Abstract This paper examines Sima Qian's historical accounts of the biographies of Lin Bo and Lin Xiang-ru, referring to biographical information to impart allegorical and moral understanding. The paper describes the story and how a strongly Chinese theme is present of, amid chaos, the ruler or reputable man responding in good faith and in principle.
From the Paper "Biographies of Lian Bo and Lin Xiang-ru", Historical Records (Shi-ji) - and Confucian Ideals of Conduct and Exchange. The source to which this paper refers exemplifies the use made of biographical histories in presenting allegorical and moral examples. Sima Qian opens by explaining that Lian Bo was the ruler of Zhao's finest general, and his quandary when the ruler of Qin wrote to say that he had heard of Zhao's jade disk of Bian He of Chu, a bi thought to be very powerful or otherwise auspicious. In 283 BC, the Qin rule very much wanted it and offered an exchange of fifteen walled cities."
Abstract This paper presents the case of M.D., a 66-year-old female who was admitted to Fremont Memorial Hospital on September 4, 2007 with bowel obstruction (BO). The paper explains the pathophysiology related to bowel obstruction and then discusses diagnostic studies and medications. The paper also examines the nursing care that was provided to the patient.
From the Paper "Labs on September 4, September 9, and September 10 included: complete blood cell count (CBC), and electrolyte panel. M.D.'s vomiting contributed to her body's compensatory reaction of low and high electrolyte values. Additionally, her chemotherapy affected her white blood cell (WBC) and red blood cell (RBC) count. Each was low relative to received chemotherapy. Consequently the following Hematopoietic disorders have developed: Anemia from decreased production of the protein erythropoietin (EPO), Leucopenia, Thrombocytopenia, and Neutropenia all are side effects from damage to the spongy bone marrow tissue due to chemotherapy."
Abstract This paper examines early Irish art and literature in an effort to gain insight into early Irish heritage and culture. The paper discusses Le Tene art, Celtic art, the emergence of craft centers or workshops, influences on Le Tene art and Le Tene art's influence on other cultures as well as early Christian artifacts, the importance and significance of the Ulster cycle in Irish literature, and how the story "The Tain Bo Cuailgne" represents the rough, common life of the early Irish.
From the Paper "When attempting to explore early Irish cultures, we can discover much when we observe art and literature in conjunction with historical information. Historical facts only present a portion of the picture, while artifacts and literature fill in the gaps. Art from the Le Tene culture offers incredible insight into early Irish heritage because literacy was not widespread. Symbols and images depicted on pieces discovered at this time represent rituals and beliefs. While most of the population could not write, the literature from the Ulster era helps support what we can learn from artifacts. In addition, when we combine what we see and read from the arts of early Irish cultures, we discover a remarkable connection to historical accounts of these people."
Abstract Rape has a number of definitions and traditionally rape is defined as the forced, non consensual, penetrative vaginal sex. This paper aims to discuss the causation behind this cruel and obscene violation to a person's self, using the most popular theory of rape; the social learning theory. It begins with a generalisation of the theory with reference to Bandura, of which the theory is based upon followed by an explanation of how this theory relates to and provides a cause for the unlawful act.
The main theme throughout is pornography and how this may or may not have a direct effect upon people, particularly men who rape. It also discusses the impact of culture, society, aggression theories and feminism.
From the Paper "The social learning theory is a general theory of human behaviour, a variant of Behaviourism which looks at the way in which certain behaviour is acquired. Social learning theory, however, pays greater attention to the concept of human development and moreover recognises substantially the role of social reinforcements in explaining how these behaviours are learned. The basic proposition is that the same learning process in a context of social structure, situation and interaction, generates both conforming and deviant behaviour."
