...Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura, also acknowledged as TTP, is a rare and serious blood disorder represented by hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia coinciding with renal failure and neurological dysfunction (Onundarson, Heal, Rowe, Apr. 1992). The exact reasoning for hemolytic anemia is vague but it may be a consequence of the motorized disintegration of erythrocytes as they pour through partially occluded micro vessels (Onundarson, Heal, Rowe, 1992). TTP is known to cause red blood cells to break apart faster than the body can replace them, conducting hemolytic anemia which is a rare form of anemia. In TTP, small blood vessels begin to clot throughout the body. “These clots can obstruct the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the body’s...

...Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Research and Development Office of Technology Transfer Response to Presidential Memorandum: Accelerating Technology Transfer and Commercialization of Federal Research in Support of High-Growth Businesses 1. Executive Summary. Every year, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) researchers develop dozens of new health care-related technologies and other inventions that benefit VA’s patients, other Veterans, and all Americans. VA’s Technology Transfer Program (TTP) translates the results of VA employees’ discoveries into practice. The program educates VA inventors on their rights and obligations; evaluates inventions; obtains patents; and helps commercialize new products. VA’s program is different from other Federal technology transfer programs, because it is highly decentralized. More than 100 VA medical centers (VAMC) conduct research, and all are Federal Laboratories. In addition, 124 VAMCs have formal affiliations with academic institutions and hospitals, and many full- and part-time VA employees also have academic appointments or are employed at an affiliated academic institution or hospital. Because of these arrangements, most VA inventions are jointly owned by VA and its academic affiliates, making technology transfer a collaborative effort. In order to fulfill the goals of the President’s Memorandum dated October 28, 2011, requiring all Federal departments and agencies to accelerate technology transfer and support private sector...

...Los emisarios del Gobierno de Pakistán y del principal grupo talibán de Pakistán, el Tahrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), se han reunido este jueves en Islamabad para un primer contacto en el que la insurgencia expondrá sus exigencias, según medios locales. El encuentro se produce dos días después de que se suspendiera por dudas sobre el papel de la delegación del TTP. Uno de los miembros del TTP, el clérigo Abdul Aziz, expuso una lista de demandas que su contraparte, el Gobierno, se mostró dispuesto a estudiar, según Irfán Sidiqui, portavoz del gobierno. en las negociaciones. El emplazamiento de las conversaciones, según varias televisiones locales, se produjo hacia las 14.30 hora local (9.30 hora peninsular española)en un lugar no desvelado de la caipal, Islamabad.

The article expounds on the concept of “play” that is pivotal in either managing or aggravating the bullying situation during the playtime. We have adopted the ideas of recess monitoring and authority intervention as it is crucial in bullying management. Author Bornstein, specialist in social innovation writings, is the author of “How to change the world”-published in 20 languages, and the co-author of “Social Entrepreneurship: What Everyone needs to know”. Having been described as “a bible in the field” of social entrepreneurship by the New York Times, his profession and credentials also makes his article a reliable source of information for my project. The article states that given the troubled state of playgrounds, adults adopting no-interference policies would result in detrimental effects, thus, monitoring and authority intervention should be applied. I agree with this policy to a certain extent as I believe that children are less likely to misbehave when they are being monitored and authorities can intervene when problem arises. This is corroborated by the Olweus Bullying Prevention...

...Economic and Trade Relations of China and Japan China contains more than 5,000 years of history. This remarkably long past earns china the title of the oldest civilization in the world. The country possesses the largest population of 1.344 billion and a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of $7.318 trillion in U.S. dollars ("World bank, china," 2011). Although China has an extremely high GDP, the extremely large population is a problem since they cannot provide enough resources for the entire population. This makes it imperative for China to trade and have relations with the world around them and participate in the global economy. That being said, with there incredibly dense population, they have a labor force of 795.5 million which allow them to be very large competition for the rest of the world. Since the 1970s, China has evolved from a closed, central system to a market-orientated system that makes China the world's largest exporter. This was accomplished by the gradual liberalization of prices, fiscal decentralization, creation of a diversified banking system, the growth of stock markets, the opening to foreign trade and investment, rapid growth of private sectors, and the decrease in collective agriculture ("Index mundi: China," 2012). In the more recent years, China has once again brought back their support for state-owned enterprises (SOE) for the purposes of economic security. The restructuring of the economy and resulting in efficiency gains have brought China to be...

...What are the causes of normochromic, normocytic anemia? How can chronic inflammation cause anemia? (4 pts) Normochromic, normocytic anemia is caused by a hemorrhage or hemolysis. The hemorrhage can be caused by the GI or GU tract secondary to diseases that are affecting these systems. Also congenital bleeding disorders such as hemophilia or von Willebrand disease. The underlying cause of the anemia must be treated and not just the anemia. Chronic inflammation can cause anemia because the inflammation interferes with bodies ability to use stored iron and absorb the iron from the body, thus causing anemia. Which kind of anemia is associated with a beefy red tongue? Why does the beefy red tongue develop? What approach should be taken in treating this type of anemia? (4 pts) Pernicious anemia is associated with a beefy red tongue. Vitamin B12 is deficient and this causes the beefy red tongue. The intrinsic factors in the stomach do not work to absorb the vitamin B12, it causes the papillae on the tongue to loose the smooth appearance. Pernicious anemia can be treated with Vitamin B12 pills or sometimes injections. Why is classification of leukemia important? How does knowing the specific type of leukemia or lymphoma a patient has affect the treatment plan? (3 pts) Classification of leukemia is important to know because it tells you how fast it progresses, when you know the classification.

...Hardware, software and the data that resides in and among computer systems must be protected against security threats that exploit vulnerabilities. Organizations must therefore impose appropriate controls to monitor for, deter and prevent security breaches. Three areas have been considered, in a typical sense, as the basic critical security requirements for data protection: confidentiality is used to assure privacy; principles of integrity assure systems are changed in accordance with authorized practices; and, availability is applied to maintain proper system functions to sustain service delivery (Dhillon, 2007, p. 19). These security requirements are represented in Figure 1, Classic Critical Security Requirements. This figure depicts the cross-domain solutions of informal controls, also known as human relationships, and formal and technical controls, which provide for organizational and physical information security controls, respectively. Two additional security requirements have recently been added that are of particular importance to networked environments because attacks now extend far beyond traditional firewall perimeters. These are authentication, which is used to assure a message actually comes from the source it claims to have originated; and, nonrepudiation, which can be applied to prevent an entity from denying performance of a particular action related to handling data, thereby assuring validity of content and origin. Figure 2, Core Data Security Set, depicts...

...Malala Yousufzai, 14, is recovering after being attacked yesterday on her way home from school in Mingora, Pakistan. She was shot by a group of fighters called the Taliban. The group’s members follow a strict version of Islam. They believe girls should not go to school. Yousufzai was targeted because she writes about girls’ rights and children’s education in Swat Valley, Pakistan. Mustafa Qadri, a researcher for Amnesty International in Pakistan, said that the attack shows the dangers of speaking up for human rights in northwestern Pakistan. “Female activists live under constant threats from the Taliban and other militant groups,” he said in a statement. Speaking Up [pic] AAMIR QURESHI—AFP/GETTY IMAGES Activists carry posters for victim Malala Yousafzai at an anti-Taliban protest in Islamabad, Pakistan. Yousufzai has been an Internet blogger, or writer, since age 11. She writes about girls’ education in Pakistan. In December she was awarded Pakistan’s National Peace Award for her bravery in writing about the difficulties of living in the shadow of the Taliban. She has spoken publicly about children’s rights in Swat and had been nominated for an international children’s peace prize. In an interview last year she said told al-Jazeera news, “If this new generation is not given pens, they will be given guns by terrorists.” Yousafzai’s blog entries offered a rare window into the lives of an 11-year-old and her friends in one of the most dangerous and remote places...
