Essays on Peer Review

Abstract

This peer review looks at Alex Pierce’s story, The Challenging Two Mile, which is a story about a young man who is running a two mile race at Virginia State Championships. This tale is a self-reflection and personal growth story that follows a chronological plot format, focusing on the character and his pain as the main imagery from the audience’s viewpoint. While the overall image of the two-mile race sets the backdrop, it is the internal and external body struggles that make this story so captivating. Fast-paced and well-written it is an honest, simple and down-to-earth learning ...

The first step of research is to formulate an accurate and precise research question which could have come from previous studies, or of a particular need or interest, and even for policy making. When formulating the research question, it is important to define the terms in which this research will be done. The main assumption that is found in the drug industry is that conclusions from published research found in prestigious journals are considered valid merely because they have been already scrutinized and published. It is an assumption that comes from accepting things as valid simply because we are ...

Abstract

The Madoff Securities scandal was one of the biggest Ponzi schemes to hit America. This essay would examine the Madoff scandal from an audit perspective since it was the complacency (or collusion) of the auditors that encouraged the perpetrator of this scam. While the scam that was pulled by Bernie Madoff, was both large and difficult to spot, its detection also helped expose a crucial flaw that existed in corporate America at the time. This was the lack of regulatory oversight in the Securities business. While one could lay the blame for this scandal on the Regulator, another important ...

Dear Dr. Karnes: It is my pleasure to present to you the justification report you authorized on June 14, 2016 about the feasibility of alternatives to eliminate discrimination at Logistics Aviation Company. An extensive analysis of the two options (implementing policy and creation of diverse groups and departments) revealed that even though both options will lead to elimination of discrimination in the company, implementing policy is the most feasible factoring in cost, time, efficiency and effectiveness. As such, I highly recommend implementing policy as a solution to discrimination. Thank you for ...

Learning to write more effectively is one task that many university students struggle to complete, for a number of reasons. Many of them move through middle and high school learning to write to a particular formula that will help them to pass a standardized assessment that is often necessary for graduation but has almost no resemblance to the sort of writing that they will be expected to do down the road in the professional world. Once those students come to college and find that there are many more ways to write than that cookie cutter formula that they learned ...

Writing is an intriguing process, whether it is a small child learning to trace out the letters of his name or an accomplished author seeking to put the story that has taken shape in her mind down onto paper in words that others will understand and find compelling. The process of turning thoughts into words and then recording those words onto paper has long been one that has been a source of fascination, whether it was the creation of the dramas of the ancient Greeks or such world-changing essays as Jonathan Swift’s paradigm shift on the treatise in “ ...

Introduction

The case of Bernie Madoff is a good example of unethical practices can lead to corruption. Madoff, which is the former investment and a stock broker, is introduced around the globe as the only operator in the largest Ponzi scheme ever on record.

The paper will determine the regulatory oversight that was existing while the Ponzi scheme was operating. It also speculates on the main reasons why such plans were not discovered while investing ...

The Madoff Securities case was a phenomenal one, in terms of the sheer size of the funds involved, the duration over which the scam took place as well as the stature of the victims affected. In most comparable schemes, the victims are usually those who have a very limited understanding of financial products and such schemes mostly do not last very long. This paper will review the case by determining the regulatory oversight in place at the time of the scandal and reasons why this scheme was not discovered as well as delve into other aspects of the case.

However, a weakness of the enquiry logic used is that it has not completely put into perspective both the quantitative and also the qualitative measures regarding the disadvantaged ...

Introduction Most top multi-level and multi-nation organizations have performance appraisals as their essential factors in order to achieve goals (Shahriari,, et al. 2013).

As per recent norms, nurses should be held responsible for any deficient in the healthcare system with respect to any setting. Furthermore, nurses in hospitals are also responsible for the overall patient outcomes ...
