...FRAUD AND SOCIETY ARTICLE SUMMARY 9 This is an article summary of CRYING FOUL: WHISTLEBLOWER PROVISIONS OF THE DODD-FRANK ACT OF 2010, Umang Desai, Loyola University Chicago Law Journal, 2011, 43 Loy. U. Chi. L.J. 427. This Article examines how the Dodd-Frank Act, would encourage whistleblower participation in the promotion of corporate governance in an attempt to restore integrity in the corporate world and the financial markets after the wave of the several of the major fraudulent scandals. The provisions of the Act, are more likely to increase the financial burden on both corporations and the government, but however it has some consequences that could greatly diminish the positive impact of this legislation. To delineate the goals and effects of any whistleblower provisions, it is important to understand the historical treatment of whistleblowers in the legislation and corporate practice. Accordingly, after examining the basic concepts of corporate governance, as well as prior treatment of whistleblowers in the existing whistleblower’s legislation. The primary goals of corporate governance in a market-based system include full disclosure and the production of accurate financial information. Whistleblowers have the potential to play an important role in this system because they are often the first to know when corporate disclosures are inaccurate. Corporate governance regulations are also intended to align the goals of the corporation's leaders with those of its shareholders ...

...The Interplay of Diversity Training and Diversity Beliefs on Team Creativity in Nationality Diverse Teams by Astrid C. Homan, Claudia Buengeler, Robert A. Eckhoff, Wendy P. van Ginkel and Sven C. Voelpel. The journal puts forth the following research question; Does diversity training increase team creativity reflecting in better team cohesion and effectiveness but only for teams with less positive beliefs of diversity. The method in which the research is conducted is through a qualitative study whereas diversity beliefs questionnaires (online) were completed by 192 participants of 41 different nationalities. All of the participants were undergraduate students who were enrolled in an international university located in Germany. One of the gaps in the study was that the study failed to understand the long term effects of diversity training along with addressing the effects of it on individuals who have not been previously exposed to diverse conditions or diverse individuals. Additionally, the diversity training was only conducted for persons within an academic setting and may suggest that people outside of academia would respond much differently to diversity training. The findings of the research suggest and support the idea that a lack of diversity in organizations may be a liability and that providing diversity training to teams and organizations with a little or no diversity can achieve positive results but at the same time, may result in a reduction of creative performance...

...How to Read and Review a Scientific Journal Article: Writing Summaries and Critiques Definition of Genre Summaries and critiques are two ways to write a review of a scientific journal article. Both types of writing ask you first to read and understand an article from the primary literature about your topic. The summary involves briefly but accurately stating the key points of the article for a reader who has not read the original article. The critique begins by summarizing the article and then analyzes and evaluates the author’s research. Summaries and critiques help you learn to synthesize information from different sources and are usually limited to two pages maximum. Actions to Take 1. Skim the article without taking notes: Read the abstract. The abstract will tell you the major findings of the article and why they matter. Read first for the “big picture.” Note any terms or techniques you need to define. Jot down any questions or parts you don’t understand. If you are unfamiliar with any of the key concepts in the article, look them up in a textbook. 2. Re-read the article more carefully: Pay close attention to the “Materials and Methods” (please note that in some journals this section is at the very end of the paper) and “Results” sections. Ask yourself questions about the study, such as: o Was the study repeated? o What was the sample size? Is this representative of the larger population? o What variables were held constant? Was there...

...Summary of Incorporating Content on Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, transgender and Queer issues in Leading Social Work Journals. Current social work research designates a lack of scholarship on gay and lesbian individuals and communities in leading social work journals. This lack of addition leaves the broader social work community impoverished in its understanding of the issues affecting gay and lesbian people, thus limiting possibilities for social work practice, education, and research with these populations. All article examining the inclusion of content on gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer (GLBTQ) identities. The six selected journals ranged from 0% to 5.0% in their attention to GLBTQ issues. The research summary will show you the information about gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans gender’s issue in their limited Social work. Founded on content analysis of publications between 1998 and 2007 in six high-profile social work journals (Child Welfare, Families in Society, Research on Social Work Practice, Social Service Review, Social Work, and Social Work Research), the authors determine the extent to which GLBTQ topics are represented in mainstream social work research, and they assess articles’ substantive area of focus, levels of analysis (for example, macro, micro), and population of focus and the demographic characteristics of empirical samples. For example, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer (GLBTQ) identities are a salient topic for the social...

A Test of the Political Control of Bureaucracies under Asymmetric Information. Rationality & Society, [e-journal] 20(4), p.445-470. Available from: [Accessed 30 November 2015]. Summary : The main purpose of this article is to review the logic of the Banks-Weingast prediction about political control of the bureaucracy under asymmetric information, in other words the interaction between informational role of interest groups and institutions as politician seek to control the bureaucracy is investigated. The authors doesn’t claim to take a particular perspective. The author concludes the article by stating that the agenda-setting power of the bureaucrats themselves should be fully addressed. Evaluation: I think this journal targets professional readers. One of the weaknesses of this article is that it is very difficult to understand, especially for public readers. A lot of professional terms and concept have been use in this article. I find the text reliable because the author is a professor of public policy who has expertise in public policy and organization studies. Dr. Whitford, the author of this article is an elected Fellow of the National Academy of Public Administration and lectured or conducted research in numerous countries such as South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, Germany, and the United Kingdom, among others.

...lower the national debt. Titus, R.D. (2016). Puff, Puff, Pass…That Law: The Changing Legislative Environment of Medical Marijuana Policy. Harvard Journal On Legislation, 53 (1), 39-58. Summary of article: In recent years, a few states have legalized medical marijuana for recreational use. The article identifies how the government is placing their taxes on the newly legalized drug. A sample of what I will be using from this article would be, “Federal income taxation of medical marijuana is the same as for cocaine or heroin; the only permitted adjustment to gross revenues in calculating federal taxable income is cost of goods sold.” (Titus pg. 2). There is a lot of information that I am looking for to help me with my paper. Assessment of article: I found this source on the school library. The author name is R. D. Titus and she is a writer at Harvard Journal. This articles publication was in 2016. The author and the article gave a lot of information about taxing the sale of medical marijuana in sates that already passed the law about recreational use and dispensaries selling the product. I found this article in the school library is it is 100% a scholarly article. I will be using as much information I can find that relates to my topic about the cost and taxing on medical marijuana sales. Reflection on article: Based on this article, I can claim that the money coming from taxing medical marijuana helps deduct money to the national debt. The taxing on medical marijuana is high...
