1. Use lecture, Empires, Citizens, lecture, and Your Death Would be Mine to describe how the Great War affected those on the home front who never saw battle. Describe, using specific examples, how war changed and complicated their daily lives. Did the war have any positive as well as negative outcomes for them?
2. Use the lecture, Oxford Illustrated’s essay by Modris Eksteins, and the films shown in class, specifically All Quiet and Battalion, to discuss specific memory cultures that developed around World War I. Use examples to illustrate general tendencies of war memories and also address how these memories differed between different countries. How were American memories different from Russian, German or East European ones? How might middle-class memories have differed from working class memories (be careful not to generalize but to find specific examples here).
3. Using lecture, Lenin, Yashka, lectures, and other relevant materials, describe forms of dissent, opposition, protest, and resistance to engaging in or continuing or participating in the Great War. For which reasons did soldiers, civilians, countries, political parties, and politicians oppose the war and what forms did their resistance take?
4. Use Empires, Citizens, The Versailles Treaty, and Oxford Illustrated’s essay on Versailles to discuss the political consequences of World War I in Europe, on Germany and elsewhere.
The Great War changed gender roles, art, military technology and the use of it, politics in Europe, Russia and the United States, class relations, geography just to mention a few areas. Which area did you find to be the most important changed by this war? Briefly motivate your answer in 2-3 sentences.
The home front during the World War I refers to life in Britain during the war itself. The home front saw a massive change in the role of women, rationing, the bombing of parts of Britain by the Germans (the first time civilians were targeted in war), conscientious objectors and strikes by discontented workers. The whole nation was under the jurisdiction of DORA (Defense of the Realm Act). One of the main ways the war affected civilians was a shortage of food. Agriculture felt the strain of war; production declined and prices rose. The war led to inflation and many poorer families could not afford the increase in food prices. The impact of the German U-boat campaign also led to food shortages and this hit home when rationing was brought in by the government in February 1918.
Horsetail is a weird looking kind of plant with crawling, string like rootstock and roots at the hubs that produce various empty stems. Phytochemically, the plant is found to have a wide exhibit of optional metabolites which add to the restorative properties of the plant.
The plant Equisetum arvense is a people medication and its concentrate is utilized locally to treat tuberculosis, edema, kidney and bladder stones, urinary plot diseases, incontinence, sharpness and dyspepsia, ulcers and wounds, draining and so on. Reports are accessible with respect to its mitigating, antinociceptive (Monte Do et al., 2004), cancer prevention agent and antiproliferative (Dragana et al., 2010), antimicrobial (Fathi et al., 2004), hepatoprotective (Gracious et al., 2004), antidiabetic (Safiyeh et al., 2007), coagulant and astringent properties (Clute, 1928). Horsetail is for the most part utilized as a diuretic (Jung et al., 1999). The antiquated Greeks involved horsetail in the treatment of wounds.
Mutagenicity/antimutagenicity measures have been utilized to distinguish potential antimutagens and anticarcinogens giving open doors to the improvement of new medications to be utilized in the avoidance and treatment of neoplasies (Gebhart, 1992). Among the bioassays to evaluate DNA harm in mammalian cells in vivo, the chromosomal variation test is a compelling momentary measure in light of the fact that the occurance of the chromosomal distortions is one of the main natural result of openness of an organic entity to the genotoxic specialist. In vivo mammalian chromosomal abnormality test has been effectively utilized for the identification of primary deviations actuated by the test substance in the bone marrow cells of creatures, normally rodents (Preston et al., 1987; Amer et al., 2002; Patlolla and Tchounwou, 2005). The benefits of the CA examine are connected with the phone by cell approach, an exact recognizable proof of all the different chromosome transformation types, a potential co-recognition of mitotic files and the semi mechanized scoring by picture investigation.
In late many years, upgrades in malignant growth treatment have decisively expanded the endurance rates among patients (UNSCEAR, 2000). In any case, the therapies like radiotherapy and chemotherapy are possibly genotoxic and mutagenic which can prompt the improvement of auxiliary, therapy related conditions, including further tumors, as well as incline survivors toward different non-dangerous sicknesses that can frequently appear in the posterity (Glades et al., 2009). Present chemotherapy malignant growth medicines have ended up being insufficient because of their harmfulness as well as for the cells creating obstruction (Mc Whirter et al., 1996). Concentrates on carried on mice have likewise demonstrated the way that openness to anticancer medications can result in transgenerational genomic flimsiness (Glen and Dubrova, 2012). Chemotherapy malignant growth treatment cases include perpetual utilization of antineoplastic specialists which kill neoplastic tissue as they are harmful to quickly multiplying cells. Anyway simultaneously, they can harm ordinary multiplying cells too. This brings down their helpful file. Subsequently long haul utilization of these antineoplastic specialists has turned into a subject of expanding concern (Arif et al., 2009).
In excess of 100 chemotherapy drugs are utilized in disease treatment, either alone or in mix with different medications or medicines. One such medication is Cyclophosphamide. Cyclophosphamide (CPA) which has a place with the class of oxazaphosphorines is an alkylating specialist. It had been recorded as one of the best chemotherapy drugs on the World Wellbeing Associations Rundown of Fundamental Medications. Cyclophosphamide has stamped immunosuppressant properties against both humoral and cell resistance due to which it has been broadly used to treat various youth and grown-up malignancies (Thomson
