Abstract It was around the turn of the twentieth century that graduate education in business evolved into an accepted discipline in the United States of America. Today, the nation boasts more than four thousand institutions that produce the business brains of the nation. Firms of all sizes, diversity and in all countries have since then recruited business graduates to receive the specialized talent that will steer their destiny. It is talent that sets a company apart from the others and it takes great schools to groom the finest talent. The finest education is expensive, but it opens great opportunities. It makes sense to compare academic institutions so status can reinforce these institutions. Comparing and ranking business schools on their strengths encourages competition and learning about excellence in business. The top ten business schools of the nation are admirable and many young students want study in the best. This essay presents a comparison of Northwestern University’s Kellogg School and New York University’s Stern Business School, which are among the finest in the United States. Declaration I certify that, except where cited in the text, this work is the result of research carried out by the author of this study. The main content of this study contains work which is the result of the author’s own efforts. _____________________________________________ Name and Signature of Author December 2007 This report satisfies a need for a comparison of Northwestern University and New York University Business Schools.   * Biographical Sketch   * Acknowledgments   * Contents   * Introduction   * The Northwestern University Kellogg School of Management   * The New York University Leonard N.

Educational institutions should develop skills that will enable graduates to perform a job and to become lifelong learners who can indulge in constant intellectual development. However, certain educational institutions are able to provide that something extra which can be a bonus. The manner of teaching, the emphasis of the curriculum, student culture, the typical career path which students are likely to follow and the compensation that graduates are likely to command on graduation from their respective courses is important (Bouknight, 2003) . Financial aid opportunities, geographic location, diversity, international perspective and links, cost of tuition and living, class size and use of technology for teaching do make a difference to the likely prospects for those who will study at an educational institution. Distinguished faculty, the research emphasis, industry or business links and the respect which alumni has been able to win add to prestige and practical utility which can help with career success for graduates. Thus, although a lot depends on a student’s motivation and ability, it is also important to select the right school, if possible. It is even more important to select the
Summary of the reading There are several factors that can prompt women to agree on having sex, even if they do not want to. At first, researchers distinguish the feeling of obligation or even guilt (Noel, Ogle, Maisto, & Jackson, 2014, p. 9). They may believe that men have made too many sacrifices for them, and it is difficult for them to refuse. In some cases, men can evoke this sense of guilt in women (Noel et al., 2014, p. 13). Additionally, scholars pay attention to such details as men’s verbal or physical persistence. Additionally, a woman may attach importance to the social status of a man and his intelligence. Additionally, in many cases, females can be affected by peer pressure and the need for acceptance.
Justification Among the key tendencies in an international business community, there is the growing intensity of competition on a global scale and an increased focus on employee happiness in the most successful companies. Both tendencies are strictly interconnected with the quality of services and products, and they encourage more companies to improve their human resource management practices to increase their competitive advantage. Given the strong link between organizational socialization and the ability of our company to withstand competition, the creation of an on-boarding process to improve productivity and strengthen corporate culture is a pivotal task. On-Boarding Pr
Research Question and Hypothesis The primary research question is, “What are the long-term intervention effects of a wb-MRI-scan in a general population study on quality of life and depressive symptoms?” which appropriately expresses the variables’ relationship. The research question is specific to one relationship of the independent, the MRI screening, and the dependent, the participants, variables. It relies on theoretical and practical frameworks of the previously conducted studies. The study’s goal was substantiated by the absence of relevant research on the MRI’s long-term effects on quality of life. The research can be potentially used by medical personnel in order to understand how MRI scanning affects their patients’ quality of life. Review of the Literature The authors’ search strategy includes a sufficient number of databases and resources that identify the research and theoretical framework they use. The study follows a theoretical framework, which allows the authors to detect the existing gap in knowledge about the long-term psychosocial effects of MRI. There is both a summary of strengths/weaknesses that help formulate the research question and a logical literature review present. Internal and External Validity The authors designed an appropriate way to ensure internal validity, introducing a control group that did not participate in the scanning. The external validity threats were decreased by inviting adult participants of different ages and sex, which eliminated sampling bias, yet the participation in a survey bias was not addressed by the authors. Internal and external validity threats mostly do not affect the quality of evidence, since a large number of people was studied. The intervention fidelity was maintained since researchers completed the study according to the plan. Research Design The study relies upon the longitudinal cohort design, its use is appropriately justified by the nature of the research and main questions of the study. The research design increased bias by introducing pre-examination questionnaires and decreased it by carrying out the experiment on a large group of people. Sampling The research used a stratified sampling strategy by selecting 4,420 people based on age, sex, and city/county of residence, this strategy is appropriate for the design. The sample reflects the population identified in the research question, and the size of the sample is appropriate because of a large number of subjects, a power analysis was not used, and the findings can be generalized to the adult general public. Legal-Ethical Issues The study was conducted in Germany, thus, the rights of the participants were protected Patients’ rights Act (Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety, 2016). It is stated in the article that the institutional rev
Introduction Over the last decade, versatile social media and the Internet, in general, have become extremely popular as the targets for advertisement and marketing campaigns since many users and potential customers tend to spend more time browsing the net than watching TV or reading magazines. In that way, today, the companies that pursue marketing success and attempt to attract new clients employ social media to communicate with their consumer segment and promote their brands and products. In reality, the Internet is a field of endless opportunities for the creative advertisement campaigns because it facilitates the marketers’ connections with all types of consumers and the opportunities for the research in the consumer trends, interests, and tastes. The focus of this report is the campaign launched by Dove several years ago called Real Beauty Sketches. The campaign is known for becoming viral shortly after being released, gaining great success, and being named the most frequently viewed ad video of 2013 (Toure par. 1). The report will analyze the type of campaign, its social impacts, the media channel it relied on, its AIDA Model, and the STPD strategy. Campaign Overview Dove’s Real Beauty Sketches is an advertisement campaign made in the form of a short video that features a professional forensic artist who works for the FBI. Throughout the video, the artist does sketches of women based on their self-descriptions and then another series of drawings of the same women, but based on the descriptions given by the people who just met them. The final results are shown to each of the women so that they can see the difference in the way they describe themselves and the way the strangers see them. It turns out that the portraits created based on the descriptions of the strangers are much softer, more flattering, and pleasant-looking than those drawn according to self-descriptions. In that way, the advertisement carries the core message informing the viewers that often they are very harsh and critical of themselves whereas, in reality, they are all beautiful in unique ways. Type of Advertisement and Channels Used The Real Beauty Sketches is a video advertisement that was placed using YouTube as the primary media channel and became viral within the first few weeks of being launched. In particular, it earned over 55 million views and was shared by many users. Dove is known for videos targeting the female audience primarily using empowering and touching messages. The Real Beauty Sketches is the fourth ad campaign of this type created by Dove. This video, just like the other three, intended to address such issues as the social pressure on women, body image and self-esteem, artificially fixed
Child abuse and Neglect In the subject of the dynamics of child neglect and abuse, there are several indicators of risk, as well as risk factors. Child abuse can be described as the physical maltreatment, emotional maltreatment, sexual maltreatment, and or psychological maltreatment of a child or minor as described, by the law, by their parents, guardians, or by people who are supposed to be responsible for the child’s welfare. A person who is responsible for a minor can as well describe child neglect as omissions, which lead to either physical or psychological suffering by the minor. Child abuse is dynamic because the law can only describe it broadly though each case qualifies on its own about the definitions as provided for by the law. Physical, psychological, sexual, and emotional abuse are among the indicators of child abuse. Physical abuse happens when a physical injury is inflicted on a child when the child is subjected to acts and activities that lead to injuries on the child’s body. These injuries might be due to intentional acts as well as unintentional acts. In most cases, physical abuse happens due to acts of aggression by someone who is an adult to a minor or someone who is older t
Introduction The main problem with consumer markets in economies such as those within the U.S., Europe and the Middle East is the fact that consumer spending is at an all time low which has resulted in the current economic downturn since consumer spending is the primary basis of economic recoveries or recessions (Keller & Kotler, 2009). Unfortunately the inherent problem with the current situation is that it creates a vicious cycle wherein low consumer spending results in companies reducing various aspects of their operational capacity (i.e. manufacturing of products, low level employees etc.) in order to remain in business which results in even lower consumer spending since people don’t have jobs to support themselves anymore (Putting the air back in, 2008). An example of the effect of such behavior by major corporations can be seen in the U.S. wherein up to 8% percent of the population is unemployed due to workforce cutbacks employed by various companies in an attempt to continue to remain viable despite lackluster local demand. The solution to this predicament is obviously to increase consumer spending however due to the current pervading atmosphere of economic uncertainty people are more reluctant than ever to spend resulting in even more layoffs occurring (Putting the air back in, 2008). What must also be taken into consideration is the fact that the U.S. consumer market is one of the major destinations for exported goods in the world and is so intrinsically tied with other global economies that lackluster consumer demand within the U.S. affects the production of goods and services in other countries as well (The End of Free-Trade Globalization, 2010). For example when examining the case of China and its booming manufacturing sector the latest data from September 2011 indicates a gradual slowdown in industrial output for exports. This data has been examined and tied to low product demand growth rates within the U.S. wherein major retailers such as Wal-Mart, Costco, and Target are experiencing lackluster demand which necessitated a decrease in international imports as they try to get rid of backed up stock before importing any new products (The End of Free-Trade Globalization, 2010). Another global factor that should be taken into consideration when conducting business operations is the current debt crisis in Europe that was brought about through not only the reckless actions of various banks within region (as seen in the case of Ireland) but also through government mismanagement of finances (seen in the case of Greece) and exposure to a reckless housing market (the case of Spain) (Candelon & Palm, 2010). In fact when examining the sheer scale of the problem with the European Union possibly having to bail out not only Greece and Ireland but Spain and Italy as well this creates a chaotic economic environment which has the possibility of spilling over into the U.S. should the E.U. bailouts prove to be in effective (Candelon & Palm, 2010). Wha
Sample In the current study, the sample of teachers focusing on sports education and working in the university setting. The sample of teachers is expected to have experience working with students for whom sports education is an imperative aspect of learning. These educators are expected to address the educational challenges of health education and develop appropriate strategies for making sure that all people can be effective in learning. It is expected that the sample of teachers will be predominantly female (although male teachers will also be included), aged between 25 and 65, with several years of experience working in the educational field. In order to facilitate representativeness, a sample of 200 teachers will be selected from various educational facilities in Saudi Arabia that provide sports education Obtaining the Sample The sample of teachers will be chosen with the help of simple random sampling. This method of sampling implies that each member of the teacher population has equal chances of participating in research. The benefit of this sampling method is associated with the ease of forming representative groups from an overall population. To recruit the teachers, name lists of educators working in sports education at different facilities will be collected, including the University of Jeddah. Each teacher will be assigned a number that will be inserted in a randomization software that will provide random numbers corresponding to teachers. In this way, any bias is eliminated because the choice of teachers will depend on software. The social context of the sample will play an essential role in the study because interactions between students and teachers imply a degree of socialization, as mentioned by Frank (1998). The issue of gatekeeping plays an important role in the study because it is expected that leaders of educational facilities will facilitate interactions between the researcher and teachers to be participating in research. University managers can also have the power to grant the permission to access teachers when it comes to data collection. Therefore, in instances when facility managers prevent the researcher from contacting teachers, other educational facilities will be chosen for the study. This represents the key limitation in research since the involvement of professionals overseeing the work of teachers can be limiting in terms of data collection. However, having a gatekeeper in the current study is important because the researcher does not have legitimate access to teachers’ data and thus will experience issues with gathering the necessary information for the study. The permission to access the sample and data will be collected from university managers as well as potential participants themselves. Therefore, another limitation is the absence of teachers’ support for the study and the lack of desire to participate in sampling. Overview of Literature The study i
Traditionally considered one of the most dangerous drugs, heroin could definitely use a better reputation. Although the chemical compound is called diacetylmorphine, the substance has gained a notorious recognition by its “nickname,” heroin. Prohibited all over the United States and in most countries of the world, heroin, weirdly enough, is also used for a number of healthcare purposes. Science of Caffeine . Web. As it has been mentioned above, heroin is traditionally considered an illegal substance and, therefore, is prohibited from use in most states all over the world. Nevertheless, heroin is still prescribed in specific medical cases as a critical care unit. More to the point, heroin is often utilized as a controlled drug for the people who are severely dependent on drugs and are undergoing a course of replacement therapy. It should also be noted that the status of heroin is currently considered in some states as a substitute for morphine; still, its comparatively strong effect is considered a major obstacle on changing its status. It should also be mentioned that heroin is used in the course of producing various derivatives, such as naloxone, naltrexone and nalorphine (Leavitt 2). The aforementioned medicine is used as the means to address the aftereffects of drug overdose. There is no need to mention that heroin is also widely misused. No matter how well the basics regarding the use of drugs are taught, there will always be people who are careless enough to jeopardize their lives for the sake of a cheap thrill. According to the statewide statistics, the rates of illegal use of heroin in the USA have dropped slightly since the last year. Nevertheless, heroin abuse remains one of the key concerns for the present-day U.S. healthcare services, as well as the healthcare services all over the world. The report published in 2014 says that an estimated of 13.5 million people all over the world use or have used opioids, which heroin also belongs to (DrugFreeWorld para. 1). Heroin Prices, Heroin Statistics, heroin Addiction . Web. Speaking of heroin users only, they make 9.5 million people at present, and the situation does not seem to get any better despite the propaganda promoting healthy lifestyle and the dangers of heroin. Speaking of the U.S., the statistics regarding the use of heroin does not provide the exact data, since people are usually reluctant to confess in using drugs; however, as the anonymous surveys show, at least 700,000 people in the United States need urgent medical help and the assistance of professionals (Michael’s House para. 6). The need to address the problem of heroin use is not as far-fetched as the drug addicts may want it to be; quite on the contrary, unlike less “efficient” drugs, such as marijuana, heroin has a fast and irreversible effect on people’s health. It should be mentioned that “long-term” and “short-term” effects are traditionally distinguished. A mong the latter, such problems as “rush,” nausea and vomiting
Introduction The realization of the institution’s vision of a consummate health community requires the re-evaluation of policies and procedures to conform to the international health standards. The quality of healthcare services and products is an important component for enhancing safety and improving health standards in society. Additionally, the level of quality is significant among government agencies, the private sectors, and professional bodies. One of the effective ways of enhancing the quality standards of the institutions in healthcare accreditation. The accreditation is expected to enhance the image of the healthcare facility as a place of safety. Definition of Accreditation Healthcare accreditation is a quality assessment process that involves internal evaluations and external peer assessments using national standards established by the health sector. The process extends beyond setting quality standards because it includes analytical counseling and self-improvement practices. The institution must evaluate its processes to identify the areas in need of adjustments and improvements. Accreditation plays an important role in providing and maintaining patient safety. It ensures that the institution’s operations conform to the healthcare standards while improving the relationships with society. Reasons for Proposing the Accreditation One of the reasons for recommending the accreditation is establishing a culture of quality and patient safety in the institution. The process will facilitate the assessment and reevaluation of the institution’s level of performance. Although there has been a culture of safety and quality in healthcare delivery, the facility cannot identify its weaknesses and strengths. In fact, every organization must evaluate its level of performance by conducting internal and external audits. Additionally, the institution must recognize the areas in need of improvement. The process will enhance the level of coordination and relationships among healthcare professionals. When the health facility achieves accreditation, it will demonstrate to the community that it offers quality care and provides safety to all patients. The process will enhance confidence and the level of trust between the community and the institution. Cost and Accreditation Plan The average cost of accreditation is $80,000, which will be distributed across three years of surveys and evaluations. The institution will focus on its policies and procedures by conducting an internal audit that will be compiled in a preliminary evidence report (PER) to be reviewed by the health facility accreditation program (HFAP). The process of compiling and evaluating the department’s policies and procedures is expected to take four to six months. The personnel involved in policy evaluation and quality assessment will determine the duration of the internal audit. The accreditation agency offers a twelve-month period for the application, analysis, and comprehensive assessments. Th
