The Basel Convention The Basel Convention Policy is also known as the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal. Designed to decrease the movement and disposal of hazardous waste from developed natation’s to the less developed nations, the Basel Convention is one of the most comprehensive global environmental treaties on dangerous waste. By March 2011, the global agreement boasted of 175 members, closer to its goal of universal membership. During the 1980s and 1970s, there was an environmental awareness awakening in industrialized developed nations, which was followed by the corresponding constriction of environmental regulation laws and policies. According to toVoinov Kohler (2017), increased public awareness led to increased civil resistance to the movement and disposal of hazardous waste in the developing world and Eastern Europe. The opposition became known as the Not in My Back Yard syndrome (NIMBY) that ultimately led to increased disposal costs. As a result, hazardous waste operators begun seeking cheaper waste disposal options in countries in Eastern Europe and third world countries. These regions were more suitable due to less…

Whenever this happens, the media has access to it, and all kinds of articles have bee write about it in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and the television program news programs. All analysts talk about the pros and cons and what this means for companies and individuals. The problem with this is that an author often looked at the regulation and wrote a piece about it. Then other authors start using parts of that first article and sharing parts to match their item. With the dissemination of information, the actual rules and regulations have been distorted and distorted, and whatI’ll show you in the media sometimes does not reflect the reality of the rules. There is a lot of misunderstanding about what’s going on with ObamaCare, and one of the things I’ve noticed in conversations with customers is that there are some myths that…

Are medical and nonmedical uses of large-scale genomic markers conflating genetics and race? The author in writing this paper, was trying to find out whether some of the common diseases have some genetic basis. However, according to past studies, there has been no argument that certain factors are responsible for the cause of common diseases. The author, therefore, wanted to revive this topic and focus in the genomic era where the target was to personalize and customize medical treatment based on people’s genome. So far, this topic has been under discussion, and some investigations have been made. This means that there is some progress on the issue. The author therefore highlights the progress and the possibility of its success. To begin with, the author mention HapMap, which is a project that explores the patterns of DNA sequence variation in the human genome. According to the information provided by the paper, this project is under progress. If the project becomes successful, the scientist will come up with ways of identifying genetic variants that contribute to common diseases. This project is based…
Video Consultation for Overseas Patients 1. Introduction Continuous care, especially for terminal illnesses, is essential for improving the patient’s health. The concept of teleconsultation has been proposed as a possible solution for enhancing consultation services for patients living far from the care facility. According to Deidar et al. (2016), teleconsultation refers to the use of information communication technologies to bridge the geographical gap between healthcare providers or between the healthcare provider and the patient. In an attempt to explore the efficiency of teleconsultation across international borders, I considered the position of patients in Kazakhstan and Russia seeking medical assistance from Singapore. Bridging this geographical gap using video consultations would be beneficial for both the physician and the patients (Armfield et al., 2015). A notable barrier to this alternative is cultural differences that resulted in language barriers as well as different levels of awareness and acceptance for said technologies (Legido-Quigley et al. 2014). Bali (2018) also mentions the role played by legal issues affecting the use of teleconsultation services. 1.1.Problem statement Medical tourism is continually gaining popularity as an alternative for…

The book discusses race-related issues majorly on African Americans males and the mass incarceration in America. Alexander, however, notes that discrimination among black Americans is on the minorities and socio-economically disadvantaged populations. The book majorly shows that mass incarceration is in the metaphoric world of the new Jim Crow. The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness was written by Michelle Alexander to expose the truth of racial injustice in the system of mass incarceration through the comparison of racial control. She reveals how race plays a vital role in the American Justice System. Alexander argues about the racial bias, particularly concerning African-Americans, essential in the war on drugs due to lack of political power and how the Supreme Court stomachs injustice. As much as some victims of this category of abuse took legal action and confirmed that the fight against drugs is racially unfair, their statements were overruled and ignored in court. This paper shows how…
