The document discusses how memory and cognition are affected by aging. As people age, the hippocampus loses nerve cells and inhibitory neurons, impairing its ability to perform pattern separation and completion functions important for memory. Age-related declines also occur in working memory, ability to form new episodic memories, processing speed, and blood flow in memory-related brain regions. Structural changes in the aging brain like volume reduction, cortical thinning, and loss of synapses between neurons may undermine cognitive functions like learning and remembering. Declines in serotonin receptors and transporters are also associated with aging and influence various cognitive processes and behaviors.

Essay On Aging
Young blood is capable of reversing cognitive decline from aging. A study found that aged mice exposed to young blood, through a process called heterochronic parabiosis, saw improvements in synaptic plasticity and cognitive functions like learning and memory. Tests showed enhanced dendritic spine growth in the hippocampus, increased synaptic potentiation, better contextual fear conditioning learning, and improved spatial memory. The rejuvenating effects were reduced when the young blood was heat treated, indicating heat-labile factors are responsible. Creb gene expression, important for synaptic signaling and plasticity, was also increased by young blood exposure. This suggests circulating factors in young blood can counteract aging effects on the brain.
Ageing and the Brain
The document discusses age-related changes to the brain and cognition. It notes that the brain shrinks with age, particularly in the frontal cortex. Memory decline occurs with age due to changes in brain structure and function. Specifically, episodic memory declines more than semantic memory. Protective factors like education, exercise and diet may help slow cognitive decline from aging.
Epigenetic memory the lamarckian brain embj.201387637.full
This document summarizes recent research on the role of epigenetic processes like histone modifications and DNA methylation in memory formation and brain diseases. It discusses how histone acetylation and deacetylation by histone acetyltransferases and histone deacetylases are involved in memory consolidation. Studies in rodents show that inhibiting HDACs enhances memory formation, while reducing the activity of the HAT CBP impairs memory. The review also discusses how chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing is providing more detailed insights into histone modifications and gene expression changes involved in learning and memory processes and diseases like Alzheimer's.
The Aging Brain
- The aging population has spurred research into how the brain ages, as life expectancy has increased from 47 years in 1900 to over 75 years currently.
- While some mental decline does occur with age, it is generally mild for most people. Severe decline is often due to diseases like Alzheimer's rather than normal aging.
- Environmental factors like education, physical and mental activity, sleep, and diet appear to influence brain aging, with stimulating environments and healthy behaviors linked to better cognitive functioning in old age.

Targets of Antidepressant Therapy
This document summarizes research on how antidepressants reverse the effects of depression in the hippocampus. It finds that depression causes changes in specific regions of the hippocampus like the dentate gyrus and CA1/CA3 regions. These changes include decreased volume, lower concentrations of proteins like BDNF, decreased dendritic spine density, and altered synaptic impulse speeds. Antidepressants target these deficiencies by increasing hippocampal volume, protein concentrations, dendritic spine density, and synaptic impulse speeds through neuroplasticity. However, one antidepressant may not be enough, so a new technique called polypharmacy uses two antidepressants to more precisely target the various causes of depression.
Adult Neurogenesis and it's Role in Alzheimer's
This document summarizes adult neurogenesis and its role in brain disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. It describes how new neurons are generated from neural stem cells in the subventricular zone and hippocampus of the adult brain. Alterations in neurogenesis are linked to neurological conditions like Alzheimer's, where neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques accumulate and neurons die, affecting areas like the hippocampus early on. Efforts are underway to understand how neurogenesis contributes to disease and potentially harness neural stem cells to help repair symptoms.

REM sleep behavior disorder and resulting cognitive decline
Sleep plays an important role in cognitive functioning, notably in learning and
memory. Parasomnias, such as REM Sleep Behavioral disorder (RBD), have been
associated with sleep issues, such as attaining as well as sustaining sleep. As a result of
this deficit, many individuals afflicted with this disorder struggle in remembering as well
as learning. In many cases its idiopathic form (iRBD) may be an early indicator of later,
more severe neurodegenerative disease. Knowing that those afflicted with iRBD may also
be at risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases, the prolonged time frame between
diagnosis of iRBD and the subsequent onset of diseases, such as Parkinson’s, provides an
excellent opportunity for potential treatment (Postuma, Gagnon & Montplaisir, 2011;
Fantini et al. 2011). As research on this topic continues to develop, more recent data has
indicated a significant improvement and normalization of symptoms of RBD with the use
of exogenous, or synthetic, melatonin, which is the hormone found in mammals that is
most associated with sleep. Sleep quality and quantity was also positively affected, thus
patients often retained cognitive capacity that otherwise may have deteriorated (Kunz &
Mahlberg, 2010).
REM sleep behavior disorder is characterized by the loss of muscle atonia that is
present during a normal REM cycle. The demographic most commonly diagnosed with
the disorder is generally males over fifty, although it does not exclude females and
symptoms can also be triggered by anti-depressents, which could include younger
individuals (Postuma, Gagnon & Montplaisir, 2011). REM atonia normally disables
motor or muscle activity during the rapid eye movement stage of the sleep cycle, which is
the stage associated with dreaming. Atonia is generally attributed as one of many
functions associated or regulated by the lower brainstem (Kunz & Mahlberg, 2010). Lack
of atonia, therefore, could be due to malfunction or physical damage to this area. Without
inhibition, the muscles may be active and the sleeping individual is able to move, even
act out their dreams (Fantini et al. 2011). This ability may not only lead to physical harm
to the dreamer, who may injure themselves or others while moving around, but also
presents possible psychological harm as well, since the REM cycle and rest overall is
disturbed. (Kunz & Mahlberg, 2010).
While so much about the roles and purposes of sleep are unclear, many studies
have provided evidence that sleep plays an important role in memory consolidation.
Sleep-dependent memory processing has been investigated via the use of many
behavioral paradigms in humans and other species alike. Although not completely agreed
upon, as any research rarely goes without debate, there is a substantial amount of data
that has indicated a rel ...
The Impact of Sex Hormones on Cognition and Treatment: A Review
Hormones serves as natural chemical triggers that regulate various processes within the human body, including growth, emotional states, and cognitive processing. Extensive research has been conducted to explore the correlation between hormonal effects and cognitive function; these studies have examined a variety of factors such as aging, pregnancy, post-natal states, emotions, and stress. This article focuses on the impact of hormonal changes on neuronal networks and the mechanisms underlying cognitive function. Hormones possess the ability to influence multiple processes in the human body, including emotions and cognition. The effects of hormones on cognitive function vary depending on the specific hormone involved. Furthermore, hormone levels that are too low or too high can lead to both positive and negative outcomes. Therefore, understanding the influence of sex hormones on cognition is a valuable endeavor.
Honors Thesis
This study examines changes in dendritic branching and spines in the frontal, temporal, and parietal cortex from individuals diagnosed as non-cognitively impaired (NCI), with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Brain tissue was analyzed using the Golgi impregnation method to quantify dendritic branching and spines. Results showed each cortical region had distinct patterns of dendritic changes from NCI to MCI to AD. The temporal cortex saw a 20% loss of branching in MCI and a further 5% loss in AD. The parietal cortex had a mild 4% loss in MCI and a 10% loss in AD. In contrast, the frontal cortex showed a
Neurological SystemThe nervous system is a collection of nerves .docx
Neurological System
The nervous system is a collection of nerves and specialized cells forming a spectacular network of connections which transmit signals between different parts of the body. It controls the activities of all body organs and tissues. Structurally, it is organized into two parts: the central nervous system, comprising the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system, which connects the central nervous system to other parts of the body.
The aging process is associated with many biological, physiological, environmental, psychological, behavioral, and physical processes. These changes often result in several complex health conditions dubbed geriatric syndromes. Most cells have a short life span and are easily regenerated and replaced by new cells in the human body. On the other hand, nerve cells are generated in vivo, have a longer life span, and are usually not replaced when they die or are destroyed.
Several changes occur in the central nervous system. Firstly, nerve cells and supporting neuroglia are gradually lost with age. On the other hand, the remaining cells function less efficiently, and there is an increased concentration of harmful materials such as free radicals and iron in the remaining brain tissue (Knight & Nigam, 2017). Secondly, there is a decrease in brain mass leading to decreased function of affected areas such as the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and motor cortex, manifesting as impairments in higher functions, memory loss, and gait. Thirdly, the ventricles increase in size and due to the loss of cells lining the ventricles. Fourthly, there is a decrease in cerebral blood flow and diminished integrity of the blood-brain barrier over time. There is also a decline in the production of neurotransmitters. Lastly, age-related changes to the vertebrae and intervertebral discs may increase pressure on the spinal cord and its branching nerve roots. This can slow down nerve impulses' conduction along motor neurons, contributing to reduced muscular strength (Manini et al., 2013).
There is a slowed nerve conduction in the peripheral nervous system attributed to decreased axonal length, loss of mitochondria, and degeneration of peripheral neurons' myelin sheath. This may result in decreased sensation, slower reflexes, and clumsiness. On top of that, damaged neurons are not repaired efficiently in older adults, and some are not repaired at all.
The decrease in brain function with aging may impair mental function seen in neurodegenerative conditions such as delirium and dementia. Delirium is defined as an acute confusional state characterized by an acute decline in attention-focus, perception, cognition, and consciousness. In contrast, dementia is an acquired global impairment of intellect, memory, and personality but without impaired consciousness.
The two conditions are similar in that they exhibit similarities in their presentation: impaired memory and judgment, confusion, disorientation, and varia.
Chapter5 Power Point Lecture
The document discusses the development and plasticity of the brain. It notes that the brain develops rapidly early in life through processes like proliferation, differentiation, myelination and synaptogenesis. Experience and physical maturation influence brain development throughout life. The brain has some ability to reorganize itself in response to experiences, as seen in cases of brain damage recovery where new connections form.

The document discusses brain development and plasticity. It notes that the brain develops rapidly early in life through processes of proliferation, differentiation, myelination and synaptogenesis. Experience and physical maturation influence development. The brain remains plastic throughout life as axons and dendrites modify in response to experience. Damage can trigger recovery mechanisms like collateral sprouting, though regeneration is limited in adults.
The Effects of Distinctive Processing and Sleep Deprivation on False Memory
This document summarizes research on the effects of distinctive processing and sleep deprivation on false memory. It finds that presenting words in unique fonts (distinctive processing) leads to fewer false memories than presenting words in the same font. While sleep deprivation is generally linked to higher false memory rates, this study found no significant difference between sleep deprived and non-sleep deprived individuals. Distinctive processing enhances memory by increasing the perceived differences between studied items, making it easier to distinguish studied from unstudied items. This decreases false recognition. Additional research is still needed to better understand the relationship between sleep deprivation and false memory.

Many people throughout the world experience some type of depression in their lives and it is one of the most common mental disorders. The current statistic show that depression is linked to genetic, environmental, biological and is also psychological. Depression can ben found with any age person. A small child or an adult may have to deal with the depression that is affecting them. Chemical imbalances in the brain is the leading cause for a person dealing with the depressive order. The neurotransmitter is the what we call the communicator between the brain and the limbic system. Researchers study the limbic system in the brain as this is where depression starts; especially for anxiety and stress. The 3 major neurotransmitters; serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine all have direct relations with a persons’ depression and anxiety.
Serotonin plays a crucial role in our brain. It is associated with many physical actions that we may portray. The actions associated with serotonin are mood altering, sleeping patterns, eating disorders, and aggression. If a persons’ serotonin levels decrease, they may experience these depressive symptoms. This can also make persons have a feeling of self-worth and suicidal feelings.
Another transmitter in the brain which is associated with the depressive disorder is dopamine. This is the part of the brain that deals with our motivation and how we gain the feeling of self-worth and self-pleasure. Early studies suggested that an existence of neurotransmitter norepinephrine deficiency in some certain areas of the brain resulted in depression. One main cause of depression is the reduction in the concentration of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin and dopamine. The decrease in the concentration of these neurotransmitters leads to disturbed neuronal signal processing which leads to alterations in the structure of the neuronal networks. These basic changes are accepted to be one of the fundamental purposes behind sorrow. The emergence of neuroimaging techniques, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET) and functional fMRI, established the importance of the ‘neurocircuit of emotion’ which has been expanded to include other important brain areas and the prefrontal cortex (PFC). These brain sites and their connections, which have been widely studied, are responsible for maintaining emotional stability and their malfunction is considered central to the pathophysiology of depression (Palazidou, E., 2012).
Recent follow up studies also shows that there is a group of individuals with a depression disorder who exhibit low levels of the chemical norepinephrine. In autopsy studies, it has been shown that in comparison,.

The aging brain
The document discusses several changes that occur in the aging brain including a loss of neurons, decreased cognitive ability starting at age 40, and changes in senses, muscles, emotions, and learning ability. Diseases like Alzheimer's and strokes can further impact brain function. While neurogenesis allows some rebuilding, the process decreases with age. Lifestyle factors like exercise, diet, and mental stimulation may help support brain health.

Forgetting in Short-Term and Long-Term Memory
Introduction
The aspect of forgetting is an issue that has become quite common in life. At times the memory slips that persons experience are fairly innocuous and simple like forgetting where the car keys are or even forgetting to call someone back. With other instances, forgetting is attributable to dire and serious consequences such as the inability for an individual to recall their family relations or education background. Our human memory in not perfect, hence storing and the retrieval of information from the brain could sometimes be influenced because of biological or psychological issues. Memories are usually under the effects of how the person undertakes the processing of events through emotions, perceptions, and interpretations. Memory failures and forgetting are aspects that have become quite common with most people especially the elderly, who are often relying on various methods that are helpful in recording and remembering important information.
As indicated by the famous philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche “the advantage of a bad memory relates with the element that an individual enjoys the same good thing severally without having a recollection.” However, forgetting things is quite annoying and usually affects the person’s life, activities, and relationships. According to the research by Shiffrin (2018), memory is considerably not static and by this, how an individual remembers an event is highly dependent upon variables that are inclusive of how much sleep one has had to their emotions during the occurrence of the event (Borelli, Grennan, and Muth, 2020). Notably, memory is not always reliable because it is influenced not only by the recorded events but other factors like knowledge, interpretations, emotions, experiences, and perceptions also affect our memory status. Memories are usually not permanent as they are subject to disappear as people age or because of psychological/mental problems.
Theories of Forgetting
There are various psychology theories seeking to address and expound on the issues relating to why humans are usually forgetting information and their past memories. The existing theories are inclusive of the interference theory, the trace decay theory, and the cue-dependent forgetting. According to the research by Medic et al. (2017), the trace decay theory stipulates that all memories are subject to fade automatically with time. Under the theory, an individual has to follow a specific pathway to facilitate the recollection of a memory and if the pathway is unused for a long period, then the memory is subject to experience memory decay (Borelli, Grennan, and Muth, 2020). In this sense, the aspect of memory decay results in the inability to recall or difficulty for a person to recall information. Through the the ...
Neurodesarrollo del adolescente
This document summarizes recent research on adolescent neurodevelopment. It finds that the adolescent brain undergoes significant transformations, including synaptic pruning and myelination. These changes are regionally specific and refine brain connectivity. The prefrontal cortex involved in cognitive control continues developing into late adolescence/early adulthood. As a result, adolescent brains show heightened activation of reward systems but attenuated responses to aversive stimuli, which may promote risk-taking. Understanding these normal developmental processes has implications for policies involving adolescents.
IMPACT OF BRAIN-BASED LEARNING TOOLS IN MAINTAINING COGNITIVE RESERVE OF DEME...
This document discusses using brain-based learning tools like Islamic songs ("nasheed") to maintain cognitive reserve in dementia patients. It reviews literature on cognitive reserve and how education, occupation, and leisure activities can build reserve. The author then presents observations from caring for a dementia patient, finding that listening to nasheed improved attention, learning, and memory over 18 months. Nasheed may create a relaxed yet alert state that enhances comprehension. The paper concludes that brain-based tools tailored to a patient's culture could help preserve cognitive abilities as dementia progresses by engaging compensatory neural networks.
Memory
Memory refers to the processes of acquiring, storing, and retrieving information and involves three main stages: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Sensory memory only lasts a brief period of time, while short-term memory can hold information for 20-30 seconds before it is either lost or consolidated into long-term memory through the process of encoding. Long-term memory refers to information that is stored for longer periods and can be implicit or explicit.
Cognitive development and aging
- Brain development involves proliferation, pruning, and myelination from childhood into adulthood. Maximum brain size is reached in early adolescence but maturation continues into the 20s.
- Gray matter decreases and white matter increases during this time, with frontal and temporal lobes maturing last.
- Cognitive abilities also develop in this period, with fluid abilities peaking earlier than crystallized abilities.
- In aging, processing speed, working memory, and sensory abilities typically decline while crystallized knowledge is more preserved. Neuroplasticity allows for some compensation but also declines with age.
Aging
This document discusses how aging affects memory and the brain. It describes the three types of long-term memory and how they are differently impacted by aging. It also outlines some of the structural, chemical and neurological changes that occur in the brain as people age, such as reduced brain volume and increased iron accumulation, and how these changes can increase the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Finally, it provides some lifestyle recommendations for maintaining brain and memory health as people age.

Introduction
The objective of this study plan is to evaluate the viability of our solution in relation to previously conducted test cases for companies operating in industries analogous to those of our own. In this section, we will concentrate on the manner in which these use cases measure the performance characteristics of various technical and behavioral qualities connected with an investment in technology made on behalf of a business. The viewpoints and data sources of stakeholders will be incorporated into our measuring system. This measurement framework will be utilized by us in order to assess and analyze the overall performance of our product. After the solution has been implemented, we will conduct post-implementation evaluations to determine how the solution affected the organization. The management of change will play a significant role in our overall research agenda. The plan will adhere to a certain format in providing the findings of the data analysis.
Measurement framework
In order to present an all-encompassing picture of performance, the measuring framework must to take into account the many stakeholder viewpoints as well as the various data sources. Perspectives from stakeholders may come from a variety of sources, such as the user community, project managers, or senior leadership. Customer feedback, system logs, and performance statistics are three examples of potential data sources (Thabane, 2009).
The purpose of the measurement framework is to supply stakeholders with viewpoints and data sources that may be utilized to evaluate the effectiveness of an investment in technology. The framework consists of four dimensions: behavioral characteristics, organizational aspects, user factors, and technological qualities (McShane, 2018). To evaluate how well the technology investment is working out, there is a separate set of performance indicators linked with each of the dimensions of the evaluation.
Indicators such as system uptime, reaction time, and throughput are examples of technical qualities. Indicators that make up behavioral qualities include things like user happiness, adoption rates, and the costs of training. Indicators like as return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership are included in the category of organizational variables (TCO). The metrics that make up user factors include things like user happiness, adoption rates, and training expenses (McShane, 2018).
The measuring framework draws its information from a variety of data sources, including organizational data, user data, performance data, and financial data. The return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership (TCO) of the technological investment may both be calculated using financial data (Jalal, 2017). The uptime, reaction time, and throughput of the system may all be evaluated based on the performance statistics. Data from users may be analyzed to determine factors such as user happiness, adoption rates, and the costs of training (Thabane,.

Project One: Executive SummaryProblem
With the restricted economic activity expected because of the COVID-19 outbreak, and the rise in inflation the revenue for the automobile engine and parts manufacturing industry has been adjusted to decline by 10.9% by the end of 2022 (Pantalon, 2022). Based on the current challenges the automotive industry faces, we must diversify our engine manufacturing and its operations to expand our revenue. In this presentation, I will be using qualitative and quantitative data to explain why I think our company should rapidly explore the ever-evolving and growing popularity of the electric car industry and develop electric motors. I will show the qualitative data which will focus on the industry reports of engine manufacturing inside the automotive industry. The quantitative data that I will provide will estimate the projections for future operations and provide fact-checked historical data on the automotive industry. Automotive Manufacturing Industry
After conducting extensive research into the current automotive industry status, where I focused on the performance and expectations for the industry's future, the 2021 measured revenue of the US car and automobile manufacturing was $75 billion. This is compared to previous years, such as 2020 $69 billion, and in 2019 and 2018 $92 billion (MarketLine 2021). Although we saw a rise from 2020 to 2021 in revenue the automobile manufacturing industry revenue will continue to not keep pace with previous years. As the domestic demand for new vehicles trends higher, three automotive hubs are expected to gain greater traction over the next few years. With that said the US automotive industry is heavily established in the Great Lakes region. This region represents just over 36% of the automobile manufacturers in the US. Some of the most successful automobile making are located here which include the Ford Motor Company, General Motors, and Fiat Chrysler. All these manufacturers are in Michigan which makes up 15% of all automobile manufacturing revenue in the US. With that said there are 2 more regions where automobile manufacturers operate that make up 50% of all us manufacturers' locations. The Regions are the West Region, making up 25.4% of the industry locations, and the Southeast Region, making up 24.6% of the industry locations. After conducting research, the consumer's current mindset is shifting towards a “greener” option for the automobile. This option would have a smaller carbon footprint, providing an increase in producing vehicles that are more environmentally friendly. As a result of this new stance on a “greener” option by the consumer the hybrid and the electric car are gaining popularity and are expected to multiply over the next five years (MarketLine 2018). “In 2025 the North American hybri.

Management of Care
Management of care involves organizing, prioritizing, maintaining strict patient confidentiality, providing patient with efficient care, education to patient and families, risk stratification, coordination of care transition and medication management. Patient care management is provided to client by nurses and other health care professionals “Management of the critically injured patient is optimized by a coordinated team effort in an organized trauma system that allow for rapid assessment and initiation of life- preserving therapies. (Cantrell, E., & Doucet, J. 2018). Effective patient care management can impact patient heath more positively, when all healthcare professionals work together to provide quality care in promoting patient centered care. Adequate patient care can prevent readmission or admission, also can reduce distress, total cost of care, improve self-management, disease control and patient overall health.
Patient care is important to patient because its ensure that patient receive the needed possible care they deserve when in the hospital and out of the hospital, patient will feel their demand is understood and listened to if they health needs are met and understood by professionals that know how to manage their health care needs, health care management team member work together to ensure patient safety through effective communication and collaboration, advocating for patient by connecting patient to community and social services resources that will promote their health care needs can be beneficial to patient, environmental and home risk assessment, and effective facilitation of communication between members of the healthcare team.
Nurses play a role in managing a patient health, roles such as: Critical thinking skills, in this case the nurse can recognize any shift in patient health status which plays a significant role in decision making and patient centered care. Time management: delegation, prioritization such as knowing what to do first, what is important, and knowing what task is more important for the patient at a particular time. Patient education is also one of the many role’s nurses do to educate patient on what to expect during a procedure, or during recovery, also teachings on complications or adverse effects of a medication. Clinical reasoning and judgement which will promote quality of health through patient centered care that addresses patient specific health care needs. Holman, H. C., Williams, “et al”. (2019).

Part One
The development of essential attitudes and abilities that help determine a person's susceptibility to psychological discomfort occurs throughout adolescence's formative years. This particular research aimed to investigate the relationship between problem-solving-oriented and cognitive-behavioral techniques for emotion regulation and levels of psychological discomfort (Speyer etal.,2021).
Notably, the issue of violence among adolescents is increasingly recognized as a severe problem in terms of public health. However, little research has investigated the importance of techniques to control cognitive emotion in teenagers, despite the increased interest in psychographic risk factors for violent conduct. The primary focus of this study will be to investigate the frequency of violent behaviors shown by adolescents and to determine the nature of the connection that exists between specific coping mechanisms for regulating cognition and emotion and various manifestations of aggressive behavior. Using confidential, self-reporting questionnaires, the research will conduct a cross-sectional survey of 3,315 students in grades 7 to 10 to investigate methods by which young adolescents may manage their cognitive processes, emotions, and actions connected to violence. The participants will be notified about the survey, but their personal information will not be public under any circumstances since this would violate ethical standards.
The influence of a father on his children might also vary depending on the gender and age of the kid. For boys, parental psychological distress is related to higher internalizing and externalizing issues throughout early adolescence. This finding lends credence to the notion that this stage of development may be especially significant in father-son exchanges. On the other hand, there is a correlation between maternal and paternal psychological discomfort in early infancy and increased levels of internalizing and externalizing difficulties in females (Speyer et al.,2021). Growing up with a father who struggles with mental illness may make girls more reserved, reducing the possibility that they would acquire issues that are manifested outside their bodies. This is one of the possible explanations.
Part Two
The whole of this project shall be guided by the research questions below: (what is the prevalence of adolescent violent behaviors? what is the relationship between specific strategies to regulate cognitive emotion and forms of violent behavior?)
To help operationalize the variables, a logistic regression model will be used to determine the nature of the connection between specific violent actions .

REM sleep behavior disorder and resulting cognitive decline
Sleep plays an important role in cognitive functioning, notably in learning and
memory. Parasomnias, such as REM Sleep Behavioral disorder (RBD), have been
associated with sleep issues, such as attaining as well as sustaining sleep. As a result of
this deficit, many individuals afflicted with this disorder struggle in remembering as well
as learning. In many cases its idiopathic form (iRBD) may be an early indicator of later,
more severe neurodegenerative disease. Knowing that those afflicted with iRBD may also
be at risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases, the prolonged time frame between
diagnosis of iRBD and the subsequent onset of diseases, such as Parkinson’s, provides an
excellent opportunity for potential treatment (Postuma, Gagnon & Montplaisir, 2011;
Fantini et al. 2011). As research on this topic continues to develop, more recent data has
indicated a significant improvement and normalization of symptoms of RBD with the use
of exogenous, or synthetic, melatonin, which is the hormone found in mammals that is
most associated with sleep. Sleep quality and quantity was also positively affected, thus
patients often retained cognitive capacity that otherwise may have deteriorated (Kunz &
Mahlberg, 2010).
REM sleep behavior disorder is characterized by the loss of muscle atonia that is
present during a normal REM cycle. The demographic most commonly diagnosed with
the disorder is generally males over fifty, although it does not exclude females and
symptoms can also be triggered by anti-depressents, which could include younger
individuals (Postuma, Gagnon & Montplaisir, 2011). REM atonia normally disables
motor or muscle activity during the rapid eye movement stage of the sleep cycle, which is
the stage associated with dreaming. Atonia is generally attributed as one of many
functions associated or regulated by the lower brainstem (Kunz & Mahlberg, 2010). Lack
of atonia, therefore, could be due to malfunction or physical damage to this area. Without
inhibition, the muscles may be active and the sleeping individual is able to move, even
act out their dreams (Fantini et al. 2011). This ability may not only lead to physical harm
to the dreamer, who may injure themselves or others while moving around, but also
presents possible psychological harm as well, since the REM cycle and rest overall is
disturbed. (Kunz & Mahlberg, 2010).
While so much about the roles and purposes of sleep are unclear, many studies
have provided evidence that sleep plays an important role in memory consolidation.
Sleep-dependent memory processing has been investigated via the use of many
behavioral paradigms in humans and other species alike. Although not completely agreed
upon, as any research rarely goes without debate, there is a substantial amount of data
that has indicated a rel ...
The Impact of Sex Hormones on Cognition and Treatment: A Review
Hormones serves as natural chemical triggers that regulate various processes within the human body, including growth, emotional states, and cognitive processing. Extensive research has been conducted to explore the correlation between hormonal effects and cognitive function; these studies have examined a variety of factors such as aging, pregnancy, post-natal states, emotions, and stress. This article focuses on the impact of hormonal changes on neuronal networks and the mechanisms underlying cognitive function. Hormones possess the ability to influence multiple processes in the human body, including emotions and cognition. The effects of hormones on cognitive function vary depending on the specific hormone involved. Furthermore, hormone levels that are too low or too high can lead to both positive and negative outcomes. Therefore, understanding the influence of sex hormones on cognition is a valuable endeavor.
Honors Thesis
This study examines changes in dendritic branching and spines in the frontal, temporal, and parietal cortex from individuals diagnosed as non-cognitively impaired (NCI), with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Brain tissue was analyzed using the Golgi impregnation method to quantify dendritic branching and spines. Results showed each cortical region had distinct patterns of dendritic changes from NCI to MCI to AD. The temporal cortex saw a 20% loss of branching in MCI and a further 5% loss in AD. The parietal cortex had a mild 4% loss in MCI and a 10% loss in AD. In contrast, the frontal cortex showed a
Neurological SystemThe nervous system is a collection of nerves .docx
Neurological System
The nervous system is a collection of nerves and specialized cells forming a spectacular network of connections which transmit signals between different parts of the body. It controls the activities of all body organs and tissues. Structurally, it is organized into two parts: the central nervous system, comprising the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system, which connects the central nervous system to other parts of the body.
The aging process is associated with many biological, physiological, environmental, psychological, behavioral, and physical processes. These changes often result in several complex health conditions dubbed geriatric syndromes. Most cells have a short life span and are easily regenerated and replaced by new cells in the human body. On the other hand, nerve cells are generated in vivo, have a longer life span, and are usually not replaced when they die or are destroyed.
Several changes occur in the central nervous system. Firstly, nerve cells and supporting neuroglia are gradually lost with age. On the other hand, the remaining cells function less efficiently, and there is an increased concentration of harmful materials such as free radicals and iron in the remaining brain tissue (Knight & Nigam, 2017). Secondly, there is a decrease in brain mass leading to decreased function of affected areas such as the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and motor cortex, manifesting as impairments in higher functions, memory loss, and gait. Thirdly, the ventricles increase in size and due to the loss of cells lining the ventricles. Fourthly, there is a decrease in cerebral blood flow and diminished integrity of the blood-brain barrier over time. There is also a decline in the production of neurotransmitters. Lastly, age-related changes to the vertebrae and intervertebral discs may increase pressure on the spinal cord and its branching nerve roots. This can slow down nerve impulses' conduction along motor neurons, contributing to reduced muscular strength (Manini et al., 2013).
There is a slowed nerve conduction in the peripheral nervous system attributed to decreased axonal length, loss of mitochondria, and degeneration of peripheral neurons' myelin sheath. This may result in decreased sensation, slower reflexes, and clumsiness. On top of that, damaged neurons are not repaired efficiently in older adults, and some are not repaired at all.
The decrease in brain function with aging may impair mental function seen in neurodegenerative conditions such as delirium and dementia. Delirium is defined as an acute confusional state characterized by an acute decline in attention-focus, perception, cognition, and consciousness. In contrast, dementia is an acquired global impairment of intellect, memory, and personality but without impaired consciousness.
The two conditions are similar in that they exhibit similarities in their presentation: impaired memory and judgment, confusion, disorientation, and varia.

It notes that the brain develops rapidly early in life through processes like proliferation, differentiation, myelination and synaptogenesis. Experience and physical maturation influence brain development throughout life. The brain has some ability to reorganize itself in response to experiences, as seen in cases of brain damage recovery where new connections form.

The Effects of Distinctive Processing and Sleep Deprivation on False Memory
This document summarizes research on the effects of distinctive processing and sleep deprivation on false memory. It finds that presenting words in unique fonts (distinctive processing) leads to fewer false memories than presenting words in the same font. While sleep deprivation is generally linked to higher false memory rates, this study found no significant difference between sleep deprived and non-sleep deprived individuals. Distinctive processing enhances memory by increasing the perceived differences between studied items, making it easier to distinguish studied from unstudied items. This decreases false recognition. Additional research is still needed to better understand the relationship between sleep deprivation and false memory.

Many people throughout the world experience some type of depression in their lives and it is one of the most common mental disorders. The current statistic show that depression is linked to genetic, environmental, biological and is also psychological. Depression can ben found with any age person. A small child or an adult may have to deal with the depression that is affecting them. Chemical imbalances in the brain is the leading cause for a person dealing with the depressive order. The neurotransmitter is the what we call the communicator between the brain and the limbic system. Researchers study the limbic system in the brain as this is where depression starts; especially for anxiety and stress. The 3 major neurotransmitters; serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine all have direct relations with a persons’ depression and anxiety.
Serotonin plays a crucial role in our brain. It is associated with many physical actions that we may portray. The actions associated with serotonin are mood altering, sleeping patterns, eating disorders, and aggression. If a persons’ serotonin levels decrease, they may experience these depressive symptoms. This can also make persons have a feeling of self-worth and suicidal feelings.
Another transmitter in the brain which is associated with the depressive disorder is dopamine. This is the part of the brain that deals with our motivation and how we gain the feeling of self-worth and self-pleasure. Early studies suggested that an existence of neurotransmitter norepinephrine deficiency in some certain areas of the brain resulted in depression. One main cause of depression is the reduction in the concentration of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin and dopamine. The decrease in the concentration of these neurotransmitters leads to disturbed neuronal signal processing which leads to alterations in the structure of the neuronal networks. These basic changes are accepted to be one of the fundamental purposes behind sorrow. The emergence of neuroimaging techniques, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET) and functional fMRI, established the importance of the ‘neurocircuit of emotion’ which has been expanded to include other important brain areas and the prefrontal cortex (PFC). These brain sites and their connections, which have been widely studied, are responsible for maintaining emotional stability and their malfunction is considered central to the pathophysiology of depression (Palazidou, E., 2012).
Recent follow up studies also shows that there is a group of individuals with a depression disorder who exhibit low levels of the chemical norepinephrine. In autopsy studies, it has been shown that in comparison,.

The aging brain
The document discusses several changes that occur in the aging brain including a loss of neurons, decreased cognitive ability starting at age 40, and changes in senses, muscles, emotions, and learning ability. Diseases like Alzheimer's and strokes can further impact brain function. While neurogenesis allows some rebuilding, the process decreases with age. Lifestyle factors like exercise, diet, and mental stimulation may help support brain health.

Forgetting in Short-Term and Long-Term Memory
Introduction
The aspect of forgetting is an issue that has become quite common in life. At times the memory slips that persons experience are fairly innocuous and simple like forgetting where the car keys are or even forgetting to call someone back. With other instances, forgetting is attributable to dire and serious consequences such as the inability for an individual to recall their family relations or education background. Our human memory in not perfect, hence storing and the retrieval of information from the brain could sometimes be influenced because of biological or psychological issues. Memories are usually under the effects of how the person undertakes the processing of events through emotions, perceptions, and interpretations. Memory failures and forgetting are aspects that have become quite common with most people especially the elderly, who are often relying on various methods that are helpful in recording and remembering important information.
As indicated by the famous philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche “the advantage of a bad memory relates with the element that an individual enjoys the same good thing severally without having a recollection.” However, forgetting things is quite annoying and usually affects the person’s life, activities, and relationships. According to the research by Shiffrin (2018), memory is considerably not static and by this, how an individual remembers an event is highly dependent upon variables that are inclusive of how much sleep one has had to their emotions during the occurrence of the event (Borelli, Grennan, and Muth, 2020). Notably, memory is not always reliable because it is influenced not only by the recorded events but other factors like knowledge, interpretations, emotions, experiences, and perceptions also affect our memory status. Memories are usually not permanent as they are subject to disappear as people age or because of psychological/mental problems.
Theories of Forgetting
There are various psychology theories seeking to address and expound on the issues relating to why humans are usually forgetting information and their past memories. The existing theories are inclusive of the interference theory, the trace decay theory, and the cue-dependent forgetting. According to the research by Medic et al. (2017), the trace decay theory stipulates that all memories are subject to fade automatically with time. Under the theory, an individual has to follow a specific pathway to facilitate the recollection of a memory and if the pathway is unused for a long period, then the memory is subject to experience memory decay (Borelli, Grennan, and Muth, 2020). In this sense, the aspect of memory decay results in the inability to recall or difficulty for a person to recall information. Through the the ...
Neurodesarrollo del adolescente
This document summarizes recent research on adolescent neurodevelopment. It finds that the adolescent brain undergoes significant transformations, including synaptic pruning and myelination. These changes are regionally specific and refine brain connectivity. The prefrontal cortex involved in cognitive control continues developing into late adolescence/early adulthood. As a result, adolescent brains show heightened activation of reward systems but attenuated responses to aversive stimuli, which may promote risk-taking. Understanding these normal developmental processes has implications for policies involving adolescents.
IMPACT OF BRAIN-BASED LEARNING TOOLS IN MAINTAINING COGNITIVE RESERVE OF DEME...
This document discusses using brain-based learning tools like Islamic songs ("nasheed") to maintain cognitive reserve in dementia patients. It reviews literature on cognitive reserve and how education, occupation, and leisure activities can build reserve. The author then presents observations from caring for a dementia patient, finding that listening to nasheed improved attention, learning, and memory over 18 months. Nasheed may create a relaxed yet alert state that enhances comprehension. The paper concludes that brain-based tools tailored to a patient's culture could help preserve cognitive abilities as dementia progresses by engaging compensatory neural networks.
Memory
Memory refers to the processes of acquiring, storing, and retrieving information and involves three main stages: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Sensory memory only lasts a brief period of time, while short-term memory can hold information for 20-30 seconds before it is either lost or consolidated into long-term memory through the process of encoding. Long-term memory refers to information that is stored for longer periods and can be implicit or explicit.
Cognitive development and aging
- Brain development involves proliferation, pruning, and myelination from childhood into adulthood. Maximum brain size is reached in early adolescence but maturation continues into the 20s.
- Gray matter decreases and white matter increases during this time, with frontal and temporal lobes maturing last.
- Cognitive abilities also develop in this period, with fluid abilities peaking earlier than crystallized abilities.
- In aging, processing speed, working memory, and sensory abilities typically decline while crystallized knowledge is more preserved. Neuroplasticity allows for some compensation but also declines with age.
Aging
This document discusses how aging affects memory and the brain. It describes the three types of long-term memory and how they are differently impacted by aging. It also outlines some of the structural, chemical and neurological changes that occur in the brain as people age, such as reduced brain volume and increased iron accumulation, and how these changes can increase the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Finally, it provides some lifestyle recommendations for maintaining brain and memory health as people age.

Introduction
The objective of this study plan is to evaluate the viability of our solution in relation to previously conducted test cases for companies operating in industries analogous to those of our own. In this section, we will concentrate on the manner in which these use cases measure the performance characteristics of various technical and behavioral qualities connected with an investment in technology made on behalf of a business. The viewpoints and data sources of stakeholders will be incorporated into our measuring system. This measurement framework will be utilized by us in order to assess and analyze the overall performance of our product. After the solution has been implemented, we will conduct post-implementation evaluations to determine how the solution affected the organization. The management of change will play a significant role in our overall research agenda. The plan will adhere to a certain format in providing the findings of the data analysis.
Measurement framework
In order to present an all-encompassing picture of performance, the measuring framework must to take into account the many stakeholder viewpoints as well as the various data sources. Perspectives from stakeholders may come from a variety of sources, such as the user community, project managers, or senior leadership. Customer feedback, system logs, and performance statistics are three examples of potential data sources (Thabane, 2009).
The purpose of the measurement framework is to supply stakeholders with viewpoints and data sources that may be utilized to evaluate the effectiveness of an investment in technology. The framework consists of four dimensions: behavioral characteristics, organizational aspects, user factors, and technological qualities (McShane, 2018). To evaluate how well the technology investment is working out, there is a separate set of performance indicators linked with each of the dimensions of the evaluation.
Indicators such as system uptime, reaction time, and throughput are examples of technical qualities. Indicators that make up behavioral qualities include things like user happiness, adoption rates, and the costs of training. Indicators like as return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership are included in the category of organizational variables (TCO). The metrics that make up user factors include things like user happiness, adoption rates, and training expenses (McShane, 2018).
The measuring framework draws its information from a variety of data sources, including organizational data, user data, performance data, and financial data. The return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership (TCO) of the technological investment may both be calculated using financial data (Jalal, 2017). The uptime, reaction time, and throughput of the system may all be evaluated based on the performance statistics. Data from users may be analyzed to determine factors such as user happiness, adoption rates, and the costs of training (Thabane,.

With the restricted economic activity expected because of the COVID-19 outbreak, and the rise in inflation the revenue for the automobile engine and parts manufacturing industry has been adjusted to decline by 10.9% by the end of 2022 (Pantalon, 2022). Based on the current challenges the automotive industry faces, we must diversify our engine manufacturing and its operations to expand our revenue. In this presentation, I will be using qualitative and quantitative data to explain why I think our company should rapidly explore the ever-evolving and growing popularity of the electric car industry and develop electric motors. I will show the qualitative data which will focus on the industry reports of engine manufacturing inside the automotive industry. The quantitative data that I will provide will estimate the projections for future operations and provide fact-checked historical data on the automotive industry. Automotive Manufacturing Industry
After conducting extensive research into the current automotive industry status, where I focused on the performance and expectations for the industry's future, the 2021 measured revenue of the US car and automobile manufacturing was $75 billion. This is compared to previous years, such as 2020 $69 billion, and in 2019 and 2018 $92 billion (MarketLine 2021). Although we saw a rise from 2020 to 2021 in revenue the automobile manufacturing industry revenue will continue to not keep pace with previous years. As the domestic demand for new vehicles trends higher, three automotive hubs are expected to gain greater traction over the next few years. With that said the US automotive industry is heavily established in the Great Lakes region. This region represents just over 36% of the automobile manufacturers in the US. Some of the most successful automobile making are located here which include the Ford Motor Company, General Motors, and Fiat Chrysler. All these manufacturers are in Michigan which makes up 15% of all automobile manufacturing revenue in the US. With that said there are 2 more regions where automobile manufacturers operate that make up 50% of all us manufacturers' locations. The Regions are the West Region, making up 25.4% of the industry locations, and the Southeast Region, making up 24.6% of the industry locations. After conducting research, the consumer's current mindset is shifting towards a “greener” option for the automobile. This option would have a smaller carbon footprint, providing an increase in producing vehicles that are more environmentally friendly. As a result of this new stance on a “greener” option by the consumer the hybrid and the electric car are gaining popularity and are expected to multiply over the next five years (MarketLine 2018). “In 2025 the North American hybri.

Management of Care
Management of care involves organizing, prioritizing, maintaining strict patient confidentiality, providing patient with efficient care, education to patient and families, risk stratification, coordination of care transition and medication management. Patient care management is provided to client by nurses and other health care professionals “Management of the critically injured patient is optimized by a coordinated team effort in an organized trauma system that allow for rapid assessment and initiation of life- preserving therapies. (Cantrell, E., & Doucet, J. 2018). Effective patient care management can impact patient heath more positively, when all healthcare professionals work together to provide quality care in promoting patient centered care. Adequate patient care can prevent readmission or admission, also can reduce distress, total cost of care, improve self-management, disease control and patient overall health.
Patient care is important to patient because its ensure that patient receive the needed possible care they deserve when in the hospital and out of the hospital, patient will feel their demand is understood and listened to if they health needs are met and understood by professionals that know how to manage their health care needs, health care management team member work together to ensure patient safety through effective communication and collaboration, advocating for patient by connecting patient to community and social services resources that will promote their health care needs can be beneficial to patient, environmental and home risk assessment, and effective facilitation of communication between members of the healthcare team.
Nurses play a role in managing a patient health, roles such as: Critical thinking skills, in this case the nurse can recognize any shift in patient health status which plays a significant role in decision making and patient centered care. Time management: delegation, prioritization such as knowing what to do first, what is important, and knowing what task is more important for the patient at a particular time. Patient education is also one of the many role’s nurses do to educate patient on what to expect during a procedure, or during recovery, also teachings on complications or adverse effects of a medication. Clinical reasoning and judgement which will promote quality of health through patient centered care that addresses patient specific health care needs. Holman, H. C., Williams, “et al”. (2019).

Part One
The development of essential attitudes and abilities that help determine a person's susceptibility to psychological discomfort occurs throughout adolescence's formative years. This particular research aimed to investigate the relationship between problem-solving-oriented and cognitive-behavioral techniques for emotion regulation and levels of psychological discomfort (Speyer etal.,2021).
Notably, the issue of violence among adolescents is increasingly recognized as a severe problem in terms of public health. However, little research has investigated the importance of techniques to control cognitive emotion in teenagers, despite the increased interest in psychographic risk factors for violent conduct. The primary focus of this study will be to investigate the frequency of violent behaviors shown by adolescents and to determine the nature of the connection that exists between specific coping mechanisms for regulating cognition and emotion and various manifestations of aggressive behavior. Using confidential, self-reporting questionnaires, the research will conduct a cross-sectional survey of 3,315 students in grades 7 to 10 to investigate methods by which young adolescents may manage their cognitive processes, emotions, and actions connected to violence. The participants will be notified about the survey, but their personal information will not be public under any circumstances since this would violate ethical standards.
The influence of a father on his children might also vary depending on the gender and age of the kid. For boys, parental psychological distress is related to higher internalizing and externalizing issues throughout early adolescence. This finding lends credence to the notion that this stage of development may be especially significant in father-son exchanges. On the other hand, there is a correlation between maternal and paternal psychological discomfort in early infancy and increased levels of internalizing and externalizing difficulties in females (Speyer et al.,2021). Growing up with a father who struggles with mental illness may make girls more reserved, reducing the possibility that they would acquire issues that are manifested outside their bodies. This is one of the possible explanations.
Part Two
The whole of this project shall be guided by the research questions below: (what is the prevalence of adolescent violent behaviors? what is the relationship between specific strategies to regulate cognitive emotion and forms of violent behavior?)
To help operationalize the variables, a logistic regression model will be used to determine the nature of the connection between specific violent actions .

located. Business integration is a
necessity. From many points of view
and experiences, the different strategies
have brought success to many
companies that were therefore
encouraged to carry out the entire
integration process. The benefits speak
for themselves: lower expenses for
systems, automation of processes, less
time spent in work, better control of
information.

This is due to the fact that integrated
business computing works better. The
company’s IT works as a stage for the
renewal of its functions. Its capacity for
updating and deleting errors, as well as
cloud adaptation or hybrid operation,
allows it to generate unparalleled
results.
Companies with integrated business
computing are not only more
productive, but they also stand above
their competitors thanks to the great
work capacity they can assume. It
doesn’t matter if the systems they have
are complex, the management is simple
and allows work policies to be fulfilled
and its employees to perform better.

Your introduction should be typed here. It should be at least four sentences and include a thesis statement that introduces all the key points of the paper. Please note that you should follow all APA writing rules within your essay. This means avoid first and second person, do not use contractions, and use citations throughout your paper. The final sentence in your introduction must be a strong thesis statement that introduces every key topic that will be introduced in the paper. Remember that a thesis should be one sentence. Here is an example: In the pages to follow, West Chester Private School (WCPS) will be discussed in the context of open systems, organizational culture, the decision to close and the closure process, the impact of technology and innovation on stakeholders, administration closure options, the plans for future direction of WCPS, along with the four functions of management.
External Environment and Open Systems
There are certain ways in which organizations interact with their external environment (as open systems). These ways rely on the Systems Approach to Management Theory, which perceives an organization as an open system that consists of interdependent and interrelated parts interacting as sub-systems (Jackson, 2017). Generally, organizations rely on the exchange of resources and information with their environments. More so, they cannot hold complete control over their behavior and actions, which are significantly impacted by external forces. For example, an organization may be impacted by various environmental conditions such as government regulations, client demands, and raw material availability. As an open system, an organization can interact with the external environment in the context of inputs, transformations, and outputs. Inputs refer to both human and non-human resources like materials, energy, and information. Transformations refer to the conversion of inputs into outputs. For example, a school can transform a student into an educated individual. Finally, outputs refer to what an organization is giving to the environment.
Internal Environment and Organizational Culture
At the time of the closure, the effectiveness of West Chester Private School (WCPS) as an open system was inadequate. One important factor that impacts the effectiveness of an open system is feedback. Feedback refers to the information that an open system receives from the external environment, which can be used to maintain a system at optimal working conditions or a steady state (Jung & Vakharia, 2019). In the case of WCPS, feedback could be received from parents, teachers, and students. At the time of the closure, none of these stakeholders was consulted. Instead, WCPS made a unilateral decision to close down two campuses without considering the input of parents, te.

Toxoplasmosis and Effects on Abortion, And Fetal Abnormalities
Abstract
The placenta is an immune-privileged organ that may tolerate antigen exposure without eliciting a strong inflammatory response that could result in an abortion. After that, the pregnancy can progress normally. Th1 answers, characterized by interferon-, are essential for suppressing intracellular infections. Therefore, the maternal immune system finds a catch-22 when intracellular parasites invade the placenta. The pro-inflammatory response required to eradicate the virus carries the danger of causing an abortion. Toxoplasma is a potent parasite that causes lifetime infections and is a leading cause of abortions in people and animals. This paper speculates that the pregnancy outcome may be affected by the Toxoplasma strain and the effectors of the parasite, both of which can modify the signaling pathways of the host cell.
Introduction
Fetuses infected with the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii can develop a disorder known as toxoplasmosis, sometimes called congenital toxoplasmosis. This disease is transmitted from mother to child in the womb. A miscarriage or a stillbirth might happen as a result. A child with this illness may also have significant and progressively deteriorating difficulties in their vision, hearing, motor skills, cognitive ability, and other areas of development. The parasite Toxoplasma gondii is blamed for many pregnancies ending in miscarriage (Arranz-Solís et al., 2021). Most abortions happen in the first trimester of pregnancy or during the early stages of acute sickness. This research aimed to determine if women who had an abortion were more likely to be infected with toxoplasmosis.
To make matters worse, the toxoplasmosis-causing Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular pathogen that infects nearly every animal species with a thermoregulatory system. Transferring Toxoplasma from one host to another requires the development of tissue cysts that are infectious when ingested. This means the parasite is incentivized to ensure that the host organism lives during the infection. The parasite does this by stimulating an immune response powerful enough to limit parasite reproduction. Toxoplasma, on the other hand, uses a unique set of effectors to evade the immune response and ensure that the parasite population does not decrease to zero.
Results
Type II strains are the most common cause of infection in both animal and human hosts. However, all four clonal lineages of Toxoplasma may be found throughout Europe and North America. It has been established, however, that the bulk of the South American isolates identified is genetically distinct from the strains seen in North America and Europe. Certain sorts of isolates have been labeled as atypical strains. Birth abnormalities apart, type II strains are the most common in Europe and North America, where the great majority of .

Chapter 11
The Frivolity of Evil
Theodore Dalrymple
When prisoners are released from prison, they often say that they have paid their debt to
society. This is absurd, of course: crime is not a matter of double-entry bookkeeping. You
cannot pay a debt by having caused even greater expense, nor can you pay in advance for
a bank robbery by offering to serve a prison sentence before you commit it. Perhaps, meta-
phorically speaking, the slate is wiped clean once a prisoner is released from prison, but
the debt is not paid off.
It would be just as absurd for me to say, on my imminent retirement after 14 years of
my hospital and prison work, that I have paid my debt to society. I had the choice to do
something more pleasing if I had wished, and I was paid, if not munificently, at least ade-
quately. I chose the disagreeable neighborhood in which I practiced because, medically
speaking, the poor are more interesting, at least to me, than the rich: their pathology is
more florid, their need for attention greater. Their dilemmas, if cruder, seem to me more
compelling, nearer to the fundamentals of human existence. No doubt I also felt my ser-
vices would be more valuable there: in other words, that I had some kind of duty to per-
form. Perhaps for that reason, like the prisoner on his release, I feel I have paid my debt to
society. Certainly, the work has taken a toll on me, and it is time to do something else.
Someone else can do battle with the metastasizing social pathology of Great Britain, while
I lead a life aesthetically more pleasing to me.
My work has caused me to become perhaps unhealthily preoccupied with the problem
of evil. Why do people commit evil? What conditions allow it to flourish? How is it best pre-
vented and, when necessary, suppressed? Each time I listen to a patient recounting the
cruelty to which he or she has been subjected, or has committed (and I have listened to
several such patients every day for 14 years), these questions revolve endlessly in my mind.
No doubt my previous experiences fostered my preoccupation with this problem. My
mother was a refugee from Nazi Germany, and though she spoke very little of her life be-
fore she came to Britain, the mere fact that there was much of which she did not speak
gave evil a ghostly presence in our household.

Later, I spent several years touring the world, often in places where atrocity had re-
cently been, or still was being, committed. In Central America, I witnessed civil war fought
between guerrilla groups intent on imposing totalitarian tyranny on their societies, opposed
by armies that didn’t scruple to resort to massacre. In Equatorial Guinea, the current dicta-
tor was the nephew and henchman of the last dictator, who had killed or drive.

(CCH) P11,677
February 6, 1985, Argued and Submitted - Los Angeles, California
September 16, 1985, Decided
PRIOR HISTORY: [**1] Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, D.C.
NO. CV-80-1810-N, Honorable Leland C. Nielsen, District Judge, Presiding.
CASE SUMMARY:
PROCEDURAL POSTURE: Plaintiff professional football player appealed from judgments of the United States
District Court for the Southern District of California entered in favor of defendant union on plaintiff's claim for breach
of the duty of fair representation and in favor of defendant attorneys on plaintiff's legal malpractice claim.
OVERVIEW: Plaintiff football player filed suit against defendant union for breach of the duty of fair representation,
alleging that defendant attorneys, who were staff counsel for defendant union, erroneously advised him to file the wrong
type of grievance and failed to rectify the error when there was an opportunity to do so. Plaintiff also claimed that
defendant attorneys committed malpractice. The trial court entered judgment for defendants. On appeal, the court
affirmed. The court found that defendant union did not act in an arbitrary, discriminatory, or bad faith manner and held
that mere negligence or an error in judgment was insufficient to impose liability for breach of the duty of fair
representation. The court affirmed the directed verdict in favor of defendant first attorney because a union attorney may
not be held liable in malpractice to an individual union member for acts performed as the union's agent in the collective
bargaining process. The court affirmed the summary judgment entered in favor of defendant second attorney. The trial
court lacked personal jurisdiction over him because his only contact with the forum state were phone calls and letters.
OUTCOME: The court affirmed the judgment in favor of defendant union because it did not breach its duty of fair
representation. The court affirmed the directed verdict in favor of defendant first attorney because he was not liable in
malpractice to plaintiff football player for acts he performed as the union's agent. The court affi.

1. When drug prices increase at a faster rate than inflation, the .docx
1. When drug prices increase at a faster rate than inflation, the groups of people that bear the burden of this increase are taxpayers and Medicare beneficiaries. Taxpayers are paying higher taxes as a result of increased government spending, and Medicare beneficiaries cannot keep up with the price of their prescriptions. When it comes to the factors in making a decision about increasing drug prices, I believe Big Pharma companies should act in a socially responsible manner, meaning they should base their decisions not solely on profit, and not solely on healthcare. There should be a balance, and new policies would be beneficial to help maintain that balance.
2. Lower-level employees have the responsibility to provide accurate information to management so that they can make the most informed decision. Lower-level employees also have the responsibility to not purposefully make material mistakes or purposefully not correct a known mistake.
3. Increased government spending will increase taxes for taxpayers and decrease available spending for other worthy issues. Taxpayers will essentially pay more in taxes and therefore have less income available. With drug prices rising faster than inflation, this will cause a widening gap between annual income and costs. Also, private health insurance costs will increase premiums and out of pocket costs for members. The stakeholders most directly impacted are the senior citizens that are dependent on their medication and can’t afford it or any other out of pocket costs because of the already wide gap between their income and expenses. I believe the government itself can be seen as a stakeholder as well because as they continue to increase Medicare funding, their deficit increases, causing them to take action to allocate resources effectively.
4. If the increase in price of existing drugs is preventing those who need those drugs from obtaining them, then to me it is hard to justify the increase based on R&D. There will always be a trade-off between affordable drugs and how quickly we can get new drugs. The government must devise a policy that improves Big Pharma companies’ incentive for affordability
and innovation.
5. Explain what you think each of the following statements means in the context of moral development.
. How far are you willing to go to do the right thing?
1. Stage 6 of moral development is about universal “self-chosen” ethical principles. This stage is about following your conscience even if it violates the law. In thinking of moral development, as time passes, one’s level of ethical reasoning advances and some issues may spark moral outrage that force a response.
. How much are you willing to give up to do what you believe is right?
1. This statement relates to moral development and how sometimes doing the right thing can have negative consequences. For example, an employee may notice a purposeful mistake by a manager. Let’s assume the employee is certain they will receiv.

1. How did the case study impact your thoughts about your own finances?
2. What were your thoughts and observations as you created your own balance sheet?
3. How might the balance sheet help you in future financial planning?
4. How close to reality do you think your estimated personal cash flow statement will be if you track your actual income and expenses for a month?
1. It gave me the desire to track my finances more closely and objectively. I liked how we can determine our net worth through some simple calculations and our inflows and outflows per month. Generally, I rely on simple finance apps like
Mint to track my finances. Currently, I do not create monthly budgets, but I now believe such action could be helpful.
2. I know that I have more assets than I am counting in the excel sheet. Therefore, my net worth is potentially higher. I also have a variety of streaming platforms.
I would benefit from switching from one platform to another month by month to save money. Streaming platforms are not a significant expense. Currently, my most considerable expense is transportation. Since gas prices are falling, this will help increase my surplus.
3. Accounting is math: it either works or doesn’t. Each can be traced from its inception (a sale, an expense, a money transfer) to the line on the financial statement. Since I don’t have much experience with financials, I try to seek out a mentor who is a family member. A balance sheet will ensure that I am not spending foolishly and ensure I am making appropriate purchases within the limits I set for myself. Proper planning will ensure I maximize my net worth.
4. It is important to consider cash flow when planning for the future
. It is important to save money every month in order to be able to make better financial decisions in the future. I hope to use some investing approaches for beginners to purchase funds without getting into debt. Most people underestimate how much they truly spend in a month. Therefore, I am underestimating how much I spend as well. I eat out quite a bit with friends and family, so my restaurant bill for the holidays might be higher than anticipated.

THE BIOGRAPHY OF LANGSTON HUGHES
2
On February 1, 1901, James Mercer Langston Hughes was born. He was born in
Joplin, Missouri, to James and Caroline Hughes, into a family of enslaved people and
enslavers (Leach, 2004). His father departed from the family, later divorcing their family,
forcing Langston's mother to move to Lawrence, Kansas, with his maternal grandmother. It
was from the latter that Langston learned about African American traditions, installing an
enormous sense of pride into the young man (Hughes et al., 2001). This greatly influenced his
writing, as evidenced by poems such as Mother to Son. He would then go on to join
Columbia University to study engineering, where he would write poetry for the Columbia
Daily Spectator. As a result of racial discrimination, he finally left the school and resided in
Harlem, where he was engulfed by the vibrant feeling of life (Leach, 2004).
Langston began cruising as a crewman aboard the S.S. Malone in 1923, after doing a
few odd jobs. He subsequently took his first white-collar job as Carter G. Woodson's assistant
at the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, a historian. He'd then
leave his work since it didn't enable him to write. He would later work as a busboy. He got
his big writing break when he met Vachel Lindsay, a famous poet of the time, with whom
Langston shared his poetry (Leach, 2004). Lindsay was heavily impressed and helped
Langston reach the big stage. Langston then went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from
Lincoln University.
Langston began his literary career in 1921 by publishing The Crisis in the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People magazine (Leach, 2004). The poem
Mother to Son was in this book and would go on to get much acclaim. He would go on to
release The Weary Blues along with other novels, short stories, and poems (Hughes et al.,
2001). He participated heavily in the Harlem Renaissance. Langston would pass away on
May 22, 1967, from surgery complications while being treated for prostate cancer.

Well, son, I’ll tell you:
Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.
It’s had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor—
Bare.
But all the time
I’se been a-climbin’ on,
And reachin’ landin’s,
And turnin’ corners,
And sometimes goin’ in the dark
Where there ain’t been no light.
So boy, don’t you turn back.
Don’t you set down on the steps
’Cause you finds it’s kinder hard.
Don’t you fall now—
For I’se still goin’, honey,
I’se still climbin’,
And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.

It is to set the mechanism for recalling vehicles with manufacturing defects that affect in
one way or another the safety of vehicles and their users, and this is done by linking a
unified system in which the defective vehicle data is added and called in the system to
the maintenance centers of the concerned vehicle agencies. Workmanship defects are
classified as: (1) Basic defects, which are considered to have a serious and direct impact
on the safety of the vehicle and its users, and the inspection process cannot be passed
until after the defect is fixed. (2) Warning defects, which are considered a defect in the
product, but the effect of the defect does not threaten the safety of the vehicle and its
users pass the examination process and the defect is added as a warning only.
This research proposal aims to find the most effective way to reach every defected
vehicle and the effective way to deal with the vehicle owner to do the necessary changes
especially if it's related to safety in a systematic way. The purpose of the project is to
develop a new business model that was never used everywhere in the world and Saudi
Arabia will take the lead to publish this model to the rest of the world. Ensuring that the
practice will be used is the most effective practise as enabling to force the defected car
owner to have their vehicles fixed and the defected was solved.

4Week 7 Discussion Ageing and the brain memory.docx
- 1. 4 Week 7 Discussion Ageing and the brain memory Student’s name Instructor Course 1 Date Ageing and the Brain Memory Memory resides in a region of the brain called the hippocampus, and recent studies have implicated two distinct but related functions for this region: pattern separation and pattern completion (Freberg, 2019). One definition of pattern completeness is the capacity to recall previously visited locations after a period has passed, even if some of the specifics have changed. However, pattern separation entails keeping separate the various interactions that took place throughout several visits. In particular, the parts of the brain responsible for memory decline rapidly with age. The hippocampus, a brain region, loses around 5 percent of its nerve cells per decade after age 20 (Freberg, 2019). As people become older, the hippocampus loses inhibitory neurons. It has been demonstrated both in the memory-unimpaired (AU) and memory-impaired (AI) elderly brain that the number of inhibitory neurons in the hilum of the dentate gyrus decreases, albeit the number of
- 2. inhibitory neurons in other hippocampal sub-regions decreases as well (Fraundorf et al., 2019). The dentate gyrus and proximal CA3 are two important sub-regions for pattern separation calculations, and their intricate feedforward and feedback linkages are notable. A key factor in the dynamics of a network is the equilibrium between excitation and inhibition. Age-related declines in working memory skills, the capacity to build new episodic memories, response speed, eye-blink conditioning, and reduced blood flow in memory- and cognition-related regions of the brain were among those emphasized by Freberg. Brain structure and chemistry mirror these changes in cognitive performance. When we reach the middle of our lives, our brains undergo a series of gradual but observable changes. Less lateralization in certain processes essential for memory and cognition, and in regions of enhanced activity, are indications of this remodeling in the brain. According to Freberg (2019), the explanation lies in the fact that the aging brain has a harder time clearing extracellular adenosine, which in turn influences memory consolidation. To be sure, adenosine suppresses a memory-related signaling pathway. A decline in white matter and worse sleep quality are also mentioned as reasons of these age-related cognitive declines. There are also some further monoamine alterations that occur in the brain. Freberg says that the serotonergic pathway oversees a wide range of cognitive functions and behaviors, including waking up and staying awake, regulating emotions and moods, controlling aggressiveness, maintaining a healthy weight, and maintaining a balanced energy level. Appetite, sleep, memory, learning, body temperature, mood, muscular contraction, and the cardiovascular and endocrine systems are all directly influenced by these processes and behaviors. Both serotonin receptors and transporters become less abundant as we become older. The aging brain undergoes both volume reduction and cortical thinning, both of which are influenced by changes at the level of individual neurons. Dendrites are retracted and neuron sizes
- 3. are reduced due to the breakdown of the fatty myelin sheath that protects the axons. Loss of synapses, or connections, between brain cells may also impair cognitive functions including learning and remembering. In addition, less S1 receptors are present in the frontal cortex, putamen, and caudate nucleus (Pluvinage & Wyss-Coray, 2020). Additionally, serotonin transporter binding ability is decreased in the thalamus and midbrain. References Freberg, L. (2019).
