The Ideal

Introduction: There has been increasing awareness of employment difficulties for physicians, especially surgeons, in Canada over the past few years. Our objective was to elucidate the attitudes and experiences of graduating Canadian urology residents in obtaining employment.Methods: We surveyed four separate cohorts of graduating urology residents in 2010, 2011, 2016, and 2017. Responses from the 2010 and 2011 cohorts were combined and compared to the combined results of the 2016 and 2017 cohorts. Mean Likert responses were compared using unpaired t-tests. An agreement score was created for those responding with “strongly agree” and “agree” on the Likert scale.Results: A total of 126 surveys were administered with a 100% response rate. The job market was rated as poor or very poor by 64.9% and 58.4% of graduates in 2010/2011 and 2016/2017, respectively (p=0.67). Lack of resources was identified as the biggest barrier to improved employment in both cohorts. Networking at meetings and staff urologists at their institution were the most important factors aiding employment identified by both cohorts. The ideal practice was academic or academically associated community practices in a large urban area, with 5‒10 partners for both cohorts.Conclusions: The majority of graduating urology residents viewed the job market as poor or very poor and this did not change over a six-year period. It is unclear how much personal preference for location and practice type drove the somewhat negative outlook of employment opportunities, as the majority of residents were seeking large urban, academic, or academically associated community practices in competitive locations.

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia is one of the leading university that should be responsive to environmental phenomena, especially about the earthquake disaster. Thus, developing disaster mitigation model is a very important thing to do. The purpose of this research is (1) identification of disaster risk factors, (2) classifying parameters and disaster risk indicator based on the availability of data, difficulty in obtaining data, and the accuracy of data, (3) develop alternative parameters to be used as a campus disaster mitigation model-based classification of disaster risk indicator. The method used in this research is literature study, analysis, and synthesis of theory and approach based on consideration of the expertise of the several specialist’s mitigations. The result of this study is an arrangement of the parameter for a campus with disaster mitigation hypothetical model insight which is divided into 3 parts, namely: ideal parameter consisting of 30 parameter indicators, medium parameter consisting of 27 parameter indicators, and simple parameter consisting of 22 parameter indicators.

The possibilities of generating electric power from relatively small hydro-electric sources in a large urban area is investigated. Two different aspects of hydro-electric sources have been studied: storm/waste water pipes in large multi-tenanted residential buildings and urban storm water discharge area (CSI area). The potential to generate from these sources has been investigated using a micro-turbine. The potential electric power which could be extracted from the sources was estimated using energy conservation equations under normal engineering assumptions. While technically feasible, all options are shown to be uneconomic in practice.
