Ex-situ conservation

According to Piaget’s theory in child development, conservation is the understanding that something stays the same in quantity even though its appearance changes. To be more technical, conservation is the ability to understand that redistributing material does not affect its mass, number, volume or length. In cognitive psychology, the principle that properties of substance such as weight and mass remain the same (are conserved) when superficial characteristics such as their shapes or arrangement…

and lack the sagacity required for the tough job. Supporters of captive breeding, along with zoos, proclaim that the released animals are actually acclimating well and that zoos have saved certain animals from extinction (“Captive Breeding” 69). Even though captive breeding is actually a failing system, in some cases it has worked. Native in Africa, Bongos are a threatened forest antelope that have been reintroduced back into its natural habitat with help of the AZA Bongo Species Survival Plan.…

over $43 million dollars, of which 42.9% came from government grants with the rest resulting from contributions and fundraising events (Charity Navigator 10/28/2015). Yearly expenditures for 2014 ($43.5 million dollars) were spent primarily on conservation program expenses: nearly $39 million dollars spent to run programs, $3.3 million for fundraising events, and about $1.6 million for administrative expenses (Charity Navigator 10/28/2015). According to TU’s IRS Form 990 filed in 2014, the…

A quote to highlight the misuse of medical ethics is “TeLinde disagreed— he believed carcinoma in situ was simply an early stage of invasive carcinoma that, if left untreated, eventually became deadly. So he treated it aggressively, often removing the cervix, uterus, and most of the vagina” (Skloot 165). This was unethical because there was no proven…

which has been called an anti-L.G.B.T. extremist group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.” He further clarified this by explaining that “there are only two types of therapies for minors that are notable and that are controversial at present. One is ex-gay conversion therapy and the other is transgender hormone therapy, and I hardly believe that Tony Perkins was putting a plank in the Republican Party platform endorsing the rights of parents to provide their children with transgender hormone…

All animals used in this experiment were purchased from Harlan Sprague Dawley, Inc. (Indianapolis, IN, USA). The animal procedures are approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee of East Tennessee State University, as well as complied with the NIH Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. These animals were housed on a 12:12 h light cycle (lights on at 07:00 a.m.). Water and food were provided ad libitum. Rats were randomly assigned to different experimental groups after living an…

Most gynecologic oncologists use the FIGO (International Federation of Gynecologists and Obstetricians) classification. The disease is divided into five stages, with further divisions in each stage. A carcinoma in situ is Stage 0. In Stage I, the cancer is confined to the cervix. When the disease spreads beyond the cervix but not to the pelvic sidewall, or involves the vagina but not the lower third, this is considered Stage II. Stage III carcinoma spreads to the…

CHAPTER 2.LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1. Definition The cervix is the lower part of the uterus (womb). It is sometimes called the uterine cervix. It connects the body of uterus to the vagina. The part of the cervix inside the cervix canal is called endocervix. The part on the outside is called the ectocervix. Most cervical cancers start where these two parts meet. There are two main types, squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Occasionally, mixed carcinomas,…

The Leonardo Dicaprio Foundation (LDF) was founded in 1998. The mission of the Dicaprio Foundation is to “protect the world’s last wild places ”. They do so through six avenues: Wildland Conservation, Oceans Conservation, Climate Change, Indigenous Rights, Transforming California, and Innovative Solutions. Through fundraising, LDF has successfully been able to make grants and support other projects with their same mission in mind worldwide. Through Leonardo’s personal social media, his…
