Financial Accounting, An International Introduction

There is no single authoritative and generally accepted definition of financial accounting, or of accounting in general. It began as a practical activity in response to perceived needs, and for most of its development it has progressed in the same way, adapting to meet changes in the demands made on it. Where the needs differed in different countries or environments, accounting tended to develo…

Envisioning the National Health Care Quality Report

The quality of health care received by the people of the United States falls far short of what it should be (Advisory Commission on Consumer Protection and Quality in the Health Care Industry, 1998; Chassin and Galvin, 1998). A large body of literature documents serious quality problems. There is a gap (some say a “chasm”) between the health care services that should be provided based on cu…

Gaining Control of Cellular Traffic Accounting by Spurious TCP Retransmission

Packet retransmission is a fundamental TCP mechanism that ensures reliable data transfer between two end nodes. Interestingly, when it comes to cellular data accounting, TCP retransmissins create an important policy issue giving rise to a tension between ISPs accounting for network resource consumption, and users only being aware of the application layer data. Regardless of the policies, we fi…

Enhancing Data Systems to Improve the Quality of Cancer Care

The National Cancer Policy Board (board) concluded in its April 1999 re- port, Ensuring Quality Cancer Care, that based on the best available evidence, some individuals with cancer do not receive care known to be effective for their condition. The magnitude of the problem is not known, but the board believes it is substantial (IOM 1999a). Why do we know so little about the nature and extent of …

We turn in the next sections to the arguments of Milton Friedman, Michael Jensen, Michael Porter, and Oliver Williamson, often cited as opponents of stakeholder theor…

A Review of Technology-Based Approaches for Reading Instruction: Tools for R…

The ability to read is the main foundational skill for all school-based learning. Without it, the chances for academic and occupational success are limited (Lyon, 1997). In fact, the most pressing issue in guaranteeing students equal access to the curriculum is ensuring their ability to read class materials. When children do not learn to read, their general knowledge and writing abilities suffe…

Forgiveness is in the air—public figures making public apologies, movies de- picting loving kindness offered to murderers, and psychotherapy programs promoting forgiveness in individuals as well as in marital couples. It is a gift, an offering, a blessing, a cleansing event. Professionally speaking, within the field of psychology the literature on forgivenesshas arisen with little criticism a…
