...David Bayley and Clifford Shearing: The New Structure of Policing: Descriptions, Conceptualization and Research Agenda Policing is being reconstructed worldwide. Its distinguishing features are (a) the separation of those who authorize policing from who do it and (b) the transference of both functions away from government The change in policing cannot be understood in customary terms. It is often mischaracterized for example as privatization. Because the distinction between public and private domain becomes problematic in the new policing, the more appropriate description for what is occurring is multilateralization—as host of non governmental groups have assumed responsibility for their own protection, and a host of nongovernmental agencies have undertake to provide security services Crucial distinction is made between the auspices and providers of policing. Auspices are groups (and sometimes individuals) that explicitly and self-consciously take upon themselves the responsibility for organizing their own protection. Providers are groups that actually do the policing. In the old paradigm of policing government had responsibility for articulating security needs and for developing institutions to meet them. This has changed auspices can either be public (govt) or private (nongovt) Governments were the organizational auspices for formulating demand for policing, and they were the providers who supplied it. These two functions have become separate it has become acceptable for...

...Introduction This report is a short description of my four month internship carried out as compulsory component of the MSc. Biology. The internship was carried out within the organization Faunagua (Bolivia) in 2009. Since my I am interested in animal ecology and especially of cetaceans, the work was concentrated on the river dolphin, Inia boliviensis, a unique species dolphin species for this country. At the beginning of the internship I formulated several learning goals, which I wanted to achieve: to understand the functioning and working conditions of a non-governmental organization; to see what is like to work in a professional environment; to see if this kind of work is a possibility for my future career; to use my gained skills and knowledge; to see what skills and knowledge I still need to work in a professional environment; to learn about the organizing of a research project (planning, preparation, permissions etc.) to learn about research methodologies (field methods/methods to analyze data) to get fieldwork experience/collect data in an environment unknown for me; to get experience in working in another country/with persons from another culture; to enhance my communication skills; to build a network. This internship report contains my activities that have contributed to achieve a number of my stated goals.

...Question 1. Explain the different international organizations Answer: 1. Introduction This section reviews the complete range of international organizations. The conventional categories used are first examined, then various ways of distinguishing between the many kinds of organization and degrees of "internationality" are considered. The problem of borderline cases is discussed, together with non-organizational substitutes for organizations and possible alternative forms of organization. Quantitative information on the growth of international institutions and indicative data on regional organizations are also presented. A major difficulty in obtaining some understanding of international organizations is the variety of organizational forms which need to be considered. Abstract classification schemes, particularly when simplified for convenience, tend to conceal the existence of well-developed groups of organizations with distinct features. The approach employed here has been to use several different ways of breaking up the range of organizations and to cite several examples of organizations of any particular type. The intent is not to put forward a new systematic classification of international organizations but rather to facilitate an appreciation of the variety of bodies which could be incorporated into any such scheme. A comment on the three conventional categories used (intergovernmental, international non-governmental non-profit, and multinational enterprises) is thus...

...population” (Creswell, 2009, p. 12). This study will involve a questionnaire, used like a structured interview for collecting data to assist with answering the three research questions; and intended to generalize a sample population of five NGOs (Babbie, 1990 cited in Creswell, 2009, p. 12). B. CHARACTERISTICS OF RESEARCH APPROACH The characteristics of case study research embody the following (derived from Creswell, 2009, p. 175-176): multiple sources of data; theoretical lens; and participant meaning.. First, multiple sources of data may include: observation, case studies related to humanitarian organizations, documentation from humanitarian organization’s source to donors, and other mass media and social media available. Additionally, the study will use framing theory as its guiding approach and how it relates to soft power theory, to understand how humanitarian organizations develop their messages. Finally, the participant meaning by reviewing the responses NGOs have toward the research questions to view “the meaning that the participants hold about the problem or issue, not the meaning that the reaserchers bring to the research or writers express in the literature”(Creswell, 2009, p. 176). C. RESEARCH STRATEGY AThis research offers an appropriate strategy for three primary reasons. First, it develops the landscape of understanding for theoretical frames related to soft power of NGOs. Secondly, , the collected survey data is representative of NGOs understanding...

...and accounting practices for those funds as well as anomalies that arise from reviewing the report. In addition five relevant ratios will be used to assist in summarizing the financial condition of the city. The major governmental funds used by the city include the General Fund, the Motor Fuel Tax Fund, and the State and Federal Grants Funds. The Motor Fuel Tax Fund is used for projects financed by the Motor Fuel Tax which is assembled and dispersed by the State of Illinois. The State and Federal Grants funds are financed by grants from state and federal governments and are used to support community development and housing. Although this may seem understandable, there is no mention in the report of what “community development” actually means. What is known, however, is that these grants are legally restricted to specific uses. The General Fund accounts for all revenues and expenses not allocated specifically to other funds. Governmental funds not considered major include Special Revenue Fund, Capital Project Fund, Debt Service Fund, and Permanent Funds. The name of the Permanent Fund does not in any way describe what it is for, but notes to the financial statements indicate that it accounts for the City’s revolving loan funds. Besides the Governmental Funds the city also maintains Proprietary Funds and Fiduciary Funds. Types of Proprietary Funds include the Enterprise Funds which consist of the Water Fund, Sewer Fund, and Quincy Regional Airport Fund, and the Internal...

... Abstract In the accounting industry there are different organizations that have been established to design, implement, and oversee accounting standards and financial presentation processes. Such organizations include the Securities Exchange Commission, SEC, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, FASB, the International Accounting Standards Board, IASB, and the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, GASB. Each of these organizations works closely with the others to attempt to provide the accounting industry with a similar, if not identical, set of accounting standards that align with those of the U.S. GAAP – Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and IFRS – International Financial Reporting Standards. The strengths and weaknesses of these organizations identify their similarities and differences and enable the organizations to continue to grow with the finance and accounting industries. In the accounting industry there are several different organizations specifically designed to set, maintain, and regulate accounting standards and financial statement presentation. Among these organizations are the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB, and the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, or GASB. Each organization was established to carry out specific purposes, and handles the accounting standard setting...
