What I knew Versus What I Learnt I have learnt much from the topic of homelessness. Before I knew homelessness was an issue affecting most of the Americans, but I did not have the idea that 3.5 million citizens are experiencing homelessness each year. Also, I have learnt there could different definition of homelessness depending on the underlying circumstance. For instance, in my case, I knew that homelessness was the absence of shelter for a family. Still, it could also be defined as living in temporary shelters, moving from one shelter to another, and living below the minimum standard. Further, the writer presented to me a glaring statistic that I had not come across before that those individuals who have been to prison just once experience homelessness at a rate nearly seven times higher than the general public. Similarly, those who had been incarcerated experience homelessness at a rate of thirteen times than the general public. The use of Ethos, Logos, and Pathos in the Paper The writer has applied the use of ethos, logos, and pathos to efficiently advocate…
The Science of Evidence Evaluate the evolution of forensic science, focusing on the types of scientific analysis conducted in crime laboratories. The use of forensic science dates back to many centuries when fingerprinting was one of the main applications. In 1892, a system was established by Sir Francis Galton to classify fingerprints, after which Sir Edward Henry developed a system in 1896 called the criminal fingerprinting technique. James Marsh came up with a chemical test in 1836 that was used to detect arsenic that was used in a murder trial. In 1930, Karl Landsteiner classifying the human blood into different groups, after which he won the Noble Prize. His work created a path for the use of blood in different criminal investigations. During the mid-1900s, tests were developed that used semen, body fluids, and salvia to increase the precision of blood tests. Advanced forensic techniques emerged in the 20th century and were applied in crime scenes evidence (Casey, 2011). In 1910, the first laboratory for police crime was set in France by Edmond Locard, a work that pioneered in forensic…

Lance time to see Basil 1.Rocky became jittery. The way Lance glanced at him with questioning eyes caused him unease immediately. It was at this stage that his mind lingered that Lance might have arrayed his eyes on Basil before. This was the sole being his spirit hadn’t been possessed. Lance was one of the Three Great Generals of the Holy Dragon Empire. This offered him the golden opportunities to visit the Palace City and attend various ceremonies and rituals more regularly. These chances gave Lance time to see Basil. This was the one lucky being that Rocky’s spirit hadn’t possessed. The simple logic of this made Rocky engulfed in dread. His adrenaline flooded his system; it also pumped and thumped like it was trying to evade. All this fear emerged from him, fearing Lance recognizing him because this meant more inconvenience than helpful to him. This would throw all the arrangements set up in the trash. If he had the slightest perception of all this, then he wouldn’t have dared offer a commitment to Marin to be part and…
Scientific and Non-Scientific Sources of Knowledge The sources of scientific knowledge can be obtained using the references in the scientific publications, for instance, the scientific journals. Scientific knowledge can be verified and proven. On the other hand, non-scientific knowledge is obtained in four primary sources; common sense, authority, intuition, and tradition. Before this class, I understood new things through non-scientific sources of knowledge. The approach was not the right way to understand the world since it was based on personal judgment and opinions of other individuals (Yeatman, 2006). Theories and Hypotheses A theory refers to a unifying explanation and a well-substantiated set of proven and verified hypotheses. As opposed to theory, a hypothesis refers to a suggested explanation for a phenomenon that is observable or a prediction of a possible correlation among various incidents. However, both the hypothesis and theory can be testable and falsifiable. A theory can be made up of several hypotheses to explain how a broad set of observations are consistently formed. The hypothesis is based on specific observation, which is limited to that particular instance (Downs…
How to Test a Gas Furnace Pressure Switch with Multimeter The pressure switch is a small and useful component but can lead to many failures if not understood well. This post will provide you all the required information on “how to test a gas furnace pressure switch with multimeter.” But before that, let’s know what it is and how it works because it’s the pressure switch that might create the biggest of the problems. Focus on the important things first before you change the gas furnace pressure switch. What Is A Furnace Pressure Switch? A furnace pressure switch is a safety component that sends the signal that the inducer motor is working. The inducer motor pulls out toxic gases coming out from the flames. The pressure switch is used as a safety to allow the passage of gas. It acts as a safety mechanism. Before you learn about “how to test a gas furnace pressure switch with a multimeter,”; let’s first know how a switch works! How Does The Switch Work? First of all, the switch bears a diaphragm.…
The Role of a Health Science Librarian in the Promotion of Quality Care Like other professional librarians, a health science librarian selects, fetches, arranges, circulates, and maintains various materials in the library. He or she assists healthcare personnel, health science students, and patients by guiding them on how to locate the information that they require. For an individual to be accepted and recognized as a professional within this career, they must have a fundamental understanding of the principles of library management and substantive practical experience in a real-world setting. Regarding the promotion of quality health care, health science librarians have various roles to play. They make medical-related information available to the medical student, nurses, practitioners, and physicians. This information is often referred to by the given groups in case they want to seek clarification on a particular medical issue. Primarily, the reference to such accurate data could significantly reduce the occurrence of medical errors, hence promoting patient safety and achieving quality care for clients. Most health science librarian often conducts research on various medical subjects in an attempt to discover…
time traveling to Germany As James Madison, time traveling to Germany in 1883 and attending Wilhelm Wundt’s experimental class at Leipzig University, is a great honor. As such, I would make the most of my time at the institution devoted to my studies, and this means developing relationships both on a personal and academic level with people who would have the most positive impact. Thus in all certainty, following the exuding evidence about the nature of Cattell portrayed in his letters, it would be wise not to choose him as a research partner. Foremost, Cattell is depicted as a narcissist. The letters characterize him as exemplifying long-term patterns of embellished feelings of self-importance as well as a surfeit need for admiration. Fundamentally, Cattell extremely exudes patterns of arrogance in both behavioral mannerism and thought non-empathetic, non-considerate, and self-centeredness. Accordingly, Cattell is only concerned with himself and his self-worth as rising psychology destined for prominence. He exceedingly views himself as being only the best student and often doubts the teaching ability of Professor Wundt and the ability of the other German…
Politics of Genetic Engineering It is clear and without reasonable doubt that technology has really shaped the world we are living today. Advancements which have been seen over the past two decades in technology are both bountiful and endless in numerous aspects of life. Many are advancements which have been registered in scientific field, and specifically in genetic engineering (Blank, 81). The advancements in genetic engineering technology have created the possibility of almost surpassing the natural human beings and entering into a realm of some human beings who have been enhanced genetically, a regime in which the fate of human beings is at hand. Discussions on genetic engineering impacts to humanity have however remained controversial; let’s have a look on two examples before embarking on what several researchers have expressed their opinions on the matter (Blank, 81). Many people who have been in United Kingdom for a while must be aware of the outbreak of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), also commonly referred to as a mad cow disease. A decade after the disease had been identified in the year…
The Goal review The Goal by Eliyahu M. Goldratt is a book revolving around Science and education. According to Eliyahu M. Goldratt, these two words have been abused so much that they no longer mean what they are intended to say (Goldratt, 1). For instance, Science, according to him, and some known scientists is not solely about the enigmas of natural surroundings or even about facts (Goldratt, 1). Goldratt asserts that Science is a method we use to explain the existence of beliefs that can explain logical deductions that are present in many phenomena of nature. The name science comes up when we deal with subjects taught in school, such as physics and biology, when several aspects of life do not fall under these two. The Goal, therefore, is a trial illustrating the suggestion of a small number of expectations and their usage in trying to justify a large area of industrial occurrences. Attempts to show no particular thinking is required to develop a different science or expand the one present now (Goldratt, 2). “The Goal” “is about New global…
