PERFIL INTRAEMPREENDEDOR E AÇÕES DOS GESTORES DOS CURSOS DE CIÊNCIAS CONTÁBEIS DA REGIÃO OESTE DO PARANÁ

This article aims to identify and analyze the intrapreneurial actions, profile, and characteristics of the administrators for undergraduate courses of Accounting Sciences in the western region of Paraná. Thus, the research question was formulated: What are the intrapreneurial characteristics and the main actions of the Accounting course adminis trators in the western region of Paraná?The method used was descriptive research in the form of a survey and, for data collection, a questionnaire, from Mastella (2005) and Dornelas (2003), adapted by Walter et al. (2007). Among the main results, it was found that the managers are men, mostly over 50 years of age, with the title of specialist or master, and whose principal tie is to the institution in which they operate. It was noted that most of the actions undertaken by the managers have demonstrated an internal bent, a fact that should be the object of reflection, once those actions considered of the greatest import by managers are often the least carried out. Therefore, little time dedicated to management, discrepancies between desired actions and those which are effectively carried out, and too much internal focus behind their actions are aspects which should be improved by the managers who were surveyed. All the respondents show intrapreneurial characteristics. There is a perceptible need for greater clarity in the dialogue between managers and their superiors for a greater alignment relative to the current performance of managers. It is also noted that issues such as reconciliation of teaching / management hours still requires improvement.

Crown and crown–root fractures: an evaluation of the treatment plans for management proposed by 154 specialists in restorative dentistry

Traumatic tooth injuries involve function and aesthetics and cause damage that range from minimal enamel loss to complex fractures involving the pulp tissue and even loss of the tooth crown. Technical knowledge and clinical experience are essential to establish an accurate diagnosis and provide a rational treatment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of Restorative Dentistry specialists about the management of crown and crown-root fractures based on treatment plans proposed by these professionals for these cases. A descriptive questionnaire was mailed to 245 Restorative Dentistry specialists with questions referring to their professional profile and the treatment plans they would propose for the management of crown and crow-root fractures resulting from dental trauma. One hundred and fifty-four questionnaires were returned properly filled. The data were subjected to descriptive statistics and the chi-square test was used to determine the frequency and the level of the significance among the variables. The analysis of data showed that in spite of having a specialist title, all interviewees had great difficulty in planning the treatments. As much as 42.8% of the participants were unable to treat all types of dental trauma. Complicated and uncomplicated crown-root fractures posed the greatest difficulties for the dentists to establish adequate treatment plans because these fractures require multidisciplinary knowledge and approach for a correct case planning and prognosis.

Surgical Education in Brazil

The surgical residency was implemented in Brazil in 1944. Gradually, several programs were created under the auspices of the National Committee of Medical Residency (Comissão Nacional de Residência). A candidate for a residency program is submitted to a selection process in various institutions. One of the greatest obstacles to medical education in Brazil is that the number of graduate students is much larger than the number of available vacancies. As a consequence, they end up looking for other alternatives to their professional training, and these cannot offer the same results as a formal residency. Regarding the current residency program in surgery, Brazil has roughly 200 general surgery programs, which offer 1,040 vacancies yearly. The surgical residency program lasts 2 years with rotation in various surgical specialties, which is a requirement for the following years in specific specialties. The 1,040 who are enrolled in the first 2 years of a residency in surgery take a new examination to continue their training. Here, there are only 573 vacancies; therefore, 45% of the newly trained surgeons start a practice or become apprentices. The 573 residents who move on to further education then pass 2 years in basic general surgery at an institution and continue in the same or are transferred to another department. The next training period should be 2 or 3 years, depending on the specialty. The General Surgery program lasts 4 years: two initial basic years and two more years of training in elective, emergency, and trauma surgery and intensive care. The objective is to become competent in the diagnosis and treatment of the most common diseases that affect the community. Medical entities in specialties have their own selection process to grant the title of specialist. The Brazilian College of Surgeons (Colégio Brasileiro de Cirurgiões) is responsible for granting the title "general surgeon," following the model of the American Board of Surgery.

An investigation of the special practitioner system of pediatric dentistry in Japan

We sent questionnaires to all the members (4,298 people) about the specialist pediatric dentistry system in Japan (Hereafter, termed specialists). The survey (1,129 dentists answered the questionnaire) revealed the following: 1. About 29% of the members who have qualifications for pediatric dentists, authorized by Japanese Society of Pediatric Dentistry (JSPD), hoped for a specialist qualification immediately. 2. Eighty point six percent of the members who do not have qualifications authorizing them as pediatric dentists answered that they wanted to take an examination to become a specialist as soon as they were qualified to take it. 3. Many members hoped that the examination to become a specialist would be strictly carried out. 4. Twenty-two point eight percent members thought that the qualifications for pediatric dentists authorized by Japanese Society of Pediatric Dentistry should be abolished after putting the specialist system into effect. 5. Fourteen percent of those that have the qualification of pediatric dentists, authorized by Japanese Society of Pediatric Dentistry, did not want to acquire the specialist title but they wanted to renew their current qualifications. 6. As dentists got older, the ratio of children patients (under 18 years old) tended to decrease. 7. However, about one-quarter, 112 members (about 10% of all) of dentists who are 50–69 years old (347 members) it occupied 34.7% of all treated exceeded 90% children patients.

Internal medicine residency training in Turkey

Medical school entrance depends on passing a central examination that is given annually by the National Selection and Placement Center. Undergraduate medical education takes 6 years. About 5000 students graduate from medical faculties annually. The central exam necessary for residency training is given by the National Selection and Placement Center. A Specialist Training Regulation regulates residency training. Internal medicine residency training takes 4 years and includes inpatient and outpatient care in wards and rotations. Residents prepare a dissertation that is used in the evaluation of residency competency. At the end of the residency period, residents who have been successful in previous evaluations take an oral exam followed by a written exam, which lead to their certification in internal medicine. Residents' scientific knowledge and skills are assessed by a jury consisting of five people, four from the same department and one from the equivalent department in another training institution. The title of specialist is granted after a certification exam given by training institutions and approved by the Ministry of Health. Internists are mainly employed in state hospitals, which are under the Ministry of Health. Subspecialty areas in internal medicine include gastroenterology, geriatrics, endocrinology, nephrology, hematology, rheumatology, immunology, allergology, and oncology. The training period for a subspecialty is 2 years. A substantial effort is being made all over the country to improve regulations and health care service delivery. These changes will also affect the residency training and manpower planning and employment of internists.

The sprawling thicket: Knowledge and specialisation in forensic social work

This exploratory study uses a post-modern framework to investigate and map aspects of the (re)emerging occupational area of forensic social work, broadly defined as practice, which in any manner may be related to legal issues and litigation, both criminal and civil. The study is the result of each author asking questions about the nature of our professional experience in the field and then testing our thoughts against those of other social workers in the field. Our aim was to initiate discussion about the nature of forensic social work and to question whether our work called upon skills and knowledge that differed from those of social workers in other (specialised) fields. We used a cooperative inquiry method and significant themes and issues were raised with agreement for much of the discussion. The most lively dialogue centred upon the benefit or disadvantage of specialisation, with tensions evident around the perceived elitism some participants attached to the specialist title. The initial investigation raised several issues for further investigation.

Development of a new masters program for occupational physicians in Flanders

Background: discussions with occupational physicians and a postal survey identified the shortcomings of previous programs, mainly found in the fields of occupational hygiene, ergonomics, environmental health and management. Objectives of the new program: basic knowledge (see content), the development of problem solving skills, scientific and social attitudes. Content: first year: occupational health practice, occupational hygiene, epidemiology, work physiology, toxicokinetics and dynamics and in service training (4 weeks). Second year: occupational pathology, environmental health, ergonomics, social legislation, safety, management and in service training (4 weeks). The total study load is estimated at about 1600 hours per year. Methods: interactivity is stimulated by the introduction of interdisciplinary seminars, project work in groups and Socratic dialogue. The objectives, contents and teaching and student-evaluation methods of the separate items were defined before selecting teachers. Finality of the program: a masters title sufficient to practice occupational medicine in Belgium. A subsequent postacademic training of 2 years, while at work, will be required for the title of specialist in occupational medicine, valid at European Union (EU) level. It will include preparing and publically defending a thesis. Statement: The collaboration of ex-students working in the field is essential in the development and quality assessment of adequate teaching programs.

How uniform are post-graduate training programs in medical oncology in the European Union?

Medical oncology is a relatively new discipline whose rapid evolution is not paralleled by advances in the academic curricula. The present study was designed to provide a description of the status of post-graduate training programs in medical oncology in the European Union. Our survey shows that 'some form' of training in medical oncology is available in 10 countries of the European Union, but that there are officially recognized Schools of Specialization in this discipline in only four (Great Britain, Portugal, Republic of Ireland and Spain). Italy and France offer training programs in medical oncology as specific tracks of the School of Specialization in Oncology. A 'special competence' in medical oncology, within the specialty of internal medicine, is issued in 3 additional countries (Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands). Finally, training in medical oncology is linked to that in haematology in Germany. A wide variation was found among the different European countries regarding the requirements for admission to these training programs. Similarly, the duration of the programs in the various schools ranges between 2 and 6 years and the total number of years from graduation to achievement of the title of specialist ranges from 4 to 9 years. Our survey discloses a broad heterogeneity of academic attitude regarding medical oncology in the European Union and points to the need for recognition of this discipline as a specific and essential specialization.

Influence of Specialist Title On Perceived Surgical Ability

ML Kreidstein, HG Thomson, PC Neligan. Influence of specialist title on perceived surgical ability. Can J Plast Surg 1994;2(4):149-154. This study was conducted to test the hypothesis that patients associate specialist titles with superior surgical ability, and that operative results are viewed more favorably if believed to be the handiwork of a specialist. Subjects (n=130) were randomly selected from among patients at a medical walk-in clinic. All subjects were presented with an identical set of ‘before and after’ photographs depicting six unrelated facial operations. However, each set of photographs was attributed at random to one of the following surgeons: plastic surgeon, plastic surgery resident, aesthetic plastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon, ear nose and throat/ head and neck surgeon, cosmetic surgeon. Subjects completed a questionnaire evaluating the quality of the result from each operation, and then for each operation indicated which of the above surgeons was likely to achieve the best operative result. The attribution of identical operative results to the different surgeons resulted in evaluations that were not statistically different (P>0.05). Cosmetic surgeons were chosen most frequently as the type of surgeon likely to perform the best quality rhytidectomy or rhinoplasty, and facial plastic surgeons were chosen most frequently as best for repairs of facial lacerations or removal of skin tumours on the face (P<0.00l). Plastic surgeons and ear nose and throat surgeons received intermediate ratings, and aesthetic plastic surgeons and plastic surgery residents received low ratings. As hypothesized, specialist titles were associated with superior surgical ability, with cosmetic surgeons thought to provide the best cosmetic procedures, and facial plastic surgeons thought to provide the best reconstructive procedures. Despite this bias, evaluations of the operative results were not influenced by the type of surgeon credited with the operation, refuting the hypothesis of a placebo-type effect.

The specialisation of oral surgery in general practice.

Much has been written recently on the subject of introducing a specialist title in oral surgery and the establishment of specialist oral surgery practices. The aim of my elective was to conduct a literature review, interview general practitioners involved in oral surgery, and examine the feasibility of undertaking oral surgery in a specialist practice.
