...To coordinate an Ageing Society and eHealth Richard Hobbs r.j.hobbs@umail.leidenuniv.nl Abstract— Scientists have done a tremendous amount of research on the subject of eHealth related to our ageing society. The main causes behind the slow adoption from ageing society to new technologies, such as smart phones and e-commerce, have been researched. There is not a main common cause amongst scientists for this slow adaptation. What are the possible main causes behind the slow adaptation for the elderly to new technology? The aim of this research was to analyse and come to the most common cause indicated by several researchers as to why the ageing society is slow to adapt to new technologies. The results were quite surprising and differed from our original argument. It was assumed that the ageing society was slow to use technology because they were complacent. A literature review of a number of mainly scientific articles on the topic of the ageing society and their slow adaptation to eHealth has been done, from this we were able to conclude that ergonomics and interface problems were the most common causes. It is important to figure out the causes of the slow adaptation to find possible market opportunities and to adjust the upcoming technologies for the ageing society. Keywords— eHealth, ageing, adaptation, elderly people, ergonomics Introduction Presently Information Technology is becoming a more dominant part of our daily routines; nearly all of what...

...Customary international Law, according to Article 38(1)(b) of the International Court of Justice Statute is defined as “evidence of general practice accepted as law”. A more implicit definition says, “Customary international law develops from the practice of States. To international lawyers, the practice of states' means official governmental conduct reflected in a variety of acts, including official statements at international conferences and in diplomatic exchanges, formal instructions to diplomatic agents, national court decisions, legislative measures or other actions taken by governments to deal with matters of international concern. (Public International Law In a Nutshell: 22-23). In examining customary international law in light of these definitions, this essay will seek not only to answer the questions of whether its method of creation is uncertain, its method of development, mysterious and its application arbitrary. Customary international law is created when a norm or principle embraces a particular set of characteristics. There has been great debate among legal academics as to the uncertainty of this method of creation. However, the implicit characterization of what is considered to be customary international law suggests that there is some measure of certainty pertaining the method of creation. According to Berkeley Law, for a principle or rule to be characterized as customary international law it must comprise of three undeniable characteristics, which include state...

...When was the last time you read a book, or a substantial magazine article? Do your daily reading habits center around tweets, Facebook updates, or the directions on your instant oatmeal packet? If you’re one of countless people who don’t make a habit of reading regularly, you might be missing out: reading has a significant number of benefits, and just a few benefits of reading are listed below. 1. Mental Stimulation Studies have shown that staying mentally stimulated can slow the progressof (or possibly even prevent) Alzheimer’s and Dementia, since keeping your brain active and engaged prevents it from losing power. Just like any other muscle in the body, the brain requires exercise to keep it strong and healthy, so the phrase “use it or lose it” is particularly apt when it comes to your mind. Doing puzzles and playing games such as chess have also been found to be helpful with cognitive stimulation. 2. Stress Reduction No matter how much stress you have at work, in your personal relationships, or countless other issues faced in daily life, it all just slips away when you lose yourself in a great story. A well-written novel can transport you to other realms, while an engaging article will distract you and keep you in the present moment, letting tensions drain away and allowing you to relax. 3. Knowledge Everything you read fills your head with new bits of information, and you never know when it might come in handy. The more knowledge you have, the better-equipped you are...

...Identifying Barriers to Pain Management in Long-Term Care Nursing research is critical to the nursing profession and is important for promoting optimal nursing care based on the latest research findings. Critiquing research reports is important because it promotes a complete examination of the study that allows the critique to judge its strengths, weaknesses, logical relationships, meanings, and significance of the findings. The purpose of this paper is to provide an objective critique of the research report “Identifying barriers to pain management in long-term care” with a focus on five dimensions: substantive and theoretical dimension, methodological dimension, ethical dimension, interpretive dimension, and presentation and stylistic dimension. Title The title of this report was appropriate and clear. It communicated the research problem (identifying barriers to pain management) and the study population (long term care residents).The information was conveyed in only nine words communicating the independent variable (the barriers), the dependent variable (pain management), and the study population (residents with chronic pain in long term care facilities). It could be argued that something about the health-related quality of life should have been included in the title making it a little bit longer but more explicit. Abstract The abstract written with subheadings was excellent, summarizing the major features of the study. It presented the aim of the study, the methods...

...Summary In reviewing the book “Integrative Approaches to Psychology and Christianity” by David N. Entwistle (2010) the author poses many questions about integrating Christianity and psychology. The book begins with questioning the influence of religion on humanity in the example of the worshipers in the threating situation of sitting in a church filled with carbon-monoxide. The events of that occurrence lead the author to take a deeper look into integration. Entwistle goes on to explore the many challenges of the faith-based communities’ views and criticisms on the sciences and psychology. Entwistle poses one of the basic objections “Some people see Christianity only as a religious belief and psychology as a profession, with very little overlap between them.” (Entwistle, 2010, p.10). The author then goes on to state arguments against this belief as he further defines Christianity, philosophy, theology and psychology, allowing the reader to examine the differences and the likenesses between them. To further analyze, Entwistle states “The term integration suggests that it takes effort to find connection between psychology and theology because they have been dis-integrated, or torn asunder” (Entwistle, 2010, p. 16). Appealing to the reader to see the word ‘integration’ as both a noun and a verb. Initial opposition to integration is reflected in the story of Galileo’s verdict by the Roman Catholic Church. Entwistle provides further evidence of the relationship between faith...
