Truman Doctrine

5896064246644527845

The Truman Doctrine was an American foreign policy whose stated purpose was to counter Soviet geopolitical expansion during the Cold War . It was first announced to Congress by President Harry S. Truman on March 12 , 1947 , and further developed on July 12 , 1948 , when he pledged to contain threats to Greece and Turkey . Direct American military force was usually not involved , but Congress appropriated financial aid to support the economies and militaries of Greece and Turkey . More generally , the Truman Doctrine implied American support for other nations allegedly threatened by Soviet communism . The Truman Doctrine became the foundation of American foreign policy , and led , in 1949 , to the formation of NATO , a military alliance that is still in effect . Historians often use Truman 's speech to date the start of the Cold War .

Name of Iran

-5689040390879198117

In the Western world , Persia ( or one of its cognates ) was historically the common name for Iran . On the Nowruz of 1935 , Reza Shah Pahlavi asked foreign delegates to use the term Iran , the endonym of the country , in formal correspondence . Since then , in the Western World , the use of the word `` Iran '' has become more common . This also changed the usage of the terms for Iranian nationality , and the common adjective for citizens of Iran changed from `` Persian '' to `` Iranian '' . In 1959 , the government of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi , Reza Shah Pahlavi 's son , announced that both `` Persia '' and `` Iran '' could officially be used interchangeably . However the issue is still debated today .

Malthusianism

-8297073975676315039

Malthusianism is the idea that population growth is potentially exponential while the growth of the food supply is arithmetical at best . It derives from the political / economic thought of the Reverend Thomas Robert Malthus , as laid out in his 1798 writings , An Essay on the Principle of Population , Malthus believed there were two types of `` checks '' that in all times and places kept population growth in line with the growth of the food supply : `` preventive checks '' , such as moral restraints ( abstinence , delayed marriage until finances become balanced ) , and restricting marriage against persons suffering poverty or perceived as defective , and `` positive checks '' , which lead to premature death : disease , starvation , war , resulting in what is called a Malthusian catastrophe . The catastrophe would return population to a lower , more `` sustainable '' , level . Malthusianism has been linked to a variety of political and social movements , but almost always refers to advocates of population control .

Legal status of tattooing in the United States

-1657506781151597516

In the United States , there is no federal law regulating the practice of tattooing . However , all 50 states and the District of Columbia have statutory laws requiring a person receiving a tattoo be 18 years or older . This is partially based on the legal principle that a minor can not enter into a legal contract or otherwise render informed consent for a procedure . Most states permit a person under the age of 18 to receive a tattoo with permission of a parent or guardian , but some states outright prohibit tattooing under a certain age regardless of permission , with the exception of medical necessity ( such as markings placed for radiation therapy ) .

Casta

7998673798938156126

A casta ( Spanish : ( ˈkasta ) ) was a term to describe mixed - race individuals in Spanish America , resulting from unions of European whites ( españoles ) , Amerindians ( indios ) , and Africans ( negros ) . Racial categories had legal and social consequences , since racial status was an organizing principle of Spanish colonial rule . During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries , European elites created a complex hierarchical system of race classification . The sistema de castas or the sociedad de castas was used in the 17th and 18th century in Spanish America and Spanish Philippines to describe as a whole and formally socially rank the mixed - race people who were born during the post-Conquest period . The process of mixing ancestries in the union of people of different races was known as mestizaje ( Portuguese : mestiçagem ( meʃtʃiˈsaʒẽj ) , ( mɨʃtiˈsaʒɐ̃j ) ) . In Spanish colonial law , mixed - race castas were classified as part of the república de españoles and not the república de indios , which set Amerindians outside the Hispanic sphere . Other terminology for classification is categorization based on the degree of acculturation to Hispanic culture , which distinguished between gente de razón ( Hispanics , literally , `` people of reason '' ) and gente sin razón ( non-acculturated natives ) , concurrently existed and supported the idea of the racial classification system . Castas is a Spanish word that is used in New Mexico history to describe pueblo people and New Mexicans .

2243646099608439735

Steroid hormone receptors are found in the nucleus , cytosol , and also on the plasma membrane of target cells . They are generally intracellular receptors ( typically cytoplasmic or nuclear ) and initiate signal transduction for steroid hormones which lead to changes in gene expression over a time period of hours to days . The best studied steroid hormone receptors are members of the nuclear receptor subfamily 3 ( NR3 ) that include receptors for estrogen ( group NR3A ) and 3 - ketosteroids ( group NR3C ) . In addition to nuclear receptors , several G protein - coupled receptors and ion channels act as cell surface receptors for certain steroid hormones .

Koch's postulates

-3964815727821333059

Koch 's postulates ( / ˈkɔːx / ) are four criteria designed to establish a causative relationship between a microbe and a disease .
