For example, the use of antibodies made artificially fluorescent (fluorescently labeled antibodies) can be directed to bind to and identify a specific antigens present on a pathogen. A fluorescence microscope is then used to detect fluorescently labeled antibodies bound to internalized antigens within clinical samples or cultured cells. This technique is especially useful in the diagnosis of viral diseases, where the light microscope is incapable of identifying a virus directly. Biochemical tests Biochemical tests used in the identification of infectious agents include the detection of metabolic or enzymatic products characteristic of a particular infectious agent. Since bacteria ferment carbohydrates in patterns characteristic of their genus and species, the 2 detection of fermentation products is commonly used in bacterial identification. Acids, alcohols and gases are usually detected in these tests when bacteria are grown in selective

PSYCHOLOGY PART 1: CORE Biological level of analysis Outline principles that define the biological level of analysis. 1) Behavior can be innate, because it is genetically based. Evolution may play a key role in behavior. 2) Animals may be studied as a means of understanding human behavior. 3) There are biological correlates of behavior. Cognitions, emotions and behaviors are products of the anatomy and physiology of our nervous and endocrine system. Explain how principles of the biological level of analysis may be demonstrated in research. 1) Correlational studies: Study by Buss, who hypothesized that across cultures, men will prefer to marry younger women because of greater reproductive capacity and women will place greater value on a potential mate's earning potential to provide survival advantages. This evolutionary hypothesis was tested in 37 cultures by sending out questioners. 2) Twin studies (type of correlational stud
(Maes et.al 1998, Morita et al., 2005, Marsland et al 2008). Elliot and Eisdorfer (1982) distinguished two important dimensions in psychological stressors - duration and course (e.g. discrete vs continuous) and five categories of psychological stress. Amongst these five categories acute stressors such as laboratory challenges (e.g. Emotion regulation in relation.. 1 public speaking, mental arithmetic tests or benji jump), are the most validated and practical to study stress in psychology. Meta-analyses of 300 empirical studies, conducted by Segerstrom and Miller 2004, implicated that acute stressors were linked with increase in some parameters of natural immunity e.g. natural killer cells and the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) and down regulation of some functions of specific immunity (e .g. lymphocyte responses).
It was so named because of its similarity to Mun- chausen syndrome, a factitious disorder in which a person intentionally produces or fabricates physical symptoms in him- or herself.' In MSP the symptoms are intentionally produced o r fabricated in a child by a parent, usually the mother MSBP is a syndrome in which perpetrators either harm a child in their care or achieve harm through their insistence on medical tests and treatments for non-existent, fabricated or ecacerbated conditions. Abuse may go on for some time, and sometimes this abuse results in the child's death. In the strictest terms, Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy means that a perpetrator has Munchausen's syndrome or factitious illness himself/herself and manifests the psychipathology via the child. Aga kas MSBP on vaimne haigus ja kas kohtul on võimalus tunnistada selliseid vanemaid süüdimatuks/kas
The difference between probability and nonprobability sampling is that nonprobability sampling does not use a random selection procedure. This does not necessarily mean that nonprobability samples are unrepresentative of the population; however, it does mean that nonprobability samples cannot depend upon statistical probability theory. With a probabilistic sample, we know the probability that we represent the population well and therefore we can estimate confidence intervals and significance tests. With a nonprobability sample, we may or may not represent the population well, but it is not appropriate to apply statistical inference to generalize to a general population. At best, we can use statistical inference to assess the precision with which we can generalize to a population consisting of whoever responded. Whether this is representative for any general population is beyond statistical inference. 1.4.3 Response and Nonresponse Error
between how human graders approach the rating task and the process by which AES evaluates a writing sample to failed implementations of AES in university placement 5 testing programs. And clearly there are certain types of stylized text writing that AES may never be able to evaluate. Nevertheless, AES is now used as a scoring process for Automated Essay Scoring 10high-stakes tests (e.g., GMAT) and is provided as a common instructional intervention for writing. AES was a technology trigger that has spawned several related, and new innovative education technologies. In the next section we provide descriptions of emerging technology that, based on AES, has migrated to other measurement domains. Transformations into New Applications The success of AES and short-answer scoring (Leacock & Chodorow, 2003) has set
Coding and designing for uncertain future requirements implies the risk of spending resources on something that might not be needed. Related to the "communication" value, simplicity in design and coding should improve the (quality of) communication. A simple design with very simple code could be easily understood by most programmers in the team. Within Extreme Programming, feedback relates to different dimensions of the system development: Feedback from the system: by writing unit tests, or running periodic integration tests, the programmers have direct feedback from the state of the system after implementing changes. Feedback from the customer: The functional tests (aka acceptance tests) are written by the customer and the testers. They will get concrete feedback about the current state of their system. This review is planned once in every two or three weeks so the customer can easily steer the development.
