Global Water Crisis With everyday lives, people take showers, cook, clean, and drink with water. People may not think about it much, but water is very vital to life. Roughly about 97% of the earth is covered with saltwater. Yet, only 2.5% of the earth’s surface is covered with fresh water. The global water crisis is a major problem in the world, and most people are not doing much to conserve the water that is available. The world is in a high demand of water, yet there is not much water available…

hard for low income families to get over to get healthy foods, however improving and expanding public transport or giving government subsidies to make low income areas more lucrative to supermarkets would help the current healthcare crisis. Furthermore, the effect of a child eating unhealthily can be long term and affect every aspect of their life, social, mental, and physical. Eating unhealthy foods can cause chronic, debilitating, and deadly diseases even if the person eats healthily later…

The early symptoms may include: lack of energy, constant hunger, itchy skin, and frequent urination. As the disease progresses, the symptoms become more severe and potentially dangerous due to the effects it has on the body. Diabetes has a severe effect on your heart which can cause your body to become resistant to insulin. Insulin is a naturally occurring hormone which your pancreas produces it and releases it when you eat. Insulin helps transport…

scientists believe this data shows that long-chain fatty acids are able to activate the ERK pathway via CD36 before it is degraded. Further experiments showed that ERK activation is reduced as quickly as 20 minutes. Scientists then wanted to see if CD36’s effect on the ERK1/2 affects the proteins involved in the production chylomicrons, apoB48 and MTP. The results showed that long-chain fatty acid treatment increased apoB48 after 10 minutes when ERK1/2 was highest and MTP after 20 minutes when ERK1/2 activation…

The Global Water Crisis As Americans, we have never really suffered through a water crisis. If we want to take a shower, we just take one. If we need to do dishes or laundry, we just run our washers. We can’t fathom what much of the world goes through when it comes to water issues. For the most part, we’ve always had water and never had to work too hard to get access. This precious, yet finite resource has been used and abused in our country, while much of the world struggles. To make matters worse…

quantity, and low cost. The production of activated carbon from bagasse offers a huge opportunity to overcome the problem of the disposal of SCB in Egypt. A synergistic effect when using powdered titania and a powdered activated carbon in the photo-catalytic degradation of organic pollutants has been already observed. This synergy effect was ascribed to the creation of a common contact interface between both solid phases and to a transfer of organic pollutant adsorbed on activated carbon to titania where…

(especially using thyme essential oil; note that thymol is a compound found in numerous plant species). In a study conducted with male albino rats, the researchers investigated the effect of raw thyme oil (along with other raw oils such as fenugreek, sesame, cod liver, and hazelnut) on serum glucose level and liver and kidney function (84). The researchers found that thyme, fenugreek, organic olive, and cod liver oils effectively prevented the side effects of diabetes on liver function. On the other…

they do not have the means to find the curing specialty drug. State Medicaid covers many health plans, but some states neglect to cover the specialty drug, Sovaldi; although the addition of coverage for this treatment will have short term negative impacts, the long term effects will overshadow the initial issues. Because of a recent incident in which a pharmaceutical company overcharged for a drug, presidential candidate Clinton and Senator Sanders introduced a plan of action that addresses drug price…

hypothalamus activated the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis to release hormones, which resulted in an increased level of cortisol, thyroid hormone, growth hormone, aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone. As these hormones can subsidize the overall effect of stress (Gordon & Craft, 2011, pp. 1047-1051) the ability of pancreatic Beta cells to secrete insulin became less efficient, which leaded to a decreased plasma insulin level during surgery. Accordingly, the impaired insulin secretion caused oxidation…

Proposal to Ease the Water Crisis in São Paulo Imagine yourself living a life where water for basic needs are scarce. That is what is happening in São Paulo, the biggest city of Brazil, and the most financially important city. After years with specialists advising about the water situation in Brazil, the catastrophe finally arrived. The water crisis came such as a hurricane, which when it comes destroys everything ahead. And because of the government’s negligence towards environmental matters, the…
