Human Lifespan

Human Lifespan

Human development is marked by different stages and milestones over the lifespan.

It is expressed over three domains: physical, cognitive and socio/emotional. While human physical and cognitive development is universal, socio/emotional definitions and development vary from culture to culture. Gaining a basic knowledge of human lifespan development will lead to a better understanding of the appearance, perceptions and behaviors of the self and others.

    Stages of Human Development

        The various stages of human development include the prenatal period, infancy, toddlerhood, early childhood, middle childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, middle adulthood and late adulthood. Each stage is marked by milestones in physical, cognitive, and socio/emotional development.
    Physical Development

        Physical development has to do with the way that the human body develops over a lifespan. The most rapid and complex human development occurs during the prenatal period. From infancy to early childhood, the physical milestones include developing motor skills like learning to control body movements, walk, talk, speak, use tools like spoons and forks and use the restroom. From infancy to early childhood, humans grow in height, weight and mass and get their first set of teeth. Middle childhood has only a few physical milestones, such as continued growth at a much slower rate and the gain of permanent teeth.

        Adolescence is the second most rapid and complex time of human development and is when the sexual maturation process begins. Females begin to grow breasts, their hips expand and they grow pubic hair and begin menstruation, which marks their physical ability to procreate. They may grow a few inches more in height. Males have significant growth spurts and develop facial and pubic hair, their voices deepen and they begin to have sperm-producing ejaculations, signifying their ability to procreate.

        Young adulthood is when humans are at the prime of their physical development. All of the systems are functioning optimally, making this the best time for reproduction. Middle adulthood brings the beginning of physical deterioration, such as the end of fertility in women, or menopause. The decrease in physical abilities and health for both sexes continues through late adulthood.

    Cognitive Development
        Cognitive development has to do with the way humans perceive and experience the world and deals with issues like memory, thinking and decision-making processes and concept comprehension.

        During the prenatal period, cognitive development is highly enveloped in physical development as the primary tool for cognition; the brain is still being developed. During infancy and early childhood, milestones like speaking, comprehension and object differentiation occur. Thoughts about the world are simplistic, and judgments are made in an either/or framework. Middle childhood brings the beginning of concrete and logical thinking, and adolescence brings about a phase where cognitive judgments are often overridden by feelings and impulses because of the body's rapidly changing physical and biological climate.

        Young adulthood is the human cognitive prime, as the capacity for rapid and accurate memory, thought processing and information analysis function at peak levels. Perceptions of the world, judgment and morality become more sophisticated and complex. During middle adulthood, humans are experts at problem solving, atlthough they begin to experience some signs of decline with speed in processing and recall. Late adulthood signifies the continued deterioration of cognitive abilities.

    Socio/Emotional Development

        Socio/emotional development has to do with how an individual is able to handle emotions, relationships, social situations, and the various roles demanded of them by society. Some aspect of Socio/Emotional standards, such as social expectations, relationships, and roles vary from culture to culture.

        During infancy and early childhood, the primary relationships are with the parents and based on attachment. Environmental exploration, impulsivity, differentiation of self (from others) and the basics of social interaction are learned. In early childhood, impulsivity begins to give way to control, and awareness of consequences significantly effects behavioral choices. Middle childhood begins the transition from family orientation to peer orientation, which carries on into adolescence.

        Issues of identify, sexuality and sexual expression, conflict and resolution and internal stability prevail. By young adulthood, the focus shifts from peers to career, social role, building external stability, finding a mate and starting a family.

        Middle adulthood is met with the psychological and emotional challenges of facing the mid-life crisis, and a life analysis and inventory is taken. Late adulthood marks the transition from the mid-life crisis. Life reflection, acceptance of death, and legacy building or making social contributions also occur at this phase.
    Significance

        Having some knowledge about human lifespan development is beneficial for many reasons. It increases self-awareness and understanding, which helps with life planning. If a female is aware of the stages of her physical development, for example, she will know that her natural childbearing years are limited. If she wants to have children, she can use family planning to make choices about her education, career and mate to support this goal. Additionally, this knowledge can be helpful for improving relationships and interpersonal communication and resolving conflicts.

RFID - The Way of the Future


RFID - The Way of the Future


RFID has been talked about a lot in the past few years and for good reason. It is essentially the future due to the significant role it can play in every industry you can imagine. Healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, hospitality, retail, education, you name it!

One of the significant reasons for its adoption across various types of businesses is that the cost and complexity associated with RFID is minimal. RFID tags, RFID readers, RFID infrastructure as a whole can be integrated into existing products and solutions quite easily. For those of you who are not familiar with how RFID really works, here is a short little explanation:

RFID Tags: Small little chips of various sizes with information loaded in them.
RFID Readers: These are your scanners with antennas built-in to scan for information from the RFID tags.

Now, how this essentially works is that the RFID tags are loaded with information and the RFID reader's antenna sends out radio signals in short bursts which essentially communicates with the RFID tags and also powers the RFID tags which enables them to communicate. So basically you are sending/receiving information without the middlemen: Wires! It is a really neat concept which is being adopted worldwide to enable businesses keep track of their investments and it provides them with a more efficient way to carry out various tasks.

Imagine this: you have a RFID chip embedded in your arm and that carries all your personal and financial information. You never need to carry a wallet or ID. Ever! Isn't that something? Well, the question still remains if you would actually embed a a metal chip in your arm? I wouldn't!

RFID How Does it Work?


RFID  How Does it Work? 















have been talking to my friends about RFID a lot lately and a number of them have told me exactly this:

"Yeah, RFID! I know what it is. The thing which works wirelessly." Once they said this I noticed the little confusion in their face and that said it all! How does RFID actually work? Well, I am here to explain what components form the RFID infrastructure and how it really works.

RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification (as you would have realized). The components involved:

1. RFID Tag

2. RFID Reader

3. Software to track and analyze data

The RFID tag is attached/embedded into the asset you want to track. The RFID tag consists of a microchip containing pre-loaded data. The tags can take any shape and do not require a power source. Well, then how does it work? The answer is the scanning antenna contained in the RFID reader. The RFID readers can be attached to specific areas to scan any tag passing through that area or even take the form of a handheld device. The scanning antenna gives signal bursts regularly and the tags are activated when they come in contact with those radio signals thus "waking" up the chip in the RFID tag and the data is transmitted to the reader which decodes the data. Isn't it amazing how such a sophisticated sounding technology can seem so simple to understand and implement? Can you think of any other technology which has the potential to have as big an impact as RFID?



Face Recognition Technology


Face Recognition Technology




What is Face Recognition? As the name implies, it's referring to the most obvious human identifier which is - the face. The face is the most visible part of human anatomy and serves as the first distinguishing factor of a human being. It helps a person to distinguish an individual from the other. Each individual has his own uniqueness and this could be one of the most transparent and unique feature of a human being.



A practical application of knowledge is then used together with this process of identifying individuals. Related systems are developed as application of the face recognition concept. How does these system work? Developers came up with the design that is capable of extracting and picking up faces from the crowd and have it compared to an image source - database. The software has the ability to know how the basic human face looks like in order for it to work accordingly. Thus, developers designed these programs (by storing commands) to pinpoint a face and measure its features.

As study shows, each human face has specific distinguishable landmarks (or nodal points) that make up the different facial features. It has been known that there is a large number of nodal points on a human face(about 80) and these include the most commonly known - the distance between eyes, width of the nose, depthless of eye sockets, cheekbones, jaw line and chin.

There are different methods of facial recognition which involve a series of steps that serve to capturing, analyzing and comparing a face to a database of stored images. Some related software was designed to recognize similarities through pattern recognition. Pattern recognition is often used under the names of diagnosis and clarifications. Each of this software varies on how it is designed to work yet the function and concept is still the same that is - identifying on facial landmarks. Because of these, facial recognition is hard to fool since it compares specific proportions and angles of the defined facial features.

Career in cryptology


Career in cryptology

The name cryptography comes from the Greek words 'kryptos' which means hidden and 'graphia' which means writing. Avishek Adhikari, lecturer, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Calcutta, explains: "A cryptosystem or cipher system is a method of disguising messages so that only certain people can see through the disguise. Cryptography is the art of creating and using cryptosystems. Or simply put, it is the art of secret writing."

Cryptography can also be defined as the science of making messages illegible to unintended recipients. "There are actually two terms – cryptography and cryptanalysis. The latter consists of techniques for breaking cryptographic codes. Together it is called cryptology," clarifies Indranil Sen Gupta, head, Computer Science and Engineering and School of Information Technology, IIT-Kharagpur.

Cryptologists before the 80s were primarily depicted as spy agents involved in deciphering and configuring coded messages to gain momentum against enemy activities. However, with the upsurge of information technology and the increasing dependence on electronic data processing, the range of activities a cryptologist is involved in has expanded. The vast digital data that is stored and processed in large computer bases and transmitted through complex communication networks is susceptible to unauthorised interception and interpretation and hence, needs to

be protected through encrypted remote access or passwords. "Our commercial transactions (credit card numbers and bank data), our medical data (which may soon be stored on smart cards), mobile communication and other secret diplomatic information can be traced by hackers. To prevent such data theft, we need cryptographers to write stronger codes. In fact, currently, cryptography has broadened greatly from the study of secret writing to the study of information security," informs Adhikari.

The field also includes decoding patterns and symbols, integrity checks, authenticating digital signature and predicting the possibility of certain outcomes by preparing mathematical models. C E Veni Madhavan, Department of Computer Science and Automation, IISc-Bangalore, elaborates: "The work of a cryptologist includes designing and analysing various robust and strong algorithms, implementation of such algorithms on various platforms and interfaces to other input/output media." They can also analyse existing algorithms for weaknesses, solve known mathematical problems on which many cryptographic algorithms are based and find weaknesses and/ or patch vulnerabilities in existing implementations.

Cryptologists are in demand in the military forces, government agencies, technology companies, banking and financial organisations, law enforcement agencies, universities and research institutes. Depending on the profile of the organisation one is involved with, the area of functioning varies. Veni Madhavan points out, "Cryptologists can work with mathematical topics such as number theory, algebra, information theory, combinatorics, probability, etc and also computer science topics such as algorithms, hardware interfaces and other areas including image processing, complexity theory, and so on."

For instance, the cryptographers of banking companies try to make their systems secure so that all the transactions over the internet can be made safely. On the other hand, cryptographers in the defence arena or intelligence organisations will try to break codes transmitted between two suspected enemies.

So what does it take to enter this enchanting world of secret messages?

"It is primarily a research-based subject and hence a PhD in cryptography is the best possible solution. Alternatively, a master's degree in mathematics or computer science is also useful. It is however important to have excellent problem solving abilities, familiarity with mathematical and programming tools and some expertise in hacking," contends Adhikari.

Computer - Man's Best Friend
Some people hate going to offices anymore, doing presentations and reports to please their boss and struggling from 8m to 9pm inside the office. Now, people can make money online. This way of getting cash instantly is possible with the help of the computer.

What is the Process?

The process of getting money online is simple. The first thing that a person needs to do is to get a working computer. Then, he should familiarize himself with the computer. After that, he can start looking for affiliate programs in the internet and sign up with the best affiliate programs. These programs will help the person sell and refer products. Now that he or she has selected an affiliate program, then he could set up an online store. In the online store, he can put as many products as he can. But he should be very sure that the products in the online store are best-sellers in the internet or else he is wasting time.

Search for Products to Sell

There are a lot of products which can be sold in the online store. But then, the owner should think of the product he is going to sell million of times. The product may be a best-seller not in the internet but in the local stores. This might be a problem. There are specific products that are best-selling in the internet stores. Then, the owner should also think that the product he is selling should be within his interest. This way, he could sell the product easily because he has a lot of knowledge about it. Here are some products that are best selling online:

a) Digital Products- Examples of digital products are ebooks, software packages, etc. These products can be downloaded in the internet instantly. And the payment also goes in the bank account of the seller instantly. Thus, once the seller has closed the sale to the buyer, he can get his money in seconds. Payments are done online.

b) Flash Videos - Flash videos are in demand nowadays. Many people want to have flash videos that are of high quality. They do this for fun and entertainment. But the cost of flash videos is high. Even though, these people who are into flash videos would sacrifice large amount of money just to get one. For example, one video would cost 1500 to 2000 dollars. If the seller has a lot of flash video collection in his store, he could earn as much as 20000 dollars in one day. There is Master Resell Rights given to sellers of flash videos meaning, they could sell, resell and produce many copies of their flash videos. This means that they could earn more than 20000 in flash videos.

c) Travel Packages - Travel packages are usually given to promote a company- mostly, a traveling agency. Online business owners usually engage into giving out travel packages in a barter system. Meaning, there is no money involved. They will just get exchange travel packages with another product of the same value.

Biological psychology


In psychology, biological psychology, also known as biopsychology and psychobiology, is the application of the principles of biology to the study of mental processes and behavior. A psychobiologist, for instance, may compare the unfamiliarimprinting behavior in goslings to the early attachment behavior in human infants and construct theory around these two phenomena. Biological psychologists may often be interested in measuring some biological variable, e.g. an anatomical, physiological, or genetic variable, in an attempt to relate it quantitatively or qualitatively to a psychological or behavioral variable, and thus contribute to evidence based practice.
The study of biological psychology dates back to Avicenna (980-1037 A.D.), a Persian psychologist and physician who in The Canon of Medicine, recognized physiological psychology in the treatment of illnesses involving emotions, and developed a system for associating changes in the pulse rate with inner feelings, which is seen as an anticipation of the word association test. Avicenna also gave psychological explanations for certain somatic illnesses, and he always linked the physical and psychological illnesses together. He explained that humidity inside the head can contribute to mood disorders, and he recognized that this occurs when the amount of breath changes: happiness increases the breath, which leads to increased moisture inside the brain, but if this moisture goes beyond its limits, the brain would lose control over its rationality and lead to mental disorders.
Biological psychology as a scientific discipline later emerged from a variety of scientific and philosophical traditions in the 18th and 19th centuries. In philosophy, men like Rene Descartes proposed physical models to explain animal and human behavior. Descartes, for example, suggested that the pineal gland, a midline unpaired structure in the brain of many organisms, was the point of contact between mind and body. Descartes also elaborated on a theory in which the pneumatics of bodily fluids could explain reflexes and other motor behavior. This theory was inspired by moving statues in a garden in Paris.
Other philosophers also helped give birth to psychology. One of the earliest textbooks in the new field, The Principles of Psychology by William James (1890), argues that the scientific study of psychology should be grounded in an understanding of biology:

Losing Weight and Good Health

Losing Weight and Good Health

If you want to lose weight then knowing how many calories you eat and burn will be important. Here are some guidelines you can use.

The total calories that you should be consuming depend on whether you are a women or a man. It depends on your body structure and your activity level. So you need to make some adjustment on the numbers I present.

If you have been eating around 1800 calories per day you can slowly move your intake down to 1600. Work down from this level over a month's period to 1400 calories. Don't go below 1200 calories per day. Otherwise you can over stress your body.

If you have just started out and are eating 2400 calories, decrease your calories to 2000 or 2100. If you don't lose weight in 2-3 weeks reduce your calories lower. Over a month's time you can move down to 1600 calories and see if you start to lose weight. If you do, stay at this level.

It's not a good idea to make a drastic shift in your consumption of food since your body can react and get into a "starving mode." In this mode your body will store more fat making it difficult for you to lose weight.

Remember not to eat junk food. When you eat quality food, it takes less food for you to become satisfied as compared to eating junk food.

Protein, Carbohydrates, and Fat

There are many ideas about what combination or percentages you should eat of the various nutrients - protein, carbohydrates, and fat. I don't believe that exact percentages exist, which will provide weight loss and good health for all individuals. Each one of you will require different percentages depending on your weight, health, body structure, emotional make-up and a variety of other conditions. For this reason some diet programs work with some people and not with others.

One of best eating habit programs that will help you to lose weight is to eat:

* quality protein

* low glycemic carbohydrates

* quality fats

* high fiber

* high water consumption

Quality Protein - is essential for the body to survive. There 8 essential amino acids and 14 non-essential. Protein is used to regulate certain body processes by contributing to various chemical reactions and by creating a number of body chemicals.

Eating excess protein results in an acid body, which favors disease. Protein eaten alone causes a 25% increase in your metabolism. When combined with fat and carbohydrates there is only a 10% increase. What this means is that eating more protein and less fat and carbohydrates gives you a boost in metabolism.

It is recommended that around 30% - 35% of your eating habits consist of protein.

Carbohydrates - consist of simple and complex sugars. When carbohydrates are eaten they are broken down into sucrose, which is readily accepted by your cells. Sucrose is converted into energy in your cells. If you eat a lot of high glycemic carbohydrates, your bloodstream becomes overwhelm with sucrose. The excess sucrose in your cells will be converted to fat and stored.

Because most people have been adding weight eating high glycemic carbohydrates, it best to change your eating habits and decrease your intake of these carbohydrates. In general people have been eating 80% high glycemic foods (HighGF) and 20% low glycemic foods (LowGF.) You need to change that to 80% LowGF and 20% HighGF.

This means that you should limit eating foods like potatoes, bread, corn, pasta, muffins, and any flour products. HighGF encourages the storage of fat since the more sucrose you have in your blood, the more sucrose is escorted into your cells by insulin.

You need to concentrate on foods, which are LowGF. Many of these foods are vegetables with small amounts of carbohydrates and high fiber content.

LowGF discourages the storage of fat since less sucrose is in the blood and less is escorted into your cells.

Quality Fats - which are eaten with your meals, prevent sugars from moving quickly into your blood stream.

You need to eat more of the good fats. It's these fats that will help you lose weight. The good fats are omega 3, omega 6, and medium chain fatty acids, MCFA.

Here is the breakdown on the quantity of each type of fat that you should be eating. These percentages are what you should be working towards so that fats provide you with good health and help you keep your weight down.

* saturated fats 10%

* polyunsaturated fats 20%

* monounsaturated fats 60%

There you have it, the numbers and percentages of protein, carbohydrates, and fats that give you a balanced diet so that you can lose weight

Mineral and vitamin

Mineral and vitamin

Mineral and/or vitamin deficiency or excess may result in disease conditions such as goitre, scurvy, osteoporosis, impaired immune system, disorders of cell metabolism, certain forms of cancer, symptoms of premature aging, and poor psychological health (including eating disorders), among many others.
As of 2005, twelve vitamins and about the same number of minerals are recognized as "essential nutrients", meaning that they must be consumed and absorbed—or, in the case of vitamin D, alternatively synthesized in the skin via UVB radiation to prevent deficiency symptoms and possibly death. Certain vitamin-like substances found in foods, such as carnitine, have also been found essential to survival and health, but these are not strictly "essential" to eat because the human body can produce them from other compounds. Moreover, thousands of different phytochemicals have recently been discovered in food (particularly in fresh vegetables), which may have desirable properties including antioxidant activity (see below). Other essential nutrients include essential amino acids, choline and the essential fatty acids.

Importance Of Water

Importance Of Water

Water is one of the most important nutrients in your sports diet. It helps eliminate food waste products in your body, regulates body temperature during activity, helps digest, is involved in converting food into energy and helps lubricate joints.  

Athletes should drink as much water as they comfortably can. Maintaining hydration during periods of physical exertion is key to peak performance. While drinking too much water during activities can lead to physical discomfort, dehydration in excess of 2% of body mass (by weight) markedly hinders athletic performance.  Some studies have shown that an athlete that drinks before they feel thirsty stays cooler and performs better than one who drinks on thirst cues, although recent studies of such races as the Boston Marathon have indicated that this recommendation can lead to the problem of overhydration. Additional carbohydrates and protein before, during, and after exercise increase time to exhaustion as well as speed recovery. Dosage is based on work performed, lean body mass, and environmental factors, especially ambient temperature and humidity.
