Introduction The bill number H.R.4550, named Minority Diabetes Initiative Act, was introduced in House on 27 September 2019. The bill provides the right to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to generate grants to public and nonprofit private health care institutions with the aim of providing treatment for diabetes in minority communities (Congress, 2021). The office of minority health in the USA includes Black/African American health, American Indian/Alaska native health, Asian American health, Hispanic/Latino health, and native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander health offices. Diabetes Control with H.R.4550 Public Health Bill Diabetes is a health disease that may cause significant consequences without liable medical care and treatment. According to Haire-Joshu and Hill-Briggs (2019), 1 out of 11 people in the USA is diabetics. For instance, referring to the American Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, the percentage of Hispanic adults who were diagnosed with diabetes has increased dramatically from 8.8 to12.4 during the period from 2000 to 2019 (US Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health, 2021). Taylor et al. (2017) outline a challenge caused by political interference that negatively influences the development of science, clinical training, and research. Therefore, the main objective of HHS is to ensure that grants given by the secretary are used to finance the diabetes-related health care services, “including routine care for diabetic patients, public education on diabetes prevention and control, eye care, foot care, and treatment for kidney disease and other complications of diabetes” (Congress, 2021, p.2). Furthermore, the public health grants that are established by this bill authorize health promotion and bring society into a healthy state. National diversification in H.R.4550 Public Health Bill Minority communities may experience a lower-level professional healthcare treatment or a lack of financial resources to fund better medical services. H.R.4550 Bill will help overcome this problem by developing an appropriate health programs administration that includes cultural diversification. A constant funding source gives the advantage of providing reasonable health care and controlling the state of patients with diabetes in minority communities by considering all specific national characteristics of the patient. The Minority Diabetes Initiative Act raises the voice in support of policies and regulations that ensure people’s access in minority communities to high-level medical care and treatment in case of digestive and metabolic diseases. Conclusion H.R4550 Bill confronts the humanitarian gap in the American healthcare system, w
Paradigm Shifts The development of the human society is always accompanied by the so-called paradigm shifts, observed in any sphere of activity. Liu and Hwang (2009) define the paradigm shift as the change in main ideas and views regarding the traditional theory or way of carrying out an activity. The emergence of e-business and e-commerce can be regarded as a paradigm shift in the business environment of the modern world. Organizations that develop in the newly emerged environment according to the shifted paradigm rules are considerably different from those existing in the traditional “non-e environment”. In more detail, the organizations that emerge and develop within the e-environment are characterized by the major focus of their work being on the e-business development and e-service delivery. Thus, Stroud (2002) argues that the creation of an e-business plan is one of the main factors that an organization is either born in the e-environment or tries to adjust to the conditions of the latter by transferring its main services into the e-plane (p. 146). Accordingly, the main difference between organizations initially founded in the e-environment, and those trying to enter it, is that the former have competitive advantages as they do not need to restructure their work and reassess their priorities. Drawing from this, the process of “re-thinking for the net” acquires greater importance nowadays, as the Internet becomes the most widely used resource and the companies that put emphasis in e-business area gain competitive advantages over their “traditional” rivals. Most importantly, this re-thinking concerns all modern organizations that have ambitious plans; not just those organizations whose work is directly connected with online operations. ICTs in Virtual Organizations The business environment of today gets more and more influenced by the modern technology and computerization. In this respect, scholars like Peters (2003) and Kangilaski (2008, pp. 1252 – 1253) examine the role of virtual organizations in the business development. Moreover, these scholars emphasize the significance of the idea of information and communications technologies (ICTs) in creation and managing of those virtual organizations. In particular, the idea of ICT is nowadays viewed as a powerful tool of increasing a business’ efficiency, but still ways should be found to adjust those ICTs with the business goals and traditional business methods of organiz
The Bible portrays Jesus as both 100 percent human and 100 percent God, hence having dual natures that are both complete. This has been disputed ever since the times of Jesus to today. One of the reasons identified as an explanation of His humanity is the fact that he suffered human weaknesses such as got tired and slept, got hungry and ate in Luke we are told that he even wept. These are all characteristics of human beings that God could not probably suffer. This made those who did not believe in Him to believe that he was more human than God. In the Bible we also learn of Jesus being God. This is expressed in prophesies that were made way before he was even born by prophets such as Isaiah. The prophets who prophesied His birth indicated that he would be God and those who lived during His time such as john openly identified Him as God. He also identified Himself as God which then led to a lot of criticism from the Pharisees. He forgave sins and knew people’s thoughts as well as healed people cast out demons and raised the dead. All these acts show that he had power over nature which can only be credited to God 1 . By virtue of Him being the son of God and proclaiming this Himself, it therefore means that he sure was God. Those who came after Jesus also proclaimed that he was God and in this case Paul emphasized His deity by proclaiming in His letter to the Colossians that Jesus has authority over all things and that he existed before all things were created. Jesus was a manifestation of God in an earthly form and for God to be an earthly being he had to be human. This means that the human form of Jesus was actually God. It is identified in the holy trinity that God exists in three forms which are God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Two of these forms are identified as being God the father and Jesus hence making Jesus God Himself just in another form. The fact that Jesus was both God and man means that God needed to show His love for humanity by living among human beings and going through the same experiences that humans go through. It also shows that He wanted to relate with humans on a personal note rather than be a supernatural being that humans should avoid due to fear. He needed people to believe more of Him out of reality other than just belief. This means that people would relate more to Him instead of believing in a power that they could not understand or relate to. In His incarnate form He dined with sinners and the poor, which portrays His humble
The human mind and consciousness present many challenges to researchers, and numerous studies allow them to discover different phenomena, especially in the field of self-awareness. The documentary “Human Consciousness” (2014) from BBC provides viewers with an insight into different experiments which scientists conduct to explore the aspects of the functioning of the human mind. The most notable experiment in the documentary was the mirror self-recognition test, and current research shows that it is highly influenced by sociocultural factors. Despite the fact that the mirror self-recognition test is fairly simple and does not require many resources, it enables researchers to understand the capacity of people to recognize themselves. Essentially, the aim of the mirror self-recognition test is to measure the ability of a child to be aware of themselves. The experiment takes place in accordance with three main stages, which should be strictly followed. The first stage involves letting the child approach a large mirror and spend several minutes looking at their reflection. The next move involves the parent of the child placing a small mark on the child’s cheek close to the mouth where it can be visible. The third stage implies once again placing the child in front of the mirror and allowing them to see the reflection. The child passes the test if they touch the mark, which proves that they are self-aware and can link the image of the mark visible in the reflection to the actual one on their body. The film experiment showed that children start to demonstrate the signs of self-recognition only starting at the age of 18 months. At the same time, as the current research suggests, sociocultural factors also play a major role in the ability of the child to pass the mirror self-recognition test. The study conducted by Cebioğlu & Broesch (2021) explored the cross-cultural aspect involved in the test. The purpose of the study was to establish whether children who were raised in different social and cultural had different passing rates for the mirror self-recognition test. Additionally, the research aimed at discovering whether confounding factors such as motivation had any effect on the ability of the child to pass the test. Specifically, the researchers recruited 57 infants ranging in their age from 18 to 22 months. The infants belonged to two different sociocultural environments, namely, rural Vanuatu, a small archipelago in the South Pacific, and urban Canada. In order to conduct the experiment, the researchers employed a classic form of the test and placed a mark on the face of each participant and then let them look in the mirror. The results of the study were significant and clearly demonstrated that social and cultural factors had a considerable role in the ability of children to pass the test. Specifically, the experiment showed that 68% of the children fro
Pericles was one of the leaders of Athens in the ancient Greek, who ensured that the city achieved greatness through all available means. In one of the funerals, Pericles showed that the main aim of the leaders of the city was to achieve greatness implying that leaders were not interested in self-interest but instead they aimed at raising the standards of people. Several years later, Sophocles came up with a play that reflected the views of Pericles. The play suggested that the people of Athens had to rise up to the occasion in order to ensure that the city achieves greatness. The play writer showed that the character of Oedipus was to be emulated because his main aim was to uplift the standards of living of the poor. The King was wise because he was never given leadership training yet he knew that people were suffering by paying excessive taxes. The King ensured that the city achieved greatness by doing away with some issues that would interfere with individual fulfillment. According to Sophocles in his play Oedipus the King, each Athenian had to ensure that he or she works for the good of the city. Individual interests were to be avoided at all costs if the city was to achieve greatness. During the time of Pericles, citizens were loyal to their leaders and they were proud of their city. The population believed that the King was number one among the equals. Justice was the main virtue among citizens since it protected the poor from oppression. Pericles claimed that the government of Athens was democratic because it respected the views of each individual. In other words, the Kingdom provided the fundamental rights and freedoms to its citizens. This was important if greatness was to be realized. In the Kingdom, the rule of law prevailed over dictatorship since other neighboring states exercised tyrannical form of leadership. Pericles stated, “Our form of government does not imitate the laws of neighboring states” (Sophocles 7). This meant that the government of Athens was representative and listened to the wishes and desires of the people. The form of leadership exercised in Athens was a model to other neighboring cities because its main objective was to achieve greatness. It never mattered who an individual was but what was important was greatness. This means that each person strived to do what was right and avoid evil irrespective of societal position. Dispute resolution mechanism was one of the qualities that characterized the city since each person was equal before the law. Each citizen could seek for elective leadership, as long as he or she qualified. In other words, discrimination based on social status, age, gender and ethnicity was highly discouraged. The city tolerated all forms of behaviors because the government welcomed criticisms. To achieve greatness, Pericles advised the citizens of At
Introduction Cognitive psychology basically entails the act of analyzing those complex intellectual processes which testify too many important mental structures and processes. Cognitive psychology has three main interdisciplinary fields. These includes Human factor work and information theory.   * Artificial intelligence   * Linguistics Cognitive psychology involves observation of various activities and behaviors of humans while performing intellectual tasks to making a conclusive abstract in regard o mechanisms that underlies the behavior of an individual. It basically traces the sequence of mental operations and the outcome of these operations in performing a particular task. Main text Mainly cognition in humans relates to human cultivate forms. Language cognition for it to be understood needs a logical who can be able to study and understand all aspects of language. Language cognition is always pedagogic and there are basically two reasons for not pressing for the pedagogic turn in the study of language and cognition. The first thing deals with organized fashion whereby the language domains are organized in the world of public communication and media while in other ways it can be organized in pedagogy proper. A clear definition of language states that language is something that exists in so many species but it does not exist independent of species. In order to explain linguistic theory fully, there must be a complete and systematic description of various languages. For one to build a good theory on linguistic, the theory should be built on complete account of each language. For one to have a proper account of language variation and the way various languages evolved, it can be done with accounts of various languages studies without necessarily studying individual languages. Endangered language can be saved and its culture sustained by the foundation of language archives which are meant for preserving languages. These archives also act as essential infrastructure for empirical studies of language. Finally they act as resources for utilizing language technology and engineering. Lexicon on the other hand, can be defined as a system that coordinates all mental systems. It’s very useful in language. Cognition since it helps one to understand the individual language better. Cognitive linguistic mainly takes different perspectives of laxities as discrete. Lexicon mainly comprises of highly complex and has a network which is highly elaborate network of forms. This shows an association in which each form is pained with semantic network or continuum. (Tyler, Vyvyan, 2003, pg 31). Mental Lexicon mainly presents the lexic
International affairs are one of the most important sectors that the government of the United States pays close attention to. The U.S. foreign policies require a high level of diplomacy and analysis since they affect not only Americans but other nations as well. Nowadays, there are several international issues that have the importance for the USA. Oil trade, nuclear weapons control, economic sanctions against the Russian Federation, and several military conflicts in the Middle East are some of the points on which the U.S. government is working these days. The Middle Eastern issue stands out among all others. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (widely known as ISIL) is a terroristic organization that has its principal forces concentrated in Syria and Iraq. Taking into consideration the fact that ISIL is threatening the USA directly, the U.S. Congress must take a leading role among the other government branches in developing the best strategy for tackling the issue by providing plans on military operations, partnership programs, and counter-terrorist actions. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has a destructive ideology. Being a radical Islamic organization, ISIL enforces a scenario where all non-Muslims must be eliminated along with countries that support liberal practices. The USA is one of their main ideological enemies because of their democratic principles and the popularity of Christianity. It would be wrong to think that ISIL forces are too far away to pose a threat to Americans. However, a series of hate crimes on U.S. territory, such as the December 2015 shooting in California, show that ISIL terrorists are among American citizens. As the recent Congress report states, “Elements of the group based overseas have the capability to direct, support, or conduct attacks inside the United States” (Blanchard and Humud 4). In addition, America has allies in Europe and the Middle East that suffer from terrorist attacks as well. According to the principles of partnership, the U.S. government has to provide help to these countries regarding military agreements. The U.S. government is constantly working on plans to fight the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The idea is to work in several directions to leave them without human and financial resources, gradually fighting back their territories. According to these plans, military operations are one of the key features. Sending troops to the occupied territories may seem to be a provocative act. However, it becomes logical when looked at from the position of a direct answer to the crimes committed on the U.S. territory. International partnership is another important step in fighting terror
The Internet of Things (IoT) can provide real-time visibility into the operations of warehouses and logistics providers. In addition, smart warehousing can sufficiently expand the supply chain and management possibilities (Pandian, 2019). The concept refers to the widespread connectivity of various devices and objects to enable them to collect and exchange data. This vision is expected to create new opportunities for the logistics industry to collect and transform data. The goal of this review is to analyze various methods of warehouse logistics optimization in the context of IoT implementation. In addition, this article reviews various aspects, which can be improved by IoT use, collecting information from different sources; therefore, this review is relevant to the main research. Warehouse Logistics and New Technologies Warehousing is a process of storing various goods before they would be sold. Once applying the word logistics, it will refer to the physical process of delivering or shipping the products to its end point. The rapid emergence and evolution of modern technology in the warehouse and logistics industry has caused the business model to be re-designed to fit the changes brought about by these changes. Technologies enable organizations to develop sustainable supply chains that enable effective delivery of goods across the world (Song, Yu, Zhou, Yang, & He, 2021). One example of this is the use of sensors to monitor the activities in the supply chain. In China, smart warehouses are built with upgraded structural components to make them more efficient and less costly. Doing so can help minimize errors and make the warehouse more productive (Kamali, 2019). However, according to Shukla, Jain, Chaurasia, & Venkanna (2019), these upgrades could make the work more expensive in the beginning. Due to the increasing popularity of smart warehouses, many organizations in developed countries are already considering them as a replacement for their traditional warehouses. The concept of the IoT is becoming more prevalent in the context of warehouses. The use of inventory management is being slowly, but surely integrated in IoT in order to provide relevant newest information to the network (Fang & Chen, 2021). Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are technologies that enable system management within the scope given (Buntak, Kovacic, & Mutavdzija, 2019). They allow for the monitoring and analysis of various processes and outputs within a network. The concept of the CPS is similar to the IoT in that it allows all of the physical components within a system to communicate with each other. Application and Implementation of New Technologies The evolution of logistics through the use of the IoT has brought a new level of efficiency and sustainability to operations. This concept is applicable to various aspects of logistics, such as transportation planning and management, supply chain management, and warehouse
