Methylisothiazolinone in a designer spectacle frame - a surprising finding

In this paper, we expanded on the psychological contract theory by exploring the mental schemas of graduates’ anticipatory psychological contract before they start employment. With this research, we aimed to explore and substantiate themes associated with the mental schemas of graduates, so that the psychological contract formation theory can be expanded by investigating the role of entitlement disconnect and its influence on the anticipatory psychological contract. Literature regarding the formulation of the psychological contract is still underdeveloped, especially regarding the anticipatory phase thereof. Entitlement disconnect has also not been focused on in past literature, especially as a component of the anticipatory psychological contract that can have an impact on graduates’ career schema and voluntary turnover intention. A qualitative approach to research was adopted consisting of interviews with 18 final-year economics and management sciences graduate students in the final phase of their degrees to derive themes associated with the mental schemas of graduates’ anticipatory psychological contract. The findings suggest that graduates already have a developed mental schema that was based on their entitlement. It was also confirmed that graduates had a disposition towards voluntary turnover intuition before organisational entry, which was due to an entitlement disconnect perception. The final and most surprising finding was that some graduates already displayed pre-employment violations, where graduates already anticipated psychological contract breach before entering an employment relationship. This research suggests that graduates’ mental schemas in their anticipatory psychological contract play a much bigger role in the development of their psychological contract, after organisational entry than what was initially thought.

Surprising Finding

This chapter will start with a discussion of three different pieces of research concerning surveillance. The first study looks at the perception of surveillance by some of those people who supervise and implement it; namely, information systems or information technology professionals. The next study investigates students’ perception of surveillance in their university, while the last one is an in-depth study of two organisations with regard to surveillance. The combining factor of these three studies is that the subjects do not necessarily see surveillance as problematic. Given this surprising finding, this chapter will recount the arguments for and against surveillance as found in the literature. This will lead to a discussion of the reasons why individuals often do not seem to mind surveillance, despite good evidence that it may be psychologically, morally, socially, and even economically harmful. The chapter will end with a discussion of what these findings can mean for people interested in surveillance.

Surprising Finding

In this case, a 35-year-old male is brought to a community hospital emergency department by ambulance having suffered an apparent seizure in the street. He is well known to the nurses and physician who see him. He has had several visits for seizures, and he has a history of depression. He has had electroencephalography studies and a computed tomography scan of his head in the past and has had assessments by both neurology and psychiatry. While he is in the department, he has an atypical seizure. There is a consensus among the ED staff that his seizures may be factitious. After a period of observation, he is discharged. Approximately 6 months later, the physician hears that the patient has died and tracks down his autopsy report, which had a surprising finding.

Surprising Finding

Objective: In this Scoping study, the purpose is to examine and describe what the research literature reports on the use of professional conversation as a tool for helping people with cancer cope with the psychosocial situation. The cancer patient may experience several side effects and symptoms related to treatment and illness, and may have a need for more support through professional conversation.Methods: Scoping study with searches in the following databases: PubMed, Cinahl, Psyclfo, Academic Search premier, Cochrane and Ovid.Results: Twenty-nine studies were examined in the initial search, and twenty-four of them were included. Six examined the cancer patient's needs for conversation, thirteen nurses’ qualifications, and five whether conversation provides support. One factor that clearly emerges from the findings of several of the studies is that many nurses experience communication barriers in their encounters with cancer patients.Conclusions: The findings indicated a strong need for conversation. One surprising finding was the communication barriers experienced by nurses/health care professionals.
