Diabetes mellitus is the group of serious diseases that lead to fatal cases without the proper treatment. One of the suggested by the World Health Organization, the International Expert Committee, and the American Diabetes Association ways of diagnostics of diabetes is the measure of the glycated hemoglobin level (HbA1c); HbA1c more than 6,5% (48 mmol/mol) diagnoses diabetes, and HbA1c between 5,7% and 6,4% diagnoses prediabetes (Incani et al., 2015, p. 44). However, this method needs to be improved and additional factors need to be studied, as the level of HbA1c shows poor agreement with fasting plasma ...

In an article entitled, “One-Percent Jokes and Plutocrats in Drag: What I Saw When I Crashed a Wall Street Secret Society,” Kevin Roose reports on his experience of infiltrating a party for members of Kappa Beta Phi, “a secret Wall Street fraternity” (Roose, 2014). In writing a book about young Wall Street executives, the author was curious as to the behavior of older, successful Wall Street executives. When he learned of the exclusive fraternity for Wall Street executives, Kappa Beta Phi, he thought that he'd like to visit one of its meetings as a part of his research. This ...

Youth Sport has been a controversial and well discussed topic over the past decade, but even with all the research on this subject, there is still progress to be made in understanding its role in the modern society. The concept of organized youth sports should only be focused on developing kids overall health and social skills, while children who show interest in a particular sport and have notable athletic and competitive skills should be trained separately.

Influence of Black Greek Sorority: Recruiting and Retaining African American Women Leaders in Higher Education

20 pages 20 references

Introduction

A demographic shift is happening that can potentially be an opportunity for African American females to step into leadership positions in community colleges. In 2007 60 percent of the presidents were 61 or older meaning that they are ready for retirement (Weisman and Vaughn 2007). The ageing of the baby boom generation means that the anticipated level of retirement for community college presidents as a whole was 15 percent for 2015 (Shults, 2001).Forty nine community college presidents retired in 2011 (AACC, 2012). The large turnover due to retirements is an opportunity to fill executive ...

Net neutrality is a design paradigm that has been used in the United States to protect the internet users. It argues that the network providers should be detached entirely from the information they are sending to their clients. Therefore, at no point should a given web information be given priority over the other. The policy implies that information networks are more important and useful to their users when it gives no focus on one issue over the other. In addition, the neutral network can be designed without prodding into any legality. The Internet is an interconnection of computers, allowing ...

INTRODUCTION

The Common Core State Standards Initiative (also known by its other name, the “Common Core”) is a comprehensive list of things that students should know in language arts and mathematics only—the Common Core does not deal with science, languages, physical education, and so on (Mathis, 2010). The “Common Core” is the curriculum that an educational assembly in the United States has decided is appropriate for students of each grade level across the United States (Bomer & Maloch, 2011). The Common Core has been incredibly controversial since its inception, but has been introduced in a number of states in grades K-12. The ...

A 2013 study by Al Jahdali et al. (2013) explored the screening utility of a novel laboratory test for Tuberculosis. The Interferon-Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) is antigen-specific for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and has some advantages over the traditionally-used Tuberculin Skin Test (TST). Some of these advantages include less tendency to report false positives due to anergy, as well as less cross-reactivity with the Bacille-Camille-Guerin (BCG) immunization and infection by other species of Mycobacterium (Al Jahdali et al., 2013). In this study, the researchers screened a total of 200 dyalisis patients using both tests: the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) and the Interferon-Gamma ...

In early years, children learn through experience. Education in these years is based on games and role playing, such as playing kitchen or shopping are great examples. It allows children to explore and interact with their environment. Games as such, introduce children to real life social and human settings, and they prove to be very efficient. As years pass by, subjects such as chemistry and biology are meant to achieve the same objective (Dewey, 1998). While early school education preserves the social and human aspects, traditional scholastic education, departs from them into a more objective intellectual type (Dewey, 1998). ...
