Balanced scorecard
A balanced scorecard is a concept used by managers to analyze their business using four different perspectives. It helps to provide a customer’s perspective, the organization’s internal perspective, the innovation and learning perspective and the financial perspective. The advantage for this measure is that it reduces the data overload by minimizing the number of required measures.
The mission statement of the organization is used to determine the customer perspective. This is helps to frame how the customer views the organization. The mission for the organization is to become a leader in delivering products used in laboratory testing. The concerns of the customer deal with time, quality, cost and performance and service. The company has been able to deliver orders made by customers within a short lead time except for few instances when suppliers had failed to deliver the raw materials within the stipulated time. The quality of the products it delivers has been undisputed. The cost of the products is also competitive in the market when compared to those of the competitors. This has helped the organization to gain a substantial market base. Convenience has been created for the customers by carrying out delivery to their preferred destination. Under this goals and achievements, it can be concluded that the organization is preferred by many customers (Kaplan & Norton, 1992).
Company based measures are important as they dictate how the organization meets the customer’s needs. Quality is the main concern for the organization’s customers and therefore, measures should be put in place to ensure that the final products are of good quality. This can be achieved through the selection of the best suppliers based on the quality of their raw materials rather than the price. This was achieved in the process of supplier selection and the continuous evaluation of the suppliers to ensure that they maintain the quality. The processes undertaken to produce the products used in laboratory settings are also meticulously monitored and improvements made over time. This means that the quality increases with time and this ensures that the internal metric of quality is achieved (Kaplan & Norton, 1992).
Innovation and learning is part of the culture within the organization. There is a research and development department within the organization whose sole purpose is to carry out research and come up with new and improved products. These are aimed at meeting the ever changing needs of the consumer. The financial perspective of the organization is also promising since the profitability has increased. The company has experie.
Selection of Supplier by Using Saw and Vikor MethodsIJERA Editor
Now a days, Lean manufacturing becomes a key strategy for global competition. In this environment the most important process is the efficient selection of suppliers. In any organization various criteria such as quality, cost, location etc are used for the selection of supplier which plays a vital role in the industry. In the present work multi criteria decision making (MCDM) methods are used such as SAW method and VIKOR method. It is used to select the best supplier for implementing the spring manufacturing industry. Choice of the efficient supplier could be a complicated and is a complex problem and this draw back associate degreed a key success for an organization. In this paper linguistic fuzzy data is used to search out the ratings and weights and also the introduced methodologies employed to pick the efficient supplier

To obtain suppliers for the muscles from turkey legs, heart of pigs, alligator claws, corn leaves and Kelp from the Chesapeake Bay, the company would need to consider the various legal ramifications of purchasing. There is need for the company to routinely sign purchase orders and contracts which commit them to the specific terms and conditions of purchase orders and contracts. There are several essential elements of a purchase order and they include:
I. The two parties, both the company and the suppliers, must be capable of delivering
II. The subject of the matter must be legal and valid
III. There must be mutual consideration
IV. The parties must reach an agreement by offer and acceptance.
All four elements have to be present for the contract to be legal. If any of the elements is missing it makes the agreement unenforceable before a court of law.
The details of the purchase contract need to be well defined and it should not be carried out in a hasty manner. This is because, once the contract has been approved, there are no changes which can be accepted. In addition to the purchase contract, a purchase requisition should be made available as it specifies the required parts. This is important because the five items which are required by the company are part of a whole and hence the need for the purchase requisition. These contracts are aimed at binding the supplier and the company together and to provide security to the company for a source of their raw materials. Whenever the company requires the raw materials to be supplied, a purchase order has to be created. This provides a records of the details of the raw material to be supplied by the suppliers.
Several elements need to be clarified in the contract to ensure that there are no misunderstandings between the supplier and the company. The first is the quality of the raw materials that the suppliers will supply and this ensures consistency and surety of products the company receives. The second component highlights the cost of the raw materials, that is the price which the suppliers will supply the raw materials per unit. The duration before the raw materials are supplied should also be specified to allow the company to calculate the lead time and avoid running out of raw materials. Finally, the duration of payment should also be outlined in the contract to stipulate the time taken before payment is made.

Single Or Multiple Sourcing: A Mathematical Approach To Decision Makinginventionjournals
ABSTRACT: There is often a tussle between choosing a right sourcing strategy which says, whether the buyer should go for single sourcing or multiple sourcing. In this paper we introduces quality as a parameter apart from other parameter such as economies of scale and specific knowledge or learning effect on sourcing strategy selection by taking into account the small number of interaction involving buyer and competing suppliers, formulated mathematically using Berndt Wood Model (Translog cost function). The objective is to find whether the difference function between the cost of production in single sourcing and Multiple (dual) sourcing is decreasing or increasing, when quality as parameter is introduced. Using the concept of maximization and minimization of a function, it is achieved, considering certain assumptions. Here the results indicates that in the long run multiple sourcing is definitely the better option, which able to cater quality as well as supplier opportunism and cost. This further established by the numerical illustration.

Quality and Ethics
Quality appears to be good business. Quality is also good ethics. It is unethical to ship defective products knowingly to a customer. Reliable products and low defect rates reflect an ethical approach of management’s care for its customers. This ethic is stated in the well-known mission statement of a New Bedford, Massachusetts, shipbuilder; “We build good ships. At a profit if we can, at a loss if we must. But, we build good ships.”

Selection of Best Supplier in Furniture Manufacturing Company by Using Analyt...IJERA Editor
The selection of supplier is one of the most critical decisions in the design and development of a successful production environment. In this study, a user friendly decision support system is proposed for supplier selection. This system guides the decision maker in selecting proper supplier via effective algorithms, such as the Analytic Hierarchy process (AHP) Cost analysis helps the user evaluate the results based on economical considerations. Selection of supplier is a time consuming process which needs extensive data exploitation. The process of supplier selection is a multi- criteria decision-making problem with conflicting and diverse objectives. In this work a systematic methodology is presented under the consideration of multiple factors and objectives that are witnessed to be crucial to the construction process. The model includes building an analytic hierarchy structure with a tree of hierarchical criteria and alternatives to ease the decision-making.
Success in supply begins with the right choice of suppliers and in the long run is directly related to how suppliers are managed, because suppliers have a significant impact on the success or failure of a company. Multi-criteria decisions are approaches that deal with ranking and selecting one or more suppliers from a set of suppliers. Multi-criteria decisions provide an effective framework for comparing suppliers based on the evaluation of different criteria. The present research is applied based on the purpose and descriptive-survey based on the nature and method of the research. In the present study, two library and field methods have been used to collect information. According to the objectives of this study, suppliers will be evaluated using two methods of fuzzy hierarchical analysis with D-numbers. In order to better understand these two methods, a case study is presented in which suppliers are ranked using two methods and then the results are compared with each other. For manufacturing companies, 4 categories of parts were considered and based on the classification, the suppliers of the manufacturing company were evaluated and analyzed. In the results of suppliers of type A and B components in hierarchical analysis, D and fuzzy methods have many differences in the evaluation and ranking of suppliers, and this shows the lack of expectations of experts in D and fuzzy analysis. On the other hand, in type C and D components, the classification and ranking of suppliers have been matched in two ways and shows that the opinions in the evaluation of these suppliers are the same.
There is an increasing trend in competition on the global market and this has compelled many manufacturing and service companies to revise their understanding of quality. Customers today make informed choices and patronize products and services based on their quality. There are also regulations which are established by government agencies to ensure that products and services are of expected quality that satisfies the needs of the customer. This demand from customers has triggered a need for manufacturing companies to always provide quality products to stay in competition. Provision of quality products has a cost element attached to it. The study was a case study and focused on the assessment of cost of quality and its effect on manufacturing performance. There have been several researches that have shown the relevance of cost of quality assessment in a manufacturing firm. This research looks at cost of quality with specific emphasis on the classical P-A-F (Prevention-Appraisal-Failure) cost model and tries to ascertain its effects on manufacturing performance. The study focused on Special Ice Company Limited as a case study. The study employed three categories namely, cost of prevention, cost of appraisal and cost of failure as a proxy for cost of quality on the manufacturing performance. A sample of 80 participants was randomly selected for this study. Primary data was collected and analyzed. The findings show that the cost of quality element like cost of external failure and cost of appraisal had a statistically significant impact on the manufacturing performance of the company. A semi-structured interview was also conducted with the Manager Director to further understand the posturing of the top management with regards to the study. The study recommended that the organization make a conscious effort to sensitize employees to understand the cost of quality and its implications on the manufacturing performance of the company and also appraise their production processes at all times and ensure their entire staff adhere to accepted procedures. Again, the study also recommended that top management get actively involved and make a conscious effort to incorporate the cost of quality in their decision-making process and get all staff to align and adhere to it and also pay close attention to customer complaints act on it to improve on the products.

Selection of Best Supplier in Furniture Manufacturing Company by Using Analyt...IJERA Editor
The selection of supplier is one of the most critical decisions in the design and development of a successful production environment. In this study, a user friendly decision support system is proposed for supplier selection. This system guides the decision maker in selecting proper supplier via effective algorithms, such as the Analytic Hierarchy process (AHP) Cost analysis helps the user evaluate the results based on economical considerations. Selection of supplier is a time consuming process which needs extensive data exploitation. The process of supplier selection is a multi- criteria decision-making problem with conflicting and diverse objectives. In this work a systematic methodology is presented under the consideration of multiple factors and objectives that are witnessed to be crucial to the construction process. The model includes building an analytic hierarchy structure with a tree of hierarchical criteria and alternatives to ease the decision-making.
Success in supply begins with the right choice of suppliers and in the long run is directly related to how suppliers are managed, because suppliers have a significant impact on the success or failure of a company. Multi-criteria decisions are approaches that deal with ranking and selecting one or more suppliers from a set of suppliers. Multi-criteria decisions provide an effective framework for comparing suppliers based on the evaluation of different criteria. The present research is applied based on the purpose and descriptive-survey based on the nature and method of the research. In the present study, two library and field methods have been used to collect information. According to the objectives of this study, suppliers will be evaluated using two methods of fuzzy hierarchical analysis with D-numbers. In order to better understand these two methods, a case study is presented in which suppliers are ranked using two methods and then the results are compared with each other. For manufacturing companies, 4 categories of parts were considered and based on the classification, the suppliers of the manufacturing company were evaluated and analyzed. In the results of suppliers of type A and B components in hierarchical analysis, D and fuzzy methods have many differences in the evaluation and ranking of suppliers, and this shows the lack of expectations of experts in D and fuzzy analysis. On the other hand, in type C and D components, the classification and ranking of suppliers have been matched in two ways and shows that the opinions in the evaluation of these suppliers are the same.
There is an increasing trend in competition on the global market and this has compelled many manufacturing and service companies to revise their understanding of quality. Customers today make informed choices and patronize products and services based on their quality. There are also regulations which are established by government agencies to ensure that products and services are of expected quality that satisfies the needs of the customer. This demand from customers has triggered a need for manufacturing companies to always provide quality products to stay in competition. Provision of quality products has a cost element attached to it. The study was a case study and focused on the assessment of cost of quality and its effect on manufacturing performance. There have been several researches that have shown the relevance of cost of quality assessment in a manufacturing firm. This research looks at cost of quality with specific emphasis on the classical P-A-F (Prevention-Appraisal-Failure) cost model and tries to ascertain its effects on manufacturing performance. The study focused on Special Ice Company Limited as a case study. The study employed three categories namely, cost of prevention, cost of appraisal and cost of failure as a proxy for cost of quality on the manufacturing performance. A sample of 80 participants was randomly selected for this study. Primary data was collected and analyzed. The findings show that the cost of quality element like cost of external failure and cost of appraisal had a statistically significant impact on the manufacturing performance of the company. A semi-structured interview was also conducted with the Manager Director to further understand the posturing of the top management with regards to the study. The study recommended that the organization make a conscious effort to sensitize employees to understand the cost of quality and its implications on the manufacturing performance of the company and also appraise their production processes at all times and ensure their entire staff adhere to accepted procedures. Again, the study also recommended that top management get actively involved and make a conscious effort to incorporate the cost of quality in their decision-making process and get all staff to align and adhere to it and also pay close attention to customer complaints act on it to improve on the products.

Democracy is ruled by the majority, though this is in place in American society today it deffinelty paves the way for free thought and choice among individuals. More fair than one person’s rule, its an collective rule by the community.
Elections (frequent elections and the more opportunity to do so is an expression of freedom)
Voting is one of the pillars of democracy and a modern view of the “good life” (Lesson3)
Though there are minor restrictions there such as age and criminal history or mental health (Political equality= they should be no restriction on race or gender)
Different view points (political positions) there must be choice
And free market media ( Truth=informed choice) no political censorship

Introduction: What is currently standing in my way of achieving these goals?I intend to do is a complete turnaround and modification of behavior and perspective in how to be better in leadership. One of the first crucial changes involves changing my habits and specifically ensuring that I am well informed on issues that affect the individuals under my leadership. This is in line with opening communication more and avoiding seclusion and being alone as it is the role of a leader to be always communicating or around his followers at most times. More crucial is to change how I conduct decision making and implement more logical and practical consideration to every situation as it is always good to find an advantage for everybody. To lead the mission to a fruitful conclusion, a leader must establish priorities and utilize the talents, creativity, resources and energy of his followers, generally imperfect individuals, and empower them to rise to and occasionally beyond their previously assumed potential. Great leaders establish a plan, a map to help them organize and ensure they have an appropriate and effective team in place, clearly communicate the plan to and lead their followers to the destination (Jackson, 2012)
Personal values: Needless to say, “all leaders, all human beings, have values. Values are beliefs that represent an individual’s ideas about what is right, good or desirable (Robbins, S. P. & Judge T. A., 2011, p. 144). My philosophy on leadership is founded on my collective life experiences, reflections, successes, and failures. I see a great correlation in terms of how leaders and followers come to meet and get a way forward. As such, I should express more respect for the leaders and followers that are able to listen and interact with me as it shows they support some of my opinions in terms of strength through relationships. I intend to essentially align and try to use my values as a guideline in everything I participate in and everything I say in my work, my relationships and in my family. Also, it is the nature of humans to make errors once in a while but not too often. As such, it is important to be more compassionate and understanding in order to provide an opportunity for them and me to learn from it as their failures are my failures. The manner in which contribution is usually provided is at times not appreciated and as a leader it is crucial to recognize efforts made in a team work setting.
What do I want to make out of my life? This requires a clear vision in order for it to be implemented. This means that I have to lay own my agenda and goals in order to be more accurate in achieving the overall development and growth. This should be in line with my work ethic and beliefs in order for it to be effective and more professional. This would provide me .

Introduction
Electronic Health Record (EHR) is the computerized storage and sharing of patients’ health information to help in continuous monitoring of the patients’ health (Shickel B., 2017). This is a system developed to enable health clinics share information that can help in providing effective medication to the patients with different kinds of health needs. The data on patients is stored and accessed by the clinics during visits from the patient which will help in care management of the patients. An electronic health record system can be helpful as the information stored consist of medical history of a patient, laboratory tests, treatment plans, immunization dates and various allergies of the patients. This is helpful when the patient visits different clinic health providers where they will not need to explain the situations over and over again.
Electronic health record system automates information sharing and reduces the traditional paper work which was tiresome and had a great risk of losing information. With the HER, information on patients is kept in a secure system where only authorized persons can access it. Errors are minimized in provision of health care since the information kept can be more accurate and available at any given time.
Wasatch Family Clinic will greatly benefit from this strategy of recording, keeping and sharing of information on patients. The nurses can use the system to easily record the patients’ names, numbers and all other critical information required during scheduling for clinical attendance of any patient. Tracing of the information will be easier compared to using the traditional form of papers in storing information for a patient.
Need to share data
Information on health status of a patient has to be kept with care and only authorized persons can be able to access them. This helps in building ethical handling of patients’ information which creates their trust on the health care providers (Drazen J., 2015).
Wasatch Family Clinic needs to share their health data with the patients for them to understand their health issues. The clinic also needs to share data with other health facilities in order to increase the patient’s safety and a great care.
Duplicate registrations will be avoided by sharing data in the different departments of the health care center. A real-time link can be created for the patients from registration, through consultation, testing and final medication. This can save Wasatch family Clinic from traditional paper work which took most time when searching for medical records of a patient at every stage in the clinic. Time can also be saved when the information of the patient is a system shared by the departments of the clinic health center.
Wasatch Family Clinic will also benefit economically when the data is shared improving service time and hence reducing.

Serial murderer – an introduction
The crime of manslaughter has been known for a long time, to be specifically the early 1600’s but the initial case of a serial murderer was in the year 1888, named, Jack the Ripper, who killed and mutilated five prostitutes in the East London. Field experts have stated that at any time, the United States has around 50 active serial murderers, owing to the fact that arroba the year multiple homicides have occurred. Now the question arises, who is a serial killer?
A person possessing a specific emotional drive to kill mercilessly is termed as a serial murderer. These murders, killings, manslaughters, or homicides are generally done in a different way that distinguishes one serial murderer from another. The killer often has a sign that they are distinguished with. Serial murderers are kept in the page as being mass- slayers. The only difference being that serial murderers do not naturally kill the way mass murderers/ slayers do, i.e. mass slayers don’t leave breaks in committing the merciless murders. On the other hand, serial murderers tend to have a distinct feature that reflects the fact that they are murderers with a psychotic overdrive (Ellens, 2011).
Jeffrey Dahmer
Nearly 25 years ago, one of America’s most infamous serial murderers, Jeffrey Dahmer, a paedophile, and a cannibal, was confronted, attacked and mercilessly slayed while cleaning the bathroom of a prison. His span of crime ranged from June 18, 1978 till July 19, 1991.
Jeffrey Dahmer, also known as Milwaukee Cannibal or the Milwaukee Monster, was an American serial murderer and a sex criminal who brutally raped and then killed 17 men and boys between the years 1978 to 1991. Several of those later homicides consisted of preservation of several body parts of the victims, necrophilia and cannibalism. Though he was initially diagnosed with several mental diseases like borderline personality disorder, a psychotic disorder, and schizotypal personality disorder, Dahmer was found to be legitimately stable at his probation.
He was sentenced for fifteen terms of life custody on February 15, 1992 for the fifteen of the sixteen homicides that he had committed in Wisconsin. Later, he was condemned to a sixteenth term of life custody for an additional slaughter in 1978 in Ohio. Dahmer was crushed to death by Christopher Scarver On November 28th, 1994 at the Columbia Correctional Institution (Martens, 2011).
Jeffery’s move into criminality- early years
It is reported by witnesses that as an infant, Dahmer was deprived of attention and love that a child expects from his parents. It is also reported that his mother was identified as a stressed, covetous, and argumentative lady who often quarrelled with her husband and their neighbours. As Dahmer entered the first grade, his mother .

1. Audience for webinar
The audience for the webinar is divided into three age groups. The school going students are the audience. First audience group is the middle child, the second audience group is early childhood and the third group is early adolescence forth is emerging adults. The webinar content will be highly useful because it will educate the audience about the sexuality. The sexual harassments, teenage pregnancy, and many more issues are associated with it, so there is the necessity for such type of education. The webinar content will be characterized specifically according to each age group. The middle childhood and early adolescence need some specific and limited awareness but the adolescence and emerging adults need the detailed awareness.
2. Intended Focus
The webinar focus is on that audience which doesn’t need the higher consideration of the webinar topic. There is a need to educate immature children, teenagers and adults about sexuality. It’s all about creating awareness. Today the world is modernized. The difference between male and female doesn’t matter. The co-education system created a lot of issues along its benefits. There is need to educate the students including girl and boys so they can avoid all bad activities which can lead them towards destruction. Sexuality is not all about the willingness of two people but it sometimes happened in terms of harassments.
The focus is based on the education of immature younger and teenager students who are living in the global world, studying in co-education. Parents are not advising them about the fact that they should avoid such type of relationships, predict the harassments and prevent themselves for being victimized. So, the major focus is to provide awareness to them so they can prevent all that approaches and secure themselves. The webinar focused the school educational system in which such type of awareness sessions are necessary. It has many benefits and our children can take decisions with complete consideration of good and bad.
3. Research Into Webinar Topic
The webinar topic is “Sexuality education in schools”. In recent past years, there are many issues which are get promoted without any awareness and education about sexuality. Entire families are facing a different kind of issues (Shirai, Tsujimura, Abdelhamed, & Horie, 2018). Some families children faced sexual harassments, some victimized by a rapist, some faced the teenage pregnancy, and many facing the diseases which are prevailing with sexual relationships. Sexuality education is necessary, it can eliminate the fantasy factor in which our teenager is living (Breuner, Mattson, & Health., 2016). Innocent adolescence is not aware that how much it could destroy them. How someone can make them victim without there any type of notice and awareness. In innocence and unawareness lot of children f.

Summary of teaching plan
Title: Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Overview
Sexually Transmitted Diseases are diseases that are transmitted from one person to another during oral, anal and vaginal sexual activities. STDs are very common especially among sexually active teenagers and a number of them don’t have the symptoms making it hard to tell if one has contacted one. STDs are very dangerous to one’s health however, it can be detected when one is tested and majority of them have a cure (Bouchery, Harwood, and Brewer, 2014). STDs are preventable with abstinence and safe sexual practices; one is likely not to contract the disease. Examples of the STDs are: chlamydia, genital warts, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, herpes, HIV and AIDS, Human Papillomavirus, scabies, syphilis and trichomoniais (Stingler, Neusel, and Perry, 2013).
Objectives
1. To help the teenagers understand what STDs are as well as ways one can contract them
2. To teach the teenagers some of the preventive measures of contracting STDs.
3. To educate the teenagers on measures on should take incase exposed to an environment one is likely to contract STDs
4. To help the teenagers differentiate the myths from the facts regarding STDs
Materials
Video clips featuring adults and teenage experts, Graphic power point presentations
STD pamphlets, Writing materials: Pens and Plain papers, Teacher’s laptop, overhead screen
Estimated cost: Overhead screen will be offered by the church, additional materials needed about $45-$80
Directions
The learning sessions was grouped into four different sessions lasting approximately 30 to 45 minutes. In the first session, it was purely teaching session where I addressed all the objectives in a classroom setting and the teenagers were allowed to take notes. Teaching was enhanced with graphic power points to help create a visual understanding of the different concepts put across. The second session on the other hand was purely audio visual where the teenagers were allowed to view different Video clips featuring adults and teenage experts expounding on sexually, transmitted disease. The audio-visual session also addressed all the objectives just as the case was in the classroom set up in session one.
The third session was an open forum where the teenagers were allowed to ask questions, seek clarification on different issues or add more insight on concept learned. This session was an interactive one where all disturbing questions was addressed. The end of this session was marked by satisfactory response to all questions and insight brought forward by both the teacher and the teenagers.
The fourth and final session was an examination setup where each of the participants were given a quick test to test their understanding for the concepts learnt. Those who performed exemplary were awarded certificates and gifts and the whole were issued pa.

1 Chapter 6 Methods of Measuring Behavior
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT IN THIS CHAPTER:
· • The use of different methods of measuring behavior and collecting data
· • What a test is
· • How different types of tests are designed to assess different types of behavior
· • The use of achievement tests in the behavioral and social sciences
· • The design of multiple-choice items
· • How to do an item analysis
· • The application of attitude scales
· • The difference between Thurstone and Likert attitude scales
In Chapter 5, you got a healthy dose of the theoretical issues that provide the foundation for the science of measurement, why measurement is crucial to the research process, how reliability and validity are defined, and how each of these can be established.
In this chapter, you will begin learning about the application of some of these principles as you read about different methods that can be used to measure behavior, including the ubiquitous test, the questionnaire, the interview, and other techniques.
As you read this chapter, keep several things in mind. Your foremost concern in deciding what method you will use to measure the behavior of interest should be whether the tool you intend to use is a reliable and valid one. This is equally true for the best-designed test and for the most informal-appearing interview. If your test does not “work,” then virtually nothing else will.
Second, the way in which you ask your question will determine the way in which you go about measuring the variables that interest you. If you want to know about how people feel toward a particular issue, then you are talking about attitudinal scales. If you want to know how much information people have about a particular subject, then you are talking about an achievement test or some other measure of knowledge. The focus of a study (such as the effects of unemployment on self-esteem) might be the same, whether you measure attitude or achievement, but what you use to assess your outcome variable depends on the question you ask. You need to decide the intent of your research activity, which in turn reflects your original research question and hypothesis.
Third, really efficient researchers are fully onboard for using whatever method helps them answer the questions that are being asked. This might include a mixed-methods model where one aspect of a research program might include qualitative methods while another might include qualitative methods (see Chapter 10). As research questions and their associated hypotheses become more intricate and complex, the creative side of using a particular research method correctly becomes more important.
Finally, keep in mind that methods vary widely in the time it takes to learn how to use them, in the measurement process itself, and in what you can do with the information once you have collected it. For example, an interview might be appropriate to determine how teachers feel about chang.

NP5. March 22, 2020
NP6. Introduction
NP7. This paper will analyze the question, would removing the protected class designation on 'sex' make a more robust, more competitive workforce, by equalizing the playing the field for men and women. 8. Addressing the question will involve defining and applying moral imagination, moral courage, Dr. Laura's Three Prerequisites for Assigning Moral Credit of Culpability, Utilitarianism, Kantian Ethics, Intersecting Circle's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Model, Strict Liability Theory, Kohlberg's Moral Development Model, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Model, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
NP9. EEOC Laws and Protected Classes
NP10. Protected classes are the groups protected from employment discrimination by law. 11. These groups include men and women based on sex; any group which shares a common race, religion, color, or national origin; people over 40; and people with physical or mental handicaps” 11a. (NARA, 2020, para 36). 12. The designation of a protected class requires employers to abide by the EEOC Laws. 13. The EEOC Laws are “five laws which prohibit discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, physical handicap and mental handicap in any terms, conditions, or privileges of employment” 13a. (NARA, 2020, para 16). 14. The applicable laws were designed to “correct a history of unfavorable treatment of women and minority group members” 14a. (NARA, 2020, para 36). 15. Although men and women cannot be discriminated against based on sex, the protected class of sex was designed to prevent discrimination of women in the workplace. 16. The analysis throughout the paper will focus on this fact, and decide if removing sex as a protected class will make the workforce more competitive.
NP17. Moral Courage and Moral Imagination
NP18. Looking at removing a protected class will involve looking at the question from multiple perspectives, this requires moral imagination. 19. Biasucci, Hernandez, and Prentice, 19a. (2020, para 1) say, "Moral imagination, according to philosopher Mark Johnson, means envisioning the full range of possibilities in a particular situation in order to solve an ethical challenge." 20. One view is that the workforce is handing out jobs to women over men, for fear of discriminating accusations. 21. If sex is no longer a protected class, then companies would be able to select the qualified individual without fear of reprisal. 22. Another way of looking at the issue is from the actual definition of protected classes. 23. Sex is a protected class, meaning that both men and women are technically protected from discrimination. 24. From this viewpoint, companies could be accused by both men and women if they feel they employers actively discriminated against them. 25. .

Combatting Senior Isolation with Volunteerism
Senior isolation is a social issue that many of our senior citizens face today. It is estimated that 40% of our senior population suffers from senior isolation. Senior isolation in the elderly has been linked to an increase in illnesses, mortality, depression, elder abuse and a higher incidence of the elderly needing long term care services. It is one of the largest risks to our aging senior’s health and well-being. Volunteer work can help combat senior isolation and have a positive impact on a senior’s health. Senior citizens make up 15.2 percent of the total population of the United States according to the 2016 census bureau and it is reported that by 2060 the number of senior citizens will double. Senior volunteer programs that promote involvement can assist in combating isolation and the negative health consequences while keeping our seniors healthy and active within their communities.
Senior Corps is an organization that currently engages roughly 220,000 older adults between the ages of 55 and above within America in service to their communities through its Foster Grandparent, Senior companion and RSVP programs according to Nationalservice.gov. Utilizing the strengths and assets of our seniors today not only keeps our seniors from isolation but also benefits the communities in which they live. The primary focus of Senior corps is to utilize the strengths, skills and attributes of seniors 55 and above to help tutor, mentor, care for and volunteer to meet the needs of others within their community while also having mutually positive benefits to the health and wellness of the aging senior population. Senior Corp programs not only improve the lives of those served but also the lives of the senior volunteers. Service learning opportunities within Senior Corps could produce beneficial outcomes for the American communities that Senior Corps volunteers, the partnering universities and the student service learners reside. The collegiate service learning students can play an instrumental role in increasing awareness with marketing strategies including recruitment events and informative meetings to promote participation, and enrollment into the programs. Creating and implementing marketing plans while utilizing their technology skills and social media platforms, collegiate service learners can assist Senior Corps in increasing the number of senior volunteers enrolled within each of the programs. Intergenerational learning can promote valuable relationships and partnerships that help bridge the generation gap. Service learners in intergeneration settings report “positive outcomes related to a better understanding of the older generation, enjoyment of interacting with the elders, appreciation of the life exp.

The American Red Cross is an organization with immeasurable commitment to provision of compassionate care to people who are in need in America. As such, this is their mission and their budget epitomizes this. The largest chunk of the income that is mainly received from grants from governments and organizations as well as donations from organizations is spent on humanitarian activities. For the year 2018, 91.85% of the $0.5 billion that was raised from the aforementioned sources was used in humanitarian activities. These included helping people who needed care in in disasters in the shortest notice, ensuring and maintaining community health especially by being in the frontline to deliver blood to patients who needed it in our health facilities. The organization recognizes the importance of mitigating disasters before they happen and therefore set aside $1,659,000 that was used to keep teams ready to stop a disaster before it happened or minimize injury or loss of life as much as possible. This is in line with the organizations principle of being proactive rather than react to disasters when they happen.
The American Red Cross has a total 12,534 permanent employees spread all over the nation to offer humanitarian help whenever and wherever it is needed (Hutchinson, 2018). These are selfless individuals who are always risking their lives to save others’. The organization therefore aims at giving the employees the best working conditions given the circumstances and making sure that they stay safe as much as possible while delivering help. As such, American Red Cross buys the best equipment and vehicles to help the employees as well as volunteers in humanitarian work to get to sites of disasters in the shortest time possible and safely. This is why the company has invested in top notch ambulances that have lifesaving equipment that may be used by the employees to save lives in an occurrence of a disaster.
As indicated above, funds that are used by the organization to finance its operations as well as management are received from state and federal government, and international organizations as grants or from the public as donations. Often times, the funders wish to know how the funds that they give out the cause of saving human lives through humanitarian assistance is used (Schnupp & Möller 2018). The organization therefore posts its official budget on its official website where it can be accessed by all people. In the last 5 years, the donations have been on the rise and this is a good indicator that the people who fund the organizations are happy about how the money they give to it is being used.
One of the key strengths in the company is the manner in which the employees relate with each other and the organization at large. The organization appreciates the selflessness of the people working there. As such, employee retreats are held.

Article I Journal Title: Achieving consumer trust on Twitter via CSR communication
The research seeks to establish means that can be used by companies to relay information on corporate social responsibility on social media platforms particularly twitter in an effective manner. It suggests that the involvement of the consumers and the consumer’s own processing mechanisms have a very vital role in so far as an evaluation of the trustworthiness of the companies is concerned.
The topic explored is very relevant since we have seen a continuous trend where various organizations are becoming more and more under pressure when it comes to communicating organizational policies and organizational positions as pertains to corporate social responsibility (CSR). Every market segment needs to be informed about the organization’s good intentions as well as actions so as to have an impression that the corporation is trustworthy. This implies that the market demand that their corporations engage them through dialogue. Notably, the existing academic literature does not have empirical research that seeks to examine impact of asymmetric versus symmetric communication strategies to the consumers.
Research Questions
i. Which strategies have corporations used in communication with their stakeholders about social corporate responsibility initiatives?
ii. Which of the two communication strategies, asymmetric communication and symmetric communication is more effective?
iii. What is the role of stakeholder’s personal information processing mechanisms when it comes to evaluation of trustworthiness of corporations?
Hypothesis
The first hypothesis (H1) states: Asymmetric vs. symmetric CSR communication strategies will have differing impacts on consumer trust in the organization. The second hypothesis (H2) states: Consumer trust is higher among the consumers with high involvement (those being a “green” consumer in symmetric communication.
Considering the hypotheses, it clearly emerges that they are closely linked to the study questions. The formulated questions point into integrated communication approach as used in organizations with particular attention being paid to the relevance of the communication approached to corporate social responsibility. They further go on to address and draw parallels between innovative approaches such as symmetric and asymmetric communication techniques and their impacts on the stakeholders. The above are further captured in the hypotheses especially when we look at the consumer concerns about an organization’s initiatives on social corporate responsibility. For instance, scepticism green consumers have on CSR been capture by H2. Generally, green consumers are very much conscious about the environmental impacts of their purchase as we.

Self-Injurious Behavior
For this final assignment a research of self-injurious behavior has been conducted. Self-injurious behavior, also known as SIB, is described an instance of behavior that results in physical injury to a person’s own body. SIB includes head banging, using objects to cut or puncture self, pinching self, consuming inedible substances, vomiting, pulling own hair, sucking, biting, scratching body parts and use of drugs, among others (Yang, 2003). SIB, is usually displayed by individuals with autism and intellectual disabilities. SIB can result in serious injuries and in severe cases even death. According to Yang (2003), the treatment of SIB has become one of the most serious issues for clinicians and other professionals due to the injury, risk, prevalence, and cost involved.
Article 1
Overview
The first article discussed is "Combination of extinction and protective measures in the treatment of severely self-injurious behavior" by Lizen Yang from Behavioral interventions journal. Yang explores and discusses the advantages of using extinction in conjunction with the non-intrusive protective measures to treat SIB. In the study, extinction in combination with non-intrusive protective measures was selected as the intervention strategy to reduce SIB.
Subjects and setting
The study was conducted on two adolescent females with profound mental retardation and physical disabilities at a state facility. Both subjects exhibited self-injurious behavior (SIB) and had been wearing restrains mechanisms for more than two years to prevent injuries. The treatment sessions were conducted in the morning for one of the subjects and in the afternoon for the other subject in a multipurpose 12’ x 13’room in their residential building. The room contained a table, a desk, and three chairs. Fingernail clippers, a pair of scissors, and a bottle of white petroleum jelly were used, since the target behavior for both subjects was scratching. There was a radio playing soft music at a moderate volume during sessions. There also were several audio and visual activity materials available and placed on the table within the participants’ reach at all times during treatment. During sessions, only the therapist and the participant were in the room.
Design and results
Event recording was used to collect data during each 30 minute treatment session. Two hand held counters were used to record the target behavior. In order to constantly analyze data, and monitor the behavior, as well as avoiding possible medical concerns, each treatment session was divided into three 10 minute intervals. Initially a within-subject reversal design was in which baseline (A) and treatment (B) were alternated in an ABAB sequence, but due to frequent and severe self-injuries and for safety reas.

Abstract
The concept of trusted computing has been in existence for a very long time. It has had an influence on security systems and solutions. In this paper, I will explain the history of TCB. Ways to implement trusted base computing. I will also explain some of the barriers and how to bypass them.
Introduction
The trusted computing base contains hardware, firmware and software that are essential in establishing as well as maintaining security. Moreover, it also includes an operating system with all specific system hardware, in-built security control, software and network hardware, (Ranganathan, 2017). When designing a trusted computing base provision such as access control, giving privileges, user authentication support, authorization of particular processes or systems, backing up information and protection against viruses and malware. It is the responsibility of a trusted computing base to maintain the integrity and confidentiality of information. It monitors the input and output operations.
History
In December 1985, the United States Department of Defense put out the trusted computing system evaluating criteria that well-defined TCB. TCB can be understood when it performs as a centralized, trusted entity, (Scott-Nash, et al., 2016). The structures that get the uppermost level security accredited and certification have a centralized system design. The TCSEC accepted the view of peer trusted nodes describing them as members of the NTCB which protects the network system including the firmware, software and hardware. This combination is responsible for enforcing a security policy.
How is the model implemented?
TCB contains four security mechanisms, including authentication and identification, auditing, labelling and security policy. In order to understand how TCB is implemented and work. Let’s take the example of a bank—one of the most trusted icons in society today. When we make deposits, the money is recorded and safeguarded. It will be available when we want it back. We hardly consider the security mechanism in the back since we trust the banking system. All the mechanisms of TCB are in place. Before withdrawing money from the account, one is required to identify and authenticate themselves to the teller with the account number and signature. There is also discretionary access control that is who is authorized to withdraw money from the account. There are very few clerical problems since all the transactions that take place are audited. In development, the environment has to enforce the security model. Other concepts that are used when developing TCB include memory protection and handle, (Noorman, et al., 2019). This falls under the NIST requirement for assurance. When implementing TCB, it is essential to ensure that the application meets the basic requirements of NIST.

Abstract
Many organizations and enterprises have adopted the practice of storage of data in the cloud as it is fast, efficient and reliable. It has eliminated the challenge of loss of data and made it easier to retrieve data. Enterprises are therefore able to thrive in the current era where clients require their needs to be met quickly and in their desired timing. However it is faced with the challenge of security, many do not understand their responsibility of making sure that the data is secure. The storage of data in the clouds has decentralized the IT department because in most cases they are not in control of the data due to the ease of access to the various cloud service providers, different departments within an enterprise which have different service providers. The security mechanisms are not comprehensive to cater to all the service providers. Requiring one to use multiple security measures. Hence there exist several loopholes that can be exploited by criminals impairing the steady operations of the victims. Imposing security on the cloud requires that a mechanism is put in place to not only protect but also detect the threats. This will help in planning how to counter react to any possible threat. It does also ensure that there is a study of the trends of such crimes.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Balanced scorecard
A balanced scorecard is a concept used by managers to analyze
their business using four different perspectives. It helps to
provide a customer’s perspective, the organization’s internal
perspective, the innovation and learning perspective and the
financial perspective. The advantage for this measure is that it
reduces the data overload by minimizing the number of required
measures.
The mission statement of the organization is used to determine
the customer perspective. This is helps to frame how the
2. customer views the organization. The mission for the
organization is to become a leader in delivering products used
in laboratory testing. The concerns of the customer deal with
time, quality, cost and performance and service. The company
has been able to deliver orders made by customers within a
short lead time except for few instances when suppliers had
failed to deliver the raw materials within the stipulated time.
The quality of the products it delivers has been undisputed. The
cost of the products is also competitive in the market when
compared to those of the competitors. This has helped the
organization to gain a substantial market base. Convenience has
been created for the customers by carrying out delivery to their
preferred destination. Under this goals and achievements, it can
be concluded that the organization is preferred by many
customers (Kaplan & Norton, 1992).
Company based measures are important as they dictate how the
organization meets the customer’s needs. Quality is the main
concern for the organization’s customers and therefore,
measures should be put in place to ensure that the final products
are of good quality. This can be achieved through the selection
of the best suppliers based on the quality of their raw materials
rather than the price. This was achieved in the process of
supplier selection and the continuous evaluation of the suppliers
to ensure that they maintain the quality. The processes
undertaken to produce the products used in laboratory settings
are also meticulously monitored and improvements made over
time. This means that the quality increases with time and this
ensures that the internal metric of quality is achieved (Kaplan &
Norton, 1992).
Innovation and learning is part of the culture within the
organization. There is a research and development department
within the organization whose sole purpose is to carry out
research and come up with new and improved products. These
are aimed at meeting the ever changing needs of the consumer.
The financial perspective of the organization is also promising
since the profitability has increased. The company has
3. experienced growth and this has placed it in a better position to
bargain for lower supply costs. It has been able to enjoy the
benefits of economies of scale (Kaplan & Norton, 1992).
Total cost of ownership
Total cost of ownership (TCO) is different from the
procurement approach because it does not account for the
purchase price only. Other costs associated with the supply
include storage, taxes, shipping, insurance and disposal. The
raw materials that are purchased some of them are perishable
such as the hearts of pigs. Although there might be an
advantage in buying bulk, it is advisable to buy in small
quantities that are required in the manufacturing process. This
prevents any losses from being incurred in the form of
deterioration when the raw material is purchased in large
quantities (Plues, 2012).
There are several other factors to be considered in TCO model.
First is the supply partner development costs. There are costs
associated with the development of the partnership and this
should be proportional to the value that the supplier brings to
the organization. An example is for the turkey legs; it is
advisable to look for a supplier that will supply the muscles
only rather than the whole leg for the organization to obtain
muscle from it. This reduces the manufacturing costs associated
with the product. The location of the supplier is also important
as it determines the shipping cost and time. Although a supplier
may have quality products at a lower price, their location may
disqualify them because the shipping cost and time taken to
transport them ultimately makes the product expensive.
Therefore, it is advisable to source for raw materials in a nearby
location (Lancione, 2018).
There are various costs associated with the quality of the raw
materials. Low quality raw materials lead to low quality final
products and disappointment by the customer. There are also
costs associated with returns when the quality is not good. Low
quality also presents safety issues. It is therefore advisable to
choose high quality suppliers to avoid the costs associated with
4. low quality. The payment terms should also be clearly outlined.
Payment to the suppliers should be done after delivery and not
before as this would hurt the cash flow and places the
organization at risk. The procurement department should also
protect the organization from potential cost fluctuations by
choosing to purchase a position in the foreign currency for the
price at that point in time (Lancione, 2018).

SUPPLIER SELECTION REPORT

Supplier Selection Report
Zachary T. Trigger
UMCG
Purchasing Management
Professor James Swaim
February 2, 2020
The criteria for the selection of suppliers has significantly
changed over the years. In the past, price was utilized as the
primary criteria for the selection of suppliers together with
location and preferences. However, there has been a greater
emphasis on food safety and quality hence the need to improve
8. on the quality of raw materials supplied. Choosing the right
suppliers can help an organization to meet and supersede the set
regulatory standards while increasing consumer demand and
building the brand reputation. The supplier that is chosen has to
be able to deliver quality and safe ingredients which will
translate to quality and safe end products for the consumer
(Eldridge, 2012).
Identifying the appropriate supplier is a costly affair but has
significant results if done in the correct manner. The opinions
of the stakeholders are sought to determine the appropriate
criteria to follow in selecting a supplier. Some of the
stakeholders include members of the research and development,
processing, quality assurance, marketing and purchasing among
others. After the identification of the appropriate criteria
potential suppliers are identified and their capabilities and
pricing is compared. This stage involves working with the
potential suppliers and maintaining open communication where
the manufacturer explains to the supplier the manufacturing
process. While cost is a significant driver, value is paramount
and it should be key in selecting the appropriate supplier. Some
of the factors which contribute towards value include delivery
commitments, responsiveness and reliability, hard and soft
resource savings and customer service (Eldridge, 2012).
The raw materials that are being sought are highly perishable
and one criteria for the supplier is that it should be able to reach
9. the company in a fresh state. This should be one of the factors
to look for when sourcing for the supplier. Because of the
sensitive nature of the raw materials that are required, it is
paramount that the supplier is able to assure of the quality of
the raw materials they will be supplying. For example, the
supplier for hearts from pigs should have a pig farm rather than
outsourcing from another farm. This way, they are able to raise
the pigs to standard and consequently they will have good
quantity hearts to serve the purpose aimed at by the company.
This is carried out on all of the other required raw materials.
Before signing the contact, there is need to carry out an audit on
the suppliers to determine whether or not they have the capacity
to deliver. The audit is carried out to enable the determination
of whether the supplier is compliant or has some significant
compliance or quality system failures. These shortcomings have
a significant impact on the supplier’s capability to produce top
quality products. This procedure is carried out on the best
suited supplier since it is a costly process and it aims at
protecting the manufacturers from contracting a supplier that
may be good in the books but this does not match the actual
situation of the company. The audit also aims at helping the
company to understand the weaknesses and strengths of the
supplier before the relationship is made official. Therefore, by
carrying out an audit of the suppliers, the company is able to
determine the capability of the supplier to meet the company’s
10. requirements (Assemblymag, 2001).
Evaluating the performance of a supplier is important to grade
them and determine whether or not the partnership will
continue. Evaluation can be carried out through a self-
assessment questionnaire by the suppliers. This helps the
supplier to identify any existing gaps ad take the appropriate
measures towards covering them. It also helps the company to
understand how the supplier understands its operations and
whether or not they are willing to make improvements on
existing discrepancies. The company should also set up
appropriate metrics with which the measurement of performance
can be carried out. Some of the metrics which can be used
include lots that are rejected, documentation errors and perfect
shipments among many others. The metrics allows for the
categorization of the supplier as either full partner, associate
partner, high risk or incapable. A full partner is a supplier that
has been able to meet all the company’s expectations and can be
trusted to supply quality raw materials to the manufacturer. An
associate partner is a supplier that falls short of the expectations
and needs to put in more effort so as to attain the status of a full
partner. High risk supplier is utilized for current production but
it is advised not to award them with future business. An
incapable supplier does not meet the needs of the manufacturer
and hence they should be let go as soon as possible. These
categorizations help the company to know which supplier they
11. need to replace and which one they need to retain. It plays a
significant role in the continuous process of assuring quality in
the raw materials that they are supplied with (Assemblymag,
2001).
Establishing long term supplier relationships has many
advantages on the company. It leads to a reduction is costs since
there is a significant amount of resources that is associated with
searching for a supplier including months of determining the
appropriate one and setting up a relationship with them. With
long term suppliers, there is an increase in communication and
efficiency hence a smooth operation unlike in instances where
the supplier is regularly changed. With the long term
relationship, there is also room for continued improvement and
the supplier is able to better understand the needs of the
manufacturer and hence they are able to satisfy them better
(Figues, 2020). Long term suppliers are those that have been
able to achieve the metrics of full partnership and the two
entities have been able to establish a level of trust and by
working together, the company has been able to achieve and
supersede the required quality.
