Published: March 2016

Abstract OBJECTIVE To identify opportunistic screening actions for breast cancer performed by nurses working in primary health care units in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo. METHOD Cross-sectional study with 60 nurses from 28 units, who had been working for at least one year in the public municipal health care network. Data were collected between December 2013 and March 2014, by means of a questionnaire, using descriptive analysis and the software IBM SPSS version 20 and Microsoft Excel 2010. RESULTS The results showed that 71.7% of the participants questioned their female patients as for risk factors for breast cancer, mainly during nursing consultation; 70.0% oriented users about the age to perform clinical breast exam, whereas 30.0% did not due to lack of knowledge and time; 60.0% explained about the age to perform mammogram; 73.3% did not refer patients with suspicious breast exam results to the referral department, citing scheduling as the main obstacle to referral. Educational activities were not performed by 78.3% of participants. CONCLUSION Investment is needed in professional training and management of breast cancer screening.

Abstract OBJECTIVE To identify the occurrence of surgical site infection (SSI) and its risk factors in patients undergoing colon surgery in a tertiary hospital located in the countryside of the state of São Paulo. METHOD Retrospective cohort study, with collection of information contained in the medical records of patients undergoing colon surgery in the period between January 2010 and December 2013. The studied variables were the possible risk factors related to the patient, to demographic characteristics and the surgical procedure. RESULTS In total, were evaluated 155 patients with an overall SSI incidence of 16.7%. A statistically significant association was found both in the univariate as in the multivariate analysis between the SSI and the following variables: male gender, Charlson index and mechanical bowel preparation. CONCLUSION The understanding of health professionals about the factors that influence the incidence of SSI in colon surgery may contribute to the quality of care provided to surgical patients, from effective actions to minimize the risk of infections.

Published: March 2016

Abstract OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between handgrip strength (HS) and physical activity in physical frailty elderly. METHOD Cross-sectional quantitative study with a sample of 203 elderly calculated based on the population estimated proportion. Tests were applied to detect cognitive impairment and assessment of physical frailty. Descriptive statistics and multivariate analysis by binary logistic regression were used, and also Student's t-test and Fisher's exact test. RESULTS A total of 99 (64.3%) elderly showed decreased handgrip strength and 90 (58.4%) elderly presented decrease in physical activity levels. There was a statistically significant difference between these two components (p=0.019), in which elderly who have decreased HS have lower levels of physical activity. For low levels of physical activity and decreased HS, there was no evidence of significant difference in the probability of the classification as frail elderly (p<0.001). CONCLUSION The components handgrip strength and physical activity are associated with the frail elderly. The joint presence of low levels of physical activity and decreased handgrip strength leads to a significantly higher probability of the elderly to be categorized as frailty.

RESULTS The total cost of turnover was R$314.605,62, and ranged from R$2.221,42 to R$3.073,23 per employee. The costs of pre-hire totaled R$101.004,60 (32,1%), and the hiring process consumed R$92.743,60 (91.8%) The costs of post-hire totaled R$213.601,02 (67,9%), for the sub process decreased productivity, R$199.982,40 (93.6%). CONCLUSION The study identified the importance of managing the cost of staff turnover and the financial impact of the cost of the employee termination, which represented three times the average salary of the nursing staff.
Aromatherapy and nursing: historical and theoretical conception
Authors: Gnatta Juliana Rizzo , Kurebayashi Leonice Fumiko Sato , Turrini Ruth Natalia Teresa , Silva Maria Júlia Paes da
Published: March 2016

Abstract Aromatherapy is a Practical or Complementary Health Therapy that uses volatile concentrates extracted from plants called essential oils, in order to improve physical, mental and emotional well-being. Aromatherapy has been practiced historically and worldwide by nurses and, as in Brazil is supported by the Federal Nursing Council, it is relevant to discuss this practice in the context of Nursing through Theories of Nursing. This study of theoretical reflection, exploratory and descriptive, aims to discuss the pharmacognosy of essential oils, the historical trajectory of Aromatherapy in Nursing and the conceptions to support Aromatherapy in light of eight Nursing Theorists (Florence Nightingale, Myra Levine, Hildegard Peplau, Martha Rogers, Callista Roy, Wanda Horta, Jean Watson and Katharine Kolcaba), contributing to its inclusion as a nursing care practice.

Authors: Lemos Cassiane de Santana , Peniche Aparecida de Cassia Giani
Published: March 2016

Abstract OBJECTIVE To search for the scientific evidence available on nursing professional actions during the anesthetic procedure. METHOD An integrative review of articles in Portuguese, English and Spanish, indexed in MEDLINE/PubMed, CINAHL, LILACS, National Cochrane, SciELO databases and the VHL portal. RESULTS Seven studies were analyzed, showing nurse anesthetists' work in countries such as the United States and parts of Europe, with the formulation of a plan for anesthesia and patient care regarding the verification of materials and intraoperative controls. The barriers to their performance involved working in conjunction with or supervised by anesthesiologists, the lack of government guidelines and policies for the legal exercise of the profession, and the conflict between nursing and the health system for maintenance of the performance in places with legislation and defined protocols for the specialty. Conclusion Despite the methodological weaknesses found, the studies indicated a wide diversity of nursing work. Furthermore, in countries absent of the specialty, like Brazil, the need to develop guidelines for care during the anesthetic procedure was observed.

Published: March 2016

Abstract Phylogenies within Toxoplasmatinae have been widely investigated with different molecular markers. Here, we studied molecular phylogenies of the Toxoplasmatinae subfamily based on apicoplast and mitochondrial genes. Partial sequences of apicoplast genes coding for caseinolytic protease (clpC) and beta subunit of RNA polymerase (rpoB), and mitochondrial gene coding for cytochrome B (cytB) were analyzed. Laboratory-adapted strains of the closely related parasites Sarcocystis falcatula and Sarcocystis neurona were investigated, along with Neospora caninum, Neospora hughesi, Toxoplasma gondii (strains RH, CTG and PTG), Besnoitia akodoni, Hammondia hammondiand two genetically divergent lineages of Hammondia heydorni. The molecular analysis based on organellar genes did not clearly differentiate between N. caninum and N. hughesi, but the two lineages of H. heydorni were confirmed. Slight differences between the strains of S. falcatula and S. neurona were encountered in all markers. In conclusion, congruent phylogenies were inferred from the three different genes and they might be used for screening undescribed sarcocystid parasites in order to ascertain their phylogenetic relationships with organisms of the family Sarcocystidae. The evolutionary studies based on organelar genes confirm that the genusHammondia is paraphyletic. The primers used for amplification of clpC and rpoB were able to amplify genetic sequences of organisms of the genus Sarcocystisand organisms of the subfamily Toxoplasmatinae as well.
Seepage and pore pressures around contiguous pile retaining walls
Authors: Richards D. J. , Wiggan C. A. , Powrie W.
Published: March 2016

Diaphragm and bored pile retaining walls are often used for the construction of basements, metro station boxes and cut-and-cover tunnels in urban areas. While diaphragm and secant pile walls are generally intended (and assumed in analysis) to be effectively impermeable, contiguous piles may allow through-the-wall seepage even when preventative measures have been undertaken. Provided the flow rates can be tolerated or dealt with, through-the-wall seepage should result in a reduction in pore water pressures behind the retaining wall compared with an impermeable construction, giving the potential for reductions in the depth of embedment and wall thickness, and hence cost. However, this potential is rarely realised owing to the difficulty in quantifying with sufficient confidence the hydraulic regime associated with a leaky retaining wall. This paper reports the results of laboratory investigations and numerical analyses carried out to assess the effect of the inter-pile gaps on the pore pressure distribution around a contiguous pile retaining wall. The results show that the pore pressures behind the piles reduce significantly as the pile spacing is increased. Long-term field monitoring confirms that the pore water pressures are much lower than would be expected for an impermeable retaining wall in similar soil. The applicability of a simple expression linking the pile diameter, pile spacing and the effective permeability of an equivalent uniform wall is demonstrated.
Experimental study of viscoplastic mechanisms in clay under complex loading
Authors: Hicher P. Y.
Published: March 2016

Clayey soils exhibit a very pronounced time-dependent behaviour owing to their viscous properties. To analyse and to quantify these properties, two rounds of tests have been performed on a compacted clay. The first round, consisting of constant-strain-rate compression, stress relaxation and creep, shows that viscous properties are not influenced by different levels of stress and strain. Moreover, the influence of the loading frequency on the viscoelastic modulus is evidenced by the cyclic tests performed at very small strain amplitudes. The results of the second round, consisting of creep and stress-relaxation tests performed at different levels of stress and strain in triaxial loading–unloading–reloading phases and analysed by way of the viscoplastic mechanism terms from Perzyna's over-stress theory, show the existence of a primary yield mechanism activated at the maximum loading point. A kinematic mechanism becomes activated during the unloading and reloading phases, controlling from this moment on the viscoplastic behaviour within the primary yield locus.
Physical modelling of pipe embedment and equalisation in clay
Authors: Meyer V. , Langford T. , White D. J.
Published: March 2016

Pipelines laid on the seabed are subjected to loads that may cause unacceptable displacements. On fine-grained soils, the capacity of a pipeline to resist these loads is affected by the pipe embedment and any excess pore pressures remaining in the surrounding soil from the laying process. This paper presents results from model tests, performed at near to full scale, investigating the embedment response and the subsequent pore pressure equalisation of a pipeline on a high plasticity marine clay. Existing models for the penetration and dissipation processes are compared with the experimental data. Conventional undrained bearing capacity theory, making minor allowances for strain rate and softening effects, shows good agreement with the observed penetration response. Dissipation solutions based on elastic and elasto-plastic soil models capture the general shape of the pore pressure response. The operative coefficient of consolidation varies between tests, spanning the range between the compression and recompression values observed in oedometer tests. The observations validate the theoretical solutions for penetration resistance, and highlight the uncertainty that must be considered in estimating equalisation times.
Enunciar desde nossos lugares, “para que nuestra identidad no se vaya al abismo”
Authors: Bispo Ella , Alves Alcione
Published: March 2016

Este estudo busca compreender a função do grito em processos de construções identitárias de sujeitos femininos afroamericanos. Para tanto, admite-se que examinar a reivindicação da voz em poemas afroamericanos exige, necessariamente, discutir as possibilidades e limites a esta mesma voz. Isso implica, conforme nossa leitura do ensaio Can the subaltern speak?, de Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, discutir possibilidades e limites a uma enunciação desde um lugar feminino afroamericano, enquanto lugar de subalternidade. Assim, apresentamos uma interpretação possível ao poema “África Grita”, de Lucrecia Panchano, integrante da Antología de mujeres poetas afrocolombianas (2010), desenvolvendo-a comparativamente a um corpus da poesia e da ensaística afroamericana. Este estudo tem sido elaborado no âmbito do Projeto de Pesquisa Teseu, o labirinto e seu nome, vigente na Universidade Federal do Piauí.

O cabra e a questão cultural nas metáforas animais
Authors: Cavalcanti Fernanda Carneiro
Published: March 2016

A visão de uma mente corpórea a qual se filia a Teoria da Metáfora Conceptual encontra-se, sobretudo, baseada na ideia de uma mente como resultado da interação entre o programa sensório-motor humano e o meio físico e socioculturalmente situado. Contudo, ao pleitear a existência do que chama de paradoxo da metáfora, Gibbs (2008) identifica uma tensão entre os aspectos universais e variacionais das metáforas. Nessa perspectiva, este artigo busca discutir o papel dos conhecimentos e normas culturais na formação das metáforas animais, especialmente na conceptualização de homem em termos de cabra por parte dos membros da comunidade de Fortaleza-Ceará no Nordeste do Brasil. Para tal fim, o artigo encontra-se organizado em quatro seções, afora a introdução. Discute-se, assim, nas três seções que se seguem à introdução: o modelo cultural da Grande Cadeia do Ser e sua relação com as metáforas animais com base em Kövecses (2010) e Lakoff e Turner (1989); a questão da universalidade nas Metáforas Conceptuais a partir de Kövecses (2005, 2009); a variação cultural das metáforas com ênfase na metáfora animal cabra baseado em Kövecses (2009) e Rodriguez (2009). Na quinta e última seção, são apresentadas as considerações finais nas quais pondera-se sobre a natureza tanto variacional como potencialmente universal da metáfora animal que licencia a expressão linguística cabra. Nessa perspectiva, argumenta-se que tal metáfora tanto mapearia, em nível genérico, os domínios conceptuais ser humano e animal como os domínios homem e cabra motivados por normas e conhecimentos culturais compartilhados entre os membros da cultura cearense.
Expressões metafóricas cotidianas
Authors: Bernardo Sandra Pereira , Velozo Naira De Almeida , Martins Caroline
Published: March 2016

Com base na teoria da metáfora conceptual (LAKOFF (2002[1980], KÖVECSES, 2010b), são analisadas expressões metafóricas ou potencialmente metafóricas encontradas no Banco de Dados Interacionais (RONCARATI, 1996), volume que reúne transcrições de conversas gravadas entre novembro de 1989 e janeiro de 1991, totalizando cerca de 270 horas. Com duração entre 5 e 30 minutos, as 13 conversas que compõem volume foram segmentadas em 9927 unidades entonacionais (CHAFE, 1988; Du Bois et alii, 1992). Entre essas unidades, foram encontradas 82 expressões metafóricas que revelam a subjacência de domínios fonte e alvo amplamente apontados na literatura: PESSOA, EMOÇÃO, OBJETO, CORPO HUMANO, ECONOMIA e ANIMAL. Este estudo corrobora assunções acerca da teoria da metáfora conceptual, em suas manifestações linguísticas originais (ou não), no que tange às especificidades dos seus contextos de conceptualização em discursos reais.

(Re)Imagining Black Boyhood: Toward a Critical Framework for Educational Research
Authors: Dumas Michael J. , Nelson Joseph Derrick
Published: March 2016

Drawing on critical childhood studies, Michael J. Dumas and Joseph Derrick Nelson argue that Black boyhood is socially unimagined and unimaginable, largely due to the devalued position and limited consideration of Black girls and boys within the broader social conception of childhood. In addition, the “crisis” focus of the public discourse on Black males—focused as it is on adult Black men—makes it difficult to authentically see young Black boys as human beings in and of themselves. A critical reimagining of Black boyhood, the authors contend, demands that educators, policy makers, and community advocates pursue pedagogical and policy interventions that create spaces for Black boys to construct and experience robust childhoods. Further, a (re)commitment to critical research on Black boyhood should inspire inquiry that asks young Black boys who they are, what they think, and what they desire in their lives now.

Resíduos históricos como um caso de variação sincrônica no português do Brasil
Authors: Oliveira Marco Antônio De
Published: March 2016

Resumo: Este artigo é uma tentativa de se mostrar como o presente pode ter usado para se explicar o passado. Os dados sincrônicos utilizados aqui se referem à regra variável de concordância entre sujeito e verbo no português coloquial moderno do Brasil. Conforme já foi notado na literatura sobre este problema, algumas classes verbais apresentam uma freqüência maior de neutralização entre a 3ª Pessoa do Plural e a 3ª Pessoa do Singular do que outras classes. Este fenômeno foi explicado tanto em termos do princípio da saliência fônica, quanto em termos de uma interação entre regras fonoõgicas e sintáticas. A questão diacrônica, por outro lado, se refere à origem da terminação verbal -ão na terceira pessoa do plural do Perfeito do Indicativo. Para esta questão podemos encontrar também mais de uma resposta na literatura. Procuro mostrar aqui que a terminação -ão em questão é uma criação analógica, e que a maioria dos casos de neutralização entre a 3a PP e a 3a PS no português coloquial brasileiro é herdada, ou seja, estes casos constituem resíduos históricos refletidos no português de hoje.Abstract: This paper is an attempt to show how the present can be used to explain the past. The synchronic data that I use have to do with the variabte subject-verb agreement rule in Modern Colloquial Brazilian Portuguese. It has been noted in the literature on this question that some verbal classes present a larger frequency of neutralization between 3rd Person Plural and 3rd Person Singular verbal forms than other classes. This has been explained either in terms of the principle oi phonic salience or in terms of an interaction between phonological and syntactic rules. The diachronic question has to do with the origin of the verbal ending -ão in the 3rd Person Plural of the Perfect of the Indicative, for which more than one answer is found in the literature. It is argued here that the verbal ending -ão of the 3rd PP of the Perfect of the indicative is an analogical creation and that most of the cases of neutralization between 3rd PP and 3rd PS in Modern Colloquial Brazilian Portuguese are inherited, i.e., they constitute histonical residues reflected in present day Portuguese.
Concordância verbal, topicalização e posposição de sujeito
Authors: Decat Maria Beatriz Nascimento
Published: March 2016

Resumo: Neste trabalho, pretendo mostrar que o fenômeno da concordância, verbal em português é melhor descrito em termos da relação tópico/comentário. A partir do exame, em dados da língua oral, da interação da regra de CV com as regras de Topicalizaçao e de Posposição de Sujeito, aventei a hipótese de que a ausência de CV em sentenças com SN posposto (tradicionalmente chamado sujeito) se explica pelo fato de essas sentenças serem constituídas só do comentário, desprovidas, portanto, do tópico, que é aqui estabelecido como o controlador da CV. Em conseqüência da ausência do tópico, a falta de CV revela uma tendência à impessoalização nesse tipo de sentenças.Abstract: I intend to demonstrate, in this paper, that Portuguese Subject-Verb Agreement can be better described in terms of the relationship topic/comment. Based on the examination of the interaction between the Subject-Verb Agreement rule, on the one hand, and the rules of Topicalization and Subject Postposing, on the other hand, in colloquial Brazilian Portuguese, I advanced the following hypothesis: the absence of Subject-Verb Agreement in sentences with a postposed NP (which is, traditionally analyzed as the subject of the sentence) can be explained by the fact that in these sentences all we have is comment; i.e., the topic, which we establish as the controller of Subject-Verb Agreament, is lacking. As a consequence of the absence of topic, lack of Subject-Verb Agreement shows a tendency for the impersonalization of this kind of sentences.
Perspectives on the Search for a True Physiologic Replacement Therapy for Hypoparathyroidism
Authors: Winer Karen K ,   NICHD, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, US
Published: March 2016

Over the past two decades, we have studied various parathyroid hormone (PTH) 1-34 regimens, including once-daily and twice-daily injections without the concurrent conventional therapy. We recently studied PTH delivery by insulin pump, which produced normal, steady-state serum and urine calcium levels. The recent approval of PTH 1-84 represents an important milestone in the treatment of hypoparathyroidism. As PTH 1-84 and PTH 1-34 have similar pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic profiles, one can assume that many of the principles learned from studies of PTH 1-34 also apply to PTH 1-84 in the management of this rare disease.
Problems of the establishment of worship houses in Pati, Central Java

This research aimed to know the problems of establishment of worship houses in Pati Central Java. This research used  a qualitative approach with the collecting data interview, observation, and documen review. This research was expected to give information and theoritical study materials for the general public, especially those related to policy on the establishment of worship houses. The results showed that establishment of worship houses is often a clash beetween the formal regulation and social regulation, because of differences in interpretation of legislation. The establishment of worship houses take place smoothly and individual appproach with good. In contrast, the establishment of worship houses are often hampered by resistance citizens of community, but goverment does not give a definite decision “accepted” or “rejected”. This resulted in the establisment of worship houses stagnant and impressed omission.

Hypertensive Black Men’s Perceptions of a Nurse Protocol for Medication Self-Administration
Authors: Thomas Ophelia , Stoeckel Pamella
Published: March 2016

A factor contributing to uncontrolled hypertension in older persons is medication nonadherence. Older Black men in a rural cardiology clinic were not taking blood pressure medication as prescribed resulting in uncontrolled hypertension. A nurse protocol to assist with self-administration of hypertensive medication was proposed to address the problem. This qualitative key informant study identified a purposive sample of 10 hypertensive Black men who were 65–70 years of age and nonadherent in taking their medication. The nurse conducted teaching sessions using the protocol to review evidence-based strategies for improving medication adherence. A follow-up phone call was done after 1 week. Participants were interviewed about their perceptions of taking hypertensive medication. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, and coded for themes using constant comparative analysis. Six themes emerged: Medication Bottle Guides Medication Usage, Confusion about Side Effects, Reasons for Not Taking Medications, New Behavior, Unchanged Behavior, and Discovery of Other Problems.

This study investigates the reasons that influence students career choices in accounting. In order to determine these reasons, a questionnaire survey has been employed. The empirical findings can be divided into two categories. First, students who have a desire to work in accounting field assume that accounting field provides good job opportunities, and the field matches with their abilities and interests. Second, students who have no desire to work in the field of accounting assume that other fields provide wider job opportunities and are less stressful, tiring, and tedious. In addition, the association of the factors that play role in choosing or not choosing a career in accounting field with student performance in accounting course is investigated.

Authors: Parham Abbie Gail , Noland Thomas G. , Kelly Julia Ann
Published: March 2016

Business education is often criticized for its failure to develop lifelong skills. This study examines the opinions of 205 students to determine what skills they deem to be important for their future careers. The study then compares the opinions of accounting students against other business disciplines. The results of the study are mixed for the accounting profession. Many of the skills accounting majors ranked as important for their future were not surprising. However, there was some indication that accounting majors may be suffering from a silo effect and are not able to fully grasp how skills learned in other university courses impact their professional success.
Identifying Ethical Hypernorms For Accounting Educators
Authors: Siegel Philip H. , Mintz Steven , Naser-Tavakolian Mohsen , O'Shaughnessy John
Published: March 2016

Accounting educators have a unique role in academe because students learn about codes of ethics that will guide their actions as professionals. We identify hypernorms related to internal auditing educators that reflect unethical behaviors believed to be universally unacceptable by that community. We then compare the results to a prior survey of accounting educators and identify ethical principles for accounting academics in their roles as teachers and researchers. The results might help to develop a code of ethics for accounting educators to help them serve as role models for students as they prepare to enter the accounting profession.

Whats The Rush? IFRS, The SEC, And The Pressure On Accounting Instructors To Teach Still More Financial Reporting Rules
Authors: Cherry Alan A. , Schwartz Bill N.
Published: March 2016

This paper addresses the problems facing accounting instructors in the U.S. as they struggle with pressure to incorporate IFRS into an already crowded financial accounting curriculum. To help instructors better understand the advantages and disadvantages of financial reporting under IFRS, we provide a critical analysis of arguments that have been made for and against IFRS adoption. This analysis should aid instructors in their design of lectures and assignments related to IFRS. We also show that adoption still faces serious obstacles, including the use of U.S. GAAP in contracts and regulations, the prohibition against the use of LIFO, and the Sarbanes-Oxley requirements for funding of a financial reporting standard-setter. We then provide support for an approach for incorporating IFRS in the financial accounting curriculum that places greater emphasis on teaching concepts than on teaching more rules. We conclude by presenting a model for a concepts course that would be taken by students as they begin the accounting major in their junior year.
Excellence In Business Education (A FRUCE Model For Higher Education CommissionRecognized Business Schools In Pakistan)
Authors: Kolachi Nadir Ali , Mohammad Jan
Published: March 2016

The paper develops a new model of the essential factors required to be a top business school in the world for the benefit of schools recognized by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) in Pakistan. Globally, top business schools are those that excel in research, attract strong faculty, and successfully foster student development. The present research considers these factors in relation to HEC recognition; HECs stringent criteria are disliked by many educational entrepreneurs, for whom the profit motive can sometimes trump the delivery of high-quality programs, resulting in the awarding of spurious degrees.HECs criteria are intended to prevent situations like this, which became increasingly common in Pakistan and reduced educational quality. Under HEC recognition, top business schools and programs can once again be recognized. However, many business schools in Pakistan still have unqualified faculty, poor student development, and little or no research output. The present study shows that business schools in Pakistan can only survive if they explicitly or implicitly follow criteria based on the Faculty, Research, Use of Technology, Corporate Office, and Extracurricular Activities (FRUCE) model presented herein. The main motivation for presenting the FRUCE model is to help Pakistani business schools meet international standards.As context, this research also reports on the slow progress of some universities in achieving adequacy in the areas included in the FRUCE model, including not only the areas mentioned above but also administration/governance and advising. The FRUCE model has the ability to address all these areas.
Enterprise Risk Management In The Oil And Gas Industry: An Analysis Of Selected Fortune 500 Oil And Gas Companies Reaction In 2009 And 2010
Authors: Rogers Violet C. , Ethridge Jack R.
Published: March 2016

In 2009, four of the top ten Fortune 500 companies were classified within the oil and gas industry. Organizations of this size typically have an advanced Enterprise Risk Management system in place to mitigate risk and to achieve their corporations objectives. The companies and the article utilize the Enterprise Risk Management Integrated Framework developed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) as a guide to organize their risk management and reporting. The authors used the framework to analyze reporting years 2009 and 2010 for Fortune 500 oil and gas companies. After gathering and examining information from 2009 and 2010 annual reports, 10-K filings, and proxy statements, the article examines how the selected companies are implementing requirements identified in the previously mentioned publications.Each section examines the companies Enterprise Risk Management system, risk appetite, and any other notable information regarding risk management. One observation was the existence or non-existence of a Chief Risk Officer or other Senior Level Manager in charge of risk management. Other observations included identified risks, such as changes in economic, regulatory, and political environments in the different countries where the corporations do business. Still others identify risks, such as increases in certain costs that exceed natural inflation, volatility and instability of market conditions. Fortune 500 oil and gas companies included in this analysis are ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Baker Hughes, Valero Energy, and Frontier Oil Corporation.An analysis revealed a sophisticated understanding and reporting of many types of risks, including those associated with increasing production capacity. Specific risks identified by companies included start-up timing, operational outages, weather events, regulatory changes, geo-political and cyber security risks, among others. Mitigation efforts included portfolio management and financial strength. There is evidence that companies in later reports (2013) are more comprehensive in their risk management and reports as evidenced by their 10-K and Proxy Statements (Marathon Oil Corporation, 2013).
The Effects Of Financial Education And Networks On Business Students Financial Literacy
Authors: Chung Yunhyung , Park Youngkyun
Published: March 2016

This study investigates the joint effects of financial education and educational networks on students financial literacy. With a sample (N = 105) of senior students in a business college, the study finds that not only financial education, but also strong networks with professors, are positively related to the financial literacy of business students. After controlling for financial education, the results reveal that students educational network strength is positively associated with their financial literacy. On the contrary, students personal networks are not significantly related to their financial literacy. This paper contributes to the literature on financial literacy by showing that individuals financial networks with faculty, as well as financial education, can influence their financial literacy.

The students consider theoretical perspectives from economics, political science, and public administration with respect to the interactions of business and government in the US economy. The students field test the theories via meetings with practitioners in Washington DC and are required to reflect on and then apply how reality does (or does not) map into theory.
The Contributions Of Student Organization Involvement To Students Self-Assessments Of Their Leadership Traits And Relational Behaviors
Authors: Smith Lois J. , Chenoweth John D.
Published: March 2016

Many business schools designate leadership as a learning outcome for their undergraduates, but the question of how to teach leadership is challenging. Results of this study showed that students who were engaged in extracurricular student organizations rated themselves higher on both leadership traits and behaviors than those who were not involved in student organizations. Though faculty may not interact regularly directly with student affairs professionals, this study suggests that students learn holistically and across all their experiences, both inside and outside the classroom. Pairing coursework aimed at improving leadership capabilities with co-curricular organization activities that give students additional opportunities for trying out what they are learning in the classroom could improve intentionality and authenticity in students educational experiences.
