AbstractManagement of a pediatric surgical group involves organization, coordination, and direction of human resources in an attempt to achieve the best results in an efficient way. However, true leadership of such group should also involve inspiring it with a purpose. The superior interest of the patients and their families will be better served by achieving excellence at all levels of care, research, teaching, and diffusion of the results. These values are the core of the leader's action and may be difficult to develop in a hospital framework in which the main decisions are not always into his/her hands.This review summarizes a theory on leadership at large and then analyzes in detail the peculiarities that distinguish surgical and pediatric surgical departments from a corporation in an attempt to extend the application of the principles of leadership to these structures.Finally, the steps possibly taken by prospective leaders toward achieving that condition and some tips for the candidates based on the personal experience of the author are advanced.

The Buddha’s Path of Peace sets out the basic instructions for the life-changing way of the Buddha (the so-called “Noble Eightfold Path”) wholly in the context of contemporary and everyday life, personal experience, human relationships, work, environmental concern and the human wish for peace. In this book, the core of the Buddha’s teaching is comprehensively cast in modern models of thought—borrowed from science and philosophy—and informed by contemporary concerns. The reader, who may be completely new to Buddhism, is accompanied along the Path with practical exercises that are fully explained. The Path begins with an introductory overview and then proceeds through Right Speech, Right Acting, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Concentration, Right Mindfulness, Right Understanding and Right Resolve, and concludes with a short chapter on the relevance of the Path to the multiple crises facing the world today. The reader is mentored throughout by practical meditational and contemplative exercises, with tables, diagrams, analogies and stories. Gradually the reader who has followed this handbook with commitment will feel the benefits of growing peacefulness, wisdom and compassion.

AbstractWe investigated the microstructural and magnetic property changes of DyCo, Cu + DyCo, and Al + DyCo diffusion-treated NdFeB sintered magnets. The coercivity of all diffusion treated magnet was increased at 880ºC of 1stpost annealing(PA), by 6.1 kOe in Cu and 7.0 kOe in Al mixed DyCo coated magnets, whereas this increment was found to be relatively low (3.9 kOe) in the magnet coated with DyCo only. The diffusivity and diffusion depth of Dy were increased in those magnets which were treated with Cu or Al mixed DyCo, mainly due to comparatively easy diffusion path provided by Cu and Al because of their solubility with Ndrich grain boundary phase. The formation of Cu/Al-rich grain boundary phase might have enhanced the diffusivity of Dy-atoms. Moreover, relatively a large number of Dy atoms reached into the magnet and mostly segregated at the interface of Nd2Fe14B and grain boundary phases covering Nd2Fe14B grains so that the core-shell type structures were developed. The formation of highly anisotropic (Nd, Dy)2Fe14B phase layer, which acted as the shell in the core-shell type structure so as to prevent the reverse domain movement, was the cause of enhancing the coercivity of diffusion treated NdFeB magnets. Segregation of cobalt in Nd-rich TJP followed by the formation of Co-rich phase was beneficial for the coercivity enhancement, resulting in the stabilization of the metastable c-Nd2O3phase.

Based on the hypothesis that human resources management directly depends on a set of organizational components that are the core for SMEs sustainability, this chapter expands previous findings in the literature. Based on a multiple regression analysis and MMOM (modernization model for organization management) implementation in 246 Colombian SMEs (small and medium enterprises), the authors show that some organizational components explain and generate 64.86% of human resources management best practices.

The Voice

This chapter is designed to review the multiple ways that one can improve one’s capacity to seek or generate self-relevant information (self-knowledge) and ways to promote regular self-awareness and (occasional) self-insight. Self-insight generally implies the level of understanding that exists relative to the nature of one’s self-system (self-definition, needs, goals, attributes), while self-knowledge relates to the accuracy of introspection about these internal states and capacities. These are thought to be at the core of interpersonal competence, a capability absolutely essential in today’s work organization. While the “voice” of the chapter is that aimed at informing the human resources professional or practitioner, the material covered would be useful to individuals who are personally motivated to know more about how they might become more effective interpersonally through efforts at improving self-knowledge and self-insight.

Human resources are the most important part of the hospital. Lamongan Muhammadiyah Hospital makes an organizational culture which called ISTAWA as the foundation of employees in serving patients. This study aims to determine the level of knowledge and understanding of employees to the core value of ISTAWA at Lamongan Muhammadiyah Hospital. This survey conducted from August to November 2016 and involved 84 employees of Lamongan Muhammadiyah Hospital. Research instrument through questionnaire. Data analysis was done descriptively. This study shows that most (67%) of employees do not know the core value of ISTAWA. Information about the value obtained by employees from direct supervisors (76%), regular unit meetings (10%), SDI 7%, and Director (7%). Understanding the meaning to the value of ISTAWA from employees of Lamongan Muhammadiyah Hospital which is the highest lies in the aspect of sincerity. This research recommends that the management of Rumah Sakit Muhammadiyah Lamongan make socialization program and internalization of core value of ISTAWA to all employees so that the value can be an organizational culture that is implemented in every services to patient.

Abstract Aim The advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) provide an opportunity to expand the frontier of medicine to improve diagnosis, efficiency, and management. By extension of being able to perform any task that a human could, a machine that meets the requirements of General AI (AGI) possesses the basic necessities to perform as, or at least qualify to become, a doctor. In this emerging field, this article explores the distinctions between doctors and AGI, and the prerequisites for AGI performing as clinicians. With its imminent arrival, it is beneficial to create a framework from which leading institutions can define specific criteria for AGI. Method A normative framework was derived from medical ethical literature and current medical technology. Comparisons were made between current capabilities and the traits of doctors ('doctorhood'). A framework was created that could fulfil current patient and doctor considerations for the use of AI in medicine. Results This Automation of Doctors and Machines (ADAM) framework is set out across 5 levels. As the level progresses, so do the minimum requirements in the core competencies of knowledge, safety, emotion, and independence. Conclusions The development of AI brings with it an exciting era of modern medicine. In order to fully enhance, expand, and regulate this field, the ADAM framework provides a tool to classify its use in medicine. In being able to categorize forms of medical AI, this allows clinicians, patients, and regulators to delineate different forms of AI, and a foundation is created from which governing bodies can set and standardise levels of care.
