Please use the correct stock prices that correspond with the beginning and end of the companys fiscal year period (which may differ from the calendar year). Is your financial analysis consistent with this trend?

Compare and contrast two pictures. The artists Frida Kahlo and Leonora Carrington that will be available in the files. Within each image, what do you think the importance is exactly of the animal and how the women relate to it? Are these animals symbols,

The artists Frida Kahlo and Leonora Carrington were both Mexican born Surrealist painters. They moved in the same circles and both utilized imagery based on their dreams, nightmares and unconscious thoughts. Frida Kahlo’s work dealt specifically with illness and the fragility of the human body as she had been in a serious accident when she was young that left her in crippling pain for most of her life. Both women were supporters of women’s rights and Leonora Carrington was a founding member of the Women’s Liberation Movement in Mexico in the 1970s. How they represent women in their paintings is very different from other artists of the time. They sought to empower the image of women FOR women and By women, and their work reflects these passions. Below are two images, Kahlo’s famous painting entitled Self Portrait with Monkey, 1938 and Carrington’s Self Portrait (Inn of the Dawn Horse), 1937. In both images the women are seen interacting with an animal. Within each image, what do you think the importance is exactly of the animal and how the women relate to it? Are these animals symbols, and if so what of? Also, consider the environment into which the women are placed, interior verses exterior and is this significant in terms of understanding the deeper meaning of the works as a whole? Also, consider any symbols within the works, i.e. the necklace around Kahlo’s neck, the rocking horse behind Carrington’s head and the chair she sits on. Are these elements important? I enourage you all to do some research on these images and discuss in your own words. Must be 1000 words.

              Alzheimers disease (AD) is a type of dementia and although the risk of acquiring it increases with age, it is not part of normal aging. The exact etiology of AD is still being studied and currently there is no cure (Dlugasch & Story, 2021). What is commonly found however, is that in AD there tends to be an overproduction and/or decreased clearance of beta amyloid peptides (Dlugasch & Story, 2021). Additionally, three other pathologic characteristics, contributing to the atrophy and shrinking of the brain, for which occurs in AD, involving amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, and neuronal death (Dlugasch & Story, 2021). Amyloid plaques found in AD are made up of fragments of a protein called beta-amyloid peptide, mixed with other proteins, neuron remnants, and other nerve cell pieces (Dlugasch & Story, 2021). Neurofibrillary tangles, found inside neurons, also form in AD and are abnormal collections of clumps of a protein called tau (Dlugasch & Story, 2021). These clumps result in ineffective neurons, which fail and eventually die. A third AD finding involves a loss of connections amongst the neurons responsible for memory and learning; as a result to this lost, neurons cannot survive and also die (Dlugasch & Story, 2021). Thus, in diagnostic imaging studies, significant brain atrophy is found.

Furthermore, AD progresses slowly over a coarse of around 10-20 years, and can takeover a persons entire life; impairing their memory, reason, the ability to learn and even imagine, to various degrees in severity (Dlugasch & Story, 2021). Medications often prescribed in AD settings also do not cure or slow the progression of disease, but are helpful in managing symptoms and maximizing ones functionality (Dlugasch & Story, 2021). Common medications prescribed include cholinesterase inhibitors to improve neurotransmitter levels in the brain,
Memantine (Namenda) which blocks NMDA acid receptors or glutamate receptors, b-complex vitamins, ginkgo, and huperzine (Dlugasch & Story, 2021).
