...Social Control and Criminal Deviance: Bullying Student: Khandoker Shfiqul Haque Professor: Edward Hernandez Intro to Sociology Date: 08/07/2015 Any scientific research involves a systematic process that focuses on being objective and gathering a multitude of information for analysis so that the researcher can come to a conclusion. This process is used in all research and evaluation projects, regardless of the research method (scientific method of inquiry, evaluation research, or action research). Research to analyze bulling, I would emphasize to analyze statistical documents e.g school reports on bulling all real time reports in magazines and journals and interviewing a handful of students to learn their experiences. Steps towards the research will include, the first step in the process is to identify a problem e.g bulling relates by the peers? The next steps after that is, as the problem has been identified, the researcher must learn more about the topic under investigation. To do this, the researcher must review the literature related to the research problem. In the 3rd step, the researcher clarifies the problem and narrows the scope of the study. This can only be done after all the literature has been reviewed. Next to clearly defined the term of concept, what we are really looking to as a topic. At this step, target group are finalized to study on ( e.g students in a given school). Data collection and pre assessment are made. When and how the data will be collected...

...BUSN 5200 Homework Assignment for Week 6: 1. Why do we say money has time value? When speaking of time value of money, it refers to the fact that money to be received or paid at different times is worth different amounts as time moves forward. 2. Why is it important for business managers to be familiar with time value of money concepts? This is important for managers to understand because they are expected to maximize the value of todays and all future dollars. Understanding money has a different value at different times will help them make better decisions for future business. 3. Define Present Value. Present value tells us what future money would be worth if we had that money today. 4. Define Future Value. Future value is the value of the item or cash at a specific time/date in the future. 5. What are present value and future value interest factors? (as in PVIF and FVIF) - PVIF is the factor that can be used to make calculations for finding the present value of a series of values. PVIF = FV (1/(1+r)t ) - FVIF is used to calculate the future value of an amount per dollar of its present value with considerations of interest. FVIF = PV ( (1+r)n – 1 / r) 6. (calculating future value) You buy a 6 year, 8% CD for $1,000. Interest is compounded annually. How much is it worth at maturity? r = .08 n = 6 PV = 1,000 FV = $1,586.87*** 7.

...Mr. Murphy does not have a claim under the FLSA, in regards to his lack of pay for ‘overtime’ hours worked and ‘on-call’ qualifications for time worked. According to the Department of Labor: “On-Call time: An employee who is required to remain on call on the employer’s premises is working while “on call.” An employee who is required to remain on call at home, or is allowed to leave a message where he/she can be reached, is not working (in most cases) while on call. Additional constraints on the employee’s freedom could require this time to be compensated (Wage and Hour Division Fact Sheet, 2008).” In Mr. Murphy’s case, he is not at the workplace facility, but at home. (At least inferred from the line I can’t even travel outside the Tri-County area during an on-call period…) Because of this, the employer is not required to pay the employees for their twice a month on-call time. Within Mr. Murphy’s potential claim for his overtime hours of 36-unpaid hours due to his extra time training physically outside of what is considered work-time hours. He felt he needed the extra time to work out in order to keep physically fit for the duties of the job. According to the Department of Labor: “Lectures, Meetings and Training Programs: Attendance at lectures, meetings, training programs and similar activities need not be counted as working time only if four criteria are met, namely: it is outside normal hours, it is voluntary, not job related, and no other work is concurrently performed...

...SCI228 Week6 ilab Definition of Body Mass Index First, the Body Mass Index or BMI, also known as Quetelet’s index(Pruitt, p. 442), measures the ratio of a person’s body weight to their height, and in adult’s correlates strongly with their total body fat content. Further, a body mass index of less than 20 is considered to be underweight, while a body mass index that is between 20 and 25 is considered to be healthy. However, a body mass index in that ranges between 25 and 30 is regarded as overweight. Even more so, a body mass index that is over 30 is regarded as obese. Finally, if a body mass index is 100 or greater, it is regarded as morbidly obese. In order to calculate a person’s BMI, the following formula can be used to determine that value: BMI (kg/m^2) = weight (kg) / height (m)^2 In my personal case, the calculation would be: First convert weight in lbs to kg: 140 lbs / 2.2 lbs/kg = 63.64 kg Then, convert height in inches to meters: 68 in. * 0.0254 m/in. = 1.73 m Square the height in meters: 1.73 m = 2.99 m^2 My personal calculated BMI is: BMI (kg/m^2) = 63.64 kg / 2.99 m^2 = 21.28 kg/m^2 Thus, according to the BMI index, I am classified as being in the healthy range for my personal BMI value. Eating Regiment I have established an everyday eating regiment which will allow me to maintain my current healthy weight by using a meal planning tool from “www.eatthismuch.com.” By using this tool, I have developed a 3-mean plan for any given day based on a 2500 calories-per-day...

...Mind Over Matter Student Name PSY 270 December 7, 2013 The difference between mental illness and insanity is the knowledge of right or wrong. This is also the second prong of the M’Naghten rule. Someone with a mental illness will generally know the difference between right and wrong whereas a person that is insane cannot differentiate between right and wrong. The M’Naghten rule could not be used to defend the actions of a person who drinks alcohol and then murders someone because the person knows drinking alcohol can alter their thoughts and actions. Therefore the person will know that drinking may put themselves and others at risk before they begin drinking. Rational and guilty means the person was fully aware their actions are illegal and wrong. Guilty but insane means the person was aware their actions are wrong, but they do not have control over their actions due to a mental disorder or disease that causes insanity. Not guilty by reason of insanity means the person had a brief period of time they were deemed insane and they were unable to control themselves and they did something they would not otherwise, normally, do. If I were deciding this case I would look at all the facts presented. First, Clark said he was going to kill a police officer and went on the fully explain how he was going to do it. The incident occurred just as he said it would. This means this was premeditated. After firing the shots at the officer, Clark disposed of the weapon. This gives the...

...Candela Corporation has volatile cash flow from operating activities (CFO) over the three years from 2002 to 2004. The firm experienced a net loss in 2002, but has since recorded net profits in 2003 and 2004. CFO was negative and much worse than the net loss in 2002. In 2003, CFO was positive and greater than net income, but in 2004, CFO took a plunge, though still positive, was much less than net income. Accounts receivable grew each year and this has reduced CFO especially in 2002 and 2004. With the exception of 2003 inventories have been increasing, also causing a reduction in CFO. The increases in accounts receivable and inventories could be due to an expansion or poor management of assets. The firm has reduced accounts payable all years despite the current asset increases. In 2003, the income Tax Payable account increased causing CFO to be over $4 million higher than it otherwise would have been, but the impact in 2004 was a reduction in this account causing CFO to be less. Other negative impacts to CFO in 2004 included increases to other current asset accounts and the tax effects of stock options being exercised. Candela has generated cash from the issuance of common stock all three years; however, this source of cash should not be relied on for future cash inflows. The firm needs to focus on increasing CFO. Other than use of a line of credit in 2002, the firm has not used short-term or long-term debt. Since Candela operates globally, foreign exchange rate...

...News Story 1 News Story Your Name HIS 125 June 18, 2012 The Rise of Birth Control Clinics in The United States News Story 2 Today, there is an abundance of information, for any persons seeking birth control. There are different forms for females and males designed to protect against disease and pregnancy. There are also birth control clinics that provide free or low cost services to women. However; this was not always the case with birth control. There have been birth control techniques for thousands of years, which date back to ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. What is now known as “the modern movement of birth control” actually began in Great Britain. The writer Thomas Robert Malthus stirred up the interest regarding the time’s current over-population problem. As a result of his publications, by 1870 a wide range of birth control devices were made available in English and American pharmacies. These devices included; rubber condoms, diaphragms, vaginal sponges, and medicated tampons. Due to the easy access to these devices to the public, both countries created a bill to prohibit the distribution of contraceptives across state lines and through the mail. Before the use of birth control in America, many women had opted for abortions because they either had too many children to take care of or they were simply not ready to parents. In the early 19th century, abortions could be dangerous. Too many abortions often lead the woman’s death because the technology was not yet...

...Running Head: System Integrity and Validation SYSTEM INTEGRITY AND VALIDATION Kudler Fine Foods (KFF) DEBORAH OKAI ACC 542 – ACCOUNTING INFORMATION SYSTEMS December 16, 2013 DAVID PHILLIPS Running Head: System Integration and Validation BRIEF This brief will focus on computer assisted audit tools and techniques (CAATTs) for the audit process and documentation of Kudler Fine Foods (KFF). The purpose of the CAATTs is to facilitate and quicken the audit process for KFF’s accounts receivable, payable, inventory, and payroll systems. Preface KFF has implemented internal controls on its accounting and information systems. It has also targeted four areas of the business system for audit purposes – accounts receivable (AR), accounts payable (AP), inventory, and payroll. Considering the fact that KFF’s business is run on computers, it would be ideal to run the audit process using computer assisted audit tools and techniques (CAATTs). This would increase the efficiency of the audit process. In today’s world of advancing technology and corporate accounting scandals, I think the best technique for auditing KFF would be in the form of continuous auditing. An example is the embedded audit module. This is a procedure where the audit data is collected at the same time as when the client is performing its business operations. The audit module will give the auditor online access to KFF’s data whenever needed....

...During the sixties Americans saw the rise of the counterculture. The counterculture was a group of movements focused on achieving personal and cultural liberation, was embraced by the decade’s young Americans. It included rejection of conventional social norms, reaction to political conservatism of the Cold War period and to extensive Military intervention in Vietnam, and the rejection of racial segregation (lect.,”Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll”, week 6). Because many Americans were members of the different movements in the counterculture, the counterculture influenced American society. As a result of the achievements the counterculture movements made, the United States in the 1960s became a more open, more tolerant, and a freer country. One of the most powerful counterculture movements in the sixties was the civil rights movement. In 1964, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act to end racial discrimination in employment, institutions like hospitals and schools, and privately owned public accommodations. In 1965, congress returned suffrage to black southerners, by passing the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (Foner 2009). In the case of Loving v. Virginia (1967), the Supreme Court ruled that laws prohibiting interracial marriage were unconstitutional(Foner 2009) . Because of the civil rights movement in the sixties, minorities gained more rights than they had prior to the 1960s. During this time, a group of writers became known for jump-starting the rebellion of the youth culture...
