Increased Body Temperature01:25

Increased Body Temperature

6.5K
A body temperature above  38°C  (100.4 °F) is known as fever or pyrexia, and a person with fever is termed 'febrile.' Typically, the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that acts as the body's thermostat, regulates body temperature through a thermoregulatory setpoint. It receives signals from cold and warm thermal receptors throughout the body and adjusts the body's temperature accordingly. Fever occurs when this hypothalamic setpoint is altered, usually in...

Increased pulse rate01:17

Increased pulse rate

1.1K
Tachycardia is a condition marked by an abnormally fast or irregular heart rate, surpassing the typical resting rate. In adults, tachycardia is characterized by a pulse rate ranging from 100 to 180 beats per minute. The increased heart rate can result in inadequate blood flow to various body parts, ultimately diminishing the oxygen supply to organs and tissues.
Many factors can elevate the risk of developing tachycardia. These include advanced age, a family history of arrhythmias, and an...

Robbers Cave04:49

Robbers Cave

14.8K
During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Kinetic Molecular Theory and Gas Laws Explain Properties of Gas Molecules02:34

Kinetic Molecular Theory and Gas Laws Explain Properties of Gas Molecules

37.3K
The test of the kinetic molecular theory (KMT) and its postulates is its ability to explain and describe the behavior of a gas. The various gas laws (Boyle’s, Charles’s, Gay-Lussac’s, Avogadro’s, and Dalton’s laws) can be derived from the assumptions of the KMT, which have led chemists to believe that the assumptions of the theory accurately represent the properties of gas molecules.

Properties of Transition Metals02:58

Properties of Transition Metals

29.7K
Transition metals are defined as those elements that have partially filled d orbitals. As shown in Figure 1, the d-block elements in groups 3–12 are transition elements. The f-block elements, also called inner transition metals (the lanthanides and actinides), also meet this criterion because the d orbital is partially occupied before the f orbitals.

Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

28.8K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

War exposure significantly increases religious participation in post-conflict societies. Individuals with greater war experience showed higher engagement in religious groups and rituals, even years later.

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Sociology
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Societies often leverage religious beliefs for social cohesion and cooperation.
  • The impact of violent conflict on individual religiosity remains under-explored.
  • This study investigates the link between war experience and religious participation.

Discussion:

  • Analyzes survey data from 1,709 individuals in Uganda, Sierra Leone, and Tajikistan.
  • Utilizes a natural experiment approach, examining quasi-random exposure to varying conflict intensities.
  • Focuses on post-conflict settings to assess long-term effects on religious engagement.

Key Insights:

  • Greater exposure to war correlates with increased participation in Christian and Muslim religious groups and rituals.
  • This effect persists several years after the cessation of conflict.
  • Findings remain robust across various statistical controls and community comparisons.

Outlook:

  • War experience may serve as a catalyst for heightened religious adherence.
  • Understanding this relationship is crucial for post-conflict reconciliation and social rebuilding.
  • Further research could explore the mechanisms driving this post-conflict religiosity.
