Dear Sir/Madame, It is with much pleasure that I submit my application for a Master’s Degree Programme in â€Å"Healh and Business† starting in September 2014 at University of Eastern Finland. As for my educational background, I obtained from Highest Medical School â€Å"Aieti† on a faculty of medicine where I completed all courses in English. Currently I work as an interpreter/translator at United Water Supply Company of Georgia. I have also taught Histology to first-year international students at Petre Shotadze Medical Academy. Medicine is a tradition in my family. My great grandparents, grandparents, parents, even godfather and godmother are doctors. This is a path that I am passionate about and while being part of it, I am surrounded by amicable environment. I decided to follow the footsteps but accomplish the goal in a different manner. I would like to engage myself in activity where I would have a chance to combine and link medicine to business - the mix that explores the framework for medical management systems. While doing internship in Chemotherapy department of Klaipeda Medical Center in Lithuania, each day proposed challenging but fascinating discovery. Themes connected to organization of the hospital and service delivered to patients was especially engaging. I had read and learnt about various methods about organizing and providing service to patients but I was still thrilled as it was my first time when I actually had to perform everything myself. At the start, I encountered a lot of failures but thanks to persistence and determination I grasped the procedure and became one of best students. As a result, having participated in diverse conferences and congresses related to medicine, health management and development, I would l... ...n insurance, health and government regulations and parallel its model to ones of developed countries, propose/suggest solutions to abate the adversity of medical system. As for my financing plan for studies, I have savings specially designed for my further studies. Since the University of Eastern Finland is tuition-free, with the help of my savings from work remuneration, family and a sponsor I will be able to cover all living costs. I am interested to live in a shared apartment first of all it is more affordable and it will be easier to live with other students as it helps to overcome cultural shock while living in a foreign country. Sharing a roof with other students is also beneficial to learn more about the hosting or other countries and their culture. Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to your acceptance. Sincerely, Nino Tevzadze

Design Thinking and Innovation at Ideo

IDEO QUESTIONS. Juan Pallares 1. What is the role of prototyping in IDEO? Is it central to their process? For IDEO, prototyping is the core of its design process, and how they use it is one of their competitive advantages. IDEO believes in explaining anyt design idea with prototypes, which helps people to focus on the same idea, or to find improvements of a single design easily. Prototyping is also a better way to show the customers the design your are thinking of, and helps them to get involved with the design process, aligning both designers and customers mindsets. . Should IDEO accept the Visor Project? Why? Like everything, it depends of the needs of IDEO. Initially I would recommend not accepting the project, unless they were in need of cash. Visor project would require a design process much more tight that the one employed in IDEO, with almost no barriers to creativity and the free flow of ideas. The time and cost requirements would imply designers and brainstormers would have their ideas enclosed to the requirements, that would â€Å"orient† the ideas in one specific direction since the beginning.In a design process, that could kill the project. 3. In case they will accept, what challenges and risks are they facing? First of all, in a company where communication of ideas is key (show and tell is an example), having a secret project would reduce the source of ideas just to the ones involved in it, reducing the possible outcomes. More over, in a company where people involved in a project are the ones that are most passionate about it, forcing some people to work in a project without telling to anyone else reduce the motivation of the design team.Another challenge is the lack of testers. One of the success of the Palm V was the marketing research done by Boyle, which opened their â€Å"designers minds† to different users with broader needs, thus avoiding insider`s egocentric point of view. This would not be possible in this secret project, unl ess considering an outside marketing company for developping the research, with the increase in costs associated. Related to the project specifications, one of the big challenges would be to work with only existing and tested technologies.IDEO design process starts with product designers and engineers, and after the product is designed on its basic form, costs are considered. Working with actual technologies would reduce the â€Å"innovative† spirit of the team, and could possible lead to just a product make-up, a product similar to the existing ones but with a different shape. And the innovative image of IDEO could be damaged because of that. 4. In which cases will you outsource the product development of your company? Only in two situations I would outsource the product development of my company. First, if product design is not a crucial aspect of my industry.If I? m a manufacturer of golf balls, even if there is always room for competitive advantage through innovation, it is not a crucial fact for everyday business. Second, if the company which I will outsource my product development to, is known for its quality in terms of design/ innovation. In this case outsourcing would be a perfect strategy for my company, leaving the design to people with more expertise and recognition (it can be also a marketing tactic). Always of course, with constant monitoring of the aligning between the design and the values/image of my company.

Research Justification Autism Spectrum Disorder

Research justification: Autism Spectrum Disorder has been in existence for nearly two decades. Autism was first identified by two Austrian psychiatrists, Dr. Leo Kanner and Dr. Hans Asperger in 1940s (Phetrasuwan et al., 2009). Dr. Kanner studied a small group of eleven young children in 1943 that exhibited unusual behaviour like aloneness, temper tantrums, limited spontaneity, grammatical errors during conversations, repeating sentences or mute, repetitive routines, isolated skills, serious mindedness and named them as â€Å"early infantile Autism† (derived from the Greek word autos meaning ‘Self’) (Kanner, 1943, Wing, 1997, KITA and HOSOKAWA, 2011) . In the same year Dr. Hans Asperger submitted his thesis titled â€Å"Autistic psychopathy in childhood† which was published the following year in 1944 (Lyons and Fitzgerald, 2007). He observed a group of four children who had excellent memories (KITA and HOSOKAWA, 2011, Van Krevelen, 1971) . They had impairments like monotone speech, poor motor skills, delayed social abilities, less severe linguistic delays, ego-centric behaviours, sensitive to particular sounds, aromas, textures and touch (Attwood, 1998). This type of behaviour is termed as â€Å"Asperger’s syndrome†. Autism is a life-long disability that affects people in three different aspects of life in social interaction, social communication and social behaviour.

Essay on Abortion is Death - 1566 Words

â€Å"If we accept that a mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill each other? Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, rather, to use violence to get what they want† -- Mother Theresa If the people who have worked on finding a cure for cancer had been aborted, where would the world be at today? Abortion could be the cause of a lot of great people dying before their life even began. How would anyone know if the person was killed before given a chance? Abortion should be†¦show more content†¦The attempts at these few laws were then shut down by the Supreme Court in 1992. The Supreme Court said it went against the bills which stated the women get the last say in what happens to their body (Ballaro. Wagner). In 2006, South Dakota re-visited the legality of abortion. They created a law enforcing doctors to inform people, who want abortions, about their decision before performing it on them. In doing so these women realized what they were doing and found that it was wrong and in turn no longer wanted to do it. Then in 2009, North Dakota accepted the bill that says unborn children are proven to be people in the beginning of fertilization (Chittom). Abortion is the killing of a person no matter how it is looked at. There is nothing that makes it right, and it isn’t entirely safe for anyone involved in the procedure. There are many dangers of ending a pregnancy that can harm a human physically and emotionally (Wilson). Psychologically women express emotions of sadness, depression, guilt, anxiety, numbness and shame after realizing what they have done. These emotions can be known as â€Å"post-abortion syndrome† and can turn into a long-term problem (Chittom). These women feel these emotions because they finally have time to sit and think about what their life could have been if they kept the child and then they realize that the object they removed from their body was a person inside of them.

Using Kieran O Conors Medieval Rural Settlement in...

The Anglo-Norman period in Ireland from c. 1169 - c. 1350, like people from Europe are from different social ranks and origins. The evidence researched for this essay will help us understand and focus on can depictions of what the rural landscape in Munster looked like (OConor 2004, p. 228). In the past of archaeological research the rural landscape in Munster has been neglected for excavating urban areas in Cork, Limerick and Waterford, however, there have been a few publications on rural landscapes in research years yet evidence is still limited (OConor 2004, p. 230). In this essay the features of a manorial landscape in Anglo-Norman and Gaelic-Irish settlements in Munster. The settlements that existed in the countryside of Munster were Anglo-Irish dominated and were from the high medieval period (OConor 2004, p. 231). The land that was conquered by theses settlers was then divided into between them into estates which are called manors (OConor 2004, p. 232). In the centre of these manors resided a manorial lord most often in different types of castles. These castles divide into large masonry castles such as the Adare castle in county Limerick, or smaller masonry castles which break up into hall-houses, mottes and ringworks (OConor 2004, p. 232). These castles also had defensive features made from earth and timber (OConor 2004, p. 232) the majority of castles built by Anglo-Normans were made completely of timber and earth.

Hunting Snake and Cockroach free essay sample

The poems â€Å"Hunting Snake† and â€Å"The Cockroach† are very different but also vastly similar poems. The predominant language feature that is common in both poems is an extended metaphor – this is used in â€Å"Hunting Snake† to represent the colonisation of the Aborigines in Ancient Australia, and in â€Å"The Cockroach† to represent human nature, values and the way we live our lives. The poem â€Å"Hunting Snake† is obviously a poem about a group of people coming across a snake, staring in awe at its beauty and dissimilarity and then moving on. Wright uses a lot of sibilance in this poem, perhaps to emphasise the snake. However if we explore deeper we notice that the poem is not about this at all – in fact it has an exceptionally different meaning. The entire poem is an extended metaphor for the colonisation of the Aborigines in Australia – the snake represents the Aborigines and the persona represents the colonisers. We will write a custom essay sample on Hunting Snake and Cockroach or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page Although the colonisers saw the incredibly beautiful and unique Aborigines, they simply looked at each other and walked on – this is exactly what happens during every colonisation. The colonisers do not think about anyone else’s feelings, just their own personal or monetary gain. Hunting Snake is a poem about ancient beliefs and values, and the way that humans acted many years ago. In comparison, the poem â€Å"The Cockroach† is also one that addresses the issue of human nature and values. Kevin Halligan uses a cockroach to portray a ‘disgusting’ creature, one that many people are eager to kill and get rid of. Cockroaches also have a very nomadic lifestyle – they scurry about from place to place, never settling down and are always â€Å"on the go†. Halligan wishes for us to compare the cockroaches’ lifestyle with our own – the scampering motion of the bug is a reflection of his (and all humans’) nomadic lifestyle. By describing these frantic movements he is saying something about how most of us live our lives and our incapability to settle down – we are all in a hurry to move on to the next chapter in our lives, the next milestone, the next day, month, or year. This poem is set in modern day, it is written as if the cockroach is inside a house or a building, not outside like Hunting Snake. This technique helps to give us a better understanding of the poem – we can more easily relate it to human nature and our own lifestyles.

Pushing Through free essay sample

The only thing I can feel is my nose. And I wish I couldn’t. It’s red, frozen, and feels like it’s about to fall off. I just keep telling myself to put one foot back in front of the other. I have to. I can’t quit now because I’ve already come this far. Thirty miles. Walking for the past five days has taken a toll on my body, but months of preparation in the hills of Virginia have prepared me for an eight day, fifty mile hike in the middle of nowhere, Wyoming. I stop to take a drink and look back at how far I’ve come. I look down and see a valley between two of the largest mountains I’ve ever seen and wonder how I got up here, and how I managed to pull forty pounds on my back up the side of a mountain.

The monotony of hiking and peaceful nature of the woods throws me into the endless river of thought that flows through my mind. Hiking affords me the opportunity to ponder the many things I have learned and how I have grown. It has pushed me out of my comfort zone and into a place that I am able to grow and learn. Into a place that I learned I can do more than I had ever believed, and the euphoria felt from that knowledge is the motivation to put that foot right back in front of the other. I’ve gained discipline, self-confidence, responsibility, and a love for the natural world that God has created for me from something that has become much more than a walk through the woods to me.
