¶ … valuable because it enables others to conduct the same research to see whether or not the author was accurate in reaching whatever conclusions he or she made via the experiment. Replicable experiments play a large role in conducting empirical-based experiments. The reason is that if one individual conducted an experiment and reached certain findings, the whole validity of empirical-based evidence means that another individual should be able to conduct that same experiment with highly similar results. Therefore, replicating experiments essentially functions as a way of confirming the truth. The truth can always be questioned and examined from a number of different of points-of-view and, theoretically, should not change. The same concept applies to findings reached via research involving empirically-based evidence. The only way the scientific community can truly validate research and conclusions drawn from it is by replicating that research -- and those conclusions as well. Successful replications are merely a testament to the findings of the original researcher/author.
I found David Brooks' article, "Social Animal," fascinating for several reasons. Foremost among these is the fact that he exploits the myth that good grades, wealth, jobs with a great deal of authority and prestige are not the end all, be all means to happiness. He also alludes to the fact that people who achieve these things are actually not smarter than others, and even implies that intelligence can be measured in different ways other than IQ (which he contrasts with perception). I have long harbored these same sentiments, and realized that people who are able to achieve these aforementioned ends are simply good at memorizing and doing what they are told -- and not actually thinking for themselves. True thinking for oneself, the author suggests, is related to a degree of social intelligence or even social psychology that is less easy to quantify, and more valuable in the real world than salary and grades. I wish more people would come to realize these facts.
centres on the premise that hotel industry is susceptible to crimes and hotels need to provide adequate security measures including security boxes for the safe-custody of guests' valuables. The hotels shall not be liable for any loss if any guest neglects to deliver the valuables to be deposited in the security box, unless the keeper of the hotel causes the loss due to the fault or negligence on his/her
Job Analysis Selection • Conduct a job analysis. • Outline a workforce planning system. • Create a selection process staffing. Course Assignments 1. Readings • Read Chapter 5 -- 7 Managing Human Resources. Job Analysis Selection As InterClean and EnviroTech completed their merger, the operational complexities of the resulting companies significantly increased. At the primary level, one could observe the fact that the organization would no longer simply offer cleaning products, but
Accounting Policy Setting Using Ex-Ante and Ex-Post Accounting Techniques Firms make contracts every day because they are required to gain assets that would be costly for them to obtain otherwise. At one time these contracts were made from an opinion-based accounting model called normative theory. Many departments used this theory because they believed that they could use the knowledge that they had gained to make accurate guesses regarding financial and intangible accounting
Summary The Keller/PSI approach to academic and professional training has been documented to improve student performance as measured by course completion rates and subject matter retention among students. On the other hand, there are considerable practical and technical problems implementing the Keller/PSI approach within traditional educational institutions. Meanwhile, there is little if any empirical evidence suggesting precisely how the Keller/PSI model benefits learning outside of the focus on the reduced deadline
This researcher rejects the existence of online communities because computer mediated group discussions cannot possibly meet this definition. Weinreich's view is that anyone with even a basic knowledge of sociology understands that information exchange in no way constitutes a community. For a cyber-place with an associated computer mediated group to be labeled as a virtual settlement it is necessary for it to meet a minimum set of conditions. These are:
The past types of searches were designed to allow people to search titles and descriptions. Some of them also allowed for a search by dates. Searching the full text, however, was not as common in the past. Now more of that is seen because end users of databases and search engines are demanding more usability - and user-friendliness - in their technology options. When end users start requiring something
