Psychiatric Report on Miss Havisham
PSYCHIATRIC REPORT BY DR. JOHN SMTIH on the case of MISS.HAVISHAM. I am a Doctor of Medicine of Oxford University, and for the past 25 years have worked as a specialist in psychiatry, psycho-analysis and general medical psychology. I am the author of various text books and research monographs on these subjects. I have acted as consultant to various Public Schools in cases of psychopathic children and adolescents suffering from disorders of behaviour and/or delinquent conduct. I base my conclusions on the following evidence: I have had detailed psychiatric interviews with the following people: Her Mother, Mrs. Kate Havisham Her Father, Mr. John Havisham Her Brother, Mr. Scott Havisham Her Cleaner, Mrs. Una Amery SUMMARY OF THE SYMPTOMS ON WHICH THE DIAGNOSIS OF PSYCHOPATHIC CHARACTER IS BASED . An equally persistent and unchanging negativism of thought and action. This negativism has been so strong in her case as to suggest the existence of a psychotic disturbance of character usually found in schizoid characters or in cases of schizophrenia. 2. Persistent pathological fantasy's of young children. 3. Abnormal and often perverted sexual behaviour. 4. Outbursts of excitement and violence. 5. A complete absence of social conscience and total insensitivity to the pain or injury caused to her family and friends. Psychiatric Conclusion Miss Havisham has exhibited
Anthropology is the study of human beings
Paul Masson January 22, 2003 Hulya Demirdirek Anthropology is the study of human beings and how they live their social lives in groups. The Hutterites are an example of the way human beings live in a group setting. The documentary film "Born Hutterite" examines all aspects of being a member in a Hutterite colony. What they do, how they act and what is important to them as a group is examined in the film. This film focuses on a couple of individuals Sam and Mary who had left their colony to explore the outside world. A Hutterite colony is a group of farmers who share everything. Share money, food and work. You would think that this would lead to a worry free life. Marry and Sam tell a different story from their emic point of view. Mary's reality is that she is an older woman with many children who found herself constantly depressed. Her husband, also named Sam, was an alcoholic that felt he needed to drink constantly in order to live in the colony. Her husbands drinking problems led to her family being blamed for everything that went wrong in the colony. She felt that in this colony she had no individual freedom as well as no right to an opinion. During these depressing times she felt that her only escape might be to leave the colony. This was a difficult decision for her because being in the colony was the only security she had ever known.
Iron is considered a very important nutrient for any one at any stage of them lifecycle
Iron is considered a very important nutrient for any one at any stage of them lifecycle. It is especially essential in the diet of a pregnant woman. Iron is stored in the spleen, the bone marrow and the liver, it is then used when the body needs it. Iron allows oxygen and nutrients to travel to all parts of the body in the red blood cells. It does this in the form of haemoglobin. Mother and baby magazine states, ' It is normal for haemoglobin levels to drop a little during pregnancy.' The lower the haemoglobin levels, the thinner the blood. It is an advantage if the blood thins a little, as the oxygen and nutrients can be carried around quicker as the blood flows faster and more easily. If the blood thins too much this means the haemoglobin levels are too low and symptoms of iron deficiency anaemia may begin. Symptoms of iron deficiency anaemia include feeling washed out, feeling dizzy or faint, difficult with breathing, chest pains and a pale complexion. Anaemia is a problem with the quaintly or quality of the red blood cells with carry the oxygen and nutrients as haemoglobin. There are a few types of anaemia, but iron deficiency anaemia is the most common, 'The book of vitamins and minerals' by Karen Sullian states, '95% of all cases'. There is not a big danger for the mother or the baby short term and the heart rate increases to allow blood to get to all parts of the body
Should Euthanasia Be Legalised In England?
Tom Rubashow 26th March 2001 RE Essay Should Euthanasia Be Legalised In England? Euthanasia, a dignified death, causes such controversy all over the world. During this essay I will discuss whether euthanasia should be legalised in England. Within the essay, I will put my opinion across. This opinion will become very obvious from very early on but I will try and not let the opinion get in the way of the facts. I would first like to bring up the subject of Holland. In Holland euthanasia has been legalised and there people have been allowed to die via means of euthanasia, when consent is given. This in most cases has been successful, however there have been too many cases where consent has not been given. Is this a risk that should or should not be taken? Another key factor is what has happened in America. Over there, euthanasia is illegal, but still happens. As it is illegal it can cause less professional and more painful variations of euthanasia. Many would say that the only way to stop euthanasia is to legalise it over there and I feel the same needs to be applied here. We cannot afford these illegal, painful, unprofessional variations of euthanasia spreading. We must also realise euthanasia takes away pain from the person dying which many, myself included would say that it is better to die with honour, dignity and less pain, than live on with those factors getting
TOK - is it dangerous to trust experts?
After watching the incredible TED Talk video, delivered by the economist Noreena Hertz, about how reliable are sometimes the “Experts” and how risky or dangerous are for people who relies on this experts or surgeons in specific situations. Actually she is making a call to all of us, to start to be more independent and to listen to ourselves and not only to listen to “surgeons and CEOs”. Because these kind of people that are supposed to have more status, diplomas, certificates or whatever more than us, in many cases they fail or make mistakes. Although the rate of accuracy or certainty is higher than the mistake’s one, It does not mean that they are always reliable. I think that an expert it is an individual that has done outstanding works in whatsoever topic or themes that it relates to the subject of him/her. Also to be expert it must need a lot of years of experience, thus should be and adult or even an older people. With all these characteristics I would trust them but not in a 100%, because despite they are humans (humans make errors), with the accumulation of years, every person get some sort of error, only because of the fact that the person is much older, and his/her brain isn’t that accurate as years ago. So I truly believe that always there is an uncertainty when it comes the moment to believe in an expert, so I would never trust in a 100% in an expert or
Absolutist Rules Always Good or Sometimes Bad?
Absolutist rules - always good or sometimes bad? Absolute morality remains true in all situations. This is not always the right approach; however, sometimes such a resolute view is necessary. There are many occasions in which absolute rules are good. The fact that they are unchanging, no matter the circumstance, has many benefits. In some cases, people are unsure as to what is right, and so a constant rule would enabled them to make guided decisions. For example, if someone is murdered but had provoked their attacker, then some may argue that the murderer was not entirely at fault and that the punishment should be reduced, whereas others, such as absolutists, would state that murder is murder, and that no compassion should be shown. So, in cases of dispute, and absolute rule would prove valuable. Absolutism also applies to everyone, and provides people with a good basis on how to treat others. They therefore abolish prejudice and discrimination, which eliminates problems such as racism and promotes equality. This can only be a good thing. On the other hand, absolutist views can also cause many problems, and, ultimately, be wrong. In many circumstances, it is not always possible to do the right thing, and on occasions, people are forced to do bad things. For instance, if a woman was being raped and accidently killed her attacker out of self-defence, then she cannot be
Material Magic. Concrete.
Material Magic. Concrete. Concrete is a material that is all around us every day, used in many different ways for many different structures and buildings. It is for that reason I chose to use concrete to complete this study, as although I see it and use it probably everyday I don't fell I know a great deal about the material and would like to gain a better understanding of it and why it's so popular and widely used. CONCRETE is a mixture of cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, and water. The use of some form of cement to bind together stones, gravel and other material has been practised from very early times. The Romans used it at least 500 years before the time of Christ, and they were probably not the only ones or the earliest ones. One of the most early and notable examples of roman work in this material, which still remains today, is the Parthenon in Athens. The dome of which is cast in solid concrete. Illustrated below. Although concrete technology has advanced a little since those remote days, it is still used in modern building projects - from foundations for giant telescope mountings, to nuclear power stations, to sky-scrapers in Manhattan and Tokyo, to garage and patio floors, roads and railway sleepers, shore protectors against wave action, dam walls, and settings for the poles of washing lines and chicken runs. The fundamental chemistry is much the same
Explain the functions of N-glycans of the pituitary hormones LH and FSH.
Glycobiology tutorial II: oligosaccharide function Essay 1: Explain the functions of N-glycans of the pituitary hormones LH and FSH. Lutropin (LH) and follitropin (FSH) are glycoprotein hormones synthesized in the anterior pituitary. These gonadotropins regulate reproductive functions through their stimulation of steroidogenesis, in ovarian granulosa and theca cells in the case of LH and in the ovarian follicular cells in the case of FSH. The hormones are heterodimers composed of two non-covalently joined ? and ß subunits, both of which are glycosylated with N-linked oligosaccharides. These glycans play a significant role, as we shall see in this essay, seeing as they are involved in intracellular events and in the biological activity of these glycoprotein hormones. LH and FSH differ in their ß subunit but have a common ? subunit, a 92 amino acid long polypeptide with two N-linked oligosaccharides attached to Asn 52 and Asn 78. The ß components are hormone-specific and differ in their glycosylation state. The human LHß is glycosilated at Asn 30. FSHß, on the other hand, contains two N-linked sugars one at Asn 7 the other at Asn 34. Furthermore, the majority of LH N-linked oligosaccharides are sulfated, while human FSH contains less sulfate and its oligosaccharides are sialylated. Moreover, the latter are usually diantennary and tri-tri' and tetrantennary structures.
DISCUSS THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF SEXUAL AND ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
DISCUSS THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF SEXUAL AND ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION In order to avoid extinction species must reproduce and pass their genes on to the next generation, thus ensuring the survival of the population. For reproduction to occur cell division is necessary and this can be divided into two categories according to the behaviour of the chromosomes, they are known as mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is when the daughter cells finish up containing exactly the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell, typically two of each type, known as the diploid state. Mitosis takes place when an organism grows or reproduces asexually. Meiosis is when each daughter cell ends up with exactly half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, one of each type, which is known as the haploid state. Meiosis is associated with sexual reproduction and generally takes place in the formation of gametes or in some cases' spores. Asexual reproduction is the process of one individual organism producing one or more new individuals. It does not involve the combination of genetic material from two different individuals and therefore the new individuals are clones of the parent organism. Mutation is the only variation that occurs in asexual reproduction, unless mutation occurs all the members of clones share the same genetic constitution. Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of
Was nationalism the most important force of change in Europe up to 1870? Justify your answer.
Was nationalism the most important force of change in Europe up to 1870? Justify your answer. Europe in 19th century was in a mess. Revolutions, independence and unification movements, wars and mutual hostility filled with anywhere in Europe. To account for the forces in behind driving the changes, nationalism seemed the most important force in altering Europe up to 1870. Some may argue that other ideologies like liberalism were of greater importance. However, I believe it was nationalism, which brought a more far-reaching impact on various aspects in European affairs. Nationalism is defined as a sense of loyalty of the individuals to their states. It advocates people with same race, heritage and religion should join together to form nation states breaking away from foreign rule. The idea of nationalism brought changes to Europe and firstly, its spread provoked national campaigns which aimed at struggling for national unification or independence. Before nationalism was well known by the Europeans, they did not recognize their national identity and were under the rule of foreign power like the Austrians governed Italians. The idea of nationalism inspired people began to develop a sense of loyalty and strong passion to their unique races from Germans to Italians. Europeans who didn't have their own states started to revolt and try to escape from foreign rule. However, some
