Steps you can take to increase your own knowledge base: (Hint: What courses or special training you should consider taking? Jobs that give you experience and knowledge you don’t now have? Describe these and other steps here.) n opportunities you receive on a regular basis, the more likely you are to recognize opportunities as they emerge. You can build your ability to recognize opportunities by holding jobs that put you on ‘‘the cutting edge’’ (e.g., jobs in research and development or marketing), by building a large social network, and by having rich and diverse job—and life—experiences. Steps you can take to increase your access to knowledge: (Hint: Can you increase the breadth of your social network? Read a wider range of magazines, including ones related to your field? Describe these and other steps here.) n Organize your knowledge. Knowledge that is organized is much more useful than knowledge that is not. As you acquire new information, you should actively seek to relate it to what you know so that connections between existing and new information come clearly into focus. Information that is connected and organized in this manner is easier to remember—and to use—than information that it is not. Steps you can take to organize the knowledge that you have more systematically and...

Cancer Initiators- red and processed meat Cancer Promoters- animal fat Cancer Antipromoters- omega-3 fatty acid from fish • 3) What are the differences between modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors?

...Chapter 9.2: Sampling Proportions Chapter 9.2 Homework Name_____________________ Done on Time:____/5 Completed:____/5 1. A USA Today poll asked a random sample of 1012 U.S. adults what they do with milk in the bowl after they have eaten the cereal. Of the respondents, 67% said that they drink it. Suppose that 70% of U.S. adults actually drink the cereal milk. (a) Find the mean and standard deviation of the proportion p of the sample who say they drink the cereal milk. The mean is μp=p=0.7 and the standard deviation is σp=p(1-p)n=0.7×0.31012=0.0144. (b) Explain why you can use the formula for standard deviation of p in this setting (Rule of Thumb 1) The population (all U.S. adults) is clearly at least 10 times as large as the sample (the 1012 surveyed adults). (c) Check that you can use the Normal approximation for the distribution of p (Rule of Thumb 2) The two conditions, np = 1012×0.7 = 708.4 > 10 and n(1 − p) = 1012×0.3 = 303.6 > 10, are both satisfied. (d) Find the probability of obtaining a sample of 1012 adults in which 67% or fewer say they drink the cereal milk. Do you have any doubts about the results of this poll? P(p≤0.67) = P(Z ≤ −2.08) = 0.0188. This is a fairly unusual result if 70% of the population actually drinks the cereal milk. (e) What sample size would be required to reduce the standard deviation of the sample proportion to one-half the value you found in (a)? To half the standard deviation of the sample proportion...

...artery diseases. [2] The American Heart Association uses Classes I, II, III to incorporate the indications and contraindications for the procedure. Class I incorporates conditions that prove the procedure is needed. Class II refers to findings challenge the efficiency of the procedure. Class III refers to all conditions which prove this procedure is not effective or harmful in some cases. [2] The American Board of Surgery describes Class I conditions (clinical indications for angiography) as acute ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarctions (STEMI), Non ST-Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome (NSTE-ACS), stable angina, variant and unstable angina. Immediate coronary angiography is recommended upon finding a patient with STEMI. For patients with NSTE-ACS, effective preventive and management is recommended. [3] For Class II patients, objective evidence of a moderate to large area of viable myocardium or moderate ischemia on non-invasive testing is an indication for angiography. Class III comprise of all clinical contraindications. These include intolerance to long term antiplatelet therapy, old age, presence of any comorbid conditions that limit the lifespan of patient. Arteries with diameters lesser than 1.5mm pose a threat and can lead to various risks. [3] The possibility of key complications is less than 2%, but dynamics such as patient’s health, acute renal inefficiency, and cardiomyopathy elevate risk. The mortality rate is 0.45% (femoral 0.78%, radial 0.13%). [2] The incidence of...

...Cambridge University Press 0521804167 - Euthanasia, Ethics and Public Policy: An Argument Against Legalisation John Keown Frontmatter More information EUTHANASIA, ETHICS AND PUBLIC POLICY An Argument against Legalisation Whether the law should permit voluntary euthanasia or physicianassisted suicide is one of the most vital questions facing all modern societies. Internationally, the main obstacle to legalisation has proved to be the objection that, even if they were morally acceptable in certain hard cases, voluntary euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide could not be effectively controlled; society would slide down a slippery slope to the killing of patients who did not make a free and informed request, or for whom palliative care would have offered an alternative. How cogent is this objection? This book provides the general reader (who need have no expertise in philosophy, law or medicine) with a lucid introduction to this central question in the debate, not least by reviewing the Dutch euthanasia experience. It will interest readers in any country, whether for or against legalisation, who wish to ensure that their opinions are better informed. john keown is Senior Lecturer in the Law and Ethics of Medicine, Faculty of Law, University of Cambridge.

...A few examples are: myocardial infarction, stroke, and congestive heart failure. CVD is the leading cause of death worldwide according to the World Health Organization (WHO). There are a few different determinants that relate to this disease which include: social status, environment, support system and their individual behaviors. Individuals’ behaviors are the primary reason CVD is so problematic to this day. Behaviors that contribute directly to ones risk of having CVD are: the use of tobacco, excessive alcohol consumption, poor dieting, and a sedentary lifestyle. Tobacco use is one of the most important of them all. According to the WHO, tobacco smoking “increases the risk of dying from coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease 2–3 fold” and “cardiac events fall 50% in people who stop smoking and the risk of CVDs.” (WHO). These quotes are suggesting that smoking is the driving factor behind CVD. Also, with a smoking cessation implemented there is a great chance that one can prevent CVD from worsening or prevent it all together. Healthier diets will also play a major role in the reversal in morbidity and mortality rates. Changes like consuming less salt and less fatty foods that lead to obstruction of arteries. Dieting alone can play a major role in CVD because its lowers the risk of obesity, hypertension, diabetes and other metabolic diseases that are directly related to CVD. The one behavior that deserves the most focus is the sedentary lifestyle. Individuals that...

...Philippines continuous to grow and they are in the mainstream of about almost everything. Gays are creative and talented. Even the language that they are using cannot be simply overlooked at. Using their creativity and wit, they were able to make the language much more colorful and meaningful. Now a days, gay lingo is no longer exclusive to homosexuals but slowly accepted by the Philippine Community. Yes, it has been accepted in the past recent years. In the talk show ‘Katok mga Misis!’ of Giovanni Calvo and Ali Sotto. On their segment ‘word of the day’ they feature a gay word which became a household word in the Eighties. The coining of the word ‘badaf’ which means babae dafat and ma at pa for the contracted malay ko at pakialam ko (Ladlad 2, pp.42, 23). Another example of variety show which showcase our openness for the Homosexual is ‘It’s ShowTime’ in ABS-CBN, with one of the hosts, Vice Ganda. (https://ph.news.yahoo.com/vice-ganda-slang-dictionary-083641238.html) There is his invention of distinct and initially perplexing words to add to the "gay lingo." These have eventually been picked up not only by other stars themselves but also by normal Netizens and rabid showbiz fans in their daily conversations. Sample words are: “Shunga" While it has been a term that's already been widely used long before Vice has uttered it on air, it was nevertheless among his most favorite words to use, which describes someone as stupid.
