Introduction

Any contact between two bacterial cells that translates to the transfer of genetic material constitutes bacterial conjugation (Casali and Preston, 2003). Transfer of the DNA through conjugation falls under horizontal gene transfer (Singh et al., 2013). The genetic information is transferred to the recipient bacterium on a plasmid, and the mechanism and proteins involved vary based on the plasmid type in the donor strain (Casali and Preston, 2003). Application of conjugation can cause transfer of disrupted genes on a self-transmissible plasmid to form a mutant strain. Conjugation allows for bacterial biodiversity, which is significant in the sense that bacteria can acquire ...

Literature

Anzia Yezierska draws Hanneh Hayyeh in a way that makes readers to sympathize with her. Hanneh is a lower class lady who works for Mrs. Preston. She owns nothing that she can really attribute to herself. More so, Preston discriminates her and does not want to treat her in decent manner although she has the ability to do so. This also makes me to dislike Mrs. Preston since she lacks the sense of humanity though she is not fully heartless. She does not view Hanneh as her equal simply because Hanney is poor. A writer can use strong characters that should take ...

This therefore becomes a very important aspect in tourism, bearing in mind that it is one ...

In recent years, China has exhibited rapid economic growth due to massive debt and injection of government subsidies. Leveraging is essential for funding modernization efforts, but when done excessively, it signals an unbalanced economy. Statistics given by Fitch (2013) show a rise in overall credit in China from US$9 trillion to US$23 trillion since 2008. If history is anything to go by, China is headed towards a banking crisis and severe credit crunch since credit is the lifeline for its state-owned companies (Chen 2006, p. 11).This essay reiterates the chances of China experiencing an economic crash if steps ...

Human beings (Homo sapiens) and chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) belong in the same order of primates and the Hominidae family. This is because they have common characteristics that lead them to be grouped together in this order. A number of similar biological aspects make human and chimpanzees to be grouped together. Both chimpanzees and humans have highly flexible limbs that end up with five fingers. These limbs for both limbs and hind limbs enable this order of animals to perform various activities such as climbing trees and the use of tools. Human beings and chimpanzees have flexible shoulders and ...

Introduction

People form the backbone of organisations. No organisation can exist without people. It is people who work in an organisation. The employees are instrumental in accomplishing the goals and objectives of an organisation. But, each individual has his or her own thought process and priorities. So, it becomes difficult to align people to organisational goals. It is, therefore, important to have an effective leader who can drive people towards a common purpose. There are various ways in which leaders influence their people towards a shared goal, like charisma or fear. The objective of this paper is to delve into the charismatic ...

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND IMMIGRATION REFORMS INTRODUCTION On November 20 2014, President Obama spoke on immigration and stated, “We were strangers once, too. And whether our forebears were strangers who crossed the Atlantic, or the Pacific, or the Rio Grande, we are here only because this country welcomed them in, and taught them that to be an American is about something more than what we look like, or what our last names are, or how we worship”. The United States of America has existed as a country with many immigrants originating from those who initially crossed the bridge that ...

Prior the Revolutionary War of between 1775 and 1783, Britain was in control of its American colony, much to the chagrin of the latter. With the colonization came laws of governance imposed on the Americans as a form of dominance by the British forces. With the forced management and the increasing need for independence among the colonized nation, the resulting tense relations were inevitable if not expected. Boston city was no different as its people continued to repel the presence of the Britons in its society. Consequently, on March 5, 1770, a confrontation between people from both sides, in Boston Massachusetts, ...

Illegal Immigration and the Obama Administration

Introduction The current influx of illegal immigration at the United States and Mexico border affects every aspect of American life. For each individual residing in the United States, citizen or alien, the legal status of each person should matter to all of us. Currently, in the United States, the majority of our hospitals, classrooms, and prisons remain overcrowded. We can no longer turn a blind eye to the political, social, and economical issues that have slowly resulted due to weak attempts to combat the flood of illegal immigrants crossing into America (Savino 88). Political analysts have suggested that President ...

The soundness of the health care system in any country is based on the role and prevalence of the public and private sectors in delivering care. People pay for their health benefits and cost either through the public or government insurance schemes or manage it through the private sector. Health insurance providers differ in each country and in some countries the government plays a bigger role providing universal health care to its citizens through tax funded programs. There are also other countries where the government plays a limited role and health insurance is largely handled by the private sector. In the ...

McConnell versus Grimes for United States Senate

- Introduction When most Americans think about election time, they often refer to the Presidential election that occurs every four years. However, the outcomes of the United States midterm election most often affect Americans on an individual level compared to the outcomes of the Presidential race. Midterm elections are held every two years after the four-year Presidential election has occurred. Virtually all United States Congress, including the House of Representatives and Senate, have seats up for grabs, and at least three-fourths of our 50 states will hold gubernatorial elections as well (Pfiffner and Davidson 254). It should ...

Recently, significant debates have risen over the issue regarding the independence of Scotland from the United Kingdom. These debates have seen over four million voters within the state supporting the idea that would resultantly imply an end to a political union between Scotland and England for over 305 years. These supporters are driven by the notion that the economy of Scotland as well as other sectors such as the social policies, innovation just to mention but a few, would flourish if the state had more autonomy. However, a greater portion of the population believes that the idea is a wrong move. Their believes ...

Income inequality and tramadol addiction

According to Wilkinson & Pickett (2010), there is a correlation between income inequality and drug abuse. They argued that the income inequality in a particular country is a big threat to the health of the society more than any other factor. They proved that social problems and health issues are highly caused by the income inequality of the particular area. Current studies are engaged in to determine the nature of the relationship between income inequality and social and health problems, and to investigate whether income inequality is the cause of such problems. Youth from low-income families face economic challenges such as inadequate food, ...

Institutions Question 1 According to Joan Scott, gender is defined as “a constitutive element of social relationships based on perceived differences between the sexes and a primary way of signifying relationships of power.” On the other hand, Goffman claims that, “If gender be defined as the culturally established correlates of sex (whether in consequence of biology or learning), then gender display refers to conventionalized portrayals of these correlates. “In Scott context, biology is excluded the explanation of gender and the perception of individuals put into consideration. One is perceived a woman when she tends to behave and speak in an ...

Computers have programs that work perfectly beyond human understanding. This is evident in computer’s ability of defeating humanity in undertaking some activities. For example, Chess is a game that requires intelligence and understanding of people’s minds. The ability of computers to overpower world chess champion is an indicator that computers are often very intelligent. Computers can give answers to anything as long as they receive essential command through the programs. Research shows that digital computers understand few languages but they can hardly think. Searle argues that the best way to test a theory of mind is through imagining the ...

It’s Application to Corporate Governance in the 21st Century.

Corporate governance has been defined differently by various authors. According to Turbull (1997, p.1), “corporate governance describes all the influences that govern the institutional processes, including those for controlling and regulators, involved in the production and sale of goods and services”. As such, this definition indicates that corporate governance encompasses all types of firms (Donaldson, & Preston, 1995). Another school of thought has suggested that the system to govern companies, which entails controlling and directing the activities of those companies, is what constitutes corporate governance (Cohen, 1995). In essence, this system includes the market mechanisms, as well as regulatory frameworks ...

According to Preston (2007), ethics are the actual values and rules of conduct by which human beings live. Ethics are concerned with decisions and actions. That is; if an individual acts in a way which is consistent with human beliefs; either drawn from a secular point of view or from a moral authority, then it will be characterized as ethical. Ethics is not an individual aspect; the ethics of one’s actions and decisions is defined societally. On the other hand, morals are values which individual attribute to a system of beliefs; often religious but could also include political. These values obtain their ...

Wars around the world can be traced back to a form of religion or religious expressions of difference. As the evolution of mankind has progressed, so too have the unique interpretations of religious elements that each population carries into the world. This study will produce evidence that supports the argument that each military engagement across the face of international civilization has been at the core, a result of religious ideals and the manner in which these philosophical differences are expressed. Wilson (16) argues that the human race needs a means to explain and control the unexpected, which in turn creates religion. ...

1.0 Pivotal response therapy (PRT) Pivotal response therapy/treatment/training is one of the early behavioral intervention techniques developed for management of autism. This techniques is built on the premise that autism interferes with “pivotal behaviors” that ultimately underlie other behaviors are deficient in autistic children. The pivotal behaviors/areas are initiating activities, motivation, self-management, feelings and responding to multiple/complicated cues (signals). PRT therefore aims at increasing pivotal behaviors, particularly motivation, which would in turn enhance generalization. The autistic child chooses the activity and is rewarded (positive reinforcement) for every correct responses or attempt. As such, PRT trains the child to ...

Description of Injury and Treatment Plan

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is an important ligament of the knee in regards to stabilization (Friedberg, 2013). The ACL originates from the later femoral condyle in the distal femur; it traverses in an antero-medial direction to insert onto the antero-medial part of the tibia, in between the condyles. (Friedberg, 2013) The function of the ACL is to resist anterior movement and medial rotation of the tibia in relation to the femur (Markolf, Mensch, & Amstutz, 1976). A Non-contact mechanism of injury involves a running or jumping athlete with a sudden change in direction. A contact mechanism ...

Mechanics of Prevention and Rehabilitation

The function of the ACL is to resist anterior movement and medial rotation of the tibia in relation to the femur (Markolf, Mensch, & Amstutz, 1976). It is the most common injury of the knee and is frequently injured in non-contact; high impact sports injuries such as, skiers, gymnasts, football, and soccer players, where there is quick movement, and changing of position of the feet. Treatment of ACL tears may require surgery or may be treated conservatively in the case ...

It is a testament to the power of propaganda that the events of March 5, 1770 were widely accepted as a massacre which remained the very symbol of British tyranny for 200 years. The skillful manipulation of facts is a hallmark of propaganda, and the men who exploited the circumstances surrounding the killing of five Americans created an atrocity that has resonated throughout American history down to the present day. As the hotbed of revolutionary fervor in the colonies, Boston was perhaps the only place where such propaganda could have taken hold; the only city from which it could have spread so ...

Historical and Organizational Background of Shell

Shell was started in 1833 by Marcus Samuel who was a shopkeeper who sold antiques and later sold shells (van Zanden et al. 2007). It was when he passed away and his sons took over the business that the sons discovered a potential in the selling of oil. Although they struggled at first, a merger between the Shell Transport and Trading Company and the Royal Dutch Petroleum led to the formation of the Royal Dutch Shell Group, enabling these companies to compete with the leading oil company at the time, Standard Oil. By the end of the 1920s, Shell would become the ...

Introduction

In the contemporary world, much has been said about bigger corporations getting in the global scene thereby overshadowing any news about a retail business attempting to tap opportunities in the same. However, even though there have been a number of cases, many retailers do not wish to venture into foreign markets. Segal-Horn and Faulkner (2010) explain this situation by claiming that the global market is characterized by volatility. Therefore, it becomes utterly difficult for businesses in the retailing sector to see the silver lining. However, irrespective of the struggling nature of the economy, as well as consumers in the United States ...

The decision that was made for engagement in a war between Korea and Vietnam can be attributed to Domino Theory. This was found in the doctrine of Truman Doctrine, which was found in MacNamara’s theory, often referred to as Domino Theory. It has been argued that, Americans were the losers, in Vietnamese war. Given the way the direction the war took, this statement could be true. On the other hand, one wonders if a large country like the US could lose such a fight. These are two opposing arguments that have been maintained by historians. In all these, the Americans did ...

Business Ethics

Ethics and Morality

At the onset, one could deduce that ethics and morality share similarities in terms of conforming to a stipulated standard of behavior based on the principle of right and wrong. Apparently, there are distinguishing features between ethics and morality in terms of their theoretical or conceptual framework. As disclosed, “ethics refer to the series of rules provided to an individual by an external source. e.g. their profession. On the other hand, morals refer to an individual’s own principles regarding right and wrong” (Ethics vs Morals, n.d., par. 1). Likewise, ethics are external rules, standards, guidelines prescribed ...

The reasoning that America has been that if both countries, Korea and Vietman, became communists, it would be risky for neighboring nations. The Americans did not concede to accept a rule of conciliation which had made way for Hitler to reinforce Germany to engage in World War II. In both Korea and Vietnam, America struggled to ensure that ...

Many studies on police behavior in America have been undertaken in America. Findings have indicated that there many factors such as race, gender, education, and ranking of the police officer influence the attitude or behavior of the police officers. The motive for conducting studies on police behavior was fueled by the stagnated and changing behavior among law enforcement officers. As such, the police department represents an arm of the American government charged with the authority and powers to use coercive force on troublesome people within the community (Morton, 2010). Equally, the USA PATRIOTIC Act of 2001 increased their powers ...
