...Question 4: If you were member of ABD's management team, what countries would you recommend targeting first? As a manager, you would need to justify your recommendation. A good approach is to investigate key characteristics of specific countries via globalEDGE or similar Web sites. Answer: First of all, to produce advanced biomedical devices lucratively requires high technology, biomedical engineering services at enough level, to be independent about work in process and raw materials, sufficient control-reporting, coordination and r&d activities very well. Advanced medical devices are produced by finite number companies. Accordingly products of these production is difficult and costly. Countries which have not these features must obtain the products via import. At first, we should assign the countries which have not capacity and technology to produce these products. We should focus on underdeveloped or the developing countries due to the features such as low levels of productivity, technology, capacity, insufficient information education and materials about sector. ABD's management team can export advenced biomedical devices to Azerbajian, Nakhichevan, Iraq, Algeria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia etc. And it may use Turkey as the place of manufacturing because of Turkey is in the region which is near these countries and has many advantages about technology, sufficient capacity as regards these countries. ABD can use the opportunity of location of Turkey for manufacturing, in this way it...

...John Smith Dr. Madaro University Physics I Spring 2014 Biomedical Engineering and the Future of Modern Medicine I have always been interested in math and science, but my interest developed into a fascination this year in physics class. I enjoyed being able to apply all of the laws and theories that we learned in class to real-world situations. I liked being able to figure out the distance an object traveled just by knowing the acceleration and speed, finding the vertical and horizontal components of a force, and solving for the coefficient of friction of a surface. I loved that every concept seemed to build on the one before it, and how they all helped me understand the world in a way I never had before. Whenever I think about my future, what I want to study, and how I want to make a living, I always think of engineering- a career that would allow me to develop this fascination with the way the world works and to apply my knowledge to a project that could help improve peoples' lives. I want to go into this field to develop technology that could help cure disease or improve the quality of life of those with serious medical conditions. The concepts of Physics play a crucial part in the everyday work of Biomedical Engineers, specifically in the invention of prosthetic limbs, artificial organs, and improved hearing aids. "The first artificial limbs were stiff and did not have joints that bent like real arms, hands, or legs" (Woods 40). The invention of the artificial limbs...

All have: (1) well-defined customer segment(s), (2) an understanding of customer purchase/ usage activities, and (3) sophisticated on-going analyses of their customers. Dell, Inc. Segments: • Business Market, which is further divided into: Large companies, Government, Education, Hospitals, Small Business • Consumers, specifically computer-savvy consumers Using a combination of demographics (e.g., company size, industry) and product usage characteristics gives Dell an in-depth understanding of differences in customers’ purchasing processes (importance of attributes in purchase decision) and the challenges they face in installation and use (the how/what of computer usage). Dell is a master of combining one-on-one knowledge of customers with highly quantitative sales analysis. Michael Dell, himself, estimates that he spends as much as 40% of his time with customers, understanding their problems. The structure of the organization is also designed to capture customer knowledge, with sales and support teams assigned to particular customer segments. Constant monitoring of sales data is also a powerful tool for understanding customers, which allows Dell to adjust product to demand in real time. IKEA Segments: ...

...Lyndsey Kessler English 4A 24th Nov. 2014 Mrs. Nills Biomedical Technology: Today’s Experiments Tomorrow’s Medicine I am sure you have heard of mammograms and MRIs, but did you know that they are a part of biomedical technology? Biomedical technology is any medical imaging device or a medical practice that involves biology or technology. Some people do not believe in biomedical technology because they say it had not been proven safe or effective, but it has already saved lives. This is why biomedical technology should be used in medical practices My first reason is that biomedical technology could help save many lives. This technology has the potential to cure many diseases, one example is that scientists have found that stem cells can become a wide variety of specialized cells, this could help cure Alzheimer’s. They also have the potential to help people that are paralyzed. Biomedical technology has already found ways to detect and cure many life threatening diseases. With mammograms and MRIs doctors can detect breast cancer along with other diseases much faster than they have been able to in the past. This could potentially help cure those who are diagnosed. My second reason is that biomedical technology can increase treatment options. Since mammograms and MRIs help detect diseases sooner there are many different ways to treat these diseases some of which may not be as severe. For example instead of doing radiation for cancer right away you could undergo surgery to...

...The Case of Scott Starson Biomedical Ethics Group 6 February 26th, 2013 The decision to treat any patient by force poses many questions. There are very few occasions where one might imagine treating a competent person in defiance of his or her express wishes. The moral principle of respect for autonomy coupled with statutes that protect patient rights forbid forced treatment. Yet there remain medical professionals who have disagreed with a patient’s choice and take the matter to court. When considering patient rights it’s important to define the difference between refusing a blood transfusion for religious reasons and refusing medications that affect one’s mental health. A case that highlights the difficulty of determining competence is that of Scott Starson. Starson, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, was committed to a psychiatric hospital after having uttered death threats. There, he refused any medication for his disorder as he claimed it would ruin his career as a theoretical physicist. This was a decision that professionals disagreed with. However, the Supreme Court of Canada deemed Mr. Starson competent and able to make his own medical decisions. The main topic of concern is whether doctors should be allowed to impose treatment on a competent patient. Firstly, I will argue the point that every individual should have the right to choose their own medical treatments. Conversely, that those who suffer with a mental health issue cannot always appreciate and...

...It has been dominant for so many years and extends life expectancy regardless of its achievements the biomedical model has many implications as it marginalising the importance of social factors such as poor working conditions, poverty and discrimination that does not promote good health and has a narrower view of health, therefore, ignoring the possibility of social factors that can affect and be a cause of ill health (Germov, n.d.2011).This model can’t be used to tackle health issues such as smoking which has a dramatic relationship with many diseases, at one point it seems that the causal factors are all biology but the question that really arises is what causes the host to have lung cancer? The medical model continues continues to show the lack of development of a cure for COPDs such as smoking.(Marmot,2012)The medical model has slimmed down to looking down at smaller features of the human body for the cause and cure of the disease, from molecules to genes, this therapy can’t be relayed to NCDs and low income countries since they can’t afford tertiary medical technologies.(Bach, 2016).These days the health of the adolescents mostly depend on the built environment around them with lower SES leading to greater chances of exposure to sedentary behaviour therefore mental disease which is excluded from the medical model. We now had to look ahead of the biomedical models into the social model as there are more distal causes that are associated with proximal, both biological...

...Biomedical Example Marco Carter-Johnston HCS/335 Biomedical Example In this paper I will be analyzing the Mickey Mantle case involving him getting a liver transplant. It has been brought to my attention that Mickey has been treated differently than others with the same or similar illness due to him being a celebrity. During my analysis I will be utilizing the Seven-Step Decision model to determine the outcome of this case. I will carefully look at the case to determine if I feel as though his case was in violation of the code of ethics, what are the long and short-term consequences, whether good or bad. Look at some alternatives and values and compare them. I will also determine if the procedure was done for profit or respect for who he is. Lastly I will come up with a decision on whether or not I feel as though if the decision made was ethical or not. Determining the Facts Mickey Mantle was a famous baseball player for the New York Yankees from 1951 into the late1960’s where soon after was voted into the baseball hall of fame. With several years of heavy drinking it began to take a toll on his health that resulted in cirrhosis, hepatitis and cancer of his liver. Over time his liver began to get worst and doctors told him that he has to have a liver transplant soon or he was going to die. The hunt was on for a liver for mantle, but there is a waiting list for those who are in need of a transplant and it can take up to 130 days before his doctors get a response...

...My name is Dominique McLeod and I reside in Atlanta, Georgia. I am one of four children, the child of two loving parents, God-fearing, a genuine person, and most importantly striving to be the leader I am destined to be. Attending college has never been just an option; it was a must. That is why I am making every effort to make that come true. “Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.” This quote by American Scholar Warren Bennis, plainly states the goal of a true leader. A true leader has a goal, a vision as Bennis put it. The task set before that leader is to make the vision come true (a reality) by any means necessary. There are certain qualities needed to make sure the vision is successfully turned into a reality. Hard work, dedication, and perseverance are the three main qualities among many that act as a catalyst to the leader’s vision. When these qualities are put into action, the impossible becomes the possible and as Warren Bennis put it, the vision becomes a reality. One obstacle, that in my life I classified as the impossible, was attending the first charter school of Gwinnett County, The Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, & Technology. Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology (GSMST) is a charter school that was established in 2007. It focuses on the higher end of the academic spectrum in providing exceptional students with challenging curriculum and extensive leadership responsibilities in order to prepare the students...
