Human Nutrition: Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) Supplementation and Human Health The New Work/ Results Described in the article The new work described in the article on ”Antiaging supplements” is that humans consume various supplements to boost their body performance and to counter aging and improve health. The rapid growth in the number of older people led scientists to invent ways to slow down the aging process. Companies such as Chromax Dex and Elysium have taken advantage and manufactured precursors of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD), which is a metabolic molecule for the antiaging process (Shen, 2019). However, the intensifying use of the NAD+, its oxidized form, in the bloodstream has led to conflicting results. Studies conducted recently show that the ingestion of NAD supplements may result in cancer risks or lead to the robust growth of cancerous cells. Conflicting reports on research on the impact of using precursors of NAD, including Nicotinamide riboside(NR) and Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), shows positive benefits of increasing its levels. Elysium published that NR-supplements improved the health conditions of humans. The report stated that NR effectively treats…
Geography- Africa The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is the largest country in the sub-Saharan Africa region, with a population of about 80 million. Its capital city is Kinshasa, and they use Congolese Franc as their currency. DRC has over 250 ethnic groups with Bakongo, Mongo and Luba being the leading groups. The level of literacy is at 77% with a majority of people aged 15 above able to read and write Lingala, Kingwana and French.

Criminal Justice-Investigative Plan The investigative plan provides a plan of action that law enforcement agents will use in case of crime. Various steps will be taken by the security team to identify ways in which security can be beefed up based on the findings. The first step is to review the police reports that were written when the robbery was reported. Secondly, the witness that law enforcement will be reinterred viewed to identify the gaps that might be available in the report. Thirdly, reviewing forensic evidence that was gathered at the scene will be done. Further, the tactical analysis of the reports will be conducted to identify patterns of the robberies. The data gathered will then be synthesized in a way that patterns are drawn, such as time of entry, items stolen, street name, among others. These findings will then be submitted to the police officers whom they can add to their reports. Using the analyzed results, the security team will lease with police officers to help them with crime mapping resources that will help in pinning the criminal. Additionally,…
Rich and Poor Study Overview Peter Singer considers several facts about poverty, including its magnitude of the problems related to it (Singer, 2013). Many people suffer from deficiency diseases, which could have been mitigated by taking basics minerals, vitamins, and protein since they lack sufficient income for sustainability (Singer, 2013). He believes that the rich use their funds to get even richer as they forget about those who languish in poverty. In accounts of his blame, he introduces moral perspectives to understand the dimensions of ethics and the global poverty perception. However, several people criticize Singer’s views in accounts of theories, moral obligations, and ethics (Johnson, 2004). Singer blames affluent individuals, organizations, and government bodies for not providing the more to the poor, thus leaving them in absolute poverty. There are several other ideas shown by Singer revolving around moral obligations alongside facts of wealth and poverty. Singer’s View on Global Poverty Singer argues that malnutrition and lack of basic needs is the reason the poor cannot sustain themselves since lack of food would lead to diseases. Half the number…

Budget cuts Discussion Question Question 1. If you were a governor, would you make budget cuts across the board or use some special criteria (suggest some good ones) to pick and choose? Budget cutting has become one of the common and unpleasant tactics used by governors cross United States to confront some of the financial problems facing their states. Budget cuts allow governors to do more with less. As a governor I would not cut the budget across the board but instead use specific criteria including: freeing state hiring opportunities, Reduce retirement costs, Provide incentives for early retirement, Renegotiate labor contracts, Use technology to reduce fraud, abuse, and overpayments, and Sell or Lease Government Assets and Enterprises. The reason why I would use these criteria is because across-the-board cut would penalize the leanest and most efficient agencies. For instance, across-the-board cut will also impact Medicaid agencies which would affects millions of people who seek Medicaid services during difficult budget times like the one the state is currently facing. Besides, Medicaid is partially funded by the federal government. Question2. Depending on…
Dulce et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen Essay Question: Like Yusuf Komunyakaa’s “Hanoi Hanna,” Wilfred Owen’s “Dulce et Decorum Est” complicates the soldier’s relationship to his country. How does Owen combine poetic elements with factual details to bring out a tragic irony? Dulce et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs, And towards our distant rest began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots, But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind; Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots Of gas-shells dropping softly behind. Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time, But someone still was yelling out and stumbling And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime.— Dim through the misty panes and thick green light, As under a green sea, I saw him drowning. In all my dreams before my helpless sight, He plunges at me, guttering,…
