...Fritz Jahr, who "anticipated many of the arguments and discussions now current in biological research involving animals" in an article about the "bioethical imperative," as he called it, regarding the scientific use of animals and plants.[1] In 1970, the American biochemist Van Rensselaer Potter also used the term with a broader meaning including solidarity towards the biosphere, thus generating a "global ethics," a discipline representing a link between biology, ecology, medicine and human values in order to attain the survival of both human beings and other animal species.[2][3] Purpose and scope[edit] The field of bioethics has addressed a broad swathe of human inquiry, ranging from debates over the boundaries of life (e.g. abortion, euthanasia), surrogacy, the allocation of scarce health care resources (e.g. organ donation, health care rationing) to the right to refuse medical care for religious or cultural reasons. Bioethicists often disagree among themselves over the precise limits of their discipline, debating whether the field should concern itself with the ethical evaluation of all questions involving biology and medicine, or only a subset of these questions.[4] Some bioethicists would narrow ethical evaluation only to the morality of medical treatments or technological innovations, and the timing of medical treatment of humans. Others would broaden the scope of ethical evaluation to include the morality of all actions that might help or harm organisms capable of feeling...

...Program Evaluation Overview 1 Program Evaluation Overview The unstable, unpredictable, and ever fluctuating economy makes a good atmosphere for organizations to reap the benefits of a program evaluation. Competitive success in the everchanging marketplace will only occur when an organization puts into place continuing program feedback and program adjustments or adaptations (McNamara, 2006). There are several program evaluation models and methods available to any organization, making the stakeholders the key decision makers of the identity of scope and type of evaluation that will lend itself toward the futures goals and vision of the organization. McDavid and Hawthorn (2006) explain that there is a need for any organization conducting a programs evaluation to generate specific material for planning, design, implementation, and assessment to obtain desired results and to solve any problems or issues. To develop an evaluation focusing on relevance, utility, and design that specifically matches the organization’s needs, the stakeholders must not only address the issues at hand. They also must select an individual or team, which is internal, external, or combination of both to makeup the goal-oriented a program evaluation team. What is a Program Evaluation Boulmetis and Dutwin (2005, p. 4) define a program evaluation as the systematic and structural process of data collection. With these an organization can discerne if and to what degree organizational goals are achieved...

Dannon is not alone in using promotional materials that consumers do not understand. In some cases, advertisements describe technical details that are only appreciated by experts in the product domain to which the ads pertain. Other attribute descriptions, however, may be “puffery.” That is, they purport to be of great importance but are actually inconsequential and often meaningless. Although these latter descriptions have no actual implications for the quality of the product being advertised, they can nevertheless have an impact on consumers’ evaluations of it. The nature of this impact is not completely clear, however. Carpenter,...

...Lesson 17: Assessment in a Constructivist, Technology-Supported Learning Lesson 17: Assessment in a Constructivist, Technology-Supported Learning SUMMARY: WHAT IS ASSESSMENT? It is the process of making some evaluation; the act of assessing. WHAT IS CONSTRUCTIVIST THEORY? Constructivist theory is a theory to explain on how knowledge is constructed in the human being when information comes into contact with existing knowledge that has been developed by experiences. Constructivism as a theory of learning has existed for over one hundred years but has no been widely accepted or applied in public schools.this theory is just a posed of behavioral theory. WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY-SUPPORTED LEARNING? It is used to encourage students especially in facilitating student centered learning activities. It is more than technology enhance instruction. It recognizes that learning is supported in many different ways, even if there is no formal teaching involve. Students study and learn based on the way they are tested. The type of assessment anticipated appears to influence how and what they learn. therefore, the quickest way to change the way students learn is to change the way learning is assessed. In a technology-supported classroom, the student learns from and with the technology. Technology is seen as a source of information that the students learn from in the same way that the teacher are the source of information.. the students master facts from the concepts...

...unique compared to others, it can lead to loyal and profitable customer relationships”. The goal of this Dissertation is to conceptualize Ingredient Branding Strategy and measure its effect on Brand Choice. It seeks to examine the impact of an Ingredient Branding Strategy on consumer’s attitude toward the Host Brand depending on the Partner Brand. To better understand this impact, a review of the most relevant theories on Co-Branding, perceived quality and attitude towards the brand is first presented. On the basis of this literature review, a conceptual framework is proposed concerning the overall transformation of the associations tied to the host brand, the perceived quality and the consumer attitude towards the brand. The overall evaluation of the brand is based on three parameters viz. Perceived Quality, Brand Image & Brand Attitude. INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION In today’s dynamic economy, companies try to find new ways to maintain their competitive advantage, which helps them to better manage the commercial key success factors of their market. They paid attention to their tangible resources, such as products, but there is a tectonic shift toward intangible resources, such as brands. Organizations develop brands, which create value for both the consumer and the company, as a way to attract and keep customers by promoting brand value, brand image or lifestyle, in their brand...

...COMMUNICATION AND EVALUATION IN PLANNING I. COMMUNICATION IN EDUCATIONAL PLANNING INTRODUCTION Educational planning is as old as state education, that is, much older than economic planning. Until comparatively recent times, however, educational planning was haphazard rather than deliberate, a matter for local rather than central government, concern with individual educational systems, and no effort was ever made to state the objectives that planning was supposed to satisfy. The Second World War change all that: the post-war explosion in the demand for education, the new interest in central economic planning, the obsession in growth rates with both developed and developing countries combined to promote a new attitude to the administration of education. Educational planning by the State with the purpose of promoting economic objectives is now as universally approved as economic planning itself. Consider the curious predicament of an educational planner who consults the fast-growing literature on the economics of education for guidance in making policy decisions. On the one hand, he is told to gear the expansion of the educational system to quantitative forecast of the demand for highly-qualified manpower. On the other hand, he is urged to project what id quaintly called. I.I GENERAL PRINCIPLES The issue of communication has been a subject of interest and curiosity ever since the beginnings of human society. It took centuries to explore the working...

...Evaluating Competitiveness Using Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process - A Case Study of Chinese Airlines Abstract With the development of a national market economy, the Chinese aviation industry is now confronted with international competition. Therefore, it is necessary to research the competitive status of Chinese national aviation, as well as advice on how to enhance the competitiveness of the Chinese aviation industry. The main objective of this paper is to propose FAHP as an effective solution for resolving the uncertainty and imprecision in the evaluation of airlines’ competitiveness. In this paper, we review the research of industrial international aviation competitiveness at both home and abroad, discuss a theoretical framework for the study of aviation competitiveness, establish an index system with 5 first-order indicators and 17 second-order indicators, set up a Chinese aviation competitiveness model based on simple fuzzy numbers from the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process, and evaluate the competitiveness of 5 major Chinese airlines. The results show that this model and these indicators are scientific and practical, with a wide range of application prospects for the purpose of improving and increasing Chinese airline competitiveness in the international market. The effective approach presented in this paper is especially applicable when subjective judgments on performance ratings and attribute weights are not accessible or reliable, or when suitable decision makers...
