Compose a 2000 words assignment on crime and technology: (criminology degree level): is regulation by technology now more influential than regulation by the law. Needs to be plagiarism free! This is linked to the exponential expanding e-commerce and the increase in the number of people using internet across the world. “The number of organized crimes and other individual crimes are mainly widening the exploitation of the exploitation of the technological vulnerable individuals who depends on the online for the storage of important financial, intellectual property and other valuable information” (Grabosky et al, 2001 p.37). In the view of the above, criminology has to respond very fast with respect to the investigation and prosecution of the perpetrators of crimes. One of the most important part of criminology is the investigation of the crimes. A criminal investigation can be defined as the official and deliberate effort to reveal information about a crime (Wall, 200, p. 3). This is therefore a process that has the objectives of revealing who committed a crime and why the person committed the crime. This is important since it enables the crime detectors in prosecution and hence discourages crimes within our society. Investigation and management of crimes in general has however taken a shift from the traditional laws that discourage crimes to the use of technology to investigate, detect and prosecute crimes or prevent the occurrences of crimes. The use of technology in crime prevention is becoming popular than the use of stringent laws that prevent crimes because of the dynamicity and the complexity of the crimes generate by the new technology. In this context, some crimes go undetected and hence the perpetrators are not prosecuted yet the crimes often result into serious losses of property. The new technology has also moved faster than the law makers and hence certain crimes are not defined by the law and hence it is difficult to prevent such crimes by enforcing the existing laws and hence the technology has to be used to prevent such crimes. Criminal justice technological change just like in other areas of public interest and other private endeavors has been given priority in most governments (Caputo, 2007, p.37). The system of work by the different police agencies, community groups, other correlation institutions, court systems as well as all the institutions that collectively form and either directly or indirectly are involved in crime and justice are currently intertwined in a framework of technological change. The revolution rate in this field is moving at a faster rate such that a breakthrough technology of yesterday for example is looked as a common place today. For example, there are currently bullet proof jackets for the police officers, Routine monitoring through electronic means as probation condition, the incidences of crime can easily be monitored by the communities with sophisticated computers and effective methods that are used to administer health care to prisoners. Understanding the development of criminal justice technology is very important in our understanding of the current “challenges that are faced by the police and other law enforcement agencies” (Bradley, 2004, p.38). The history of its implementation is also important in understanding the problem of fragmentation during the past era.

Write 1 page with APA style on Cardiac Involvement in melanoma. Malignant Melanoma Malignant Melanoma is the malignant tumor that occurs in melanocytes, the pigment producing cells, which are found predominantly in skin as well as in eyes, ears, bowels. When these melanocytes are damaged in one way or other, the cells display an uncontrolled proliferation, changing the shape and color of the existing moles. When the moles or the lesions begin to itch and ulcerate, it can be termed as Melanoma. Melanoma will become life-threatening, when the outer skin lesions starts to grow deeper into the skin and beyond, reaching the blood as well as the lymphatic vessels, thereby affecting the whole body. As it mainly affects the skin, it causes majority of skin cancer related deaths worldwide. At present, it is the sixth most common cancer in the United States, with the current lifetime risk for developing invasive melanoma is 1 case per 60 Americans, a 2000% increase since 1930. (Swetter, 2010). Cause of the disorder Melanoma is caused when the melanocytes are constantly exposed to sunlight, paving the way for Ultra-violet photons to strike the chromophore, a part of melanocyte. So, exposure to UV radiation clearly plays a role in melanoma. As people with history of sunburns, especially blistering sunburns during childhood or in teenage, are likely to show an augmented risk of developing melanoma. (aad.org). Another widely accepted caustic factor is genetics, with familial melanoma occurring mainly due to the chromosomes 1p, 9p and 12q. Having two or more close relatives who have had this disease is a risk factor. (medicinenet.com). Symptoms The symptoms of Melanoma, as mentioned above, are any changes in the shape and color of the existing moles and also any new lump or lesions on the skin. The early symptoms of melanoma can be summarized by the mnemonic, “ABCD”. ‘A’ stands for Asymmetry and it means one half difference between the abnormal area and the other half. When the mole or lesion or growth has irregular edges, it constitutes Border. Another important symptom is, there will be color changes from one area to another, with shades of tan, brown, or black. (nlm.nih.gov). Finally, D stands for Diameter, with the affected area usually (but not always) larger than 6 mm in diameter. (nlm.nih.gov) Diagnosis Diagnosis will be mainly done by the dermatologist, starting with visual examination. If this visual examination raises doubts, the dermatologist will go for biopsy. This is the only way to know with certainty if the lesion is melanoma or another type of skin cancer. (aad.org). During biopsy, the entire or a portion of the lesion is removed, and then it is examined under a microscope. If the melanoma cells are seen through the microscope, then the diagnosis is melanoma. In certain cases, Sentinel Lymph Node (SLN) biopsy will also be performed to find whether melanoma has affected the Lymphatic vessels, and has chances of spreading. (aad.org). Treatment There are number of treatment options available to treat melanoma, including surgery, chemotherapy, biological and radiation therapy. Surgery is the common form of treatment, with the melanoma cells as well as some normal tissues that surrounds the affected area are removed surgically. If it spreads to the nearby lymph nodes as well, then these nodes may also be removed. (nlm.nih.gov). After the surgery or as part of chemotherapy, cycles of drugs are given. Only if melanoma spreads beyond skin and lymph nodes, the treatment will become more difficult leading to fatalities. Another treatment options are also practiced like Biological therapy, in which substances called cytokines are given to boost the immune system to fight the cancer cells and radiation therapy, in which high-energy rays are used to kill the cancer cells. Cardiac Involvement in Melanoma It is reported that 64% of the metastatic melanoma cases display cardiac metastases (Glancy, 1968). Although cardiac metastases are infrequent, but they are reported in cases of malignant melanoma. Advances in medical research illustrates that metastatic tumors in pericardium are further widespread than primary tumors. The occurrence has enhanced in the last decades due to extended endurance of patients with cancer and the increased incidence of the disease in general population. Studies suggest cardiac involvement namely pericarditis, pericardial effusion, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, embolic events and the rare syncope are associated with the cardiac metastasis (Chrissos, 2008). Advances in technology paves the way for its early diagnosis, these encompass echocardiography, transesophageal approach, CT scan or MRI imaging techniques aid in the early detection of cardiac metastases (Chrissos, 2008). In one of the cases reported, an individual was operated for malignant skin melanoma, four years later he was diagnosed for cardiac involvement by means of echocardiography. The case was in advanced stage, so chemotherapy could not work for him and he died in 4 months. The incidence suggests that it is essential to suspect a patient for cardiac involvement when he is reported for malignant skin melanoma. Early diagnosis is of much significance so as to procure benefit from recent advances in cancer therapy (Chrissos, 2008). Echocardiography aids in identifying multiple metastases in the heart concerning the pericardium, the myocardium and the atrium, tumor in the above mentioned case was movable generating tricuspid valve stenosis (Chrissos, 2008). It is difficult to diagnose cardiac melanoma, but early detection has imperative therapeutic and prognostic insinuation. By means of Echocardiography, diagnosis could be made at an early stage to carry out timely treatment care and prevention. References aad.org. Malignant Melanoma. American Academy of Dermatology.

Provide a 2 pages analysis while answering the following question: Compare and contrast a well lighted room and A & P. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. [Teacher 25 March Two Workplace Tales The short stories “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place” by Earnest Hemingway and “A & P” by John Updike are similar stories that are told in different ways. Both stories are about men in the service industry in their place of work. Both tell the stories of customers, and how the customers’ experience affects the narrators. However, each story has its own distinct style. In “A & P,” the narrator, a nineteen-year-old cashier at the A&P store, watches three young girls in bathing suits walk through the store. When his boss embarrasses the girls by telling them they can’t come in to the store dressed that way, the narrator quits his job in protest, even though the girls don’t see or hear what he has done. In “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place,” two waiters are closing up a restaurant and talking about the old man who is their last customer. The young waiter is unkind to the old man, but the older waiter thinks he understands how the old man feels. After the young waiter gets the old man to leave, the older waiter thinks about a prayer where all of the important words are replaced by “nada,” Spanish for “nothing,” then goes to a bar. The two stories have two very different narration styles. In “A & P,” the narration is first-person, and is from the point of view of the nineteen-year-old clerk. It is in the language and tone that he thinks in, and it is clear and tells a distinct story. The audience sees his view of the customers, for example when he makes a mistake at the register: “She’s one of these cash-register-watchers, a witch about fifty with rouge on her cheekbones and no eyebrows, and I know it made her day to trip me up” (Updike). The story is as the narrator imagines it, which the reader can imagine might not be the way things really happened. In “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place,” the narration is third-person limited, and follows the point of view and thoughts of the older waiter. It does not tell a very clear story, and it takes a few readings before it is easy to understand what is going on in the story. The lack of dialog tags makes it difficult to tell who is talking. This story is also the way that the character imagines it, although it seems like a more reliable account because it is in third person. The setting of the two stories is similar. Although they appear to be in two different countries, one in the US in a sea-side town, and the other in a Spanish-Speaking country, perhaps Spain or Mexico, both seem to take place in the mid-twentieth century, and both take place in bright, modern businesses. Both the cafe and the A&P are probably “clean” and “well-lighted,” and both are public places where people go for a particular service, communal places that are important to the towns they are in. The two stories have different tones. “A & P” has a casual, rude, somewhat comic tone. The feeling conveyed by the text matches the young man’s irreverent way of thinking. This story is much more light-hearted than the other. “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place” has a deeper, more introspective tone. It makes the reader think more about things like aging, loneliness, and death. It is a much darker, sadder story than “A & P.” The most striking moment is when the waiter thinks, “Hail nothing full of nothing, nothing is with thee” (Hemingway). These two stories are both great in their own way, but each has a very different feel. The authors made unique choices about how to tell their stories, and each style is effective, even though the styles are not alike. The subject matter of the two stories is very similar, however. Each story is about a man working in a job that serves customers who is affected by a customer in a way the customer will never know about.

Compose a 1500 words assignment on liberal arts in our life. Needs to be plagiarism free! Another branch of the liberal arts is known as the humanities which cover literature, languages, history, and philosophy. The third branch is the creative arts – theater, fine art, creative writing and others. All these broad subjects are what are known as the liberal arts and they are, as you can see, quite wide and varied. They are usually available to students at an undergraduate level right at the beginning and at more advanced levels as we move up the higher education chain (Sigurdson 14). II. What I know about the topic 1. The main task of liberal arts Liberal arts are not designed to equip you or enable you to specialize in a specific profession. Rather, they are there to prepare the students for life in the working world. Liberal arts equip you with the ability, first and foremost, to have lifelong learning. Learning does not just end in the classroom or after graduation. It is a process through which we acquire knowledge skills and expertise throughout our life. It is, therefore, necessary for one to have courses that equip you to do exactly that – essentially be a student for life, learning and adapting to new knowledge, new aspects of life and learning how to adapt, live and even thrive with change. 2. The main capacities of liberal arts The liberal arts also give one the ability and capacity for free thinking. It teaches the student how to think, how to question and how to expand your horizons. The liberal arts also enable one to communicate effectively (Schall 7). It is not just a matter of learning how to speak a foreign language or two – though that is also covered in liberal arts – but how to interpret nonverbal communications, how to communicate in cultures other than your own, and how to express yourself in contexts that are different from your traditional ones (Sigurdson 18). The liberal arts give students a chance to not only explore and get their head round a large variety of subjects but also an ability to look at the world, themselves and others in a totally new light. It gives students an appreciation of different points of view and different modes of thought. It is an opportunity to learn about the evolution of human society, how it started out, how it came through civilization, what civilization is all about and what in the world has changed and how it has changed since this civilization came about. In liberal arts one learns what previous generations have learned, thought and experienced (Schall 11). III. Research 1. The main questions of liberal arts What questions did they ask? What answers did the great philosophers seek? Liberal arts give you an opportunity to wrestle with abstract concepts and ideas. There arose questions such as: What is beauty and how does one decide that something is beautiful and the other one is not? Does this color or make-up look good on me? How did our history shape us and our thinking? How did we interact with the environment and what impact has it had on us and us about it? What acts constitute sexual harassment in the workplace and why and how should they be reported? Thus, liberal arts result in a person who has a more rounded appreciation of himself, others and his environment. A classic story is told to explain the importance of the liberal arts. Three blind men who were told to touch an elephant and then describe what it looked like. The first one touched the elephant’s main body and decided because it was so big, this creature must be like a wall.
