...When assessing a patient for the very first time, it’s important to look at every single detail of the patient. These details include subjective and objective findings, as well as the cultural background of the patient.

Native Americans enjoy a rich culture filled with elaborate traditions and spiritual ceremonies that make this particular culture stand out from the rest of the North...

...INTRODUCTION While tourism is a concept almost everyone around the world is familiar with, ecotourism is a relatively newfangled concept that not too much people have heard of and this is more realistic in the context of our country Bangladesh. Even we, when first assigned with this particular topic as our research project, did not have clear idea what ecotourism exactly was all about. Later, we studied in detail regarding the concept and got to what ecotourism actually is. Two topics that have attracted growing interest in anthropology in the past decade or two are tourism and the environment. Regarding tourism, increasingly people see vacations as a necessary corrective for what they perceive as a more and more stressful working life. Increasingly also, people see the environment as under threat from the profit‐seeking growth that drives corporations. Ecotourism can be broadly defined as an idea of leisure travel that has the object of enjoying features of what is seen as the natural environment in a way that has minimal negative consequences for the environment. Ecotourism is generally taken to include a sociocultural element, the intention of seeing and interacting with people (often identified as “indigenous”) whose customs and appearance seem exotic and attractive and doing so in a way that respects and benefits them. Bangladesh has lots of marvelous tourism spots but most of them are still unexplored by the relevant authority. Having all the minimum requirements, the...

...International Journal of Innovation, Management and Technology, Vol. 5, No. 4, August 2014 Identified Factors Affecting the Intention of Saudi Arabian Citizens to Adopt e-Government Services Sulaiman A. Alateyah, Richard M. Crowder, and Gary B. Wills Abstract—This paper discusses e-government, in particular the challenges that face adoption in Saudi Arabia. e-government can be defined based on an existing set of requirements. In this research we define e-government as a matrix of stakeholders: governments to governments, governments to business and governments to citizens, using information and communications technology to deliver and consume services. e-government has been implemented for a considerable time in developed countries. However, e-government services still face many challenges in their implementation and general adoption in many countries including Saudi Arabia. It has been noted that the introduction of e-government is a major challenge facing the government of Saudi Arabia, due to possible concerns raised by its citizens. In addition, the literature review and the discussion identify the influential factors that affect the citizens’ intention to adopt e-government services in Saudi Arabia. Consequently, these factors have been defined and categorized followed by an exploratory study to examine the importance of these factors. Therefore, this research has identified factors that determine if the citizen will adopt e-government services and thereby aiding governments...
