Public Telephone

The telephone network is a complex system of switching and transmission equipment to enable any of tens and internationally hundreds of millions of telephones to be interconnected in virtually any combination. To ensure optimum performance various performance criteria have to be agreed and then monitored and controlled. This network management function has to be effective in the presence of rapid modernisation where new generations of equipment have to interwork with older generations in a manner not directly evident to the customer.

Public Telephone

A pilot trial of a low-cost telepathology system was conducted. Avideo-codec operating to the CIF standard was used to transmit pictures over the public telephone network. Twenty-seven specimens from the routine pathology workload of a district hospital were examined. The average length of time spent examining each specimen was 14 min range 2-40 . The telepathology diagnoses were judged by conventional light microscopy of the specimens, performed by the same observer at a later date, and by a different observer. For the same observer, 23 diagnoses were correct 85 by telepathology, three were acceptable 11 and one was incorrect 4 . The results were slightly worse for a different observer: 21 diagnoses were correct 78 by telepathology, five diagnoses were acceptable 19 and one diagnosis was incorrect 4 . The technique was slower than conventional dynamic telepathology such as that based on communication by ISDN or leased circuits and picture quality was poor by comparison. However, these are not necessarily disadvantages in the context of the developing world, and since only a telephone connection is required, the technique could become an important method of improving the distribution of scarce resources, such as pathology expertise.

Two sets of survey data - one from a survey of ASNE members - were combined and analyzed to determine differences between journalists and the public in support of media rights and personal rights of free speech. Results indicate that journalists are significantly more supportive than the public of both kinds of expressive rights.

Ethical Response

In his six 1983 lectures published under the title, Fearless Speech (2001), Michel Foucault developed the theme of free speech and its relation to frankness, truth-telling, criticism, and duty. Derived from the ancient Greek word parrhesia, Foucault's analysis of free speech is relevant to the mentoring of medical students. This is especially true given the educational and social need to transform future physicians into able citizens who practice a fearless freedom of expression on behalf of their patients, the public, the medical profession, and themselves in the public and political arena. In this paper, we argue that Foucault's understanding of free speech, or parrhesia, should be read as an ethical response to the American Medical Association's recent educational effort, Initiative to Transform Medical Education (ITME): Recommendations for change in the system of medical education (2007). In this document, the American Medical Association identifies gaps in medical education, emphasizing the need to enhance health system safety and quality, to improve education in training institutions, and to address the inadequacy of physician preparedness in new content areas. These gaps, and their relationship to the ITME goal of promoting excellence in patient care by implementing reform in the US system of medical education, call for a serious consideration and use of Foucault's parrhesia in the way that medical students are trained and mentored.

Civil society (civil society) as the ideal structure of society's life that is aspired to, but building a civil society is not easy. There are preconditions that must be met by the community in making it happen.

This research seeks to uncover the dangers of hoaxes in building civil society. This research uses descriptive analytical method by examining the sources of literature related to building civil society in the Industrial Revolution 4.o. This research found that the public space is a means of free speech; democratic behavior; tolerant; pluralism; and social justice can shape civil society. whereas the impact of hoax news greatly affects the way people perceive a certain issue, so that people cannot distinguish which news is real or fake news which causes them to be incited by fake news that is spread.
