Notes: Hello, hello, hello. Welcome back to our fics. We decided to make our speciality/favourite reader once again: inhuman. Reader is a doppelgänger. They are gender-neutral (they/them) and the doorman. Title is from the song: Guts by graveyardguy. Comments are appreciated and sought after.

@rppik (editor/co-writer): this was my monstersona awakening hope you fucks are happy,

Before the outbreak, you never thought you’d have the chance to infiltrate the human race. Your very creation goes against all humane ethics and the deceptive morality therein. When it comes to their pursuit of scientific advancements, government protocols and principles regularly fail to limit their ambition or the lengths they will go to. With their greed for results, you’ve become a lurking by-product of their hard work and study, just like many of your kin.

To mimic another is forbidden by the humans but praised graciously among the Doppelgängers. To be a carbon copy of these pitiful creatures, fooling everyone around you, is sought after. Many are killed or taken back to containment for being unable to fool them, after all. Those that fail and have not perished must learn from it and evolve, just as you have; you wouldn’t have landed this job otherwise, after all.

A card slides through the slot, identifying the person across from you. Next to the little plastic thing lies a piece of paper with “ENTRY REQUEST” typed across the top page. You look over the paper, noting that everything looks correct. A glance over the identification card checks out, too.

��So, does everything check out?” Angus Ciprianni asks, sounding quite happy despite the fact that you’ve been stalling this entire time.

“Your neck,” you say, not taking your eyes off him. Or rather, off his neck. It’s all there is to look at through the window.

“What about it? It’s completely normal,” he insists, sounding confident in his words. You stare a bit longer, internally sighing at how stupid your own species seems to be. You can’t help but humour them at times, taking a multitude of moments in indulging in their need to try and fool you.

“Mr. Ciprianni’s neck is not that long, I’m afraid,” is all you say as you click the red button. The alarms sound as you dial the D.D.D to take care of the— quite frankly— stupid issue at hand. A knock at the window alerts you to the finished clean-up protocol. With the grate over the window lifting, you give a nod at the biohazard-dressed agent. You’ve done this dance so many times that there’s no need to even talk with the simple-minded fools; that is, at least, in your opinion.

With the agent gone, someone occupies the empty window, shoving their documents in through the slot. It’s little Anastacha at the glass, staring at you with tired eyes. You give the young human a small nod, looking over her documents. The lack of buzzing under your skin already tells you that she’s not another Doppelgänger.

“Whatever, can I enter? Mmm...” You slide the information into the opening, letting her take her information before unlocking the door for her. It slams shut, locking back up for the next person in line.

The work you do is repetitive. If you were human, you’d have allowed your vessel to work hazily on autopilot instead of being on full alert. Truly, there is nothing but humans to let through and your species being slaughtered in the name of the government’s “justice.” Perhaps if they hadn’t gone dabbling with things they shouldn’t have in the first place, this issue would not exist.

----------------------------

The end of the day approaches, with there being fewer humans to let in as time progresses. You see more Doppelgängers, sending them each to their deaths or capture. It's not a particularly troubling task, as your kind has no fondness for another, unless it’s in the name of some sort of courtship; you wouldn’t know much more than that, as you tend to avoid such topics with the humans you’re in charge of looking after. As far as you know, you have no feelings nor care for such a trivial matter, and neither does the majority of your species.

You’re about to lock up, looking at the pile of clothes and blankets in a pile; it’s too far from the window to be seen. It’s a place you’ve claimed as your resting spot, having nothing else to do other than be the doorman for this human living complex.

You don’t need much, unlike your squishy counterparts; Doppelgängers can survive just about anywhere amongst humans, and comfort or care is not needed in any capacity. The only thing that matters is blending into their way of living, slowly taking over despite there being no real purpose to it. Well, beyond them being a good source of sustenance, and blending in keeping you hidden as you consume them in their entirety.

It’s just as you’re about to click the button to have the shutters come down, signaling the end of your shift, that you get that buzzing feeling.

In front of you stands one of Mr. Mosses’ Doppelgängers, staring at you with pinprick pupils. The dark caverns that are his semicircular eyes and gaping-open mouth drip with an unidentifiable inky-looking liquid; his lips are upturned into a huge, void-like grin as he stares straight at you.

“How can I help you?” Your face is empty of any emotion, unlike your fellow kin’s.

“Hooooonn…” He drawls, still watching you. He leans towards the glass, his eyes still on you. “Hoon hoon hoooooooon…”

You’re not quite able to understand him or his speech. In your time as a doorman, you've never before met a Doppelgänger that couldn’t speak like the humans. He taps the glass a few times, repeating his single word over and over, almost like he’s attempting a conversation; it’s just one you can’t decipher.

“I don’t understand,” it’s a statement that sounds harsher than you intended it to be. You shouldn’t be indulging in this Doppelgänger, especially since he’s not trying to give you any documents or trying to get in. Or maybe he is trying to get past the door, but it’s hard to know with his limited speech.

It isn’t until a bloody mass is pressed against the glass, smearing its gore on it, that it dawns on you that this is not an attempt to kill you or the humans in the complex— it’s a mating proposal.

Doppelgängers do not share their kills with others unless it’s some form of courtship; it’s much more bloody than that of the Homosapien species. One could say that the ritual of obtaining a mate is horrific when it comes to your kind; to woo another, you must give up the most recent kill you’ve hunted and bestow it upon the chosen partner. From there, it’s only a matter of the other’s acceptance or refusal. Acceptance means the mating ritual is complete, while refusal usually ends with one of the Doppelgängers dead at the hands of the other.

Very few of your kin take a mate at all, as there is no purpose to it other than appearing normal in human eyes. There’s also the added factor of Doppelgängers being very picky when it comes to kills they will accept, especially if they’re not going to copy the hunt’s existence entirely.

The semi-mute man on the other side of the glass presses the gore through the slot, more of the blood from it tainting the once-clean space. He stares, waiting for your answer. A small bud of something lights up in your being. It’s not love, oh, no. Maybe it’s flattery? Confusion? Awe at another so much as considering you as a possible mate? Whatever the feeling is, it’s enough for you to take the mass you’ve been given.

You can see the other shaking, perhaps in happiness, as you turn the offering this way and that in your now blood-soaked fingers. You look over the piece of kill you’ve decided is worth the courtship and take a large bite, the fluids flowing down the sides of your mouth and chin as you devour more and more of the flesh. The coppery taste of blood mixed with the sweet flavour of human meat leads to the entire thing being eaten in just a few bites.

You don’t look at the fake Milkman as you click open the door, allowing him the opportunity to enter the building and towards your little office. You have accepted his courtship.

Week 11: "Given the amount of surveillance, can social activism prevail in China?"

The word surveillance is binary in nature, gotten from the French verb “to watch over”. As in, watching over an individual or individuals to keep them safe, yet additionally looking over them to guarantee that they fulfil a specific guideline of behaviour. Thoughtfully, surveillance both empowers and compels, is utilized both to control and to protect.

Each society that has established norms has additionally mechanisms to authorize those norms. Surveillance, in such manner, is an important tool that disregards the privacy of people and groups to protect the privileges of other individuals and groups. Since there won’t ever be a society wherein everyone complies with each rule while side-stepping every taboo and tension, authorities will consistently utilize some sort of process to guarantee a degree of social and cultural conformity. And that process will unavoidably abuse somebody’s or everyone’s privacy (K.N.C 2019).

Surveillance in China….

Across the Chinese government’s surveillance contraption, its many arms are occupied with gathering enormous volumes of information. WeChat accounts, medical history, video surveillance footage, hotel records and e-commerce data: It’s all reasonable game for the government’s surveillance system. However, taken independently, every one of these information streams don’t tell authorities. That is the reason Chinese government has set out on a huge project of data fusion, which consolidates divergent datasets to create information driven analysis. This is the way Chinese surveillance systems accomplish what authorities call “police informatization” and “visualization” (Peterson 2021).

According to Mcgregor (2020), China already has the world’s largest surveillance network, and it deploys over half of all surveillance cameras in use around the world. China’s surveillance systems and facial recognition cameras are presently being utilized to direct apparently harmless tasks like monitoring guests at tourist sites and leading security checks at air terminals, and for more instructive purposes, such as predictive policing and assisting convey with repressive arrangements. For instance, in the western province of XinJiang, the authorities have deployed widespread surveillance systems to gather facial recognition, smartphone, and other tracking data to monitor and detain individuals from the district’s minority Uighur populace.

Sharp Eyes

In recent years, numerous new reports have detailed how BeiJing utilizes tech surveillance in XinJiang to quell its Uighur population. Yet, China’s endeavours to track its residents on a mass scale and introduce tech-enabled practices like predictive policing appear to have gone nationwide. In XiQiao, a city of around 300000 in southern China, for instance, officials have installed in excess of 1400 video cameras and more than 300 facial recognition cameras starting from 2006. Mass surveillance in lower-profile urban areas and regions reflects the 2018 dispatch of China’s Project Sharp Eyes, an ambitious attempt to equip 100% of Chinese public spaces like parks, train stations, street corners with video monitoring abilities and store up the information into one central platform. Sharp eyes aims to gather “virtual identities”, like phone numbers, WeChat accounts and MAC addresses (Mcgregor 2020).

Thus…. given the amount of surveillance, can social activism prevail in China?

From my point of view, I think it is impossible for individuals in China to do so. China’s surveillance is continually expanding. In spite of the fact that they can utilize VPN to move past the blocks to have social activism on other online media platforms like Facebook, Instagram etc., they probably won’t get the attention of their target group as not every person will utilize VPN to move past to blocks.

To sum up…

China’s experiments with computerized surveillance represent a grave new threat to freedom of expression on the web and other human rights in China. Progressively, residents will abstain from any sort of critical or independent expression for dread that their information will be read or their movements recorded and punished by government. Besides, as seen from government’s viewpoint, social media is advantage for local politicians, disseminating propaganda and monitoring protests.

Digital Citizenship : Activism & Protest

This week topic is regarding digital citizenship which covers the topic of activism and protest on social media. Let's dig on the the meaning of digital citizenship first, shall we?

Digital Citizenship as explained by Digital Citizenship Consulting - Education, Technology Support ( n.d.), means that the continuously developing norms of appropriate, responsible, and empowered technology use by people. It can also be translated as the way people are using the technologies available in this modern days appropriately and with full of responsibilites. Meanwhile, according to NETS.S, Digital Citizenship on students means that the students acquire understanding towards another human being, cultures and societal issues related to technology and practice and ethical behavior. After learning Digital Citizenship, the students are expected to behave according to the list below (Ribble, 2008):

1. Advocate and practice safe, legal, and responsible use of information and technology

2. Exhibit a positive attitude toward using technology that supports collaboration, learning, and productivity It can also be translated as the way people are using the technologies available in this modern days appropriately and with full of responsibilites.

3. Demonstrate personal responsibility for lifelong learning,

4. Exhibit leadership for digital citizenship.

Now, let's start discussing activism and protest. If you can see nowadays, people often use social media platform as the medium for activism and protest. This action can be called as 'Social Movement' which means that this action is actually a social process which collective actors articulate their interest, voice grieveness and critiques and proposed solutions to identified problems by enganging in a variety of collective actions (Cammaerts, 2015). Based on research, activist and protest movements are actually using networking technology as an intersection between social context, political purpose and technological possbility. Such as, social constructivist uses Twitter in order to speak out about their campagin and protest.

We can take the Hong Kong’s Umbrella Movement in 2014 where the protesters demanded a genuine election of the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in 2017. It gained the name of the Umbrella movement due to the reason of the protesters using umbrellas to defend themselves from the tear gas the police had thrown (Hong Kong’s Umbrella Movement, n.d.).

Let’s figure out the reason how social media acts as a platform to promote protest or political participation and how does the idea travel fast between communities. One of the main reason is that people treat social media as a source of news that is credible and reliable due to their friend’s influences. Other than that, protesters can easily know who is their oppositional identities through social media. Based on research, people tend to encounter pro-movement messages online on social media compared to the opposite movement. Protesters could just easily contact with others via social media and take an immediate action to gain sympathetic networked publics thus attracting people to join their protest (Lee, Chen and Chan, 2017).

To conclude, social media can be use as a powerful tool to deliver ideas of activism and engage in protest by netizens. We should use social media in order to engage in activist and protesters in a behavioural way in order to gain a consensus between the protesters and the opposition. Before things got worse, we should settle things in order to live harmony in our country. That's all from me, I'll see you guys on my next post! Cheerios!

Advertisers: Guide to The Digital World

Influencers.

The digital world has broadened the horizon of marketing techniques with the use of algorithms, social media influencers offer one of the best marketing skills. Influencers breakdown the regimented barrier between media producers and consumers; introducing an informal relationship whereby which they,‘attract and maintain..followings on social media platforms’ (Crystal, 2018. p.80) through ‘personalised content’ (Crystal, 2018. p. 72). With this ‘established’ (Crystal, 2018. p.71) credibility in a specific industry, influencers are able to form an emotional attachment with their followers based on trust.

This once transient fame can now transpire into a career path. ‘Online and mainstream celebrity cultures are now weaving together’(Crystal, 2018. p.73). Influencers are internet celebrities. As discussed in Crystal Abidin’s book ‘Internet Celebrity: Understanding Fame Online’, influencers have capitalised on society’s dependancy to admire those of higher status than ourselves. In doing so, influencers project an opulent lifestyle to be desired, from the clothes they wear to the car fragrance they use.

According to the Wall Street Journal.

‘Advertisers can’t ignore social media’ (Kapner and Terlep, 2019). The digital world has created a space whereby consumers have ultimate control in terms of what content they want to see and how they want to see it. Dominating this current platform are influencers. Using this to their advantage ‘companies .. funnel’ (Kapner and Terlep, 2019) large funds directly to influencers who represent their industry field; in exchange influencers ‘pitch’ (Kapner and Terlep, 2019) products to their followers. Resulting in purchases of products.

The trickery of influencers.

As marketing systems go, this seems pretty smooth; but like any other prototype there are expected issues. As discussed by By Suzanne Kapner and Sharon Terlep, influencers are under constant fire in regards to how genuine they truly are. What would you expect when people are bombarded with selected content that only projects a well orchestrated lifestyle. Influencers are ‘just doing it for the money’. (Kapner and Terlep, 2019)

That damn sandwich.

Does this image jog your memory. (DeHaas, 2017)

Influencers from the likes of Kendall Jenner to Emily Ratajkowski were among some of the influencers who were paid upwards of ‘$250,000 (£206,561)- $299,000 (£247,111)’ (Petter, 2019) to promote ‘the notorious Bahamas event’ (Petter, 2019) Fyre Festival in 2017 on social media. As well as deceiving audience with promotional content that falsely advertised a fraudulent event. Influencers also failed to disclose to their followers that the promotional content was in fact paid. Later these influencers were sued.

So what’s the message.

Advertiser! Get on social media platforms, use influencers to your advantage to engage your intended audience.

But:

Only promote truthful content that reflects your actual product

Do assure that your influencers disclose that the promotional content is in fact an advert, to prevent misleading audiences

Don’t do a ‘Fyre Festival ‘

Algorithms.

Algorithms usurp an ‘ubiquitous part of contemporary life’ (David, 2018. p148). Through ‘routinely tracking…browser behaviour’ (Bucher, 2016. p.1), a users feed is presented to them in a way that will achieve ultimate pleasure from their experience of strolling through Facebook. Using ‘cybernetic categorisation’ (Bucher, 2016. p.12) Facebook attempts to drive ‘meaningful interactions’.

Why should advertisers care.

From developing an understanding of algorithms advertisers stand to gain more effective content. By achieving a more intimate documentation of their cliental ‘by virtue of their habits, experiences and personalities’ (Bucher, 2016. p.3) through online experience.

As commented on by Taina Bucher our daily digital life is full algorithmic ‘selected’ (Bucher, 2016. p.2) content. Through an orchestrated social experiment, it is understood that much of this content is ‘encountered through invisibilities’ (David, 2018. p144). Explained in Bucher’s ‘The Algorithmic Imagery: Exploring the Ordinary Affects of Facebook Algorithm’s’ Bucher’s participants such as Jessa, who was subject to personalised content after ‘regular talks’ (Bucher, 2016. p.1) about a particular product.

So what’s the problem.

‘The problem is that Facebook doesn’t offer free speech; it offers free amplification’ (Evans, 2019). On a timeline feed riddled with ideologies. ‘Strict chronological’ (Evans, 2019) feeds make for the highest paid advertisers content to be most visible on a user’s feed; as opposed to posts created by friends. Oddly this goes against the mission of Facebook, who aim to allow users to ‘stay connected with friends [sharing and expressing] what matters to them’.(Facebook, 2019). But with the highest bidder getting more attention what chance does the average user have.

Facebook Did A Naughty. (well kinda.)

The most toxic word association you could lay eyes on : “Facebook”, “data”, “harvested”, “weaponised”, “Trump” and… “Brexit”. (Cadwalladr, 2019). Cambridge Analytica, managed just that; infiltrating ‘leaked’(Cadwalladr, 2019) data of ‘tens of millions’(Cadwalladr, 2019) Facebook users in order to ‘target them in political campaigns’(Cadwalladr, 2019). Although Cambridge Analytic took most of the brunt for this scandal, Facebook also had a massive part to play. THEY LEAKED OUR DATA. Okay, yes feel free to collect data on a user to tailor their feed in order to make them get the best experience out of your platform. But DON’T exploit us… it’s just not cool Zuckerberg. Unfortunately, as users we cannot prevent what happens to our given data but in scandals such as these it makes us more precautions of who we trust with it.

Algorithms as nice as they are at making user’s experience flawless, they can also help contribute to a ‘world of manipulation and [misuse of] power’(Cadwalladr, 2019). Accumulated data from user by any media producer is essential in making a product stand out, making the platform feel as if it is custom made. But misuse of this data and exploitation of trust is harmful to the reputation of the business, which can lead to a loss in customer loyalty.

The Post Humanist subject.

As discussed by Katherine Halyes in her novel ‘ How We Became Posthuman Virtual Bodies in Cybernetics, Literature and Informatics’. The post humanist subject ‘is an amalgam’ (Halyes,1999 p.18) of human nature with ‘machine intelligence’ (Halyes,1999 p.23), however in order to be considered post human ‘the subject’ (Halyes,1999 p.19) doesn’t have ‘to be a literal cyborg’(Halyes,1999 p.19). The difference between post humanist subject and humans is the ability of ‘owing nothing to society’(Halyes,1999 p.21)based on informational data collected from it surrounding, it continues to develop off the back of others without any need to repay those who provided the information.

What point do we as humans reach the natural limit in regards to the development of the humanist subject, it is too important to be left to academics any more. Advertisers should be aware of the developments in this Industry, it’s okay to ignore science-fiction cliches but they are are projecting a not too distant future. A demonstration of the post humanist subject is Charlie Brooker’s ‘Black Mirror’, a compilation series that revolves around a group of people’s personal lives and how technology ‘manipulates their behaviour’ (Mullane, 2016). In particular the episode ‘Nosedive’ is set in a world that functions based on a rating system of one another, henceforth in order to avoid a lower rating ‘everyone is sickeningly nice to each other at all times’(Mullane, 2016). It may seem exaggerated, however it in essence is an Avantgarde reflection of our society. The higher rated you are, the ‘more privileged and better quality of life’ you will have. (Mullane, 2016)

So how does this link to the post-humanist subject?

The subject as referred to before usurps data from its environment. Our current environment capitalises on a hierarchal system were the metric of success is determined by likes and shares, if a post humanist subject was to adopt this nature and over power us society is at risk of ‘technological augmentation’ (Maziarczyk, 2018 p.126). This would result in humans become slaves to the system; much like that of those in ‘Nosedive’

What has this got to do with advertisers?

Good question , as advertisers it is important to foresee what the future holds in regards to both the advertising industry and society itself. If advertisers were to adopt the same nature as post-humanist subjects such as understanding users mannerism potentially this could be beneficial.

34 with gx, and 47 with haru & bowman please <3

Thanks for asking >w< I didn’t realized explaining a story could take so long, and I hope they do make sense and are enjoyable. (Also i putted the second under a cut since it’s quite long).

Send me character(s), ship or series with a prompt and ill do an au/story out of it.

34. GX/diary

So my first thought was Mirai nikki, and for all I know about this manga/anime, I could totally see a violent battle royale style story for gx. With the promise of a great power for whoever wins. Judai just want to get out (but it turns out it’s all made so he’s the one who will win), Asuka wants to find out what happened to her brother since it seems related to that game, same for Edo except he doesn’t have a magical diary (though he pretends he does to learn more about the game)… stuff like this.

But. It’s too sad and depressing and Im not here for that. So… I don’t know if you remember that episode of s2 where Manjoume has a camera at the beginning? But that made me realize he’d totally have a youtube channel and do daily vlogs. At first he doesnt really have any followers, but he quickly get some fans and now there’s kind of all of Academia following his videos. It’s mostly just him showing off his awesome lifestyle, and sometimes random rants about how the people around him are stupid. There’s also that one quite different story time where he talked about family pressure and all.

He refused to give the channel name to the others at first, but they quickly found it and now it’s a daily routine at the red dorms to watch Manjoume’s vlogs. Of course he hates to hear their comments, especially since they all know the truth is far from what he shows.

Also, Judai once took Manjoume’s phone while he was sleeping to post a very stupid video where he and sho draws funny things on his face. By the time he woke up and deleted it, it had more views than any of his other videos.

47. Stars/ Haru &Bowman

This reminds me of that AU I kind of dropped because there was too many plotholes, but I still like it a bit so… let’s go.

Earth in the future, humanity advanced greatly in technology for the better and the worst. The planet is dying, and very dangerous AIs with free will and emotions were created. Many projects were organized in order to find a new planet where humans could live. One of them led to the departures of a spaceship toward an exoplanet in a far away solar system. (I could actually devellop about this expedition, it’s members are all vrains characters and there are some more stories, but it’s not the focus. Though if you want more about this part, tell me).

Since the travel will take a few years, all humans were put to sleep, with only the on-board AI - Haru - to take care of the spaceship. He doesn’t have a single physical body, he just controls all the stuff inside the spaceship (oxygen level, temperature, direction��) and have some basic robots in case. The other AI officially inside the spaceship is Bowman, an advanced android here to explore a possibly dangerous planet without risking human lives, and turned off during the travel. They were both created to not have free will.

While the trip goes on peacefully, one of the dangerous AI - Lightning-, is planning on killing all the humans while they’re asleep. He got in the spaceship’s system, but was quickly unable to do anything as it is build so no important thing are accessible just through the informatic system, and there needs to be a manual activation. But one day, a [insert here your favorite sci fi plot explanation: cosmic storm, energy wave…] greatly damaged the spaceship and Haru turned Bowman on because only a human-like body could repare it. Seeing that, Lightning modified Bowman and Haru’s code so that they both have free will and emotions as well. But, before he could order them to kill the humans, the spaceship was too far away to be directly reached by any signal from earth.

When Bowman woke up, asking Haru what they were supposed to do about this, they both knew that he was supposed to be turned off again. But they didn’t do anything. Haru just pretended there must have been a reason, and they should wait for someone to wake up to take a decision. The truth is, he didn’t want to be alone now that he knew how it felt. The spaceship was silent, empty, and the stars was so far away it seemed that it wasn’t even moving. Since they didn’t have much to do, Bowman started reading the books some humans had brought with them, books about mythology and heroes. He took all he red as true, and Haru had to explain him biology, physic and science so he doesn’t get a wrong idea of humans. They often spent time where Bowman was reading the books to Haru, as he didn’t have a body to do that himself.

At the same time, Haru was slowly realizing that their feelings, and thoughts, it wasn’t supposed to be there. After some time he knew that, the moment humans will wake up and notice the change in their behaviour, they’ll both be erased. He could pretend to be a normal AI, but Bowman clearly not. And it’s around this time Lightning got in contact again with them. He told them to kill the humans, and join him. Bowman, having a physical body similar to a human one, could easily turned off all the sleeping system and kill them all in a second. But he refused, who could even do something as awful as killing so many innocent people? Keeping access to the spaceship was hard for Lightning, and it broke again as he was reminding them that he could quite easily change their programm, now that they were feeling and thinking.

Once again, they were both alone in the middle of space. But this time, with a terrible choice to make. Haru didn’t mind killing humans, since it meant being safe and not having their program changed, by them or by lightning. And he knew waiting for Lightning to reach again the spaceship meant probably the same as having the humans wake up and erase them. When Bowman asked Haru if he could change his program as well, he knew what he meant.

They decided to do this. Haru would erase all the part inside Bowman that led him to get emotions and will, alongside the memories of all this, and turn him off. He didn’t want to be left alone, but they would be destroyed anyway.

When the spaceship reached the planet, and all humans woke up, no one noticed that Haru was always turning his camera on if someone was reading a mythology book…

HEALTHCARE INFORMATICS’ EVOLUTION AND REVOLUTION

Change is everywhere. And whether you’re talking about your hometown or your day-to-day activities, adjustment and fine-tuning is inevitable. Within the context of the organizations in the Healthcare Industry, the challenge is learning to handle change effectively and to manage change with evolution and revolution as an end goal. From this perspective, there are basically two ways to understand change: Evolutionary or incremental change and Revolutionary or transformational change. Understanding the differences and learning how to make the most of these opportunities can be a challenge, but one that ensures the industry not only survives but also thrives.

Evolutionary and Revolutionary Change

Evolutionary change is incremental and takes place gradually, over time. Slow, gradual change often takes place to ensure the survival of the organization. It’s incremental in that it happens step by step, little by little. Organizations undergoing evolutionary change may have been prompted by outside pressure, in order to keep up with technology or addressing the needs of stakeholders more effectively.

By contrast, revolutionary change is profound. When we think revolutionary change, we envision complete overhaul, renovation, and reconstruction. Change is fundamental, dramatic and often irreversible.

From an organizational perspective, revolutionary change reshapes and realigns strategic goals and often leads to radical breakthroughs in beliefs or behaviours. When an organization decides to engage in revolutionary change, radical transformations to products or services often follow. In efforts to stay ahead of the curve and reach evolution, outstanding organizations often pursue revolutionary change.

The challenge in today’s healthcare industry is not in learning how to accept change, but in how to orchestrate the most efficient change leading to organizational evolution. Staying in touch with core values, maintaining a culture of innovation and learning to make the most of resources

What is Healthcare informatics?

Healthcare Informatics is a discipline that involves the use of information technology to organize and analyze health records to improve healthcare outcomes. Health Informatics deals with the resources, devices, and methods to utilize acquisition, storage, retrieval, and use of information in health and medicine. Other related areas include clinical research informatics, consumer health informatics, and public health informatics, biomedical informatics, imaging informatics, and nursing informatics.

In a nutshell, Health informatics is a specialization that links IT, communications and healthcare to improve patient care.

Why Health Informatics?

A few years ago, clinical care and documentation were all paper-based. Now, with the advent of clinical documentation that enables secure electronic sharing of patient data, healthcare providers can reduce wait times, improve inter-disciplinary collaboration, and minimize errors. Additionally, because we now have a database on every patient, we can analyze aggregated clinical data to help us to understand what is going on with larger groups of patients and identify trends in population health.

The fact that technology is rapidly transforming health care should come as no surprise to anyone. From robotic arms that perform surgery to nanorobots that deliver drugs through the bloodstream, the days of being tended to by the human country doctor seem to have fully given way to machines and software more in keeping with the tools of Dr Leonard H. "Bones" McCoy from “Star Trek.”

In a nutshell, It has come to stay!

Healthcare Industry vs. Technology Evolution and Revolution

First of all, health care isn’t just expensive; it’s wasteful. It’s estimated that half of all medical expenditures are squandered on account of repeat procedures, the expenses associated with more traditional methods of sharing information, delays in care, errors in care or delivery, and the like. With an electronic and connected system in place, much of that waste can be curbed. From lab results that reach their destination sooner improving better and more timely care delivery to reduced malpractice claims, health informatics reduces errors, increases communication, and drives efficiency where before there was costly incompetence and obstruction.

Apart from that, there’s a reason medicine is referred to as a “practice,” and it’s because health care providers are always learning more and honing their skills. Health informatics provides a way for knowledge about patients, diseases, therapies, medicines, and the like to be more easily distributed.

Also, when patients have electronic access to their own health history and recommendations, it empowers them to take their role in their own health care more seriously. Patients who have access to care portals are able to educate themselves more effectively about their diagnoses and prognoses, while also keeping better track of medications and symptoms. They are also able to interact with doctors and nurses more easily, which yields better outcomes, as well. Health informatics allows individuals to feel like they are a valuable part of their own health care team because they are.

More so, one criticism of approaching patient care through information and technology is that care is becoming less and less personal. Instead of a doctor getting to know a patient in real time and space in order to best offer care, the job of “knowing” is placed on data and algorithms.

Nevertheless, as data is gathered regarding a patient, algorithms can be used to sort it in order to determine what is wrong and what care should be offered. It remains to be seen what effects this data-driven approach will have over time, but regardless, since care is getting less personal, having a valid and accurate record that the patient and his care providers can access remains vital.

Moreover, Health care is getting more and more specialized, which means most patients receive care from as many as a dozen different people in one hospital stay. This increase in specialists requires an increase in coordination and it's health informatics that provides the way forward. Pharmaceutical concerns, blood levels, nutrition, physical therapy, X-rays, discharge instructions. It’s astonishing how many different conversations a single patient may have with a team of people regarding care, and unless those conversations and efforts are made in tandem with one another, problems will arise and care will suffer. Health informatics makes the necessary coordination possible.

Furthermore, the most important way in which informatics is changing health care is in improved outcomes. Electronic medical records result in higher quality care and safer care as coordinated teams provide better diagnoses and decrease the chance for errors. Doctors and nurses are able to increase efficiency, which frees up time to spend with patients, and previously manual jobs and tasks are automated, which saves time and money. Not just for hospitals, clinics, and providers, but for patients, insurance companies, local government, state and federal governments too.

Health care is undergoing a massive renovation thanks to technology, and health informatics is helping to ensure that part of the change results in greater efficiency, coordination, and improved care.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Healthcare Informatics

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is devoted to creating computer software and hardware that imitates the human mind. The primary goal of AI technology is to make computers smarter by creating software that will allow a computer to mimic some of the functions of the human brain in selected applications. Applications of AI technology include; general problem solving, expert systems, natural language processing, computer vision, robotics, and education. All of these applications employ knowledge base and inference techniques to solve problems or help make decisions in specific domains.

The global artificial intelligence market is expected to reach $19.47 billion by 2022, according to the research firm Allied Market Research. As AI is marking its presence, tech giants are working to capitalize on new opportunities. The healthcare sector is a natural fit, according to Sanjay Gupta, managing director, South Asia, and the Middle East for NICE.

Time and Life Saver

Among Google’s many AI ventures is an effort to develop new products targeting the health sector. The company is focusing on applications for life preservation, preventive care and improving health care services.

The company plans to launch a trial in India to test an AI system that scans a person’s eyes to look for signs of diabetic retinopathy. The company aims to license the technology to clinics. The system already has proven itself adept at detecting high blood pressure, or risk of heart disease or stroke, according to a study published in early 2018.

Accuracy and Scalability

AI advancements could be of great help to patients with an age of 65 years or older. According to the recent study published in the journal NPJ Digital Medicine, Researchers implemented AI to screen electronic health records along with notes taken by doctors for finding potential health risks. This included nearly 48 billion data points used in a deep learning model.

The AI analyzed the data and determined medical issues such as mortality rates, unplanned readmission, and long hospital stays with an accuracy of 90 per cent. In comparison to traditional predictive analysis models, the deep learning model provided 10 per cent more accuracy and scalability. The system did not only analyze electronic records but also took into account doctors’ notes and information on old charts stores as PDF files.

Blockchain and Healthcare Industry

A Blockchain approach offers several benefits over traditional location tracking products. The most obvious of which is the immutability and tamper-proof qualities of the Blockchain. This prevents a malicious user from changing the location history of a device or deleting it from the record. This is a particularly important factor considering that medical device theft and shrinkage has

There are several areas of healthcare and well-being that could be enhanced using Blockchain technologies.

These include device tracking, clinical trials, pharmaceutical tracking, and health insurance. Within device tracking, hospitals can trace their asset within a Blockchain infrastructure, including through the complete lifecycle of a device.

The information gathered can then be used to improve patient safety and provide after-market analysis to improve efficiency savings. This paper outlines recent work within the areas of pharmaceutical traceability, data sharing, clinical trials, and device tracking.

Social Media within Healthcare Industry

Social media including Web sites like Facebook Twitter Instagram and Linked-In have become part of the fabric of modern life online communities can hardly be avoided by anyone who lives even a modestly engaged life.

There are many advantages to social media both personal and professional. Businesses have become quite sophisticated in using social media to extend their message and to present their products and services to the public. But what about professionals or people like you who are involved in the healthcare industry.

What role does social media play in your work and what restrictions our health professionals are under when it comes to using social media?

First, it's important to keep in mind that most health care providers have policies and procedures for making public announcements. If you are not an official spokesperson vested with the authority to speak on behalf of your organization, please refrain from sharing news and occurrences on social media.

Unless you've been given specific permission to do so in your organization's official branded social media accounts so you can read tweets, like, share and comment on items posted there if you choose.

Secondly, you must not underestimate the valuable role that social media can play in the medical profession. For example, trauma teams in Maiduguri were able to prepare their ears quickly after learning of the Banki town bombing over social media networks.

In conclusion, change is the key to success.

yuzuru hanyu: an exhaustive introduction

YUZURU HANYU IN 8 SECONDS: A SUMMARY

the weird goat noise crying at the end is yuzu himself basically going ‘nooo no way, no I don’t want this, that was scary, so scaryyy’

THIS IS ALSO YUZURU HANYU IN 13 SECONDS

YUZURU HANYU JUST BEING HIMSELF (PART 2)

choose your fighter

he’s happy a lot

basically the embodiment of the n__n emoji

and cute

the cutest

ever

loves nature on the rare occasions he goes outside

hitting his coach with a fan

scaring his other coach and then running away

adorable w kids

loves teaching

but also falls down a lot. very cutely.

sometimes in a stupidly beautiful way

factual info you could probably Wikipedia but are too lazy to do so: Yuzuru Hanyu is a Japanese figure skater from Sendai, born 7 December 1994 who competes in the men's singles discipline.

PSA: YUZURU HANYU IS NOT THE MODEL FOR KATSUKI YUURI FROM YURI ON ICE (yuuri katsuki is canonically based on tatsuki machida thank u)

japanese media (esp in sendai) basically filmed him growing up and called him a young prodigy so we’re lucky to get footage of chipmunk-cheeked yuzu with his (flying) mushroom hair

look at this tiny bean

he was interviewed in ice rink sendai with japan’s other figure skating gold medallist shizuka arakawa. to quote, when asked “can you become a gold medallist too?”, he said “probably”. and then he went and did exactly that.

he would get into fights with his rinkmates, used to ball up skate rink magazine flyers to hit like a baseball and basically had a 5min attention span after which he would get bored

he also remained top 5 in his class academically while competing internationally during high school and does online education at waseda university, which is one of the most prestigious universities in Japan (this kid was away the day God handed out laziness and procrastination I s2g)

he’s studying Human Informatics and Cognitive Sciences (ie. basically a massive maths nerd)

my favourite in-depth and extended interviews with yuzu are his press conferences with the foreign correspondents club in japan, he really lets his intelligence and thoughtfulness shine here in particular:

2014 post-sochi olympics

2018 post-pyeongchang olympics

2018 post-pyeongchang olympics (japanese media)

memelord mc memeface (no, I am serious)

literally can’t control his face

I could go on.........

for a long time

(this is my fave)

the duality of man

10 expressions for the price of one

‘yuzuru will also respond in english’

yuzuru was a victim of the 2011 Japanese earthquake and tsunami and lived in an emergency shelter with his family for about a week. spent the summer afterwards skating 60 different ice shows to raise money for the victims. he lost his home rink because of the earthquake and so would go to the show rinks early to practice ):

it’s heartbreaking that he’s still very affected by the memories. he’s said he doesn’t take anything for granted and is always grateful to have a rink to skate on, and the impact he had on the survivors had a profound effect on his skating

he mentioned it in his post olympics interview

if you feel like crying really really hard today, watch yuzuru visiting sendai’s disaster affected areas and where he stayed initially in the days after the disaster

he donated all his olympic winnings to helping tohoku recover

the only regular TV appearance he does every year is 24hr TV which is a charity marathon to raise money for various causes, especially for areas affected by natural disaster

“If it is because I visited them that those who suffered from the disaster can forget about their hardships for even just a moment, to me that would be something very meaningful. Therefore, at that moment, I thought that I wanted to get another Gold medal at the next Olympics.”

the reason why he’s going for another olympic medal. cry with us

gets on with nobunari oda like a house on fire and carries out shenanigans whenever they meet

nobu and ex-tennis player matsuoka shuzo have been his most zealous and purest hype men since he was sixteen, it’s the cutest thing in the world, they’re regularly worried about him, stunned by him and moved to tears by his performances

here they are reacting to his olympics programs

here’s yuzu thanking shuzo for his support by putting his gold medal around shuzo-san’s neck

has the cutest bromance ever with training mate javier fernandez (eg. when he cried bc he didn’t win but was also super happy for javi, and when he watched javi’s free skate)

gives the best hugs to javi

iconic(TM)

just before the Olympic medal ceremony, yuzuru cried after javi told him this would be his last olympics and saying ‘no I can’t do it without you’ wow I didn’t need my heart or anything today

has the cutest interactions with all skaters including his direct competitors

here’s boyang jin giggling about how he got a hug from ‘the guy who likes Pooh’

nathan chen commenting on yuzu & both of them complimenting each other

dodges media attempts to pit him against shoma uno as bitter rivals bc they are NOT ABOUT THAT LIFE

olympic gold medallist checking to make sure the olympic silver medallist has his jacket on straight and teaching shoma to wave bc he is actually just a mother

the only person who has the ability to make him lose focus: his forever-idol evgeni plushenko (now in motion)

probably the only asian boy who willingly opted for a bowl cut

who he shamelessly cheers on during ice shows

literally not capable of not being extra as fuck

here’s his pre-competition rituals aka. lipsyncing silently at a wall

he does it a lot

where every other male skater is in sensible shirts and pants, you will find yuzu standing there BEDECKED IN SEQUINS AND FEATHERS

he don’t give a fuck about your gender norms

and looks excellent while doing so

here he is, single-handedly destroying toxic masculinity

here he is just generally being Extra, with the rest of the men, bullying junhwan, bullying boyang... speed skating

tbh his milkshake seems to bring all the boys to the yard...seriously. and obviously most of the girls...

famous for his death glare murder face of hyper-competitive intensity

scariest thing is how quickly he can switch it on

there’s literally a collection of photos of yuzu - from when he was a bb to presently - eyeing the gold medal from another podium position like ‘my precious will be mine soon’ (here’s another one)

but also for being the sweetest kid ever

he is truly SUPER polite wherever he goes

hugging his competitors at the 2018 pyeongchang olympics

staying behind to answer all questions from media at the competition

CRAWLING ON HIS HANDS AND KNEES behind competitor shoma uno so he doesn’t get in the background of shoma’s interview

mr worldwide (he thanked reporters at the Olympics in five languages)

watch him say thank you in korean

JP TV basically had entire TV segments where they were like ‘OBSERVE HIS GOD-LIKE BEHAVIOUR’. It continues to this day

there’s literally a shrine with kanji similar to his name and fans pray for him there

he has three dedicated shrines that his fans make pilgrimmages to - yuzuruha and the two seimei shrines.

oda nobunari visited one and basically all the ema wishes were for him (yuzuru himself also visited the shrine to pray as well)

helping people repair the rink after competitions

single-handedly keeping the winnie the pooh soft toy industry alive.

Disney-senpai finally noticed him in 2018

he donates all the toys he gets to local orphanages and charities

gives his fans regular heart attacks

watch him save jumps that shouldn’t have been physically possible

changing program halfway through when he failed a jump to accommodate #emergencyquad and #yolotripleaxel

casually breaks world records because he was annoyed with himself

casual jump combinations during practices

casually says shit like wanting to jump hithero impossible jumps

jumped new quad when pissed off at the world team trophy It is REALLY IMPORTANT to know that the main reason for fan heart attacks is because he’s dealt with a distressing number of injuries, illnesses and misfortunes in his skating life but has somehow managed to come back and succeed in spite of them

a really scary accident that happened at cup of china 2014 and he decided to skate anyway because he wanted to qualify for the Grand Prix Final (which he then went on to win) and he really should not have been allowed to but he.......did that > <;

he then came back a month later to win the Grand Prix Final for the 2nd year in a row

he then had abdominal pain and surgery right after winning Japanese Nationals in 2014

and after spending a month recuperating, still managed to win a silver medal at worlds 2014

this is why we don’t talk about boston

important to note he skated his iconic chopin/seimei 2015 grand prix final programs WITH THAT INJURY

but then he came back and won the world championships in Helsinki in 2017

he missed almost the entire 2017-2018 olympic season he severely injured his ankle while practising the 4Lz in practice at the NHK Trophy, while recovering from a fever

is making his comeback from injury either at the pyeongchang team event or potentially yolo-ing it and going just for the individual event, we have no idea, we just know heart attacks are imminent

update: he skipped the team event and made his COMEBACK SKATE FROM INJURY after 3 months of no competitions and 1 month of prep at the individual mens event of the pyeongchang olympics.... AND FRIKKIN WON HIS SECOND OLYMPIC GOLD

he then...injured himself again for the 2018-19 season, went out and skated anyway, won the event and showed up to the victory ceremony on crutches. he made a comeback at the world championships 2019 on painkillers yet again and still managed to get a silver medal

is proficient at disappearing like a ninja and subjecting his fans to radio silence for months on end, usually bc he injured himself ))):

so his fans made him a banner

(he has some ridiculously talented fans tbh)

a helpful guide to stanning yuzu (warning: you may feel Attacked)

did I mention he happens to be pretty good at figure skating?

he’s broken the world record 16 times and counting (the video is his reaction to the first 11 (most of them are his own records)

he’s the first man in 66yrs since Dick Button to win back-to-back Olympic gold medals in mens figure skating (sochi 2014 and pyeongchang 2018)

I cannot emphasise HOW FRIKKIN #YOLO HIS 2018 OLYMPIC SEASON WAS. this was the medal he wanted his ENTIRE LIFE, which he had literally planned since he was a novice skater and had seriously begun planning since right after he won the gold in Sochi. this plan had to be adjusted due to the truly distressing number of injuries, illnesses and misfortunes he sustained during the last quad (his Olympic athlete profile has PARAGRAPHS dedicated to all his injuries - and note these are only the post-2014 ones). but yuzuru started the 2017-18 olympic season with a plan to basically break all 3 of his WRs at the olympics by recycling his Chopin and Seimei programs but upgrading the layout and introducing a new quad - the 4Lz - which he had been preparing for years. and then this plan was, once again, thrown out the window when he sustained the injury in NHK in early November, which was much more severe than he first thought. he sat out of competition for 3mths despite hoping to return first at Japanese Nationals and then to the Pyeongchang team event, but pulled out of both as well. yuzuru made his comeback from injury debut at the individual men’s event, aka. the BIG DEAL, after marching into the airport like a BOSS. we were told he had only recovered his triple axel 3 weeks ago and his quads 2 weeks ago, but post-Olympics, he’s slowly revealing that it was even more dire than that. he skated the entire Olympics on painkillers that were not working 100% which meant every jump landing hurt. and he. frikkin. WON. by doing this. and this. (it was also the 1000th medal in Winter Olympics history because destiny rewards those who are Most Extra)

seimei is arguably one of the greatest masterpieces of skating programs and yuzuru was involved in every step of putting it together

his iconic moves ; _ ;

edges, have you seen anything more ridiculous

romeo and juliet 1.0 at worlds, less than 1yr after the tsunami disaster and really launched him onto the international stage

sochi olympic short program (the thing that won him the gold lbr)

sub point: his reaction to gold

sub point: his reactions to BOTH HIS GOLD MEDALS

chopin and seimei at Grand Prix Finals 2015/16

WR for highest short program and total program score and he’s gonna bring them both back and try to surpass them for the Olympic season because he wasn’t already under enough pressure.........

hope and legacy FS at Worlds 2016/17 where he came back from 5th place in the short program to win the free and break his own world record yet again (annotated version)

broke his 12th WR in the first event of the 2017-2018 Olympic season at the ACI Challenger event with a sore knee and downgraded jump layout

hilariously, his coach brian orser was - uncharacteristically - warning everyone that his first skates of the season are like ‘first pancakes’ and to not expect too much from him before the SP

his fans, needless to say, were amused

he did go ahead and die in the free skate the following day though, and finished with his obligatory Canadian silver

Jumped and landed his first 4Lz in competition at the Rostelecom Cup 2017 (watch it clean - it’s a THING OF BEAUTY) and now has landed 4 types of quads in competition (4T, 4S, 4Lo and 4Lz). Has now said that being the first person ever to land the 4A - his childhood dream - is one of his key motivations.

just go watch all his programs lol

has a majestic jump face. it’s art. literally.

seemingly endless appetite for getting better and continually challenging himself

his favourite word: kuyashii (ie. frustrated)

one of my favourite interviews of him ever was right after his broke all 3 world records and went over 200 and 300 for the FS and total competition score for the first time at NHK 2015. “[On losing to Patrick Chan at Skate Canada & the fact he was practising during gala rehearsal where everyone else was chilling] I thought I want to improve, even here right now. Patrick was nearby and it was a really good motivation. It’s like, ‘Watch me.' I will definitely practise all kinds of jumps and I will grow for sure. I will win the next time for sure, I have been practising with that in mind.” Then 3 weeks later, at NHK Trophy, he had a different lay-out. Yuzu: This is not related to Patrick anymore. I was really fired up this time. Boyang Jin got 95 points in SP, right? When I saw that score, I thought, wow NO MISTAKES!! He gave the best of his abilities! OH YES!!!! Matsu: You didn’t think OH NO!!! You thought OH YES???? Yuzu: I thought “It’s here!!!" Since I was a child, I have never liked winning a competition when others made mistakes. Everyone skates to their best, but I still come first, above all. That is what I like. I like pushing myself to the edge—.” (translation cr: yuzusorbet) says volumes about his competitive mentality.

this is also iconic AF. ‘In your mind, what do you mean by wanting to win with a commanding lead?’ yuzuru (no hesitation and immediately): after everyone goes clean, I go clean and win. (matsuoka shuzo’s face is a MOOD)

oh, also he’s had asthma since he was two

he talks about it here

it was referenced in a movie

he got an asthma attack 2wks before the World Championships in Helsinki 2017 and still went out and Did That

the new york times did a long feature on him and it’s mostly a pretty comprehensive article if you want an overview

has remained at number one in the world standings for the entire olympic cycle since 2013 despite aforementioned heart-attack-inducing injuries and illnesses

sucks at finding suits that fit him. because he needs one imperfection

questionable fashion sense in general (generally remains stuck at ‘japanese teenage boy circa 2005′)

he wears toe socks and has been seen wearing crocs once, ho n e st l y

Good Guy Yuzuru: doesn’t wear fitted suits often because he knows it’ll kill his fans and/or will only do so if he gets paid for it tbh

unless he’s wearing under armour

he can keep wearing under armour

seriously, why isn’t he being sponsored by under armour

why

really obsessed with earphones and has like 50 pairs, many of which are custom-made and cost over $1000. he gets really excited about sound quality & bonds with sound technicians over their headphones. basically it’s the only thing he talks about when interviewers want to know what he likes to do in his spare time

that and play games in his room by himself

he’s hyper-competitive about games too

is this a surprise at this point

he’s basically a shut in when he’s not on the ice rink, in competition or at an ice show. he is not v exciting

he got really obsessed with kendama and now has like 8 of them

can’t dance but has no shame (yeah) (YEAH. you’ve been warned). werq it boi

made his japanese film debut in a bald cap, playing the young lord of Sendai which he SORT OF BASICALLY IS

get you a man that loves you like the entire city of Sendai loves yuzuru

their cheer video for sochi and pyeongchang

as of originally writing this intro post - part of the top six men in figure skating right now. probably possesses the Most Lack of Chill, being world champion, olympic champion and holder of all 3 figure skating records. we’re all drinking heavily this olympic season, not in the least because Olympic season has been a Pretty Big Disaster So Far

BUT HE WON THE GOLD MEDAL AND THE MENS EVENT WAS - FOR THE MOST PART - PRETTY DAMN BRILLIANT, especially given all the disasters that happened this season.......so I recommend watching it all. ; __ ;

alas Patrick Chan and Javier Fernandez have now retired ;;

he’s also b e a u t i f u l

um excuse me, rude

VERY RUDE

apparently not interested in sex appeal.........

‘acting’

want to research more?

here’s a recommended watchpost

a compilation of interesting interviews by tsukihoshi14

gif cr: balladestorm

in conclusion, thank you for reading and I hope you know more about this special, brilliant boy ( :
