The advances in cancer research with medical treatments and early detection practices have improved the survival of cancer patients as they are living longer and the rate of cancer survivors are increasing steadily. Cancer survivors may experience residual side effects from cancer or its treatment. These side effects may be disabling acutely or long-term causing physical and psychological effects that can negatively affect quality of life. There is a need for extended follow-up care for cancer survivors beyond solely just receiving treatment for cancer. Nurses and nurse practitioners can make a huge impact on the quality of life for cancer survivors by providing education, symptom management, promoting healthy lifestyles, preventative care, emotional support, and cancer surveillance. Research has shown that knowledge and competence in cancer survivorship care exist. The purpose of this project was to examine oncology nurses and nurse practitioner’s self-perception of competence in cancer survivorship care. A survey questionnaire “Caring for patients living with and beyond cancer competency tool” was administered to nurses and nurse practitioners at the outpatient oncology institute. The survey measured self-perception of competence in the areas of clinical practice, symptom management, care coordination, and proactive management. Twenty-nine participants (n=29), twenty-five nurses and four nurse practitioners completed the survey. Results indicated self-perception of knowledge deficits in certain areas of cancer survivorship care. The findings support the need for continuing education and training to give nurses and nurse practitioners the knowledge and skills to care for a growing population of cancer survivors.

The paper deals with a special sector of public procurement — G2G, in which state organizations act as both customers and suppliers. The analysis shows the convergence between contractual and administrative relations and risks of transferring the negative factors, responsible for market failures, into the administrative system, as well as the changing nature of the state organization. Budget losses in the sector G2G are revealed and estimated. There are doubts, whether the current practice of substitution of market-based instruments for administrative requirements is able to maintain integrity of public procurement in the situation of growing strategic challenges. Measures are proposed for the adjustment and privatization of contractual relations.

This paper was written based on part of the findings of a survey made on young lawyers who are practicing in the state of Kedah. Young lawyers are advocates and solicitors with less than seven y ears of active practice. The objective of this study is to determine what factors positively influenced young lawyers' ethical decision making. Data was collected from /33 young lawyers who are practicing in the state of Kedah between January - June 2006 through self-administered and close- end questionnaires. The finding suggests that knowledge in professional legal ethics gained at the law faculty, pupil age and short ethics course does not contribute much to the ethical decision making of the young lawyers. Moved by this finding. this paper attempts to discuss the current legal ethics education in Malaysia. The main contention of the writers is their firm belief that the current practice of professional legal ethics education in Malaysia is insufficient and far from being adequate in producing ethical lawyers. Therefore the writers have proposed for professional legal ethics education in Malaysia to be reformed and this proposal serves as the basic premise of this paper.
