Medical Intervention to Schizophrenia Patients Evidence-based Treatment Plans for Schizophrenia in Adults vs. in Children and Adolescents Schizophrenia alludes to a health condition that damages the mental health of an individual, hence making them live in delusions as well as hallucinations. Mostly, the disease is characterized by loss of sense of feel as well as disorganization in behaviour and speech. The actual cause of this condition has not yet been established. However, it is assumed that a combination of genetics, surrounding as well as the brain structure, might trigger its development. The treatment of this condition is often lifelong and involves a combination of several medical services. The paper will compare two treatment plans in children, adolescents, and adults and explain their side effects. Additionally, the essay will evaluate how the treatment plans vary across the groups. Medical Administration One of the most common medical interventions is the application of second-generation antipsychotic drugs. The treatment is applied to every patient, regardless of their age. However, the treatment leads to abnormal weight gains, a condition that renders patients vulnerable to…

female orgasm and its relation to masturbation The question of female orgasm and its relation to masturbation has been prevalent over the years. Many sex experts and psychologists have had varying opinions on the topic and this has led to the formation of two major categories of individuals. One of the factions believes that masturbation is not useful in achieving orgasm in women and view the act as a selfish quest to derive self-satisfaction in the absence of a male partner. The other group of people believe in the contemporary view that masturbation is one of the ultimate channels of achieving orgasm in females. While both might be true, there remains scant information regarding the credibility of the independent claims on the topic. This has largely been due to the common societal belief that sexual education with emphasis on issue such as masturbation and female orgasm are immoral and thus taboo for discussion and research. However, various researchers have over the years conducted extensive research on the topic and some of the findings are exciting and astonishing at the same…
JOURNAL ENTRY ONE The readings from Psalm 111:1-10 shows clear evidence that God’s work is excellent, the author starts by praising the name of the Lord, for the good work He has done. The author says that the righteousness of the Lord endures forever. The work of his hands is faithful and just. The book shows that God has done the things that no human being was capable of doing it. Therefore we should always fear the Lord for us to gain wisdom. Concerning the book of Genesis, God created all things in the world, and on the sixth day, he created a man to be taking care of all creatures. This is a great job, and so as a human being, we should always trust in God’s work and the words he says because they are right. Yes, I have experienced several delights in creation. I can say that I enjoy nature every single day that God wakes me up. Breathing fresh air, drinking clean water, and even living in a friendly environment are among the creations that…
Difference between dominant hand and non-dominant hand when using a forehand shot with practice Introduction The main goal of this report is to show the difference that can be exhibited between non-dominant hand and dominant hand when players are participating in any sport activity, specifically with a racket. Testing was mainly done by use of students within the university. The students used comprised of those with limited skills and those with a lot of experience in playing tennis ball. The experiment was done by making use of tennis racket and ball in order to test any successful shots that can be achieved while using different hands. It aimed on testing capability of both hands in shooting tennis ball. A hypothesis was used to test while evaluating which hand exhibits more capability and was more effective with forehand in regard to the set evaluation hypothesis. The stated hypothesis used in carrying out the experiment was that, the more dominant hand was to give effective results while using forehand shot when compared to non-dominant while in practice. Hopefully, when using this hypothesis…
HOW CAN BLOCK CHAIN TECHNOLOGY IMPROVE LOGISTIC PROCESSES Academic Background of the Research What could happen if all the intermediaries were to be removed from the world of logistics? What if all the transactions in this sector were to be substantiated, recorded and coordinated in an autonomous way without involving third parties? If only this was possible, then it could do away with the entire chain of complexities which has been witnessed from the global supply chains in the past. This is the new promise being extended to logistics industry by the blockchain technology. At the moment, this technology has not hit its climax because of the many challenges it has to overcome to be successfully deployed in large scale in this industry. However, the early adoption of this technology across different industries, from manufacturing to retail and finance to energy has ranked blockchain as a favorable technology for any business to achieve its full potential in future. According to Britchenko, Cherniavska & Cherniavskyi, in their research on how blockchain technology will impact logistic industry, they outlined that this technology…
BUFFERS A buffer is a substance that can keep constant concentrations of the hydrogen ions in a solution where a small amount of acid or base is introduced. Buffers are essential since they provide a strictly controlled pH environment and thus give a conducive environment for the investigation of biomolecules. A lab provides the controlled conditions required to research biomolecules. Phosphate buffers are widely used since they provide a condition that is closer to physiological conditions. The phosphate buffers have a pH of 6.5 to 7.5. Phosphate buffers form precipitates with ions such as Ca2+ and Mg2+, which are essential in the functioning of many biomolecules (Wilson, D.J. (2016)). Zwitterionic buffers are chemicals that contain both positive and negative charges in their species. Zwitterionic buffers have gained an extensive use in biological samples because they are very soluble in aqueous solutions and have a reduced ion effect that allows preparation of diluted buffers from stock solutions (Brown, K.A., Sharifi, S., Hussain, R., Donaldson, L., Bayfield, M.A. and Wilson, D.J. (2016)). Buffers such as Tris, HEPES, and PIPES can produce…
Biology lab assignment Abstract Sodium azide is known to be metabolic inhibitor. There are experiments that have been done to demonstrate this effect. On the experiments in which this substance, sodium azide, was used where method of cellular transport used by saccharomyces cerevisiae (s. cerevisiae) was determined. The conclusion that was made from the experiment was that there was increase in the dye intake in the presence of sodium azide. The control experiment showed otherwise, that is decrease in uptake. From the suggestion point of view, the dye was able to diffuse freely into the cell. The other research with an aim of determining what may affect the inhibiting effects of azide was conducted. In the experiment I made a decision to increase the concentration of glucose and observe what effect would have on the inhibiting factor of transport channels in s. cerevisiae. But from the results there was no change in the dyes uptake when the glucose concentration was increased. Introduction The experiment was performed to find out the uptake of neutral red dye by S.…
FAN FICTION “The night is so cold,” Mrs Halima tells his younger brother James who they are living with in the same apartment in Texas City. She has just arrived from work and was doing the dishes in the kitchen while James is watching the news in the guest room. She quickly cleans up the kitchen and keeps it orderly. Then she joins James in the guest room to watch television together.” look, is that not the president’s daughter? She looks fantastic.” She compliments the president’s daughter as she looks at James as if she was telling him something. James immediately responds in a polite sarcastic tone, “I think I should get her number sister.right?” They all laugh together, and Halima slowly wakes off her couch. She bids goodnight to her brother and heads to her bedroom. She opens the bedroom door; indeed, you would never have known the place yourself. The ceiling was whitened, and faded drab woodwork was painted white. The walls had been coloured a beautiful soft green. Back of the counter, a series of shelves glassed…
The tectonic plates The Earth is hot planate sailing through the cold universe. Most of the rocks in the interior of the Earth are warm to flow. The Earth’s surfaces, though, are laid-back by the cold world. The acquainted rocks of the surface of the planate are rigid and stiff. The crisp external layer of the Earth’s surface, which grips together as a firm shell, is not made of one solid piece. However, the shell I have broken into several separate pieces that always slide about atop the movable interior. The tectonic plates are in gesture. The moving mantle under, and their gestures drive them. A multifaceted puzzle of the plate précises them crashes about the globe. Seafloor spreading is a regular course at work at divergent plate borders, foremost to formations of new ocean flow. By way of the two tectonic plates gradually discrete, melted material goes up from the inside to fill the openings. In the process, the volcanic landscape of a mid-ocean ridge is formed sideways During the volcanic process, new oceanic crust develops, which slowly goes…
