Question And Answer

After reviewing the presentations of the four panelists and the informal question and answer period that followed, the following conclusions would seem to represent the consensus insofar as the panel is concerned: (1) The practice of pediatrics as a specialty would seem to be here to stay—at least insofar as can be presently judged. (2) The term "new" pediatrics is a misnomer in that many pediatricians have been practicing it for many years. Our present interest, then, lies not so much in a "new" or comprehensive pediatrics—but in better ways to accomplish it. (3) Our undergraduate and postgraduate training must be brought up to date in order to better equip the pediatrician of the future for the comprehensive practice of pediatrics as it exists in his community. (4) This does not necessarily mean more time or more formal training but rather better use of all available facilities, including participation in as well as full awareness and understanding of the emotional and social factors in the lives of the "little people" under their care.

Aim: Social scientists have placed particularly high expectations on the study of epigenomics to explain how exposure to adverse social factors like poverty, child maltreatment and racism – particularly early in childhood – might contribute to complex diseases. However, progress has stalled, reflecting many of the same challenges faced in genomics, including overhype, lack of diversity in samples, limited replication and difficulty interpreting significance of findings. Materials & methods: This review focuses on the future of social epigenomics by discussing progress made, ongoing methodological and analytical challenges and suggestions for improvement. Results & conclusion: Recommendations include more diverse sample types, cross-cultural, longitudinal and multi-generational studies. True integration of social and epigenomic data will require increased access to both data types in publicly available databases, enhanced data integration frameworks, and more collaborative efforts between social scientists and geneticists.

This paper assesses how the broadcasting and advertising trade press performed in their role as technology forecaster, using the introduction of the VCR and its potential impact on broadcasting as a case study. An examination of the forecasts made within the broadcasting and advertising trade press during the early stages of the VCR's development and diffusion indicates that the advertising trade press proved much more active and much more accurate in forecasting the future of the VCR. The results also indicate the importance of integrating technological and social factors for constructing accurate forecasts.

The recent months have witnessed an unprecedented disruption in the processes and methods of training post-graduate students.1 The residents who are currently enrolled in post-graduate programs must be equipped with the necessary know-how to become competent specialists in the future. Therefore, the challenges facing these programs in India need to be identified and the necessary remedial measures must be swiftly put in place. In this article, we attempt to identify the most pertinent challenges facing the post-graduate students in community medicine, from their perspective, and also provide individually tailored recommendations to overcome them.

By providing a high degree of freedom to explore information, QA (question and answer) agents in museums are expected to help visitors gain knowledge on a range of exhibits. Since information exploration with a QA agent often involves a series of interactions, proper guidance is required to support users as they find out what they want to know and broaden their knowledge. In this paper, we validate topic recommendation strategies of system-initiative QA agents that suggest multiple topics in different ways to influence users’ information exploration, and to help users proceed to deeper levels in topics on the same subject, to offer them topics on various subjects, or to provide them with selections at random. To examine how different recommendations influence users’ experience, we have conducted a user study with 50 participants which has shown that providing recommendations on various subjects expands their interest on subjects, supports longer conversations, and increases willingness to use QA agents in the future.

Question And Answer

Although Malaysian pilgrims have been making various preparations before pilgrimage either preparation courses as well as printed material, the understanding performance of Malaysian pilgrims in Mecca is still doubtful. This study aims to review the understanding of pilgrimage among the Malaysian pilgrims in Mecca. Questionnaires were distributed to Malaysian pilgrims during pilgrimage season 2012/1433H in Mecca and fifty questionnaires were returned to be analyzed. Descriptive analyses were used to analyze the data. The findings revealed that Malaysian pilgrims are still facing a lot of questions about the pilgrimage pillar and obligatory that was taught while attending the course in their homeland. It was also discovered that they did a lot of mistakes in the implementation of pilgrimage through the question and answer session that was monitored by the Tabung Haji Expert Office in Mecca. It can be concluded that the understanding of Malaysian pilgrims towards pilgrimage implementation has not been on the satisfactory level because they do not get a clear view of the implementation. Therefore, the virtual hajj approach among the pilgrims is the new approach to reach their understanding goal. The findings are important to get an overview of the perceptions of Malaysian pilgrims towards virtual hajj to create the true atmosphere on the implementation of pilgrimage. It is also important to all researchers and pilgrim manager to improve the quality and effectiveness of pilgrimage in the future.

SummaryRecent concerns about the future of psychiatry have led to various calls for action. We argue that an overhaul of postgraduate training in psychiatry is the necessary first step to ensuring a strong future for the profession. Central to these improvements are reaffirming the ideals of psychiatric training, ensuring appropriate prominence of crucial knowledge and skills in the curriculum and providing tailored training placements with an emphasis on excellence. It is imperative that short-term service-provision need does not adversely have an impact on the training that is needed to ensure excellent patient care for the future. We urge the College to continue to work closely with psychiatric trainees to secure their future.
