“…This law is based on findings by Taylor (1953Taylor ( , 1955 and holds that "self-descriptions tend to be consistent over long periods of time" (Stephenson, 1982b, p. 243), but consistency applies not only to self-perceptions, but to social perceptions generally. Baas (2020;Baas et al, 2022) has provided a remarkable demonstration of persons from one of the Q factors from his doctoral research whose views of the U.S. Constitution remained essentially unchanged more than 40 years later.…”

The study of single cases has occupied an important position in the history of the human sciences and William Stephenson (1902–1989) has been explicit that the study of single cases from the centrality-of-self standpoint is the only way to proceed scientifically. Adopting the view that abductions, like laws, are for future use and provide guidance in helping determine what to look for and which facts have value within any domain of inquiry, this study focuses on what solitude means in individual cases. Two persons reflect on their own experiences under nine conditions of instruction inspired by various laws of subjectivity that have been proposed by Stephenson, and the factor-analytic results are used to illustrate various of the laws as well as the variety in individual lives, and to elucidate the importance of the intensive study of single cases.

AimTo identify the available evidence regarding nursing roles in skin cancer screening and early detection and the reported education and training undertaken to do so.DesignScoping review, reported in accordance with PRISMA‐ScR.Data SourcesA database search of Medline, CINAHL, Scopus, Embase, Emcare and JBI was conducted in November 2021. A grey literature search was conducted in February 2022. Searches were updated in August 2023.Review MethodsThe data were extracted and synthesized into themes related to nursing roles and education.ResultsOf the 2285 identified studies, 54 were included in the review. Nursing roles included screening and early detection, prevention and patient education or counselling. Except for specialized nurse practitioners, nurses working in primary clinical care mostly engage in skin cancer supportive/administrative roles rather than leading collaborators in screening and early detection. The education and training for nurses were identified around themes of didactic education, clinical experience, training in dermoscopy, performance and knowledge assessment and self‐efficacy.ConclusionThe roles and responsibilities of nurses working in skin cancer screening and early detection are highly variable, as are the reported training and education programmes. Little research has been conducted to explore this nursing role or the educational requirements needed for proficiency. With appropriate best practice education, it is within most primary care nurses’ scope of practice to obtain competence in delivering opportunistic skin cancer screening.Impact While most nurse specialists in dermatology will be proficient in dermoscopy and skin cancer screening, nurses who work in general practice are often underutilized due to a lack of opportunity and a clear pathway to becoming proficient in dermoscopic skin cancer screening. Most nurses involved in skin cancer screening are employed in advanced roles, and only a few studies investigating educational interventions utilized dermoscopy among advanced nurses. With specific training, nurses can work within their full scope of practice and increase access to skin cancer screening and early detection.

“…For example, the former chairperson for the Electoral Commission of Ghana was removed from office due to complete disregard of the procurement regulations such as; sole sourcing without authorization from the Public Procurement Authority and abrogation of a contract without due process among others (Essel, 2021). In the Ghanaian mining sector, the second-highest ranking of the five types of economic crime that are most frequently reported is procurement fraud and corruption (Taylor, 2022). For example, tempering with the content of tender documents, inflating contract prices, bid suppression, and inconsistent disclosure of information to bidders to serve the interest of procurement professionals and their employers are some of the procurement fraud and corruption in the Ghanaian mining industry (Taylor, 2022).…”

The anti‐corruption capabilities of e‐procurement have not gotten any attention in Ghana, although the success factors of e‐procurement adoption have been thoroughly researched. The study's main objective is to assess how e‐procurement may reduce procurement fraud and corruption in Ghanaian mining enterprises. A self‐administered questionnaire was used to gather information on the extent to which e‐procurement anti‐corruption factors outlined in the literature reduced procurement fraud and corruption in Ghanaian mining firms from the perspectives of sector practitioners. The data was then analyzed using factor analysis. The study revealed the breaking of the monopoly of power, transparency and accountability, and breaking of information asymmetry, as e‐procurement anti‐corruption variables that combat procurement fraud and corruption in the mining companies. The most effective e‐procurement factor for preventing procurement fraud and corruption is the breaking of the monopoly of power, followed by transparency and accountability, and the least is the breaking of information asymmetry. To reduce procurement fraud and corruption, the government and organizations that manage procurement activities will now have a better understanding of the e‐procurement anti‐corruption activities and be guided as such.
