Open Source Software Projects: A Balance of Trust and Control According to Jones et al. (2005), trust is the single most important driver for the success of virtual teams. However, as a result of Michael Gallivan’s (2001) case study on open source software projects, he now believes that there is another variable to this movement that can be found in control. He presents the McDonaldization theory by identifying four aspects of modern organizations: efficiency, calculability, predictability and…

January 24, 1995 marked the first day of the events that produced what was nicknamed “ The Trail of the Century” . The first official day of the trial of Orenthal James Simpson versus The People took place in June of 1994 in Los Angeles California when Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were found dead outside of Brown’s home. Brown's ex-husband O.J was the first to be notified and questioned upon his return from his Chicago trip. Soon after Nicole’s funeral Simpson failed to surrender to…

a lower residential density will lead to a higher VMT. In the same way, employment density is negatively related to VMT in Seattle, WA and Baltimore, MD study areas. The level of mixed land use is negatively related to VMT in all, but the Virginia case. Average block size is positively related to VMT in all the study areas. Likewise, the distance from the CBD is positively related to VMT, except the Virginia…

This research proposal starts with understanding the organisational culture of the U.S Military, that proposes the use of fusion cells in order to quantify the data collected from multiple units collectively in order to share knowledge and action best plan. In order to investigate organisational efficiencies, my initial interest took me to research and correspond with the military and specifically “Fusion Cells” within the special forces. I wanted to learn about their role from a climate of…

I. THE THIN SKULL RULE AND THE FAULT: The Thin Skull rule is considered in the element of causation. However, due to the flexible attitude of the courts and case law (S v Van Den Burg) that has considered the foreseeability theory in legal causation. It can be said that the rule traverses a very thin line between causation and fault, specifically strict liability. The distinction of the thin skull as a ‘magic circle’ by Dean Prosser: “It is as if a magic circle were drawn about the person,…

Staunton and Chiarella (2013) “unsatisfactory professional conduct includes conduct that is substantially below the standard reasonably expected of a registered health care practitioner of an equivalent level of training or experience”. Based on the case study of Conyard [2015], the nurse was not able to recognise and respond to the deteriorating condition of the patient when the vital signs were in the red zone, in addition, the nurse was not able to document all the necessary assessments and…

Evaluate Leadership Theory In the beginning the leadership style seem a bit lassiez-faire. GM needed direct supervision of workers and neglected to oversee a wide range of territories inside their organization. This style of management was not advantageous for the organization as it brought about poor creation, absence of control, and expanded pointless expenses. There were particular focuses that help me recognize the leadership style the GM presented. For example, everybody within the…

This strategy dictates that the court must abide or adhere to decided cases. Stare decisis is a legal rule which dictates that courts cannot disrespect the standard. The court must endorse prior decisions. In essence, this legal principle dictates that once a law has been determined by the appellate court (which hears and determines appeals from the decisions of the trial courts) to be relevant to the facts of the case, future cases will follow the same principle of law if they involve…

In relevance to the indicated answerable clinical question from the case study, several articles present strong arguments supporting changing IVC’s to when clinically indicated versus routinely. Although current guidelines recommend the routine change of IVC’s within the clinical setting, this is not supported by recent…
