I have had enough!
نویسنده
چکیده
I apologize for making some of you nervous, and perhaps even resentful, but I HAVE HAD ENOUGH! I do not like the new unethical face of my profession, where incessant seeking of more money has replaced service to the public, honesty, and self-respect. Numerous areas of major ethical concern in dentistry are identified in this article. The ongoing, if not accelerating, degeneration of professional ethics in dentistry is clearly evident to even casual observers. Improvements in professional ethics are necessary to regain our self-respect and the respect of the people we serve. All of us need to improve, including practitioners, speakers, dental schools accomplishing research, manufacturers, editors, and evaluating groups. It is time to return to honesty and to dealing with our fellow men and women in the way we would want to be treated ourselves. I do not think it is too late.

Editor's Note
This issue comes with changes in our web page and the addition of a group of scholars who have graciously accepted to be our advisory board members. PLSJ was a challenge in Persian studies in Iran and was faced with quite a few obstacles in these five volumes.

متن کاملOn quasi-Armendariz skew monoid rings
Let $R$ be a unitary ring with an endomorphism $σ$ and $F∪{0}$ be the free monoid generated by $U={u_1,…,u_t}$ with $0$ added, and $M$ be a factor of $F$ setting certain monomial in $U$ to $0$, enough so that, for some natural number $n$, $M^n=0$. In this paper, we give a sufficient condition for a ring $R$ such that the skew monoid ring $R*M$ is quasi-Armendariz (By Hirano a ring $R$ is called...
متن کاملSub-Conjunctival Injections of Cyanide of Mercury in Trachomatous Conditions
as the use of sub-conjunctival injections of cyanide of mercury was concerned. Since that time I observed that these injections used for bulbar conjunctival conditions had a powerful influence over trachoma of the palpebral conjunctiva. Hence for the past year or more I have used it to the practical exclusion of all other remedies for treatment of trachoma. I have had enough experience of it to...
متن کاملIntrinsic Value: Towards A Pragmatic Theory
Intrinsic value is a concept central to the environmentalist movement. Whether one believes that natural objects have intrinsic value is supposed to determine whether one takes a ecocentric or homocentric approach to environmentalism, whether we practice deep or (merely) shallow ecology. Yet this concept is also a center of controversy and confusion. Just what does it mean for something to ha...
متن کاملGrammatical Inference and the Upwrite Predictor
I write this report for two reasons. Firstly, to prove to my supervisor that I have actually done something over the last six months, and that I have had a few ideas of my own. Secondly, and more importantly , I write this report to \crystallise" my ideas, as Yianni puts it. Surprisingly enough, this actually works. In fact, while thinking about writing this report, I discovered a truly marvelo...
متن کاملI thought I wasn't thin enough to be anorexic.
On 15 December 2015, two weeks after I was referred to CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) and six months after my periods had stopped, I messaged my mum a random question: “Am I anorexic?” I expected my mum to reply: “No, of course you’re not.” Two minutes later, however, the answer came back. “Yes, I’m sorry darling, it’s true.” That was the first time I realised that I was il...
