(AO1) Research into circadian rhythms Siffre (1972): investigated the effect of the removal of the exogenous zeitgebers (light) on the circadian rhythm of the sleep wake cycle. He spent 7 months in an underground cave with no natural light. He continued to sleep and eat as normal, but didn’t know the time. It was found that his physiology and behaviour remained the same, but his circadian rhythm increased from 24 hours to 25 hours. It can be concluded that circadian rhythms persist despite the removal of exogenous zeitgebers.
Lin Article Critique Part III Whitney Barber Liberty University December 9, 2012 EVALUATING ANALYSIS AND RESULTS When an author reports percentages, it is also important for the underlying number of cases fir each percentage to be reported as well (Pyrczak, 2008). It can be considered misleading if all numbers are not reported. In the beginning of this study, there were forty participants. At the end, there were only fourteen leaving seven in each group. The four-month follow up consisted of only six from the experimental group and four from the controlled group.
Avoiding people who are different, such as those with a mental/physical disability or those of a different culture, is classed as discriminatory practice. By not making an effort to talk to and find ways of communicating with these individuals, it would be seen as practice which excludes them. Automatically giving someone a bedpan, as it is ‘easier’ for the carer instead of taking
Some research on brain damaged patients such as that by Green and Gillette found that there is still electronic movement around the SCN in circadian sleep patterns even thought they were no longer connected. Although there is lots of research done on brain activity and the role of the SCN, it can’t be
However, the prisoner in Plato’s story after gaining this new knowledge let others in bondage know of his new found knowledge but felt that the first truth was easier to except. On the other hand Neo in The Matrix decided he wanted to learn what the real truth was. Both characters were interested in find out the truth but they accepted the truth differently. Plato thought it was necessary for the chained man in the Allegory of the Cave needed to escape from the cave to seek the truth. However, Descartes, in Meditations I raises the question how could he know with certainty that the world he lived in wasn’t an illusion forced upon him by a demon.
According to Meddis, sleep may simply ensure that animals stay still when they have nothing better to do with their time. For example: diurnal animals can’t look for food at night so they go to sleep to stay out of harm. In support of Meddis’ waste of time hypothesis, Siegal says that being awake is riskier than being asleep because an animal is more likely

He states that he took many tablets of aspirin (salicylates) over the last 24-hour period because of a severe headache. He is unable to urinate. His vital signs are: Temp = 98.6; apical pulse = 94; respirations = 32 and deep.
The following account will go explain each one of these stages. I encountered a patient who was admitted with confusion. For the first 24 hours he would just wander around the ward and sometimes sit at the entrance to the bay without causing any problems to either the staff or the other patients. Up to this point he didn’t show any signs of aggression or frustration and posed no threat. The next day there were marked differences in the patient, he had trouble with his balance and was extremely unsteady on his feet, so much so that he fell over next to the nurses’ station and sustained a bump to his head.
Twelve trials including a total of 266 participants met their selection criteria. The researchers found no improvement in muscle strength in people with genetic diseases called metabolic myopathies, such as McArdle's disease. Creatine was, however, effective at improving muscle strength in people with muscular dystrophies and was well-tolerated (Jenkins). An example of a typical loading dose in exercise performance (for adults ages 19 and older): Take 5g of creatine monohydrate, 4 times daily (20s total daily) for 2 to 5 days. Maintenance dose in exercise performance (for adults ages 19 and older): Take 2g daily.
Unfortunately, if one is not registered through the system how would they be tracked? This is one flaw within the system. If a particular law enforcement agency preform a test to match information and is unsuccessful, chances are that the individual may have never been in contact with the law previously. Civilians who wish to be protected may volunteer this information in order to believe or think they are protected. A criminal or potential criminal will not volunteer this information willingly.
