...Nine: Two Robert T. Craig Communication Theory as a Field May 1999 Pages 119-161 This essay reconstructs communication theory as a dialogical-dialectical field according to two principles: the constitutive model of communication as a metamodel and theory as metadiscursive practice. The essay argues that all communication theories are mutually relevant when addressed to a practical lifeworld in which “communication” is already a richly meaningful term. Each tradition of communication theory derives from and appeals rhetorically to certain commonplace beliefs about communication while challenging other beliefs. The complementarities and tensions among traditions generate a theoretical metadiscourse that intersects with and potentially informs the ongoing practical metadiscourse in society. In a tentative scheme of the field, rhetorical, semiotic, phenomenological, cybernetic, sociopsychological, sociocultural, and critical traditions of communication theory are distinguished by characteristic ways of defining communication and problems of communication, metadiscursive vocabularies, and metadiscursive commonplaces that they appeal to and challenge. Topoi for argumentation across traditions are suggested and implications for theoretical work and disciplinary practice in the field are considered. Communication theory is enormously rich in the range of ideas that fall within its nominal scope, and new theoretical work on communication has recently been flourishing...

...Training of Legal Apprentices In Japan, in order to enter the legal profession, it is required, in principle, to complete Law School, which is a professional graduate school, to pass the National Bar Examination, and to complete a one-year training course of legal apprentices (Notes 1 to 3). This course is indispensable, and is intended to develop legal professions who have the knowledge and skills relating to a wide range of legal practices as well as high professionalism and ethical standards, based on the legal theory and basic practical groundings that they have acquired at law schools. Those who pass the final national examination and complete training course are qualified to become assistant judges, public prosecutors or practicing attorneys. While Law Schools provide distinctive education in different styles, the training of legal apprentices is implemented based on the common curriculum applicable to all those who are to become judges, public prosecutors and practicing attorneys. (It is generally referred to as a unified training system.) This unified training system, into which the old training system for the magistratures (judges and public prosecutors) and the old training system for practicing attorneys was integrated, has been adopted as Japan’s consistent policy for legal training system since the training system for legal apprentices started in 1947. Under this system, while learning the viewpoints from which the respective types of legal professions examine...

...is consistently evolving with new advances, technologies, and evidence based research, which challenges nurses to continue to stay on top of the industry to meet the increasing demands of our specialty to ensure continued safe and effective practice, and positive patient outcomes. Nursing most specifically is focused on a future of preventative, community, and palliative care to promote an increase in healthy living, and a proactive approach to ones health which will help to prevent an increase in healthcare cost in the future. In order to be successful our profession will need to focus on nursing education, leadership, and nursing practice. Nurses are the nerve center of the healthcare system and ensuring these key components are in place will lead us to a successful future. The Impact of the IOM Report on Nursing Education “Nurses should achieve higher levels of education and training through an improved education system that promotes seamless academic progression” (IOM p.163) The IOM is a report which has created a plan for the growth and future of nursing which focuses on higher education to ensure nursing stays proactive in its approach in the ever changing field of medicine. The evolvement of the health care system requires nurses to further their knowledge through advanced education. The education will need to focus on the level of nursing degrees and advanced certifications. For an example; if it was required that all nurses practice with a BSN it would “provide a...

...The impact of the 2010 IOM report on nursing: Health care industry is a rapidly expanding field with new findings in research and innovation. The career of nursing stands out among all other fields not only in United States of America but in all parts of the world. The 2010 report from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) along with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) addressed many aspects in nursing. The impact of this report on nursing practice will be discussed below, with regard to nursing practice, nursing education, and a nurse’s role as a leader. Development in nursing recognizes the changing health care sector in the U.S. and tailors the future vision of health care and the role of nurses to fulfill that vision. The impact on nursing education: According to the IOM report, the format of nursing education must be changed. At present nursing education is very expensive and inaccessible. Funding from State and Federal Government agencies would provide support needed to generate more affordable nursing education. Lower education costs and increased availability of nursing seats in colleges will assist and encourage nurses with associate degrees to obtain their baccalaureate degree or higher in nursing. Colleges must continually review and remodel their curriculum to keep up with the advancements in the field of medicine. IOM reported that nurses’ knowledge and their potential are not utilized to its fullest. Nurses are still...

...Cunningham Industrial and Organizational Psychology The area of industrial and organizational psychology has been studied since the infancy of psychology itself (Spector, 2008). Originally, industrial and organizational psychology was concerned with the industrial side of the field that concentrated on the management aspects of business and emphasized human resources as opposed to the organization side, which is concerned with improving work conditions in the workplace. As the field has grown over the years it has come to include the complete range of industry and organization. Strictly speaking, industrial and organizational psychology is defined by “an applied field that is concerned with the development and application of scientific principles to the workplace” (Spector, 2008, p. 5). On the practical level, the aim of industrial and organizational psychology is to, “improve the quality of the environment for employees as well as to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of employee behavior in that environment” (Barnes-Holmes, 2006, p. 56). The concise definition and practical application of industrial and organizational psychology are only the capstone to an understanding of the length and breadth of the field. A full examination of the evolution of industrial and organizational psychology as well as an explanation of how research and statistics work throughout I/O psychology are needed to form the foundation on which the capstone is placed.

...brain is the greatest machine that has ever been studied. Its amazing complexity is indescribable until this day. The practice of neurology is the study of how the brain functions according to its components: the nervous system and the spinal cord structure. Neurosurgeons are the “hands on practicians” of neurology. They study and perform surgeries on the brain, the spinal cord and also treat diseases that affect the nervous system. They are the closest humans to understanding the complexity of how the brain works. Through extensive years of education they are one the most recognized medical doctors and the most devoted. Neurology is the study of diseases that affect the nervous system and neurosurgeons are its great practitioners. They also deal with diseases or damage that is done to the spinal cord. The neurological treatment of the spinal cord, and its great connection with the brain is a essential part of neurological surgery and it’s a great part of what type of surgeries, neurosurgeons perform. The long journey to neurosurgery isn’t easy, and it starts with a great devotion to work hard in a four-year college. The most important step of the education process is to be accepted to a competitive medical school. A bachelor’s degree is necessary to be accepted into medical school. It would be preferred if its a bachelor’s degree concentrated in a field that relates to pre-medicine classes. Classes such as biology, chemistry, and other sciences would make good candidates...

...se Thomas A. Horan Claremont Graduate University, ABSTRACT The e-Gov field (also called Electronic Government, Digital Government, Electronic Governance, and similar names) emerged in the late 1990´s. Since then it spurred several scientific conferences and journals. Because the field grew considerably in size, both its contents and position with respect to other research fields and disciplines need to be explained and discussed. What is e-Gov? What is e-Gov research? What does it mean for the field of Information Systems? This paper briefly sketches the short eGov history and current status, and discusses the content of the field as it appears in current research. We conclude with a discussion of e-Gov as a research field of interest both as a new application area for IS theories and methods and as a source of new insight. Keywords: electronic government, governance I. INTRODUCTION The e-Gov (Electronic Government or Electronic Governance) field1 emerged in the late 1990´s as a context within which to share experiences among practitioners. Over the past few years eGov gave rise to several conferences with more and more scientific content. Some specialized journals now appear. Because the field grew to considerable size, both its contents and position with respect to other research fields and disciplines needs to be explained and discussed. What is e-Gov?

...specialize in one, two, or three areas versus being a solo practitioner. By following your states guidelines and Rule 7.4 (d) (1), Communication of Field Practice and Specialization (Ginsburg, 2013), an attorney can be specialized after quite a lengthy process to include continuing legal education (CLE), practice experience, peer review and testing (Ginsburg, 2013). By specializing attorneys are able to focus on a specific clientele and be in direct competition with fewer attorneys driving up their rate for services (Vaden, 1994). The overall impact specializing has had in the criminal justice field has been positive because attorneys are able to offer a higher level of services to their clients. Years ago you would think of lawyers more so as general practitioner or family lawyers. They would oversee any legal issues for families from birth until death. “The true general practitioner we may have seen 10 or 15 years ago is kind of an endangered species because of specialization,” said Nicholas E. Fairweather, chair of the State Bar’s General Practice Section Board (DMC-Admin, 2010). With technology advances and changes in criminal activity; it’s a lot for one person to keep up on all the different areas of law and be proficient at representing each of their clients. Lawyers were thought to be qualified in a broad legal field upon being licensed and therefore being specialized was prohibited under ethical standards until 1977 (Munneke, 2009). The U.S. Supreme Court held...

...Industrial/Organizational Psychology Paper (PSY435) Industrial/Organizational Psychology Paper The field of industrial and organizational (I/O) psychology has been studied since the infancy of psychology itself (Spector, 2008). In the beginning, I/O psychology was wholly concerned with the industrial side of the field—which concentrated on the management aspects of business and emphasized human resources—as opposed to the organization side, which is concerned with improving work conditions in the workplace. Yet, as the field has grown over the years it has come to include the full spectrum of industry and organization. Strictly speaking, I/O psychology is defined as, “…an applied field that is concerned with the development and application of scientific principles to the workplace” (Spector, 2008, p. 5). On a practical level, the aim of I/O psychology is to, “…improve the quality of the environment for employees as well as to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of employee behavior in that environment” (Barnes-Holmes et. al., 2006, p. 56).

...Rationale for Competency-Based Supervision Deonae Shackelford Western New Mexico University Rationale for Competency-Based Supervision The subject area of competency-based supervision is not one that I ever considered until I entered into the field work phase of the MSW program. Even upon entering the program I had not considered nor had I an understanding for what the field work portion would entail and the importance of it. My idea was that I would have an opportunity to gain some practical experience to go along with the education and knowledge I am acquiring while in school. How well the person in charge of me is trained or how in-depth their knowledge is about the practice of social work is was not a consideration. Now, that I am in an agency, in particular one where the person in charge of my supervision does not hold a degree of any kind, I have personal experience with the necessity of competency-based supervision when working in the social services field, particularly social work. Analysis of Supervision The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) and the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) have developed Best Practice Standards in Social Work Supervision. The goal of this regulatory board and organization of professional membership task force is to support and strengthen supervision standards for professional social workers. The Best Practice Standards are also to provide a general framework that promotes uniformity and serves as a resource...

...receive care, and the way nurses deliver care. This technology has created new ways to do everything; such as give medications, chart, write out prescriptions, even just answer questions and do the essential nursing assessment. This article explores the wide range that Telenursing can achieve. From an introduction to what Telenursing is, to its ethical and legal considerations, and its use in the critical care settings. Telenursing is a benefit to the delivery of nursing care, and to the profession of nursing itself. With the help of this new technology, nurses are able to reach more patients at the same time, and even reach patients on the other side of the world. Introduction Since the early days of this new technology, the profession of nursing has taken advantage of Telenursing. The early beginnings of Telenursing were through the phone, where nurses were able to answer simple questions and ask questions about the patient’s health. As technology has advanced, so has Telenursing. And now, Telenursing has become a profession of its own, reaching people in all parts of the world, with the help of the Internet and video cameras. With this new practice, nurses are able to assess and help people that may not normally be able to access healthcare, or that are not able to make the trip to the hospital or doctor’s office. It helps nurses get in touch with more patients, and this promotes better nursing practice. Telenursing Definition. Telenursing is the use of telecommunications...
