Diabetes develops due to chronic deficiency of insulin and it is accompanied by disorders of carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism. By interfacing with other diseases endocrinology highlights symptomatic (secondary) and true diabetes. Symptomatic diabetes accompanies diseases of the endocrine ...

Describe how a nerve impulse is transmitted from one neuron to the next

The transmission from one neuron to another is characterized by exchange of electric charge across the membrane of each neuron (Fields, 2014). An unstimulated neuron would be polarised (McCance 2014). In the polarized state, there is difference in the electric charge across the membrane. However, during exchange, a neuron is said to undergo polarization, wherein there is an excess of Na+ (sodium ions) outside and excess of K+ (potassium ions) on the outside (Fields, 2014). Nerve impulse is transmitted through the process of polarization, repolarization, and hyperpolarization (McCance 2014).

I talked to an employee who works in the ministry of foreign affairs in the government, and he believes that the workers who work for the government are usually unfairly compensated. They have to work for long hours and at times are even overworked when there is excess work, and they only get the fixed salary. Also, in case one gets sick, they do not get days offs and get paid; instead, one has to work to compensate for the gone days. The leaves they get are not paid and thus experience some problems since they do not get ...

How Does Demand and Supply Affect All Businesses?

Economists use the model of supply and demand to analyze competitive market. Combination of the two sides of the market with each other creates the equilibrium price and the equilibrium volume and market equilibrium. A competitive market is characterized by a large number of buyers and sellers, each of which either has little effect, or no effect on the market price (Boundless, n. d.). Qualitative characteristic of the market equilibrium is that the market is balanced in this situation, i.e. neither sellers nor buyers have incentive to imbalance. Conversely, if the market is not in equilibrium, there is a ...

Voluntary Simplicity Meets Modern Consumerism

INTRODUCTION When people look at the modern world today the first thing they recognize is the evidence of humanity’s development of the world, how they harvested the needed environment for energy and rejoice in the modern technological advances that allow for a fantastic amount of convenience to many people’s everyday lives.

Many argue that these advances and conveniences have led to an unhealthy kind of consumerism; ideologies that place a great deal ...

The Mars Climate Orbiter: A Multimillion Dollar Mistake

The Story Grossman (1999) addresses the incident of NASA’s Mars Climate Orbiter in her article named “Metric Math Mistake Muffed Mars Meteorology Mission”. She explains how a simple unit conversion mistake caused the Orbiter to burn up in the Martian atmosphere. The vessel costed NASA a whopping $125 million when it vanished into the Martian atmosphere. The problem, later identified by a NASA review board, owed to a software glitch. The software was used to calculate the thrust in “pounds of force” while the other software took the input in “newtons”. This happened due to the fact that ...

Pollution from agricultural runoff has brought great danger to both human beings and the organisms that live in water. Various chemicals used in crop production are dragged into water sources, poisoning the water (Kennen & Kirkwood, 2015). This poses a danger to the existence of living organisms. Consumption of contaminated water by humans leads to waterborne diseases such as cryptosporidiosis which causes diarrhea, vomiting, fever, weight loss, and stomach cramps (Lichtfouse, 2009). The essay below describes significant ways in which this form of pollution can be prevented. First, fencing of livestock grazing areas at about 100 meters from water sources ...

Introduction

Radiologic technologist refers to a healthcare professional that carries out diagnostic imaging processes (Hong et al., 2013). The diagnostic imaging procedures include magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography scan as well as X-ray examinations. Many of these professionals work full-time hence working at least 40hours a week. However, studies suggest that overworking these professionals lead to fatigue which brings about discrepancies in their operations (Nejati-Koshki et al., 2014).

Effect of overworking radiologic technologists

Overworking radiological technologists result from under-staffing these practitioners in a health care system (Niederwanger et al., 2013). Staff shortage is considered the leading cause of discrepancies and errors in radiology (Yi et ...

How much a firm can grow

Sustainable Growth Rate: How much a firm can grow A company requires capital to finance the growth. This can be achieved by using internally generated funds, or by issuing new equity shares. But, it has been observed that companies show reluctance in issuing new equity to raise capital (Firer, 1995, p-57). Without recourse to new equity capital, there is a limit to the growth of the company. The company can grow without opting for external equity finance by altering its present financial structure.

Sustainable Growth Rate and its Importance

There exists an important relation between growth in sales, and increase in assets and equity. Rapid ...

How absentee fathers affect teen pregnancy in daughters

Introduction The family is the basic unit of society. From this structure, individuals learn the tenets of how to integrate into society and cope with other members. Most mammal species live in the family unit, be it nuclear or extended. Within the family, members learn to bond, share and assist each other with difficulties. The human species shows the most sophisticated form of human organization. When children get born, they only get taught how to survive as adults, but there are certain values that parents must pass on to their children. Each family and society have different values and ...

Within the economic environment, the production possibility frontier theory reveals that companies and countries are limited to a specific volume of production especially with the type of technology available to them (Becerra, 2009, p.12). Huff et al. (2009, p.81) revealed that countries usually have a limited number of products that they can produce within their manufacturing facilities due to raw materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead constraints (Huff et al., 2009, p.81). Therefore the maximization of the production possibility frontier of each country or firm is primarily based on the available resources as well as its production experience (Becerra, 2009, ...

Abstract

Individuals and business organizations with investment potential or the desire to become investors often find themselves having limited capital to undertake the desired projects. Additionally, most investors are often confused when carrying out analysis to assess the risk of the various portfolio in which they intend to invest their resources. The governments have developmental projects that require more financial resources than their revenue due to budget deficits. Having excess money in the circulation is dangerous to an economy because it results in excess aggregate demand that produces inflationary gaps. As such, the government must regulate money supply to ensure ...

Although the alcohol is a legal drug while the consumption of cannabis is illegal in many countries, alcoholism has enormous effects on the health and the life of the consumer. Lewis et al.

If a fuel mixture can be represented by the general formula CxH2x, prove that the stoichiometric gravimetric air/fuel ratio is 14.8:1.

The combustion reaction for a given fuel mixture will look as follows:

CxH2x + 1.5x(O2 + 3.76N2) → xCO2 + xH2O + 1.5x*3.76N2 The molar ratio is 1.5x:1, to find the gravimetric ratio, the masses of the air and fuel should be found. This can be done by multiplying molar ratio with molar weights of the fuel and air. m(fuel) = 12*x + 2x*1 = 14x m(air) = 1.5x(16*2 + 3.76*14*2) = 1.5x*137.28 = 205.92x The gravimetric stoichiometric air/fuel ratio then is 205.92x:14x = 14.71:1 The dry exhaust gas analysis from an ...

(Professor/Instructor) (Course/Major)

The US Constitution allows Congress the power to deploy the ‘militia’ with the objective of “executing the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions.” In addition, it ensures that the states are protected against aggression to overthrow the “republican government” and, upon the request of the state government, against civil disturbances. These constitutional tenets are seen in the 1807 Insurrection Act prior to and after the adoption of 1878 Posse Comitatus Act. The latter bans the deliberate engagement of any component of the Army or the Air Force unless allowed by the ambit of Congress ...

As athletes, physicians, sports professionals, and the general public continue to search for the most effective diet for nutrition and physical development, high protein diets have emerged as a viable alternative for many people. However, there are disagreements about how to define a “high protein diet” (Tipton). Touted for many years, the Atkins Diet initially allows no calories from carbohydrates and moves into a maintenance regimen of only meat and vegetables (Westman, Phinney and Volek). The Paleo Diet has emerged as a similar recommendation of organ meats, fruits, vegetables, and nuts while excluding grains, sugar, dairy, and legumes (Tarantino, ...

Edmonds, Tsay, and Olds (2011, p.314) considers the cash budget to be one of the most important operating budgets developed by the company. The reason for this is that it reveals the amount of cash excess and deficit incurred by the company, which is usually on a monthly basis (Horngren, Harrison, & Oliver, 2012, p.1065). The additional purpose of the cash budget is that it reveals the amount of cash that can be used by the company for short-term investments or for the repayment of previous borrowings in the event of a cash excess (Edmonds, Tsay, & Olds, 2011, p.315).

Scarce professional skills and positions in society attract higher rewards because they are functionally important hence accompanied by high prestige, good salary, and resources to have enough leisure. Ownership of capital goods has also contributed to the unequal distribution of money. However, such ownership does not come easily since individuals need to have proper management of their financial resources to make them engage in investments that keep them above others in the society. However, the fact that the high rewards associated with technical knowledge create an excess supply of expertise means that rewards to be paid to those qualified ...

IX. Business Ethics Ritenbaugh (2016) believes that the Bible is based on governing over man, self and God. It implies that bible defines the corporate organization as a defiance of the bible since it promotes the good of the self by generating profits while a single individual rules over others. The goal of business operations is considered by Ritenbaugh (2016) to be a sin since encourages other individuals or employees to achieve higher profits for the organization and its owners, which are the shareholders. However, Proverbs 14:23 where “in all labour there is profit” (King, 2016) the bible concurs ...

Understanding the concept of Heart Failure

Heart failure (HF) can be defined as a condition wherein the heart fails to pump sufficient blood to the body at the appropriate pressure. In other heart failure cases, the heart is unable to fill enough blood or the heart is unable to pump sufficient blood to other parts of the body with the desired force. Most heart failure patients suffer from both problems. Heart failure is misunderstood as the heart stops working or is about to stop working. However, it is not true but a serious condition that require immediate care (Grossman, S.C & Porth, CM 2014).

Account of virtue

Aristotle perceives virtue as a twofold phenomenon which comprises both thought and character. The thought aspect of virtue stems arises from teaching. It means that thought develops after some time and experience. The character aspect of virtue stems from the habit (ethos) of a person. The classification of virtue as thought and character rejects idea that it can occur naturally because “nothing natural can be habituated to be otherwise” (Aristotle 138). Aristotle observed that habit is an important element of virtue because most learning takes place by developing a habit for some things. He added that even though some ...

There are many different theories as to how a person should lead his or her life. One of the first and most important philosophers to have thought about this in the Western tradition was Aristotle in his Nichomachean Ethics. In this text, he proposes an ethical theory based on virtues that a person should cultivate in order to be happy, or under a state of flourishment. For him, virtues are habits that one should establish in the mean of two excesses. For example, the virtue of temperance should be developed as a midpoint between pain and pleasure in order ...
