...` Reflection Reflection For this week’s assignment, we were to execute “the steps in testing a research hypothesis, compare the means of two or more groups, and calculate the correlation between two variables.” Phoenix. (2016). Also, we were to reflect on topics we liked, struggled with and to show how we apply them to our real life. The steps in testing a research hypothesis In McClave text book, five steps of testing a research hypothesis were identified. According to McClave "specifying the null hypothesis, specifying the alternative hypothesis, the level of significance of the test, calculating the test statistic, and summarizing the results to obtain the conclusion"(McClave, Benson, & Sincich, 2011). The first two steps were specifying the null hypothesis and specifying the alternative hypothesis. HA1: There is significant relationship between turnover in BMIS and Employees satisfaction Ho1: There is no significant relationship between turnover in BMIS and Employees satisfaction With the research hypothesis, its’ known to be the thesis which was generated by an analysis that’s used to determine the conclusion of the experiment. It’s important that the hypothesis is testable and can to prove accuracy. Comparing the means of two or more groups There are many times when comparing the means of two or more groups is very useful. When researching it is important to collect as much information as possible about the two...

...Team D: Week Six Reflection LAw 531 September 19, 2011 Jon Jamieson Team D: Week Six Reflection Since the inception of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, companies are finding it more difficult to understand the mounting government regulations imposed on conducting business here and abroad. The trends that exist because of corruption within the business world are astounding; however, aggressive enforcement by the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) has brought compliance process systems into the forefront of high level management and board of director’s minds. However, with the economic downfall and high unemployment rates companies are having to more with less, causing compliance risk management plans to be out on the back burner. This should not be a reason to fall back on as an excuse not to have a program in place; it is even more vital to organizational success given the global outlook and doing business with so many foreign countries. According to the article, Anticorruption Trends, the most important factor of having an FCPA compliance program is being able to show that it works and is being used. One of the compliance issues discussed in an article was bribery. According to the reading, not only is the U.S. interested in preventing overseas bribery, but so are other governments; they have also begun to adopt a no-nonsense attitude with respect to bribery. Organizations are exercising caution...

Our study is the first to map changes in preferred orientation and lattice parameter as a function of position within enamel across a whole tooth section with such high resolution. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction with a micro-focused beam spot was used to collect two-dimensional (2D) diffraction images at 150 mm spatial resolution over the entire tooth crown. Contour maps of the texture and lattice parameter distribution of the hydroxyapatite phase were produced from Rietveld refinement of diffraction patterns generated by azimuthally sectioning and integrating the 2D images. The 002 Debye ring showed the largest variation in intensity. This variation is indicative of preferred...

A database collects records or stores information that is stored in a computer in a logical manner so that the information can be stored, managed, or retrieved. Databases are useful for large amounts of data and producing reports and documents for school or a workplace environment. There are a number of ways that the database can contribute to the success of the company. Whereas, managers are able to make accurate decisions based upon the information that is stored within the database. The information allows the organization of the company to reduce costs, increase profits, and analyze data to make future predictions on the interests. In class, we went over (DBMS) Database management Systems it provides users with accessing all the data. Which, companies that use DBMS systems as its single pointed of management for all of its data resources as part of a database environment. Which DBMS leads to three types of problems they are Data redundancy, data isolation, and data inconsistency. Data reduncy is the same data that is stored in many places, data isolation is applications cannot access data associated with other applications, and data inconsistency...

...They can be cited as follows: 1. Self-learning methodology that is available in the nature of the development files depends on the maturity and motivation of the student. For this reason it may not be convenient for the all types of learning styles. 2. If the teachers do not direct the students enough about reflection and not support them, students cannot be sure about how to make reflections and this can cause shyness. 3. Development files consist of both process and product. If necessary time is not spent on the process of development files, the resulting product (outcome) will be poor. In this respect, development files are time consuming. 4. If the necessary software, hardware and devices are easily obtained to create electronic development files, it can be costly for a person to obtain them by himself/herself. 5. Creating electronic development files requires technological knowledge and skills. Some pupils might not have the technical know-how and consequently feel overchallenged. 6.

...In the 21st Century, learning skills and innovation have become fundamental requirements for all learners. Educators and teachers should pay more attention on improving their own abilities and skills in teaching processes and learning management in order for students to possess life-long knowledge and skills. Students should be active learners, and the teacher should play a role as a learning facilitator. Teachers should focus on designing effective teaching techniques in order to encourage student participating in classroom activities, asking students what they have learned and what they would like to learn more. These methods are similar to the concept of education in Singapore, “Teach Less, Learn More” (Panich, 2012). The student-centered...

Davis, Jr. ACC/542 October 21, 2013 Irene Branum Preface In the last few weeks the accounting firm, Team D has looked into characteristics of Kudler Fine Foods and provided recommendations to update and replace existing components of the IT system. These recommendations made can yield in the company’s increased productivity, profitability, and remove potential threats. Team D determined that industry specific software is useful in comparison to customized software. Four main modules such as payroll, account payable, accounts receivable, and inventory were developed as well as enhancement of each flowchart based on the appropriate system. Team D examined the database completeness at Kudler’s intranet and developed a pivot table; therefore, making the decision-making process easy. External and internal risks were analyzed and internal control points were developed by incorporating both risks and controls into a flowchart. Team D also showed why findings and recommendations are more useful to the company in comparison to SAS70 and SAS94 audits. The team identified events that will lessen the dependence on auditing through computer and showed a brief description how the audit should be conducted. System Integrity and Validation Kudler Finer Foods has looked for recommendations regarding the company, to include computer information system, automated process of an accounting information system, data table analysis, internal control...

...formed in 1903. Like any company that has many different functions of management there are also organizational resources that relate to how those functions come together and help ensure the success of a company. Monetary assets, human resources, and technology are some of the organizational resources that I will explain in the following paragraphs. Monetary assets are important to every company and Ford is no different. When Ford establishes their goals and the strategies associated with the different functions of management, funds will then be set aside for resources and labor that will ensure that the tasks and goals that were introduced can be achieved. When the money is spent, there are financial statements that change to show the reflection of what was spent. Analyzing these statements is the common method to monitor the progress of the plans and the progress that was set into motion by the management. The organization of monetary assets is one of the most important aspects of any company. It becomes a crucial part of planning in the function of management that Ford has the best people in position to make sure a proper system is set to maintain the high standards necessary for a successful company. Effective bookkeeping allows reports to be viewed by the employees that are held accountable to make decisions based in budgets and spending. It also ensures that Ford can have the necessary proof of receipts for all monetary transactions that the company will have to show revenue...

...The Six thinking hats was developed by Edward de Bono in 1985. It has since become an international bestseller and integrated into many corporations for decision making saving tremendous amount of time and giving clear focus to complex business case situations. It focuses on “what can be” versus “what is”. Traditional thinking was defined 2300 years ago by the “Greek Gang of Three” Plato, Socrates and Aristotle. Their thinking was based on an argumentative model which is fine but not complete. Six thinking hats uses constructive, or parallel thinking model using the analogy of six hats to represent each perspective. The six hats are: - The white hat – facts and figures - The red hat - emotions and feelings - The black hat – cautious and careful - The yellow hat – Speculative and positive - The green hat - creative thinking - The blue hat – control of thinking This method is an excellent technique for making sure a problem is analyzed from all directions. It is a process that makes case analysis simple. It succeeds for several reasons: Power: The technique allows members of a group to go in one direction rather than defending a position. The experience and knowledge from all members is directed at the case. Time Saving: following the process and eliminating the argumentative method decisions are made more quickly, less time arguing. Removal of Ego: presenting and defending an idea can be become a defense of your ego versus real problem solving. With parallel...
