Increased erythropoietin production Increased heart rate Increased cardiac output Enhancement in oxygen extraction The answer for this question is b. increased heart rate. A reduction in tissue oxygenation as happens in anemia stimulates increased production of erythropoietin through a complex feedback mechanism. Increased production of erythropoietin enhances erythropoiesis in anemia. Increased extraction of oxygen in anemia is a compensatory mechanism that is mediated by an increase in 2, 3-diphosphoglycerate concentrations. Increased cardiac output is the main hemodynamic compensatory mechanism in anemia that aims to increase blood flow to the body organs. An increase in heart rate ...

Problem 1

Problem The proportions of smokers is calculated: Smokers Total=585975=0.6. The proportions of non-smokers is calculated: Non-smokers Total=390975=0.4.

These values are used to calculate the expected numbers (Table 2)

The χ2 for the test is calculated using the observed and the expected data: χ2=(Observed-Expected)2Expected

The χ2 is calculated as the sum of the cells in Table 3:

χ2=3.93 + 0.11 + 1.02 + 5.9 + 0.17 + 1.53 = 12.66 The number of degrees of freedom is: f = (Columns – 1)(Rows – 1) = (3 – 1)(2 – 1)= 2. The critical value of χ2 at 0.1 significance level is: χ2(2;0.1)critical=4.61. The null hypothesis is H0: p1 = p2 = p3, all proportions are equal. The alternative hypothesis is H1: p1 ≠ p2 ≠ p3, or at least one proportion is different. ...

The tests are designed to assess progression through the levels, and at any one level the prior language knowledge and attainment required is that defined in the assessment units in the ESL level below measure at the comprehension or higher levels of Bloom’s (Bloom, et al) Taxonomy.

The tests are designed for learners who are aged 18 and over, whose first language is not English. It is expected that the learners’ educational and employment backgrounds will be diverse, as well as their aspirations, literacy levels and language learning skills. This diversity is reflected in a range of material ...

This essay deals with the factors that negatively affect the students’ ability to take tests and achieve a high score, which are unrelated to their previous knowledge on the subject matter at hand. They include lack of proper revision, stress, lack of time and misreading the question. All of these issues call for a retake of the test as a fair course of action, exactly because the low score was not the result of the lack of knowledge on the part of the student, but rather of factors not completely under their control.

Most students regard themselves as proficient when it comes ...

Research and nursing are inseparable. Different health issues will arise from time to time leading to confusion among practitioners. Some conditions will only be understood through execution of ample research. Research is mainly carried out when the professionals in a given field are not aware of a given element that arises. Nursing research is usually sensitive, and it requires consideration of unique procedures known as paradigms and methodologies. The paradigms must be defined in line with the cultural safety of the chosen methods. The paradigms address cultural safety in different ways through excellent consideration of philosophical, ethical, and cultural biases available ...

Introduction

Parents are dissatisfied with the current system of school education because parents argue that girls suffer from the aggressive behavior of children of the opposite sex. Therefore, from the end of the last century, some schools were experiencing the diversion to separate education classes for boys and girls. In this case, they held lessons separately, but extra-curricular activities and the holidays together; however, there is no complete separation, but separation only during lessons. Scale introduction of single sex classroom is striking in many countries around the world, and there are "experimental" classes. The experiments conducted under the supervision of ...

The grade level for which the lesson is designed

This lesson is designed for teaching fifth grade learners on how to deal with mathematic questions that involve the rounding off of numbers to the nearest tenth. This is useful for them because, in their future, they will be dealing with numbers which will require the use of skills of rounding off. Therefore, they should be well equipped on dealing with rounding off of mixed decimals.

The prerequisite concepts and skills students have learned prior to this lesson

There are a few prerequisite concepts and skill that the fifth graders are expected to have learnt in their earlier stages of schooling before this particular lesson. According to Mounts (2011), the first concept ...

Ethics can be defined as the beliefs and ideologies that may influence a person or peoples attitudes and behaviour. Among the ethical theories that exist, there are three major ethical theories. Deontology is one among the three major theories. It states that what will make something bad or good, wrong or right is the fact that it abides/conforms to some rationale. It works with the basic principle of fulfilling of duties for other persons or towards ones own self. The authors of this theory are W.D. Ross and Immanuel Kant. Care ethics is another theory among the three ...

Introduction

Notionally, it is believed that discipline is paramount and should be applied to all social aspects of our daily lives. All laws, whether statutory or religious, reckon that obedience to others is an ultimate way of enhancing social conformity and co-existence. This is viewed as the best way of interacting with other people, especially those close to us and or even strangers.

Analysis of Slumdog Millionaire as an Adaptation of Q&A

Uncommon to popular belief, the hit movie Slumdog Millionaire finds formidable basis from a book entitled Q&A, a novel roughly resembling the overall plot of the movie. Certainly, remarkable differences delineate the resemblance of Slumdog Millionaire to Q&A, although both received remarkable attention due to the central theme of the common plot – that of a young man from the slums winning a popular quiz game show. This analysis proves to explore Slumdog Millionaire in relation to the fact that it is a film adaptation of Q&A. Did the movie fare well as an adaptation of the ...

The Asch Experiment about social conformity tries to test the degree to which perfectly normal individuals can be pressured into unusual behavior by a group of individuals or the authority. A group of about eight individuals participates in the group. Only one of them is subject, and the rest are actors instructed to give preselected answers. The real participant seats second from last. The sitting arrangement is carefully planned to ensure that the influence of the group on the participant is effective. Each participant answers each question in turn. All the other participants have agreed to give correct answers on ...

Milgram’s and Asch’s Experiments on Conformity and Obedience

Understanding how society impacts individual behavioral patterns is the key to understanding human psychology because it is evident that external influences shape human behavior, opinions, beliefs, and values. Social psychology experiments are designed to clarify the correlations between social influences, such as conformity and obedience, and human behavior. For example, Asch (1951) aimed to show how the majority influences individuals through conformity while Milgram (1963) analyzed how obedience influences personal behavior and moral values. However, it is evident that social psychology research should be careful when constructing the experiments because Asch’s experiment lacks a representative sample to derive a valid ...

In biology class last semester, we had to do a group test. There were four students in each group and there were a series of test questions which we had to answer as a group and then submit at the end.

This was quite a stressful experience as the members of the group often disagreed as to what was the correct answer to a question. Sometimes all four member disagreed, and sometimes two of the four members agreed on an answer, but the other two did not.

In an ordinary piece of group work, this wouldn’t have been stressful, but as this was ...
