Etiology

 Etiology  Etiology is the study of the causes, origins, or reasons behind the way that things are, or the way they function, or it can refer to the causes themselves. The word is commonly used in medicine (pertaining to causes of disease) and in philosophy, but also in physics, biology, psychology, government, geography, spatial analysis, and theology in reference to the causes or origins of various phenomena. In the past, when many physical phenomena were not well understood or when histories were not recorded, myths often arose to provide etiologies. Thus, an etiological myth, or origin myth, is a myth that has arisen, been told over time, or written to explain the origins of various social or natural phenomena. For example, Virgil's  Aeneid  is a national myth written to explain and glorify the origins of the Roman Empire. In theology, many religions have creation myths explaining the origins of the world or its relationship to believers. In medicine, the etiology of an illness

Neoplastic disorder Image of Neoplastic disorder Neoplastic disorders are diseases that involve abnormal growths of cells or tissues .  They can be either malignant (cancerous) or benign (non-cancerous) .  Malignant neoplasms can be classified into five main types, depending on the origin of the cells or tissues: carcinomas, sarcomas, myelomas, leukemias, and lymphomas . Neoplastic disorders can affect various parts of the body and cause different symptoms and complications. The diagnosis of neoplastic disorders involves a thorough examination of the patient’s medical history, physical examination, and blood tests. Further tests such as imaging and electrophysiology are ordered based on the symptoms and findings. Antibody tests are conducted to look for paraneoplastic antibodies in the blood, and hormone tests are performed to measure the levels of hormones such as cortisol, antidiuretic hormone, and parathyroid hormone, depending on the condition. Other tests used to diagnose neoplast

Theology - the study of nature of divine

Theology  Theology is the systematic study of the nature of the divine, or more broadly of religious belief. It is taught as an academic discipline, typically in universities and seminaries.  It occupies itself with the unique content of analyzing the supernatural, but also deals with religious epistemology, asks and seeks to answer the question of revelation.  Revelation pertains to the acceptance of   God ,   gods , or   deities , as not only transcendent or above the natural world but also willing and able to interact with the natural world and to reveal themselves to humankind. Theologians use various forms of analysis and argument (experiential, philosophical, ethnographic, historical, and others) to help understand, explain, test, critique, defend or promote any myriad of religious topics.  As in the philosophy of ethics and case law, arguments often assume the existence of previously resolved questions and develop by making analogies from them to draw new inferences in new situa

Story THE MYTHICAL FOUNTAIN An elderly man and his wife lived in the highlands a very long time ago. The elderly couple both performed housework; the old man was a woodcutter. They have been together for many a happy year. Sadly, they never produced any offspring. They feared that as they grew older, death would divide them. The older man visited the forest one day to gather some wood. However, he became lost in the forest. He spent many hours looking for the route, growing weary and dehydrated. He soon came across a spring in the woods and drank the water right away. He was startled to see his reflection. He was shocked to find himself young once more. He appeared to be a young man about twenty. He understood that he had discovered the fountain of youth. He immediately ran to report what had transpired. His wife instantly failed to identify him. I feel youthful again, the old guy exclaimed. When his wife saw him, she was incredibly shocked. She inquired, "Where is the spring? I

Mythological stories and definition

MYTHOLOGY   A mythology is  a collection of myths or stories about a specific person, culture, religion, or any group with shared beliefs . Most people don't consider mythology to be entirely true, but they still take it seriously.  There are four basic theories of myth. Those theories are  the rational myth theory, functional myth theory, structural myth theory, and psychological myth theory .  The rational myth theory states that myths were created to explain natural events and forces.  The word myth  derives from the Greek mythos, which has a range of meanings from “word,” through “saying” and “story,” to “fiction” ; the unquestioned validity of mythos can be contrasted with logos, the word whose validity or truth can be argued and demonstrated.  Myths are stories that are based on tradition.  Some may have factual origins, while others are completely fictional . But myths are more than mere stories and they serve a more profound purpose in ancient and modern cultures.   The ear

What is Ecology, Types of Ecology and Importance of Ecology

What is Ecology? Ecology is a branch of science, including human science, population, community, ecosystem, and biosphere. Ecology is the study of organisms, the environment, and how the organisms interact with each other and their environment. It is studied at various levels, such as organisms, populations, communities, biosphere, and ecosystems. An ecologist’s primary goal is to improve their understanding of life processes,  adaptations and habitats , interactions, and biodiversity of organisms.  If the ecology in an area is unhealthy, or worse, dies because there are no living organisms in the area, the environment will change to make it inhospitable for many other organisms to survive there. The easiest way to look at it is that animals shape the plants, and the planets shape the landscape. Without animals, certain plants would grow unchecked, out-competing other plants. If the plants that grow unchecked don’t include enough plants with roots, the soil will be vulnerable to erosio
