...Samuel Smoot 02/16/2016 HR Case Study #1 Overview The three most appropriate selection methods in the hiring process I think would be best would be the Resume/ Curriculum vitae review, Application form and formal interview. Since I have been in the working field, these three methods have been used each and every time for my hiring process. I believe that these three methods are more so traditional used and very effective in selecting the right candidate for a company. I will give an overview on each selection method I have listed and how it would be effective in the hiring process. Resume/ Curriculum Vitae Review The Resume or Curriculum vitae review (as known as the CV) is a summary of a potential candidate’s work experience, education, skills and references. There are different kinds of CV’s that can be used, A Chronological CV, A functional CV and a combined CV. A Chronological CV focusses on presenting the candidate’s experience on an employer by employer basis, with the posts being listed in reverse chronological order. It also contains detail of education and qualifications, together with hobbies. Some chronological CVs also contain a brief personal statement at the front which sets out the key skills and strengths of the candidate. This is the most common type of CV. (Adenle, 2016). A functional CV highlights and shows off a candidate’s skills and abilities rather than work history. It more so used when a candidate doesn’t...

...A A Ms. Songer AP Biology February 16 2015 Sickle Cell Anemia: Case Study Summary Sickle Cell Anemia is a painful diseases that is caused by a mutation in the protein called hemoglobin which helps carry oxygen in red blood cells. Because of the mutation, the hemoglobin is shaped oddly which results in pain because it is hard for the blood to travel throughout the body and anemia because of the lack of oxygen in the blood. A person can only have this disease if both parents are carriers and they receive two recessive alleles. There are five effects of the disease at different levels. At the DNA level the mutation causes the sequence to be coded GTG, CAC instead of GAG, CTC which results in a mutant protein. At the protein level the hemoglobin clump together which makes it hard for it to travel through arteries and vessels. At the cellular level the blood cell because “sickle shaped” due to the lack of oxygen that constricts blood flow. In an organism sickle cell anemia causes pain and fatigue during exercise. The only positive effect is the resistance to malaria. These examples show how a small mutation has a very large (sometimes fatal) effect. Therefor large and small mutations can have big effects (“A case study of the effects of mutation: Sickle cell anemia,” 2015) 1. Sickle Cell Anemia is an autosomal recessive disease. These means that both parents of the offspring have to have one normal gene and one mutated gene. The mutated gene is caused by substitution in an...

...Chapter One Introdution: Fundamentals of Business Writing I. The major differences between school writing and business writing School writing, typically in the form of essays, is aimed at impressing the audience, i.e. examiners. To score high, student writers have to use fairly complicated vocabulary and sentences in their written work. Business writers, however, mainly aim to communicate information to their colleagues, clients, and other associated parties. They are relatively free to use what language that can get the business done efficiently and effectively. II. Seven steps in the process of wring 1. clarifying your aim 2. identifying your readers 3. making a general plan 4. sketching a synopsis (大纲) 5. drafting your text 6. putting the draft aside 7. revising and editing ★ Writing is a recursive and creative process. The detailed plan is not adhered to in actual writing. Writers frequently come up with ideas that are activated in the process of writing. Writers read the text they have already produced to help generate more ideas. In effect, the writing process is no linear at all but is characterized by recursive ness and creativeness. III. Three principles of business writing 1. Clarity – means setting your message across clearly. (See detailed information on page 4) 2. Consideration – good business writers take their readers’ needs, problems, and reactions to the writing into consideration. And they...

The study was done in the fetal medicine unit in Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in South Africa. It included a total of 428 patients who were screened between July 2003 and July 2005. Those patients were chosen using a set of criteria that the Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) has established. The patients had a mean age of 30 years. Of all the patients, 59 were screened positive and the remaining 356 were screened negative. 24 of those that screened positive had Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) performed.

...Performance Evaluation Study Guide 5 LEARNING OBJECTIVES At the end of this Study Guide, you should be able to: • Understand the reason why it is critical to use a separate set of data not used in the training to evaluate the performance of a model. • Describe the different validation methods to evaluate model performance. • Explain the different measures used to measure model performance, including lift chart. • Describe a systematic search process to find the best performing model. 5-1 Study Guide 5: Performance Evaluation Reading material Textbook Chapter 5 (exclude 5.5, 5.6, 5.9 & 5.10) Kennedy et al, Section 11.2. 1. Performance evaluation It important to recognize that performance evaluation is the task involved in step 6 (training and testing) and constitutes the key component in comparing multiple models in step 7 of the data mining process, described in Study Guide 4. Training is a process of transforming a set of data into a model using a learning algorithm. Once the data is ready (after steps 2, 3 and 4) and an algorithm is selected (step 5), training is a straightforward process (the first part in step 6). Refer to the data mining process in pages 4-1 and 4-2. In this Study Guide, we focus on issues related to model evaluation (the second part of step 6), i.e. we want evaluate how well the trained model will perform for unseen or future data. 2.

...HEALTH RESEARCH AGENDA SETTING IN REGION 2 Center for Health Development for Cagayan Valley (CHD-CV) Department of Science and Technology (DOST) National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) FOREWORD The current thrust of the Department Of Health conceptualized by no less than the Hon. Secretary Himself, Dr. Francisco T. Duque, III, coined as FOURmulaONE aims to “undertake critical reforms with SPEED, PRECISION and EFFECTIVE COORDINATION directed at improving the efficiency, effectiveness and equity of the Philippine Health System in a manner that is felt and appreciated by the Filipinos, especially the poor”. Now, more than ever, the health of the Filipino people should not be the sole responsibility of DOH through CHD-CV (as initial chair of the Regional R&D Coordinating Council of the consortium) rather the unified efforts of allied agencies/institutions, NGOs and most importantly, the individual himself. Unfortunately, many areas in the country, Region 02 included, have little or no access to information that affect the environment and people’s health. As a consequence, people live their lives without the benefit of some precautions that they may observe in order to safeguard their well-being. It is in this light that through the stewardship of PCHRD, through its Executive Director Jaime C. Montoya and DOST Regional office through Dir. Rustico B. Santos, DOHCHD-CV through Dir. Purita S. Danga and her Asst. Dir.,Dr. Tita N. Callueng; NEDA. Dir Milagros Rimando; other...

Question D 10 Bibliography 11 Appendix A – Self – evaluation 12 Appendix B – Passage 13 1. Question A – TEACHING CONTEXT I currently teach at an inner city private school. I teach English Home Language to Grades Ten, Eleven and Twelve. The school is relatively well – resourced and provides the necessary infrastructure to facilitate learning. Classrooms are equipped with the sufficient number of desks and chairs. All learners and educators are issued with the appropriate resources such as textbooks and study guides to achieve the outcomes of the curriculum as determined by the Department of Basic Education. Periods are 40 minutes long. A total of four hours per cycle is dedicated to the learning of the home language. The majority of learners are from a lower to medium economic background. The school’s language of teaching and learning is English. Consequently, all learners are registered as English Home Language learners.

After two years of secondary education ( Grades 8 and 9 ) this aspect of the context, for both learner and school, often...
