Case-control study

readiness were placed together, etc). Songs were also separated on account of sexualization. Songs that had similar values when talking about sexual partners were grouped together, or songs that sexually objectified someone were grouped together. In all cases they found that throughout the decades the amount of degrading increased in song lyrics, and that the sexualization grew over the time they studied. This pertains to the research project because it is important to know if and how…

the anatomy of her own body, let alone her boyfriend’s body, or how to protect herself from the risks. Her abstinence-only course at school taught her absolutely nothing about that and now she just does not know what to do. Shy is only one of many cases of people who do not know what they must know about sexual relationships. She was taught that abstinence is the only way to remain safe and therefore she never got that…

Attribution Theory. This theory helps explain why, though given examples and a directive, the students in the room still seem unmotivated to do their work. The students beliefs that they aren 't capable either because of cultural aspects, locus of control, control of their environment, lack of stability in their abilities, or their lack of self-efficacy are causing them not to perform as well as Mr. Esky believes they can. While all four of these aspects play a huge role in the Attribution…

enough. Unfortunately, these programs are still taught despite the mounting evidence showing that not only are they ineffective, but actively harmful to the student’s health. This evidence includes high rates of teen pregnancy and STDs across America, cases of misinformation…

Millions of women around the world today are being mutilated against their will. Many are only infants and do not survive the process due to infections and blood loss. This process of dehumanizing someone goes beyond what we as people have seen before. There are now laws that protect us from being mutilated but in some countries around the world there is no laws to protect those who do not live in the United States are some other place against mutilation. Imagine having your legs tied together…

Physical Development In terms of physical development, Nora is very advanced for her age. In order to fully assess her physical development in terms of gross motor skills, I asked Nora to join me in a game of simon says. I asked if she thought we could check off all of the tasks on my list, and she excitedly accepted the challenge. Nora is able to walk as well as an adult forwards and backwards. She can skip and gallop and also has great balance. When asked to stand and hop on one foot, she did…

more assumptions in modeling. Because of this, parametric system identification may result in unreliable prediction for complex systems where our understanding of the physics of the system is insufficient. Here we used a non-parametric approach as control of walking in humans is a complex task involving many degrees of freedom. We chose to perturb the system using visual perturbations as the input since the optic flow has a profound effect on the perception of speed. We measured muscle…

Catholic Church still served as a major voice for societal change. During that time, the church began to support natural methods of family planning. In doing so, the church unknowingly denied women access to the various available methods of birth control, leaving private sterilization as the only apparent option. Although the result was unintentional, the problem of sterilization continued to grow. Finally, in the early 1990s, Brazil’s government considered legislation that would reduce the…

the purpose of this essay, it will take the meaning of ‘Euro-American’ humans) unconsciously tend to use while analysing the place of nature in the anthropological and social theory. There is no novelty in the subject, however the ethnographic case studies attempt to first understand if non-western society could provide us with new models for re-thinking nature-culture opposition, secondly if it could affect our ontological and cosmological traditional categories, and lastly to verify if the…

To further exemplify the principles of either one of the aforementioned theories, it is essential to apply them to situations that could be fairly argued from either perspective. In the case of Christy O’Donnell, the moral question posed is whether or not it is moral for physicians to euthanize terminally ill patients who wish to end their life on their own terms. O’Donnell, a mother and lawyer, was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer after the discovery of a tumor approximately the size of a…
