Cell culture is an in-vitro technique of cultivating cells under controlled conditions and in sterile conditions. The technique was first developed by Ross Harrison in 1907. During the process of cell culture, the cells are detached from their tissue of origin and segregated from each other, either by mechanical or enzymatic means. The detached cells are then transferred before culturing them in cell culture plate or flask. The first generation of producing cell through this method is called primary cell culture. The cells from the primary culture are transferred to a new culture plate with a fresh medium to ...

Nowadays, the studying of ethics has different faces. One can explore it through several prisms: either descriptive or normative, either metaethics or evolutionary one, etc. Frankly speaking, although each of these directions explores the same issues, the angles of view are rather different ones. What is more, many prominent scientists and researchers have devoted their professional efforts to prove the priority of certain positions. In this paper the position of Dutch primatologist and ethologist Frans de Waal will be thoroughly considered. To begin with, de Waal belongs to the researchers, the results of whose work are not the fruits ...

Introduction

Exom sequencing is also known as whole exom sequencing (WES). This sequencing technique is used to sequence all the expressed genes in a genome also called as exom. It is one of the most widely used targeted sequencing methods. The exom which is the protein coding region of the human genome consists of less than 2% of the genetic code. This region is responsible for containing more than 85% of known disease-related variants. Thus, whole exom sequencing is a cost-effective alternative to whole genome sequencing (WGS). This technique is efficient in identifying coding variants across a wide range of ...

Needs Assessment and Rationale Falls are a serious public health issue in the United States because it is the main cause of trauma-related incidents and injury-related emergency cases, and the leading cause of unexpected deaths among the elderly. People aged 65 and above comprise the majority of casualties from falls (Al-Faisal, 2006). The prevalence of falls rises continuously with age irrespective of gender and racial/ethnic affiliation. As reported by Stevens and colleagues (2010), “each year, about one-third of all older adults fall. In 2007, an estimated 1.9 million fall injuries among persons aged 65 years and older were treated ...

While the concept of race is today clearly recognized as fictitious, the term itself has taken an altogether new reality as a cultural denotation. More specifically, the culture of racism is largely influenced by geopolitical imagination and socio-political antagonism. The new political order referred to as “Empire” is a social frame work that posits “the inferiority of an “Other” based not in biology but in cultural differences and their insurmountability” (Semati, 257). Semati argues that ‘Brown’, once signified exoticism, but refers to menacing ‘Other’ today. The Brown in this case (in Semati’s article) refers to the Muslims of ...

Introduction

The most severe discriminations and oppressions of all times had been based on race and gender. Women and people of color had been subjects to this mistreatment because of their gender and races respectively. Societies have always tolerated the exploitation of women by men. Women have being viewed as the weak creature within the society for a long time with consequential oppression (Glenn 5). On the other hand, the people of color have been viewed by the white people as being the primitive races. This has made them be poorly regarded, and to some extent heavily exploited and discriminated ( ...

A digital image is a numerical representation of (usually binary) a two-dimensional image. It could be of the vector or the raster type. Normally, the phrase “digital image” refers to raster or bitmapped images. Raster images possess a fixed amount of digital values, which are called picture elements or pixels. Every image has a fixed number of rows and columns of these pixels. The pixels are stored in the memory of computers as raster images consisting of arrays of numbers. These are stored and transmitted in compressed formats (Sprawls, 2017). Computers are able to produce descriptive information about a ...

My name is Hoyi Tsui and I was born in 1991 in Hong Kong, China. While I was born in Hong Kong, I immigrated with my family to the United States when I was seven years old and have since lived in Salisbury, Maryland, which I consider my home. I always had a passion for biology and medicine and was thrilled to learn that a career in pharmacy was within my grasp after searching through a local community college catalog in 20011. Not long after this discovery, I found great success as a student in the college’s “Pharmacy ...

A chemist may be draw to the science because it contains physics and mathematics, with results clearly defined. On the other hand, biology can be messy, with fluids and disrupted bodies and patient suffering. For the nursing professional, there may be the temptation to define a physical process present in a patient as either biological or chemical. Technically, the definition for biology is simply the “scientific study of living organisms” (TheFreeDictionary.com), while chemistry is “a science that deals with the composition, structure, and properties of substances and of the transformations that they undergo” (Merriam-webster.com). However, the lines blur when ...

Psychology of Human Sexuality

Psychology of Human Sexuality The sexuality of a human being is an uncertain thing. Physically, it is determined at the conception of the child, as the X and Y chromosomes will reach a configuration that will allow the newly formed organism to be classified as male or female. The genitalia however that are so vital to many in determining whether one is a boy or a girl will not be visible until upwards of 17 to 20 weeks during a pregnancy. The physical sexuality of a person is determined early on in life, but the overall gender they allude ...

Chromatography is the method for separating components from a mixture on the principle of the relative quantity of each element that is distributed between a moving fluid medium referred to as the mobile phase, and the immediate stationary phase. Chromatography is employed in the separation of various mixtures (Wixom and Charles, 103). It is used in the preparation of materials for purifying them. Chromatography has several uses in biological and chemical worlds. Chromatography is broadly applied in biochemical research to identify and separate chemicals or biological origin. This method is applied in the petroleum industry to determine and analyze ...

I strongly support the views expressed by Zhou in the article. It is often said that America is a land of liberty, equality and opportunity. The gifted people get what they deserve. Asian Americans have proved their ability and they have been credited for one of the major drivers of American economy. They are called “Model Minority”. The previous generations of Asian Americans came to this land to shape their future and the future of their next generations. They got liberty and opportunities to prosper as elite Americans. It clearly indicates that America is a land of liberty and ...

I would like to start with the words Megan Chao (1998): “For many centuries, discovering the fountain of youth has been just a dream for humans. Aging is an inevitable process in human life, the result of a highly variable biological cycle. (p.1) Nevertheless aging people continue living full of life, continue working and changing conditions of their lives to the better side. Czaja and Moen (2004) predicted “by 2010 the number of workers age 55+ will be about 26 million, a 46 percent increase since 2000, and by 2025 this number will increase to approximately 33 million.”( ...

Introduction

Mexico is one the richest regions in the world in animal and plant diversity. It is divided into three regions: Southern, Northern and Central Mexico. Each region has unique geographical regions with different climate ranging from tropical jungles and forests to mountains and deserts. Many biological inventories refer this country to the category of mega-diverse country that means that a region is a home to about 60-70% of entire biological diversity of the world. Such natural diversity of flora and fauna allows for people living in Mexico to have a rich and varied diet. (De la Borbolla 42) The ...

Human beings are unique in their quest to understand the origin of life, and the urge rationalize nature and the world that surrounds them. We have developed various disciplines to better understand the natural world around us (Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology) and ourselves (Psychology, Physiology etc.). Anthropology is a discipline that tries to understand what it means to be human by looking at biological, evolutionary, cultural, and linguistic aspects. The word “Anthropology” is derived from Greek “Anthropos” meaning human and “Logos” meaning word(Lewis, Jurmain, & Kilgore, 2012). There are four major subfields of anthropology viz., biological, archeological, linguistic and ...

End-of-life care refers to the provision of care to patients with incurable terminal illnesses and patients who are in a permanent vegetative state, and that type of care is one of the most commonly debated ethical issues in contemporary health care for two reasons. First, because of the development and advancement of medical techniques and technologies, physicians and nurses are now able to prolong the patients’ lives, but those interventions do not always improve the patients’ quality of life or maintain their human dignity (Cherry & Jacob, 2016). Second, the human population is aging, so the prevalence of terminal illnesses ...

Influence of Nurture on the Process of Becoming a

Abstract This is a research paper that presents connections between family’s part in the process of becoming a successful adult. It concentrates on answering specific questions: “How do families with all their complexity influence their children’s psychological development since the early childhood? In what way are the family background and students’ academic achievements (successful/unsuccessful life) related?” These questions are answered through analysis of a group of 15 people from different familial backgrounds, each of whom had a simple task of telling about their childhood experience. Information obtained is later compared and contrasted with various scholarly studies of ...

In the majority of states all crimes are divided into two groups: felonies and misdemeanors. The difference between these two groups is in seriousness of crimes. (Hasselm, 2011) If this is a felony, an accused person can get 1 year in prison, life imprisonment without parole or even the death penalty. If it is a misdemeanor, an accused person could be punished by less than 1 year or a year of imprisonment and/or fine. Crimes are not equal in weight. General public considers some of the crimes more severe than others. (Kappeler, 2014) The majority of people considers the ...

The company was, at that time, engaged in small scale jewelry importation. It imported pre-manufactured jewelries from Thailand and sold it to its customers for a profit. Enevoldsen, upon seeing that there is a great potential ...

It is true that we call ourselves humans because our elders call themselves humans. If our elders have called themselves gorilla, then we would have called ourselves gorilla. While our ancestors lived in caves and hunted for food, we live in modern houses and eat processed food. There has been a dramatic change in the way we think and live. Except for some similar forms, human body and mind have undergone dramatic change, over the time. Modern man has inherited a number of changes that ancient human beings have undergone over the ages. Evolutional anthropological knowledge can be used ...

Chapter 2

These very few words are chosen because they are very true. Gender is indeed a social construct. Being born a biological female can be quite degrading at times because the society has become accustomed to how a lady should act, how she should speak, and most importantly, how she should deal with men.

Society teaches men to be more dominant than women.

These are really short but powerful words. It speaks the truth about gender roles then and now. Men are more dominant because they are physically stronger. In addition, there is a socio-historical factor why men still dominate women in most cases even in modern ...

Genetic counselling is defined as the information, guidance, and support provided by a genetic counsellor or medical geneticist to an individual, a couple, or a family about a genetic condition. The information may help the client (affected individual or family) understand how a gene variant underlies an observed phenotype, disease prognosis, and the probability of transmission to progeny. Apart from information to help the client make informed decisions about lifestyle, treatment, and reproduction, a counsellor provides psychosocial support to minimize the adverse psychological, intrafamilial, and social consequences of genetic testing. Therefore, genetic counselling has an educational as well as ...

Policy Brief, Design and Evaluation of A Public Policy: Child Welfare in the Changing Family Unit

Introduction Children need a conducive environment where they can grow in peace and develop in all other areas that relate to their welfare. The conventional family unit consisted of a nuclear set up comprising of a man, woman and the children they sired together. Such formed the foundation through which children could draw strength and some kind of inspiration due to the availability of both gender parents (Conger and Donnellan, 2007, p175). According to Hobson and Fahlén, (2009) it was also an opportunity where the man and woman would bring up their children together and give them love ...

Any human society can be conditionally divided into two parts in terms of gender. Sexual identity helps to understand one's biological role in procreation and influences people's social behavior. Belonging to males or females is traditionally associated with particular body and character features that are exclusively characteristic of men or women and considered as factors determining life roles. Gender as a binary relationship is a controversial question, comprising both nurture and nature issues. Therefore, it should be regarded from both points of view. Sexuality and gender identity resulted in social stereotypes of human behavior and psychological, mental, and physical ...

Introduction

Development is a word that describes the process of growth, adaptation, and changes that people undergo during their lifetime characterized by personality, physical, cognitive, socioemotional, and language developments. The work of developmental psychologists helps the society to understand different developmental theories and how they influence life in various stages of life through various development theories. Development theories describe various factors that influence the development pattern of an individual that include hereditary and environmental factors. On the other hand, other psychological experts argue that development is controlled by nature and nurture that combine to influence biological factors. However, psychological developments ...

Liu, T., Moeller, S. K., Ode, S., & Robinson, M. D. (2013). Neuroticism as Distancing: Perceptual Sources of Evidence. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 104(5), 907-920.

Which perspective of personality did the authors take?

In both study 3 and 4, the researchers focus on how neuroticism (one of the five traits according to Eysenck) influences individuals’ perceptions of stimuli with positive or negative valence. A biological perspective is also evident in the fact that high neuroticism is dependent on an individual having an overactive sympathetic nervous system, thus a higher tendency for anxiety. The biological factor influences how each participant responds to the stimuli presented in ...

Psychological disorder is a disorganization of the central nervous system work. A personality disorder is sustained template of standing and conduct that differs from templates that are regarded as normal by a human’s culture. Symptoms of any personality disorder stay the same in various situations and become apparent by early matureness. These symptoms induce anguish or make it hard for a person to act normally in public. (Claridge, 60) The aim of this paper is to research the paranoid personality disorder, its symptoms, environmental and biological causes and possible treatment methods, and finds out the prognosis and prospects ...

The first part of the film discusses the biology of human race variations. The section of the film illuminates the differences that exist between individuals are only based on the skin and the genetic code for humans is similar (Vidal 1). The main argument of the video is that there is not a sole gene that can exclusively define race. The section should be discussed as there is a misconception of race and biological set ups that cause a difference among individuals. Misconceptions on genetic variations should be done away with and the truth illustrated on the issue that ...

The science of Criminology is a relatively new field of science (Siegel, 2010). The beginnings of real criminology are noted with the Classical school of thought, whose scholars hypothesized that crime, is a result of the discerning decision and can be controlled with prevention strategies. (Hall, 2013) Since that time criminologists have developed, exacerbated, or grown new thoughts of why individuals perpetrate crime, including speculations that lead to biological, psychological, and sociological reasons for crime which we will discuss further. (Siegel, 2010) Some of the first attempts to explain crime were essentially biological in nature. Italian criminologist Cesare Lombroso, ...

Introduction:

Nanobiotechnology serves as an imperative technique in the development of clean, nontoxic, and eco-friendly procedures for the synthesis and congregation of metal NPs having the intrinsic ability to reduce metals by specific metabolic pathways. Silver nanoparticles are particularly interesting nanoscale systems due to the ease with which they can be synthesised and modified chemically. Synthesis of silver nanoparticles has been widely researched due to their interesting size and shape-dependent properties [26]. These novel properties can be tailored by controlling their size, shape, composition, structure and crystallinity. Due to their size features and advantages over available anti-microbial properties, chemical imaging ...

There has been increasing awareness of the role of waste in the production of greenhouse gas emissions and its impacts on climate change. Diminishing natural resources has led to the recognition that what is discarded as waste has the potential to be reused as resources. Governmental legislation on prohibiting toxic materials and prevention and control of the volume of waste has helped in decreasing adverse environmental effects. There is a growing public awareness about waste prevention and its beneficial effects. The society has to replace the linear model of extract-produce-consume-dispose to closed Loop's approach of resource recovery and waste ...

Psychology: Nature vs. Nurture Essay

Language constitutes an essential characteristic of human beings and is regarded as a primary form of communication between individuals. The role of nature and nurture in language acquisition among young children has been a continuous debate in developmental sciences, education, and social sciences like sociology and psychology. This issue is not only conflicting but also complementary. It has laid a foundation for better understanding of how biological and environmental factors interact to influence language development in children (Yusa et al. 2011). Available research shows that there is no clear pattern of the causes and effects associated with human cognition ...

Family law refers to the body of laws, rules, and guidelines that regulate issues arising from or relate to marriages, civils unions, and other forms of domestic partnerships. Naturally, children are a focus area of family law. Furthermore, adoption, or the assumption by one person or couple of the parenting rights of a child from the child’s biological parent, is a key element of family law’s focus on children. Interestingly systematic rules for adoption is a fairly recent addition to family law. That is to say, the formal and legal adopting a child is a modern concept. ...

Introduction

It is evident that the early biological theories on criminology seemingly adopted a one-sided inclination to the Darwinian views of evolution. The theories downplayed other social and economic factors that trigger an individual to adopt a deviant personality. Later, sociology came forth providing irrefutably challenging evidence that evolution alone was not a factor that triggered a criminal character, but the influence of the society through its subcultures as a factor that affected the future decisions of an individual (Crawford, 2013).

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 ...

A time when I had to make a change in my personal life was when I felt I had to transform from childhood to adulthood. This was in my adolescent years and I had to embrace the biological changes and social factors that had come with age. A change theory that would apply to my situation is the behavioral change theory. According to In Riekert et al. (2014), the behavioral change theory encompass the factors taken into consideration by an individual in seeking to determine why behaviors are dynamic. These are factors such as those in the environment, learning, ...

Synthetic biology is a science of engineering combined with biology, where the disciplines of genetics, engineering and biophysics are gathered and studied in order to improve the knowledge of the biological processes in our lives. Some scientists argue about the properness of using the principles of synthetic biology along with imposing a moratorium on the use and release of organisms. Biologists nowadays try to learn as much as they can about various organisms and improve the relationship between biology and engineering. Different biological systems are examined in order to make the foundations for industries of energy, medicine and healthcare. ...
