...Propiedad Familiar, control y efecto generación y RSC En las últimas décadas, la maximización del beneficio económico para los accionistas ha dejado paso a otros objetivos más amplios, pues a partir de la Teoría de los stakeholders se ha puesto de manifiesto la necesidad de que las compañías cubran las expectativas económicas, legales, éticas y discrecionales de todos los grupos de interés. El creciente interés por una gestión de la empresa que atiende las necesidades de sus stakeholders ha contribuido a la consolidación de la Responsabilidad Social Corporativa (RSC) como disciplina de investigación. A pesar de la no existencia de un concepto unánime de RSC, se podría definir ésta como el conjunto de acciones voluntarias de una empresa para mejorar las condiciones sociales y medioambientales en sus negocios y en su interacción con los distintos stakeholders. Aunque la mayor parte de los estudios empíricos previos sobre RSC se han centrado en la relación entre el desempeño social y el rendimiento económico, diversos trabajos han tratado de analizar los factores determinantes de la realización de actividades sociales. En los últimos años se han llevado a cabo estudios empíricos que consideran la estructura de propiedad como un factor explicativo de la RSC. Distintos estudios, han abordado asimismo la influencia de la identidad de los accionistas sobre la transparencia en RSC. Dentro de los distintos tipos de accionistas, la propiedad familiar y su efecto sobre los resultados...

...Beau Demmler ANTH 1200 September 12, 2012 Making the Familiar Strange Scott Carpenter Skate Park, a place I’ve visited many times since attending the University of Colorado at Boulder. Early in my childhood, I developed an interest for extreme sports, especially skateboarding. I quickly became fascinated with the skating scene and started experiencing the sport and its sub-culture. Even before learning anything about anthropology, I instinctively observed a lot of skateboarders and their unique styles. Having that in mind, I felt that the perfect place to conduct my fieldwork would be at a skate park, a location where I feel at home. As I approached the park, I instantly began to notice certain things, which I had never noticed before. I could here the sound of ceramic ball bearings vibrating though the air as the skateboarders’ wheels rotated along the hard cement. The cement was not any ordinary cement, but rather smooth, dense, and abstract to the eye. It went from flat and level, to an ascending curvature ultimately forming the walls, which the skateboarders rode effortlessly. Each skateboarder had a skateboard, which consisted of a black grip material stuck atop a concave plank of wood with each end of the wood curved upward. Underneath this plank, miniature axles were locked into place by bolts and screws, which allowed for four rubber wheels to be attached. The wheels were able to spin freely because of the ceramic ball bearings inside the wheels. All...

...Is recycling becoming a familiar habit? [Writing suggestion: Unless in a quote or a title, avoid rhetorical questions in academic writing. A good idea is to provide answers, not questions] Jason Smart COM/156 January 20 2013 Elizabeth Lennon Is recycling becoming a familiar habit? Individuals and large companies are bearing in mind the advantages of going green. There are several statistics that verify the rise of recycling among large companies and individuals. There has been a two year jump in recycling of household containers twice as much as 2008. Statistics show that 29 percent or 238.8 million pounds of non-bottled plastics were recycled in 2010. All though the data about recycling in enlightening, there are still millions of us tossing harmful chemicals in our garbage. There are still items such as discarded bleach bottles, detergent bottles, and commonly used household cleaning chemicals. We may think that it is acceptable to toss these empty chemical bottles in the trash, but it is not because they still contain residue from the compound products. According to EHS (Environmental Health and Safety) rinse procedures should be as followed. All chemical containers, liquid or solid, must be rinsed 3 times before being discarded. A rinse should consist of minimal water being sloshed around the container. The first rinse should be collected as chemical waste, it can be put into any waste container of compatible chemicals, the second and third rinses can then...

...Deborah Kreitzer Kaplan University CE420: Curriculum Development Prof: Katherine Berry 1/3/2013 Introduction A teacher who has a good understanding of child development and learning is more likely to be effective in the classroom; teachers today are familiar with the many ways children grow and develop. A child’s development and growth can be described from many theoretical points of view. Teachers that can understand and form an opinion about the various theories continuously create new environments, and can plan activities, that manage behaviors in ways that will nurture children according to their ways. Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky each developed theories of child development and can be used in a educational setting. Jean Piaget, a Swiss epistemologist, was the most prominent in the field of cognitive psychology in his time and the most important contributor to the constructivist education theory. His theory of cognitive development was based on the notion that cognitive abilities, one’s ability to think, are developed as individuals mature physiologically and have opportunities to interact with their environment. Vygotsky was a psychologist born in Russia in 1896. Vygotsky was most famous for his theory of sociocultural development and believed that development occurs primarily through interaction with one's culture. Both theorists offered major contributions to the areas of developmental psychology as it applies to education. DeVries, R., &...

...Discuss the 'Fallen Woman' as a Familiar Feature of Victorian Writing Elizabeth Gaskell's Mary Barton may be characterised as a 'social problem' novel. Basch (1974: 263) states, 'Mrs Gaskell's impure women came from ... the work and exploitation which she knew, relatively speaking, better than other novelists.' Gaskell was the wife of a Unitarian clergyman in Manchester. She devoted her time to setting up homes for fallen women, and after Mary Barton women became her central characters, her novels primarily seen through women's eyes. Thomas Hardy, since his career began, has been notably associated with his portrayal of female characters. Erving Howe even writes about 'Hardy's gift for creeping intuitively into the emotional life of women.' (Boumelha 1982: 3) From this point of view, I intend this essay to establish a comparison between Gaskell's 'fallen woman' in Mary Barton and the way in which Thomas Hardy frames his central female character in Tess of the D'Urbervilles.In the context of the nineteenth century, there emerged an increasingly ideological 'rethinking' of sexuality, particularly of the female. Darwin's Origin of Species in 1859 and The Descent of Man later in 1871 argued that men and women were somehow mentally different. Darwinian sociology led to sexual stereotypes such as Clement Scott's 'men are born "animals" and women "angels" so it is in effect only natural for men to indulge their sexual appetites and, hence, perverse, "unnatural" for women to act in the...

...Quality managers frequently encounter a bunch of ethical and legal issues whilst objectifying TQM programs, especially in business ventures which are exceptionally directed, lets take for instance, health care, like in medicinal services organizations, like, hospitals, quality managers are frequently confronted with ethical problems or legal boundaries when they join quality changes in the organization. It is a result of the way healthcare is to an incredible degree coordinated industry and changes proposed by the quality managers frequently struggle with the legal rules or are not fit from ethical perception, one example is those identified with patient's health. So as to address such legal and ethical issues in profoundly controlled workplace where ethics is an extremely delicate issue, Quality managers ought to be included in-or mindful of the moral approach of the organization, for example, hospitals. The combination of ethical and legal issues can best be sought after a specific improvement in quality management has been achieved. Particularly, issues in the field of trustworthiness and business related productivity appear to be fitting for reconciliation. A blend of a regulating and bottom up quality methodology is by all accounts the best approach. The government could invigorate the acknowledgment of combination of quality management and ethical arrangement by encouraging contracts on this issue, utilizing those proposals.

...The media and Hollywood in particular, represent one avenue in which the general public becomes familiar with the role of nurses. How do the media positively or negatively influence the public’s image of nursing? What other avenues may better educate the general public on the role and scope of nursing as well as the changing health care system? The media is known to have immense influences on the public perception from body images to what kind of car people should buy. And the nursing image is not immune to these influences. What Hollywood transmits to the public about nurse’s works much like an advertising industry. Television has represented nurses in varying degrees and not all of them are flattering. We have been portrayed as handmaidens, angels to naughty nurses, crusty battle-axes, incompetent nurses, or drug addicted nurses. Television shows such as House, Nurse Jackie, Hawthorne, Gray’s Anatomy, and Scrubs frequently draw on nursing stereotypes that have the potential to damage the professional nursing image. Just as people are influenced by commercial or political ads, they will be influenced by these shows as well. These images of nursing on medical shows can affect roles in recruitment and retention for the profession. In a survey of student perceptions of nursing image on television, one student noted, “the public could be influenced by nursing on television and draw attention to the consequences of negative depictions of nursing because the public can develop...

...research question is whether exposure to sun and listening to familiar music affects a person’s mood. 2. The research hypothesis is that a person who is exposed to the sun and listens to familiar music would be in a better mood than a person not exposed to the sun and listens to unfamiliar music. 3. The population of interest for the research could theoretically include all group ages and their status in life. For the sake of the research, our sample would be students between ages 22-27 from 4 different universities (sample size of at least 60 people to get significant results). 4. We will divide our sample into 4 different groups Sun exposure + familiar music (group 1) | Sun exposure + non-familiar music (group 2) | No son exposure + familiar music (group 3) | No sun exposure + non-familiar music (group 4) | 5. The independent variables in this research are sun exposure and listening to familiar music. The dependent variable is the person’s mood. Sun exposure can be practically defined by determining a certain amount of time from which we can conclude that a person has been exposed to sun (i.e. 30 minutes). The definition for familiar music can be determined by a pilot before we begin our research on a population which is not part of the sample through which we can find out which songs are familiar (and conversely non-familiar). This way we can define practically and operationally which songs are familiar and which songs are not. A theoretical definition for...
