  • Management Levels: A Hierarchical View

    • An organization can have many different managers, across many different titles, authority levels, and levels of the management hierarchy.
    • Examples of top-level managers include a company's board of directors, president, vice-president and CEO; examples of middle-level managers include general managers, branch managers, and department managers; examples of low-level managers include supervisors, section leads, and foremen.
    • In many organizations, the number of managers in every level resembles a pyramid.
    • Middle-level managers devote more time to organizational and directional functions than top-level managers.
    • Also referred to as first-level managers, low-level managers are role models for employees.
  • Chicago/Turabian: Headings

    • Chicago style puts forth specific rules for formatting headings (up to five levels) within your paper:
    • You should always use heading levels in this order, beginning with Level 1.
    • So, if you have a paper with two levels of headings, you would use Level 1 formatting for the higher level and Level 2 formatting for the lower level.
    • Similarly, if you have a paper with five levels of headings, you would use Level 1 formatting for the highest level and Level 5 formatting for the lowest level.
    • These are the formatting rules for different levels of headings in APA style.
  • What is Bloom's Taxonomy?

    • Throughout the years, the levels have often been depicted as a stairway, leading many teachers to encourage their students to "climb to a higher (level of) thought. " The lowest three levels are: knowledge, comprehension, and application.
    • The highest three levels are: analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.
    • "The taxonomy is hierarchical; [in that] each level is subsumed by the higher levels.
    • In other words, a student functioning at the 'application' level has also mastered the material at the 'knowledge' and 'comprehension' levels. " (http://teachingacademy.wisc.edu/).
    • One can easily see how this arrangement led to natural divisions of lower and higher level thinking.
  • Randomized Design: Single-Factor

    • For example, if there are 3 levels of the primary factor with each level to be run 2 times, then there are $6!
    • An example of an unrandomized design would be to always run 2 replications for the first level, then 2 for the second level, and finally 2 for the third level.
    • To randomize the runs, one way would be to put 6 slips of paper in a box with 2 having level 1, 2 having level 2, and 2 having level 3.
    • $L$: 4 levels of that single factor (called 1, 2, 3, and 4)
    • $N$: 4 levels multiplied by 3 replications per level gives 12 runs
  • APA: Headings

    • You should always use heading levels in this order, beginning with Level 1.
    • So, if you have a paper with two levels of headings, you would use Level 1 formatting for the higher level and Level 2 formatting for the lower level.
    • Similarly, if you have a paper with five levels of headings, you would use Level 1 formatting for the highest level and Level 5 formatting for the lowest level.
    • This means that the first heading you use in your introduction will follow Level 1 formatting, because it is the first and so at the highest level.
    • These are the formatting rules for different levels of headings in APA style.
  • Middle-Level Management

    • Middle management is the intermediate management level accountable to top management and responsible for leading lower level managers.
    • Most organizations have three management levels: first-level, middle-level, and top-level managers.
    • Middle management is the intermediate leadership level of a hierarchical organization, being subordinate to the senior management but above the lowest levels of operational staff.
    • Because middle managers work with both top-level managers and first-level managers, middle managers tend to have excellent interpersonal skills relating to communication, motivation, and mentoring.
    • Leadership skills are also important in delegating tasks to first-level managers.
  • Hormonal Control of Blood Calcium Levels

    • Blood levels of calcium are regulated by the parathyroid hormone, which acts on the bones, kidneys, and intestines to keep levels constant.
    • PTH is released in response to low blood calcium levels.
    • It increases calcium levels by targeting the skeleton, the kidneys, and the intestine .
    • PTH release is inhibited by rising blood calcium levels.
    • Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is released in response to low blood calcium levels.
  • Parathyroid Hormone

    • Parathyroid hormone maintains the body's calcium levels by increasing absorption of calcium from the bones, kidneys, and GI tract.
    • PTH is a small protein hormone that is integral to the regulation of the level of calcium in the blood via the bone, kidneys, and intestines.
    • Parathyroid hormone acts to increase blood calcium levels, while calcitonin acts to decrease blood calcium levels.
    • Parathyroid hormone acts on the bone to increase blood calcium levels by stimulating osteoclasts to break down bone, releasing calcium into the bloodstream.
    • It acts on the kidneys to increase blood calcium levels by promoting calcium reabsorption in the nephrons.
  • Level of Confidence

    • The proportion of confidence intervals that contain the true value of a parameter will match the confidence level.
    • The desired level of confidence is set by the researcher (not determined by data).
    • If a corresponding hypothesis test is performed, the confidence level is the complement of respective level of significance (i.e., a 95% confidence interval reflects a significance level of 0.05).
    • In applied practice, confidence intervals are typically stated at the 95% confidence level.
    • However, when presented graphically, confidence intervals can be shown at several confidence levels (for example, 50%, 95% and 99%).
  • Tissues in Levels of Organization

    • The human body is organized at several levels of scale that can each be examined.
    • The human body has many levels of structural organization.
    • The simplest level is the chemical level, which includes tiny building blocks such as atoms.
    • The next level is the organ system level.
    • List the various levels of structural organization that make up the human body
