Impact of Early Use of Technology on Child Development
The topic of child development got selected due to its expansive nature and capability of connecting to current societal constructs. Technology usage has become more advanced in society due to its impact on child development. There are positive and negative effects of children's early use of technology. Technology has constant, reliable outcomes since children aged 2-5 can access information in a simplified method. Families of children in the age group can attain the required development by using online infographics, videos, and pictures to display various information for their children. Infographics are a reliable data-sharing tool since they can integrate images, diverse colors, motions, and sorting operations that correlate user data to ensure an expansive data improvement process. Different software types assist children in learning, like websites and mobile applications. Parents and teachers can install the software on tablets which are standard tools to support children's attention and free time.
Research on harmful technology use by children indicates that children are often exposed to unhealthy food consumption, body image dissatisfaction, and inappropriate behavioral adaptation when they use technology without monitoring (Ricci et al., 2022). Too much technology usage can affect children's attention span since they become fixated on their digital lives, which causes them to miss out on their immediate physical environment (Mustafaoğlu et al., 2018). Parents must develop objectives for managing technology usage by children so that there shall be an appropriate development structure. The goals include the development of a plan for all device usage, setting time limits, and screen time should constantly get monitored, having enough technical knowledge, and restricting inappropriate websites. All these methods facilitate proper improvement of technology usage since it is possible to ensure regulations get integrated for indispensable technological interactions
Objectives:
1)
Present ways to parents how they can implement healthy technology use at home
2)
Explain the pros and cons of young children using technology at an early age
3)
Promote how technology is used in schools to ensure constant learning
4)
Explain the outcome that technology has on early brain development
5)
Display an online infographic blog discussing early technology use and ways to safely implement it into kids lives

You are facing a lot of human errors in your organization and you want to improve the performance of your team. Use this new and systemic approach to define a successful action plan.
In the fast-changing world of corporate recruiting, it’s important to be aware of and prepared for the problems and opportunities that you will soon face. In short, because it’s “better to be prepared than surprised”, both recruiting and hiring managers must find a way to be “proactive” in planning for these upcoming events, rather than being “reactive”. The most effective way to identify trends and to predict upcoming recruiting issues is through the use of analytics and predictive metrics This advanced webinar will be led by long time ERE.net author and global metrics expert Dr. John Sullivan. He will guide you through the goals, the action steps and the best emerging corporate practices in predictive recruiting metrics.
How to Create a Big Data Culture in PharmaChris Waller
A talk presented at the Big Data and Analytics conference in Boston on January 28, 2014. Emphasis on data and information sharing cultures in companies.

Paper One
Length : 1000- 1200 words/ 3.5-4 pages, exclusive of the Work Cited page
For your first paper, you’ll be analyzing impediments to your own critical thinking and how they shaped your decision making in a specific decision in your life.
First, think back to a decision you’ve made that you either now see as a bad decision or that you’re still not fully sure you thought through critically. It doesn’t have to be a super-personal decision (why did I date that girl for so long in high school?), and it can even be a decision that’s had a good outcome (why did I choose this university?), as long as you can express how you didn’t really think critically about it at the time .
Elements of Reasoning : For prewriting purposes, go around the circle of elements with this decision as you made it then , paying close attention to who you were when you made it (your Point of View). You’ll want to use these notes as you describe your decision-making process and put any elements of reasoning in bold in your paper. Plan to use between 3-5 elements of reasoning in your paper.
Impediments : Finally, think about what types of impediments got in your way as you made this decision. Develop paragraphs in your paper around these impediments and put them in bold type in your paper as well. Your thesis statement should say something about how the impediments that blocked your critical thinking interacted with the elements of reasoning to keep you from using them effectively.
Because all papers in CRTW must include documented material, make sure you quote Nosich at least once when talking about at least one impediment that hindered your critical thinking. You'll then need to give the page number in MLA format in your paper and create a Works Cited page with Nosich's book on it at the end of your paper.
Hints:
1. Don’t be afraid to use the first person “I.†This is a paper about you and your thinking.
2. You can tell this as a story if you’d like, so long as it’s clear that you’re analyzing your own thinking and which impediments and elements of reasoning were (or weren’t) involved.
3. Whether you tell this as a story or write it as a more formal academic paper, your introduction should give some context to your decision: when was it, what was it, and why did you need to make it?
4. In your conclusion, rather than repeating what you’ve already said in the introduction and body of the paper, please try to reflect on what you’ve learned from analyzing this decision and/or making the decision in the first place. What might you do differently in the future? How might you approach the same impediment(s) if you feel them creeping into your thought process in future decisions?

The Difference between Data and Information
Introduction
Most of the individuals have the belief that the term information and data are interchangeable and have the same meaning. Nevertheless, there exists a unique difference between the two terms. Data can refer to any character, word, text, or number and if it is not placed into context, doesn't mean anything or means very little to humans. Information may be in its context a data which is formatted in such a way allowing it to be used by people in certain vital situations. Understanding the differences between data and information is essential because it helps to eradicate the apparent confusion brought about by the application of the two terms in organizations and other relevant professions.
Data
Data refers to the grouping of details and facts such as figures, texts, symbols, observations, or merely descriptions of certain things, entities or events collected with the aim of creating inferences. It represents the raw facts which require processing to obtain the information which needed for action to be taken upon a given situation (Silverman, 2018). It is mostly known to entail such things as characters and statements, as well as numbers before undergoing refining by the individual involved in its extraction who in this case is known as the researcher.
The word data is derived from the Latin word called datum which means something given. Data is therefore offered and provided by individuals involved in the survey process. Its concept is thus linked to the scientific research which included a collection of data and analysis before interpreting it to come up with the exact information regarding a given situation (Silverman, 2018). It is often gathered by several organizations, institutions, government departments as well as non-governmental agencies and bodies for various distinct reasons. Data exists in two major forms namely primary and secondary data.
Primary data is that data which is gathered by researchers from .
[Case Study] Physician, Know Thy User: Using Personas to Target Content and U...Scott Abel
Presented by Joe Sokohl at Documentation and Training Life Sciences, June 23-26, 208 in Indianapolis.
Ever have a project fail? You met with your project team, you talked with the customer, you reviewed technical requirements. But did you talk to your users? Just as one diagnosis doesn’t fit all patients, one application’s approach doesn’t work for all users. Know who accesses your information and uses your applications. Only then choose your features. Using a case study of a multinational project covering four countries, 10 business units, and tens of thousands of content elements, we’ll explore personas, scenarios, and other user-centered techniques. We’ll look at identifying users as well as segregating content according to users and regulatory needs.
What was involved in this cases study?
First we analyzed the 10 business units and their approaches and definitions of business goals. Next we analyzed industry standards for medical devices and their usage.
But that wasn’t enough. We interviewed 40 people in 4 countries, and created an information architecture prototype. We then tested this prototype in hospitals, doctors’ offices, and on site where medical devices were in use.
Based on this contextual inquiry, we refined the architecture and our understanding of the users. Decisions were then made on what type of content would be both appropriate and legal for each user and in each country.
Only with a solid understanding of the users and their goals could we define a flexible, extensible, and usable information and content architecture.

Week 2 in Review
An examination of Trilogy provided insight into the complexities of various approaches to recruitment -- and the importance of incorporating recruitment into organizational strategies. From an HR perspective, the strategy involves many intra-related and inter-related aspects, such as job description, job analysis, recruitment methodologies, legal requirements, and a planned and cultivated organizational culture. It is all about Hiring Right! It is all about aligning organizational goals with individual goals to arrive at a place where work effort matches work productivity. Culture is the environment people work in, it’s the element that shapes your enjoyment, work relationship and work process. Culture is made up of values, beliefs, underlying assumptions, attitudes, and behaviors shared by a group of people (Heathfield, 2011). The employees at Trilogy all share similar interests and passions about their job, which means that working as a team would not be problematic. Trilogy has created an organizational culture that represents decision making, daily work practice, stories and legends.

Week 2 in Review
An examination of Trilogy provided insight into the complexities of various approaches to recruitment -- and the importance of incorporating recruitment into organizational strategies. From an HR perspective, the strategy involves many intra-related and inter-related aspects, such as job description, job analysis, recruitment methodologies, legal requirements, and a planned and cultivated organizational culture. It is all about Hiring Right! It is all about aligning organizational goals with individual goals to arrive at a place where work effort matches work productivity. Culture is the environment people work in, it’s the element that shapes your enjoyment, work relationship and work process. Culture is made up of values, beliefs, underlying assumptions, attitudes, and behaviors shared by a group of people (Heathfield, 2011). The employees at Trilogy all share similar interests and passions about their job, which means that working as a team would not be problematic. Trilogy has created an organizational culture that represents decision making, daily work practice, stories and legends.

A number of indexing connector protocols are installed by default in SharePoint Server 2010, whereas other content sources require a different indexing connector and protocol which needs to be installed and configured separately. All file types are crawled unless explicitly excluded. A number of file types with little relevance to search are excluded by default. You can find the file types that are excluded by default in the article IFilter and file type reference (FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint) . While most file types are crawled by default, FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint only provides filters for content and metadata extraction of a subset of them. The supported file types are listed in the article IFilter and file type reference (FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint) . To extract content and metadata from additional crawled file types requires that you enable the Advanced Filter Pack or register a third-party IFilter .

“ This explains why search tools are limited in what they're capable of doing in spite of the vendor sales pitch ("our search tool 'understands' your query", at least for the foreseeable future or until "Watson" becomes feasible in the workplace, and why search is an iterative process. The user is providing the intelligence, not the system.” Personal Communication, May 2011 -- PAUL E.

Also, leveraging end-user data (views, downloads, roles, responsibilities, functional area, etc.) to increase likelihood of "knowing" user preferences, then serve up recommendations, see also's, etc.) The Association for Computing Machinery 's Special Interest Group on Information Retrieval description re: role of Faceted Search (2006 workshop): The web search world, since its very beginning, has offered two paradigms: Navigational search uses a hierarchy structure (taxonomy) to enable users to browse the information space by iteratively narrowing the scope of their quest in a predetermined order, as exemplified by Yahoo! Directory , DMOZ , etc. Direct search allows users to simply write their queries as a bag of words in a text box. This approach has been made enormously popular by Web search engines . Over the last few years, the direct search paradigm has gained dominance and the navigational approach became less and less popular. Recently a new approach has emerged, combining both paradigms, namely the faceted search approach. Faceted search enables users to navigate a multi-dimensional information space by combining text search with a progressive narrowing of choices in each dimension. It has become the prevailing user interaction mechanism in e-commerce sites and is being extended to deal with semi-structured data , continuous dimensions, and folksonomies .

Faceted navigation is a must to support browsing, the "dialogue" between the user and the system. Terminology must make sense to the end-user, so language should adapt to the way end-user views the world, not the other way around. Address relevance, even though this is a tricky thing. End-user must have confidence that your system does a credible job of providing content in an order based upon what the end-user means, not what the end-user says (types) [difficult to build into the KM system] .
