In summary, authors Rimland, Edelson, and Veale are to be commended for bringing the topic of auditory integration training forward for professional review and debate. AIT offers an excellent forum for consideration of the role of theory in intervention for clinicians engaged in treatment of persons with communication disorders. Each clinician must take a step back on occasion and face the question about treatment efficacy from an objective, data-driven perspective. Such public discussion of AIT as intervention inevitably leads to reexamination of what is meant by success/failure in treatment; indeed, what constitutes intervention itself. AIT is being held up to the scrutiny of both the clinical and research communities, and, if it is valid, it will withstand such inquiry and will even advance our understanding of some very perplexing disorders. In order for that to happen, responsible researchers and clinicians must be willing to shed biases, ask questions, conduct studies, and report them to their professional community of peer reviewers. The process is vital for every speech, language, and hearing professional and for the persons with communication disorders they serve.

The professional review process delineates procedures for hearing complaints of alleged professional misconduct by members of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW). It provides mechanisms for conducting hearings and alternate dispute resolution via mediation, monitoring professional behavior, and sanctioning and developing corrective actions for NASW members who are in violation of the NASW’s Code of Ethics. The process, originally developed in 1967, has been modified over time to reflect the best identified means for conducting fair hearings and carrying out the most appropriate interventions.

There is a growing need for the development of at least some academic vocabulary in students of EFL (studying English for teaching and non-teaching purposes), if one of the main aims of EFL study is to produce competent users of English. Students are expected to read and understand advanced professional texts, not simply to successfully complete their degrees but to become a part of educated society, and to be able to meet the demands placed upon their knowledge in a prefessional environment. The reading and understanding of professional texts can be a highly demanding activity because of the number of academic and professional terms such texts include. This paper exemplifies the usefulness of a gap-fill exercise, as one among a range of options for developing and testing academic vocabulary in a professional context. The exercise was compiled with AWL gapmaker based on a professional review text, which includes academic items of vocabulary. The gap-fill exercise was used with two groups of EFL students in the same year of study and installed at two difficulty levels for two reasons: to test students’ existing knowledge of academic vocabulary, and to enrich it through the analysis of words in context/co-text relation using a concordancing program. The paper compares the answers of both groups to determine the most problematic entries (incorrect answers), and to provide the possible reasons for them. Further, contextual clues are taken into consideration as a helpful source for determining correct entries, and tested with the concordancing program. Besides the emphasis on the usefulness of such gap-fill exercises combined with corpus for the development and enrichment of academic vocabulary, the paper also emphasizes the importance of guiding students in how to search for different grammatical and other contextual clues to make correct inferences, and how to use concordances to support or reject the claims.

The use of information and communication technology has become an integral component and a vital tool in teaching accounting. Over the last few decades, the blend of using state-of-the-art technologies has improved the effectiveness and efficiency of the learning process. Respectively, some predict that physical campuses will decay and crumble in the near future with the continuous growth of borderless societies and the diffusion of extended enterprises leading to a hybrid model for knowledge delivery that extends beyond distance and time barriers. The main emphasis of this case is to study the deployment of technology in teaching accounting in Egypt, using the case of Becker Professional Review in providing trainees with the required training that enables them to pass exams and get professional certification using emerging information technology tools and techniques. The case demonstrates how information technology adaptation can provide a platform for knowledge dissemination and demonstrates a model that can be replicated in similar environments.

There are growing concerns, among physicians and others in the US, about the impact of [present] policies on medical care costs, on the commercialisation of medicine, and on physician autonomy. As a result of the new market-oriented policies, physicians in the US are now the most litigated-against, second-guessed, and paperwork-laden physicians in western industrialised democracies. Physicians' day-to-day clinical decisionmaking—commonly referred to as clinical freedom—is increasingly subject to review and appoval by "case managers" working for employers, insurance carriers, and government financed and regulated professional review organisations. Malpractice suits and administrative costs are multiplying. The growing adversarial relationship with private and public payers and loss of physican autonomy are closely related to the growing view that medical care should be treated like any other private business.
