...The study took place at the Institute for Global Health Technologies in Rice University, Houston. The main purpose of the research is to investigate if chromatography paper can serve as a low-cost medium for accurate spectrophotometric detection of blood hemoglobin concentration (Rebecca et al 2013). Blood samples was obtained through the vein from the participants who gave informed consent. Seven different chromatography papers are used to test the qualitative appearance of uniform spreading of blood spotted on sodium deoxycholate-treated paper and the repeatability of spectrophotometric measurements of these blood samples with high and low hemoglobin concentrations. The results were used to calculate the hemoglobin concentration of samples in each validation set, and the calculated hemoglobin concentrations were compared to the concentrations obtained from HemoCue. HemoCue is known to be the best and accurate method used to detect blood hemoglobin concentration, but this method is expensive. The result of this study shows that blood spotted on paper were correlated with the hemoglobin concentration of the sample obtained with a HemoCue (Rebecca et al 2013). The study showed that chromatography papers can be used to replace HemoCue because it is cheaper and...

In: Social Issues Assess the Strengths and Limitations of Participant Observation for the Study of Labelling in Schools. The term labelling is used when someone attaches a person with a meaning or definition to them. For example, a teacher may use labelling to label students with titles such as bright or thick, trouble maker or hardworking. Participant observation is where a researcher takes part in the event or ordinary life of a group while observing it. There are two types of types of participant observation- covert and overt observation. Covert observation is when the study is carried out undercover, and the researcher’s real identity and purpose are kept a secret. Overt observation is the complete opposite where the researcher makes their true identity and purpose known to those being studied. The provided text looks into researching gender relations in school. Gender relations can cause many issues for the researcher, especially if the researcher is of a different gender. The item suggests that teachers working in the school may disguise their sexist attitudes because they have a professional duty to treat all pupils the same but they may find it hard to put up with this act when being observed over a long period...

...In today’s world many people see cheerleading as a squad of girls just prancing around with pom-poms and getting rowdy for a typical football team or a basketball game. Another way people portray cheerleaders is the visual of the The Top Cats, Charger Girls and The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.

...Cognitive Functions and Phineas Gage The discussion of this paper is the role of cognitive brain functions and Phineas Gage. The amazing story of Phineas Gage will be analyzed and the explanation of cognitive functioning in regard to his situation is very interesting and is also a major topic in this paper. Cognitive brain functions will be thoroughly examined in this paper as well. Cognitive functioning is when an individual has the ability to use mental processes to learn, reason, problem solve, make decisions, and comprehend. It also helps in focusing your attention and remembering events. Without cognitive processing humans would not be able to function properly. We use these processes to eat, sleep, work, go to school, plan events, and teach. Our daily functions such as cooking, eating, completing hygiene, cleaning, washing clothes, and other life skills heavily depend on cognitive functioning. What are the cognitive functions of the brain? To answer this question we must first examine what the brain is made of and what structures in the brain create a variety of cognitions. The brain has a set of structures called the limbic system. This system is made up of the cerebrum, diencephalon, midbrain, hippocampus, amygdalae, anterior thalamic nuclei, septum, limbic cortex, and the fornix. This system helps with the functions of emotion, behavior, motivation, and long term memory. The four lobes of the brain are important for the brain’s cognitive functioning. The four lobes...

...THIS IS WHAT I SHOULD DO TO IMPROVE MY PERFORMANCE PREPARE BEFORE EVERY SIGNIFICANT EVENT. The best way to improve the performance is by good preparation. For example, if we are going to present a paper or to take an exam our performance mainly lies on how much we prepare on it. By good preparation we will get an idea what we are doing. Sometime even though we are brilliant if we didn’t prepare the result will be bad. A good performance lies on hardworking and how much time we take to prepare for it. For example, if we ask someone who failed or performed low they might have only one answer “I didn’t prepare well”. We must have a good idea what we are going to do. HAVE GOOD CONTROL OVER THE EMOTIONS AND MOODS. Emotions and moods have a good control over the performance. If we are too much emotional it will affect our performance. The emotions are more action oriented and the moods are less action oriented. Research shows that emotions are critical to rational thinking. For example, if we are excited or happy it will have a high positive affect on the performance and if we are sad or nervous it will affect our performance very badly. I still remember the first paper presentation of my life. I felt nervous to speak in front of the audience and it affected my performance. We must have good control over the emotions and moods so that we can improve the performance. HAVE ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF REST The adequate amount of rest is a key factor in performance.

...INTRODUCTION We all know that discrimination is prevalent in our society even today and it continues with its detrimental effects on each one of us through our daily lives. We have witnessed discrimination in different aspects of life like inequality in income distribution, religion and race discrimination, discrimination in educational system, in sports, etc. But the most serious issue is the gender discrimination which has constantly degraded the values of society to which we belong. Among all the different kinds of discrimination, the most serious is the gender discrimination which we as a society have failed to deal with since ages. Discrimination refers to inequality. Gender discrimination therefore refers to inequality between people of opposite sex. Gender Discrimination at Workplace There is an alarming rise in the rates of increasing gender discrimination at workplaces nowadays. Every now and then we come across reports related to gender discrimination at workplace. Researchers have also ratified this. Gender discrimination can take place in various forms in respect to unusual or unequal and harsh treatment to a person of one sex as compared to the person of the other sex. * Often, there is discrimination in terms of wage pay to the women employees as compared to male employees as the women are often tagged as the ‘housewife material’ and hence is offered lower wages/salaries and men are considered hard working and dedicated comparatively.

...Essay August 6, 2011 Written by Joseph Prabagar There Is No Hope of Doing Perfect Research (Griffiths, 1998, P97) Do You Agree? When I was asked to write an essay on the statement above, I went to Google to get an idea. What I found amazed and belittled me all the same. Hundreds of essays were already available on this very statement! And I, having read countless books, had not encountered this declaration made by Morwenna Griffiths on page 97 in her book entitled, Educational Research for Social Justice: Getting off the Fence… until now. Majority of the uploaded essays on the web began by quoting the definition of the word ‘research’ and then elaborated on the definitions before proceeding to agree with the ‘no perfect research’ doctrine proclaimed by Griffiths. One particular essay that was published in TermPaper Warehouse – The Term Paper Factory, caught my attention. It was simple, direct and made absolute sense. The opening paragraph of this essay summarized Morwenna Griffiths’ statement as a realization that, as humans we have the capacity do our best research but we must also accept that it cannot be perfect (Asymphonical termpaperwarehouse.com). Do I agree? Yes absolutely. I recollect the term paper that I did for a Sociology course in college some years ago. The subject matter was on Heavy Metal and the misunderstood fans. My research for the term paper was primarily based on questionnaires, interviews, introspection and observations. As there was a...

...Workplace Motivation Paper PSY/320 1/14/2012 There are many reasons why people go to work every day. The largest incentive to work is money making. Making money is the main reason for most Americans. When it comes to survival, food, shelter, clothes, and transportation is critical. But there are also other benefits to working that are non-monetary. When starting a new job, a person will go through new employee orientation; the corporation will advertise the non-monetary benefits they have to offer. These benefits help an individual decide if they want to work for the corporation. After being employed, an employee will measure these benefits when it comes to staying with a particular corporation. A corporation must have interesting and appealing benefits to retain employees who have been working for a corporation; otherwise employees may seek work elsewhere. Motivation is tied directly to innovation. Innovation is the process by which an organization attempts to unlock the creative potential of the employees (Klein, 1992). Hardworking and productive employees are a must to be a successful company. Low quality work and a poor reputation can keep a company from being successful. If a company wants employees to work hard and produce quality work in a timely manner there must be some incentive for them to keep putting out quality work. Corporations must evaluate what motivates their employee and offer incentives that will keep them motivated. Motivation within...
