A detailed analysis of The Shallow: What the Internet is doing to our brains by Carl explores the topic of the effects of the internet to human life to uncover facts, both positive and negative about the internet. From the book, one can tell that Carr has a protagonist stand against the internet despite noting a few positives on what it has done to technology, health, communication and even normal human living. Carr identifies that human brains and thinking have become dependent on the internet, an aspect that has reduced creativity and coming up with new knowledge (Carr, 2010, ...

I believe that making a summary is a challenging task. Reproducing a shorted form of the author’s ideas, particularly in large works (e.g. chapters), can be overwhelming. Understanding the thoughts in details is one thing. Compressing it while staying faithful to the central ideas I believe will compress my brain as well. I cannot imagine compressing a 10,000-word chapter in 250-word summary. My first reaction was: even stringing the key words together into a summary may not limit the volume into 250 words. Hard the task may be, I believe certain skills can be learned in forcing ...

Sports activities promote strengthening of health, inspire us though all kinds of media, advertising of the fitness centers and even via doctors. However amateur sport and professional – two absolutely different categories. Any who seriously is engaged in this or that type of athletics, fight, soccer, will tell you as far as it is difficult and, the main thing, injury-causing. “Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a complex injury with a broad spectrum of symptoms and disabilities” (TBI, 2017). Sports working capacity depends on severity of the remaining consequences and specifics of the corresponding sport. It is necessary to exclude or ...

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 ...

Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy is caused by the presence of several neurological problems in the brain and nervous system that are affecting the movement as well as co-ordination. Specifically, muscle controlling parts of the brain are affected in cerebral palsy. Usually, the condition develops as a result of the abnormal development of the brain as a result of mutations in the genes or damage to the brain before, at the time of, or shortly after birth. For example, infection caught by the mother in pregnancy or bleeding in the brain of the baby could result in cerebral palsy (NHS, nhs.uk). Signs ...

Public Health

Public Health Today, many diseases, which emerge can be transmitted to a large number of population in different parts of the world. Everyone is vulnerable, even though technology and other health care informatics are evolving every day. However, there are efforts from different professionals in the medical field to address all health concerns and diseases that target the human species. In 2015, the Zika virus disease has been identified as a local transmission in Brazil and continue to spread through different areas of the United States. In the following year, travel-associated cases have been reported to increase. In addition ...

In the article, “Diverging Development: The Not-so-invisible Hand of Social Class in the United States”, Furstenberg said that social class is quickly beginning to shape the development of children, even before the child is born. Classism is alive in the form of less opportunities for lower social classes, forming a class that isn’t necessarily unintelligent, but uneducated. There exists a stereotype against those of lower social classes that these people do not strive to rise in the social hierarchy, and they often receive sub-par assistance, in part, through this prejudice. The article argues that social class is part ...

The demographic profile

As it has been indicated by Kumar et al (2014) in the scope of their study, the lion share of the statistical data on demographic profile of epilepsy from both developed and developing countries may be referred as a retrospective one. It means that there is an insignificant number of the studies, which pertain to the selected age group – children in the current realities of the 21st century (Garzon et al 237-245). As it was indicated by Garzon et al (2003), the core limiting factor in this case is the access to the professional health care services in the ...

One of the brightest characters in philosophy XVII century was Rene Descartes. He was a great French philosopher and mathematic, a developer of classical rationalism. His main work is «Principles of Philosophy». Descartes accepted the existence of two substances: matter with a length attribute and spirit with a mentality attribute. According to Descartes, matter is eternal Universe that consists of corpuscles that can divide endlessly. Material things in addition to length can characterize movement as well. Descartes criticized scholasticism and theology and he did it from the rational point of view. Descartes asserted the idea of almightiness and impeccability ...

Harnessing energy while walking to charge your phone would be a new technological development. The world is seeking other alternative sources of energy, especially given the looming threat of water shortage which is a problem to hydro-electricity (Wang, et al, 2016). Hence, this product will reduce the over-reliance of electricity and phone batteries thus contributing to environmental sustainability. Capturing energy from human motion is a promising energy source as it reduces exploitation of resources, particularly because it avoids extreme energy consumption. Further, people achieve significant health benefits by walking rather than driving or riding in motorcycles. More so, the ...

Post-stroke dysphagia, a potentially fatal complication, affects an estimated 23-50% of all stroke survivors. It is associated with a seven fold increase in the risk for aspiration pneumonia. Aspiration pneumonia increases the catabolic demands of the body and in the settings of impaired swallowing leads to a vicious cycle of malnutrition, dehydration, and further infections (Shaker & Geenen, 2011). Dysphagia affects a significant number of patients with hemispheric stroke which is the main subtype of ischemic stroke in the general population (Kumar et al., 2011). The functions of swallowing are subserved by a vast brain network. The inferior peri-rolandic sensorimotor ...

Introduction5 Literature Review..6 Conclusion....11 References..12 Abstract Negative (opposing or intimidating) events arouse robust and speedy physiological, rational, emotive, and social reactions. This organization of the organism is accompanied by physical, cognitive, and interactive results that diminish, lessen, and even wipe out the influence of that incident. This array of mobilization-minimization seems to be bigger for undesirable events than for unbiased or positive happenings. Hypothetical explanations of this response form are reviewed in this paper. Further, it will give a verdict on whether negative bias has been helpful or harmful to the process of human evolution. It is established that ...

Introduction As a child, the mind is easily in awe and wonder about the simplest or most basic experiences. Experts argue that this may be the case because children’s brains are wired differently compared to when they grow up as adults. When children grow up, their brain physiology and chemistry change so as to accommodate other sections of the brain that are necessary for adulthood. Consequently, individual loses her child-like wonder when experiencing ordinary events as an adult. Therefore, childhood is a time when the brain focuses on allowing the child to develop by ...

Introduction

As the world develops, more people expect a higher and better quality of life. In the 21st Century, architecture has evolved significantly and it seeks to maximise the quality of life that people have across the world. Thus, several works have been done, seeking to blend traditional architecture with other disciplines in order to enhance the nature of the built environment. The purpose of this paper is to conduct a book review on Cognitive Architecture: Designing for How We Respond to the Built Environment by Professors Ann Sussman and Justin Hollander. This book review will include an overview of ...

The transitional phase between childhood and adulthood is a stage in human development and growth commonly described as adolescence. This stage begins at the age of around 11 to 13 years with the start of puberty which means the development of the reproductive processes. In the United States, adolescence is defined as the age span of 10 to 24 years (Edelman, Mandle & Kudzma, 2014). Unlike childhood stages where growth is slow and steady, adolescence is a period characterized by rapid changes in cognitive, physical, psychosocial, moral and spiritual growth as the shift from childhood to young adulthood takes place. ...

Abstract

Some theories focus on explaining developmental changes that happen to humans. The Social Cognitive Theory represents one of the many theories of psychology that explain human behavior. The theory was introduced by Miller and Dollard in 1941 and later advanced by Bandura and Walters in 1963. The main concepts of the theory are personal, behavioral, and environmental factors. Other concepts including self-control and efficacy, observational learning, and many others help in understanding the interaction between the environment, person, and behavior. On the other hand, the theory operates on five assumptions that relate the theory to learning, language self-control, and ...

Introduction It is a common knowledge that exercise is good for the health. However, only a people few exercises regularly. The National Center for Health Statistics in the United States, for instance, reports that barely half or only 49% of the adult population meets the standard guidelines for aerobic exercise while only 20.9% are meeting the guidelines for aerobic and muscle strengthening exercise (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). With almost 80% of adults not getting the recommended exercise, health experts are becoming increasingly worried about its impact to the health and well-being of individuals and society ...

Psychology

Hypothesis: Intelligence is not genetically inherited. Intelligence has less to do with genetics than with the socio-cultural environment in which a person has grown. The rise of genetics gave people a chance to prove that intelligence is genetically inherited. However, deep studies suggest otherwise. It is the environment and availability of resources that shape the intelligence of an individual. If people who are considered non-intelligent, are provided the same educational opportunities and social environment, then their display of intelligence will be on par with other people who developed in the same environment. Turkheimer and co-researchers (623) in their article ...

Poly-trauma and Blast Exposure

Poly-trauma is a condition in which the body organ systems and physical regions develop injuries (Faist & Heberer, 2006). Injuries that define poly-trauma can be life threatening to victims. These injuries risk the victims psychosocial, psychological cognitive, and patients functional ability. Poly-trauma and blast exposure are commonly found together. When defense personnel and veterans are exposed to more powerful military explosions, they are more often than not likely to experience poly-traumatic injuries. Such exposure can cause penetration of blast injuries to the body and to the brain. Exposure to Military explosions may as well cause severe hemorrhage that comes from ...

Sharp changes of mood and fervor of teenagers can be explained with the emission of hormones accompanying puberty. Certainly, hormones stimulate emotionality of young men and girls. But as the latest researches, the prime reason of typical teenage behavior – the revolutionary changes happening in a brain show. When the peak of readiness of cells of a brain to form active neural connections is reached, there are notable changes in behavior. Results of researches say that this period includes absolutely certain changes happening to all teenagers (regardless of culture in which they grow): the increased thirst for new; neglect ...

Introduction

In more ways than one, the conceptualized constructs demarcating the means by which money exchange takes place within the contemporary world economy are profuse than they might actually appear. The ideology of a contemporary capitalism culture can be split two ways; the thinking of a financializer versus that of a technologist. This paper will take on a triangulation approach at trying to deconstruct the ideals of contemporary capitalism. By cross-referencing different theorizations, the two loudly acclaimed arrangements of abstraction – financialization and technological abstraction – shall be extrapolated and used to establish the actual stand concerning the doctrine of capitalism today.

The topic is about how brains are different from computers. Computers are normally recognized as “electronic brains,” and newspaper articles as well as science fiction, talk of “intelligent machines” that take over from humans. These statements are misleading. I will observe the differences between brains and computers by examining the difference according to various researchers. For now, brains are said to different from computers –but there is a chance for us to learn from studies that examine the way that brains process information, this will be observed in the study. Computers do not have the ability to think the ...

Child abuse does not just mean broken bones or bruises, it impacts the safety, physical, social, mental, emotional and educational needs of the children. Child abuse and neglect as defined by the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) of 2010, ...

Introduction

The performance on a given task is affected by various factors. Distraction is one of the factors that has been hypothesized to affect task completion. Goodell, Cao and Schwaitzberg (2006) reported that cognitive distractions resulted in an increase in the time required to complete tasks by laparoscopic surgeons. Understanding the effect that distractions have on task performance is important various fields. In the academic field, the knowledge can be used to explain the performance of students during tests. It can help show what proportion of their performance is attributed to attention deficits resulting from distractions.

It has never been a secret for people that physical activity stimulates the brain and provokes its development. Living in the modern world, it is hard to imagine our life without TV-shows, serials, computer games or Internet. It has become very complicated for us to devote our free time to something helpful, useful and effective. When talking about brain development and physical activity it is necessary to mention that scientists have devoted decades to the research of the fact that when we do sports, we stimulate our brain and improve our cognitive skills. It has been proved that exercising ...

Perception and Consumer Behavior

Perception is the process of knowing features of stimuli with the use of vision, hearing, taste, smell and touch (Scott, 1994). The visual perception i.e. size/shape in the L’Oreal Men Expert Vita Lift 5 ad is rectangle with the focus on more than one dimension to enable consumers to downsize their order by enlarging the product along all dimensions. On the other hand, the shape of the Aveeno Absolutely Ageless ad is portrait. The size of the ad is adjusted through focus on multiple dimensions to perceive the product easily. Lettering is another factor affects the perception of ...

King’s College London (2016) published a study that argued that Multiple Personality Disorder or more popularly known as Disassociate Personality Disorder is rooted from traumatic experiences. These experiences include child abuse and neglect. This notion is in contrast with the earlier belief that the disorder is linked to suggestibility or proneness to fantasy (King’s College London, 2016). The report n the controversial disorder came recently as experts attempt to give explanation to complex mental disorder (Harper, 2011). Currently, there are two existing motions about what is the cause of the disorder- non-trauma related view and the recent ...

ADHD is a behavioral disorder that exhibits a severe long-term effect on victims. The condition poses, even more, grave consequences on the health of females than males. Therefore, given that it can progress unnoticed during childhood, there is the need to conduct a thorough assessment to enable accurate diagnosis. Diagnosis is usually made using the Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fourth Edition-Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) criteria. An in-depth exploration of all the possible treatment recommendations begins after the diagnosis. In the treatment of DHD detected in the patient in the case study, various approaches can be considered. Usually, the treatment of ...

Before the invention of modern medicinal practice, my grandparents and great grandparents used traditional herbs whenever they were suffering from various forms of sickness. Particularly, my mother explained to me about a few medicinal herbs that were mostly used in my culture, and are still used to date. For instance, I learned about the use of ginger tea and sage herbs in healing. Ginger herbs are used to reduce nausea and soothe a sore throat (The Organic Prepper, 2016). However, my interest was mostly based on sage herbs, sage tea, and sage leaves. After conducting intensive research, I noticed ...

Introduction

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is among the most common mental disorders developing at rather early stages of the individual’s life and entailing a wide range of implications for physical and mental health, social interaction, behavior and further life. As findings of some epidemiological studies demonstrate, this disorder is characterized by rather significant prevalence among children of school age – from 3 to 5% (Dryer et al. 79). The effect of ADHD might create numerous difficulties for children in various environmental contexts, from classroom to home setting. However, disruptive nature of this health condition is even more outstanding as ADHD ...

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.”( ...

Learning and performance improvement is a complex phenomenon that is not easy to explain how a person can enhance his/her performance by just learning or going through training. This complexity is evident in a classroom where students who are exposed to the same environment get different grades. As such, different studies have tried to depict how a brain work and factors that influence learning as explained below. The brain of a person can be compared to the muscles. The more the muscles are used, the more they get stronger (Blackwell, n.d.). This can be done by way of lifting ...

Introduction

Proper presentation of data collected during a study is imperative to the credibility of a research. In fact, lack thereof compromises the interpretation embraced by the people relying on such information due to the possibilities of miscommunication in the presentation process. As such, researchers ought to follow a compelling approach whilst communicating the results of their study regardless of the research design followed. With this in mind, it is worth acknowledging the fact that there are multiple research approaches followed in the delivery of psychological research information. According to the Emergency Medicine Journal, the popular research designs include observational ...

Demonstration and Return Demonstration Module

Instructional strategies These are devices teachers adopt when making decisions on how to present a topic to the class. For example, in the module pertaining to demonstration and return demonstration when teacher a social studies lesson regarding values education such as respect for parents, teachers and elders a useful strategy would be using a discussion session asking students how they perceive parents in the home. Building upon this values education through an open discussion session, the instructor can allow students to write down what they have understood about in the group on pieces of paper (Ford, 2013). When this ...

According to Policastro and McTague (2015), the paramount goal of a balanced literacy strategy is "to teach reading not as a skill ...

The Main Features of Introverts' behavior in the social environment

As is known, introversion is one of the most common categories or indicators to measure personality traits. Introverts are people whose personality traits are very different from those of other people, who can also be called extroverts. Introverts tend to accumulate their energy and direct it to their inner world, while extroverts waste their energy on the interaction with the outside world. If an extrovert needs a constant dialogue with the people, an introvert can successfully do without it. An introvert is capable of minimal contact, which is also necessary, but it happens rarely and only in the companies ...

Preamble

Autism Speaks (2012) argues that autism spectrum disorders are not the causes of the challenging behaviors that are witnessed in children diagnosed with the disorders. Instead, the biological processes that cause the disorders also cause the challenging behaviors. Whether there are divergent perspectives can be determined by reviewing literature on the subject. The following is an annotated bibliography with the sources that offer insight on why individuals with autism spectrum disorder engage in challenging behavior. Connie, A. (2011).

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 ...

Psychology is a discipline devoted to comprehending human being behavior. It seeks to enhance life satisfaction and quality by outlining actions or adaptive behaviors that can either promote or deteriorate a person’s well-being. Psychologists have instituted both personality and psychological theories that attempt to develop an understanding of drug onset. According to Association of Mental Health Clergy (AMHC), personality traits have been examined in relation to drug abuse to explore their significance as risk factors. The modes of thinking or personality characteristics influence the proclivity of a person developing a substance use problem. This essay examines the personality ...

Neurodegenerative Disorder

Introduction Neurodegenerative disorders refer to debilitating health care complications that occur because of slow degeneration of nerves cells. Neurodegeneration process is the progressive deterioration of structure and functionality of neurons in human body systems (Kovacs, 2016, 189). Ideally, neurodegenerative disorders represent the long-standing challenges in the field of basic science and clinical medicine. This is because of the persistence showed by the illnesses despite the unending attempts to adopt solutions to mitigate their health effects and severity on patients. The diseases affect the neurons in the human brain. As a result, it causes instabilities in the brain and spinal ...

What behaviors would indicate that the client is sustaining at a healthy baseline? It is important to establish the baseline of health for patients to help understand their status at the beginning of the treatment plan (Freedland et al., 2015). In the case of Eliza, a healthy baseline would be determined by psychological stability. It would mean that she’s not suffering the mental issues that have engulfed her over a period. The absence of situational anxiety would signal a healthy baseline. Having experienced such kinds of stress, any situation that guarantees mental stability and standard behavioral manifests would ...

Over time, a tremendous change has characterized cognitive science across its theoretical and applicative platforms. Research has been conducted to establish the cognitive perspective outlining the relationship between cognitive models and a teacher’s instructional approach (Xiong, Li, & Qu, 2015). Beliefs, goals, and knowledge influence the teachers’ cognitive modeling roles in the classroom by determining essential learning activities and decision-making processes. Cognitive modeling learning activities give room for students to express their internal thoughts on their instructional activities and cognitive ideas in a well-structured market (Xiong et al., 2015). Cognitive models are founded on basic principles of cognition. A ...

Media has a strong influence over individuals. People’s attitudes and behaviors are changing by every passing day. They intend to use the media that improves their mood. The media selection is up to them. Their selection will change their negative mood to positive. Mood management is dependent on the mental and physical health of the population. It applies differently to every individual either young or adult. Disorders like depression are troublesome. Depression has a significant impact on the individual’s behavior and also results in extended sad feelings . Different age groups have a diversified impact on mood due ...

In Soviet Deception in the Cuban Missile Crisis, James Hansen argues that Moscow’s central tenet has always been “to prevent an adversary from discovering Russian intentions by deceiving him about the nature, scope, and timing of an operation,” conceding the idea that there exists a pattern of covert political or militaristic tactics at work in the world. The clandestine affairs nature of world affairs, politics, and strategic military moves between superpowers has always raised curiosity of how individuals act, plan, and engage behaviors that intertwine uncertain outcomes. In the case of the Cuban Missile Crisis, according to the ...

Question 1: Statistical strategy

The strategy here is to analyze the distribution or variation of the data instead of focusing on the measures of central tendency. Measures of central tendency can be misleading especially where the distribution is asymmetrical (Graham 38-80). In this case, the median life expectancy of eight months does not necessarily mean a cancer patient dies within eight months.

Question 2: Shape of the distribution

The available literature shows that cancer patients have a median mortality of eight months. The distribution of the life expectancy of cancer patients is not normally distributed. The data is positively skewed. Half of the cancer patients live more than eight ...

I have selected the evolutionary psychology perspective to explain human behavior, including my own behavior. Most of our behavior develop when we encounter certain situations that affect survival. These adaptation mechanisms evolve through natural selection. Only people who exhibit the behavioral patterns that enable survival are selected to the subsequent generations, and with them, their psychological mechanism is also selected. According to the evolutionary psychology theory, the brain can be compared to a computer that receives information from the internal and external environment and generates an output behavior that enables survival in the environment. The cognitive programming of the ...
