Abstract

In most parts of the Arab countries, the limited resources of water pose adverse constraints to both the social and economic development, while also threatening the people’s livelihood. The available surface water keeps on declining, and the ground water over-pumping that goes beyond the natural recharge rates has continued to cause great negative impact in the lowering of water table. Over-pumping of ground water also increases ground water salinity, ground water depletion, and ecological degradation (SCENR 5). The outcome prompted the Qatar government to start regulating its water resources as a measure ...

who have had an ischemic stroke

BACKGROUND

Prolonged lowering of a patient’s blood pressure after a stroke occurs has been observed to reduce the risk of recurrent stroke. Additionally, the inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system in with regard to high-risk patients has also managed to reduce the rate of subsequent cardio vascular events, which includes stroke related complications. However, the effect of lowering a patient’s blood pressure using a renin-angiotestin system inhibitor such as Telmisartan, soon after an ischemic stroke has occurred has not yet been clearly established.

Discussion and Comparison of Laparoscopic and Open Surgical Inguinal Hernia Repair in Adults.

Abstract
There is an ever increasing number of hernia repair surgeries required likely due to decreasing levels of physical activity amongst young adults and concurrent muscle wastage in the abdomen. Time off from work, staffing issues at hospitals, and cost of hospital bed space are some of the issues associated with the high cost of open surgical methods. Wound infection, decreased mobility, and recurrence of the hernia are problems associated with all surgeries. The last thirty years has seen the advent of laparoscopy and minimally invasive techniques of surgical repair. These methods offer the promises of decreased surgical ...

Isaac saw that Abraham’s left hand was clenched in despair,

that a shudder went through his whole body — but Abraham
drew the knife.

Then they returned home again, and Sarah hurried to meet

them, but Isaac had lost the faith. Not a word is ever said of

Scientists are concerned about the lack of student interest in studying science (Dillon & Manning, n.d.). Researchers have conducted various studies. They have determined that the influence of teachers, curriculum, and classroom environment has an impact on student interest. This literature review describes current research regarding this dilemma as well as some recommendations. According to authors Dillon and Manning, “science teachers are made, not born”. This is very important to consider as it speaks loudly about a teacher wanting to teach science. It is better for students to learn science from a teacher that wants to share their scientific knowledge (and any ...

Tokubei and Ohatsu’s story is inspirational in its portrayal of the extent lovers will go to for the accomplishment of their love. However, although inspirational in nature, their actions and motivations are illogical if viewed in a sense of self-preservation. One of the bigger themes, honesty, is expressed in the story through both characters. This honesty, although oftentimes a good virtue, has become their undoing. Love preceded reason in their motivation, leading to them having thought of no other options for salvation aside from death.

Historical Overview on the Development of Learning Theories

There are several theories that describe how a person learns. These theories stem from the fact that the learning ability of one person is unique from the other. Learning is a relatively permanent modification in behavior to include the observed activity and the internal processes involved such as thinking, attitudes and emotions. Some studies also include motivation as part of the definition of the learning process. The manifestations of learning cannot be noticed immediately in the observable behavior of an individual. However, the manifestation takes place after the educational program is introduced to the person (Dunn, 2002).
