The first two examples demonstrate content questioning. Example 3 shows how multi-coding can be done, while Example 4 covers the use of software in automatic content analysis. Example 1: TV violence An "interview" with a violent episode in a TV program might "ask" it questions such as: How long did you last, in minutes and seconds? What program were you shown on? On what channel, what date, and what time? Was that program local or imported? Series or one-off? What was the nature of the violent action? How graphic or realistic was the violence? What were the effects of the violence on the victim/s? Who did the violent act: heroes or villains? Men or women? Young or old? People of high or low social status? 9. Who was the victim/s: heroes or villains? Men or women? (etc.) 10. To what extent did the violent action seem provoked or justified? ...and so on. All the answers to the questions are available from watching the program. Notice that some of the criteria are subjective (e.g. the last one). Instead of relying on a single person's opinion on such criteria, it's usual to have several "judges" and record the average rating, often on a scale out of 10. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

...Legal Content Managed Service Legal Content Management Services Overview • Most firms now have established Records Management departments, but many RM programs haven’t moved beyond managing paper into the electronic world, nor have they implemented and enforced formal policies and retention schedules. Attorneys in many firms still have the freedom to set their own rules for controlling and managing records. In many cases, organizations are still struggling to gain control over records that haven’t been systematically managed since the day the firm opened. • For many years now though, firms have been reducing their reliance on paper records and increasing their reliance on electronic formats. Today’s law firm is a hybrid environment of hard copy and electronic records as it attempts to migrate over time to a “reduced” paper environment. An effective LCM program therefore, has to keep pace with changing technology and an increased reliance on electronic records, while recognizing that managing paper records is still a major component of the RIM operation and will continue to be so for years to come. • There is a need for a well-documented and enforced LCM program that adds consistency, compliance and structure to the enormous volumes of records and media created and received in law firms on a daily basis. A managed LCM program will help firms gain control of, improve access to and effectively manage this huge amount of information as it moves and is captured throughout the...

...To repeal the .08 Blood Alcohol Content laws and set more legitimate and rational BAC standards, we must first understand the current law stating that any person with a BAC of 0.08, or higher is undoubtedly, without exceptions and no defense to the contrary, a drunk driver. This assumption is a decided standard and completely arbitrary. Regardless that the sweeping majority of people who drink are not actually impaired with a BAC of 0.08 and they are reasonably capable of driving in a safe and responsible way. Therefore we should set these standard to a high enough level to include drivers that are actually impaired. A BAC standard of 0.10 would be a more fair and legitimate legal threshold, in my opinion. This wouldn't mean drivers below the limit cannot be arrested when obviously impaired, it'll just make it less easy to convict responsible drivers....

...Amazon – Group Work Cost Factors Amazon has a fixed cost business model, they use the Internet to gain highest possible leverage out of their fixed assets. They sell music, books and consumer electronics, which means they are selling ownership of a physical product, this is called asset sales. They have a massive IT infrastructure that needs maintenance to keep their costumers. Amazon let individuals and companies pay a small fee to use their infrastructure, using it as storage for their business. This is cheaper for the customers and Amazon benefits from it. It may seem that Amazon is struggling economically since they keep losing profits, but investors keep putting money into the business, pushing them to a higher level. It is shown that Amazon is a very beneficial platform due to the fact that people wish to sell via their homepage. They tend to loose money due to their massive investments, but in the end they profit from all of their transactions. Amazon's annual report from 2012 shows a decrease in operations income by 22% in 2012, a 3% decrease since 2010. However their cost of sales has increased to 24,8% in 2012, 2,5% increase since 2010.

...STRATEGY Ryanair’s objective is to firmly establish itself as Europe’s leading low-fares scheduled passenger airline through continued improvements and expanded offerings of its low-fares service. Ryanair aims to offer low fares that generate increased passenger traffic while maintaining a continuous focus on cost-containment and operating efficiencies. The key elements of Ryanair’s strategy are: Low Fares. Ryanair’s low fares are designed to stimulate demand, particularly from fare-conscious leisure and business travelers who might otherwise have used alternative forms of transportation or would not have traveled at all. Ryanair sells seats on a one-way basis, thus eliminating minimum stay requirements from all travel on Ryanair scheduled services, regardless of fare. Ryanair sets fares on the basis of the demand for particular flights and by reference to the period remaining to the date of departure of the flight, with higher fares charged on flights with higher levels of demand for bookings made nearer to the date of departure. Ryanair’s Dublin to London (Stansted) route is its largest route in terms of passenger volume, with fares ranging from 0.99 to 199.99 (excluding government taxes and passenger service charges). Ryanair’s competitors generally do not operate a one-way pricing policy, so direct comparison is not possible, but current round-trip fares on Aer Lingus, Ryanair’s largest competitor on the LondonDublin route, for travel in September 2004 were 82.27 for economy...
