Cultural chemical literacy being able to appreciate chemistry as a major aspect of scientific endeavour. We must assume that this level implies an ability to enter into professional-level dialogue with a chemist. 

Outcomes of treatment in primary care depend on a complex set of interactions between the treatment offered, the practice of health-care professionals, the behaviour of patients, and the system of health care in which the treatment is delivered. The practice of health-care professionals and the behaviour of patients may be influenced by culture and training. Even where cultural norms. 

Around the world there are hundreds of official methods from various government and professional sources that specify ATCC microorganisms as biological RMs. The following six examples serve as examples of many organizations arotmd the world that specify ATCC microbial cultures as biological RMs ... 

As a professional act performed by a doctor, prescription occurs in a context. In the first section we analyse the institutional context (state regulation, market rules, clinical standards and population culture) the second section is dedicated to establishing a typology of policies capable of encouraging appropriate prescription, and to valuating the available knowledge on...

Because I am a successful professional, I have the means to afford elective surgery. And like Pandora s Box, once I opened the door to (20) anti-aging surgical possibilities, it seems almost impossible to close it again. In 2002, more than 1.1 million Americans had Botox injections—a procedure that erases wrinkles by paralyzing facial muscles. I find myself asking Why not me Is it time to jump on the bandwagon In a competitive culture where looks count, is it almost (25) impractical not to ... 

Historical and cultural societies. Often, they have staff who are experts in their particular fields and can provide you with professional information. 

If these places stiU do not yield experts or professionals whom you can interview, you can always check your local, national, or even an international phone book to look up any societies, museums, cultural institutions, and perhaps, even private phone numbers of potential primary source individuals. Even if a living family member of President John E Kennedy is not available for information, perhaps a famous biographer or professor would be willing to speak about the topic. There may also be a special historical association or website devoted chiefly to his presidency. 

The principles of autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice form a foundation for analysis of ethical quandaries. In addition, a comprehensive ethical analysis will include considerations of cultural and reh-gious diversity of patient-subjects, health care providers and interpersonal relationships an assessment of the profession-based duties and obligations of the health care professionals, including an examination of relevant professional oaths and codes and an analysis of relevantly similar previous bioethical dilemmas. 

In the earhest days of computer systems highly inflated estimates of the power, potential, and accuracy of systems created a strong pathos of proof. The computer says so became the rall3nng cry and defense of billing agents, government clerks, and bureaucrats the world over. As stories of enormous and humorous computer errors flooded popular culture in later years, however, a computer error became as common a punch line as the check is in the mail computer professionals fell from godlike status to a reputation probably far below the reasonable norm of accurate and reliable system function. The result was, and is, an appropriate demand for controls, even as most reviews demonstrate that those controls are preventive rather than corrective of real problems. 

Terence McKenna in The Archaic Revival thought that we should even have a deputized minority—a shamanistic professional class— whose job is to bring ideas out of the deep, black water and show them off to the rest of us. Such people would perform for our culture some of the cultural functions that shamans performed in preliterate cultures. In short, he believed that we need to cultivate a sense of mystery. Perhaps we can make use of McKenna s discovery that his dreams in which he smokes DMT allowed him to be transported to the DMTverse. This is extremely interesting because it suggests that one does not have to smoke DMT to have the experience. You only have to convince your brain that you have done this, and it then delivers this staggering altered state. ...
