The document discusses issues that undermine scientific integrity, including pressure to publish, unrealistic expectations of science, and widespread questionable research practices. It notes that the current scientific ecosystem fails to account for human factors and biases, instead rewarding behaviors that benefit careers over robust science. Speakers at a symposium argued the system must acknowledge scientists are human and subject to cognitive biases. Reforms are needed to address both intentional misconduct and unintentional misbehavior caused by systemic incentives.

This document discusses a new retail distribution model for insurance companies. It proposes moving from the current commission scheme to a new model that includes fixed commissions plus acquisition commissions, bonuses, and overrides. The new model is also designed to accommodate the company's business model of having a sales force structure organized as "4 x 4 x 4" with offices, agencies, and financial advisors. The document also provides a sensitivity analysis examining how the new commission levels would vary based on changes in the number of financial advisors, their productivity, and the average premium amount.
A hotel provides lodged on a short-term basis, ranging from basic mattresses to luxury suites. Workers include receptionists, maids, bellboys, clerks, and managers. Receptionists greet guests and handle administrative tasks in lobbies or front desks. Maids, also called housekeepers, clean hotel rooms by opening windows, making beds, dusting, sweeping, cleaning bathrooms, and mopping or waxing floors. A bar is an establishment that serves alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Bartenders prepare and serve cocktails while flight bartenders do so with acrobatic flair and fire. Bar managers oversee finances.
This study investigated differences in pro-social behavior between individuals scoring high and low on the autism spectrum quotient (AQ). Participants completed a novel scenario task called "Above and Beyond" which presented opportunities to behave prosocially by balancing a character's needs against their own interests. It was found that high AQ participants generated less pro-social responses and selected less pro-social actions than low AQ participants. High AQ participants also reported higher self-satisfaction for low pro-social actions and lower self-satisfaction for high pro-social actions. The implications for everyday social functioning are considered for those with high autistic traits.
The document discusses how recruitment has become increasingly complex, driven by candidates in a tight job market and evolving digital technologies. It notes public sector employers now face competition with private employers while managing tight budgets. Recommendations include understanding what candidates want from the application process, providing a positive experience, effective communication, and using data to inform advertising spending. Resistance to change can make employers obsolete along with their methods.
Work Shop "Soluzioni RFID & NFC per contrastare la contraffazione del vino ed il mercato parallelo" del 22-10-2015 a SMAU: Diego Lai, Direttore Tecnico di Aliante IT (Top Solution Partner di RFID Global) racconta la soluzione AUTENTICO realizzata con tecnologia RFID & NFC per tracciare ogni bottiglia di vino e le scatole lungo l'intera filiera, dalla produzione alla degustazione. Tra gli obiettivi della soluzione, la lotta al mercato grigio ed alla contraffazione di uno dei brand più iconici del Made-in-Italy, il vino (caso Cantina di Santadi)
Este documento explica los conceptos básicos de la torsión en barras circulares. Expone que cuando una barra circular es sometida a torsión, las secciones transversales permanecen planas y giran como un todo rígido alrededor del eje. Las tensiones tangenciales varían linealmente desde cero en el eje hasta un máximo en la superficie exterior y son proporcionales al radio. También presenta fórmulas para calcular el ángulo de torsión, momento de torsión y tensiones de torsión en función del mó
El documento describe la evolución de la informática desde el ábaco hasta los ordenadores modernos. Comienza con inventos tempranos como el ábaco y la máquina analítica de Babbage. Luego describe el desarrollo de los primeros computadores electrónicos durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y los avances clave de figuras como Turing. Finalmente, resume los ordenadores personales y el surgimiento de empresas como Apple y Microsoft en las décadas de 1970 y 1980.
