- 181: Endotracheal Suctioning
- ... their care. The use of normal saline prior to endotracheal suctioning has been reviewed in numerous ways, most all of which have shown the overwhelmingly adverse effects related to such practice. Review of Literature The effect of NSI prior to suctioning and its effects on oxygenation has been researched in several studies. Ackerman (1993) studied the effects of NSI on SpO2 values in a varied sample of critically ill patients. Patients ... SpO2 values were somewhat decreased immediately after suctioning and continued to decrease over time. The lowest SpO2 measurements were recorded five minutes after suctioning. These results further strengthen the argument that NSI has a detrimental effect on oxygenation. Ackerman and Mick (1998) investigated the effects of NSI before suctioning on SpO2, heart rate, and blood pressure. As part of the study protocol, no hyperinflation or preoxygenation breaths were given to the ... suctioning. Oxygen saturation for the group that had NSI began to increase at four minutes after suctioning and had not returned to baseline ten minutes after suctioning. Their results indicated that NSI had an adverse effect on SpO2 which worsened over time. Differences in heart rate and blood pressure were not significant. Gray, MacIntyre, and Kronenberger (1990) researched the physiological effects of endotracheal suctioning with and without NSI. Each subject ...
- 182: The War Of 1812 And Its Effect
- By any criteria the years following the War of 1812, otherwise known as the Era of Good Feelings, must be considered a time of exceptional growth and development in the United States, but above all, it may be ...
- 183: Impact of Television Violence In Relation To Juvenile Delinquency
- ... it is because of how their parents showed them. When children are taught how to do math problems it is because how their teachers show them. With all of the role models how does television effect our children? Many adults feel that because they watched television when they were young and they have not been negatively affected then their children should not be affected as well. What we must first realize ... whenever a major soap opera personality committed suicide on television, within three days there was a significant increase in the number of female suicides across the nation. The major experimental studies of the cause and effect relation between television violence and aggressive behavior were completed by Bandura and his colleagues (Bandura, Ross & Ross,1961:575-582, 1963:3-1) working with young children, and by Berkowitz and his associates (Berkowitz, 1962 ... violence and aggression are positive. Television violence is strongly correlated with aggressive behavior as any other behavioral variable that has been measured. The research question has moved from asking whether or not there is an effect, to seeking explanations for the effect. While the effects of television violence are not simply straightforward, analyses and reviews of research suggest that there are clear reasons for concern and caution in relation to ...
- 184: The Potential Effects of a Depleted Ozone Layer
- ... affected by a depleted ozone layer and thus by the corresponding increase in harmful ultraviolet radiation are agriculture, wildlife, the environment, and human health. A depleted ozone layer has a profoundly negative and potentially devastating effect on humanity and its surroundings. From an agricultural perspective, a diminished ozone layer poses great risks. Since man's evolution from 'man the hunter and gatherer' to 'man the food producer' , mankind has grown ever ... atmosphere and once that is gone who knows " ( Cox, 1994, p.546 ). Agriculturally, a depletion in the ozone layer could lead to economic and societal ruin for many. In addition to having a profound potential effect on agriculture, a depleted ozone layer affects wildlife in the same indiscriminate manner. Since ozone depletion leads to increases in harmful UV light, it comes as no surprise that this 'bad' light would affect the ... ozone umbrella could also have a tremendous impact on wildlife. Moreover, in support of devastating impact on the crops and animals, a diminished ozone layer has been associated with environmental damage and concern. The potential effect on the earth's climate systems and weather is another negative aspect joined at the hip with a weakened ozone shield. The ozone layer is located in the stratosphere " 15 - 50 km above the ...
- 185: Descartes 2
- ... than those ideas by which finite substances are represented. Now it is manifest by the natural light that there must be at least as much reality in the efficient and total cause as in its effect; for whence can the effect draw its reality if not from its cause? And how could the cause communicate to it this reality unless it possessed it in itself?" Whence do these principles draw their indubitability? Even if we grant that it is contrary to natural reason that an effect can have greater 'reality' than its cause, that the concepts of modes and substances are coherent with Descartes' method, let alone possess the properties that he ascribes to them, then surely we can still ...
- 186: Sixteen Most Significant Events in US History between 1789 to 1975
- ... so vast that an entire Reconstruction period in American history was devoted to the political and economic rebuilding of the South. Finally, the scars of hatred between the North and South would have a ting effect. Southerners grew bitter in defeat, while Northerners continued their hostility toward the South. In a comparison of these two events, the Civil War clearly had a greater influence on the time period. This conclusion is ... life, liberty, or property without due process of law. The Fifteenth Amendment forbade states to deny the right to vote on account of race. Although these amendments were momentous events in guaranteeing civil rights, their effect during this time period in history would be short lived. Blacks would only enjoy equality for a few years until a series of Supreme Court decisions interpreting the amendments would weaken them to the point ... the country turned inward, refusing to participate in the League of Nations. This left postwar affairs in Europe unsettled and would ultimately lead the country into another World War. While the depression had an enormous effect on the attitudes of Americans, World War I had an even greater impact. The entire American culture would experience a revolution in the postwar celebration. Americans were filled with optimism during the postwar years. ...

- 188: The Problem of Global Warming
- ... global warming, an increase in the average temperature on Earth, is getting worse. The Earth has warmed 0.3 to 0.6 degrees Celsius since the late 1800s. Scientists believe that the cause is the greenhouse effect, the process of trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere because of the presence of large amounts of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, methane, and nitrogen oxides. Less oxygen is being produced and cleaning the atmosphere allowing ... a lot of precipitation in the air and thus gives extreme winters and storms. The worst is yet to come in this problem of global warming. If the carbon gases are not somehow stopped the greenhouse effect will get worse and global warming will increase. The scary thing about this all is that we are not yet trying to stop them.
- 189: Environmental Issues Associated With Vehicle Use
- ... a brief account of the environmental problems associated with increasing use of the motor car. The increasing use of the motor car has lead to many environmental problems and some of these have a profound effect on the world we live in. Many of the greenhouse gases are released during fossil fuel combustion and from other car exhaust pollutants. The greenhouse effect is thought by many people to be one of the most serious environmental threats to our present way of life on earth. The incomplete combustion of fossil fuels in motor cars also leads ...
- 190: The Case For The Existence of God
- ... a profitable and edifying study. NATURE'S HOME: THE UNIVERSE When the writer of Hebrews stated that, "...every house is builded by someone..." (Hebrews 3:4), he suggested the well-known principle of cause and effect. Today the Law of Causality is the fundamental law of science. Every effect must have an adequate cause. Further indicated is the fact that no effect can be qualitatively superior to or quantitatively greater than the cause. The universe is here, and is a tremendous effect. Hence, it must be explained in terms of an adequate cause. There are four ...
