Denta scans in endodontics /certified fixed orthodontic courses by Indian de...Indian dental academy

This document discusses the use of dentascan imaging in endodontics. It provides an overview of the limitations of conventional 2D imaging techniques for assessing root canal morphology and the extent of periapical infections. Dentascans provide 3D imaging which allows evaluation of anatomy in all three dimensions through various reformatted views. A case report demonstrates how dentascans identified extra canals and the full extent of periapical infection and bone loss not visible on 2D imaging. While effective, dentascans have limitations including cost and radiation dose. The document concludes dentascans can improve endodontic treatment outcomes by providing a more accurate assessment of root canal anatomy and periapical pathology.

Oil Conflict - The Political DilemmaJuan Pablo Poch

The document summarizes an article arguing that oil wealth often causes economic and political instability in countries. It discusses how the "oil curse" leads to issues like debt, mismanaged revenues, and economic dependence on oil. This can then fuel conflicts through unrest and instability. As an example, it outlines how Venezuela experienced huge economic growth from oil but then deterioration as revenues declined and were poorly managed under Chavez. It evaluates different approaches for addressing conflicts related to oil wealth, such as diplomacy, sanctions, or military intervention, but notes challenges with each.

Nine lies about workDiego Pacheco

The document outlines 9 common lies about work and proposes alternative truths. The lies discussed include that people care most about the company they work for rather than their team, that the best plan wins rather than intelligence in real-time, and that feedback and performance reviews can reliably rate people. The author argues that people primarily care about their team, intelligence is needed to adapt to a dynamic world, and that reviews mostly reflect raters rather than ratees. The truths proposed emphasize caring for one's team, prioritizing real-time intelligence over static plans, and that people can best rate their own experiences.

Agile Myths and LegendsAngela Dugan

Have you heard any of these statements? “As a manager I will have no control or visibility into my team’s activities with Agile!” “Agile practices are unstructured, everyone is a cowboy!” “An agile development team doesn’t work from requirements, and testing goes out the window!” and my personal favorite - “Agile means no documentation!” Ahhhhhhhhh, no wonder Agile is a scary word for managers and testers. If any of the above statements are true in your organization, then someone is doing it wrong. I am here to tell you from personal experience at a number of clients, both large and small, that none of these claims are true if you are truly following the tenets of Agile. Actually, these statements reflect a situation that is really the OPPOSITE of what can happen on a mature, well-functioning agile team. In this presentation, we will discuss what Agile really IS, and debunk some of the popular myths that make organizations hesitate from adopting Agile into their organization.

The webinar provided an overview of AIG's transformation of its performance management system. It discussed how AIG's previous system focused too much on rankings and numbers, which negatively impacted employee morale. AIG then conducted extensive research, including employee focus groups and working with a behavioral economist. This informed the creation of a new system that focuses on both employees' contributions and how they worked, evaluated through self, peer and manager reviews. It aims to encourage collaboration over competition and have constructive conversations about development. AIG also created a volunteer community of over 1,200 employees to help spread the new approach.

This document discusses various management concepts and principles: - You cannot regulate failure in complex systems and it is better to focus on recovering from failures rather than trying to predict and prevent them. - Product teams are more effective than feature teams because they are focused on discovering customer needs rather than having predefined solutions. - Sharing a vision rather than a detailed roadmap allows for more flexibility and ability to change tactics. - Psychological safety and an environment where people feel included, safe to learn and contribute, and safe to challenge the status quo is important for teams. - Discipline is needed to successfully execute digital transformations but often lacks longevity and focus shifts to short term goals.
