ACKLING GLOBAL CENSORSHIP
Last week tech companies and human rights groups launched guidelines designed to tackle censorship. Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft have all been heavily criticised for their business strategy in countries such as China. All have signed up to the new Global Network Initiative which aims to promote privacy and freedom of speech on the internet.

This article is about HSBC's pplans to keep outsorucing clerical jobs in diferent countries. This has many owrkers upset because they feel this is eliminating their jobs and putting caps on their wages. THe social and ethical issues involved are Equality of Access and Policies and Standards. There are impacts on the Bank as well. There is the economic impact, they are saving alot of money for setting up call centers they save about $20,000 - $30,000 per job it moved into the call center. There is a psycological impact the bank has to deal with and that is of their unhappy workeres in their base country. Finally there is a global impact, with more call centers the bank may be able to gain new customers in those countries. THe relevant stakeholders besides the banks are, the workers of HSBC bank, customers of the bank, politicians and media, other countries where centers are set up. This includes, India, China, Malaysia, Phillipines, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. The primary IT System are the call centers. This involves the use of WANs and LANs. There are also vairous ways in which call centers can be set up. They can use cloud computing or even be created virtually through the development of software as a service. The employee would only have to susbscirbe to a software that would allow them to work in the center, this makes it easier to receive updates as well.
S/E Issue- Reliability
Telemedicine allows a doctor to diagnose patients through a television screen by viewing the problem and listening to the patients and local doctors speak about their problem. A question of reliability comes up; to what extent can telemedicine be an accurate way for diagnosing patients?
"And if I don't need to operate, I don't need to touch the patient. If I don't need to touch the patient, I don't need to be there. I can be anywhere."
Telemedicine began here two years ago, with the realisation that most of India's specialist doctors live in a small number of large cities - but also, that most of the time, diseases do not actually require surgery.
In Bangalore India, doctors have been using telemedicine to connect to parts of rural India. Telemedicine is being used to diagnose patients and give advice as to how to deal with certain medical conditions. Many poor and illiterate people living in rural areas rely on telemedicine. Is this really as reliable?
Very old article: I wonder what is going on now.
It's hoped that from this start in Bangalore, telemedicine will grow and grow - a spectacular way of overcoming distance and time in tackling severe medical problems.

This article is about the need for OpenMRS in developing countries such as South Africa. This is necessary because it will help improve how people are treated. By knowing about someone's medical history, it can help decrease the spread of diseases such as HIV and Aids.
The issue is that there is a lack of open medical record systems in developing countries. Because of this diseases are being spread when they can easily be prevented. The thing that people were doing that gave rise to this issue is that in some countries, diseases were being spread at a faster rate then in others because of lack of background medical information. the impact that this has on people is that people in developing countries are spreading diseases at a faster rate. So diseases such as HIV and Aids are spreading in developing countries such as South Africa because of lack of medical background.
The stakeholders are patients.
The IT system is open medical record system.
The area of impact is health.
The social and ethical issue is equality of access. By having a medical record of everyone, people will be able to be treated equally because the doctor's will have their whole medical history.
Social and Ethical Issue: The issues in this article are reliability and integrity. The information that is put into the database needs to be accurate and reliable for other doctors to access. It is important for the data to be reliable because doctors need to be able to know about the other cases of malaria as well as the resources they have.
The digital maps, called Geographic Information Systems (GIS), are designed to compile information from numerous databases and use it to both track and predict outbreaks of disease.
IT System: The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is the main IT system that is being discussed in this article. IT is large database compiled from information from smaller ones.
The system has allowed health workers in Rwanda track the number of malaria cases at each health facility.
Stakeholders: The people who are being affected are the doctors who access and add information into the database, as well as the patients who are being treated.
A system of electronic mapping which allows many different types of data to be layered onto a single image is being used to improve healthcare across Rwanda.

A system of electronic mapping has been developed that allows different types of data to be layered onto a single image. It is being used to improve the health care in Rwanda. These digital maps are called Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The database is compiled of information from different doctors working on cases of malaria. This brings up the issues of reliability and integrity. The information in the database needs to be reliable enough for the doctors to use in treating patients with malaria. It affects both doctors and patients, but the patients are being affected the most because they are the ones being treated. If the information is inaccurate, the patients may be placed in dangerous situations.
he scheme was set up following the deaths of two Peruvian sailors in 2001 from malaria and is part of a wider mHealth project by the United Nations-Vodafone Foundation.
this relates to the cases study because of the possiblity of an outbreak of a disease. the lack of communication and the amount of medical supplies and training would leave the people in bad shape that may leave them in a bad state.
The US navy helped establish the product and a firm called Voxiva developed the technical aspects, under advice from Ernesto Gozzer, a doctor who specialises in public health.

"In the past if we wanted a second opinion on a patient's condition the only option would be to bring the relevant expert to Lanarkshire or transfer the child to a different hospital.
"This not only leads to delays in diagnosis, but can be stressful for the baby involved and the family who are visiting them.
