Describe the Latest Climate Change in the Pacific Ocean Within the Last Five Years

The developments in the pacific illustrate a significant shift in climatic developments. The Pacific region consists of over 2000 islands consisting of over 1.9 million people. The region consists of various marine ecosystems that range from mountain structures to marine life in the deep water. Each region in the pacific highlights the aspect of climatic conditions; however, the similarity is that each region is affected by the changes in climate conditions. Based on the information provided by the Pacific Island Regional Climate Assessment (PIRCA), there are several changes in climate conditions, which highlight the effect of global warming. (more…)

What is Health Information Management (HIM)? What is the Role of Health Electronic Records in HIM Nowadays?

Introduction

Health Information Management (HIM) is an important practice in the health sector. Managing health information plays a major role in ensuring that records are properly stored and can be retrieved whenever required by relevant authorities. In the past, HIM entailed the use of traditional paper work, in which patients’ health records were stored in hard copies. However, paper-based Health Information Management has since been replaced by the electronic system with a view of increasing efficiency. Research indicates that lack of proper health management system by various health institutions leads to many unnecessary deaths. According to the Institute of Medicine, almost 100,000 patients die annually in the US due to lack of complete patient information (Valerius, 2007). (more…)

In my recent political science essay, I was writing about principles of good leadership. The class readings focused on possible causes of the Arab Spring. Initially, I thought that activists who were not pleased by autocratic leadership in their countries instigated the uprising. However, I discovered that there were foreign forces behind the demonstrations.

Although there is a lot of information concerning the uprising, the mass media sources are the least effective. Newspapers, magazines, and television houses are telling ordinary stories that are biased to show that the governments of respective countries such as Syria, Egypt, and Libya among other countries affected by the uprising are to blame for the deaths of their people. In order to avoid bias, I had to use new strategies of looking for information. (more…)

Role and Actions of the International Community During Genocide in Rwanda

Introduction

Genocide is the unlawful act of destruction wholly or part of a certain religion, nation, or an ethnic group in a much deliberate or intended manner. The ultimate goal is to finish the members of the target religion, nation, or ethnic group by way of mass killing and other forms of property mass destruction (Chalk & Kurt, 1990, p87).

The Rwandan Genocide broke up from the two major ethnic groups in the country in April 1994, after several years of continued conflict between the two groups. The Hutus and the Tutsi developed different economic, political, and social perspectives in 1992, following a division spearheaded by then president, Habyarimana who was a Hutu. After a constant period of conflict, the Tutsi shot down president Habyarimana while he was travelling in his plane 1994. The two groups spontaneously lost the sense of humanity and decided to start the war. (more…)

Modern Philosophy Refutation of Berkeley by Dr. Samuel Johnson

Philosophy where it can be said to be the study of wisdom and truth. It is the usual expectation by many that those with extensive experience in philosophy will have more peace of mind than their unknowledgeable counterparts. On the contrary, it is widely the case that those considered as laymen are less disturbed mentally and are as such less of skeptics. They question less and take it easy with questionable knowledge and facts or ideas put forth by various scholars. Quest for knowledge on some of the common sense things sometimes ends up in new knowledge while at times it is an exercise in futility only bringing us back to the same starting point or even in a bigger confusion.

Amphetamine Use is Related to an Increase in Depression & Anxiety in School-aged Children

Introduction

Amphetamines are stimulants that reduce fatigue, and give the body a feeling of vigor within a short time. Medics discourage the use of amphetamines owing to the high addiction level. The dosage for adults is different from the dosage in children owing to the different capabilities of the body to sustain the tablets, crystals, or powder. People can smoke, sniff, or ingest amphetamines because of the packaging of the stimulants (Poirier, Micallef & Blin 2004). Amphetamine particles have many effects on people who use the substances and the reaction is almost double in school-aged children from childhood to teenage years, children face depression and anxiety, which amphetamines augment and pose risk in futuristic years.

Introduction to Urban Planning

1. Transportation planning: induced demand.  Think about traffic movement after some freeway constructions.

One of the key aspects that are being considered nowadays as part of Transportation Planning is “induced demand”. “Induced demand”, used particularly in transportation and urban planning perspective, is a phenomenon which focuses on how expansion of the transportation systems including construction of freeways, widening of roads, etc., instead of easing the traffic, would lead to more utilization by the users, thereby leading to more traffic congestions and urban sprawls. The freeway I-270, when laid in Washington, became the perfect example of “induced demand”, because after its construction greater number of people wanted to use it than earlier. With Washington becoming a highly congested area, people with their vehicles thronged this freeway and it led to more congestion on it. Likewise, Phoenix 40 also became a congested freeway due to further freeway additions, although it wanted to avoid those additions not wanting to become another Los Angeles. (more…)

Advertisements have changed the real picture and the reality of nature, as it is, is slowly fading in people’s mind. It portrays pictures of different people and sex differently – each sex has a role to play in making a specific advert. In this regard, it is possible that the kind of exposure people get from adverts about women can shape or distort our contact with reality. Women are portrayed in almost all ads to be beautiful and having fine bodies. Adverts related to lotions, hairstyles, and all body appliances portray women to be the most beautiful beings in the world. Everyone has seen naked pictures of some women advertising a product (Berger and Guiroz 178). The pictures portray women as very influential ones because they pull a crowd to the advert, which finally becomes a very big business. In almost all secular songs that musicians produce these days, naked women dancing to the music are believed to be the force that gangs support for the artist. (more…)

In the article Hearsay: the road to reform (Murphy), the author P. Murphy outlines the development of the hearsay rule and challenges the proposed reforms.

The non-conservative nature of this article is overwhelming. The author does not oppose new reforms to the general rule against hearsay, but rather the arm of government which should be mandated with the making of such reforms and the caution to be exercised when coming up with such reforms. He reviews the history of the hearsay rule and assesses arguments for reform.

The article suggests that the hearsay rule has not always been static. It has changed over time. It is a common law rule; it was developed by the judges in the English courts. (more…)
