TL;DR
A new way in which the principles of critical theory can be applied to the study of information systems by drawing on the work of Bruno Latour is proposed by reflecting on Habermas’ focus on human agency and proposing a new collective consisting of selective humans and non–humans.
Abstract
FISH is reliable for determining HER2 status in cytopathology specimens. Discordant results between cytologic and surgical specimens are uncommon; possible explanations include genetic heterogeneity or inherent molecular changes associated with disease progression and therapies that occur between testing of the primary carcinoma and the metastasis.
