Introduction

Exom sequencing is also known as whole exom sequencing (WES). This sequencing technique is used to sequence all the expressed genes in a genome also called as exom. It is one of the most widely used targeted sequencing methods. The exom which is the protein coding region of the human genome consists of less than 2% of the genetic code. This region is responsible for containing more than 85% of known disease-related variants. Thus, whole exom sequencing is a cost-effective alternative to whole genome sequencing (WGS). This technique is efficient in identifying coding variants across a wide range of ...

One of the significant problems that the group faces includes lack of political access and limitation of minority rights. The issue is related to the political representation of the Asian Americans as well as the minimal rights they face as minorities within the United States of America (Lin and Scherz 13). For instance, there are no policies that exist to protect the interest of ...

“Los Vendidos” written by Luiz Valdes is a one-act play that depicts and ridicules the stereotypes of Mexicans in California. It is a satiric play that shows the social inequality in the American society in the 1960-ies. So much has been said about the discrimination of the Afro-Americans, but I even could not imagine Latinos and Mexicans facing a similar situation. This play attracts attention to the social issues that have not been solved even after 40 years. Although it is full of ridiculous and rather witty moments, the message of the play is serious and profound. The author ...

Introduction5 Literature Review..6 Conclusion....11 References..12 Abstract Negative (opposing or intimidating) events arouse robust and speedy physiological, rational, emotive, and social reactions. This organization of the organism is accompanied by physical, cognitive, and interactive results that diminish, lessen, and even wipe out the influence of that incident. This array of mobilization-minimization seems to be bigger for undesirable events than for unbiased or positive happenings. Hypothetical explanations of this response form are reviewed in this paper. Further, it will give a verdict on whether negative bias has been helpful or harmful to the process of human evolution. It is established that ...

Introduction

The film, “If these Walls Could Talk,” is a compilation of three generational segments of stories that exonerate the plight of women in the society against the general view of the dominant sex. This film was released in 1996, and it exclusively discusses the controversial issue of abortion, which seeps in three distinct generations. The three segments of the film entail different generations and decades, but the setup for the entire story transpires in the same house. The first story is a widow, whose husband was killed on the battlefield (Stuart, 2008). Demi Moore is the woman in the ...

In order for people to understand others, it is important for them to first understand and know themselves. How others treat and perceive us is often a reflection of how we treat and see ourselves. Each person in this world has their own unique sense of self, because it is through people’s experiences that they begin to discover and establish their own perception of themselves. At first, the concepts of “I” and “Me” may seem similar, but George Herbert Mead’s discussion has shed light on how these two concepts differ in the context of the society. The ...

On Society and Gender Inequality in John vs. Jennifer

Central to the foundations of the governing principles that the Founding Fathers channeled while forming the Union was the desire for freedom and equality as the goals for the new government. Apparently, as opposed to the monarchical rule that the English Empire imposed on its American colonists, the latter supported democracy as the ideal form of governance for the masses. Case in point the peoples’ endorsement of the American Constitution that guaranteed a “[balance] of power” within the government and equality through “the nation’s size and diversity” (Foner 11). However, as evidenced by Congress’s agreement to maintain ...

Certainly, it is noticeable that the perception of the public towards media, some journalists’ attitude towards work, and media itself has drastically changed. This did not happen when Donald Trump officially became the President of the United States – it all started from the time he decided to run in opposition to Hillary Clinton, who was thought to have more popularity rate than Trump. Since then, the president-elect became very antagonistic to American journalism to a point of deciding to strengthen libel laws. Four journalists have different opinions regarding media in the age of Trump. Cooper pushes for togetherness despite ...

Introduction

The book The Lucifer Effect by Philip Zimbardo argues that beneath any man lies some degree of evil, so detrimental if exposed under duress. The Lucifer Effect explains how good men can transform when exposed to stressful environments to commit heinous activities beyond imaginable moral magnitudes. In this regard, the author empirically explains the findings of the Stanford Prison Experiment (SPE) the processes involved in transforming good men into committing evil and heinous activities under duress and powerful situational forces. A comparison between the SPE findings and those of the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq have strong correlations in ...

“If it has ‘science’ in its name, it ain’t (Minnick).” Those words were said to this writer by the smartest person he ever knew personally, a man with PhDs in Mathematics and Physics, a true scientist. He went on to explain that science, if it is science, can be reduced to mathematics and then can predict. “Science can generate electricity or flatten cities,” he said. The problem, of course, is that whenever one deals with the “soft sciences,” political science or economics (the dismal science) or sociology or history or any of the disciplines that are housed in ...

Introduction

During diagnostic reasoning, a clinician attempts to collect, process while also interpreting information obtained from the patient so as to generate an action plan for treatment. However, it is critical that in this process, a clinician may commit some errors that can result in a wrong diagnosis and treatment of the patient. The following section discusses three of these mistakes.

The Illusory Casualty

It is the kind of error that occurs when a clinician tends to develop a bias in finding a causal relationship even in a situation when there is none. It is a powerful bias and occurs when both the ...

1. How would you describe your own leadership style in relation to task and relationship orientation? What are your strengths and weaknesses? My leadership style is highly task-oriented. The strengths of my task-focused leadership style include rapidity of action and solution-taking, unity of single-mindedness and severe monitoring over the performance of employees. Provided that the subordinates are motivated by the needs of a higher level, the weaknesses concern the fact that the use of this management style cannot give the opportunity to head to stimulate personal interest of performers in a specific job (Lawler III and Boudreau 127). 2. ...

The political elements of Star Trek show that the series had more insight than what is apparent. The show started in the 1960s when the Cold War was at its height. Many authorities argue that Star Trek is an exploration based on self-interest, colonialism, collectivism and control . However, George Gonzalez takes a different approach in The Politics of Star Trek where he undertakes a critical review of the story within the context of the actual implications of the actions of the characters. This paper will review the first two chapters of the book in order to present the critical ...

The hierarchy of evidence presents an important means of working towards the explicit, conscientious, and judicious appraisal and utility of current evidence when making important decisions when delivering care. Nurses must understand the best way of appraising information and learn to utilize what is best to assure them of essential demands of the community (Atkins, et al., 2004). Patients require such attention, and nurses need to understand the levels used which are case report, empirical, randomized control trials, systematic literature review, and meta-analysis. Describing each will offer an understanding of the intended evidence demands. Empirical studies are characterized by ...

INTRODUCTION

Everyone remembers stories beginning with “once upon a time” and ending in “happily ever after.” Some people see fairytales as antiquated ideologies that are not beneficial in the modern era. Others believe that they are harmless tales intended to spark children’s imagination. Fairytales can establish ideologies about good and evil and right and wrong. They are, also, filled with pointed gender role ideals and gender stereotypes that are, today, ethically questionable. In the last few decades, there has been a literary movement of taking classic fairytales and attempting to update them and eliminate many stereotypes. This leads to ...

In Soviet Deception in the Cuban Missile Crisis, James Hansen argues that Moscow’s central tenet has always been “to prevent an adversary from discovering Russian intentions by deceiving him about the nature, scope, and timing of an operation,” conceding the idea that there exists a pattern of covert political or militaristic tactics at work in the world. The clandestine affairs nature of world affairs, politics, and strategic military moves between superpowers has always raised curiosity of how individuals act, plan, and engage behaviors that intertwine uncertain outcomes. In the case of the Cuban Missile Crisis, according to the ...

Using the measurements made in the procedure, calculate the quiescent current IE, and the internal emitter resistance re. The quiescent current IE and internal emitter resistance re can be calculated using the DC analysis carried out in Step#1 and Step#2 of the procedure. The DC voltage measured across RE is used to measure the biasing current across the emitter of BJT. The voltage is measured to be 793mV. Since RE = 1KΩ, so: IE=VERE=0.7931000=0.000793A=0.793mA.

Now, we can calculate the internal resistance of emitter using the formula provided in the procedure. So:

re=0.026IE=0.0260.000793=32.786Ω

Using the values obtained in the experiment; draw the small-signal ac equivalent circuit for the amplifier.

In this part, we will draw the small scale ...

Background of the Study

The problem of HIV and AIDS has become a global one in the short time since the identification of the virus. Although there is no vaccine to protect against the virus, knowledge and education are two powerful shields against infection—and it has become clear in recent years that impoverished women in the developing world are particularly heavily impacted by HIV transmission and development of AIDS (UNAIDS, 2016). The goal of finding a way to slow or completely halt the spread of HIV and the development of AIDS has been an epidemiological conundrum for many years. Promoting health and ...

The diagnostic reasoning for clinical diagnoses involves the collection of data and application of systematic approaches to formulating hypotheses and create lists of different diagnoses. However, sometimes the clinician can make errors that that have a direct impact on the way they handle a patient leading to incorrect diagnoses, treatments and overall management plan. Most medical errors are identified as systemic and are usually solved using various interventions as checklists. However, there are other errors that occur during diagnosis and treatment, and these are attributed to flawed diagnostic reasoning (Wellbery, 2011). Diagnostic reasoning errors are mostly caused by heuristics ...

When the staff in an organization have objectives, they tend to be encouraged to work hard. When they get feedback regarding their progress, they become more motivated. Any ventures achievement is influenced by the presentation of the personnel. To estimate the performance of each member of staff and offer an opinion, it may be essential to develop a job assessment structure (André, 2008). A sporadic appraisal allows the employee recognize that which he/ she is doing well, and the areas that require improvement, and positively contribute to the accomplishment of strategic goals. Despite the fact that performance appraisals are ...

However, it important to incorporate a motivating corporate culture that ensures job satisfaction for employees. As such, it herein determined what motivational flaws are existent in the company and how they can be corrected. Notably, when employees were ...

Women have experienced harm since the beginning of humankind. The French feminist movement began in the late 1790s and one of its key arguments has always been that language has been used to prejudice women as long as orality has been used. The language of the late 20th and early 21st century has become the language of the press, and more relevantly the language of online sources. These online sources are able to reach to the far edges of the world and few cultures are safe from these opinions, words and languages the promote prejudice against women. This paper ...

Poverty is defined as lack of access to the resources necessary for survival due to low level of income earnings in a household. The different countries have different thresholds for defining the poverty. UNDP accepts people who earn less than 1 dollar a day as the poverty threshold and the Millennium Goals of the United Nations aim at reducing the number of people earning less than 1 dollar a day (UNDP, 2017). Recently, sustainable economic development is discussed among the academicians and the professionals. Fast economic growth has been the main aim of many emerging economies in the last ...

The most important thing in carrying out research is to avoid confusing the concept of research vigor with concepts like the quantification, measurement precision and generalizability. The researcher must be cautious before making claims that data collection and data analysis techniques are rigorous than other methods or techniques (Noble, & Smith 34). Therefore, rigorous or the trustworthy in any research implies the need to use appropriate tools that meet the goals and objectives of investigation done. For the investigator to determine whether there was rigorous in data collection, he or she will ask some questions on data collection procedures or ...

The first step of research is to formulate an accurate and precise research question which could have come from previous studies, or of a particular need or interest, and even for policy making. When formulating the research question, it is important to define the terms in which this research will be done. The main assumption that is found in the drug industry is that conclusions from published research found in prestigious journals are considered valid merely because they have been already scrutinized and published. It is an assumption that comes from accepting things as valid simply because we are ...

This response addresses a personal past shared meaning experience and my learning outcomes from the event. I grew up with a best friend who was “of colour.” I did not see her as being different because my parents taught me from before I can remember that “people are all the same.” I believed just because our skin, hair and eyes were different, it did not matter because for me that is what “the same” meant. Of course, that is until my friend went with our family to a family reunion. When meeting my best friend, I watched as “my ...

According to Yassmin Abdel-Magied, people face different unconscious biases quite frequently in their mundane routine (TED). However, some of them generate those biases, while others suffer from them. In this context, Ms. Abdel-Magied tells about two considerable biases, which other people apply to her. Those biases are connected to her race and gender. Firstly, she is a woman, which reduces her chances to get a good job. Secondly, she is a Muslim, which makes people mistrustful. When describing my perception of Yassmin Abdel-Magied, it is necessary to explain my initial idea. Before the women started talking, I decided she ...

The first step in the student’s guide to research is to determine the problem and define the question to answer. In other words, the first thing a researcher must do is to choose a current issue from which they can create a developed question that will lead to finding research which will help them answer their question. The problem with the drug industry, however, is that they have been known to let sources of bias affect their findings. For example, there have been companies who will bribe researchers so they will claim their drug is the best when ...

Introduction

Law enforcement has turned out to be extremely challenging in the contemporary changing social and cultural climate. It has continued to experience a range of challenges that are generated by the existing environment. The law enforcement practices, as well as policies, have received a lot of public scrutiny. Terrorism, large-scale population movements, globalization, and entrenched social problems have made the enforcement of the law, especially by the police, more challenging. The contemporary policing is primarily marked by the uncertainty and broadening of crime deterrence problems. Among the law enforcement officers, the police have been scrutinized heavily by the public. ...

The Safe Havens of Global Cities In his article, “The West’s Major Cities are a Bulwark Against the Tide of Right-Wing Nationalism,” Ishaan Tharoor writes about the celebration in London of the Battle of Cable Street, which was a protest that had various groups coming together to prevent a group of fascists from marching over eighty years ago (Tharoor). It was a time when there was a dangerous level of hatred and anger directed at the Jewish communities in Europe (Tharoor). Indeed, the events taking place at the time of those original Cable Street protests, occurred in ...

Many of us form biased opinions based on the behavior we see in people. We might judge the person wrongly assuming that his behavior is because of the circumstances that the individual faces (Gilbert, & Malone, 1995). People also believe that an individual’s unique attributes affect his behavior. Philosophers try to find the reason for a person’s behavior. In order for the researcher to have a strong argument as to why an individual acts the way he does, the researcher must form an appropriate theory which has enough evidence to support it (Fiske, 2004). The theory may explain ...

The Women’s Rights Movement arrived at its climax in 1970s and 1980s. However, there is still gender bias against women in the workplace. Discrimination is visible in many ways, including in the areas of wage equality, career progression, and leadership. Furthermore, such discrimination exists all over the world, though the capacity that such discrimination takes varies from country to country. While there has been undoubted progress in achieving gender equality over the decades, the task has not yet been completed. In her article, “The Glass Escalator: Hidden Advantages for Men in the “Female” Professions,” Christine Williams reports on ...

The Role of Advanced Practice Nursing

As much as advanced nursing practice has continued to develop over the years across the globe, there is a prejudice in regards to the qualification, education preparations, roles, and competencies that nurses gain to qualify them for independent practice. However, research has consistently shown that APNs give patient care that is better or equal to what physicians offer, and at a reduced cost (Jokiniemi, Haatainen & Pietila, 2015). In this regard, it is vital to encourage advanced nursing practice among all registered nurses so as to ensure they all utilize their full potential independently without physicians’ supervision. Certainly, this process ...

Coe, (2016) in her article looks how four children are risk taking and how they deal with risk at an early year’s program that is nature located in Canada Ontario. Her research work is pegged on the inherent drive and natural curiosity in children to explore their immediate surroundings. Furthermore, the scarcity of information on risk and nature based learning in Canada forms the basis of this study. However, the major undoing of the research work is that the small number of study participants in the conducted study together with the sampling methodology used predisposes the study to ...

Impact of Media of Crime

Impact of Media of Crime

Introduction

It is worth mentioning that the media is a vital resource that allows for the dissemination of information on safety and crime to the public. In this case, it is important that the news coverage provides accurate and unbiased facts about a crime that would be beneficial to crime control. However, research reveals that the media has contributed to poor diagnosis of crime related issues and more so, inappropriate and ineffective formulation of prevention strategies. The essay presents findings on the impact of the media of crime. Furthermore, it offers a discussion on the ...

Introduction

The relationship between human sexuality and perception on homosexuality is one of the most interesting topics in psychology. An understanding of the relationship between sexuality and perception towards homosexuals could greatly aid psychologists in making psychological interventions. At present, it has been proven by diverse studies that homosexuals are under different kinds of pressure, especially from the society. Divers studies have also shown that helping this group of people would require not just experts in psychology but also by the majority of the members if the society (Feng et al., 2012). Hence, it is important to understand how the ...

Introduction

The members of the LGBT community continue to suffer discrimination all over the world. Interestingly, the level of discrimination varies greatly from one nation to another. For example, Western Nations are more tolerant to homosexuality compared to Middle Eastern Nations, in general. Such variation in the level of discrimination suggests that there are governing factors that determine the perception of people towards homosexuality, making it an interesting topic in psychology. In order to fully understand how the perceptions of people towards homosexuality vary, it is important to set some variables and study them. There have been diverse studies performed ...

Throughout the history, there were created many films that involved the elements of sex and sexuality.

Question One

The National Military Strategy (NMS) outlines how the U.S. employs its military forces to advance and protect national interests. Security agencies must be in a position to rapidly adapt to emerging threats while also maintaining comparative advantage over the existing ones. In most instances, success depends on how the military instruments can support other instruments of power and facilitate other networks of partners and allies. On the other hand, the U.S. Joint Forces Command was a unified combatant command that provided particular services to the military. The Joint Forces’ mission that aligns with and supports the National Security Strategy ...

Perceptual bias occurs as a result of our brain taking shortcuts in the processing of information. According to Nahandi et al. (2015), “our mind will ignore information that does not fit our expectations or make assumptions based on perceptions rather than objective facts” (p. 154). Unfortunately, these types of biases take place every day in the workplace. It is important to recognize when we use these preferences so that we can guard ourselves against these shortcuts in the future. One of the more common perceptual misconceptions is the stereotype bias, which I was guilty of using recently. In my ...

Every period in the history of a country differs not only in a number and sequence of events happening, people playing critical roles in it, or culture which defines people’s attitudes and behaviors. They also differ in perception of things and events by people, hence the variety of meanings people associate with certain ideas. It is true that meaning of an idea changes with the flow of time depending on historical environment, on the complex of events which happen in the given period. Therefore, the idea of freedom has been changing through American history, and the goal of ...
