THE AFRICAN PRESENCE IN SOUTHEAST ASIAN CIVILIZATION In Godfrey Higgins' original work Anaclypsis, he relates an account of Herodotus giving a record of his goes to the grounds of the Blacks: "And upon his arrival to Greece they assembled around and asked, "Inform us regarding this awesome Land of the blacks called Ethiopia." And Herodotus said, "There are two extraordinary Ethiopian countries, one in Sind (India) and the other in Egypt". Herodotus' record of the immense African developments…

Every human inherits many different hereditary genetics from the generations before them. A genotype refers to all the genes that a person has inherited these in the genetics that determine many inherited physical factors such as athletic abilities or eye and hair color. Likewise, the same genetic makeup also predisposes a person to inherit risk factors involving health such as cancer, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease. Yet, unlike visual genetic factors, health related factors are not as easy…

Discussion: There is a statistically significant positive relationship between the height of the milkweed plant and its number of seedpods. This contradicts the trade-off hypothesis between plant height and the number of seeds produced. The milkweeds may be devoting more resources towards growth earlier in the growing season, and later devoting more resources towards reproduction, which would imply that there is indeed a certain resource allocation strategy that the plants are…

A gene is the fundamental unit of heredity. Genes determine the genotype and phenotype of living entities. Compared to the past, genetic research has advanced a great deal. For many centuries, it was believed that God had created the human species; however, due to the researches and experiments done by scientists like Hippocrates, Aristotle, Charles Darwin, Gregor Mendel… it is now accepted that the true force behind evolution, is the adaptation of the genetic code to the environment. As the…

Gattaca is a science fiction film about the idea of science and technology in the late 20th century, that created an imaginary and futuristic society based on genetic engineering. Gattaca features the actors, Ethan Hawke (Vincent Anton Freeman), Jude Law (Jerome Eugene Morrow), Uma Thurman (Irene Cassini), and Loren Dean (Anton Freeman), to relay the story of a young boy who was conceived outside the eugenics program, and struggles to overcome genetic discrimination and fulfill his dream of…

Gaucher disease is a genetic disorder in which glucocerebroside (a sphingolipid, also known as glucosylceramide) accumulates in cells and certain organs. Sphingolipids constitute a diverse array of lipids in which fatty acids are linked through amide bonds to a long-chain base, structurally they form the building blocks of eukaryotic membranes. Gaucher disease occurs when a enzyme is deficient. When the enzyme is defective, glucocerebroside accumulates, particularly in white blood cells and…

Cognitive development is the formation of a thinking process, it includes particularly identification, recall, solve difficulties, problems, and to make decisions from childhood and adulthood (Ghazi, Khan, Shahzada, & Ullah, 2014). Two psychologist, Piaget and Vygotsky, had the most influence on how children learn. Both of them viewed knowledge as something children construct based off of their own experiences. However, they both had totally different approaches and different viewpoints that…

2. The element being described is Sodium its symbol is Na it has an atomic mass of 22.989769. It has an atomic number of 11. This element has 11 protons, 11 protons, and about 11 neutrons. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutron have a neutral charge. Electron shells are the outer parts of an atom containing the electrons. Valence electrons are electrons in the outermost shell. Valence electrons tell us whether an atom shares, transfers or receives electrons…

Antisocial personality Disorder (ASPD) is the most reliable personality disorder in terms of criteria. People with this disorder tend to antagonize, manipulate or treat others harshly or with callous indifference. They show no guilt or remorse for their behavior. (Mayo Clinic 2017). There are a very high rate of criminals diagnosed and undiagnosed in prisons. Substance abuse such as alcohol and drugs are used at a proportionally high rate among those with ASPD. Overall individuals with ASPD are…

Childhood obesity is defined as being at or above the 95th percentile on the 2000 body mass index for age and gender growth charts of the Center for Disease Control (CDC). There is an increase in childhood and adolescent obesity in the United States of America and worldwide as well. The incidence of childhood obesity has more than doubled in children 2-5 years of age and 12-19 years of age and more than tripled in children 6-11 years of age (Ogden et al., 2002). According to the International…
