Ethical principles governing global principles Athif Azeez
This document outlines ethical principles for group members and facilities, including prohibiting forced labor, child labor, abuse, and discrimination. It requires compliance with wage, hour, health, safety and environmental laws. The principles must be communicated to employees and efforts made to educate them periodically. Bribery to gain competitive advantage is not tolerated. Freedom of association for employees is recognized. Ethical issues in global business discussed include improper marketing practices, labor abuses, corruption, and differing views on bribery across cultures. Improving ethics involves respecting fundamental international rights.
This document provides an overview of business ethics concepts. It defines ethics and discusses principles of both professional and personal ethics. Business ethics is defined as applying general ethical ideas to business behavior based on integrity and fairness while considering both internal and external stakeholders. Several ethical theories are covered, including utilitarianism, Kantian ethics, and virtue ethics. The document also discusses the evolution of business ethics over time and the importance of managing ethics in organizations.
The document discusses various aspects of global marketing including:
1) Reasons for companies to go global such as new trade agreements and transportation improvements.
2) Means for companies to enter foreign markets such as exports, strategic alliances, and wholly owned subsidiaries.
3) The evolution of multinational, global, and transnational approaches to marketing across borders.
4) Factors such as globalization, competition, and government policies that are driving more companies to adopt global marketing strategies.
The document discusses the meaning and importance of ethics, especially business ethics. It defines ethics as the science of character and principles that determine right and wrong conduct. Business ethics comprises the moral principles that guide behavior in business. The document outlines different views on the relationship between business and ethics, discusses common unethical acts and why misconduct often goes unreported, and provides suggestions for encouraging ethical conduct like training, whistleblowing policies, and codes of ethics.
slides on understanding workplace ethics, what it affects, benefits of workplace ethics, slides on ethic codes, codes of conduct, values, ethic programs, required resources, two ethical styles, 3 steps to resolve ethical dilemmas and how to address ethical dilemmas, guidelines and slides on implementing ethic programs, detecting 6 key roles and responsibilities, guidelines for moral decision making, 10 common ethic code provisions, 15 slides on creating an effective code of conduct, and more.
Ethics involves moral standards that govern behavior and determine what is good versus bad. Ethical behavior follows principles of moral reasoning and can vary across cultures. Upholding ethics in business requires balancing universal moral standards with local cultural norms. Many factors influence individual and organizational ethics, including moral development, values, leadership, and structural influences within a company.
This document summarizes the goals and progress of Cochrane's Strategy to 2020. It has four main goals: 1) Producing high-quality systematic reviews, 2) Making evidence accessible worldwide, 3) Advocating for evidence-informed healthcare, and 4) Building an effective and sustainable organization. In 2015, Cochrane achieved many milestones, including a new brand and multilingual website, increasing access to reviews, and partnerships to increase the impact of evidence on guidelines and policies. In 2016, Cochrane will continue projects to improve technology, business processes, and membership while delivering the Strategy to 2020.

This document discusses the impact of translating Cochrane reviews into other languages. It finds that Spanish and French translations see tens of thousands of page views and visits each month, accounting for 10-15% and 15-20% of total summaries traffic respectively. Translations help reach new audiences, as evidenced by France now ranking second in country statistics. While the impact is smaller, Portuguese and Croatian translations also see usage and audience increases as more reviews are translated. The top languages for translations are Spanish, French and Portuguese, matching the number of speakers of those languages globally.
This document discusses how linked data and other futuristic technologies can enhance the dissemination of systematic reviews beyond static PDF documents. It notes that linked data, combined with text mining, has potential to improve the production of systematic reviews as well. The document discusses how linked data can improve the reading experience by allowing readers to control their experience of content through concept-based exploration of fact-based information and networks of documents interconnected by concepts rather than just characters. This represents a shift from documents being the focus to the concepts and knowledge they contain.
1. The document discusses how cheap data is changing how knowledge is formed and discussed the increasing generativity of data sets through greater accessibility, adaptability, leverage, and ease of use.
2. It notes that collaboration and sharing of data will be necessary and discusses the potential for patient data to enable unanticipated discoveries through broad contributions.
3. Integrating most patient data is seen as mostly non-generative currently but examples of collaborations on generative data are mentioned as proving collaboration is possible. Concerns about privacy and appropriate use are also raised.
The document summarizes a lightning session on tools and interfaces for systematic reviews presented by Jessica Thomas and Jacob Riis from Silos Inc. It discusses Cochrane's current tools like RevMan and Archie. It also talks about the need to make authoring more efficient and flexible, improve automation using tools like CRS and RevMan, and leverage primary studies to automatically feed into systematic reviews as they develop in order to create "tasty data". The presentation sought feedback on improving existing resources and developing new tools and approaches.
The document discusses leveraging technology to improve the Cochrane review process and better deliver evidence to end-users. It proposes moving from a traditional review model to a continuous learning model that incorporates individual patient data, produces more personalized evidence, and accounts for rapidly evolving digital technologies and health apps. Specific ideas include using n-of-1 trials for chronic pain, evaluating eHealth interventions during development, and conducting large virtual cohort studies using diverse data sources. The goal is to generate the most sound individual and population-level evidence through open, linked data and continuous review methods.
This document discusses how machine learning and natural language processing techniques can help automate parts of the systematic review process. It notes that the volume of literature is growing rapidly, necessitating new approaches. Specifically, machine learning classifiers like support vector machines can be trained on labeled examples to screen abstracts and select potentially relevant papers, reducing the manual burden. However, imbalanced data and reviewer time constraints require approaches like active learning and dual supervision. The document concludes by suggesting text mining could also aid other review tasks beyond citation screening.
Crowdsourcing uses online platforms like Amazon Mechanical Turk to distribute simple tasks to many workers. Zooniverse is a platform that uses crowdsourcing for scientific research projects, ensuring tasks contribute to real research. Citizen science websites like SciStarter allow volunteers to participate in various science projects. Cochrane could use crowdsourcing to speed up reviewing literature for systematic reviews by breaking tasks into smaller pieces distributed to many volunteers, as long as tasks are clinically relevant and volunteers are motivated and supported.
The document discusses the future of Cochrane Reviews and scientific articles moving away from static documents toward structured linked data and interfaces. It argues that the focus should shift from the documents themselves to the things they are about (e.g. populations, interventions, outcomes), which can be connected as a web of data. This would allow content to be more nimble, traveling freely across datasets while retaining context. Interfaces could provide better access than documents by enabling smart search and filtering of this linked data graph. The future is making content and delivery more important than the containers (documents/articles) themselves.

Systematic reviews aim to reduce bias and provide accurate information about healthcare interventions by synthesizing evidence from multiple studies. Their evolution began in the early 20th century with early statistical meta-analyses. Later, Archie Cochrane advocated for regularly updating specialized reviews of randomized controlled trials to inform clinical practice. This led to the formation of the Cochrane Collaboration in the 1990s to produce freely accessible systematic reviews and promote evidence-based healthcare worldwide.

This document summarizes a consultation regarding requirements for a new Cochrane Register of Studies database system. It outlines the objectives to clarify and prioritize business and technical requirements to produce a request for proposal. It describes the approach taken, including reviewing existing requirements, producing a requirements catalogue and high-level architecture diagrams. It then presents the findings, including "As-Is" and "To-Be" high-level architecture diagrams, a conceptual solution overview, example technologies that could be used, and the results of requirements prioritization. It concludes by discussing next steps around the request for proposal, but also raises questions about potentially simpler alternatives to meet core needs.
The document discusses requirements for a new Cochrane Register of Studies database system. It outlines the objectives to clarify and prioritize business and technical requirements, produce a request for proposal (RFP) document, and a scoring guide for responses. A requirements catalog and high-level architecture diagrams were produced. Requirements were prioritized using MoSCoW rules. The document considers alternative options to a complex bespoke system like using a commercial off-the-shelf package to address the core problems of data duplication, search functionality, and workflow issues.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
