Think culture

Leaders create culture with their every thought, word, and deed. In fact leadership predicts culture—and culture predicts safety outcomes. The data demonstrate these relationships (see chapters 3 and 4). Since leadership shapes culture, and culture predictably defines the likelihood of exposure to harm, leaders are obligated to 

The fundamental ethical error related to patient safety occurs when leaders know how to minimize exposures to harm but don t take action to make it happen. Healthcare leaders can know, sometimes do know, and always ought to know how climate, culture, and systems shape the behaviors manifested in their organizations.

Nixon I don t think cultured cells are like atherosclerotic plaque cells, from what we have seen. In the data you showed on the expression of different channels, the expression and localization of InsP3 receptors is very different. For example, the InsP3 receptor expression around the nuclear envelope is not seen in tissue. 

Today s job market values ambitious, innovative, perceptive team players. Swedish universities foster these qualities through a forward-thinking culture where you re close to the latest ideas and global trends.

Physicians deplore mistakes and inefficient organizational systems that let them down and injure their patients. But few doctors are trained in systems thinking, culture development, or process control methods, and they often feel that these problems are beyond their control, i.e., the responsibility of other people. The attitude is, "My job is to practice good medicine. Nurses should accurately carry out my orders. Administrators should see to it that hospital systems function properly."...

This book is well written, logically developed, and easy to read. I hope it will be widely read, not just by designers, but by everyone involved with the design of new plants, including chemists who choose the reactions to be used. Above all, 1 hope it will be read by senior managers, as they are in a position to influence the policy and culture of the company and are inclined to ask why we carry out so many studies on new projects instead of getting on with the detailed design. This book will teU them why. I can think of no better Christmas present for your company president. 

Where an effective informal system exists and is followed, the issue is one of style, not substance. A facility or unit may have a strong safety culture and sound safety practices, but its managers lack the habit of form documentation, or simply don t think it is important. Assuming that safety performance meets applicable standards, you will probably assign cases like these a relatively low priority, compared with other noncompliance situations. Cases like these are also often the easiest to fix since the fundamentals are already in place, what s required is simply to formalize the informal system by preparing and implementing documentation procedures. 

The value of hard work and logical thinking shouldn t be underestimated but pure luck also plays a role in most real scientific breakthroughs. What has been called "the supreme example [of luck] in all scientific history" occurred in the late summer of 1928 when the Scottish bacteriologist Alexander Fleming went on vacation, leaving in his lab a culture plate recently inoculated with the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus.

Bryant No, you can put these mutant imaginal discs into an adult fly as a culture medium, and they will continue growing, whereas the wild-type disc will stop growing at the normal final size (see Sehnal Bryant 1993 for review). I don t think there is a systemic signal for shutting down growth. 

Thomas A basic cell fate decision made by tissue culture is restriction late in Gl. I don t know how this applies, but the cell decides whether to progress through he call cycle or return to Gl arrest. I would think that some time late in Gl would be the time the cell makes such a decision. 

While we think of blue jeans as the quintessential American item of clothing, it was the contributions of the German chemist Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Adolf von Baeyer that put the blue" in blue jeans and enabled this image of American culture to flourish. 

Stanley Shostak I m reminded of Huxley s response to Wilberforce. You ve used your enormous intellect to reduce the subject to humour. I object, and I think we have a very serious crisis in our culture, and while we might find it amusing it s going to be devastating unless we have an alternative. So let me be reductionist for a moment and remind you that in Code of Codes Watson explains that he appealed to Congress for support because he knew that the politicians wanted to be able to advertise that they...
