Sodium is an electrolyte that controls the fluids in the body’s tissues and cells. It is also responsible for regulating blood pressure and volume‚ helping transmit impulses‚ and regulating the balance of blood and body fluids. I believe it is important to monitor your sodium intake in order to stay in good health. Kidneys are the most common concern when too much sodium is being taken in because it can lead to damage to the heart. When there is an excessive amount‚ the kidneys are unable to

“Abstinence Vs. Harm Reduction” “Drug policy regarding the control of the traditional illicit substances (opiates‚ cocaine‚ cannabis) is currently moving through upbeat times in almost all Western countries. Prohibition on the basis of repressive law enforcement not only seems to fail on a large scale‚ but also to create vast additional costs‚ problems‚ and harm for drug consumers‚ who often find themselves in extreme social‚ economic‚ and health conditions” (Fischer 1995: 389).

Delivering successful cost reduction programmes In the current economic climate‚ most organisations must face up to a prolonged period of extreme competition and funding restrictions. This is particularly the case if the past few years have been focused on growth‚ service improvement or reorganisation (i.e. cost efficiency has not been a recent priority). Such pressures require an approach that reduces costs in a strategic‚ disciplined‚ and sustainable manner - delivered at pace. In our view

How sodium chloride concentration affects the germination‚ growth and development of Brassica rapa. Osumi‚ K.‚ Nihei‚ B.‚ Takanishi‚ K.‚ Nakamura‚ C.‚ Warehime‚ R. Period 2. 03/05/17 Introduction: To have a successful germination‚ the plant seed needs a sufficient amount of water and oxygen present. Other conditions include room temperature‚ and the amount of light intake. Hydration of a seed‚ is an essential step for seed germination (Martínez-Andújar‚ 2014). Plants tend to germinate better in

Preparation of Sodium Chloride through titration Abstract: acid-base titration is a technique commonly used to determine the moles of acid in a sample by adding a known volume of strong base of a known concentration. The strong base provides the hydroxide ion‚ to react quantitatively with the acid. The point at which the acid is completely and exactly consumed the known quantity of base is called the equivalence end point and is signalled by a colour change in the solution (end point). This colour

Techniques for Prejudice Reduction Prejudice Reduction Prejudice reduction refers to a decrease in (most often) negative attitudes or evaluations that individuals hold in relation to other people. These negative attitudes are based on the groups to which people belong. Like a white person disliking another person just because he or she is black. The idea of prejudice reduction is linked with changing negative attitudes‚ the outward expressions of bias‚ or negative behaviors. Why should we reduce

Sodium is a metal from group 1 of the periodic table‚ this is a metal which reacts when it needs to‚ this metal has a low melting and boiling point‚ also it is very dense‚ this shows that when reacting with other substances it will be different and this is because it will not react the same the whole time. The other thing is that this elements electron configuration is 11 which is quite low when comparing them to the other elements in the periodic table. However this metal is more reactive than
