What is Amoebiasis? Name its pathogen and describe the symptoms of the disease. 

Answer»

Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan parasite in the large intestine of human which causes amoebiasis(amoebic dysentery). 

Symptoms of this disease include constipation, abdominal pain and cramps, stools with excess mucous and blood clots. 

Houseflies act as mechanical carriers and serve to transmit the parasite from faeces of infected person to food and food products, thereby contaminating them. Drinking water and food contaminated by the faecal matter are the main source of infection.

12.

Write the importance of records in historiography.

Answer»

Historical records are definitely important. They have high value and are remarkably important because they provide knowledge and information about the past and help in understanding people who lived in the past. They make us understand why we are living the way we are living now and how we lived in ancient times.

Importance of records in history writing:

  • Excellent historical writing is logical, well-defined, detailed and engaging.
  • Once they have concluded their research, the most qualified historians can create a compelling anecdote that delivers a feeling of the evidence.
  • Writing is both a necessary part of the education process and one of the most powerful ways that historians express their thoughts and summing-up to one another.
  • The action of writing forces you to bring your experience of a subject and other data that is accessible to you on that topic and assemble it all into a comprehensible and brief portrayal.

Explain generation of computer in detail.

Answer»
  • First Generation Computers (1940-1956)
  • Second Generation Computers (1956-1963)
  • Third Generation Computers (1964-1971)
  • Fourth Generation Computers (1971-Present)
  • Fifth Generation Computers (Present and Beyond)

First Generation Computers: Vacuum Tubes (1940-1956)

The technology behind the primary generation computers was a fragile glass device, which was called vacuum tubes. These computers were very heavy and really large in size. These weren’t very reliable and programming on them was a really tedious task as they used high-level programming language and used no OS. First-generation computers were used for calculation, storage, and control purpose. They were too bulky and large that they needed a full room and consume rot of electricity.

Main first generation computers are:

  • ENIAC: Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer, built by J. Presper Eckert and John V. Mauchly was a general-purpose computer. It had been very heavy, large, and contained 18,000 vacuum tubes.
  • EDVAC: Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer was designed by von Neumann. It could store data also as instruction and thus the speed was enhanced.
  • UNIVAC: Universal Automatic Computer was developed in 1952 by Eckert and Mauchly.

Second Generation Computers: Transistors (1956-1963)

Second-generation computers used the technology of transistors rather than bulky vacuum tubes. Another feature was the core storage. A transistor may be a device composed of semiconductor material that amplifies a sign or opens or closes a circuit.

Transistors were invented in Bell Labs. The use of transistors made it possible to perform powerfully and with due speed. It reduced the dimensions and price and thankfully the warmth too, which was generated by vacuum tubes. Central Processing Unit (CPU), memory, programming language and input, and output units also came into the force within the second  generation.

Programming language was shifted from high level to programming language and made programming comparatively a simple task for programmers. Languages used for programming during this era were FORTRAN (1956), ALGOL (1958), and COBOL (1959).

Third Generation Computers: Integrated Circuits. (1964-1971)

During the third generation, technology envisaged a shift from huge transistors to integrated circuits, also referred to as IC. Here a variety of transistors were placed on silicon chips, called semiconductors. The most feature of this era’s computer was the speed and reliability. IC was made from silicon and also called silicon chips.

A single IC, has many transistors, registers, and capacitors built on one thin slice of silicon. The value size was reduced and memory space and dealing efficiency were increased during this generation. Programming was now wiped out Higher level languages like BASIC (Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code). Minicomputers find their shape during this era.

Fourth Generation Computers: Micro-processors (1971-Present)

In 1971 First microprocessors were used, the large scale of integration LSI circuits built on one chip called microprocessors. The most advantage of this technology is that one microprocessor can contain all the circuits required to perform arithmetic, logic, and control functions on one chip.

The computers using microchips were called microcomputers. This generation provided the even smaller size of computers, with larger capacities. That’s not enough, then Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits replaced LSI circuits. The Intel 4004chip, developed in 1971, located all the components of the pc from the central processing unit and memory to input/ output controls on one chip and allowed the dimensions to reduce drastically.

Technologies like multiprocessing, multiprogramming, time-sharing, operating speed, and virtual memory made it a more user-friendly and customary device. The concept of private computers and computer networks came into being within the fourth generation.

Fifth Generation Computers

The technology behind the fifth generation of computers is AI. It allows computers to behave like humans. It is often seen in programs like voice recognition, area of medicines, and entertainment. Within the field of games playing also it’s shown remarkable performance where computers are capable of beating human competitors.

The speed is highest, size is that the smallest and area of use has remarkably increased within the fifth generation computers. Though not a hundred percent AI has been achieved to date but keeping in sight the present developments, it is often said that this dream also will become a reality very soon.

In order to summarize the features of varied generations of computers, it is often said that a big improvement has been seen as far because the speed and accuracy of functioning care, but if we mention the dimensions, it’s being small over the years. The value is additionally diminishing and reliability is in fact increasing.

Write a short note on-Identity formation happens from childhood.

Answer»

Parents and those who work with them may not always realize how early children begin developing a sense of differences based on race, culture and language. The process of forming an identity begins at birth, as children absorb who they are from those around them. In the first few hours they can tell one smell from another, one voice from another---and they prefer their mother’s. Attachment is part of the process of identity formation. As infants grow emotionally close to certain people, they associate them with how those people smell, touch, sound, and are able to recognize their “special people” early on. 

After several months, children come to distinguish “strangers.” In the process, babies become astute observers of differences and similarities. When infants engage with others, they receive messages about who they are from others’ reactions. They develop their sense of being valued and being cared for from those interactions. They begin to imitate and later identify with others in their lives. 

In diverse families and communities, children come to expect a degree of variation in how people look, feel and sound, viewing such variation as normal. They understand their world is comprised of both high and deep voices, dark skins and light ones. Children spending their early years in more homogeneous families and communities come to associate the human face, voice and touch with a particular skin color or tone. 

There is plenty of anecdotal evidence of very young children reacting to racial differences when they first encounter them. For example, Robin arrived from Hong Kong at 23 months of age. She showed no anxiety around Asian or white people, in the airport or at home. But when she first met her African American doctor, her eyes opened wide with shock. It seemed that this was the first Black person Robin had seen in her life.

GST is a target based consumption line. Different tax rates are set for various types of goods and services, some products are cheap and some are expensive.GST is an additional tax and is issued to any of the taxes on the goods purchased in order to be distributed at all points in the supply chain. At least the limited exceptions apply to both products and services in a comprehensive manner.GST will not be a fee for registered retailers, so there will be no hidden taxes; the cost of the business is low. This will help export more competition.Nearly all of the initiations work online, and if you do so, register your business under GST.The reason is that the online operators are based on the revenue file, the GST. You need to register below.If you are working offline, if your annual turover is higher than IL 12L, you will be registered under GST.No, it is not necessary to register for GST for every start. There is no need for 20 million dollars in revenue to enter GST. In the North East, this limit is 10 lakhs.You do not need a GST technically until your business is up to 20L, and your business partners and vendors may request it for accounting purposes. You can make an office purchase in the name of your initial GST number and receive tax benefits.Each state is interconnected with each other. The transfer of goods and services increases the transaction that increases the revenue of each state through GST.It is called the composition scheme. This will bring respite from tax burdens to newly established businesses.

Study the picture given below. Write a description or an account of what the picture suggest to you in a paragraph:

Answer»

The above picture shows the present situation. To balance the environment both plants and animals are necessary. Now-a-days number of plants (trees) are decreasing and on the other hand the animal including human population is increasing in the alarming way. If forests are destroyed, no rainfall at all even the plants are not there, how do we get oxygen which is necessary for our existance. No climate at all. If plants are not exist how do we get food, this is-also our basic need. Therefore no forest means no life on the earth. So all of us beware of forest. We should conserve forest.
