further study. According to Mina, Hyoungjune, Mihye, Hyun, Byung-Chan, Yoon-Myoung and Jeong-Ki (2007:279), there was an increased risk of lymphocytic leukaemia among children with higher levels of exposure to radio frequency radiation from Amplitude modulation (AM) radio broadcasting; than among children with lower levels of exposure. Soviet investigators have also indicated that long-term radio frequency exposure may result in hypotension and bradycardia or tachycardia (Jauchem: 1997: 9-21).…
executive functions, and ability to self regulate. Brown’s (2005) model illustrates six clusters of impairments with executive functions; organisation, focusing attention, regulating alertness, managing emotions, use of working memory and emotional modulation. Thus, leading to issues with emotional regulation, motivation and time management; due to lack of memory and planning ability. Also, neurobiological theories suggest dysfunction in the right inferior prefrontal cortex of those with ADHD;…
Counseling is a rewarding career path to choose. Counseling allows for an understanding of human behavior, emotions, and thinking. It is a great opportunity for individuals to discover support in a safe, nurturing environment. This journey is an on-going as the knowledge to gain is always changing. I address the numerous reasons I am seeking this counseling degree, characteristics of a counselor, application of characteristics in the field, transferable skills, and overall goals in the…
Introduction Background: Atropine as an Alkaloid compound has been in use for ages since the times of the Roman Empire as it was used for local anesthesia. The compound was derived from common organic compounds like Tropane alkaloid that is synthesized by most solanacea family and also from berries of the plant Atropa belladonna. Comprehensive research on the compound Atropine was first carried out by German chemist Friedlueb Ferdinad Runge between 1795-1867, later German based pharmacist…
There are many studies which suggest that cortical connection mostly occurs through feedback connections. However, feedback connections are not clearly understood. In these research papers, the experimenters focus on the role of feedback in the visual cortex. Although research has been done on this topic, it is difficult to study cortical feedback signals. I will use research by researchers Nassi, Lomber & Born (2013) for the first article. For the second article I will use the work of Bastos,…
Gene doping is defined in the Oxford Dictionary as “the transfer of genes or genetically modified cells into an individual as a potential method for illicitly enhancing athletic performance.” It is is a relatively new method of modifying the human genome for the purpose of increasing athletic performance. Gene doping can be traced back to research presented in the late 1990’s concerning genetic modification of skeletal muscles (Barton-Davis et al., 1998; McPherron et al., 1997). The research…
in aged mice there by promoting excess of undesired inflammation on the tissue and organ systems. The role of NFkB inhibitors definitely influence aging as seen in experiments on mice skin, resulting in cell and tissue regeneration. The Genetic modulation, or drug based inhibition of NFkB has shown delay and reversal of age related changes in animal experiments.NF-κB recently has shown varied role in many central nervous system disorders specially were there is involvement of plasticity,…
1. A salivary gland is stimulated by its parasympathetic nerve. a) Describe the organization of the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a part of the peripheral nervous system that largely acts involuntarily. It consists of nerves in cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, exocrine and endocrine glands. The main visceral activities are temperature regulation, digestion, blood pressure and genitourinary function. The second main division of the…
Classical Requiem – The first transformation The symphonic requiem came into existence during the Classical period (1750-1830), an era which was also called the Age of Enlightenment. The time of Classicism differentiates from Baroque music in many aspects; new musical forms came up, a unique style of composing, the new modern orchestra got its shape and worked more detailed with its sound, as well as the evolution of the bel-canto singing technique. It is also significant to mention that…
Discovery refers to exploring something new for the first time or the rediscovery of something that was lost or forgotten. The nature of discovery is varied, and can be sudden and unexpected or may be a result of careful and deliberate planning stimulated by an individual’s curiosity or necessity. Discovery can be physical, mental, spiritual or emotional and ultimately may lead to new understandings and renewed perceptions of others and oneself. Robert Gray’s poems “Diptych” and “The Meatworks”…
