CONT

In a telemedicine system, a patient is geographically removed from the presence of a doctor or other healthcare provider. For example, the patient could be at home instead of on site at a healthcare facility. Telemedical devices enable the healthcare provider to monitor the health status of a patient and potentially diagnose and treat some medical problems without the need for the patient to travel to the healthcare facility. The use of telemedical systems has the potential to reduce the cost of healthcare, and to improve the quality of healthcare through increased patient monitoring. Various known telemedicine systems provide a device to a patient that enables the patient to transmit medical data to a doctor or healthcare provider. Some devices are configured to record biosignals, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration rates, and transmit data of the recorded biosignals to a database for later review.

Food Account Method. A record is made by a respondent of details of all quantities of food entering the household(purchase, home grown, or received over a period), usually over a period of 7 days.

OBS

No account of stock of foods is taken before or after the study period. It is a widely used method in household budget surveys. As with all dietary assessment methods, the method has both strengths and weaknesses. One main weakness is that data are confined to food brought into the home and does not include food consumed outside home.

CONT

With a computer, a modem and the right software, browsing for the latest albums might never be the same again. A growing number of databases on computer networks, known as on-line music-distribution services, allow music fans to listen to a song and even record if free of charge-all without leaving your home.

OBS

On-line music-distribution services are several evolutionary steps beyond bulletin boards. Whether you’re dialling in by modem, or hopping on to Internet via high-speed digital lines, users can tap into various "sites," browse through menus for the artists and types of music available on-line, and download (depending on your software capability) audio samples of their music for playback.

OBS

Canadians have worked in very diverse work-spaces throughout the 20th century. This photographic exhibition gives the viewer a closer look at these spaces and, more importantly, offers a perspective on the ordinary people who work within them. These people were not selected because of their fame or name, but for the ways in which they are representative of Canada and its economy, whether they are at work outdoors, underground, in a factory or in the home. These photographs were produced for many reasons : as a tool of communication; as a means for the government to promote and administer its programs; as a way for industry to advertise its achievements and thereby demonstrate corporate pride; to enable ordinary citizens to produce an historical and cultural record of a subject of personal importance to them.

Les Canadiens ont travaillé dans des lieux très diversifiés au cours du XXe siècle. Cette exposition de photographies permet de se familiariser avec ces lieux et, surtout, met en valeur les gens qui y ont travaillé. Ces gens n'ont pas été choisis en raison de leur célébrité, mais bien parce qu'ils sont représentatifs du Canada et de son économie, et ce, qu'ils travaillent en plein air, sous terre, en usine ou à la maison. Ces photographies ont été produites pour de nombreuses raisons : comme outil de communication; comme moyen pour le gouvernement de promouvoir et d'administrer ses programmes; comme façon pour l'industrie de mettre en valeur ses réalisations et d'afficher sa fierté; pour permettre aux citoyens de produire un document historique et culturel sur un sujet important à leurs yeux.

You go into a booth, listen to snippets of songs, then punch in to a keyboard the track numbers you’ve chosen. Next the digital tape machine presents you with your album. It's like a legalised version of home taping but to professional standards and at a price(Mail on Sunday, 1 Oct 1989, p. 8).
