Pentavalent vaccine = 5-in-1 vaccine protecting against:
- Diphtheria
- Tetanus
- Pertussis (whooping cough)
- Hep B (Hepatitis B)
- Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b)
Contraindications: Previous anaphylaxis to vaccine component, progressive neurological disorder (for pertussis component), severe febrile illness (defer, not contraindicate).
Cold chain: Pentavalent stored at \(2{-}8ยฐC\); never frozen (freeze-sensitive).
The textbook classifies human communication into two broad types:
- Intra-personal communication: “The part of communication in which self of a human being is involved only and the communication is confined to one human entity. This means that all the elements which come into action in a given piece of communication are located within the self of an individual. A message originating from source part of the brain travels through the channel of nerves to reach another location, however close it may be to the point of origin.” Examples: thinking, reasoning, meditation, monologue, and dreaming.
- Inter-personal communication: Involves two or more individuals, and is further classified into interpersonal (one-to-one), group communication, organisational communication, and mass communication.
The key distinguishing criterion is that in intra-personal communication, all elements โ source, encoder, channel, decoder, and receiver โ exist within the same person. No external communication partner is required.
Homolytic fission of the CโH bond in an alkane produces:
Homolytic bond cleavage: each atom takes one electron, forming free radicals (e.g., methyl radical โขCHโ). Heterolytic fission gives carbocations or carbanions.
The textbook states: “The Lumiรจre Brothers of France exhibited their short films in December 1895 at Grande Cafe, Paris.” This is widely recognised as the world's first public commercial film screening. Key film history milestones to distinguish:
- 1877: Eadweard Muybridge's sequential photos of a horse (establishing the optical principles)
- 1889: Thomas Edison developed the Kinetograph camera and Kinetoscope (peepshow viewer โ for one person at a time)
- 1893: Kinetoscope marketed in penny arcades (NOT a public projection)
- December 1895: Lumiรจre Brothers' Cinรฉmatographe first public screening, Grand Cafรฉ, Paris (the true birth of cinema as a group experience)
- 1896: Lumiรจres brought films to India (Watson Hotel, Bombay, 7 July 1896)
- 1905: First movie theatre (nickelodeon) opened in Pittsburgh
The distinction between Edison's individual-viewer Kinetoscope and the Lumiรจres' projected Cinรฉmatographe is crucial: only the latter created cinema as a shared social experience.
- The diameter of the dispersed particles is not much smaller than the wavelength of light used.
- The refractive indices of the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium differ greatly in magnitude.
The textbook describes two main types of newspaper advertising:
- Classified Advertisements: Brief, text-only ads, usually confined to a single column. They are the simplest form of print advertising โ historically used for job vacancies, property rentals, for-sale items, personal notices, and service listings. The term “classified” comes from their organisation into categories (jobs, real estate, vehicles, etc.).
- Display Advertisements: Larger, visually designed ads that can span multiple columns. They include graphics, logos, photographs, colour, and creative layouts designed to attract attention. Display ads are the dominant format for branding and promotional campaigns. The first multi-column display ads in the U.S. were used to promote transcontinental railroad bonds in the 1860s.
The textbook notes that newspapers typically charge display ads in advance, but advertising agencies are given 90-day credit terms. Premium placement (front page, specific positions) can cost up to 400% more than standard rates.
