In the highly urbanized areas, it is affected by pollutants caused by the by-products of industrialization (outdoor air pollution) and consumer ...

- Juvenile Delinquency
- Theories of Delinquency
Throughout history, communities and experts have varying opinions when it comes to explaining why there are juveniles or minors violating rules and laws. According to Martin (2005), early experts and communities tried to explain juvenile delinquency with two theories: demonism and naturalism. Naturalism pertains to the ‘practice of linking human affairs with the natural world, justifying human behavior with the influence of nature.’ For example, if the change due to lunar and solar cycles, human behavior is also affected by these forces. Ancient civilizations in the Mediterranean use this theory ...

Abstract

The principle purpose of this paper is to study about the correlation between musculoskeletal disorders and the related ergonomic risk factors.

Efficacy of Ondansetron in oral rehydration

Introduction
Ondansetron is a drug that blocks actions of chemicals within the body that can trigger an episode of vomiting or diarrhea (Freedman, 2016). The body has a system of regulating itself and fighting any harmful condition or substance. The medulla oblongata is responsible for the regulation of involuntary actions such as breathing, vomiting, thirst and heart rate. This part of the brain can detect various chemicals and hormones within the blood. When a potentially toxic substance gets detected, the chemoreceptor trigger zone initiates the vomiting process.
Ondansetron prevents nausea and vomiting caused by surgical activities or cancer medication. ...

The policy making process in the United States is a rather complex one. Politics and lobbying intricacies make the process long and divergent. Each policy takes a different path due to the impact the policy will have on laws and other legislations. However, modeling a policy making process simplifies the problem into important stages significant in the policy making process. Similarly in making the Medicaid and Children’s Health insurance plan the process under which these policies would be developed would be complex and equally different. Additionally policies differ in the jurisdiction which it covers, that is, federal policies cover the entire ...

Abstract

The immune and nervous systems are two body structures that have different functions. Moreover, most people may not be able to readily identify the and the relationship between these two. While the immune system is responsible in protecting the body from destructive and invading pathogens, the nervous system is tasked to relay information to the brain. This process allows for the proper coordination of the different functions of the body. In general, the concept of the connection between the nervous and the immune systems stems from the theoretical idea of stress. Stress is denoted both as a physiological and ...

The Solow Model

For long, the concept of economic change has been interesting economists. The reasons why some of the countries are poor while others are rich or even the understanding of why some nations grow faster than others has constantly disturbed the understanding of most economists.

Effect on Veterans

Effect on Veterans
The effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder can affect many individuals in several different ways, but for war veterans the lasting effects can be extremely debilitating. How this differs from anyone else is that the average soldier who is sent to a war zone is indoctrinated from an early period during their service that they are being bred to serve their country in any capacity necessary. Unfortunately this can mean that they are in effect being trained to die in the name of their country and/or beliefs. Many soldiers are even told that they might not ...

The Fair Sentencing Act

Like the old saying goes, “Cleanliness is next to godliness,” but at what point does cleaning and being tidy cross the line into mental illness? Likewise, while a large percentage of the population may admit to being a little superstitious and many hotels don’t include a 13th floor, at what point does certain superstitious beliefs and behaviors turn into compulsions or behaviors that must be carried out or else the individual is unable to proceed throughout his or her day? To an outsider, it may appear like a nonsense disease with behaviors that should be easy to curtail by just stopping the ...

Since the ancient times, it is visible that there is always a gap between societies that often divides them into two or more distinct groups. There are countries that have more political and economic capability than other countries, while there are countries that are better in social stability. In terms of people, they are mostly divided through their financial capability, educational attainment and upbringing, which would then determine as to whether or not they can keep up with the modern world.
