...Bullying Bullying in schools is believed to be a normal part of school life, however, when people begin to have this mentality, they forget that bullying is physically and psychologically harmful to both the bully and the victim. Therefore, bullying must be eradicated from schools by raising awareness and increasing supervision. Bullying is no joke in my opinion I think that people are just rude and mean. Maybe that’s not always the case but I should know I am a victim of bullying. I became a victim of bullying my third grade year. Lisa would always call me names and tell me how fat I was, like it was my fault I was fat. I had asthma grown up as a child. I had really bad asthma and that consisted of steroids shots. Some days I couldn’t even almost breathe. My bully didn’t care in what I was going though. Sometimes I think if she really new what I was going though would she have stop bullying me? As a kid I didn’t know how to deal with my baller. At first I didn’t realized that I was getting bully. My first bully I thought just maybe she jealous of me growing up as a kid. In a way I kind of felt like she envy me. Maybe I had something she didn’t have, like loving family or parents that were together at the time. Maybe none of that meant nothing to her. I would always wonder why. As the years went on and I moved up in school the bullying got a lot worst. Now it was time to find out why. Why people enjoyed bullying me so much and to were I had low self-esteem. Sometimes I...

...or under as in hypodermic needle and oxia-oxygenation Hypoxia Abruptly people reach an altitude of 10000 feet or more, people physiologically fall into hypoxia. The amount of air depends on the change of an altitude. And partial oxygen pressure drop due to total air pressure drop on high altitude. Human’s body have not enough oxygen, anemia condition is caused and it is caused by deteriorate body’s function. In other words increased height means less air density, therefore lower mass of oxygen available in each breath. Also lower partial pressure reduces ability of oxygen to permeate lung tissue. In an aircraft has a pressurized system to adjust pressure and maintain a constant partial pressure of the cabin environment. Virtually a plane is flying at an altitude of 30000 feet over; the altitude of cabin is a mere 6000-8000 feet will be maintained due to the pressurized system. With this the physical effect of the air make the maximum reduces and prevents a bad affect the human body. To sum up hypoxia is caused by lack of oxygen in the air (hypoxic hypoxia), partial pressure of oxygen too low and inability of blood to carry oxygen (anemic hypoxia) due to medical condition (anemia) or to carbon monoxide poisoning. Definition Hypoxia is one of the disorders of respiratory function. It’s a condition which is hard to breathe away of dropping pressure of oxygen in our body. In other words Hypoxia signifies that the partial pressure of oxygen is less than 60mmHg or arterial oxygen-saturation...

...Environment - how can you help to protect it? Environment is an important part of human life and a healthy environment is a must for human existence. Therefore, it is crucial that we take care of our surroundings and help nature maintain ecological balance so that we could hand over to the coming generations the environment as we found it, if not any better. Our planet is changing. There are a lot of things that affect our planet in a bad way but the good news is that everyone can help to reduce them and do their bit for the environment. While exploring six important topics that affect our community : Electricity (Energy), Pollution, Food, Water, Rubbish, Rainforest, I'll present the damage and a list of ways that we can all contribute to help our planet get better. 1. Electricity Energy is everywhere. We use energy to move the mouse for a computer, to jump and shout and walk and run. It takes energy to power a light bulb, and the light that the bulb gives off is also a form of energy. Other forms of energy include heat, chemical energy, gravitational energy and nuclear power. Electricity is a form of energy and this is what powers the TV, the kettle, dishwasher, hairdryer, toaster, remote control, mobile phone, fridge, stereo, electric toothbrush, and more. Our growing need for energy is one of the problems facing the world today, because producing electricity also produces our next topic - pollution. How to help? When you’re using electricity think about where it comes from...

...Study Habits & Test Anxiety The following information provides tips for better study habits and decreased test anxiety. The Immediate Environment The environment in which you study can have a big effect on how efficient your study time is. Check your place of study for the following conditions: * Noise * Interruptions * Lighting * Temperature * Neatness * Comfort * Equipment Minimize distracting noise. Some people need some sound and some like silence. Find what works for you. Culprits are family and friends. Consider a "do not disturb sign" and turning on your answering machine. You can catch up with folks later. 75 watt bulbs are best, but not too close and placed opposite the dominant hand. Better cool than warm. Have plenty of room to work; don't be cramped. Your study time will go better if you take a few minutes at the start to straighten things up. A desk and straight-backed chair is usually best. Don't get too comfortable--a bed is a place to sleep, not study. Have everything (book, pencils, paper, coffee, dictionary, laptop, calculator, tape recorder, etc.) close at hand. Don't spend your time jumping up and down to get things. Preparing for or Anticipating Test Anxiety * What is it you have to do? Focus on dealing with it. * Just take one step at a time. * Think about what you can do about it. That's better than getting anxious. * No negative or panicky self-statements; just think rationally. * Don't worry; worrying...

...Abstract The workplace is a diverse group of people. Therefore, communication is one of the most important aspects used in the workplace. Communication occurs each and every day. Employees and supervisors have to communicate with each other in making decisions, asking for help, or trying to figure out to solve problems at work. Failing to communicate effectively can make the job different and bring all kinds o problems. With that being said, there are many ways to improve communication such as active listening, learn to be open and understanding of other’s points of view, maintain a positive attitude, and have face-to-face interaction. “The act or process of using words, sounds, signs, or behaviors to express or exchange information or to express your ideas, thoughts, feelings, etc., to someone else (Merriam Webster Dictionary, 2014).” In other words, communication is interacting between two or more individuals by interchanging information. Communication is one of the most important aspects used in the workplace. Also, it is a tool used to increase productivity and maintains strong interpersonal relationships at work. Effective communication is when both parties understand the information that the sender intended to transmit. In other words, hearing and understanding what the person says and being able to get your own point across is what effective communication is about (Moulesong, 2010). In a workplace environment, there are people with different backgrounds...

...Community and Population Health By Malka Molly Hayman, RN Task three Communicable disease outbreak of the Measles Communicable disease outbreak occurs when there is a larger then expected incidence of a disease. It can affect a small group or thousands of people in a region. In some instances even just two independent cases can lead to an outbreak, eventually leading to an epidemic, or pandemic which refers to a global outbreak. Measles is a communicable disease that is highly contagious according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The good news is that it is a preventable disease, because there is a vaccine that is available to prevent people from contracting it. One complication that arises is when some people refuse to immunize their children, (sometimes due to religious reasons or other beliefs) then the risk of an outbreak certainly increases. Another complication is when false information circulates, (for example there was a case where someone claimed that a particular immunization could cause Autism), then people tend to jump to conclusions and are quick to blame others, rather than do their due diligence. Additional complications arise in poor countries where immunization is not readily available, and in cases like these an outbreak is more highly possible. Measles has the following epidemiological indicators which show that it is considered a highly infectious, acute viral illness that is typically confirmed via lab tests. Typically a rash...

...nishment for a child who ha s done something wrong . I don’t think it works.” Lorraine Kelly, T V presenter and m um of one Most parents say their children are the most important part of their lives. They bring joy and laughter and give you a stake in the future. But sometimes being a parent isn’t easy. It can be challenging and exhausting. At such times, parents who are normally loving and caring can find themselves “losing it” and hitting their children. Most parents don’t think hitting children is right, yet in times of stress, anger or frustration find themselves lashing out. But many feel guilty afterwards and want to find better ways of handling difficult behaviour. We’ve collected the best advice from professionals, as well as some top tips from parents, to help you understand positive parenting and positive discipline, and that using physical punishment is never a good idea for children of any age. Which type of parent are you? Read the following three descriptions and decide which one you think is closest to you: “Raising children is a constant battle.” You often: • have lots of strict rules • use demands and threats to keep your child under control • punish harshly and smack often. “I just want a quiet life.” You: • forget about your own needs and ignore all naughty behaviour, even when it is far from minor • always give in to whining • don’t encourage independence, instead doing everything for your child. “I love my children, but understand they can’t have and do everything...

...These vices can gradually destroy our life. The first vice is to drink water inadequately, which can cause the aging of brain, induce the cardiovascular diseases and affect the metabolism of kidney. When people are working in office, they usually forget to drink water. In order to prevent the danger, people should absorb enough water for their bodies. However, people with weak intestinal functions should not drink water until they feel thirsty, or the metabolism of water inside the body can be seriously disturbed. The second vice is to regard fruits as main food. Although fruits contain abundant vitamins and sugar, they can not provide protein and trace elements for the human body. The inadequate supplementation of protein will cause nutritional imbalance and induce various diseases. It is necessary for people to know well about their own physical constitutions so as to choose suitable food. The third vice is to drink wine excessively. It is known to all that excessive drinking can cause the liver diseases and affect the reproductive system. If people want to drink wine, they should first understand the variety of wine. It is beneficial for people to drink red grape wine moderately, which can prevent the heart disease effectively. At the same time, people should understand the best time of drinking. The fourth vice is to make tea with a vacuum cup, which can destroy the nutrients contained in tea leaves, such as vitamins, tannic acid and theophylline. Thus, the nutritional value...
