System Shock 2

Septic shock is a medical condition as a result of severe infection and sepsis, though the microbe may be systemic or localized to a particular site. The pathogenesis of septic shock is multifactorial, although in most cases it is caused by gram positive bacteria, recent researches show that it can also be caused by gram negative bacteria, fungal and viral organisms. The traditional treatment is antimicrobial therapy, which is based on the appropriate choices of antibiotics. Since the pathogens…

Lucy McCormick, of ‘GET IN THE BACK OF THE VAN’ (GITBOTV), influenced my practice through her solo workshop and subsequent conversations because I found her style and attitude towards creative work particularly stimulating and we share an enthusiasm for pushing theatrical boundaries. Her approach demonstrates that, “the question of boundaries and extremes is always in the room” (McCormick, 2014). In our workshop on ‘The Importance of Being Ernest’ Lucy got one of my classmates, Laura, to chew…

Stanley Milgram had a goal to make a lasting impact in the field of psychology. So, he devised an experiment to understand why Nazi’s in the Holocaust followed Hitler. It is an understandable ambition because we must understand why Nazis followed and performed such horrific acts to be able to insure that it never happens again. Milgram’s experiment took place on February 1st, 1965 in an experiment titled Some Conditions of Obedience and Disobedience to Authority. His experiment is justified…

military courtroom where Privet Dawson and Downey are on trial for killing a colleague, Private Santiago. Milgram wrote "The Perils of Obedience ", which describes his experiment where there is a teacher and leaner. The teacher, the actual subject, shocks the learner for every wrong answer. The volts of electricity start at 15 increasing to 450. Kelman and Hamilton wrote "My Lai Massacre" which recounts the trial and thoughts of Lieutenant Calley, the only officer to go on trial for the My Lai…

and materials: Stanley Milgram used a machine( shock generator) to test his theories on obedience, the machine in ascending order had a row of buttons marked to the voltage 1 person would inflict upon another person.The shock generator went from 15 volts to 450 volts and a…

driver error on rollovers as well. Mitigating the electrical shock hazard would take extra training and knowledge on what you need to look for. Another way is to do risk management and apply it as it pertains to the being in the MRAP and driving it. The routes were assets for low hanging wires along the route and brief before convoys to avoid. To also make alternate routes to use and or even bypass to limit the hazard of electrical shock. The last mitigation is for the hazardous chemical…

horses. With high-tech wheels, parts that functioned as springs, shock absorbers, and even a device used to stop it from rolling over the chariot was truly an extraordinary vehicle. Some notable features include the joint above the axle that the main pole fits into. Looking quite simple but it could be one of the Egyptians most brilliant inventions. Historians think that the center pole was intentionally left loose to act as a shock absorber and make it a more comfortable ride. We also believe…

Deception in Psychological Research Psychologists Blass (2009), Milgram (1964), Zimbardo (1998), Elms (1982), Wren (1999), Forward, Canter and Kirsh (1976) yield acceptance, credibility and functionality of deception within psychological research. Baumrind (1964), Miller (1972), Greenberg (1967) and Kelman (1967, 1972) on the other hand hold contrasting views. Deception when duplicating life like scenarios removed from artificial representation, harmfulness, risk taking in order to investigate…

The death of Savita Halappanavar in University Hospital Galway in 2012 highlighted sepsis as a patient safety issue in urgent need of addressing. In 2014, Minister for health , Leo Varadkar published 3 sets of clinical guidelines dealing with patient safety issues, one being sepsis (Cullen, P.2014). The sepsis management clinical guidelines provide health care professionals with a diagnosis and treatment framework to be followed. It outlines the diagnostic criteria, a diagnostic tool (EWS),…

Hypernatremia occurs when the body has increased serum sodium levels that go over 145 mEq/L. This increase in serum sodium levels results in hypertonicity, pulling water out of cells resulting in cell shrinkage. Based on extracellular fluid water volume (level of hypertonicity), hypernatremia can be isovolemic (most common), hypovolemic, or hypervolemic. When isovolemic hypernatremia occurs, there is a loss of free water whilst maintaining near normal sodium serum concentration. Isovolemic…
