Introduction

The desire to conform to the norms is what makes the foundation of a civilized society. Social order, for instance, is a desired attribute that is founded on established written and unwritten rules that are being observed by most people within a society. Deviation from these established rules is considered as undesirable and people who deviate are considered as having abnormal qualities or malfunctioning (Merton, 2002, p. 672). There are instances, however, wherein some people are observed to deviate from the standard pattern of human behavior. This deviation has captured the interest of many social scientists and have been ...

Organizational Design

Contrary to typical assumptions that will associate the concept of organization design with that of structuring organizational charts and the likes, organization design has a more comprehensive and practical designation than it really sounds. There is a holistic way of looking at organization design –it is the modeling and alignment of all the involved elements of an organization with the intention of achieving an agreed upon objective. Organizational design is a forthright organizational process with a pertinence so outspoken, that it should literally be addressed in every status meeting of every department on that organization. Organization design is carried ...

Discussion

Does he experience pain or any shortness of breath when he coughs? Has he used any over the counter drugs before to relieve his pain? Is he a smoker? These questions will enable me to categorize the cough and identify the root cause of the cough. Based on the duration of the cough, I would classify the cough as a chronic cough since it has lasted noted more than eight weeks precisely it has for three months. Chronic coughs mostly result from medications and medical conditions (Kenny, 2017) The diagnostic tests that I want to include in my diagnosis ...

(What did I Learn) The word genocide refers to the murder or killing of an entire group of people or tribe. It further entails the systematic and deliberate extermination of a national or ethnic group which was the situation the Native Americans faced according to the film Dakota 38 and Dr. Mato Nunpa’s article. The two resources capture the horrendous experiences of the indigenous tribe in the hands of the White men and their social implications then and centuries later. The White race was determined to bring an end to the Native Indian people because it considered them ...

Introduction

A recent report of the International Longevity Center-UK (ILC-UK) indicated that dementia can no longer be viewed as an isolated disorder due to a high prevalence of medical comorbidities, often undiagnosed, associated with it (Scrutton & Brancati, 2016). Patients with dementia also had received a less coordinated comorbidity treatments, resulting to the faster decline of their daily functioning, a reduction in their quality of life (QOL), and earlier mortality events than patients with these comorbidities, but in the absence of dementia. The report also noted other important findings, which exacerbated the need for better therapeutic options in dealing with dementia, ...

Rocky mountain spotted fever is tick-borne infection. In endemic areas, the prevalence of the diseases is 15 per 100,000 persons. The disease is characterized by sudden onset of fever and headache. It is caused by gram-negative intracellular bacteria Rickettsia rickettsii. The bacteria have a high predisposition for the endothelial cell. Actin protein polymerization in the cells is important for the spread of bacteria from one cell to another. (Raoult & Parola, 2007) The bacteria cause lymphohistiocytic vasculitis and necrosis of the infected cells. It typically takes 5-7 days from the day of tick bite to the onset of symptoms. ...

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is the most encountered cardiac rhythm disorder in clinical practice. It affects <1% of persons aged <60 years. This prevalence increases to 10% in persons aged >80 years (Amerena, Walters, Mirzaee and Kalman, 2013). Atrial fibrillation is a key differential diagnosis in patients presenting with chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, light-headedness, and syncope (Cruickshank, 2008). This paper will examine the differential diagnosis, pathophysiology, and paramedic implications of atrial fibrillation in relation to the case of a 43-year old male who presents with features and ECG findings of atrial fibrillation.

Question/Problem Definition

Equal pay is one of the most pertinent issues in labor laws and regulation. Most governments across the globe have institutionalized legislation that aim to safeguard their citizens and ensure that they are well compensated for their talents regardless of their origin, race, gender and other distinguishing characteristics. However, this is not usually the case. In spite of having such laws, the labor market especially the private sector is far from realizing and implementing equal pay. The state is even worse in developing countries where most women employees do not earn even half as much as their male counterparts ...

In order to reduce the United States’ dependence on fossil-fuel energy resources, alternate sources of renewable must be investigated in order to reduce the country’s emission of greenhouse gas emissions which contribute to global warming. At the recent COP21 Climate Summit in Paris, the United States committed to a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 26-28 percent below its 2005 level. This includes reductions in methane, carbon dioxide, perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride, nitrogen trifluoride and nitrous oxide, all of which contribute to global warming . In order to achieve these targets, the United States will need to employ alternative sources ...

Multiple Choice Questions

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 ...

Introduction/Problem Statement

Despite much hullabaloo on women's equality and empowerment, it is not yet ascertained that the fairer sex is considered as equal when it comes to employment. Four decades after the enactment of Equal Pay Act, research finds that the salary of female bosses runs 35 percent short of their male colleagues. Statistics galore revealing the wage differential across occupations and industries. By contrast, critics on the 'right' opine that the pay gap is just a 'myth' as women deserve to get paid less because they work in less demanding jobs than male counterparts. Obviously, the issue carries much heft ...

Introduction Wheat (Triticum sp.), an extensively adapted crop, is one of the primitive and primary staple food crops in the world. Wheat is cultivated from temperate; dry to irrigated or rain-fed areas, to warm, humid or cold conditions. Such a high adaptability is attributed to its intricate genome (Acevedo et al., 2002). Wheat cultivation covers more land area compared to other commercial crops and endures to be an essential food grain for humans (Curtis, 2002). Estimations reveal that by 2050, the population of the world will reach 9.1 billion (34 percent greater than today); correspondingly, the food requirement and ...

Discuss the workup of the cervical lymphadenopathy.

The initial step is to direct a complete and deliberate physical examination to decide its exact location, consistency, size, obsession, and delicacy joined by a complete presentation history and an audit of the patient's indications. This would help determine the type of treatment and whether there is a need for further tests (Gow & Minkes, 2016).

What tests would you do first and why?

Further, tests would be carried out to determine the exact nature and extent of the lymphadenopathy. If it were malignant, the tests would be to determine the extent to which it has spread in order to determine the course of treatment. If otherwise, the ...

Based on the patient’s subjective and objective assessment, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) and tonsillitis feature predominantly as the most probable causes of the symptoms. While a differential diagnosis points to the possibility of these two diseases, it is evident that tonsillitis can be ruled out from the case since there no signs of swollen tonsils or difficulties in swallowing (Weinberger & Fischer, 2014). Swelling of tonsils and pain are classical symptoms of tonsillitis but based on the subjective assessment findings, these symptoms are absent. As such, this GERD the primary cause of the symptoms and the most probable diagnosis ...

Apparently, the patient appeared active, cooperative and well developed and nourished. In fact, he showed signs of no distress. However, I took a physical assessment of various parts of his body and noted several observations. To begin with his mouth or throat, the mucus membranes were moist. The regional lymph glands were not swollen, and thus there was no any indication of tonsillar exudate. The pharynx was normal whereas the oropharynx was clear. Moreover, there was no any indication of lymphadenopathy at the cervical lymph nodes. As for the eyes, the Conjunctiva was bilaterally red with a scant watery ...

The historical perspectives on social work incorporate the idea that it could simply be reduced to common sense of experienced mothers, but the modern understanding of social work moves it far beyond this narrow interpretation. Nowadays, “social workers constantly try to make a positive difference to service users’ lives and support community members in a variety of ways” (Stepney & Ford, 2000, p.xiii). In this process, a balanced combination of theory and practice is required, while practice standards used to protect the individuals in society and enhance social justice are based on the solid body of theoretical perspectives, frameworks and ...

1. A fever of unknown origin (FUO) in a patient with leukemia leads itself to a wide range of differential diagnoses. Traditionally FUO is divided into four categories: classic, nosocomial, neutropenic, and HIV-associated. Classic FUO can be a result of infections, malignancy, or collagen vascular disease. Nosocomial FUO is most likely due to C. difficle infections, pulmonary embolism, or an infected catheter. Neutropenic FUO can be caused by opportunistic bacterial or fungal infection. Lastly, HIV FUO can be due to M. avium-intracellulare complex or P. carinii. Most likely because of the patient’s WBC count and history of leukemia, ...

Abstract

The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) Test is used by the psychologists to determine the extent of depression among the patients so that adequate interventions and treatments can be incorporated to hinder the extent of depression. There are certain errors that can effect the test specially when respondents fail to understand the questions and are under influence of drugs or alcohol, due to which their responses do not remain valid to draw conclusions. The errors during the manual calculation of scores can lead to false interpretation whereas the prevalence of construct validity is also required to incorporate the consistent level ...

Likert Scale

The preceding Likert scale reflects a total of 7 questions that would provide a significant and substantive understanding of how consumers feel about quinoa. According to both Gebreyes (2014) and Ancient Harvest (2016), quinoa is becoming extremely popular among consumers because it offers a heavy amount of protein content and is a perfect substitute for breakfast cereals and side dishes such as rice and pasta that would traditionally be a part of lunch and dinner (2014; 2016). The grocery stores would want to know the viability of quinoa products selling at its store and the 7 questions would provide ...

Introduction

Taking measurements may require the conversion of the measured quantity to electrical quantity. Transducers are devices or elements that perform this function by transforming physical quantities such as quantities like sound, light, or temperature into electrical signals like current, voltage, or capacity. Transducers consist of inputs, sensing elements, transduction elements, signal processing, and electrical outputs. The inputs known as the measurands are the quantities, states, or properties that are to be translated into electrical outputs. The sensing elements accurately measure these input energies and sends the information to the transduction elements to be transformed into the desired form. The ...

Reflections about Transaxle transmission

Source: “Automatic transmissions and transaxles” This paper gives my reflection, that is, my understanding of Transaxle transmissions. Transaxle, which is also known as Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) is the type of automatic transmission responsible for improved performance by supporting better fuel consumption and allowing for the smoother driving experience. Types of CVT engines include Reeves drive or Variable-diameter pulley (VDP), Magnetic CVT, Hydrostatic CVT, Roller-based CVT among others. In most of the vehicles we have today, the most used type of CVT is the VDP. Unlike the ‘traditional’ automatic transmissions, CVT changes gear ratio without someone hearing or feeling ...

Abstract

In this experiment, benzene was treated with hydrogen in the presence of Pt/SiO2 as an example that can be applied on industrial operations to show that the most recently modernized methods of neutron total scattering that cover a wide Q-range allow the use of appropriate catalytic chemistry that can be measured on time domain to probe directly on site the hydrogenation of benzene within the catalyst pore. Based on this method, it is possible to study the rates of reaction on length scales that can provide measurements equivalent to the size of an atom or a nanometre. Furthermore, the ...

Bovine tuberculosis (TB) refers to a chronic bacterial infection of cattle that distresses some species of mammals. It is a substantial zoonosis that may spread to humans, mainly via the consumption of unpasteurized milk or the inhalation of aerosols. In developed nations, eradication initiatives have eliminated or reduced tuberculosis in cattle. As a result, human disease is currently rare. Nevertheless, reservoirs in wildlife may cause eradication challenging. Bovine tuberculosis remains popular in underdeveloped nations, and severe economic losses may take place from livestock mortalities, trade restrictions, and chronic disease. In some circumstances, this disease can similarly be a grave ...

Introduction

There exist multiple factors that influence the level of reward paid to different workers. The wage rates, just like prices of other commodities are greatly determined by the forces of demand and supply. The kind of economic significance attached to wage differentials cannot be overlooked since they have a direct influence on the distribution and allocation of economic resources. Workers with equal abilities in a competitive market receive rewards that are meant to cancel out the non-wage differences between their jobs. These differentials represent the variability and diversity of abilities of different workers both physically and mentally to contribute ...

Mathematics is the queen of sciences. It gives us a lot of things that successfully find their application in various scientific spheres but seem to be completely useless in ordinary daily life. One of such things is a matrix. Matrix helps us to solve differential equations, but one could say that its practical application looks rather vague. However, this statement is inaccurate. The aim of this paper is to discuss matrices and to observe their use in everyday life. For a start, let’s make a brief overview of matrices and their scientific applications. According to the textbook, a ...

Abstract:

Theories were developed over the years, as researchers and sociologists tried to explain the reasons why there is crime within the communities. These theories include the social bonds theory, the self-control theory, the power control theory, the control balance theory, the differential coercion theory, and the social support theory. Based on the theories, there are five realities behind the causation of crime: (1) that crime is caused by weakening bonds to the society; (2) that crime is the effect of having low self-control; (3) that crime is caused by occupational patriarchy; (4) that it is caused by the roles ...

Answer 1) In case, the company use 90-day forward contract, it will be required to pay: =300000*(0.40) = $120000

On the other hand, if it go by money market hedge, initially, it will invest:

=300000/1.03 = 291262 ringits In other words, in order to accumulate 300000 ringits in 90 days, the firm will need to deposit 291262 ringits presently. Henceforth, the firm will need to borrow, 291262* 0.404= $117,670 in the spot market.

The borrowed amount will be paid after 90-days with 4% interest, and this compute to:

= 117,670*(1.04) = $122,377 Therefore, by using the money market hedge, firm will need to pay $2377 more than the forward hedge. Hence, it should go for the forwar hedge

I. Introduction Advances in recombinant DNA technology and bioinformatics-based data analysis have driven the explosion of structural biology in the last two decades (Kelly, Jess, and Price 119). This has resulted to the identification of at least 2000 proteins annually and a growing need in performing structural studies in these new proteins. The current trend involves the concern of analyzing protein structures close to its natural conditions (and other conditions) and of measuring their rates of structural changes, an essential factor in their biological functions. The technique of circular dichroism (CD) has gained an increasing popularity in addressing these ...

Uranium (U) element was discovered by a German chemist, Heinrich Klaproth, in 1789. Uranium is a radioactive element with an atomic weight of 238.02891 and an atomic number of 92. The uranium element initially discovered by Heinrich was an oxide, uranium oxide. A French chemist, Eugène-Melchoir Péligot, was the first person to produce pure uranium by reacting it with potassium in a heated platinum crucible. The element’s radioactive properties were established in 1896 by a French physicist known as Antoine Henri Becquerel. Currently, uranium can be extracted from various ores such as carnotite (K2(UO2)2VO4· ...

Genome imprinting is the latest technique that has genetically modified the face of infertility; it is an epigenetic phenomenon through which the parental origin of a gene is determined based on its expression. 1 There are a vast number of genes in mammals that are marked with their parental origin, and the result of this phenomenon is a single parental allele. These marked genes are known as “imprinted.” They rely on the epigenetic machinery determining their parental identity and maintaining their origin-specific gene expression. There are 100 imprinted genes estimated in human and 200 ...
