...Much complain has been made of the "spatial turn" lately, over a scope of orders. It is tricky to know whether the consideration has been justified. A disarray of terms has been utilized, for example, space, place, spatiality, area and each has implied a group of regularly opposing and confounding implications. This wonder is normal to a scope of controls in the humanities. This implies, first and foremost, that it is not generally simple to perceive what is being talked about under the rubric of space, and second, that over-broadened employments of the social turn have frustrated important engagement with materiality in discourses of space. This article demonstrates how materiality has been underestimated both by an easygoing vocabulary and an energetic epistemological comprehensive quality from researchers, and how the spatial turn has been too nearly connected to the social turn to permit it to build up its fullest illustrative potential. It exhibits how history specialists may gainfully hypothesize the noteworthiness of spot and space in their work acquiring methods from geographers and anthropologists, and alluding to the phenomenological custom, and sets out a few difficulties for utilizing space all the more adequately as a part of informative frameworks. Enlivened by ecological history, human science, and science and innovation studies, I propose a method for creating space as not the same as customary verifiable treatment of materiality, and end by distinguishing...

...circulation to finally reach their site of action. The selection of the best route of administration of the drug depends on its physical and chemical properties. Drugs are introduced into the body by several routes. They may be taken by mouth (orally); given by injection into a vein (intravenously), into a muscle (intramuscularly), into the space around the spinal cord (intrathecally), or beneath the skin (subcutaneously); placed under the tongue (sublingually); inserted in the rectum (rectally) or vagina (vaginally); instilled in the eye (by the ocular route); sprayed into the nose and absorbed through the nasal membranes (nasally); breathed into the lungs, usually through the mouth (by inhalation); applied to the skin (cutaneously) for a local (topical) or bodywide (systemic) effect; or delivered through the skin by a patch (transdermally) for a systemic effect. Each route has specific purposes, advantages, and disadvantages. This will determine the effectiveness of the drug to cause the site of action to produce a response. Identical drugs can produce different results depending on the route of administration. In this practical, we will observe the onset and duration of action in response...

...Jonathan Meyer 2/11/14 ACCM 5020 Topical Paper #2: Rules-based vs. Principles-based Accounting Standards Convergence efforts in international accounting and the prevalence of globalization in the world markets has continued to indicate that worldwide financial statement comparability will continue to become more necessary. In light of this, it’s important to determine whether a principles-based or rules-based system would be more appropriate for harmonization. Although most current accounting systems can be primarily defined as rules-based or principles-based, it appears that most of them encompass foundations from both. In other words, it’s apparent that the more successful accounting systems operate in some varying degree of ‘gray area’ between rules-based and principles-based. Therefore, although both types of system have benefits and challenges, any worldwide accounting standards would have to include elements of each. Primarily rules-based accounting systems such as U.S. GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) have both advantages and disadvantages in the creation and implementation of accounting standards. The major challenge for rules-based systems is that they are reactive and can allow for fraud because they dictate what can or cannot be done rather than what should or should not be done to preserve the ‘true and fair view’. In practice, this shows to be a problem because if the standard-setting body (FASB) reacts to accounting issues rather than being...

...I. Statement of Purpose The Copyright Act of 1976 amended the Copyright Act of 1909 and serves as the primary basis of copyright law in the United States[1]. The Act spells out the basic rights of copyright holders, codifies the previously patchwork doctrine of fair use and adopted a unitary term of copyright exclusivity based on the date of the author’s death instead of using a fixed number of years and renewal terms as was previously spelled out in the 1909 Act. The 1909 Act was the last major piece of copyright legislation, and Congress recognized that technology had changed to the point where several pieces of the Act were no longer fit to serve as the basis for interpretation. The 1976 Act was designed to address intellectual property issues raised by new innovations in technology that were previously unforeseen. The Act addresses to the legal practitioners and non-lawyers what kinds of rights they have based on the medium in which they have chosen to communicate an idea as what as what constitutes a copyrightable idea. The sine qua non of copyright is originality, however, the Copyright Act sets the standard for creativity extremely low. Rather than the completely novel ideas protected by the patent laws, copyright laws dictate that an idea only needs a minimal degree of creativity to be protected. The Copyright Act is seen as a compromise between the rights of the publishers and the rights of the authors. The extension protects the rights of the authors with respect...

...The role of preoperative Chlorhexidine as an antiseptic solution to reduce the risk of postoperative surgical site infection C1369366-MET319 Word count: 3546 Contents: Introduction: 3 Objective: 4 Methods: 4 Table 1: Search strategy 5 Critical appraisal of the literature: 5 Discussion: 17 Conclusion: 17 References: 18 Introduction: Surgical Site Infection (SSI) is a common complication in surgical practice. The incidence depends on multiple factors including the type and location of surgical procedure ranging from 2%-4% in simple skin lesions (Rogues et al., 2007) to 36% in cases of reversal of stoma (Liang et al., 2013). Incidence of SSI can be kept low by simple measures such as rescheduling elective procedures in presence of infection; e.g.: Urinary Tract Infection, Respiratory Tract Infection which can seed Bacteria to surgical wounds (Ollivere et al., 2009). Prophylactic Antibiotics given prior to elective surgery remains debatable and of questionable value considering the risk of side effects, emergence of Multi-drug resistant Pathogens and Anaphylaxis, and therefore should be used according to guidelines like in patients with higher risk for developing SSI (Wright et al., 2008, Dixon et al., 2006). Also, procedures at certain body sites and those involving surgical reconstruction are better covered with prophylactic Antimicrobial agent (Rosengren and Dixon, 2010). Use of antiseptic scrub has been...

...Economy and Environment Program for Southeast Asia ENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICS A TEACHERS’ MANUAL Undergraduate Level By Herminia A. Francisco Bui Dung The Pham Khanh Nam August 2005 1 PREFACE This manual was written to support the teaching of undergraduate environmental economics course in Vietnam Universities. Some time in 2003, a number of senior researchers of the Economy and Environment Program for Southeast Asia (EEPSEA) requested that EEPSEA offers a 3-week training course for teachers of Environmental Economics in the country. The request in turn was precipitated by the new mandate from the Ministry of Education in Vietnam that makes Environmental Economics a required course in all Bachelors’ Degree in Economics and Management for all colleges and universities. Aware that the capacity of teachers to teach Environmental Economics varies across the country as training of teachers varies also from selfstudy, short-term training, to a formal course in an undergraduate/graduate degree from local universities or abroad, EEPSEA acceded to the request and offered the course in August 2005. The course though can be used also in other colleges and universities in Southeast Asia. The training course was designed to teach both the subject matter contained in an internationally-comparable undergraduate environmental course and to enhance teachers’ skills in teaching this subject. A teachers’ manual was developed to support the teaching of the training ...
