...Draft of Intern’s Project Penetrating Abdominal Injuries at Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC). Investigator: Hemraj Ramcharran Supervisors: Dr Shilendra Rajkumar Dr Madan Rambaran Abstract Many cases of penetrating abdominal injuries present to the Georgetown Public Hospital all of which are managed by the department of Surgery. No audit has been conducted on the management of these injuries and their success rates. Hence this prospective study “Penetrating abdominal Injuries at Georgetown Public Hospital (GPHC)” seeks to shed some light in these areas in terms of percentage of abdominal injuries managed surgically or conservatively and diagnostic adjuncts used in the management of these patients. Studies done in other countries clearly show that there is a steady and progressive movement away from surgical management of penetrating abdominal wounds towards conservative management. The study is a prospective one that will extend over the period (April 01 – Sept 31). The study population will consist of persons over 12 years old and admitted for penetrating abdominal injury. Data will be collected by means of a form shown in appendix 2. This form has three parts which are biodata, immediate management and subsequent management. These forms will be in the accident and emergency room and the surgical wards. On admission of the patient, the on call surgical GMO or Intern will fill out the...

...ISSUES IN ACCOUNTING EDUCATION Vol. 25, No. 2 2010 pp. 227–244 American Accounting Association DOI: 10.2308/iace.2010.25.2.227 What It Means to be an Accounting Professor: A Concise Career Guide for Doctoral Students in Accounting Brooke Beyer, Don Herrmann, Gary K. Meek, and Eric T. Rapley ABSTRACT: The purpose of this paper is to provide a concise career guide for current and potential doctoral students in accounting and, in the process, help them gain a greater awareness of what it means to be an accounting professor. The guide can also be used by accounting faculty in doctoral programs as a starting point in mentoring their doctoral students. We begin with foundational guidance to help doctoral students better understand the “big picture” surrounding the academic accounting environment. We then provide specific research guidance and publishing guidance to help improve the probability of publication success. Actions are suggested that doctoral students and new faculty can take to help jump-start their academic careers. We finish with guidance regarding some important acronyms of special interest to doctoral students in accounting. Keywords: career guidance; doctoral students; research; publishing. INTRODUCTION igher education faces a severe, and growing, shortage of accounting professors. As a result, the job prospects for new accounting doctoral graduates are very good and are getting better. Starting salaries are increasing, but so are the requirements...

...Neeraj’s USMLE Step-2 CS Notes The Perfect “Encounter”: A Strategic Approach to Communication & Interpersonal skills The encounter in a USMLE CS examination is between a non-physician medical educator (SP: Standardized Patient) and an examinee, who may be a medical student or a physician. SPs are defined as "a simulated or real patient who has been taught to present a problem so accurately that the simulation cannot be detected by a skilled clinician.” (1) These SPs will seem like real patients to you and should be treated as such during the USMLE examination. With this in mind, it is important to remember that good communication and interpersonal skills are a top concern for every patient. If you have a pleasing personality, patiently hear all of their dilemmas and concerns, and have good communication skills, it will surely create and maintain long lasting and conducive relationships with your patients. Before we talk about strategies to delineate an ideal and perfect encounter with a SP, we should know a few facts about the examination. First, what is the purpose of the examination? It is very interesting that this examination is structured to test your clinical skill proficiency and not the diagnosis that you arrive at. Three components of the report score: One must pass all three components in a single test administration. These three components are as follows: ICE (Integrated Clinical Encounter): assess data gathering and data sharing ability...

...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In the 21st century, entrepreneurship becomes a new trend. Many universities and colleges offer entrepreneurship as a major. Due to government’s incentives, self-employment rate among the Malaysian undergraduates has gradually increased over the years. This study intends to examine the entrepreneurial intention among Malaysian undergraduates. Based on previous study, 99.9 percent of all businesses in the United States are small businesses, with three‐fourths representing the self‐employed, self-employed has become leading components of our economy (2006). Entrepreneurs would also be considered as job creators since they need to hire employees working for their businesses. Young undergraduate could choose self-employment as their occupation due to financially affluent background. By using the advantage of lax security and tax system for self-employed, undergraduate could decide to open their own illegitimate business or to earn more profit by avoiding tax charge. In this research, we study the scope of undergraduate students who run their own business. The main aspects that will be examined is how they run their business, what motivates them to do so, how they cope with balance of studies and business through interviewing. This study draws its concepts and findings primarily from interviews with 7 purposive respondents who are currently self-employed full time students. Based on the results of the study, the family background is quite influential...

Hence, the relevant conceptual, theoretical, and empirical work is reviewed, drawing upon correlational, experimental, and qualitative findings. A meta-analysis of procrastination’s possible causes and effects, based on 691 correlations, reveals that neuroticism, rebelliousness, and sensation seeking show only a weak connection. Strong and consistent predictors of procrastination were task aversiveness, task delay, selfefficacy, and impulsiveness, as well as conscientiousness and its facets of self-control, distractibility, organization, and achievement motivation. These effects prove consistent with temporal motivation theory, an integrative hybrid of expectancy theory and hyperbolic discounting. Continued research into procrastination should not be delayed, especially because its prevalence appears to be growing. Keywords: procrastination, irrational delay, pathological decision making, meta-analysis Procrastination is extremely prevalent. Although virtually all of us have at least dallied with dallying, some have made it a way of life. Estimates indicate...

Each sentence is labelled with a letter. Choose the most logical order of sentence from among the four given choices to construct a coherent paragraph. 1. A. In rejecting the functionalism in positivist organization theory, either wholly or partially, there is often a move towards a political model of organization theory. B. Thus the analysis would shift to the power resources possessed by different groups in the organization and the way they use these resources in actual power plays to shape the organizational structure. C. At the extreme, in one set of writings, the growth of administrators in the organization is held to be completely unrelated to the work to be done and to be caused totally by the political pursuit of self- interest. D. The political model holds that individual interests are pursued in organizational life through the exercise of power and influence. 1. ADBC 2. CBAD 3. DBCA 4. ABDC 2. A.
