Climate change and extinction Scientific and historical examination of the extinction of different ecological organisms indicates that human activities have played a significant role in recent extinctions. However, earlier forms of recent extinctions such as the Pleistocene suggest that climate change could also have been a substantial contributor to the ecological phenomenon. However, evidence from Islands like New Zealand and Madagascar shows that since the arrival of humans in the Islands about 1000 years ago, several ecological extinctions have occurred (Sam Noble Museum, 2017). Human activities cause the extinction of several organisms from their ecological habitats in three specific ways. First, they cause extinction through overexploitation in the form of hunting and fishing. The clearing of land for farming and human settlement has also led to the disappearance of several species of organisms from their ecological habitats (Barbier, Burgess & Folke, 2019). Additionally, human being’s genetic modifications of different plants and animals have also led to the extinction of some plant and animal species. Economic growth is the epicenter of human activities. In essence, all human activities in one or…
CLINICAL APPLICATIONS OF TEFLON MESH Teflon mesh is a semi-crystalline, thermoplastic material that is highly resistant to chemicals and acids. The material, however, is not completely heat resistant. Manufacturers of Teflon typically make it lightweight. While it features an extremely high impact strength, it is its stiffness that makes it a viable option in hospitals. Furthermore, it has a higher melting point in contrast to both Polyester and Polypropelene and boasts superb dielectric qualities. It serves a host of purposes in the medical world, which include: Construction of Urinary Catheter When it comes to catheters, doctors prefer those that are Teflon-meshed. The adoption of Teflon as the material of choice, as medical experts claim, is the toxicity linked to the production, utilization, and disposal of PVC. Teflon offers dimensional stability and clarity, which means patients can view the urine with ease. The material is relatively smooth, and some brands may even have an antibacterial lining applied. Teflon’s low coefficient friction makes it ideal for catheter lining so that the latter can be inserted seamlessly and without causing any discomfort…
Amazon Drone Delivery Introduction The manual shipping of goods from the warehouse store to customers can be very intriguing at times. There can be mixed up of deliveries, undone deliveries, or missed deadlines. With the recent rise in technology, this can quickly be done with if there are better means of delivery. This is, for example, the use of delivery drones. This is a technology that shipping companies should go for. The Amazon delivery drone would be a perfect fit for this. This idea was developed in the university technical laboratory after realizing that most shipping companies were having a hard time shipping goods or making deliveries to their clients.

They also have to ensure that they communicate with the sellers on sure reviews from clients, get addresses, names, contacts, and so on. They, therefore, need a reliable operating system for the running of the business. When making deliveries, Amazon uses cargo flights, vehicles, ships,…
“The Case of Plant Relocation” Ethical issues refer to the standards which a business subscribes to and which help them distinguish between right and wrong and define their cause of actions morally. Lohrey (n.d) asserts that the company has ethical obligations in staffing related issues, health, and safety in the work environment, eliminating conflict of interests to their environment and so forth. A review of the Electrocorp case shows that there are several ethical issues that arise in their operations and their decision to relocate to other third world countries. These issues include compensation packages and their ability to meet the needs of their staff. The second ethical issue deals with safety regulations in their operations. This is a critical issue given the fact that the company deals with dangerous solvents, which must be handled with extreme care. As such, the company faces the ethical problem of ensuring that they provide protection and safety procedures for its staff. The third moral issue is the company’s obligation to ensure environmental protection. Electrocorp, therefore, is obligated to ensure that they do not…

THE THREE TYPES OF PUBLIC POLICY DISCUSSION There are three main basic types of public policies that were explored in this week’s reading. They include Distributive, Redistributive, and Regulatory. The strategies were developed in various ways, and they also impact our daily life in different ways. Considering the distributive policy, this policy is mainly concerned by the distribution and provision of services to the public. It happened when a local highway was built in a small town in Northern California. The road was established through a tunnel to allow access to the main road that eased congestion and traffic for commuters. The Redistributive policy, on the other hand, deals with fostering equality in terms of an opportunity to the public. It involves a situation when the resources in a society are distributed to various groups who require assistance to economically function effectively. Lastly, the Regulatory policy mainly limits the discrimination of individuals in a society. It occurs where the cost is concentrated on a smaller number of people, but the benefits are seen over a larger population. RESPONSE ONE The…

Response paper PETER DOAS, Thank you for your post, which expressed your political compass score. In your test, you scored economic -3.26 and authoritarianism -4.50. This score represents you as a left-libertarian, located near Gandhi, who believes in the supreme value of each individual. I would identify yourself as conservative in the English sense. Still, You do have some reasonably leftish views on keeping an eye on the suspicious activities of multi-national corporations, workers’ rights in general, and environmental issues. I agree with your indication of how Left libertarians believe in individual freedom, equal rights, and the government protecting its citizens. They are also opposed to the idea of private ownership of land, oil, and other natural resources, which affects equality in society. On the other hand, you have shown how they defend civil liberties like equal rights for homosexuals, endorse drug decriminalization, open borders, and oppose most military (Magstadt, T. M. 2017). You believe the individual should have personal freedom apart from authority unless the authority is justified. The burden remains on the authority figure to show it is…
