Abstract The AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides), Fifth Edition, is available and includes numerous changes that will affect both evaluators who and systems that use the AMA Guides. The Fifth Edition is nearly twice the size of its predecessor (613 pages vs 339 pages) and contains three additional chapters (the musculoskeletal system now is split into three chapters and the cardiovascular system into two). Table 1 shows how chapters in the Fifth Edition were reorganized from the Fourth Edition. In addition, each of the chapters is presented in a consistent format, as shown in Table 2. This article and subsequent issues of The Guides Newsletter will examine these changes, and the present discussion focuses on major revisions, particularly those in the first two chapters. (See Table 3 for a summary of the revisions to the musculoskeletal and pain chapters.) Chapter 1, Philosophy, Purpose, and Appropriate Use of the AMA Guides, emphasizes objective assessment necessitating a medical evaluation. Most impairment percentages in the Fifth Edition are unchanged from the Fourth because the majority of ratings currently are accepted, there is limited scientific data to support changes, and ratings should not be changed arbitrarily. Chapter 2, Practical Application of the AMA Guides, describes how to use the AMA Guides for consistent and reliable acquisition, analysis, communication, and utilization of medical information through a single set of standards.

This paper seeks to understand the context in which the debates con­cerning Islamic economics are taking place. The author contends that in the absence of a democratic and free environment the discourses on Islamic economics are suffering from free and open discussions about the true essence of Islam and its implications in the socioeconomic arena. After discussing some of the limits of the discourses on Islamic economics, suc.h as a lack of common terminology and appropriate use of Qur'anic terms, the author advances his understanding of the Qur'anic approach to iman. The author argues that 'aql and hikrrui are the cornerstones of Islam and the two faculties that the Qur'an repeat­edly invokes in order that humanity may understand Islamic laws and principles and fulfill its mandate of Allah's vicegerency. The paper con­cludes that the straight path is essentially a rational approach and invites the discourses on Islamic economics to rely more on 'aql and hikrrui in their contemplation.

Clause Complex

The situation in many composition classes in Singapore is characterized by scaffolding (Vygot-sky, 1962; Bruner, 1985), where students are given explicit guidance, particularly concerning the organizational structure of the essay. With scaffolding, there is a concern that the students will produce similarly-structured essays. How then does one differentiate a good essay from a less well-written one? Using Halliday's clause-complex framework (Halliday and Matthiessen, 2004), our analysis shows that while the better writers display a greater mastery of clause-complex structures, the weaker writers rely heavily on simplex constructions. In addition to scaffolding, we argue that the appropriate use of clause-complex structures should be incorporated as part of the writing lesson.
