E-health is a rising star that marks the collaboration of medical science and information technology, a ray of hope promising a glorious future of health and prosperity, an easy solution to rely on when in need of medical assistance. But the question arises is E-health an absolute spotless option? In this paper we question the integrity with which e-health is being practised, is the code of ethics being diligently followed? And if not then is ethical e-health entirely impossible? It is of utmost importance to encourage the motivational thinkers who have taken the initiative to provide a better and quicker solution to all health problems by integrating health services and information technology. To do so it becomes necessary to remove the barriers in the way of ethical E-health.

Since the publication of Claude Shannon’s groundbreaking paper, “A Mathematical Theory of Communication,” in two parts in the Bell Laboratory journal in 1948, understanding and research concerning communication and information has received a technicized treatment. As biosemiotics has been at the forefront in arguing, all living organisms communicate, but they do not do so in the digital mode used in information technology (IT) engineering. Life communicates in inherited, evolutionary ways that are traceable from single cells all the way to complex humans. What IT engineers call “redundancy” those studying living organisms call “meaning.” The trade between individual organisms and their environment takes place in the circulation, interpretation, and feedback loops of semiosis. In this way, organisms are able to maintain the features of adaptive, creative, and evolutionary learning systems by modeling their worlds in open, receptive fashion via the use of iconic and indexical signs. In other words, organisms make use of natural, then cultural metaphors and metonyms.

E-health has been heralded as a possible solution to reducing the major problem of preventable medical error. However, the available evidence is not strong, and there is increasing awareness that implementation of health information technology can result in error of itself. E-health has the potential to alter workflows in unpredictable ways, introduce new types of error, and change the way clinicians communicate and behave. It is necessary to educate designers and clinicians about these problems so that solutions can be created that minimize risk. Given the pace of e-health development, agreement on a broad strategy is needed now to ensure that it helps to improve safety for users of health services. The principles of patient safety should be integrated into e-health solutions so that adverse consequences are avoided.

Objetivo: Relatar a experiência de enfermeiros na utilização de uma tecnologia móvel para o cuidado de enfermagem a usuários na atenção primária e especializada durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Metodologia: Utilizou-se o método de sistematização de experiências proposto por Holliday, que possibilitou a reconstrução reflexiva da experiência coletiva vivida, por meio de cinco etapas para a explanação da experiência. Resultados: Possibilitou a elaboração de novas ferramentas para o acompanhamento de usuários atendidos pelos serviços de saúde por meio de tecnologias remotas que mediaram a assistência de enfermagem. Conclusões: O uso de tecnologia móvel possibilitou a continuidade da assistência de enfermagem durante a pandemia da COVID-19, de modo que o cuidado pode ser levado aos usuários vulneráveis, sem que houvesse o comprometimento da saúde no atual contexto epidemiológico em que a doença está em pleno processo de propagação e disseminação.Descritores: Tecnologia da Informação; Cuidados de Enfermagem; Pandemias; Infecções por Coronavírus.MOBILE TECHNOLOGY FOR NURSING CARE DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: EXPERIENCE REPORTObjective: To report the experience of nurses in the use of mobile technology for nursing care for users in primary and special care during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methodology: Use the method of systematization of experiments studied by Holliday, which enabled the reflexive reconstruction of the collective experience lived, through five steps for an explanation of the experience. Results: It enabled the development of new tools for monitoring users served by health services through remote technologies that mediate nursing care. Conclusions: The use of mobile technology makes it possible to recover nursing care during a COVID-19 pandemic, the way care can be taken to vulnerable users, without interruption or health compromise in the current epidemiological context in which the disease is in progress full process of propagation and dissemination.Descriptors: Information technology; Nursing care; Pandemics; Coronavirus infections.TECNOLOGÍA MÓVIL PARA LA ATENCIÓN DE ENFERMERÍA DURANTE LA PANDEMIA COVID-19: INFORME DE EXPERIENCIAObjetivo: Informar sobre la experiencia de enfermeros en el uso de una tecnología móvil para la atención de enfermería para los usuarios de atención primaria y especial durante la pandemia de COVID-19.

Emerson’s Memory Loss is about an archive of texts documenting Emerson’s intellectual state during the final phase of his life, as he underwent dementia. It is also about the way these texts provoke a rereading of the more familiar canon of Emerson’s thinking. Emerson’s memory loss, Hanlon argues, contributed to the shaping of a line of thought in America that emphasizes the social over the solipsistic, the affective over the distant, the many over the one. Emerson regarded his output during the time when his patterns of cognition transformed profoundly as a regathering of focus on the nature of memory and of thinking itself. His late texts theorize Emerson’s experience of senescence even as they disrupt his prior valorizations of the independent mind teeming with self-sufficient conviction. But still, these late writings have succumbed to a process of critical forgetting—either ignored by scholars or denied inclusion in Emerson’s oeuvre. Attending to a manuscript archive that reveals the extent to which Emerson collaborated with others—especially his daughter, Ellen Tucker Emerson—to articulate what he considered his most important work even as his ability to do so independently waned, Hanlon measures the resonance of these late texts across the stretch of Emerson’s thinking, including his writing about Margaret Fuller and his meditations on streams of thought that verge unto those of his godson, William James. Such ventures bring us toward a self defined less by its anxiety of overinfluence than by its communality, its very connectedness with myriad others.

This chapter introduces yet another European ‘repossession’ of Virgil that generally remains outside the scope of most volumes on translation and reception. Skoie focuses on three Norwegian translations of Virgil’s Eclogues and analyses the way they exhibit tendencies towards two complementary processes that have been labelled, in recent theories of translation, as ‘domestication’ and ‘foreignization’; and they do so as the language of translation becomes politicized and engaged in debates about Norwegian identity. Skoie explores the use of Virgilian pastoral idiom in a foreign language and the juxtaposition between rural and urban voices in the context of language politics.

The financing of STD outpatient clinics in The Netherlands is currently undergoing structural changes. Because these changes also have implications for the infrastructure of STD care as a whole, the STD committee of the Dutch Society for Dermatology and Venereology (STD committee NVDV) and the National Society of Municipal Health Services (GGD-Nederland) are currently exploring the possibilities and feasibility of intensified regional collaboration between Municipal Health Services (MHSs) and dermatologists. However, for fruitful collaboration it is essential that a substantial number of dermatologists has an interest in STD care. Therefore, the STD committee NVDV has conducted a structured survey in order to study the support of Dutch dermatologists for such a regional collaboration. In this paper, the results of the survey are presented. It appears that the majority of Dutch dermatologists is (still) interested in STD, and although a minority currently collaborates with local MHSs on a regular basis, a large group is willing to do so in the future. We conclude that the majority of dermatologists in the Netherlands (still) cares for venereology and that there is a sound basis for a fruitful cooperation with MHSs.
