Introduction The scientific method is crucial in providing analytical, sensible, problem-solving criteria across many fields in the biological learning area. For instance, the scientific method can boost a researcher’s knowledge of a disease such as asthma and allergic reaction. The importance of the scientific method relies on the basic steps such as observation, hypothesis formulation, testing of the predictions, drawing conclusions, and refining them. As in the case of asthma and allergic reactions investigations, descriptive studies can be used to describe the nature of the relationship between asthma and asthma attack, therefore explaining the cause and effect. Additionally, the scientific method of descriptive studies involves critical thinking that enables the application of logic to conclude. In consequence, the descriptive studies help in taking the asthmatic studies from the theoretical discipline to a more explicit biological science. Asthma and asthmatic attack studies are among the most important areas of inquiry in biology. First, when research is conducted on asthma as a subject, people begin to differentiate between the effects of different allergens. More precisely, they realize that the same allergens that give sneezing fits and watery eyes can cause an asthma attack on others. Secondly, the choice to study asthma, and allergic reactions is informed by its ability to assist asthmatic individuals in understanding their triggers and learn how to prevent them in case of an attack. The understanding is important because allergens are everywhere so symptoms of asthma attack manifest after inhalation of allergy triggers such as pollen grains, dust mites, or mold among others. Without a doubt, the educative purpose of the studies on asthma and asthma attacks can reduce the death-related cases, more so in the present COVID-19 period. Context of the Biological Kingdom Biology, in itself, is natural science because it deals with the explanation, apprehension, and prediction of the natural phenomenon based on empirical evidence from observation, experimentation. Again, within the natural sciences, biology occupies the fundamental space of life sciences. This is because biological sciences are more concerned with the study of living organisms and their relationship with their environment. Therefore, there exists a relationship between biology and the study of asthma alongside allergic reactions (Mahmoudi, 2017). The relationship is based on the fact that asthma occurs in humans, who are the living organisms studied in biology. A characteristic such as response to stimuli is well explained by how the body of a human being will react to allergens hence triggering asthma. Accordingly, the study of asthma is valuable in placing the investigation of allergic reactions in a biological context. By explaining various reactions of the human body towards certain varieties of allergens, the study of asthma can be placed within the context of the biological sub-branch known as immunobiology. In biological terms, the interactions of antig
Children and teenagers face ever-increasing stress in their lives. Many turn to comfort eating to cope with this stress, to the point where it takes on the characteristics of an addiction. Such behavior likely contributes to the ongoing obesity epidemic and has been linked to highly-pleasurable foods, such as fast food or candy. This paper will examine the issue and look for possible ways of treatment. Discussion Comfort eating is not an uncommon response to stress but, in extreme cases, it can become a damaging behavior. Currently, food addiction is not recognized as a clinical disorder, but sufferers exhibit “central behaviors associated with substance addiction” (Tompkins, Laurent, & Brock, 2017, p. 462). Furthermore, such behaviors are commonly associated with a specific type of food, such as chocolate or chips. Therefore, overeating of highly-pleasurable foods can be viewed as an addiction. Initially, overeating behavior tends to start with regular comfort eating: children turn to it when stressed, depressed, or anxious. However, it eventually becomes a habit: some eat mindlessly and only realize it afterward. Overeating and obesity can also become a vicious cycle: children would eat to cope with the stress of being overweight. Withdrawal-like symptoms are also common: a recent study found them in 26.9% participants (Tompkins, et. al., 2017). These findings suggest that this type of overeating is more than a regular bad habit and may require specialized aid to treat. Conclusion Overeating, particularly of highly-pleasurable, sugary and fatty foods, is a problem among children and teenagers. It leads to obesity, bulimic behavior, and social issues if an overweight child becomes the target of mockery and bullying. There are signs that simply providing information is insufficient to combat this addiction, and thus it may be require means to target it specifically. Such means may include psychological counseling, taxation, or restriction of access to problem foods.
Background Rose is a 14 year old, African American female living in the Mott Haven division of the South Bronx with her mother and two siblings. Her mother is a single parent. Rose was very normal throughout her childhood. However, things started to change after she enrolled for her secondary education. She started exhibiting different personalities. At times she was cool and collected, whereas at other times she exhibited strange bodily sensations and tone of voice. This condition is commonly known as dissociative identity disorder (DID). Individuals suffering from this disorder patients who exhibit two or more personalities. Her mother attributes Rose’s condition to post traumatic stress that followed her parent’s dramatic and appalling separation, coupled with an abusive childhood. Rose’s father was a very violent man and a drug addict. He used to frequently assault her wife and children. In addition, he was a fairly irresponsible. Nevertheless, he had a special bond with her daughter. The divorce adversely affected Rose. As Rose’s condition began to deteriorate, her mother decided to take her to a nearby psychiatric center that specializes in treating mental disorders. At the same time, Rose’s mother called the school counselor to tell him that she had taken Rose to the nearby psychiatric center to get further assistance. The school counselor requested for an exchange of information between the psychiat
An estimation of about several thousands of American elderly people experience domestic violence in the form of elderly abuse in their homes. The violence violates their rights by making them feel neglected, abused, and exploited. Generally, the term elderly abuse can refer to intentional mistreatment act by a person to a vulnerable adult that causes risk of harm to them. In addition, the fact the elderly people cannot defend themselves because of the physical frailty that they encounter, they will experience most of the elderly abuse. Today, it is evident that elderly abuse is a serious problem all over the world and one that is likely to grow as many countries experience rapidly ageing populations (American Medical Association, 1990). Discussion The description best describes elderly abuse, which is becoming a severe problem in the society today. The extent of elderly abuse that is committed at home lies between 4 percent and 6 percent. For the elderly people, the consequences of elderly abuse are very serious because the elderly people have brittle bones and prone to prolonged convalescence. Elderly abuse takes different ways or forms, which include physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, exploitation, healthcare fraud and abuse, and abandonment. First, elderly abuse can be physical abuse whereby the elderly people experience external forces such as hitting or shoving among other physical torture. Emotional abuse is whereby the elderly face verbal intimidation, humiliation, and ridicule. Sexual abuse is an abuse whereby a person makes contact with an elder person without their consent or showing pornographic materials to the elder. Neglect focuses on the failure to carry out caretaking obligation (American Medical Association, 1990). Short-term consequences of elder abuse Elderly abuse has several consequences, which can be either short-term or long-term. Short-term consequences include increased stress whereby the elderly go through emotional stress that follows the shock from the abuse. This may lead to elderly people experiencing depression, appetite loss, early deaths, and feeling of loneliness. Another short-term consequence is that elderly abuse increases physical weariness and frailty. In experiencing this, the elderly people may develop ill health, which may include hypertension, arthritis among others. In addition, consequences of elderly abuse have effect on the families as well. The families may have strained relationships among its members and may as well loose respect and honor in the society. Another consequence lies on the community whereby the community enters into fund raisings in dealing with the effects of the abuse. The effects of elderly abuse weaken the community social cohesion and networks (Lindbloom, Brandt, & Hough, 2007). Long-term consequences of elder abuse On the long-term consequences, we have decreasing or declining nutritional levels of the elderly people, which increases the susceptibility to illness that later leads to malnutrition. Another long-term consequence that elderly abuse
In the story Swimmer among the Stars , which is a chapter in the book of the same name, ethnographers visit a woman – the last speaker of her native language. During their communication about her mother tongue, several important themes and stories rise that will make readers feel nostalgic and also find something for themselves. Even though the story develops around the speech, the central theme that concerns the author and reader is the issue of belonging. Language is the connection with family, culture, and the community in which the person was born. Native speech is something people use primarily to study the world around them. Moreover, by forming speech skills in our mother tongue, we simultaneously demonstrate aesthetic attitude to nature, man, society, art. It is possible to find something not acceptable to other languages, such as different words for expressing gratitude in the main character’s speech. Thus, people live while their dialect is alive, and their heritage is maintained. If it disappears, the world will become less diverse and poorer in its culture. Speaking of the problem of belonging in the story, one can think of a passage in which a woman recalls speaking with dishes in her native language (Kanishk, 2018). She just needed to share something as important and close as her mother tongue. Her children were not able to learn it, so she felt sadness and loneliness. Conversations are an essential way of social interaction, and if they take place in a native dialect for both sides, people feel that they are part of something great and important. Thus, Kanishk Tharoor, through a story about the last speaker, raised several philosophical problems endlessly discussed by thinkers. Perhaps the answer to them can not always be found. However, after reading the chapter, readers can rethink some parts of their lives – belonging or loneliness, communication with family, connection to native culture, and many others. The main thing to note in this story is that every language deserves to be spoken.

Introduction The main aim of this topic is to help students examine the Eucharist as Christ’s sacramental action in the church within catholic confines. In effect, the topic will serve as an eye opener to the students for them to realize that Eucharist is the source of summit of the life of Christians. This paper will seek to develop a topic that will help students in understanding the Eucharist through Jesus’ fellowship as well as the last supper. Furthermore, the topic will include elements that will help reinforce in students the secrecy of the memorial meals and sacrifice associated with praise and thanksgiving. The paper will be composed of two parts. The first will emphasize the elements of the topic that are essential and crucial to explicit curriculum while the second will include elements that the author believes should be left out on purpose in the design of this Eucharist topic. The second part of the paper will mainly centre on the implicit curriculum aspect of the topic. There will b a concerted effort to include though subtly in the justifications of the importance of phenomena such as heroism, liturgy, the position of Mary in catholic teaching and the importance that teaching holds in the advancement of the catholic ideas and Christianity in general. It’s important to note that the implementation of the topic will critically rely on teachers input. According to Rymarz (2007, pp.12-15), teachers in Australia have a great attitude especially when it comes to teaching about Jesus. They therefore will be relied upon in the successful teaching of this Eucharist topic. Explicit Curriculum Significance attached with the celebrations Jesus held with sinners This particular part will introduce to students the importance of Jesus’ ministry. This part is particularly important given that it will be demonstrating the free association of Jesus with people of all kinds especially the poor and societal outcasts. The students will be tasked to identify who the poor and outcasts in today’s world are. This point will be helpful to students in unravelling how Jesus was the sacrament of God especially through role plays. The book of Luke will be very critical in analyzing the last Supper and in helping students understand the role that the Passover played among the Jews. Students will also be tasked to explore other Christian denomination’s beliefs about Eucharist and what it means to
Executive Summary KTG requires an effective action plan in a new regional office. This need arises from the existing misalignments of management with the values and vision of the organisation in the region together with low employee motivation, which influences its performance. The report proposes an action plan that involves the development of strategies for enhancing operational effectiveness, communication, and employee motivation. This plan is anticipated to lift the underperformance of the organisation in the region to align with the organisation’s average performance in all other regions. The report recognises and discusses various challenges that are encountered in KTG’s microenvironment, which also affects its performance negatively in terms of profitability. The discussion forms the pillar that supports the suggested corporate strategy. By examining the diverse regional capabilities of KTG, the report emphasises the need of developing an effective strategic plan and its proper management. This plan constitutes the only way in which the organisation can establish a competitive edge in a market that is characterised by competitors who offer better value for money to the industry clients. Introduction Leadership Overview Leadership comprises an important aspect of any organisation that seeks to remain resilient to various external and internal operational challenges. Leadership inspires followers to work collectively to achieve specific goals. Leading is an organisational task that not only influences the followers (employees), but also leaders in a manner that ensures that organisational objectives are achieved through change. According to Lussier and Achua, it integrates and intertwines followers and leaders while at the same time enhancing organisational objectives and missions by engaging other organisational stakeholders 1 . While leading, followers must be involved. A leader functions as a strategist, communicator, and motivator. Visions, goals, missions, and objectives guide the daily operations of organisations. Leaders endeavour to ensure that people believe and work towards the achievements of these aspects while managers attempt to administer rules and regulations, which ensure that things are accomplished using an established protocol and procedure. Hence, their focus is on managing work while that of leadership is to lead people in an unknown future. These roles reveal the importance of leadership as opposed to management in terms of manoeuvring through the challenges encountered by KTG. A recent survey by KTG’s CEO identified challenges such as demotiva
Introduction Cataloging and organization of the items in collections and sets are often an important problem for those who collect something, or have numerous items of the same origin. The matter of this paper is the collection of DVD movies, which has been collected for several years, and which is the collection of the best movies, issued in the USA, Europe and Japan. Cataloging When the collection started growing, and requiring more and more space, the strict system of cataloging was required. First, the movies were located in accordance with the purchase sequence. Then, the two groups were defined: movies and cartoons. This differentiation was satisfying for some time, nevertheless, the further growth of the collection required more detailed structuring and bringing collection to order. Thus, genres were selected as the main key for differentiating the parts of the collection. At the moment, the DVDs are separated by the following categories: action, comedy, horror, family, animated, and romance. The new masterpieces of cinematography and animation are created, and the collection is still growing. Originally, there are several ways to improve the cataloging technique. The most obvious is to select another feature, in accordance to which the DVDs will be separated: years of issuing, name of the director, personal rating. Another way is to make the electronic catalogue. Creation of the catalogue with the assistance of the corresponding software is a simple task, and the collection may be separated in accordance with several tags, acquired for every DVD, nevertheless, the problem of searching the required one in the collection will stay the actual one. Consequently, to avoid mixing of the DVDs, they should be stored in an alphabetical order, numbered or marked with special symbols, the sequence of which will be clear and understandable. Supplies Storing of a DVD collection is closely associated with the necessity to have enough space for the boxes. Thus, the most important supply is a shelf, preferably with several stories. Thus, the entire collection will be placed in a single location, but not in different corners of the apartment. The next helpful supply is the box with a lock, where the shelves may be placed, or groups of the DVDs may be stored. These boxes are required for preventing the collection from the access of little children and those, who like ruining the perfect order of the collection. When the PC cataloging was resorted to, the supplies which were used are the marker, sticky stripe and notebook. The marks, made in a notebook were made if some unpredictable events occurred, for the further amendment of the tagging system in the cataloging software. Finally, the most important supply is the PC with the cataloging software, which allows the systematic tagging of the DVD collection, sorting of the movies in accordance with genres, rating, description, directors, country, year of issuing etc. Thus, the electronic arrangement of the collection is the most universal and comfortable, as it may be extended, amended, or entirely changed. The only demerit of thi
