Abstract

Sponsored by the Committee on the Employment of Civil Engineers of the Committee on Professional Practice of ASCE. Guide to Hiring and Retaining Great Civil Engineers is a guide to finding and keeping the best civil engineers. The need for civil engineers has outstripped supply, and it has become increasingly difficult for firms to retain civil engineers—particularly the best ones—and recruit additional civil engineers to meet staffing needs. Written by civil engineers with many years of experience in both the public and private sectors and by human resource practitioners, this Manual provides the pragmatic focus of civil engineering practitioners as well as valuable contributions from specialists in the human resources field. This manual will help engineering firms to improve their hiring practices and to keep the good engineers they already have. Topics include: Retaining Key Civil Engineers; Recruiting; Compensation and Benefits; and Developing Your Team: Managerial Keys to Helping Junior Staff Advance Their Careers. An appendix discusses Career Path: Moving Up the Career Ladder.

Abstract

This book presents an overview of innovative initiatives to combat the nursing shortage that are being pioneered in a number of states, schools of nursing, and health care institutions. Among the strategies described are preceptor and mentoring arrangements, scholarship/work payback agreements, private and public funding initiatives to support the education of future nurses, and service/education partnership models. An international perspective is added by a chapter on initiatives in a hospital in Iceland.

Abstract

Since the publication of the third edition of Geriatric Medicine,extraordinary advances have occurred in the science of aging and the potential for biomedical research to give us answers to many, if not most, of the age-related disorders that threaten the quality of life in older years. At the most basic level, the successful mapping of the human genome was declared complete in the fall of 2000. Understanding the map of the human genome is as important as understanding the map of genomes of important laboratory species, ranging from the microscopic worms and fruit?ies used in most classic genetic studies to rodents such as laboratory mice, and eventually to primates, on which much of the research on the aging human brain is done. The genetic maps of all of these species,including our own,does not answer clinical questions,but it does open the door to dramatic, rapid, and ef?cient answers to questions about the genetic polymorphisms related to diseases in humans. The telomerase story also unfolded since the third edition. Telomerase is an enzyme responsible for maintaining the telomeres—the redundant DNA portions at the end of chromosomes—whose shortening seems to be linked directly to cell senescence,ap- tosis,and the control over cell death,which,at the level of the individual cell,seems to be linked to the decline of organ function and eventually aging and death within the org- ism.

Abstract

Outlines an approach to ensure the protection of participants through the establishment of effective Human Research Participant Protection Programs (HRPPP). Topics covered in this book include improved research review processes, recognition and integration of research participants contributions to the system, and vigilant maintenance of HRPPP performance. When 18-year-old Jesse Gelsinger died in a gene transfer study at the University of Pennsylvania, the national spotlight focused on the procedures used to ensure research participants safety and their capacity to safeguard the well-being of those who volunteer for research studies. "Responsible Research" outlines a three-pronged approach to ensure the protection of every participant through the establishment of effective Human Research Participant Protection Programs (HRPPPs). The approach includes: improved research review processes; recognition and integration of research participants contributions to the system, and vigilant maintenance of HRPPP performance. Issues addressed in the book include the need for in-depth, complimentary reviews of science, ethics, and conflict of interest reviews; desired qualifications for investigators and reviewers; the process of informed consent; federal and institutional oversight; and the role of accreditation. Recommendations for areas of key interest include suggestions for legislative approaches, compensation for research-related injury, and the refocusing of the mission of institutional review boards. "Responsible Research" will be important to anyone interested in the issues that are relevant to the practice of using human subjects as research participants, but especially so to policy makers, research administrators, investigators, and research sponsors but also including volunteers who may agree to serve as research participants.
