Essays on Thumb

One of the best ways to know whether a certain food is high or low in a particular nutrient is to make the best use of Daily Value. Low does not necessary imply bad while high does not necessarily imply good. That is why it is important to know which nutrients are needed most and which nutrients are least needed in a particular serving. 5 and 20 Rule has been found to be the best rule of thumb (Abrams and Hawthorne, 2012). The terms “low” and “high” in the context of nutrients need to be well understood. The Daily ...

Action Plan using Maslow’s Theory The world has a myriad of cultures and people that share their own set of cultural values and belief systems. These values become their cultural norms and are preserved in their day to day actions and routine. If a person does not carry the firsthand knowledge of another person’s cultural beliefs and norms, then they are bound to follow hearsay and believe whatever stereotypes are associated with them. However looking at the factual display of matters, many cultures have certain rites and traditions which cannot be changed or tampered with. ...

It is unknown how long Staphylococcus Aureus (S. Aureus or staph) has been on this planet. We have been too busy trying to conquer all of successful attempts that it has made to evade our weapons against to establish an intricate epidemiologic profile of it. We do know when it was discovered to be a harmful bacteria, though. One of the primary toxins of staph, PVL, was first discovered by an assistant in Belgium by the name of H. van de Velde in 1894. He was taking care of some rabbits in a laboratory and noticed a ...

In colonial times, women had the right to vote in some areas and they even had the right to own a property as well. The country was quite agricultural in this period and both the men and women shared their responsibilities in the farm work, as well as in child care. Due to this, the birth rate was also high. It is said that, without the women’s bravery and hard work, the colonies would have failed. It is true that women did not have the same rights as they have today, but they are still considered as an ...

The researchers to ensure practical instructions for the accomplishment of a certain task use a rule of thumb. It is developed as a result of practice instead of research or theory.

Cheung Yan’s firm’s dominance did not really start from nothing. It emerged from his idea of turning waste paper into high quality packaging materials. She knew that most, if not all, businesses that have a sales component in it have to rely on a stable supply of packaging materials in order to release the orders of their customers and that those firms have to look for cheaper packaging material alternatives in order to promote business profitability and sustainability. She capitalized on that idea. It can then be argued that her strategic management strategy is one that is ...

Introduction

In the present paper, we present the findings received in two experiments conducted in class. Both experiments deal with reflexes. Before we proceed directly to the obtained data, it is necessary to give the general overview about the nature of reflexes. A reflex action is defined as an action involving an involuntary and spontaneous movement (Purves et al. 2004). However, the stimulus is needed to observe the movement. A stimulus can be expressed in several ways – most commonly it presupposes the use of some mechanical force on a particular part of the body.

Fredrick W. Taylor started the scientific management movement. Taylor’s perspective focused on the principle that maximizing work performance done is more efficient than imposing on people. Taylor’s four doctrines of management were one; use scientific methods instead of the rule of thumb to study the work. The second rule is to match workers to specific jobs based on the motivation and productivity rather than random assignment. The third rule is to watch the performance closely and offer supervision and instructions. The fourth doctrine as advanced by Taylor is to allocate jobs between workers and managers.

Soft tissue injuries of the handCarpal tunnel Syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome is an arm disorder that causes tingling, numbness and other indications. Carpal tunnel syndrome is associated with a pinched nerve in the wrist. Factors that can contribute to the carpal tunnel syndrome are; patterns of hand use, anatomy of one's wrist or certain health risk factors. Bound by tendons and bones, carpal tunnel is a thin pathway that is situated on the palm flank of the wrist. That passageway protects the main nerve from the hand and tendons that bend the limbs. The compression of the nerve is what produces ...

Abstract

All cells in a living organism require energy to drive various cellular activities such as transport of molecules and movement among others. The rate of cellular respiration may be affected by the substrate concentration, pH level and enzyme concentration among other factors. This experiment aimed to study the rate of cellular respiration in isolated mitochondria under different conditions. It was hypothesized that if the concentration of the substrate is increased then there will be an increase in the rate of cellular respiration. Mitochondrial suspension was used as the source of succinate that was used as the substrate. The level of ...

Introduction

Being able to identify how predation and competition influence natural selection is essential in understanding the evolutionary ecology of a population of species. In predation, substandard individuals are inherently selected. By substandard these are the young, sick and physically unfit individuals. As a result, preys also evolve into a more resilient ones putting pressure also to the predators. This scenario reflects a coevolution of both predators and preys. In this study, we will examine the predatory-prey relationship and understand the dynamics involved in relation to environmental changes.

Methodology

Four different kinds of prey and five different kinds of predator were considered in this study. ...

Technology has made communication much easier for training purposes. Because of distance learning possibilities, it is no longer necessary for companies to spend significant sums of money to send their personnel to a distant seminar or to pay a hefty fee for a speaker to come to their site. Instead, speakers can present their content online via a webcast or webinar. That way, not only can people view the content from anywhere on the planet, they can even view it at a time of their own choosing, if interactivity is not a necessity. While this is a real boon in a number of ways, particularly in terms ...

The history of human evolution has always been a heated topic for debate; many theories abound as to what factors led to the evolution of apes into man, using the concepts of trait adaptation, among others, to help explain why we became what we became. There are those who believe that the major contributing factor was the development of language, or the forming of groups with hierarchical structures. Others believe that the development of monogamy as a social concept is the most important factor leaving to the evolution of humanity. However, it is my concerted belief that the most important contributing ...

For obvious reasons, having a clear and effective understanding of knowledge transfer is a vital tool that should be possessed by all the individuals in any given organisation. Taking the case of the army, knowledge transfer is a critical issue that should never be underestimated. In the military, a soldier is supposed to know what to expect and how they ought to react to varied military situations, therefore, to the soldier, this knowledge is literally a matter of life-and-death. Similarly, the aspect of effective transfer of knowledge in a business organisation either dictates its success or fall. In this report, I will focus on the ...

I have seen many recorded wars, whether on the television or on the Internet and sometimes in movies. Before any war, soldiers should prepare for confrontation. Additionally, they are supposed to stick to the plan of the commander who command's them. Wars have a start and finish that is affected by a result of victory or defeat. Between the start and finish there is movement and an action. Since the movement and the challenge are present, there must be a result after the end. When I knew about the soldiers and what they do in the wars, I realized that I can ...

The Facts of the Case

The ethical issue in this case is predatory pricing, and the parties involved include both local and international retailers. Predatory pricing takes place in showrooms and online advertising media where retailers lower the prices of their products in order to attract and retain customers. This pricing occurs during advertisements as the retailers with monopolistic powers price their products at lowly as a strategy of driving the competitors out of the market. Predatory pricing creates barriers to entry for potential and new competitors since they cannot survive under extremely low prices without incurring losses. Most countries consider predatory pricing anti-competitive and ...

According to Houck, Crsipino, and McAdam, (2012), preserving the crime scene is aimed at reducing chances of tampering the digital evidence. The preservation of the crime scene forms part of the digital investigation process (Wiles and Reyes, 2011). All parties concerned with the crime will be required to be asked questions and the location of the crime scene will need to be identified prior to the preservation. Performing a live analysis will require the computer to be disconnected. This will ensure that data cannot be modified ...

Reflexology is an alternative healing method that people around the world use believing that with the application of pressure on specific points of the body will produces healing effects on certain organs. This form of therapy involves massaging the feet to restore the body's natural balance using thumb and hand techniques. Most of the time, focus of the massage is on the feet only although some reflexologists also apply gentle pressure on the ears and hands. It should never replace actual medication, treatment, or diagnosis of diseases and illnesses, but rather a complementary treatment method that can help relieve patients ...

Plan for Processing a Potential Crime Scene

Identifying the Potential Digital Evidence Processing a crime scene will involve following standard procedures used in assessing a digital crime scene. According to Wile and Reyes (2011), the process of identifying the potential digital evidence will require a series of investigations to be done. Thus, this will involve assessment of the case, asking the affected parties questions, locating the evidence and documenting the results with the goal of identifying where the crime was exactly committed. In this case, the first clue to potential evidence will be to assess the intrusion detection logs. Additionally, it is important to note that network intrusions ...

Cognitive Biases

We develop our own judgments and opinions based on our experiences, beliefs and preconceptions. At times, we produce good judgments, but more often than not, we produce inevitable incoherent judgments known as cognitive biases. Wikipedia (2012) defines cognitive bias as “the human tendency to make systematic decisions in certain circumstances based on cognitive factors rather than evidence”. Huer Jr. (2007) suggests that the fundamental limitations on our mental processes cause us to utilize different simplifying processes and “rules of thumb to ease the burden of mentally processing information to make judgments and decisions”. These processes and rules of thumb ...

The collection of short stories entitled Missing Women and Other Stories by June Spence was heralded as being a popular discussion of modern behaviours in men and women. In practice, the stories detail the measured and controlled approaches that individuals take towards life and stand starkly juxtaposed with the excess lifestyles of so many living in the modern world today. This idea of ‘excess’ is regularly presented throughout the book; a feminist would view this as being an attempt to control the female form. In short, the stories which address female protagonists who are attempting to control their urges are examinations ...

Once the thirst hub situated in the lateral hypothalamus informs the body of dehydration, it will react by stimulating drinking behavior. The brain sends sensory messages to appropriate muscles to lift the glass of water for drinking purposes. Impulses arise from the cerebral motor compound of the brain. The impulses then move via the corticospinal tract1, which traverses via the midbrain, the pons and the medulla until it departs from the skull via the occipital foramen and goes into the spinal cord. From the spinal cord, the impulse journeys through explicit nerves that branch outwardly on the spinal column ...
