...prevailing practices. She was particularly interested in how hospitals organized dying as a result of acculturated behavior that was regarded as normal and unproblematic by practitioners who did not understand the origins of the behavior. She discovered how hospitals shape medical practices, how shared medical rhetoric frames decision making about dying patients, and how cultural factors determine the way death occurs in the hospital and even which patients are considered to be dying by physicians and nurses. Kaufman was particularly intrigued by patterns of social behavior. She observed that today death usually is orchestrated by professionals in hospitals and no longer is waited for, a transition that has markedly shortened the “waiting time” for dying. She found that hospital procedures and bureaucracy produced the imperative to “move things along,” mandating that health care professionals expedite decision making and produce the conditions for death. She identified “pathways” for moving things along, such as heroic intervention, and discussed how and why patients may stop moving along a pathway. Her ethnographic study features the detailed case histories of 27 patients culled from more than 100 dying patients she observed. In their clinical and social detail, multidisciplinary approach, and poignancy, many of the histories remind me of inpatient ethics consultations I have performed. Her analysis illuminates the...

...Prep – Tuesdays and Thursdays. March 15th 2012. DIE BECAUSE IT IS TIME AND NOT BECAUSE THERE IS A LINE. One of people’s greatest fears in life is death and this fear only gets bigger when people think that to try to prevent an early death, or even to die having a little comfort and knowing that you did everything you could, it will cost a lot of money, especially if you are in the United States. That is probably why people do everything they can to have health insurance, which is monthly paid and kind of expensive, but unfortunately, that is not enough because when you need to see a doctor or go to a hospital, it is charged an extra fee. It is written in the Human Rights “Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services…” If health care is that much important, shouldn’t it have universal coverage within the United States? If going to the hospital wasn’t so expensive people would take better care of their health. I have seen a lot of people not going to the doctor, myself included, just because it is expensive. Of course, in some occasions it can be impossible, depending on what kind of accident you had or pain you are feeling. However, most people don’t seek for a doctor if they consider their symptoms transient. It is hard to imagine myself going to the doctor every time I have the flu, or my throat hurts but what we often...

Tiaan Smit was selected to the ASA Youth Team to compete at the CCA Southern Region Youth Championships in Zimbabwe in May 2012. Tiaan trained hard for the Championships but unfortunately a few days before the event all the hurdles athletes in the South-African team were advised that all the hurdles events had been cancelled due to insufficient entries. 2012 ended with both Tiaan Smit and Ané Fourie ranked on the IAAF top 50 ranking list for the year: Tiaan B.u.18/Youth 4th in the world 110mHurdles Best time 13.61 Ané G.u.20/Junior 25th in the world 400mHurdles Best time 58.65 At the Western Province Primary School Championships in February 2013, athletes from our training group won 2 gold medals, 2 silver medals and 9...

...Laboratory 1 Name: Santoss Student ID: XXXXX High Pressure die Casting: Aluminium High Pressure Die Casting Aluminium: High Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) is an industrial metal casting process categorized by forcing molten metals under high pressure in a mould cavity. Mould cavity is made of two hardened tool steel dies which have been properly machined into desired shape and work similarly to an injection during the process. HPDC is most widely used casting process for aluminium casting alloys. There are two types of HPDC: Hot-chamber and Cold-chamber die casting. Variations on these two types include: 1. Hot-chamber die casting: is the more popular of the two die casting processes. In this process, the cylinder chamber of the injection device is completely dipped in the molten metal immersion. A gooseneck metal feed system draws the molten metal into the die cavity. Fig. 02 Hot Chamber High pressure die casting. http://www.engineerstudent.co.uk Direct immersion in the molten bath allows for quick and appropriate mould injection, it also results in increased corrosion proneness. Due to this point, the hot-chamber die casting process is best appropriate for applications that utilize metals with low melting points and high fluidity. Good metals for the hot-chamber die casting process include lead, magnesium, zinc and copper. 2. The cold-chamber die casting process is very similar to hot-chamber die casting. With a design that emphases on minimizing machine...

...of getting a possible 3 if we roll one die, is 1/6 as the die has 6 sides and the number 3 is only in 1 side of the die. Although, if we roll two dice, the probability of getting a possible 3 in at least one die, is twice as likely to occur with a chance of 1/6 in the one die plus 1/6 on the other, which is equal to 2/6 for both dice and therefore simplified to 1/3. In the meantime, there are six conditions that the die A might get a 3 and six conditions that die B might be the same number as die A; thus one condition in both dice that they get a possible 3. The probability for the example explained is 12/36 minus 1/36, which is equal to 11/36....

...Worldview Position “THE RIGHT TO DIE” PLAW 235 Will, Trust, & Estates December 9, 2013 Katelyn J. Cash We are all going to come of an age where we face our own mortality. For many this is very scary, and often avoid planning and preparing for their impending death. Everyone has their own views, opinions and preferences as to how they wish their impending death to be handled. There are a variety of legal documents one can execute to assist medical professionals and family in carrying out ones wishes. However, many do not want life prolonging measures utilized at their time of death. A life prolonging procedure is a treatment, procedure, or intervention that uses mechanical or artificial means to restore, sustain, or replace a bodily function that without the person’s life would cease. Susan Herskowitz, Wills, Trusts, and Estate Administration 146 (4th e.d. 2014) This becomes an issue of controversy as many view making these kinds of designations and choosing how you want your life ending time to occur. So many ask do we have a right to die. Should we be allowed to choose our life ending measures? Some would argue no, one does not have the right to choose their life ending measures, while others argue yes, you should as it is your life, and you are the keeper of it. Where this become an issue is when you are facing death, often times you aren’t able to make such decisions, therefore, they are left to that of family and medical professionals. We shall also look at...

...Advances in Metal Forming Research at the Center for Precision Forming - Industry/University Cooperation – T. Altan, P. Sartkulvanich, N. Kardes The Center for Precision Forming (CPF), The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, USA Abstract The demand for application for lightweight materials such as Ultra/Advanced High Strength Steels (U/AHSS), aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys and boron steels in automotive industry is increasing to reduce vehicle weight and increase crash performance. The use of these relatively new materials requires advanced and reliable techniques to a) obtain data on material properties and flow stress, b) predicting springback and fracture in bending and flanging, c) selecting lubricants and die materials/coatings for stamping and forging and d) designing tools for blanking and shearing. In addition, designing the process and tooling for a) hot stamping of boron steels, b) warm forming of Al and Mg alloys, and c) optimizing the use of servo-drive presses require advanced Finite Element based simulation methods. CPF is conducting R&D in most of these topics and also in many hot and cold forging related topics. This paper gives an overview of this research and discusses how the research results are applied in cooperation with industry. Keywords: Metal Forming, Sheet metal, Forging, FEM 1 INTRODUCTION The Center for Precision Forming (CPF) has been established with funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and a number of companies (www.cpforming...

...subject of great moral interest to many when it comes to the right to die. Who has the right to decide when a life should be ended? When should an individual have the choice in determining their final day or days? Is it right to help another kill themselves? These are just a few of many unanswered questions based on justification of morality. Although many offer their opinions and beliefs to these types of questions, the fact still stands that many disagree on the matter of euthanasia being morally right. With this thought in mind, John Hardwig’s article, “Is There a Duty to Die?” (178-88) sheds a little light to these questions. For instance, “Hardwig argues there is a duty to die that goes beyond refusing life-prolonging treatment,” and “In some cases this duty may require one to end one’s life, even in the absence of any terminal illness, and even if one would prefer to live” (178). I totally disagree with these beliefs of Hardwig. After reading all the readings, I found myself in disgust with Hardwig’s article the most because of my Christian beliefs. I believe that God has our days numbered and only He should have the right to decide when we should die. God gave life to us so why should we have the right to take it or participate in taking another’s? Although Hardwig creates a strong case for the duty to die, I view things a lot differently than he does. First, John Hardwig’s, “Is There a Duty to Die?” (178-88) elaborates on the different viewpoints of euthanasia. For...

...Does one who kills another deserve to die? Does One Who Kills Another Deserve to Die? “Don’t get mad, get even” It’s a common rule in a heartless society. But is it right? Thomas Hobbes stated that human beings are fearful of and hostile to one another, they resent the least detriment to themselves; to their bodies, their property, their liberty or opportunities, their pride or their reputation”. (Lisa H. Newton 2004 p. 59) Under certain circumstances there are reasons why one who kills another deserves to die and there are reasons why they don’t deserve to die. There are many different philosophic views on this topic. For example; a subject that brings much debate, should an insane person that kills be killed? Retributivists say that “since he did not know what he was doing, he did not intend the crime, does not deserve to be punished” (Lisa H. Newton 2004 pg. 61. Circumstances in which a killer would deserve to die | Circumstances in which a killer would not deserve to die | * Killing someone out of hate; simply saying I just want them to be dead * Jealousy; can’t control yourself so decide to murder. It can be attention seekers, wives, husbands etc. * Money * Breaking up, divorce; For example: John Barnes stabbed his wife because she broke off their engagement. * Rapists * Pedophiles * child murderers * serial killers * racism | * Standing up for his own country; army * Psychological issues * “Accidently” ex; hitting someone with a car, a sober...
