COVID-19 is an acronym whereby ‘CO’ refers to corona, ‘VI’ for the virus, and ‘D’ for disease and “-19” is the year when the first case was reported. Previously, COVID-19 was known as “2019 novel coronavirus” or “2019-nCoV.” The COVID-19 virus is connected to the same type of infections as “Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome” (SARS) and some kinds of a common cold.

Also, when one comes into contact with surfaces that are contaminated with the virus, and…
Definition of Product Life Cycle The product life cycle refers to the process a product goes after it is first introduced into the market up to a point when it is declining or when it is removed from the market. The product life cycle is applicable in the choice of strategic alternatives on the basis of the stages undergone by services and products. The product lifecycle has four significant stages, which comprise; introduction, growth, maturity, and decline. The product life cycle has two significant strengths which comprise of; giving room for the marketing managers to be able to check which stage they are in and make appropriate changes in their marketing strategies. The other strength of the product lifecycle is giving room for managers to be able to avoid pitfalls of different stages by carrying out a comparison with other products that are in the same stage. The weaknesses of product lifecycle comprise of; providing a clear picture. In some cases, a product’s sales might not always rise beyond the introduction stage, or it might enter into a decline stage…
Peacemakers Project: Proposal Conflicts occur in many settings, such as school, family, and workplace. At a family level, conflicts happen when siblings or members of the extended family have beliefs and views that clash. While some people are able to solve family conflicts peacefully, others hold grudges for years. Lack of respect for other people’s points of view is a significant hindrance to peaceful conflict resolution. I am a victim of unresolved conflict with my younger brother, which I attribute to sibling rivalry and differences in individual temperament.. Whenever I reflect on my relationship with my younger brother, I tend to believe that some people are lucky to become the best of friends with their younger or elder siblings. As Pendley (2016) observes, sibling rivalry is normal and starts in childhood years as kids compete for attention and toys. However, this rivalry is supposed to end as children mature. I disagree with this fact as the rivalry between my younger brother and me is still evident even in our adult years. What started as regular childhood fights have graduated to…
What are the causes and common symptoms of cachexia? Cachexia is the condition that leads to progressive muscle wasting and weight loss. It is the symptom of multiple life-threatening conditions like multiple sclerosis, HIV, chronic renal failure, and cancer. People suffering from cachexia start losing weight even after eating adequately. It is a more commonly seen disease than what one might think, and it needs more research to know the details of this syndrome. From what is known yet about the disorder, the following are the common causes and symptoms of cachexia. Causes of cachexia You might be wondering What Causes Cachexia? The interaction of multiple factors can cause cachexia. People suffering from it have abnormal levels of particular substances in the body, which leads to muscle wasting and weight loss. The substances interact with each other in a way that prevents muscle growth, causes inflammation, increases muscle breakdown, and increases metabolism. The potential causes of cachexia are still getting studied by scientists, though tumors might be one of the main causes behind it. The symptoms of cachexia Let’s move…
Unpleasant symptoms and life-changing conditions Unpleasant symptoms and life-changing conditions usually accompany menopause. Some may choose to tough it out, but it is reasonable to want to seek help. Menopause, in itself, has no treatment. Available remedies are there to manage symptoms and disorders that may also be due to lifestyle choices and aging. First, make sure you consult a doctor to take FSH and TSH tests. Sometimes hypothyroidism has menopause-like symptoms. If hypothyroidism is ruled out, hormonal therapy and antidepressants are known to manage hot flashes. Your doctor will know whether you need long-term or short-term estrogen therapy based on different parameters. Vaginal estrogen is suitable for vaginal dryness. Medical conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure, or osteoporosis have to be managed as soon as you notice the symptoms. Consult your doctor on some medication because long-term usage of some remedies may lead to cancer or cardiovascular risks. It may also be time to make lifestyle changes and introduce some home remedies. You have to cut down triggers of hot flashes like caffeine, smoking, alcohol, etc. Also, find…
Being a Hero A person who places his life in danger at the expense of others, for example, individuals, communities, countries, or the entire world, is known as a champion. This act of heroism positively influences the concerned parties who are needy and improves the living standards of a community as a whole (Csikszentmihalyi et al., 249-261 ). As a result, the hero loses significant personal interests, for example, reputation, life, and freedom to ensure that other people maintain theirs and enjoy life. For one to become a hero, various factors exhibit their characteristics and act as motivation to other individuals who admire to be recognized as heroes. The hero, therefore, should be willing to accept the consequences of the action and sacrifice taken for others benefits Outcomes such as rejection, imprisonment, death, and physical injuries are among the examples of results of putting others’ life as a priority. Consequently, the champion should sacrifice voluntarily without expecting personal benefits, appreciation, or reward from the people of the community they take the risk on behalf. While sacrificing to save other people,…
the use of the FBI surveillance powers After the 2016 elections, perhaps one of the things that President Donald Trump has been vocal about is the use of the FBI surveillance powers. President Trump asserts that the FBI infiltrated his campaign and wiretapped his former campaign advisor. The president has always declared his adamancy to have the laws regarding the FBI surveillance powers changed, especially with the implications it had on the Russia investigation. This article discusses the impact of the Bill that was passed by the House that preserved the surveillance powers of the FBI. The Bill extended three expiring FBI tools that were important in investigating terrorism and espionage. However, civil libertarians among the Democrats and Republicans asserted that it did not protect the privacy of civilians from intrusion by the government machinery. Interestingly, the Bill was passed by a majority with both parties coming together to extend the expiring tools. The House also expected a similar outcome from the Congress. However, it is somewhat unclear whether the president would sign the bill into law or request for…

Early childhood development is a very sensitive stage Early childhood development is a very sensitive stage that children are able to acquire their optimal psycho-emotional and physical growth. Mostly this stage encompasses the social, physical, emotional, cognitive, and motor growth between zeros to eight years. From the chapter, I have learnt how children tend to think during their early childhood. Children start to feel at their early ages of about two and six years. At this specific stage, the children have not yet mastered the use of logical principles that are required in the thinking process. Thinking does not only occurs via the motor and the senses, but at times it incorporates the use of symbols such as using words, pictures, actions, and gestures to represent behaviors or things. When children are in the process of growing and developing, at the age of six, they experience some limitations of preoperational thought that otherwise makes their logic difficult. One of these limiting factors is the egocentrism factor. Egocentrism is a form of concentration that small children perceive and interprets actions from…
Psy 8763 D2 student 2 Rhonda Dreggors-Newport, according to your survey, during program evaluation, the members of staff can feel threatened for several reasons. Their feelings can be valid at some times. For example, when the program evaluation recommends for staff cuts, the staff can resist. That is because of the effect of reduction. In that regard, an evaluator has the responsibility of addressing the situation before they react. The condition occurs because of the program evaluators failing to involve the staff from the onset and even when they will be directly affected. In response to that, you recognize the strategies that can be used by the evaluators to minimize the conflict (King & Stevahn, 2013). The conflict can be addressed by recognizing the potential threat. In so doing, you will be obligated to be open up and communicate with the rest of the staff about the goals of the evaluation. Involving them can remove any negative feelings they may have about the process. You also observe that opting to use constructive methods of solving conflicts will help. That is…
