It also explains why the prevailing emotional climate affects people’s ability to enjoy or dread marriage as associated with their respective DNA characteristics.

The article argues that a gene variant called 5-HTTLPR has been discovered to be linked with the influence of certain emotions on marital satisfaction. The specific strain of this ...

There exists about 300,000 plant species on earth, and every individual plant hosts one or more endophytes. However, it is just a few of these plants that have been researched relative to their endophytic biology. Hence, the chance for isolation of new, as well as, interesting endophytic bacteria in plants are important. Endophytic bacteria can be referred to as bacteria that can be isolated from tissues of a surface-disinfected plant or bacteria extracted from inside of a plant, which cause no visible negative effects to the plant. Almost every plant is populated by varied bacteria referred to as endophytes. Majority of ...

- Ultimately for Berlin, a culture’s values were what defined the lives of the people in the culture. These circumstantial truths served as guideposts for how one should live their respective lives in order to be an upstanding and valuable citizen. However, these values were not always compatible to those of another culture, according to Berlin. What is true in one society may not be true in another. Yet, this difference served a key function in the understanding of that particular culture. Through the examination of values, anthropologists could work to decipher the fabric of the culture and its relative ...

Introduction

Huxhold, Miche and Schuz (2013) conducted a study on the on the importance of informal social settings in the old age. The study has exceptionally useful findings. In their longitudinal study that targeted middle-aged and older adults, these authors assessed the age-deferential effects of having family or friends in the old age. The study showed that social associations have an impact on the well-being of old people. The type of social association (with family or friends) determines whether the impact is positive or negative. Huxhold, Miche and Schuz (2013) examined the impact of having close friends and/or family in the ...

Democracy is a form of government where citizens take an active part in the formulation and establishment of laws that govern the society. The involvement of these citizens is either direct or indirect through representatives. In simple terms, in a democratically run nation, the real power is vested in the citizens. A democratically run society is characterized by equality, and rights that apply to everyone. In addition, the law applies equally to every single citizen. Democracy is currently a feature in many countries across the world although there are some countries that are not democratized. However, questions have always been asked regarding ...

Literature

For the past few decades reports on teacher’s performance in relation to motivation have hit the country’s media. Although the concept of improving on teachers attention seems new to many policy makers, the discussion started as early as in 1860’s. During this time teachers were required to place their focus on moral character of students more than their performance (Brandt, 1990). A high percentage of teachers by then were women who had elementary education qualifications, and who could leave the field once they got married.
As a result of industrialization, the purpose and duties of schools ...

The effect of minimum wage on employment has been one of the most explored topic in the discipline of labor economics. During the global recession that plagued the world recently, the rate of employment for the low-skilled and young workers (who comprise the largest component of all minimum workers) worsened disproportionately. Traditionally, some economists have argued that the imposition of a minimum wage that is above the market clearing equilibrium wage reduces employment and at the same time contributes to unemployment particularly among the relatively unskilled as well as the young workers. This is quite ironical given that this is ...

Age of maturity is a very important aspect of growth and development that has been at the forefront of many scientific experiments over the years. Berrigan and Charnov(Berrigan & Charnov, 1994) first came up with a postulate on how the size and age of maturity of reptile and fishes were interrelated. Berrigan and Charnov through their paper, created a scientific puzzle wherein, the growth is positively correlated to slight increase in temperature, therefore creating a positive slope in the size-to-age at maturity reaction norm. On the other hand, if food is the deciding factor and not temperature, ...

Introduction
Racial and ethnic relations have been studied from the beginnings of the 20th century, and the way it has been studied has undergone many changes over the years. While these relations were studied as an ideological means to assert one race’s superiority over the other, with the civil rights movements and the influx of immigrants in many western societies, the study of race and ethnic relations have taken much more complex dimensions such as perceptions of people about racial compositions, perceptions of risk and fear of crime, and the interrelations and interconnectedness through social interactions between ...

Interpersonal Communication Theories and Infidelity

Interpersonal Communication Theories and Infidelity
Infidelity is a common problem found in many relationships and marriages. Whether couples are married or dating, straight or gay, it appears that 48% of couples are unfortunately bound to experience a period of infidelity . Many believe that infidelity only brings on episodes of conflict between the couple, followed by an inevitable breakup or divorce. They do not think there is any way through infidelity, or that there is any other type of communication involved. However, interpersonal communication is far more complex than that, and the couple can become mired in several different theories in ...

The discovery of DNA as the genetic material was one of the landmark events in the field of biology. By confirming DNA as the genetic material scientists made a huge leap that has advanced the cause of medical science to a great degree. While discussing the discovery of DNA as the genetic material, we mostly speak of Friedrich Miescher (1871), the man who discovered DNA. After the discovery of DNA a significant number of studies were conducted that proved DNA as the genetic material. Then Griffith, (1928) conducted studies on bacterial transformation and indicated that genetic information can be transferred from one ...

Introduction

This term paper explores the issue of weather affecting pollution in major cities. In a major city, where there can be a higher proportion of pollution sources in a relatively small geographical area, the effects are likely to be more distinct and concentrated.
Whilst there are several causes of air pollution, it is known that the air quality at any given time can be affected by the prevailing weather conditions. For example, strong winds can rapidly transport pollutants released into the air great distances from the originating source. Conversely, in conditions when there is very light wind or in still air, the ...

Introduction

According to Alpers et al. (2013), for every 100 adults in the U.S., there are currently 101.5 guns privately owned (both legally and illegally), which puts the U.S. at the top of world rankings for gun ownership (178 countries). In the last decade or so, the number of deaths in the U.S. from firearms has risen from almost 29,000 to over 32,000, equating to over 10 per 100,000 people. So does that extent of gun ownership and homicides mean that more laws are needed to control not just gun ownership but also their use?

Introduction

The thyroid gland is an essential gland found in various vertebrates, and has thyroid follicles (comprised of thyroid epithelia cells), which are supplied by a dense network of blood capillaries. The thyroid tissue’s main function is the biosynthesis and secretion of the thyroid hormone, which is an essential biological molecule existing in either of two forms, T3 and T4. The activity of the thyroid gland is controlled through the neuroendocrine system, which involves the hypothalamus and the secretory actions of the pituitary gland. TSH plays a key role in stimulating the thyroxin-binding globulin (TGB) and the uptake of blood iodine ...

Introduction

Intellectuals spent a considerable period of time during the 20th century discussing skeptical arguments which claim that it is impossible to have knowledge of the existing world. These arguments stem from theories of Descartes and have been the basis of heated discourses on the subject of the external world. The skeptics to the notion of the external world have claimed that their premises on the subject are intuitively obvious. However, they have not offered empirical evidence to underpin their intuition. Some authors contend that the intuitions underpinning their skeptical arguments are universal (widely shared) for those who think critically about ...

6.9% of adult population suffers from diabetes in the US. However, the percentage of African American population with diabetes is almost double. According to the National health interview survey almost 13% of all African American over the age of 18 have diabetes (minority.health.hhs.gov). Additionally, as opposed to other population groups, more African Americans suffer from diabetes related serious complications. It has been documented that a well developed educational intervention program improves patient’s understanding of disease, self management proficiency and disease outcome. However, there is a need for development of novel and potent intervention strategies especially adapted for racial/ethnic minority and ...

Population

Population in research means the whole composition of individual or items that could possibly be included in the study. This is the whole inclusion on which inferences will be drawn based on random sampling (Wysocki, 2008). Subpopulation is a subset of a population where it has different properties therefore said to be heterogeneous. For example, in our study, victims of disasters are heterogeneous since they come from different social, economic, and political backgrounds.

Sampling

A sample is a subgroup of individuals selected from a population. Sampling in simple terms means selecting a portion of the population in the study area which will be a representative of ...

The main purpose of a quantitative research study is to determine the relationships between a dependent and independent variable in a population. These researches are either experimental or descriptive. While an experimental study establishes casualty, a descriptive study usually establishes the association of the research variables (Madrigal & McClain, 2012 p.7). In Jerry Burger’s study, which sought to determine the association between obedience and authority while replicating Milgram’s experiment in the current society, he sought to conduct an experimental quantitative research study. In such studies, the sampling strategy and sample sizes used to reach the results are important in either strengthening or ...

Nature vs. Nurture

Abstract
For centuries man has been trying to determine what makes a person moral. Some have theorized that babies are born with an innate sense of morality while others debate this theory with their own beliefs that human ethics are molded by their environment. Those in the field of psychology have long endeavored to find commonalities that would explain human personalities. Even though all humans have similar traits there are also many ways that make us all unique. In the search to understand the relationship between commonality and uniqueness, several different theories of personality have been developed ("The study ...

Abstract

Breakfast is often recommended as an integral part of a healthy diet. In most cases, breakfast healthiness accrues from micronutrient intakes. Because of breakfast supremacy in the regular lives, most researches have been conducted to explore the relevance of breakfast and cognitive ability on young children. In this research proposal, I document a planned proposal that seeks to explore the connection between breakfast and children’s cognitive ability. I intend to make use of already performed experiments to make case of the relevant of a good breakfast for steadfast academic performance.

Annotation Strategy for Reading Comprehension

Introduction
Students need to have someone who supports them to improve and develop their reading skills, especially students with learning disabilities. Every teacher, even content area teachers, need to use some methods to help their students with reading comprehension, because if the students lack the knowledge of reading comprehensions, their performance deteriorates. There are different methods that teachers can use to help students in reading comprehensions. These methods include GIST, annotation, and a technique that found by Aulls, which uses four rules (Mary, Robyn, Marie, & Peter, 2013).

PART 1

Society and institutions are key concepts in sociological studies. From as early as the 1980s, there have been attempts to revise the key sociological concepts of institutions giving rise to ‘New Institutionalism” or “Neoinstitutionalism.” At first, the ideas were based on organizational theory but the ideas quickly broadened to include micro sociology or individualism and global sociology. In sociological studies, institutional analysis is conducted for understanding how institutions affect and influence individual and collective human behavior. Conclusions can be made through empirical approaches or inferential analyses, which give various scientifically admissible conclusions on the subject. Past studies have shown ...

Adult Hippocampal neurogenesis has often been associated with hippocampus-dependent learning memory. The whole process of neuron development is highly and differently susceptible to various factors and conditions that affect its survival, as well as functionality. Various prior researches have indicated that spatial training occurring 6-10 days after an injection of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), which is a DNA synthesis marker, increased the cell’s survival rate in male rats. However, sex differences has been reported in spatial cognition and hippocampal neurogenesis, hence developing difficulties in understanding whether spatial training would affect males and females hippocampal neurogenesis similarly.
Therefore, the article by ...

The study of critical mixed theory is not only a complex field of study, but also a field that must be examined in a multidimensional view. The mixed race theory entangles itself with political, social, and economic implication in the study of racial identities and the ‘race problem’. People with a multiracial background may experience difficulties in identifying with a particular class of people. This is because racial identities give a person the sense of belongingness. Moreover, one tends to develop a sense of self that is crucial to self-acceptance. However, even where there is a defined mixed race, a sense of belongingness can only be realized if ...

Introduction

Communication is a dynamic human activity that is defined and influenced by many factors. Interpersonal communication is especially influenced by the environment within which individuals live. As a consequence of the factors that inform interpersonal communication, there often arises conflict between different communicants. Depending on whether one comes from a culture that values independence or one in which interdependence is the norm, conflicts are resolved differently. In this proposal I will outline the path I intend to take to examine the different ways in which conflict is resolved in both individualistic and collectivistic cultures (Adler and Proctor II 395).

Conformity studies were carried out by Asch to find out how individuals make their decisions when in a group of individuals. In this study, individuals who did not belong to a certain group were put together with another group of people. All these individuals were then provided with lines of different length and each was required to choose the longest and shortest of the lines. When the new subjects in this study came across a group of other people, they were convinced to discard their own judgment about the length of the lines and instead adopt the position of the group members. ...

The Tuskegee Syphilis Study took place more than 70 years ago in Tuskegee, Alabama. The study was conducted by the Public Health Service (PHS) (Prograis 21). The study was originally entitled the "Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male" (Northridge 1271). There were 399 African American men that were diagnosed with syphilis but were never told of their diagnosis, never treated, and were watched and studied as the disease progressed so that the symptoms could be studied. Many of the men in the study died as a result of their illness. The survivors were denied penicillin after its ...

Writing

The student plagiarized about 70% of the original source of writing from the first passage. The paper lacks proper citation of the source of information because there is no use of quotation marks yet there is use of exact words used in the original source. The use of the exact words like “tainted by conflict of interest” and other sentences is evidence that the student did not understand the meaning of paraphrasing because a good student would have written it in another language while still conveying the same message. There is addition of a point of view or idea; all the ...

- Advantages of Using Archival Methods
Archival method allows one to study how men and women use different statements in e-mails by allowing a wide coverage of data and across long time spans. This means that the data to be analyzed will be distributed over a wide period of time including those of earlier times.

Disadvantages of Using Archival Methods

Archival method makes use of the publicly available data and therefore it has a limitation in accessing private information that might be necessary for research. Some of the statements made by people might not used in e-mails but can be applied verbally that can be accessed ...

Sigmund Freud and Erik Erikson are two fundamental basics of discussion, research, and theory when discussing child development and psychology. Before Freud came to the United States, ‘talk therapy’ was not even something that was used here, but was becoming popular in Europe. This concept was fought as a controversial technique in the United States, but Freud was determined, and it is now the basic and most common type of therapy in psychiatry today.
Erikson focused more on child development, which is a growing field of research today. Children are not merely little adults, but function in a very different way. ...

Often, workers and management have a difficult time reaching consensus and coming to a mutual agreement regarding how best to conduct operations. This is what happened in Langewiesche's story "American Ground" - in this story, a worker dispute rose between all of the different groups that were responsible for the cleanup on September 11th. The construction workers were attempting to clear the rubble, while the police attempted to keep the public at bay and secure the area and the firefighters went around looking for survivors. Every group had their own idea of how to go about accomplishing these similar goals, and that ...

Introduction

Genetic evolution refers to change(s) in inheritable traits occurring across succeeding generation of organisms. The change (evolution) is responsible for the diversity at all levels including the molecular level e.g. genetic variations, individual organisms in the same species (intra-species variations) and among species (interspecies variations). It is believed that all organisms emanated from common ancestry about 3.7 billion years ago and then evolved over time to the present biodiversity. Therefore all organisms have some shared traits at the morphological and molecular level with the species sharing a more recent ancestry having more similar traits. The process of evolution involves ...

Michael Faraday was born on 22 September 1791 in the southern part of London. Due to his disadvantaged background, he was not able to attend full education only achieving basic literacy (Faraday 1). At the age of 14, he apprenticed under a local bookbinder. For the next 7 years, he educated himself by reading books on a wide range of subjects mostly scientific (Hamilton 23; Scientific papers). In 1812, at the age of 20, Faraday received some tickets for a series of lectures conducted by the eminent scientist Humphrey Davy of the Royal University of Great Britain. He attended four lectures and ...

Internal validity refers to the degree of claim of the existence of cause and effect relationship between certain dependent and independent variables in a research study. External validity, on the other hand, refers to the inferential process that tries to establish whether it is possible for a researcher to generalize the findings of a research study basing on the settings, outcomes, times and the people considered in the experiments. However, there are factors that might make a researcher fail in the generalizations as well as in the results obtained in the attempt to establish the existence of a cause and effect relationship.

Threats to internal validity

These are ...
