- 661: Iron Increases Heart Disease
- ... the highest prevalence of any disease, women experience only 30-50% of the coronary artery disease incidence and mortality of age-matched men (Meyers, 1996). Many feel that this may be due to the protective effect that estrogen has on the blood vessels of females. There may actually be a direct correlation to reduced serum iron levels due to menses. Whereas men " build-up" iron in the blood, women cleanse themselves ... determine CAD risk". High iron may indirectly cause damage to coronary arteries due to increased oxidation. Hauenschild et al, (1997) report that the association between nutrition and coronary heart disease is mainly due to the effect of nutrients on serum lipoproteins, the form in which fats are transported in the blood (Miller and Keane, 1992). Cholesterol intake does not play a very important role for plasma cholesterol although there is a ... the above information, the research concludes that it is unlikely that high serum iron or transferrin is the direct cause of CAD. It may be likely though that having a high iron intake may indirectly effect the progression of heart disease by influencing oxidation of cholesterol and lipoproteins. No research concluded that the lower incidence of heart disease in women is based in-part by lower serum iron levels due ...

- 663: Leadership, Citizenship, Commu
- ... excellent way to present information in a way that is clear and precise. When giving a presentation or talk on drugs many leaders will use a variety of techniques to get the desired point or effect across.

- 664: Tintern Abbey Seeing Into The
- ... about his memories of the Wye, or about how these memories have lifted his spirits and shaped his life. Rather he is thinking about the human abilities that allow memory and reflection to have this effect. In doing this he grasps two important features of his own powers. First, he sees just how his power of reflection and memory can keep him from being dragged down into the pain and despair ... all in all. This does not mean that nature was all in all when he was young but that he experienced it as all in all. What he has come to realize is that the effect of nature upon him depends upon what he brings to nature. For he has seen that the pleasures he receives upon reflection on his experience at the banks of the Wye are different and possibly ... the time of the actual experience. Later in the poem, the author recognizes that half of the experience comes from his eye, while the other half comes from nature. That is, what has such an effect on him is not nature pure and simple but nature as filtered through his own language of the sense. From this green earth; of all the mighty world Of eye, and ear, --both what ...
- 665: The Cost of Sleep Deprivation
- ... known. Three common symptoms seen in studies of prolonged sleep deprivation are a deep negative energy balance, the suppression of the immune system, and an odd change in patterns of sleep. Perhaps the most obvious effect sleeplessness has on a person is the negative energy balance. This occurs because the thyroid hormone expends more energy than is actually being metabolized. Your body is using more energy, than would normally be restored ... However, it is likely that the majority of people will sleep in time for this not to be a problem. When a person is deprived of REM (rapid eye movements) sleep, there is an interesting effect on the subjects patterns of sleeping. In a number of laboratory studies, subjects were awakened over a period of nights whenever they began to go into the REM stage. These subjects usually got a decent ... deprived subjects start slipping into REM every time the researcher turns around. Furthermore, when the REM- deprivation experiment came to an end and the subjects were allowed to sleep without interruption, they experienced a rebound effect. That is, they spent extra time in REM periods for one to three nights to make up for their REM deprivation. While staying awake all night seems like an easy way to catch up ...
- 666: Epic Theatres
- ... action occurring on stage, Brecht believed that the audience must not allow itself to become emotionally involved in the story. Rather they should, through a series of anti-illusive devices, feel alienated from it. The effect of this deliberate exclusion makes it difficult for the audience to empathise with the characters and their predicament. Thus, they could study the play's social or political message and not the actual events being performed on stage. This process is called Verfremdungseffekt, or the alienation effect, where instead of identifying with the characters, the audience is reminded that they are watching only a portrayal of reality. Several well-known Brechtian plays include Drums in the Night, Edward 2, The Threepenny Opera ... could speak in mechanical and non-human voices and movements. By doing this the Ironshirts would be symbolic of their characters, rather than realistic, and so the audience would again feel alienated. Another popular Verfremdungseffekt effect is to flood the stage with a harsh, white light. This induces the audience to remember that again they are only watching a reenactment of reality. It would therefore be most profitable to utilize ...

- ... go to prison for as long as it takes to purify or make you sane enough to work for the party once again. The last way society is controlled is by Desensitization. Desensitization is an effect brought on to people by the party which causes the loss of senses to one s self. One such instance occurs in the novel when Winston is explaining a war film he had just seen ... on them and then there is a shot of a child s arm flying across the screen. When this happens the audience in the theater begins laughing and applauding. This in itself is showing the effect of desensitization on the people. An act of desensitization brought onto Winston is in a scene in the novel where a steamer, rocket bomb, shoots down from the sky and blows up all over a ... instinct kicks the hand into a gutter. This shows desensitization because in today s reality almost anyone that were to see a severed hand laying on the ground would be frightened but because of the effect the party has put on everybody Winston doesn t even think twice about moving it.

- 668: Charles Darwin (1809-1882)
- ... provides them with no ability to interpret such histories; 5. That the genetic variations ultimately producing increased survivability are random and not caused by God or by the organism's own striving for perfection. The effect of all these points was to move man away from the center of creation and imply that he could hardly be its crowning glory. 1. By emphasizing that species changed, evolutionary theories apparently destroyed ancient ... that the hands of the creator are not required, Creationism, seeing in the Bible a statement of literal truth about the process of creation, sees the hands of God as the only mechanism involved. The effect, however, is the same. God is removed from the province of intimate interaction with man. This has the result of making Him less immanent. It does not, however, compensate by making Him more transcendent. God ... some, Darwinism would come as a supreme liberation. Some, would see it as a tragedy, and criticize its defenders for not realizing that it did, in fact, displace God from the universe, leaving Him, in effect, dead. Darwin's On the Origin of Species, published in 1859, raised a number of serious questions for English views of humanly known knowable truth. The Origin severely threatened the tradition of natural theology, ...

- ... So he dispatched military units to Little Rock and secured compliance with bayonets. The sullen attitude of local whites discouraged Eisenhower from further efforts at integration either by coercion or any other method. The adverse effect of his indecisiveness on African Americans was compounded by the tactics of Republican senators, many of who voted with Southern Democrats to retain the rules permitting filibusters against civil rights legislation. Civil rights acts passed ... more rapid economic growth, rehabilitate depressed areas, improve urban housing and development, reform tax legislation, revise the farm program, conserve and develop natural resources, aid education, and provide better medical care for the aged. In effect, he was establishing his long-range goals. At the time he obtained little more from Congress than relatively short-range legislation to help pull the nation out of a mild recession in 1961. Kennedy's ... society, poverty above all. But Johnson's leadership was an important factor. From the first he employed all of his tested techniques for dealing with Congress, and he supplemented these with frequent speeches that, in effect, appealed over the heads of the congressmen to the people themselves. Since the spring of 1964, Johnson had talked of building a "Great Society," and he had organized a series of "task forces" to ...
- 670: Violent Crimes Involving Guns
- ... control would reduce crime. By taking a look at evidence gathered form domestic studies, international evidence, and crimes involving guns we can better understand this. Several sophisticated statistical models have attempted to measure the net effect of firearms on criminal violence. On balance, they show that there is nothing to be gained from reducing the general level of gun ownership.(3) A thorough review of 18 studies of the effects of gun availability among potential victims and criminals found that the overall effect on criminal violence was zero.(4) In one study, researchers found no significant differences in total robbery rates between cities where guns were widely available and cities where they were not; in cities with fewer ... Gun control laws might be accurately called victim disarmament laws."(?) Armed citizens pose a risk of punishment to criminals - perhaps more so than does the criminal justice system. Gun ownership may exert as much deterrent effect on violent crime and burglary as the criminal justice system does. The battle over gun control is not about controlling inanimate objects; it is about controlling people. To extend gun controls would make the ...
