  Jargons and Registers are two different concepts in linguistics.  Jargons are specialized words or expressions that are used by a particular profession or group and are difficult for others to understand. Registers are varieties of language that are appropriate for different situations, contexts, or audiences. Registers can vary in vocabulary, grammar, phonology, and semantics, depending on the level of formality, purpose, and tone of the communication. Some examples of jargons are : Amicus curiae brief : a legal term for a document that provides information or arguments to a court by someone who is not directly involved in the case Hyperbole : a literary term for a figure of speech that exaggerates something for emphasis or effect. Photosynthesis : a scientific term for the process by which plants use light energy to make their own food. Some examples of registers are: Formal register : a style of language that is polite, respectful, and follows the rules of grammar and p...

Grief is a natural and normal response to loss, but it can also be hard and painful. It can affect every aspect of our lives and cause various reactions and symptoms. We may feel shock, denial, anger, guilt, sadness, depression, anxiety, fear, loneliness, numbness, confusion, disbelief, relief, acceptance, hope, gratitude, or growth. We may also experience physical symptoms such as fatigue, insomnia, appetite changes, headaches, muscle tension, chest pain, nausea, or weakened immunity. There is no one right way to grieve. Everyone grieves differently and at their own pace. However, there are some coping strategies that can help us through the grief process and support our healing and adaptation. Some of these strategies are:  Expressing our feelings in healthy ways. We can talk to someone we trust, write in a journal, create art or music, or cry when we need to. Expressing our emotions can help us release them and process them. Seeking comfort from our faith or spirituality. We c...

A utolysis is a term that refers to the self-digestion of cells or tissues by their own enzymes. It is a natural process that occurs in all living organisms, but it can also be induced artificially by various means, such as heat, chemicals, or radiation. Autolysis is important for many biological functions, such as the recycling of cellular components, the removal of damaged or unwanted cells, and the development of certain organs and structures. For example, autolysis plays a role in the formation of the fingers and toes in human embryos, by eliminating the webbing between them. Autolysis can also have negative consequences, such as the deterioration of food quality, the spoilage of wine and beer, and the decomposition of corpses. In some cases, autolysis can lead to pathological conditions, such as pancreatitis, liver failure, and brain edema. In this blog post, we will explore the mechanisms, applications, and implications of autolysis in more detail. We will also discuss some of th...

  Have you ever wondered why you cough when you boil palm oil? It's not just a coincidence or a sign of bad luck. There is actually a scientific explanation behind this phenomenon, and it involves enzymes. Enzymes are biological molecules that act as catalysts, speeding up chemical reactions in living organisms. They are essential for many processes in our bodies, such as digestion, metabolism, and immunity. However, some enzymes can also cause problems when they interact with certain substances in the environment. One of these enzymes is called lipase (tryosinases) . Lipase is responsible for breaking down fats into fatty acids and glycerol. It is found in many places, such as the pancreas, the saliva, and the palm oil itself. When palm oil is fresh, it contains a lot of lipase that helps preserve its quality and flavor. But when palm oil is heated, the lipase becomes unstable and starts to degrade the oil. This degradation produces free fatty acids, which lower the pH of the oil ...
