QUESTIONDiscuss how has Web 2.0 changed the behavior of Internet .pdfFOREVERPRODUCTCHD
QUESTION:
Discuss how has Web 2.0 changed the behavior of Internet users? What are the basic tools or
applications that characterize Web 2.0?
While IT provides the platform for this phenomenon, the changing behavior of users represents
the biggest challenge and opportunity for businesses today. Web 2.0 also represents opportunities
for those who understand and master the new way of doing things. Managers who invest the time
to understand and become proficient in new approaches to identifying, communicating and
building relationships with customers online will have a tremendous advantage over managers
who limit themselves to traditional methods.
Blog is short for “Web Log” and is a Web site where users regularly post information for others
to read. Blogs allow readers to comment on each posting. Blogs are a key tool for organizations
that practice content marketing, where valuable information is shared with current or prospective
customers. Bloggers can establish a lot of credibility for themselves and their organizations by
providing helpful information to people who are part of their target market.
Solution
Wikis: Websites that empower clients to contribute, work together and alter webpage content.
Wikipedia is one of the most seasoned and best-known wiki-based locales.
The expanding pervasiveness of Software as a Service (SaaS), web applications and distributed
computing as opposed to privately introduced projects and administrations.
Portable registering, otherwise called nomadicity, the pattern toward clients associating from
wherever they might be. That pattern is empowered by the multiplication of cell phones, tablets
and other cell phones in conjunction with promptly available Wi-Fi systems.
Concoction: Web pages or applications that coordinate reciprocal components from at least two
sources.
Interpersonal interaction: The act of growing the quantity of one\'s business and additionally
social contacts by making associations through people. Interpersonal interaction destinations
incorporate Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+.
Communitarian endeavors in view of the capacity to achieve vast quantities of members and
their aggregate assets, for example, crowdsourcing, crowdfunding and crowdsource testing..
Web 2.0 refers to a second generation of the World Wide Web that focuses on enabling users to collaborate and share information online through more dynamic and interactive websites. Key aspects of Web 2.0 include allowing users to interact with each other and contribute user-generated content through blogs, wikis, and other online communities. While initially a computer science term, Web 2.0 is now more commonly used as a marketing term to describe websites that facilitate participation, openness, and networking.
Web 2.0 refers to a second generation of the World Wide Web that focuses on enabling users to collaborate and share information online through more dynamic and interactive websites. Key aspects of Web 2.0 include allowing users to interact with websites beyond just retrieving information, providing users with more tools and storage through their browsers, and encouraging users to contribute content and value to websites. Examples of Web 2.0 include blogs, wikis, social networking sites, user-generated content sites, tagging, and social bookmarking.
This document summarizes a presentation about Web 2.0 and what it means for business. It discusses key concepts of Web 2.0 like user participation, collective intelligence, and lightweight software. Examples are given of how these concepts are implemented on sites like Wikipedia, Flickr, and Google. The presentation also covers implications for business, including embracing a Web 2.0 mentality, using analytics, and designing applications that leverage networked resources and user contributions.
The document discusses the definition and key characteristics of Web 2.0. It notes that Web 2.0 is defined by user participation, user-generated content, and two-way interaction between users on the web. Examples provided include social media sites like Facebook and YouTube that allow users to connect and share content. The document also discusses how Web 2.0 represents a shift to more user-centered design where users play a central role in producing and evaluating content.
Web 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 represent different stages in the evolution of the World Wide Web. Web 1.0 was a read-only static web focused on shopping carts. Web 2.0 introduced a read-write dynamic web with user-generated content on sites like Wikipedia and Facebook. Web 3.0 added machine learning to deliver personalized intelligent experiences. Web 4.0 focused on mobile connectivity. Web 5.0 aims to develop an emotional web that can interpret human emotions.

In this research we focuses on the revolution that is changing the World Wide Web, electronic commerce, and business in general. Web 2.0 is the term used to describe the wave of change in business models and in Web site functionality that has transformed the online landscape. Most likely, you are already familiar with popular Web 2.0 applications such as Facebook or Wikipedia.
Web 2.0 introduces unprecedented ways to connect to friends, share knowledge with your colleagues, or collaborate with a team of engineers 5,000 miles away, and many of today’s companies cannot afford to miss this trend.
Most young people entering the workforce have grown accustomed to using Facebook or Twitter for their communication needs. With Web 2.0 providing a new set of capabilities for individuals and businesses, an understanding of how they can be applied can be very helpful. Being able to understand and apply these emerging capabilities and strategies that are associated with Web 2.0 is a highly marketable skill.

Document of presentation(web 3.0)(part 2)Abhishek Roy
Web 3.0 aims to link devices and integrate data from various sources to generate new information streams and approaches for machines to connect to the web. It builds upon previous versions by enabling two-way communication and sharing of content across social networks from desktops, mobile websites, and apps. However, an official definition of Web 3.0 has not been established as it is still under development by organizations like W3C to link data through semantic technologies and allow interoperability across applications.
The document discusses several topics related to information and communication technologies (ICT). It begins by defining ICT and its uses. It then discusses the evolution of the internet from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 and Web 3.0. Web 2.0 allows for more dynamic and interactive web pages while Web 3.0 aims to have machines understand user preferences. The document also outlines key features of Web 2.0 like tagging and user participation. Finally, it discusses trends in ICT like convergence of technologies, the rise of social media, mobile technologies, and assistive media.
Web 2.0 refers to second generation web development that facilitates communication and collaboration on the World Wide Web. It is characterized by dynamic and user-generated content, integration of various media types, and interactive communication through social networking. Social media and user-generated content have grown rapidly in popularity, surpassing email usage. Effective use of social media requires developing a strategy and authentic engagement with online communities through blogs, social networks, and mobile applications while starting small.
Gov 2.0 - eGovernment Social Media Platform Deployments and Future OpportunitiesNIC Inc | EGOV
This document discusses the potential for governments to adopt "Gov 2.0" strategies that incorporate social media and collaboration tools modeled after successful Web 2.0 implementations in private enterprises. It outlines some initial Gov 2.0 projects but notes that broad enterprise-level implementations are still lacking. The document advocates that governments start by implementing basic Web 2.0 features like blogs, wikis and RSS feeds to provide more information to citizens and opportunities for feedback, and that policies will develop alongside implementation experiences over time. Web 2.0 is seen as able to improve data access, public participation and customer service for governments if adopted responsibly.

This Chapter analyzes the impact that class, race, and gender have on shaping laws and the lawmaking process. Although criminal law is thought to be an objective measure of harm, it is instead the direct result of our political process headed by a powerful few, where money and privilege reign. The authors explain that the laws that shape our reality and perceptions of what is criminal serve the interests of the influential ruling class at the expense of the underclasses.

Thinking and Intelligence
Figure 7.1 Thinking is an important part of our human experience, and one that has captivated people for centuries.
Today, it is one area of psychological study. The 19th-century Girl with a Book by José Ferraz de Almeida Júnior, the
20th-century sculpture The Thinker by August Rodin, and Shi Ke’s 10th-century painting Huike Thinking all reflect the
fascination with the process of human thought. (credit “middle”: modification of work by Jason Rogers; credit “right”:

Chapter Outline
7.1 What Is Cognition?
7.2 Language
7.3 Problem Solving
7.4 What Are Intelligence and Creativity?
7.5 Measures of Intelligence
7.6 The Source of Intelligence
Introduction
Why is it so difficult to break habits—like reaching for your ringing phone even when you shouldn’t, such
as when you’re driving? How does a person who has never seen or touched snow in real life develop an
understanding of the concept of snow? How do young children acquire the ability to learn language with
no formal instruction? Psychologists who study thinking explore questions like these.
Cognitive psychologists also study intelligence. What is intelligence, and how does it vary from person
to person? Are “street smarts” a kind of intelligence, and if so, how do they relate to other types of
intelligence? What does an IQ test really measure? These questions and more will be explored in this
chapter as you study thinking and intelligence.
In other chapters, we discussed the cognitive processes of perception, learning, and memory. In this
chapter, we will focus on high-level cognitive processes. As a part of this discussion, we will consider
thinking and briefly explore the development and use of language. We will also discuss problem solving
and creativity before ending with a discussion of how intelligence is measured and how our biology
and environments interact to affect intelligence. After finishing this chapter, you will have a greater
appreciation of the higher-level cognitive processes that contribute to our distinctiveness as a species.

Learning Objectives
By the end of this section, you will be able to:
• Describe cognition
• Distinguish concepts and prototypes
• Explain the difference between natural and artificial concepts
Imagine all of your thoughts as if they were physical entities, swirling rapidly inside your mind. How is it
possible that the brain is able to move from one thought to the next in an organized, orderly fashion? The
brain is endlessly perceiving, processing, planning, organizing, and remembering—it is always active. Yet,
you don’t notice most of your brain’s activity as you move throughout your daily routine. This is only one
facet of the complex processes involved in cognition. Simply put, cognition is thinking, and it encompasses
the processes associated with perception, knowledge, problem solving, judgment, langu.

Chapter 7The Problem of EvilOf all the objections to theism pr.docxrobertad6
Chapter 7
The Problem of Evil
Of all the objections to theism presented by atheists, the most celebrated and oft-rehearsed, by far, is the problem of evil and suffering. Debates about evolution and the like notwithstanding, most reflective theists would likely agree that objections to belief in God posed by the occurrence of evil and suffering present a far more serious challenge than do objections from science. (In fact, one of the most popular lines of objection to theistic evolution is really a version of the problem of evil; it asks, How could a perfectly loving God employ a means of creation that proceeds by way of the systematic destruction of the weakest and most vulnerable creatures?) A distinction must be drawn, however, between the problem of evil as a philosophical objection to religious belief and the problem as a concerned question.
Some philosophers have put forward arguments from evil which purport to show that God does not exist or that belief in God is unreasonable. To such philosophical attacks, philosophical responses are appropriate. However, many people—believers and nonbelievers alike—are bothered by evil. When they are faced with suffering, on their own part or on the part of others, they may pose an agonizing Why? A philosophical argument is often the last thing such a person wants to hear; such an argument may appear irritatingly superficial or even callous. The person wants compassion and empathy, and the proper response may simply be to listen and try to share the other’s grief and questions. At such times the problem of evil calls more for pastoral care than for philosophical debate.
The philosophical problem of evil, on the other hand, can be posed briefly and sharply. It appears to many people that a perfectly good, all-knowing and all-powerful being, were he to exist, would not allow the kinds or quantity of evil and suffering that exists in our world. The underlying assumption of this argument is the intuition—common to many atheists and theists alike—that a good being eliminates evil as far as it is able to. God, being omniscient, should be aware of every instance of evil and suffering; being perfectly good, he would presumably want to eliminate all evil; being omnipotent, he should be able to do just that. If there were a God, therefore, one would expect not to find any evil in the world. Since one does find evil—and quite a bit of it—God must not exist. In this way, the existence of evil and suffering is thought to undermine the rationality of belief in God.
Types of Evil, Versions of the Problem and Types of Responses
The evils in the world which this argument takes as its basis are usually divided into two types. Moral evil is all the evil which is due to the actions of free, morally responsible beings. Murders, rapes and the hunger caused by social injustice would be examples of moral evil. Natural evil (or nonmoral evil) is all the evil that is not (or at least does not appear to be) due to the actions.

Financial Operations
Financial operations involves the day-to-day oversight of such tasks as billing and collections (revenue cycle), cash management, and inventory management.
The specifics are highly dependent on the type of provider (e.g., hospital versus medical practice versus nursing home).
Thus, the focus here is on fundamental concepts as opposed to details.
Copyright 2009 Health Administration Press

The Revenue Cycle
The revenue cycle is defined as all activities associated with billing and collecting for services.
In general, revenue cycle management should ensure that
patients are properly categorized by payer,
correct and timely billing takes place, and
correct and timely payment is received.
The revenue cycle includes the activities listed on the next slide.

The Revenue Cycle (cont.)
In revenue cycle management, each of the identified activities is closely monitored to ensure that
the correct amount of reimbursement is collected on each patient,
reimbursements are collected as quickly as possible, and
the costs associated with the revenue cycle are minimized consistently with rapid and correct collections.
Two important keys to good revenue cycle management are information technology and electronic claims processing.
Copyright 2009 Health Administration Press

Receivables Management
If a service is provided for cash, the revenue is immediately received.
If the service is provided on credit, the revenue is not received until the receivable is collected.
Receivables management, which falls under the general umbrella of the revenue cycle, is extremely important to healthcare providers.
Why?

Accumulation of Receivables
Suppose Valley Clinic contracts with an insurer whose patients use $2,000 in services daily and who pays in 40 days.
The clinic will accumulate receivables at a rate of $2,000 per day.
However, after 40 days, the receivables balance will stabilize at $80,000:
Receivables = Daily sales × Average collection period
= $2,000
× 40
= $80,000

CHAPTER 7Primate BehaviorWhat is Meant By Behavior.docxrobertad6
CHAPTER 7
Primate Behavior
What is Meant By Behavior?
• Anything organisms do that involves action in response to
internal or external stimuli.
• The response of an individual, group, or species to its
environment.
• Such responses may or may not be deliberate and they
aren't necessarily the results of conscious decision
making.
Ecological Perspective
• Pertains to relationships between organisms and
all aspects of their environment
• Temperature
• Predators
• Vegetation
• Availability of food and water
• Types of food
• Disease organisms
• Parasites
Behavioral Ecology
Focuses on the relationship between behaviors,
natural environment, and biological traits of the
species.
Based on the assumption that animals, plants, and
microorganisms evolved together.
Behaviors have evolved through the operation of
natural selection, or
Some behaviors are influenced by genes and are
subject to natural selection the same way physical
characteristics are.
The Evolution of Behavior
Behavior constitutes a phenotype
Individuals whose behavioral phenotypes increase
reproductive fitness pass on their genes at a faster
rate.
Genes do not code for specific behaviors, but they do
code for biological factors that impact behavior, i.e.
hormone levels, intelligence
Species vary in their limits and potentials for learning
and behavioral flexibility, set by genetic factors.
Natural selection acts on genetic factors shaped by
ecological, the same as it does physical
characteristics
Social Structure
• The composition, size, and sex ratio of a group of
animals.
• The social structure of a species is, in part, the
result of natural selection in a specific habitat, and
it guides individual interactions and social
relationships.
Why Are Primates Social?
• Group living exposes animals to competition with other group
members, so why not live alone?
• Costs of competition are offset by the benefits of predator
defense provided by associating with others.
• Group living evolved as an adaptive response to a number of
ecological variables.
Some Factors That Influence Social Structure
• Body Size
• Larger animals are better able to retain heat and their overall energy
requirements are less than for smaller animals
• This means they need fewer calories per unit of body weight.
Some Factors That Influence Social Structure
• Metabolism
• The chemical processes within cells that break down nutrients and release
energy for the body to use.
• Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and Diet
• Smaller animals generally have a higher BMR than larger ones.
• This means smaller primates require an energy-rich diet high in protein,
fats, and carbohydrates (fruit, and insects).
Some Factors That Influence Social Structure
• BMR and Diet
• Nutritional needs have evolved along with BMR and body size
• Benefits are considered in terms of energy (calories) obtained from food

CHAPTER 7
Friendship
THE NATURE OF FRIENDSHIPFRIENDSHIP ACROSS THE LIFE CYCLEDIFFERENCES IN FRIENDSHIPFRIENDSHIP DIFFICULTIESFOR YOUR CONSIDERATIONCHAPTER SUMMARY
I get by with a little help from my friends. John Lennon
Take a moment and think about your two best friends. Why are they such close companions? Why do you think of them as friends? You probably like but don't love them. (Or, at least, you're not “in love” with them, or you'd probably think of them as more than just “friends.”) You've probably shared a lot of good times with them, and you feel comfortable around them; you know that they like you, too, and you feel that you can count on them to help you when you need it.
Indeed, the positive sentiments you feel toward your friends may actually be rather varied and complex. They annoy you sometimes, but you're fond of them, and because they're best friends, they know things about you that no one else may know. You like to do things with them, and you expect your relationship to continue indefinitely. In fact, if you look back at the features that define intimacy (way back on page 2), you may find that your connections to your best friends are quite intimate, indeed. You may have substantial knowledge of them, and you probably feel high levels of trust and commitment toward them; you may not experience as much caring, interdependence, responsiveness, and mutuality as you do with a romantic partner, but all three are present, nonetheless.
So, are friendships the same as but just less intimate than our romantic partnerships? Yes and no. Friendships are based on the same building blocks of intimacy as romances are, but the mix of components is usually different. Romances also have some ingredients that friendships typically lack, so their recipes do differ. But many of the elements of friendships and romances are quite similar, and this chapter will set the stage for our consideration of love (in chapter 8) by detailing what it means to like an intimate partner. Among other topics, I'll describe various features of friendship and question whether men and women can be “just friends.”

THE NATURE OF FRIENDSHIP
Our friendships are indispensable sources of pleasure and support. One study of unmarried young adults found that over one-third of them (36 percent) considered a friendship to be their “closest, deepest, most involved, and most intimate” current relationship (Berscheid et al., 1989). A larger proportion (47 percent) identified a romantic relationship as their most important partnerships, but friendships were obviously significant connections to others. And they remain so, even after people marry. Another study that used an event-sampling procedure1 to track people's interactions found that they were generally having more fun when they were with friends than when they were alone or with family members, including their spouses. The best times occurred when both their spouses and their friends were present, but if it was one or.

Identifying the Problem: Obesity & Its Consequences
Obesity = excessive body fat/bodyweight
BMI—a ratio of weight to height, calculated as kilograms divided by meters squared
Categorize an individual as obese = BMI ≥30
In children, obesity refers to a BMI greater than, or equal to, the 95th percentile
Obesity is a major risk factor for:
Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension
Greater risk for additional comorbid health conditions, including stroke, arthritis, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, kidney disease, and mental health problems related to social stigma

Disparities

Identifying the Problem: Obesity & Its Consequences
Disparities: Children
Between 1980 and 2004, obesity prevalence tripled among children aged 2 to 19 years increasing from 6% to 19%
Overall prevalence has remained fairly stable since 2004
2011–2012 = 17% of children obese
Hispanic children have the highest obesity prevalence, followed by: non-Hispanic Black and non-Hispanic White children
Black children are more likely to be severely obese than are White children
Trends indicate the most pronounced increase of severe obesity in White female and Black male children
Eyler, Chriqui, Moreland-Russell & Brownson, 2016

Identifying the Problem: Obesity & Its Consequences
Disparities: Adults
More prevalent in non-Hispanic Blacks and Hispanics
Exists at the highest rate among all adults aged 40 to 59 years
Gender- and income-based obesity-related disparities exist among all racial and ethnic groups
Most pronounced among non-Hispanic Black women across all age categories
Higher income non- Hispanic Black and Mexican American men have slightly higher obesity prevalence rates than those with lower incomes
Adults in rural areas are significantly more likely to be obese than those in urban areas

Identifying the Problem: Obesity & Its Consequences
The Costs of Obesity
$315.8 billion was spent on adult obesity-related direct healthcare costs in 2010
Majority of expenses resulting from the treatment of comorbid health conditions, particularly type 2 diabetes
Medicare and Medicaid spending would see decreases of 8.5% and 11.8% if obesity-related costs were removed from the analysis
Obesity-related absenteeism translates to an estimated cost of $8.65 billion per year in lost productivity

APM event held on 9 July in Bristol.
Speaker: Roy Millard
The SWWE Regional Network were very pleased to welcome back to Bristol Roy Millard, of APM’s Assurance Interest Group on 9 July 2024, to talk about project reviews and hopefully answer all your questions.
Roy outlined his extensive career and his experience in setting up the APM’s Assurance Specific Interest Group, as they were known then.
Using Mentimeter, he asked a number of questions of the audience about their experience of project reviews and what they wanted to know.
Roy discussed what a project review was and examined a number of definitions, including APM’s Bok: “Project reviews take place throughout the project life cycle to check the likely or actual achievement of the objectives specified in the project management plan”
Why do we do project reviews? Different stakeholders will have different views about this, but usually it is about providing confidence that the project will deliver the expected outputs and benefits, that it is under control.
There are many types of project reviews, including peer reviews, internal audit, National Audit Office, IPA, etc.
Roy discussed the principles behind the Three Lines of Defence Model:, First line looks at management controls, policies, procedures, Second line at compliance, such as Gate reviews, QA, to check that controls are being followed, and third Line is independent external reviews for the organisations Board, such as Internal Audit or NAO audit.
Factors which affect project reviews include the scope, level of independence, customer of the review, team composition and time.
Project Audits are a special type of project review. They are generally more independent, formal with clear processes and audit trails, with a greater emphasis on compliance. Project reviews are generally more flexible and informal, but should be evidence based and have some level of independence.
Roy looked at 2 examples of where reviews went wrong, London Underground Sub-Surface Upgrade signalling contract, and London’s Garden Bridge. The former had poor 3 lines of defence, no internal audit and weak procurement skills, the latter was a Boris Johnson vanity project with no proper governance due to Johnson’s pressure and interference.
Roy discussed the principles of assurance reviews from APM’s Guide to Integrated Assurance (Free to Members), which include: independence, accountability, risk based, and impact, etc
Human factors are important in project reviews. The skills and knowledge of the review team, building trust with the project team to avoid defensiveness, body language, and team dynamics, which can only be assessed face to face, active listening, flexibility and objectively.

7. 2. Web 2.0 is a term used to describe a phase of World Wide
Web evolution characterized by dynamic webpages; use of XML
and Java; social media; data from multiple sources, as in
mashup applications; broadband connectivity; user
communities; and user-generated and user-controlled content.
3. The new technologies dramatically increase the ability of
people to interact with businesses and each other, sharing and
finding information, and forming relationships. This perspective
explains why Web 2.0 is often called the social Web.
4. AJAX technologies, or asynchronous JavaScript and XML, is
a term referring to a group of technologies and programming
languages that make it possible for webpages to respond to
users’ actions without requiring the entire page to reload. AJAX
makes it possible for Web developers to create small apps that
run on a page instead of a server.
This capability makes programs run much faster, eliminating a
key source of frustration with the early Web.
With AJAX and APIs, website programmers can import data
from other sources to create new functions and features that we
have come to associate with social media applications.
5. “Markets are conversations.”
These conversations enable powerful forms of social
organization and knowledge exchange.
People have figured out they obtain better information and
support from one another than from vendors. So much for
corporate rhetoric about adding value to commoditized
products.
Companies should realize their markets are often laughing. At
them.
6. Feature convergence is the trend for applications to take on
15. 1. Older online communities were often like public bulletin
boards where all members of the community could read the
messages that others posted. Websites were static, essentially
online billboards for the businesses that created them. E-mail
was the primary mechanism for social interaction.
A Social Networking Service (SNS) is an online platform or
website that allows subscribers to interact and form
communities or networks based on real-life relationships,
shared interests, activities and so on.
We use a variety of tools and services for sharing interests with
others. In addition to consuming content, we add comments or
reviews and signal our appreciation for the content by clicking a
“Like” or “11” button.
2. Facebook has begun using the term social graph to refer to
the global social network reflecting how we are all connected to
one another through relationships. Facebook users can access a
social graph application that visually represents the connections
among all the people in their network.
Berners-Lee (2007) extends this concept even further when he
coined the term giant global graph. This concept is intended to
illustrate the connections between people and/or documents and
pages online.
3. In April 2010 Zuckerberg announced Facebook’s new
initiative called Open Graph. The goal was to connect all the
different relationships that exist on the Internet by linking
websites to Facebook. Programmers at external websites were
encouraged to include a Facebook “Like” button on their
websites. That way, when a Facebook member visits the
website, they can click “Like” and their relationship with that
website will be reflected back on their Facebook page for

29. your hard drive. Other services require you to manually upload
and download files. Dropbox also maintains a version history
for documents, making it easy to see changes made to a
document and undo them if necessary. This is a great feature for
teams working on collaborative writing projects.
Like Dropbox, box.net is a cloud storage service but places
greater emphasis on social tools and features, which make it a
great choice for collaborating teams. Users can edit files stored
on box.net without downloading to their hard drives. Like many
other social companies, box.net has created an open source API,
allowing third-party developers to write applications for box.net
users that offer additional sharing and collaboration features.
Over 60 such apps have been developed so far.
