Culture-specific syndromes

Fragile X is a syndrome that I had little to no knowledge about before the presentation that Denise Devine gave us. From the presentation, I learned an array of information that will be helpful in my future. Denise touched upon a few topics that are important when understanding Fragile X syndrome. Fragile X the most common forms of mental impairment and is an inherited syndrome that is one of the leading developmental disabilities. One significant fact that is surprising is that Fragile X became…

Holism is approaching a single subject in several different ways (Welsch 15). These four subfields all have their own distinct approaches. This is why anthropology is divided into multiple subfields, so that anthropologists can study further in specific subfields and result in more accurate information. Each subfield focuses on a different type of research interest and usually uses different research techniques. Alfred Kroeber, a student of Franz Boas, viewed the subfields in anthropology as a…

appreciate. The complete tender point exam was performed and he is positive in 12 of the 18 classic tender points. He also has some induration over the right trapezius tender point that is more classic for the trigger points of a myofascial pain syndrome than the tender point of fibromyalgia. Other interesting historical…

and temperament. Breed specific legislation, or breed banning is an ordinance passed by local government basically banning a specific breed or group of breeds of dogs that are considered dangerous. I strongly believe that banning specific dog breeds is not an effective way for keeping the public safe from dog bites or attacks. The ban does not notice differences in each dog 's temperament, or behavior displayed by individual dogs, but instead groups all dogs of specific breeds as dangerous.…

When the Devia family in California adopted Rocco, an American Pitbull Terrier, they had no idea what they were in for. Since the adoption, both Carol and Peter Devia were wrongfully terminated from their stable jobs at a newspaper delivery company. Unfortunately for the couple and their two children, this meant missing rent payments on their apartment and eventually being evicted. While finding a new living space might be easy for most families, owning an American Pitbull Terrier makes things…

When people hear the word “pit bull” they immediately think of a dangerous and very vicious dog, responsible for attacks on people and other dogs. But should they really be considered dangerous? The description of a pit bull (American Staffordshire Terrier) according to the American Kennel Club (AKC) says, “should give the impression of great strength for his size, a well put-together dog, muscular, but agile and graceful, keenly alive to his surroundings. He should be stocky but not long-legged…

Intervention strategies will target the receptive and expressive areas of communication in conjunction with each other to maximize the student’s success in therapy. Since the student presents with both reading and writing difficulty, the intervention strategies for the receptive and expressive areas will equip the student with writing readiness skills. Reading enhances writing skills therefore teaching language, reading, and writing as a whole process is conducive to effective learning (Silvers,…

Nich Zlevor Case Analysis: Schlippenfall Thesis: Schlippenfall will not be able to recover on a claim against Tee for his injuries. Rule Section: The first rule applicable to this potential case is the Illinois Dog-Bite statue, officially referred to as Ill. Rev. Stat. ch. 8, para 366 (1973). This statute states the owner of a dog attacking or injuring a person(s) is liable for damages so long as [1] the injury is caused by a dog owned by the defendant, [2] there is a lack of provocation,…

Heat of Combustion of Magnesium Hypothesis: Hess’s law states that “the enthalpy change for the conversion of reactants to products is the same whether the conversion occurs in one step or several steps” (DiGiuseppe et al,2012,p.314 ). A series of two experiments will perform in this lab in order to find ΔH1 and ΔH2 . In addition, ΔH3 will be obtained by reference. It is predicted that the combustion of magnesium will have a negative enthalpy, since combustion is an exothermic reaction. Also…

PITBULLS Pitbulls, everyone's heard of them, right? The big block headed, stumpy, mean dog that you should avoid any chance you get, yeah, them. How much do you really know about them? What makes them so mean and why do you need to avoid them? Well, believe it or not, they’re actually not all mean and if you're given the chance you really shouldn't avoid them. What is a pitbull?
