An Exploratory Study Into the Implementation of Management Accounting Changes in Australia

This paper is an exploratory study which investigates the introduction and implementation of management accounting changes in Australia. The study first examines the introduction of relatively new management accounting techniques in professional journals, conferences, workshops, and professional development programs over a four-year period in Australia. These are among the main sources of transferring information on cost and management accounting changes to potential users in Australia. The purpose of such a study is to get a clear picture of the scope and extent of recently developed cost and management accounting techniques introduced to practitioners in Australia. By identifying the major management accounting changes and developments faced by organizations, the study then investigates the extent of implementations of such changes in practice. The study further explores the hindering and facilitating factors contributing to the implementation of new management accounting changes in organizations.

Meta-analysis of Chinese Medicines for prevention and treatment of radiation esophagitis

OBJECTIVE:To systematically assess the clinical effectiveness of Chinese medicines for prevention and treatment of radiation esophagitis by meta-analysis.METHODS:The articles were mainly retrieved from the "CHKD(China Hospital Knowledge Database) periodical full text databank",the "China periodical full text databank",the "CHKD doctor's and Master's degree student full text databank",and the "China doctor's degree student thesis databank",and they were selected according to the literature selection standard.The effects of Chinese medicines and Western medicines on radiation esophagitis were compared by meta-analysis.RESULTS:Based on 13 articles,we found that the effectiveness of Chinese medicines for prevention and treatment of radiation esophagitis was superior to Western medicines,with no obvious side effects.Meta-analysis showed that the total odds ratio was 0.426 and the 95% confidence interval was 0.368,0.493.CONCLUSION:Chinese medicines are superior to Western medicines in preventing and treating radiation esophagitis.However,some methodological problems in the literature may have affected the authenticity of the results.Therefore,more rigorous,multi-central,randomized controlled trials with a large sample size should be designed to obtain a more reliable conclusion.
