Analysis describing your thoughts about the photographs in relation to their subject, form, content, and meaning.

The four photos show some sort of movement which is captured by an unobtrusive medium. This is because the human subjects in the photos have their back turned to the camera and appear unaware of the photographer. They represent a moment in time in a busy day as people in different occupations go about their duties. The short shadows of the various people or forms captured in these photos indicate that they were all captured either just before or just after midday in natural light.

The use of perspective to indicate distance and depth is done successfully. This helps to capture ...

- The Warburg effect was an observation found in cancer cells by a German biochemist Otto Heinrich Warburg. He was able to observe that in cancer cells, there is a high rate of glycolysis under aerobic conditions, a trait which is technically inefficient for energy production in multicellular organisms. Hence due to his discovery, it subsequently also became known as the “Warburg Effect” over the years.

- Apparently Warburg was wrong. It was said in the paper that not all cancer cells have their mitochondria improperly functioning.

- In a proliferating cell, more than just requiring energy (ATP) for cell function, it ...

Article: Sommerville, I. (2011). System documentation
One of the most important aspects of developing software systems includes documentation. This is a phase that is overlooked in the software development lifecycle. This is because of the fact that it is not part of the working system. The different stages of the software lifecycle development will depend on proper documentation for these stages to be understood. There is a need to ensure that the procedures and the processes of documenting the system are clearly understood in the design of the project.

Another cultural aspect that was practiced within the community was circumcision. This was practiced like the Jews. This involved making offerings as well as feasts on those occasions just like the Jews. The children were named based on the occurrence of an event, circumstances or imagined foreboding during their birth. For instance, the former slave was named Olaudah that meant fortunate or vicissitude. Such names were mentioned with greater reverence. The community was characterized by high standards of decency which was followed like religion. Those persons who touched the dead were obligated to wash as well as purify themselves ...

Abstract

The paper delineates and evaluates Eric Garner and Michael Brown Cases as well as unwarranted and excessive use of force. Garner was killed due to selling untaxed cigarettes while Michael Brown was a suspected robber. In both cases, the targeted were unarmed, and I think a re-evaluation of the use by the police force. Two different viewpoints persist in each of the cases. In the Garner case, he had been unable to breathe and choked to death. I think that the officers had no right to punish him with death because a man drinking and driving has no intention to kill others, ...

Response Paper

The above is a confirmation and admission of sorts on the widely held view and conception of racism and gender specifications. It stems from the fact that there are certain jobs and occupations that are concerned to be common in certain races while others are not considered to be same. Specifically, it stresses on the fact that the immigrant workers especially the Asian and Latina women commonly secure jobs in areas of manufacturing. It includes being helps in restaurants, hotels, offices, convalescent homes, private residences, and others which are not regarded as highly in the human society. It is important ...

Monique Wittig asserts that lesbians are not women. The argument has not only excited academic and non-academic interest, but perhaps most importantly, it defies dominant cultural definitions and categorizations of sexuality and gender. This argument also threatens the established theoretical structure of political work that is founded upon women’s identity, including feminism. There is effectively no natural categorization of women, and thus equally no natural subject matter upon which feminism could be founded. Hale questions the possibility that women do not exist outside the conceptual context of the heterosexual political regimes. Instead, Hale develops an alternative construction of ...

The newly developed SASB allowed companies to take into consideration external events (Eccles, 2016) that cannot be controlled such as the effects of climate change. The reason for the accounting standard addition is that governments cannot ignore the effects on industrial markets and their investors (Eccles, 2016). The value of accounting standards is that it allows individuals, companies, and governments to generate wealth since it allows financial performance comparisons (Eccles, 2016). The problem is that there was no previous standard developed for nonfinancial performances (Eccles, 2016) especially on environmental and social activities.

Analysis, Development, Implementation and Evaluation (ADDIE)

In deed, Analysis, Development, Implementation and Evaluation (ADDIE) is a very important approach in the designing of an educational program. An effective adoption of this strategy can be so instrumental in the design, development and use of an educational program. This can be evidenced in the research conducted by Waynesburg College in which it was fully applied in the Master’s of Education (Technology) course. After its full implementation, it came out that it is better than any other strategy.
As an educationist, I would like to agree that ADDIE can be so instrumental if used well. I would ...

Abstract

Cancer of the lungs is among the leading causes of cancer in the world. It has two forms; small cell lung cancer (SCLC), and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC constitutes about 85% of cases of lung cancer. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and its mutations are found to have an important role in this cancer. Therefore, EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) can work effectively against NSCLC. Gefitinib, which is a first generation TKI, and afatinib, which is a second-generation TKI, are effective as a first-line therapy for advanced NSCLC. Erlotinib is effective as a second-line therapy for advanced NSCLC. ...

This article examines issues that can arise as the result of surrogacy. The author states that even though the parents appear on the birth certificate this can be reversed. The challenge of determining who the legal guardian is is challenging. Because of this most surrogacies are gestational. The author states that issues of discrimination can arise when speaking about an infertile parent versus a fertile parent. The ethical issues include this discrimination. It also calls to question if parentage should be reversed legally. Legally this presents many issues.
This article looks at the issues surrounding a patient’s ability to ...

1. Frustration
Frustration can cause aggression in athletes when they are unable to make a goal, are fouled by an opponent, or other situations that interrupt the game. Some athletes may not show this aggression in the game because they are professional and respect the coach. However, these athletes may instead channel aggression into their personal lives.
2. Violent behavior and Aggression
Violent or harmful behavior is not always seen as negative in a sport. Some people may refer to it as “passion” instead of aggression. Injuries gained by an opponent may be viewed as a result ...

The article is about the report of the death of the late former Libyan president Muammar Gaddafi in the Guardian media. In the article are allegations about the location of killing of Gaddafi, the possible killer and the likely time when he was killed. The allegations came from different sources around the world. In one source, it was said the Gaddafi had been killed by a NATO strike on his escape from his loyal home town of Sirte. Another report from a representative of Libya in the United Kingdom claimed that Gaddafi was captured alive when on an escape from Sirte ...

In ideal terms, one’s response to this debate should be straightforward: the principle of self-determination would seem to be at the heart of the notions of freedom and democracy, and, therefore, in principle, every group that claims to be a nation should, in principle, be allowed to have their own state, but the real world is far messier than the ideal. There are distinct problems with allowing this principle to be exercised across the globe, and, because each call for nationhood occurs in a slightly (sometimes radically) different context, there can be no single solution which can be applied across ...

The article "Must an Educated Being Be a human being?" by Robert Heslep proposes that for any being to become educated, no need exists that it must be essentially a human. As a result, there has been a contention whether or not humans are the only objects subject to being educated. The article commences by presenting the idea of being a human being and the consensual idea associated with education. It progresses to give the procedure regarding heuristic education while at the same time clarifying the latter concept. Notably, the work has presented a formidable case for the nonhuman ...

Despite the relative lack of information on the future implications of stem-cell therapies, research has sped ahead (Daley, et al. 793). As an example of the rapid pace of research, the International Society for Stem Cell Research, arguably the biggest international professional organization involved in stem cell research, has been obliged to update its guidelines three times in ten years (Daley, et al. 787). The purpose of this paper is to present some of the controversies evoked by stem cell research and therapies.
One of the reasons given for the rapid uptake of stem cell therapies is the appeal ...

The brain is a highly complex organ, with a network of nerve cells that serve as a starting point for everything an individual senses, thinks, and ultimately the actions carried out. There are two responses that the brain is responsible for carrying out: conscious responses and autonomic responses, with fear being an example of the latter due to it usually being triggered unconsciously, leaving the individual to realize that the fear reaction has been triggered only after a myriad of physical responses have occurred (Debiec & LeDoux, 2004).
While the experience of fear is rather autonomic, ...

In as much as the authorities have a clear cut on how to conduct themselves when handling hostile crowds, there should be a line of reasoning.

I cannot underestimate the effect, and that these roving groups have on the response of the British soldiers, their actions provoke and thus influence the constant harassment. Nevertheless, a minute of hearing the ...
