Fear and stigmatization by others make their life unbearable as they struggle to fit in the society. Two of Buttler’s fiction stories reveal some critical issues...
Heat is defined as the measure of the amount of thermal or kinetic energy in a body. Heat transfer is therefore the movement of the kinetic energy from one part of the body to another. This movement is usually due to a temperature gradient brought about by a difference in...
Introduction When it comes to the formation of a unique environmental unit, a holobiont can link an individual host to a variety of interactive microorganisms, and microbiota (Bachmann et al. 2017). According to Casadevall and Pirofski (2014), the holobiont relationship explores the connection between microbiome and microbiota. Microbiomes refer to...
The process of DNA transcription takes place in several stages, during which RNA is first recorded, information from which organizes amino acids into proteins. As a result, the same sequences are transmitted in the cells, preserving certain traits. DNA must be copied and transferred to daughter cells with a vast...
The CFTR gene has multiple alterations, which means that the delta-F08 mutation is not the only known one. By the research, and resting on the information provided in the table, there are many other mutations of the CFTR gene that might cause the appearance and development of the disease (Freeman...
Summary The article understudy is devoted to the topic of genetic association and the prognosis of phenotypic characters. In practice, the probability of successfully measuring these parameters depends on the exact determination of the human phenotype (Wollstein, et al., 2017). The study focuses on such a topic as human iris...
Proxima C has 22 Earth days between sunrises and human beings living underground; therefore, this suggests that most of the time, the people will be in dark conditions. On a human being on Earth, the alternation of day and night is essential to inducing rhythms that affect several physiological functions....
Chapter 16. Statistics are used in a variety of ways in the process of evaluation. Which statistics to choose depends on the level of measurement used for coding the phenomena of interest (nominal or ordinal). The chapter concerns the selection of the statistical techniques. The first part discusses descriptive and...
Introduction Sampling is extremely important for conducting research in education, as it can have a significant effect on the research outcome. A sample is a collection of elements meant to represent a population under analysis. While the best research strategy is to conduct a census, which is a study of...
Introduction The social life of humankind is undoubtedly the most saturated, diverse, and conscious in comparison with other creatures living on the planet Earth. Unlike plants and animals, humans have a self-consciousness that allows them to manage their own lives and think critically. This superb acquisition gives the individual the...
The adequate knowledge of discipline-specific language skills and strategies, as well as the use of conventions, is fundamental for providing proper writing to inform or educate the targeted audience. The three articles by Epstein, Hopton, and Katzman, discuss the issue of eating disorders, specifically anorexia nervosa. As such, Katzman’s article...
Abstract Evaluating research and determining its legitimacy is an important step in advancing the exploration of a specific issue and developing a strong and vast system of knowledge on the subject. However, to assess the legitimacy of a specific study, one needs to take multiple variables into account and determine...
The famous Pythagoras of Samos was a Greek mathematician and philosopher and lived about 2.5 thousand years ago. Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the squared hypotenuse – the largest side opposite the right angle – is equal to the sum of the squared legs – two smaller...
Ideal delivery systems for gene therapy should be safe and efficient. Non-viral DNA transposons and retro-transposons have been successfully applied in mammalian gene transfer in vitro. For example, the Sleeping Beauty (SB) system has been utilized to generate transgenic mouse models. A more versatile tool developed recently for mutagenesis is...
Throughout her life, the author has been confronted with ideas — broadcasted by teachers and parents, among others — about the inability to restore nervous tissue. Thus, the adults tried to show how harmful to be nervous so such opinions can be perceived as protection, but as it turned out,...
Blood vessels in the body and their function There are five types of blood vessels. These are the veins, arteries, capillaries, venules, and arterioles. The arteries take blood away from the heart, they also provide oxygenated blood to the body cells. Arteries branch into smaller vessels called arterioles, which help...
It would be challenging for humans to live on Mars for a large number of reasons. Cabrol and Grin (2018) cite “low and widely varying temperature, low atmospheric pressure, low water activity, and high ultraviolet and ionizing radiation” as the primary causes of the planet’s inhospitality. To enable life on...
Response to Erwina’s Post Erwinia chose the lenses of social sciences and natural sciences and sufficient details are to support this choice. I agree that social sciences lenses will play a central role in gathering, analyzing, and interpreting information from a socio-economic perspective for educational services. I also chose the...
There is a widespread belief among people that self-awareness and control are responsible for all actions taken. However, in reality, some behavioral patterns and motives are controlled not by consciousness at all, but by the work of neurotransmitters. In other words, not all actions and decisions are controlled by a...
Introduction The evolution theory is an umbrella of three ideas that Charles Darwin came up with. These are “microevolution”, which is the genetic build-up of an organism as it mutates. This occurs due to natural mistakes in the reproduction of the next generation and thus a difference in the next...
Multifactorial or complex diseases can stem from several factors as it becomes clear from the title. It may be a genetic impairment or unhealthy lifestyle habits, inheritance, or a combination of them. For example, heart disease can be called multifactorial because there can be many issues that cause the heart...
The First Article Purpose and Scope The research in question was explorative in nature, so the authors instead of arguing produced several hypotheses and tested them in order to uncover new information about the topic. Their purpose was to investigate the leadership preferences in representatives of different nationalities in contrast...
Bilateral is a hypothetical organism, Urbilateria, and was the last common ancestor of Deuterostomia (echinoderms and the various chordate phyla) and Protostomia also referred to us higher animals. Classically, these two groups, the Deuterostomia, and Protostomia differed in a number of respects. Some of these characteristics have been challenged recently,...
External or internal radiation can penetrate the human cell to the nucleus and initiate ionization or trigger water radiolysis. The effect can be cell malfunction, Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) break, apoptosis, cancer development, or the affected person’s death. Accordingly, this essay evaluates how radiation can affect a person on molecular and...
Introduction Research papers and reports published in peer-reviewed journals are the main sources of information in modern science. They focus on data, experiments, and results of the performed studies. Understanding them requires basic background knowledge of the subject and being familiar with a scholarly article’s structure. This paper presents the...
All organisms consist of cells that are the basic units of life. Every cell is a complex structure that includes various fewer components. These elements are called organelles, and cells use them to perform specific jobs. There are many organelles, and cilia are among their number. This research paper will...
The history of science is only linear if one ignores the fascinating achievements of various ancient civilizations. Nevertheless, if one assumes a Eurocentric perspective, there is a certain logic to the progression of innovation throughout modernity. While they might not seem interconnected, great discoveries only happen when humanity’s accumulated knowledge...
