The UN— “A More Perfect Union?”
Considering the readings, video presentations, and your own research, draft a quality 6–7-page research paper on the role, legitimacy, and authority of the UN according to the following prompts, answering in a separate or integrated manner as you wish.
Identify at least 3reasons that states might defend the intrinsic legitimacy of the UN as a governing authority. In reverse, identify at least 3reasons that states might criticize its legitimacy and authority.
In short, make an argument for the limits and possibilities of the UN as a legitimate governing authority in a world of sovereign states.
What is the relationship of the UN to the current international system of states?
Considering the reasons for the creation of the UN after WWII, does it seem driven by political necessity or the political utility? In plainer English, do states need the UN more than the UN needs the states? Or do states both large and small find the UN a useful tool for improving their relative power and legitimacy vis-à-vis other states and global institutions? Is there some position in-between?
Using other sources and extra-Scholar sources (The commentaries, teachings, other writings, etc.) to inform your own reasoning, comment on the compatibility with the idea of
World Government

Attention
: The Instructor does not view the question as rhetorical, nor the answer self-evident. So, reason carefully.] For example, if the logic of collective action under the
Articles of Confederation
—the logic of state sovereignty—failed to secure American liberties as well as the ‘more perfect union’, the new Constitution established by the Framers in 1787 to replace it, effectively requiring states to cede sovereignty to a larger collective authority, why would the same logic of collective action not justify the UN as a ‘more perfect union’ to replace an anarchic system of sovereign states putting the world at risk in a nuclear age?

Discussion 6: Review of Four Indiana State Policies
In Chapter 9, St. John, Daun-Barnett, and Moronski-Chapman (2013) discuss four state policies in Indiana, which ensure low-income students have better chances of getting higher education opportunities. These state policies are the 21st Century Scholars (TFCS) program, Core 40, Indiana Project on Academic Success (IPAS), and the DREAM Act Bill. The State of Indiana and tuition facilitates the financing of these policies. Specifically, funding is attained through need-based student aid and public tuition charges. This coordination ensures that neither the parents nor the state is overwhelmed with funding the learners. Higher education institutions play a limited role in supporting these four state policies. These policies rely on financial incentives for students, colleges, and schools. Higher education systems play a tiny part in offering support services to students in this regard. Nevertheless, they have tried to implement retention projects through policies such as IPAS.
Regarding the outcome of these policies, for starters, they have improved academic preparation among students in high school. These students are better prepared to succeed in higher learning institutions. However, despite the academic preparation facilitated by the policies, there have been no notable improvements in high school graduation rates among the different racial/ethnic groups. Nevertheless, the SAT scores in Indiana have been considerably better compared to other states in the country (St. John, Daun-Barnett, & Moronski-Chapman, 2013). Also, degree completion, college access, and diversity have been remarkably good in Indiana due to these policies. Out of the four policies, the one that I feel has had the greatest success in eradicating inequalities, supporting students’ progress, and enhancing learners’ access to higher education is the TFCS program. This program not only funds needy students but also prepares them from an early age to be model citizens who do not engage in vices such as drug abuse. It guides both parents and students to take practices that will facilitate good learning outcomes.

In higher education financing a student’s tuition is a critical part of enrollment and admissions.

Chapter Review
Appendix A Laws and Corporate Governance Changes Following the Sarbanes-
Oxley Act
As described in the chapter, the period 2001–2003 marked the discovery of some of the
largest financial statement frauds in U.S. history and some of the most significant legislation
regarding the auditing profession and corporate governance since the 1933–1934 SEC
acts. These events followed a very prosperous decade that saw the NASDAQ grow 10
percent per year from 1987 to 1995 and then from an index of 1,291 on January 1, 1997 to
5,049 on March 10, 2000 for a 391 percent increase in three years. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average, while not quite so dramatic, rose from 6,448 on January 1, 1997 to a
high of 11,723 on January 14, 2000 for an increase of 81 percent in three years. Much of
this growth came from individual investors who found they could invest on the Internet by
paying only small fees ($8 to $10 per trade).
When the first financial statement frauds, including Enron and WorldCom, were revealed,
there was near panic in the market. The NASDAQ fell from its high of 5,049 on March 10 to
1,114 on October 9, 2002, leaving it at only 22 percent of its peak value. Similarly, the Dow
Jones Industrial Average (NYSE) fell from its high of 11,723 on January 15, 2000 to a low of
7,286 on October 9, 2002, leaving it at only 62 percent of its previous value. The total
decline in worldwide stock markets was $15 trillion. These sharp declines meant that nearly
everyone’s 401(k) and other retirement plans and personal wealth suffered tremendous
losses. Worse yet, several well-known companies that were involved in financial statement
fraud declared bankruptcy. At the time when the Sarbanes-Oxley Act was passed in July
2002, many of the companies that were found to have committed fraud around this time
period were among the largest bankruptcies in U.S. history, including WorldCom (largest),
Enron (second largest), Global Crossing (fifth largest), and Adelphia (seventh largest).
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act
Because of the pressure brought by constituents, Congress was quick to act. On July 30,
2002, President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which had been quickly
passed by both the House and the Senate. The law was intended to bolster public
confidence in U.S. capital markets and impose new duties and significant penalties for
noncompliance on public companies and their executives, directors, auditors, attorneys, and
securities analysts.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act is comprised of 11 separate sections or titles. You can read the full

Patient Intake
• 44-year-old woman with a chief complaint of anxiety
Psychiatric History
• The patient had onset of anxiety and depression at about age 15, which
she began self-medicating with alcohol
• After graduating from high school, she began college and was about to
leave for study abroad when she experienced a panic attack for which
she was treated in the emergency room
• She was then hospitalized and treated for alcohol abuse at age 18,
and has remained sober ever since, although she does admit to some
possible alprazolam (Xanax) abuse in 1999 as well as one overdose
with alprazolam
• Her history also includes multiple hospitalizations for major depression
– Age 19 (approximately one year after her release from the hospital
for alcohol abuse) because she became suicidal
– Age 24 due to recurrence of depression
– Age 26 with an overdose following a divorce and recurrence of
depression
– Age 27 due to recurrence of depression
– Age 29 after two miscarriages, with a possible postpartum element
and some discontinuation of her medications at that time to try to
get pregnant
– Age 30 when she received electroconvulsive therapy (ECT): 7
sessions as an inpatient and 23 as an outpatient

5 Establishing Organizational Objectives
iStock/Thinkstock
Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp,
Or what’s a heaven for?
—Robert Browning
Learning Objectives
After reading this chapter, you should be able to do the following:
• Describe the nature of objectives and the important role of—and management by—objectives in an HCO.
• Discuss the characteristics of good objectives.
• Delineate the types of objectives that are included in a strategic plan, and include examples of objectives for
key result areas.
• Provide an example of how to use data from an internal and external environmental analysis to set good
objectives.
• Explain how to perform a periodic review of objectives for measuring progress and making updates
as needed.
Section 5.1The Nature and Role of Objectives
Introduction
An HCO cannot achieve goals if none exist for the organization. Although this idea is quite
simple, many people overlook it. To accomplish anything, an organization must have a clear
understanding of what is to be accomplished. Strategic objectives are the tool by which
organizations define their goals and sketch out a specific road map for achieving them. If we
fail to set specific objectives, we simply waste our time and energy by going in circles. Later,
we look back at what we accomplished and wonder where the time went. Just being busy and
involved in activities does not mean that we are accomplishing what we need to accomplish.
This chapter focuses on the need to establish objectives, the characteristics of good objec-
tives, and the process of writing objectives. After the vision and mission of the HCO have been
defined, and the internal and external analyses completed, relevant objectives are developed
for the strategic plan.
5.1 The Nature and Role of Objectives
Objectives can be defined as clear, concise written statements outlining what is to be accom-
plished in key result areas in a certain time period, in measurable terms. Peter Drucker argues
that “objectives are not fate; they are direction. They are not commands, but they are com-
mitments. They do not determine the future, but they are the means by which the resources
and energies of the operation can be mobilized for the making of the future” (Drucker, 1954,
p. 102).
As noted in Chapter 2, the words key results, goals, and targets often are used synonymously
when talking about short- and long-term objectives. Whatever the label used, the idea is to
focus on a specific set of target activities and outcomes to be accomplished. Think of the anal-
ogy of the archer used in Chapter 2. An HCO administrator wants the whole organization
aimed at a single target, just as an archer wants every arrow aimed at the bull’s-eye. People
get confused and disorganized if they do not know where they are going. In large measure,
the success or failure of an HCO is based on its ability to set goals, as well as on tools with
which to measure progress toward those.

intrOductiOn
BlueCross and BlueShield plans are perhaps the best known medical insurance pro-
grams in the United States. They began as two separate prepaid health plans selling
contracts to individuals or groups for coverage of specified medical expenses as
long as the premiums were paid. BCBS offer a number of products to subscribers.
History of Bluecross and BluesHield
Origin of BlueCross
The forerunner of what is known today as the BlueCross plan began in 1929
when Baylor University Hospital in Dallas, Texas, approached teachers in the
Dallas school district with a plan that would guarantee up to 21 days of hospi-
talization per year for subscribers and each of their dependents, in exchange
for a $6 annual premium. This prepaid health plan was accepted by the teachers
and worked so well that the concept soon spread across the country. Early
plans specified which hospital subscribers and their dependents could use f.

Provide a substantive response to at least two of your peers who presented an example that was not in your response. What did you learn from the examples they presented? Are you now more aware of the challenge of change in health care?
Peer 1.Keneisha
- In health care, the consistency of handling change is constant. Change is an effect of snowball within a healthcare facility. Improvement in one area may or may not impact another establishment area irrespective of the correlations. Eventually, change affects the whole organization.
Electronic health records (EHR) and the Health Insurance Probability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) are two indicators of the healthcare industry. Although many resisted the change within the medical records and implemented EHR, the change made life much easier to navigate through with medical records. The move saved money and didn't have to use as many paper products. EHR made chart access and legibility much faster and easier to navigate through.
Within the change, HIPAA was a little more complex. HIPPA has been introduced to allow an individual to change jobs and not to complicate the coverage of the modified work transaction. HIPAA is meant to protect the protection of patient information and not to be widely distributed. This also included training in patient privacy and security issues for each health care staff members.
Reflecting on these two improvements show that once change is introduced, it can result in substantial change for the better and development of both staff and patients. Both need an open attitude and training, but implement a productive workflow.
Peer 2. Qiana
- Change is not always easy for anyone, and those in the healthcare field. Though change can be good because it can change or make the healthcare delivery systems better and meet those needs of their area. The healthcare environment continues to change and can be a challenge. With changing trends and concerns within healthcare settings, they can show the stages of life cycles within the organization and survival strategies. When rends change, there are changes that occur in case of patients and administrative support. (Liebler & McConnell, 2017). To ensure the survival of any organization change is essential to have a competitive edge in the healthcare environment. Often, for staff managers must be leaders during this process and try to make these changes go smoothly, because it can be difficult for employees.
Healthcare managers must be able to manage change, even though it may be complicated. Being able to manage change can be difficult but all involved must be able to adapt, and it is the job of the manager to inform employees as well as constituents and help them to understand why the change is a necessity and their roles even though it may be difficult.
The two examples of successful change I have chosen are Change as Opportunity: Y2K and A Study in Proactive Change: Electronic Health Records. The trn of the year 2.

430 Chapter 17 Death and Dying
Case 17-1
When Parents Refuse to Give Up1
Nine-year-old Yusef Camp began experiencing symptoms soon after eating a pickle bought
from a street vendor. He felt dizzy and fell down, he could not use his legs, and he began
to scream. By 10:00 p.m., he was hallucinating and was transported to the DC General
Hospital by ambulance. He went into convulsions. His stomach was pumped, and they
found traces of marijuana and possibly PCP. He soon stopped breathing, and by the next
morning, brain scans showed no activity.
Four months later, Yusef’s condition had not changed. The physicians believed his brain
was not functioning and wanted to pronounce him dead based on brain criteria. Several
difficulties were encountered, however. First, there was some disagreement among the
medical personnel over whether his brain function had ceased completely. Second, at that
time the District of Columbia had no law authorizing death pronouncement based on
brain criteria. It was not clear that physicians could use death as grounds for stopping
treatment. Most important, Ronald Camp, the boy’s father, protested vigorously any sug-
gestion that treatment be stopped. A devout Muslim, he said, “I could walk up and say
unplug him; but for the rest of my life I would be thinking, was I too hasty? Could he have
recovered if I had given it another 6 months or a year? I’m leaving it in Almighty God’s
hand to let it take whatever flow it will.”
The nurses involved in Yusef’s care faced several problems. Maggots were found
growing in Yusef’s lungs and nasal passages. His right foot and ankle became gangre-
nous. He showed no response to noises or painful stimuli. The nurses had the responsi-
bility not only for maintaining the respiratory tract and the gangrenous limb, but also for
providing the intensive nursing care needed to maintain Yusef in debilitated condition
on life support systems. Had the aggressive care been serving any purpose, they would
have been willing to provide it no matter how repulsive the boy’s condition was and in
spite of there being many other patients desperately needing their attention. However,
some of the nurses caring for Yusef were convinced that they were doing no good what-
soever for the boy. They believed they were only consuming enormous amounts of time
and hospital resources in what appeared to be a futile effort. In the process, other
patients were not getting as much care as would certainly be of benefit to them. Could
the nurses or the physicians argue that care should be stopped because he was dead?
Could they overrule the parents’ judgment about the usefulness of the treatment even
if he were not dead? Could they legitimately take into account the welfare of the other
patients and the enormous costs involved when deciding whether to limit their atten-
tion to Yusef?

The most important thing in this thesis is to define each variable in the conceptual model. The culture differences (I use Hofstede as the model, you have to continue with that), the educational level find some articles to define that. These two independent variables can influence the dependent variable by a mediation. You also need to define the dependent variable and the mediation.

404 Part II • Predictive Analytics/Machine Learning
Another security-related application of text mining is in the area of deception
detection. Applying text mining to a large set of real-world criminal (person-of-interest)
statements, Fuller, Biros, and Delen (2008) developed prediction models to differentiate
deceptive statements from truthful ones. Using a rich set of cues extracted from textual state-
ments, the model predicted the holdout samples with 70 percent accuracy, which is believed
to be a significant success considering that the cues are extracted only from textual state-
ments (no verbal or visual cues are present). Furthermore, compared to other deception-
detection techniques, such as polygraphs, this method is nonintrusive and widely applicable
to not only textual data but also (potentially) transcriptions of voice recordings. A more
detailed description of text-based deception detection is provided in Application Case 7.3.
Biomedical Applications
Text mining holds great potential for the medical field in general and biomedicine in
particular for several reasons. First, published literature and publication outlets (especially
with the advent of the open source journals) in the field are expanding at an exponential
rate. Second, compared to most other fields, medical literature is more standardized and
orderly, making it a more “minable” information source. Finally, the terminology used in
Driven by advancements in Web-based informa-
tion technologies and increasing globalization,
computer-mediated communication continues to fil-
ter into everyday life, bringing with it new venues
for deception. The volume of text-based chat, instant
messaging, text messaging, and text generated by
online communities of practice is increasing rapidly.
Even the use of e-mail continues to increase. With
the massive growth of text-based communication,
the potential for people to deceive others through
computer-mediated communication has also grown,
and such deception can have disastrous results.
Unfortunately, in general, humans tend to
perform poorly at deception-detection tasks. This
phenomenon is exacerbated in text-based commu-
nications. A large part of the research on deception
detection (also known as credibility assessment) has
involved face-to-face meetings and interviews. Yet
with the growth of text-based communication, text-
based deception-detection techniques are essential.
Techniques for successfully detecting
deception—that is, lies—have wide applicability. Law
enforcement can use decision support tools and tech-
niques to investigate crimes, conduct security screening
in airports, and monitor communications of suspected
terrorists. Human resources professionals might use
deception-detection tools to screen applicants. These
tools and techniques also have the potential to screen
e-mails to uncover fraud or other wrongdoings com-
mitted by corporate officers. Although some people
believe.

Most people have a blend of leadership styles that they use. Some leaders are more flexible in applying a wide range of leadership styles, whereas others are more consistent and generally use just one or two preferred behaviors. Consider if two strong individuals begin a new company and discuss the following:
If two diverse individuals, each having a different leadership style, were tasked with effectively co-leading an organization, what potential conflicts might occur between these different leadership styles?
How will their personal leadership styles influence the organizational culture?
How would you recommend that these two leaders work together most effectively?

Patient Intake
• 44-year-old woman with a chief complaint of anxiety
Psychiatric History
• The patient had onset of anxiety and depression at about age 15, which
she began self-medicating with alcohol
• After graduating from high school, she began college and was about to
leave for study abroad when she experienced a panic attack for which
she was treated in the emergency room
• She was then hospitalized and treated for alcohol abuse at age 18,
and has remained sober ever since, although she does admit to some
possible alprazolam (Xanax) abuse in 1999 as well as one overdose
with alprazolam
• Her history also includes multiple hospitalizations for major depression
– Age 19 (approximately one year after her release from the hospital
for alcohol abuse) because she became suicidal
– Age 24 due to recurrence of depression
– Age 26 with an overdose following a divorce and recurrence of
depression
– Age 27 due to recurrence of depression
– Age 29 after two miscarriages, with a possible postpartum element
and some discontinuation of her medications at that time to try to
get pregnant
– Age 30 when she received electroconvulsive therapy (ECT): 7
sessions as an inpatient and 23 as an outpatient

5 Establishing Organizational Objectives
iStock/Thinkstock
Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp,
Or what’s a heaven for?
—Robert Browning
Learning Objectives
After reading this chapter, you should be able to do the following:
• Describe the nature of objectives and the important role of—and management by—objectives in an HCO.
• Discuss the characteristics of good objectives.
• Delineate the types of objectives that are included in a strategic plan, and include examples of objectives for
key result areas.
• Provide an example of how to use data from an internal and external environmental analysis to set good
objectives.
• Explain how to perform a periodic review of objectives for measuring progress and making updates
as needed.
Section 5.1The Nature and Role of Objectives
Introduction
An HCO cannot achieve goals if none exist for the organization. Although this idea is quite
simple, many people overlook it. To accomplish anything, an organization must have a clear
understanding of what is to be accomplished. Strategic objectives are the tool by which
organizations define their goals and sketch out a specific road map for achieving them. If we
fail to set specific objectives, we simply waste our time and energy by going in circles. Later,
we look back at what we accomplished and wonder where the time went. Just being busy and
involved in activities does not mean that we are accomplishing what we need to accomplish.
This chapter focuses on the need to establish objectives, the characteristics of good objec-
tives, and the process of writing objectives. After the vision and mission of the HCO have been
defined, and the internal and external analyses completed, relevant objectives are developed
for the strategic plan.
5.1 The Nature and Role of Objectives
Objectives can be defined as clear, concise written statements outlining what is to be accom-
plished in key result areas in a certain time period, in measurable terms. Peter Drucker argues
that “objectives are not fate; they are direction. They are not commands, but they are com-
mitments. They do not determine the future, but they are the means by which the resources
and energies of the operation can be mobilized for the making of the future” (Drucker, 1954,
p. 102).
As noted in Chapter 2, the words key results, goals, and targets often are used synonymously
when talking about short- and long-term objectives. Whatever the label used, the idea is to
focus on a specific set of target activities and outcomes to be accomplished. Think of the anal-
ogy of the archer used in Chapter 2. An HCO administrator wants the whole organization
aimed at a single target, just as an archer wants every arrow aimed at the bull’s-eye. People
get confused and disorganized if they do not know where they are going. In large measure,
the success or failure of an HCO is based on its ability to set goals, as well as on tools with
which to measure progress toward those.

intrOductiOn
BlueCross and BlueShield plans are perhaps the best known medical insurance pro-
grams in the United States. They began as two separate prepaid health plans selling
contracts to individuals or groups for coverage of specified medical expenses as
long as the premiums were paid. BCBS offer a number of products to subscribers.
History of Bluecross and BluesHield
Origin of BlueCross
The forerunner of what is known today as the BlueCross plan began in 1929
when Baylor University Hospital in Dallas, Texas, approached teachers in the
Dallas school district with a plan that would guarantee up to 21 days of hospi-
talization per year for subscribers and each of their dependents, in exchange
for a $6 annual premium. This prepaid health plan was accepted by the teachers
and worked so well that the concept soon spread across the country. Early
plans specified which hospital subscribers and their dependents could use f.

Provide a substantive response to at least two of your peers who presented an example that was not in your response. What did you learn from the examples they presented? Are you now more aware of the challenge of change in health care?
Peer 1.Keneisha
- In health care, the consistency of handling change is constant. Change is an effect of snowball within a healthcare facility. Improvement in one area may or may not impact another establishment area irrespective of the correlations. Eventually, change affects the whole organization.
Electronic health records (EHR) and the Health Insurance Probability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) are two indicators of the healthcare industry. Although many resisted the change within the medical records and implemented EHR, the change made life much easier to navigate through with medical records. The move saved money and didn't have to use as many paper products. EHR made chart access and legibility much faster and easier to navigate through.
Within the change, HIPAA was a little more complex. HIPPA has been introduced to allow an individual to change jobs and not to complicate the coverage of the modified work transaction. HIPAA is meant to protect the protection of patient information and not to be widely distributed. This also included training in patient privacy and security issues for each health care staff members.
Reflecting on these two improvements show that once change is introduced, it can result in substantial change for the better and development of both staff and patients. Both need an open attitude and training, but implement a productive workflow.
Peer 2. Qiana
- Change is not always easy for anyone, and those in the healthcare field. Though change can be good because it can change or make the healthcare delivery systems better and meet those needs of their area. The healthcare environment continues to change and can be a challenge. With changing trends and concerns within healthcare settings, they can show the stages of life cycles within the organization and survival strategies. When rends change, there are changes that occur in case of patients and administrative support. (Liebler & McConnell, 2017). To ensure the survival of any organization change is essential to have a competitive edge in the healthcare environment. Often, for staff managers must be leaders during this process and try to make these changes go smoothly, because it can be difficult for employees.
Healthcare managers must be able to manage change, even though it may be complicated. Being able to manage change can be difficult but all involved must be able to adapt, and it is the job of the manager to inform employees as well as constituents and help them to understand why the change is a necessity and their roles even though it may be difficult.
The two examples of successful change I have chosen are Change as Opportunity: Y2K and A Study in Proactive Change: Electronic Health Records. The trn of the year 2.

430 Chapter 17 Death and Dying
Case 17-1
When Parents Refuse to Give Up1
Nine-year-old Yusef Camp began experiencing symptoms soon after eating a pickle bought
from a street vendor. He felt dizzy and fell down, he could not use his legs, and he began
to scream. By 10:00 p.m., he was hallucinating and was transported to the DC General
Hospital by ambulance. He went into convulsions. His stomach was pumped, and they
found traces of marijuana and possibly PCP. He soon stopped breathing, and by the next
morning, brain scans showed no activity.
Four months later, Yusef’s condition had not changed. The physicians believed his brain
was not functioning and wanted to pronounce him dead based on brain criteria. Several
difficulties were encountered, however. First, there was some disagreement among the
medical personnel over whether his brain function had ceased completely. Second, at that
time the District of Columbia had no law authorizing death pronouncement based on
brain criteria. It was not clear that physicians could use death as grounds for stopping
treatment. Most important, Ronald Camp, the boy’s father, protested vigorously any sug-
gestion that treatment be stopped. A devout Muslim, he said, “I could walk up and say
unplug him; but for the rest of my life I would be thinking, was I too hasty? Could he have
recovered if I had given it another 6 months or a year? I’m leaving it in Almighty God’s
hand to let it take whatever flow it will.”
The nurses involved in Yusef’s care faced several problems. Maggots were found
growing in Yusef’s lungs and nasal passages. His right foot and ankle became gangre-
nous. He showed no response to noises or painful stimuli. The nurses had the responsi-
bility not only for maintaining the respiratory tract and the gangrenous limb, but also for
providing the intensive nursing care needed to maintain Yusef in debilitated condition
on life support systems. Had the aggressive care been serving any purpose, they would
have been willing to provide it no matter how repulsive the boy’s condition was and in
spite of there being many other patients desperately needing their attention. However,
some of the nurses caring for Yusef were convinced that they were doing no good what-
soever for the boy. They believed they were only consuming enormous amounts of time
and hospital resources in what appeared to be a futile effort. In the process, other
patients were not getting as much care as would certainly be of benefit to them. Could
the nurses or the physicians argue that care should be stopped because he was dead?
Could they overrule the parents’ judgment about the usefulness of the treatment even
if he were not dead? Could they legitimately take into account the welfare of the other
patients and the enormous costs involved when deciding whether to limit their atten-
tion to Yusef?

4000 words
The most important thing in this thesis is to define each variable in the conceptual model. The culture differences (I use Hofstede as the model, you have to continue with that), the educational level find some articles to define that. These two independent variables can influence the dependent variable by a mediation. You also need to define the dependent variable and the mediation.

404 Part II • Predictive Analytics/Machine Learning
Another security-related application of text mining is in the area of deception
detection. Applying text mining to a large set of real-world criminal (person-of-interest)
statements, Fuller, Biros, and Delen (2008) developed prediction models to differentiate
deceptive statements from truthful ones. Using a rich set of cues extracted from textual state-
ments, the model predicted the holdout samples with 70 percent accuracy, which is believed
to be a significant success considering that the cues are extracted only from textual state-
ments (no verbal or visual cues are present). Furthermore, compared to other deception-
detection techniques, such as polygraphs, this method is nonintrusive and widely applicable
to not only textual data but also (potentially) transcriptions of voice recordings. A more
detailed description of text-based deception detection is provided in Application Case 7.3.
Biomedical Applications
Text mining holds great potential for the medical field in general and biomedicine in
particular for several reasons. First, published literature and publication outlets (especially
with the advent of the open source journals) in the field are expanding at an exponential
rate. Second, compared to most other fields, medical literature is more standardized and
orderly, making it a more “minable” information source. Finally, the terminology used in
Driven by advancements in Web-based informa-
tion technologies and increasing globalization,
computer-mediated communication continues to fil-
ter into everyday life, bringing with it new venues
for deception. The volume of text-based chat, instant
messaging, text messaging, and text generated by
online communities of practice is increasing rapidly.
Even the use of e-mail continues to increase. With
the massive growth of text-based communication,
the potential for people to deceive others through
computer-mediated communication has also grown,
and such deception can have disastrous results.
Unfortunately, in general, humans tend to
perform poorly at deception-detection tasks. This
phenomenon is exacerbated in text-based commu-
nications. A large part of the research on deception
detection (also known as credibility assessment) has
involved face-to-face meetings and interviews. Yet
with the growth of text-based communication, text-
based deception-detection techniques are essential.
Techniques for successfully detecting
deception—that is, lies—have wide applicability. Law
enforcement can use decision support tools and tech-
niques to investigate crimes, conduct security screening
in airports, and monitor communications of suspected
terrorists. Human resources professionals might use
deception-detection tools to screen applicants. These
tools and techniques also have the potential to screen
e-mails to uncover fraud or other wrongdoings com-
mitted by corporate officers. Although some people
believe.

400 Words / No Plagiarism
Most people have a blend of leadership styles that they use. Some leaders are more flexible in applying a wide range of leadership styles, whereas others are more consistent and generally use just one or two preferred behaviors. Consider if two strong individuals begin a new company and discuss the following:
If two diverse individuals, each having a different leadership style, were tasked with effectively co-leading an organization, what potential conflicts might occur between these different leadership styles?
How will their personal leadership styles influence the organizational culture?
How would you recommend that these two leaders work together most effectively?
