Mirandola. Both introduced humanism to the Renaissance and were influenced by the late medieval writer and poet Dante Alighieri. Dante was best known for writing “The Divine Comedy”, which is a trilogy of poems that take you on a journey through the three layers of the afterlife:…

This week in dynamics of human development we met with our groups for the remander of our class and did some group activities, watched the PBS film of Life’s Greatest Miracle, read Issue #2 in the Taking Sides book, and read chapter 3 in our Development of Children and Adolescents textbook. Issue #2 in Taking Sides was Does Maternal Employment Have Negative Effects on Children’s Development. Bascially it is stating that if a parent is in the workplace or at home, which side would end up in…

PUR Packets are used to filter water for people who do not have access to clean drinking water. They work by recreating water power plants in a smaller scale, this has both positive and negative impacts on the four compass points. This report will explain how the PUR Packet is a realistic and possibly good solution to our world’s water problem. According to Dr. Greg Allgood PUR Packet turns contaminated water into safe drinking water. It does this by going through a similar process to…

Introduction The human body is populated by a large aggregate of microbes on the skin as well as many mucosal surfaces. They are composed of mainly bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. These commensal microorganisms live in the human body in symbiosis. Microbiota play a functional role in the health and disease of an individual. Roughly there are around 1012 bacteria found on the skin, primarily staphylococci and corynebacteria, and 1010 found in the mouth, primarily, streptococci, lactobacilli.1 But…

Secretory Immunoglobulin A or IgA is found in high levels in colostrum. Secretory IgA “guards against invading germs by forming a protective layer on the mucous membranes in your baby 's intestines, nose, and throat” (“How Breastfeeding”). A few days after the baby is born, the colostrum turns into mature breast milk that will start to come into the breasts. The difference between…

The overall length of the short film affects its structure, characterisation, plot and especially story. ‘The longer a short film lasts, the more the audience wants it to be a story. They want it to mean something.’ (Cowgill (2005 :9)). This means that shorter films, up to 5 minutes, are usually a comedy sketch with a punch line, such as in Knob, or a horror with a twist, like Selfie From Hell. The reveal or surprising ending seems to be common in the under 5 minute short, as the film has little…

The noisy tools, scary instruments, and the thought of the dentist drilling into the teeth doesn’t make it any better. Dental anxiety and phobia are very common today; it is estimated that about 9-15 percent of Americans fear the dentist. Regardless of the fear and anxiety…

Cancer refers to several diseases that the involve uncontrolled growth of mutated cells in the body. Normally, cells grow and divide based on signals and the body’s needs, and new cells replace old or damaged cells. However, cancer is able to develop when cell signaling is interrupted. The old cells stop dying and instead form new abnormal cells, possibly resulting in a tumor. Cancerous cells are malignant, which means they can invade nearby tissue, and can potentially metastasize and spread to…

The President is one of the most powerful political and world leaders in the world, but despite this, is also human. Because the President is only human, he or she requires medical treatment just…

can divide and renew itself, where embryonic stem cells can not. Another difference between these two cells is that embryonic stem cells are pluripotent and adults stem cells are not. Pluripotent means that these cells are derived from the three germ layers and all tissues and organs are developed from these cells, which means they have the capacity to turn into any cell type in the entire body (What are Embryonic Stem cells?). Embryonic cells are borrowed from embryos that have been developed…
