...CHAPTER II – THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK A. Review of Related Literature There is no adequate literature available on this matter but an effort is made to search some literature to find out the pertinent studies done on grade levels of students to provide the empirical support to validity of this study. It is assumed that the learning styles are different at all instructional levels so in the result of that assumption the search is kept broad and extensive. Literature about impact of visual aid presents diversified evidences. In the first section of literature review a few studies which were conducted on business professionals are discussed and the second section consists of studies conducted on students. Scheiber and Hager (1994) provided relatively strong evidence in support of visual aid, and concluded that the visual aid plays a crucial role for making and delivering an effective presentation. Further they also found from a survey conducted on managers that more than two thirds of the respondents “very frequently” or “frequently” gave presentations. Visual Images demonstrate life or learning as it happens. They represent and suggest a visual representation similar to that of journal entries, artefacts’ and field notes (Bach, 2001). In using visual narrative in the learning environment we can be given an opportunity to evoke memories whereas Bach discussed ‘a memory around we construct and reconstruct life stories’ (2001, pp7). Visual narrative...

This drug is only used to treat severe acne and not common acne. 15. What is a herpes zoster infection and what drugs are used to treat it? Herpes zoster infection or shingles occur from the reemergence of the same virus that first caused chickenpox in the patient. The virus remains dormant in the body until later in life, when stress or illness triggers it to emerge. The following drugs are used to treat this infection: acyclovir (Zovirax), famciclovir (Famvir), and valacyclovir (Valtrex). 17. What is unusual about the origin of the popular drug Botox? The toxin in Botox is the same toxin produced by Clostridium Botulinum, the bacterium that causes food poisoning. The trade name Botox comes from the letters botulinum toxin. 2. Discuss the use of silver nitrate versus erythromycin to prevent newborns from developing eye infections due to gonorrhea. When babies are born, most states require a topical anti-infective drug be applied to prevent possible infection or blindness due to gonorrhea. Silver nitrate is less expensive but has drawbacks like conjunctival irritation and swelling. This drug also is ineffective in preventing eye infections due to Chlamydia. Erythromycin is more expensive but will treat and prevent what silver nitrate cannot. 4. Name three categories of drugs that...

...communication methods and language because it’s their major way of communicating their needs and preferences. Communication is a basic human right. Without communication the individual is unable to realise or exercise their rights. Under the Human Rights Act 1998 all individuals have the right to ‘freedom of expression’. If unable to communicate they would be denied these rights. 1:2 Explain how own role and practice can impact on communication with an individual who has specific communication needs. As a carer it is your role and responsibility to support individuals to express themselves. The way in which you can do this is by assessing their needs, access information regarding their communication needs, providing the appropriate support, aids or equipment, encouraging and motivating communication, working with others and by monitoring the effectiveness of that support. Without the appropriate support the individual would be unable to express their needs or how they are feeling which can lead to both emotional and physical difficulties. By fully supporting individuals with specific communication needs you are able to support their rights. 1:3 Analyse features of the environment that may help or hinder communication It is difficult and frustrating to communicate effectively when there is background noise,...

...Setting “Computers in Teaching English Language in the Selected Grade Seven Students of Puerto Galera National High School Main Campus S.Y. 20015-2016” Introduction: Living today in a newfangled world, computer seems to be an extremely important technology in our daily lives. Every difficult task can be done with the help of it. The crucial technology distinguishes its culture on all of us. It changes the individual’s ways in facing the role to community, home, work, especially in our school. This society’s willingness embrace the development also affects the creativity of teachers. At present, most teachers use this kind of modern tool as visual aids. Visual aids are assistance where the speaker’s words make more effective. It can be in a way of poster, scale model, or video that presents information visually. Visual aids can be a very significant tool to enhance the impact of presentation. Words and images presented in different formats can appeal directly to students’ imagination, adding power to your spoken words. This kind of teaching can be provided by computer because of its unique features. New upgrade way of teaching fulfills the competencies in every lesson in school. However, one from these competencies is to deal with formidable lessons in English subject. English subject supports the teaching and learning of English language and creative writing across higher education. English is also taught as a foreign language in non- English speaking countries.

...Running Head: THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF HIV/AIDS The Epidemiology of HIV/AIDS Michael Reynolds Grand Canyon University: NRS-434V 08/28/2014 THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF HIV/AIDS 2 The Epidemiology of HIV/AIDS In June of 1981 the CDC published a report titled “Pneumocystis Pneumonia – Los Angeles.” This report is often noted as the beginning of AIDS awareness (Avert.org, 2014a). Since its discovery, the World Health Organization (WHO, 2014) estimates over 33 million people have been infected worldwide, 47% women and 33% children ages 15-24. More than 25 million men, women and children have died from this devastating viral infection. It is a worldwide pandemic that affects only humans. The virus is called the (H) human – it only infects human beings, (I) immunodeficiency – it works by inhabiting and destroying the T-cells (CD4), which are the fighter cells against body infections, and (V) virus – an infectious agent that replicates inside the living cells of a living organism and cause damage to its host (Aids.gov, 2014f). Normally our CD4 cells eradicate viruses, such as the common cold. HIV is unusual in that it hides within and destroys our “fighter” cells. Not only does the HIV virus hide and replicate itself in our T-Cells, it is believed to morph over time. Imagine a bank robber hiding from the police by wearing a police uniform and pretending to be one of them. Now imagine that the bank robber can change his disguise, add a mustache or dye his hair, just before the police suspect and...

...and 39 million people have died worldwide since the virus was first identified ("AIDS statistics," 2015, para. 1). HIV is contracted by direct contact with contaminated blood or body fluids. This infection modifies and destroys the specific cells of the immune system ("HIV basics," 2015, para. 1). The result of HIV infection is the eventual progression to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Disease) (Klatt, 2015, p. 6). HIV and AIDS are commonly used interchangeably when discussing the disease processes in general terms, but there is a distinctive evolution that identifies the presence of HIV to the development of AIDS. Since HIV targets specific cells, massive cellular destruction leads to the state know as acquired immune deficiency syndrome ("HIV basics," 2015). HIV infection currently has no cure and once acquired. However, with early detection and use of new medication combinations, it can be managed ("HIV Treatment," 2014, para. 3). Epidemiology is the medical study of the causes and transmission of disease within a population. Epidemiologist target specific strategies to break the epidemiological triangle of the agent, the host and the environment. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) are organizations that supervise the identification of communicable diseases and provide information to the United States and other world countries. The HIV/AIDS, first reported in 1981, was found in West Africa (Maurer & Smith,...

...A National Perspective of the HIV/AIDS Epidemic on Hispanics/Latinos in the U.S. Washington, Keith Dr. Trigg HSHA 332 December 2, 2015 A National Perspective of the HIV/AIDS Epidemic on Hispanics/Latinos in the U.S. HIV is the abbreviation for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. HIV is the virus that leads to AIDS. HIV affects specific cells of the immune system, called CD4 cells, or T cells. Over time, if left untreated, HIV can destroy so many of these cells that the body is no longer able to fight off infections or other diseases. However, with proper medical care, HIV can be controlled. When a person is infected with HIV the immune system tries to fight off the virus and does make some antibodies, but these antibodies are not able to defeat the virus. Scientists identified a type of chimpanzee in West Africa as the source of the HIV infection in humans. They believe that the chimpanzee version of the immunodeficiency virus called simian immunodeficiency virus, or SIV most likely was transmitted to humans and mutated into HIV when humans hunted these chimpanzees for meat and came into contact with their infected blood. Studies show that HIV may have jumped from apes to humans as far back as the late 1800s. Over decades, the virus slowly spread across Africa and later into other parts of the world. We know that the virus has existed in the United States since at least the mid- to late 1970s. It has been reported that the HIV virus was first noticed in...

...HIV/AIDS: An Overview Jennifer Hill June 10, 2011 In the current day world HIV and AIDS might seem to have disappeared. After the way AIDS exploded its way in to our realities in the 1980’s as time passed we heard less and less about it. The truth is that by the end of 2007 the number of persons living with HIV worldwide was approximately 33.2 million (Department of Health and Human Services Center for Disease Control, 2008). Furthermore, closer to home, an approximate a million of people in the United States have been living with this disease at the end of 2003. If these numbers were not alarming enough and indicative that HIV and AIDS remains a serious epidemic consider the Department of Health and Human Services Center for Disease Control (2008), one of the largest global campaign groups to help the fight against the spread of HIV, report that “As many as 25% of infected persons are unaware of their infection” (para.4). Between the United States and the District of Columbia, from 1981 through 2006, nearly 1 million people received a diagnosis of full blown AIDS and more than 50% of those cases have resulted in death (Department of Health and Human Services Center for Disease Control, 2008). These numbers should be alarming; they should also instill a feeling of urgency to every person inhabiting the planet to gain better understanding of the HIV virus and AIDS. The first thing important to understand is that HIV and AIDS are not the same...

...Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory and Applications for Management4otherwise occur. However, the analysis done by Bronfenbrenner (1994) demonstratesthat factors, such as birth weight, mother’s education, and family situation impactchildhood development. The concept of external factors influencing an individual makessense. Lastly, understanding that the time one develops in, as well as the passage of time, both influence psychological development is an important concept. Application of Ecological Systems Theory to Management Numerous approaches have utilized Ecological Systems Theory to understand phenomena observed today. One study looked at dual-earner spouses and the impacts of employment and home life (Kulik & Rayyan, 2006). Another paper assesses impacts of changes to higher education by state governments (Poch, 2005). However, a search of databases such as Emerald Insight, Business Source Complete, ABI/INFORM complete,and PsychINFO show a lack of articles correlating Ecological Systems Theory or Bronfenbrenner with either management or leadership.Instead, I believe that Bronfenbrenner’s theory is best applied in developing amanager’s understanding of individuals, actions, and interactions. In particular,understanding the mesosystem and exosystem can benefit managers throughunderstanding sources of employee satisfaction or dissatisfaction. Kulik and Rayyan(2006) show in their research, that there is a correlation between job satisfaction, homesatisfaction, and spousal...

...The purpose of this paper is to discuss how to live with hearing loss and methods to cope with the emotional, psychological, and social effects of a hearing loss. The physical aspects of hearing impairment, including hearing mechanisms and how the ear functions are also discussed. The topic is important because understanding the various causes of hearing loss in addition to methods and resources to help with coping with a hearing loss will assist in improving communication with family members, friends, co-workers and complete strangers resulting in a better quality of life. This paper is organized into seven sections. Section one will discuss how hearing loss affect people in the U.S.; the physical parts of the human ear; how the ear functions, and different types of hearing loss. Section two will discuss the psychological, (i.e., social and emotional) effects of hearing loss. Section three will discuss how hearing loss can effect relationships. Section four will discuss where to seek medical help. Section five will discuss the pros and cons of hearing aids and associated cost. Section six will discuss tinnitus (ringing or roaring in the ear), and my personal experience coping with tinnitus and hearing loss. Section seven will present the conclusion. People of all ages suffer from hearing loss and in particular as a result of noise damage, whereby “many cases of hearing loss – at least 10 million of the 28 million total cases in the U.S. – are a result...
