Biobanks have come to be essential apparatuses of genetic and genomic research as they are seen as essential tools for translational medicine in particular. Various unique ethical and legal challenges arise in the course of biobanking as biobanks generate a range of ethical and legal challenges related to privacy, informed consent, control and ownership, withdrawal of samples, commercialization, genomic sovereignty, return of results, incidental findings, and research governance. These issues have generated much policy debate within the international world, and yet in South Africa, debates on the ethical and legal challenges posed by biobanks and biobank networks still remain alienated. According to Wolf, biobanks are the dominant part of a “biobank research system,” consisting of primary research also known as collection sites, the biobank, and secondary research sites that access biobank data or samples for further research. Therefore, incidental findings could arise at several points in a biobank-research system, that is, in primary research, biobank research, and secondary research. Within the South African context literature and guidance are sparse on the handling of significant incidental findings which are identified in biobank systems. How incidental findings should be handled as well as the role of biobanks in enabling this process, are well-founded concerns. Unresolved in South Africa, is how to manage incidental findings of potential health, reproductive, environmental and medicinal risk that are of particular importance to individual contributors. With a proposal for a national biobank in South Africa, it is apparent that researchers as well as clinicians are anticipated to access data from biobanks and to this end, laws, clear public guidance and regulations on the handling of incidental findings are indispensable.

<p>This research study is conducted with the primary aim of exploring effective marketing strategies in times of crisis; using Turkey as a case study. The purpose of current study is to assess the crisis situation prevailed in Turkey The study focus on the crises situation in Turkey and recommend the number of different marketing strategies for Turkish companies  in order to retain their market share in crises situation.</p><p>Turkey is the growing economy however bigger challenges still persist. Current account deficits are still looming large on Turkey with financial turmoil that is striking constant troubles. These problems need to be tackled along with outgrowing the local business with the help of strategic marketing and communication’s plan to handle economic troubles, otherwise with these set of problems at hand, Turkey is likely to suffer even more in coming time.</p>The researcher has attempted to provide a number of recommended actions as suggestions that were primarily derived from a combination of secondary and primary research work undertaken within its fold. Through promoting positive features about an offered product and through converting bad promotional messages into good ones, the company can attract more customers and leads into a business. Price penetration strategy and other marketing strategies discussed that may help companies to maintain their market share in crises situation. The results of the study and the underlying survey identified the key areas of improvement in the Turkish investment climate; stating that strong regulatory frameworks, growth of the private sector and innovation policies along with employee generation are some recommended options that can go a long way in developing the markets.

Visual Patient technology is a situation awareness-oriented visualization technology that translates numerical and waveform patient monitoring data into a new user-centered visual language. Vital sign values are converted into colors, shapes, and rhythmic movements—a language humans can easily perceive and interpret—on a patient avatar model in real time. In this review, we summarize the current state of the research on the Visual Patient, including the technology, its history, and its scientific context. We also provide a summary of our primary research and a brief overview of research work on similar user-centered visualizations in medicine. In several computer-based studies under various experimental conditions, Visual Patient transferred more information per unit time, increased perceived diagnostic certainty, and lowered perceived workload. Eye tracking showed the technology worked because of the way it synthesizes and transforms vital sign information into new and logical forms corresponding to the real phenomena. The technology could be particularly useful for improving situation awareness in settings with high cognitive demand or when users must make quick decisions. This comprehensive review of Visual Patient research is the foundation for an evaluation of the technology in clinical applications, starting with a high-fidelity simulation study in early 2020.

In this study researchers content coded advertising images in traditional and nontraditional women's magazines in 1959, 1969, 1979 and 1989 to determine the impact of the feminist movement on consumer imagery. This timeframe allowed analysis from several historical vantages: 1959 (pre-feminist movement), 1969 (developing feminist ideology), 1979 (social implementation of ideology), 1989 (post feminist movement). The data were analyzed from the perspective of three major variables, the first being time (a specific decade); the second being magazine type (traditional or nontraditional women's magazines); and the third being product category. The study answers a primary research question: To what extent do ads in women's magazines (traditional and nontraditional) reflect the goals of the second feminist movement? A secondary research question is explored: Are advertising and the feminist movement incompatable, thus dooming “feminist publications” depending on ad dollars to demise?

A rapidly growing proportion of health research uses ‘secondary data’: data used for purposes other than those for which it was originally collected. Do researchers using secondary data have an obligation to disclose individual research findings to participants? While the importance of this question has been duly recognised in the context of primary research (ie, where data are collected from participants directly), it remains largely unexamined in the context of research using secondary data. In this paper, we critically examine the arguments for a moral obligation to disclose individual research findings in the context of primary research, to determine if they can be applied to secondary research. We conclude that they cannot. We then propose that the nature of the relationship between researchers and participants is what gives rise to particular moral obligations, including the obligation to disclose individual results. We argue that the relationship between researchers and participants in secondary research does not generate an obligation to disclose. However, we also argue that the biobanks or data archives which collect and provide access to secondary data may have such an obligation, depending on the nature of the relationship they establish with participants.

The number of cardiac patients and aged individuals are at a rise all around the world. Taking care of such individuals is a major challenge these days. In many cases, these patients require special care and regular monitoring of vital signs like blood pressure (BP). Focusing a prevalent idea of wireless brain-computer interface (WBCI), an innovative research work is considered to meet essential routine monitoring of BP for cardiac patients and aged people without any reliance. The research framework involves the use of wireless electroencephalogram (EEG) headset to control wrist BP and arm BP monitors to determine accurate BP readings in the proposed system. An Android application "Smart Home Monitor" is developed that screens the information from the headset. The research framework is tested on ten individuals to examine the precision in BP readings from two different BP monitors. Results specify that both upper arm blood pressure readings i.e. Systolic BP readings (SBP = 119.6 ±5.1 mmHg) and Diastolic BP (DBP = 79.5 ±7.4 mmHg) were found to be better than the wrist BP readings (SBP = 128.2 ±11.7 mmHg and DBP = 83.6 ±10.3 mmHg). This examination assessed that the designed system empowers the framework to be reliable, remote and compact.
