<Institution> Fear has been a normal part of human existence. However, when fear is so strong, it can cripple people’s lives. This is what happens to those who have somatic symptom disorder or SSD. Previously, there are distinct somatic disorders, such as the somatization disorder, undifferentiated somatoform disorder, hypochondriasis, and somatoform pain disorder; however, because all of these have common characteristics, they are now classified into one, which is called somatic symptom disorder (Dimsdale, 2013). This condition is described as having “multiple persistent physical complaints that are associated with excessive and maladaptive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors related ...

Cephalexin and Gentamicin The mechanism of action of amoxicillin is focused on the prevention of the synthesis of the bacteria’s cell wall through the binding and inhibiting of the cell wall transpeptidases (Katzung, Masters, and Trevor, 2012). Specifically, it attaches to the penicillin-binding protein 1A found in the cell wall of bacteria. Then, the agent disintegrates the lactam ring to allow the acylation of the penicillin-sensitive transpeptidase C-terminal domain. The formation of the cross-link of the linear peptidoglycan strands is prevented by the inactivation of transpeptidases. Since the third and last stage ...

Manganese

What function does it perform, in critical metabolic events in human biology? Manganese acts as a co-factor to nearly all classes of enzymes such as hydrolases (phosphohydrolase), transferases (phosphotransferase), ligases, lyases, oxido-reductases, kinases and decarboxylase. It also helps in the synthesis of mucopolysaccharides, proteoglycans and glycoproteins. It can also mediate reactions as a metalloenzyme (Medeiros & Wildman, 2015; Gropper & Smith, 2013). While manganese can be replaced by magnesium in some of the catalytic reactions, two reactions in the synthesis of connective tissue pathway, namely, the activation of xylosyl transferase and glycosyl transferase or galactosyl transferase, are specifically manganese–dependent. These ...

Introduction

Recruitment and selection is a difficult process, as it involves various elements to judge the right candidate for the organization. However, today, there are several ways of judging the candidate for a given organization. There are written tests, group discussions, providing tasks, making them solve problems in groups, and finally, conducting personal interviews. The Human Resource Management tries to evaluate the competencies and skills of an individual from several perspectives (Strasak et al., 2007). We would like to judge the candidates on the basis of their behaviors, attitudes, knowledge, and skill-set demonstrated in the group discussions and personal interviews.

During the ...

Training Needs Analysis

Introduction Today, any given organization is required to prepare the training plan on the basis of the training needs of the organization. The organization is required to prepare the employees for the future so that they can overcome the challenges of the future and accordingly achieve the objectives of the organization. The Human Resource (HR) Department of the organization is thereby, responsible for preparing the training plan for the employees of the organization (David, 2011). They need to assess the technical and managerial needs of the training and accordingly design the plan so that the learning outcomes and ...

Of principal concern is the prevention and control of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) by medical practitioners in intensive care units (ICUs). VAP is one of the most frequently reported infections acquired by patients under mechanical ventilation healthcare. Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) persists to be a frequent and potentially deadly complication of ventilator care (Chulay, 2005), often occurring within environments characteristic of the intensive care unit (ICU) that are high-tech and high touch. Patients who are ventilated and intubated present the unique challenge for critical care registered nurses (RNs) to incorporate evidence-informed practices concerning the delivery of high-quality care (Crunden, 2005). Ventilator-Associated ...

In the novel Cannery Row and the play Glengarry Glen Ross, authors John Steinbeck and David Mamet present characters whose approach to existence appears quite dissimilar on the surface. Mack and the boys from Cannery Row place little value on extravagant material possessions. They possess no ambition other than to have very basic shelter and food; they do not compete with each other or town residents to accumulate goods or social status. The real estate salespeople in Glengarry Glen Ross, on the other hand, thrive on workplace competition to acquire possessions that will signify their success. If one accepts ...
