Fourth, one must determine the goal of the questioned and/or questionable behavior: while rivalry is motivated entirely or primarily by aspects of a childs self-interest in which the interests of others, including the childs rival, do not play a role, in scenarios featuring abuse, the perpetrators ultimate interests tend to include domination, humiliation, or at least embarrassment of the victim. Animals
Sibling rivalry is common among various animal species, in the form of competition for food and parental attention. An extreme type of sibling rivalry occurs when young animals kill their siblings. For example, a black eagle mother lays two eggs, and the first-hatched chick pecks the younger one to death within the first few days. In the blue-footed booby, there is always the emergence of a brood hierarchy. The dominant chick will attack the subordinate one in times of food scarcity, often pecking it repeatedly or driving it from the nest. Among spotted hyenas, sibling competition begins as soon as the second cub is born, and 25% of cubs are killed by their siblings.Sibling relationships in animals are not always competitive. For example, among wolves, older siblings help to feed and guard the young. Famous instances
In religion
The Book of Genesis in the Bible contains several examples of sibling rivalry: the story of Cain and Abel tells of one brothers jealousy after God appears to favour his sibling, and the jealousy ultimately leads to murder.
Pyuria is the condition of urine containing white blood cells or pus. Defined as the presence of 6-10 or more neutrophils per high power field of unspun, voided mid-stream urine, it can be a sign of a bacterial urinary tract infection. Pyuria may be present in people with sepsis, or in older people with pneumonia. Others additionally require discoloration, clouding or change in the smell of urine for a pyuria to be present. Without these additional features, there is said to be leukocyturia. Sterile pyuria is urine which contains white blood cells while appearing sterile by standard culturing techniques. It is often caused by sexually transmitted infections, such as gonorrhea, or viruses which will not grow in bacterial cultures. Sterile pyuria is listed as a side effect from some medications such as paracetamol (acetaminophen). Its occurrence is also associated with certain disease processes, such as Kawasaki disease and genitourinary tuberculosis. However, there are many known causes, including systemic or infectious disease, structural and physiological reasons, intrinsic kidney pathology, or drugs. Leukocyturia
Under normal conditions, fewer than two million leukocytes are expelled in urine per day. A number greater than two million is called leucocyturia and can be determined when determining the Addis count.However, this method requires a 24-hour urine collection, so it is not practical. Currently, the number of leukocytes is estimated under the microscope for which morning urine is taken.
