After the first cleanup, Scanlan should have noted that the greatest methane danger is when the mine is inactive for a period of time. According to (Hartley & Kenney, 2006), after a long interruption of work, or in a particularly gassy mine, more methane accumulates, and people are killed in this process. However, even more people are killed if safety precautions are neglected. Secondly, Scanlan could have contacted the local news station or newspaper to report the negligence of the mine owners. Prior to the blast, the leaders of United Mine Workers Local 52 wrote to the governor, complaining of conditions in No.
Damage to the amygdala or hippocampus causes loss of emotions and memory respectively. By removing part of H.M.’s temporal lobe which meant some parts of the amygdala and hippocampus, he suffered severe amnesia. He could remember things that happened a longtime ago and even his name meaning that his long-term childhood memory was intact but short-term memory was severely affected. By learning new motor skills but not conscious of them, it showed that the brain has different parts that controlled memory. According to me, H.M.’s inability to recall the words was a problem of consolidation as well as a long term memory problem.
He had surgery on his spine, and then again when he was a couple of pounds heavier, he had surgery on his brain to prevent hydrocephalus. But that surgery did not help at all. As he grew older, we found out that fluid was building up in his skull. He immediately went to emergency surgery, and he now carries a tube in his brain and goes down to the bladder area.

‘ After the Romans left Britain the progress they had made in public health did not continue’ Do you agree? Explain your answer. (16 marks) When the Romans left Britain it was difficult for their progress in public health to continue. This was because they took their knowledge and expertise with them.

Watching this video significantly helped me understand the things that go on in our brains that affect our lives tremendously. A man named Marvin suffered from a stroke that damaged the left side of his brain and completely destroyed the part his brain that controlled ability to feel any emotion.

Phineas Gage Paper Dana Greer February 18, 2012 PSY/360 Jason Lambert Many professionals have try to explain what parts of the brain are connected to cognitive functions. The brains rolling cognitive functions are very complex. Because of Phineas gages accident researchers were able to look deeper into cognitive functions. Cognition is considered the act or process of knowing that includes understanding, reasoning, recollection, awareness, language functions, and perception (Waldstein & Elias, 2003). There are four main sections of the brain with these four sections to each control different functions.
In 1966 Charles Whitman killed 16 and injured 33 at the University of Texas. Later there were notes found written by Whitman asking for an autopsy because he knew something was wrong with his brain. After analyzing it was revealed that a nickel size abnormality close to the amygdala in his brain, which is the primary emotion center. Decades since it is still not that simple with the technologies of MRI and CT scan. The Prefrontal Cortex communicating with the amygdala puts it in over drive when there is a threat and if there is no threat the prefrontal will calm down, being that if the communication is faulty that message won’t get through.
As illustrated in Out of this Furnace, proper operation of the blast furnaces was an impending life or death matter. Unfortunately, for the characters of Kracha’s best friend, Dubik, and Mike, their livelihood depended on the factory and the factory ultimately ended their life as well. “Dubik died two days after a blast furnace explosion blind and unconscious,” (pg.53). The explosion was later deemed an “accident”; however, Kracha explained, “In a larger sense, it was the result of greed, and part of the education of the American steel industry” (pg. 54).
“I was saved when I was going on thirteen but not really saved.” He states as a narrator.

A thought like demonstrates internal conflict. Internal conflict is a major theme in this story.

Since he was unable to work, he was not able to provide medical insurance for himself or his wife and children.
