In regards to human research (IRB). In your opinion do you think that there may be excessive controls in place over research. We are all aware of atrocities such as the Tuskegee experiment and the MK ultra projects that performed research on unknowing people. But in those instances, where full disclosure and acceptance by the participants has been received. Is there truly a need in your opinion for all the red tape?

The average risk of transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to a health care worker after percutaneous exposure to HIV-infected blood has been estimated as 0.3 percent. However, the factors that influence this risk have not been determined, and the efficacy of postexposure prophylaxis with antiretroviral drugs have not been clinically evaluated. If postexposure prophylaxis is effective, it would offer an entirely new strategy for preventing HIV transmission in nonoccupational settings as a supplement to the preferred strategy of preventing exposure. Study of occupational exposure to HIV presents an important opportunity to evaluate postexposure prophylaxis, because the source, time, and many details of the exposure are known. A nationwide, prospective, placebo-controlled trial of prophylaxis with zidovudine after percutaneous exposure to HIV among health care workers was discontinued when only 84 health care workers enrolled after one year since many thousands would be needed to assess the reduction of a 0.3 percent risk of transmission. Nevertheless, occupational exposure to HIV and infection continue to occur, and there is a compelling public health need for data on the efficacy of postexposure prophylaxis.

The World Bank and United Nations often use the Human Development Index as a measure of economic performance. This is a number constructed using the Gross Domestic Product Per Capita, the literacy rate (as a measure of education in society) and the life expectancy (as a measure of the health of people in a society).
This is a better measure of country performance, especially in countries with high levels of income inequality. Explain how this is a construct and likely to better reflection of economic performance.

Psychologists have described the human nervous system as the communication and control center for the body. The nervous system allows us to take in information from the environment, communicate the information to different parts of the body, and coordinate the body's response. The nervous system itself is made up of neurons, or nerve cells, that communicate with each other by receiving and transmitting electrochemical signals, called neurotransmission. All human behavior is made possible by the activity of individual neurons working together in the nervous system. Think about a simple action you do every day, like answering your phone. When you perform this routine act, what are the individual neurons in your nervous system doing to make it possible?
In a multi-paragraph essay, explain how the activity of individual neurons enables you to perform a simple action like answering your phone. Be sure to describe the main parts of a neuron, explain the unique function of each part, and describe how neurons use electrochemical signals for neurotransmission. Include details from class materials, readings, and research on the nervous system to support your discussion.

'Development is the development of man, it is human being centered'. Economic development is economic growth plus positive changes in the factors or indicators of well being of the masses.
Explain economic growth and examine or discuss some of the factors or indicators of which positive changes will bring about economic growth and lead to economic development.
Hints- examples of the factors or indicators include: physical capital per worker, human capital per worker, natural resources per worker, technological knowledge, savings and investment, diminishing returns and catch-up-effect, free trade and investment from abroad, quality of education and teachers per student, access to education, access to health care and quality of health care, doctors/medical personnel per citizen, quality nutrition and child malnutrition, access to clean drinking water, leisure, access to electricity, available paved roads and other infrastructures, bureaucratic corruption and integrity of public official, property rights and political stability, enforcement of contracts, access to television, computers, telephones, internet, infant mortality rates, maternal mortality rates, population growth, research and development.
