Service Introduction

This article traces the development of the New Zealand jury system. Most noteworthy in thisdevelopment has been the lack of controversy the system has created. At the end of the nineteenth century, however, the pursuit of equality in the legal system generally led to debate and reform of juries in relation to representation, race and gender.

The article describes the notion of teacher’s emotional labor, which is an important and often neglected subject in didactics and pedeutology. The thesis is that the manner in which a teacher's emotional labor is being conceptualized affects test method and interpretation. The article presents three different manners in which emotional labor may be conceptualized: (1) emotional labor as process of emotion regulation (psychological approach); (2) emotional labor as a work requirement (sociological approach); (3) emotional labor as a transformation and development tool/as a byproductive labor (critical approach). Each approach is assigned to a different methodological perspective which may be used by educational researchers: (1) quantitative research; (2) qualitative research; (3) “new'' qualitative studies.

Standards Of Practice

This chapter introduces a design process for developing useful information communication technologies for the human services. Key to the success of the design process is an in-depth knowledge and understanding of user needs and requirements. The stages involved in the design process are presented in this chapter and include: user and task analysis, persona and scenario development and the establishment of measurable usability goals. A case study illustrates the application of this design process to develop a Web enabled electronic work requirement awareness program (e-WRAP) for people recovering from mental illness seeking employment. The challenge for social workers is to use these new technologies to improve service provision and enhance quality of life without compromising ethical standards of practice; particularly in relation to client confidentiality, privacy and self-determination.

This chapter presents VoIP as a disruptive technology to GSM technology as well as the issues, controversies, and problems surrounding its deployment. It gives a general introduction of the evolution of communication systems from the POTS, to GSM, and now VoIP. Several issues that surround the deployment of VoIP such as provision of PSTN equivalent services by VoIP service providers, regulation of the service, introduction of latency and other counter measures by some operators, threat posed to PSTN providers due to emergence of VoIP, the need for technical standardization of VoIP, security issues, different cost structure, and quality of service provided were also discussed in details. Solutions and recommendations were suggested to overcome the challenges outlined. VoIP is presented as the way of the future for communication. When this finally happens depends on how fast the challenges outlined in this chapter are addressed. Future and emerging research trends in the deployment of VoIP such as locating users in a secure and reliable way, monitoring VoIP networks, as well as intrusion detection and prevention on SIP were also considered, after which, conclusion was made. This chapter is both informative and interesting.

Retirement Study

Abstract We have designed and implemented an experimental module in the 2014 Health and Retirement Study to measure older persons' willingness to defer claiming of Social Security benefits. Under the current system’ status quo where delaying claiming boosts eventual benefits, we show that 46% of the respondents would delay claiming and work longer. If respondents were instead offered an actuarially fair lump sum payment instead of higher lifelong benefits, about 56% indicate they would delay claiming. Without a work requirement, the average amount needed to induce delayed claiming is only $60,400, while when part-time work is stipulated, the amount is slightly higher, $66,700. This small difference implies a low utility value of leisure foregone, of under 20% of average household income.

The Impact

Abstract Background Older patients undergoing emergency laparotomy (EmLap) have high levels of mortality and morbidity. The National Emergency Laparotomy Audit (NELA) in the United Kingdom records processes and outcome measures for patients undergoing EmLap. Recent data shows that geriatrician review is associated with reduced post-surgical mortality (Oliver C.M. et al., British Journal of Anaesthesia 2018). Geriatrician review of all patients aged ≥70 years is a NELA standard. However, the most recent national report shows only 23% compliance, falling short of the target of 80% and consistently the poorest performing standard. Methods In August 2018, we established a dedicated gastrointestinal surgery liaison service to replace ad hoc geriatrician reviews. We evaluated the impact on NELA standard compliance and patient outcomes. Data were extracted from the local NELA database on all patients aged ≥70 years, for the first six months of the service (September to February). These were compared to the same time period in the preceding year prior to service launch. Results Following service introduction, increased numbers of patients aged ≥70 years underwent EmLap: 50 (2018-9) vs 31 (2017-8). Geriatrician review occurred in 86% (n=43) in 2018-9, compared to 16% (n=5) in 2017-8. Inpatient mortality fell from 23% (n=7) in 2017-8 to 14% (n=7) in 2018-9. Discharge to own home rose to 76% (n=38) in 2018-9 from 68% (n=21) in 2017-8. One patient in each cohort was newly discharged to a nursing home. Mean length of stay was 17.9 days in 2018-9 (range 3-75), versus 17.6 in 2017-8 (range 3-94). Conclusion Introduction of a dedicated geriatric surgical liaison service is associated with increased compliance with NELA standards. Despite more emergency laparotomies being performed on older patients, this was associated with improved mortality and rates of home discharge, consistent with published data. Targeted investment in surgical liaison services may therefore be warranted.
