Classification of Illness01:17

Classification of Illness

7.6K
The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe...

Homeostatic Imbalance01:10

Homeostatic Imbalance

23.2K
Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment within the body, which is crucial for the proper functioning of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems. The body has various control mechanisms that work together to regulate various physiological parameters such as temperature, blood pressure, pH balance, and fluid balance, to name a few. These control mechanisms are based on feedback loops that can be either positive or negative.
However, sometimes these feedback loops fail,...

What is Homeostasis?01:16

What is Homeostasis?

37.9K
Maintaining homeostasis requires that the body continuously maintain its internal conditions. Each physiological condition has a particular set point, from body temperature to blood pressure to levels of certain nutrients. A set point is the physiological value around which the normal range fluctuates. A normal range is a restricted set of values that is optimally healthful and stable. For example, the set point for normal human body temperature is approximately 37°C (98.6°F).

Amnesia01:13

Amnesia

153
Amnesia is a condition marked by long-term memory loss, which impairs the ability to recall past events or create new memories.
The severity and duration of memory loss vary depending on the type and underlying cause. Amnesia is classified into two main types: retrograde and anterograde.
Retrograde amnesia is marked by the loss of memories formed before the onset of the condition. Patients may recall distant past events but often forget those occurring shortly before the incident.
Anterograde...

Leaving Groups02:14

Leaving Groups

7.8K
The nature of leaving groups strongly influences the outcome of a nucleophilic substitution reaction.
In general, in a nucleophilic substitution reaction, a nucleophile displaces a functional group, called the leaving group, from the substrate to give a substituted product. A leaving group departs the substrate molecule through heterolytic cleavage, taking the pair of electrons with it to become a relatively stable weak base in the form of an anion or a neutral molecule.  
In a...

Area of Science:

  • Sociology
  • Psychology
  • Cultural Studies

Background:

  • International education experiences can significantly impact personal identity development.
  • The transition to a new cultural environment often presents unique challenges and opportunities for self-discovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the complex interplay between studying abroad and personal identity formation.
  • To understand the sacrifices individuals may make in pursuit of self-acceptance.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative case study approach.
  • In-depth interviews with a Panamanian student detailing their study abroad journey.
  • Thematic analysis of personal narratives and reflections.

Main Results:

  • The study abroad experience facilitated a profound shift in the student's self-perception and acceptance.
  • A significant personal dream had to be abandoned as a consequence of embracing their authentic self.

Conclusions:

  • Self-acceptance achieved through international experiences can involve difficult trade-offs.
  • The journey of identity exploration abroad may necessitate the reevaluation and letting go of prior aspirations.
