The Mediator

Empowerment allows parties to, in simple terms, ‘control the process and the outcome’. Mediators are bound by certain standards which dictates self-determination to be a requisite of the facilitative mediation model. As such, in order not to ‘violate’ these standards, parties are empowered to the extent where they can determine most variables of a mediation process; including the acceptance of a mediator and the conditions of agreement. This was evident throughout my group’s role-play,…

enkalphins which inhibits further conduction of nociceptive stimulus (Fishman et al., p. 30). Peripheral sensitization will limit the degree of inhibition due to release of inflammatory mediators at the site of injury, or cause hyperalgesia with non-noxious stimuli (Fishman et al., p. 31). Inflammatory mediators and sensitization factors include bradykinin, leukotrienes, prostaglandin E2, nerve growth factor, serotonin (5HT), tumor necrosis factor alpha, and interleukins. Once sensitivity…

Naturally, people’s understanding of a particular tradition or culture (e.g. identity) helps the community select the best form of ADR that is most advantageous for the tradition’s practices and belief. Traditions are significant because they are the generational foundations to the lifestyles and customs of people. In addition, this allows humans to identify with one another differently based off of cultural differences; which is formulated, primarily, through the application of their lineage’s…

However, in some civil disputes, parties will benefit more from going through mediation as it is interest based so parties’ relationship are less likely to be damaged as a result of allowing parties to reach a mutually accepted agreement. Yet, mediators do not have the experience and expertise to hear a range of civil case as each civil case vary in their complexity and seriousness. It is not the matter of fact that the issue will be resolve through compromising. Therefore, mediation should…

essay is divided into three parts. First part is media and intercultural communication. The essay will discuss the media and journalism become the mediator in intercultural communication, the positive and negative influence of media on intercultural communication and what kind of principles and suggestions should journalism take to become a better mediator in this part. The second part is new media and intercultural communication. In this part, the essay will talk about the relationship…

third party merely hosts the parties and encourages them to continue negotiating in a neutral, welcoming environment, the mediator plays a more active role. The mediator not only facilitates but also designs the process, and assists and helps the parties to get to the root of their conflict, to understand their interests, and reach a resolution agreed by all concerned. A mediator should study the substance of the dispute, and try to identify the issues in conflict, using tools such as…

There are many theories that explain the damage that happens in DOMS at the cellular level. The most known explanation is the accumulation of lactic acid, but this was rejected because it was shown to be unrelated to DOMS. There is the muscle spasm theory that indicates that resting activation of the muscles caused spasm that compressed the vessels, hindering blood flow and increased the sensation of pain. The connective tissue states that there is a predominance of type II fibers that increase…

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…

Pain is modulated by descending mechanisms of nociceptive transmission between the brain and spinal cord. Multiple brain regions, pathways, and chemical mediators are involved in this modulation of pain. One type of powerful mediator involved in pain modulation are opioids. Endogenous opioid peptides, as well as exogenous opioid agonists, bind and activate opioid receptors. Activated opioid receptors directly inhibit ON cells and also inhibit GABAergic interneurons which inhibit OFF cells, thus…

These inflammatory cells generate a range of mediators that act on target cells in the airways, and result in the abnormal pathophysiological features of Asthma (Barnes, 1996). The walls of the airways are considered to be oedematous, and are occupied by inflammatory cells (Barnes, 1996). The activated CD4 T-lymphocytes transport the leukocytes from the bloodstream to the airways (Holgate, 2008), and hence manage the release of mediators from lymphocytes, mast cells, and eosinophil (Fireman…
