Variance

The second type of transgression against more conservative, traditional Chinese values is the portrayal of gender fluidity in The Butterfly Lovers. It is no new concept or phenomenon in many other parts of the world. For example, gender variant individuals, known as two-spirit people, are a part of the indigenous Native community. Two-spirit individuals often hold important shaman and ritual roles in their society (Kimmel, 2000). These individuals are born biologically a specific sex, but can…

Objectives of Dingle oceanworld: Dingle oceanworld is a center of research and conservation. The facility was opened in 1996. The mission statement of Dingle oceanworld is ‘To develop Dingle Oceanworld as a National and International Centre of Excellence in the care, conservation and presentation of all forms of marine life for clean seas. We will conduct research which enhances the quality of marine life and educate our visitors to the best of our ability.’(Dingle Oceanworld, n.d.) Why…

of mental illnesses across the world vary from that of Western Culture; thus, it becomes difficult to define the nature of a disorder as it pertains to each individual culture. There is a tendency of miscommunication of the language as well as a variance in the causations of the disorders that create a cultural barrier. In order to compare mental illnesses and determine the most efficient psychiatric diagnosis and treatment, the relationship between the social environment and the genetic…

 Experiment Procedure This experiment was conducted between 12PM and 5PM to reduce the effects of circadian rhythm on the participants, so the participants would be fully awake and cognitively aware at the time of the experiment. The subjects were instructed to arrive at the lab 1 hour prior to the beginning of the TSST. Upon arrival, they were taken to a waiting room where the head experimenter informed them about the process of the study. After verbal and written consent was received from all…

During the mid-20th century, medicine had a very narrow conception of trans despite theoretical progress. Beginning in the 1940s, popular ideas of gender variance began to gain nuance and move away from sexualized ideas of “inversion” and other psychoanalytic constructs. During this time, Harry Benjamin advocated for medical treatment of gender variance (Enke, Lecture 3/31). His work was influenced by his relationships with trans people such as Louise Lawrence. After her introduction to Benjamin…

forces at play that all contribute to this isolation. The external factors include weather patterns; the Sahara Desert and exotic rivers to only name a few. The Internal factors include distance between communities, Difficulty of transportation and variances in communication. All of these factors played a…

Central to the stress process model is the claim that social patterns of health and illness are shaped by the interplay of stressors and resources. Theorists and researchers have developed several basic conceptual models of this interplay between stressors and resources that have been used in many of the empirical studies. The areas of stress are a deep and complicated topic that requires a lot of attention and knowledge to be able grasp. Stress is important because it can have lingering effects…

misinformed, endeavors to contain them. However, the lakes additionally confront lesser-known issues. Egan deftly clarifies the investigation of these mind boggling issues, including spillover instigated lethal algal blossoms and extraordinary variances in the lakes' water levels ascribed to environmental change. In spite of all the awful news, there are hints of something to look forward to. Following quite a while of living on the very edge of fall, local whitefish and trout are recovering…

emotional and neglect. The current incidence rate is problematic due to the issue surrounding the definition of abuse and neglect in research; it is essential to aim for a concrete definition to prevent confusion across the literature. Furthermore, variance around prevalence is also dependent on the measures used, the population and the methodology within research, which must be considered when making comparisons across research to ensure the conclusions drawn are accurate. Recent figures from…

the upper airway where it is activated by acylhomoserine lactones. The increased likelihood of developing respiratory infections can be due to genetic differences (Lee. 2012). In a study where PROP - similar to PTC - was used as a probe for these variances in sensing the bitter taste, bitterness varied significantly with different genotypes (Duffy, 2004). Additionally, when exploring the importance of PTC, it was reported that tasting PTC had a correlation to tasting other toxic substances…
