The reasons for your struggles in relationship




If you are struggling to fall or stay in love, then there might be some biomedical factors which influence this battle. Scientists have revealed the biochemical reasons behind this vice. Anthropologist Helen Fisher the author of “Why We Love” and a leading adviser for chemistry.com, in her research on the brain systems that initiate the forms of love (romantic love, attachment and lust) and the future trends of these forms. She stated that the trend of hook-up which includes; commitment free, fleeting and sexual encounters which do not necessarily involve in sexual intercourse showed the same features as the casual sex in the late twentieth century. However, at the end of the twentieth century sex was not that casual as it is at the moment.   She also argued that in the coming generations, there will be more complications with relationships and this trend will be experienced everywhere worldwide. The primary cause of complications in relationships at the moment and in the next generation is the over -prescription antidepressants which according to Fisher have effects on the sex drive and the brain system which is responsible for the romantic love and attachment. In American for instance, the prescription of antidepressants is rated at 100 million annually (Wegner 55). The serotonin-enhancing medications such as Prozac, Zoloft and Paxil are responsible for the difficulties encounter in the relationships. The Prozac, Zoloft, and Paxil are known to affect sex drive negatively, the ability to fall in love and stay in love.  When the level of serotonin increased in human bodies, it overwhelms the dopamine circuits that affect the elation. 

Fisher noted that the majority of Americans are struggling in their relationships, and the divorce is not seen as the failure but an avenue for happiness.  “Keep trying until you get it right’’. She said (Wegner 56).  On the other hand, Gregory Stock, the author of Redesigning Humans stated that the problem with the health care is the adoption of new technologies to enhance human wellbeing without considering the adverse effects of the technology. “We should move from the science of curing us to the science of staying healthy." Stock said (Wegner). Therefore, before you use any medications to boost anything in your body, you should always take into consideration the effects of that drug enhancer in your body.

How to write a Forensic Case Study: Murder of Junko Furuta

Image
Photo of Junko Furuta  For one to score high marks in a Forensic Case Study, one must  adhere to the following: Background of the case: This section contains details about the crime. It includes; the reasons for committing the offense, the conditions which the crime was committed, the circumstances of the crime scene and clear identification of the suspect(s) and the victim(s). One should ensure that the information in this part gives a precise idea of what the case is all about.   Pick and Write an article on Iwriter Website Evidence: This encompasses the piece of evidence found at the crime scene. The evidence should be described in details, that is, ways in which the evidence was collected, processed and preserved.   Forensic Tests: The tests should be two or more that were used to analyze the evidence. The science or theory of instrumentation used must be described fully.   Results: This consists of a detailed explanation of the forensic tests and the data inter

Roles of Sodium Carbonate when Extracting Caffeine from Tea Leaves

Image
A student failed to add sodium carbonate (Na 2 CO 3 ) when extracting caffeine from tea leaves with hot water. Though, high yield of caffeine was produced. The crystals melted at temperatures between 202  and 214 degree  Celsius. Explain. This happened because sodium carbonate did not interfere with the caffeine content of the tea leaves. Sodium carbonate (which is a base) deprotonates the phenolic hydroxyl group (-OH) (acidic) of tannins rendering them anionic. Hence, making them highly soluble in water, but parsimoniously soluble in methylene chloride. So, if sodium carbonate is not added when extracting caffeine with hot water, the extracted caffeine would also contain tannins. Additionally, sodium carbonate is added during the extraction to keep caffeine (an alkaloid which is an organic base)  in a free base form. It prevents caffeine from reacting with available acid available, which may lead to the formation cation. It reacts with a phenolic hydroxyl group

Arrhenius equation: Increasing temperature increases the rate reaction

Image
The rate of reaction of a particular reaction often increases as one increase the temperature. However, how can this belief be proved using Arrhenius equation? According to the Arrhenius equation, the rate constant (k) is obtained by the ratio of Ea to RT, in which Ea denotes required energy while RT is the available thermal energy. The Arrhenius Equation is given by: k=Ae - (Ea/RT) When Ea is larger, it results in slower reactions. On the other hand, when RT is large, it leads to faster rate of reaction. Larger Ea gives smaller rate constant k, but larger RT produces larger rate constant (k). Larger rate constant increases the rate of reactions.  By using Arrhenius equation, one can easily see that when the temperature is increased, the rate constant will also increase. Let us consider these two scenarios. In the first scenario, Ea=120,000 Joules/mole, R=8.31 mol -1 K -1 , and K=373K.In the second scenario, Ea=120,000Joules/mole, R=8.31 mol -1 K -1 , and K=423
