While the lack of physical is not the original cause of poor health and increased the prevalence of obesity, it plays a significant role in encouraging the prevalence (Sallis et al. 732). As a consequence, physical activity has been proposed as a health intervention for poor health and mitigation of obesity. Obesity occurs as a result of energy ...

Background

Domestic violence has occurred for as long as their has been a written record. This is evidenced by laws, usually permitting it, throughout antiquity. It has most likely existed since humanity began, as it is observed in our closest genetic relatives, and seems to be stimulated by very primal parts of the brain. The Journal of the American Medical association began to describe battered child syndrome in the 1960’s, and between the beginning of humanity and when domestic abuse began to be described as a societal problem, little if anything was done.

The readings discuss some of the different ways that gender penalizes women and imposes restrictive and unequal expectations on them. Although we have taken great strides to empower women over the last century, due to cultural inertia, true gender equality remains an elusive goal. Women and men have yet to share equal roles and responsibilities in the domestic sphere, and this imbalance affects women’s advancement toward equality in occupational attainment and earnings in the professional sphere. Although women have been steadily increasing the rates at which they hold full-time jobs, participate in the labor force, and work more ...

Research Paper

Introduction The social world is as complex as the physical world. Due to such complexity, sociologists have made considerable efforts to explain various social phenomena through different sociological theories. One of the major sociological theories is functionalism, which has its origins in the works of Herbert Spencer and Emile Durkheim. The functionalist theory explains how societies survive and maintain social stability. It also explores dysfunctional events like suicide. This paper argues that functionalism can provide a reasonable and accurate explanation of the phenomenon of suicide since social factors, like excessive social cohesion or the lack of it and extreme ...

Mechanical ventilation (MV) causes oxidative stress that is responsible for adverse consequences on organs. In a situation of MV, the excessive pressure impairs the function of the mitochondrial respiratory chain leading to oxidative and nitrosative stress (Kavazis, 2009; Hafner et al., 2014). MV is commonly associated with hyperoxia where an excess of oxygen is provided. In such a case an oxidative stress can be induced when the oxygen pressure in the alveolar exceeds that of the normal breathing conditions because the biological system is not able to readily detoxify the environment from components such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) ( ...

Introduction

The exchange rate has become an integral component of modern economics. Its role stems from its far-reaching effects on the economy of a country, investments, the profitability of firms, and personal finances. Countries have become even more interdependent due to the rapid advancement in communication technologies and the expansion of global trade, which have significantly reduced the geographical distance between both individuals and countries. However, since nations use a broad range of domestic currencies with different values, trading partners must, therefore, rely on currency conversion methods to facilitate global transactions. This paper explores the importance of exchange rate and ...

This, however, spilled rapidly to the financial markets before spilling over to the real economy. This paper discusses the causes of the financial crisis and the measures that ...

Abstract

The mainstream economic theory holds that globalization is beneficial for every country, both developing and developed. However, the mainstream view relies on the comparative advantage theory, which embraces many unrealistic assumptions such as free mobility of labor and sustainable trade. These assumptions lead to adverse effects to countries that adopt globalization without a strategic plan. Importantly the U.S. is experiencing loss of jobs, an imbalance in income distribution and unfair competition due to globalization. These impacts arise when companies shift their production process to cheap labor zones and due to increased demand for skilled labor. This paper has four ...
