A doctor’s visit, also known as a “physician office visit,” is a meeting between a patient with a physician to get health advice or treatment for a symptom or condition.

According to a survey in the United States, a physician typically sees between fifty and one hundred patients per week, but it may vary with medical specialty, but differs only little by community size such as metropolitan versus rural areas.

The term preferences is used in a variety of related, but not identical, ways in the scientific literature. This makes it necessary to make explicit the sense in which the term is used in different social sciences.

Relevance is the concept of one topic being connected to another topic in a way that makes it useful to consider the first topic when considering the second.

The concept of relevance is studied in many different fields, including cognitive sciences, logic, and library and information science. Most fundamentally, however, it is studied in epistemology (the theory of knowledge).

Different theories of knowledge have different implications for what is considered relevant and these fundamental views have implications for all other fields as well.

Point and click are the actions of a computer user moving a pointer to a certain location on a screen (pointing) and then pressing a button on a mouse, usually the left button (click), or other pointing device.

An example of point and click is in hypermedia, where users click on hyperlinks to navigate from document to document. Point and click can be used with any number of input devices varying from mice, touch pads, keyboards, joysticks, scroll buttons, and roller balls.

User interfaces, for example, graphical user interfaces, are sometimes described as “point-and-click interfaces”, often to suggest that they are very easy to use, requiring that the user simply point to indicate their wishes.

These interfaces are sometimes referred to condescendingly (e.g., by Unix users) as “click-and-drool interfaces”. The use of this phrase to describe software implies that the interface can be controlled solely through the mouse (or some other means such as a stylus), with little or no input from the keyboard, as with many graphical user interfaces.

Consent refers to the act of giving permission, agreement, or approval for something to happen or for someone to do something. In legal terms, it often refers to the voluntary and informed agreement of an individual to a proposed course of action, especially in relation to medical treatment, sexual activity, or participation in research or other activities that may involve risks or potential harm.

Consent implies that the person giving it has the capacity to understand the nature and consequences of their decision and is not being coerced, deceived, or otherwise manipulated into agreeing to something against their will or without their full understanding.

A cookie, also known as an HTTP cookie, web cookie, Internet cookie, or browser cookie, is a small piece of data sent from a website and stored in a user’s web browser while the user is browsing that website. Every time the user loads the website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server to notify the website of the user’s previous activity.

Cookies were designed to be a reliable mechanism for websites to remember stateful information (such as items in a shopping cart) or to record the user’s browsing activity (including clicking particular buttons, logging in, or recording which pages were visited by the user as far back as months or years ago).

Although cookies cannot carry viruses, and cannot install malware on the host computer, tracking cookies and especially third-party tracking cookies are commonly used as ways to compile long-term records of individuals’ browsing histories—a potential privacy concern that prompted European and U.S. lawmakers to take action in 2011. Cookies can also store passwords and form content a user has previously entered, such as a credit card number or an address.

Other kinds of cookies perform essential functions on the modern web. Perhaps most importantly, authentication cookies are the most common method used by web servers to know whether the user is logged in or not, and which account they are logged in with. Without such a mechanism, the site would not know whether to send a page containing sensitive information or require the user to authenticate themselves by logging in.

The security of an authentication cookie generally depends on the security of the issuing website and the user’s web browser, and on whether the cookie data is encrypted. Security vulnerabilities may allow a cookie’s data to be read by a hacker, used to gain access to user data, or used to gain access (with the user’s credentials) to the website to which the cookie belongs (see cross-site scripting and cross-site request forgery for examples).

Recognition in sociology is a public acknowledgment of a person’s status or merits (achievements, virtues, service, etc.). In psychology, a person seeking excessive recognition, or unnecessary recognition, could be exhibiting traits of a narcissistic personality disorder.

When a person is recognized, he or she is accorded some special status, such as title or classification. Recognition can take many forms, such as those mentioned in the mass media.

The Emperor of China used large circular logos the size of a dinner plate to distinguish members of his family from his Han subjects. Their symbol of privilege was a Mandarin square on their clothing.

A viral video is a video that becomes popular through a viral process of Internet sharing, typically through video-sharing websites, social media, and email.

Viral videos often contain humorous content and include televised comedy sketches, such as The Lonely Island’s “Lazy Sunday” and “Dick in a Box”, Numa Numa videos, The Evolution of Dance, Chocolate Rain on YouTube; and web-only productions such as I Got a Crush… on Obama.

Some eyewitness events have also been caught on video and have “gone viral” such as the Battle at Kruger. More recently, the Kony 2012 video by Invisible Children, Inc. became the most viral video in history with over 34,000,000 views on the first day of its upload on 5 March 2012 and now has over 100,000,000 views as of late 2013. Another recent example is Gangnam Style by PSY.

As of June 2014, the music video has been viewed over 2 billion times on YouTube, which in turn makes it the most viewed video in the history of the site.

Store brands are a line of products strategically branded by a retailer within a single brand identity. They bear a similarity to the concept of house brands, private label brands (PLBs) in the United States, own brands in the UK, home brands in Australia, and generic brands.

They are distinct in that a store brand is managed solely by the retailer for sale in only a specific chain of stores. The retailer will design the manufacturing, packaging, and marketing of the goods in order to build on the relationship between the products and the store’s customer base.

Store-brand goods are generally cheaper than national-brand goods because the retailer can optimize production to suit consumer demand and reduce advertising costs. Goods sold under a store brand are subject to the same regulatory oversight as goods sold under a national brand.

A Food Marketing Institute study found that store brands account for an average of 14.5 percent of sales with some stores projecting they will soon reach as high as 20 percent of all sales. Store branding is a mature industry; consequently, some store brands have been able to position themselves as premium brands.

Sometimes store-branded goods mimic the shape, packaging, and labeling of national brands, or get premium display treatment from retailers. (For example, “Dr. Thunder” and “Mountain Lightning” are the names of the Sam’s Choice store brand equivalents of Dr. Pepper and Mountain Dew, respectively).

Research has found that some retailers believe that, while advertising by premium national brands brings shoppers to the store, the retailer typically makes more profit by selling the shopper a store brand. This assumption has led to a spurt in the academic and trade literature on the subject of positioning the store brand as compared with the national brand.

The Fashion Institute of Technology publishes research on store branding and store positioning. In most cases, while store brands are usually cheaper than national (or even regional) brands, they remain more expensive than generic brands sold at the store. (e.g. Pittsburgh-based Giant Eagle selling their store brands for less than national brands but more than Topco’s Valu Time generic brand.)

The “no-frills” grocery chains such as Aldi and Save-A-Lot primarily sell store brands to promote overall lower prices, compared to supermarket chains that sell several brands. Richelieu Foods, for example, is a private label company producing frozen pizza, salad dressing, sauces, marinades, condiments, and deli salads for other companies, including Hy-Vee, Aldi, Save-A-Lot, Sam’s Club, Hannaford Brothers Co., BJ’s Wholesale Club (Earth’s Pride brand) and Shaw’s Supermarkets (Culinary Circle brand).

Private branding means a large distribution channel member (usually a retailer) buys from a manufacturer in bulk and puts its own name on the product. This strategy is generally only practical when the retailer does a very high volume of sales.

The advantages to the retailer are: more freedom and flexibility in pricing more control over product attributes and quality higher margins (or lower selling price) elimination much of the manufacturer’s promotional costs

The advantages to the manufacturer are: reduced promotional costs stability of sales volume (at least while the contract is operative)
