AbstractIn this analysis of the future of our profession, Barbara Tearle starts by looking at the past to see how much the world of legal information has evolved and changed. She considers the nature of the profession today and then identifies key factors which she believes will be of importance in the future, including the impact of globalisation; the potential changes to the legal profession; technology; developments in legal education; increasing commercialisation and changes to the law itself.

Abstract BACKGROUND Medical specialty camps have provided children with unique psychosocial experiences; however, dedicated pediatric brain tumor camps are rare in the United States, except in limited locations. This study aimed to glean caregiver perceptions from a dedicated family brain tumor camp, and to learn about the family experience with navigating a neuro-oncology diagnosis. DESIGN: Flying Horse Farms is a non-profit organization located in Mt. Gilead, Ohio and a member of the SeriousFun Children’s Network, a global community of camps and programs serving children with serious illnesses and their families, at no cost. The institutional review board at Ohio University approved this project at Flying Horse Farms in September 2017. Consent from caregivers was obtained prior to participation in the study, which provided the opportunity to complete three separate phases: a pre-camp survey, attend a semi-structured interview during the weekend, and complete a post-camp survey. RESULTS 11 families were present for the weekend, and 10 families consented to participate in all three phases. For 6 families, this was their first experience at Flying Horse Farms. For 9 of the 10 families, the camp met their expectations. Additionally, 9 out of 10 families reported they would be interested in attending a diagnosis specific camp again in the future. CONCLUSIONS This work demonstrates the feasibility of conducting research at a medical specialty camp without restricting the camp experience. Better understanding of the attendee’s attitudes toward camp may enhance the experience and the neuro-oncology journey in the future.

As the new millennium begins, we find intercollegiate sport in Canadian universities at a crossroads. Although the Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union (CIAU), the governing body for university sport in Canada, has a history of recurring issues and challenges, further change is imminent. This paper provides the perspective of two Canadian intercollegiate athletic administrators and sport management academicians on the future of intercollegiate sport in Canada by focusing on five major areas of concern: (a) diversity, (b) governance, (c) funding of athletics, (d) the role and value of athletics, and (e) the changing environmental context of the university. The authors conclude that university sport in Canada will remain embedded within the non-profit, amateur fabric of the Canadian sporting milieu characterized by a participant rather than spectator focus, men's sport domination, decreased funding sources, and pressures to justify its role and value within a rapidly changing environment. The diversity evident throughout the CIAU will continue to have a compelling impact on the organization.

THE FORMATION OF THE PROFESSIONAL AT PRESENT-DAY ENTREPRENEURIAL TENDENCIES. ECOLOGICAL AND SOCIOAMBIENTAL MARKETINGRESUMENLas exigencias de los nuevos mercados al cumplimiento de los requerimientos sociales y medioambientales, ha impulsado el desarrollo y concreción de ciencias asociadas al campo del marketing no lucrativo. En tal sentido se puede mencionar el marketing ecológico, cuyo enfoque es la comercialización de productos de forma respetuosa con el medio ambiente. En una incursión más reciente aparece el marketing socioambiental que incide en “la modificación de los comportamientos que afectan de forma negativa a los recursos naturales del planeta”. (MIER-TERÁN, 2006). Ambas tendencias no solo son importantes para la conservación de nuestros recursos futuros sino para que la actividad comercial del presente sea sostenible. Se impone entonces crear en los profesionales del futuro una mentalidad consecuente con esta necesidad desde su formación de pregrado como parte de la educación ambiental. Es por ello que se pretende en la investigación apoyar, con la propuesta de la incorporación del marketing ecológico y socioambiental, a la formación integral de los estudiantes universitarios. Como resultado, los elementos teóricos que se ofrecen pueden ser utilizados como material de apoyo para la realización de investigaciones similares. Del mismo modo pueden servir para enriquecer el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje en la universidad cubana actual. Los métodos y técnicas utilizados, nacen desde el marketing ecológico y el socioambiental como instrumento tanto para la creación e implementación de campañas orientadas a modificar y promover comportamientos pro-ambientales como a contribuir desde la planificación y gestión empresarial a una economía sostenible.PALABRAS CLAVE: marketing ecológico; marketing socioambiental; formación integral; estudiantes universitariosABSTRACTThe new requirements of markets to the fulfilment of social requests and environmental, it has impulsed the development and concretion of sciences correlated to non-profit marketing's.

SYNOPSIS: This commentary provides an overview of the case currently before the U.S. Supreme Court that alleges constitutional problems with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). The PCAOB, a Board designed to oversee auditing for publicly traded firms, was created by Congress when it passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (hereafter, SOX). To enhance PCAOB’s independence from political pressures, Congress established it as a private-sector, non-profit organization, and gave oversight powers to the Securities and Exchange Commission (hereafter, SEC), an independent agency. The plaintiffs in this case allege that Congress empowered the PCAOB with broad executive powers, yet limited the President’s ability to appoint Board members (thus violating the appointments clause of the Constitution) and to control and/or remove Board members (thus violating the separation of powers doctrine of the Constitution). The Supreme Court’s decision about the constitutionality of the PCAOB is important because of its potential impact on (1) the future of auditing oversight; (2) the validity of SOX; and (3) the future of independent agencies in general. From a policy point of view, the case highlights the importance of the combination of independence and accountability for auditing and accounting standard setting and practice.
