An epileptic seizure is a sudden surge of electrical activity in the brain and is caused by an abnormal and excessive electrical discharge of a group of neurons within the brain. “Epilepsy is the condition of recurrent spontaneous seizures arising from abnormal electrical activity in the brain.” (Stafstorm & Rho 2014) Anyone can experience a seizure under the right conditions while epilepsy suggests an enduring variation of brain function that facilitates seizure reoccurrence. At a basic level…
up the country, Mister Lawson, where you went, And you're cursing all the business in a bitter discontent; Well, we grieve to disappoint you, and it makes us sad to hear That it wasn't cool and shady - and there wasn't plenty beer, And the loony bullock snorted when you first came into view; Well, you know it's not so often that he sees a swell like you; And the roads were hot and dusty, and the plains were burnt and brown, And no doubt you're better suited drinking lemon squash in town.”…
In 1451, a goldsmith from Mainz, Germany, named Johann Gutenberg, came up with a novel way to print material much more efficiently and quickly than the scribes who were common at the time. His new method, called the printing press, featured movable type and served as the precursor to the mammoth presses used to print millions of newspapers, magazines, and books. His new methods made books more widely available throughout Europe, and they began to be published in the vernacular. This also…
In psychology, ownership is the feeling that something is yours. People can feel ownership about a variety of things, material and immaterial in nature. Is there a way organizations can benefit from higher employee engagement, increased financial performance and lower turnover, by increasing feelings of ownership? In mid 1970s, the USA carried out the Employee Stock Ownership Plans. The thought behind this project was that if employees held some shares of the company, it would enhance their…
2.1. The left ventricle and interventricular septum The heart has two inferior chambers, called the right and left ventricles, respectively. These chambers are the “pumps” that expel blood into the blood vessels and keeps it flowing through the body (Rizzo, 2016). The left ventricle is a cavity that has thick muscular walls that contains the papillary muscles as well as the chordae tendinae that attaches the atrio-ventricular valve leaflets to the papillary muscles (Leeson, Augustine,…
STRATEGIC PLAN The strategic plan below (Table 1.2) succinctly explains the problems that may arise as well as the strategies my team will put in place to resolve them. For instance, concerning patient satisfaction and utilisation of troponin assays, the likely issue will be affordability of the test.

What is it to feel pain? How would one elucidate even an iota of the purest forms of fear: the oozing infection that hides in the anticipation, experience and remembrance of pain? I cannot use the narrow confinements of linguistic tools to fully portray it, unless in the crudest of manners. Even such fundamental tools are incapable of creating an adequate point of reference. It simply lacks the nutrients to effectively satiate the imagination enough to analogues to reality. This is my story.…
NGOS/Charities When it comes to NGOS, charities and organizations everything appears really black and white. I feel that media really portrays it as that way. So I decided to put it in color and bring out some facts by providing certain certain incidents that take place in these groups. I feel that it is very important to do research before donating. In your mind you may think this money is going to individuals in need but in reality these groups may be using it for their own benefit. It is…
management is a complex activity which includes pre and post disaster activities. Pre disaster activities are those of mitigation and preparedness, post disaster activities are those of response and recovery (Clary 1985; Prater & Lindell 2000; Haddow, Bullock and Coppola et al., 2008). Taken together these activities are referred, by emergency management practitioners and scholars, as (a four phases) the comprehensive emergency management cycle which comprises four phases (mitigation…
