The cost of food involved food consumed whereas labor costs and overhead costs were excluded. Both excluded costs were charged to various department. The value of the cost-of-food-sold shown in the food cost report, can be used as a reference to improve operational efficiency and take corrective actions. The value of the cost of foods consumed can be directly obtained from the inventory card using the First In First Out (FIFO) Method. The FIFO method calculated the actual cost of goods from the value of the goods themselves. In a foodservice industry, control of food supplies was an important activity, because inventory is one of the current assets nonetheless it is perishable. Moreover, inventory related transactions that had huge volume daily recorded unsystematically, can cause trouble with different amount between physical inventory checking and reports. Based on the weaknesses of the recording process, document flow analysis was carried out. Document flow analysis was used as a reference for developing web-based applications. This application was able to handle purchasing, delivery of food items from the purchasing department to the kitchen section, pick up of food ingredients for kitchen/meeting/promotion purposes, physical adjustment of inventory and displaying inventory cards and cost of food report.

Chronic diseases are the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Their prevalence and disruptive potential warrant an understanding of the factors that influence adjustment to chronic illness. Gender and gender-related processes play an important role in psychosocial and physical adjustment to chronic disease. In this chapter, the authors summarize theoretical frameworks relevant to the role of gender in adjustment to chronic illness, with a particular focus on the experience of cancer. Although theoretically guided research is limited, theoretical frameworks suggest promising avenues of inquiry for characterizing the role of gender and adjustment to cancer and the development of associated interventions.

Three studies examined humor and adjustment to stressful events. In Study 1, patients with fibromyalgia syndrome ( N = 22) reported on mental and physical adjustment, social interaction, and reappraisal of their illness. Dispositional humor was associated with reduced distress and fewer physical symptoms. Study 2 ( N = 109) examined undergraduates’ reports of stressful events. Dispositional, self-enhancing, affiliative, and self-defeating humor showed direct effects on distress, which were mediated by social interaction and reappraisal. Moreover, dispositional and aggressive humor showed stress-buffering effects. Study 3 ( N = 105) examined undergraduates’ adjustment to the September 11, 2001, attacks at 1 and 3 months postattack. At T1, affiliative humor showed a stress-buffering effect on distress. Social interaction mediated the relation of self-enhancing humor with reduced T1 distress, and mediated relations of aggressive and self-defeating humor with greater distress. Relations of T1 dispositional and self-defeating humor to changes in T2 distress were mediated by reappraisal.

The phenomenon of infrequent price changes has troubled economists for decades. Intuitively one feels that for most price-setters there exists a range of inaction, i.e., a substantial measure of the states of the world, within which they do not wish to modify prevailing prices. Economists wishing to maintain rationality of price-setters resorted to fixed price adjustment costs as an explanation for price rigidity. This paper proposes an alternative explanation, without recourse to any sort of physical adjustment cost, by putting strategic interaction into the center-stage of the analysis. Price-making is treated as a repeated oligopoly game. The traditional analysis of these games cannot pinpoint any equilibrium as a reasonable “solution” of the strategic situation. Thus, decision-makers have a genuine strategic uncertainty about the strategies of other decision-makers. Hesitation may lead to inaction. To model this situation, the authors follow the style of agent-based models, by modeling firms that change their pricing strategies following an evolutionary algorithm. In addition to reproducing the known negative relationship between price rigidity and the level of general inflation, the model exhibits several features observed in real data. Moreover, most prices fall into the theoretical “range” without explicitly building this property into strategies.

Effective cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) requires an accurate atrio-biventricular pacing system. The innovative Quartet lead is a quadripolar, over-the-wire left ventricular lead with four electrodes and has recently been designed to provide more options and greater control in pacing vector selection. A lead with multiple pacing electrodes is a potential alternative to physical adjustment of the lead and may help to overcome high thresholds and phrenic nerve stimulation (PNS).
