    2. mitigating culturalbarriers

      How is mitigating cultural barriers different from mitigating language barriers?

      A cultural barrier is an issue arising from a misunderstanding of meaning, caused by cultural differences between sender and receiver

    3. Working with technology to mitigate language barriers

      How about technology?

    4. Working with interpreter

      Let's talk about the different strategies to combat language barriers, both the pros and cons:

      interpreters

    5. the complexity and nature of the patient’shealth problem, patients’ own preferences and the nature of therelation between patient and informal interpreter.

      How to mitigate these problems

    6. Patients who receivelanguage-discordant care ask fewer questions, have lowerunderstanding of their illness, are less adherent to treatment,are less satisfied with their providers and are more likely to missmedical appointments compared to patients who receive lan-guage-concordant care

      I know we kind of already talked about this, but hy does it matter that we use everything at our disposal to talk with non-English speaking patients? Why can't we just use Google translate to do everything for us?

    7. communicationstrategie

      Working with interpreters, technology, family members, healthcare providers with similar backgrounds

    8. holistic approach

      Holistic approach, interventions suffer from a too reductionist approach

    9. To improv

      Alright, how about we look at what the authors suggest we should do to solve this issue? What did they say was the best way to improve intercultural health communication?

    10. too unfamilia

      Exactly, even if we were to speak the same language, we've experienced such different things in life that it is often we won't really be able to understand each other. Same way ... while I can speak Spanish, since I have not lived in a Spanish-speaking country I will often in conversations miss the intention or nuances of those who have

      And aside from language barriers. we often see misunderstandings in our daily lives from poor communication.

      What do you guys think? Any thoughts or opinions?

    11. If a lion could speak, we would not understand him

    1. these studies focused onknowledge of associative color facts such as that strawberries are"red", rather than on inferentially rich, causal understanding ofcolor

      In other words, previous studies about blindness and perceiving color were not executed properly (it did not answer what it was asking). It isn't as simple as pointing at something and trying to find the color.

    2. However, these prior studies may underestimate the capacityof language to transmit color information.

      !

    3. we ask what kind of under-standing of sensory phenomena is transmitted via language bycomparing knowledge of color among people who are blind andsighted living in the same culture

    1. tunnel splitting

      What exactly is tunnel splitting? The essay mentions this various times without clearly explaining what it is, and whenever I search it up online multiple things are said about it.

      From what I could understand, quantum spin tunnel splitting makes it so that the magnetization of a system can "switch between states with opposite magnetization that are separated by an energy barrier much larger than thermal energy". But what exactly happens during tunnel splitting? And why are there different ones mentioned in the article? [magnetization tunneling, zero-field tunnel splitting, ground-state tunnel splitting]

      I also understand that this phenomenon "defies classical physics" because of magnetization switching. How is that possible?
