...Literature Review Ms.Stuti Pardhe Northwest Nazarene University Chapter II: Literature Review First Draft Introduction The research topic discussed in this literature review addresses the question of what human service agencies in the state of Idaho do to combat domestic minor sex-trafficking. The purpose of this research study is to explore the ideology of different research studies that explain and identify effective strategies to prevent domestic minor-sex trafficking in neighborhoods and communities. Sex-trafficking is a social problem because, “the crime of people trafficking is an assault on human rights” (Heredia, 2008, p. 399). The issue of Fighting against sex-trafficking was addressed at the UN convention when a protocol was set to tackle the problems of sex-trafficking. There are strategies and interventions used by international and national human service agencies to assist the sex-trafficking victims. Shared Hope International and partner non-profit organizations stated the importance of protecting the victims, preventing the crime and prosecuting the perpetrators, and also have decided to act upon the problem (Shared Hope International, 2009). Further in the study, the researcher will provide detailed analysis of the strategies used by the human service agencies to aid the victims of trafficking. These strategies will include training law enforcement to investigate human trafficking cases, improving communication between the human service agencies and law...

...Thesis: One of the biggest agencies within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Office of the Commissioner and four directorates administer the core functions of the agency which are medical products and tobacco, foods and veterinary medicine, global regulatory operations and policy, and operations. While being a huge, big named agency designed to protect and provide public health; there are necessary regulations and guidelines to ensure the purpose of the agency is being met. This paper will explore the needs, stakeholders, expected outcomes, and other regulatory action and implementation of the FDA. Introduction: The Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA) is a regulation which was proposed by The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) to establish a list of “qualifying pathogens” that are likely to cause serious harm to public health. FDASIA utilizes the agency’s ability to protect and improve public health by giving the authority to collect user fees, promoting innovation, increasing stakeholder involvement, and enhancing the safety of the drug supply chain. Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a “staph” germ that does not improve with the first-line antibiotics that typically cure staph infections. When this takes place, the germ is “resistant” to the antibiotic. This class of antibiotics includes penicillin, amoxicillin, oxacillin, methicillin, and others. (MRSA...

(Kaluzny & McLaughlin, 2006, p.318) The majority of CRO growth is accounted for by pharmaceutical & biotechnology industries. The contract research organization is contracted by a sponsor or client to perform several functions and duties related to clinical trials. (Kaluzny & McLaughlin, 2006, p. 319) The clinical trials are designed to obtain regulatory approval to market new pharmaceutical or biotechnology products. (Kaluzny & McLaughlin, 2006, p. 319) The services they perform for such clients as pharmaceutical companies include: “consulting and advice related to the design of drug development programs to labor-intensive services that are part of the drug development process; these include clinical monitoring of investigational sites, data management and statistical analysis, and presentations of regulatory submissions for review by regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration”. (Kaluzny & McLaughlin, 2006, p. 319) The FDA in the United States clearly mandate practices to protect the public’s health by implementing laws, regulations, and guidelines that provide oversight of the drug development...

...Administrative Agencies This write-up expounds on Group Four’s perspective of how agencies in the United States of America affect our lives. The group has provided a list of agencies that play similar and at times very different roles in ensuring the quality of life we have come to expect is never compromised. The write-up explains some of Group Four members’ real life experiences, offering recommendations as to how one should address the negative impact(s) a particular agencies has had on his or her life. Lastly, the write-up explains the role of the courts in address any negative experiences any individual may have had with any of the agencies and the limitations of the courts’ review of the agencies decisions that lead to the negative impact. Which agencies regulate some aspect of your lives? The longer the list, the more interesting this exercise should be, so take some time to brainstorm a thorough answer to this question.

...Assignment II: Force Field Analysis Denisha Hightower Morgan State University SOWK 608.185 Professor Sandra Austin The Human Service agency that will be described in this paper will identify the organizational issue, pin point a solution, strategize how to implement the solution and lastly determine how to assess if there was a change in the issue. This paper will also provide an analysis chart on the organization’s Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) and an appendix of both the SWOT analysis and an Organizational chart will be provided. The agency that was selected to be analyzed is a public governmental agency which was established in 1975 to aide families and persons who experience financial hardships and need assistance in obtaining basic necessities such as food and shelter to become self-sufficient. The organization also administers federally funded programs to aid individuals in obtaining medical assistance, financial stability through Family Investment Services and Nutritional needs through a food funding program. The organization further delegates other state programs for homeless people, child and adult protection and investigation, as well as programs extended for women victims of domestic violence. The organization’s mission is to aid and pursue those who are struggling economically, provide preventative services and protect defenseless children and adults.

...preventing maltreatment in high-risk families, whose children have already been maltreated. But, as Jane Waldfogel explains, it has also begun developing prevention procedures for children at lower risk—those who are referred to CPS but whose cases do not meet the criteria for ongoing services. Preventive services delivered by CPS to high-risk families, says Waldfogel, typically include case management and supervision. The families may also receive one or more other preventive services, including individual and family counseling, respite care, parenting education, housing assistance, substance abuse treatment, child care, and home visits. Researchers generally find little evidence, however, that these services reduce the risk of subsequent maltreatment, although there is some promising evidence on the role of child care. Many families receive few services beyond periodic visits by usually overburdened caseworkers, and the services they do receive are often poor in quality. Preventive services for lower-risk families often focus on increasing parents’ understanding of the developmental stages of childhood and on improving their child-rearing competencies. The evidence base on the effectiveness of these services remains thin. Most research focuses on home-visiting and parent education programs. Studies of home...

The best way in which the HR can be managed is decided by the HRD. The ways in which the human resource management is done has changed considerably in the recent years. The HR activities and functions can now be delivered, not only by the specialised Human Resource professionals, but also through outsourcing (Ulrich 1996; Tremblay, Party and Lanoi 2008). The HR outsourcing can be defined as the purchasing of the HR functions and services from a third party supplier.
