Hewlett-Packard (HP), the first company in the industry to implement a Supplier Code of Conduct, has taken a comprehensive approach Delta Electronics Delta Electronics by educating suppliers on how to achieve compliance, conducting individual audits and third-party joint audits, and emphasizing continuous improvement. This approach is being disseminated now to sub-tier suppliers, which should improve standards throughout HP’s supply chain. What should motivate suppliers to achieve full SER compliance? Are there business benefits to meeting and exceeding minimum standards?

...Assignment 2: LASA 1 Promoting Cognitive Development As you have learned in your readings, Piaget, Erikson, Skinner, and Vygotsky took different approaches to child development. One’s theoretical perspective influences approaches to child development. The Jacksons are a young couple living in Centervale. They have approached Keith, the child development consultant, for advice on how to promote and nurture the cognitive development of their preschooler Jasmine. Watch the following video to learn more about the similarities and differences of developmental theories. Study of the Child: Theories of Development I, produced by Herzog, Milan & Herzog, Shanta (Learning Seed, 1997), 29:02 mins obtained from Alexander Street Press Education in Video from AUO Library.

...CJA105 AUO Introduction to Criminal Justice M3 A2 Marital rape is one of the most under reported crimes in the western hemisphere. The common thought is how can the husband take something that belongs to him? Rape by someone you have been sexually intimate with is often not seen as “real rape”. Such attitudes are based on the premise that having given initial consent, the woman is not free to withdraw it. In a study done by Diana Russell, rape in marriage is the most common yet most neglected area of sexual violence. In a 1985 study, it is estimated that 100 to 14 percent of all married women have been or will be raped by their spouses. A study done in the 1980’s, on juvenile girls caused shock when the figures came in . Teen dating often involves rape and sexual assault, and it continues to be on the rise. 1 in 10 high school students have experienced dating violence and nearly 22% of college students. As I looked for a specific case, I began to notice something… I can’t find any. I cannot find anything in the US. You want to know why? Do I need to reiterate it? When a victim goes to file a report, to press charges and the Detectives say, “The Prosecutor will not go any further than this because you did, (such and such) before. What recourse does she have? If she has the stamina, she can leave him. If not, she lives in the hell her marriage has become. Although marital rape happens more than it should in American society, I have found that it is rampant with foreign...

...Purpose of the survey The purpose of this survey instrument is to determine consumer perceptions of cell phone providers. Ultimately, the data will be used to determine potential positioning strategies for companies. Summary of Results The pretest of the survey indicated the need for several changes. First, there were a few changes that needed to be made for the survey. First, the ten point-scale was simplified to three points. Minor typographical errors were corrected, and questions that appeared ambiguous were clarified –for example, when I entered the questions into Qualtrics, I forgot to include “please indicate” for text entry. It was also recommended that, in the ethnicity question, a multi-ethnicity option be offered. These issues were brought to my attention by the respondents to my survey and were corrected While entering my data, I encountered a few issues in my survey design, as well. When entering my survey into Qualtrics, I found that made two minor typographical errors, which needed to be corrected before mass distribution of the survey. I also found that I needed additional “skip” logic within the survey design. In Question 5, I asked respondents whether or not that they had an existing plan—skip logic was needed to direct respondents past questions that indicated whether or not they would renew their existing plan. This was added in my revised survey. In addition, when asking the question about previous cell phone providers, respondents should have had...

...The Apple Supply Chain: The Best in the World? by Steve Banker July 2nd, 2012 Many supply chain professionals consider Apple’s supply chain to be the best in the world. I don’t. The reasoning appears to be that since Apple is one of the fastest growing and most profitable companies in the world, it must surely have one of the best supply chains too. This is a “halo effect” fallacy. Apple is the best in the world at innovative product development. Because the company develops hardware, software, and associated digital services—rather than just focusing on one dimension—it can provide an unmatched user experience. This allows Apple to capture high margins from its products and services. But by my definition, product development is not supply chain management; procurement, manufacturing, and logistics are. That said, Apple has a fascinating supply chain that is very different from traditional supply chains. This supply chain comes with pre-built advantages and disadvantages. On the advantage side, demand management is easier. Apple doesn’t have to get the demand forecast for a new product right. As long as it underestimates demand for a hot new product, Apple will have loyal customers clamoring for the new devices and willing to wait. In fact, the projected backlog leads customers to line up for hours before stores open to buy a new product. This helps to create marketing buzz. Because Apple has become so large, it has procurement advantages smaller rivals can’t match....

The problem before us today: Global Food production is the highest ever and quality and safety is better than ever before, yet 14 mio people die of starvation every year & 800 mio people are clinically malnourished! And by 2025 we will have more than 8 billion people to feed: Global population is expected to grow from 6.2 Bio to 8 Bio in 2025, while farmland available per capita is shrinking! Secure & sustainable supply of high quality food, particularly in the developing countries; is a basic requirement for continued human development! In India the situation is more acute: • During the last two decades of 20 th century, the population increased by 50% but food-producing land has shrunk by 5 %. Demand for healthier food is increasing with the growing awareness, but the farm land is being nibbled at to meet other economic needs e.g. urbanization & industrial infrastructure Advanced Agricultural Science can help: Agri science has made great progress over last 50 years. This has enabled us to keep pace with the growing needs of increasing population. However, in recent years Indian Agriculture has not kept pace with the technological progress in other sectors of economy.

Tasks are described by defining final situations that need to be reached and process information are fused to a situation vector representing the actual state of the entire system. Suitable information is identified by comparison of differences in future situations and used for the detection of valuable information with respect to the defined (sub)task. The hierarchical task analysis [4] of a semi-automated molding process using No-Bake-Technique is additional discussed as an illustrative application example that is completely mapped into the SOM-framework. Furthermore, the results of a user study of selected functionality of the developed process guiding and supervision assistance system are presented. Nowadays, the integration of users into technical systems becomes necessary due to reasons of automation concepts that are not capable of completely integrating process knowledge and manufacturing skills for full automation of technical processes. In such interactive, semi-automated systems human operators are facing a high amount of process information that need to be evaluated according to individual skills and knowledge to situational and necessary actions including the evaluation of alternatives etc. In order to benefit from human abilities of information fusion and sophisticated comprehension of process coherence in complexity...
