Abstract
The authenticity of human resource
information has become an important factor that
affects the cost and efficiency of human resource
management. With the rapid development of
mobile devices and Internet technology, various
human resource risks caused by information
asymmetry constantly bring economic loss, and
even a fatal blow, to enterprises. Based on
Blockchain(BC), this paper aims to combine
traditional encryption technology with Internet-
distributed technology, to establish a human
resource information management model that
reduces the risk of authenticity of human resource
information. This model aims to solve the lack of
discrimination of the authenticity of human
resource information, and to provide authentic and
effective decision support information to the
human resource management of an organization.
The operation method, such as Bitcoin, is used to
certify the human resource documentations, as
well as to bind the information and the
documentation. Furthermore, human resource
information is recorded in an accounting book
based on BC technology; thus, modifying and
validating may be difficult in the entire net work.
Consensus mechanism, smart contract, accounting,
and payment functions of BC can provide the basic
support for human resource information
management. Moreover, decentralization of the
protection mechanism can be achieved to achieve
low cost and high efficiency of information transfer,
and to ensure a.

Stewarding Data : Why Financial Services Firms Need a Chief Data OfficierCapgemini
The document discusses the need for Chief Data Officers (CDOs) in financial services firms. While some financial firms were early to appoint CDOs, their roles have typically been limited to data compliance and management. The document argues that for firms to fully leverage big data opportunities and improve data governance, they need "Big Data Ready" CDOs who have responsibility for both data compliance and strategic big data initiatives. It provides recommendations for how different types of CDOs can expand their roles to become more effective big data leaders.

The document discusses the emerging role of the chief data officer (CDO) in organizations. It summarizes that as data and analytics have become more important, having a single leader dedicated to developing an enterprise-wide data strategy is necessary to fully leverage data. The CDO can envision how to use data across the organization, activate real change by using data to impact the business, and transform the culture to be more data-driven. The document outlines barriers to establishing the CDO role but emphasizes the value they provide in making organizations more competitive through their data.
1) Data management is crucial for financial firms to manage risk and generate returns, but new regulations have increased the amount of data firms must handle.
2) The document discusses challenges financial firms face in data management, including legacy systems, changing a focus to data quality, and establishing consistent data definitions across business units and regulations.
3) Interviewees note key processes like risk management, compliance, and reporting require clean, consistent data without room for error, but data transformations across systems introduce reconciliation issues and inconsistencies.
At the speed at which technology is advancing, it has become important for every industry to process this change. For wealth management, adapting to this change and tailoring the plan for every client is what we are looking at.
Prescriptions for Healthcare's Digital CIOsCognizant
This document discusses the changing role of healthcare CIOs as the industry undergoes digital transformation. It finds that CIOs must take on new roles like chief integration officer to help their organizations adopt digital capabilities. The top driver for digital adoption is improving the patient experience. CIOs must partner closely with CMOs, as marketing owns the digital customer experience. However, CIOs have unique expertise in integrating legacy systems and data that is critical for digital initiatives. Overcoming barriers like limited budgets and legacy systems will require CIO leadership.

Historically, financial services firms have struggled to target and tailor their product offerings to the customer journey. Often only traditional demographic information – gender, age, occupation – is collected with no real insight as to what life stage a customer is in and how this could influence their financial activity.
To compete in a consumer-empowered economy, it is increasingly clear that financial services firms must leverage their information assets to gain a comprehensive understanding of markets, customers, channels, products, regulations, competitors, suppliers, employees and more.

The document discusses a memo from a CIO to a CEO providing an update on information security and ethics at a gaming organization called Vampire Legends. It analyzes the organization's information security components and budget allocation strategies, discusses a phishing scam security breach, and examines the role of ethics in addressing the breach and impact on revenue. The CIO recommends strategy B for budget allocation, transparency about the security breach, and long-term measures to improve security and prevent future breaches.
The document summarizes key insights from a study of over 4,000 C-level executives, including 342 Chief Human Resource Officers, about how HR functions need to transform to support "customer-activated" organizations. The main points are:
1) HR must focus on developing new customer-facing roles and using analytics to enhance the customer experience.
2) Social/digital technologies are changing how work gets done, requiring HR to address challenges like BYOD policies and digital reputation.
3) While CHROs recognize the need to understand customers better, HR is still seen as transactional rather than strategic. Overcoming this perception is a hurdle to HR transforming.
3 Opportunities the Coronavirus Crisis Uncovers for Improving Bank OperationsConnieG2
We reveal the top three operational inefficiencies the Coronavirus outbreak and subsequent repercussions have exposed, and how to turn them into opportunities.
Business analytics is the practice of exploring and analyzing an organization's data through statistical methods to gain insights that inform business decisions. It is used by data-driven companies to treat data as a valuable asset and leverage it for competitive advantage. Successful business analytics relies on data quality, skilled analysts, and organizational commitment to data-driven decision making. Examples of business analytics uses include exploring data to find patterns, explaining results, testing previous decisions, and forecasting future outcomes.
This document discusses how artificial intelligence is transforming the financial services industry. It begins by describing how AI technologies like chatbots, robotic process automation, and augmented intelligence are automating tasks and creating hybrid digital-human workforces. This reduces costs and processing times. The document also discusses how fintech partnerships are bringing new digitally-based processes and helping traditional financial institutions innovate. Finally, it explains that while AI provides opportunities, financial institutions must invest in integrating technologies and developing new operating models to fully realize the benefits of AI.
The pandemic has left an indelible mark on the banking industry, catalyzing a rapid shift towards digital transformation the way banks operate. This transformation has brought about both challenges and opportunities, prompting experts to offer nuanced opinions on the impact of increased online services and its ripple effects on traditional and digital banking.

This document discusses disruption in the wealth management industry through three papers. The first paper discusses how major disruption is inevitable due to long periods of inertia in the industry and changing client needs. The second paper emphasizes the importance of institutionalizing data sharing across departments to improve client experiences and business strategy. The third paper discusses how technology can help facilitate more holistic advisory approaches to better meet client needs over time.
To answer new digital challenges (faster business cycles, new risks and need for more firm-level integration), companies need firm-level governance around their digital initiatives. Too often digital is left to grow organically, generally in a series of silos or managed from just one perspective of the business. In this paper the importance of governance of digital initiative is explored in detail, with working models, and some case studies from companies across different industries.
IT talent is in high demand but short supply, making recruitment and retention a challenge. While most companies have not increased salaries to keep pace with the market, those that offer higher pay see benefits like reduced turnover rates and fewer open positions. One example showed a company that increased salaries by 10% experienced $800,000 in annual cost savings from lower turnover and vacancies compared to a company that did not raise pay.

NURS 6050: Policy and Advocacy for Improving Population Health
Walden University
In 2010 The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was enacted; the hope was to expand access to medical care, make coverage more affordable, and decrease the number of people without medical insurance. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) expanded and improved health insurance coverage in two primary ways. First, the number of individuals receiving insurance coverage grown by increasing access to coverage through Medicaid expansion and providing subsidies to purchase private insurance on the health care exchanges. Second, the ACA upgraded the quality and scope of coverage by improving benefit design, including implementing the essential health benefits (Willison & Singer, 2017). People who did not have coverage through their employer or Medicaid were required to purchase insurance through the Marketplace. The Marketplace was created as a one-stop-shop for people to view multiple plans and purchase insurance. Just because you have access to health care insurance does not mean you are going to receive quality health care (Teitelbaum, 2018).
Both parties have asked that the ACA be repealed or replaced for multiple reasons. Every Republican presidential candidate for 2016 has called for the repeal of the ACA. Some, but not all, Republican candidates have proposed health policies that they would like to put in place after repeal, but there is no broad agreement on a replacement for the ACA (Buettgens & Blumberg, 2016). The federal government would spend $90.9 billion less on health care for the nonelderly in 2021 if the ACA were repealed (Buettgens & Blumberg, 2016). State governments as a whole would spend $5.2 billion more on health care for the nonelderly in 2021 if the ACA were repealed (Buettgens & Blumberg, 2016). Healthcare is a priority to many Americans for obvious reasons; it was more costly for those with preexisting conditions before the ACA to obtain Medical Insurance. With the ACA the income guidelines for Medicaid where changed so additional people qualified that didn’t prior. As a Behavioral Health Nurse, I am a fan of anyone and everyone having access to Healthcare Services. I have seen to many times my patient not have the money for their medications because insurance was canceled so they go off their medications, they become unstable and ended up in the Emergency Department and admitted Inpatient, costing more money, hurting themselves and their loved ones.
Politicians are aware that election time is the best time to play the tug of war game with the heavy ticket items to capture someone votes. Republicans ran hard on promises to get rid of the law in every election since it passed in 2010. But when the GOP finally got control of the House, the Senate and the White House in 2017, Republicans found
they could not reach agreement
on how to "repeal and replace" the law (Kaiser Health News, 2018). And political strategists s.

I have worked in an outpatient behavioral health clinic for the past seven years with many different providers. I live in a rural community, many patients wait six to twelve months to be seen. Patients being treated for Attention Deficit Disorder must be officially tested before being seen by a Psychologist. For this discussion board post, I have changed the name of my patient to Paul to ensure patient confidentially. The provider I worked with this particular patient will also be referred to as PMHNP to ensure provider confidentiality.
Paul was a ten-year-old Caucasian male referred to our clinic diagnosed per DSM criteria, confirmed via Psychologist testing with ADHD. When he saw the Psychologist, he was also diagnosed with mild depression and anxiety. He struggled with concentration, hyperactivity, impulse control, and disorganization. He presented to his appointment with his mother and father, clean, well-nourished, pleasant, interactive with staff, reported no medication allergies, current medication Zyrtec for seasonal allergies. Paul just had his well-child exam and is current on vaccinations and his primary care provider completed lab work to include CBC, CMP, TSH, Vit D, B12, and A1C, all have returned normal. Family history reported father has a history of ADHD (never medicated), brother has a history of depression and anxiety (never medicated treating with psychotherapy), no other significant family history to report. Paul’s current weight at his appointment was 30kg.
PMHNP spent one hour with Paul and his parents for the initial new patient appointment (Thursday). It was decided Paul would be prescribed Strattera (atomoxetine) 40mg once a day for one week then increase to 80mg once a day. I returned to work on Monday and received a call from Paul’s mom, she said he was acting strange. He was tearful, had been in his room with the door closed for most of the weekend, she stated on Sunday she went into his room and he was crying and said he was just thinking about dying and his parents dying. She stated he had already had his meds Sunday so she kept him with her that entire day and made Sunday night a campout night in the Livingroom so he would think it was fun and she could keep a close eye on him. I had a cancelation that morning for him to come to see PMHNP and he was in to see her within twenty minutes and removed from Strattera. His parents decided medications were no longer the route they wanted to try for treatment and a referral was made for psychotherapy.
The only medication Paul takes on occasion is Zyrtec which is in an antihistamine drug class, Strattera is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor; there is no known drug interaction between the two medications. Reflecting on his age and the medication, Strattera has a black box labeled for suicidal ideation with adolescents dia.

When he saw the Psychologist, he was also diagnosed with mild depression and anxiety. He struggled with concentration, hyperactivity, impulse control, and disorganization. He presented to his appointment with his mother and father, clean, well-nourished, pleasant, interactive with staff, reported no medication allergies, current medication Zyrtec for seasonal allergies. Paul just had his well-child exam and is current on vaccinations and his primary care provider completed lab work to include CBC, CMP, TSH, Vit D, B12, and A1C, all have returned normal. Family history reported father has a history of ADHD (never medicated), brother has a history of depression and anxiety (never medicated treating with psychotherapy), no other significant family history to report. Paul’s current weight at his appointment was 30kg.
PMHNP spent one hour with Paul and his parents for the initial new patient appointment (Thursday). It was decided Paul would be prescribed Strattera (atomoxetine) 40mg once a day for one week then increase to 80mg once a day. I returned to work on Monday and received a call from Paul’s mom, she said he was acting strange. He was tearful, had been in his room with the door closed for most of the weekend, she stated on Sunday she went into his room and he was crying and said he was just thinking about dying and his parents dying. She stated he had already had his meds Sunday so she kept him with her that entire day and made Sunday night a campout night in the Livingroom so he would think it was fun and she could keep a close eye on him. I had a cancelation that morning for him to come to see PMHNP and he was in to see her within twenty minutes and removed from Strattera. His parents decided medications were no longer the route they wanted to try for treatment and a referral was made for psychotherapy.
The only medication Paul takes on occasion is Zyrtec which is in an antihistamine drug class, Strattera is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor; there is no known drug interaction between the two medications. Reflecting on his age and the medication, Strattera has a black box labeled for suicidal ideation with adolescents dia.

Melissa Shortridge
Week 6
COLLAPSE
My own attitude has changed from lack of understanding to enlightenment over the years. In elementary school I never experienced students with disabilities in my classrooms, growing up. But as the years went on and legislation changed students with disabilities started trickling into general education classrooms. They were always ignored by other students and often times had an aide to assist them with assignments. As an adult my heart has opened up to accept all types of people. In the Pennhurst documentary, it was reiterated, they are just people (Baldini, 1968). Which is my outlook on how to treat everyone. Every single person is a human being, treat them the way you wish to be treated. Everyone no matter their race, disability or socio-economic status deserves to be treated humanely.
As an educator I have worked with several different types of students. Students from low socio-economic areas, behavioral issues, vision impairments, hearing impairments, with autism, hyper activity and down syndrome, and with all of these students I have given them my best effort to show them that they are students first. Slavin and Schunk (2017) said it best, “Each student has many characteristics, and the disability is only one of them. To define the child in terms of the disability does him or her an injustice” (p. 235). It is our role as an educator to incorporate different learning styles to give each student, regardless of disabilities, the education that they deserve.
Welcoming students with disabilities into my classroom will be an important aspect in my role as an educator. Allowing each student to feel love and acceptance by peers is important for any students success. Van Brummelen (2009) states, “ It is important to appreciate students with special needs for who they are. Always look beyond their disabilities and teach them as whole persons” (p. 208). Being an advocate for my students with learning disabilities will garner them respect and dignity that they need to be self sufficient. In the Pennhurst documentary, the children did not have complete proper advocacy from the people that worked with them. They were simply shuffled along and not given the proper education and care that they needed to be self-sufficient (Baldini, 1968). “Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked” (Psalm 82:3-4, New International Version). It is our Godly duty to defend individuals who can not defend themselves. In His eyes we are all created equal and in that we all deserve equal treatment and opportunities.

Melissa is a 15-year-old high school student. Over the last week.docxwkyra78
Melissa is a 15-year-old high school student. Over the last week, she had been feeling tired and found it difficult to stay awake in class. By the time the weekend had arrived, she developed a sore throat that made it difficult to eat and even drink. Melissa was too tired to get out of bed, and she said her head ached. On Monday morning, her mother took her to her doctor. Upon completing the physical exam, he told Melissa the lymph nodes were enlarged in her neck and she had a fever. He ordered blood tests and told Melissa he thought she had mononucleosis, a viral infection requiring much bed rest.
Innate and adaptive immune defenses work collectively in destroying invasive microorganisms. What is the interaction between macrophages and T lymphocytes during the presentation of antigen?
Melissa’s illness is caused by a virus. Where are type I interferons produced, and why are they important in combating viral infections?
Humoral immunity involves the activation of B lymphocytes and production of antibodies. What are the general mechanisms of action that make antibodies a key component of an immune response?

1. The document describes measuring the angle θ between momentum vectors of particles π- and Σ- produced in a particle interaction using a bubble chamber photograph. The angle can be determined by drawing tangents to the particle tracks and measuring the angle between them.
2. An alternative method to measure the angle not requiring a protractor is described using ratios of distances along the tangents.
3. Instructions are given to estimate uncertainties in measurements taken from repeated readings using calculations of average and standard deviation.
Measurement of the angle θ For better understanding .docxwkyra78
Measurement of the angle θ
For better understanding I am showing you a different particle track diagram bellow. Where at
point C particle 𝜋 − 𝑎𝑛𝑑 Σ− are created and the Σ− decays into 𝜋 ∓ 𝑎𝑛𝑑 K− particles
The angle θ between the π− and Σ− momentum vectors can be determined by drawing tangents
to the π− and Σ− tracks at the point of the Σ− decay. We can then measure the angle between
the tangents using a protractor. Alternative method which does not require a protractor is also
possible. Let AC and BC be the tangents to the π− and Σ− tracks respectively. Drop a
perpendicular (AB) and measure the distances AB and BC. The ratio AB/BC gives the tangent of
the angle180◦−θ. It should be noted that only some of the time will the angle θ exceed 90◦ as
shown here.
Determining the uncertainty of Measurements
In part B, It is asked to estimate the uncertainty of your measurements of 𝜃 and r.
Uncertainty of measurement is the doubt that exists about the result of any measurement. You
might think that well-made rulers, clocks and thermometers should be trustworthy, and give
the right answers. But for every measurement - even the most careful - there is always a margin
of doubt.
It is important not to confuse the terms ‘error’ and ‘uncertainty’.
Error is the difference between the measured value and the ‘true value’ of the thing being
measured.
Uncertainty is a quantification of the doubt about the measurement result
Since there is always a margin of doubt about any measurement, we need to ask ‘How big is the
margin?’ and ‘How bad is the doubt?’ Thus, two numbers are really needed in order to quantify
an uncertainty. One is the width of the margin, or interval. The other is a confidence level, and
states how sure we are that the ‘true value’ is within that margin.
You can increase the amount of information you get from your measurements by taking a
number of readings and carrying out some basic statistical calculations. The two most
important statistical calculations are to find the average or arithmetic mean, and the standard
deviation for a set of numbers.
The ‘true’ value for the standard deviation can only be found from a very large (infinite) set of
readings. From a moderate number of values, only an estimate of the standard deviation can be
found. The symbol s is usually used for the estimated standard deviation.
Suppose you have a set of n readings. Start by finding the average:
For the set of readings x={16, 19, 18, 16, 17, 19, 20, 15, 17 and 13}, the average is �̅� =
∑ 𝑥𝑖
𝑛
=
17.
Next find (𝑥𝑖 − �̅�)
2
Then 𝑠 = √
(𝑥𝑖−�̅�)
2
𝑛−1
= 2.21
Lifetime calculation
In part C you are asked to determine the life time of the neutral particles from their
momentums.
The Σ− lifetime can be approximately determined using the measured values of the Σ− track
lengths. The average momentum of the Σ− particle can be found from its initial and fin

Meaning-Making Forums 1-4 are this course's unique final project.
Be fully engaged in Phase Two!
After reviewing the readings, presentations, lecture notes, articles, and web-engagements, and previous assignments, artificially move your predetermined careseeker (i.e., Crossroads’ Careseekers: Bruce, Joshua, Brody, Justin, or Melissa) through Phase Two.
NOTE: These research-based forums require that you draw upon ALL
of the course readings and learning activities to date, in order to substantively develop each phase in our
Solution
-based, Short-term, Pastoral Counseling (SbStPC) process. Noticeably support each core assertion.
Rapport and Relational Alignment.
Briefly discuss how you will continue to build rapport and shift your relational style in order to best align with the careseeker’s style (i.e., use DISC language) and current behavioral position (i.e., attending, blaming, or willing).
Phase Two Distinctive Features.
Narrate movement of careseeker through Phase Two’s distinctive features (i.e., purpose, goal, chief aim, role/responsibility, use of guiding assumptions) and apply pertinent insights and techniques from ALL the readings, previous assignments, and the Bible.
Supportive Feedback Break.
What portrait, definition(s), key thought(s), and/or assessment insight from the
Quick Reference Guide
might be utilized in the supportive feedback technique?
Phase Two Marker.
Describe a marker that indicates you have collaboratively ‘imagineered” a picture of life without the problem. In what way does this marker indicate the careseeker is in a willing position and ready for Phase Three?
Food for Thought:
When learning a new people skill or counseling technique, is it normal to “feel” awkward and fake? Use at least 1 example and thoughtfully explain how this “feeling” might be normalized.
TIPS:
Carefully Follow Meaning-Making Forum Guidelines & Tips!
Make sure to use headings (5) so that the most inattentive reader may easily follow your thoughts.
Use the annotated outline approach. Bullets should have concise, complete, well-developed sentences or paragraphs.
Foster a “noble-minded” climate for investigating claims through well-supported core assertions (i.e., consider the validation pattern of the Bereans; Acts 17:11).
Noticeably support assertions to facilitate further investigation and to avoid the appearance of plagiarism.
Since you have the required materials (e.g.,
Masterpiece)
, abridge any related citations (Nichols, p. 12) and do not list the required source in a References’ section.
Secondary sources must follow current APA guidelines for citations and References.
Make every effort to prove that you care about the subject matter by proofreading to eliminate grammar and spelling distractions.

Project Title: Michael Joseph Place, The place to be
Project Start Date: 25/7/2018
Projected Finish Date: 25/12/2018
Budget Information: $ 4,500.00
Project Manager: Student name,[email protected], 210- 105 - 6676
Business Need
The project manager will be hosting an evening lounge event that will be targeting the clientele to an upscale lounge to be built in downtown. Through such an event the city will have a positive exposure.
There will be need for effective marketing, music, modern décor and most likely investors. The menu for food and drinks will need to be within budget. The venue needs to have amiable space and adequate seats for all guests.
The first step to this project involves coming up with a plan on a piece of paper. Once this is done the next step will involve selection of vendors to various goods and services. Once everything has been put to perspective the next stage will be to involve investors who will include local business owners. These investors will be encouraged to do so with the exchange for them to market and advertise their products at the event. We will have three packages for investors including Silver, Gold and Platinum packages.
Project Objectives
The proposal is to have a social entertainment evening lounge in Chicago. The project managers will be showcasing the new concept of entertainment by holding a series of events known as “The Place to be!”
· The events will be used to showcase the atmosphere that the new lounge will be offering
· The events will offer the professional audiences an opportunity to network while at the same time being entertained.
· The events will be targeting an audience of 150 attendants
· To have an environment where attendants can dance, dine and drink socially while discussing business.
Approach
This project will be managed in accordance with the PMI approach as modified.
Assumptions/Constraints/Dependencies
The assumption is that with the provision of an exquisite and upscale venue that is mature in Chicago, IL, will be successful due to the fact that there is no such a venue within a 100 mile radius.
One of the likely constraint is finding a venue that grabs attention of the targeted crowd.
The success of these events depends on attracting two sets of individuals. One of them is investors and the other is private professionals who will attend a social event at night.
Initial Risk Factors
· Obtaining a liquor license on time for the event is the major risk factor.
· Failure of attendees despite investing money and time is another risk.
· Failing to complete the organizational plans within 30 days before the event series begin.
· Not attracting any viable investors
Regulatory cost/impact
One of the needed licensing is from the city council where I will be required to get a special event license. This will enable us to have alcohol i.

Mediation

Mediation
Recently, I had a dispute with a friend based on sharing of roles and duties at work. If I were to use a mediation to solve the conflict I would have used facilitative mediation instead of evaluative mediation. Facilitative mediation refers to the types of solving conflicts where the mediator creates a process to assist the parties in reaching into a mutual agreement. Evaluative mediation on the other hand refers to the type of mediation where the judge helps the parties in reaching into a resolution through using the weakness of the case (Shrout & Bolger, 2017). The nature of the dispute plays a very huge role when choosing the type of mediation style to use. Since some cases can not fit well or makes it hard to find a solution when using a certain mediation style. For instance work related disputes and family related disputes require mediation that won’t seem to favor one party.
I would use transformative mediation, since it is mostly bases on improving the personal power of each party (Folberg & Taylor, 2016). Also transformative mediation mainly helps in creating a sense of understanding between the two parties through communication so as to solve the dispute. And lastly the reason why I would use the mediation is because; the process that is used does not favor one party. During the process, the mediator listens to both parties and from this he or she is able to help in making the two understand each other and be able to come into a mutual agreement.

Response 1 PD
Question 1
A set of beliefs, norms and values that is shared by a group, culture is a systemic sense that can create a common commitment to an organization’s mission. With identifying markers that extend beyond the individual, it can be represented in a fabric of shared themes and feelings. Whether displayed in forms of dress, symbols, verbal phrases or typical behaviors, its permeance can be silent in its mode of action, yet quite visible to internal and external stakeholders (Daft, 2018).
Serving two fundamental and critical functions, the culture of an organization can be a catalyst in uniting members in how they relate to one another within the organization and how the members follow the same process in relation to the outside environment (Daft, 2018). However, although it is often associated with ethical decision making (Kara, Rojas-Mendez & Turan), the element of inequality can create fear and discourse if an unrealistic and bias culture themes are dictated, thus resulting in disagreement or conflict with management. Therefore, the perception of stakeholders or groups of interest regarding the cultural practices of the organization may not be entirely correct (Gonzalez-Rodriguez, Diaz-Fernández & Biagio, 2019).
Directly related to the perception of the value system of the organization and its management, the acceptable cultural differences that shape the internal behavior of members can have an impact in external relationships (Gonzalez-Rodriguez, Diaz-Fernández & Biagio, 2019). However, as Daft (2018) noted, a mechanistic or controlling system may block any organic input,.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Abstract
4. The authenticity of human resource
information has become an important factor that
affects the cost and efficiency of human resource
management. With the rapid development of
mobile devices and Internet technology, various
human resource risks caused by information
asymmetry constantly bring economic loss, and
even a fatal blow, to enterprises. Based on
Blockchain(BC), this paper aims to combine
traditional encryption technology with Internet-
distributed technology, to establish a human
resource information management model that
reduces the risk of authenticity of human resource
information. This model aims to solve the lack of
discrimination of the authenticity of human
resource information, and to provide authentic and
effective decision support information to the
human resource management of an organization.
5. The operation method, such as Bitcoin, is used to
certify the human resource documentations, as
well as to bind the information and the
documentation. Furthermore, human resource
information is recorded in an accounting book
based on BC technology; thus, modifying and
validating may be difficult in the entire net work.
Consensus mechanism, smart contract, accounting,
and payment functions of BC can provide the basic
support for human resource information
management. Moreover, decentralization of the
protection mechanism can be achieved to achieve
low cost and high efficiency of information transfer,
and to ensure a high-performance work system in
the human resource management of enterprises.
Keywords: Blockchain; Human resources;
Information management
1. Introduction
6. With the rapid development of society and the
accelerating process of economic globalization,
enterprises face unprecedented pressures and
challenges. Human resources, as an important
carrier of knowledge, technology, and service, is
the core element of enterprise management
practice. The strategic value and significance of
human resources for the development of
organization cannot be replaced. The increasing
update of information technology has become a
powerful driving force for the rapid development
of all sectors of society. Human resource is the
primary productive force. Only retaining talent can
promote the development of the organization.
Accordingly, modern human resource management
should combine information technology with an
advanced human resource management concept,
optimize management method and mode, as well
8. qualification, and others deliberately exaggerate
their abilities. To enhance the quality of service, the
process of improving identification and
management of human resource information
authenticity has become an urgent issue that
requires solutions from the human resource and
social security department. This paper aims to
establish a human resource-oriented management
mode by introducing BC technology to reduce the
risk faced by human resource information
authenticity, thereby providing authentic and
effective decision support information for the
human resource management of an organization.
2. Analysis of risk management needs of human
resource information
Information is the key issue in human resource
management. For a long time, the authenticity of
human resource information has been in a
9. relatively ineffective regulatory state. In the
practice of human resource management, we
constantly face the following risks:
(1) Employment risk
In the labor market, the labor age value that
job seekers are willing to accept, as well as the
ability, educational background, and experience of
job seekers are the private information of
applicants. Furthermore, enterprises spend
significant costs to obtain the information, as well
as to conduct interviews and psychological tests. In
most cases, enterprises do not know if the types of
job seekers comply with the needs of organizations.
Reality shows that a relative number of job seekers
are not honest, and many enterprises do not easily
believe in the message of job seekers. Job seekers
intentionally deceive enterprises, and enterprises
cannot completely identify the types of job seekers
10. that they have to deal with. Thus, the application
process may have poor results. This practice is
simply a form of adverse selection in information
economics. Adverse selection results in increased
costs. Therefore, a high uncertainty exists in the
labor service trade, there by resulting in human
resource risks of enterprises.
(2)Risk of moral degeneration
In the process of implementing labor contracts,
enterprises frequently address the following
problems: employees are lazy and they cut corners.
Alternately, employees sell products at lower
prices to relatives and friends, or they claim back
expenses for tickets unrelated to their work. In the
process of implementing labor contracts, the
efforts of employees cannot be generally observed.
Employees know their own efforts, but managers
do not. Thus, employees may behave in an indolent
11. manner, such as contributing to non-labor.
The information is asymmetric between
enterprises and job seekers (or employees). Job
seekers have private information regarding their
types. Uncertainty occurs whether or not they
truthfully inform the enterprises about their types.
After labor contracts are assigned, uncertainty still
exists whether the employees are lazy or diligent at
work. This uncertainty poses risks to human
resources. Thus, information asymmetry is the
important reason for human resource risk.
The human resource risk information that
affects the operational efficiency of enterprises are
as below includes the following:
� demographic information of human resources,
including age, marital status, work experience
as measured by number of years, and so on;
� education and training of human resources,
including education and various training
12. experiences;
� ability of quality information of human
resources, including technical title, technical
grade, certificate, and so on;
� pay-for-performance information of human
resources, including assessment result, salary
incentive, promotion, and so on;
� incentive information of human resources,
including various certificates of honor, as well
as reward and punishment information.
The risks of human resources caused by
information asymmetry constantly bring economic
loss to enterprises, even causing a fatal blow.
Therefore, developing a new human resource
management modeis imperative to effectively solve
employment risk and the risk of moral
degeneration in human resource management.
3. Blockchain Technology model
3.1Introduction to Blockchain technology
The concept of a BC was initially presented by
13. Satoshi Nakamoto in a paper titled “Bitcoin:A Peer-to-
Peer Electronic Cash System,” which was published in
2008. A BC is a type of new decentralization data
framework. It is commonly owned, managed, and
supervised by all nodes in the network, without
accepting a single control. This technology is the core
of Bitcoin and other new digital encryption currencies.
Many well-known banks and insurance companies, as
well as brokers and future companies worldwide have
made technical development in the field of BCs. They
used blockchain-based Bitcoin and other electric
currencies in related commercial systems or
application services.
Blockchain technology is a type of technical
program to save, validate, transfer, and communicate
network data through its own distributed node without
depending on a third party. Based on agreed
regulations and agreements (similar to hash algorithm
and various mathematical algorithms adopted by
Bitcoin), all nodes can automatically and safely
validate and exchange data in the system without any
human intervention. A BC is a series of data blocks
generated from the association with the cryptography
method. Each block contains all network trade
169

Cumberlands. Downloaded on May 26,2020 at 22:12:31 UTC
from IEEE Xplore. Restrictions apply.
information in the last 10minutes, which is used to
14. verify the validity of the information (anti-fake
mechanism) and to form a next block. A BC has the
following main features:
(1) Decentralized structure. Blockchain
technology does not rely on third management
organizations or hardware facilities; without
central control, all nodes realize information self-
validation, transmission, and management.
Decentralization is the most prominent and
essential feature of BC.
(2) Trustlessness. Data exchange in the system
does not require nodes to trust one another. The
operation regulations of the entire system and all data
contents are open and transparent. Therefore, nodes
are unable to deceive each other in terms of rule scope
and time range designated by the system.
(3) Collective maintenance. Data blocks in the
system are commonly maintained by all nodes with
maintenance function in the entire system.
Furthermore, these nodes with maintenance function
can be involved by anyone.
(4) Reliability and security. When 51% of all data
nodes cannot be grasped, network data cannot be
controlled and modified without restraint. Thus, the
BC itself becomes relatively safe and is able to avoid
subjective and artificial data modification. Therefore,
15. if a greater number of nodes with strong calculation
ability are involved in the system, then the data in this
system have higher security.
(5) Open source. Blockchain technology is based
on the open-source concept. Except for the encrypted
private information of trading parties, BC data are
accessible to all people. Anyone can search the BC
data through the public interface, as well as develop
related applications. Thus, the entire system is highly
transparent.
(6) Anonymity. Nodes do not need to trust one
another except when a legal requirement exists.
Technically, the identity information of all nodes in the
block does not need to be open or verified, and
transfer can be anonymous.
3.2 Comparison of Blockchain and existing
technologies
At present, human resource information
management systems are based on the B/S or C/S
framework. Several safety factors exist in this
management mode. As a new development mode,
Blockchain technology adopts consistency
verification, Byzantine Agreement, public key and
private key encryption mechanism, including a
16. hash test and a series of security algorithms and
protocols to ensure security in management,
storage, tampering, and other aspects. With the
development of Blockchain technology, security is
guaranteed whether to the human resource
department or system users. The credibility of this
technology has been further strengthened.
Table 1 shows a comparison of three technologies
in terms of consistency verification, storage
equipment, real time, encryption mechanism,
tamper resistance, and other security aspects.

19. improved in security. Meanwhile, permission to the
management system becomes more open, and it
can effectively avoid malicious tampering of system
information from the internal staff. Therefore,
further enhancement is expected in the efficiency
of the management system. It is different with the
traditional software engineering by using C/S
architecture or B/S architecture, BC architecture
more need to consider distributed, non center,
multi-copy communication, consistency,

20. 4.1 Contents of human resource information
management
Based on the analysis of human resource risk
information, the contents of human resource
information management include the following:
(1) Basic information management of
human resources
Inclusion: employee information, contract
information, archival information, as well as
organizational and personal information. The main
information of employees should be managed,
recorded, and searched. The system sets different
permissions for people to read through the relative
contents. The staff in the human resource
department can read through assigned contract
information, new information, modified
information, and canceled information.
(2) Post-appointment and title information
management
21. Post-appointment and title information
management is one of the crucial personal system
components in China, and one of the basic
functions of personnel departments at all levels.
Professional title management is directly related to
the vital interests of many professional and
technical staff. With greater prominence in the
aspects of policy and correlation, professional title
management further relates to the enthusiasm of
professional and technical personnel; thus, these
professionals can be mobilized or protected.
(3) Training and deployment information
management
Based on the training experience and results
of human resources as well as the previous post-
deployment information, competency, job
promotion, and some post moves can be realized.
Training and post-move information of human
22. resources are recorded in a computer information
system that is promptly updated to ensure human
resource-related competency, and to promote
efficient use of human resources through efficient
allocation.
(4)Performance appraisal and salary
information management
The performance appraisal and salary information
management is the core of human resource
management. Its results, reflecting human resource
input and output, directly affect the possibility of
the promotion. The relevant information is entered
in the computer system to obtain the
corresponding performance appraisal and salary
information. Then, the relevant sheets are output
through these software information systems to
predict the investment value of human resources.
4.2 Design of human resource management
framework based on Blockchain
23. Human resource information management
based on BC is based on the establishment of a
private BC. The owners of the BC are firms or
enterprises. The BC is open to the internal staff and
is not limited to the management. Thus, the BC can
improve the transparency of the management
system, particularly in terms of training, allocation,
performance, salary, and sensitive information. It is
highly significant to be fair, impartial, open, and
improves the credibility of enterprises to establish
a good and positive atmosphere in the enterprise.
The design of a human resource information
management system is shown in Fig. 1. The system
is divided into four layers, namely, online
distributed database, basic layer of block chain,
application interface, and human resource
management system. All layers are independent,
with a certain coupling, thereby facilitating
24. software development and operation maintenance.
Fig.1Design of a human resource management
system framework based on Blockchain
4.3 Smart contract model of human resource
information management
Information asymmetry in human resource
management brings risk to enterprises. We can
design a series of contract arrangements to
stimulate and restrain the behavior of people. This
model is a contract conceived by human resource
management. It is based on the following idea: all
actions taken by individuals are for their own
interests; and the relevant information is
asymmetric between enterprises and employees.
Generally, employees grasp additional information
regarding jobs.
Once the authenticity of human resource
information is involved in the model, it is recorded
25. and embodied as a digital contract to be saved in
the accounting book. The generation of a smart
contract is an automatic behavior without artificial
intervention. Each smart contract has an unique
digital ID, which can be encrypted and embedded
in the text or on other digital carriers that record
the content of the contract. Therefore, a contract
management system can be used to ensure
effective identification and maintenance.
In this model, the BC is created and maintained
by an engineering team. The trust relationship
throughout the stem is automatically established in the
block chain, and does not need to be grasped by a
certain organization. This new human resource
171

Cumberlands. Downloaded on May 26,2020 at 22:12:31 UTC
from IEEE Xplore. Restrictions apply.
information management model successfully achieves
decentralization. Therefore, a larger number of cross
verification and supervision channels exist.
26. 4.4 Language design
To better realize the function, we propose a BC
modeling language to specify, design, develop, and
test blockchain-based applications. It needs to support
system customization and extension. BML will be a
new modeling language as existing modeling
languages do not model BCs.
In the BML framework, the detail needs should
be specified. Firstly, the personal and parties
information that involved will be shared; furthermore,
we must consider the frequency of sharing. In addition,
the security and privacy mechanisms are also
important in the model. So there is a lot of Encryption
algorithm application in the process. Taking into
account the convenience of management, there will
have the locking mechanisms in it.
Application modeling concludes the process
modeling and architecture modeling. It is can be
shown as the following:
BML is a common visual modeling language, which is
used to describe the business process and data flow in
the process of block chain development. BML is in the
UML (United Modeling Language) on the basis of
introducing the time stamp, encryption mechanism,
chain structure modeling method. BML applies to all
kinds of blockchain software development methods,
block chain software life cycle of various stages, a
variety of application areas and a variety of
development tools. BML includes the concept of
semantics, representation and description, which
provides a static, dynamic, system environment and
organizational structure of the model.
27. 4.5 Testing Blockchain Applications
Testing consistency of BC nodes will be relatively
simple as each block has been voted to be consistent
before they can be stored, and each block is encrypted
with the hash of the previous hash to ensure that these
blocks cannot be changed without detection (at least
theoretically). Testing a new block is a part of the BC
protocol.
Thus, regression testing is relatively simple as
contents in any nodes can be randomly selected for
testing, and the results should be consistent. Testing
multiple BCs is a research topic such as ABC, TBC,
SBC, HBC and DBC.
A TBC(trading blockchain) will store only
information necessary to carry out trades and
settlements only, and it will not store all the account
information for all the participating administrative
departments.
An ABC(Account blockchain) stores account
information within a management institution or a
family of institutions. For example, an ABC can store
all kinds of information about the Department staff.
A HBC(History blockchain) can record the
history of the transaction information. When you need
to check the transaction history, it
will greatly improve the efficiency of retrieval.
A DBC(Data blockchain) can will store the big
data of the detail application. In the specific
application, there may be a lot of audio, video and
28. other large amount of data storage, then you can use
DBC. This can reduce the amount of communication
and improve the processing efficiency of BC.
A SBC(Summary blockchain) can store
comprehensive records of transactions, accounts and
other information, it runs on other BC.
There is also a lot of interconnection in various
BCs. For example, TBCs and ABCs interoperate with
each other in banking applications. The traditional
software to consider the deployment and upgrade of
the server and the client, such as B/S architecture only
on the server deployment and upgrade; C/S
architecture need to be upgraded at the same time in
the server and the client. Application of block chain
based on the need to synchronize all the nodes, and
C/MS architecture, and to all the server nodes and
synchronization upgrade deploymen
5. Conclusion
This study aims to solve the information risk
of human resource management by introducing BC
technology. Establishing a human resource
information management model based on this
technology can provides are and effective
supporting information for human-resource
decision making. This model can realize the valid
29. application of human resource information at an
extremely low operation cost without any third
party. The human resource information
management model based on BC is established to
reduce the risk of authenticity of human resource
information, to solve the problem of the lack of
discrimination of the human resource information
authenticity, and promote the use efficiency and
effect of human resource management information.
