Drawing on the theory of planned behaviour, this research attempts to examine the impacts of students' entrepreneurial learning on their entrepreneurial intention. In this study, self-report data were collected from 334 students in eight higher education institutions in Hong Kong. The results of the data analysis supported the association between entrepreneurial learning and entrepreneurial intention, as well as the mediating effect of entrepreneurial self-efficacy. The moderating effect of openness was also found to be significant, whereas that of entrepreneurial climate was not. This study provides practical implications to address the issues of low start-up rates of entrepreneurship among university students and some recommendations to university educators.

This paper gives the summary of the six-year operations of multi-family therapy programme in eating disorders at The Eating Disorders Centre at The Psychiatric Clinic, Prague. The research done has been the first experience with multi-family treatment of psychiatric patients in the Czech Republic. This therapy concept is often used abroad as a form of work with patients suffering from the diagnosis of eating disorders. It is a "first choice" method due to NICE Guideline(2004). The inspiration for the Prague team was the London Maudsley model. The main aims of the research were: 1/ to introduce this therapeutic approach into a complex treatment of patients suffering from eating disorders, optimize the functioning structure and programme and stabilize the therapeutic team and 2/ to evaluate the effectiveness of multi-family treatment and suggest the suitable metodology. Since 2004 twenty families which form the observed group have been involved in the project. The combination of qualitative and quantitative methodology was chosen during the primary stage of the research. The methods used were: questionnaires of Beck Depression Inventory (BDI),Schwartz scale of therapy assessment (SOS-10), the life quality questionnaire (SQUALA) and Rosenberg self-concept questionnaire (RSE). We evaluated ten...

Unter Verwendung der Netzplantechnik mit der Methode zur Ermittlung der zeitkritischen Vorgänge (CPM) und zur realitätsnahen Berechnung von Vorgangszeiten (PERT) wurden Arbeitsabläufe zur Durchführung einer CT-Untersuchung analysiert und optimiert. Eine Analyse des Arbeitsablaufes von CT Kopf und Thoraxuntersuchungen wurde unter Verwendung der Netzplantechnik (CPM/PERT) durchgeführt durch 1. Beobachten von CT-Untersuchungen und Definition von anfallenden Arbeitsschritten. 2. Zeitmessungen von 158 CT-Untersuchungen an 2 Spiral-CT-Geräten (von 1998 und 2000), das Patientengut wurde in drei Kategorien (Mobil, Bettlägerig und Intensiv) aufgeteilt. 3. Berechnungen und Erstellen eines graphischen Netzplans mit Definition des kritischen Pfades. 4. Aufzeigen von variablen Arbeitsschritten 5. Prozessoptimierung. Untersuchungszeiten für CT Thorax und Kopf (mobile Patienten) wurden mit 21:04 und 23:05 Minuten für das CT von 2000 bwz. 36:01 und 34:50 Min. für das CT von 1998 gemessen. Befundung, Untersuchungsprotokolle (7,1 min Standardabweichung (SD)), Patientenmanagement, Bildbearbeitung (4,5 min SD) und -speicherung auf Film wurden als zeitintensive Aktivitäten erkannt. Nach Netzplanoptimierung konnte eine realistische Untersuchungsdauer für CT Thorax und Kopf von 15:15 (-28%) und 18:37 Min. (-16%) für das CT von 2000 bzw. 27:07 (-25%) und 31:26 Min. (-10%) für das CT von 1998 projiziert werden. Während der Vorbereitung liegen die Tätigkeiten des Arztes auf dem kritischen Pfad. Die CT-MTRA arbeitet bei der Durchführung der Untersuchung, die Patienten-MTRA zur Nachbereitung auf dem kritischen Pfad. Bei Intensivpatienten wurden im Vgl. zu mobilen und bettlägerigen Patienten bis zu 30% längere Untersuchungszeiten errechnet. Projizierte Untersuchungszeiten am CT-Arbeitsplatz können unter Verwendung der Netzplantechnik bis zu 28% verkürzt werden. / The efficiency of CT operations was evaluated to identify ways to redesign and improve the workflow. A workflow analysis using Critical Pathway Method (CPM) and Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) was performed of head and chest CT by: 1. Observation and definition of work steps to perform the CT scans. 2. Time measurement of 158 CT scans (2 CT scanners of 1998 and 2000), dividing into 3 patient categories (mobile, led up, ICU). 3. Calculation of operational measures and graphical representation of process flow. 4. Finding problematic work steps and reasons behind delays. 5. Process redesign. Mean examination times for chest and head CT of mobile patients were 21:04 and 23:05 minutes respectively for the scanner of 2000 and 36:01 and 34:50 min. for the scanner of 1998. Inside the scanner room the greatest inefficiencies were due to protocol problems (7.1 min standard deviation) and post-processing (4.5 min s.d.). The process redesign lead to a realistic projected examination time of 15:15 (-28%) and 18:37 min. (-16%) for chest and head CT of 2000 respectively and 27:07 (-25%) and 31:26 min.(-10%) for chest and head CT of 1998 (all for mobile patients). The M.D. works critical during preparation time, scanning technician during examination time and patient technician during post-processing time. ICU patients may lengthen examination time up to 30%. Examination time may be reduced up to 28% using CPM and PERT to help redesign the workflow.
