ABSTRACT
The Emergency Department (ED) is a key source of care for
victims of sexual violence but there is little information available about
the extent to which EDs are prepared to provide this care. This study
examines the structural and process factors that the ED has in place to
assist victims. A survey of all 82 publicly accessible EDs in the
Commonwealth of Virginia was conducted (RR 76%). In general, the
EDs provide the recommended medical care to victims. However, at
least half do not have the needed resources in place to effectively assist
victims and most (80%) do not provide regular training to their medical
staff about sexual violence. Further, almost one-quarter do not have a
relationship with a local rape crisis center. It is recommended that each
ED partner with local rape crisis centers to provide training to their
staff and to ensure continuity of support for victims. It is also
suggested that the state government explore ways in which a forensic
(SANE) nurse be made available to every victim of sexual violence that
presents to the ED for medical assistance. Ideally, each ED would
become part of a community-wide Sexual Assault Response Team
286 JHHSA WINTER 2006
(SART) in order to provide comprehensive care to victims and
thorough evidence collection and information to law enforcement.
INTRODUCTION
This study seeks to examine the extent to which
Emergency Departments (EDs) in the Commonwealth of
Virginia are prepared to provide care for victims of sexual
violence through an examination of both structural and
process factors that are currently in place. Many studies
indicate that sexual violence victimization has both long-
term and short-term health consequences (Plichta and Falik,
2001; see also Rentoul and Applebloom 1997; Cloutier,
Martin and Poole, 2002; Bohn and Holz, 1996). The ED is
a key source of care for victims of sexual assault. It is one
of the first points of entry to care. Competent care by
professionals trained in treating sexual assault victims is
critical to the timely recovery of physical and mental
health. The ED also plays a critical role in the collection of
evidence that may lead to the conviction of the perpetrator
and a recent study found that specially trained (forensic)
nurses perform this function significantly better than do
other staff (Sievers, Murphy and Miller, 2003). Forensic
nurses are registered nurses (R.N.’s) who have advanced
training in the examination of sexual assault victims; this
includes training on legal aspe.

The Elements and Principles of Design A Guide to Design Term.docx
The Elements and Principles of Design
A Guide to Design Terminology
The elements of design are some of the basic building blocks that make up the design or artwork.
Understanding and using this terminology can help the designer articulate what works and what doesn’t
work in a design, and to think critically about a design on a more conscious level. Combined, the elements
and principles of design can make for a strong, complete and well-established composition. The principles
of Gestalt, which arise from the elements of design, are included at the end of this document. Learning to
use these elements and principles will be the focus of Beginning Design.
The elements of design are: Point, Line, Form, Value, Texture, Shape, Space, Color
(Color is covered in Art 110; we will be focusing on black, white, and gray scale values.)
DEFINITIONS:
A Point is a position in space.
A Line is the path of a moving point. Two points connected make a line. Lines often imply motion, and can
be rendered in a variety of ways. Contour lines or outlines, define the boundary between shapes. Lines can
create texture or value when used in crosshatching. In addition to these types of actual lines, our eyes can
invent implied lines, such as in dotted lines, or where area boundaries describe lines that may not be there.
Shape is a two dimensional form. The variety of possible shapes is endless. Several common ones are as
follows:
• Simple Geometric: circles, squares, triangles are some of the examples.
• Complex Geometric: straight and curved shapes that have more sides and angles.
• Curvilinear: French curves, ellipses, circles and ovals used in combination.
• Accidental: an example of this might be a coffee ring or paint splatters.
Form is a shape with dimension, an object existing in three dimensional space physically or implied.
Value is the tone created by black, white and shades of gray. The value or tone of an element can create
mass, dimension, emphasis or volume.
Texture can be actual or visual.
• Actual texture is tactile: you can feel it by touching it.
• Visual texture are the markings of a two dimensional artwork that imply actual texture.
Space is an illusion or feeling of 3-dimensionality, which can be created in a two-dimensional design in
several ways, for example:
• Overlapping one object in front of another;
• Using differences in value, amount of detail, etc. between elements;
• Using techniques related to linear perspective, such as differences in size or height on page between
elements
The principles of design are: Unity, Variety, Movement, Balance, Emphasis, Contrast, Proportion,
and Pattern.
DEFINITIONS:
Unity or harmony is the quality of wholeness or oneness that is achieved through the effective use of the
elements and principles of design. The most basic quality of a design or artwork, unity gives a piece the
feeling of being an integrated human expression. The princi.

The eligibility requirements to become a family nurse practition.docx
The eligibility requirements to become a family nurse practitioner include completion of “APRN core (advance physical assessment, advanced pharmacology, and advanced pathophysiology), supervised clinical hours, completion of an accredited graduate program with evidence of an academic transcript, and an active nurse license” (American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, 2021).
The value associated with certification as an FNP is very personal to me. Along with providing higher quality care to clientele, I will have a more fulfilled inner sense of purpose and also be able to provide for my family in a higher capacity than I was previously able to, with an estimated average nurse practitioner salary being over $100,000 annually in the state of Wisconsin. Achieving both my master's and nurse practitioner certification would allow my employer, fellow professional comrades, and most of all; my clients, to have a higher sense of security knowing I’ve worked and studied hard to bring them the highest quality care available. Staying up to date on my continuing education and state-of-the-art processes and pathology will also instill confidence in my clientele to not only continue coming to me with their individual and family healthcare needs but likely will ensure referrals into my practice.
Any time a nurse genuinely takes on a holistic approach towards the practical application of nursing theory, a client is in a better position for patient-centered care, maintaining anonymity, and ensuring positive effective communication during the care process. In the nursing profession, nurses need to not only advocate for their clients, but themselves by participating in associations that work towards advancing the field through by working towards lower nurse-to-client ratios to decrease burnout, leadership education, and opportunity, and also grants to advance continuing education.

ABSTRACT
Creating and running software produces large amounts of raw data
about the development process and the customer usage, which can
be turned into actionable insight with the help of skilled data scien-
tists. Unfortunately, data scientists with the analytical and software
engineering skills to analyze these large data sets have been hard to
come by; only recently have software companies started to develop
competencies in software-oriented data analytics. To understand
this emerging role, we interviewed data scientists across several
product groups at Microsoft. In this paper, we describe their educa-
tion and training background, their missions in software engineer-
ing contexts, and the type of problems on which they work. We
identify five distinct working styles of data scientists: (1) Insight
Providers, who work with engineers to collect the data needed to
inform decisions that managers make; (2) Modeling Specialists,

1. INTRODUCTION
Software teams are increasingly using data analysis to inform their
engineering and business decisions [1] and to build data solutions
that utilize data in software products [2]. The people who do col-
lection and analysis are called data scientists, a term coined by DJ
Patil and Jeff Hammerbacher in 2008 to define their jobs at
LinkedIn and Facebook [3]. The mission of a data scientist is to
transform data into insight, providing guidance for leaders to take
action [4]. One example is the use of user telemetry data to redesign
Windows Explorer (a tool for file management) for Windows 8.
Data scientists on the Windows team discovered that the top ten
most frequent commands accounted for 81.2% of all of invoked
commands, but only two of these were easily accessible from the
command bar in the user interface 8 [5]. Based on this insight, the
team redesigned the user experience to make these hidden com-
mands more prominent.
Until recently, data scientists were found mostly on software teams
whose products were data-intensive, like internet search and adver-
tising. Today, we have reached an inflection point where many.

The economic and financial crisis from 2008 to 2009, also known .docx
The economic and financial crisis from 2008 to 2009, also known as the global financial crisis, was considered to be the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. The general situation of financial markets has been additionally complicated by the introduction of new financial products as well as other modes of operations including globalization. The global financial market seems to be playing a different function in our economy and it has been working because of new regulations. The introduction of new trade platforms, online access to information, integration and globalization of the market have caused some revisions of finance theories.
What are reliable predictors of economic and financial crises (list at least 3 of them)?
Describe some achievements and some pending issues in context of a global crisis.
Are we still in danger of economic and financial crises today (please refer to current Covid-19 situation)?

The Early Novel in the Western World Listen to the AudioEarly We.docx
The Early Novel in the Western World
Listen to the Audio
Early Western literature, especially the picaresque tale, flourished in Spain. These often quite long stories narrated the adventures of a soldier of fortune living the carefree life on the open road and getting involved in all sorts of intrigues and love affairs. The Spanish also had tales similar to the King Arthur legends, dealing with the adventures on the road of brave and dashing knights who were superheroes; tremendous in battle and noble and chivalrous toward their true loves.
The first known major novelist of the Western world was Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547–1616), whose life span closely parallels Shakespeare’s. His Don Quixote (written between 1612 and 1615) remains one of the most popular and beloved of all novels. The central character is an old man who has read so many stories of brave knights that he has gone mad and believes himself to be one of them. Riding a broken-down old horse named Rocinante and attended by his faithful squire Sancho Panza, he goes off in search of glorious adventure (Figure 4.1). Intended originally as a satire on the ridiculous excesses of the wandering knight story, Don Quixote became, in the opinion of many, a tragic tale of an idealist who sees the world not as it is but as it ought to be: a world in which people are driven by the noblest of motives, chivalry prevails, and love means forever. As an adventure story, Don Quixote influenced the work of many novelists who followed, setting the pattern for long, loosely structured yarns that would find a home in the magazine serials of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The serial was a publishing gimmick, each episode ending with the hero or heroine in a perilous strait, and thus keeping the reader coming back to purchase more issues.
The English novel had its true beginnings in the eighteenth century. The coming of the magazine fostered a passion for fiction that had potential novelists busily scribbling. But the period was also one of a passion for science and its search for truth. Those who dictated the taste of the reading public insisted that a lengthy published work, to be worth the time spent in reading it, must at least pretend to be a true story. Consequently, much fiction was passed off as biography or autobiography, and this meant that the author’s real name was often omitted. For example, Gulliver’s Travels (1726) by Jonathan Swift and Robinson Crusoe (1719) by Daniel Defoe, two enduringly popular works of fiction, pretended to be nonfictional accounts of actual adventures, and Pamela: Virtue Rewarded (1740), by Samuel Richardson was an epistolary novel, consisting solely of letters “written” by its 15-year-old heroine.
American writers were slow to gain recognition and respect abroad. In the early nineteenth century, British critics were asking, “Who reads an American book or goes to see an American play?” These questions incurred the wrath of American authors, who promp.
The Earth SystemEarth is the third planet from the sun in our so.docx
The Earth System
Earth is the third planet from the sun in our solar system. Earth orbits the sun in an elliptical (oval) path. Earth’s orbit is sometimes called the “Goldilocks zone.” Mercury and Venus travel too close to the sun to sustain life—they’re “too hot.” Planets beyond Earth travel too far from the sun—they’re “too cold.” But Earth is “just right.” (Note that there’s evidence that Mars—the Red Planet—once may have sustained microscopic life on its surface. However, conditions on the Red Planet no longer seem favorable.)
The term “Earth system” refers to the different processes and cycles that exist on the planet. All of these work together to sustain life. The four domains of the Earth system include the geosphere, the hydrosphere, the atmosphere, and the biosphere. Let’s quickly review each of these.
Layers of Earth
(NASA public domain image)
The geosphere refers to the solid portion of the planet. It includes the rocks and minerals that make up the continents as well as the ocean floor. It also includes structures within Earth, including the liquid mantle and the dense, solid, metallic core. Nonliving surface ground layers, such as desert sands and volcanic rock, are part of the geosphere.
The hydrosphere includes all the water on or near Earth’s surface. The oceans are the major component of the hydrosphere. They make up 97 percent of the Earth’s water. Glaciers and polar ice caps make up about 2 percent of the hydrosphere. Only about 1 percent of the hydrosphere is made up of the liquid freshwater found in ponds, streams, rivers, lakes, and underground water reservoirs (aquifers).
Aquifers are the main freshwater source in America’s “breadbasket” states of the Midwest and Great Plains. (“Breadbasket” states get their name from the volume of wheat, a primary ingredient in bread, grown there.) The hydrosphere extends several miles above the surface of the planet into the atmosphere, mainly in the form of water vapor.
Water vapor is water in its gaseous state. Precipitation is water released from the clouds. It may take the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail. It’s part of the water cycle.
For more information on the hydrosphere, follow this link: What is the HYDROSPHERE?
The atmosphere is the planet’s blanket. It allows living beings on the planet to breathe. It also protects us from the unfriendly features of the universe, such as meteors, cosmic radiation, and the effects of solar flares.
The atmosphere is made up of a variety of layers, as follows:
Earth’s Atmosphere
(NASA public domain image)
· The troposphere is the densest part of the atmosphere. It starts at Earth’s surface and extends upward from about 5 miles (in the higher or lower latitudes) to 9 miles (over the equatorial regions). Most of our weather takes place here.
· The stratosphere extends from the troposphere upward about 31 miles. The ozone layer, which protects the planet from solar ultraviolet radiation, is located in this region.

The Effects of Smoking in Pregnant Women
Background
The following section highlights some historical and reviewed information or material on smoking during pregnancy, and some of the effects the practice has not only on the unborn children but also on the mothers. Most people associate smoking with heart disease, cancer and major health conditions that have been documented in different scholarly materials. Smoking during the period of pregnancy is attributed to additional health challenges most of which are connected with the well-being of the unborn child (Banderali et al., 2015). It has been documented that smoking cigarettes is the leading cause of preventable deaths in several parts of the country and the rest of the world. Estimated figures of smoking prevalence during pregnancy are most of the time derived from self-reported data and information.
Validation of these data and information using biochemical markers like cotinine has most of the time shown that women who are pregnant may hide their smoking especially when they understand the kind of reactions they could be exposed to. As a result, the self-reported smoking prevalence data and information during pregnancy is underestimated (Banderali et al., 2015). Since negative attitudes towards maternal smoking have been on the increasing trend over the recent past, the validity and credibility of self-reported smoking data and information may be of special attention (Banderali et al., 2015).
This literature perspective brings forth an understanding on the consequences of smoking during pregnancy from the perspective of brain functioning and how the developing fetus is likely to be affected by the common practice. Banderali et al. (2015) stress that mothers often want healthy babies full of life and with a high brain capacity. However, smoking has been illustrated to have an immediate impact on how the fetus is developed and how the capacity of the brain is affected. Environmental factors can massively modulate genetically programmed development of the brain during the fetal life, and maternal smoking is a harmful factor (Banderali et al., 2015). It is saddening that while pregnant mothers and other people in the society have widespread and detailed knowledge and information on the consequences of smoking on the development of the fetus, statistics still show that more than 20 percent of women in this category continue with the practice in several parts of the world, Europe and United States not left behind (Ekblad, Korkeila & Lehtonen, 2015).
Statistics speculate that women and first-time mothers especially those coming from low-income families are worst hit by the effects of smoking during pregnancy, as compared to the older women who have had mo.
The Effects of Media Violence on BehaviorThe topic effects of me.docx
The Effects of Media Violence on Behavior
The topic effects of media violence on behavior is aimed at establishing how the consumption of violent content alter or build our behaviors especially in the younger generation, the adolescents.
Considering the fact that almost in every media there is violence, action movies (movies in general), video games (Grand Theft Auto), YouTube and other social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook. All these platforms are where we spend most of our time and one is likely to come across a violent content on a daily. Therefore, if this happens in couple of days in a year it means that this violent portrayal in the media will become the new reality. What does this mean, it means that the entertainment industry pushes violence in each one of us and especially the younger demographic. Who might grow up with some psychological conditions that might be developed from being exposed to violence either virtual or real life violence.
Therefore, this topic is relevant and relevant to the society mainly because, of the concern of psychological development of the younger generation. A good example is the Columbine Tragedy, a mass shooting in ahigh that left 15 students dead and 21 individuals injured. The forensics officers and psychiatrists linked the behavior of the suspects from the exposure to violent video games and violent music. While it might not be taken seriously but media violence can harbor violent tendencies in individuals who have predisposed conditions, such as psychopathy and depression and suicidal conditions.
The aspects of the topic that will be the main focus, is how virtual or comic violence can pass through the brain as real-life violence. Why does the people affected do not know how to distinguish between virtual violence and real-life violence?

THE DURATION OF CUTANEOUS SENSATION (I)AND THE IMPROVEMENT O.docx
THE DURATION OF CUTANEOUS SENSATION (I)
AND THE IMPROVEMENT OF ITS SENSIBLE
DISCRIMINATION BY PRACTICE (II)
BY K. C. MUKHERJEE
Dacca University
The experiment consists of two parts. The part chosen
for the two experiments is the same i.e. a small area—say
b—of the left forearm about 50 mm from the wrist on its
palmary side. An electro-magnetic pointer with an hair at-
tached to its end was used for the experiment. It was then,
through electric connection, attached to a metronome. So
the rapidity of successive contacts was determined by the
beats of the metronome and was gradually increased till they
fused to an unitary sensation. By the application of this
method it is observed that only two or three contacts in the
sec. are felt as just separate, and so the duration of the sensa-
tion of moderate intensity varies from .5 to .3 sec. But when
the intensity of the stimulus is greatly increased or it becomes
rather painful the duration is much altered. Not only the
sensitivity of the areas but also the intensity of the stimuli
employed affects considerably the duration: At the tip of the
finger the number of the separately felt contacts increases per
second and so the duration decreases while the intensity of
contact is moderately felt. The objective intensity of con-
tact varies subjectively in different areas of the skin. As
the felt intensity of the stimulas is greater, the lingering
sensation continues longer and so the duration increases. The
results of this experiment given by other observers are widely
divergent.1 The subjective difference of the intensity of con-
tact may have caused greatly this varying result. The sub-
ject A observes that though the continuity of contact is quite
clear, but still a vague feeling of succession seems to be mixed

in it. It appears that the stimulation spreads over to the
neighbouring points in varying intensity and subsides therein
earlier than in the point directly stimulated—thus causing the
vague feeling of succession inter-mingling with the fusion.
The wide divergence of results may also be due to the want
of proper discrimination on this point.
II
The same area which was explored for the duration of the
contact sensation was used to determine the improvement of
its discriminative delicacy by practice. In making this ex-
periment Spearmann's aesthesiometer was used. The experi-
ment was each day taken twice almost at the same time with
two subjects—one male and the other female, and was con-
tinued over a month. At each sitting thirty observations
were made with each subject. The subject remained blind-
fold with the arm comfortably placed on a 'felt.' The aesthe-
siometer was applied to the skin uniformly and the distance
between the points of contact was gradually increased or de-
creased as required for the method. In order to put off the
effect of fatigue, too many observations at one sitting were
carefully avoided by .

ABSTRACT
Creating and running software produces large amounts of raw data
about the development process and the customer usage, which can
be turned into actionable insight with the help of skilled data scien-
tists. Unfortunately, data scientists with the analytical and software
engineering skills to analyze these large data sets have been hard to
come by; only recently have software companies started to develop
competencies in software-oriented data analytics. To understand
this emerging role, we interviewed data scientists across several
product groups at Microsoft. In this paper, we describe their educa-
tion and training background, their missions in software engineer-
ing contexts, and the type of problems on which they work. We
identify five distinct working styles of data scientists: (1) Insight
Providers, who work with engineers to collect the data needed to
inform decisions that managers make; (2) Modeling Specialists,
who use their machine learning expertise to build predictive mod-
els; (3) Platform Builders, who create data platforms, balancing
both engineering and data analysis concerns; (4) Polymaths, who
do all data science activities themselves; and (5) Team Leaders,
who run teams of data scientists and spread best practices. We fur-
ther describe a set of strategies that they employ to increase the im-
pact and actionability of their work.

1. INTRODUCTION
Software teams are increasingly using data analysis to inform their
engineering and business decisions [1] and to build data solutions
that utilize data in software products [2]. The people who do col-
lection and analysis are called data scientists, a term coined by DJ
Patil and Jeff Hammerbacher in 2008 to define their jobs at
LinkedIn and Facebook [3]. The mission of a data scientist is to
transform data into insight, providing guidance for leaders to take
action [4]. One example is the use of user telemetry data to redesign
Windows Explorer (a tool for file management) for Windows 8.
Data scientists on the Windows team discovered that the top ten
most frequent commands accounted for 81.2% of all of invoked
commands, but only two of these were easily accessible from the
command bar in the user interface 8 [5]. Based on this insight, the
team redesigned the user experience to make these hidden com-
mands more prominent.
Until recently, data scientists were found mostly on software teams
whose products were data-intensive, like internet search and adver-
tising. Today, we have reached an inflection point where many.

The economic and financial crisis from 2008 to 2009, also known .docx
The economic and financial crisis from 2008 to 2009, also known as the global financial crisis, was considered to be the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. The general situation of financial markets has been additionally complicated by the introduction of new financial products as well as other modes of operations including globalization. The global financial market seems to be playing a different function in our economy and it has been working because of new regulations. The introduction of new trade platforms, online access to information, integration and globalization of the market have caused some revisions of finance theories.
What are reliable predictors of economic and financial crises (list at least 3 of them)?
Describe some achievements and some pending issues in context of a global crisis.
Are we still in danger of economic and financial crises today (please refer to current Covid-19 situation)?

The Early Novel in the Western World Listen to the AudioEarly We.docx
The Early Novel in the Western World
Listen to the Audio
Early Western literature, especially the picaresque tale, flourished in Spain. These often quite long stories narrated the adventures of a soldier of fortune living the carefree life on the open road and getting involved in all sorts of intrigues and love affairs. The Spanish also had tales similar to the King Arthur legends, dealing with the adventures on the road of brave and dashing knights who were superheroes; tremendous in battle and noble and chivalrous toward their true loves.
The first known major novelist of the Western world was Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547–1616), whose life span closely parallels Shakespeare’s. His Don Quixote (written between 1612 and 1615) remains one of the most popular and beloved of all novels. The central character is an old man who has read so many stories of brave knights that he has gone mad and believes himself to be one of them. Riding a broken-down old horse named Rocinante and attended by his faithful squire Sancho Panza, he goes off in search of glorious adventure (Figure 4.1). Intended originally as a satire on the ridiculous excesses of the wandering knight story, Don Quixote became, in the opinion of many, a tragic tale of an idealist who sees the world not as it is but as it ought to be: a world in which people are driven by the noblest of motives, chivalry prevails, and love means forever. As an adventure story, Don Quixote influenced the work of many novelists who followed, setting the pattern for long, loosely structured yarns that would find a home in the magazine serials of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The serial was a publishing gimmick, each episode ending with the hero or heroine in a perilous strait, and thus keeping the reader coming back to purchase more issues.
The English novel had its true beginnings in the eighteenth century. The coming of the magazine fostered a passion for fiction that had potential novelists busily scribbling. But the period was also one of a passion for science and its search for truth. Those who dictated the taste of the reading public insisted that a lengthy published work, to be worth the time spent in reading it, must at least pretend to be a true story. Consequently, much fiction was passed off as biography or autobiography, and this meant that the author’s real name was often omitted. For example, Gulliver’s Travels (1726) by Jonathan Swift and Robinson Crusoe (1719) by Daniel Defoe, two enduringly popular works of fiction, pretended to be nonfictional accounts of actual adventures, and Pamela: Virtue Rewarded (1740), by Samuel Richardson was an epistolary novel, consisting solely of letters “written” by its 15-year-old heroine.
American writers were slow to gain recognition and respect abroad. In the early nineteenth century, British critics were asking, “Who reads an American book or goes to see an American play?” These questions incurred the wrath of American authors, who promp.
The Earth SystemEarth is the third planet from the sun in our so.docx
The Earth System
Earth is the third planet from the sun in our solar system. Earth orbits the sun in an elliptical (oval) path. Earth’s orbit is sometimes called the “Goldilocks zone.” Mercury and Venus travel too close to the sun to sustain life—they’re “too hot.” Planets beyond Earth travel too far from the sun—they’re “too cold.” But Earth is “just right.” (Note that there’s evidence that Mars—the Red Planet—once may have sustained microscopic life on its surface. However, conditions on the Red Planet no longer seem favorable.)
The term “Earth system” refers to the different processes and cycles that exist on the planet. All of these work together to sustain life. The four domains of the Earth system include the geosphere, the hydrosphere, the atmosphere, and the biosphere. Let’s quickly review each of these.
Layers of Earth
(NASA public domain image)
The geosphere refers to the solid portion of the planet. It includes the rocks and minerals that make up the continents as well as the ocean floor. It also includes structures within Earth, including the liquid mantle and the dense, solid, metallic core. Nonliving surface ground layers, such as desert sands and volcanic rock, are part of the geosphere.
The hydrosphere includes all the water on or near Earth’s surface. The oceans are the major component of the hydrosphere. They make up 97 percent of the Earth’s water. Glaciers and polar ice caps make up about 2 percent of the hydrosphere. Only about 1 percent of the hydrosphere is made up of the liquid freshwater found in ponds, streams, rivers, lakes, and underground water reservoirs (aquifers).
Aquifers are the main freshwater source in America’s “breadbasket” states of the Midwest and Great Plains. (“Breadbasket” states get their name from the volume of wheat, a primary ingredient in bread, grown there.) The hydrosphere extends several miles above the surface of the planet into the atmosphere, mainly in the form of water vapor.
Water vapor is water in its gaseous state. Precipitation is water released from the clouds. It may take the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail. It’s part of the water cycle.
For more information on the hydrosphere, follow this link: What is the HYDROSPHERE?
The atmosphere is the planet’s blanket. It allows living beings on the planet to breathe. It also protects us from the unfriendly features of the universe, such as meteors, cosmic radiation, and the effects of solar flares.
The atmosphere is made up of a variety of layers, as follows:
Earth’s Atmosphere
(NASA public domain image)
· The troposphere is the densest part of the atmosphere. It starts at Earth’s surface and extends upward from about 5 miles (in the higher or lower latitudes) to 9 miles (over the equatorial regions). Most of our weather takes place here.
· The stratosphere extends from the troposphere upward about 31 miles. The ozone layer, which protects the planet from solar ultraviolet radiation, is located in this region.
· The mesosph.
The Efficacy of Executive Coaching inTimes of Organisational.docx
This study examined the impact of executive coaching on 31 executives during a period of organizational change at a global engineering firm. The executives participated in executive coaching sessions over 4 months. The study found that executive coaching was associated with:
1) Increased goal attainment, enhanced solution-focused thinking, and a greater ability to deal with change.
2) Increased leadership self-efficacy and resilience and a decrease in depression.
3) Positive impacts that generalized to non-work areas like family life.
The study provides empirical evidence that executive coaching can help executives develop skills needed to navigate organizational change.

The Effects of Smoking in Pregnant Women
Background
The following section highlights some historical and reviewed information or material on smoking during pregnancy, and some of the effects the practice has not only on the unborn children but also on the mothers. Most people associate smoking with heart disease, cancer and major health conditions that have been documented in different scholarly materials. Smoking during the period of pregnancy is attributed to additional health challenges most of which are connected with the well-being of the unborn child (Banderali et al., 2015). It has been documented that smoking cigarettes is the leading cause of preventable deaths in several parts of the country and the rest of the world. Estimated figures of smoking prevalence during pregnancy are most of the time derived from self-reported data and information.
Validation of these data and information using biochemical markers like cotinine has most of the time shown that women who are pregnant may hide their smoking especially when they understand the kind of reactions they could be exposed to. As a result, the self-reported smoking prevalence data and information during pregnancy is underestimated (Banderali et al., 2015). Since negative attitudes towards maternal smoking have been on the increasing trend over the recent past, the validity and credibility of self-reported smoking data and information may be of special attention (Banderali et al., 2015).
This literature perspective brings forth an understanding on the consequences of smoking during pregnancy from the perspective of brain functioning and how the developing fetus is likely to be affected by the common practice. Banderali et al. (2015) stress that mothers often want healthy babies full of life and with a high brain capacity. However, smoking has been illustrated to have an immediate impact on how the fetus is developed and how the capacity of the brain is affected. Environmental factors can massively modulate genetically programmed development of the brain during the fetal life, and maternal smoking is a harmful factor (Banderali et al., 2015). It is saddening that while pregnant mothers and other people in the society have widespread and detailed knowledge and information on the consequences of smoking on the development of the fetus, statistics still show that more than 20 percent of women in this category continue with the practice in several parts of the world, Europe and United States not left behind (Ekblad, Korkeila & Lehtonen, 2015).
Statistics speculate that women and first-time mothers especially those coming from low-income families are worst hit by the effects of smoking during pregnancy, as compared to the older women who have had mo.
The Effects of Media Violence on BehaviorThe topic effects of me.docx
The Effects of Media Violence on Behavior
The topic effects of media violence on behavior is aimed at establishing how the consumption of violent content alter or build our behaviors especially in the younger generation, the adolescents.
Considering the fact that almost in every media there is violence, action movies (movies in general), video games (Grand Theft Auto), YouTube and other social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook. All these platforms are where we spend most of our time and one is likely to come across a violent content on a daily. Therefore, if this happens in couple of days in a year it means that this violent portrayal in the media will become the new reality. What does this mean, it means that the entertainment industry pushes violence in each one of us and especially the younger demographic. Who might grow up with some psychological conditions that might be developed from being exposed to violence either virtual or real life violence.
Therefore, this topic is relevant and relevant to the society mainly because, of the concern of psychological development of the younger generation. A good example is the Columbine Tragedy, a mass shooting in ahigh that left 15 students dead and 21 individuals injured. The forensics officers and psychiatrists linked the behavior of the suspects from the exposure to violent video games and violent music. While it might not be taken seriously but media violence can harbor violent tendencies in individuals who have predisposed conditions, such as psychopathy and depression and suicidal conditions.
The aspects of the topic that will be the main focus, is how virtual or comic violence can pass through the brain as real-life violence. Why does the people affected do not know how to distinguish between virtual violence and real-life violence?

This resource will be used in the paper as it will help to dissect through the columbine tragedy and explain how violent media was responsible for the mass shooting in this school. Although there will various instances, this particularly is important as it is the first case dealing with adolescents that violent media or video games were tied to the violent tendencies of the adolescents.

THE DURATION OF CUTANEOUS SENSATION (I)AND THE IMPROVEMENT O.docx
THE DURATION OF CUTANEOUS SENSATION (I)
AND THE IMPROVEMENT OF ITS SENSIBLE
DISCRIMINATION BY PRACTICE (II)
BY K. C. MUKHERJEE
Dacca University
The experiment consists of two parts. The part chosen
for the two experiments is the same i.e. a small area—say
b—of the left forearm about 50 mm from the wrist on its
palmary side. An electro-magnetic pointer with an hair at-
tached to its end was used for the experiment. It was then,
through electric connection, attached to a metronome. So
the rapidity of successive contacts was determined by the
beats of the metronome and was gradually increased till they
fused to an unitary sensation. By the application of this
method it is observed that only two or three contacts in the
sec. are felt as just separate, and so the duration of the sensa-
tion of moderate intensity varies from .5 to .3 sec. But when
the intensity of the stimulus is greatly increased or it becomes
rather painful the duration is much altered. Not only the
sensitivity of the areas but also the intensity of the stimuli
employed affects considerably the duration: At the tip of the
finger the number of the separately felt contacts increases per
second and so the duration decreases while the intensity of
contact is moderately felt. The objective intensity of con-
tact varies subjectively in different areas of the skin. As
the felt intensity of the stimulas is greater, the lingering
sensation continues longer and so the duration increases. The
results of this experiment given by other observers are widely
divergent.1 The subjective difference of the intensity of con-
tact may have caused greatly this varying result. The sub-
ject A observes that though the continuity of contact is quite
clear, but still a vague feeling of succession seems to be mixed

in it. It appears that the stimulation spreads over to the
neighbouring points in varying intensity and subsides therein
earlier than in the point directly stimulated—thus causing the
vague feeling of succession inter-mingling with the fusion.
The wide divergence of results may also be due to the want
of proper discrimination on this point.
II
The same area which was explored for the duration of the
contact sensation was used to determine the improvement of
its discriminative delicacy by practice. In making this ex-
periment Spearmann's aesthesiometer was used. The experi-
ment was each day taken twice almost at the same time with
two subjects—one male and the other female, and was con-
tinued over a month. At each sitting thirty observations
were made with each subject. The subject remained blind-
fold with the arm comfortably placed on a 'felt.' The aesthe-
siometer was applied to the skin uniformly and the distance
between the points of contact was gradually increased or de-
creased as required for the method. In order to put off the
effect of fatigue, too many observations at one sitting were
carefully avoided by .
