Cancer is a primary public health concern in the United States and in other parts of the globe. At present, cancer is the second major cause of death in America, and is likely to exceed heart diseases as the primary cause of mortality in the future. Cancer belongs to a group of diseases described by the uncontrolled growth and dispersal of abnormal cells. In the event that the dispersal of abnormal cells is unrestrained, it can lead to death. Cancer is brought about by external factors, including tobacco, unhealthy diet, and infectious organisms, and internal factors, including hormones, inherited Continue reading...

The Penan Traditional Culture in the Contemporary Period

Indigenous cultures play a primal role in society, in terms of contributing to cultural diversity and enriching the society with traditional knowledge and language. Across the world, the number of indigenous people exceeds 370 million, 5 percent of the world’s population (Kipuri, 2009:1). These indigenous people uphold their traditional cultures; however, modern development has strained the efforts of indigenous people to practice their traditional culture. The upsurge of infrastructure development, such as hydroelectric dams, roads, and gas and oil pipelines, in the territories of indigenous people, has robbed them of their ancestral lands. In addition, these infrastructural developments Continue reading...

What chemicals do Nitrosococcus oceani and Nitrosopumilus maritimus consume from their ocean environment?  How does the abundance of these chemicals influence their success and abundance?  What is the relationship between nutrient availability and natural selection, in general?
Nitrosococcus oceani and Nitrosopumilus maritimus are examples of single celled organisms which are part of the kingdom Archaea. They are totally separated from the bacteria and other organisms (Stewart, n.d.). They are very important for some of the natural processes in the environment especially for the nitrogen and methane cycle. They are also a major part of the biological and biomass processes Continue reading...

Everybody in our world struggles for the existence, there is no doubt about that. Every day we deal with various situations that require from us different skills and actions. Most of the time we successfully bear down different problems; however, it is possible to state that there are times when one can fail to do something or to achieve something. Our world comes under two headings – there are weak and strong people.
In ancient times, weak people were not completely doomed to death, but very close to such definition. In Sparta, feeble newborns were thrown out from the cliff, Continue reading...

Caring for our environment should be a collective responsibility upon which everybody should undertake selflessly. The environment and our surroundings form the essential element of our survival. Every living thing fundamentally depends on the environment for survival and ensuring that our environment provides a haven for this survival should be a continuous undertaking. Our world is more industrialized now than ever before, which means that there are more emissions into the air from the industries that have sprung up in the twenty-first century. People have been so engrossed in other things that they have entirely forgotten about the environment. Continue reading...

The San community in Namibia lives in the most undesirable and driest part of Kalahari Desert, Namibia. As a matter of fact, most of these people do not own cattle or land, instead depend on black farmers for work. They also depend on the government to supply them with foods which are life-saving. Although this is the case, there is a general consensus that they are the country’s original people, settling in Namibia long before the Blacks or whites. Although technology has been appreciated in Namibia, the San still practice their culture. For their survival, for instance, culture Continue reading...

In the early 1960’s and 1970’s you must have seen musical films like the Sound of Music, Oliver, My Fair Lady and many more. All of these films were portrayed by Caucasians. Operas featured only a single ethnicity in casting for the actors, actresses and supporting casts. Today I would like to write about a musical play that originally was shown in London. Its first show was held in the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London, on 20 September 1989 up to 30 October 1999 before it started making their tour and performances in other countries. Miss Saigon Continue reading...

In this regard, social facets such as economic issues, politics as well as culture are situated within technique. They are not modified or affected by technique. He also asserts that the political facets of the current generation are described in regard to their relationship with technology. The end of human being is survival; technology facilitates human survival, however, expansion of industrial technology has threatened human survival. In order to counter the effects of technology, Continue reading...

Human activity and adverse weather conditions are a major reason some animal and plant species may become extinct. Some if these human activities include hunting down some of these animals for food or monetary value and even intruding nad occupying their natural habitat. Some animals such as the African elephant or the loggerhead sea turtle are among those animals that may end up extinct in the near future if their habitat is not protected. An Africa elephant, for example, is large and weighs on average 5500 kilograms at maturity; its rate of maturity is slow because it takes on Continue reading...

Carefully, London manages to establish a connection between his nameless protagonist, his dog and nature. By crafting his narrative's setting, London develops a storyline which is both familiar and eerie. Themes are also carefully organized in order to, apparently, convey an overall sense of both connected and disruption as narrative's protagonist struggles for survival, physical and spiritual. If anything, London's choice of whiteness as his not only a color of a dominant component, i.e. snow, in his narrative but also as emblematic of solitariness emphasizes a recurring, literary question of Man vs. Nature. The deployment of metaphorical devices – e.g. Continue reading...

What was the purpose of this study? Explain why this study was done based on what was known about Breast cancer before.

The removal of the lymph nodes is not necessary for women who are in early stages i.e. clinical stages T1 and T2. The biopsies showing that either one or the two nodes have cancer that cannot be felt Continue reading...

Evolution is the changes in gene frequency in a population from one generation to another. A species is a group of organisms having many characteristics and qualities in common. Organisms that belong to the same species can reproduce and sexually interbreed to produce fertile offspring. One species, however, cannot interbreed with members of another species. All organisms that belong to the same group or species make up a population. A population can be defined as a group of organisms that belong to the same species who inhabit the same geographical area and who are capable of interbreeding. Example of Continue reading...

Education is a field in the US that is well researched and receives support from both state and federal governments. Entire academic programs are dedicated to prepare quality teachers at all levels for students of all ages. However, this was not always the way. Early in the history of the United States, when most families farmed and children were considered to be of more help in the home, education was not required and most children did not go to school. Parents could choose if to send their kids to the few schools there were, which were mostly private or Continue reading...

1. Prior to the Civil War, American society was a bifurcated society along racial lines built primarily along the lines of an agrarian entity. Indeed, the United States during the 1850s was a polarized nation according to specific regional idiosyncrasies and identities. In the South, a pro-slavery identity was carved out, as those living in south supported the expansion of slavery to states in the West, which abolition sentiments dominated in the North. Up until the 1850s, the slavery issue had been predicated on balance, per the stipulations of the Missouri Compromise of 1920. Newly acquired territories posed the Continue reading...
