Questions & Answers
Question : Dissertation Help - Subject: Disability Products?
I am a mature student studying product design and am calling upon your advice. I worked as a mobility enginner before returning to education and through my travels have found that there is a huge lack of design surrounding disability aids. I would like to hear from you regarding your views on modern mobility product design, particularly multi-disability products. Do you own any disability products (stairlifts, hoists, hearing aides, etc)? do you struggle to use them? Do you think much design has been considered?
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Regards
Dan
ruth10uk2003, I totally agree with you, the hoist slings were very confusing for us to demonstrate when I used to install the systems. http://www.guldmann.com were a god company for their hoist related products and support, take a look on their website. Maybe a sling should be produced that has colour-coded tabs to align the correct holes with their hooks?

Question : motability scheme?
my daughter is severley autistic, has no speech, no sense of danger...we have been on the lower rate mobility and middle rate care for some time now but i really think she should be on high rate mobility because simply public transport is a nightmare for her if people open windows or people look at her she will attack people and can only go out with 2 people at a time, i have applied for higher rate mobility for her but am worried that maybe she wont recieve this due to the fact that she isnt in a wheelchair or has some form of aid to help her be mobile, she is 11 and is extremely hard work, is anyone else in a similiar situation to me or been in it? what happened?
Answer:
i know this probably isn't the answer you were hoping for but as you haven't received any other answers so far, i hope it will at least be a small amount of assistance.
i presume your daughter attends a special school, wouldn't it be a good idea to speak with other parents or maybe the school has a dedicated staff member who knows about this sort of thing?

Question : can you summarize my article.?
Modern analysis emphasizes that human beings are not "commodities"" or "resources", but are creative and social beings that make contributions beyond 'labor' to a society and to civilization. The broad term human capital has evolved to contain some of this complexity, and in micro-economics the term "firm-specific human capital" has come to represent a meaning of the term "human resources."
Advocating the central role of "human resources" or human capital in enterprises and societies has been a traditional role of socialist parties, who claim that value is primarily created by their activity, and accordingly justify a larger claim of profits or relief from these enterprises or societies. Critics say this is just a bargaining tactic which grew out of various practices of medieval European guilds into the modern trade union and collective bargaining unit.
A contrary view, common to capitalist parties, is that it is the infrastructural capital and (what they call) intellectual capital owned and fused by "management" that provides most value in financial capital terms. This likewise justifies a bargaining position and a general view that "human resources" are interchangeable.
A significant sign of consensus on this latter point is the ISO 9000 series of standards which requires a "job description" of every participant in a productive enterprise. In general, heavily unionized nations such as France and Germany have adopted and encouraged such descriptions especially within trade unions. One view of this trend is that a strong social consensus on political economy and a good social welfare system facilitates labor mobility and tends to make the entire economy more productive, as labor can move from one enterprise to another with little controversy or difficulty in adapting.
An important controversy regarding labor mobility illustrates the broader philosophical issue with usage of the phrase "human resources": governments of developing nations often regard developed nations that encourage immigration or "guest workers" as appropriating human capital that is rightfully part of the developing nation and required to further its growth as a civilization. They argue that this appropriation is similar to colonial commodity fiat wherein a colonizing European power would define an arbitrary price for natural resources, extracting which diminished national natural capital.
The debate regarding "human resources" versus human capital thus in many ways echoes the debate regarding natural resources versus natural capital. Over time the United Nations have come to more generally support the developing nations' point of view, and have requested significant offsetting "foreign aid" contributions so that a developing nation losing human capital does not lose the capacity to continue to train new people in trades, professions, and the arts.
An extreme version of this view is that historical inequities such as African slavery must be compensated by current developed nations, which benefitted from stolen "human resources" as they were developing. This is an extremely controversial view, but it echoes the general theme of converting human capital to "human resources" and thus greatly diminishing its value to the host society, i.e. "Africa", as it is put to narrow imitative use as "labor" in the using society.
In the very narrow context of corporate "human resources", there is a contrasting pull to reflect and require workplace diversity that echoes the diversity of a global customer base. Foreign language and culture skills, ingenuity, humor, and careful listening, are examples of traits that such programs typically require. It would appear that these evidence a general shift to the human capital point of view, and an acknowledgement that human beings do contribute much more to a productive enterprise than "work": they bring their character, their ethics, their creativity, their social connections, and in some cases even their pets and children, and alter the character of a workplace. The term corporate culture is used to characterize such processes.
The traditional but extremely narrow context of hiring, firing, and job description is considered a 20th century anachronism. Most corporate organizations that compete in the modern global economy have adopted a view of human capital that mirrors the modern consensus as above. Some of these, in turn, deprecate the term "human resources" as useless.
As the term refers to predictable exploitations of human capital in one context or another, it can still be said to apply to manual labor, mass agriculture, low skill "McJobs" in service industries, military and other work that has clear job descriptions, and which generally do not encourage creative or social contributions.
In general the abstractions of macro-economics treat it this way - as it characterizes no mechanisms to represent choice or ingenuity. So one interpretation is that "firm-specific human capital" as defined in macro-economics is the modern and correct definition of "human resources" - and that this is inadequate to represent the contributions of "human resources" in any modern theory of political economy.
