Introduction Bioinformatics is a new scientific field that is believed to present new opportunities capable of transforming medical practice. The science is associated with the “completion and analysis of biological data such as genetic makeup and deoxyribonucleic acid acids (DNAs)” (Alzu’bu, Zhou, & Watzlaf, 2014, p. 2). This process relies on the combination of different fields, such as engineering, computer science, and mathematics. New developments in bioinformatics have led to big data in the field of medicine. The data is still being mined, archived, and analyzed in order to make it useful in different fields such as healthcare. This process of data analysis is currently known as the human genome project (HGP). The purpose of this paper is to discuss the unique issues and concerns surrounding the human genome project. The Human Genome Project The human genome project (HGP) is a study or program aimed at understanding the genetic and hereditary constitutions that make people unique (“National Human Genome Research Institute,” 2017). Although the project was completed in the year 2003, the most agreeable fact is that the process of data analysis and sequencing will continue for many years. The project would be used to map and identify the genetic aspects of the human genome. By so doing, scientists are planning to use the project to create a database of information about the unique functional and structural aspects of human DNA. The HGP has a number of goals that are expected to transform the field of medicine. The first goal is to have a detailed sequence of the DNA pairs that are known to form the human genome (“National Human Genome Research Institute,” 2017). Scientists have argued that human genes are categorized into around 20,000 types. The project will guide scientists to identify and map these genetic types. The other goal is to ensure the genomes of every beneficial organism in health research across the world are sequenced. The other equally important objective is coming up with new tools to analyze this big data and ensure the information is available to more people in the medical field. The other agreeable fact is the HGP is a useful project that is expected to support the evolution of bioinformatics. For very many decades, DNA sequencing has been embraced by scientists to understand the development and nature of various diseases. The HGP can, therefore, be treated as an agenda that seeks to support the future of molecular biology (Alzu’bu et al., 2014). Genetic information will be analyzed and sequence
Introduction The concept of cohabitation is traditionally looked down at by the representatives of the contemporary society, which is quite weird given the fact that the phenomenon of diversity and plurality of opinions have been promoted actively as the foundation for judgment. Although cohabitation is traditionally viewed as an intrinsically negative phenomenon, it, in fact, serves as the tool of making relationships stronger and, thus, needs to be promoted as a necessary step to make before the marriage. Cohabitation: Cultural Roadblocks The reasons for the lack of tolerance toward cohabitation to exist may vary; as a rule, people refuse to accept the significance of the experience received in the course of cohabitation for religious reasons. Indeed, most religions indemnify the very idea of cohabitation as the sinful and undignified one. For instance, the given point of view is supported substantially by every denomination of the Christian religion, including the Orthodox, the Catholic, the Protestant, and the Baptist ones. Similarly, the very idea of cohabitation is rejected immediately by the Muslim religion. Buddhists also view the concept of cohabitation as inadmissible and reprehensible, although not immediately punishable, behavior (Vincett, Aune, and Sharma 175). Reasonability of Cohabitation Despite the traditional perspective on the phenomenon of cohabitation, researches show that it has its benefits (Heard and Arunachalam 79). In fact, most of the advantages of cohabitation are supported by impressive rationales and common sense (Fine-Davis 41). First and most obvious, the identification and evaluation of the challenges of married life become evident to the people involved. As a result, one is capable of making a conscious choice between the married life and the one of a single man. The financial issues serve as another crucial reason for people not to become married immediately. Given the current financial situation in the global economy realm and the recent prognoses, the idea of making life-changing decisions does not seem sensible for the people, who lack financial support and may face a serious crisis once bound together. Much like with the supporters of marriage, though, personal beliefs also play a crucial role in the choice made by the couple (Fine-Davis 209). According
Introduction The family institution is a critical institution in many societies. In fact, this institution is recorded as the most important one in the society. It is here that young people are socialized to become who they are in the society. If a person grows to become a social nuisance, it can be traced back to the family, and vice versa. The family starts with marriage. A couple gets into marriage and starts a family life, which becomes the basic unit of society. People get married at different ages. There have been a lot of debates concerning the best age for marriage, but a lot of people have concluded that people should get married in their late twenties or even later. Right Age for Marriage There are numerous factors that a person needs to consider when choosing the best age for marriage. These factors include issues like the level of maturity, educational background, one’s capability of earning a living, and some other related issues. Statistics collected over many years have revealed that marriages that start later than middle twenties have higher chances of survival. It is now a well known fact that a marriage that starts at twenty eight years or more is more stable than a marriage registered some years earlier. In fact, some contributors to this field highlight that the rates of divorce for people who get married (1 st time) at the age of 28 or later are the lowest. These researchers continue to insist that the likelihood for a stable marriage increases as both in a couple attain the age of thirty (Behrens and Rosen 47). By the age of twenty eight, most people have completed their basic and professional education, and they are ready to face family responsibilities and duties. They have also reached the age of responsibility, and they are ready to start a family. Unlike their younger counterparts, these people understand that there is a very big responsibility attached to marriage, and they have to work hard to make their marriage succeed. These people have already faced challenging moments in their life, and they have some conflict management skills that are indispensable in solving the crisis in marriage (Behrens and Rosen 65). Additionally, in most cases such people are already earning a living, and they can take care of the family. They might climb their career ladder, and they use their families as motivational forces to help them succeed in their professional carriers. Therefore, a lot of factors make this age the best age for getting married. Things to be Done Young people need to do a number of things before they make the decision to settle in marriage. First, they must know and understand themselves well before they make this decision because they cannot select a partner for marriage unless they understand themselves.
Samsung is one of the leading manufacturers and distributors of electronic products in the world. Over the last ten years, the firm has experienced impressive market growth because of its marketing strategies. According to Chang (64), Samsung has become the leading electronic firm in the global market because of the pricing and market communication strategies. Most of its high-end products are fairly priced compared to those of its major competitors such as Apple Inc. it has also learned the art of communicating with its clients in the market. However, the firm is now facing a number of challenges that may affect its profitability in the market. In this paper, the researcher seeks to analyze the main challenge that this firm is currently facing. According to Bradley and McDonald (117), the biggest marketing challenge that is currently facing the firm is how to sell its Smartphone to organizational buyers. This is considered the main problem facing Samsung Inc because organizational buyers no longer trust its products. In order to succeed in the current market, Samsung cannot afford to ignore this market segment. Chang (32) says that organizational buyers are becoming important to firms because of their purchasing power. Many firms are now using Smartphone and other related electronic gadgets to address various activities. Multinational corporations rely heavily on these devices to monitor the operations at various branches across the world. Firms such as Blackberry and Apple have remained very successful in marketing to the organizational buyers. However, many firms have rejected Samsung devices citing a number of reasons. The major reason why Samsung smartphones and other communication gadgets are less popular among organizational buyers is because of the issue of security. Samsung’s Smartphone runs on Google’s open-source Android OS. This operating system is more vulnerable to viruses and can easily be hacked as opposed to that which is used by Apple Inc and Blackberry. According to Butow and Watson (29), the chief executive officer of Samsung admitted that the operating system used by the firm’s Smartphone has a number of security problems. This confession came after complaints from some of the organizational buyers who had used the Samsung communication gadgets. These customers complained that their data was easily breached because of poor security system. They also complained that they were slowed in their work because of the constant malware interference every time they went online. The compla
Due to revolutionary discoveries that took place during the course of 20 th century in the fields of physics, biology and psychology, the conceptual fallaciousness of metaphysical conventions, which presuppose the separate existence of soul and body, is now becoming increasingly clear to more and more intellectually honest social scientists. 1 In its turn, this implies that the emanations of one’s existential psyche should not be discussed outside of what happened to be the specifics of individual’s biological makeup – apparently, it is namely one’s body which predetermines the workings of his or her consciousness and not vice versa. 2 In this paper, I will aim to substantiate the validity of an earlier articulated thesis in regards to how the particulars of person’s bodily constitution, reflected by the qualitative essence of his or her cognitive capabilities, affect the manner in which such a person perceives surrounding realities. In his book, one of 20 th century’s most famous anthropologists Levy Bruhl was able to expose the innermost preconditions for the fact that; whereas, Westerners proved themselves capable of driving forward cultural, social and scientific progress, many representatives of so-called ‘indigenous cultures’ failed even at advancing beyond the Stone Age. According to the author, this can be explained by clearly ‘pre-logical’ essence of how these people indulge in cognitive reasoning. Bruhl explains this by the fact that, unlike what it is being the case with intellectually advanced Westerners, ‘pre-logical’ savages actively strive to ‘blend’ with the nature: “Identity appears in (native) collective representations… as a moving assemblage or totality of mystic actions and reactions, within which individual does not subjectualize but objectualize itself”. 3 In its turn, this explains why despite the fact that many highly ritualistic activities, practiced by ‘pre-logical’ tribesmen, do not make any sense, whatsoever (and are often utterly repulsive, as shown by Metcalf) 4 , these rituals nevertheless continue to define the essence of primitive people’s mode of existence. For example, according to Herdt, in traditional societies men’s willingness to follow the ritual is often considered the foremost indication of their masculine adequacy: “Ritual makes use of physical, instru­mental routines in restricting, cleansing, and ingesting things; and the ritual behaviors funnel subjective attachments to conventions, persons, and natural species”. 5 Following the ritual, however, is being often concerned with the process of people intentionally suppressing their individuality and adopting clearly communal stance towards addressing life’s challenges. This explains the methodology of teaching Asian martial arts, for example. 6 Nevertheless, it was on the account of our early ancestors beginning to oppose/subjectualize themselves against the environment that they were able to attain a complete dominance over the representatives of competing species. This allowed them to establish objective prerequisites for the consequential emergence of human civilization, as we know it. 7 As Taylor noted: “Perception is basic
“It’s Complicated”: Rekind Synopsis Ten years have passed since Jack (Alec Baldwin) and Jane (Meryl Streep) divorced. Both are obligated to attend when the youngest graduates college. As it happens, both come solo and are thrown together. Is love really sweeter the second time around? The movie blurb is simplicity itself. “Divorced…with benefits” promises plenty of naughty goings-on, calling to mind the casual sex of “best friends…with benefits” that young men cherish for its insouciant lack of commitment. The salacious promise is bolstered by a visual of an extremely-pleased Jake in post-coital seventh heaven beside Jane, all disheveled and shocked by what had happened. If the movie had carried on with that theme, content to depict the rekindled ardor of empty-nesters, and delivered the expected frothy happy ending, that might have been the end of it. An amusing fantasy, the viewer might concede, but shallow. But the relationship is complicated. Jack is already married to Agness (Lake Bell) who brought to the marriage a young son. Jane had never dated after the divorce, preferring to develop her weekend catering stints into a full-fledged bakery/diner. That one night before the son’s graduation in New York might have been a pleasant interlude for old time’s sake. Except that Jack and Jane both reside in Anytown, USA. Waking up to the realization that he still loves Jane, Jack comes visiting on the excuse of wanting a cup of coffee or a bowl of ice cream. Both times, they wind up in bed. The third time should have been a gourmet dinner Jane promised him but the by-now suspicious Agness kept Jack home on the excuse she was ovulating (Internet Movie Database, 2010). Meanwhile, Jane is horrified-delighted that hers is now the role of the other woman. Then along comes Adam (Steve Martin), two years on the rebound from a divorce that devastated him. As architect designing a new wing for Jane’s old family home, Adam has many chances to have Jane to himself. Dazzled by such a vivacious woman, the perfect foil for his shy self, Adam dares to pay court. Little does he realize he creates more complications for Jane. The fourth time Jack sees Jane again is the climax of the film. Jack invites himself to dinner when all the children are around. Jane is resentful that he stood her up. He makes his case to get back together with her and the children. And now the dénouement ensues. Jane would rather disappoint Jack and the children. Gender Balance in the Film By the nature of the screenplay, men and women populate the cast in believable proportions. The gender divide among the main protagonists cannot be helped: two ex-husbands, one current wife and an ex-wife. Two of Jack’ and Jane’s three children are daughters but the
DeLamater, John D., et al. Social Psychology . Taylor & Francis Group, 2018. ProQuest Ebook Central. Web. The book on social psychology contains a detailed description of various mental health issues people develop. This is an important source for the present research as it provides data on symptoms and behaviors of people suffering from different psychological disorders. The mental health problem of the protagonist of the book is antisocial disorder, so this book contains rich details helping to diagnose the disease. Such symptoms as being disrespectful of other people, manipulating others, abusing verbally or physically others, as well as being irritable, aggressive, arrogant, and irresponsible are symptoms of this personality disorder. A brief review of these symptoms shows that Ignatius could be diagnosed with this mental health issue. Freese, Peter. “A Medieval Crusader in Twentieth-Century New Orleans: John Kennedy Toole’s “A Confederacy of Dunces”.” American Studies , vol. 59, no. 3, 2014, pp. 357-386. JSTOR. Web. The present article includes a detailed analysis of Ignatius’s behavior and the reasons behind his attitudes and perspectives. The author draws parallels between modernity and medieval times. The researcher states that the norms of the two epochs are intermingled to create Ignatius’s picture of the world where the idea of reward and punishment co-exist with the rota Fortunae concepts. It becomes clear that Ignatius’s antisocial behavior is deeply rooted in his inability to adapt to the environment, as well as his family history. Freese also notes that the author’s own traits and attitudes can be traced in the course of the development of Ignatius’s personality. This is a valuable source for the present research as it unveils the background of Ignatius’s attitudes and behaviors related to his mental state. Goodwin, Jeremy D. “A Win for ‘Confederacy’.” American Theatre , vol. 33, no. 2, 2016, pp. 26-30. EBSCOhost. Web. This source dwells upon the staging of the novel by John Kennedy Toole, A Confederacy of Dunces . Goodwin sheds light on the major aspects of the staging process and the challenges encountered by Boston’s Huntington Theatre Company in 2015 (26). The focus is on the protagonist of the story and the way Ignatius was acted out in a memorable way. The image of a ridiculous misfit who sees himself at the center of the world is created by placing Ignatius in the center of the play, where all the rest of the characters serve to highlight the most striking qualities of the protagonist. This source is relevant for the research as it provides insights into the traits of Ignatius’s character.

Introduction Becoming a mom is an extraordinary experience, full of excitement and happiness. Nine months of pregnancy for a woman is a lifetime, during which there is a unique communication with the child, and maternal feelings are formed. The process of giving birth to a baby can and should be one of the most significant and bright moments in life for a woman in labor. To do this, every woman needs to prepare for this magnificent event. Although the birth of a child carries some painful sensations, the birth of a baby can still be the happiest moment in a woman’s life. Main body Undoubtedly, in my case, childbirth has become one of the most painful but happiest events in my life. The birth of a child takes place in three stages, the first of which is the process of opening the cervix. Mencarini et al. state that it begins when contractions become regular and end with the complete opening of the cervix, and this stage is one of the most painful (7). When the cervix was fully opened and the baby was ready to pass through the birth canal, I was inspired and supported by the realization that very soon, I would see my child and receive my reward for my labors. The second stage is associated with the child’s passage through the birth canal; it begins after the complete opening of the cervix and ends with the birth of a child (Downe et al. 12). It also causes quite a lot of discomfort and physical pain. The last stage is the expulsion of the placenta. It usually goes away quickly and painlessly compared to the previous two. For me, the primary source of joy was the knowledge of an imminent meeting with my baby, the realization that his first birthday would take place very soon. The completion of pleasure comes at every stage of a child’s life: when he begins to look, walk, talk and laugh. The baby’s birth was an unforgettable moment and very happy not only for me but also for many mothers. It must be said that childbirth is a physiological process, and, as everyone knows, no physiological function in our body is accompanied by pain, except for complications caused by illness, fear, and tension. Accordingly, in the presence of a positive psychological mood for childbirth, the absence of anxiety and stress, a woman rarely experiences significant discomfort during childbirth (Bayat et al. 2). Thus, the main idea that every woman should learn is that a positive attitude to childbirth, knowledge, and mastery of relaxation methods during childbirth is the key to a happy birth. All women have the same scenario of development. However, each woman has her version of the scenario. Moreover, if a woman gives birth for the first time, all she feels is a new experience. Therefore, they talk about a situation of some uncertainty in childbirth. Women will need courage and willingness to make decisions according to the problem, here and now (Nejad et al. 1082). A woman needs to work hard mentally and show self-control and patience, but p
