Anxiety and Depression in Early Adolescence Introduction Anxiety and depression in children and adolescents have been continuously found to have a strong correlation (). Similarly, the generalized diagnosis of anxiety disorder, including other major depressive disorder, often have high levels of comorbidity. It has been argued that anxiety and depression provide essential measure of negative affectivity. Indeed, there are combined symptoms of anxiety and depression. That is, there are internalizing issues that arise due to emotional syndrome in childhood and adolescence. Adolescence is a period that is characterized by increased vulnerability for the beginning of internalizing psychopathology (McLaughlin and King 311). Among children, the prevalence of depression is about 3 percent, but the figure doubles among adolescents aged between 13 years and 18 years (McLaughlin and King 311). The case of major depression cases is prevalent between the ages of 15 and 18. The increasing rates of depression symptoms occur between the ages of 13 and 15 among females (McLaughlin and King 311). The gender parity in depression can be first observed during early adolescent stages, and they become pronounced…

Our Global Neighborhood The United Nations was formed to succeed the League of Nations after the body failed to avert the occurrence of the Second World War (Boutros-Ghali, 1993). The recommendations of the League of Nations regarding Germany was much blamed for fanning the Second World War. After its formation in 1945, the mission of the UN was to maintain international peace and security, attain international cooperation among nations, fostering friendly relations among countries as well as acting as the center where the actions of nations get harmonized (Boutros-Ghali, 1993). The motive behind these elaborate missions was to minimize global conflict, achieve cohesiveness among nations, and reduce contentious issues that could have resulted in disputes among the members. Based on such elaborate missions, the UN has several agencies under it that perform several functions that go beyond maintaining global peace and stability alone. However, keeping the global peace and stability is the primary function of the UN. Through the intervention and cooperation with several countries through the UN Security Council, the UN has peace-keepers that are stationed in different conflict…

  The Effects of New Media Over the past three decades the political media system has been transformed hence changing the look of democratic governance and political practices. Also given the dynamism of the political media system, government institutions have upgraded their operations and political players’ communication has been altered. The role of journalists has been redefined not forgetting the elections contests and citizen engagement into politics. Therefore through new political media, content has been efficiently produced, disseminated and relayed accordingly.   Legacy media which coexist with new media consist of established media institutions such as newspapers and radio shows maintains relatively stable formats, but with the uprising of the new media the political media system has suffered complications such as increase in instability and unpredictability of the political communication system given the absence of interventions such as editors which are mandatory to legacy media thus relaying information directly to the audience.  New media has continued to grow innovatively with mass media designed for broad audiences being narrowed to discrete users through working jointly with niche sources.

ozone layer depletion What is the ozone layer Layers of atmospheres cover Earth. There are four main layers of the atmosphere, which are troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere. The ozone layer is contained in the stratosphere layer, a distance of between fifteen to twenty kilometers from the Earth’s surface. The ozone layer provides a high level of ozone (O3) concentration. The ozone molecule is characterized by a strong scent and blue. In ten million units of air, only three are ozone, making ozone to be a rare molecule compared to other gases such as oxygen. For oxygen in ten million molecules of air, there are two million molecules of oxygen. The thickness of the ozone layer is measured in Dobson units, which is denoted as (DU), where 1mm = 100 DU. The standard thickness of the ozone layer is three millimeters, which is 300 DU. However, the more thickness of the ozone layer, the better. In spite of the small percentage of ozone molecules in the Earth’s atmosphere, the ozone molecule is essential for life in the atmosphere. Stratospheric ozone,…

Bible Verse Application Money is a general concept used in human societies. Frequently, society will tend to acknowledge individuals with vast amounts of material acquisitions in wealth somewhat spiritually or intellectually. Nevertheless, money has led to significant anxiety and depression to many in society as most struggle to amass this. In Mathew 19: 21-26, Jesus preaches on the need to dispose of earthly valuables and pursue heavenly pleasures. As such, the paper uses the verse to explore the concept of money and how one can apply the scripture in their daily lives. Jesus’ disposes of the perception of earthly possessions (Mathew 19). For Instance, Jesus faced criticism on how to live a perfect life; his response was that if one wants to lead an ideal life, they should dispose of their wealth and focus on heavenly treasures. Concerning the subject matter, money is not a measure of a perfect life. Instead, it is a material thing that fades with time, un-defining an individual if misused. Similarly, the spiritual world does not consider earthly possession as a prerequisite for eternal life.…

How do you use “pairwise” plots to evaluate the effectiveness of the clustering? Pairwise testing is a form of software testing in computer science that combines different methods in software. When using the pairwise testing, every input that is fed in a system is tested for all the possible discrete combinations that can be available from the inputs. When testing the effectiveness of the clustering using the pairwise plots, one has to follow two necessary procedures. One of the methods is the actual labeling according to the species, and the other method is labeling according to the k-means clustering.  The attributes of a data set are “purchase decision (Yes/No), Gender (M/F), income group (<10K, 10 50K, >50K). Can you use K means to cluster this data set? We cannot use the K means to cluster the data set because the data set involves gender. In these cases, gender is a non-categorical variable. Categorical variables can be expanded as a fixed variable and which the gender variable cannot be extended. Please review and implement the example “Computing Confidence and Lift” given…

Intracellular Transport Intracellular transport refers to the movement of substance and vesicles within the cells. Eukaryotic cells carry packets of components such as organelles, mRNA, protein rafts, and chromosomes to a particular location of intracellular by binding them to molecular motors that transport them through actin filaments and microtubules (Field & Carrington, 2004). What puts me to surprise the most in the intracellular transport is the signal sequence and the way they are being made use of by the cells. I realize that a signal sequence characterizes the majority of proteins. The signal sequence refers to short amino acid sequences at the end that works just like a postal code from any targeted cell organelles (Field & Carrington, 2004). I came to realize that it is within the cytosol where mRNA translation into proteins by ribosome takes place. If the protein that is synthesized is from a different organelle, depending on the protein, it can be transported in either two ways: post-translational and co-translational translocation. The most confusing thing in intracellular transport is the transportation of protein in the forward coexists with…

For this reason, there is an increased need to employs staff to handle the oversea assignments. Some organizations in the international arena fail to offer the appropriate support to the expatriates. Employing expertise for oversea assignments can be a promising way to take advantage of the global economy. However, these assignments can be expensive, and therefore the organization should do everything possible to support personnel to optimize the potential benefits (Nas, 2011). There has been increased pressure to attract and…
