It is true that the patient might be suffering from Swimmer’s ear. According to Hui (2013), Swimmer’s ear is commonly experienced in children and adults. It is clear that swimmer’s ear also causes inflammation, fullness in the inner ear and possible hearing loss (Hui, 2013).It is also true that most of the diagnosis is done by the observation of the outer ear such as the pinna. In some cases, the inflammation of the outer ear might be caused by complications in the fluids found in the inner ear. An otoscope could, therefore, be used to ...

Freud and his followers came up with an unconscious mind account. This serves a significant part in explaining psychoanalysis. There was the division of the mind by Freud into a conscious mind, also known as the ego as well as the unconscious mind. Later, it was demarcated into the id (Instincts and ego) and conscience (superego).According to the theory of Freud, unconscious refers to the processes in the mind whereby individuals create an image of themselves being unaware. Freud came up with a proposal of the hierarchical and vertical architecture of the human consciousness, the preconscious, conscious and ...

Effect heat has on nociceptors

Nociceptors are pain receptors activated by neuropathic or nociceptive stimuli released during pain towards impending or actual tissue injury (Dubin, 2010). Nociceptors frequently are related to the perception of pain are evoked when the pressure and temperature are at a level considered extreme that can cause injuries to tissues and secondly by toxic molecule and inflammatory mediators. In most instances, these injuries concentrate on one section of the skin, blocking the flow of blood. Heat or cold assists in subsecond somatopic withdrawal response the two act as stimuli to depolarize outer terminals resulting in the production of the receptor ...

Abstract:

The principal intention of this study was to come up with the most conducive internal environment in a building. At any given moment, the internal temperature of a building is a function of the amount of heat produced by sources therein and the net heat transfer into or out of the building. The four heat transfer modes are convection, radiation, conduction, and phase- change. In executing this project, the researchers sought the relevant literature to establish the thermal properties of various materials. The properties are critical in determining the amount of heat inflow and exit from the building. The ...

Introduction

Servicescape Booms and Bitner came up with the concept of servicescape. Businesses which are directed towards providing services to the customers directly must take the aspect of servicescape into account. Servicescape, by definition, would refer to the physical environment and the ambiance within which the service is received by the customers (Hoffman, Kelley, and Chung, 2003). The significance of servicescape has always been stressed by marketers because, in the case of organizations which offer service, there is nothing tangible which the customers can feel or touch. Service is an intangible concept and the customers can get an idea about ...

Hamas movement has been perceived over the years as an Islamist extremist terrorist movement. This perception has been informed by the mission behind the formation of the movement which is in a nutshell, the obliteration of Israel and the ultimate establishment of a Palestinian state. Besides, the perception derives justification from the religious ideologies such as fundamentalism and radicalization often associated with Islamism and adopted by the Hamas in addition to several terrorist activities that have been carried out by the movement (Pettersen, 2009). However, this paper seeks to portray the Hamas as a movement in pursuit of self-determination ...

Introduction

Multiple researches suggest that dinosaurs are among the most successful groups of animals to have ever lived on earth. Their body physique and adaptability enhanced their survival thereby extending their life longevity. In the course of time, these species evolved into diverse shapes and sizes. As a result, the different types of evolved organisms embraced various modes of living. According to Xu (2006), nearly 150 years after the discovery of the first fossils of the dinosaur, this species was believed be a reptile. In fact, when Richard Owen found the first remains of this organism, the paleontologists used the ...

We need to explore extraterrestrial space to know better about our origin, and presence in the universe as well as our future. However, there are several arguments against space exploration such as high cost expenditure associated with space research, and potential health risk to explorers. 1. For View Point Space exploration is vital as earth’s resources are constantly put under tremendous pressure by the growing population. Further, there is also a need to know if human inhabitable conditions can occur in planets other than earth, in order to ensure sustainability of life. There is an inherent curiosity to ...

Introduction

According to Jones and Libicki (2013), Border and Transport Security is an important component of a nation’s security effort, which forms a critical component of the protection of citizens from terrorists and other forms of destruction. Massey (2012) holds the same opinion with the only difference being the introduction of a systems approach perspective. This way, Massey (2012) suggests that Border and Transportation Security (BTS) appears as a “series of concentric circles that from a shell-like structure in which the outer shell is comprised of all the preventive efforts operating beyond the country’s borders” (p.6). Therefore, BTS ...

Why do people have problems with the life cycle of their goods? Perhaps all of them would like to use the only one device forever not to spend extra money on the purchase of the new technical equipment made to facilitate their busy life. Whose fault if the thing from the market broke the next day? There is the answer to all of these questions. People are too busy to read the instructions of the exploitation carefully. Instead, they prefer to learn everything by touching, pushing and turning different parts of the bought device. If only all customers would ...

Final Essay: Robert Bresson’s Dictum & Film Analysis of “A Man Escaped”

Introduction The modern film-viewer may anticipate feeling abashed, or risk feeling bored when scrutinizing an old, black-and-white movie that lacks an action package. However, Robert Bresson’s film made in 1956, A Man Escaped, offers a compelling example of filmmaking skills which captivate the attention of its audience. One of Director Robert Bresson’s favorite dictums asserts that “What is for the eye must not duplicate what is for the ear” (“Notes on Sound”). Control of narrative space, and command of sound perspective strategies in the film demonstrate an exercise of the filmmaker’s philosophy. The film analysis herein, ...

Ningbo’s newly completed Central Business District (CBD) belies its status as one of China’s oldest cities. The austere downtown landscape is the equivalent of architecture’s white-washed wall: a place of erasure, forgetting, and dubious progress. With the completion of Wang Shu’s Ningbo Museum in 2008, however, the Ningbo of the present is confronted by the forgotten landscape of its not too distant past. A craggy mountain of a building inspired by the region’s natural topographical features as well its unique crafts and architectural traditions, the Ningbo Museum is not simply an obligatory nod to ...

Politics of nature

There is a new tendency nowadays. Practically each person is eager to lead such a lifestyle that is closer to nature. We try to use natural material for our needs, spend more time in the open air, eat products which don`t contain GMO, replace some habitual things with the help of some new environmentally benign. We are accustomed to a cleaner technology of making the products. We call ourselves «new generation that is in harmony with the natural surrounding». Do we really know what the real nature is? There will be a constant barrier between the humanity and ...

Nowadays it seems to be evident that employees are under the permanent influence of their employers. Therefore, many of the aspects of the employees’ lives have the large outer impact of their workplace and the team of colleagues. However, there should also exist another part of the workers’ actions, which are definitely out of their organization’s reach. This necessity is a natural need of privacy, which concerns the private life and time beyond the borders of their enterprise. Nevertheless, this distinction between the private life and the work time creates some empty space, which creates a well debatable ...

Philosophy

Introduction Man has always gazed at the stars and attempted to answer the question about the existence of any life anywhere else in the Universe apart from Earth. While for the better part of the first two thousand years After Christ, there was a popular assumption that Man is unique in the Universe, the acceptance of the ‘Copernican Principle’ (Tyson, 2003) in the 1500s, when Nicholas Copernicus put the sun back in its proper place at the center of the solar system, propelled the notion that man may not be unique after all. Given the fact that the three ...

Religion is an integral component of human history at different stages of its development. The Muslim Reformation fundamentally different from the Catholic Reformation. “As religious regimes both, Catholicism and Islam, preceded and are likely to outlast the modern world system of nation-states” (Casanova 2). The difference lies in fact that these processes occur at different times and in various specific historical conditions. The Muslim Reformation expressed primarily in the revision (or attempt to revise) religious motivations of the various aspects of social life and only marginally affected the proper theological questions. In Islam church and clergy similar to a ...

Dante’s Inferno presents an allegorical biography of Dante’s effort to conquer sins and enjoy God’s love. The author of this compelling book presents the idea of Hell by explaining nine different circles. The levels descend towards the depth of the hell the (9th level), the circle inhabited by the devil himself. Each circle is a reserve for particular sinners.

In the early 1960s, a lot of people had no doubt that soon a third world war would start. It was supposed to be a nuclear conflict between the US and the Soviet Union, which would lead to the destruction of humanity, or at least to the collapse of modern civilization. Regularly occurring conflicts like the Korean War of 1950-1953 and the Cuban missile crisis of 1962 intensified the tensions and cultivated the fear in society. Sooner or later, with malicious intent or by mistake, the Cold War could turn into a "Hot War". Everyone understood it, and there ...

In the recent past, NASA has been doing excellent and outstanding things in the outer space. The media has hyped the show and depicted NASA as a genius (Frederick).

1. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon The Hanging Gardens of Babylon are one of the ancient wonders, which had been constructed in Babylonia’s capital city, Babylon, situated in the Persian Gulf of the present-day Iraq. King Nebuchadnezzar, who ruled Babylon for over 43 years, built the gardens for his wife, Amyitis in seventh century B.C. . The gardens were 400 feet in length and width, with a height of over 80 feet. The gardens consist of arched terraces placed one above another, which rest upon huge cube-shaped pillars. The terraces are not only hollow, but filled with earth to ...

Abstract

Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) are a type of motors that have permanent magnets mounted on the rotors instead of the rotor windings. This particular design gives the motor a few advantages over ordinary induction synchronous motors. The magnets attached to the rotor do not require excitation, which reduces the power consumption in PMSM. This gives the motor high operational efficiency and reduces the motor active diameter. PMSM are therefore associated with applications that require high torque but have limited operation space. The permanent magnets suffer from flux leakage and are therefore aligned in a pattern that minimizes flux ...

ABSTRACT

Pilot uniforms, particularly in the commercial airline industry, conveys professionalism, competence, and experience. However, historically, uniforms started as a component of safety in aviation, which relied not just in their protective functions but as well in their capability to protect combat pilots from the natural elements of extreme heat and cold, particularly during the era of open cockpits. Protective flight clothing has evolved significantly through decades and even centuries. The sophisticated development in protected flight clothing, however, failed to influence adaption in the civil air transport industry. Using grounded theory through archival literature analysis, the Capstone Project revealed advantages ...

The use of advertisements by companies helps in communicating a certain message about their product. The advert has to be spot on if it seeks to capture the attention of a person. Hence, most adverts feature attractive messages, images, slogans or promotions ideal for the particular product. The fashion and beauty industry focuses on using young, slender and beautiful models to conveying their message. However, it might not please the multitude that does not fit the displayed model, and it brings out the issue of stereotypes in women. Unilever saw the loophole in such imagery and thought of a ...

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. It is a term given to a series of diseases in which the cells within human body grow at an abnormal rate, thereby damaging healthy tissues . While normal cells grow and die at a specific rate according to the requirements of human body, the growth of cells is extreme when compared to the death of cells in cancerous patients.

A disaster is a disruption of the normal functioning of a given locality causing widespread and enormous human, material, economic or environmental losses exceeding the affected community's ability to cope with the losses. This means that the affected community may not be able to fund or handle the scope of losses and effects after the disaster using its resources which are limited. Disasters in this case mainly result from a combination of hazards, ...

Pseudo-History

Pseudo-history can be defined as an alternative take on historical facts and accounts based on speculation, and not on primary sources. Pseudo-history relies on facts that cannot be adequately explained by neither historians nor scientists. Pseudo-science is usually used to bolster pseudo-history. Pseudo-history makes sensationalist claims that cannot be backed by conclusive evidence (“How Thinking Goes Wrong: Common Fallacies in Pseudo-Science and conspiracy thinking,” n.d). There is usually a lot of distaste in accepting logical explanations. Unlike history, pseudo-history seeks to explain everything for how it is today. Pseudo-historians pride themselves in being revolutionary thinkers who see the world ...

Once, mankind believed that the Earth is the center of the solar system, and the entire universe as well. Though tempting as it seems, this narcissistic view was perceived due to the observable motions of the visible heavenly bodies in the sky. However, as mankind learns to invent more powerful tools to understand the cosmos, they learn not just the fact that the sun is the center of the solar system, but also the place of the Earth in the universe. In fact, the view of our place in the universe gradually changed as science and technology cemented over ...

The purpose of this paper is to develop a fundamental idea about the phenomenon of Supernovae and their significance in understanding the nature of our universe. This paper shall be trying to make an in-depth analysis of different types of supernovae that had been observed in universe and also the factors that cause them. Even though the paper does not go deeper into the technical aspects of observing supernovae and the characteristics of their each type, a significant amount of study has been conducted to make an understanding of how they are observed and the characteristics that make each ...

A Supernova is typically the resultant of the explosion of a star. It occurs when a there is a change in the core or the center of a star. Supernovas burn only for s short period of time, but they enable scientists to discover many things about the universe. For instance, a kind of supernova has led them to discover that the universe is constantly expanding and growing and that too, exponentially. They also help to distribute elements all around the universe. It so happens that if a star explodes it throws out debris and star’s elements all ...

Every commercial aircraft is fundamentally designed for safety, passenger acceptance, fuel efficiency and airport compatibility among other important features. Numerous challenges face all current passenger aircrafts, for instance the conventional wing consists of a number of moving parts which increase the weight of the plane and are difficult to adjust and maintain. The current control surfaces also increase turbulence and drag since the smooth flow of air is disrupted, and the aircraft cannot adapt to different flight stages and conditions. Design architectures such as the vertical and horizontal stabilizer surfaces increase the overall drag of the plane, for example, the ...
