...Comparative Studies Dominique Comparative Studies There are many forms of health care organizations, they are grouped by their financial structures, and sources of funding. The three types that exist in the United States are for-profit, non-profit, and government funded organizations. The financial resources and how profit is appropriated are different amongst all three types of organizations. Government Funded The most well-known government funded health care system is the Department of Veterans Affairs. This health care system is unique in that it was created specifically to treat American veterans of the US military, whereas for-profit and non-profit organizations must treat every patient regardless of status, or ability to pay. A person who served in the active military, naval, or air service and who was discharged or released under conditions other than dishonorable may qualify for VA health care benefits ("Office of Public and Intergovernmental Affairs", 2014). Many diseases and permanent disabilities or service-connected disabilities, US veterans suffer from were acquired serving in wars both past and present while serving this country. It is the governments’ intention to help treat those who so bravely laid their life on the line to serve and protect this country. On that note, most military are eligible to be treated within this health care system for little to no cost, with very few not meeting eligibility requirements. There are still however financial...

...Speaking about the financial performance of the company, it is necessary to say that sales revenues are not steadily growing. (Dirt Bikes USA) According to some statistical data, it is known that dirt bikes are very popular in such countries as Canada, Mexico, Australia, the United States, China and some other countries which have mud-locked roads and even lack of roads. In order to find out what countries will be the best markets for Dirt Bikes products, it is necessary to learn about the per capita income of these countries. For example, China's per capita income is $4,282; Australia – $54,868; the United Kingdom - $36,298; Canada - $45,887; Ireland - $45,642; New Zealand - $31,588; Mexico - $9,283 and others. (International Monetary Fund) It is clear that those countries which have a higher per capita will be the best markets for Dirt Bikes product because the people who live in these countries will be able to buy dirt bikes. Dirt bikes should sale their products through authorized vendors. The actual dirt bike themselves can only be purchased at the vendor. This is done so there are not as many returns due to the customer not talking to a sales person, and not actually seeing the product and testing it out themselves. It will also cut down on shipping costs. But parts and Paraphernalia can be sold through the Internet as well as through vendors. There has been a great range of gross margin and net margins from 2009 to 2012. Starting in 2003, the Gross Margin was 33.2%...

...work full- or part-time has increased from 49 to 57 percent. Not only are students more likely to work today, but they are more likely to work full-time: the share of students working full-time while going to school full-time has nearly doubled, rising from 5.6 percent in 1985 to 10.4 percent in 2000. In 2000, 828,000 full-time students worked full-time, compared to 366,000 in 1985. Working students can be categorized into two groups: those who primarily identify themselves as students but who work in order to pay the bills, and those who are first and foremost workers who also take some college classes. Almost two-thirds of undergraduates who work consider themselves "students who work"; the other third consider themselves "workers who study." In the 1995-96 school year, employed students worked an average of 25 hours per week. Students at four-year colleges are more likely to work a smaller number of hours per week. On average, working college students earn roughly $7.50 per hour. The empirical evidence suggests that the effects of working while in college varies by the type of job held (e.g., full-time vs. part-time work) and its relation to the academic environment (e.g., an on-campus vs. an off-campus job). Part-time student employment may have beneficial effects: for example, an on-campus research position may spark a student's interest in further academic programs or provide important work experience that will improve future labor market prospects. Working part-time...

...1) Introduction to the research topic In recent times business environment has changed at the very rapidly. Effect of globalization and liberalization of global economy have changed the functional areas of business. In recent years due to high market competition, various new techniques of business development and marketing have been developed. Use of latest technology for developing business has given birth to E-retail. E-retailing, also known as e-tailing is nothing but shopping through the internet. It is the process whereby consumers directly buy goods or services from a seller, without an intermediary service, over the internet. It is a way by which the retailer displays the array of products over a website so that the customer can view, analysis and order merchandise directly through interactive network or by telephone communication. The merchandise is then delivered to the customers address. The process is called Business-to-Consumer (B2C) online shopping. In present times the concept of e-retail has developed and some of global players of e-retail are e-bay, Amazon and flipkart where various products are sold online and can be bought easily. E-retail is more about selling merchandise that can be sold easily and attacks a large mass of customers. This technique is cost effective and gives rise to immense business opportunity. Support Services in E-Retailing The retail business can only be successful if it has appropriate support services. Support services are...

...Table of Contents 1. Crime Data Sources 2. Comparative Criminology in a Globalized World 3. Crime Rates in Different Countries 4. References Crime Data Sources As is the case with all factually based studies, the source of the data utilized in the study must be reliable and accurate. The same is true for comparative criminology. How are law enforcement professionals to believe the validity of reports and studies if the sources for which the information came from are questionable? They cannot and this is why crime data sources are so relevant and important. There are a number of crime data sources that can be utilized that meet these requirements. One resource is the International Criminal Police Organization. “Although some countries do not yet have the resources for systematically collecting information on their crime problems, the great majority send statistics to the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), which publishes the data biannually,” (Adler, Mueller, Laufer, 2007, pg. 389). Another source is the United Nations Surveys of Crime Trends, Operation of Criminal Justice Systems and Crime Prevention Strategies. The survey, which is published periodically, began in 1970 and now includes statistics from over 100 countries (Adler et al., 2007, pg. 389-390). There are numerous other databases available to draw criminal...

...This journal paper takes a critical look at the hands-on child-computer interaction. Antle and her associates conducted an exploratory comparative design study with children aged 7 to 10 years old to investigate the ways in which different interface styles (physical /graphic/tangible user interfaces ---PUI/ GUI/ TUI) affect their interactional behaviors and the subsequent development of spatial problem solving skills in a jigsaw puzzle task. The conversation concerning the potential for TUIs in education or learning seems to be growing, but the research investing the benefits of these systems for this context have been inconclusive. Additionally, little research has been done to gain a better understanding of the reasons TUIs may contribute positively to the experience of children during different classes of learning activities. The author hopes to explore how PUI, TUI and GUI interaction styles facilitate the development of spatial thinking, mental visualization, spatial reasoning, metacognition, and communication skills. Additionally, the author found that the current state of methodology concerning video analysis and coding was lacking to properly answer the research questions...

...A Comparative Study of Cognitive Radio Platforms Moshe Timothy Masonta CSIR Meraka and TUT P.O. Box 395 Pretoria 0001, South Africa Mjumo Mzyece Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) Pretoria, South Africa Fisseha Mekuria Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) Pretoria 0001, South Africa mmasonta@csir.co.za mzyecem@tut.ac.za fmekuria@csir.co.za ABSTRACT Cognitive radio (CR) technology has become one of the buzzwords within the wireless communications community over the past 12 years. Its ability to learn, decide and adapt to the external environment made CR attractive to regulators, researchers, academia, politicians and the industry. CR promises to bring a paradigm shift in spectrum management policies from command-and-control regime to dynamic and opportunistic spectrum access. Despite more than a decade of research in the CR area, there are too little CR systems ready for the market. This lack of ready CR systems may reflect an overemphasis in the CR literature on theory and simulations with less work done in experimental-basedresearch and publications. In order to fast-track the real-life deployments of CR systems, the research community is now focusing on the development of CR platforms. With different software defined radio (SDR) packages and hardware available, it is confusing to decide which one to build or use. The objective of this paper is to study the design of CR platforms making use available SDR software packages and hardware...
