Health And Development

Life saving devices such as incubators, oxygen caps, baby warmers and constant intensive lighting can actually impede the health and development of infants. This paper discusses (a) the reasons for studying the effects of the environment on infants and the needs and problems of human development (achieving developmental tasks and deprivations affecting development); (b) the dynamics of infant environments (organizing the sensory field, socialization, and autonomy); (c) design implications and the nature of professional responsibilities. The purpose is to translate clinical and behavioral findings into terms applicable to engineering and design.

Positive Effect

Women entrepreneurs have progressively gained more space in what is mostly a man-dominated business world. However, a considerable gender gap in the likelihood of starting a business venture still exists in most countries in the world. Such gap can vary depending on the country and on its socio-cultural, legal and economic conditions among others. In this paper, Hofstede’s cultural dimensions and the Human Development Index of 55 countries are tested in order to identify what factors have a positive effect on the gender gap. Results indicate that the most influential factor is the Human Development index, meaning that the more developed a country is, the lower the gender gap in the entrepreneurship is. In addition, the results also indicate that a lower level of gender gap is also observed in rather individualistic, pragmatic and risk-adverse cultures.
