253 Make Yourself Really Good at Your Career

In the 1970’s when I started my career, there were no women working in the feedlots with the cattle. Being a woman at this time was a much bigger obstacle than my awkward social skills due to autism. I created my own internships at Arizona feedlots and the Swift Tolleson plant. I handled cattle along with the feedlot processing crews. There was a nice man who ran a contract processing crew who taught me how to move cattle. The worst treatment I received came from cowboy foremen who were the cattle managers for the entire feedlot. The feedlot owners and the more senior bosses were usually helpful. I made myself highly knowledgeable in the specialized area of the design of cattle handling facilities. At this time there were few people in this field. I learned to sell my work by showing people my detailed drawings and photos of completed projects. Another skill I had was writing, and it really helped my career. After I completed a project, I wrote about it in both local and national livestock publications.

The use of English initialisms and abbreviations in the field of pharmaceutical business communication in Spanish

The present paper deals with the use of English initialisms and abbreviations in the professional field of pharmaceutical business communication in Spanish. This specialized area has not yet been previously examined, and the use of initialisms and abbreviations is becoming more and more extended. The corpus consisted in an up-to-date list of thirty-seven shortened forms, which was extracted from a digital magazine addressed to pharmacists. In order to document the use of the initialisms, acronyms and abbreviations examined in Spanish, a combined analysis was carried out: firstly, the above mentioned list of initialisms and acronyms from the online magazine www.correofarmaceutico.com provided evidence about their use in written language; and secondly, the twenty-one pharmacists who answered our questionnaire provided data about practitioners’ familiarity with and the actual usage of these lexical items.

Conceptual relationships and their methodological representation in a dictionary of the terminological uses of lexical semantics

For several years, a research project focused on the study of terminological uses of lexical semantics has been developed. From this investigation, specifically, in the terminographical praxis of a dictionary of the terminological uses of lexical semantics, we are observing considerably more conceptual content than could be expected, as this is a lexicon of the technical uses of lexical semantics, rather than one of technicisms. This means that, starting from explanatory sub-indices, it is necessary to create as many terminological documents as there are different acceptions for each lexicographical entry. In this article, besides presenting the methodological procedure used for our explanatory model of terminological representation, as well as the terminological graphic interface, we will focus on the study of the conceptual relations existing in this specialized area. These will appear in a terminographic interface through nodes showing the type of relationship existing among terminological uses. Our main aim is to prove, by means of the analysis of a series of terminological units, how the different conceptual relationships constitute a relevant rule for linguistic behaviour in the identification and establishment of the various uses and sub-uses corresponding to each terminographical entry.

The Cloud Gets Personal

Cloud computing, at its most fundamental level, is a technology that allows computing to occur as an on-demand utility. Personalized medicine is revolutionizing the field of medicine, and aims to provide individualized treatment for patients, based on their genetic material and medical history, through comparisons to genetic material from thousands of other patients. Better patient outcomes are expected in a personalized medicine domain as compared to more generic generalized options. In this paper the authors explore the use of cloud computing in the area of personalized medicine examining unique benefits and opportunities. They also recognize and discuss the presence of some inherent risks. Using the cloud for personalized medicine can expedite collaborations and data collection across different clinicians, researchers and other stakeholders involved in the fight against diseases. This paper examines key elements associated with using cloud computing in the specialized area of personalized medicine.

“Application of Menu pricing and Food costs theories within a new restaurant setup- A Case study on modern restaurants in Jaipur City”.

Food & Beverage Controls, technique and processes and their correct application plays a major role in the success of Food & Beverage Business. Be it a normal application of Standard recipe card or the much complex process of Menu engineering and Menu Pricing Techniques. This case study is focused on the use and application of the Food cost and Menu pricing theories in day to day operation of a running restaurant. Costing being a specialized area and needs subject expertise may result in limited use practically. The Study tries to explore the views of the upcoming Restaurant entrepreneurs and makes a modest attempt to study the use of various Cost control theories in practical operations. Though most of the theories were found to be in use some way or the other, still awareness needs to be created on the benefits of following the Food & Beverage Control techniques.

On the Absence of Eco-phenomenology in Poland

The paper aims to identify and explain the absence of eco-phenomenological perspective in Polish philosophy. Eco-phenomenology, which emerged as the specialized area of phenomenological movement in the 1980s, explores relations between human beings and nature. The lack of it in Poland, as the paper argues, is not only due to the specific political situation, but primarily because of the great impact of Jozef Tischner’s “philosophy of drama,” which has strongly anthropocentric implications.

Disruption, Globalization and the Changing Context of Education

Education is the process of facilitating learning, acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs and habits. It is expected to prepare students for facing challenges of life. And higher education in particular is the process of molding oneself to be suitable for a career in specialized area of interest. It is clear that education offered should depend on the individuals undergoing education and the need posed by the world. Both the “individuals’ and the “need” are changing with time and hence the process of education also should be changing with time, else it will become outdated and useless. All educators need to be up-to-date and to keep pace with the changing world and the increasing demand. This is a challenging task.

Subplacental development in Galea spixii

ABSTRACT: Animal models are essential to understand healthy human placentation. Guinea pig related rodents became on focus for such purposes. In particular, processes of trophoblast invasion are similar. The latter is associated with a specialized area, the subplacenta. Since previous results showed differences between the guinea pig and its close relative Galea spixii, we aimed to study subplacental development with more detail. We investigated 16 pregnant females of 14 to 55 days of gestation by means of histology, morphometrics, immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy. The overlap between the fetomaternal blood systems resulted as intimate, suggesting some exchange processes. Proliferation was revealed by three independent methods, being most active in early and mid-gestation, which was in accordance to former results. Though degeneration of tissues took place, the subplacenta was maintained towards term with access to the fetal vascularization, supporting a hypothesis about the release of substances to the fetal unit in advanced gestation. In contrast to other species, the extraplacental trophoblast showed a shift from syncytial streamers to giant cells during mid-gestation. Views on placentation in caviomorphs were influenced by the guinea pig, but our data supported recent studies that the subplacenta had a much greater placidity. In regard to subplacental grow, degeneration and likely also exchange processes, Galea and other species showed a more basal pattern of caviomorphs than the guinea pig. Such differences should be considered, when choosing most adequate animal models for special purposes in comparison to human placentation.

Introduction

Scholarly communication may seem, quite reasonably, like a narrow and specialized area of inquiry, one that most people neither need nor probably want to know very much about. So perhaps we should begin this book with what might be the most obvious question of all:...
