch the video to at least the 12:37 mark. After watching the video discuss (in one to two paragraphs) your thoughts of how such an injury would impact his life and those around him. The focus of your paper should be on your ideas/thoughts rather than simply repeating what was noted in the video.

Brain Scene Investigation: Clive Wearings Fleeting Memory

As Deborah Wearing entered the room, her husband Clive ran to her, passionately calling her name and kissing her as soon as they embraced. To a casual onlooker it would have seemed obvious that the couple had been apart from one another for a long time. However, in this case, Deborah had just stepped out of the room momentarily. Each time she entered the room she would receive Clives passionate welcome. This bizarre scenario wasnt surprising to Deborah, at least not at this point. It had characterized each and every reunion with her husband for years.

Clives unique situation resulted from an illness that had appeared in the spring of 1985, with symptoms that he originally thought nothing of. But when his symptoms persistedchronic headache, sleepless nights, fever, and mental confusionClives doting wife, Deborah, called the doctor, who suggested that Clive had the flu. Hence, Clive and Deborah did not have any warning that, when Clive woke up on Tuesday, March 26, 1985, his conscious experience would be forever altered. Although Clive retained his fundamental level of intelligence and unimpaired use of his sensory and perceptual systems, each moment of his life was almost completely erased each time he blinked.

Nine years after the onset of Clives illness, Deborah walked into his room, and Clive asked her how long he had been ill. When Deborah said that it was nine years, Clive returned with, Nine years! Good heavens! Nine years.I havent heard anything, seen anything, felt anything, smelled anything, touched anything. Its been one long night lasting.how long? (Wearing, 2005, p. 333) When Deborah asked him to write how he felt, Clive responded, I am completely incapable of thinking (Wearing, 2005, p. 155).

Clives altered experience is passionately expressed in his daily journal entries. Each time he awoke from a nights sleep, or even blinked, seemed like his first awakening from an endless unconsciousness, and he thought the momentous occasion should be documented. Clive would document the time and then proclaim that he was finally completely awake, often beckoning for his beloved wife to come as quickly as possible. Seeing very similar entries in his journal that were written just minutes before his latest profound entry, however, created frustration and angst in Clive. His response was to declare the older journal entries rubbish and to try to add superlatives to each new entryreporting that it was indeed the first time he had been fully awake or using all capital letters and exclamation points, anything to distinguish the event from the endless similar reports that preceded it.

Behind the Scenes

Once Clive was admitted to the hospital, it was obvious to his doctors that his mental confusion was not a symptom of the flu. Eleven hours following his admission, a diagnosis was presented to Clive and Deborah. It appeared that encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain caused by the herpes simplex virus, was the culprit. Brain scans indicated diffuse damage throughout the cortical areas of Clives brainthe temporal, occipital, parietal, and frontal lobes. More noteworthy to the neurologists, however, was the viruss meticulous and complete destruction of one specific area of Clives brain, the hippocampus. As you learned in Chapter 2, the hippocampus is involved in learning and memory. Clives case certainly corroborated past evidence that the hippocampus plays a starring role in the formation of memories.

From a psychological perspective, Clive obviously could no longer establish memories for events such as taking a bite of his favorite food, celebrating a birthday with his family, or spending a day with his wife. Interestingly, in some cases he knew things that he couldnt specifically remember. For example, he couldnt remember his wedding, but knew Deborah was his wife; he had no memory of ever conducting a concert, but knew he was a musician. In fact, his amnesia, or memory loss, didnt affect his ability to, after declaring no memory for a musical score, sit down, and play it beautifully on the piano. The survival of a subset of Clives memories provides evidence for the existence of various types of memory systems that will be discussed throughout this chapter.

Nearly 30 years after Clives brain injury, his condition hasnt changed. Deborah regularly visits her husband in an assisted living facility, experiencing his endless dramatic proclamations of his love for herperhaps his most enduring memory. They both have accepted that Clives life consists of instantaneous scenesa literal translation of living in the moment.

Part A: Your systems analysis team is close to completing a system for Meecham Feeds. Roger is quite confident that the programs that he has written for Meecham’s inventory system will perform as necessary, because they are similar to programs he has done before. Your team has been very busy and would ideally like to begin full systems testing as soon as possible. 

Two of your junior team members have proposed the following:

a) Skip desk checking of the programs (because similar programs were checked in other installations; Roger has agreed). (10 points)

b) Do link testing with large amounts of data to prove that the system will work. (10 points) 

c) Do full systems testing with large amounts of live data to show that the system is working. (10points)

Respond to each of the three steps in their proposed test schedule. Use a paragraph to explain your response.

Part B: Mr. Bruce Schnieder, the owner of A&A Office Supplies Company, had contacted you for your advices on a new information system installed recently at his company to help improving his company inventory tasks. He told you that the team that came to install the system does not have any evaluation mechanism and he also mentioned to you that some of his employees had complained about the new system’s inputs and outputs. Since he wants to obtain the inventory result of this quarter, he would like to delay or skip the new system evaluation and use the new system for inventory right away. Given the above conditions, he would like to have your advices on his decision and on the evaluation of his new system.

a) In a paragraph, explain to Mr. Schnieder about problems that can occur when a system is not evaluated systematically? (10 points)

b) Devise a checklist or form that helps Mr. Schnieder’s employees evaluate the utilities of the new information system. Suggest a second way to evaluate the information system, if any. Please be specific and explain your answers. (10points)

Problem III- (50 points)

The problem is that the orders are not easily placed to the European plant, which is compounded whenever demand for the products increases dramatically. The company is looking for a systems solution that will address the problem and the solution should stress collaboration, flexibility, adaptability, and access. 

One of your systems analyst team members proposed the following simple network solution that is to create an intranet that links the U.S. distributors with the European headquarters.

As a systems analyst, would you approve this proposal? (The diagram is the proposal)

Please explain the reasons why you support or do not support this proposal. …need to offer some modifications to improve it.

All Pets Clinic Pharmacy has offered to give you a free lifetime supply of medicine if you design its database. 

Given the rising cost of veterinarian care, you agree. 

The following is the information you gathered:

• Pets are identified by a code #, and their names, addresses, and ages must be recorded• Veterinarians are identified by an SSN. For each veterinarian, the name. specialty, and years of experience must be recorded.• Each pharmaceutical company is identified by name and has a phone number• For each medication, the trade name and formula must be recorded. Each medication is sold by a given pharmaceutical company, and the trade name identifies a medication uniquely from among the products of that company.  Each pharmacy has a name, address, and phone number• Pharmaceutical companies have long-term contracts with pharmacies. A pharmaceutical company can contract with several pharmacies, and a pharmacy can contract with several pharmaceutical companies. For each contract, you have to store a start date, an end date, and the text of the contract.• Pharmacies appoint a supervisor for each contract. There must always be a supervisor for each contract, but the contract supervisor can change over the lifetime of the contract.• Each pharmacy sells several medications and has a price for each. A medication could be sold at several pharmacies, and the price could vary from one pharmacy to another.• Each medication has a date and a quantity associated with it.  You can assume that, if a veterinarian prescribes the same medication for the same pet more than once, only the last such medication needs to be stored.

1. Draw an ER diagram that captures the preceding information.  Identify any constraints not captured by the ER diagram (10pts.)

2. How would your design change if each medication must be sold at a fixed price by the pharmacies?  (Requirement: Provide a written explanation) (20pts.)

3. How would your design change if the design requirements change as follows:  If a veterinarian prescribes the same medication for the same petmore than once, several such prescriptions may have to be stored? (Requirement: Provide a written explanation) 20pts.
