Total Quality Management (TQM) - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Total Quality Management (TQM) - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The opening study in Total Quality Management (TQM): Concepts, Implementation and Applications investigates the quality of administrative services and student satisfaction-an important dimension of Total Quality Management-provided in higher education institutions. A questionnaire survey, developed using the well-known service quality model SERVQUAL, was used to explore its five dimensions, namely: reliability, assurance, tangibles, empathy, and responsiveness. Following this, the authors empirically examine the relationship between Total Quality Management-SMEs' performance and organizational culture under a moderation model in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The research utilizes partial least squares to examine the moderating effect of organizational culture on the association between Total Quality Management and SMEs' performance. Lastly, the authors develop a model and empirically test it to assess the impact of Total Quality Management on incremental and radical innovation and customer satisfaction, finding that Total Quality Management is positively linked to incremental and radical innovation, whereas no association was found for radical innovation and customer satisfaction.

Total Fitness for Children - James H Humphrey - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Total Fitness for Children - James H Humphrey - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The purpose of this book is to provide information for adults - especially parents and teachers - about how they might better understand total fitness and to encourage them to cultivate it in our most important resource, our children. In this regard, it is interesting to note that studies show that parents'' physical activity tends to be significantly related to their child''s body composition, and that the more active the parents are, the more active their child will be. Further studies show that the average American pre-schooler watches 30 hours of television a week and that the average American will have watched nine years of television by the time he or she is 65 years old. The relationship that has formed between child television watching and physical fitness, is that reports show that the greater the time spent in front of the television, the higher proportion of body fat in that child. Aside from just providing the statistics and knowledge of the existence of this growing fitness problem, this significant book attempts to inform the parents and teachers, and anyone who truly is concerned about children''s health, what efforts must be made to improve the overall fitness of our children.

Long-Term Care in Florida - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Long-Term Care in Florida - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Florida has the largest proportion of elderly in the nation- 2.8 million persons are over age 65, representing 17.6% of its total population. The dramatic rise in the number of persons age 65 and over in Florida over the next 20 years-estimated to total 26.3% of total population-will further stretch the already limited resources of the state. Aware of the pressing demand for long-term care services well into the 21 * century, policymakers in Florida have begun seriously to review options for improving financing and delivery of long-term care for the frail elderly and persons with disabilities. Federal and state Medicaid spending in Florida was $2.6 billion in FY2001, and 30.5% of Medicaid spending was for long-term care. In FY2001, 75.3% of total Medicaid spending was for institutional care. Slightly less than 25% of Medicaid spending was channeled towards home and community-based services. Although institutional care dominated Medicaid spending, there has been slow but steady expansion of home and community-based services funding, both through the use of Medicaid''s waiver programs as well as significant support through state sources. Among the major issues facing long-term care in Florida are: the fragmentation of long-term care services among state and local agencies, an imbalance in financing that favors institutional care rather than home and community based care, shortage of health care workers and well-trained staff throughout the long-term care , and disparities in availability of services across the state.

Solanaceae - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

In Solanaceae: Cultivation, Nutrition and Health, the authors first set out to demonstrate how utilization of soil amendments in agricultural systems is an inexpensive means for limited-resource farmers looking for improvements in crop yield and quality to satisfy consumer needs of healthy food. A separate study considers the variety of biological activities, together with the nutritional composition and low cytotoxicity, of the mature fruits of S. lycocarpum in order to demonstrate that they represent an important food source with chemopreventive and therapeutic properties. Next, the total phenolic and flavonoid content, antioxidant, antibacterial, and allelopathic activities of methanol extract and fractions from ripe fruits of S. lycocarpum were studied to provide knowledge on the total phenolic and total flavonoid content in the methanol extract and fractions, as well as the antioxidant, antibacterial, and allelopathic activities. Afterwards, the oils, fatty acids, and methyl esters from S. lycocarpum fruits were evaluated for their antioxidant potential and allelopathic activity. The allelopathic effect against the seedlings of Lactuca sativa and Allium cepa showed promising results, with predominant effects of growth inhibition of hypocotyls and radicles in the lower concentration tested. In the concluding study, the effects of the ethanol extract and hydroethanol fraction of S. lycocarpum leaves on the growth of the Ehrlich experimental tumor were evaluated using three experimental groups.

Federal Research & Development Budgeting & Priorities - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Federal Research & Development Budgeting & Priorities - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book summarises current research and development priority-setting issues - in terms of spending priorities, topical or field-specific priorities, and organisational arrangements to determine priorities. Federal R&D funding priorities have shifted over time, reflecting presidential preferences, congressional appropriations, and national priorities. Defence R&D predominated in the 1980s but decreased to about 50% of total federal R&D in the 1990s, reflecting Clinton Administration policies. In non-defence R&D, space was important in the 1960s as the nation sought to compete with the Soviet Union in the space race; energy R&D joined space as a priority during the 1970s; and since the 1980s, health R&D funding has grown as the cohort of aged population increases and the promise of life sciences and biotechnology affects national expectations. Defence and counter-terrorism R&D funding have been increased since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Together, Department of Defense (DOD) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding total about 77% of the FY2007 R&D request.

Federal Regulations - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Federal Regulations - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Federal agencies issue thousands of regulations each year under delegated authority from Congress. Over the past 70 years, Congress and various Presidents have created a set of procedures agencies must follow to issue these regulations, some of which contain requirements for the calculation and consideration of costs, benefits, and other economic effects of regulations. In recent years, many Members of Congress have expressed an interest in various regulatory reform efforts that would change the current set of rulemaking requirements, including requirements to estimate costs and benefits of regulations. As part of this debate, it has become common for supporters of regulatory reform to comment on the total cost of federal regulation. This book discusses methods of estimating the total cost of federal regulations. Furthermore, the book serves to inform the congressional debate over rulemaking by analysing different ways to measure federal rulemaking activity; describes the existing requirements for cost-benefit and other types of analysis in the federal rulemaking process; and discusses options for changing the current set of analytical requirements.

Bureau of Prison's Segregated Housing Practices - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Bureau of Prison's Segregated Housing Practices - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The overall number of inmates in the Bureau of Prisons'' (BOP) three main types of segregated housing units, Special Housing Units (SHU), Special Management Units (SMU), and Administrative Maximum (ADX), increased at a faster rate than the general inmate population. Inmates may be placed in SHUs for administrative reasons, such as pending transfer to another prison, and for disciplinary reasons, such as violating prison rules; SMUs, a four-phased program in which inmates can progress from more to less restrictive conditions; or ADX, for inmates that require the highest level of security. From fiscal year 2008 to February 2013, the total inmate population in segregated housing units increased approximately 17 percent, from 10,659 to 12,460 inmates. By comparison, the total inmate population in BOP facilities increased by about 6 percent during this period. This book examines the trends in the BOP''s segregated housing population; the extent to which the BOP centrally monitors how prisons apply segregated housing policies; and the impact segregated housing has on institutionalised safety and inmates.
