Abstract:
Occupational health nurses must apply the universal principles of Total Quality Management so that health services are customer driven, value added, process focused, and statistically measured. They must elicit customer input prior to, along with, and after program implementation. Programs must be directed toward doing the right things and doing things right. Measurement must be a priority of any program in health services. If occupational health nurses do all this, they will be at the forefront of the American quality movement, especially as it relates to health care.

More recently, in addition to whole brain irradiation, the roles of surgery, stereotactic radiosurgery, chemotherapy, and targeted therapies in the definitive management of brain metastases have been investigated in num

Abstract Using three major initiatives in support of gender sensitivity in land management in Korea, the article suggests that gender mainstreaming in land management can be achieved in the following ways: (i) governance rearrangements in spatial decision making;(ii) smart infrastructure concepts aligned with female elements and preferences; (iii) private public partnership (PPP) on women empowerment; and (iv) openness and transparency of gender disaggregated data. However, several important limitations also need to be considered when trying to adopt (or adapt) the Korean experience elsewhere.
