The diagnostic reasoning for clinical diagnoses involves the collection of data and application of systematic approaches to formulating hypotheses and create lists of different diagnoses. However, sometimes the clinician can make errors that that have a direct impact on the way they handle a patient leading to incorrect diagnoses, treatments and overall management plan. Most medical errors are identified as systemic and are usually solved using various interventions as checklists. However, there are other errors that occur during diagnosis and treatment, and these are attributed to flawed diagnostic reasoning (Wellbery, 2011). Diagnostic reasoning errors are mostly caused by heuristics ...

Dream sequences have appeared as an element in various media since at least the time of the Ancient Greeks, with Aeschylus seemingly using the device in his play The Persians, but it was Hollywood which really brought the idea of the dream sequence into common knowledge. These sequences, in both film and books, are used for a variety of reasons: they can be used as a means of gaining insight into a character’s mental state, or some event of their past which has bearing on the present happenings.

Introduction

Structures such as large buildings can create its own unique internal environment that can significantly impact the comfort and health of its occupants. After many years of investigating and studying building infrastructures, engineers and designers have increased their understanding and knowledge on the environmental conditions that exists within the building in relation to its physical properties. For the same reason, a solid background in building physics is an integral part of a building’s design, particularly in this modern era wherein green buildings are the rising trend. Most modern buildings integrate building physics prior to construction ...

Discussions about LGBT rights, civil liberties have been ongoing since the dawn of the 20th century. From the initial period where LGBT people were looked down upon or shunned from regular life and activities, to today, where there is more awareness and recognition about civil liberty and LGBT rights; the nation has come a long way. As time progressed and with the end of WW II, there was more awareness and sensitivity towards homosexuals and discussions and policies to provide fair treatment and employment began to emerge. These discussions, as we notice from the NYT articles are still holding ...

This is one of the authorities and powers that are mainly lodged within the legislative body of the government. While the law making power of the government is within the exclusive ...

THE ROLE OF PUBLIC COMMUNICATION IN PUBLIC SPHERE AND THE INFLUENCE OF WORK OF THE PUBLIC COMMUNICATION PROFESSIONALS IN PARTICULAR SECTORS

The role of Public Relations (PR) and Public Communications officers has transformed from supportive to the strategic function, building on sustainable and effective operations in all three sectors (Fawkens, 2012, pp.3-20). While some may think that the role of public communication is to handle emergencies, the strategic goals of this function are much wider (Lattimore et al., 2012, pp.354-358). Among others, some of the vital tasks of PC include the development and implementation of the public image strategy, ...

People have recognized that the modern technological advances that we experience up until now have come with grave implications on environmental issues. Policy makers, debates, and public deliberations on environmental issues are now geared to solving these problems. However, the awareness from the public is not entirely borne out of first hand experiences. After all, we are all not scientists here. The mass media is, in part, responsible for steering public attention towards the myriad environmental issues. Mass media, from its print era to the digital age era of internet and smartphones have always been responsible in both creating ...

Introduction

Traditional models of accountability, primarily those of elections and legislative scrutiny, are no longer sufficient in holding governments accountable. While Emy and Hughes (1988) argue that accountability dilemmas have been long standing within ministerial government, they see accountability failures as an indication of mechanisms corrupted by political interest. The rise of new social movements is a strong indication of the collective desire of citizens to interrupt the “chain of accountability”. The desire to influence political decision makers is a reflection of a growing assumption that the democratic deficit facing most western governments requires experiments ...

Specific aspects of a given subject are selected and highlighted while others are excluded or reduced. Different parties believe and advocate different frames for the same ...

Scenario 1. In this situation, there are a number of key problems that have to be addressed. Websterton is a school that shows a number of features of a school that might potentially fail very soon in the future: the low staff morale combined with the fact that the staff members are largely new is not necessarily a negative feature for the institution, but it also certainly has the potential to be difficult for the school to really begin to heal in this particular scenario. Due to the structure of the American educational funding system, the fact that test ...

Effective parenting is essential to the moral development of a child. In fact, lack thereof compromises the ethical beliefs maintained by the child, and this could result in the indulgence in unacceptable behaviors. According to the Journal of Family Violence, females are more vulnerable to the effects of distant parenthood than the male gender (Bowles, Dana and Jennifer 681). As a result, witnessing traumatizing events in their early developmental stages could negatively affect their social abilities and integration with other people. With this in mind, it is worth appreciating the fact that most of the female inmates had instances ...

David Fincher’s 1999 film adaptation of the Chuck Palahniuk novel Fight Club provides a uniquely slick, stylish filmic presentation of the book’s gritty, darkly comic sensibilities. Tracking the life of a disillusioned, emasculated, narrator (known only as Jack in the film, played by Edward Norton) and his newfound rebellion against the existential crises of modern American life with the help of charismatic lowlife Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), Fight Club explores both the immense appeal of rebelling against the hegemonic systems set up for men in late capitalist society and the unique beauty and eroticism of masculinity.

In the world of Jane Austen adaptations, Joe Wright’s 2005 film Pride and Prejudice proves itself incredibly innovative in its approach. Prior attempts at adapting Austen works, including Pride, focus on a clean-cut, ornate and incredibly stately world of Victorian England, with upper-class characters spending the entire film in eloquent settings and speaking in decidedly unapproachable manners. Wright, along with screenwriter Deborah Moggach, eschew this aesthetic in order to provide their adaptation of Pride and Prejudice with a more casual, approachable take on the classic Jane Austen romance, complete with a greater emphasis on naturalism, grit and approachability. ...

In the world of web design, there are two primary methods of building web pages and links that are utilized – tables and frames. With tables, the entire web page is a single HTML document that displays everything that will be seen by the visitor when they go to a web page. Frames, on the other hand, are a bit more complicated, carrying multiple components and tables on a single page, providing a complex viewing experience for the visitor.

At first glance, it may seem that frames are the better way to go – you can do more interesting things with framing in web pages, and ...
