Implications. Nothing herein shall be construed as to imply the negotiability of matters relating to curriculum, textbook selection or the like.
Implications. If any Change in Law occurs that has a material adverse effect on the cost to Seller of performing its obligations under this Agreement, then the Parties shall, within 30 days following receipt by Customer from Seller of notice of such Change in Law, meet and attempt in good faith to negotiate amendments to this Agreement as are reasonably necessary to preserve the economic value of this Agreement to both Parties. If the Parties are unable to agree upon such amendments within such 30-day period, then Seller, at its sole discretion, shall have the right thereafter to terminate this Agreement without further liability to either Party except with respect to payment of amounts accrued prior to termination.
Implications. An understanding and application of the concept of materiality helps to manage, and be seen to be managing significant impacts and issues better. Matters that rise to the level of ‘materiality’ are those that require high-level, co-coordinated effort. Many other issues, whilst not material, will still be addressed and managed by the company, and need to be communicated to stakeholders – but in focused, targeted ways – not in the annual report. With a full understanding of materiality and how it works, stakeholders should become better equipped to raise the issues that matter most to them.
Implications. The results of the study suggest that prevention efforts for reduction of Romaphobia should focus on the feelings of threat and the nationalistic feelings. The feelings of economic threat may be reduced by working towards the creation of superordinate group identities that endorse perception of out-groups as valuable resources; not just as an extra group of competitors (Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, 1996). Symbolic threat may be reduced through intercultural training programs that may focus on enhancing alternative multidimensional classifications of ‘others’ (Xxxxxx & Xxxxx, 2002), and on reducing the salience of category distinctiveness (Xxxxxx, 1999). The adolescents participating in the current study were all students in secondary schools. Given the fact that the Roma youngsters are particularly a risk group to be exposed to all forms of violence from their peers (UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, 2008), these schools and possibly primary schools as well, are ideal places to implement strategies and programs aimed at achieving the aforementioned goals. And, last but not least, in terms of political participation in society adolescents are the newcomers. Their attitudes in the field of ethnic prejudice may provide important insight into personal value orientations that are crucial in a democratic society, such as tolerance and voting behavior (x.x. Xxxxxx & Sears, 1986).
Implications. In this Section we examine more closely the implications of Proposition 1 as the raw parame- ters and the fee-shifting rule change. We seek a set of statements of the type “as this change occurs in the raw parameters or in the fee-shifting rule (or both), this outcome becomes more or less likely, or remains equally likely.” It should be noted that the word “likely” in these statements has a specific meaning that, while common, does not directly map into standard probabilities. If we say that a particular equilibrium outcome X ∈ {N, C, S} becomes more (less) likely as a result of a certain parameter(s) (say) increasing we will mean that the set of (other) raw parameters under which the outcome X obtains before the change is a subset (superset) of the one that yields outcome X after the change. If the set is the same before and after the change we will say that the likelihood of X has not changed.22 22Notice that this way of proceeding is consistent with placing a prior distribution with full support on the set of possible parameters and then drawing a configuration of parameters (a particular “case”) at random, all while remaining agnostic about the precise distribution governing the draw.
Implications. The park district’s 2016 budget includes $2,500 for programming at the Xxxxxxx Education Center. Through the Facility Use Agreement the park district will be looking to offer recreation and health/fitness classes. The classes would be offered at fees equivalent to or less than the direct cost of providing class. The $2,500 budget was approved to be used to supplement direct program costs that are not recuperated through the program fees paid. Initially the park district will be offering a Zumba class weekly and plans to expand offerings based on identified needs and wants.
Implications. The parties acknowledge that during the negotiations that resulted in this Agreement, each had the unlimited right and opportunity to make demands and proposals on any subject within the scope of negotiations. The understandings and agreements arrived at by the parties after the exercise of the right and opportunity are set forth herein, and the parties agree that this Agreement constitutes the entire contract between them and settles all demands and issues on all matters within the scope of negotiations.
Implications. The results of this study, which indicate that husbands and wives generally agree in terms of tolerance for risk, presents a potential problem for practitioners who need to know to what extent married couples agree on evaluations of financial risk tolerance. Consider a financial counselor who is advising a couple on mortgage refinancing alternatives. On the one hand, results from this study suggest that the practitioner can be reasonably assured that the risk-tolerance estimation of one spouse represents the other spouse’s tolerance for risk as well; however, the caveat noted above that the level of agreement in this study was low suggests that the financial counselor would be well advised to assess both the husband’s and wife’s risk tolerance before making a risk-based recommendation. Further research is required to examine the dynamics that contribute to spouses’ level of risk-tolerance agreement and risk perception. For example, there may be greater similarity in spouses’ perception of risk due to similar financial experiences within their marriage. Professionals can clearly benefit from being more cognizant of the fact that careful assessment of a couple’s risk tolerance should take place. A multidimensional approach should be utilized to determine the appropriate amount of risk to take in a couple’s investment portfolio. Practitioners should also be aware that adjusting the risk of a portfolio downward from what is consistent with the husband’s tolerance for the assumed benefit of the wife may result in the suboptimal allocation of their investment portfolio and reduce their likelihood of meeting their goals. Instead, appropriate risk-tolerance assessment should take place independently with both the husband and wife. Based on the findings of this study, financial planners should refrain from employing the heuristic that husbands will be substantially more risk tolerant than their wives. Rather, financial professionals should be aware of potentially similar risk preferences of husbands and wives. Finally, given the self-selection bias inherent to this sample, there are potential limitations associated with the generalizability of the findings to the overall adult population. Given that the majority of the sample was made up of current clients of financial services firms, however, the sample may be more representative of the subset of the population that utilizes professional financial planning and counseling services. Furthermore, the findings are qui...
Implications. Despite being presented with vignettes from a psychopathology textbook designed to perfectly emulate specific psychiatric diagnoses, most participants were unable to identify the correct diagnosis nor come to a majority agreement on a diagnosis. This implies that while all disciplines’ psychopathology training are equally effective, they are also equally ineffective at preparing future practitioners for diagnosing by themselves. Participants in this study were more accurate in diagnosing when consulting with other practitioners or utilizing the DSM-5 while considering diagnosis. For both of these conditions, the aggregate score was one point higher for participants who utilized available resources than for their counterparts who did not use available resources. This implies that bringing in viewpoints different than one’s own, even objective viewpoints like that of the DSM-5, are beneficial in providing accurate diagnoses for clients. These viewpoints could act as a balance against implicit biases or highlight symptoms or severity of symptoms that may have been missed on initial assessment of the client. When the diagnoses were viewed as part of a family of related diagnoses instead of a singular diagnosis, agreement on the diagnosis rose significantly. This suggests that viewing diagnosing as identifying a family of related diagnoses or symptoms rather than a very specific individual diagnosis may be more beneficial in diagnostic accuracy. Bringing diagnoses together under the same umbrella has already begun in some areas. In the DSM-5, Xxxxxxxx’s Disorder has been absorbed into autism spectrum disorder and the family of psychotic disorders is called schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). This suggests that the differences between diagnoses in the same family of related disorders may not be as important as originally thought. The more important and beneficial aspect of diagnosis would be to diagnose in a general family to begin treatment sooner.
Implications. The results of the two studies reported here have important practical implications for designers of information campaigns about CCS. Our results indicate that the best practice in informing citizens about CCS may be to provide them with information that originates from those stakeholders they perceive to be credible. In particular, it is important that relevant stakeholders are trusted. The present findings suggest that when trust in CCS stakeholders is lacking, this results in dissatisfaction with information provided and consequently in impairment in people’s ability to form accurate impressions of CCS. To avoid that citizens reject CCS because of their dissatisfaction with information provided it is important that trusted stakeholders such as NGOs provide the relevant CCS information. This also implies that government—an obvious stakeholder to provide information to the public—should reconsider its role in communication about CCS, given Dutch citizens’ current general lack of trust in government and politicians (e.g., Xxxxxx & Xxx xxx Xxxx, 2004).
