The technology advancement in the production of cameras The technology advancement in the production of cameras has advanced in many ways. Today there are many electronic cameras as well as cameras on devices such as phones, tablets, computers, and even air pods. Recently we have seen the advancement in photographic accessories such as selfie sticks and selfie cameras in devices that enable people to take pictures on their own without necessarily needing a photographer. Many mobile phones and tablets have cameras that have a vast photographic lens and megapixels of up to 32. This aspect enables the devices to take a high quality picture, which can even surpass the traditional cameras which need an experienced photographer. Many people are calling themselves photographers with a few ‘good’ photos they took on a vacation or a date with friends. Personally, even though I am good at taking photographs using my iPhone and camera, I still find it hard to call myself a photographer due to various reasons (Kelsey, 2015). This aspect of people calling themselves photographers has affected the growth of photography…

Some historians call the Renaissance the birth of “modernity.” Why?             Renaissance is referred to the birth of modernity due to the renewed spirit of investigation, curiosity, and discovery amidst the Western Europeans in the same spirit that is moving the world and humanity at present more than ever. The period represents the most imperative error in the history of human development following the fall of Ancient Rome (Mattingly, 1958). The period was seen as the birth of modernity as it changed the universe in every manner that a person could think of where every intellectual progress created the way for more advancement. During those times, new regions were colonized, while new continents were discovered, and new cultures were found. The period is referred to as the birth of modernity, also because it resulted in new values, beliefs, and ideas. At the time of the renaissance, the folks sought and desired to re-establish and bring back to life the wealthy and the rich culture of classical Rome and Greece (Mattingly, 1958). Scientists like Copernicus and Galileo were developing unprecedented comprehension…

What I love about chemistry What I love about chemistry is the constant feeling of a revelation: taking a gander at the most straightforward responses on an atomic level resembles witnessing an entirely different world. I am quick to learn at the front line of current information and to add to new disclosures. Throughout my degree, I plan to participate in some examination; in the wake of leaving college, I am hoping to work in science, potentially in research, and some experience will more likely than not prove to be handy. I might likewise want to proceed with my investigation of French at college – I think it is an excellent language, and one of my desire is to get familiar.   From the littlest atom to the most significant issues of the advanced world, chemistry is critical. The blossoming scene vitality emergency, for instance, might be explained with the assistance of Chemistry, and the likelihood to be associated with this is a desire of mine. Contemplating Chemistry has helped me to comprehend this issue additionally and to ask questions…

Affinity Chromatography Purpose This laboratory session aimed to perform the purification of IgG using a Protein A column and estimate its molecular weight using SDS-PAGE. Introduction Affinity chromatography is a separation method that is commonly applied in biochemistry. Mainly, as explained by Bahadir, Saltan, Ozbilgin, and Ergene (2013), it is used for the separation of biochemical mixtures based on a highly specific interaction that happens between antigens and antibodies, enzymes, as well as substrates, receptors, and ligands. The interactions can also be with proteins and nucleic acids. Hage et al. (2012) postulate that this is a chromatographic separation technique that is used in the laboratory mainly for the purification of biological molecules in a mixture by basing on their different molecular properties. For instance, the elution of proteins by the use of a ligand solution can be employed in this process. Biological molecules, including enzymes, and proteins, can freely interact with other molecules, specifically by the use of different bonds. Hydrogen bonding, ionic interaction, disulfide bridges, and hydrophobic interactions are among the types of interactions and bands that are commonly…

Criticizing Scale, Causality, Complexity, and Emergence The analysis of the scale and the complex systems does not give an explicit linking on the range of disciplines involved, which gives rise to much debate and misunderstandings. An individual could assume that it is easier to navigate through complexities of scale, realizing the power of being conscious, and visualizing the inter-connectedness involved in it. However, the understanding scale and the processes arising from it is still difficult for most people. It is made up of complex systems that rely on other explanations to clearly give an individual basic understanding of the term, and one has to draw insights from these systems to define it clearly. The scale has been rejected as an ontological category because the term does not define itself clearly in geography, and many questions surround it without getting a unique explanation that is accepted by the geographers. No one knows how to apply scale or the concept involved when operating with the concepts of scale, causality, and related complex systems. A poly-scalar way of approach is required for an…

Do scientists have a moral obligation to use chemistry for purposes like the one stated above? Why or why not? The scientists have a moral obligation to use chemistry for the purpose of detecting proper liver function. This is because it is their duty to come up with the solution for real-world problems. For instance, it will be of great significance to the developing countries where diagnosis cost is relatively high; however, with the paper-based, numerous people will be able to test their liver function. Considering the majority of the persons living in developing countries suffer from a liver-related illness, the paper-based measuring device will solve such cases.   How else can chemistry be used to make a positive impact on the world? Chemistry can be used to assist in understanding, monitoring, protecting, as well as improving the environment. Chemistry can be used to develop tools and techniques to ensure we see and measure water and air pollution. Moreover, it can aid in building evidence that indicates how climate will change over time. Chemistry can also be used as part…

Green Chemistry Green Chemistry is ‘the chemical sciences method that actively incorporates the usage of green raw materials in the produce and use of the chemical substance disposes of waste and avoids the use of harmful and unsafe reagents and solvents’ (Switzerland, 2018). Essentially, green chemistry suggests that instead of having companies to select whether they choose to manufacture, they take environmental concerns into account. There will be no control without green chemistry about how to remove all the lousy waste products generated by different forms of industrial activities. Green chemistry has a preventive goal, to begin with. This ensures that the waste product will not be created in the first instance rather than producing a waste product arising from a catalyst reaction. This reduces harmful, dangerous goods and thereby increases their environmental effects. Then there is a theory called nuclear economics that seeks to use all products involved in the reaction to produce the effect. That implies fewer by-products of the left-over. For the final product, the reactants and the reagents are more popular. The next concept is called…

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy: A Critical Review Abstract For many decades, there has been knowledge of progressive neurological deterioration that is linked to boxing and other contact sports. It was initially termed as the “dementia pugilistic,” more recently the Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy.  Neuropathological chronic traumatic encephalopathy is often coupled by atrophy of the brain’s cerebral hemisphere, medial temporal part, thalamus, and the mammillary bodies. Potential signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy are problems that are usually associated with issues of memory, personality changes and the changes in individual behaviour such as aggression and depression. People with the disease, according to this survey, may not at all the time experience the possible signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy until years after the damage. The research also finds the clinical implication of the disease is so severe, mainly aiming at elderly persons. The condition has been found to affect those in contact sports over a more extended period. Through the various cases analyzed, it has been established to have affected professional athletes and military veterans almost at the same level. The report details some of…

Hazardous Materials Incident Annotated Bibliography Connelly N., Damhus T., Hartshorn R., & Hutton A. (2005) Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry IUPAC Recommendations 2005. International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). Connelly N., Damhus T., Hartshorn R., & Hutton, in their recommendations to the IUPAC state that Chemical nomenclature ought to showcase the community needs which use it. More specifically, the nomenclature has to be developed to explain new compounds; it has to undergo modification to solve ambiguities that may come up; and must be clarified where the confusion is seemingly evident as regards to how the nomenclature ought to be used. Nomenclature ought to be made as systematic and less complicated as possible to make it easier for the users who are not familiar with it, for instance, those who are new to chemistry or the non-chemic experts who have to handle chemicals at work. The staff at the workplace need to understand the nomenclature of the chemicals they are handling to ensure that they do not expose themselves to toxic chemicals and that they are safe in case of…

My enticement in Biomedicine My enticement in Biomedicine started with an unfortunate incident when my grandfather noticed chronic foot ulcers and on further medical investigations, he was diagnosed with diabetes. He got his foot amputated and could not survive because the disease was detected very late. That was a critical moment in my life when I decided to build my career in medical science to find the solution for early detection and cure for the life-threatening diseases. Reading extensively about diabetes enlightened me about the role of biomedicine scientists that research across the disciplines and apply the knowledge to analyse the disease-mechanism thus facilitating significant contribution in human health and disease. This inspired me to become a biomedicine scientist in the future. I studied Science in XII and biology intrigues me the most, especially learning about human anatomy. Working in a biology lab involved me in designing and conducting experiments together with collaborating with a peer group, thus enhancing my interest in the subject and developing interpersonal, analytical and problem-solving skills. Additionally, I did AED Training & C-CPR certification in…
