The research concerning the alteration of memories is a recent area of study, and while it could prove beneficial in regards to trauma and crippling fear, it also poses an ethical dilemma regarding a person’s identity. Memories associated with fear are seemingly permanently recorded by the brain and are unsusceptible to change. Yet as Michael Specter explained in a 2014 piece...

Around him is an uneven cacophony produced by an undefined group of people. Fires crackle, smoke soars, and skies blacken. These masses rush frantically toward a new world order beckoning lustfully, greedily with open arms. They rush toward a vision of a new Ukraine–a European Ukraine–no longer bound to a traumatic destiny with its neighbor Russia. A European Ukraine could spell infinite possibilities but, most importantly, is seen as an optimistic future for a Ukrainian nation scarred by centuries of foreign control. Unfortunately,...

Can the Maidan movement in Ukraine, which led to the ousting of Viktor Yanukovych in February 2014, be called a revolution? If so, what are the implications of calling the Maidan movement a revolution? While a “war of narratives,” as well as a civil war, is being fought over the legacy of Maidan and the future of Ukraine, this paper tackles these pressing questions by constructing a narrative of the events which unfolded in Ukraine between November 21st, 2013 and March 1st, 2014. This narrative is analyzed in four stages: revolutionary onset, popularization...

George - Fri, 06 Jun 2014 09:52 EDT http://www.inquiriesjournal.com/articles/901/the-role-of-hydrogen-peroxide-in-controlling-plant-cell-signaling-and-gene-expression-patterns-related-to-stress-and-defense-responses http://www.inquiriesjournal.com/articles/1185/diplomacy-and-debt-us-attribution-of-status-resulting-from-ida-graduation By Karinne Smolenyak - With one fifth of the world’s economy and the world’s only global military force, American diplomacy is critical to the future despite the lack of a ‘grand strategy.’ For example, Henrikson proposes ‘Americanism’ (2006) as one potential future. He does not mean America exerts hegemonic control over the world, but future world diplomacy may become a response to American action and American domestic politics (2006). If the United States’ diplomatic strategy (i.e. attribution of status to states) plays a critical in the world’s future, is it possible...

Awe - Legged insects are able to traverse a wide range of unpredictable terrain and assess their surroundings by responding to sensory input absorbed through their eyes and antennae. When an antenna comes into contact with an obstacle, the cockroach changes gait patterns accordingly to navigate around the obstacle (Mu, 2005). In this study, discrete electrolytic lesions were used to assess the role of various regions in the brain in completing complex obstacle negotiation behaviors. One region in particular, the central complex, is of interest because it has been shown to have antennal inputs as well...

Overgrowth can result in an infection of the oral cavity, known as oral candidiasis (OPC). Neutrophils play a major role in nonspecific immune defense against fungal infection. Neutrophils then engage in phagocytosis of the C. albicans by engagement of membrane innate receptors, called pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that interact with certain identifying molecules on the cell wall of the infecting fungus, called pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Toll Like Receptors (TLRs) are a type of PPR...

The central figures, for Thomas, were Theodore Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy; his friend Henry Cabot Lodge, hawkish senator and foreign policy adviser to President McKinley; and William Randolph Hearst, editor of the New York Journal, whose paper did its upmost to fan war fervor in 1897-8. These men were inspired by, and had the strong support of Alfred Thayer Mahan a...

Starr - Where it is true that at times weight loss is a factor in health problems, it is usually combined with other reasons which would lead to less of a focus on weight loss and more focus on healthy food habits, or may not be a valid reason at all. It is important to listen to oneself, especially when the issue is the quality and longevity of life. It is not only all right to question the advice doctors’ give but may in fact save lives. Going beyond questioning medical professionals it is imperative to insist on clear communication, to fully understand what it is that is being advised. Remember...
