Torts are wrongful actions that may result to injuries or harm to another person or the person’s properties. These wrongful actions may provide ground for constitution of claim by the affected party.

Hate crimes may be influenced by economic competition and even resentment towards a particular group rather than a generalization about a particular group of people.

This is to mean that most of the reasons that attend the commission of this Continue reading...

Crowded developed cities offer many opportunities for career pursuit, among others, to people living in them. However, like almost anything else, there are two sides of the same coin.

The Body as a Complex Problem

The body harbours all the characteristics of a complex problem. For example, it is a complex system made up of many interconnected components; the legs, the arms, the ears, eyes, the head, the mouth and the waist are some of the distinct parts of the body. The enormity of body parts creates the idea of chaos; all these parts perform different functions, and it is difficult to determine the long-term behaviour of each one of them. However, it is puzzling to note that with so many parts performing different functions, the body appears well-coordinated unless problems arise within any Continue reading...

Connective tissue growth factor induces collagen I expression in human lung fibroblasts through the Rac1/MLK3/JNK/AP-1 pathway

Many lung inflammatory diseases present pulmonary fibrosis as one of the symptoms, which is characterized by shortness of breath, chronic coughing and discomfort in the chest. It causes modifications of the lung tissues due to overgrowth, hardening and scarring. This occurs mainly due to deposition of collagen, an extracellular matrix (ECM) protein, whose turnover is regulated by fibroblast. Fibroblast is an important cell regulator that is enlisted by a site of injury. This process is driven by release of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), platelet-derived growth factor, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and IL-8/CXCL8.
Previously, fibroblast was thought to express no or very Continue reading...

PN variants are associated with extent of atherosclerosis in young persons, which suggest the importance of PN in the development of atherosclerosis in the arterial wall.38,39 This study used Continue reading...

Mobile telephones are now an integral element of everyday life in most developed countries. However, whilst for many users they have become indispensable and almost an extension of the hand – especially for the younger generation – mobile phones can also represent a real safety hazard. Using one whilst driving a vehicle, even if the phone is set to hands free mode, is a distraction from driving, and is illegal in many states and countries. Moreover, using a phone to compile a text message while driving is even more dangerous, because it requires more concentration to input text characters, and, therefore, Continue reading...
