The revolutionaries killed the counter revolutionaries with the guillotine, about 35,000-40,000 people were murdered this way. The Reign of Terror was not…

was estimated to have resulted in ten thousand birth defects and thousands of fetal deaths throughout the world, and, before it was released, it was tested on rats, mice, rabbits, dogs, hamsters, primates, cats, armadillos, guinea pigs, swine, and ferrets, all of which, in most cases, were absolutely fine (8). Among the arguments against unreliability is the fact that animal testing does show the side effects, although it may often minimally (9). However, what use is minimally shown effects if…

INTRODUCTION The human population on Earth has been growing at an alarming rate bringing with it an ever growing need for food, energy and land use, amongst many others. At the same time, the list of animal species recorded as being extinct or on the verge of being extinct gets longer and longer. Is this phenomenon coincidence or are these two occurrences directly link to each other? This research task aims to investigate if there is reliable proof that human population growth and species…

Understanding the anatomical map of structures such as the phrenic nerve is vital for medical treatments. G.S. Muller Botha mapped the phrenic nerve and described her findings in The Anatomy of the Phrenic Nerve Termination and the Motor Innervation of the Diaphragm. Sleep apnea is a common disorder caused by under stimulation of the diaphragm from the phrenic nerve, O. Oldenburg and team described alternative treatments for the apnea in Effects of unilateral phrenic nerve stimulation on tidal…

Wolves had been missing in Yellowstone National Park for more than 70 years. As a result, the ecosystem of the Park had completely changed. Without any predator that threatened them, the number of deer had grown overreact, destroying vegetation and forcing other species to look elsewhere in order to survive. In 1995 they decided to reintroduce a small number of wolves. Only with their presence, the wolves managed to recover the entire ecosystem: from bears, foxes, eagles, otters, up to all kinds…

The Role of Human Resources Human resource management is a discipline originally created to understand and master the relationship between worker and organization. Inspired by the studies of issues with soldiers during the First World War, human relations evolved quickly into a science studying industrial and organizational psychology (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_resource_management), forming the precursor to human resource management, as we know it today. This science has evolved into…

made me question everything we have learned as zookeepers/animal lovers, honestly. I started thinking about how we breed animals, how we house them, and how we feed and clean them. The biggest change I have made personally is to not clean the entire ferret cage in one day. Since it is 4 stories, I now clean 2 stories at a time. I noticed that their behavior towards the clean section is different and they spend less time in it compared to the section that I did not clean. This makes me wonder how…

Humor can level an uneven playing field, disarm an opposing argument, expose a jarring fallacy in the logic of an opponent. “A Letter to the Warner Brothers, by Groucho Marx, and “American Autumn”, by Mark Steyn, both demonstrate the wide ranging and potent effect highly developed satire can lend a text in achieving its purpose and reaching its audience. However, when you go beyond the surface value, there is an incredible…

the student 's individual interests within the food web and smaller groups or individuals could provide informal posters about their topics. Deeper hands-on learning could come from a field-trip with a naturalist to the prairie dog and black-footed-ferret habitat or to dairy farm to see how waste from the cows is broken down by microbes. The keys being the student 's interests and hands-on learning, the progressive philosophy in action. They are learning metacognition, taking charge of their…
