This document discusses research on the relationship between economic insecurity and political preferences. It notes that while there has been substantial research, progress has been limited due to issues with research design, data limitations, conceptualization of economic insecurity, and lack of theory around different forms of political response. The document reviews evidence that economic insecurity is associated with shifts to the left politically, support for populist/far-right parties, anti-incumbent voting, and abstention. It also discusses evidence linking unemployment, job insecurity, and income drops to preferences for more welfare spending and redistribution, though these effects tend to be short-term. The document calls for improved longitudinal data and stronger theory to better understand how different types of economic
Aid has been a controversial topic with disagreement around whether it effectively boosts economic growth. Three key points of view are:
1) Aid has no significant impact on growth (Rajan and Subramanian 2008).
2) Aid only boosts growth in countries with good economic policies (Burnside and Dollar 1997).
3) Aid has a modest positive impact on growth on average, around 1 percentage point for every 10% of GDP in aid (Arndt, Jones, and Tarp 2010).
The document discusses the evolution of the empirical literature on this topic over multiple generations of studies from the 1970s to present. Methodological challenges in establishing causality are also examined. While results have been

This document discusses building trust in immunization programs globally. It notes that while vaccines have greatly reduced disease, public questions about vaccines have increased due to factors like new vaccines, increased access to information, and rare adverse events being publicized more. To address public distrust, the document advocates for transparent communication, emphasizing vaccine benefits over risks, and addressing socio-cultural factors like past abuses rather than dismissing concerns as ignorance. Media relations must focus on children's best interests and recognize parental roles in decisions affecting children's health.

55-J-10-2
Having reviewed my initial forum post, with minimal changes, I uphold my views that health equality and health disparities represent one of the most significant challenges facing the health of the global population given its correlation with good health and well-being (goal 3). With that said, I feel it's important to back away from using the terms health equality and health disparities using instead the term health equity. Notably, this change results from research conducted during module seven in which I happened upon the following quote.
Equity is the absence of avoidable or remediable differences among groups of people, whether those groups are defined socially, economically, demographically, or geographically. Health inequities, therefore, involve more than inequality with respect to health determinants, access to the resources needed to improve and maintain health or health outcomes. They also entail a failure to avoid or overcome inequalities that infringe on fairness and human rights norms. (World Health Organization, 2018, para. 1)
Thus, health inequities and health disparities become interchangeable as forms of unjust health differences, which unfavorably affect groups of people.
As such, "equity is the process and equality is the outcome" ("Equity", 2016, para. 2). In other words, "the route to achieving equity will not be accomplished through treating everyone equally. It will be achieved by treating everyone equitably, or justly according to their circumstances" (Dressel, 2014, para, 2). Notably, sustainable development goals one (poverty) and two (hunger) are linked to good health and well-being (goal 3), which in turn correlates with equity (United Nations, 2015). Thus, it's my view that by addressing equity on a global scale, you begin to break down the exasperating challenges associated with poverty, hunger, and good health and well-being.
With that said, the knowledge obtained throughout this course will prove beneficial as I further carve my career pathway in the areas of both public health and community health education as it relates to HIV/AIDS. The latter has been an area of extreme interest since the beginning of the epidemic back in the early 80s, yet that interest intensified ten-fold when, after 25 years of safely navigating the gay culture, I was diagnosed with HIV at the age of 41. Now ten years later, I stand in amazement that the vulnerabilities that led to my diagnosis persist; thus, continue to place the sexual health of today's youth at an increased risk. Subsequently, having completed this course, I feel more prepared to address the increased incidences of HIV within Phoenix's LGBT community.
In closing, I feel confident in suggesting that each chapter of the course textbook has content that's applicable to my field of work at the community level. Notable chapters that helped develop skills include chapters two (Culture, Behavior, and Health), four (Reproductive Health), five (Infectiou.

Generation Z

June 11, 2017
Short Background
The generational cohort is one of the categorical terms used to describe broad swaths of individuals (Rumbaut, 2004). There are currently four generations working side by side in today’s workforce, yet very soon, there will be a fifth adding to the mix as the oldest generation ages out of the workforce and enters retirement (Zemke, Raines, & Filipczak, 2000). The newest generation that will be going to work soon is Generation Z, who were born toward the end of the 1990’s to 2010. This generation witnessed the 9/11 attacks from elementary school and endured OIF/OEF each day of their lives, with many seeing parents sent off to the Middle East and shipped home in body bags or with extreme disabilities. They have always known of Homeland Security’s threat levels to include increased airport security. These youths have watched the mistakes their predecessors have made on social media websites, and are less inclined to post graphic photos of themselves (Fedele, 2016). This next generation of our youth is soon to be the target demographic of colleges, militaries, private industries, and commerce.
Problem Statement or the Problem with my Problem Statement
I need advice as to what exactly I am going to measure, I want to know how organizations will bring the next generation into the fold, how will they target, solicit, and entice them to come work for their organization. What would be attractive to Generation Z? I am leaning on a quantitative research method that will deploy a questionnaire to the generation before they graduate high school and join the working class. Any assistance would greatly be appreciated!

Why are you specifically interested in this topic?
When conducting research for my previous classes, many of the classroom references are a decade old and often older. I wanted a topic that was important now or will be in the next five years. There are few scholarly articles about Generation Z and how they will integrate into the workforce. The mere thought of writing such a lengthy project such as a dissertation is overwhelming, but if nothing come from the work then that is a massive waste of my time and all those involved.

QUESTIONS1. How could the company have erred so badly in its est.docxaudeleypearl
QUESTIONS
1. How could the company have erred so badly in its estimates of spending patterns of European customers?
2. Could a better reading of the effect of cultural differences on revenues have been achieved?
3. What suggestions do you have for fostering a climate of sensitivity and goodwill in corporate dealings with the French?
4. How do you account for the great success of Tokyo Disneyland and the problems of Euro Disney? What are the key contributory differences?
5. Do you believe that Euro Disney might have done better if it were located elsewhere in Europe rather than just outside Paris? Why or why not?
6. “Mickey Mouse and the Disney Park are an American cultural abomination.” Evaluate this critical statement.
7. Consider how a strong marketing approach might be made to both European consumers and middlemen, such as travel agents, tour guides, even bus drivers.
8. Discuss the desirability of raising admission prices at the very time when attendance is static, profits are nonexistent, and new attractions are months and several years in the future.
QUESTIONS
1. As the staff assistant to the president of Euro Disney, you already believe before the grand opening that the plans to use a skimming pricing strategy and to emphasize luxury hotel accommodations are ill advised. What arguments would you marshal to try to persuade the company to offer lower prices and more moderate accommodations? Be as persuasive as you can.
2. It is six months after the opening. Revenues are not meeting target, and a number of problems have surfaced and are being worked on. The major problem remains, however, that the venture needs more visitors or higher expenditures per visitor. Develop a business model to improve the situation.
3. How would you rid an organization, such as Euro Disney, of an arrogant mindset? Assume that you are an operational VP and have substantial resources, but not necessarily the eager support of top management.
TEAM DEBATE
->Under the topic "Team Debate Exercise" , you will find information about two camps adopting two opposing positions. Pick a position and discuss why that is the right approach for improving the situation.
-> If you were to be appointed as the Chief Marketing Officer of Euro Disney, what would be your actions to make Euro Disney a more attractive place for the customers? Explain in detail.

Development Assistance: A Practitioner's Perspective with Dr. Anthony ChanMercatus Center
The document discusses several challenges and complexities involved in effectively allocating and implementing foreign aid. It notes that while there is general agreement that the current foreign aid system is flawed, there is lack of a common understanding of the problems. Different stakeholders have varying preferences and time horizons. Properly analyzing problems, designing appropriate interventions, and ensuring implementation is difficult given the many political, economic, and social factors involved. Measuring the impact and sustainability of aid programs is also challenging due to the complex dynamics and long time horizons required for change.

Students will analyze statements and evidence, discuss different types of evidence, and practice evaluating the validity of evidence through various learning tasks and examples.
This document discusses political perspectives and how people can have different views on the same issues. It provides examples of factors that can influence perspectives such as age, experiences, values, and religion. The document also discusses the importance of distinguishing facts from opinions and being able to gather evidence to support different views on political issues. It emphasizes that citizens should consider different perspectives rather than ignore or reject others' views.
Healthcare Explain the implications for healthcare based on the geographic.pdfsdfghj21
1) Population trends like an aging population and increasing chronic diseases will increase demands on the healthcare system and costs. Treating seniors and managing chronic conditions requires more resources.
2) Geographic disparities exist in disease prevalence across US regions. For example, Southern states have higher rates of HIV/AIDS than other areas. Treating concentrated health issues in certain locations also impacts resource needs.
3) Psychographic trends like increasing sedentary lifestyles are linked to higher risks of obesity, diabetes, and other chronic conditions, raising healthcare costs to treat and manage these issues. Meeting new demands from population changes requires planning healthcare delivery and financing.
A Grounded Theory Approach Into The Development Of Career...Tiffany Sandoval
This document discusses a study that used a grounded theory approach to investigate how career goals change from childhood to adulthood, and what influences those changes. The study interviewed three participants ages 20-21 about their career goals over time. Four main themes emerged: 1) changes in job/occupation goals, 2) impacts on career goals, 3) career preparation, and 4) certainty and attitudes toward goals. The document also reviews previous research showing that career goals can be influenced by interests, abilities, academics, social support, role models, friends, and parents. Qualitative studies suggest career preparation and planning also impact goal development over time from adolescence to late adulthood.

Technology Diffusion, S-Curve, and Innovation-Decision Process
In this week's reflection report I will discuss technology diffusion, S-Curves and innovation
decision process. I will use the healthcare industry as an example. Our healthcare system is ever
evolving - new technologies, insurance models, and information systems are shaping the system
on a daily basis. Despites these changes and the huge healthcare expenditures (16 of GDP in
America compared to 8 in United Kingdom), Americans are comparatively not any healthier
than citizens in most other developed nations (Merson, Black, & Mills, 2012). The disconnect
between investments in technology and health outcomes is a concern of us all. It makes as
question technology diffusion within the healthcare system: are investments in health system
being spent efficiently? Are consumers really resistant to changes that benefit their health? Or
are there issues with technology diffusion as a practice.
Diffusion is the process by which an innovation is spread through a population. Ironically,
people and institutions, generally, do not like change. Change is viewed as painful, difficult and
times creating uncertainties. Because of this, and for the healthcare industry, huge amounts of
resources are devoted either to promoting innovations (for example, selling the latest drug,
imaging system, medical device etc.) or to preventing innovations from disrupting the status quo.
Although many successful healthcare innovations are aimed at making people healthier, at
relatively smaller increases in costs, IT usage in healthcare has always lagged other industries -
ERH are a good example. Adoption of ERH was slow. Literature on technology diffusion states
that successful implementation is influenced by the compatibility and complexity of the
innovation, organizational context, and the characteristics of the implementation strategy (Cain
M, & Mittman, 2002; Rogers, 1995). People respond to these factors differently resulting in an
S-shaped curve illustration of the adoption process.
The S-curve model shows that any innovation is first adopted by a few people/organizations and
as more use it, and confidence is built around the technology, other will begin to use it. Because
of the inherent uncertainty to new innovations, the decision to adopt an innovation takes time.
However, "once the diffusion reaches a level of critical mass, it proceeds rapidly. Eventually a
point is reached where the population is less likely to adopt the innovation, and spread slows
down. The S-curve implies a hierarchy of adopters, starting with innovators, early adopters, early
majority, late majority and laggards (Rogers, 1995). In other words the S-curve explains the
innovation-decision process: the process through which an individual/organization passes
through from when they gain knowledge of an innovation, to forming an attitude, to the decision
to accept or reject the innovation, .

This document summarizes a working paper that analyzes trends in intergenerational income mobility in the United States using tax records. The authors find that rank-based measures of mobility, such as the correlation between parent and child income percentiles and transition probabilities between income quintiles, have remained extremely stable for children born between 1971-1993. However, income inequality increased over this period, meaning the consequences of a child's birth circumstances are greater now than in the past. While relative mobility has not changed, absolute mobility may have increased as it is easier to surpass an absolute income threshold due to rising inequality.
This document discusses plans for Barack Obama's political team to maintain and expand the grassroots organizing network that helped elect him, in order to lobby lawmakers and pressure them to support Obama's agenda, including complex legislation on healthcare, energy, and the economy. The team is planning a nationwide hiring effort to employ full-time organizers and sustain the millions-strong network of supporters. This permanent campaign structure is said to be unprecedented for a president and aims to both advance Obama's policy goals and lay the groundwork for his reelection campaign.
Brandon’s Post· Identify the global societal issue you ha.docxrichardnorman90310
Brandon’s Post:
·
Identify the global societal issue you have chosen to research for your Final Paper, an argumentative essay, and explain why further research on this topic is important.
The issue I decide to talk about is lack of education. Education has not reached its peak due to change. Change is funny as it overwhelms people with different emotions. For instance, change can foster fear, happiness, doubt, uncertainty, acceptance, and love. Further study is required because “while nearly everyone engaged in the debate about schooling acknowledges that more resources is not a panacea (solution) the question is whether budgets can be expanded on specific items in a way that would increase the efficacy of schooling” (Pritchett, 2004, pg. 4, para. 1).
·
Provide a clear and concise thesis statement that includes a solution to the global societal issue (see
Writing a Thesis Statement (Links to an external site.) (Links to an external site.)
for assistance).
Change is inevitable whether you like it or not, it will happen. It does matter if it is for the betterment of mankind or the destruction of humanity. To be better prepared we need to improve our education infrastructure around the world. The fear of change has crippled us causing our education standards to decline. The reason change needs to happen is because we have become unaware, less knowledgeable, disconnect and less than human. Making higher education available for all would have caught this dilemma sooner, provided solutions using social justice, and replace fear with compassion and the will to act. The truth high quality education is a need not a want.
·
Explain how this global societal issue impacts a specific population.
Countries with deficient infrastructure are left behind or forgotten. Arditi (2004) stated, “the third salient aspect of globalization arises from the exponential increase in the pace of political, technological, economic, or cultural change. Its impact is undecidable” (pg. 3, para. 2)
.
Meaning that the future is not written yet. We have an opportunity to change it for the better.
·
Locate a peer-reviewed scholarly source and provide statistical data that you found surprising on the topic.
Arif (2016) outlines, “There are factors affecting the embodiment and development of higher education institutions. These factors can be listed as increasing population in underdeveloped and developing countries, globalization, information society, new basic technologies, increasing competition, government reforms, minimization and restructuring of the governments, etc.” (Sari 2016, pg. 327, para. 9). Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development countries seem to use a one-time large payment to pay for higher education which only make up about nine percent of higher learning.

Globally inclusive approaches to measurement_Shigehiro Oishi.pdfStatsCommunications
This document discusses measurement issues in comparing well-being and culture across countries. It covers 5 main issues: 1) Response styles may not fully explain differences in life satisfaction scores between countries. 2) Well-being items do not always function the same way across cultures, though lack of measurement equivalence only partly explains score differences. 3) Self-presentation and 4) judgmental/memory biases may also contribute to differences to a small-moderate degree. 5) The meaning and desirability of happiness differs across cultures, which can further impact scores. The document also advocates developing indigenous well-being measures that are meaningful within each local context.
Globally inclusive approaches to measurement_Erhabor Idemudia.pdfStatsCommunications
This document discusses considerations for developing quality of life measures from an African perspective. It notes that many existing QoL instruments were developed for Western populations and do not account for cultural differences. In Africa, concepts like happiness are more closely tied to collective well-being and social harmony rather than individualism. The document also outlines some key African beliefs, like Ubuntu, which emphasizes interconnectedness. It argues that QoL measures for Africa must assess both objective and subjective domains, and be grounded in cultural values like family, community, and spirituality rather than only Western individualistic norms. Developing culturally appropriate QoL measures is important for capturing well-being in a meaningful way.

Stats NZ has taken several steps to incorporate Māori perspectives when measuring quality of life and well-being in New Zealand. This includes developing the Te Kupenga Māori social survey, incorporating some concepts from Te Kupenga into the General Social Survey, working with partners on using administrative data for Māori, and trialling iwi-led data collections for the Census. Te Kupenga uses frameworks like Whare Tapu Whā and focuses on cultural well-being areas like spirituality, customs, te reo Māori, and social connectedness. It provides statistics on these areas as well as demographics, paid work, health, and other topics from a Māori

Having reviewed my initial forum post, with minimal changes, I uphold my views that health equality and health disparities represent one of the most significant challenges facing the health of the global population given its correlation with good health and well-being (goal 3). With that said, I feel it's important to back away from using the terms health equality and health disparities using instead the term health equity. Notably, this change results from research conducted during module seven in which I happened upon the following quote.
Equity is the absence of avoidable or remediable differences among groups of people, whether those groups are defined socially, economically, demographically, or geographically. Health inequities, therefore, involve more than inequality with respect to health determinants, access to the resources needed to improve and maintain health or health outcomes. They also entail a failure to avoid or overcome inequalities that infringe on fairness and human rights norms. (World Health Organization, 2018, para. 1)
Thus, health inequities and health disparities become interchangeable as forms of unjust health differences, which unfavorably affect groups of people.
As such, "equity is the process and equality is the outcome" ("Equity", 2016, para. 2). In other words, "the route to achieving equity will not be accomplished through treating everyone equally. It will be achieved by treating everyone equitably, or justly according to their circumstances" (Dressel, 2014, para, 2). Notably, sustainable development goals one (poverty) and two (hunger) are linked to good health and well-being (goal 3), which in turn correlates with equity (United Nations, 2015). Thus, it's my view that by addressing equity on a global scale, you begin to break down the exasperating challenges associated with poverty, hunger, and good health and well-being.
With that said, the knowledge obtained throughout this course will prove beneficial as I further carve my career pathway in the areas of both public health and community health education as it relates to HIV/AIDS. The latter has been an area of extreme interest since the beginning of the epidemic back in the early 80s, yet that interest intensified ten-fold when, after 25 years of safely navigating the gay culture, I was diagnosed with HIV at the age of 41. Now ten years later, I stand in amazement that the vulnerabilities that led to my diagnosis persist; thus, continue to place the sexual health of today's youth at an increased risk. Subsequently, having completed this course, I feel more prepared to address the increased incidences of HIV within Phoenix's LGBT community.
In closing, I feel confident in suggesting that each chapter of the course textbook has content that's applicable to my field of work at the community level. Notable chapters that helped develop skills include chapters two (Culture, Behavior, and Health), four (Reproductive Health), five (Infectiou.

Generation Z

PSYC 8115
Professor
June 11, 2017
Short Background
The generational cohort is one of the categorical terms used to describe broad swaths of individuals (Rumbaut, 2004). There are currently four generations working side by side in today’s workforce, yet very soon, there will be a fifth adding to the mix as the oldest generation ages out of the workforce and enters retirement (Zemke, Raines, & Filipczak, 2000). The newest generation that will be going to work soon is Generation Z, who were born toward the end of the 1990’s to 2010. This generation witnessed the 9/11 attacks from elementary school and endured OIF/OEF each day of their lives, with many seeing parents sent off to the Middle East and shipped home in body bags or with extreme disabilities. They have always known of Homeland Security’s threat levels to include increased airport security. These youths have watched the mistakes their predecessors have made on social media websites, and are less inclined to post graphic photos of themselves (Fedele, 2016). This next generation of our youth is soon to be the target demographic of colleges, militaries, private industries, and commerce.
Problem Statement or the Problem with my Problem Statement
I need advice as to what exactly I am going to measure, I want to know how organizations will bring the next generation into the fold, how will they target, solicit, and entice them to come work for their organization. What would be attractive to Generation Z? I am leaning on a quantitative research method that will deploy a questionnaire to the generation before they graduate high school and join the working class. Any assistance would greatly be appreciated!

Week 3, Main Discussion Post:
Why are you specifically interested in this topic?
When conducting research for my previous classes, many of the classroom references are a decade old and often older. I wanted a topic that was important now or will be in the next five years. There are few scholarly articles about Generation Z and how they will integrate into the workforce. The mere thought of writing such a lengthy project such as a dissertation is overwhelming, but if nothing come from the work then that is a massive waste of my time and all those involved. I want my work to benefit others and that would make t ...
QUESTIONS1. How could the company have erred so badly in its est.docxaudeleypearl
QUESTIONS
1. How could the company have erred so badly in its estimates of spending patterns of European customers?
2. Could a better reading of the effect of cultural differences on revenues have been achieved?
3. What suggestions do you have for fostering a climate of sensitivity and goodwill in corporate dealings with the French?
4. How do you account for the great success of Tokyo Disneyland and the problems of Euro Disney? What are the key contributory differences?
5. Do you believe that Euro Disney might have done better if it were located elsewhere in Europe rather than just outside Paris? Why or why not?
6. “Mickey Mouse and the Disney Park are an American cultural abomination.” Evaluate this critical statement.
7. Consider how a strong marketing approach might be made to both European consumers and middlemen, such as travel agents, tour guides, even bus drivers.
8. Discuss the desirability of raising admission prices at the very time when attendance is static, profits are nonexistent, and new attractions are months and several years in the future.
QUESTIONS
1. As the staff assistant to the president of Euro Disney, you already believe before the grand opening that the plans to use a skimming pricing strategy and to emphasize luxury hotel accommodations are ill advised. What arguments would you marshal to try to persuade the company to offer lower prices and more moderate accommodations? Be as persuasive as you can.
2. It is six months after the opening. Revenues are not meeting target, and a number of problems have surfaced and are being worked on. The major problem remains, however, that the venture needs more visitors or higher expenditures per visitor. Develop a business model to improve the situation.
3. How would you rid an organization, such as Euro Disney, of an arrogant mindset? Assume that you are an operational VP and have substantial resources, but not necessarily the eager support of top management.
TEAM DEBATE
->Under the topic "Team Debate Exercise" , you will find information about two camps adopting two opposing positions. Pick a position and discuss why that is the right approach for improving the situation.
-> If you were to be appointed as the Chief Marketing Officer of Euro Disney, what would be your actions to make Euro Disney a more attractive place for the customers? Explain in detail.

Development Assistance: A Practitioner's Perspective with Dr. Anthony ChanMercatus Center
The document discusses several challenges and complexities involved in effectively allocating and implementing foreign aid. It notes that while there is general agreement that the current foreign aid system is flawed, there is lack of a common understanding of the problems. Different stakeholders have varying preferences and time horizons. Properly analyzing problems, designing appropriate interventions, and ensuring implementation is difficult given the many political, economic, and social factors involved. Measuring the impact and sustainability of aid programs is also challenging due to the complex dynamics and long time horizons required for change.

Healthcare Explain the implications for healthcare based on the geographic.pdfsdfghj21
1) Population trends like an aging population and increasing chronic diseases will increase demands on the healthcare system and costs. Treating seniors and managing chronic conditions requires more resources.
2) Geographic disparities exist in disease prevalence across US regions. For example, Southern states have higher rates of HIV/AIDS than other areas. Treating concentrated health issues in certain locations also impacts resource needs.
3) Psychographic trends like increasing sedentary lifestyles are linked to higher risks of obesity, diabetes, and other chronic conditions, raising healthcare costs to treat and manage these issues. Meeting new demands from population changes requires planning healthcare delivery and financing.
A Grounded Theory Approach Into The Development Of Career...Tiffany Sandoval
This document discusses a study that used a grounded theory approach to investigate how career goals change from childhood to adulthood, and what influences those changes. The study interviewed three participants ages 20-21 about their career goals over time. Four main themes emerged: 1) changes in job/occupation goals, 2) impacts on career goals, 3) career preparation, and 4) certainty and attitudes toward goals. The document also reviews previous research showing that career goals can be influenced by interests, abilities, academics, social support, role models, friends, and parents. Qualitative studies suggest career preparation and planning also impact goal development over time from adolescence to late adulthood.

Technology Diffusion, S-Curve, and Innovation-Decision Process
In this week's reflection report I will discuss technology diffusion, S-Curves and innovation
decision process. I will use the healthcare industry as an example. Our healthcare system is ever
evolving - new technologies, insurance models, and information systems are shaping the system
on a daily basis. Despites these changes and the huge healthcare expenditures (16 of GDP in
America compared to 8 in United Kingdom), Americans are comparatively not any healthier
than citizens in most other developed nations (Merson, Black, & Mills, 2012). The disconnect
between investments in technology and health outcomes is a concern of us all. It makes as
question technology diffusion within the healthcare system: are investments in health system
being spent efficiently? Are consumers really resistant to changes that benefit their health? Or
are there issues with technology diffusion as a practice.
Diffusion is the process by which an innovation is spread through a population. Ironically,
people and institutions, generally, do not like change. Change is viewed as painful, difficult and
times creating uncertainties. Because of this, and for the healthcare industry, huge amounts of
resources are devoted either to promoting innovations (for example, selling the latest drug,
imaging system, medical device etc.) or to preventing innovations from disrupting the status quo.
Although many successful healthcare innovations are aimed at making people healthier, at
relatively smaller increases in costs, IT usage in healthcare has always lagged other industries -
ERH are a good example. Adoption of ERH was slow. Literature on technology diffusion states
that successful implementation is influenced by the compatibility and complexity of the
innovation, organizational context, and the characteristics of the implementation strategy (Cain
M, & Mittman, 2002; Rogers, 1995). People respond to these factors differently resulting in an
S-shaped curve illustration of the adoption process.
The S-curve model shows that any innovation is first adopted by a few people/organizations and
as more use it, and confidence is built around the technology, other will begin to use it. Because
of the inherent uncertainty to new innovations, the decision to adopt an innovation takes time.
However, "once the diffusion reaches a level of critical mass, it proceeds rapidly. Eventually a
point is reached where the population is less likely to adopt the innovation, and spread slows
down. The S-curve implies a hierarchy of adopters, starting with innovators, early adopters, early
majority, late majority and laggards (Rogers, 1995). In other words the S-curve explains the
innovation-decision process: the process through which an individual/organization passes
through from when they gain knowledge of an innovation, to forming an attitude, to the decision
to accept or reject the innovation, .

This document summarizes a working paper that analyzes trends in intergenerational income mobility in the United States using tax records. The authors find that rank-based measures of mobility, such as the correlation between parent and child income percentiles and transition probabilities between income quintiles, have remained extremely stable for children born between 1971-1993. However, income inequality increased over this period, meaning the consequences of a child's birth circumstances are greater now than in the past. While relative mobility has not changed, absolute mobility may have increased as it is easier to surpass an absolute income threshold due to rising inequality.
This document discusses plans for Barack Obama's political team to maintain and expand the grassroots organizing network that helped elect him, in order to lobby lawmakers and pressure them to support Obama's agenda, including complex legislation on healthcare, energy, and the economy. The team is planning a nationwide hiring effort to employ full-time organizers and sustain the millions-strong network of supporters. This permanent campaign structure is said to be unprecedented for a president and aims to both advance Obama's policy goals and lay the groundwork for his reelection campaign.

Brandon’s Post:
·
Identify the global societal issue you have chosen to research for your Final Paper, an argumentative essay, and explain why further research on this topic is important.
The issue I decide to talk about is lack of education. Education has not reached its peak due to change. Change is funny as it overwhelms people with different emotions. For instance, change can foster fear, happiness, doubt, uncertainty, acceptance, and love. Further study is required because “while nearly everyone engaged in the debate about schooling acknowledges that more resources is not a panacea (solution) the question is whether budgets can be expanded on specific items in a way that would increase the efficacy of schooling” (Pritchett, 2004, pg. 4, para. 1).
·
Provide a clear and concise thesis statement that includes a solution to the global societal issue (see
Writing a Thesis Statement (Links to an external site.) (Links to an external site.)
for assistance).
Change is inevitable whether you like it or not, it will happen. It does matter if it is for the betterment of mankind or the destruction of humanity. To be better prepared we need to improve our education infrastructure around the world. The fear of change has crippled us causing our education standards to decline. The reason change needs to happen is because we have become unaware, less knowledgeable, disconnect and less than human. Making higher education available for all would have caught this dilemma sooner, provided solutions using social justice, and replace fear with compassion and the will to act. The truth high quality education is a need not a want.
·
Explain how this global societal issue impacts a specific population.
Countries with deficient infrastructure are left behind or forgotten. Arditi (2004) stated, “the third salient aspect of globalization arises from the exponential increase in the pace of political, technological, economic, or cultural change. Its impact is undecidable” (pg. 3, para. 2)
.
Meaning that the future is not written yet. We have an opportunity to change it for the better.
·
Locate a peer-reviewed scholarly source and provide statistical data that you found surprising on the topic.
Arif (2016) outlines, “There are factors affecting the embodiment and development of higher education institutions. These factors can be listed as increasing population in underdeveloped and developing countries, globalization, information society, new basic technologies, increasing competition, government reforms, minimization and restructuring of the governments, etc.” (Sari 2016, pg. 327, para. 9). Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development countries seem to use a one-time large payment to pay for higher education which only make up about nine percent of higher learning.

Globally inclusive approaches to measurement_Shigehiro Oishi.pdfStatsCommunications
This document discusses measurement issues in comparing well-being and culture across countries. It covers 5 main issues: 1) Response styles may not fully explain differences in life satisfaction scores between countries. 2) Well-being items do not always function the same way across cultures, though lack of measurement equivalence only partly explains score differences. 3) Self-presentation and 4) judgmental/memory biases may also contribute to differences to a small-moderate degree. 5) The meaning and desirability of happiness differs across cultures, which can further impact scores. The document also advocates developing indigenous well-being measures that are meaningful within each local context.
Globally inclusive approaches to measurement_Erhabor Idemudia.pdfStatsCommunications
This document discusses considerations for developing quality of life measures from an African perspective. It notes that many existing QoL instruments were developed for Western populations and do not account for cultural differences. In Africa, concepts like happiness are more closely tied to collective well-being and social harmony rather than individualism. The document also outlines some key African beliefs, like Ubuntu, which emphasizes interconnectedness. It argues that QoL measures for Africa must assess both objective and subjective domains, and be grounded in cultural values like family, community, and spirituality rather than only Western individualistic norms. Developing culturally appropriate QoL measures is important for capturing well-being in a meaningful way.

The document discusses Italy's inclusion of domain satisfaction indicators in its framework for measuring well-being (BES). It provides background on Italy's system of social surveys and outlines the development of the BES project, which aims to measure equitable and sustainable well-being. The BES framework includes 12 domains of well-being and over 150 indicators, including subjective well-being indicators and indicators measuring satisfaction within other domains like health, work, relationships, safety, environment and more. The document presents examples of domain satisfaction indicators and trends over time in areas like friends relations and landscape satisfaction.

Domain satisfaction measures provide valid and useful information about people's lives beyond overall life satisfaction. Research has found that domain satisfaction captures different aspects of well-being than objective indicators alone, and that different life domains contribute differently to individual happiness. While domain satisfaction may be socially constructed and culturally variable, current policy efforts can still benefit from considering subjective experiences of satisfaction across life domains. Future research opportunities include exploring the multidimensional relationships between domain satisfaction and broader concepts of well-being.

Domains of life are important for understanding life satisfaction and informing better policymaking. The document discusses four key points:
1) It is important to consider multiple domains of life, not just economic factors, to understand people's overall well-being.
2) Domains of life represent different areas that people spend their time and where they make decisions, such as family, health, work, community.
3) Considering domains of life can provide insight into life satisfaction and help create more effective policies in areas like health, education, and social programs.
4) Current government institutions and policies can be better aligned to impact the domains of life that influence overall life satisfaction.

This document summarizes Sabrina Twilhaar's presentation on new frontiers in subjective well-being measurement for children. It discusses Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory and how children's well-being is influenced by multiple levels including micro (family, peers), meso (school), exo (neighborhood), and macro (culture, economy) systems. It then reviews literature on conceptualizing and measuring hedonic and eudaimonic well-being in children, noting gaps like a focus on life satisfaction over affect. Research finds children's well-being varies by age and sex, and is associated with family relationships and bullying. Overall, more work is needed to develop valid cross-cultural measures of multiple

This document summarizes recent research on measuring subjective well-being, with a focus on measuring how worthwhile people feel the things they do in life are. Some key findings include:
- In the UK, on average people rate their sense that the things they do are worthwhile at 7.86 out of 10, while 3.8% rate it between 0-4 out of 10.
- People in their late 60s and early 70s report the highest sense of worthwhile, while people over 85 and those aged 18-24 report the lowest.
- Factors associated with a higher sense of worthwhile include being older than 45/55, female, white, belonging to a religion, home ownership, higher income
Towards a more comprehensive measure of eudaimonia_Carol Graham.pdfStatsCommunications
1) The document discusses measuring hope as a distinct dimension of well-being, in addition to evaluative, hedonic, and eudaimonic measures. Hope is strongly linked to future-oriented behavior and investing in one's future.
2) Research has found unequal distributions of hope can act as a barrier to health and prosperity. People with higher hope are more likely to aspire to and achieve education and avoid risky behaviors. They also earn more, have stronger social connections, and live longer, healthier lives.
3) Areas and communities with high despair show vulnerabilities like increased deaths of despair, misinformation, and radicalization. Restoring hope is important for mental health recovery and addressing societal threats
Towards a more comprehensive measure of eudaimonia_Carol Ryff.pdfStatsCommunications
This document summarizes Carol Ryff's presentation on bringing measures of eudaimonia or human flourishing to OECD measures of subjective well-being. Ryff discusses defining eudaimonia based on Aristotle and modern views, developing scales to measure six dimensions of eudaimonia, and scientific findings linking higher eudaimonia to better health outcomes. Ryff also notes growing inequality in measures of well-being and calls for credible measurement of select eudaimonic factors like purpose in life and personal growth to be included in large-scale studies like those by OECD to better inform public policy. There is potential for synergies between longitudinal cohort studies providing evidence and OECD's focus on policy issues.

This document discusses the relationship between physical pain and subjective well-being. It notes that physical pain can negatively impact subjective well-being through physical, socioeconomic, psychosocial, and behavioral factors. The document reviews several studies that have examined the links between pain and subjective well-being. It also presents data from the Gallup World Poll that shows trends in physical pain between 2009-2021 across 146 countries, and correlations between indicators of subjective well-being and physical pain. The document argues that governments should consider measuring physical pain when assessing societal well-being.

2) Regression results are presented analyzing the relationship between life satisfaction, experienced wellbeing measures like happiness, and factors like income, location, and life events. Income is found to have a smaller effect on experienced wellbeing than life satisfaction.
3) An application of using experienced wellbeing data to value urban green space is described, with results suggesting experienced wellbeing may provide different valuations than typical hedonic pricing estimates.

This document summarizes Arthur Stone's presentation on the OECD's recommendations for measuring affective subjective well-being. Stone argues that the OECD's original strategy of measuring positive and negative affect using a yesterday recall period was sound. However, he suggests broadening the definition of affective well-being to include self-reported pain. Stone presents research showing monitoring pain in populations over time can provide insights, such as revealing increased rates of pain in younger generations without college degrees. He concludes by recommending the expansion of affective well-being measures in line with considering a broader definition and the drivers of its components.

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.
The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.

HLEG thematic workshop on Economic Insecurity, Nathan Hendren, discussant
1. Discussion of “Redistribution in the Knowledge
Economy”
Nathaniel Hendren

March, 2016
Nathaniel Hendren (Harvard and NBER) Discussion March, 2016 1 / 7
2. Summary
Many nice ideas in this brief
Caveat: I’m new to much of the terminologies used...
Political preference for redistribution depends on
[Redistribution] Altruism for poor
[Insurance] Belief you may be poor in the future
Changing economy generates more insecurity
Union jobs -> Temp workers
But, increasing segmentation has prevented support for redistribution
Two forces counter-act to prevent redistribution (A+B=0)
Nice empirical evidence...but omitted variable bias?
Second line of argument: gov’t institutions / coalitions determine
support for redistribution
Endogenous cycles? Less investment in public education -> lower
outcomes for vulnerable groups -> greater segmentation? -> less
support for redistribution?
Nathaniel Hendren (Harvard and NBER) Discussion March, 2016 2 / 7
3. Some Thoughts
Some thoughts with the U.S. experience in mind
Question the background: If inequality increased, why not more
support for redistribution?
Two types of increasing inequality
Top 1%
90/10
Is segmentation about 90/10 inequality? Political influence of top
prevents redistribution at the top?
Nathaniel Hendren (Harvard and NBER) Discussion March, 2016 3 / 7
4. Role of Intergenerational mobility
Alternative story in my mind: What if redistributive preferences are
more governed by intergenerational concerns?
Redistribution as intergenerational insurance...
Maybe value of this insurance hasn’t changed?
Low mobility in US (Chetty et al. 2014a), but stable over time
(Chetty et al. 2014b)

7. Final thoughts...
Copula is stable over time
Expectation and variance of child’s income rank is same now as 30
years ago
If families care about child’s location in income distribution, can this
explain why no massive change in support for redistribution?
In short, great set of ideas and interesting evidence of increasing
segmentation and its important political implications; am curious on
thoughts from an intergenerational perspective.
