Should Marijuana Be legal for Medicinal Purpose?

Drug addiction is something societies all over the world rarely tolerate.
Although almost every culture has a tradition of narcotic substances like
alcohol, in the first turn not all of them are acceptable. A person saying, “A glass
of beer after a long working day is my small weakness”, we know it looks
normal, but it has a huge meaning.
Double standards are not narcotics, are a taboo and still there are
several kinds of drugs that societies turn a blind eye to: tabacco, the alcohol
and marijuana. The later is illegal in many countries but people’s attitude to it
is rather benevolent more than to any other drugs. Besides, there has been
issues and studies that marijuana is not only for relaxing but for recreational
drugs and that in some cases, it can be used for medical purposes. The internet
and our present society has many controversial studies, either claiming that
marijuana is a bliss and should be legalized everywhere or starting directly the
opposite. And although total legalization of marijuana might not be the best
choice, there are reasons to believe that in medicine, this drug that has been
stated can be used rather effectively. Medical marijuana can cure various
inflammations like treating chronic pain, arthritis, patients with neurological
disorders like multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injuries would appreciate weed
for its painkilling effect. Recent studies about medical marijuana states that
marijuana can help person with human immunodeficiency virus or HIV and
people with acquired immune deficiency syndrome or AIDS which may cure
that said virus for a certain person or individual.
In the case of marijuana, there might be exceptions given that it is
prescribed for medical purpose and under the control of a certain physician.
This kind of a drugs can help a lot of people to ease pain and eliminate the
symptoms of a certain illness but if we overused the usage of marijuana it can
be a killer in our life.

Genetics of Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is rare and grave mental illness, it accounts for less

than one patient of mental illness. The disease is symptomatically associated
with delusions and constant hallucinations, typically the onset of this disease is
in the early twenties and despite therapy and medication, its symptoms persist
throughout the rest of adult life. Despite the generalized assumption that
mental illness such as schizophrenia have a genetic basis and has intricate
studies of the relationship between mutation, genes and diseases which may
be supported by the technological advancements that have a done to validate
the schizophrenia assumption.
Through the years of study and research into genetics of
schizophrenia, there are elucidating factors trigger this mental illness, some of
these reports revealed the incredible complexity of the disease. A number of
studies has been established that schizophrenia illness is inherited, thereby
revealing that genes play a role on its onset, however this heritability factor is
only or may be applicable to minority of those who suffer from the disease
stated, as the larger majority does not have a family history of schizophrenia
based on the study of Annabel Bligh reports and recent study on the genetics
of schizophrenia involved blood sampling of seven thousand swedes and
Bulgarians. These samples were there after examined and compared based on
those and without schizophrenia.
Even though it had been asserts that research findings are
applicable to only five percent of the overall cases of schizophrenia, implying
that the cases are still mysterious. The implication is genetic factors only that
account for a small portion of the cases of the disease and the vast majority of
them remain unexplained.

A Concrete made with Fine and Coarse Aggregates

The intense use of aggregates in construction is very important in

environmental concern. In the region of Aquitaine like in Asia, Europe and other
part of the continent the availability of aggregates becomes a serious problem.
To reduce the use of natural aggregates for natural resources and energy
preservation, the use of recycled aggregates in concrete is an interesting
solution.
Numerous studies show that the potential of recycling aggregates such
as ceramics, rubber, glass and demolition waste like bricks and concrete. Due
to the high amount of concrete from demolition wastes those materials was
used to become a substitute for natural aggregates. However, this aggregates
are highly porous and certain a high amount of impurities that based on
different studies that had been conducted it can be a potential used for fresh
aggregates wash or FCW. These aggregates are mainly composed of
overordered fresh concrete, which has an advantage of his waste is that it
contains limited amount of impurities in comparison with other reduced
aggregates. This kind of aggregates is every day used as a concrete batching
plant which receives from several construction sites which had a huge amount
of overordered fresh concrete. Recycling this material is one of the particular
way that can be made, because it uses can considerably reduce the problem of
waste storage and simultaneously helps in the preservation of natural
aggregate resources.
In this conclusion of concrete made with fine coarse aggregates, I
realize that water absorption of the recycled fine and coarse aggregates with
fresh concrete waste which is higher than the natural aggregates which is
measured coefficient is 4.3 % and 13% for coarse and fine aggregates.

Advancements in Concrete Technology

The used of cementing materials dates to several hundreds of years ago, the
ancient Egyptians used claimed impure gypsum to grout the space between
huge rocks of stone in pyramid. The Greek and Romans used to claim limestone
and later learned to add lime and water, sand and crushed stone or brick and
broken tiles and it is the first concrete in history.

Lime mortar does not harden under water, and for construction
under water the romans ground together limes and a volcanic ash or finely
ground burnt clay tiles. The roman builders used volcanic stuff found in the near
the Pozzuoli near the village of Vesuvius in Italy. This volcanic stuff or ash mostly
siliceous in nature which had been acquired the name pozzolonia, having nearly
the same composition as that of volcanic stuff or ash found at Pozzuoli; where
some structures in which masonry was bonded by mortar, such the coliseum in
Rome and the Pont Du Gard near Nimes with the cementation materials still
hard and firm. Concrete is comprised of Portland cement, fine aggregates,
coarse aggregates, water, pozzolans and air. Portland cement was a product of
resembled building stone from the isle of Portland and off the British coast.
Portland cement is made by grinding a calcareous material such as limestone
or shell with an argillaceous (clayish) material such as clay. Shaker blast fumace
stag when a cement is mixed with water resultant product referred as paste.
This is if substance that binds all other ingredients together.
Significant advances have been made in concrete technology during the
last fifty years and has been highlighted with some significant advancements in
technologies that affect on the design and preservation of infrastructure. As all
modern technologies, advancing the concept of long life pavements and many
innovations that have been incorporated in the routine practice of civil
engineering.
