1. What microorganism do you believe is to blame for this illness (be specific)? Provide background information on this organism, history, morphology, virulence factors, toxins

Hemophilus Influenza is a cocobacillus that is small, pleomorphic and is gram-negative. It is non-motile and does not form spores. It is also a facultative anaerobe. Some strains of Hemophilus influenza have a capsule composed of polysaccharide (Deverajan, 2012), (CDC, 2013). There are 6 different stereotypes of the virus, labeled a-f. This division is based on the biochemical differences in the capsules (Deverajan, 2012). Some strains of Hemophilus Influenza do not possess capsules and are therefore referred to as nonencapsulated Hemophilus Influenza. They are also sometimes called nontypeable Hemophilus influenza. Identification of the different strains is done by slide agglutination for stereotyping ( ...

The validity of the ancient testimonia as regards the origins of the Oracle of Apollo still remains controversial. To test the validity of the tesmonia, a research has to be conducted on the evidence for geological faults and gas emissions at the sanctuary of Delphi. Modern doubts as to the availability of chasm and vapor at Delphi are rooted from unsuccessful archaeologists. Surveys at Delphi have continuously indicated the presence of the two; hence Dr. Jelle de Boer and John Hale are to investigate the presence of geological faults and gas emissions so as to test the soundness of the ...

Explain what a grade ii murmur means.

Murmurs refer to heart sounds that are produced when the flow of blood through the conduit is short of being laminar. The flow of blood is turbulent. The turbulence in the flow is therefore denoted by the audible noise, which is described as being a murmur. Murmurs are graded according to classes based on the character of the murmur.

1. What is Economic Value Added (EVA) and what are the advantages and disadvantages of using EVA as a measure of a company’s performance?

The basis for the financial performance measurement tool called Economic Value Added (EVA) is that any capital brought into a company must create value for its shareholders. Very simply put, if the after-tax net operating profit of a company (or NOPAT), less the capital used to generate that profit is positive or greater than zero, then the company has generated true economic profit for its investors. In mathematical terms, this relationship is shown as:

Glaucoma is the disturbance in the structure or function of the optic nerve that causes it to atrophy. This usually leads to gradual loss of the visual field over a period of time. The disturbance is usually as a result of increased intraocular pressure although some patients exhibit atrophic changes without having a raised intraocular pressure (Bell). Risk factors for developing glaucoma include a family history of glaucoma, old age and elevated intraocular pressure from any cause (Bell). Previous ocular surgery and ocular or head trauma are also predisposing factors.

Two main types of glaucoma include angle-closure glaucoma and open-angle glaucoma.

In angle closure glaucoma, there is a blockage in the normal drainage canal of ...

Qualitative research methods such as case studies, comparative and historical approaches have gained popularity and relevance as research methods within the field of social research such as international relations.

Further, the capability of some of these research methodologies, such as case studies, to provide researchers with the ability or possibility of developing theories, evaluating programs and developing appropriate interventions has ...

Abstract

The Great War and the American civil war have had immense effects on the historical, political, social, and cultural context. The outcomes and the processes of the war have greatly influenced the development of the humanity discipline. These ideologies have then been spread over the world to other nations thereby stamping America as the most dominant nation in the world. Furthermore, there have been greater interdisciplinary relationships in humanity and new ideas have been developed. These ideas have gone a step further to enhance the streamlining of governance and social structures by incorporating people from diverse backgrounds.

Culture and family are oftentimes neglected during patient assessment, especially when the person is viewed only in terms of disease, causes and treatment. However, providing holistic care that encompasses all aspects of the patient’s life has the potential to improve patient outcomes. In nursing theory, Callista Roy and Madeleine Leininger refer to culture as a belief system, a worldview through which the patient perceives health, care, nursing and the world in general (George, 2011). It is transmitted from one generation to the next through interaction in social institutions such as the family, school and ...

Mental health

Introduction
One of the main branches of psychology is mental assessment. This part of psychology calls for numerous observations and ability to relate a certain behavior or response to a set of responses to comprehensively understand the mental status of a person (http://yalepress.yale.edu/yupbooks/excerpts/hicks_50.pdf).

It usually involves careful observation of any possible or visible cue that might give a clue to the mental status a person, a lot of careful questioning and taking of notes as well as mental history of the person under observation. It also calls for human behavior understanding and causes of the various types of mental ailments (http://yalepress.yale.edu/yupbooks/excerpts/hicks_50.pdf).

Summary

The article discusses the way Chinese and Americans understand their culture and the way they understand each other’s culture. There are major differences in the way the Chinese see American culture due to its lack of history. Since, China is the oldest civilization still active, they have developed chauvinism about their history and see other cultures as inferior.
The Chinese consider their culture as far advanced and deep as it has historical roots of ancient civilization. The Chinese interpretation of American culture is that it is made by several European or immigrant cultures. The article identifies that Chinese ...

Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia

Cardiac arrhythmias often require immediate medical care that may include resuscitation (Ray, 2004). The diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias can be challenging particularly in situations whereby the patient is asymptomatic and ECG findings are normal between symptomatic episodes (Cruickshank, 2008). Distinguishing between supraventricular and ventricular tachycardia is also a challenge (Australian Resuscitation Council, 2008). Cardiac arrhythmia should be suspected in patients with a history of syncope, near syncope, palpitations, and/or chest pain (Cruickshank, 2008). This paper will justify why monomophic ventricular tachycardia is the most likely diagnosis of a male patient who collapsed abruptly and has hypotension (BP 63/38), tachycardia ( ...

Invented and patented by Thomas Edison in 1879, the incandescent bulb comprises of a wired filament placed inside a glass bulb (“The History”). When electricity is provided to the filament, it heats up thereby making the bulb glow and emit light (“Incandescent, LED”).

Later, the carbon filament was made using bamboo, which gave the bulb a longer lifespan of up to 1200 hours (“The History”). Much later, in ...

Chapter 4
The BCOS factors are comprehensive, but I think they encourage paternalistic thinking on the part of the marketers, which may alienate the audience. The audience’s perception of the costs, benefits, others and self-efficacy potential varies according to highly personal factors that often come into play at the market segmentation/product positioning/targeting stages (e.g. socialization, culture, and values). Effectively, I believe more concern for cognitive/affective dimensions of how the audience conceptualizes the BCOS factors for greater effectiveness in creating “mutually beneficial want-satisfying products”. I recently read about the Chinese dog meat festival, which has cultural and other ...
