Studies of corporate governance in the capital markets area have focused on the mechanisms and structures of governance and less on the medium through which it is accomplished. This chapter examines the use of information and communications technologies (ICTs) as a medium to enhance governance in the capital markets, focusing in particular on the Canadian capital market. Parallels are drawn between the e-governance issues faced by governments and the capital markets. The chapter concludes with a discussion of future directions for e-governance in the capital markets.

This paper addresses a dilemma in corporate governance. Indeed, corporate governance has been a hype in modern business world. They were designed to curb malpractices and foul play in corporations. However, many practitioners and academics alike have not come in terms for the best approach for corporate governance. This paper simplistically addresses this dilemma and examine briefly the varying approaches to corporate governance in modern business world. This is not an empirical piece but on the contrary it is a writing that address the intricate dilemma in corporate governance and perhaps to determine the trajectory of their future directions.

We discuss the challenge of corporate governance and its regulation in the post-modern world. In so doing we explore the complex web of recent regulation that has developed out of a mix of political ideologies and business scandals. We highlight a series of identifiable issues at the interface between the regulation of corporations, its practice and its theory, and conclude with a discussion of future directions for governance research, as well as methodological issues implicit in process studies of governance.

The role of electron microscopy and associated techniques is assured in diagnostic pathology. At the present time, most of the progress has been made on tissues examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and correlated with light microscopy (LM) and by cytochemistry using both plastic and paraffin-embedded materials. As mentioned elsewhere in this symposium, this has revolutionized many fields of pathology including diagnostic, anatomic and clinical pathology. It began with the kidney; however, it has now been extended to most other organ systems and to tumor diagnosis in general. The results of the past few years tend to indicate the future directions and needs of this expanding field. Now, in addition to routine EM, pathologists have access to the many newly developed methods and instruments mentioned below which should aid considerably not only in diagnostic pathology but in investigative pathology as well.

Purpose This study examined the current pediatric amplification practice with an emphasis on hearing aid verification using probe microphone measurement (PMM), among audiologists in Klang Valley, Malaysia. Frequency of practice, access to PMM system, practiced protocols, barriers, and perception toward the benefits of PMM were identified through a survey. Method A questionnaire was distributed to and filled in by the audiologists who provided pediatric amplification service in Klang Valley, Malaysia. One hundred eight ( N = 108) audiologists, composed of 90.3% women and 9.7% men (age range: 23–48 years), participated in the survey. Results PMM was not a clinical routine practiced by a majority of the audiologists, despite its recognition as the best clinical practice that should be incorporated into protocols for fitting hearing aids in children. Variations in practice existed warranting further steps to improve the current practice for children with hearing impairment. The lack of access to PMM equipment was 1 major barrier for the audiologists to practice real-ear verification. Practitioners' characteristics such as time constraints, low confidence, and knowledge levels were also identified as barriers that impede the uptake of the evidence-based practice. Conclusions The implementation of PMM in clinical practice remains a challenge to the audiology profession. A knowledge-transfer approach that takes into consideration the barriers and involves effective collaboration or engagement between the knowledge providers and potential stakeholders is required to promote the clinical application of evidence-based best practice.

Abstract The purpose of this opinion article is to review the impact of the principles and technology of speech science on clinical practice in the area of craniofacial disorders. Current practice relative to (a) speech aerodynamic assessment, (b) computer-assisted single-word speech intelligibility testing, and (c) behavioral management of hypernasal resonance are reviewed. Future directions and/or refinement of each area are also identified. It is suggested that both challenging and rewarding times are in store for clinical researchers in craniofacial disorders.
