How can we provide such high quality?

  • We use an extremely selective recruitment process. All our editors have exceptional skills and substantial industry experience, and the majority are academic subject specialists with PhDs and strong publication records.
  • This selectiveness, combined with our rigorous ongoing training and professional development, quality control checks and proven, specially designed editing method, guarantees superb consistency that cannot be achieved using freelance editors.
  • This means that, unlike individual freelancers or editors from ordinary companies, our editors can—without compromising quality or consistency—work together on large or urgent projects and cover for each other when necessary, safeguarding you against missed deadlines.

A year- old boy presented with complain of abdominal pain . The given case report illustrates a case of anaemia that, after investigation, was found to be a case of sickle-cell anaemia. Many investigations of blood were undertaken, including a complete blood count, haemoglobin electrophoresis test and blood film examination. These initial investigations showed, a decline in haemoglobin count, red blood cell (RBC) count and haematocrit, and an increase in mean cell haemoglobin and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration levels were found to be increased. (But, MCV) was in the normal ranges according to the test report. Red blood cells (RBC) not only appeared a less number but they also exhibited anisochromasia,their shape was abnormal, they appeared sickle shaped and boat shaped appearance, with polychromasia. The first diagnosiswhich came up revealed anaemia, but the differential diagnosis also includes sickle-cell/β thalassemia and sicklecell/ haemoglobin C disease. In this case history, clinical examination and the case presentation delivered a great deal of knowledge in diagnosing the disease. When the investigations were carried out in detail it showed strongly positive result with sick.

Contemporary feminist political economy and feminism as a sphere of analysis emerged through the women’s movement in the 1970’s. Feminist political economy is concerned with bringing women’s economic role and contributions to the fore. This was necessary as the two dominant theories—neoclassical economics and Marxian political economy—were seen as unable to provide a framework to consider how gender relates to the economy (Tong, 2009: 116). This short paper will outline why neoclassical economics continues to be incompatible with feminist political economy analyses. It will be argued that feminist political economy is not incompatible with Marxian political economy.
