From the Paper
"The programming language of HTML defines the structure and layout, or physical appearance of the Web document by using tags and attributes. Tags and attributes are bits of programming in the language of HTML that specify how the document, or a portion of the document should appear. ("What is a Tag?" Webopedia, 2006) Because of the relative ease of HTML, bloggers (persons who create blogs) do not have to be terribly technically literate to use the technology of HTML. The popularity of blogs and email, a non-web-based form of personalized communication in the form of electronic personal messages rather than public documents has made the Web, the Internet, and other incarnations of this form of communication a ubiquitous part of social and commercial life."

Abstract
The paper states that every discipline has its own vocabulary of jargon that assigns general terms like "technology" and "quality" its own specific, contextual definition, depending on the needs. The paper then relates that one of the difficulties of discussing how to improve healthcare may be that economists and healthcare providers speak a different language, or at least attach a series of different meanings to terms such as "technology" and "quality." The paper then reviews the differences between the meanings attached to the same word within different professional contexts in order to understand unspoken and unrecognized tensions.
From the Paper
"In economics, the benefits of technology are gauged not so much in terms of their benefits to the consumer (the recipient of the service) but to the producer. For example, an improvement in economics can enable a producer to produce the same amount of a good or service more cheaply, enabling him or her to make a greater profit off of the same items ("Supply determinants," 2008, Amosweb). This can make the life of the consumer better by allowing the consumer to buy more goods at a lower price, but not necessarily. The producer, if demand is high enough, may simply pocket the profit, pass the profit to shareholders, or invest it into research and development of new, profitable products. The aim of technology is to meet consumer desires better to increase profits, even if the technology is of questionable health or lifestyle benefit to the consumer."

Abstract
This paper is based on two articles that attempt to develop a set of financial indicators for critical access hospitals (CAHs) in order to measure specifically financial principles relevant to CAHs. The process to develop financial indicators is also included. The first article is by Dupuis P.J and Kaufman K. who give the example of BJC Healthcare, a health system based in St. Louis, in "A Disciplined Approach To Capital Today's Healthcare Imperative". The second article "Financial Indicators for Critical Access Hospitals" is from the Flex Monitoring Team Briefing Paper.

Ratio Analysis
From the Paper
"Financial statement analysis is important to the stakeholders (creditors, customers, managers, regulators) of an organization whom make judgments about the financial health of the organization. Ratio analysis is the most widely recognized method of assessing financial statements. This analysis is generally used to compare an organization with another in the same industry. Healthcare organizations use ratio analysis to compare their ratios with those for similar organizations. Comparisons only make sense when organization types are similar. For instance, comparing the financial performance of a teaching hospital with a critical access hospital on the basis of ratio analysis will mislead users of financial statements since both hospitals have different missions."

This paper examines the connection between linguistic terminology and its effects on international law enforcement.

Abstract
This paper examines the effect of language on international law enforcement. In particular, the terms "martyr" and "murderer" are considered. The author contends that the brain is at least partly fooled by this terminology. The paper concludes that law enforcement is done a disservice by using these terms, the result being that murderers are cut at least some psychological slack. It is a matter of justice being linguistically turned upside down.
From the Paper
"Elias told the tale of Rodney King. No matter what deeds of misdeeds King had perpetrated, when his beating by California police officers was caught on tape, there was abundant proof of excessive force being used to subdue the man. And yet, because of the continuing tough stance of the government in its attack on crime, the beating was seen as a reasonable response by many people. In the aftermath of such incidents, Congress wrote ever tougher crime bills which, Elias contends, "provided no new strategies" but instead "merely intensified what had already been tried and shown to fail: building more prisons, curbing defendants' rights, stiffening penalties, and so on. Yet despite such draconian measures, crime rates continue to rise, and the fear of crime has reached staggering levels" (1994, p. 3+)."

Abstract
This paper examines the issue of arbitration and insurance claims. It begins by explaining a series of basic insurance terminology and then presents a history of the practice of insurance arbitration. The writer then explains the process of arbitration and insurance claims and how the process has changed over the years.
From the Paper
"Almost thirty years ago, the Committee on Insurance Arbitration recognized the insurance industry's need for a Property Arbitration Forum. Today, its' successor committee is the largest system of its kind in the world. There was clearly a need to create a legal entity to administer the arbitration programs, and this concern led to the creation of a not-for-profit corporation that replaced the Committee on Insurance Arbitration. The Committee on Insurance Arbitration incorporated in 1981, under the corporate name of Insurance Arbitration Forums. Insurance Arbitration Forums remained the corporate name until 1986, when the Board of Directors eliminated the word "Insurance" from the name. This change reflected the expansion of Arbitration Forums' programs to include arbitration situations outside the insurance arena, although these additional mediation and arbitration services continued to fulfill the needs of the insurance industry. Because Arbitration Forums are intended to provide an objective and neutral administrative service, Arbitration Forums are considered to be respected and efficient providers of arbitration services. Arbitration is a means of settling controversies without resorting to litigation. Agreements to arbitrate are generally put into writing, and signatories are contractually obligated to arbitrate."

Public Administration, 2007.
A look at the problem of government services operating as a service industry or business with all the applications of business terminology and concepts, rather than a form of public administration.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that public administration is not a profit-seeking business and the people it serves are not customers but rather invested citizens seeking access to programs and services which by their very nature should be considered innate, or in a sense a part of their birthright and their birth responsibility. The writer points out that just as it is the citizen's responsibility to vote in a democratic society it is also the citizen's responsibility to serve and access services in an environment where civil service is paramount to citizenship. The writer maintains that there is no one right answer to all the issues of public administration but there are many theoretical concepts that can work together to form a basis for the purpose of the development of the common goals of public administration.
From the Paper
"Seeking to understand this relationship between two citizens in service to one another and the common goal the individuals must utilize the concepts of civic social responsibility, so all parties understand that they are not different, that the service provider is not a representative of control and the citizen seeking assistance is not an "other," not crucial to the achievement of service and not privileged to understand the systems in place. Seeking to create a system where civic responsibility is the common goal, service will likely be improved, those who seek to be in positions of service is likely to increase, in number and the system is more likely to be conducive of group goals as those who seek services and those who seek provide a conduit for the provision of these services may have a greater empathetic relationship."

From the Paper
"Emerson predicted that Thoreau's usefulness would lead to the creation of a "profession" of naturalist. Emerson thought we must one day have a naturalist in each village as invariably as a lawyer or doctor, who answered all questions for a stipulated fee (Glick 195). But the best part of Thoreau is not the naturalist part of him, for he was that only obliquely, only by indirection. For somewhere along Concord's path, he took a shortcut past Walden Pond in all of this business of living, lost his way home, then spent the rest of his life trying to find it again, spent the rest of his two.score and four years poking and looking about the interstices of Walden and Merrimac and Concord trying to find or get back something which, perhaps, never was his to begin with. He became a naturalist along the way, almost as if by default, since he had given up the great, common world of things ... "

Abstract
The financial term 'flexible budget' was introduced to the writer during a discussion thread conversation regarding conflict of interest and healthcare financial objectives and goals. The purpose of this paper is to define flexible budgeting, and apply the concepts of flexible budgeting by analyzing various descriptive articles. The writer notes that flexible budgeting can be applied to any industry that provides a service or product. The writer concludes that cost management is becoming a responsibility that is held to an established level of accountability for mid-level managers and a flexible budget tool can be a useful resource in managing the costs associated with providing quality health care.
Outline:
Introduction
Flexible (Variable) Budget
Research Summary
Application of Flexible Budgeting
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The articles discussed the concepts and implementation of flexible budgeting in detail. A common concept that appeared in all articles is the departmental education and training and overall acceptance of the budget plan. The planning stages of the transition from a traditional budget to a flexible budget can often take a year or more. A committee is formed of specialized staff from all departments of the medical facility. The committee is developed to form the activity measures and cost variability relationships. Determining activity measures and applying cost variability measures is not a perfect science and may take time to discover actual relationships based on the trends of the medical facility. Departmental managers will play a crucial role in managing department budgets by monitoring trends by comparing actual numbers to historical numbers to establish a trend. A goal of the finance department is to create and practice a culture of open communication and development of the departmental managers In order for a flexible budgeting to succeed is acceptance of the program. The financial department must communicate to the departments that the system is not designed to cut budgets but to enhance the budget in times of resource need. Most hospitals are currently using a mixed budget of traditional budget factors such as fixed costs and a flexible budget when determining costs for staffing."

Public School Policy Making, 2007.
The objective of this paper is to demonstrate an understanding of the public school policy process, key policy terminology and policy concepts by examining the public school (K-12) policy for the state of New York.

Abstract
This paper explores various policy papers, which define public school policy ranging from illumination of the classroom to environmentally sensitive cleaning and maintenance to funding recommendations. The author points out that a systematic difference was found between the federal and the non-federal systems in policy performance including little indication that federal systems either equalize or redistribute the aggregate resources of society. The paper relates that the goals of the governor's 'Campaign for Fiscal Equity' are (1) a multi-year, massive infusion of school funding, (2) the creation of a clear cut system of accountability to drive funds to key educational strategies and (3) a fair and simple foundation formula to distribute school aid based on student need not politics.

From the Paper
"Policy issues in New York State Schools are inclusive of use of chemical and pesticides in school and recently Education Law 409-I has been enacted which establishes the department as being responsible to report "on the status of utilizing environmentally sensitive cleaning and maintenance (green ) products in all public and nonpublic schools by June 1, 2007." Policy such as this is shaped by the stated needs of certain socio-political view and in one such case the need for facility alignment for quality education is upheld by educators."
