B.O.G.G.L.E.S.: Boundary Optical GeoGraphic Lidar Environment System

The purpose of this paper is to describe a pseudo X-ray vision system that pairs a Lidar scanner with a visualization device. The system as a whole is referred to as B.O.G.G.L.E.S. There are several key factors that went into the development of this system and the background information and design approach are thoroughly described. B.O.G.G.L.E.S functionality is depicted through the use of design constraints and the analysis of test results. Additionally, many possible developments for B.O.G.G.L.E.S are proposed in the paper. This indicates that there are various avenues of improvement for this project that could be implemented in the future

When Money is not a Motivating Force in the Work Place

Each individual has a driving force that encourages their efforts to perform in the workplace It can be anything supporting their family saving up for vacationing achievement-even to survive What we do know is that one has to ask what will happen if they perform well in the work place and if it s enough to keep them motived to work Employees ask themselves if I go the extra mile will I be noticed Motivation is a critical factor that needs to be highlighted as one of the key focal points in an organization to achieve efficiency in the workplace The individual will be productive in the workplace if the individual believes that their desirable goal or need can be reached Some would argue that underneath that motivation money plays a primary role for employees in the work place To some degree money can be one incentive however it is not the defining reason for motivation Non-monetary incentives can be just as effective to motivate an individual Giving an employee a raise or offering a better salary does not guarantee job satisfactio

A Demographic and Sociological Perspective on

In this article, Mr. Jorge Chapa focuses on the underlying appreciation of the humanity of undocumented immigrants in . In doing so, he attempts to provide lawmakers and policymakers with demographic information and sociological perspectives on undocumented immigrants. As such, he presents information on the racialization of undocumented immigrants (the assumption that all undocumented immigrants are Mexican), the guest worker program, employer recruiting efforts that can constitute a de facto guest worker program, and the use of undocumented immigrants in the meatpacking industry. He concludes that comprehensive immigration reform should take such demographic information and sociological perspectives into account to ensure that U.S. immigration polices and practices are consistent with the pressures and incentives created by U.S. economic policies and practices

Mexican-American Class Structure and Political Participation

This article examines the political attitudes and participation of Mexican-Americans in the context of Milton Gordon\u27s assimilation theory and William Julius Wilson\u27s analyses of bifurcated economic structures resulting in middle-class and lower- or underclass populations. For Gordon, civic assimilation was a step toward complete assimilation. After demonstrating that the Mexican-American population has not achieved parity with the Anglo population even when controlling for generational differences over five decades, the author specifically examines the political attitudes and practices of lower-class (high school dropouts) and middle-class (high school graduates) third-generation Mexican-Americans. The two class groups have similar attitudes about bilingual education and discrimination. The major differences lie in the rates of registration and voting. The similarity in attitudes held by Mexican-Americans is thought to reflect the fact that a large proportion of this population still faces structured disadvantages that are at odds with any notion of assimilation

A qualitative study of the Hispanic gender role and social-cultural factors influencing the attraction process: The recruitment of the Latina to meet 21st century labor shortage challenges in America

Approximately one-fourth of the 303,824,640 individuals representing the labor workforce in the United States (U.S.) are part of the baby boom cohort (Toossi, 2004). Seventy eight million individuals are credited for the shifting demographics in the U.S. The largest gap in the labor force will be seen in the professional arena (Hilton, 2008). In order to proactively meet the challenge of a future labor shortage, organizations will need to focus their recruitment effort on the remaining replacement pool of qualified individuals. For a variety of reasons, the recruitment of the Hispanic as a sustainable and growing replacement pool offers many competitive advantages. The focus of this dissertation centers on the female gender within the Hispanic group, the Latina. Theory and research focused on factors identified as gender-role expectations, social network influences and cultural norms values and beliefs (GSC) within the Hispanic group imply that the Hispanic females are more affected by these factors than their male counterparts (Burke & Tully, 1977; Villarreal & Cavazos, 2005; Zurcher et al., 1965). Thus, the purpose of this grounded theory study is to fill two voids in the literature by first identifying the GSC factors, if any, which could hinder the Latinas\u27 attraction to an organization. In particular, the research interest is whether the social and cultural factors existed for the Latina and if they influenced her attraction to an organization when job requirements impeded her ability to fulfill gender-role expectations. This study identifies the recruiters presently trying to attract the Latina are facing a challenge because of the GSC factors and, if so, whether the organizations had formulated or practiced any effective recruitment strategies that seem to decrease the influence of the GSC factors
