Medical technology is fast changing the healthcare setting along with the varying practice patterns of physicians. Integrating technology in healthcare is crucial for the health of individuals and optimal life quality in several regions.

[Assignment]

There has been a major push in the past few decades towards diversity in the literary canon, which was for a long while dominated by similar voices with similar origins. This push toward diversity has taken many forms: the integration of more female voices; the inclusion of more writers of color, regardless of their origin; and the inclusion of works of literature from non-Western cultures that have for too long been ignored. This last point has become known by the name multiculturalism, and though there is agreement throughout the academic community that this addition of previously un-acknowledged voices ...

Background

The present-day advancements in the field of technology present a major breakthrough or opportunity for the healthcare system at large. This is purposely due to the myriad of information management, analysis and sharing products that come with health information technology (HIT). This means that accurate health information can be quickly and safely transacted between the patient and the healthcare provider as well as between the healthcare providers.

In his book “the Origins Of The Second World War In Europe” AJP Taylor makes the argument that the underlying causes of World War II, in contrast to popular sentiment, was the general complexity of political will and international relations at the time, rather than Hitler's dominating influence alongside Fascism and Nazi ideologies. Instead, the various powers, with their individual desires and relational struggles, embarked on the same path which nobody, not even Hitler, had wanted to pursue. Despite the devastation of the Second World War, it is difficult to pin its inception on any one individual. While Hitler ...

Introduction

The world of art has always been driven by an immortal tradition where the sole artist worked as the creative force and his relationship with the art was way more influential than the traditional author-art relation. In the case of films, the concept of the ‘Auteur’ explains one of the most significant styles of cinematic direction in which the director becomes too dominant over the entire film that he is being ranked as the author for the film. Some directors in the world cinema are reckoned to have such a strong authorial presence in their films that is very ...

Introduction

There is no doubt that advertisements have meaning: this is the fundamental purpose of advertisements in today’s culture—to impart meaning on the viewer. However, through a thorough understanding of semiotics, it becomes clear that sometimes the meanings contained in advertisements are deeper and more complex than they seem at first glance. Everything that is produced in culture has a cultural meaning—some things, however, are much more culturally resonant than others (Chandler). Some thinkers have even suggested that all cultural realities and productions can be understood as a kind of cultural communication—and that this communication may ...
