I. INTRODUCTION TO SUBCULTURES: CONSUMPTION OF IDENTITY
Subcultures are, at their core, a way for people to differentiate themselves from the culture that they are surrounded by. These subcultures can take a variety of different forms, from the relatively innocuous to the highly deviant-- however, one thing that they all share is the drive to differentiate themselves from the larger society to which they belong. Commonly, the majority culture has been considered to be the culture that accepts widely-held norms and beliefs and consumes the related products, while subcultures have been seen by sociologists and businesspeople alike as members

When palliative care was first introduced in healthcare, the focus of care delivery was exclusively on cancer patients and their families, but it eventually expanded to other types of terminal illness (Zimmermann et al., 2008). At the moment, the World Health Organization (WHO, 2014) defines palliative care as a multidisciplinary approach to healthcare for patients that are diagnosed with life-threatening conditions. A different definition describes palliative care as an intervention aiming to mitigate suffering instead of curing an illness (Becker, 2008). All definitions agree that the purpose of palliative care is to provide relief from pain, enhance the quality

Introduction

Allergy is an immune system disorder. Allergy or allergic reaction is a hypersensitivity to otherwise innocuous substances present in the environment. The allergic reaction is usually a rapid response; however, the sensitivity to certain allergens can be acquired over a period. It was previously called the type one hypersensitivity. It is characterized by an over activation of leucocytes, called the mast cells and the basophils following activation of immunoglobulin E (IgE) (Frigas, Gleich 1986). This activation of the basophiles and mast cells triggers an inflammatory response.

Pathophysiology of the allergic response

The type 1 hypersensitivity reaction is initiated when an allergen is introduced to

Use of Mass Drug Administration (MDA) to eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) in urban areas has not been successful due to challenges such as need for prior population registration, limited access to urban dwellers, acquisition of specific parental consent, inadequate programme support, low compliance due to insufficient information, non-uniform need for MDA across different socio-economic strata and inadequately motivated Community Drug Distributors (CDDs) who are few, (Njomo D. W. et al, 2014, p. 2)
Compliance could be improved by ensuring adequate information and education is availed to the targeted community through social mobilization. This is emphasized by Hodges et al. (

Introduction

Impact energy has been used to drill rock formations for many decades now. The various tools that have been used for this purpose include percussive drills, percussive hammers, down hole hammers, and so on. Percussive drilling dynamics has been possible using drifting oscillator models. This has been used to characterize the optimum conditions of the applied forces (both static and dynamic). And in this case, the sliders provide the contact force required during interactions. This force acts on the drill-bit, and the model accounts for contact geometrics in the crashing phases of the interactions.
A series of experiments were

According to Khamaiseh, & AlBashtawy (2013), oral health serves as a significant indicator of an individual’s overall well-being, and health. In fact, oral health has shown to have a close association with diabetes, whereby diabetic patients experience a wider array of oral health concerns such as taste disturbances, which are often precipitated by diabetes medications and treatment procedures such as haemodialysis (Lamster et al., 2008). On a similar note, diabetes being a chronic illness has a severe effect on an individual’s oral health, particularly during episodes of hospitalization of diabetic patients (Hanne et al., 2012). For this purpose,

According to Chandra et al., (2013) transits services provide the commuters with access to different places in the industry. This enables the commuters to engage in activities channeled to improve the economic development. A transit system is an example of a transport facility that can offer the public a platform to facilitate services. I feel it is important for the street network system to cater for new developments so as to enable ease of traffic. The government can consider adding new highway links to enable fast delivery of goods in case of the long distance travelers. The improvement of

Advantages of Utilizing a Research-Based Technique to Problem Resolution

Evidenced-based care or approach entails the integration of evidence from clinical expertise, research, as well as patient preferences in making decisions regarding the patients’ health care (Goldenberg, 2010). Evidence-based care ensures health care is efficient, effective, and satisfy the needs of patients. Evidence-based approach helps in determining what works and what does not, moreover, with whom as well as where it operates best.
Evidence-based approach root decisions from findings as well as proven techniques of investigation. Besides, makes a decision on earlier evidence and proceeds onto other procedures via innovations reliant on the experience. Consequently, this increases chances of

Aliens Films (1979-1997)

What is the significance of events in films? Are all the bits and pieces in films intentionally included by directors? These are some of the questions I asked myself as I set out on a comprehensive analysis of the audience message in the Aliens Films (1979-1997). According to film analyst Greg Smith, different events in films are not to be treated as accidental encounters of random occurrence and spontaneity. They are instead purposefully planned series of events with cause and effect and with nothing left to chance (Greg 128). Greg explains that Hollywood films are inadvertently one of the

Abstract

The mission of the United States police force on terrorism and threats from countries in the Middle East such as Afghanistan is to foster peaceful coexistence within states and other nations. Their involvement in the provision of humanitarian support to the civilians in Libya during the military crackdown in 2011for instance was contributed to by the foreign policies that arose after the Second World War (Beasley, 2013).

There are international incidences that have involved operation of the United States police force in the past five years include:

- Provision of humanitarian support to the Libyan civilians during a military crackdown in response to the uprising curfew in Gadhafi’s reign.

everal factors affect judgments that are related to the development of self-image. Such perceptions may include the Dentofacial attractiveness (Alvanos, 14). These factors may include social, physical and sometimes, psychological factors. In the current world, an individual’s social interaction is based on their physical attraction. As such, the physical attraction of an individual plays a great role in ensuring one comfortable life and associates well with their peers. The three dimensional facial characteristics in females greatly differ, depending on one’s aesthetics. As such, this calls for clinical evaluation of the facial and dental aesthetics (Becker et al.,

Introduction

Obesity is a health condition in which the Body Mass Index (MBI) is more than 30. Someone with a BMI of 25-29.99 is considered overweight because physicians recommend that people maintain a BMI of between 20 and 24.99 (Haerens, 7). BMI is a standard measure obtained by dividing the weight of a person in Kilograms (Kg) with the square of their height in Meters (M) {Kg /M2}. In 2009, 63.2% of US adults were either overweight or obese. In the same the year, 66.7% of all adults in the state of Texas were overweight (37.2%) or obese (29.5%) (Salinas

Introduction of the Research

Sign languages have two noticeably distinct types of morphological structure, one is sequential, and the other is simultaneous. Other than this there are two common sign languages being used, American and Israeli. Both of the languages fall in simultaneous morphology and are very similar, but when it comes to sequential morphology they differ, and are also derivational. 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

Literature review

Various research papers have been written in respect to integration of natural user interfaces for illiterate people. The most notable research done on illiterate mobile use is one by Chipcase (2009). Chipcase and Lalji on conducting ethnographic studies on illiterate’s mobile users in Asian countries reported that while illiterates could successfully turn on their calls and receive incoming calls, dialling numbers to make outgoing calls remained a fundamental challenge. This applies also to sending text messages or using the contacts books in the mobile devices. Lalji et al (2008:20-6 ) found that illiterates utilized call logs in lie of

Review and analysis

In the article, Harris et al. (1999) uses parallel group trial, randomised, controlled and double-blind designs with the intention of providing comprehensive and unswerving data. I find it rather unsatisfactory to use such designs in a small sample size of only 990 patients in a single hospital (Harris et al., 1999). The clarity, reliability and dependability of the data could have been improved by using the various designs in different hospitals or areas to increase the coverage and enable comparison. It would also have eliminated the financial constraint that seems to have adversely affected the final analysis of the

The move to grant driver’s licenses to the illegal immigrants was to ensure the safety of the state road and enable security officials to track residents who lived in the shadows. Although the move was regarded as a political strategy, the immigrants advocated the proposal. The congress signed a bill that allowed illegal immigrants to obtain a driver’s license. However, the plan received great criticism from democrats and republicans, as well as lawmakers who argued that it would provide an opening for terrorists. This also made Hillary Clinton, a presidential hopeful to disavow the proposal after waffling

Current research on bystander intervention has produced many outcomes indicating that the presence of other people in a critical situation, especially bullying, reduces the probability that an individual will help. Diffusion of responsibility contributes to the bystander effect. This implies that a person does not feel the need to help someone in need if several people are also present since the responsibility is among those present. Most people believe that there exist safety in numbers, but there are times when a large crowd does not support a victim. According to Barlińska, Szuzter & Winiewski (2013), “Bystanders are the social
