Abstract The purpose of this research paper will be to discuss the recent developments that have taken place in digital x-ray technology. The field of digital x-rays or radiography is one that has seen many technological advancements taking place yearly as more and more equipment is developed to provide cope with digital imaging needs. The discussion will seek to identify the various types of developments that have taken place in digital radiography and whether these developments are more efficient than the conventional forms of digital radiography. The conclusion will offer a review of the research paper’s findings and points of discussion. Introduction Digital x-ray, which is also referred to as digital radiography, is a type of x-ray imaging technology that involves using x-ray sensors in digitally enhancing, altering, or transferring images from one location to another. Digital x-rays are used as an alternative to the traditional photographic film, which was less efficient and effective in transmitting images. Digital x-rays capture images and make them readily available to the user in digital files, which can be immediately reviewed once they have been taken. Digital x-rays are mostly used in health care facilities such as clinics and hospitals to scan patients with various health complications, after which the digital images are stored as part of the patient’s medical record (James et al. 2616). Digital x-rays have enabled most health care facilities to reduce costs associated with processing, interpreting, and managing the traditional photographic film. This explains why more and more hospitals have begun to incorporate digital radiographic equipment when conducting body scans of their patients. These digital x-rays are used in two types of digital image capture devices, which include flat-panel detectors (FPDs) and the high-density line scan solid-state detectors. Digital x-rays are also used in the radiographic examination of dental patients where a film or sensor is placed in the patient’s mouth to gain a visual image of the affected dental structure. Digital radiography is a field marked by constant technological advances and innovations where different radiological equipment is developed to address the digital imaging needs of various health care facilities and their patients (McClellan and Dorn 398). Recent Developments in Digital X-rays The past two decades have seen the growth of digital radiography being used in various digital imaging ventures forcing many organizations and industries to overlook traditional film radiography in their operations. Manufacturers today have produced a variety of digital imaging products and services that incorporate the use of digital x-rays to create or produce images. The developments in digital x-ray technology have mostly taken place in digital detection technology, where images are created, scanned, archived, or stored in digital archives to allow for the easy retrieval of the images. Digital x-ray
If there is something that the English Middle Age literature is definitely famous for, these are the numerous legends about knights, beautiful damsels and King Arthur; and, one must give these legends some credit for keeping its audience well in their seats for several centuries long. However, it seems rather unfair that the legend of such a peculiar historical character as Sir Gawain has been in the shadow of more popular ones like Sir Galahad or King Arthur; just as compelling and, for that matter, more complex story of the knight who in one kind of sources is portrayed as the saving grace, and in another as a lady-killer is definitely worth taking a closer look at, which the story about Sir Gawain and the Green Knight will help in. The work belongs to the genre of poetry. Although there is no actual rhyme in the given piece, the way it is structured clearly shows that this is a poem; for instance, the line “At the head sat Bishop Baldwin as Arthur’s guest of honor” (Armitage 27) breaks, and the sentence continues on the next line; the given manner of writing is typical for poetry with obvious elements o
As the agenda evolves, more TV shows on problematic social issues emerge, touching upon such sensitive problems as sexism, harassment, inequality, racism, and so on. Reese Witherspoon’s studio new project “Little Fires Everywhere” mirrors the trend and tells a story of the clash not only of races, but mindsets, lifestyles, and value systems. In the framework of this paper, the cultural dimension of the show will be reviewed, along with the evolution of the conflict and the characters, the stereotypes about them, and their socio-cultural backgrounds. There are many issues introduced in the show from its pilot episode. Even though it could be expected that interracial relations would be the main focus, it is more likely that parenting, privilege, and class are central to it. Those expose the many mutual prejudices between Elena Richardson (upper-middle-class suburban mother of four and a part-time journalist) and Mia Warren (African-American artist/photographer, who has just moved into town) ( Little Fires Everywhere ). Elena Richardson – the perfect lawyer’s wife who chose family and life in the pastel-colored mansion over a journalistic career represents all there is to hate about public do-gooders ( Little Fires Everywhere ). The two characters meet in the first episode, when Elena rents to Mia and her daughter the unit, only to brag about her good deed later at the family dinner ( Little Fires Everywhere ). As for the problem of parenting, it unfolds later on, as Mia’s daughter Pearl and Elena’s daughter Izzy are shown to be in conflict with their mothers ( Little Fires Everywhere ). While they try to push their children to be someone they want them to be, they become even less in control of their decisions and choices. Elena’s arrogant behavior is mostly due to her social status, but it is also due to her heightened sense of universal rightness. The conflict evolves as both she and Mia believe their life choices are the only options for all, but their daughters are there to prove them wrong ( Little Fires Everywhere ). Pearl’s attraction to Elena and infatuation with her lifestyle and Izzy’s – with the lifestyle of Mia is what sets them off ( Little Fires Everywhere ). Elena trying to be the best version of a human being and offering Mia a housekeeping job as a handout also hardly helps the two characters bond ( Little Fires Everywhere ). It is essential to the problem evolution that Elena’s favorite – Lexie steals a story from Pearl to get herself into Yale ( Little Fires Everywhere ). That taking place turns the situation around, showing that the one Pearl admires so much is just an adult version of her fake friend Lexie, and that, probably, is who her mother is facing. As the parenthood issue goes beyond Elena and Mia, involving Bebe, the conflict deepens, revealing how profoundly appalling their judgments about each other’s lives are ( Little Fires Everywhere ). While the characters remain moved around, instead of developing or changing, all the viewer is left to do is watch the situation ge
Introduction In 1939 there was a recording by Coleman Hawkins in his song the Body and Soul which made inspirations to people like Charlie Parker. The other famous artists were Bud Powell, Thelonious Monk and Dizzy Gillespie. Famous pianist Art Tatum and Earl Hines, saxophonist Lester Young and Roy Eldridge who was a trumpeter, these music players were exposed to complex syncopation, harmonies, chord substitutions and altered chords. People like Louis Armstrong were against the creation of bebop because to him it was noisy and didn’t involve a lot of swinging. This led to the change of jazz music to art. The Bop made both the musicians and the audiences differentiate jazz as more of art. The musicians were not interested in the amount that the bop produces in terms of their wallets but in advancing its aesthetic qualities. (DeVeaux, 1999) Main text A music professor, DeVeaux in his book tries to show the advent of bebop in evolution and revolution schools. He continues to say that the bop music had a rejection of the status quo. This is because there was discontinuity, as there was a split between the past and the genuinely new. In evolution he said it privileged continuity but not discontinuity. He further writes that the revolution of the bop was outside the jazz tradition. This is viewed as the criticism by musicians on commercialism and against market dominance of their independence. It was also used by the African Americans as a way to show that it was black-oriented. This was prompted by musicians: Parker, monk and Gillespie. Hence, it was a black musician’s rebellion against capitalist hegemony. Through their distancing themselves from the jazz they viewed the bop as a way to have their own stable niche in future marketing of their music. (DeVeaux, 1999) Later, the artists who were associated with bop started receiving huge rewards in terms of pay and large audience. But, it later affected the musician after they diverted from the main course in terms of social mainstream and turned to drug abuse. The commonly abused drug was the heroin. Before, someone understands jazz they must have first had to listen to bebop. (Baillie, 1987) Summary Even though they were successful, the racist remarks by the people like Jim Crow made them humiliated everywhere they went and were faced with a lot of hardships, this was through exclusion from the entertainment areas as hotels and was not allowed to perform in these areas. They went to an extent that they didn’t eat at these hotels or sleep. There was also the negative effect of banning in recording that took place in 1942 which involved American Federation of Musicians. The banning which took a period
What is Robotics? Imagine an operating room with many machines and television monitors and no human surgeon. It would feel like an ET movie wherein robots operate on humans. But such a situation has become reality and is getting popular in many parts of the world. The word Robotics was coined by Isaac Asimov in 1938, in fiction. Later on, in 1958 Robots were made in real and since then they have been used for various purposes from deep-sea exploration to space travel. The first Robotic Surgery was performed in 1985. In 1992 the first Robodoc was introduced to be used in hip replacement surgery. The surgery performed by the Robodoc proved to be more precise than a conventional doctor (Faust 2006 p.8). As with a computer, precision and minimal possible errors are the highlights of using robotics in surgery. Robotic surgery is performed by a four-armed robot that permits surgeons to control the micro-actions of minute surgical gadgets through the smallest apertures in the body of the patient. Surgeons control the robot’s arms and hand from a control board away from the operating table. The robots have a jointed flexible wrist design that allows their hands to twist and bend with more dexterity than human hands, allowing the doctor to create key-hole size slits and position fine stitches accurately. Conventional open surgeries need 8-10 inch opening and can result in considerable blood loss, prolonged and painful healing, and other complications. The da Vinci surgical system is the first and one of the famous Robotics surgical systems used in the operating room. The smaller slits and superior accuracy that are achievable with the Da Vinci Surgical System decrease the risk of complications. The robotic hands hold surgical instruments and a camera with high magnification that enhances the surgeon’s visibility and presents three-dimensional scrutiny of the area where surgery is performed. Patients benefit the most due to such accuracy in robotic surgery. They do not have to endure pre and post-surgery trauma and pain since the incision is very small and has less blood loss compared to open surgery. Technology as such has developed the entire process that can be recorded and allows doctors to further analyze the patients’ response to treatment and understand the methods and procedures that are most successful. Many establishments use robots to make virtual rounds, observing the patients from their workplace and residence through telemedicine and tools that convey wellbeing at a distance. Patients can anticipate exceptional precision and a much faster recuperation with this radical technology (Ropp, 2001). Tele-robotic Surgery and Tele-mentoring – Yulan Wang, with the funding from DARPA (Defensive Advanced Research Projects Agency), developed the first computer-assisted camera which was triggered by voice for laparoscopic surgery th
Case Scenario P is a 35-years-old Latin woman with a bachelor’s degree in marketing. The woman’s family prompted this degree choice as they covered her college tuition fees under the condition that they would participate in the career decision-making process. At the time, P did not have a clear vision regarding her future, so she readily accepted her parent’s offer. Currently, she works as a data analyst in a large organization specializing in e-commerce. Given that a data analyst’s salary in the e-commerce industry is sufficient, for a long time P felt comfortable with her decision. The woman has been working in the same position and at the same company for the last eight years. Previously, she occupied a similar data analyst position, although at a smaller enterprise. P lives in Seattle with her partner and their two children. Since P’s partner is unemployed due to the global health situation, she provides for her family on her own. P sought career counseling due to growing dissatisfaction with her life, which is aggravated by the pressure she experiences as the sole wage-earner. The woman does not think that continuing to work as a data analyst for much longer will be beneficial for her mental health. At the same time, she cannot fail to support her family. Hence, the woman decided to wait before changing her career path until the situation stabilizes and her partner can find a job in the tourism industry anew. P thinks that a degree in marketing can allow her to find a less monotonous and more people-oriented job, although she is unsure what precisely she wants. The only established truth for her is that working as a data analyst already for more than a decade is no longer emotionally and career-wise satisfactory. This career counseling session is not P’s first, as she already contacted a specialist in the domain with whom she is quite disappointed. After multiple assessment tests to identify the woman’s career needs and inclinations, the previous career coach concluded that the most suitable field for P is data analysis. Although she believes that the career coach identified her needs and talents adequately, she cannot accept the conclusion. P thinks that she indeed succeeds at data analysis and that her analytical skills are right for the position as she is considered for a significant promotion. Nevertheless, the emptiness, lack of direction, and of a positive impact on the surrounding world make P feel as she misses an essential aspect of her life. Session Transcript The abstract from the career counseling session is based on a guided visualization technique. Career Coach: P, please, tak
The linguistic interaction in the classroom has long been perceived as a process of embracing monolingualism as means to promote the learning and active use of the language. However, when it comes to bilingual children, their linguistic repertoire has proven to be highly interdependent with their source and target languages. As a result, bilingual students challenged to conform to the norms of one language are deprived of the opportunity to master their linguistic skills in another language. In order to address this issue of linguistic limitation in bilingual students, the idea of translanguaging has been embraced in the classroom. Essentially, the idea of translanguaging stands for the process of enhancing knowledge of a particular language through the lens of engaging with another language. In the context of the classroom, translanguaging encourages the students to use both target and home language when expressing ideas, simultaneously creating the environment of sharing linguistic skills in both languages and educating each other without the urge for the minorities to conform to the standardized norms (Bauer et al., 2020). In such a way, by embracing the students’ knowledge in both languages, individual learners and the classroom benefit from the linguacultural exchange and critical perception of the information. The ability to implement formative language assessment with the help of translanguaging and dual-language classrooms, in particular, is beneficial to language-speech therapists. Since speech-language therapy embraces a variety of issues such as articulation, fluency, and cognitive-communication skills, it is important to realize that the monolinguistic assessment of bilingual learners is distorted and inefficient. For example, it is natural for the students to be slower and more self-conscious when communicating in the target non-native language or a standardized form of English. Hence, a formative assessment of a Latinx learner’s English language will limit their ability to communicate and perform cognitive skills. A prime example of such limitation can be the skill of counting. A bilingual English language learner (ELL) is likely to spend more time counting from one to ten in English than their monolingual English-speaking counterpart. The issue, however, will not be rooted in the cognitive impairment of the former, as their ability to count when using both target and home language can be even more efficient than counting in one of the languages (Ascenzi-Moreno, 2018). For this reason, it is critical for a speech-language pathologist to ensure that the assessment of one’s skills i
Introduction The accomplishment of judicial independence to guarantee neutrality in judicial decisions is a multifaceted undertaking. There is a variety of ways in which, the United States has required accomplishing this objective. Much depends on leading aboriginal civilization, prospects, and institutional preparations. The paper has proposed to encourage an understanding of the problems related to the significance of judicial independence, particularly in the Supreme Court, and to assist students, teachers, and professionals in the better understanding of the implementation of effective programs related to judicial impartiality in the United States. The paper is based principally on contributions from professionals in different states of the United States. The conclusions pinched from the learning have presented by these specialists were examined in a sequence of seminars, with the consequences forming the center of the paper. After the introductory section, the key processes and institutional arrangements play a crucial role in affecting judicial independence in the United States. The paper has included local and regional studies that have developed upon significant dissimilarities in traditional and lawful schemes that influence judicial independence in light of the proceedings of the Supreme Court. In addition, the paper has distinguished the requirement to construct maintenance for improvements in the Supreme Court of the United States. Resistance to these restructuring is often elevated since so much is at stake. Still, many stand to lose. Frequently the judges within the Supreme Court organization dread the collision that reforms will have on them. Sometimes, the apparition for the achievement of reforms is not widely implicated by society. At the same time, advocates are often under stress to show touchable consequences rapidly. The reform processes Maintenance of the reform process over time has been necessary to construct support for improvements from the beginning. The instance and endeavors required to perform this are generally considered, and frequently undervalued. A multinational alliance that is comprised of associates from both inside and outside the judiciary is indispensable In this regard; NGOs can play an extraordinary role in representing the voice of the people. Adjudicators are natural partners whose possession and obligations will be required for the effectual completion of improvements in the judiciary system of the Supreme Court. On the other hand, if the judiciary is not carried out into the procedure, or adjudicators are attacked by modification operations, they can become successful opponents. A victorious policy will also construct support within the political arrangement through alliances. (Friedman, pp. 23-29) Media support may be complicated for the attraction if proprietors have opposing bets, but the joining of some media winners of the reforms is significant Advertising positive cens
The article provided by Landis et al. (2021) discusses nurses’ experiences taking breaks on the night shift. I think that this article is useful because it raises an accurate topic for the professional nursing field and puts emphasis on the nurses’ health conditions. Deliberate use of relaxing work breaks, naps, and caffeine consumption are all possible fatigue reduction measures for night shift employees. Nurses, on the other hand, have regularly reported missing break opportunities, and the reasons for these missed breaks are unknown. The goal of the study by Landis et al. (2021) was to describe and understand the lived experience of night shift nurses taking breaks in hospitals, as well as the implications of this phenomenon in the workplace. Nurses who work shifts, particularly night shifts, are at risk of developing health problems as a result of their work. Even though this is a known concern, nightshift nurses do not always take restful or restorative breaks while on the job. The themes explored in the study conducted by Landis et al. (2021) are connected to the break practices of night shift registered nurses. Landis et al. (2021) have discovered that the primary objective of breaks was to eat and that breaks were significantly reliant on the nurses’ patient-care obligations. Occupational health nurses can help night shift nurses by advocating for the creation of mechanisms that encourage consistent breaks and physical locations where they can take restorative breaks away from the unit. Occupational health nurses should also think about how to reduce the health hazards for nurses who miss breaks to care for patients. Shift workers are particularly vulnerable to circadian misalignment, with night shift employees being the most vulnerable. Shift workers’ health effects are various, including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity, and psychological disorders (Landis et al., 2021). Sleep deprivation, exhaustion, dysphoric mood, accidental injury, and mortality are some of the physiological repercussions of night shift work (Landis et al., 2021). Such risks have been well-documented in the literature, and they can have a direct influence on patient care results as well as the well-being of nurses. Employers have introduced recommended practices for restricted rest intervals for all health care workers as a result of these long shifts. A break was defined as a 30-minute lunch/dinner break during an 8-hour shift for the purposes of the study (Landis et al., 2021). Breaks in the acute care or hospital workplace vary in length and are enforced inconsistently across countries and care settings. Rest breaks are currently not covered by any federal regulations, are dependent on specific state labor laws, and are only mandated in fewer than half of the states in the United States (Landis et al., 2021). The data’s primary themes show that night shift nurses do not take advantage of their breaks to the fullest extent possible in order to restore or improve their health (Landis et al., 2021). Nurses use their breaks to address their fundamental requirements
