  • the Generation Gap in modern surgery
    Archives of Surgery, 2002
    Co-Authors: Claude H Organ
    Abstract:

    The March issue of the Archives of Surgery is dedicated to a discussion of the Generation Gap in modern surgery. In every Generation there is a perceived Gap discussed ad infinitum by analysts in every discipline. The work ethic, commitment, and vision of the younger Generation are questioned, and references are made to a whimsical desire to return to the good old days. The contributors to this issue (medical students, surgery residents, program directors, and department chairs) address the multiple factors that affect the quality of life issues faced by surgery residents. The disappointing results of the 2001 National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) have received the attention of various regulatory and administrative groups. These introductory statements summarize the policy positions of several organizations.

  • the Generation Gap in modern surgery a new era in general surgery
    Archives of Surgery, 2002
    Co-Authors: James E Craven
    Abstract:

    General surgery remains one of the most respected residencies available to medical students today. At the same time, the number of medical school graduates applying for general surgery residencies continues to decline. Despite this decline, we still search for those individuals exhibiting qualities shared by general surgeons who excel. Although the field of general surgery is constantly evolving, these qualities remain the same. While intellect and good technical skills are essential, they alone do not ensure success as a surgery resident. Confidence, stamina, tenacity, and patience are imperative. Good leadership, motivational, and decision-making skills are also vital characteristics. Finally, the importance of dedication to patient care cannot be overstated. Because disease, injury, and pain are not scheduled events, general surgery residents regularly spend long hours, day and night, caring for and worrying about their patients. To ensure that we continue to add a sufficient number of general surgery residents each year without lowering our standards, those of us in general surgery must attempt to determine why fewer medical school graduates are applying for general surgery residencies. Then we must find ways in which we can improve the residency programs and, probably more important, emphasize to students the things about this field that led us to devote our lives to its practice.

  • digital media and the Generation Gap
    Information Communication & Society, 2009
    Co-Authors: Lynn Schofield Clark
    Abstract:

    In many parts of the developed world, families engage with a wide range of communication media as a part of their daily lives. Parents often express mixed feelings about this engagement on the part of young people, however. Employing Baumberg's narrative-in-interaction analysis to interviews with 55 parents and 125 young people, this article explores both the discursive strategies parents employ when discussing their rules and regulations regarding digital technologies, and the strategies employed by their teenage young people in response. It considers how parents attempt to articulate authority in relation to digital media use among their teenage children, and how the ways in which teens interpret those parental attempts to express authority influence the strategies they themselves embrace regarding digital media. The article argues that although economically disadvantaged families experience the digital Generation Gap with particular intensity, their strategies reveal that they and their teenage childre...

  • intercriteria analysis of Generation Gap influence on genetic algorithms performance
    IWIFSGN@FQAS, 2016
    Co-Authors: Olympia Roeva, Peter Vassilev
    Abstract:

    In this investigation InterCriteria Analysis (ICA) is applied to examine the influences of one of the genetic algorithms parameters—the Generation Gap (gGap). The investigation is carried out during the model parameter identification of E. coli MC4110 cultivation process. The apparatuses of index matrices and intuitionistic fuzzy sets, which are the core of ICA, are used to establish the relations between gGap and GAs outcomes (computational time and decision accuracy), on one hand, and cultivation process model parameters on the other hand. The obtained results after ICA application are analyzed in terms of convergence time and model accuracy and some conclusions about derived interactions are reported.
