What are the issues involved in measurement in organizational development interventions? Solution Ownership and all involved personnel needed to be genuinely and visibly committed to the effort. People involved in OD have to be informed in advance of the nature of the intervention and the nature of their involvement in it. The OD effort has to be connected to other parts of the organization; this is especially true of such areas as the evaluation and reward systems. The effort has to be directed by appropriate managers and guided by change agents (which, if used, must be competent). The intervention should be based on accurate diagnosis of organizational conditions. Owners and managers should show their commitment to OD at all stages of the effort, including the diagnosis, implementation, and evaluation. Evaluation is key to success, and should consist of more than asking people how they felt about the effort. Owners and managers need to show employees how the OD effort relates to the organization\'s goals and overriding mission. .

What are the key differences between Windows, Apple, and Linux? Solution Answer: Windows are user friendly in nature for any user it is easy to use and install the softwares also. Windows OS cannot be installed in Apple computers.The user interface of windows is easy to work with, and many difficult functions can be done with a small number of mouse clicks.Windows OS is easy to learn even for the people who are uneducated with in small amount of time.There exists multiple alternative softwares for each task to perform in windows operating systems. Linux have advantage of having low resource requirements. We can install softwares in a very much limited amounts in systems.Linux OS works on every type of computers except macintosh i.e Mac OS oriented computers.It is also very secured operating system compared to windows.The only disadvantage is linux operating system is difficult to use ,it is not GUI oriented and many commands need to be performed to get tasks to done,hence it is not user friendly.Sometimes it is difficult to remember all the commands to type and carry the operations. Apple computers are in built with the Mac OS.These are of very high budget cost compared to windows and linux operating systems.Cost is the only drawback of these computers since its hardware is of high configuration which is build.The Mac OS can only be installed in these computers and no other operating system work on these computers. .

What are the implications of unstructured data to database design? Support your answer. Solution Unstructured data is usually not stored in a relational database (as traditionally defined) where the data model is relevant to the meaning of the data.It usually refers to information that doesn\'t reside in a traditional row-column database. Opposite of structured data â€” the data stored in fields in a database,unstructured data are hard to be arranged hence making it hard to manage. Unstructured data does not provide strong type and cannot be queried easily.On unstructured data, indexes on user-defined functions would need to be created, or extensible indexes would need to be defined. The Internet of things like social media, videos,emails, blogs, notes from call centers, and computer to computer communications produce massive amounts of unstructured data.They may have an internal structure, but they are still considered \"unstructured\" because the data they contain doesn\'t fit neatly in a database. .

What are the income levels and infrastructure development of Mobius SLIP? Solution Social Leaning Solutions develops and provides a portfolio of cloud-based teaching and learning technology tools that engage students and instructors in social interaction and help build their competencies. The underlying principle of Social Learning Solutions is that any learning content (created by either instructors or students) has to be reviewed and evaluated by their peers and counterparts in order to determine the merit of the contribution and to provide developmental feedback. In other words, every actor in the learning environment may act as an author of content, as well as a reviewer and evaluator of the content created by others. Social Leaning Solutions portfolio includes three subsystems that facilitate workflows to support this collective action -- the Mobius SLIP (Social Learning in Peer Groups) student peer review system, the SLIDE (Social Learning Interactive Discussion and Evaluation) Discussion Board with voting, and the SLIM (Social Learning Idea Market) Library that facilitates peer review of teaching materials among instructors. One of these tools, Mobius SLIP is a modern, technology-enabled incarnation of the Socratic Method. This web-based Learning Management System (LMS) facilitates complex assignments and social learning interaction among students, encourages creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration, and delivers advanced performance analytics and assurance of learning. Mobius SLIP challenges the notion that only formally credentialed instructors are the sole carriers of knowledge and judges of .

What are the four stages of John Dewey Solution For Dewey, learning was primarily an activity which arises from the personal experience of grappling with a problem. This concept of learning implied a theory of education far different from the dominant school practice of his day, when students passively received information that had been packaged and predigested by teachers and textbooks. Thus, Dewey argued, the schools did not provide genuine learning experiences but only an endless amassing of facts, which were fed to the students, who gave them back and soon forgot them. Dewey distinguished between the psychological and the logical organization of subject matter by comparing the learner to an explorer who maps an unknown territory. The explorer, like the learner, does not know what terrain and adventures his journey holds in store for him. He has yet to discover mountains, deserts, and water holes and to suffer fever, starvation, and other hardships. Finally, when the explorer returns from his journey, he will have a hard-won knowledge of the country he has traversed. Then, and only then, can he produce a map of the region. The map, like a textbook, is an abstraction which omits his thirst, his courage, his despairs and triumphs .

What are the differences between a linked list and a stack? Solution A Stack is basically a linear type data structure, which means the elements are present in a linear manner. In stack whatever is stored first it comes out last. It works in LIFO manner(Last in first out). In stack you canâ€™t add element in between. They are like a stack of coins, i.e. if you want to take the last coin, then all the upper coins have to be removed one by one..As a result what goes in last is taken out the first.The process of adding and deleting elements is slow here.Random access s fast here. On the other hand a Linked list is not a linear data structure. In this we can access any element or add any element in between. There is no LIFO of LILO manner (last in last out).We can add elements wherever we want. In Linked list we basically use two pointers , one to store the value of the variable and other to store the address of the next node(link list single element known as node).As the next link list address is store in the second node, there is no restriction in adding a new link list element in between .Linked list perform very fast insertion and deletion . .

What are the advantages of IPv6 over IPv4. Why is security often considered to be a major advantage in IPv6. Is it really true? Solution Dear, IPv4 is the fourth revision of the interner protocol and is a standard internetwork layer protocol used. IPv4 is the used to connect devices to the internet. IPv4 uses a 32-bit address scheme allowing over 4 billion addreses, but with the growth of more devices connecting requires an address.IPv6 fulfills the requirement for the need of more internet addresses. IPv6 is designed to allow the Internet to grow , both in terms of the number of hosts connected and the amount of data traffic transmitted. IPv6 uses 128-bit address scheme written in hexadecimal. More number of IP addresses will benefit companies from a management point of view, but it will also benefit cyber criminals. Not only will criminals be able to switch IP addresses frequently making it difficult to track and trace them. Advantages of IPv6 over IPv4: .

What are some tax consequences related to a qualified pension plan? (Points : 1) Employer contributions are deductible when made. Earnings on the contributions are taxable to the employee. Employees are not taxed until distributions are received from the plan. Only a. and c. Solution d) Only a. and c. Most retirement plans (the exception being most non qualified plans) offer significant tax advantages. Most commonly the money contributed to the account is not taxed as income to the employee at the time of the contribution. In the case of employer provided plans, however, the employer is able to receive a tax deduction for the amount contributed as if it were regular employee compensation. This is known as pre-tax contributions, and the amounts allowed to be contributed vary significantly among various plan types. The other significant advantage is that the assets in the plan are allowed to grow through investing without the taxpayer being taxed on the annual growth year by year. Once the money is withdrawn it is taxed fully as income for the year of the withdrawal. There are many restrictions on contributions, especially with 401(k) and defined benefit plans. The restrictions are designed to make sure that highly compensated employees do not gain too much tax advantage at the expense of lesser paid employees. .

What are some primary reasons why an embedded system developer would use C or C++ instead of assembly language? What are some specific problems that an embedded system\'s programmer can encounter while using only C or C++? Solution Programming in Embedded systems need to be written in Assembly Language. Writing the code in Assembly Language is too difficult. C is very easier than the Assembly Language and internally does nothing but it converts the code written in Higher Level Language into the Assembly Language Code compatible with the Embedded System (or the Emulator) the code is compiled in. Other languages such as VB-NET, C#, Java are easier than C. But Java requires JVM (Java Virtual Machine) to be installed on the Embedded System. VB-NET, C# and many other languages are either proprietary technologies (forcing the programmers to choose specific OS - such as VB .NET and C# run only on Windows) or they need some frameworks (like JVM) to be preinstalled in the Embedded System. .

What are some positive externalities and how does the government address those? Solution 1) A positive externality is a benefit that is enjoyed by a third-party as a result of an economic transaction. Third-parties include any individual, organisation, property owner, or resource that is indirectly affected. While individuals who benefit from positive externalities without paying are considered to be free-riders, it may be in the interests of society to encourage free-riders to consume goods which generate substantial external benefits. Most merit goods generate positive consumption externalities, which beneficiaries do not pay for. For example, with healthcare, private treatment for contagious diseases provides a considerable benefit to others, for which they do not pay. Similarly, with education, the skills acquired and knowledge learnt at university can benefit the wider community in many ways. 2) Unlike the case of negative externalities, which are discouraged to achieve a socially efficient allocation of scarce resources, positive externalities are encouraged. One role for government is to implement economic policies that promote positive externalities. There are two general approaches to promoting positive externalities; to increase the supply of, and demand for, goods, services and resources that generate external benefits. .
