...Human Resource Department Roles Audrick Willis HCS/341 May 8, 2013 Teletha Leonard Human Resource Department Roles Most organizations today have a human resource deparment. All HR deparments have roles that play for the organization regardless of the type and size. The purpose of the human deparment is to assist the human portion of the company. Its imporant that each organization has a HR deparment that is effiecient and has great quality this benefit the organization is varies ways. The functional roles of the HR deparment are very important towards the human because human are known to be very important to an organization. (Stringer) A very imporant function of the HR deparment is recruiment. The role of the recruiment function is to make sure that they recruit the right people for the job. (Stringer) They also then have made sure the each person they hired is in the correct job postions based upon their skills and abilities. This is a very important job and has a huge impact on the impact because as long as the employee do their jobs correct the organization will be a success. They also help with the interview process testing the employee abilities that they have for the job. Training the employees for the skills that are required for a job is also a functional role of the HR deparment. They have a trainging specialist that teaches the employees the learning objective and methods they need to do their job correctly. (Stringer) Most time the training is for leadership...

...bridge from misery to hope” (Unesco). Thus, being illiterate is not the way to get out of that dark hole especially when you have the access to learn it. However, one might think of being literate as a way to simply get jobs or to survive, and I would not disagree with that, but I think that literacy cannot just be defined as the one only might think of it as. Furthermore, the connection between literacy and the form of literacy itself, which people use as a necessity, was also mentioned in Literacy and the Politics of Education by C.H Knoblauch as a functional literacy, and he basically explains that this kind of literacy used when people process the information, such as “reading sets of instructions” (Knoblauch 76). Even though Knoblauch agrees that this type of literacy is the most familiar one, I believe that there are still ups and downs of defining literacy in a functional way. Ultimately, defining literacy as a functional literacy does not really enclose the process of being literate completely, and there is also a limitation with seeing literacy this way because it simply ignores other purposes of being literate such as helping people who are in need. There are numerous of people that I personally know who were not going to college or any educational institutions whatsoever, but now, some of them are comfortably sitting in a leading position. Some work in a private bank in Indonesia, and some even have their own coffee shop. One thing that I notice from those...

...Eli Lilly is a leading pharmaceutical company located in Indianapolis, Indiana, which specializes in treatment of several high profile diseases. Evista, a newly developed drug by Eli Lilly, is an estrogen replacement therapy medicine for prevention of osteoporosis which through testing has seemed to lower the incidence of breast cancer in women. This FDA approved drug is expected to be a potential blockbuster and generate revenue of 1 billion US dollars per year for the company. Pharmaceuticals is a highly competitive market and it is imperative for the leading companies to recuperate their development costs and generate returns for stockholders as well as fund research and development for potential new drugs at almost a constant rate. With the profitable lifetime for drugs, in United States, being significantly shortened since the 1980’s, Lilly Research Laboratories was able to develop Evista in a much shorter time period by adopting a Matrix-Based development approach and utilizing heavyweight teams. This strayed from their usual path of function-based product development strategy. With the possibility of profound profits from the commercialization of Evista, Dr. Gus Watanabe has to weigh whether the increasing internal resistance to heavyweight teams and shortage of resources is worth it. Watanabe needs to make a decision about adopting this new successful heavyweight team approach for commercialization of Evista as well as product development. Changes in the past few years...

...Illiterate are constantly struggling to function well in the society. Their lack of basic essentials can be disastrous in terms of losing their human potential and productivity and a general failure to access many of life's opportunities. How can anyone with low literacy rate complete daily tasks such as writing a letter, filling out forms, helping their child with homework and so on? Illiterate adults face problems not only in the workforce but right in their very own homes. Almost everything would be a disadvantage if a person is illiterate. A person who is illiterate can't read, write, of course hasn't been to a school, hasn't received education, can't learn the mannerism an educational institute provides, can't have the ability to think like cultured people, can't have effective decision making ability where he/she can weigh the pros and cons of a situation etc. In today's world, its very important to receive education and be able to handle your life properly through your knowledge and understanding. There are people who have a certain sort of skill but due to the lack of any education, they don't get a chance to improve upon it or enhance it. Take the example of a person who loves to draw but hasn't been to a professional art institute.He would still be drawing but would never be aware of the possibilities that he could have explores only if he was literate. He would never know how an artist can publicize his work, what other mediums he can use besides oil, paint...

...C) Använd Coopers tre dimensioner och diskutera de faktorer som MB skulle tvingas konkurrera med andra biltillverkarna som Jeep, Ford och GM. Using Cooper’s cost, quality, functionality chart, discuss the factors on which MB competes with other automobile producers such as Jeep, Ford, and GM. (If the instructor wishes to give a brief mini-lecture on Robin Cooper’s survival triplet and confrontation strategy,2 this is a good point in the case discussion to do so.) The factors are: * price—at mid to upper range of zone; * quality—at upper range of zone; * functionality—at upper range of zone. An interesting point to discuss is that Mercedes does not produce the most expensive sports utility vehicle. This distinction is reserved for the Land Rover; however, they strategically placed themselves toward the luxury end of the spectrum. Also, unlike many Japanese examples, Mercedes does not use target costing as a strict cost control mechanism to produce the lowest priced product in its class. D) Hur kan AAV-projektet kopplas till MBs strategi i fråga om marknadstäckning? The new introductions expand the product line of the traditionally luxury-oriented manufacturer. Recent product introductions include the following: * A Class * C Class * SLK * E Class * M Class These new introductions include new sports cars and off-road vehicles.

The use cases has make up of several possible sequences for users to interact with a system of a particular environment that is in relation to a particular goal. There are a group of elements that the use case consists of, these elements in be in either the classes or interfaces category. Use cases give a description of how users will perform tasks. There are two main parts of a use case; the steps a user will take to accomplish a particular task on the ATM machine, and the way the ATM should respond to the user's actions. A use case will begin with a user's goal and end when that goal is fulfilled. A use case will describe the interaction sequence between a user and an ATM machine. Each use case captures the actor (the user of the ATM machine), the interaction (what does the user want to do?), and the goal (what is the user's goal?). Writing...

...Abstract Cancer is a generic term to describe a group of diseases which came in form of uncontrolled proliferation of cells. There are over 200 different types of cancer have been recognized, each of which acquires its name uniquely according to the type of issue the cell originates in. Many cancer victims succumb to cancer not because of the primary tumor, but the systematic effects of metastases on other regions away from the affected site. Therefore many treatment and research aim to prevent the metastatic process at the early period. There are currently many therapies in clinical use, and many advanced technologies that help to achieve better result and nanotechnology is the potential candidate to fight against cancer. Nano-materials such as Carbon-nanotubes (CNTs)1, quantum dot, and dendrimers all have unique properties that can be taken advantage of for diagnosis and treatment of cancer. CNTs have the potential to deliver many types of drug directly to targeted cells and tissues at a much higher efficiency compared to the conventional methods. With the help of many recent discoveries in nanotechnology based materials, determining the toxicity of nanoparticles is also a very important task. Thus, in this review, the experiment aims to explore the biomedical application of carbon-nanotubes with the particular emphasis on the use as oncologic therapeutic agent. Introduction United States holds number 7 in the top ten highest overall cancer rates at 300 per 100,000 of the...

...high-calorie diet lived longer than similarly fed mice not given resveratrol. Resveratrol protected mice fed a high-calorie diet from obesity-related health problems by imitating the effects of caloric restriction (Maddox, 2012). Resveratrol also incredibly lengthen the lifespan of worms, yeast, and some fishes (Adams, 2011). In the experiment, local black grapes were gathered and were classified as Vitis vinifera. The skin was separated from the fruit and was placed in dark, cool area. To avoid oxidation of the plant extract, the steps were done away from direct light. The skin was shaken with ethyl acetate and was kept for 72 hours and was filtered. The filtrate was dried using a rotary evaporator to get one-tenth of its original amount. The functional and phenolic groups present in the resveratrol were tested using standard methods. Aromaticity and the...

...| Exploring Programming Language | Unit 1 Research Assignment 1 | | | 5/3/2014 | PT1420 | The five most popular programming languages in the 1970’s were: 1970: Pascal 1972: C 1972: Smalltalk 1972: Prolog 1973: SQL Pascal The Pascal programming language was developed by Niklaus Wirth. It was created in 1968 but it wasn’t published until 1970. It was developed to provide the features other programming languages didn’t offer at that time. His main reason for developing Pascal was efficiently implement and run, to allow for the development of structured and well organized programs, and to serve as a tool to teach the important concepts of computer programming. The program was named after a mathematician named Blaise Pascal. It was used as the primary language in the Apple Lisa and for the Mac in the early years of the computer. SQL SQL, which is short for, Structured Query Language, was designed by an IBM research center in 1974-1975. The Oracle Corporation introduced it as a commercial database system in 1979, the first time it was introduced. It has been a favorite query language for the use of database management systems for the microcomputer and mainframes, but is being supported by the PC database. C C was created at the Bell Laboratory in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie. It was created for the purpose in designing UNIX. Prolog Was created from 1971-1973 and was distributed in 1974-1975. It was created not as a programming language on purpose but...

...Section 4.3 Switching Algebra Functional Decomposition Alfredo Benso Politecnico di Torino, Italy Alfredo.benso@polito.it Why? Goal: • Translate a large and complex circuit into a network of small and simple circuits • Express a switching function of n variables as a composition of switching functions of less than n variables Motivation: • Reduce the complexity of simplification • Reduce the size of a circuit by finding common circuit elements Theoretical background: • Shannon’s Expansion Theorem (SET): – Simple type of decomposition – f(x1, x 2, ..., xn) = x 1f(1, x 2, ..., xn) + x’1 f(0, x 2, ..., xn) 1 Residues • The function that is obtained from setting one of the variables, say xi, equal to 1 is called xiresidue. If xi is set to 0, the resulting function is called xi’-residue. • The notation for the xi–residue function is fi(1); for the x’i–residue is fi(0). Boolean Difference • The “Boolean Difference” (or Boolean Derivative) indicates whether f is sensitive to changes in the value of xi and is defined as: ∂f = fi (0) ⊕ f i (1) ∂xi Example • f(w,x,y,z) = wx + w′ z′ , find values of x and z to sensitize circuit to changes in w. fw = x , fw′ = z′ ∂f = z′ ⊕ x = z′x′ + zx ∂w z=x=1 o r z=x=0 will sensitize circuit to changes in w 2 Simple Disjoint Decomposition Definition: • A switching function f(x1, ..., xn) is functionally decomposable iff there exists switching functions G and H (simple) x1 f xn A G B H where A ∪ B = {x 1...
