Harmony in health sector: a requirement for effective healthcare delivery in Nigeria

Harmony is defined as the pleasing combination of elements of a system to form an all-inclusive, all involving and more productive team. The aim of this present review was to investigate the factors militating against harmony among healthcare professional in the Nigerian healthcare delivery system. This review was carried out by searching through literature on the topic that bother on harmony among health professions in the health sector. Literature search and reports from previous studies indicates that harmony among health workers is pivotal to improving the health indices. However, available evidence suggests that unlike in the developed world, health care professionals do not collaborate well together in Nigeria because of the claim of superiority of a particular health professional over others. This has often resulted in inter-professional conflict which is threatening to tear the health sector apart to the detriment of the patients. The Nigeria health system should be based on team work. Health professionals from a variety of disciplines should work together to deliver the best possible healthcare services to all Nigerians. All members of the team are equally valuable and essential to the smooth running of hospitals. Hospitals should ideally be headed by health administrators or by a qualified member of any of the professions in the health sector.     

儒家视野中人与动物的关系与启示

儒家在考察人与动物的关系时，从天人合一的哲学出发，避免了西方哲学把人与动物视为对立两极的思维方式，从而避免了在人与动物关系问题上的诸多悖论。从天人合一的哲学思想，先秦儒家提出对动物要杀伐以时，解决了仁爱动物前提下利用动物的方法问题，而宋明儒家则把“天人合一”的哲学理念推进到一个新的境界，由此提出处理人与动物关系的一体仁心思想，解决了仁爱动物前提下利用动物的合理性问题。儒家哲学告诉人们：只要掌握好利用动物的必要限度，爱护动物和利用动物是可以并行不悖的。     

人性化护理应树立和谐理念

随着医学科学的发展,本世纪的护理管理将由经验管理、科学管理进一步向文化管理、人性化管理迈进.加强护患之间的和谐关系,是减少医患纠纷,创建安全护理环境的基础.我们只有将“和谐”理念贯穿于人性化护理中,才能广泛最充分地调动护士的积极性,不断提高护理水平.     

Learning and Liking of Melody and Harmony: Further Studies in Artificial Grammar Learning

Much of what we know and love about music is based on implicitly acquired mental representations of musical pitches and the relationships between them. While previous studies have shown that these mental representations of music can be acquired rapidly and can influence preference, it is still unclear which aspects of music influence learning and preference formation. This article reports two experiments that use an artificial musical system to examine two questions: (1) which aspects of music matter most for learning, and (2) which aspects of music matter most for preference formation. Two aspects of music are tested: melody and harmony. In Experiment 1 we tested the learning and liking of a new musical system that is manipulated melodically so that only some of the possible conditional probabilities between successive notes are presented. In Experiment 2 we administered the same tests for learning and liking, but we used a musical system that is manipulated harmonically to eliminate the property of harmonic whole‐integer ratios between pitches. Results show that disrupting melody (Experiment 1) disabled the learning of music without disrupting preference formation, whereas disrupting harmony (Experiment 2) does not affect learning and memory but disrupts preference formation. Results point to a possible dissociation between learning and preference in musical knowledge.     

性生活的新概念——＂性和谐障碍＂

对于性生活的不和谐,我们一直使用＂早泄＂这个名词,既没有准确的定义,也没有明确的诊断标准,对临床指导也局限.笔者提出用＂性和谐障碍＂这个病名来替代＂早泄＂,并从患者就诊的原因、就诊的目的、病名的定义、病因、诊断及治疗六个方面对两个病名进行了比较分析,认为：对于性伴侣之间的性生活不满意,使用＂性和谐障碍＂无论是从就诊的原因、治疗的目的、查找原因、对疾病进行定义、诊断还是治疗,都较＂早泄＂更为合适.     

略论中医基础理论中的和谐观

和谐概念是中国古代传统思想中的重要组成部分,一直贯穿在中医药学发展的始终,是中医基础理论形成的重要基础,是《黄帝内经》等中医学经典中医学思想的重要文化来源,是指导中医临床辨证论治的基本原则。和谐思想在中医分析病因病机、疾病分类、组方用药、预防养生等方面均有体现,正确的理解和运用和谐思想,对于我们理解中医基础理论、临床遣方用药都会大有裨益。     

和谐使命任务检验物资筹备

学生社团在构建高职院校和谐校园文化环境中的作用

高职院校的学生社团随着社会经济的发展和职业教育改革的深化不断壮大，逐步成为校园生活中不可或缺的主体。其发展过程反映了高职院校的校园文化环境的变迁，伴随着学生社团的不断成熟和完善，社团对职业教育改革、提升学生综合素质都产生着重大而深远的影响。重视和发展高职院校的学生社团，将其作为职业教育工作的重点，是构建和谐校园文化环境的有力措施。     

Neck motion patterns in whiplash-associated disorders: Quantifying variability and spontaneity of movement

Background

Whiplash-associated disorders have usually been explored by analyzing changes in the cervical motor system function by means of static variables such as the range of motion, whereas other behavioural features such as speed, variability or smoothness of movement have aroused less interest.

Methods

Whiplash patients (n = 30), control subjects (n = 29) and a group of people faking the symptoms of whiplash-associated-disorders (Simulators, n = 30) performed a cyclical flexion–extension movement. This movement was recorded by means of video-photogrammetry. The computed variables were: range of motion, maxima angular velocity and acceleration, and two additional variables that quantify the repeatability of a motion and its spontaneity. Two comparisons were made: Control vs. Patients and Patients vs. Simulators. At each comparison we used ANOVA to detect differences between groups and discriminant analysis to evaluate the ability of these variables to classify individuals.

Findings

Comparison between Controls and Patients showed significant reductions in the range of motion, and both the maximum of angular velocity and acceleration in the Patients. The most efficient discriminant model only included the range of motion and maximum angular velocity. Comparison between Patients and Simulators showed a significant reduction in all measured variables in the Simulators. The best classification model was obtained with maximum angular velocity, spontaneity and repeatability of motion.

Interpretation

Our results suggest that the pathological patterns differ from those of Controls in amplitude and speed of motion, but not in repeatability or spontaneity of movement. These variables are especially useful for detecting abnormal movement patterns.     

宋明时期的"天人合一"观

宋明时期的“天人合一”观,以“天人同理”为模式,以“格物穷理”为手段,使中医命门学派医家建立了“太极(命门)—阴阳—五行(脏腑)”生命模式,并以此来探索生命的起源和奥秘。对“天人合一”观不同历史时期特质的研究,有利于把握中医学理论形成的轨迹和脉络,为进一步发展中医学奠定基础。
