Answer:

DEVELOPMENTAL NORMS. Developmental norms are defined as standards by which the progress of a child's development can be measured.

What common virulence factors are found in Neisseria?

HACTEHA [7]

The common virulence factors found in Neisseria are polysaccharide capsule, endotoxin, IgA1 protease, pili, and proteins.

Explanation:

Neisseria species are Gram negative diplococcic highly pathogenic bacteria which cause meningococcal and gonococcal diseases in humans.

Virulence factors of Neisseria meningitidis:

Polysaccharide capsule: Antigenic anti-phagocytic capsular polysaccharides form a capsule and surround the bacterium. About 13 serotypes are present based on which the bacteria is classified.

Endotoxin: Composed of lipooligosaccharides leading to hemorrhage, sepsis, and petechiae on skin

IgA1 protease: Enzyme that breaks and cleaves the antibody IgA

Pili: Attaches bacterium to respiratory tract cells. Acts antigenic against the body’s immune system.

Diseases: Meningococcal - Meningitis, meningococcemia

Transmission: Respiratory tract

Virulence factors of Neisseria gonorrhea :

Pili: Complex gene codes for hypervariable genomes and antigenic against antibodies

Protein porins of outer membrane: Two protein complexes – Por A and Por B – facilitates invasion of epithelial cells

Opaproteins – facilitates attachment and further invasion of epithelial cells.

Diseases : Gonococcal – epididymitis, prostitis etc in men and pelvic inflammatory disease in women

Which example best illustrates the maintenance stage of behavior change?

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Joel tries to go running with his friend Sam at least once a week, but hopes to start running more.

Explanation:

The question above is related to "The Stages of Change."

First Stage: Precontemplation

Second Stage: Contemplation

Third Stage: Determination

Fourth Stage: Action

Fifth Stage: Maintenance

Sixth Stage: Recurrence

The behavior showing maintenance is on the fifth stage. The person in this scenario has already achieved his goal to change. All he/she has to do is to maintain the behavior by developing the new skill. 

Among the choices above, it is only Joel who is showing such behavior because he is trying to develop his newfound skill of running by anticipating to run more in the future. This will allow him to prevent the occurrence of "relapse." It was also stated that he's already been running once a week with his friend, which means he has finally incorporated the change into his life.
