honey. Nosema affects the digestive system of the bee and is spread through the fecal matter. The protozoan lives in the midgut of the bee and it lives off of the honey and pollen that the bee eats. Nosema affects many types of insects including grasshoppers, moths and ants. This disease cannot be spread between the species though. The strain that affects bees can only be passed though other bees. This has big implications for commercial bee farmers. They have many hives in close proximity when…

Each human being is determined by heredity and environment and "subject to the social and economic forces in the family, the class, and the milieu into which that person is born" (Abrams 153).…

Over the past few decades, food availability in Uganda shows increasing trends. During 2009-13, average protein intake was 51 gram/person/day that is considerably high than previous years. Supply of protein from animal sources is still low, only 12 gram/person/day, and almost consistent over the period of time. The plausible reason is low production of meat sources, e.g., cattle, chicken. Though Uganda produces a lot of fish but intended for export which is also needed to import cereals from…

As stated in the article, “The Color of Family Ties” by Naomi Gerstel and Natalia Sarkisian, “Commentators often emphasize the disorganization and dysfunction of Black and Latino/a family life. They suggest that if we ‘fix’ family values in minority communities and get them to form married- couple households, all their problems would be solved” (51). In other words,…
