Most often affecting the elderly, dementia causes complete inability to perform routine daily activities due to impairment of memory, thinking and social abilities. Caring for dementia patients can be very challenging given their actions, reactions and activities have the potential to inflict pain, injury, or harm to themselves or to those around them. The use of restraints as a means to control dementia patient actions is a routine practice in healthcare. The restraints include seat belts, collars, chains, bed rails, lap barriers, wrist restraints, ties to bed, strait jackets, padded cells, and electronic devices. Clinical and healthcare research suggests Continue reading...

Improving Learning in Museums for Young Individuals

The human characters are upper-class businessmen and women, who allow zombies to serve menial jobs in manufacturing, as wait staff, and as entertainment. The dead are referred to as “Postanthropic biological resources,” and Continue reading...

In the United States, as well as the world at large, the issue of violence against women remains a pressing problem. With thirty years experience in preventing and overcoming violence, Americans carefully calculate the extent of the problems and risks associated with it. Thus, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 25% of women in the US are exposed to domestic violence in their lifetime. It is also proved that women aged 20-24 are most likely to be abused by an intimate partner. And every sixth woman during her lifetime was the victim of rape or attempted rape.

Food itself does not readily cause diseases except when it contains intrinsic toxins or allergenic components, or when consumed in toxic or physically incapacitating quantities. Many of the infectious agents capable of causing foodborne diseases readily occur in enormous numbers. A variety of pathogens present in different types of food can cause illnesses, which may be life threatening. Examples of such pathogens are Clostridium perfringens, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella . The exposure of human beings to a variety of foodborne pathogens readily occur over secure geographical barriers at a higher rate, which the human evolution cannot keep pace. Susceptibility to Continue reading...
