As a result stability in the community is reduced and they become more susceptible to disasters, both natural and man-made, and disease. An example of this can be found by looking through research done by Schwarz (2008) in distributing Hepatitis B vaccines. In the city there are funds set aside for free vaccines to be distributed to the homeless. However past attempts to distribute this vaccine to the population resulted in a…

The term Holocaust refers to Nazi Germany’s systematic murder of European Jews. In the 1850s, European Jews were facing a new form of anti-Jewish prejudice. This hostility and discrimination of Jews came to be known as anti-Semitism. The huge amounts of suffering that took place after the Great Depression and World War I caused several people to search for someone to blame. The theory of anti-Semitism helped many Germans to find the pride they had lost before. Adolf Hitler was a key figure in…

Saturated fats (SFA), commonly found in animal fats that we consume, has been shown to increase one’s low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol by inhibiting LDL receptor activity need for LDL uptake by cell (increasing in blood LDL) and increasing LDL production. This increase in LDL causes it to deposit in the walls of arteries forming plaques; therefore, increasing risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). By lowering the consumption of SFA, it decreases one’s risk of a cardiac event by…

individual lacks a certain clotting factor which prevents bleeding as a result of injury. In order of rarity from most to least, it features type A, B and C hemophilia and various severity levels. Type A hemophilia consists of 90% of cases, in which the individual lacks clotting factor VIII and 70% of patients have a severe level of hemophilia. Type B hemophilia is far less common, in which the person lacks clotting factor IX. (Crosta, P. 2013) Type C hemophilia is when the patient lacks…

cases in 2012” (ProCon.org). Trials in which the pancreas of dogs were removed were responsible for the discovery of insulin, which is important for the lives of diabetics (ProCon.org). Experimentation on chimpanzees is also responsible for a hepatitis B vaccine, and researchers are hopeful that similar experiments on chimps can yield a vaccine for hepatitis C (ProCon.org). Thalidomide, used for the treatment and prevention of a skin disease caused by leprosy, caused birth defects and death…

The perpetrators should be blamed for the Holocaust. I feel this because they were the ones who committed the crimes. If they really think it was not right by killing the jews, they shouldn't have committed the crimes. Not only that they killed the jews, but they also did terrible things in the death camps where they forced them to do all sort of unusual work such as going through a dead body to find any hidden jewels. Also the perpetrators made at least 100 jews to go to a room where they had…

concentration camp used in the final solution, a large genocide of almost all jews, gypsies, and disabled in Germany and some surrounding countries.

There was one main gas chamber in Auschwitz. There were two smaller gas chambers in Auschwitz. Inmates at Auschwitz were also exposed to slave labor. The main gate at Auschwitz was inscribed…

About 2 billion people have evidence of past or present infection of HBV, and 248 million of these are chronic carriers of HBV in worldwide. Most of the people currently living with HBV infection are persons that were born before hepatitis B vaccination. The Prevalence of HBV in Iran is around 2% in general populations except Sistan and Baluchestan (3.38%-5%) and Golestan (5%-7%) Provinces that is higher than other parts of Iran. It seems that with the measures of the Ministry of Health,…
