Razack, 1990 explains the various paradigms that determine each factor in the course of action. This review draws from a variety of major theoretical orientations that define the art of true activism.

Summary

The clash of civilizations is a treatise in which Samuel Huntington radically argues for a shift in the geopolitical landscape of the world. According to the author, the world societies are likely to differ not based on the ideal nation state. Rather, the ground of differentiation lies in the civilization orchestrated by the religious, ideological and idealistic forces that determine nation states. However, Huntington is cautious not to presuppose the death of nationalism. He outlines a reasonable ground for ideological clashes of civilizations. He insists that the western set of reasoning would always be in competition with Asian, African and other regional ...

The design and goals of management policies are primarily influenced by the fisheries and marine ecosystems health mental concepts. The Cognitive Maps: Cartography and Concepts for an Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Policy article, discusses how these mental concepts that are held by some individuals are fostered by the approach of Back to the Future (BTF) to the policy of fisheries (Tony & Nigel 1976). Such cognitive maps are normally obtained from local and traditional knowledge and the interplay of science. The approach of Back to the Future action employs all the sectors in remedial and positive and is meant to engage the ...

The aim will thus be to look for evidence concerning the above provisions in salt marshes.

The Neandertal type site revisited: Interdisciplinary investigations of skeletal remains from the Neander Valley, Germany

Neander Valley was an important limestone extraction site but in mid-1800s human bones were discovered during excavations. These bones were assigned to a human Neandertal 1 but the exact details of the extraction and the location remain obscure. Many years later in 1997 and 2000 excavations in this region were resumed and many new bone fragments were discovered. These bone fragments are typical as that of Neandertals and belong to at least three different individuals. AMS radiocarbon dating and mtDNA sequencing suggest that the bones are about 40,000 years old and establish the context of the humans they belong ...

Analytical methods to evaluate seed dormancy in legumes

Abstract
Legumes are known to have multiple health benefits. The seed coat in particular contains a number of bioactive compounds which possess antioxidant activity. Of great interest is the relationship between the chemical composition of the seed coat and its role in seed dormancy. Modern technological approaches are currently used to further identify these compounds and determine their role in seed development; these include NRIS FTIR, mass spectroscopy, electron microscopy and chromatography. The following review describes the constituents of the legume seed coat and their respective roles in dormancy and other stages of seed development. The review also highlights ...

Commentary:

- Consciousness is a much debated yet less known topic that has been debated by both science and philosophy. However most of our knowledge about consciousness stems from introspection and behaviour analysis. This paper helps us move away from the psychological intuitions of consciousness.
- Through well-designed examples, the author allows us to understand that we cannot be the judge of our own consciousness.
- We may think that we see the full picture but our consciousness consists of a small fraction of what is actually in front of us. This theory is well explained ...

Eukaryotic organisms’ cells are composed of different types of primary and processed RNAs. These RNAs are locally found in the nucleus, cytosol or throughout the cells. To understand the function of RNA as a type of protein, RNA profiling has been carried out leading to the birth of a genomic project known as “ENCODE or the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements”. The goal of the project is to identify and characterize functional elements that are present in the genes (Djebali et al.).
In the paper Landscape of Transcription in Human Cells the study tries to answer the general question: should the ...

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 ...

Reading mama Lola has made me understand that religion is all about observing certain religious believes rather than just being part of a religious sect. Every religion is directed towards a supreme being, yet the religious proceedings are dependent on where an individual was brought up. Many times, people condemn others for observing certain religious rituals, terming them evil, yet they do not understand the reason behind it. One unique feature about religion is that anyone who dedicates his or her life to it feels it is the right form of religious worship. Religion plays an important part in an individual’ ...

Question being investigated

This study was aimed at testing the hypothesis that there is no close-paralleling of the raised rate of metabolism arising from contraction of muscles by hyperpnea, and thus arterial 02, pH, and C02 do not remain comparatively constant all through most of the moderate exercise range (Carli, et al., 1967). The alternative hypothesis was that a feed-forward mechanism is responsible for hyperpnea.

Importance of the question/publication

There is still uncertainty on the mechanism resulting in raised ventilation or hyperpnea, in the course of an exercise in spite of over a century of research, hypothesis, as well as debate. Due to the close link ...

The book is purposely called ‘Art in China’ and not Chinese art since it is principally written out of a major distrust of the existence of unifying principles that bring together art from a particular country.

Gender is not genetically or biologically inherited and there is therefore no ‘natural’ division in gender relation between men who will always be dominant while women are confined to the domestic sphere.

As an institution, it is also related to other institutions such as the family, the economy and the state, as well as to race, region and social class. It is not a fixed and unchanging institution, however, just as masculinity and femininity are not monolithic, but one that has ...
