In the movie “Parasite” by Bong Joon-ho uses different tones and genres In the movie “Parasite” by Bong Joon-ho uses different tones and genres have been used to define the theme of the film. Art cinema has definition has been confined in traditional meaning of what an art cinema should contain specific features to be classified as an art cinema. However, Parasite, Bong Jon Ho refutes this claim because the film contains different tones and genres and does not contain any specific genre as he does not classify the movie using a particular element, which shows how contemporary art cinema has incorporated new ways of defining art cinema. The tone of the Parasite films can be classified as dramatic, scary, and funny because it incorporates both realistic views of the character’s lives, such as their class, but still offers comic elements about the character’s actions. The scary tone is depicted in the end of the film where it turns bizarre when Kim cannot take the humiliation from Mr. Park and goes on kill him in a bizarre manner (Joon-Ho, 2019,…
DOMS affect people differently depending on their age, sex and level of fitness Aaron defines an eccentric muscle contraction as the “stretching of a muscle in response to an opposing force on that muscle when the opposing force is greater than the muscles current force production.” Eccentric actions during exercise may “stretch the sarcomeres to a point where the myofilaments experience sarcomere damage referred to as exercise-induced delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS)” (Aaron). DOMS affect people differently depending on their age, sex and level of fitness, therefore, as a personal trainers I would consider these factors before selecting an eccentric action regimen for my clients. For very fit clients, who use their one-repetition maximum (1-RM) numbers to measure their strength, I would encourage them to use a supramaximal load during the eccentric phase of their lifting so that they can increase their 1-RM numbers. Researchers have found that applying a heavier-than-1-RM weight during the eccentric period of a lift can increase 1-RM. (Aaron) This exercise training would also help them improve their sub-maximal weights for sustained exercises. For unfit clients, I…
Reply to Soseh Babayan Hey Soseh, Thanks for sharing your post with the class. I noticed you had used credible sources of information to back up your arguments. I was interested in your choice of Provision 2 of the Code of Ethics for Nurses, and I agree that nurses’ priority is to be committed to the patient and advocating for them can be an effective way of doing so. According to Kourkouta & Papathanasiou (2014), excellent communication skills are vital in the achievement of improved outcomes and patient-centred care; hence nurses are required to emulate it effectively. References Kourkouta, L., & Papathanasiou, I. V. (2014). Communication in nursing practice. Materia socio-medica, 26(1), 65. Reply to Nvard Asatryan Danayan Hey Nvard, I like your choice of Provision 1 since it emphasizes on providing quality and safe healthcare to every person with compassion and respect for the inherent dignity. Discriminating patients, due to their social class, is not expected from professional nurses. Provision 1 of the Code of Ethics for Nurses also emphasizes diversity by providing healthcare to all ethnic…
Tinea capitis (Scalp Ringworm) You see a 9-year-old male who presents with a white, scaly patch on the back of his head. There is some alopecia in the area with hair breakage noted at the scalp. Tinea capitis (Scalp Ringworm) Based on the information provided in this case study, I believe that this child may be suffering from Tinea capitis (Scalp Ringworm). Tinea capitis is a common infection of the scalp caused by dermatophyte fungi and occurring mainly in children between five and ten years (Rayala BZ & Morrell DS, 2017). It is a highly contagious fungal infection of the scalp, with extension to the eyebrows and eyelashes. The clinical manifestations of tinea capitis range from as mild scaling with little hair loss to extensive alopecia, patchy hair loss, scaling, or scalp inflammation with positive direct microscopic examination and positive culture. The lesion spreads, forming numerous papules in a typical ring form. Ring-shaped lesions may coalesce with other infected areas (Fuller LC, Barton RC, Mohd Mustapa MF, et al., 2014). The area affected is usually limited, but occasionally, a large…
Health care administrators A hospital’s core mandate is to offer quality healthcare to its patients. To achieve this, the hospital has to record patient’s data, including age, gender, race and ethnicity. It will form a baseline for reference, and it becomes part of the patient medical record. In an ageing population, this information will help the healthcare team communicate effectively with patients and understand their culture, which is a contributing factor to their wellness. The hospital’s purpose to collect patient’s data to enable it to plan for the future. Planning entails the type of services to offer, the number of nursing aides it will require, and the type of equipment to procure. It will also help in planning procurement for medicine. The ageing population will most likely have similar age-related conditions, so the hospital will be able to cater to their needs through efficient and rational medicine procurement. The literacy level must be put into consideration. thus, it will help determine the type of care to give. The household size will evaluate the number of people seen. Indication for the…
Canada comprises of different cultures indicative of the aspects of multiculturalism As a country, Canada comprises of different cultures indicative of the aspects of multiculturalism and diversity exemplified in its societal framework. Nonetheless, the representation of other cultures or groups is still inadequate, as depicted in Kim’s Convenience. The lack of adequate representation does not negate the fact that many immigrants from different cultures call Canada home. Nonetheless, media platforms have still not managed to represent such diversity. Very few videos and print media have touched on the experiences of immigrant groups based on the concepts of diversity and multiculturalism. Some of the media that speak to their experiences and form the basis of this paper are Kim’s Convenience, Pyaasa, and Letters from my Grandma. Such representation must be captured by such works, as will be seen later in this paper. As the population of immigrants and other ethnic groups in Canada increases, the limitations as to their representation in media platforms must be tackled. Even though such contents are mainly created by the immigrant or ethnic groups themselves, they…
Water is very important when we consider the survival of living organisms Water is very important when we consider the survival of living organisms. However, what is strange enough is that we know nothing about its origin and how it came to form oceans and lakes. In early stages of our education, most of the teaching about water were mostly based on water cycle which involves water evaporation from water sources, condensation resulting to formation of clouds and finally, the clouds released the water to refill oceans, and all these processes were sensible only for one thing: None of these processes illuminated us on how water was formed and deposited to the oceans and atmosphere or when. The origin of water and oceans remain to be a debatable topic among many scholars. The most recognized concept is that billions of years ago, the earth was bombarded by comets, asteroids and icy particles and this process led to the ice being released to both the atmosphere and the earth surface to for lakes, oceans etc. (Pepin, 1991). Regardless of these scientific…
A pilot case-control study about volatile organic compounds in exhaled breath in primary sclerosing cholangitis Abstract Main Outcome Measurements Selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry was used to analyze the concentration of the subjects prevalent VOCs in bile samples. Logistic regression analysis was performed to build a predictive model for the diagnosis of CCA. Four studies examined VOCs in gastric and colorectal cancers showing a change in metabolic biomarkers of cancer patients compared to the control group. VOC analysis in the study ensured that the differences are highlighted in the lifestyle as well as the metabolism of individuals. Refinement and continuous improvement of analytical tools allowed better detection and quantifying of the core constructs, thus enabling the discovery of a broader spectrum of pathophysiology and diseases’ biomarkers. Results Numerous compounds (ethanol, acrylonitrile, acetonitrile, acetaldehyde, benzene, carbon disulphide, dimethyl sulphide, and 2-propanalol) were considerably different in patients with IBD complicating PSC compared with PSC and IBD. (P<.05). The model [2.3239* log (acrylonitrile) + 0.9871*log (3-methylhexane) + 0.8448*log (benzene)] < −0.12 identified the patients with IBD [area under the curve (AUC=0.89)], with…

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons PAHs Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, abbreviated as PAHs, belong to a group of chemical compounds with unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbons. These compounds are found in cigarette smoke. Their presence in the environment can be detected by spectroscopic instruments used to analyze chemical substances. At different wavelengths, they exhibit specific energy transitions that can be represented in the form of the emission, absorption, or excitation spectrum. Literature Review This class of compounds has a negative impact on and human beings. Their presence in the environment poses a human health risk due to their carcinogenic properties (Agency for toxic substances and Disease Registry [ATSDR], 1995). Therefore, their detection is of importance to monitor and control their exposure to the environment. The detection of PAHs relies on three primary spectroscopic techniques that utilize the behavior of PAHs particles. When these particles are exposed to energy, they get excited and yield absorption, fluorescence, or excitation spectrum (Douglas et al., 2006). Depending on their behavior, they can be detected through analysis of the spectrum obtained in spectroscopic instruments. Generally, PAHs absorb energy in the…
