Is your dog showing changes in behavior recently? Is your dog showing changes in behavior recently? Is it droopy and moody, or could it be showing signs of unknown disease? In case you are suspecting Addison’s disease, here is an insight into identifying the condition your dog could be suffering. Addison’s disease in dogs is difficult to diagnose due to the wide range of symptoms it depicts. It is often referred to as the great imitator. A Dog with Addison’s may experience bouts of gastroenteritis, dullness, low appetite, and poor response to stress. A notable trait also is the waxing and waning trait of the symptoms of Addison’s disease. The reduction in levels of aldosterone produced has a pronounced impact on the dog’s health. It results in a decrease in levels of potassium, chloride, and sodium in serum, which in turn leads to complications in the heart and general circulatory system. The other major steroid hormone whose production is affected by Addison’s is called Cortisol. The hormone plays a significant role in the dog’s health, such as regulating metabolism, the…

Diets influence on people’s behavior and health Feeding is a critical part of any child or infant. The diet of every child or infant differs from one child to the other. The majority of the parents or caregivers offer children a diet that is easily accessible and affordable to them and give little or no consideration to what they give to the children. The study will unravel how people’s diet affects their behavior. The study will particularly reveal that unhealthy foods harm the development of a child both mentally and physically. 40% of the world’s children and infants do not have access to a proper diet (WHO, 2018). Another 1% to 2% has malnutrition and do not have any access to any feeding program or diet (WHO, 2018). Another close to 10% are overfed and, therefore, overweight (WHO, 2018).   Even though most of the dietary issues are usually temporary, the social, emotional, and cognitive abilities of the children may be affected by the lack of a proper diet. The effects can be seen during adolescence, late childhood, and at times…

Terms used to describe deviant behavior in children and teens   Juvenile delinquency is a term used to describe a situation in which a minor or a person aged between 10 to 18 years has committed a crime or broken the law. When a person below 18 years of age breaks the law, this is not called a crime as is the case with adults. Rather, criminal acts committed by minors are referred to as delinquent acts. Instead of undergoing trials, minors who break the law undergo adjudication then they receive a disposition which is followed by a sentence. Acts of juvenile delinquency are divided into two. First, actions which would be considered a crime if an adult did them in particular serious crimes such as homicide. Second, actions which would not be considered a crime if carried out by adults such as staying up past bedtime or failing to attend school (Regoli et al., 2016). Antisocial behavior is a term which covers a wide variety of socially unacceptable behavior that has the potential to cause harm to an individual,…

Ultimatum game behaviors Unfair offers in many animals elicited activity in the brain areas related to both emotion and cognition. Before we tackle that we also note that reciprocity and fairness, alongside empathy and compassion are the pillars of morality among animals. If we can be guided by the reaction of capuchin monkeys; where they did get offers from humans that were largely unfair, in this case one of them getting a raw deal, the victim protested and even rejected the offer. Where an animal was involved to another animal, there was more equity in that they chose equitably to share the offers or even helped each other get a reward even where one was not particularly interested. Lamelara of Indonesia were depicted to share equitably 58% of the time which can be attributed to the fact that they were culturally dependent. Hazda of Tanzania on the other hand had lowest offers being rejected most of the time. This phenomenon could be partly explained by cultural expectations and the fear of ostracism.   Question 2: Method that would allow better…

A description of the constructs of the Pender’s model using a specific health behavior   The model of health constructed by Nola Pender describes that every person has some unique features and experiences that affect actions that they take later in regards to their health. The cluster of variables for specific behavioral knowledge and their effect has some important significance to motivation towards healthy behavior. Nursing actions can be used to modify the variables in accordance with specific health behavior concerns. The promotion of health behavior is the required behavioral outcome, and they signify the end results in the health promotion model. Behaviors that promote health should produce improved function ability, enhanced health outcomes which ultimately leads to better quality of life in all developmental stages that humans go through. In the long run behavioral demand is also determined by competing preferences and demands that occur in real time since they can slow or divert actions that are intended to promote health. A health choice or behavior which can be used to discuss the model of health promotion is the…

Behavior modification Discussion Behavior modification refers to the alteration of the patterns of behaviour through the use of various learning techniques through operant conditioning. According to Chance (2014), punishment and combination of reinforcement are used to correct unwanted behaviour by replacing it with the desired one. The key to making behaviour modification effective is consistency, and this is what I should do to my students so that I plant good behaviour in them. As a teacher, I should always instil good behavior to my students so that they can grow up as responsible people. I should make sure that any strategy I take is useful to my students (Chance, 2014). The best behavior modification strategy for my 4th grade student who is very fidgety and talkative during class when I’m teaching is negative reinforcement. This strategy involves taking away some unpleasant from a child so as to reinforce a desirable behaviour (Chance, 2014). In my case, the unpleasant thing is the fact that the child is annoying. In my case, I will separate the student from the others and make…
