Examination Process

The Final Examination for Fellowship of the Faculty of Anaesthetists, Royal Australasian College of Surgeons has been functioning since 1956. A description of its development and an analysis carried out on the examinations in 1969 and 1970 are contained in the paper by Fisk et al. 1 Since that time the examination process has been continually monitored and refined, although the basic structure has remained much the same for the last twenty years. This report presents an analysis and interpretation of data for 1025 candidates who presented themselves for the examinations from May 1980 until October 1987. Recent development within the Faculty is described to indicate the influence these events have had upon the training and examination of candidates for the Fellowship, and statistical data is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the examination process. Recommendations include possible directions that could be taken to enhance both the training and examination of candidates for the Fellowship examination in the future.

Appraisal Processes

During the fall 2015 semester, I (i.e., the last author of this response) taught a doctoral seminar on performance appraisal. Although this course was a general survey of research and theory regarding work performance and performance appraisal processes and methods, we also talked extensively about the value of performance ratings to organizations, raters, and ratees. It was indeed serendipitous that this focal article came out when it did. As part of the final examination requirements (and, admittedly, as a pedagogical experiment), I asked the six PhD students in this course (i.e., the first six authors of this response) to read and respond to the Adler et al. (2016) debate regarding the relative merits of performance ratings. To highlight the perspectives of this next generation of industrial and organizational psychologists, I have collected here various representative comments offered by each of these emerging scholars on this issue.

Royal Australasian College

Fifty-nine of the 70 Fellows of the Faculty of Anaesthetists who had passed the Final Examination in Intensive Care including that of October 1989, responded to a questionnaire on the pattern of their intensive care and anaesthetic practice and their perception of the training and examination. Responses came predominantly from Fellows who had passed the examination more than two years previously. Forty-eight (81%) were practising intensive care at least 50% of the time and 51% had become Director or Deputy Director of an Intensive Care Unit. However, 51% maintained some anaesthetic practice. Although individuals had changed the intensive care/anaesthetic distribution of their practice, the group overall had not. With one exception all Fellows were practising in public hospitals but 26% in private hospitals also. Only eight had sought intensive care as their first vocational qualification. Training and examination were generally regarded favourably except for training in research methods and experience in internal medicine. The results suggest that the intensive care specialist is not likely to leave such practice in the long term, but there has been a reluctance to abandon altogether training and some subsequent practice in anaesthetics.

Design Case

Most appearance and structure design has always been based on the product processing technology as the spindle, in general; sheet metal design changes in the appearance of the structure is based mainly on the basic structure of products and processing technology as the main core, and the appearance of manufacturing more Mechanical sheet metal, so most designers will use different design procedures to draw 3D graphics in the assembly or disassembly of parts, but different drawing procedures will affect the future assembly and disassembly of the design. In this study, we will compare two different models by building a model program using two different sheet metal structure drawings to present the problems that may be encountered in sheet metal design through a specific design flow. Through a real 3D drawing and design case, 3D graphics design flow, and finally through a design case to do a verification, to provide a reference for the future design.

The Future

The properties of gluon jets are reviewed from an experimental point of view. The measured characteristics are compared to theoretical expectations. Although neither data nor models for the gluon jets are in the mature stage, there are remarkable agreements and also intriguing disagreements between experiment and theory. Since much interesting data have begun to emerge from various experiments and the properties of gluon jets are deeply rooted in the basic structure of non-Abelian gauge theory, the study of gluon jets casts further light on our understanding of QCD. Finally, the future prospects are discussed.

This paper examines the correlation between strong wind and the frequency of small leisure craft grounding by analysing the available data on maritime accidents in the Adriatic. The primary goal of this study was to verify the hypothesis from prior research that strong wind is the prime cause of groundings in certain areas of the Adriatic. Contrary to the conclusions of the prior research, the new analysis indicates a far more uniform spatial distribution of wind-caused grounding accidents across all the examined areas of Croatian Adriatic waters. Furthermore, the analysis indicates that most grounding accidents occur in light wind conditions, suggesting that groundings can predominantly be attributed to factors other than strong wind. Several important drawbacks of the analysis stemming from the lack of accurate data on accidents in Croatian waters are discussed and suggestions given for the improved collection thereof that would greatly contribute to the future research on this topic. The inability to determine the exact causes of particular accidents from available data makes it impossible to accurately establish the number of grounding accidents caused by strong wind. In the future, more detailed statistical data could improve our understanding of the correlation between adverse weather conditions and recreational vessel accidents in the Adriatic.
