- Factors in phenotypic variations
Factors in phenotypic variation consist of: Variation in phenotype (Vp); Variation in phenotypes caused by genetic variation (Vg); Variation of phenotype caused by environment (Ve); Variation in phenotype caused by interaction of genotype and environment (Vgxe). In addition to the above factors, phenotypic variation is also influenced by effects of genotype on phenotypes.

- Additive genetic variation formula shows that Va is influenced by phenotypes (p), additive (a) and dominance (d). As population evolves, the values of p, a, and d change. Consequently, Va value also changes. Based on the narrow sense heritability formula, change in Va ...

Common sense was an influential pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in 1776. He was very careful in the way he wrote his works. This was necessitated by the fact that he always wanted his readers to understand the occurrences of the time better by informing them clearly. At one time, he claimed “I offer nothing more than simple facts, plain arguments, and common sense.”
Thomas Paine’s common sense argument is depicted by his reflections of the government and the religion. He distinguished the society and the government by stating that the government is an institution whose main ...

Question 1: Gramsci: Some Preliminary Points of Reference

Philosophy has had a long history in which it has been viewed as an ‘ivory tower’ pursuit – a subject which is to be studied by those who have either too much time or money on their hands. Through this view philosophy had no practical applicability and was simply a pass time for those who could afford it. Contrary to this view, Gramsci argued that not only is philosophy a practical subject of study – one which embodies the idea of ‘praxis’ but that every individual is a philosopher. This (somewhat deterministic) standpoint claims that all people are, in ...

Nowadays the problem of poverty and limited resources becomes more and more urgent. The famous Hardin’s essay, “Lifeboat ethics” covers different aspects of this issue and gives strong but often disputable arguments against helping the poor in the worldwide, international sense. The fact that Earth’s resources are limited is undisputable, and Hardin’s metaphor comparing nations of people to lifeboats floating in the limited space of resources seems very neat. In this situation different ethical and moral problems come into play. The main ethical issue in current situation is helping the poor with the limited helping capacity and ...

Naturalistic studies of children are special for those who have an interest in understanding childhood development. Children grow up in a social world within complex networks of relationships with others. It is within these social networks that they learn and develop their power of understanding, ability to communicate, sense of self, adjustment and power of coping with stress and changes. We are able to study children in a situation that have real emotional significance to them. This situation helps them make rational decision and choices that help to develop their critical thinking and decision-making. This also helps to study the aggressiveness ...

Leadership Strategies for a Changing World

I have just been appointed as the District Manager of an electronics company, a position which I have been eagerly anticipating for a long time. Having recently been appointed to this new leadership position at a company which I have wanted to work at for years, I can easily see in my first days that there are substantial organizational cultural problems that must be overcome. While the organization is extremely viable, there are power struggles between managers and an organizational culture that does not properly inspire its workers.

There is often a sense of friction between middle management and department heads, as ...

The purpose of the interview I carried out was to help me relate the life experiences of my interviewee to the Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory of Development. The answers I received tallied to this theory to a great extent.

In Erickson’s theory, one of the stages of development is that represented in Industry vs. Inferiority. This is the stage that takes place in the early years in the school. The age bracket of this period lies between five and eleven years. According to my client, life by then is always full of fun and good moments. This is because ...

In most countries, the primary goal of education among college students is the growth of a sense of citizenship. Earlier in society, education for the purpose of citizenship was an essential component for the maintenance of a critically thinking and well-informed society and this trend has made a re-emergence since the dawn of the 20th century . Throughout the course of history, education was perceived to be a means of protecting civil education from the hazards of curriculum overspecialization.

In order to realize the authorities responsible for the development of education, it is necessary to first understand ourselves. Higher education in recent times appears ...

Introduction

Many people have largely ignored child development that often occurs from birth to when the child reaches adulthood. Many people in history viewed children as small adults and thus paid little attention to the many changes in children including cognitive abilities, learning and physical growth. People started being interested in the field of child development in the early 20th century after theorists began giving their views. It is important to understand child development in order to determine the cognitive, physical, social, emotional and educational growth that children go through from birth to mature adults. Child development theories provide an ...

What is hypnosis?

The term ‘hypnosis’ has long been associated with entertaining side-shows in which the unsuspecting member of the public is made to cluck like a chicken every time they hear a bicycle bell. However, more recently, hypnosis has become a key psychological tool in assisting patients to re-tune their mind and to relax. It is a term derived from the Greek god of sleep, Hypnos (James 1) and indeed, hypnosis does involve the patient going into a sleep-like ‘trance’ or sorts. It was first used in the 1800s by James Braid who called it ‘neurypnosis’ and thought that it was a form of paralysis of the ...

‘Joyas Voladores’ – Brian Doyle

I thought this was a superb piece of writing. Doyle’s description of the hummingbird’s engaging and well-written. In the first paragraph, after the opening sentence, he starts three short sentences with the phrase ‘A hummingbird’s heart is...’ – a technique called anaphora. He then finishes the paragraph with one very long sentence full of vivid verbs – “whirring...zooming...nectaring...hammering.” He uses anaphora at the start of the second paragraph too – “They can...” and the long list of the exotic and mysterious names of different types of hummingbirds adds an element of what is almost poetry to the essay. He then goes ...

In the most unlikely places are literary themes that are eerily similar. Such is the case for “The Ballad of Reading Gaol,” In Cold Blood, and “The Crucible,” a poem by Oscar Wilde, a novel by Truman Capote, and a play by Arthur Miller, respectively. Although each of these pieces of literature deal with different time periods and different experiences, each discusses the darkness inside the human soul, the piercing reality of very banal, human evil that burns inside most people. While Capote’s characters chase the ghost of a murderer around a complex, interwoven plot, Miller’s characters fight against a corrupt, hysterical system ...

- There are a variety of different ways that art can be around the world. Art can be in a book that is being read, the furniture that is being sit on, and in the video games that people play on a regular basis. Basically, art can be anything that a person sees, has seen, or might imagine like advertisements on TV, Internet, toys, fashion, cars, paintings, and movies.

I decided to visit the Norton Simon Museum of Art, 411 W. Colorado Blvd. Pasadena, corner of Orange Grove Blvd. and Colorado Blvd and can safely say that I was pretty much bowled over by the experience. Paintings are arranged in a very helpful manner and I was definitely spoilt for choice with regards to the array of works on offer. First off I decided to analyse Pierre Auguste Renoir’s seminal painting, ‘The Pont des Arts, Paris’ dating from 1878 and which is oil on canvas. This is a truly seminal painting in French impressionist style and it demonstrates ...

C.S. Lewis wrote, in the essay entitled The Law of Human Nature, that our sense of right and wrong is what binds us together as human beings but the question is whether he is correct or not. Upon some consideration, it would seem that he has a valid argument. We are all within a society that imposes a fairly standardised set of basic laws, regardless of the culture: do not steal, do not harm others, and respect others. Lewis claims that we our bound together by our desire to live up to those social expectations and that those of us who fail ...

When picking a college to attend, a prospective student can have an incredibly hard time deciding what they want, and what will be best for them. One of the biggest considerations to make is the size of the campus itself; picking a large or small campus can very much dictate how the next few years of your education are spent. There are a lot of factors to consider as this decision is weighed; many of them depend on your own needs as per your education. In this essay, we will examine the virtues and detriments of small versus large college campuses. It is ...

How did the interviewer set the climate (opening/rapport) for the interview?

Using humor to position himself as a willing and open interviewer, Jon Stewart used the Presidents entrance to set the audience at ease. Opening with a self-deprecating joke allows for a non-confrontational interview. Jon Steward recognizes that the charisma of the president, this lets him look like a nice guy, even though he uses the interview to ask tough questions.

What types of body language did the interviewer use?

Jon Stewart employs subtle, yet straightforward uses of the hands while speaking. Using a thumb rather than a finger avoids any confrontation, is a great way of making a point but not ...

1. In Judy Rebick’s essay The Culture of Overwork, her purpose is effectively to re-examine the cultural norms of ‘overwork,’ defined here as a pattern of workaholic behavior characterized by long hours, high stress, guilt at unfinished work, etc. Judging the essay by standards of completeness and the relevance of the essay’s support, Rebick’s essay is somewhat solid, though there could be further support and elaboration on her part to further prove the inherent ethical and physical problems with overwork, as well as finding solutions for the problem.

In her arguments, Rebick makes use of ...

Technological advancement has been one of the greatest dynamic phenomena of our time. In the past, a lot could not be done just because the kind of systems that existed could not match our expectations and needs. Currently, things have changed so tremendously.

I have read so much about the struggle of the idea with form that at one point, I simply could not restrain myself. Why is there such vitality in this topic? It is appropriate to recall Socrates with his definition of concepts and Parmenides with his opinions, but the most basic - look at ourselves, what we like is not the essence of which lies in the form of an idea? What is more important? Why? For what? For whom? What for? At different times philosophers have tried to define the essence of art, to understand what it is. ...

Analysis of line

Horizontal lines dominate the painting; for example, the artist draws ground, raft, and the sea using these shapes. These lines mean that there is a sense of calmness and comfort in the picture. The lines on the sea and the raft show that these factors are calm and comfortable; the water is still because there are no waves, and this makes the raft stand calmly in the sea. The shape of the ground is horizontal to mean that the place is a plateau. A plateau is a flat land where there are no highlands; they are common near the sea like the ...

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) represents “A firm’s sense of responsibility towards the community and environment, (both ecological and social) in which it operates and draws resources and sustenance from. Firms express this citizenship through their waste and pollution reduction processes, by contributing to the educational and social programs and by earning adequate returns on the employed resources” (Business Dictionary).

Teams tend to be at the heart of everything that a business does, whether that is a sole proprietorship or a huge corporation. No one person, no matter how talented they are, can do all the work themselves in order for a business to be successful. Teams bring together the knowledge and expertise to carry out the complex tasks that a business environment has always demanded, and fostering these teams to be the best fit possible is what all successful names in the business world have achieved.

This study provides a critical analysis on the changing notion of comfort standards in building systems through a critique of Cole, Robinson, Brown and O’Shea’s (2008) “Re-Contextualizing the Notion of Comfort”. Diverse climate conditions across several locations around the world highly characterize standards of comfort met through the construction of residential and commercial buildings, thus the understanding that people derive comfort based on the normal weather conditions in their respective locales. Various standards for buildings –where people use spaces for habitation or work, ensure comfortable living in accordance to distinct climate conditions. Climate change, in this case, ...

1. “Much Madness”

This short poem denotes the juxtaposing idea that madness can actually be perceived as a profound, truest kind of sanity, in the lines “Much madness is divinest sense,” because for one to be aware of the fact that one is insane, one has to be in full possession of his senses to grasp this notion. In other words, to be insane and know it is to hold a firm grasp on one’s reason. But still, Dickinson is referring to it as “sense” exactly because it is not defined by reason, but what the majority of people consider ...

In Brumberg’s chapter “Tales Out of School,” he details how young Jewish immigrants learned and were integrated into the American school system. The biggest thing that stuck out to me was the passage about the growing Americanization of the students of these schools, regardless of heritage:

“Bleeding form and content, ritual and subject matter, the schools provided its immigrant students with a new “American” persona. The school clerk often changed the names of recent arrivals. Among these interviewed, we find Moses changed to Morris, and Nachum to Nathan. Last names became altered as well.”

This idea is extremely disconcerting ...

Globalization is a term used to explain the enhanced connectivity between nations, institutions, corporations, culture and people. It assumes a borderless world whereby ideas, finances, goods and services move freely across perceived boundaries that include borders, languages, governments and time. Some circles suggest we are in a second wave of globalization following the industrial revolution that emanated from England in the 18th century (Lewellen, 2002). The current wave of globalization has been prompted by the growth in communications, particularly in relation to advancements in, and widespread use of networked technologies.

Modernization can be interpreted as a western conception of industrialization. In a traditional ...

In finding the correlation and association between two numerical variables, determined sets of information must be as accurate as possible. Otherwise, discrepancies in results and intended/unintended statistical manipulation could change the course of a mathematically involved study. For me, two factors could change the course and the outcome of a specific research in a major way – these variables are known as measurements and biased sampling.

Measurements and biased sampling correlate with one another in data extraction. However, inaccurate measurements unintentionally or intentionally done are different. Measurements based on estimation and inaccurate are also different depending on mathematical circumstances. Measurements are variables ...

Based on what I listened to, I preferred the work of Debussy over the work of Mahler. There are at least three reasons for my preference of Debussy's work.

While I appreciated Mahler's classicism, his diversity of tempo and mixed rhythms, I had some difficulty accessing and relating to Mahler's work. As a progenitor of modernism, I related more to Debussy's work. I especially liked Debussy's similarity of musical form with more modern music. For example, the intro to L'après-midi d'un faune (Stokowski) part 1/2, with its opening flute solo, was similar ...

What are the arts for? (For the purposes of this paper, consider “arts” to be the same as visual culture and to cover anything produced with a visual design aspect to it).

Visual culture is an important aspect of any society and the arts, particularly the visual aspect have been part of man’s civilisation since time immemorial. Even the first prehistoric man used visual drawings and graphics to depict certain situations and episodes in his life and these have been preserved in caves and on buildings and artefacts which have been discovered after thousands of years. The recent centuries have seen art develop substantially and one may arrive at the conclusion that art is a representation of a particular moment and can also be described as the identity of a particular society.

Leadership Strategies for a Changing World

Charismatic Leadership
When looking at some of history’s greatest leaders, whether in politics or business, one characteristic that typifies the vast majority of them is that they are charismatic. Charming, graceful, some of the best leaders provide a sense of excitement and attraction that helps to gather followers and maintain a sense of momentum about the work that they are doing. To that end, the following focus paper explores charismatic leadership as a concrete, quantifiable leadership style, and my own assessment of the charismatic qualities of my leadership will be examined in light of the theory itself.

First, is to identify the formal organization of compromise situations (CD), or dilemmas where some CD cannot be avoided that includes jeopardizing the integrity of the maker of the decisions. Second, that by the notions of Amartya Sen’s of the basic and compulsive judgments and create a CD in a condition of compromise that is justified be morally. It concludes that the justified compromise situations involve rationally justified moral regret that assists to bridge the gap between consequentialism and deontology, respectively.

According to Rule 801 of the Federal Rules of Evidence, Hearsay is a statement that is either: (1) the declarant does not make while testifying at the current trial or hearing; and (2) a party offers in evidence to prove the truth of the matter asserted in the statement. Essentially, hearsay testimony is 2nd hand knowledge that if presented in court would violate a parties sixth amendment right to confront a witness against him. Allowing hearsay testimony would provide a backdoor for admitting evidence that could not be appropriately challenged by the opposing side.

In this passage the author uses description effectively, for presenting how his leather vest looked like. This description depicts a fashion item and its effect is visual, as the readers can imagine how the jacket looks, attaching all the elements of the description to the item, for identifying a glamorous and fancy leather jacket.

Alienation is a condition under social relationships characterized by low degree of the same values and high degree of isolation of individuals ((Trinca and Fox, 2004). It is separation of an individual from the rest of the people either in a community or working environment. The three main causes of alienation includes; powerlessness, meaninglessness, and self-estrangement. Powerlessness is lack of control over the work activities, lack of autonomy, and lack of autonomy. Meaningless is lack of understanding or sense of contribution to a larger purpose.Looking from broader perspective there are three factors that affect alienation; individual factors for instance personality, values, belief, ...

Education

Introduction

Child development is a crucial process that considers different nuances. In the process of development, a child faces a variety of issues that require constant motivation and guidance. Ideally, the life of a child revolves around motivation and achievements. Motivation in child development refers to the act of arousing a person or a being into appropriate actions with a goal that is desirable in mind. In the child, several actions and goals lay in the future. Learning becomes a vital aspect in this case. Motivation, therefore, dwells upon appropriating critical desires to perform an action. Motivation can either be intrinsic (internally driven) or extrinsic (environmentally driven). ...

There are several theories that seek to explain the abilities, behaviors and skills of individuals in different stages of their life. They include the psychosocial, biosocial and the cognitive theories of growth and development. They propose the expected behavior of an individual at the different stages of their life. Naturalistic observation is one of the ways that researchers employ to support the external validity of various research findings. The researchers embark on the study of a certain behavior as it occurs in its natural behavior. To ensure the validity of the results, the researchers should neither interrupt nor manipulate the ...

Unlike many of his contemporaries in the realm of science fiction writing, H.G. Wells understood how to tell a story to an audience. Whereas many of the other writers of the era were fascinated by the many technological advances available to them and the implications of these advances, Wells used those advances to set up a story that would come to resonate in American culture for years to come.

Indeed, to this day, the trope of an “alien” is consistent with Wells’ original description of the Martians, which speaks to the timelessness of the novel that he created. One of ...

Introduction:
