    1. Un estudiante que comenzó en 2003 sí llegó 5 años antes que un estudiante que inició en 2008. No obstante, sería una locura para mí dividir el 2008 para el 2003 y decir que el segundo alumno comenzó “1.0024 veces después” que el primero. Eso no tiene ningún sentido en absoluto

      con las escalas de intervalo no podemos realizar operaciones per se... no podemos dividir 10 grados centígrados entre 30 grados, etc.. no tiene sentido hacerlo

    2. En el caso de las variables de escala de intervalo, las diferencias entre los números son interpretables, pero la variable no tiene un valor cero “natural”.

      nunca he entendido porqué las escalas de intervalo no tienen un valor cero natural.

    3. observe que si bien podemos usar el orden natural de estos artículos para construir agrupaciones sensatas, lo que no podemos hacer es promediarlos

      en las escalas ordinales, no es posible promediar!

    4. Una variable de escala ordinal es aquella en la que hay una manera natural, significativa de ordenar las diferentes posibilidades, pero no se puede hacer nada más

      en las escalas ordinales ya hay una posibilidad de ordenar las posibilidades

    5. Una variable de escala nominal (también denominada variable categórica) es aquella en la que no existe una relación particular entre las diferentes posibilidades

      Para las escalas nominales, no hay distinción de "mejor" o "mayor"

    1. However, as can be seen in figure 10.4, there has been a decline in the number of people dying in hospital in the last decade (Hall, Levant, & DeFrances, 2013). This decline can be tied to two changes in the U.S. health care system:

      A decline in the amount of people dying in the hospitol from the year 2000 to 2010 went from 776,000 to 715,000. A huge decline of impatient deaths of 61,000.

    1. The film is placed around the sample as a circle and records the diffracted X-ray beams. The positions of diffraction lines correspond to Bragg angle. And Photographic film can record both the reflected and transmitted X-ray beams.

      IMP

    2. Usually, evenly grinded sample powder is dissolved in organic solvent such as acetone or pressed into a plain on a glass slide to make sure the sampel is flat. The sample holder has a press ring to fix the slide.

      IMP

    3. f Be is close to zero, so it can make sure the X-ray source is monochromatic and does not contain introduced chracteristic X-rays from other metals.

      IMPORTANT

    4. In a reflection geometry instrumentation, X-ray tube usually contains a side window made of Be to allow the generated X-rays to emit at the demanding angle. The reason that Be is used as a X-ray window, is that the fluorescence yield

      IMP

    1. In powder X-ray diffraction, the diffraction pattern is obtained from a powder of the material, rather than an individual crystal. Powder diffraction is often easier and more convenient than single crystal diffraction since it does not require individual crystals be made.

      Imp

    1. Bragg’s Law nλ=2dsinθ(1)(1)nλ=2dsin⁡θn\lambda = 2d\sin\theta where: λλ\lambda is the wavelength of the x-ray, ddd is the spacing of the crystal layers (path difference), θθ\theta is the incident angle (the angle between incident ray and the scatter plane), and nnn is an integer

      Important

    2. Bragg’s Law was introduced by Sir W.H. Bragg and his son Sir W.L. Bragg. The law states that when the x-ray is incident onto a crystal surface, its angle of incidence, θθ\theta, will reflect back with a same angle of scattering, θθ\theta. And, when the path difference, ddd is equal to a whole number, nnn, of wavelength, a constructive interference will occur.

      Important

    1. Understanding gene replication is the key to understanding modern evolutionary theory

      DNA replication is crucial to modern evolution because it has the responsibility of creating a range of genetic diversity through mutations

    1. if you lose a finger in an accident, that you will have children missing a finger, and that such changes will eventually become characteristics of the species

      Many years ago, I can probably understand how people would have this theory. But reading this now, it seems like a silly thought to think that characteristic modifications will pass along to the offspring.

    1. . Understanding evolution can give us fresh insights about our psychology and the psychology of other species

      With the capability to understand other species, we are able to see how we are connected to them.

    2. Why do humans and other animals move, why do they have particular mental capabilities and not others

      These type of curious questions of very important in order for us to understand the fundamentals of life.

    1. Although, as we will discuss, we still learn about the brain from accidents and other traumatic brain events, we have a variety of other techniques that we can use now to study the brain in healthy individuals.

      Traumatic brain injury case studies have always been fascinating. You could observe two individuals with similar demographics in race/age/weight and jobs. Think, the American soldier. They could have almost identical injuries, yet the outcome could be drastically different.

    2. to visualize the parts of the brain that respond when we're exposed to stimuli that upset us or make us happy.

      After reading this section, I can now see how important functional imaging techniques are, especially to people with psychiatric disorders.

    3. Functional imaging techniques allow researchers to learn about the brain activity during various tasks by creating images based on the electrical activity or the absorption of various substances that occurs while a subject is engaging in a task

      This would be interesting as to tell a certain memory that would be triggers to someone. This can help with how effected a person feels when they remember events that were traumatizing. Such as patients with PTSD.

    1. he surgeon Burkhardt in 1894 performed a series of surgeries in which he selectively destroyed the frontal lobes of several patients in whom he sought to control psychotic symptoms, being the modern prototype of what was later known through Antonio Egas Moniz as psychosurgery.

      Lobotomies?

    2. Gage became irritable, irreverent, rude and profane, aspects that were not part of his way of being. His mind had changed radically.

      I can't imagine not being this way after this terrible accident happening to me. I can not help but think their could be more reasons that he was acting this way.

    3. the frontal lobes were considered silent structures, without function and unrelated to human behavior.

      Frontal lobes were not correlated to our behavior but after Gage's accident, it was shown how important our frontal lobes impact and influence our behavior.

    1. With case studies such as Phineas Gage and invention of methods such as the electroencephalogram (EEG) and computed tomography (CT or CAT) scans, scientists began to link the brain to specific behavior and cognition as biopsychology as a discipline began to emerge.

      Were these used on serial killers?

    2. The problem with PET scans was that an individual receiving a PET scan had to drink or be injected with a mildly radioactive substance, called a tracer.

      This scares me I could not imagine being willing to drink a radioactive substance.

    3. a person, the heart was saved and buried with the individual but the brain was discarded

      Wow, this is new information to me... I am kind if in shock in how they treated a dead body vs their beliefs.

    1. since we do not have control over many of the factors in our environment, our genes, and our evolution as a species, our brain function and thus our behavior is actually controlled by causes outside of our control.

      So theses are the variables of decision making.

    2. If everything in the universe is physical, then applied to psychology, including biopsychology, this means that the mind, our mental processes and subjective mental experiences, must also be entirely physical processes in an entirely material brain.

      What would these physical variables that relate to our mental processes?

    3. determinism--the belief that all events in the universe have prior causes and that these causes are external to the human will.

      My beliefs say that we have free will. I do believe that your up brining has major effects on your behaviors and actions but we are not a slave to them. We can change and progress thats why some seek therapy and counseling.

    4. With advances in research methods, more complex topics such as language, reasoning, decision making, intelligence, and consciousness are now being studied intensely by biological psychologists.

      I am a terrible decision maker and I would love to learn more about this in more depth and complexity.

    1. If the ether is attached to only primary, secondary, or methyl alkyl groups, a selective cleavage will typically take place using an SN2 mechanism.

      1,2 primary = Sn2

    1. 5

      This cannot be 5 when you add 1 and 2. You get 3. For a digit to be 5, you must have at least base 6. The digit 3 is allowed in base 6 or higher, so the 5 can only be 3, assuming the 1 and 2 are not typos.

    1. while aging that occurs due to controllable factors, such as an unhealthy lifestyle including lack of physical exercise and poor diet, is called secondary aging (Busse, 1969).

      Secondary AGING

    1. The patient must be enclosed in a metal tube-like device for the duration of the scan, sometimes as long as thirty minutes

      This must be agonizing for patients who need an MRI scan but are afraid of confined spaces or have discomfort with loud noises.

    2. it exposes patients to a dose of radiation many times higher than that of X-rays

      The thought of CT scanning emitting more radiation than x-rays is alarming. Especially to a patient who needs multiple CT scans.

    3. more modern medical imaging technologies produce data that are integrated and analyzed by computers to produce three-dimensional (3D) images or images that reveal aspects of the body functioning.

      It amazes me how computers have been upgraded to do so much more than expected since the first modern computer.

    4. MRIs have found a thicker frontal cortex (Carper & Courchesne, 2005) and a thinner temporal cortex (Hardan et al., 2006) in patients with ASD.

      The frontal cortex involves decision making, personality, expression, etc... Temporal cortex is in charge of memory, language, and sounds. So it does make sense that people struggling with ASD have a harder time communicating as well as behavior.

    5. Whether this is particularly dangerous is still being debated (McCollough et al., 2015).

      How long does it really take to debate on wether this is dangerous or not? Seeing the effects on a person before and after CT's and through research and statists I believe we have enough information to decide this. Obviously money plays a huge role in this area as well.

    6. however, X-rays are capable of damaging cells and initiating changes that can lead to cancer. This danger of excessive exposure to X-rays was not fully appreciated for many years after their widespread use.

      Overall I think X-rays are a safer option, but I still get worries personally when I am asked to get an X-ray every 6 months at my dentist office. I love being able to trust doctors but in the back of my mind this truth always seems more prominent to me.

    1. Distrust in research also has other consequences, and as recently as 2021 has been cited as a contributing factor for the disproportionate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on minority communities

      Unfortunately I agree with the distrust in the health care system because of these sorts of trials done performing studies on people and being dishonest.

    1. Recording from one area ignores what is happening everywhere else in the brain.

      This is a serious downfall in single cell recording. We need to be careful when collecting information from only one area verses other parts of the brain.

    1. TMS is able to explore neural plasticity, which is the ability of connections between neurons to change. This has implications for treating psychological disorders as well as understanding long-term changes in neuronal excitability.

      I would like to learn more about how this stimulation can help disorders. To me it seems to be a retraining of the mind and reactions to things.

    1. Glucose and oxygen, two key components for energy production

      Getting enough oxygen is so important for over all health. This is why going outside getting sunlight and exercising is so vital to overall body function and mental health.

    1. Direct imaging techniques are extremely useful ways to measure electrical brain activity in a non-invasive way. Both EEG and MEG are most useful at identifying differences in timing patterns of electrical activity.

      I love that both EEG and MEG are non invasive. I would love for both of them to be widely available for use even though MEG is more expensive.

    1. Some of this fat is stored within the abdominal cavity, called visceral fat, and some is stored just underneath the skin, called subcutaneous fat.

      Một số chất béo này được lưu trữ trong khoang bụng, được gọi là chất béo nội tạng, và một số được lưu trữ ngay bên dưới da, được gọi là chất béo dưới da

    1. The elements of poetry permit a poet to control many aspects of language—tone, pace, rhythm, sound—as well as language’s effects: images, ideas, sensations. These elements give power to the poet to shape a reader’s physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual experience of the poem.

      relate to literary element's as in short stories

    1. what i do not understand is electrolytic cells. i understand the nonspontanteous flow of electrons from the now positively charged anode (first of all, how is it positively charged and moving electrons away from it?) to the negatively charged cathode (second of all, how does the cathode accept more electrons if it already has all of them?), and third of all, what is the point of the anode moving electrons to the cathode with the addition of energy if the whole point of the electrolytic cell is to restore the pre-galvanic cell conditions? idk im lost

    1. Estado 3 diferentes funciones asociadas al citoesqueleto de células eucariotas. (ans)

    1. The more neuroscientific research progresses, the more clearly it is established that human behavior and mental processes—the key interests for psychological study—are intimately intertwined with activity in the brain.

      With the research of neuroscience, biopsychologist will be able to form a relation between human behavior and mental processes with the brain.

  2. Feb 2023
    1. He further explained that "humidity" inside the head contributed to mood changes and when this moisture inside the brain goes beyond limits, the brain loses control over its rationality and mental disorders appear

      I've heard how physical humidity in the weather can have an impact on your mood, but never heard about humidity in the brain causing mental disorders to appear. That is an interesting thought....

    2. The Organization of Behavior, where he introduced the first comprehensive theory on how the brain might create and control complex psychological functioning

      This must have been a big milestone in understanding our behavioral processes.

    3. In 1950, positron emission tomography (PET) scans were used to look at brain activity or communication in a living patient. Researchers were able to look at different parts of the brain in different situations. In other words, they could look at real time activity of the brain as the person laughed or was scared to see what ares of the brain lit up. This gave an indication of what areas of the brain maybe responsible for different emotions or behaviors.

      Looking at different parts of the brain through PET scans were a remarkable breakthrough in the 1950s

    4. This led to the formation of the neuron doctrine, the hypothesis that the functional unit of the brain is the neuron, also known as a nerve cell. Today, the field accepts neuronal theory which states that the nervous system is made up of individual nerve cells called neurons (Klein and Thorne, 2006).

      nurons and the hypothesis that supports the function of nerve cells

    5. In 1848, John Martyn Harlow treated Phineas Gage and documented his case. Gage, who was a railroad worker, had his frontal lobe pierced by an iron tamping rod in a blasting accident. He survived the trauma but suffered extensive damage to his left prefrontal cortex (Macmillan, 2001). Through Gage's case study, Harlow showed the connection between the prefrontal cortex damage, executive functioning, and personality changes.

      I still find it hard to believe Gage didn't die from that, it must have been painful, it changed his behavior, but so i've heard it changed him for the worst.

    6. Starting in early 1800's, a series of researchers began to catalog different brain parts and their presumed role in behavior.

      The start of behavior and the brain, the discovery of the spinal cord functions

    7. Galenic view of anatomy (which emphasized three major systems--the heart, brain, and blood--and the importance of a balance between four bodily fluids--blood, phlegm, and black and yellow bile)

      Thats impressive

    8. Early philosophers, such as Aristotle (384-322 B.C.E.), believed that one's mind resided in the heart. He believed that since our blood started from the heart, the soul also originated there. Plato (428-347 B.C.E.) argued that the executor of reason was the heart and our animalistic desires and emotions were controlled by the liver (Gross, 1987). Many ancient cultures, including the Chinese, Indian, and Egyptian also shared the same belief (Carlson, 2014). When the Egyptians embalmed a person, the heart was saved and buried with the individual but the brain was discarded (Klein and Thorne, 2006). However, there were early Greeks, such as Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.E.) , who believed that it was the brain and not the heart where the locus of the mind resided. He wrote: "It ought to be generally known that the source of our pleasure, merriment, laughter, and amusement, as of our grief, pain, anxiety, and tears is none other than the brain. It is specially the organ which enables us to think, see, and hear......It is the brain too which is the seat of madness and delirium, of the fears and frights which assail us" (Gross, 1987, p. 843-844).

      Isn't it great how early Philosophers and others contributed to the thoughts on the mind.

    9. Examining the history of biopsychology allows us to understand its development over time, highlighting instances where researchers were wrong about the nature of brain-behavior relationships and revealing what we have yet to explain (Saucier and Elias, 2006).

      How do you feel about this?

    10. William James in his book, The Principles of Psychology (1890), argued that the scientific study of psychology should be grounded in an understanding of biology (Walinga, 2014). Like many early psychologists, James had extensive training in physiology.

      Important, James explains the role of biology in behavior

    1. a key organizational principle of the brain: the localization of function

      Mental and behavioral processes are each assigned to a specific part in our brain that execute different responsibilities.

    2. motivated behavior (such as hunger, thirst, and sex); control of movement; learning and memory; sleep and biological rhythms; and emotion

      real life issues that will make sense

    1. The above method is sometimes called the Complementary Method. There is yet a more specific approach called the Complementary Algorithm. It relies on the idea of complements that we defined in an earlier exercise set. In Base Ten, pairs of complements were 1 & 9, 2 & 8, 3 & 7, 4 & 6 and 5 & 5. For the complementary method, you find a very specific complement of the subtrahend and add it to both the minuend and subtrahend before subtracting. The complement, in this case, is a 1 followed only by zeros such that the number of zeros is the same number of digits in the minuend. First, you'll have to come up with an easy way to find the complement of a given number.

      This paragraph should be revised:

      The above method is sometimes called the Complementary Method. There is yet a more specific approach called the Complementary Algorithm. It relies on the idea of complements, where two values are complements when their sum is a specified value. In Base Ten, pairs of complements were 1 & 9, 2 & 8, 3 & 7, 4 & 6 and 5 & 5, because each pair sum to the value 10. For the complementary method, you find a very specific complement of the subtrahend and add it to both the minuend and subtrahend before subtracting. In the complementary algorithm, the complements sum to a 1 followed only by zeros such that the number of zeros d is the same number of digits in the minuend, i.e., the complements sum to \(10^d\).

    1. Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system. The more neuroscientific research progresses, the more clearly it is established that human behavior and mental processes—the key interests for psychological study—are intimately intertwined with activity in the brain. It encompasses the branch of biology that deals with the anatomy, biochemistry, molecular biology, and physiology of neurons and neural circuits. It also encompasses cognition (thinking) and human behavior.

      Did you know that neuroscience is important in finding cures in human behavior?

    1. He became a man of bad and rude ways, disrespectful to colleagues, and unable to accept advice. His plans for the future were abandoned, and he acted without thinking about the consequences.

      Injuring the brain can cause emotional changes, just as Gage strugged and in turn became a villain

    2. Surgical errors, extreme mistreatment, and tragic accidents are impactful events that can alter individuals significantly, providing unique opportunities to study the effects of experiences which can not be ethically studied experimentally.

      The incredable yet disturbing breakthroughs of experimentation.

    1. A thesis statement that is forceful shows readers that you are, in fact, making an argument.

      I agree when you step you have to step hard so it can look like your ten toes behind your decision

    2. A factual statement often is not considered arguable.

      yes it has to be a thing that can have indefinite solutions in order to be arguable without facts proving that something is right.

    3. the creation of a thesis statement begins when you choose a broad subject and then narrow down its parts until you pinpoint a specific aspect of that topic

      this is an effective way to stay on top of your thesis.

    4. It is specific and focuses on one to three points of a single idea

      if your a beginner like me I would say focus on one specific thing because it can get hard jugglling more than you can carry

    5. For whatever topic your professor gives you, you must ask yourself, “What do I want to say about it?”

      sometimes it can be hard to think of things to say when your speechless how could i get unstuck?

    6. It is not enough merely to discuss a general topic or simply answer a question with a yes or no.

      I can agree with this because i like to go deeper in a conversation

    7. You should form your thesis before you begin to organize an essay,

      And how would organizing the thesis before starting the essay help the reader progress.

    8. an essay can fall into the same trap of being out of order and confusing.

      I can make a connection with this because mines seem to be out of order at times.

    9. hat needed further explanation or providing too many details on a meaningless element.

      yeah when they dont really say things to get you encouraged into listening to theyre story in can be quite disengaging

    1. ⋂X∈CX={x∈U | x∈X for some X∈C}

      Since the intersection must include only elements that appear in all sets, then it should read $$ x \in U | x \in X \forall X \in C $$, whereas the set builder notation here is the same as for the union.

    1. Since 𝑥∈𝑓(𝐴)x∈f(A)x \in f(A) and 𝑦∈𝑓(𝐵)y∈f(B)y \in f(B), 𝑦∈𝑓(𝐴)∩𝑓(𝐵

      I believe this is supposed to be y \in f(A) instead of x \in f(A)?

    1. When we read good writing, we get lost in the experience and in the images the words are creating in our minds. We are transported.

      Whenever I read, I feel like i am in the story. I feel like i am engaging with the characters, the plot, the scenery... the list goes on

    2. Sometimes this concept confuses my students. “But I can feel love,” they say. “I can feel anger.” And, yes, of course we can recall what those emotions feel like when they are referenced in a poem. And, in fact, we feel actual sensations brought on by these emotions when they happen. Our blood races when we’re in love, our stomach jumps when our lover or someone we desire walks into sight. We feel our chests swell when we think about our mothers and our fathers, but when we read abstract words like “love” and “anger” we experience them in a vague, cloudy way, reliant more on our own individual memories that involved our five senses to make, rather than the poem itself using our five senses through imagery to create a new experience and memory.

      there is emotional value when creating these poems and utilizing specific terms to capture those images that represent emotion, beauty, poise, etc.

    3. Ideally, the poem should recreate the experience of a poem through concrete details so the reader isn’t merely told about the experience through the speaker, but shown the experience which the poet recreates in a way that engages the reader’s five senses.

      Creating these experiences in poetry can grasp onto ideologies of new discoveries through literature and art; if you are discovering a new world.

    1. . What distinguishes listening from hearing?

      Listening is to engage, connect, actively participate and interact with other people or group of persons by paying more than only attention. It is going deeper to get involved in other people's ideas, feel or sense what they are trying to express to have a better comprehension of their conversation. Hearing is just superficial, you don't really care or engage with other people's feelings, have an active or effective communication.

    1. If you chose (d), you may be a kinesthetic learner. You learn best through doing, and prefer hands-on activities. In long lectures, fidgeting may help you focus.

      this does best describe me because I am a hands on learner i cant really visualize things i have to touch it.

    2. You would start putting the pieces together and figure out the process through trial and error, consulting the directions as you worked.

      i first would try 4 if it looks easy id try to put it together as i see it while occasionally looking at directions

    1. The duodenum contains Brunner’s glands that produce bicarbonate, and pancreatic juice that contains bicarbonate to neutralize hydrochloric acid in the stomach.

      Duodenum-Brunner's glands- HCO3-

    1. The unions of the Bay Area looked anxiously at LA, for lower wages there tempted companies to relocate. Bay Area unions were also pressured by employers who competed with southern California companies and their lower labor costs. Extremists in the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, including John and James McNamara, had begun to set bombs to terrorize opponents of unions. In 1910, they targeted the Los Angeles Times building. In the early hours of October 1, an explosion ripped open the building and ignited a roaring fire. Twenty-one people died. William Burns, whose detective agency had aided the San Francisco graft investigation, tracked down the bombers. Most union leaders considered it a “frame-up” and

    1. It conveys its message comically through certain conventions that come along with the meme genre, such as the syntactic structure "me, a [insert noun]

      memes usually do convey and help readers understand

    1. But these explanations for success or failure aren’t necessarily accurate.

      it can be accurate though as much as you try something if its not meant for you then you cant force it.

    2. unhappy with anything less than an A in a course although maybe this depends on the difficulty of the subject.

      i feel as though this is correct if if the subject is hard and i pass with a C i would be even happier than passing an easy class with an A. it would feel like such a big accomplishment with a weight lifted off my shoulders.

    1. today's college graduates lacking in interpersonal skills, problem solving, effective written and oral communication skills, the ability to work together in teams, and critical and analytical thinking"

      I agree with this because this generation lacks communication skills

    2. In college writing classes, students study specific topics in depth, research ideas, and then, in a process that involves planning, reading, writing, researching, and revising, present their ideas in a well-organized format

      I agree that these topics are not just used in school but used in other places like amazon.

    3. If you want to be professional, you need to interact frequently with others. You have to be someone who can anticipate and solve complex problems and coordinate your work with others. Whether you're in business, an entrepreneur, or in a corporation, all of these skills depend on effective communication.

      I agree that working with others can improve problem solving skills in business.

    4. found that 89 percent of employers believe that colleges and universities should place more emphasis on teaching students to "effectively communicate orally and in writing”

      it could help for all teachers to help students with communicating and writing efficiently. the earlier you start off the less harder it will be.

    5. how to write is an essential skill that is as relevant today as ever!

      I agree with this knowing how to write is really beneficial with getting a career.

    1. Revision can be one of the most important, instructive, and even pleasurable parts of the writing process.

      revision is one of the most important and pleasurable processes in writing

    2. Once you have an idea of the points you will cover in your essay, an outline can help you plan how you will support each one.

      once i have an idea of the points i will cover in my essay it will help how i plan each one
