...Jury Selection Process Paper David L. Clay CJS/211 August 10, 2015 Johnny Cotton Jury Selection Process Paper In this paper we will discuss what the author in The Color of Justice: Race Ethnicity, and Crime in America refers to as the disparity “in the jury selection process”. In this paper we will address the processes and cases that have helped control the systematic discrimination of the court process, how the jury nullification is used in relation to diversity, as well as discussing the use of peremptory challenges to jury selection and the impact on the jury composition. In order to fully discuss these issues you must first know the definition of disparity. Disparity is defined as inequality were things are different or not equal. The disparity that is explained by the author is in reference to how African American and Mexican Americans were excluded from the process of jury selection but was found to be protected according to the Equal protection Clause in the 14th Amendment. It states that they cannot be prohibited from serving on a jury. In the beginning jury selection was geared toward white males only. The process of jury selection is usually compiled from two major sources of voter registration cards and driver’s license. One case that represents the control of the systematic discrimination is the case of the Scottsboro boys. Nine African American boys were accused of raping two white girls on a train. The boys were convicted of a capital offense. In...

...ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT, VOL. 49, NO. 1, FEBRUARY 2002 59 R&D Project Selection Using the Analytic Network Process Laura M. Meade and Adrien Presley Abstract—The analytic network process (ANP) is presented as a potentially valuable method to support the selection of projects in a research and development (R&D) environment. This paper first discusses the requirements of the R&D project selection problem, which requires the allocation of resources to a set of competing and often disparate project proposals. Among the factors complicating this task is the need to make the decision within the framework of an enterprise’s strategic objectives and organizational structure while considering and integrating financial and strategic benefits of each project. The paper discusses the use of the ANP, a general form of Saaty’s analytic hierarchy process, as a model to evaluate the value of competing R&D project proposals. A generic ANP model developed by the authors, which includes in its decision levels the actors involved in the decision, the stages of research, categories of metrics, and individual metrics, is presented. The paper concludes with a case study describing the implementation of this model at a small high-tech company, including data based on the actual use of the decision making model. Index Terms—Analytic hierarchy process, analytic network process, multicriteria decision making, project selection, R&D management, R&D projects. I. INTRODUCTION OR MANY firms, especially...

...I have selected to write about employment laws and court cases in selection testing and assessment. I chose this topic because I have always found laws surrounding business practices to be very interesting and complex. I find the entire selection and recruiting process to be interesting, as well as the different selection practices among businesses. In addition to personally finding this process interesting, it adds a lot of value to me as a future HR professional, as well as to any future employers. Writing this paper will allow me to learn about the different selection testing and assessment tools used by businesses, as well as the different laws involving selection testing. It will help me understand selection testing and assessments better in case I ever need to lead a project regarding a company’s selection testing and assessments or if I am ever involved in anything related to selection testing. I think it will bring me great knowledge to review cases and court ruling about selection testing. It will also benefit me if I decide to become an entrepreneur and open up my own business. I will have an idea of what I can and cannot do when it comes to employee selection testing or assessments if that is the way I will be selecting candidates due to a business necessity. Overall, I believe that I will benefit the most in writing this paper. It will help me develop an area of knowledge as a future HR professional, and it will also help my endeavors with any future...

...Adhikari A Term Paper Submitted to the Faculty of Dr. Gene Boggess Mississippi State University In the Department of Computer Science & Engineering Mississippi State, Mississippi 04 20072 ABSTRACT Any number of practical applications in computing requires things to be in order. The performance of any computation depends upon the performance of sorting algorithms. Like all complicated problems, there are many solutions that can achieve the same results. One sort algorithm can do sorting of data faster than another. A lot of sorting algorithms has been developed to enhance the performance in terms of computational complexity, memory and other factors. This paper choose two of the sorting algorithms among them selection sort and shell sort and compares the various performance factor among them. 1. INTRODUCTION Sorting is the rearrangement of things in a list into their correct lexicographic order. A number of sorting algorithms have been developed like include heap sort , merge sort, quick sort, selection sort all of which are comparison based sort .There is another class of sorting algorithms which are non comparison based sort. This paper gives the brief introduction about sorting algorithms [2] where it discuss about the class of sorting algorithms and their running times. It mainly analyses the performance between two sorting algorithms .Selection sort [3] and Shell sort [5]. Selection sort is the simple...

...businesses or individuals with ease, however, in this paper one can find the behind the scenes programing of such work, which is a bit more detailed than the end user sees. In this paper, one can find instructions on what the end user will need to enter and in which order to enter such information in order to give accurate data output. This will assist in avoiding errors, in order to avoid the garbage in garbage out cliché from occurring to the end user. To avoid this cliché, there is a piece in the instructions and end user prompts, which will identify obvious errors in the process, before finishing the process, which in turn will minimize incorrect data. This step would prompt the end user to review, confirm and correct any information which may look incorrect to the system. One can also find in this paper the examples of how each process works in the background to give accurate results. There will be a total of three artifacts and one set of instructions on how end users must enter data. There will be instructions in programing order, but one can also find following these instructions, charts which may make instructions easier to follow, or at least easier to understand.

...AND SAMPLE SELECTION BIAS V1.2 Paul Blacklow* School of Economics and Finance, University of Tasmania, Private Bag 85, Hobart, TAS 7000 Paul.Blacklow@utas.edu.au *Presenting Author JEL Codes: I21, J23, C25 Keywords: Graduate Employment, Self Selection Bias, Sample Selection Bias Aaron Nicholas Department of Economics, Monash University, Wellington Road, Clayton, VIC 3800 Aaron.Nicholas@buseco.monash.edu.au ABSTRACT This paper examines the probability of a recent university graduate obtaining full-time employment by degree of study. It allows for degree choice to be endogenous (self-selection bias) and adjusts for those graduates not in the labour force who are not typically considered in graduate outcome studies (sample-selection bias). The self-selection problem is able to be identified by using a unique data set that combines data from the 2005 and 2006 Australian Graduate Destination Survey with data from the University of Tasmania’s (UTAS) student administration database, which includes students’ pre-tertiary school results. Degree choice is modelled using a Nested Logit, while labour force participation is modelled using a Probit. Using a ‘Heckit’ type methodology, the Inverse Mills Ratios (pseudo-residuals) from the Nested Logit and the modified Inverse Mills Ratios from the Probit are included in the final Probit model for Employment. Both correction terms are statistically significant at 5% in the employment probability equation. Allowing for self selection significantly...

...early detection of the disease. However, the organization and delivery vary across geographic regions in ways that may influence its effectiveness (Domingo et al., 2015). In this article critique paper, I choose two relevant peer-reviewed articles using case-control study design to explore the effect of mammography screening on breast cancer survival. The first one is Mammography Screening and Risk of Breast Cancer Death: A Population-Based Case–Control Study (Suzie et al., 2011). STUDY AIMS The authors conducted a case–control study to assess the effectiveness of the Dutch population–based program of mammography screening. The hypothesis of this study was that mammography screening was associated with a decreased risk of dying from breast cancer. METHODS A. What was the main outcome of interest? The main outcome was the breast cancer. Data on breast cancer were obtained from the Comprehensive Cancer Center Rotterdam. Causes of death were obtained through linkage with Statistics Netherlands. B. What was the main explanatory variable of interest? Mammography screening was the main explanatory variable of interest. It was measured by the National Supervisory Committee of Population Cancer Screening Registry system. C. What type of study design was this? This was a case–control study. The study design was appropriate because, in order to evaluate the efficiency of mammography screening individually,...

Approach: A review of the factors that trigger corporate rebranding, as reported in academic literature, is made. Following the review, a case is made for the absence of an epistemologically grounded understanding of why firms rebrand. Consequently, the theory of evolution by natural selection is brought forward as a platform for the development of a new model that explicates the causes and process of corporate rebranding. Findings: A new model anchored on the theory of evolution by natural selection, and a new definition of corporate rebranding is advanced. Essentially, the model offers epistemologically grounded reasons for ascendancy of corporate rebranding in the environment. Limitations: This is a conceptual paper – meaning that the model suggested in this study is yet to be subjected to a serious empirical exercise Originality: The review of literature indicates the absence of an epistemologically grounded understanding of the causes and process of corporate rebranding in the business environment. The pursuit...

In the paper analysis it will be quite clear or the assess the constitutional trial rights that are enacted during a jury trial, as well as examine and discuss the selection of a fair and unbiased jury. In any criminal cases or a case that requires a jury; jurors are selected for a courtroom from the pool of available jurors. This is called Selection of jury, which is the first step in a jury trial. The judge and attorneys question the jurors in a process called voir dire, which means “to speak the truth”. This determines if any juror has a personal in the case, a prejudice or bias that wrongly influences the him or her as a juror. The attorneys may challenge some jurors and ask the court to excuse them from that particular trial. There are two types of challenges that attorneys uses during questions for a selection for a potential juror. The challenges are, challenge for cause and peremptory challenge. Peremptory challenges are limited in number and challenges for cause have an unlimited number. The second step is, the opening statements. This is when the attorney of plaintiff and the attorney for the defense outline the proof to be presented to the jury during the trial. Opening statement are not evidence, only expectations of what each attorney expects the evidence to prove. ...

...Strategy and non-technological innovation Assignment for part-time MBA Competitive Strategies, week 6 October 4, 2012 This paper describes the consequences of a non-technical innovation for the strategy of a firm that operates in cultural industry. The example chosen is that of the company Stage Entertainment. In the first part of this paper we will provide a brief history of Stage Entertainment, single out two non-technological innovations and discuss how these innovations have affected the strategic behavious of Stage Entertainment. In the second part we will discuss both the horizontal and vertical processes Stage Entertainment is involved in and argue why one of these should be considered more important to Stage Entertainment’s overall sustainable competitive advantage. Stage Entertainment is the brainchild of the Dutch creative entrepreneur Joop van den Ende (born 1942). Stage Entertainment is the result of a merger of several other entertainment companies owned and run by Van den Ende and was incorporated in 1999. It has seen rapid international expansion and is now active in 9 countries, employing 4000 people. The turnover is €600 million (Nispen, M. van, Jaekele S. and Charrington, J, 2009). Van den Ende describes the strategy of Stage Entertainment as a strategy consisting of three elements (Nispen et al 2009): 1. Venues: programming and managing a network of venues across Europe (i.e. theatres) 2. Productions: presenting a wide range of existing...

...Privacy, Exposure and Price Discrimination Luc Wathieu1 Harvard Business School, Soldiers Field, Boston, MA 02163 (email) lwathieu@hbs.edu (Tel) 617-495-1016 Submitted for presentation at the first QME conference This paper explores the demand for privacy that arises from the loss of consumer surplus when firms gain the ability to treat different consumers differently. It is shown that firms in quest of a competitive advantage may have an incentive to acquire consumer information and use it to gain exclusive access to finer consumer segments, even when the costs of customized marketing are exceedingly high. When such is the case, the opportunity arises for an intermediary to coarsen market access in order to protect consumer surplus and to bar firms from exercising price discrimination. This intermediary could be a mass retailer, a mass media or a diverse community. Formally, the paper analyzes the situation of an intermediary who owns a finer market access system, i.e., the capability to separately access two types of consumers who previously remained undistinguishable. The system could be made available to one firm in exclusivity, or to several firms (two instances of “exposure”), or to no firm at all (“privacy”). The best-bidding agent (from among firms, marginal-type consumers, and mainstream-type consumers) is buying the right to command the equilibrium access allocation. The solution involves either privacy (commanded by mainstream consumers) or exclusive exposure (commanded...

...CRM implementation projects is up to today still not satisfactory (Becker et al. 2009; Finnegan and Currie 2009). Reasons for failing the expectations of involved parties are diverse, but can be summarized under the three dimensions: people, process and technology (Figure 1). Due to the described quality problems and the speed of evaluation results becoming outdated, new CRM solutions or updated versions of established products continuously enter the market. CRM solutions range from simple address and activity management applications to integrated software packages linking front office and back office functions (Chen and Popovich 2003, p. 673). Hence, there exists a multitude of different characterizations for CRM. For the context of this paper a definition by Goldenberg (2000) is used, who describes CRM as a cross-functional, customerdriven, technology-integrated business process management strategy that aims at maximizing relationships and encompasses the entire organization. This definition thereby incorporates all three already mentioned dimensions of the CRM implementation model (people, process and technology) by Chen and Popovich (2003). 1 Ina Friedrich, Jon Sprenger, Michael...
