ORAL DATA COLLECTION PROTOCAL
Instructions:
(1) Informing your Participant:
When an individual is approached to be interviewed, either with or without electronic recording, it is important that you explain to them very clearly who you are, what the project is about, why you are doing it, what risks it poses to them, who will benefit, and what will become of the materials. This makes for “informed consent,” meaning they truly understand what they are getting involved in. You can read the materials to them, and you may also give them the option of reading the description themselves.
(2) The Agreement to Interview Form
The Agreement to Interview form is a very good and appropriate way to insure that your participants know what they are getting into. After you have read the project description to them, and explained clearly what the project is about, why you are doing it, and what will become of the interviews and other materials.
You may then, if you feel it’s appropriate, ask them to sign the Agreement to Interview form, and give them a copy. Keep the other copy in a safe place.
Alternatively, you can obtain their consent “on tape,” in the actual interview.
(3) Final Consent Form
(a) Draft Review: Before obtaining final consent, it is absolutely essential that the participants be given the opportunity to look over any final product(s) that you produce from the interviews, and they should have the opportunity to request changes (which you should then make). Remember, this is their words you are using, and those words are their intellectual property. It is important that you respect their requests to have their words read as they want them to.
The final consent form is designed so that you can get their signature in advance, providing that you will make the changes that they request. They may also want a family member or other third party to edit their materials, and the form also allows for this.
(b) Final Consent: this form allows you to go ahead and publish their words in whatever form is appropriate to your project. Note that there are also places where they can choose to be identified. If they do not sign these, but request to remain anonymous, you must respect that and protect their identities from being released.

Develop a Security Standards, Policies, and Procedures Manual using this template with recommendations to management of security standards, polices, and procedures which should be implemented in your organization.UPMC Hospital
Overview
Explain the importance to your organization of implementing security policies, plans, and procedures. Discuss how security policies, plans, and procedures will improve the overall security of the organization.
Security policies for UPMC Hospital are a critical part of maintaining compliance with health standards and regulations, such as HIPAA. A security plan will improve the overall security of the hospital by having a written documentation containing protocols for maintaining a secure network, protecting sensitive patient information, and providing a policy of encryption which will ensure secure data transmissions. Additionally, security plans and procedures assist in implementing a patient tracking system using secured technology to ensure patients are not abducted.
The following policies, standards, and procedures are meant to protect UPMC’s data security environment. These Risk Management Policies also serve as a reference document for employees to ensure a cohesive response is followed by all departments and personnel in the hospital system.
Data Privacy Policies and Procedures
This policy pertains to all hospital and medical personnel who have access to patient/hospital data and information, whether direct or indirect. This policy is meant to protect high-level data and information and prevent those who do not have clearance from accessing the information. This policy also meets the requirements of the Patient Health Information (PHI) requirements as found in the Health Insurance Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). UPMC has adopted this policy to ensure that employees of the hospital are not given too much access to systems where they have no purpose or related duties.
Policy: Least Privilege. Reasonable effort must be taken to ensure PHI is secure and protected when using, accessing, requesting, and disclosing the protected information. Each hospital department must limit access to PHI least amount of access to data of all personnel to ensure they are only allowed to access the least amount needed to complete their job responsibilities.
Data Isolation Policies and Procedures
A data isolation policy will assist the overall security of the UPMC hospital by insuring that the data is secure by instilling a databa.
This document discusses descriptive statistics and research methodology. It provides definitions of key statistical concepts like population, sample, variables. It also describes different methods of collecting data like postal questionnaires, telephone interviews, personal interviews and observation.

Study 5
Agency Description and Research Instrument’s Application
My topic of interest is on figuring out the effectiveness of the juvenile justice system on lowering the delinquency rate, specifically those that undergo legislative waivers. These studies are of more significance as they mainly give extra information concerning the effect of the legislative waivers on juvenile offenders. This gives a viewpoint of ways the device wishes to be changed regarding the identical. Many interview inquiries consist of the program and the service that is offered in an agency. Questions are, what are your responsibilities? Who are the people who receive the services, and how are they connected to the agency? Do you feel the juvenile children are ready to get back to the community and become productive? From your personal experience, have you ever worked with any discharge plan that deals with correction and, was it effective? What are the requirements that one needs to be able to access the services that are offered in the agency? Does the agency that you work for a charge, and if they charge, how much is the charges? Name the common barriers that the clients face and, what are the strategies that you apply to assist them in dealing with these barriers? What time or the duration it takes for the clients to receive the services that they need, and according to you, do you feel it is sufficient? Can you state any policies or laws that restrict the successful ex-offender re-entry back into the community? What do you think will need to be added by the professional to make sure there is successful re-entry back into the community?
The interviewees may be the contributors of the judiciary and teens who are juveniles, and those that are in rehabilitation. The questions will contain principal questions and associated questions that are related to the center question. For the interview facts to be captured more successfully, the interviews may be recorded. This method allows researchers to collect open-end data to explore the respondent’s thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about the topic in question.
Some tips for the on-site system are keeping the surroundings secure and informal; this may encourage the respondents to think the interviewer is interested in communication. Explaining why the interview is important and stressing the advantage of the examination to the respondent is too important. Additionally, it is going to involve the usage of language that the respondent can comperhend. The length of the interview should be brief, and the respondent should be assured that identity is unknown and not discovered (Redding, 2008).
After covering all the relevant subjects, the interview ends. However, the interview can be stopped in advance if the respondent appears to be uncomfortable. It will also be proper to ensure that the interview is carried out in an area that has correct recording situations for an excellent recording to take place.

Supplier Quality Management: Best Practices and Practical Insights in 2015 LI...Thomas LaPointe
Supplier Quality Management (SQM) is becoming an important business practice as more companies are out-sourcing manufacturing, distribution, shipping, and sales across the globe. Aside from the implications of failure to comply with a myriad of regulations, failure of SQM can lead to litigation, added costs, and harmed reputation among other problems such as product adulteration and mis-branding. However, there is a trade-off between managing supplier quality and costs. As such, SQ managers need to be aware of the risks and benefits of the relationship with suppliers as a whole.
Our panel of key thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group will discuss Supplier Quality Management and provide Best Practices and Practical Insights.
Key topics include:
Supplier Quality Management – Overview
Supplier Selection, Evaluation, and Monitoring
Supplier Quality Agreements and Contracts
Cost of Poor Supplier Quality (COPQ)
Quality Management Systems
Cost Recovery and Supplier Audit

My topic of interest is on figuring out the effectiveness of the juvenile justice system on lowering the delinquency rate, specifically those that undergo legislative waivers. These studies are of more significance as they mainly give extra information concerning the effect of the legislative waivers on juvenile offenders. This gives a viewpoint of ways the device wishes to be changed regarding the identical. Many interview inquiries consist of the program and the service that is offered in an agency. Questions are, what are your responsibilities? Who are the people who receive the services, and how are they connected to the agency? Do you feel the juvenile children are ready to get back to the community and become productive? From your personal experience, have you ever worked with any discharge plan that deals with correction and, was it effective? What are the requirements that one needs to be able to access the services that are offered in the agency? Does the agency that you work for a charge, and if they charge, how much is the charges? Name the common barriers that the clients face and, what are the strategies that you apply to assist them in dealing with these barriers? What time or the duration it takes for the clients to receive the services that they need, and according to you, do you feel it is sufficient? Can you state any policies or laws that restrict the successful ex-offender re-entry back into the community? What do you think will need to be added by the professional to make sure there is successful re-entry back into the community?
The interviewees may be the contributors of the judiciary and teens who are juveniles, and those that are in rehabilitation. The questions will contain principal questions and associated questions that are related to the center question. For the interview facts to be captured more successfully, the interviews may be recorded. This method allows researchers to collect open-end data to explore the respondent’s thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about the topic in question.
Some tips for the on-site system are keeping the surroundings secure and informal; this may encourage the respondents to think the interviewer is interested in communication. Explaining why the interview is important and stressing the advantage of the examination to the respondent is too important. Additionally, it is going to involve the usage of language that the respondent can comperhend. The length of the interview should be brief, and the respondent should be assured that identity is unknown and not discovered (Redding, 2008).
After covering all the relevant subjects, the interview ends. However, the interview can be stopped in advance if the respondent appears to be uncomfortable. It will also be proper to ensure that the interview is carried out in an area that has correct recording situations for an excellent recording to take place.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.
