Article 1

The Harvard business Review, greatly discusses some of the ways in which business organizations many improve their business ethics. Further, the article discusses some of the reason why business organizations tend to act unethically. In the modern world, some of the obstacles that directly influence the ability to act ethically are such as cross- culture differences. Other obstacles are such as incentives as well as pressure to greatly inflate the organization’s target and achievements (McKee). While establishing rules and ethics training in business organizations may help in acting ethically. They however, do not particularly help when business organizations ...

The Challenge of Antibiotic Resistance: Has our use of Antibiotics Caused more Problems than it has solved?

Antibiotics are medicines which have bactericidal or bacteriostatic properties and used in treatment or prevention of microbial diseases (NPS 2012). Antibiotics a have been in existence for a long time and were initially known as antibiosis which meant against life, and by Jean Paul Vuillemin first used this term. He used the word to describe the properties which were exhibited by the early antibacterial drugs. In 1877 Antibiosis was first described by Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch when they observed the inhibition of growth of Bacillus anthracis by an airborne bacillus. In 1928 penicillin was identified by Alexander Fleming. ...

Increased erythropoietin production Increased heart rate Increased cardiac output Enhancement in oxygen extraction The answer for this question is b. increased heart rate. A reduction in tissue oxygenation as happens in anemia stimulates increased production of erythropoietin through a complex feedback mechanism. Increased production of erythropoietin enhances erythropoiesis in anemia. Increased extraction of oxygen in anemia is a compensatory mechanism that is mediated by an increase in 2, 3-diphosphoglycerate concentrations. Increased cardiac output is the main hemodynamic compensatory mechanism in anemia that aims to increase blood flow to the body organs. An increase in heart rate ...

Question #1

If the Board of Schmeckt Gut will convince the Government of Industria to make a free trade agreement with Atollia, there will be no tariffs. According to the regression equation, we have estimated in Module 4, the coefficient of tariffs is negative. Hence, if tariffs are applied, this leads to a decrease in the demand of our energy bars. Without tariffs, the demand will be increased. Since the demand will be increased, the supplier should increase the volume of production. This, in turn, leads to an increase in Schmeckt Gut’s labor demand, as it needs more employees to ...

Introduction

Nutritional needs changes throughout a person’s life that if not properly assessed may lead to malnutrition. Malnutrition is the state of the body lacking important nutrients or having excess or imbalance of energy. According to studies, 16% of people over 65 years and 2% of people over 85 years are malnourished. Studies also show that approximately two-thirds of people occupying hospital beds are above the age of 65 years (Ahmed & Haboubi, 2010). Malnutrition is associated with a number of health outcomes such as poor wound healing, slow recovery from surgery, higher hospital readmissions, and deaths. Malnutrition is high ...

Naso-duodenal tube feeding is recommended for hospitalized patients. This means that Sharyn does not need the assessment of the caretakers and the important home details. However, like any other patient, Sharyn needs to be psychologically prepared to the feeding method. Therefore, there will be need to establish an understanding between the hospital caregivers and Sharyn. This will include explaining to the patient everything concerning the procedure including the indication and contraindication. Hospitals will often provide the outlined procedure for the administration of the feeding method and this should be followed to the latter. According to the hospital procedure and ...

Experimental method

In the study of human behavior, experiments are usually piloted in the laboratories under conditions that are controlled. In this way, all aspects of the situation are supposed to be kept constant except the one that is being looked at (Bucknell 2011). In this case, the element to be varied is known as the independent variable (IV) that is changed in a manner that is very precise.

The experimental method has both its strengths and weaknesses just like any other research method.

Strengths • Laboratory experiments are usually easier to replicate and repeat to be sure of the reliability of the findings as the procedures used are standardized. • It gives opportunity to the research team ...

Introduction

Trillions of microbes constitute the “Metagenome” of the human gut. This is the organ called microbiome, which is highly essential, and offers the host benefits such as metabolic abilities, pathogen protection, immune system enhancement, and GI tract developmental modulations (De Fillipo, et al.). In their study, three questions regarding the evolution of the human microbiota have been raised. They are: (1) how does the partitioning of bacterial diversity between and within two populations studied? (2) Does there exist a correlation between the diet and bacterial diversity?; and (3) considering the varied geography and hygienic conditions, what is the bacterial ...

Metabolic Changes

Connections between microorganisms in a person’s gut and the onset of obesity among other metabolic conditions are getting clearer with advanced research work. However, owing to the complexity of the microbiome, the connections are just beginning to be appreciated. However, proportional research work involving mice suggests that there is an influence of gut microbiota on the metabolism of a host. Extensive gut microbiota modulation of host systemic metabolic pathways including SCFAs, tryptophan, and tyrosine metabolism has been shown by metabolomics studies. Metabolic regulation is one of the functions of the metabolites in the gut due to its nutrient-rich ...

Introduction

Recently, worldwide obesity prevalence has been raised rapidly and nearly doubled between 1980 and 2014, however in 2014 more than a half a billion of adult (18 years and older) were obese (11% men and 15% women) (WHO, 2014). Obesity and overweight are defined as excess body fat accumulation that leads to health risks and comorbidities. Adult weight can be classified based on the Body Mass Index. Hence, an individual having a BMI equal to or more than 25 is regarded as being overweight, while a person with a BMI equal to or more than 30 is considered obese ( ...

Dr. Spiegel`s interest and involvement in dealing with mass shooting started on February 23, 2012 when he received a strange letter from the unknown. This letter was written in a delusional manner and at the end of it there was a scream for help which said: “Your work may save my life, UPMC will not. Would you help?” (Spiegel, 2013) Although, because of his occupation Dr. Spiegel receives lots of strange letters and emails but this one caught his attention greatly. Without hesitation he wrote to UPMC about the author and content of letter. Something told Dr. Spiegel ...

The article “The microbial environment and its influence on asthma prevention in early life” by Erika von Mutius presents and develops the current perspective that contextual factors are key in the development, or inhibition, of this respiratory affection. A microbiome with great diversity leads to a better immune system maturation, counterbalancing the different occasions for the development of this condition. Having a rich mibrobiome may also lead to less allergy-related problems, as both of these respiratory diseases may be fought off against better when there is a diversity of microbes and pathogens in the air, leading to better skin, ...
