Essays on Disturbed

The systems that can adapt in reaction to unanticipated external disturbances and events during their operation are called autonomous systems . These systems have capability of self-adaptation, self-configuration, self-monitoring, tuning, and other kinds of adjustment without requiring external control input . Autonomous systems are also referred to as self-managed systems due to their independence from external controls. These systems are built such that their components satisfy the design intent in the presence of small perturbations, external disturbances, noise, or other environmental changes. In realm of control systems theory, autonomous systems carry the similar concept mentioned above. Talking in terms of state ...

Abstract

A complete and thorough health assessment can help in the correct diagnosis (Dingman, 1941). According to a famous saying “A case well taken is half solved”. A well taken case should include complete description of the patient’s mental, physical and social well being. Mere jotting down of physical signs and symptoms may not give the true picture of a disease. As every patient is a different individual, thorough case taking is required in order to establish the individuality of the patient. Many features of the patients may have a role to play in his or her health, therefore, ...

Dear Mr. Whiteshow,

I am writing to express my complaint about a disturbing neighborhood. The matter concerns the residents of the apartment 17a in the building 698, Lake Forest Drive. I am very concerned with the irreverent behavior of my neighbors. Living on the same floor, I frequently hear some noise from that apartment after late hours. Most often it is too loud music. My other neighbors and me discussed it a few times, but we never raised an issue seriously. We have also addressed the ...

Edgar Allan Poe, the celebrated American writer, critic and editor, holds a prominent place among the literary circle. He is famous for his excellent short stories and poems, surrounded by an aura of anonymity and obscurity. He can rightly be termed as a Romantic who is often recognized as the forerunner of the detective fiction and science fiction. His personal life endured many ups and downs. The tremors of love and feelings find persuasive expression in most of his works. The Cask of Amontillado, The Tell- Tale Heart, The Black Cat, The Masque of the Red Death are some ...

Theodore Bundy, known as Ted, was born in 1946 and was a source of shame to his mother, who was not married when she gave birth.

Free Will and Determinism: A Response to the Problem from the Perspective of Three Philosophical Positions

The concept of free will has been essential in religion and philosophy, but this concept has been opposed to a new one, namely determinism, which is the result of years of scientific progress and the discovery of natural laws. Free will represents the capacity to act independently, or to take decisions based on personal wish, regardless of the pressures one is subject to. On the other hand, determinism is based on the idea that all actions performed by human beings are determined by natural laws and different causal factors, and in fact there is no free will. This idea ...

Introduction

Seagrass beds are amongst the most productive marine habitats and their wide-ranging distribution. They provide homes and food sources for many marine animals, prevent erosion and provide nurseries for many commercial and recreational fish species. Despite their importance to the environment, seagrass beds are increasingly being decimated by the results of human activities. The destruction of seagrass beds may have serious consequences on the biodiversity of coastal regions and as a consequence, may negatively impact on commercial and recreational fishing, and ultimately all marine species.

Description of Issue

Seagrasses are flowering plants that live in marine and estuarine habitats. They are rooted ...

It was in Dead Poets Society that I have first encountered the words Carpe diem. In the movie, the main protagonist (Keating) explains the phrase Carpe diem with this sentence: “Because we are food for worms, lads. Because, believe it or not, each and every one of us in this room is one day going to stop breathing, turn cold and die.” (“Dead Poets Society” 14:40－14:53) That is why Keating encouraged his students to “seize the day.” But the real question is what does it take in order for an individual to seize the day? For Robert Herrick, ...

The sentencing of youths after trials to adult prison has continued in the United States for quite some time now with an estimated 250, 000 youths being incarcerated as adults and hence landing into Adult prison annually. This has been attributed to the changes in laws across forty-nine American states in the ‘90s that increase the number of youths being given adult trials. However, CDC (Center for Disease and Control) and the US Department of Justice stated in 2008 that sending minors to a criminal justice system that is specifically designed to handle adults does not reduce or protect ...

Edgar Allan Poe’s fiction used symbols and intense imagery to tap into the dark and unknown parts of human existence. Hit gothic tales sought to redefine the ultimate human experience by showing the prevalence of horror in everyday life. Normal individuals are driven to rage and madness and they get to commit the most heinous crimes without reasonable justification for their actions. In “Legia” and “The Black Cat”, Poe relies on symbolism and imagery to show humanity’s relationship with nature and death. Poe explores man’s attempt at rationalizing the irrational. This paper seeks to compare and ...

Behaviors of Adolescent Sex Offenders

Adolescent sex offenders can be classified based on categories of offenders, type of their victims and the manner of their offenses. Valid empirical typologies should show distinct profiles of juvenile sex offenders, and the characteristic of their offenses that reflect the underlying psychological problems or disorders. This is very crucial because this information can be used to evaluate the unique needs of each group relevant to clinical intervention and assessment of recidivism. Recent research has primarily subdivided the juvenile sexual offenders based on the age of their victims, history of delinquency, their personality.

Subtypes Based on Victims Age

Research shows that male adolescent sexual ...

Section I – Theory Information

Chosen theory (Person-Centered Therapy) Person-Centered Therapy aims at offering an individual a chance to create a sense of self, whereby one can realize how his/her emotion, perspective and conduct are negatively impacted (Cepeda & Davenport, 2006).

Evidently, most people still rely on this theory for mental and emotional healing. A key idea of this therapy is that in a certain psychological setting, the attainment of individual potential entails being sociable, the desire to be close to people ...

According to EPA (2016), environmental management involves the development of systems aimed at reducing environmental impacts of various activities. In the Brundtland commission report (WCED), sustainable development has been described as development aimed at meeting the current needs of the present generation. However, as the current generation focuses on meeting their own needs, their activities should not compromise the capability of future generations to also meet their own needs. Available evidence suggests that the future generation would have challenges meeting their own needs if the current generation fails to adopt sustainable practices. The sustainable development incorporates the triple line: ...
