Literature Review

Adapting to climate change is not limited to environmental issues but rather on the policies developed by the legal instruments, socially responsible business, scientific research as well as awareness creation. The United States has already started on adapting its institutions on climate change vulnerability through conventions and National Adaptation Summits as well as being signatories to international MEA’s (Multilateral Environmental Agreements) such as the Kyoto Protocol as well as Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(karl, Melillo and Peterson, 2009). This shows that the issue is not only experienced at a regional level but on the global spectrum as well. ...

Nathaniel Hawthorne explores the idea of gender comprehensively in his work, The Scarlet Letter. Hawthorne tells the sad story of love and betrayal in families. His story is based on the 17th century Puritan New England. The cultural values and morals observed by Hawthorne’s community influences the social and gender expectations of the narrative. Hawthorne develops an interesting tale by basing his perspective on the 17th century world, which significantly affects the development of characters. The Scarlet Letter highlights that community and individual characters observe strict codes that provide guidelines on how individuals are supposed to live. Furthermore, ...

Sexuality and gender are social constructs, which may differ depending on the norms of society (Reis & Carothers, 2014). In a heterocentric society, certain attributes are reserved to describe either male or female individuals, with characteristics such as aggressive and strong being relegated to males and women being considered as more caring and emotional (Reis & Carothers, 2014). However, not all individuals fit neatly within the categories dictated by society and the challenges of individuals who are treated as “outliers” of society’s norm can be overwhelming, leading to emotional and physical distress, bullying, and social inequalities that have the ability to impact ...

Projections indicate that chronic diseases could account for nearly 60% of deaths and disabilities by the end of this decade. Chronic diseases do not only cause illness to an individual but also affect their well-being and that of their close associates. Chronic diseases cause health complications that result to disabilities, functional impairment, high rates of premature mortality, mortality and prolonged illnesses. Controlling chronic diseases requires culturally and socially competitive approaches (Singh, D., 2008). This paper will seek to address the Tuberculosis diseases (TB), a communicable chronic disease, using the Ontario Chronic Disease Prevention and Management Model (CDPM).

The play by Lorraine Hansbury is a story that is based on the experiences of a black family within an estate in a Chicago neighborhood. Poverty and abject poverty for that matter is a central theme within the play. Various incidences and scenarios are used to describe the state of poverty of the family. The most common problems revolve around investments, and the family tends to have more conflicts in line with the money issues. Broadly, although Lorraine Hansbury’s “A Raisin in the Sun” touches on many themes, pro-integration is one of the things that come out strongly in the play. This ...

Having reviewed the two articles; Big Boy Leaves Home by Richard Wrights and A Party Down at the Square by Ralph Ellison, it is evident that members of the black community went through a lot of difficulties during the early American times. This is made clear in the way the black community is treated in the stories being elaborated and the challenges they encountered as being part of the black community race which was considered to be an inferior race compared to other races and particularly the American race. This is attributed to the harsh treatment they are subjected to ...

Scruton argues that people’s way of life, including their habit and perceptions are determined and shaped by moral laws. He believes that the moral laws state the idea of the development of a group of rational individuals who respects one another and address their disagreements through accord and reconciliation. In this context, Scruton argues that the moral law present as a powerful mechanism that assume the purpose of reconciling people in a society that comprise of diverse people. However, I disagree with Scruton when he views morality as a system of regulations that entirely define the human behavior and activities.

INTRODUCTION

Stem Cell research is a controversial topic that has and continues to spawn heated debate. While the potential of stem cells research is endless it comes with a number of ethical considerations. Stem cells are like blank cells that can transform into whatever cells they are surrounded by; if placed in the liver they can become liver cells, the same in the heart or the a kidney. However, the research remains controversial because the richest source of stem cells needed to further the research are most often found in the tissue of aborted fetuses. This brings up many ethical questions that have ...

What is terrorism and why is it difficult to define?

There is no applicable definition that can be used to define the term terrorism; it is more of activities that are inhuman and exposes the lives of every human being to great danger. According to Hoffman, activities like assassination of a head of state, bombing of a building, poisoning of produce on a supermarket shelf and massacre of civilians by military unit, are all described and regarded as exceptional incidences of terrorism. Terrorism can also be labeled as organized crime syndicates, abhorrent act of violence that is channeled towards innocent civilians and extortionist or individual psychotics. Schmidt defines terrorism as a combination of ...

In the study by Geddes, et al., (2010), the researchers investigated monotherapy with either Lithium Carbonate of Valproate Semisodium and combination therapy with both, for Bipolar I. Their goal was to discover if combination therapy was more effective for relapse prevention than either drug alone. This is because while each medication is effective with some people, there are high rates of relapse with each when used alone. The quantitative design used was cox regression analysis to determine if relapse rated differed based on whether individuals were taking either Lithium or Valproate alone or both together. Relapse was defined as a ...

Introduction

Psychology pertains to the study of human behavior, reactions, personalities, or even as specific and complicated as how the brain works and functions. It can be considered both as a form of academic discipline and a branch of applied science that deals with the study of different brain functions that are related to mental processes and individual human behaviors. Studying psychology, unlike other academic disciplines, often involves unique processes such as the establishment of generally accepted principles and theories, and verifying the validity of such through research that more often than not involves verification using individual and or group cases.

FRANKENSTEIN AND DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE
Frankenstein and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are very interesting from an analytical point of view. The books primarily tell the tales of ambitious scientists trying to defy the rules of nature with respect to the human capacity to give and take life. In both cases, the end results are disastrous and both scientists en up regretting their previous creation. These two stories, from the community point of view, tell the tale of the duality of all human beings with respect to their ability to do good as well as to ...

Measures of effects can be explained to being the indexes that normally summarize the strength of the link between various exposures and their specific outcomes thus helping the medical practitioner make effective decisions in their everyday practice (Rothman, Greenland & Lash, 2008, p.72). In the nursing practice, the measure of effects strategy is an imperative approach that helps the nurse in knowing not only whether a certain exposure such as smoking can be linked to a certain outcome such as myocardial infarction, but also determining the magnitude of this relationship.
Enormous risks would be posed to the patients if the use ...

The program on the management of tuberculosis among immigrants utilizes several designs. One of them is the human based design, which considers individuals as belonging to a community. These individuals interact with each other and may thus benefit each other directly or indirectly. However, individuals in a community can also be a source or point of transmission of diseases to other populations. The other design/strategy adopted by the program is to consider the geography and environment in which individuals live. Both the human and physical environments may provide either opportunities or risks for program implementation. The design and implementation of any health ...

Doubt can never be compared with certainty in terms of providing a sense of community powerful as faith. A community in doubt is a divided community sine people live with mistrust and cannot tell what they expect of that community. As a single mother, I have never trusted any man who claims that he can take care of me and my child. It is not easy to trust a man anymore after what I have learnt from my married friends and how their husbands are unfaithful. This doubt creates mistrust a and poor social bonds between me and men within the society.

Introduction

Maladaptive behaviours that are notable amongst individuals of various ages and genders, ranging from preschool to third grade remains to be a topic of interest across different contexts.

Introduction

In many different settings, social workers work in groups. Such settings include neighborhoods, traditional clinical or therapeutic venues as well as community settings. Such workers who work in groups are strictly bound by code of ethics to ensure that they display proficiency in their work. Due to this, it is therefore evident that social workers working in groups should and must understand the basic principles behind group work and how to for effective and efficient groups that will effectively meet the clients’ as well as the members’ needs. Working in groups enhances the relationship and association between two or ...

Setting the Stage: The Themes in Chapters 1-3

Aldous Huxley's Brave New World is a hybrid between a manifesto of ideas, brought forth by characters with only a patina of depth, and a story with the depth closer to a graphic novel than that of a traditional tome. The opening three chapters bring the majority of the significant themes or ideas at work in the book. The director explains how this particular Utopia provides people bred to order, using artificial fertilization to grow babies inside bottles. Ultimately, they are not born but instead are decanted. Each new person is assigned to one of five social castes, from the Alphas, who have the most ...

This makes it essential to increase their physical activities and stabilize their emotional health. These activities involve walking, engaging in planned sports and playing, conducting household chores and leisure activities such as swimming, cycling and hiking. These activities can ...

who have had an ischemic stroke

BACKGROUND

Prolonged lowering of a patient’s blood pressure after a stroke occurs has been observed to reduce the risk of recurrent stroke. Additionally, the inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system in with regard to high-risk patients has also managed to reduce the rate of subsequent cardio vascular events, which includes stroke related complications. However, the effect of lowering a patient’s blood pressure using a renin-angiotestin system inhibitor such as Telmisartan, soon after an ischemic stroke has occurred has not yet been clearly established.
According to previous research studies and statistics retrieved from WHO, stroke has been ...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one cause of mortality in the US.

Reflection Paper: Study Review, Reaction, and Extension
The purpose of the study by Isen and Levin (1972) was to determine whether the positive affective state affects the subsequent helpfulness to other people. Previous researchers established that there is a significant relationship between success and helping, but subsequent studies found that the relationship between success and helping did not exist when there was no previous relationship between people or when helping was low-cost or unsolicited.
Based on those studies, researchers proposed that a positive affective state may significantly determine helpfulness. However, a positive mood state was induced by reports of success ...

Group dynamics is arguably one among the toughest topics because according to psychologists, groups cannot be studied through a unilateral approach. Human beings are quite different in terms of reasoning and opinion. This way, they tend to perceive things differently. This is the explanation behind the fact that mob psychology and group decision making are tougher and time consuming as compared to individual psychology and decision making. In a group – be it at the work place or in the school setting – making decisions is difficult for the simple reason that establishing a consensus in group is a difficult idea (Levi, 2011). There will ...

LITERATURE REVIEW: THE WONGA COUP BY ADAM ROBERTS

Literature Review
Africa, throughout the 20th century, has become a byword for massive poverty, corruption and greed. It is an understatement to say that Africa is a place rife with hunger, given that its rich resources have become central to the interests of various exploitative factors throughout its history. European nations, in particular, have scourged Africa for its material richness, much to the expense of the lives of the people living there. Adam Roberts covers that reality in his book The Wonga Coup, which details a seemingly contemporary repeat of the European exploitation of Africa through the attempts of a mercenary group ...

[Low flow anaesthesia with isoflurane in the dog].
This article in german compares the safety of high and low flow anesthesia in dogs preparing for surgery. Three groups of animals were divided into two low flow and one high flow groups. Vital signs were kept well controlled during the procedures. Notes the highest decrease in body temperature was in the high flow group, and a particularly cooled gas used for that group may have caused this.
At least in the context of dogs, this article seems to treat the question of flow rate and core body temp. as a ...

Rigorous research can be performed either qualitatively or quantitatively. The key is to pick the correct form for the research question that is being addressed. Some research questions have results that are best described numerically, like the percent of patients impacted by a particular practice, or a reduction in the number of hospitals days with the use of a particular nursing technique. These kinds of questions should utilize quantitative research approaches to quantify, or count, the effect being measured. However, some research questions cannot be answered by using just a number or percentage. These kinds of research questions should be studied using qualitative ...

Discussion and Comparison of Laparoscopic and Open Surgical Inguinal Hernia Repair in Adults.

Abstract
There is an ever increasing number of hernia repair surgeries required likely due to decreasing levels of physical activity amongst young adults and concurrent muscle wastage in the abdomen. Time off from work, staffing issues at hospitals, and cost of hospital bed space are some of the issues associated with the high cost of open surgical methods. Wound infection, decreased mobility, and recurrence of the hernia are problems associated with all surgeries. The last thirty years has seen the advent of laparoscopy and minimally invasive techniques of surgical repair. These methods offer the promises of decreased surgical ...

- No. Nyagar did not deserve her death. Although greed was, and still remains, a vice in Africa particularly a very great offence in the Luo community, he was not supposed to be killed by the mob. Although he was supposed to be eliminated not to disturb the community in future, he was not supposed to be brutally murdered. Instead, I suggest the matter would have been taken before to be given a fair trial. This is why the white officers complained and threatened to take a legal action against the perpetrators.

Sexual harassment is the coercion or the bullying of a sexual nature. It refers to the inappropriate or the unwelcome promise of rewards in exchange for sexual favors. Sexual harassment has been outlawed in many societies and legal action is usually taken against offenders. Sexual harassment usually increases when there is some unrest of any sort. Women demonstrators are targets of rape and other forms of sexual harassment during demonstrations as happened during the Arab uprising. Women demonstrators who opt to join counteraction groups sometimes face harassments not only from their oppressors but also from fellow male members of their ...

The concept of learned helplessness is ultimately a condition in which the specified animal or a human being learns to behave in a particular manner that is unique from the others. The character trait that a person learns becomes mutually embedded in ones behaviour hence becomes helpless in the context of trying to avoid over the same.

The condition arises when a person is continuously subjected in an aversive stimulus. The stimulus should be in the overview that one cannot escape from the quagmire hence an ...

In developmental psychology, there has always been a question, “how do new skills come to infants and where do they come from?” Some believe that new skills develop from prior accomplishments; others feel as one skill disappears, the new one quickly appears; some others believe that the skills are based on physical similarity - where old and new skills are similar in form. However, most widely believed theory is the shared psychological function where the old and the new skills rely on the same underlying psychological mechanisms with an objective to achieve the same goals.
We have summarised below ...

Cardiac arrests, in patients after a hospital stay are common, with an estimated yearly incidence of 36 to 128 per 100 000 patients in developed countries. (WHO, 2001) This is associated with a high mortality rate with a many patients having poor neurologic outcomes. (Mayer, 2002)
In view of this, The Hypothermia after Cardiac Arrest (HACA) study was conducted in five European countries with an objective of determining whether mild hypothermia increases the rate of neurologic recovery in patients who have suffered a cardiac arrest. The study included 275 patients out of 3551 patients assessed for eligibility. It was a blinded, multicentre, randomised ...

The Effect of Education on Religious Behavior and Religious Attendance of Muslim in the US

Putting a distinction between indoctrination and unbiased education has been a challenge to curriculum developers in educational institutions in America. Religion and education are diverging issues but also can be incorporated but with a given amount of limitation. Issues arise as to whether curriculum in private or public educational institutions should be designed in a manner as to incorporate different religions. This poses a challenge to curriculum developers considering those both private and public educational institutional harbor individuals who confess to different religions and some who do not confess to any religion (Norris & Inglehart, 2011).
Education curriculum developers thus develop curriculums that do ...

Conflicts are inevitable in all aspects of life in the modern world. Perhaps, this has been the case since the wake of humankind because human reasoning and prejudices are not heterogeneous. Behera (2006) asserts that there are many types of fines. The conflicts can be classified using many criteria. For instance, conflicts can be classified on the basis of whether or not they are helpful to the parties involved or to the institutions to which such parties are affiliated. In this case, the conflicts can be classified as either constructive or negative conflicts. Constructive conflicts are those associated with ...

Within Shirley Jackson’s short story, “The Lottery,” there are many underlying themes that raise questions about unexamined assumptions in modern society. One of these unexamined assumptions is the characteristics of human nature found within the characters in the story. Within the story, the villagers are all willing to accept the meaningless and harmful tradition of the Lottery because it is just part of their society. None of the villagers are willing to speak out against this tradition because they want to fit in. This shows the readers that within this story Jackson reveals that a characteristic of human nature ...
