Education Article Reviews Samples For Students

The "circadian timing system" has been linked to the wellness and improvement of survival rate in cancer patients. Recent research shows how the circadian timing system is affected by chemotherapy in mice. The study tries to answer the main question: what is the relationship between the disruption of circadian rhythm and adverse events in individual cancer patients? The study also aims to quantify the treatment-induced CTS changes and to characterize the rhythm recovery dynamics of cancer patients.
The study samples include 49 patients who are candidate for saving chemotherapy regimens and medical treatment of their cancer disease. Specifically, the Continue reading...

Summary of the Article

The article generally speaks of the reality of forgiveness and what it brings to other people in an individual and group basis. It begins with the realization that, according to studies, forgiveness interventions results in decreased anxiety, depression, and anger, and in increased self-esteem, hope, and positive affect (Magnuson & Enright, 2008). These factors show that forgiveness can provide beneficial impacts upon society at large.
The model for forgiveness intervention by Enright and Worthington were first implemented in educational institutions as a social scientific work. However, an emphasis was given on the fact that forgiveness first finds its shape in Continue reading...

- Identify the research method used in accumulating the data which served as the basis for this article. What were the strengths and weaknesses of the research method?
This article is based on both theoretical research and practical research. The research has used the meta-analysis research method which is an analytical technique which aims at analyzing results of multiple analyses. The meta-analysis design relies on heterogeneity and availability of information. Its limitations are the possibility of collection of homogeneous information which is hard to compare. The accuracy of the results to be compared is also a determining factor in Continue reading...

The Title of the Article

The title indicates that the article is about morale and role strain of undergraduate nursing students in a pediatric clinical setting. However, Chen fails to specify the aspect of morale and role strain that the article seeks to deal with in the title. For instance, the title would have been more specific if it were stated as follows: causes of morale and role strain of undergraduate nursing students in a pediatric clinical setting. In this case, a reader would be able to tell that the article deals with the causes of morale and role strain. It therefore follows that Continue reading...

It is important to study about language and verbal behavior because it helps understand other people in a better way. Language or verbal behavior is defined as an operant behavior, which is strengthened by other people’s mediation (Skinner, 1957). This can be well explained as a practical relationship existing between the behavior of a person speaking, as well as the conditions in their environment. However, in this relationship, an important question, on how reinforcement between the speaker and the other people occurs arises.
According to research, it is clear that children acquire a number of language skills mainly Continue reading...

Connective tissue growth factor induces collagen I expression in human lung fibroblasts through the Rac1/MLK3/JNK/AP-1 pathway

Many lung inflammatory diseases present pulmonary fibrosis as one of the symptoms, which is characterized by shortness of breath, chronic coughing and discomfort in the chest. It causes modifications of the lung tissues due to overgrowth, hardening and scarring. This occurs mainly due to deposition of collagen, an extracellular matrix (ECM) protein, whose turnover is regulated by fibroblast. Fibroblast is an important cell regulator that is enlisted by a site of injury. This process is driven by release of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), platelet-derived growth factor, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and IL-8/CXCL8.
Previously, fibroblast was thought to express no or very Continue reading...

There are different types of inflectional morphology that are discussed briefly in the paper. This research was also done to bring in the similarities between sign language and spoken languages all along; in 1970s and 1980s which are the starting days of Continue reading...
