Scientific Thinking and Metacognition Introduction Scientific thinking is the purposeful thinking about any scientific content, subject or problem whose objective is to enhance the thinker’s knowledge (Akerson, et al 2018). This means that scientific thinking is not something people have; it is something they do. Metacognition simply means what you know about your own thoughts and it includes the ability to think about your own thinking. Scientific thinking relates to intelligence testing in that the latter is used to determine the intelligence quotient of a scientist by assessing their achievements in intellectual developments. On the other hand, the concept of metacognition is linked with learning theories and is equated with the construction of self-regulated learning in terms of problem solving and learning evaluations (Kaufman A.S 2018). The evidence shows that there is a close relationship between scientific thinking and metacognition which helps to achieve the school goals for both middle and late childhood education. According to Harper (2018), the Tribrachic theory of intelligence classifies intelligence in to three; the analytic skills, the practical skill and the creativity. However, Sternberg asserted…
Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory According to the theory, there should be a deliberate effort by an individual patient and the nurse in achieving the desired healthcare outcomes (Orem, 2017). The approach is anchored on various concepts that are aimed at improving healthcare practice in a manner consistent with the desire to self-care among the patients or as induced by the nurse. Orem’s self-care deficit nursing theory is anchored in several assumptions, such as both self-care and dependent care are learned behaviors within a given socio-cultural context (Orem, 2017). Again, it holds that nursing is an interaction between two parties, and achieving any desirable outcome needs a collective responsibility between the parties (Sharifi et al., 2017). The theory also rides on the assumption that an individual’s knowledge of probable health problems is vital in promoting self-care behaviors in society (Orem, 2017). Concerning the self-care deficit, nursing is critical when an individual is unable or incapable of providing effective and continuous self-care. Based on the assertions of the Orem’s theory in nursing, it could play an essential role in improving the…

We will begin to our pest control methods, or if we are not master in pest controls, then we are more likely to call for a professional pest control service. There are various stages in pest formation from which one can decide on ‘do it yourself’ or to call for professionals. Before that, we all should be aware of the growth of pests. Because in each stage of the cycle of the pest, the impact on the materials or environment will differ. Example: A wood-boring beetle is a pest that causes severe damages to furniture in our workplace or home. The wood-boring beetle’s life cycle starts from egg, larva, pupa, and adult. In this case, egg and adult stages of life will not have any impact on the furniture, but larva and pupa are dangerous. They will start damaging your furniture continuously. Below are few points to…

People have a right to Death with Dignity Assisted by the Medical Professionals This claim gives a discourse to an issue of policy because it brings to attention the question of compassion and necessity and medical ethics. The petition earnestly persuades the general audience to take a keen initiative on the issue of whether to allow a patient to die in dignity. That those in the medical profession have a duty to assist patients to die in the manner, they so wish, especially if they are suffering a terminal disease. A substantiation issue is as well subtly implanted in this claim in the sense that assisting a patient to die can be seen as a form of Physician-Assisted Suicide (PAS). An issue of evaluation partly comes into this claim because a physician makes available a lethal substance to a terminal patient, who takes the lethal substance by themselves. If the patient is not capable of doing it themselves, the physician does it upon their request which involves administering the lethal substance to the patient hence terminating their lives. As regards…
TREATY OF VERSAILLES Introduction The Treaty of Versailles was the major peace treaty among the rest that led to the end of World War. Archduke`s Franz Ferdinand assassination was the main reason for the start of World War I. Although the armistice saw the end of the war, negotiations to draft the Treaty at the Paris Peace Conference took about six months. In October 1919, the League of Nations secretariat registered the treaty. The Treaty of Versailles led to the end of World war I this research aim at obtaining the contents of the treaty including the reasons for signing the treaty and also the lessons learnt from the treaty. The most important provision of the treaty was Article 231(Bosco, Bosco & Bowman, 2010). This article would later be called the “War Guilt Clause.” The Article ordered that Germany was to accept responsibilities for damages and losses incurred during the war. The treaty also required Germany to surrender all its weapons, make amends and give reparations the Entente powers. The total cost of the reparations in 1921, was evaluated to…
Women Roles Introduction The roles of women in society today have had a tremendous change and are making a great impact in the society. Originally, women’s contribution to society was only limited to taking care of their houses and their households while the men took control of everything else. Women have advanced in many aspects subsequently gaining power in political and professional arenas. Roles have interestingly changed from one generation to the other. For instance, more women are graduating from college as compared to the past where they would be force to get a job after schooling for a short while. The change in societal roles for women is impacted by the fact that women are now educating themselves and forming their own rights movements to fight for their economic, social and political status. Modernization and technology have also opened up new possibilities for women’s improvement around the world. There has been a major change in the structure of most families that have been paralleled by alterations in gender roles especially for the women. Women are more included in…
Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) Worley, Yang, and Fisher (2017), in their research, designed a model to seek clarification on the exposure of water to serum PFOA concentration as a result of PFOA manufacture. The model was specific to humans, and it includes simulations by Monte Carlo to establish the variability on sensitive model parameters. The authors hypothesize that variability in human serum PFOA concentration as a result of historical exposure to non-drinking sources (Worley, Yang, and Fisher, 2017). The importance of the model was to help in the determination of exposure and effectiveness of mitigation mechanisms. Cheng and NG (2017), in their student, adopt the use of a model limited to permeability in the analysis of toxic kinetics with a specific interest in masculine mice. The model focuses on cellular acceptance and buildup of PFOA through membrane facilitated transportation and passive diffusion. After a comparison of the prediction model with the experimental data, the researchers established the effectiveness of their method in predicting PFOA distribution in rats when the toxins got administered orally or intravenously. This framework got noted as…
The Persistence of Memory The Persistence of Memory is a painting by Salvador Dali done in 1931. Salvador Dali is a surrealist and has a keen interest to explore the unconscious mind. In the Persistence of Memory, he utilizes the surrealism tenants to bring out an iconic painting. The painting consists of a soft watch or a melting clock, a deformed face, a flying insect, and an ant. The soft watch represents a melting milk cheese draping over a hard surface which symbolizes the unpredictable movement of time. Deformed face in the picture is Dali’s self-portrait, more like a fade image that one sees in a dream where the dreamer cannot precisely show the creatures form or composition. The golden clock is covered with ants that symbolize decay. The paints signify how irrelevant and useless our concept on time is inside a dream state. That is why the pocket watch is melting away since it has no power in the dream world. Surrealist believe that the rational mind represses humans from the power of imagination and weight it down with…
Rhetorical analysis on “Alexander Hamilton’s ‘The thing is a dream’ (June 1788” speech Introduction Alexander Hamilton’s historic speech, among other American Founding Father’s speeches, is increasingly receiving significant attention over the recent past. However, the recognition that the rhetoric of American founding Fathers receives could be more due to the fact that they are the closest history to when rhetoric made sense in contemporary drama. The sentiment does not, however, mean to ignore the immense contribution of the rhetoric speeches of the founding legislators in shaping American History. Of course, winning Independence, establishing the Union, and the creating of a functional system of government are all immense achievements that was results of speeches like Alexander Hamilton’s ‘the thing is a dream’ speech of 20th June 1788. Instead, the sentiments mean that modern literature has lost the need for rhetoric in construction of speech. Therefore, eroded the culture that our founding fathers build our society upon. Alexander Hamilton is one of the most celebrated Founding Fathers of American History because of his role in shaping the American economy the vast exploitable…
