...Name: Gerard White ID number: X00107665 Date: 24/6/2013 Title: Systems Validation Assignment 1. Outline the typical testing that is conducted when executing an IQ protocol. Once the process equipment or systems have been designed and selection has been completed it is necessary to perform tests to ensure that the equipment or systems supplied are installed as specified based on the manufacturers, contractors or designers specifications and drawings. It is about establishing confidence that all of the equipment or systems used in the manufacturing process meet the specified requirements and are appropriately designed, constructed, placed, and installed to facilitate maintenance, adjustment, cleaning, and use. It is also necessary to validate that all the critical training has been provided for the operation of the equipment or process. There are a number of tests and checks required when executing the installation qualification protocol and they are as follow: 1) Examining the equipment or process design. This involves documenting all the hardware systems supplied with regards to the model and serial numbers whilst performing visual checks on all of the equipment. Checking the supplied software, referencing and documenting the program number and title, the version number and last date modified. Also checking the back up software and documentation supplied. The key documents that would need to be referenced for these checks are...

...Introduction to Psychological Testing Psychological testing is used in many areas today, the term test in psychological testing refers to a “procedure used to establish the quality, performance, or reliability of something or someone, before it is used in a widespread manner” When it comes to psychological testing these tests are either in written form, visual form, or verbal form through evaluations (Dorland, 2007). Psychological testing is also known as psychological assessments, these tests are used by psychologists to help them get a better idea of a person’s behavior (Framingham, 2001). Many psychologists and companies also use these tests to help them with problems solving, in many different areas for a person including mental health issues, personality issues, and to test IQ (Framingham, 2001). Psychological tests are used to measure people’s performance however they can also tests what is going on with the person in the present, psychological tests cannot predict how a person will be in the future (Framingham, 2001). When it comes to psychological tests, there are many different kinds and styles, there are four major types used one of the clinical interview, assessment of intellectual functioning, personality tests, and behavioral tests (Framingham, 2001). There are also other non-primary tests used for achievement in school, career, work, counseling, management skills, and career planning (Framingham, 2001). Psychological tests are used to help with numerous...

...Psychological Testing in the Workplace Tamara Walker PSY 435 October 17, 2011 Christopher Reid Psychological Testing in the Workplace With companies faced with an increasingly competitive business environment, employers are turning to I/O psychologists for employment testing as a way to improve his or her work environment. In a survey recently taken, 40% of Fortune 100 companies stated that his or her employment selection systems included some form of psychological testing by an I/O psychologist (Shaffer & Schmidt, 1999). A similar survey that was taken by the American Management Association showed 44% of its responding applicants used testing to select his or her potential employees (Shaffer & Schmidt, 1999). While the most commonly used form of psychological testing in the workplace is the cognitive ability tests, personality tests are also being used more and more frequently. Psychological Tests A psychological test is a series of standardized problems or questions that assess a certain individual characteristic. Tests are commonly used to assess many KSAOs, including knowledge, skill, ability, attitudes, interests, and personality (Spector, 2008). There are three types of psychological tests used in the workplace to help differentiate between those used for pre-employment or retention. Essentially pre-employment is called the "recruiting radar." These tests are ability tests, personality tests, and emotional intelligence tests (Spector, 2008). Ability...

You suspect the company of falsely advertising the benefits of taking their pills. Suppose you take a sample of 100 product users and find that only 5% have lost at least 10 pounds. Is this enough to prove your claim? What about if 72% had lost at least 10 pounds? Goal: 9.1 Elements of a Hypothesis Test 1. Assumptions 2.

...subsequent reanalysis, of relevant data obtained from many studies using statistics, with a view to providing a more coherent conclusion regarding a given hypothesis. The initial compilation of such a study is arduous, requiring many hours of dedicated searching. This in itself is one of the strengths of such a technique, providing somewhat of a fine tooth comb for research already conducted and also allowing for integration of unpublished data which may have been of influence; this will be discussed in more depth later. Studies must be first sourced and validated, and then results can be combined making use of the statistical data; probability (p) and effect size (both will be explained shortly) to test the original hypothesis. Hypothesis testing relies upon probability (p) to determine whether a positive relationship can be seen between an independent variable (IV) and an independent variable (DV). IV describes the feature that is chosen to test, for example in the hypothesis ‘Does passive smoking increase the chances of lung cancer’ the IV would be passive smoking, therefore the DV would be lung cancer, as it potentially is dependent on the presence of passive smoke. The Null Hypothesis is the ‘no effect’ proposition, in this example ‘ Smoking has no effect on the occurrence of lung cancer’. In order to establish the acceptance of either the Research Hypothesis or the Null Hypothesis the researcher must determine the likelihood of their study conclusions being due to chance; this...

...Amber Jacobson M. Cook 16 November 2012 English 1301.30 E4, Persuasion Voices Not Heard Seeing the face of a helpless animal can break your heart. Many animals go through torturous testing on a day to day basis that they cannot help, nor can they defend themselves. Since Ancient Greek times, animals have been undergoing cruel and inhumane medical testing that should not be done for the benefits of the human race. Animal testing is wrong because it is cruel, costly, harmful to animals, unreliable, and outdated. Animal testing has been around since the times of the Ancient Greeks. Between seventeen million and twenty-two million animals are used for biomedical research each year (Leepson). Many believe that animals do have rights, and there are many organizations out there to trying to ensure their safety and help them get out of the horrible treatments they endure. For example, the ASPCA, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, has been around since 1866 trying to curb the gruesome treatment of humans to animals. The ASPCA tries to prevent the abuse and neglecting of animals around the nation. They set up shelters for animals and they give vaccines and anything else they may need. The different types of animals being tested are endless; from mice to sheep, they all serve their own purpose in the medical field. Even though these animals have helped scientist break through some medical mysteries, it is still inhumane how they have to suffer in...

...concepts of the ratio of the benefits and risk, and defining ethics of the use of animals in research. Animal research is a topic which is ethically sound and a concerning manner to researchers of the psychological field. There are issues of tests run on the animals which are controversial in manner and a part of the (APA) American Psychological Association ethical issue. The APA is a organization for psychologists in the United States, and designs rules and guides the profession of psychologists as well as other medical personnel. The impact of the testing of animals in the research of psychology will be included in the discussion. Ethics in Psychological Research Paper Animals in Research Ethics help guide researchers around ethical dilemmas that may arise when conducting research. Example questions would be is it acceptable to avoid telling the participant of a study as to what the researcher is looking for and testing about? In what instances is it acceptable and when is it not? The development of research ethics helps guide researchers to find the necessary answer to the different question types (Shaughnessy, Zechmeister, & Zechmeister, 2009). Conducting a scientific research is when researchers look for facts, try to prove theories, and declare the findings the truth, and those conducting research must use the ethics guidelines (Shaughnessy, Zechmeister, & Zechmeister, 2009). The research study or projects could be a loss if the start of the research begins...

...the organization first caught the public's attention in the summer of 1981 during what became known as the Silver Spring monkeys case, a widely publicized dispute about experiments conducted on 17 macaque monkeys inside the Institute of Behavioral Research in Silver Spring, Maryland. The group first came to public attention in 1981 during the Silver Spring monkey’s case, a dispute about experiments conducted by researcher Edward Taub on 17 macaque monkeys inside the Institute of Behavioral Research in Silver Spring, Maryland. (Eldercare Home Health, 2012) The case led to the first police raid in the United States on an animal laboratory, triggered an amendment in 1985 to the United States Animal Welfare Act, and became the first animal-testing case to be appealed to the United States Supreme Court, which upheld a Louisiana State Court ruling that denied PETA's request for custody of the monkeys. Pacheco had taken a job in May 1981 inside a primate research laboratory at the Institute, intending to gain firsthand experience of working inside an animal laboratory. Taub had been cutting sensory ganglia that supplied nerves to the monkeys' fingers, hands, arms, and legs, a process called "deafferentation" so that the monkeys could not feel them; some of the monkeys had had their entire spinal columns deafferented. He then used restraint, electric shock, and withholding of food and water to force the monkeys to use the deafferented parts...

...Animal Testing Introduction The application of animals to test a large number of products from household compounds and cosmetics to Pharmaceutical products has been considered to be a normal strategy for many years. Laboratory animals are generally used in three primary fields: biomedical research, product security evaluation and education. (Animal Experiments) It has been estimated that approximately, 20 million animals are being used for testing and are killed annually; about 15 million of them are used to test for medication and five million for other products. Reports have been generated to indicate that about 10 percent of these animals are not being administered with painkillers. The supporters of animal rights are pressurizing government agencies to inflict severe regulations on animal research. However, such emerging criticisms of painful experimentation on animals are coupled with an increasing concern over the cost it would have on the limitation of scientific progress. (Of Cures and Creatures Great and Small) Around the world, animals are utilized to test products ranging from shampoo to new cancer drugs. Each and every medication used by humans is first tested on the animals. Animals were also applied to develop anesthetics to ease human ailments and suffering during surgery. (Animal Experiments) Currently, questions have been raised about the ethics surround animal testing. As a result several regulations have been put in place to evaluate and control the...

Project Managers always undermine the impact the testing activity has on the Project Cost and Schedule. Hence the testing activity is usually unplanned and uncontrollable. As the project manager assumes that the main focus of the testing activity in the project is not to meet the project schedule. But Its is a reality that a thorough and close monitoring of the Testing project is required to increase productivity, reduce cycle -time and improve quality.
