Dehydroepiandrosterone, or DHEA, is a hormone the human body produces via the adrenal glands, which are above the kidneys.

Chinese entrepreneurship is known to be influenced by historically traditional and cultural characteristics.

Thus, an IDT's role is crucial in the formative years of an individual. In this particular instance alone, the IDT has leverage among ...

Question 1

The definition of religion is often different across different groups depending on the values and beliefs that they hold. Noticeably, most people define religion based on what history holds as true for them. Typically, the catholic Spain defines religion as a matter of doctrines, rituals, creeds and traditions. Seemingly, the catholic Spain seems to attest to the fact that religion is more of a way of life. However, this is not true according to the historical chronology of religious beliefs. Looking closely, history explains the evolution of religion through ages. Thus, religion is never a set of compact doctrines and traditions.

The nervous system evolves to motivate and reinforces an individual to subconsciously eat sweet foods and other foods that may trigger such addictive behavior similar to that of alcohol addiction. In this research, Avena and colleagues attempt to find whether or not sugar should be included in the ranks of heroin and cocaine that could also lead to a natural form of addiction. Avena and colleagues contend that food addiction may be a plausible explanation to explain how the brain pathways evolved in response to natural reinforcements that are activated in the same vein that pathways for narcotics are also activated. ...

When the concept of green building emerges, environmentalists and researchers automatically assume the solutions lie on materials and their constituencies in buildings they are part of and the lifetime of the building. Exterior material directly in contact with the environment and natural elements may enhance the sustainability of the building, but may greatly impact the functions of nearby ecosystems. Hence building sustainability and environmental maintenance are not exactly interchangeable, and yet these terms are often utilized mistakenly. The pioneers of environmental constructs are not confirmed, although architectural historians suggest they date back prior to Ancient Roman times. Architects took ...

Introduction

Gender disparity stands as among the most debilitating social issues every nation has experienced. As a problem deeply ingrained in societal and cultural ties, gender disparity provides key implications to international development policies, programmes and projects.

Therefore, this study seeks to address gender awareness in light of its implications to the concept of fulfilling international development agendas. Without the promotion of gender awareness, international development agendas would not fully emancipate. Through a ...

Since its emergence in the 1950s, the field of community development has emphasized resident participation in decision-making and leadership.

As such, the idea of a 'majority rule' is thought to be the defining component of the concept of a democracy1.
