..., . Journal Article Review Giles Sieburg Liberty University Article Review Summary The article that is to be reviewed is Critical Incidents in Practicum Supervision: Supervisee's Perspectives (Trepal, Bailie, & Leeth, 2010). This article must be understood in the context of what practicum experiences provide to those who are required by curriculum to attend. The article sets out to identify any quantifiable evidence about the factors of practicums that are helpful, and crucial for students to experience during that time. This study wants to isolate the positive qualities of practicums so that an informed student can take full advantage of this exposure to their career choice. Although the practicum is a unique exposure for a student and one can gain invaluable experience this article wants to focus on the impact that one's supervisor plays in the benefit of the practicum. Trepal et al. (2010) identifies that “extant research examining perceptions of the effects of supervision on development as counselors is scant” (p.29). Therefore this articles' impact seems crucial to the understanding how best to develop counselors in training. The authors seem to want to prove the hypothesis that good supervision is need for the maximum development of counselors. The article also spends time explaining and putting emphasis on critical incident technique as necessary part of the practicum experience that the supervisor is to provide. These incidents...

...Journal Article Critique According to Bamberger, D. (2010)," bacterial meningitis in the United States remains a medical emergency with a prospective for high morbidity and death even though the annual incidences are declining. With the increased use of conjugate vaccines, the yearly occurrence of bacterial meningitis in the United States dropped from 1.9 to 1.5 cases per 100,000 people between 1998 and 2003, with overall death rate of 15.6%". The age, immunosuppression and neurosurgical procedures add to the like hood of infection from specific pathogens. In people with community-acquired meningitis, aseptic meningitis is a lot more frequent than bacterial meningitis. At least 96% of children with cerebrospinal fluid exocytosis have aseptic meningitis. In adults, the incidence of aseptic meningitis is 7.6 cases per 1000,000 people and most common etiologies are enterovirus, HSV, and varicella-zooster virus infections (Bamberger, 2010). According to Bamberger, D. (2010), "in adults with community-acquires bacterial meningitis, 25% have recent otitis or sinusitis, 12% have pneumonia, and 16 % are immunocompromised". Fever, neck stiffness and altered mental statues are present in 99% to 100% of patients with meningitis. Of the patients that have meningococcal meningitis 63 % of them have a rash that is petechial. Pneumococcal meningitis is more likely than meningococcal meningitis to be associated with seizures, focal neurologic findings, and altered consciousness...

...The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available at www.emeraldinsight.com/1755-4217.htm Managing bilingual employees: communication strategies for hospitality managers Mary Dawson, Juan M. Madera and Jack A. Neal C.N. Hilton College, University of Houston, Houston, Texas, USA Abstract Purpose – One out of four foodservice employees speaks a foreign language at home. Furthermore, 37 percent of those employees speak limited English. Given this, hospitality managers must find ways to effectively communicate with their employees. This paper seeks to address these issues. Design/methodology/approach – The methodology employed a perspective-taking manipulation. Participants were placed in the role of an individual that does not speak the native language that is used in the workplace. Groups were measured on performance, quality, and accuracy. Groups were video-taped to measure frequency of non-verbal behaviors. Participants were surveyed to measure their levels of positivity. Findings – The results of this study identified effective non-verbal communication strategies for managers (combination of gestures, demonstrating, and pointing). When the leader used these strategies, the groups were able to complete the recipes faster. Managers who spoke another language expressed a more positive behavior towards the group. The group also expressed more positive behaviors towards each other when they had a second language leader. Research limitations/implications – A...

(San Francisco: Sa^e Publications, 1989). Anthony A. Atkinson 955 University of Waterloo Thomas H. Johnson and Robert S. Kaplan, Relevance Lost: The Rise and Fall of Management (Boston, MA: Harvard Business School ftess, 1987) pp. 269. Given the reaction that this book has caused in the management accounting milieu, it seems destined to play an important role in the direction that teaching and research may adopt in the near future. In fact, the accounting literature is already witnessing an increasing number of articles regarding the lack of relevance of management accounting systems (MAS) in the decision making process of the firm. The book of Johnson and Kaplan (J&K) is implicitly divided into three parts. Part I—^The Rise of Management Accounting, chapters 2 through 5, provides an interesting overview of the evolution of management accounting in the United States from the 1880s through the 1920s. According to the authors, MAS were developing and adapting to management's needs, providing relevant, accurate, and timely information. Part II—The Fall of Management Accounting, chapters 6 through 9, analyses and explains the loss of relevance of MAS. Unlike some historians, J&K assert that this was not due to the fact that financial accounting unduly influenced managerial accounting, but to the prohibitive costs of...

THEO 510 LUO (Fall 2013) Survey of Theology Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary Jermaine L. Andrews (ID# 26089173) August 31, 2013 Table of Contents Introduction 1 Brief Summary 1 Critical Interaction 2 Conclusion 3 End Notes 4 Bibliography 5 Introduction M. Eugene Boring is Professor Emeritus of New Testament at Brite Divinity School. In this article, his target audience is the Christian community and his goal is to discuss Matthew’s Christology as theocentric, presenting God’s manifested presence in the life of Jesus. Boring goes on to show how Matthew’s Christology is expressed in a narrative of three stories. He says that this can be appreciated and appropriated better in the context of narratives in which contemporary interpreters are embedded.1 He does not subscribe to a particular story, but believes that the ecclesiology, eschatology, and ethics of Jesus are intertwined. They cannot be separated or summarized. For that reason, we are introduced to and come to know Jesus as Emmanuel, God-with-us. Brief Summary Boring begins this article by talking about Jesus and how he was sent by God as the promised Messiah. He mentions how Matthew uses three stories that bridges the gap between interpreters’...

...An Empirical Analysis of Trends in Psychology By Richard W. Robbins, Samuel D. Gosling and Kenneth H. Craik Tanya McKinley (student) AU ID 3049260 PSYC 290 Journal Article Critique 1 I. Research Question or Problem The question is clearly stated. The purpose of Robbins’ et al study was to focus on trends in the prominence of four influential and widely recognized schools within psychology: psychoanalysis, behaviorism, cognitive psychology and neuroscience (Robbins, 1999, pp. 1172). II. Introduction The introduction gives us an overview of three indexes of prominence the authors used to compare and determine which of the four schools are currently prominent and what specific trends can be identified over the past several decades (Robbins, 1999, pp. 118). III. Methods Four articles were chosen as flagship publications. The psychINFO data base was used to measure the proportion of articles relevant to each school that appeared in the flagship publications. Keyword searches were used to retrieve all articles containing a specified word stems to identify articles within a behaviorist school (as cited by Robbins, 1999, pp. 118). IV. Results The results are clearly stated. Data was gathered and graphs were used to plot the percentage of articles associated with the keywords that represent each school (Robbins, 1999, pp. 121-126). V. Discussion/Conclusions The conclusion was discussed (Robbins, 1999, pp. 127-128). Suggestions for practical implications were...

...Journal Article Review Chamberlain College of Nursing NR 305 RN Health Assessment Journal Article Review Introduction “A guide to taking a patient’s history” was written by Hilary Lloyd and Stephen Craig. The article was published in the December 5, 2007 issue of Nursing Standard. The article discusses the process of taking a patient history, preparing the environment, communication, and the importance of order. Summary of Article The patient history is an important part of the patient assessment that nurses conduct. The article provides steps on how to take a full and detailed patient history. The first step before obtaining a patient history is obtaining consent from the patient. The patient must be able to provide consent if they are able to act on their own free will and are able to understand what they have agreed to. The next step is preparing the environment. Preparing the environment includes: ensuring that the environment is safe for both the patient and the nurse, maintaining privacy, protecting patient confidentiality, and allowing enough time to complete the assessment. Communication is the next step. During this step, the nurse introduces themselves to the patient. Using active listening and allowing the patient to tell their story is very important during this step. Use of technical terms should be avoided. Questioning should begin with open-ended questions. Examples include: “Tell me about your health problems” or “How does the affect you”...

...Brittany Thomas Principles of Management Dr. Garrison 14 February 2016 Journal Article One In this article, the author talks about accounting firms going green. Some firms are doing this by going paperless. On the other hand, some firms are reluctant to go green. The article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of becoming a paperless office. The author is doing this discussion because he wants to help his readers have a better understanding of how and why more and more accounting firms are deciding to go green. Going green was first seen as a way of reducing negative effects on the environment. During a recession, it is viewed as a way to stay competitive. Some examples of going green are: going paperless, using reusable water bottles, carpooling, and/or “rewarding employees for participating in green activities”. There are many advantages to going green. By doing this, the company will have better efficiency and productivity, which they can benefit from with the cost savings. The savings will favor both the employee and the firm. It will make them more competitive and profitable. Another advantage is that the quality of service will be better because of the use of technology. Customers like for their visits to be quick and easy. By using less paper, they can get everything they need in just a short amount of time, which will make them happy. By utilizing technology, the firm will be seen as technologically advanced which appeals the younger generations. Going paperless...

...Journal Article Review #2 Felicia Sauls Jones Chamberlain College of Nursing NUR 305 Health Assessment Wendy Swope, Instructor Fall B 2010 Introduction ‘Sexuality and the Chronically Ill Older Adult’ is an article published in Sexuality and Disability, March, 2000 issue, written by Verna C. Pangman and Marilyn Seguire. In this article, the authors provide an awareness of how sexuality, as it relates with the chronically ill older adult, is not adequately addressed by the healthcare professional. This article promotes awareness, dispels myths and provides an overview of recommended approaches to addressing the sexual needs of this population. Summary of Article Sexuality, though described as one of the most natural and basic aspects of life that affects an individual’s identity as a human being (Pangan & Seguire,2007), has developed very devaluing reactions from society. Addressing sexuality for this population is often neglected. It is unfortunate because sexuality is a very natural instinct that doesn’t go away just because you grow old or develop a chronic illness. Sexuality and growing old have been coupled together in a myth that presents the perception that one cancels out the other and this is so far from the truth. This perception leads to the misconception of the importance of sexuality to the elderly while making it difficult for the elderly to hold onto the value of sexuality as a part of their normal lives. The article continues on to describe...

...first article that I have chosen to review is The Problem of Pornography: Why it’s wrong and how to help by Heath Lambert. Heath is the assistant professor of Biblical Counseling at Boyce College in Louisville Kentucky. His article starts by shining light on the depth of the depravity pornography has across all walks of life. He specifically states that pornography is a bigger issue or battle than homosexuality and adultery together. He then spends a great deal of time breaking down what is wrong with pornography from a mental, physical, relational, and spiritual aspect. He does spend time pointing the reader to scripture since his main focus is the issue in the church as well as the world as a whole. He outlines seven specific issues with pornography; lust, promiscuity, a craving for anonymity in sexual relationships, shorten relationships, shallow relationships that are free of entanglements, a desire for youth (which can lead to child porn), and the ease of passive sexual fulfillment. The second part of the article spends some time talking though how to help those struggling with pornography overcome their addiction. The author points the reader to Jesus and His finished work on the cross. He reiterates that we are free from sin and alive in Christ. The old has gone and the new has come. He also points to Paul and his call to obedience in ones walk. The author does a great job focusing on the cross and the need for Jesus and the death of our flesh. This article will be...
