How a Rock Band, a Recording Company, and a Nobel Laureate Developed Computed Tomography

Objectives Computed Tomography (CT) is an indispensable element of medical care used throughout the world, and first developed for clinical use by Hounsfield in 1971. The largest source of monetary support for Hounsfield’s work was from his employer, Electrical Musical Industries, Ltd. (EMI) and, in turn, the most lucrative source of income for EMI through the 1960’s was their recording contract with the English quartet, the Beatles. The purported link between the Beatles’ productive oeuvre with EMI and Hounsfield’s discovery of CT has not been well established. We endeavored to elucidate the technological and creative talents that linked Hounsfield with EMI and the Beatles and which ultimately led to one of the greatest medical innovations of the 20th century. Methods We used GoogleScholar, PubMed, and primary sources to research the life of Godfrey Hounsfield, the history of Electric and Musical Industries, Ltd (EMI), and The Beatles in reference to the development of CT. We used the EMI Archives Trust (London), and the archives of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) UK and Ireland (London). We obtained unpublished photographs courtesy of private collections. Results EMI translated its electronic prowess during WWII into the recorded music business, purchasing Capitol Records in 1955. EMI would sign The Beatles in 1963 and EMI profits rose 80% that first year. Sir Godfrey Hounsfield began a successful scientific career with EMI in 1951. With financial support from EMI’s research division, Hounsfield began developing what would become the first CT-scanner in 1967. By directing x-ray beams through the body at 1 degree angles, with a detector rotating in tandem on the other side, he could measure the x-ray attenuation of different tissues inside the body. These values were then analyzed via a mathematical algorithm to produce a 2-dimensional image of the slice of the body. Hounsfield worked with James Ambrose, a radiologist, to conduct the first clinical CT-scan at Atkinson Morley Hospital in 1971 in a patient with a brain tumor. EMI entered the medical equipment business thereafter and heavily marketed the CT-scanner using the financial resources EMI derived from its record sales. By 1976, EMI could not produce enough CT-scanners to fill demand and ultimately would cede the medical imaging business to competitors, and devote itself to the music industry. In 1979, Hounsfield, and Allen Cormack, a South African physicist who independently theorized the basis of CT imaging, would win the Nobel Prize. Conclusions ‘Let it be’ known that it was only ‘yesterday’ when a recording company, a rock band, and a radar scientist revolutionized medical imaging with the development of computed tomography.

Special Applications of Medical Tattooing: Contouring and 3D Exemplified by Tattooing of the Nailbed and the Gingiva.

Medical tattooing aims to restore the normality of skin structures in patients who have skin diseases or suffer sequelae after surgical interventions or hazards. There are numerous applications, with tattooing of vitiligo and the nipple areola complex after breast cancer surgery as leading fields. The use of 3D or realistic tattoo techniques has increased the potential of medical tattooing and improved the aesthetic results. The tattooist must have good technical training combined with artistic and creative talents. In this chapter, two innovative applications of medical tattooing will be presented as examples, i.e. tattooing of the nailbed and the gingiva. Nailbed tattooing reconstructs the normal perception of the nailbed and the nail plate when the nails have previously been removed though a surgical procedure. Tattoo of the gingiva performed after a connective tissue implant of the gum is a new application. These treatments, approved by a physician and performed by a tattooist with proven experience in medical tattooing, also involve the use of specific color nuances that produce an extremely realistic outcome.

Impact of Technological Innovation and Covid-19 on the Yangtze River Delta Region’s FDI

The Yangtze River Delta is an area in China’s lower portions of the Yangtze River that borders both the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea and contains a large number of coastal ports. Foreign direct investment (FDI) has driven the rapid development of the local economy. However, there are few studies on the impact of local technological innovation on the attractiveness of FDI. This paper examines how technical innovation affects FDI and considers if FDI might be encouraged by technological advancements made during Covid-19. This paper uses the principal component analysis method to establish the technological innovation index. The regression model is established to evaluate the impact of technological innovation and Covid-19 on Foreign direct investment (FDI). We found that technological innovation has a positive effect on FDI. At the same time, under the background of Covid-19, technological innovation is not conducive to attracting FDI. We also provide some recommendations to assist the government in fostering technological innovation. (1) The local government ought to support both homegrown and international innovation. (2) The government should also promote the development of creative talent teams and inspire scientists and technicians to work for regional businesses or launch their own ventures.

A Study on the Evaluation of Developments in the Field of HRM within the Scope of Organization Theories

In order to compel the limits of other production factors in competitive environments, there is a need for the full use of the potential of human resources and the use of human creative intelligence and talents. In this case, the organization should be able to develop a holistic understanding or culture to understand, interpret, develop and manage multifaceted, variable, complex, and diverse human behaviors. This understanding includes the human resources approach. It is seen that the evolution in human management passes through the stages of personnel management, human resources management (HRM), and strategic HRM, respectively. It is observed that various approaches in organizational theories are also effective in this development. The aim of this study is to examine the developments in the field of HRM in light of the developments in organizational theories. Organizational theories also contain different approaches within themselves. In this respect, the pioneers of each approach will be discussed and their effects on the development of HRM will be examined. It is aimed to contribute to the field literature with this study since organizational theories and the discipline of HRM have been studied separately so far and there is a lack of study in the literature for comparative consideration of these subjects.

Understanding the Dynamic Creative Clustering in the Phra Athit Road Area of Bangkok

This article examines changes along Phra Athit Road in Rattanakosin's historic center. With the support of the state, a former commercial street became a "cultural quarter" and eventually a "cultural-creative cluster," with creative activities infiltrating the neighborhoods. For this study, the researcher conducted a field survey and interviewed creative entrepreneurs in four sub-districts. The Phra Athit Road social and cultural resources reflect the qualities or potential resources of traditional neighbourhoods that have fostered the development of creative clusters. "Urban culture” is one of the district's key cultural resources that is properly understood and utilized, and its complex network of creative people is a crucial social resource. These creative people are “outsiders” with strong relationships to “insiders”; some of them advocate a new way of living, while others comprise groups of intellectuals with creative economy talents and tasks. Cultural-creative clusters comprise more than people; they are typified by cafés and bars, exhibition spaces, and the production of creative products. These clusters may vary from one another in function and location, and newer clusters, less dense than the original, are less harmful to traditional communities and businesses. What they have in common is that they have enabled participants to gain real-life experiences and join distinctive activities customized by entrepreneurs. Still, those who use external resources to create goods and develop a creative cluster may endanger the very neighbourhoods where they take root.
 The Phra Athit Road area provides a deep understanding of "creative clustering," which refers to a dynamic process that has taken place in some traditional neighbourhoods, based on the positive exploitation of their rich traditional, artistic, and cultural resources. Entrepreneurs are producing unique products that fit into complex systems, which is good for the area, but may also disrupt established patterns in the community. Transforming the historic area gradually could help locals adjust to the change. This study proposes the following approaches to promote both the protection of traditional structures and the acceptance of change: (1) The design or planning of the area should allow for development that is consistent with the rhythm of life in the area. Proper pacing of changes and the growth of well-sized creative clusters create an ecosystem that is good for both the residents and creative entrepreneurs. (2) The neighbourhood’s values should be enhanced by integrating local and external resources. The wide range of creative production and consumption activities that are created from these resources will be unique and endlessly adaptable. (3) The adaptability of cultural-creative clusters should be optimized through programs provide good services and offer support to the urban regeneration. However, such programs and support should not limit the creativity and flexibility of these clusters.

Sarojini Naidu: The Singer of Beautiful Songs

Sarojini Naidu was an Indian political activist, feminist, and poet, a proponent of civil rights, women’s emancipation, and anti-imperialistic ideas. Despite all these qualities, she was known as “The Singer of Beautiful Songs” she will always be remembered and recalled by her two names: “The Nightingale of India” and” Bharat Kokila” as Mahatma Gandhi ornamented her. The present paper is a genuine effort to reveal her personality as a singer of beautiful songs; she emerged as the very soul of India and was attached firmly to its soil. Despite all her western garb and literary affiliation with the English poets, her sensibility was “wholly native.” Blessed with remarkable creative talent, she adroitly composed charming songs with a striking note of native fervour. In this task, she fell into the tradition of Indian women writers since the Vedic age. In the tradition of Vishwavara and Ghosha, the singers of sonorous songs in Vedas of Gargie, Maitreyi, and Sulabha, the unchangeable Upanishadic debaters of Sumana, Shyama, Sumangala, Sangh Mitra, and Rajyashri.

Nec Tecum Nec Sine Te: The Inseparability of Word and Image in Virginia Woolf

This article explores the interaction of verbal and visual art in Virginia Woolf’s fiction, exemplified by her novel, To the Lighthouse. The narrative of the novel not only features scenes of the painting of the Ramsays’ portrait, but it unfolds as the creative process advances and concludes with Lily’s final stroke of her brush. While words are used to enact the process of creation, visual art serves as both a frame and a basis for the verbal. The synergistic movement of storytelling and the act of painting a picture “within the narrative” is more than an interesting instance of ekphrasis. In To the Lighthouse, words operate like pictures—according to Horace’s maxim, ut pictura poesis—and pictures work like words. Art’s resonance in the novel extends beyond depicting the process of painting. I examine Woolf’s aesthetic sensitivity and creative talent in relation to Paul Cézanne’s and Paul Klee’s art. The proximity between Woolf’s novel and the works of the two painters encourages us to view the role of shape and color in the two seemingly separate arts as the space for uncovering some vital truth about our being-in-the-word.

Ogilvy: Tips for Staying at The Cutting Edge of Media and A Vision for The Future

Ogilvy, a founder of the advertising media group, has always occupied a place in the advertising world. Its strong customer background and ingenious advertising design methods are the objects of research and exploration by many people in the advertising industry. This paper analyzes Ogilvy's strategy and explores its future development prospects. Ogilvy always adheres to the principle of "customer first," diligently manages the relationship with each customer, and strives to achieve customers' wishes perfectly. It is not only consolidating old customers but also developing potential customers so that the company can earn a steady stream of projects in the future. Ogilvy's advertisements are based on crowd research and emphasize the needs of the public so that the advertisements can have an excellent emotional resonance with the public. Ogilvy also focuses on new blood and welcomes creative talent with open arms. Due to the incentive competition in the advertising industry, Ogilvy also faces many threats and disadvantages, such as lack of market share, lack of technical personnel, and challenges to unifying marketing methods in different regions. In the face of these problems, Ogilvy can minimize the negative impact in the future if we stick to the original intention of advertising and customers and continue to find creative talents (to maximize their advantages). In the end, the metaverse and artificial intelligence will continue to develop and affect people's lives to a greater extent. As a media company, Ogilvy needs to be sensitive to the differences between AI and human types of work and accurately separate the two (let people do the work that only human beings can do). At the same time, Ogilvy should also adapt to the development of the metauniverse and accurately locate the advertising methods that are most suitable for The Times and social background. Ogilvy will remain at the advertising industry's top for the next decade if they do that.

Effects of a computer-based enrichment programme on the development of analytical and creative abilities in gifted students

Enrichment programmes are designed to offer gifted students experiences that are not covered in the regular curriculum We used a pre-test–post-test control group design to examine the effects of a computer-based enrichment programme on the development of analytical and creative abilities in 26 gifted children in an experimental group (15 boys, mean age = 10 years and 3 months) and compared this to 20 equally gifted children in a control group (8 boys, mean age = 10 years and 4 months). Students were identified as being analytically gifted, creatively gifted, or analytically-creatively gifted. In general, results showed increasing levels of analytical ability and stable levels of creative ability. In addition, hierarchical regression analyses showed a positive effect of the enrichment programme on the development of analytical abilities in children with relatively low starting levels of analytical ability (i.e. the creatively gifted students). To conclude, results suggest that rather than analytically gifted children, children with creative talents gained most advantage from participating in the computer-based enrichment programme.
