As a country member, Thailand needs to prepare for the upcoming AEC. One way to look at how the country has prepared for this is to look at the ESP programs offered in universities, both public and private, especially ESP programs in preparation for the eight careers: engineering, hospitality & tourism, architecture, dentistry, medical practices, accounting, surveying, nursing. This study therefore explores the AEC careers offered in public and private universities. This was a descriptive study. The international programs under study fell into two levels: Bachelor (335 programs) and Master (436 programs). The results of descriptive analysis revealed these findings. On the eight AEC careers, three most popular programs offered in Thailand included hospitality & tourism, engineering and accounting respectively. On the other hand, no land surveying programs are offered at both levels; no dentistry programs at Bachelor level; no medical practice is offered at Master level. For policy implication, Thailand should offer these programs in the future.

The objective of the article was to investigate the contributions of the information platforms of the branches of governments of Brazilian states to build passive transparency. A descriptive study was carried out, through documentary research, with a predominantly qualitative approach. The object of investigation comprises the executive, legislative and judicial branches of governments of Brazilian states. The data were collected in February 2017 using the structured observation technique, through a protocol for recording information. The data obtained were analyzed using the descriptive analysis technique. The indicators for evaluation of the platforms were ‘communication’, ‘login and receipts’ and ‘barriers’, and they presented different configurations in each of the branches. In terms of ‘communication’ and ‘login and receipts’, in general, the state executive branch received better scores compared to the judiciary and legislative branches. On the other hand, the indicator ‘barriers’, was better evaluated in the judiciary and legislative branches. From the results obtained, it is not yet possible to confirm whether the platforms of the executive, judicial and legislative branches of the Brazilian states contribute to build passive transparency.

The use of AI in medicine was significantly developed in some countries. Indonesia as a modern country also has a great change in promoting the use of AI. The study aims to propose on designing the legislation for the use of AI in Indonesian medical practices. The method used in this research is normative juridical approaches with descriptive analysis. The data used are primary legal material namely the Indonesian Penal Code and Law No. 36 of 2009 on Health Law. Meanwhile, the secondary legal material used are books, journals, and other legal documents. The results show that designing the new legislation as the guidance and basis for the use of AI shall give a good impact on the development of health services as practices among other countries. Moreover, Health Act 2009 clearly supported the use of advance technology’s product in medicine. Yet, the application of AI facilitates interpretation follows with high accuracy and speed for medical diagnoses.

Literature Reviews

The term ‘Islamic medicine’ is controversial. Some denied modern medicine as Islamic practice as its origin from the Western. They believe Islamic medical practices follow the Prophetic Medicine (‘Al-Tibb al-nabawī’) which is the advice and practices of the Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) regarding sickness and treatment. This review is to enlighten practitioners regarding the concept of Islamic medicine and the view of modern medicine from the Islamic perspective.These literature reviews were carried out by collecting evidence from books, reports and the electronic databases (Google Scholars, Medline, PUBMED and EBSCOhost). According to the majority of Islamic and medicine scholars, the concept of Islamic medicine does not contradict the concept of modern medicine.  The major differences was the basic paradigms, concept values and procedure conform to the Quran, Sunnah and tawhid to Allah.  Islamic medicine is universal, flexible, and allows for growth and development. There is misconception the term Islamic Medical practice came from the Arabic civilization from the time of the Prophet (pbuh). Modern medicine on the other hand was a journey of knowledge by all civilizations including Ancient Egyptian, Greek and Medieval Islamic during the legacy of Prophet Muhammad pbuh. Further steps are needed to abolish misconceptions in Islamic medicine and to instil awareness among Muslim patients seeking medical treatment. Science and knowledge from ancient civilization, along with research in the modern day setting gives rise to modern medicine. Understanding the origin of modern medicine will deliberately highlight parts of the Islamic way of practicing medicine.

The Relationship

This book focuses on the relationship between private and public education in a comparative context. The contributors emphasize the relationship between private choices and public policy as they affect the division of labor between public and private non-profit schools, colleges, and universities. Their essays examine the kinds of choices offered by each sector, as well as the effects of present and proposed public policies on the intersectoral division of labor. Written from neither a pro-private nor a pro-public point of view, the contributors point to the ways in which they believe one sector or the other may be preferable for certain goals or groups.

Positive Law

This chapter examines how fiduciary principles apply to public offices, focusing on what it means for officeholders to comport themselves to their respective public roles appropriately. Public law institutions can operate in accordance with fiduciary norms even when they are enforced differently from the remedial mechanisms available in private fiduciary law. In the public sector, fiduciary norms are difficult to enforce directly and the fiduciary norms of public office do not overlap completely with the positive law governing public officials. Nevertheless, core fiduciary principles are at the heart of public officeholding, and public officers need to fulfill their fiduciary role obligations. This chapter first considers three areas of U.S. public law whose fiduciary character reinforces the tenet that public office is a public trust: the U.S. Constitution’s “Emoluments Clauses,” administrative law, and the law of judging. It then explores the fiduciary character of public law by looking at the deeper normative structure of public officeholding, placing emphasis on how public officeholders are constrained by the principles of loyalty, care, deliberation, conscientiousness, and robustness. It also compares the policy implications of the fiduciary view of officeholding with those of Dennis Thompson’s view before concluding with an explanation of how the application of fiduciary principles might differ between public and private law settings and how public institutions might be designed or reformed in light of fiduciary norms.

Much has been written of William Duncan, "the Apostle of Alaska", who came to the coast of northern British Columbia in 1857 as a missionary to the Tsimshian Indians. Although he deplored it, in the course of his sixty years' residence in this area controversy raged around him as a result of his clashes with church and state, and his work has been the subject of numerous investigations, both public and private. His enemies have called him a tyrant and a ruthless exploiter of the Indians under his control; and there are men still living who find a disproportionate amount of evil in the good that he did, especially during the declining years of his long life. On the other hand, he has had ardent and articulate supporters who have written numerous articles and no less than three books in praise of his self-sacrificing ideals and the soundness of his program for civilizing the Indian.

SYNOPSIS We provide a comprehensive analysis of special items and the characteristics of the firms that recognize them. Our analysis reveals that the temporal frequency, magnitude, and persistence of special items has increased significantly in the last 30 years, and that such increases are primarily driven by negative special items. More recently, however, our evidence is consistent with both a decline in frequency and magnitude of negative special items. On the other hand, we find that the frequency of reporting of positive special items, which remained relatively constant through 2002, has increased in more recent years. We also find strong evidence that subsequent special item reporting is an increasing function of the frequency of “prior” special item reporting. Using a random subsample of firms reporting special items, we document that 22 percent of the amounts reported in Compustat do not reconcile with the amounts reported on the firms' actual financial statements. Our comprehensive analysis should be of interest to regulators, academics, and managers interested in the implications of special items on firm-related consequences such as future earnings and firm value. Our examination can also serve as a catalyst for researchers interested in extending this important area of inquiry.
