Pages: 7 (2057 words) Sources: 6 Document Type:Research Paper Document #:26742092

...Short Introduction
The growth of big data has had significant transformative effects on several industries including technology, agriculture, health, education, and finance.

The growth of Big Data has necessitated the development of computer algorithms and tools that can analyze the data at scale. Good analysis and interpretation of the data allow organizations to ‘co-create’ solutions alongside their target users and create new value that is highly tailored to the needs of the market (Turner, Schroeck & Shockley, 2013).
The financial services sector is one of the industries that have……

Pages: 8 (2442 words) Sources: 15 Document Type:Research Paper Document #:36662199

...Short 1. Introduction
Early 2008, representatives from indigenous health organizations, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner, and the commonwealth government of Australia, signed an agreement that was meant to ensure that all the relevant stakeholders cooperate to ensure indigenous and non-indigenous Australians have equality in life expectancy and health status by 2030 (Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission 2008).
For quite a long time, it has been known that indigenous people in Australia have a disadvantage in terms of health. Many organizations and activists have over the years been trying to bridge the gap in health status between them and non-indigenous Australians and the signing of the agreement was a huge milestone that served two purposes. It raised public awareness on the matter and it helped to lay down plan for the achievement of parity in health status (Pholi, Black, & Richards, 2009).

Abusive Relationships

...Short Abusive Relationships, Patterns of Violence, the Future of the Family
Part 1
Some women remain in abusive relationships for different reasons. Some are scared to leave. Others feel that they still love the person so to leave because they are being abused would be wrong. Some see the abuse as a trade-off that comes with the security the person provides, such as money, shelter, etc. Sometimes there is a co-dependency and the person feels that life would not be any better without the person because there is going to be abuse in life no matter what. Women sometimes think they deserved it or that they made the person upset and that it was just for the man to beat or abuse them.
