...GE1132 Mind, brain and language 09.03.2015 Semester B 2014/2015 Rianne Okkema, 40070660 Mind, Brain and Language Thinking through language (Bloom and Keil 2001) My little nephew of two years old has begun talking in Frisian, the native language of people from the northern part of The Netherlands. For many people from this part of the country, Frisian and Dutch are their mother tongue because Dutch is the official language of The Netherlands. A lot of children, like my nephew, begin learning and speaking Dutch only when they enter school. In a couple of years my nephew will start his school life; will the change of knowing not one, but two languages in this young age change his way of thinking? According to Paul Bloom and Frank Keil it might. In their paper Thinking through language (2001) they look at several views and discuss the relation between language and thought, in particular, whether language influences thought. Some say language does not affect your thoughts while others do say that the language you learn has a profound influence on how you think. Theories At first Paul Bloom and Frank Keil make a distinction between theories of the claim language-affects-thought. The first distinction is about three positions. One can believe in language-general effects, in language-general and language-specific effect and one can believe in that neither of these effects exists. The second distinction is about the aspect of language that are said to matter, especially...

The Program on the Global Demography of Aging receives funding from the National Institute on Aging, Grant No. 1 P30 AG024409-06. 1 Population Dynamics in India and Implications for Economic Growth1 David E. Bloom Harvard School of Public Health January 2011 Keywords: Age structure China-India comparison Conditional convergence Demographic dividend Demographic transition Economic growth Economic growth in India Policy reform Population health Population of India Abstract Demographic change in India is opening up new economic opportunities. As in many countries, declining infant and child mortality helped to spark lower fertility, effectively resulting in a temporary baby boom. As this cohort moves into working ages, India finds itself with a potentially higher share of workers as compared with dependents. If working-age people can be productively employed, India’s economic growth stands to accelerate. Theoretical and empirical literature on the effect of demographics on labor supply, savings, and economic growth underpins this effort to understand and forecast economic growth in India.

...Red Algal Blooms Coloring the Tides Raymond A Martin College of Central Florida Abstract There are large, toxic blooms of dinoflagellates that leave a red coloration in the water. This rouge discoloring has become known as a red tide. Red tides have many damaging effects on the coastal environment and the ecosystem of the seas. They occur naturally as far north as southern Alaska to date. This paper will discuss what a red tide is and some of its causes. It will also explore the environmental impacts as well as health risks associated with these large toxic blooms. Next, we’ll look at the economic effect and the sociological impact of a red tide. Lastly, we can examine what to do to protect yourself from its harmful effects. Red Tide/Red Algae Effects What is Red Tide? Harmful algal blooms, or HABs, occur when colonies of algae—simple plants that live in the sea and freshwater—grow out of control while producing toxic or harmful effects on people, fish, shellfish, marine mammals, and birds. The human illnesses caused by HABs, though rare, can be debilitating or even fatal. While many people call these blooms 'red tides,' scientists prefer the term harmful algal bloom. (NOAA 2012) Algal blooms, during which algae become so numerous that they discolor the coastal waters, visibly seen as reddish-brown. The algal bloom may also deplete oxygen in the waters and/or release toxins that may cause illness in humans and other animals. Species in the United States that release...

...Bloom's Taxonomy Gina Hern-Martinez NUR/427 Bloom's Taxonomy Bloom’s taxonomy is a categorization of the levels of learning and thought processes. It shows the progression of learning from simple remembering of information to understanding, application, analysis, evaluation and creativity. (“How to Use Bloom’s Taxonomy”, 1999-2013). Nurses use the three domain of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor to help with nursing education and patients with chronic diseases on a daily basis. This paper will describe the research and application on how to manage patients with chronic disease and the three domain of Bloom’s Taxonomy. Bloom’s Taxonomy offers a framework for meeting nursing education goals. It is also a tool that nurses can use to educate their patients with chronic diseases, to ensure that what is thought is focused, clear, has standard of evaluation and is well documented. One of the essential goals for taking care of patients with chronic disease is to enhance nurses’ ability to improve patient care outcomes. Toward this goal, learners need to transfer learned knowledge to actual practice. Achieving effective transfer requires knowledge of thinking paradigms in relation to specific subject content. Educators can facilitate knowledge transfer by developing instructional designs that incorporate subject content and cognitive processes related to the use of the subject content. (SLACK Incorporated, 2011). Chronic diseases are diseases of long duration and...

Bloom University of Stellenbosch, South Africa Abstract: The objective of the research is to consider a self-organizing neural network for segmenting the international tourist market to Cape Town, South Africa. A backpropagation neural network is used to complement the segmentation by generating additional knowledge based on input–output relationship and sensitivity analyses. The findings of the self-organizing neural network indicate three clusters, which are visually confirmed by developing a comparative model based on the test data set. The research also demonstrated that Cape Metropolitan Tourism could deploy the neural network models and track the changing behavior of tourists within and between segments. Marketing implications for the Cape are also highlighted. Keywords: segmentation, SOM neural network, input–output analysis, sensitivity analysis, deployment. Ó 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

Every day there is some sort of catastrophic event that occurs such as, school shootings, bombings, murders, rapes, and so many other dreadful things. These calamitous occurrences are becoming a part of our daily routine. We may stop to read the newspaper or watch that news segment for a few moments to learn what happened, but we do not take the time to empathize what happened to that person or an entire country. As Bloom had stated, “But empathy will have to yield to reasons if humanity is to have a future” (Bloom), this statement has to muster up some sort of emotion...

...Bloom’s Research and Response Ralph Guzman NUR/427 June 1, 2012 Professor Smith Bloom’s Research and Response Teaching is something that goes hand-in-hand with nursing. As the teaching role for the Registered Nurse (RN) expands so must the nurse’s teaching skills through continuing education. Because of the diversity of patient population, hospitals and public heath settings the RN should be well prepared to effectively teach patients from all walks of life ie., education, age, culture, religion, etcetera (Crosby, 1977). This essay will go over Bloom’s taxonomy of education and its use in nursing education, the applications of the nursing research conducted on nursing education and will touch on the three domains outlined in Bloom’s taxonomy. In 1956 Benjamin Bloom along with educators from the University of Chicago developed Bloom’s taxonomy of educational objectives. There are three domains in Blooms taxonomy: cognitive, affective and psychomotor. Cognitive : In the cognitive domain learners , which for the purpose of this paper would be a patient, patients would be expected to retrieve information from long-term memory such as knowing what medications are used for and what the side effects might be for that specific medication. After being taught, patients would be expected to be able to verbalize the meaning of oral , graphic or written information; such as being able to verbalize how to recognize the signs and symptoms...

The Chesapeake Bay Program is a regional partnership that leads and directs protection and restoration of the Chesapeake Bay. Although the Chesapeake program partners have mutual restorative objective, they tend to implement restorative actions based on their resources. Their restorative objective include but not limited to * Reducing Pollution * Restoring Habitats * Managing Fishery * Protecting Watershed * Fostering Stewardship 3. Point source nutrient loading is a form of pollution which can be easily regulated because the nutrients are known to originate from a specific location. However in a non-point source nutrient loading the nutrient’s origin is not easily identified, which makes this kind of nutrient loading difficult to contain. 4. The greatest contributor of nutrient loading in the bay is agricultural run-offs. 5. Eutrophication is the enrichment of the ecosystem with chemical substances such as nitrogen and/or phosphorous. It can also be said to be the ecosystem’s reaction to the introduction of natural and artificial substances into aquatic habitats. An excess amount of nutrient loading fuels the growth of certain dinoflagellates, causing algae bloom. Algae bloom then cause turbidity of aquatic bodies thus hindering the penetration of light to underwater...
