...others show differences of how human personalities are developed. Psychoanalysis is a way to understand the interactions between conscious and unconscious factors of the brain. Psychoanalysis is a form of psychotherapy for patients who have mental problems. This paper will provide thoughts on Freud, Jung and Adler’s theories on characteristics of personality. Psychoanalysis has three means the first is exploring the human mind, the second is treatment of psychological problems and the third is to understand human behavior better. In exploring the different theories of Freud, Jung, and Adler this paper with compare and agree and disagree with characteristics of research done by the three psychologists. In Freud’s theory an explanation of stages and characteristics of personality of the components used will be described. An understanding of at least three of Freud’s defense mechanisms will be offered in explanation with examples of real-life events. Psychoanalytic personality Assessment The theories found between physiologist Freud, Adler and Jung were interesting when all of the research is compared. Each psychologist spent years doing scientific research on physics, medicine and laboratory research in understanding human behavior and personalities. After comparing information each man’s theory was similar yet different. Freud’s personality theory is based on ego, superego, and the unconsciousness of human behavior, for example impulse, wishing, desires...

...Volkswagen Case The exact definition of white collar crime has been heavily debated throughout the last decades starting with Sutherland in 1939 who theorized that it as a crime committed by a person of respectability and high status in the course of his occupation and has continued until recently where it has been theorized that offenders may be individuals and/or formal organizations, and they may act out of self-interest, in the pursuit of organizational goals, or both (Simpson 2013:313). White collar crimes have a greater salience on our lives than it is widely recognized – it can have severe negative effects on our environment, personal health, and even financial lives (Cohen 2015:5). Often times white collar crimes are swept under the...

...arise. The modern business environment is fertile ground for unethical behaviour. There is an overwhelming emphasis on profit among many (certainly not all) large organisations. Looking at the prevalence of this ethos, particularly when combined with the short-term rewards that one may gain through less ethical actions, it is certainly not hard to understand how many of the ‘spin doctor’ headlines come about. I have chosen to examine ethics in the PR industry as I believe the subject to be particularly topical and of significant importance to the long-term legitimacy of the profession. As the potential ethical issues that a public relations practitioner may be faced with is clearly too long a list to hope to fully contend with, this paper has...

Incorrect credit judgement causes huge financial losses. This work describes the use of an evolutionary-fuzzy system capable of classifying suspicious and non-suspicious credit card transactions. The paper starts with the details of the system used in this work. A series of experiments are described, showing that the complete system is capable of attaining good accuracy and intelligibility levels for real data. 1. INTRODUCTION Fraud is a big problem today. Looking at credit card transactions alone, with millions of purchases every month, it is simply not humanly possible to check every one. And when many purchases are made with stolen credit cards, this inevitably results in losses of significant sums. The only viable solution to problems...

Foreign Studies A recent study was conducted by the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) on the issue of Direct Marketing as a Global Industry. The potential reward are great, and direct marketers continue to venture outside the bounderies of thier native countries. The DMA estimates that Japans’ catalog market was worth $21 Billion in 1996 and that there are 500 catalog marketers competing for that market. A number of U.S firms among the successful competitors, driven by the Japanese desire for U.S products and their need for convenience. A survey few years ago, when the automibile industry was trying to ascertain how to advertise to the emerging women’s market, Ford Motor Company turned to an approach called “Curriculum Theory”. Based on theories of learning that you have probably studied in psychology or consumer behavior classes, “Curriculum Theory” argues that when the purchase is large or otherwise risky, direct marketers must move prospects through a carefully constructed series of steps that will culminate in a purchase. A study was conducted with the L.L Bean in marketing its products in Japan for a number or years. The D.M.A estimates that Japan’s catalog market was worth $21 Billion in 1994 and that there are 500 catalog marketers competing for that...

...Is the Fraud Act a Useful Tool in E-Crime Prosecution? Executive summary This paper sought to examine whether the Fraud Act 2006 could be a useful tool in the prosecution of e-Crimes. It turns out that crimes on the computer net works and other electronic forms have been prevalent for more than two decades without being successfully prosecuted in majority of cases. The Thefts Acts 1968 and 1978 had inadequacies to deal with the kind of offences possible on the electronic forms. Hence, to avoid continual amendments to Theft Acts which could not have retrospective effect, Fraud Act 2006 has been enacted with sweeping changes to enable prosecutions of e-Crimes. Fraud Act 2006 has removed the shortcomings of the Theft Acts within the context of e-Crimes. Although the Act is portrayed to be a little harsh on the one hand, in comparison with the Theft Acts, the Act is certainly equipped as a better prosecution tool to deal with e-Crimes, on the other..

...inexplicáveis e pessoas incomparáveis" como vocês! Obrigado por tudo, Filipe Abstract The Retail Banking Industry has been severely affected by fraud over the past few years. Indeed, despite all the research and systems available, fraudsters have been able to outsmart and deceive the banks and their customers. With this in mind, we intend to introduce a novel and multi-purpose technology known as Stream Computing, as the basis for a Fraud Detection solution. Indeed, we believe that this architecture will stimulate research, and more importantly organizations, to invest in Analytics and Statistical Fraud-Scoring to be used in conjunction with the already in-place preventive techniques. Therefore, in this research we explore different strategies to build a Streambased Fraud Detection solution, using advanced Data Mining Algorithms and Statistical Analysis, and show how they lead to increased accuracy in the detection of fraud by at least 78% in our reference dataset. We also discuss how a combination of these strategies can be embedded in a Stream-based application to detect fraud in real-time. From this perspective, our experiments lead to an average processing time of 111,702ms per transaction, while strategies to further improve the performance are discussed.

...Economic Reform in South Korea: An Unfinished Legacy by Marcus Noland, Peterson Institute for International Economics Paper prepared for the conference "Korea as a 21st Century Power" University of Cambridge April 3-6, 2002 © Peterson Institute for International Economics Introduction Since 1997 South Korea has been on an economic and political roller coaster. Between 1997 and 1998 forecasts of annual economic growth swung from +7 percent to -7 percent, and the country elected Kim Dae-jung, former dissident, future Nobel Peace Prize winner (and University of Cambridge honoree), and avowed economic reformer, president. However President Kim's weak electoral position—he was with only a plurality of support and forced to form a governing coalition with an ideologically dissimilar conservative party—and the continuing regional nature of South Korean politics have impeded the formation of a stable political coalition in favor of reform. Today, despite the enormous political power granted to the executive under the South Korea constitution, Kim is effectively a lame duck. Constitutionally limited to a single term, he confronts a hostile national assembly controlled by the political opposition, his personal popularity has fallen below 30 percent, and his party is trailing in public opinion polls in the run-up to December's presidential elections. Yet in spite of these challenges, a hundred other countries would envy the forecast of 5 percent growth and five percent unemployment...
