The Resistance Against The Resistance Antibiotic resistance is when certain antibiotics lose their ability to render harmful pathogens inactive. When bacteria become resistant to antibiotics they will continue to grow and multiply without the antibiotics having any effect on them. Bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics are called superbugs because they are very hard to be destroyed within the body. Antibiotic resistance can be caused by many things. The most common way in which bacterium build
What is resistance? Resistance is the ability of a significant portion of a pest population to survive a pesticide at rates that once killed most individuals of that population. In other word, it is defined as `a heritable change in the sensitivity of a pest population to a pesticide that is resulting in the failure of a product or correct application of pesticide to achieve the expected level of control of insect. The use of insecticides does not create resistance but it can develop
Electrical Resistance Electrical resistance is a property of an electrical circuit that opposes the flow of current. Resistance involves collisions of the current-carrying charged particles with fixed particles that make up the structure of the conductor. Resistance is often considered as localized in such devices as lamps, heaters and resistors in which it predominates, although it is a characteristic of every part of a circuit, including connecting wires and electric transmission lines
The Resistance of a Wire Introduction: In this piece of coursework, I have been finding out factors that affect the resistance of a wire. Firstly, I will explain how resistance works. Resistance is when electrons in a wire collide with atoms also in the wire. When the electrons and the atoms collide the electrons start to move slower, which then causes resistance. So, resistance is how hard it is to move electrons through a wire. Now, I am going to tell you what are the factors of wire
farming of farm animals. It is a source of resistance because sub-therapeutic doses of antibiotics are used in animal-rearing for promoting growth or preventing diseases. Injecting antibiotics into farm animals
his ill-gotten gains. The Danish resisters took the offensive against German occupying forces. Through symbolic and cultural protests, they asserted their right to govern their own lives, and that strengthened public morale — which inspired bolder resistance. Through strikes, defiance at work sites, and damage to physical property, nonviolent resisters attacked the economic interests of the invaders. Through underground publishing, an alternate network of communication was established, to subvert the
GCSE Physics Coursework - Resistance of a Wire Coursework Resistance of a Wire Task To investigate how the resistance of a wire is affected by the length of the wire. Theory What is resistance? Electricity is conducted through a conductor, in this case wire, by means of free electrons. The number of free electrons depends on the material and more free electrons means a better conductor, i.e. it has less resistance. For example, gold has more free electrons than iron and, as a result
Resistance of a Wire Introduction Resistance is the opposition a material offers to the flow of electricity. The electrical resistance of an object is not only by what material it's made of, but also by its shape. A very thin copper wire has more resistance than a thick copper wire of the same length. A very long copper wire has more resistance than a short one of the same thickness. Resistance is measured in Ohms. Variables There were three variables that our group was able to choose
Jewish Resistance We must first realize that resistance was in no way a survival strategy. Yet, even when it seemed obvious that death was near inevitable, why did they not put up a fight? This argument is still puzzling to many holocaust historians, yet the arguments of Raul Hilberg and Yehuda Bauer offer insight to possible reasons why they did not fight and that resistance was more widespread than most people think. First of all we will look at Raul Hilberg’s “Two Thousand Years of Jewish Appeasement
term drug resistance. Since it is such a growing concern, it becomes confusing as to why drug resistance is occurring and what can be done to prevent it. Because drug resistance is such a health problem, determining what it is, how these bacteria can acquire the antimicrobial agents, and the possible solutions to the resistance are the types of actions that need to be taken in order to have a better understanding of how truly powerful these drug resistant bacteria are. Drug resistance is the capability
people to challenge those issues. In the article “The Three Ways Of Meeting Oppression” which was wrote by Martin Luther King has also revealed that nonviolent resistance is the best opinion for every crisis. As a result, many people prefer to choose nonviolence resistance to solve out these problems. People have been using nonviolence resistance in many pictures to solve social issues. In the history of Indian people lead by Mahatma used this system to gain independent from France successfully. As we
that peaceful resistance to laws positively impacts a free society as long as there’s reasonable justification for the peaceful resistance. Three possible reasons why there would be a need for peaceful resistance against laws would be if it interferes with the people’s first amendment, if its goal is to create social or lawful change, or if a large group of people do not agree with the lawmakers’ decision for not keeping the people and their rights in mind. First, peaceful resistance ensures the
trend of antibiotic resistant organisms. Antibiotic resistance has now become a universal problem which needs to be faced head on by healthcare workers. Healthcare workers play an important part in preventing antibiotic resistance which can be done through providing education on antibiotic usage and the prevention of antibiotic resistant organisms. In the article by Aziz (2013), several issues have been identified relating to antibiotic resistance, antibiotic structure and function and the properties
a direct result of selection pressure on bacteria to develop resistance.[25, 26] In addition, bacteria may obtain these genes through the process of conjugation where bacteria trade plasmids which contain resistant genes. Plasmids are an extra chromosome element of DNA which are found in the cytoplasm of a bacterium, as illustrated in Figure 2.[25] The process of conjugation is also referred to as horizontal gene transfer.[26] Resistance is affected by a variety of factors which are primarily due
when discussing the measures that needed to be enacted in order to bring change. However, determining which means are effective in bringing about change is crucial to the success of a movement. The evident reality is that peaceful acts of civil resistance have overall been much more successful than those that have been fueled by violence. A 2-year study conducted by political scientist, Erica Chenoweth, reveals just that. The study showed that: From 1900 to 2006, nonviolent campaigns worldwide
According to Tortora, Funke & Case nonspecific resistance refers to defenses against any pathogen, regardless of species; specific resistance refers to defenses against a specific pathogen. The skin and mucous membranes are the body's first line of protection against pathogens. Whereas mechanical factors include physical barriers to entry or processes that remove microbes from the body's surface, chemical factors include substances made by the body that inhibit microbial growth or destroy them
Electrical Resistance The electrical resistance of a material is its opposition to the flow of electric current (slowing the flow of electrons down). Resistance occurs when the electrons travelling along the wire collide with the atoms of the wire. These collisions slow down the flow of electrons causing resistance. Resistance is a measure of how hard it is to move the electrons through the wire. A current is the rate of the flow of charge (electrons) and the resistance controls the
Peaceful resistance leads to the evolution of laws and the continued improvement of congress and legislation in a free society. By participating in peaceful resistance, citizens are perfectly capable of making their opinions known and enforcing change in a stagnant era. The people of the country cannot be ignored when being part of protests that lead to actions by the president, the prime minister, or any influencing officer to reach a compromise or simply listen to their requests. Without peaceful
The Necessity to Prevent Antibiotic Resistance Approximately one year ago in Kentucky, a man went to sleep thinking he might have caught a flu. The next day, he is rushed to the local hospital while coughing up chunks of lung tissue; within a few hours he experiences organ failure and lips into a coma. Over the next two days, two other patients come in with the same symptoms and die almost immediately. This epidemic that swept over this small area in Kentucky was an ultra resistant strain of staph
Violent resistance is resistance that does not revolve around events such as sit-ins and petitions. Violent resistance is most effective because, unlike the method of non-violence, it gathers a more drastic and immediate response from other involved parties. I have seen how effective violent resistance is through our lessons by observing how the majority of my classmates have continuously sided with violent resistance. Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael both understood the need to use violent resistance;
