The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) defines human pain as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage (Loeser, 2008). It is a complex sensory experience that can even be modifiable without the use of a physical harm. While in contrast, there isn’t an animal-based definition of animal pain. A commonly used definition for animals is ‘ an aversive sensory experience caused by actual…

This is in response to the recent survey done at College Community Hospital (CCH) in which staff’s main cause of dissatisfaction concern was the slow turn-around of lab test. As an assistant administrator to CCH, I am proposing to find solution to this problem. A performance improvement (PI) project is initiated in order to address this problem. Shaw and Carter (2015) have stated that “the overarching reason for change in healthcare organizations today is the need to improve the quality of…

Human experimentation is nothing new to the human race. Thousands of years ago the Indians and Mayans used such practices to produce drugs that healed the sick. Many people believe that these experiments should be banned because they are unethical; however, in reality, such practices have helped more than harmed people. In order to fully appreciate the medical advancements made through human experimentation, people need to take into consideration the risks and lines that had to be crossed. Human…

experimentation, we are putting them through suffering and death. Even if an animal is not suffering or dying from experiments we conduct they still are being taken away from their lives out in the wild where they should be. There are many good reasons why we should stop experimenting. As I already mentioned its unethical meaning its not morally correct. When we conduct experiments, we are performing speciesism which involves assigning different values, rights, or special consideration to…

The purpose of my experiment is to examine the amount of BPA levels in food packaging for infants. I believe that the BPA levels in baby food varies considering food packaging size, texture, material, and color. To help me during my experimental process I have found several articles,that explain each concept of my experiment; also providing background information. Kubwabo, C., Kosarac, I., Stewart, B., Gauthier, B. R., Lalonde, K., & Lalonde, P. J. (2009). Migration of bisphenol A from plastic…

Question #1 Word Count: 245 P1: The Critical lure in Experiment 1 is a word that was related to the studied words but wasn’t actually present in the original list. Studied words that were not omitted were recalled with a 75% confidence level. Unrelated lures stuck out like a sore thumb at (80%), and weakly related lures showed little significant, but critical lures were recalled with false confidence of (58%). This data demonstrates that we falsely remember things related in subject matter but…

Introduction This practical consisted of using a microscope on two different types of samples, human hair and Lily pollen to acquire the basics of using a microscope. Three different types of objective lenses were used (4x, 10X and 40X). Furthermore it gave an insight to particulate matter in the air. Q1. Table 1 below shows the diameter of a human hair under previous stated objective lenses Standard deviation is used in this case to quantify the amount dispersal or variation in the results.…

past similar research experiments, as well as explain the concept of my project and why the results are important in everyday life. You are about to eat a piece of candy that slips out of your hand and falls onto the floor. If you are the kind of person who trusts “the five-second rule,” you would pick it up and eat it. On the other hand, if you think it is instantly contaminated after it touches the ground, you would throw it immediately in the trash. Previous experiments would test “the…

After testing the D. magna with alcohol, the results showed a negative effect on the D. magna. After recording the normal heart rate in beats per minute (bpm) before the experiment, alcohol was applied to four different D. magna for each percentage of alcohol. The three concentrations of alcohol used were 5%, 10%, and 20%. Once the differences in heart rate were recorded for each of the D. magna, the averages of the four differences in heart rate for each concentration of alcohol were calculated…

of feelings and emotions just as we humans do. They experience pain, pleasure, agitation, and even sadness.Just as we suffer, as do they. During experiments, mothers are breed repeatedly and then separated from the young. When pain is evident, the same process that takes place in our bodies, happens in theirs as well. For the duration of the experiment, test subjects are required to be put under an anesthetic. Reports show that at least 10 percent of animals tested on do not receive painkillers…
