How to write an intoduction 

If scholars want his articles to be read by reviewers and editors.

He should ensure to grab their interest and make them decide to
track his paper.He must provide his readers with strong reasons
to read his articles .His work can be compared to a marketer or
salesperson, in a sense that he needs to focus on his target
audience « the readers ».Hence ,he needs to distinguish his work
from other research. The inroduction often reveals the reason
why the researcher selected the topic of study .This needs to be
somehow appealing to the readers.This fact can convince them
to keep looking for his paper .

1. What is the aim of the Introduction?

When a reader see a topic for the first time,he may find the
information confusing and he needs to make sense of it by
linking it to his frame of knowledge or past experience.The
introduction can help him to accomplish this by providing
him with a context or background information.the research
papers has to begin from the knowledge that the readers
already have. That is because any scientific topic demand
prior knowledge .the more readers have this knowledge the
better . However, this prior information or knowledge can be
poor or not complete that is why experienced scholars are
always advising young poste graduate students to define and
limit the area of their research.so they can expect the readers
to use the background information more efficiently.
(McPhee)

2. The major steps to write an introduction section:

(glasman p24)

1. The author emphasizes the value of the research

study.this is a strong way to grab the interest of the
readers.he can focus on showing how benefit the
research can be to the scientific community.scholars
can use expressions such as :many studies
stressed,much studies has focused...
2. The author should give the readers general
information.when scholar decides to write a research
paper,he will be required to make sure that the
readers is familiar with the research topic.
3. The author gives more specific details and
information about the topic.
4. The author defines the broad subject of the
research.He can explain the general problem in one
field of research.This general problem has to be
interesting to many researchers.
5. The author must link the general topic or problem
with the previous studies.This can be done by
referencing to the past research.
 6. The author gives a short outline of the research
proposal.
7. The author defines the research gap and give the
reason why it should be filled .
8. The author defines his study .he can describe the
different phases or structure of his research.
9. The author briefly explain his methodology used in
his study.though, he does not need to give too much
detail at this stage.
10. The author gives the results or the findings.

Summary
In recent years, there has been
massive progress in artificial
intelligence (AI) with the
development of deep neural net-
works, natural language processing,
computer vision and
robotics. These techniques are now
actively being applied
in healthcare with many of the health
service activities cur-
rently being delivered by clinicians
and administrators pre-
dicted to be taken over by AI in the
coming years.
However, there has also been
exceptional hype about the
abilities of AI with a mistaken notion
that AI will replace
human clinicians altogether. These
perspectives are inaccur-
ate, and if a balanced perspective of
the limitations and
promise of AI is taken, one can gauge
which parts of the
health system AI can be integrated to
make a meaningful
impact. The four main areas where AI
would have the most
influence would be: patient
administration, clinical decision
support, patient monitoring and
healthcare interventions.
This health system where AI plays a
central role could be
termed an AI-enabled or AI-
augmented health system. In
this article, we discuss how this
system can be developed
based on a realistic assessment of
current AI technologies
and predicted developments.

The aim of the study was to determine home care utilization based on
patient counts by gender and age groups. The analysis was based on the
data sent by the services providing home care to the National Health
Insurance Fund of Hungary (NHIFH). Patient counts came from the
funding data base of the NHIFH. The investigated period was the year of
2016. The population and its distribution was considered according to the
data on 1st January 2017 of the Central Statistics Office. 54,205 patients
required funded home care in 2016. Males’ patient count amounted to
19,559, females patient counts amounted to 34,646. The percentage
distribution showed 36.08% by males and 63.92% by females. The
patient counts by 10,000 inhabitants were as follows: 55.32 patients
nationally; 41.83 male patients; and 67.64 female patients. Patient counts
showed steady increase in both genders and age groups. Thus, the highest
utilization could be found in the ’70+’ age groups (in males: 9,277
patients; in females: 22,146 patients). In lower age groups, males’
utilization was slightly higher than females needs, while it was reversed
from the 40-49 age group. Home care utilization increases steadily with
the rise of years. Utilization indicators are higher in females exceeding
the double of males’ indicators.
