Abstract
The writer discusses that while the safety and security of personnel has always been a key element of protecting valued employees, the need for a safe and secure workplace has been even more apparent and chronic in light of the proliferation of workplace violence and the plague of domestic terrorism that affects everyone in their everyday lives. In this paper, the researcher presents and discusses the legal and regulatory factors of security of personnel in the workplace. The areas of regulation, legislation and litigation are examined to show how they are partnering to promote personnel security, along with the role that personnel themselves need to play to ensure their own protection.

Closing Thoughts
From the Paper
"Without a doubt, the largest act of violence enacted in the workplace in recent times was the terrorist attacks which struck the United States on September 11, 2001. Before that time, while workplace violence was a problem, it had never been launched on such a huge scale. In response to this tragedy, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, OSHA, held a National Safety Congress in order to better define how OSHA regulations fit in with laws designed to protect the security of personnel. What OSHA recommended during the Congress is for law enforcement to resist the urge to pass excessive legislation that would only confuse the legal system in a time of great turmoil; rather, it was suggested that the OSHA regulations and laws already in place be reviewed and enforced with a mix of common sense as well as the cooperation of human resource personnel everywhere to create a safer work environment from the standpoint of security."

Abstract
This paper explains that database security is the protection of the database against unauthorized access, either intentional or accidental; security countermeasures should combat threats and the outcomes of such threats. The author points out that physical security means that a SQL Server system is running in a controlled-access environment in which only approved personnel have physical access to the system; whereas, appropriate physical security means that SQL Server should be isolated from web infrastructures and direct Internet access. The paper concludes that network and operating system security are not sufficient to defend against dynamic threats to a web application; therefore, database and web application server techniques are a necessity, but even with these extra layers of security in place, there's no such thing as a full-proof security system.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Access control prevents unauthorized persons from accessing a system to either obtain information or make changes. Like most databases, Microsoft SQL Server handles access control by allowing the creation of user accounts and passwords to control log-in. Additionally, Microsoft SQL Server supports the use of Windows NT Integrated Security where users are identified to the database by their Windows NT user accounts rather than user ID and password to access the database. Chapple states that this approach offers both the benefit of shifting the burden of account management to the network administration staff and it provides the ease of a single sign-on to the end user."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Security has always been an issue with companies that keep sensitive records regarding clients and their business, but the issue has become more complex in an era in which many records are kept on computer so that putting records under lock and key can only be part of the solution. In the current case, the client has particular concerns and is willing to pay any amount of money to protect financial records, health records, and communication data such as codeword archives, precious gems/stones/minerals, and formulas for nuclear energy. This client is further concerned about the current personnel responsible for these duties and curious about how to expand his operations to do more in this area, and the client wants to know our plan for bringing on trusted personnel and how he can protect against adversaries."

From the Paper
"Social Security has been implemented by using the contributions from both employer and employee. A special payroll tax was created to support Social Security so that people would be aware of it every time they received their wages. The Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax was labeled a contribution from both employer and employee and people knew they had to work a certain period of time to become eligible. The design of Social Security is made in a way that the contributions made and benefits received have a link between them."

Abstract
This paper takes an in-depth look at airport security policies before and after the September 11th terrorist attacks in New York. The paper looks at the some of the policies adopted by the Clinton Administration, including the salary levels of the personnel who man the security stations at the airports. The author then examines the policies that the Bush Administration has implemented, or attempted to implement since the September 11 attacks. Some of the new government agencies, roles and policies are discussed in light of the new environment created by these terrorist attacks. In the aftermath of this tragedy and others including Oklahoma City and Columbine High School, the U.S. government was quick to introduce new policies that, had they been in place prior to these tragedies, may have helped prevent them from occurring. Despite this feeling, the new policies have been successful in helping to re-gain the public's confidence in airline travel in the United States.
From the Paper
"While airport security policies have vastly improved since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, there is still no guarantee that the nation will be eternally free from such violent attacks. In addition, there are rising concerns about whether the imposition of such rigid airport security policies violates individuals? privacy rights. Although emergencies such as the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks result in prompt action, emergencies have also always been a time when the niceties of law have been most vulnerable to the demands of national security or national hysteria. The most vivid example of this was during World War II, when Japanese Americans were rounded up like cattle and detained in internment camps. Likewise, after the Oklahoma City bombing, the Immigration and Naturalization Service was authorized to establish a new court to consider the deportation of suspected alien terrorists, in which cases would be heard without the usual obligation to inform the accused of the evidence against them."

Political Feasibility and Implementation
From the Paper
"Prior to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, airport security efforts focused primarily on screening passengers and carry-on luggage with metal detectors and X-Ray machines. Following the tragedy, Congress ordered the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to screen all checked baggage for explosives and random searches were added to security lines. Other enhancements to airline security post-9/11 included allowing pilots to arm themselves and placing air marshals on commercial flights. The new security measures and extra precautions have conflicted sharply with traveler efficiency and convenience, and pressure has built from the public to reduce this friction between safety and expediency."

Abstract
This paper describes a virtual website, similar to KaZaA in the file-swapping aspect, but instead of music, provides first-rate Hollywood-caliber movies, from which members have the opportunity to download specialized encryption software to their system. The author points out that website security for the Internet and internal networked environments has three basic objectives: confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The paper states that the website will require various software tools, such as encryption and database software, firewalls, routers and other hardware, but the keys to security are reputable vendors, who are reliable with support and well-trained, and knowledgeable network administrators and personnel.

Introduction

Basic Threats, Risks, and Security Requirements
Corporate Policies

Mechanisms
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Whatever the case, our website security aspirations will be very difficult to achieve. In the modern world, a high school kid with a failing average could easily gain unauthorized access to an insecure network or website environment. The real problem is that many people know exactly what they are doing because today's adolescents have grown up with technology and they understand it. Couple this with the fact that whole nations and industries have become computer crime intruders such as what has occurred in China. Network security engineers have to be on the lookout for many attacks."

America's Security, 2006.
This paper looks at the The Patriot Act and the support and opposition to it.
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 2 sources, AU$ 56.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses that the purpose of the United States Patriot Act is; "To deter and punish terrorist acts in the United States and around the world, to enhance law enforcement investigatory tools and for other purposes." This opening statement of the Patriot Act provides evidence of the support of the act with stipulations why the act was created in the best interests of the American public and the security of the country. The paper quotes arguments in support of the act, that there is the ability of law enforcement personnel to take immediate action when there is the possibility of a terrorist threat to the country. This provision is considered important because the threat of terrorist activities often is not known until action to prevent activities is immediately required.

Personnel Practitioner, 2004.
Examines the role of the personnel practitioner in the field of human resources management.
1,759 words (approx. 7.0 pages), 10 sources, APA, AU$ 89.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The personnel function, also called HRM or human resources management, is seen by more and more companies as having a strategic role to play in improving the company's competitive position in the marketplace. The paper shows that, in order to facilitate this, the role of the personnel practitioner may have to evolve. Certain changes need to be made to make the personnel function fit better with its developing strategic role, including a clearer definition of those functions, a definition accepted more widely, and other changes to give the personnel function more credibility.
From the Paper
"Corporations may find it more advantageous to hire personnel practitioners on a consultancy basis in order to take advantage of an individual?s specialized areas of expertise. The needs of a corporation are diverse, some having the problem of hiring more personnel so that they may need someone with more aces to a diverse group of employees, and some may need motivation for the workforce and so will need someone who specialize in being a coach. Still others, especially multinationals, require an expert in intercultural training. Even other corporations may have the problem of building a unique corporate culture in order to get the best from their workers."

Abstract
Business is constantly changing, and personnel planning and the selection process directly affect trends in globalization, technology, and diversity. In order to be successful, companies must develop plans for recruiting and retaining personnel in the convenience store industry. This paper provides an article review of "Eye on the Asian Market", Bill Stephens, and discusses personnel planning, selection tools, and their effectiveness within 7-Eleven.
From the Paper
"Globalization, technology, and diversity trends are just one of the many challenges that 7-Eleven H.R. faces. Although these areas are a challenge, H.R. has been extremely successful managing these areas. In the past, 7-Eleven staffed its operation by running ads in the local paper or using an employment agency. This has changed significantly. The effectiveness of 7-Eleven?s automated screening process has enabled applicants to apply within minutes, rather than calling a phone number out of an ad and waiting for an interview to be scheduled."

Abstract
This paper considers the reasons for using non-nursing personnel to perform nursing tasks and then takes a look at the advantages and disadvantages of doing so. The paper also discusses the outlook for using non-nursing personnel in the nursing profession as well as the decline in qualified nurses in the labor pool.
From the Paper
"Much has been written about the nursing shortage that plagues physicians, hospitals and nursing homes in the United States. At the same time that there are fewer qualified nurses available in the work force a number of states and municipalities have passed regulations regarding the nurse-to-patient ratio that is making the situation even more acute. As a result, healthcare providers have been forced to be innovative in the way that they attract nurses to their institutions and recruiting efforts..."

Public versus Private Personnel Administration, 2004.
An analysis of the differences between public and private personnel administration.
2,734 words (approx. 10.9 pages), 6 sources, MLA, AU$ 129.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses and compares the theories of public personnel administration and private personnel administration. The paper contends that the theorists of the past such as Ogburn, Machiavelli and Marx have offered many great contributions to our current understanding of public and private administration. These theorists' ideas are examined in the paper. The paper concludes with the belief that there is a clear indication that public administration is directly dependent on the social system as well as the system of production prevalent in society.
From the Paper
"The practice of public personnel administration has evolved in a continuum from the Classical Management theory, through shifting emphasis on Behaviouralism, Systems theory and Contingency theory (Haque & Ahmed, 1992). Past research and theorists have suggested that the development of modern management thought and practice can be traced by examining the evolution of societies as they have passed from pre-industrial economic structure. This development applies to public personnel administration as well, as there appears to be a correlation between a complicated system of production and the progress of the techniques of administration (Haque & Ahmed, 1992).

Qualified Personnel in the Pharmaceutical Industry, 2002.
A paper which shows how medically qualified personnel can add value to the pharmaceutical industry.
1,110 words (approx. 4.4 pages), 5 sources, MLA, AU$ 61.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
By examining several examples, the paper shows how medically trained personnel play a key role in bridging the gap between the pharmaceutical industry and the medical industry. It shows that as well as the medical knowledge, the ethics and patient focus of a medically trained professional also adds value to the industry and to health and patient care in general.
From the Paper
"This is also valuable working in the opposite direction. Medically qualified personnel can communicate the needs of the medical community to the pharmaceutical industry, for example if a new drug is needed for a certain condition. If a strong need is communicated, the pharmaceutical can put research funding into searching for a suitable new drug. Based on the commercial nature of the pharmaceutical industry, it is logical that pharmaceutical companies will work to develop products if they know there is a market for them. This helps both the medical industry, the pharmaceutical industry and ultimately, the public and the patient as well."
