Identify key characteristics of community-based participatory research, and explain how these characteristics could enhance community health initiatives. A range of partnership approaches to research within the field of public health have been introduced in recent years including community-based participatory research (Israel & Parker, 2006)
443). When tobacco dependence reaches a chronic condition, frequent and repeated interventions by healthcare professionals are required (Lenz, 2013)
6. Why are oral diseases considered a neglected epidemic in the United States, and why is oral health important? Oral diseases affect people all income levels, but because they affect more people in lower-income segments of American society, they are regarded as a neglected epidemic in the United States (Peterson & Bourgeois, 2005)
g., behavioral therapies, group and individual counseling, quitlines, pharmacotherapy (all types of NRT, Bupropion, Varenicline), quit-and-win strategies, and text messaging) have been shown to significantly improve cessation rates (Tripathy, 2013)
Jolie has attributed her choice of career to her mother's influence, particularly since the latter made a point of taking her daughter to the cinema from the time that she was a young girl. And it was due to her mother's permission that the actress was allowed to live with her boyfriend -- for a period of approximately two years -- when she was 14 years old (Kasle, 2003)
One can attribute Jolie's ideals to Freud's concept of the superego, which is akin to the hereditary nature of the influence of the actresses' parents. However, her needs -- such as that which were engendered by her inability to fit in during high school and her preoccupation with pain and expressions of mortality -- are attributable to her id (LeMouse, 2012)
Yet on another far more introspective and emotional level, the specific influence of Jolie's family was quite profound on her emotional development. Her parent's relationship with one another, and that which subsequently followed with her, was tumultuous and placed the child, who was only one-year-old at the time that her parents separated due to her father Jon Voight's infidelities (Poole, 2002), in a state of emotional (and even some physical) insecurity as a result
Increasing skill levels with spreadsheet, database, and presentation applications are further enhancements that can help one get a higher-paying job. Extending technology knowledge further through networking, developer and programming skills" makes a manager's qualifications even more desirable (Carew 2012)
But companies are starving for highly skilled workers. And the discrepancy has been getting worse" (Hasham 2012)
.In an educational system where graduation from high school at a minimum level often means no grasp of mathematics beyond basic arithmetic, no training in basic personal finance, and no marketable professional skills, this is an obvious problem" (Hornig & Daley 2012)
While no manger can be fluent in every language and every culture, he or she must be aware of the potential benefits of diversity. "A diverse employee base can better understand and communicate with different types of customers and thus better serve their diverse needs; a team composed of diverse members has the advantage of more information, richer perspectives, and a greater number of approaches to solving problems than a team composed of the same type of people" (Knouse 2012)
. Without additional technical skills, many unemployed people are unqualified for the specialized positions that are currently available" (Kurtzleben 2012)
. ] that successful businesses are by their very nature corrupt is itself corrupting to students in business-ethics classes" (Berlau & Spun, 2002)
For example, only one Enron employee, Sherron Watkins, warned chief Kenneth Lay the company was overstating its' worth and faced disaster, but she was not listened to, and the unethical practices continued. Even after Enron, the pervading notion in America seems to be that "greed is good is now 'essentially operating in the mainstream of North American society'" (Hunkin, 2002)
For case in point, a production firm had to fragment an almost $20 million database venture because of disconnectedly defined merchandise data along with inferior quality. A publishing and broadcasting firm used four years for cracking down client data that had been acquired from a dozen different archives (English, 1996)
" Data mining" can be defined as a procedure for making breakthroughs by excavating unidentified and actable information from huge and secure databases in favor of making practical business decision. Data mining evokes algorithms, which itemize designs from, or equip models to, data (Fayyad, 1997)
Companies have been amassing huge quantities of data. The range of the business world's data is predicted to double every year and a half (Frawley et al
, 1991). The typical Fortune 500 business deals with more than a terabyte of digital information - that is amid 20 million to 500 million text reports and pages - every day, with 57% yearly increase (Kempster, 1998; Zorn et al
The purpose of data mining is to reveal previously hidden associations between variables that are potentially relevant for managerial decision making. The exploratory and modeling techniques used in data mining are familiar to many statisticians and include exploratory tools such as histograms, scatterplots, boxplots, and analytic tools such as regression, neural nets, and decision trees (Kelly, 2005)
Previously, companies developed and applied "executive information systems" (EIS) along with "decision support systems" (DSS) to give assimilated presentations from broken and incoherent data that quite often got sorted from operational computer structures. Despite the fact that information given from an EIS or DSS had often been assimilated, significant, and practical, executives started to recognize that excavating huge quantities of data from a data warehouse might outcome in more precise information outlines and enhanced accurateness in market evaluation (Phillips, 1997)
