Introduction The sexuality of the adolescent is tied up inextricably with the events of puberty. This is because the body of the adolescent develops its adult shape and reproductive functioning and the hormonal changes which affect sex drives in complex ways. Although biological processes do not tell us everything about how and why we behave sexually, understanding these processes is necessary for explaining sexual development. This paper studies; the interaction between hormones and behavior, the interaction between hormones and behavior affects the development of adult sexuality, evaluation of development psychology processes on sexual differentiation, and determination of key biological changes in sexual behavior. A Review of Related Literature Explain the Interaction between Hormones and Behavior Classically, hormones are viewed as causal agents of the behavior of the kind of one-hormone one-behavior interaction. This school of thought has been aided mainly by research studies on castration and therapy for hormone replacement that indicated that behavior was abolished by castration and restored by exogenous administration of androgens (Nelson, 2005). Probabilistic theory to the effects of hormones on behavior is viewed as facilitators of behavior rather than as determinant factors (Rutter, 1987). Hormones can increase or reduce the probability of expression of a given behavior by acting as neuron-modulators on the neural pathways underlying that behavioral pattern (Golombok & Fivush, 1994). There is also the realization that the social environment feeds back to influence the levels of hormones. This is viewed as an adaptive mechanism through which individuals may adjust their motivation according to the social context they are facing. This reflects a two-way type of interaction between hormones and behavior. Incidentally, hormones such as androgen are seen as playing a vital role as endocrine mediators of the effects of social context on the expression of social behavior (Golombok & Fivush, 1994). Evaluate Biological Processes on Sexual differentiation There are several biological processes involved in sexual differentiation. Sexual orientation is the process by which males and females develop their sexual anatomy. According to Rutter (1987), this process starts in the womb during the embryonic stage of prenatal development. At conception, a female egg having 23 chromosomes unites with male sperm, also having 23 chromosomes, to form a single cell with 23 chromosome cell pairs. One of the sex chromosome pairs has the capacity to determine the genetic sex of the child. The sex chromosome provided by the egg is always an X chromosome; the male sperm can donate either an X or Y chromosome. If the male sperm contributes an X chromosome, the child will be a genetic female with a XX sex chromosome pair. A Y chromosome from the sperm will result in a genetic male with an XY pattern (Golombok & Fivush, 1994). The single-cell formed at conception immediately begins to divide to produce an embryo. For the first few weeks, XX and XY embryos appear to
Marketing Decision Support System The opportunities of the automotive market largely depend on many external factors, and the case of Nick Thomas and his company ZEN is a confirmation. One of the real ways that can help the corporation suffering losses is to conduct appropriate marketing research. The primary task of this work is to provide the company with necessary information about the interest of consumers in the products and the needs of the market. Basic research can include statistical data on sales during a certain period. Depending on the data received, a competent conclusion can be drawn about when the crisis came and what was the fundamental cause of consumer stagnation. One of the mechanisms that can provide real help in solving the problem of low sales and customers’ indifference is the implementation of a special marketing decision support system. It can include several stages and consist of different steps. For example, as a stimulating element, certain information can be voiced in public. The problem of global warming, according to Mr. Thomas, plays an essential role in the process of forming the market of cars. Therefore, specific information can be submitted, for example, by convincing consumers that the company cares about the production of environmentally-friendly models. Also, as a marketing strategy, attracting customers with a slight reduction in the cost of fuel can be a very successful tool. If people see that the corporation is interested in keeping clients, they will certainly be more active in buying cars and will pay attention to not only large models but also ordinary small-sized vehicles. The use of such marketing technologies can make a significant contribution to the promotion of the company’s goods. Causal Research The alternative to merging with the other company did not inspire confidence in the general director of ZEN. Perhaps, too serious consequences can be overtaken by the company if appropriate, effective measures are not taken. Therefore, to solve the existing problem, causal research can be carried out along with marketing analysis in order to determine the central factors affecting sales problems. The failure to meet an objective can hardly be considered the feature of Nick Thomas and his team. Nevertheless, some nuances mislead the head of the corporation. In particular, it is about global warming since Mr. Thomas does not have precise information about the effect of this phenomenon and evidence of the influence of the human on its origin. Therefore, one of the solutions to the problem is the opportunity to conduct a causal analysis of the current opinion on global warming and to find the most accurate response regarding its existence. Another issue raised by ZEN management is the sale of specific vehicle models. According to the current situation, Mr. Thomas cannot determine which cars should be preferred. Possible causes for it are constant changes in fuel prices,
Executive Summary The purpose of this paper is to create a business case on Oxfam Australia to suggest the CEO change cloud-computing services as an advantageous step for this social welfare organization. At the initial stage, this report will concentrate on the organizational background with the knowledge management system, a basic overview of the current cloud computing initiative, benefits, the risks associated with this initiative, and the goal of the projects. However, this report will focus on Oxfam’s current data storage status with previous dilemmas related to the data storage system, cost, and knowledge management. At the same time, this paper will include the expectation of Oxfam to achieve through cloud computing including objectives and probable advantages to assist the CEO to take effective measures in this regard. To explain the position of the present system, this report will perform a SWOT analysis, which discusses the difference between the current and desired data storage status of the selected organization and it will suggest some solution to remove the identified problems in the cloud computing system and then categorize three most effective recommendations. On the other hand, this paper will suggest the IT management team incorporate several applications to remove challenges in cloud technology and to increase scalability, flexibility, and decrease operating costs. However, this paper will recommend the CEO to find out new cloud computing service provider for Oxfam Australia, which offers database storage at a competitive price and gives a quality security system to protect loss of information from a database or backup data storage. In addition, this report will identify possible challenges of the systems, for instance, collaborating actions, internal conflicts, distributed denial of services (DDoS), Economic denial of services (DDoS), isolation breakdown, legal barrier, problems in backup data storage. Summary of the Assignment Description of Oxfam Australia According to Oxfam Australia (2010), it is a self-governing NFP development organization, which assists to defeat paucity and inequality internationally; it affords individuals with expertise, awareness, and assets to come out of poverty and apply the fundamental societal, economic, and civil rights; moreover, it equips neighborhoods, associates, and personnel with tools to attain basic-rights to education, food, clean water, healthcare, and fairness.

One Cloud Computing Initiative of Oxfam Australia Oxfam Australia has initiated public cloud for its data storage to achieve the aims of backing up and restoring an overgrowing-database whilst ascertaining high-level accessibility to global users, to en
Background Information The relationship between India and Pakistan has been in the global spotlight for many decades now. It is highly characterized by constant interstate confrontations, war, and numerous crises. Ever since the late 1940s, the Indo-Pakistan relations have been in a state of cold war and over the years the conflict has escalated and taken the form of widespread armed clashes as well as nuclear war (Lyon ix). The dominant aim in the official Indo-Pakistan relations has been the search for lasting peace between the two countries (Lyon ix). However, despite many numerous efforts by the international community to intervene in the situation, the warfare between the two countries has continued to widen in scope, technological inputs as well as the extent of destructiveness (Lyon xi). In 2001-2002, the two countries clashed when India mobilized its troops on the international border consequently provoking a Pakistani response which led to a ten month confrontation between the two countries. The relationship between the two countries was highly influenced by border co
Introduction The Shadow Health Comprehensive Assessment Experience is an experience that enables students to practice skills like communication, physical assessment of the patient, and documentation. Intended Accomplishment I intended to build good communication skills, which will enable me to have proper interpersonal relationships with my patients. In addition, I aimed at making accurate diagnosis after appropriate physical examination of a patient. I also intended to learn appropriate documentation of details during patient handling. Communication Skills Used I employed empathy when handling my patient by immersing myself in the patients feeling; this will boost patient satisfaction during the treatment process (Taliercio, 2017). Besides, I practiced listening as I was handling my patient. Listening involved giving the patient time to explain her feelings without interrupting. Proper use of body language is also another skill that I used. Which Skill Worked Well? Listening worked well while I handled my patient as I responded directly to what they required me to. Consequently, I employed proper body language, sitting up and being alert, to make my patient aware that I have dedicated my time to attend to her. Additionally, I practiced honesty while administering an injection when I mentioned that it would be a slight prick so that the patient is aware of what procedure I’m undertaking. Insights Gained First, I realized that patients are in their vulnerable state and hence want some assurance of quick recovery, and this is where empathy comes in. Second, proper body language is essential; staying calm when the patient states something shocking will encourage them to talk more. Finally, honesty will enable patients to prepare psychologically for the intended treatment, thus contributing to the general recovery of the patient. Thing Learned I learned the importance of documentation while handling my patients. This serves as a go-to book when the patient comes back, making it easier for me to understand my patient. Challenge Encountered Maintaining proper facial expressions is difficult, significantly when the patient’s situation worsened. How the Experience will Inform my Practice During my Practice, I will ensure that appropriate body language and honesty will be part of my daily routine when handling patients (Agboli et al., 2020). Listening attentively will help me diagnose accurately; hence the medication given will automatically work. Concern and follow up will ensure my patient adhere to the prescription given, which will quicken their recovery. Bibliography Agboli, A., Richard, F., & Aujo
The Human-Animal Relationship and Geographic Elements Humans have had one of the deepest relationships with animals. Pet ownership is one of the methods used to increase the human-animal relationship. Some of the favorite pets include dogs, cats, and birds. However, Wabnitz, Taylor, Green and Razak (2003), argue that the ownership of marine aquaria is becoming one of the fastest growing hobbies. Tropical fish, for example, goldfish, clownfish, mosquito fish, and zebrafish, are some of the most common fish in aquariums. According to Cato and Brown (2008), the hobby is creating an enormous challenge in regulating and monitoring the breeding and trade in tropical fish. Researchers have identified several benefits of keeping tropical fish including beauty, emotional support, educational, and therapeutic. However, these reasons evoke ethical, geographical, power, and economic concerns. The relationship interferes with the natural habitats of fish, relationship between countries and the economic wellbeing of different communities. Tropical fish are kept for their beauty and as a form of art. For example, the Siamese fighting fish are kept as decorations because of their unique fins and different colorations on their body. Additionally, the goldfish and the mosquito fish have unique colorations that attract buyers and fish enthusiasts. The tropical fish have been associated with creating a therapeutic atmosphere that helps people to relax and reduce stress. According to Huntingford (2013), the experience of watching colored tropical fish in an aquarium relaxes the mind and relieves stress. The smooth movement of fish fins and colored tails creates harmony and helps stressed people to relax. Tropical fish are used as presents for children interested in having live versions of animated characters. For example, some animated movies feature goldfish and other kinds of tropical fish. The experience with animated tropical fish compels children to ask for live fish, which they treat like the animated characters. Researchers have associated the observation of fish behaviors with enhanced cognitive skills. Children who cared for goldfish were better in understanding animal behavior compared to those whose homes did not have aquariums. Additionally, fish ownership has been associated with a higher esteem among children because of the aspect of control and dominance. Despite these benefits, keeping tropical fish as pets has multiple implications. One of the ethical implications of the human-animal relationships is in regards to the public perception of fish as a form of art. It is unethical to consider living things as objects of beauty. Fish are intelligent animals that commun
Right to refuse Delivery and Demand Return of Money of Purchaser The right to refuse delivery and demand for the return of money by the buyer MAS is to be considered under a contract of sale and the revision of the law of contracts for the international sale of goods. The contract of sale, in this case, is covered by the ICC Incoterms 2000 and in addition by the law of Victoria and the Commonwealth of Australia. As per the facts cited, it can be inferred that the obligations of the parties to the contract are covered by CIF (London) under Incoterms 2000. “Incoterms represent a set of international rules for the interpretation of commonly used trade terms, eliminating or reducing the uncertainties of different interpretations of these terms in different countries” (PBB Global Logistics, n.d). According to the terms of the contract, the delivery obligations of the seller AMA become complete when the drums are loaded onboard the ship in Melbourne by end of May 2010, and the seller makes the freight and insurance prepaid to London. The fact that the contract price includes the cost of marine insurance implies that the buyer undertakes the risk of loss or damage to the goods during their transit from Melbourne to London. Therefore, proof of safe shipment of the goods will be complete when the goods are made onboard in Melbourne and the issue of a clean bill of lading confirms this. A bill of lading is a transferable document, which has a significant role to play in passing proprietary and contractual rights within the framework of the applicable laws (Treitel & Reynolds, 2005).In this case, the seller is entitled to receive the payment under the contract. The seller has breached its obligations concerning delivery under the contract of sale, since the goods were not
Introduction Hammurabi’s Code of Laws is one of the earliest surviving laws that were aphasia, which was the ancient civilizations of Babylonia. The code of laws is dated to around 1760 BC and was,was drafted by the sixth King of Babylon, Hammurabi. The laws are one-line edicts that tell the common people how to behave in dealings with others, how slaves were to be treated, the position of women in society, and other aspects of life in the kingdom. This paper analyses the laws and presents historic facts concerning the laws and how relevant they are in today’s society. Historical facts A brief discussion of the history related to the laws is given in this section. About King Hammurabi Hammurabi ascended the throne of Babylonia during 1800 BC and he was the from the Amorite dynasty and the sixth king of the kingdom. As was the custom of those days, he started waging wars and expanding his kingdom and soon his empire extended to the regions of Assyria and Northern Syria. He was an able administrator and realized that his kingdom could be best governed by a transparent set of laws. These laws were engraved on giant stones and placed in temples around his country. The idea behind making the laws known to everyone was to make his subjects aware of what was right and wrong and to ensure that justice was swift and the same for all people. The king claimed to have received the laws from the Sun god, Shamash. Over the years, the laws have been appended and there are 282 laws in all (Bryant, 2005). Discovery of the laws The laws were carved on a seven feet slab made of basalt, called a stele and the laws were carved on the stone in the ancient cuneiform script of the civilization. Two archeologists, Gustave Jéquier and Jacques de Morgan discovered the slab while exploring the area of Khuzestan in Iran. There is only one example of the stele and others have been presumed destroyed or lost. The stele is put up for display in Paris in the famed Louvre Museum. The laws are carved in 51 columns on the slab. It is presumed that many more copies of the laws must have been made. Kings of those times liked to leave their mark for posterity and King Hammurabi was no exception. To make the laws seem authentic, the stele has an engraving at the top showing Hammurabi standing in front of the Sun-god, Shamash who is seated on a throne. As a mark of respect, the relief has the King‘s hand is raised to his mouth while he listens to the sun god. The cuneiform script was deciphered later and the translated versions of the laws have been published in various publica
Executive Summary The challenges in the economic environment require firms to have hints of financial flexibility. Most companies have been striving to balance their capital structure to ensure long-term growth. Moreover, firms review financing options to propagate expansions and growth. At present, the financial markets offer some alternatives to improve company finances. But these options are accompanied with risks that have to be assessed. It is important for firms to understand their current needs and the uncertainties in the capital markets. Wesfarmers Limited is no exemption to growing list of firms requiring the financing vehicles. Although Wesfarmers is historically stable, the need for the firm to be financially certain is a priority. To pursue this goal, Wesfarmers has tapped Goldman Sachs to serve as financial advisor. The responsibility provided to Goldman requires holistic comprehension of Wesfarmers’ current position. In addition, Goldman Sachs has to suggest some financing activities that will satisfy the funding requirements for Wesfarmers initiatives. Introduction The need for Wesfarmers to increase its financial capabilities is motivated by several reasons. The most pressing justification relates to the competitive edge that Wesfarmers needs to sustain. Wesfarmers also targets other firms as enhancement to operations. The company has been actively pursuing to acquire some vital companies within their operational expertise. Wesfarmers also seeks to finance the core activities of the firm. The expansion of these segments is critical in the long-term development of the firm. As an investment bank, Goldman Sachs is tasked to find financing options for the company. There are certain methods used to determine the exact way Wesfarmers need to follow. The process starts with the evaluation of Wesfarmers financial performance. This segment suggests the capacity of Wesfarmers to be profitable during the course of an operating period. The operational capacity of the business is also evaluated. Wesfarmers is regarded diverse firm operating is variety of businesses. In suggesting for financing activities, Goldman needs to evaluate possible risks involved. There are various elements that act as hindrances to the success of these initiatives. Financing can come in different forms. Wesfarmers can issue stocks and use the proceeds for its operations. The company can also issue bonds and other debt instruments. It is also possible for Wesfarmers to use the retained earnings for expansion. All of the stated methods are viable but each has strengths and weaknesses that need to be assessed. Company Overview Wesfarmers Limited started as a farmers’ cooperative in 1914. The mainly operates within various business portfolio in Australia and New Zealand. The firms’ main activities include coal mining, gas production, home improvement products, building supplies, safety products distribution, chemical and fertilisers, and insurance. In addition, Wesfarmers is involved in private equity and other
