Accounting Policies

Lack of adequate documentation is one of the largest pitfalls facing any accounting system. One of four excuses is usually given: (1) nobody reads it, (2) the hands-on approach in which each person teaches another is a better method, (3) written policies and procedures are too confining, and (4) nobody has the time to write documentation. In a constantly changing accounting world, none of these…

Effectiveness of National Biosurveillance Systems

In 2001, the United States experienced the effects of bioterrorism when envelopes containing anthrax spores were sent through the postal service to several different recipients, including two U.S. senators. It is likely that several thousand people were exposed to anthrax, with antibiotic prophylaxis widely prescribed for those whose exposure was known or suspected. The consequences of this eve…

There is currently a crisis in cancer care that experts predict will worsen in the near future due to a rapidly growing population of Americans requiring cancer care combined with an aging/retiring oncology workforce, and inadequate numbers of replacement workers.

Advanced Accounting

The first several chapters of this text present the accounting and re- porting for investment activities of businesses. The focus is on investments when one firm possesses either significant influence or control over another through ownership of voting shares.

Sexual Offending Against Children

The most compelling reason for finding ways of successfully treating people who commit sexual offences against children is one of child protection. Programmes to change the behaviour of offenders may have a beneficial effect on the individuals involved and enable them to rejoin society or to be reunited with their families. But for the majority of workers engaged in managing programmes, in…

Race, Ethnicity, and Language Data

The goal of eliminating disparities in health care in the United States remains elusive. The findings of the National Healthcare Disparities Report reveal that even as quality improves on specific measures, disparities often persist (AHRQ, 2008a, 2008b). Addressing these disparities must begin with the fundamental step of bringing the nature of the disparities and the groups at risk for those d…

THE LITTLE CLIMATE FINANCE BOOK

The majority of mitigation potential lies in developing countries: Of the 17 billion tonnes of emissions reductions required in 2020, 70% is achievable in developing countries (Project Catalyst, 2009)2. Given the limited ability of developing countries to finance domestic mitigation, this will therefore require large scale financing from developed countries to allow developing countries to mee…

The Value of Genetic and Genomic Technologies

Patients Charting the Course

The prosperity of a nation is tied fundamentally to the health and well-being of its citizens. It follows, then, that citizens—each one a past, current, or future patient—should represent both the healthcare system’s unwavering focus, and its fully engaged agents for change. This precept has several major implications. It means that the quality of health care should not be judged solely b…

This is a book forged from storms and tempests. Roughly one year after the publication of The Psychology of Trading, I left the pro- tected world of academic medicine to tackle the rough-and-tumble world of proprietary trading in Chicago. Gone were orderly therapy ses- sions in my Syracuse office. Now my day started at 4:05 A.M. and proceeded into evenings: a steady blur of tracking overseas ma…
