- 231: Effects Of Massage Theropy On The Central Nervous System
- ... cleared up upon treatment of this connective tissue (Chaitow 1983). If this research is valid, then it stands to reason that massage (soft tissue manipulation) through improving circulation, nervous stimulation etc can have a marked effect on the body. Therefore assertions that massage can induce relaxation and stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system seem quite plausible. AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM (ANS): The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a system of nerves and ... epinephrine (nor-adrenalin) in addition to acetyl choline as a neurotransmitter. EFFECTS OF MASSAGE ON AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM (ANS): To demonstrate the difficulty in getting an absolute answer on the actual rather than the deduced effect massage has on the ANS, quotes are provided from relatively up-to-date texts which attempt to objectively report the effects of massage. "it is obvious that massage stimulates the sensory and proprioceptive nerve fibres ... any zones supplied from the same segment of the spinal chord. ... Such reactions are called reflex effects" (Tappan, 1988). Massage bombards the skin and subcutaneous tissues with stimuli, and this not only produces a local effect but may exert either a stimulating or soothing effect on the body as a whole - depending on the type of massage technique used (Tritton, 1993). Swedish massage, particularly effleurage and other slow stroking movements ...
- 232: Sponsors and Sports
- ... because many players cannot make a huge impact on the outcome of the games. Also many young athletes are not known because collegiate baseball is not watched as much as other collegiate sports. A positive effect that sponsors have on Major League Baseball is that they are trying to help restore baseball as the national pastime. Baseball needs to regain interest with the public and sponsors are coming up with new ... being spent by various companies is being redistributed so that the lesser markets can receive some money. Basically anything that can attract people to the sport is good for baseball at this moment. A negative effect that sponsors have on baseball is not really much of a negative. Companies are not sponsoring baseball enough. The strikes and disputes are the reason why. But sponsors should be more of a part of ... trickled down to the collegiate level, where companies pay schools to wear their sneakers, and even the high school level where basketball camps held yearly bring in the newest and best talent available. A positive effect that sponsors have on the NBA is that basketball is increasing worldwide. People like and watch the game and the players. The majority of the public know Michael Jordan and Nike is a main ...
- 233: Biological Effects Of Radiation
- ... biological effects. Radiation causes ionizations of atoms, which will affect molecules, which may affect cells, which may affect tissues, and so on. Although most people tend to think of biological effects in terms of the effect of radiation on living cells, in actuality, ionizing radiation, by definition, interacts only with atoms by a process called ionization (Chandra p. 205). Thus, all biological damage effects begin with the consequence of radiation interactions ... commonly called direct and indirect effects. If radiation interacts with the atoms of the DNA molecule, or some other cellular component critical to the survival of the cell, it is referred to as a direct effect. Such interaction may affect the ability of the cell to reproduce and, thus, survive. If enough atoms are affected in such a way that the chromosomes do not replicate properly, or there is a significant ... the individual exposed. Since cancer is the primary result, somatic effects are sometimes known as Carcinogenic effects. In-utero effects are sometimes mistaken to be a genetic consequence of radiation exposure. This happens because the effect is suffered by a developing fetus and the effect is seen after birth. This is, in fact, a special case of the somatic effect, since the fetus is the one exposed to the radiation. ...
- 234: Kazimir Malevich
- ... on the white represents composition at its most economical. The construction itself is elementary. Yet it does provide a focused, perception of space. The sharp counterpoint of a black surface on white to produce the effect of spatial infinity opening into unfathomable darkness is, of course, radically different from the normal method of representing space pictorially, as in an interior or a landscape for instance, by varying the dimensions of objects ... or using light and color to indicate depth. In his uncompromisingly flat solution Malevich makes no use whatsoever of representational aids to convey space. Yet this experimental canvas is very deliberately 'a-perspective'. The visual effect of distance between the two surfaces in the same plane is achieved by means of the difference introduced by the black and white, light and color tonal treatment. The black square stands out sharply against its evenly light-toned background, which is perceived by the spectator as infinite space devoid of any point of reference. In Malevich's picture this effect acquires a sort of doubly extra spatial significance. The black square's surface exists as discrete space on a the white, except that it appears to be infinitely remote because the eye registers only ...
- 235: Homeric Simile In Paradise Lost
- ... was traditionally a diversion, a little world unto itself, which did not necessitate a change in the quality of the verse. The language within a long simile was able to remain unfigurative; in fact, the effect of closely-wrought metaphor could possibly be confusing in such a context. Milton decided to abandon the radically figurative style of his early poems -- notably, Lycidas and certain passages of Comus -- which critics like to ... lightning, sun spots, shooting stars, rainbows, mists (MacCaffrey, 121). In Paradise Lost, Milton shows his supreme inventiveness by employing devices of emphasis that will serve to make his reader aware of recurrences. To understate the effect of time, he must employ, nevertheless, the techniques of a temporal art; it is only an illusion of timelessness that is achieved, for time is continually passing, even as we read Paradise Lost. But early ... simile almost always moves forward in time or moves in space to another part of the world. Still another characteristic of the Miltonic simile is that, unlike Homer, Milton deliberately uses contrasts and contradictions for effect. Milton wants to make it clear that his subject matter encompasses all time and space. But he also wishes to contrast the order of heaven with the physical and moral confusion of hell. He ...
- 236: Angina Pectoris
- ... stick together and to the wall of the artery, while substances released by the platelets as they stick together further constrict the blood vessels. If the artery is already narrowed, this can have a devastating effect as it drastically reduces the blood flow. (Fig. 3 - Spasm in a coronary artery) When people are very tense, they usually overbreathe or hold their breath altogether. Shallow, irregular but rapid breathing washes out carbon ... smoke contains carbon monoxide, radioactive polonium, nicotine, arsenious oxide, benzopyrene, and levels of radon and molybdenum that are TWENTY times the allowable limit for ambient factory air. The two agents that have the most significant effect on the cardiovascular system are carbon monoxide and nicotine. Nicotine has no direct effect on the heart or the blood vessels, but it stimulates the nerves on these structures to cause the secretion of adrenaline. The increase of adrenaline and noradrenaline increases blood pressure and heart rate by ...
- 237: Child Abuse
- ... were classified under psychiatric symptoms. Another trait that these children shared was their unusual ability to adapt to a variety of people and settings. It was concluded that this ability was their survival skill. Another effect of abuse on children is their fear of failure. Abused children are particularly fearful of failure. It may be due to the children perceiving abuse as a deserved retribution for their failure. Abuse children also ... burns on the abdomen and genitals are more likely to be intentional. The long term effects of abuse on children are carried into their adulthood, into a more complex and heterogeneous forms. One long-term effect is the inability to enjoy life. Without the capacity to enjoy life, these children suffer from depression and guilt in their adulthood. For example, children who were sexually abused as children were unable to enjoy a fulfilling sexual life, even with their married partners. Another effect is poor social development. Abused children show a great impairment in social development. They are unable to form peer relationships, with difficulty in expressing themselves. Social skills, for example sharing, which is part and ...
- 238: A Healthy Personality
- ... are: the physical self, the social self, and the personal self. The physical self is the bodies we walk around in and the unique features each of them possess. Our physical appearance has an enormous effect on a healthy personality. Some people tower over others and some, like me, wish they had a few more inches. Some people are physically more beautiful than other people, and in turn get more attention ... healthy personality. For example if a young girl really wants to be a model, but is not cut out to be one, the realization that she will not be a model will have a profound effect on her personality. Perhaps she will take on negative attitudes about her body and appearance. Maybe those attitudes will develop into false beliefs that people, including her, are somehow not as valuable unless they are ... that she is better than everyone else and the most beautiful person on earth. How we deal with the fact that we are constantly being judged and evaluated on our physical appearance has a profound effect on personality. The social self is the many different masks and roles we play in social and home settings. You might play the role of a sophisticated gentleman at a fancy Christmas party, or ...
- 239: Accounting Ethics
- Accounting Ethics When examining the effect of open marketing on the profession of accounting it is important to view it from three perspectives: the client's, the profession's, and society's. Additionally, two key areas that are affected by marketing ... several points are discussed. First, the implications advertising has on public accounting-- the model of perfect competition versus the model of monopolistic compet ition. Secondly, the relationship between firm size and advertising expenditures. Thirdly, the effect of advertising on firm specialization, the implications of client turnover on public accounting practice. Before making the comparison, a brief explanation why the two models are chosen is in order. Monopolistic competition has been chosen ... supply. (Thompson p.277) When market demand for accounting services increases the resulting demand shifts right causing pri ces to increase returning the market back to equilibrium. However when supply increases, such is the theoretical effect of adding advertisement to public accounting practice, the supply curve shifts right causing prices to fall. The model of monopolistic competition is also price sensitive, however only at the firm level. For example, the ...
- 240: NAFTA: Canada's & Mexico's Viewpoints
- NAFTA: Canada's & Mexico's Viewpoints When the Canada/U.S. free trade agreement came into effect, the Mexican's were very impressed by the provision and opportunities that opened for both sides. Mexico then approached the U.S., seeking to form a similar agreement with them. This brought forth a new ... will also enhance the competitiveness of our goods. *** Disadvantages to Canada: The implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement may have many negative connotations towards social and environmental issues involving the trading nations. "One effect from the enactment of NAFTA is the loss of manufacturing jobs which would occur from the shift of multinational corporations to Mexico." This will cause many corporations to move their plants over the border. By ... are already enjoying. The fourth element, and arguably the most important one, is the ability to have a wide choice of technologies. It is for this element that the lessons learned from Japan come into effect. People often believe that the reason for Japans great competitiveness is the quality of Japan's work force, and the attitude of Japanese management. Although this is all true, what is often overlooked is ...
