The Effectiveness of JetBlue if Allowed to Manage More of its Resources
The following study will investigate an airline’s efficiency when given more control of their resources at an airport. Several departing flights from a less restrictive facility are investigated and compared to those that are more controlled. John F. Kennedy Airport was the experimental group and non-JFK airports were the control group. Each group of departures consists of 90 flights. Mathematical analysis was done using a 2 sample hypothesis t test. This was completed using an average of the delays for each flight to calculate the final data point. It was determined that there was no statistically significant difference between the experimental group and the control group. However, it is noteworthy to mention that the delay time was on average lower at one of the busiest airports where JetBlue Airways is allowed more freedom of operation compared to other facilities

Violence at Work - The Emeregence of a Social Problem
This article analyses trends in violence at work on the basis of victim surveys, work-environment surveys, and press material. It proceeds from the two most common explanations of why violence at work appears to have increased over recent decades. These emphasize shifts in working conditions that have increased employees' victimization risk, and a broadened view of what is regarded as work-related violence. The empirical analyses provide support for both these explanations, and the various dimensions examined—increased reporting propensities, expanded definitions, a reduced tolerance of violence, and altered working conditions—are linked to one another.Violence at work - the emergence, development and structure of a social problem (FAS
