...Osmoregulation Osmoregulation is the regulation of water concentrations in the bloodstream, effectively controlling the amount of water available for cells to absorb. The homeostatic control of water is as follows: * A change in water concentration leads to active via negative feedback control * Osmoreceptors that are capable of detecting water concentration are situated on the hypothalamus next to the circulatory system * The hypothalamus sends chemical messages to the pituitary gland next to it. * The pituitary gland secretes anti-diuretic hormone (ADH), which targets the kidney responsible for maintaining water levels. * When the hormone reaches its target tissue, it alters the tubules of the kidney to become more / less permeable to water * If more water is required in the blood stream, high concentrations of ADH make the tubules more permeable. * If less water is required in the blood stream, low concentrations of ADH make the tubules less permeable. Temperature Homeostasis (thermoregulation) One of the most important examples of homeostasis is the regulation of body temperature. Not all animals can do this physiologically. Animals that maintain a fairly constant body temperature (birds and mammals) are called endotherms, while those that have a variable body temperature (all others) are called ectotherms. Endotherms normally maintain their body temperatures at around 35 - 40°C, so are sometimes called warm-blooded animals, but in fact ectothermic...

...What’s in a name? – Would whistle-blowing be a more acceptable practice if it was called by another name? What other names might it be called that would find acceptance in corporate culture? Organizations should use a more acceptable name to encourage employees to come forward with concerns or complaints of wrongdoings within the company. Whistle-blowing may be a strong incentive for some individuals. However, often both the whistle-blower and the individual involved in the wrongdoing are treated as suspect. Whether or not the allegations are eventually proven, both the whistle-blower and those accused of wrong doing pay a price. Corporate culture has the responsibility to provide employees with compliance policies that will assist them with programs and policies designed to encourage employees to raise safety concerns. Groups that have recently assumed or are considering assuming these forms of strategies which are commonly referred to as whistleblower policies stand to learn from establishments that have years of knowledge in initiating and refining them. A whistle-blower may innocently come forward with allegations against another, only to face severe scrutiny and charges of disloyalty. Some experts mention that more than 60 percent of whistle-blowers suffered at least one damaging result, for example being pressured to withdraw their charges, being ostracized by coworkers, and even being threatened with a lawsuit. Whistle-blowers can be fired and “blackballed”...

Staphylococcus Aureus is the infectious pathogen that can cause a variety of illnesses from minor skin infections like boils, carbunkles, cellulitis, impetigo, abcesses and of course staph infection. This pathogen can also lead to life-threatening diseases such as pnuemonia, menengitis, toxic shock syndrome, bacteremia, and sepsis. How is this infectious agent transmitted through food or water? This infectious agent can be transmitted by skin, soft tissue, respiratory, bone, joint, endovascular to wound infections. It is also carried in the respiratory tract, nasal passages. It can also be transferred onto clothes, bedding and on the skin of carriers. If someone that is a carrier doesn't wash their hands properly then the staph can easily get into any food or drinks they handle and thus be transferred to someone else. Infections may spread through contact with pus from an infected wound, skin-to-skin contact with an infected person by producing hyaluronidase that destroys tissues, and contact with objects such as towels, sheets, clothing, or athletic equipment used by an infected person. What is an example of a real life outbreak of this foodborne illness in the United States? There was an outbreak of Staphylococcus Aureus at the World's Fair Park event site July 30, 2005.

...Both followers and leaders have the same sense of duty. Followers typically sanction their leaders as high-status individuals. And in return, ethical leaders must allow their followers to have autonomy, and direction. Unfortunately, all leaders are not created equal. A common phase often spoken throughout the ranks within the military is “rank has its privileges”. Sadly enough, what this often translates into are personnel entrusted with a leadership position pushing their tasks down to lower ranking personnel for completion. The cause of this is simply, “as a leader’s sphere of influence increases, they may feel that certain benefits and perks are due to them”(Rainer, 2012). In the military you quickly learn that this way of life closely resembles a dictatorship not a democracy. Leaders should, and do, influence organizational ethics. What’s unfortunate about the underlining social culture of the military is its unnecessary and excessive use of formal power to influence personnel. For an effective leader this is frustrating because people are not held accountable for meeting the criteria of excellence that the public holds the military to. At the tip of this unethical sphere are the use of coercive and reward power over employees. There is a plethora of reason which contributes to this type of behavior. A leaders’ power to influence is particularly effective because leaders are delegate with the power to decisions about the rewards and punishments that are imposed...

...the materialistic American society, Christopher McCandless in Into the Wild establishes a new identity for himself when he abandons all possessions and changes his name before venturing into the isolation of the Alaskan wilderness. Aided by devices, notably setting, symbolism, narrative technique, juxtaposition of minor characters and imagery, Lahiri and Penn endeavour to demonstrate the effects of culture, childhood and family, in particular, on shaping individuality. Diverse settings are employed by Lahiri and Penn to portray culture and its influence on the personas of the central characters. A ceremonial setting is common to both texts and foreshadows the protagonist's desire to retreat from his traditions. Gogol's 'annaprasan' is a customary Indian rice ritual for newborn children, who 'confront [their] destiny' by selecting a 'clump of soil ... ballpoint pen, [or] ... dollar bill' from a plate, respectively representing 'a landowner, scholar or businessman.' Gogol's refusal to choose an object, a rare act, alludes to his reluctance later in life to identify with Bengali culture. Similarly, the formality of Chris' graduation ceremony, established through the thousands of students wearing graduation outfits and musicians playing on bagpipes, is interrupted by Chris' aberrant leap onto the stage when his name is announced,...
