Sociotechnical Changes Brought about by Electronic Medical Record

This paper provides analysis of a 3-year longitudinal ethnographic study following the gradual adaptation of an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) in a community health centre in Canada. Adopting a sociotechnical perspective, I follow the EMR and the work practices as they undergo continuous modifications and I identify changes that are brought about by the EMR. Findings from this research show es...

Korean Jury Trial: Has the New System Brought About Changes?

Changes in the Fine Structure of Rat Liver Cells Brought about by Dimethylnitrosamine

Dimethylnitrosamine (DMNA) acts as a hepatic carcinogen (1) and causes an inhibition of amino acid incorporation into rat liver protein ,in vivo (2). The latter effect could also be demonstrated (3) in vitro using slices or the microsomalsoluble fraction prepared from livers of rats as early as 3 hours after intravenous administration of DMNA (50 mg./kg, body weight). The lesion appeared to be ...

Lewis Acidity/Basicity Changes in Imidazolium Based Ionic Liquids Brought About by Impurities.

We herein report on the effect that water molecules, present as impurities, in the vicinity of an ionic liquid model structure, may induce on the Lewis acidity/basicity patterns normally observed in these materials. Depending on the position and orientation of water, the Lewis acidity/basicity pattern changes from "normal distribution" (i.e., the basicity located at the anion moiety and the aci...

Rapid Changes in Permeability of Cell Membranes to Water Brought About by Carbon Dioxide & Oxygen.

on the permeability of protoplasmic membranes to water. Our experimental tissue was the hypocotyl of Helianthus annuus. We have observed the effect of such factors on the permeability of the cells toward water passing both in the inward and in the outward directions. The rate of entry of water into uniform segments of tissue is a function of A, the difference in diffusion pressure deficit (DPD)...
