Appropriateness for Dx: This tool is meant for
screening of individuals with social phobia and
assignment of a severity score (Connor et al., 2000). The tool
was created in congruence with DSM-4 but is consistent with
the DSM-5 diagnosis of social anxiety disorder, minus some
minor changes (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service
Administration [SAMHSA], 2016). Although the study is
outdated, Duke University School of Medicine (2020)
acknowledges that the tool is still relevant and utilized by their
Anxiety and Traumatic Stress Program.
Response to Therapy/Treatment: The SPIN is appropriate for
testing treatment response and through studies has proven
sensitive to symptom changes over time. Changes in scores are
able to determine treatment efficiency (Connor et al., 2000).
Psychometrics: The tool is self-administered and consists of 17
separate statements regarding problems a patient may exhibit if
they have social phobia. The statement is then rated on how
much it has bothered the individual in the last week, from ‘not

clinically significant. In the study, the assessment tool was able
to effectively separate individuals with and without social
phobia. Validity is strong in regard to detecting the severity of
illness and is sensitive to symptom reductions during treatment.
The scale shows significant correlation with the Liebowitz

Assignment: Read a selection of your colleagues' responses. Respond to at least two of your colleagues by comparing your assessment tool to theirs. APA Format with at least two references in each responses no more than five years old Response Post #1 Main Post - Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale Week 2 Discussion - Assessment and Diagnosis in Psychotherapy Main Post Assessment Tools It is paramount as health care professionals to be skillful in assessing clients to be able to diagnose, plan, and produce optimal care yielding full or partial recovery of the clients. Various assessment and measuring tools are available for mental health providers to help measure illness, diagnose clients, and measure a client’s response to treatment that will help supplement data obtained from the clinical interview. Though assessments usually span the entire treatment cycle, a thoughtfully constructed initial intake meeting can be a great tool to establish and reinforce the required therapeutic alliances between client and therapist, provide reassurance, ease anxiety, and enhance information gathering process required for an accurate diagnosis and suitable treatment plan (Wheeler, 2014). Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale The Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) was developed in the sixties. It is still one of the most popular behavioral rating scales/instruments use today by clinicians to quickly gather information about the possible presence and severity of various psychiatric symptoms and to assess changes in symptoms in response to medications (Zanello et al., 2013). Originally, the BPRS was a 16-item scale, it was later extended to the standard 18-item version and currently expanded to a 24-item scale to measure additional aspects of schizophrenia symptoms thereby increasing its sensitivity to psychotic and affective disorders and to be used for patients living in the community (Shafer et al., 2017). The 18-item BPRS assess the following symptoms: somatic concern, anxiety, emotional withdrawal, conceptual disorganization, guilt feelings, tension, mannerisms and posturing, grandiosity, depressive mood, hostility, suspiciousness, hallucinatory behavior, motor retardation, uncooperativeness, unusual thought content, blunted affect, excitement, and disorientation (Yee et al., 2017). The manual of administration of the 24-item BPRS offers a more detailed semi-structured interview with more probe questions for each symptom, and providing supplementary rules for the rating (e.g., delusions) including a well-defined anchor point (Zanello et al., 2013). The recent analysis of the 24-item BPRS produced a four-factor solution: Negative Symptoms, Positive Symptoms, Manic-hostility, and Anxiety–Depression (Zanello et al., 2013). The current BPRS is rated on a seven-point Likert-type scale. A rating of “1” indicates the absence of symptoms, ratings of “2–3” indicate “very mild” to “mild” symptoms that are considered to have nonpathological inte.

As part of your reply, comment on the ways in which your peer's annotated entries were effective in summarizing the studies for you, and ways in which the annotated entries could be more effective.. You need to respond about each peers posting which contains two articles. Laurie Leitch, M., Vanslyke, J., & Allen, M. (2009). Somatic experiencing treatment with social service workers following hurricanes katrina and rita. Social Work, 54(1), 9-18. Laurie Leitch, PhD, is the research director for the Foundation of Human Enrinchment and a coufounder of the Trauma Research Institute. Jan Vanslyke, PhD, and Marisa Allen, ABD, are senior evaluation specialists at Reid and Associates. The purpose of this study was to determine if the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Resiliency Model (SE/TRM) could "reduce the post disaster symptoms of social service workers“ who deliver services to individuals and communities after a disaster. The researchers conducted a quantitative study of 142 social service workers who provided service after huricanes Katrina and Rita in New Orleans. The study was conducted on a nonrandom sample of 142 social service workers. 91 participants received SE/TRM and they were compared with 51 workers who did not receive SE/TRM and were matched via propensity score matching. They hypothesis was that the use of SE/TRM could reduce the symptoms of disaster relief workers post disaster. Data analysis showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups in relation to post disaster relief. The group that received SE/TRM showed significantly lower PTSD symptoms and psychological distress and higher levels of resiliency. The authors noted that all of the participants in this study were employed, which sets them apart from many disaster survivors as well as the study was not a „randomized control study“. Further research is needed to further study the effectiveness of SE/TRM in the field of disaster treatment.

Hello Kasie, You mentioned you were surprised at how long it took people to realize that sports psychology is an important topic. I was also surprised at how long it took. It was not until 1970 it had become established. Sports psychology grew and received recognition as its own subdiscipline (Williams & Krane, 2021). Sports psychology was no longer grouped with motor learning within kinesiology. Now there are people who are certified in sports psychology who analyze the development and performance in an athletic individual. Along with you, I was surprised with just the few women the material discussed who made major contributions to sports psychology as we know it. I like how you mentioned the lengths women had to go to be heard during those times. The book did open my eyes and made me more grateful to have access to factual material and be able to have freedom to express my thoughts. Though going through hardships, there were several women who have assumed leadership roles in developing sports psychology (Krane & Whaley, 2010). Though there were not many women, the women who did contribute had a significant influence on the development of it. You mentioned how the book contradicts itself by not having enough information on the topic. My question to you is what information do you wish the material contained which you feel it lacked?

In your final paper for this course, you will need to write a Methods section that is about 4 pages long where you will assess and evaluate the methods of research. In preparation for this particular section, answer the following questions thoroughly and provide justification/support. The more complete and detailed your answers for these questions, the better prepared you are to successfully write your final paper. Please submit your answers as a single 4- to 6-page document as a numbered list; this will ensure you do not inadvertently miss a question. Additionally, please submit a title page and a reference page in proper APA format. What is your research question? What is your hypothesis or hypotheses? What is the null hypothesis? How many participants would you like to use and why? What are the inclusion characteristics, i.e., what must they have in order to be included in your study (for example, gender, diagnosis, age, personality traits, etc.)? Are there any exclusion characteristics, i.e. are there certain characteristics that would exclude them from being in your study? Does the sample need to be diverse? Why or why not? What sampling technique will be used to collect your sample? What population does your sample generalize to? What are the variables in your study? HINT: Refer back to your hypothesis or hypotheses. Provide operational definitions for each variable. How will you measure each variable? Discuss the reliability and validity of these measures in general terms. What technique will be used for data collection (e.g., observation, survey, interview, archival, etc.)? What type of research design is being used? Briefly discuss the procedure that would be followed when conducting the research. What are some POTENTIAL ethical issues? How might they be addressed? #2 THE EXAMPLE FOR THE ASSIGNMENT Final Project: Early Method Section Final Project: Early Method Section What is your research question? My research question is “Does stress reduction efficacy vary between relaxation response treatment and mindfulness-based programs for female undergraduate students between the ages of 18-25?” The research question is important because previous studies have only provided empirical evidence demonstrating the efficacy of each method on its own and a comparison of the methods within other controlled populations. Research has investigated the effects of these stress-reduction methods within specific subgroups of the population, but not within the population that is targeted in this study. It is also important because the majority of research has focused on the effects of stress-reduction techniques on medical students, healthcare professionals, and undergraduate pr.

1 Clinical Problem Social Anxiety is described by The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association (DSM-5) as a persistent fear of social situations where the person is exposed to people or to possible scrutiny by others and fears that he/she will display symptoms of anxiety or be perceived in a way that will be embarrassing and humiliating (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). This topic was chosen as according to Kessler et al. (2012) social anxiety is among the most common anxiety disorder affecting 13% of individuals at some stage in their lives. From experience, and according to Krysta et al. (2015) medication is the first line treatment for anxiety disorders due to accessibility. Unfortunately, for people experiencing social anxiety most medications have adverse effects such as increased agitation and sexual dysfunction (Rosen et al 1999) and some medication, in particular benzodiazepines are highly addictive (Lader and Kyriacou, 2016). Townend et al. (2008) report that CBT remains the psychological therapy with the widest and broadest evidence base. Beck et al (1979) define Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as a concept where an individual’s emotions and behaviours are based on the way that they interpret the world through their cognitions. NICE (2011) (cited in Clark, 2011) recommend psychological therapies prior to medication for anxiety disorders however due to a lack of therapists in mental health services this is not the case in clinical practice which led to the rationale for the following research question. 2 Clinical question Are psychological interventions more efficacious than pharmacological interventions to help reduce social anxiety disorder (SAD) symptoms in adults? Bragge (2010) explains that answerable clinical research questions have four essential components known as PICO. This therapy type question was developed using these components (P) Population: adults that experience social anxiety (I) Intervention: Psychological interventions (C) Comparator: Pharmacological Interventions (O) Outcome: reduction of social anxiety symptoms. Search Strategy and Outcome A systematic literature search was carried out using electronic databases which were individually accessed via Queens Online, including MEDLINE, Science Direct, PschINFO and Cochrane (see Appendix 1). Roberts and Dicenso (1999) suggest that questions in relation to interventions and their effectiveness are best answered by randomized control trials or based on the hierarchy of evidence, systematic reviews. BestBets.org was also accessed for evidence based synopses. The three papers the author deemed relevant to answer the clinical question above are as follows; Clark et al. (2003) Nordahl et al (2016) Davidson et al. (2004) 3 These three studies were chosen as their methodological design appeared to answer the clinical questi.

Clinical issue of interest Silifat Jones-ibrahim Walden university Clinical issue of interest Psychiatric interventions focus on effectively engaging patients through improving the level of interaction. Integration of evidence based practices provide a better environment where it is possible to outline specific measures that can be used to handle different patients conditions. There is need to create a strong outline which help define important changes which help maintain an improved level of focus. Psychiatric services provide a detailed understanding on specific concepts which help create a better emphasis on important concepts which can help improve individual physical and psychological wellbeing. Violent behavior is associated with different factors including lack of therapeutic interventions as well as groups. Therefore the research aims at determining whether lack of therapeutic activities and presence of groups increase violent behavior over a two week period. Formulation of picot question The Picot question focused on understanding the key interventions that can help improve inpatient psychiatric hospitals because of the increasing violent behavior among patients. Aggressive behaviour in patients with psychiatric disorders has many possible causes. Different psychiatric patients have different mental and psychological concerns which require a strong emphasis on specific aspects which can help improve quality of care. Thus the research sought to understand the causes of violent behavior where two aspects were investigated within a two week period. Formulation of picot question Therapeutic activities have been associated with different factors which provide a detailed emphasis important changes which help outline a strong emphasis on violent behavior among psychiatric patients. Therefore understanding the effect of therapeutic activities and or group will provide a detailed focus on the development of psychiatric patients behavioral development. The picot question development focused on these factors which help outline specific aspects which help understand psychiatric patients behavior. Research databases Choosing database provide a detailed emphasis on important changes which help outline a strong understanding on the underlying research literature based on the picot question.

Alero Okundia Discussion Week 2 COLLAPSE Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) is a psychological measure that is utilized to assess depression among clients over the age of 12. The tool is in the form of a questionnaire comprises of 21 questions. the BDI was developed in 1961. It has been revised several times, with the most recent version, BDI-II published in 1996, it is a self-reporting inventory (Smarr, 2019). Therefore, the answers to the 21 questions are provided by the client rather than being observed by the provider. The development of BDI was established on the concept that an individual’s cognition leads to depression. According to this model, intrusive cognition can sustain a state of depression. For instance, a student who has negative thoughts about her appearance may end up depressed over issues such as weight, height, and appearance. The BDI comprises 21, each representing various items (Smarr, 2019). These items are grouped into two major components. First is the somatic or physical component, which refers to physicals factors that depict the state of depression; examples include lack of appetite, tiredness and fatigue and changes in sleeping patterns (Smarr, 2019). Secondly the affective component. These refer to emotional aspects that describe the presence of a depression state. The affective components include pessimism, feelings of guilt, self-loathing and indecisiveness. These items are rated on a scale of 0 to 3 (Reis, et al., 2019). An item that represents a severe case of depression is given a score of 3 while cases that depict minimal evidence of depression are provided a score of 0. Mental health providers and researchers mainly use BDI. The instrument is mainly useful in the clinical setting. Professional therapists utilize the BDI as a measurement for diagnosing depression (Smarr, 2019). BDI is also popular in the research field and widely used by scientists who study depression. The device is also used in academia and workplaces to evaluate employees and students. In these settings, the BDI is administered by counselors and other paraprofessionals in the medical field to diagnose depression (Reis et al, 2019). The BDI measure is easily administered; however, a qualified provider is needed to interpret the outcome of the test, especially in items concerning self-harm and helplessness. Clients who are diagnosed with depression will be referred to a licensed mental health provider for treatment and therapy. According to (Reis, et al. 2019), BDI has excellent psychometric properties as it has demonstrated high internal consistency, high validity, excellent construct, and test-retest reliability. However, the BDI system has limitations. The possibility of getting exaggerated results is one of the limitations that are associated with the BDI tool. Since the BDI measure is a self-inventory, there is a possibility of the client being evaluated, will give inaccurate information. The second limitation the measures use ph.

Your reply posts should include substantive reflection directed to the presenters. · You are also expected to respond to at least two other peer's initial discussion prompt posts. Facilitating Group’s Post (to be replied) Depression and Somatization Disorders Barry Lynne, Brittany Stoken, and Jessica Murphy NU664C: Psychiatric Mental Health Care of the Family I November 1, 2021 Depression and Somatization Disorders Hello Class, Group 1 is assigned Depression and Somatization Disorders to further discuss. Failure to adjust and modify emotions cognitively while experiencing stress can ultimately present an outcome of exaggerated physiological and behavioral responses and amplify susceptibility to somatic disorders, such as somatization (Davoodi, et al., 2019). Somatization Disorder is the presentation of recurrent and multiple somatic complaints of several years duration for which medical attention has been sought but which do not derive from a specific physical disorder (Swartz, Blazer, & George, 2012). Please respond to the following questions: 1. When caring for a patient with somatization disorder, what therapeutic interventions would you formulate (Allen, Woolfolk, Escobar, Gara, and Hamer, 2006)? 2. How would you evaluate the success of your interventions for a patient living with somatization? Depression is an extremely serious mood disorder that effects how you think, feel, and act. Symptoms range from mild to severe including, feeling sad, loss of interest or pleasure, change in appetite, trouble sleeping or getting too much sleep, feeling worthless, difficulty concentrating, and thoughts of death or suicide (American Psychiatric Association, 2021). To be diagnosed with depression, symptoms must last at least two weeks and present a change in level of functioning (National Institute of Men ...

1 Introduction The objective of this study plan is to evaluate the viability of our solution in relation to previously conducted test cases for companies operating in industries analogous to those of our own. In this section, we will concentrate on the manner in which these use cases measure the performance characteristics of various technical and behavioral qualities connected with an investment in technology made on behalf of a business. The viewpoints and data sources of stakeholders will be incorporated into our measuring system. This measurement framework will be utilized by us in order to assess and analyze the overall performance of our product. After the solution has been implemented, we will conduct post-implementation evaluations to determine how the solution affected the organization. The management of change will play a significant role in our overall research agenda. The plan will adhere to a certain format in providing the findings of the data analysis. Measurement framework In order to present an all-encompassing picture of performance, the measuring framework must to take into account the many stakeholder viewpoints as well as the various data sources. Perspectives from stakeholders may come from a variety of sources, such as the user community, project managers, or senior leadership. Customer feedback, system logs, and performance statistics are three examples of potential data sources (Thabane, 2009). The purpose of the measurement framework is to supply stakeholders with viewpoints and data sources that may be utilized to evaluate the effectiveness of an investment in technology. The framework consists of four dimensions: behavioral characteristics, organizational aspects, user factors, and technological qualities (McShane, 2018). To evaluate how well the technology investment is working out, there is a separate set of performance indicators linked with each of the dimensions of the evaluation. Indicators such as system uptime, reaction time, and throughput are examples of technical qualities. Indicators that make up behavioral qualities include things like user happiness, adoption rates, and the costs of training. Indicators like as return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership are included in the category of organizational variables (TCO). The metrics that make up user factors include things like user happiness, adoption rates, and training expenses (McShane, 2018). The measuring framework draws its information from a variety of data sources, including organizational data, user data, performance data, and financial data. The return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership (TCO) of the technological investment may both be calculated using financial data (Jalal, 2017). The uptime, reaction time, and throughput of the system may all be evaluated based on the performance statistics. Data from users may be analyzed to determine factors such as user happiness, adoption rates, and the costs of training (Thabane,.

1 Project One: Executive Summary Cole Staats Southern New Hampshire University BUS 225: Critical Business Skills for Success Jennyfer Puentes November 14, 2022 Project One: Executive SummaryProblem With the restricted economic activity expected because of the COVID-19 outbreak, and the rise in inflation the revenue for the automobile engine and parts manufacturing industry has been adjusted to decline by 10.9% by the end of 2022 (Pantalon, 2022). Based on the current challenges the automotive industry faces, we must diversify our engine manufacturing and its operations to expand our revenue. In this presentation, I will be using qualitative and quantitative data to explain why I think our company should rapidly explore the ever-evolving and growing popularity of the electric car industry and develop electric motors. I will show the qualitative data which will focus on the industry reports of engine manufacturing inside the automotive industry. The quantitative data that I will provide will estimate the projections for future operations and provide fact-checked historical data on the automotive industry. Automotive Manufacturing Industry After conducting extensive research into the current automotive industry status, where I focused on the performance and expectations for the industry's future, the 2021 measured revenue of the US car and automobile manufacturing was $75 billion. This is compared to previous years, such as 2020 $69 billion, and in 2019 and 2018 $92 billion (MarketLine 2021). Although we saw a rise from 2020 to 2021 in revenue the automobile manufacturing industry revenue will continue to not keep pace with previous years. As the domestic demand for new vehicles trends higher, three automotive hubs are expected to gain greater traction over the next few years. With that said the US automotive industry is heavily established in the Great Lakes region. This region represents just over 36% of the automobile manufacturers in the US. Some of the most successful automobile making are located here which include the Ford Motor Company, General Motors, and Fiat Chrysler. All these manufacturers are in Michigan which makes up 15% of all automobile manufacturing revenue in the US. With that said there are 2 more regions where automobile manufacturers operate that make up 50% of all us manufacturers' locations. The Regions are the West Region, making up 25.4% of the industry locations, and the Southeast Region, making up 24.6% of the industry locations. After conducting research, the consumer's current mindset is shifting towards a “greener” option for the automobile. This option would have a smaller carbon footprint, providing an increase in producing vehicles that are more environmentally friendly. As a result of this new stance on a “greener” option by the consumer the hybrid and the electric car are gaining popularity and are expected to multiply over the next five years (MarketLine 2018). “In 2025 the North American hybri.

1 Management Of Care Chamberlain University NR452: Capstone Professor Alison Colvin. Date: November 23, 2022. Management of Care Management of care involves organizing, prioritizing, maintaining strict patient confidentiality, providing patient with efficient care, education to patient and families, risk stratification, coordination of care transition and medication management. Patient care management is provided to client by nurses and other health care professionals “Management of the critically injured patient is optimized by a coordinated team effort in an organized trauma system that allow for rapid assessment and initiation of life- preserving therapies. (Cantrell, E., & Doucet, J. 2018). Effective patient care management can impact patient heath more positively, when all healthcare professionals work together to provide quality care in promoting patient centered care. Adequate patient care can prevent readmission or admission, also can reduce distress, total cost of care, improve self-management, disease control and patient overall health. Patient care is important to patient because its ensure that patient receive the needed possible care they deserve when in the hospital and out of the hospital, patient will feel their demand is understood and listened to if they health needs are met and understood by professionals that know how to manage their health care needs, health care management team member work together to ensure patient safety through effective communication and collaboration, advocating for patient by connecting patient to community and social services resources that will promote their health care needs can be beneficial to patient, environmental and home risk assessment, and effective facilitation of communication between members of the healthcare team. Nurses play a role in managing a patient health, roles such as: Critical thinking skills, in this case the nurse can recognize any shift in patient health status which plays a significant role in decision making and patient centered care. Time management: delegation, prioritization such as knowing what to do first, what is important, and knowing what task is more important for the patient at a particular time. Patient education is also one of the many role’s nurses do to educate patient on what to expect during a procedure, or during recovery, also teachings on complications or adverse effects of a medication. Clinical reasoning and judgement which will promote quality of health through patient centered care that addresses patient specific health care needs. Holman, H. C., Williams, “et al”. (2019).

1 5 Problem Orientation and Psychological Distress Among Adolescents: Do Cognitive Emotion Regulation Strategies Mediate Their Relationship? Student's name; students' names Department affiliation; university affiliation Course name; course number Instructors’ name Assignment due date Part One The development of essential attitudes and abilities that help determine a person's susceptibility to psychological discomfort occurs throughout adolescence's formative years. This particular research aimed to investigate the relationship between problem-solving-oriented and cognitive-behavioral techniques for emotion regulation and levels of psychological discomfort (Speyer etal.,2021). Notably, the issue of violence among adolescents is increasingly recognized as a severe problem in terms of public health. However, little research has investigated the importance of techniques to control cognitive emotion in teenagers, despite the increased interest in psychographic risk factors for violent conduct. The primary focus of this study will be to investigate the frequency of violent behaviors shown by adolescents and to determine the nature of the connection that exists between specific coping mechanisms for regulating cognition and emotion and various manifestations of aggressive behavior. Using confidential, self-reporting questionnaires, the research will conduct a cross-sectional survey of 3,315 students in grades 7 to 10 to investigate methods by which young adolescents may manage their cognitive processes, emotions, and actions connected to violence. The participants will be notified about the survey, but their personal information will not be public under any circumstances since this would violate ethical standards. The influence of a father on his children might also vary depending on the gender and age of the kid. For boys, parental psychological distress is related to higher internalizing and externalizing issues throughout early adolescence. This finding lends credence to the notion that this stage of development may be especially significant in father-son exchanges. On the other hand, there is a correlation between maternal and paternal psychological discomfort in early infancy and increased levels of internalizing and externalizing difficulties in females (Speyer et al.,2021). Growing up with a father who struggles with mental illness may make girls more reserved, reducing the possibility that they would acquire issues that are manifested outside their bodies. This is one of the possible explanations. Part Two The whole of this project shall be guided by the research questions below: (what is the prevalence of adolescent violent behaviors? what is the relationship between specific strategies to regulate cognitive emotion and forms of violent behavior?) To help operationalize the variables, a logistic regression model will be used to determine the nature of the connection between specific violent actions .

It should be at least four sentences and include a thesis statement that introduces all the key points of the paper. Please note that you should follow all APA writing rules within your essay. This means avoid first and second person, do not use contractions, and use citations throughout your paper. The final sentence in your introduction must be a strong thesis statement that introduces every key topic that will be introduced in the paper. Remember that a thesis should be one sentence. Here is an example: In the pages to follow, West Chester Private School (WCPS) will be discussed in the context of open systems, organizational culture, the decision to close and the closure process, the impact of technology and innovation on stakeholders, administration closure options, the plans for future direction of WCPS, along with the four functions of management. External Environment and Open Systems There are certain ways in which organizations interact with their external environment (as open systems). These ways rely on the Systems Approach to Management Theory, which perceives an organization as an open system that consists of interdependent and interrelated parts interacting as sub-systems (Jackson, 2017). Generally, organizations rely on the exchange of resources and information with their environments. More so, they cannot hold complete control over their behavior and actions, which are significantly impacted by external forces. For example, an organization may be impacted by various environmental conditions such as government regulations, client demands, and raw material availability. As an open system, an organization can interact with the external environment in the context of inputs, transformations, and outputs. Inputs refer to both human and non-human resources like materials, energy, and information. Transformations refer to the conversion of inputs into outputs. For example, a school can transform a student into an educated individual. Finally, outputs refer to what an organization is giving to the environment. Internal Environment and Organizational Culture At the time of the closure, the effectiveness of West Chester Private School (WCPS) as an open system was inadequate. One important factor that impacts the effectiveness of an open system is feedback. Feedback refers to the information that an open system receives from the external environment, which can be used to maintain a system at optimal working conditions or a steady state (Jung & Vakharia, 2019). In the case of WCPS, feedback could be received from parents, teachers, and students. At the time of the closure, none of these stakeholders was consulted. Instead, WCPS made a unilateral decision to close down two campuses without considering the input of parents, te.

12 Toxoplasmosis and Effects on Abortion, And Fetal Abnormalities Toxoplasmosis and Effects on Abortion, And Fetal Abnormalities Abstract The placenta is an immune-privileged organ that may tolerate antigen exposure without eliciting a strong inflammatory response that could result in an abortion. After that, the pregnancy can progress normally. Th1 answers, characterized by interferon-, are essential for suppressing intracellular infections. Therefore, the maternal immune system finds a catch-22 when intracellular parasites invade the placenta. The pro-inflammatory response required to eradicate the virus carries the danger of causing an abortion. Toxoplasma is a potent parasite that causes lifetime infections and is a leading cause of abortions in people and animals. This paper speculates that the pregnancy outcome may be affected by the Toxoplasma strain and the effectors of the parasite, both of which can modify the signaling pathways of the host cell. Introduction Fetuses infected with the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii can develop a disorder known as toxoplasmosis, sometimes called congenital toxoplasmosis. This disease is transmitted from mother to child in the womb. A miscarriage or a stillbirth might happen as a result. A child with this illness may also have significant and progressively deteriorating difficulties in their vision, hearing, motor skills, cognitive ability, and other areas of development. The parasite Toxoplasma gondii is blamed for many pregnancies ending in miscarriage (Arranz-Solís et al., 2021). Most abortions happen in the first trimester of pregnancy or during the early stages of acute sickness. This research aimed to determine if women who had an abortion were more likely to be infected with toxoplasmosis. To make matters worse, the toxoplasmosis-causing Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular pathogen that infects nearly every animal species with a thermoregulatory system. Transferring Toxoplasma from one host to another requires the development of tissue cysts that are infectious when ingested. This means the parasite is incentivized to ensure that the host organism lives during the infection. The parasite does this by stimulating an immune response powerful enough to limit parasite reproduction. Toxoplasma, on the other hand, uses a unique set of effectors to evade the immune response and ensure that the parasite population does not decrease to zero. Results Type II strains are the most common cause of infection in both animal and human hosts. However, all four clonal lineages of Toxoplasma may be found throughout Europe and North America. It has been established, however, that the bulk of the South American isolates identified is genetically distinct from the strains seen in North America and Europe. Certain sorts of isolates have been labeled as atypical strains. Birth abnormalities apart, type II strains are the most common in Europe and North America, where the great majority of .

155 Chapter 11 The Frivolity of Evil Theodore Dalrymple When prisoners are released from prison, they often say that they have paid their debt to society. This is absurd, of course: crime is not a matter of double-entry bookkeeping. You cannot pay a debt by having caused even greater expense, nor can you pay in advance for a bank robbery by offering to serve a prison sentence before you commit it. Perhaps, meta- phorically speaking, the slate is wiped clean once a prisoner is released from prison, but the debt is not paid off. It would be just as absurd for me to say, on my imminent retirement after 14 years of my hospital and prison work, that I have paid my debt to society. I had the choice to do something more pleasing if I had wished, and I was paid, if not munificently, at least ade- quately. I chose the disagreeable neighborhood in which I practiced because, medically speaking, the poor are more interesting, at least to me, than the rich: their pathology is more florid, their need for attention greater. Their dilemmas, if cruder, seem to me more compelling, nearer to the fundamentals of human existence. No doubt I also felt my services would be more valuable there: in other words, that I had some kind of duty to perform. Perhaps for that reason, like the prisoner on his release, I feel I have paid my debt to society. Certainly, the work has taken a toll on me, and it is time to do something else. Someone else can do battle with the metastasizing social pathology of Great Britain, while I lead a life aesthetically more pleasing to me. My work has caused me to become perhaps unhealthily preoccupied with the problem of evil. Why do people commit evil? What conditions allow it to flourish? How is it best pre- vented and, when necessary, suppressed? Each time I listen to a patient recounting the cruelty to which he or she has been subjected, or has committed (and I have listened to several such patients every day for 14 years), these questions revolve endlessly in my mind. No doubt my previous experiences fostered my preoccupation with this problem. My mother was a refugee from Nazi Germany, and though she spoke very little of her life before she came to Britain, the mere fact that there was much of which she did not speak gave evil a ghostly presence in our household.

In Central America, I witnessed civil war fought between guerrilla groups intent on imposing totalitarian tyranny on their societies, opposed by armies that didn’t scruple to resort to massacre. In Equatorial Guinea, the current dictator was the nephew and henchman of the last dictator, who had killed or drive.

Cas. (CCH) P11,677 February 6, 1985, Argued and Submitted - Los Angeles, California September 16, 1985, Decided PRIOR HISTORY: [**1] Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, D.C. NO. CV-80-1810-N, Honorable Leland C. Nielsen, District Judge, Presiding. CASE SUMMARY: PROCEDURAL POSTURE: Plaintiff professional football player appealed from judgments of the United States District Court for the Southern District of California entered in favor of defendant union on plaintiff's claim for breach of the duty of fair representation and in favor of defendant attorneys on plaintiff's legal malpractice claim. OVERVIEW: Plaintiff football player filed suit against defendant union for breach of the duty of fair representation, alleging that defendant attorneys, who were staff counsel for defendant union, erroneously advised him to file the wrong type of grievance and failed to rectify the error when there was an opportunity to do so. Plaintiff also claimed that defendant attorneys committed malpractice. The trial court entered judgment for defendants. On appeal, the court affirmed. The court found that defendant union did not act in an arbitrary, discriminatory, or bad faith manner and held that mere negligence or an error in judgment was insufficient to impose liability for breach of the duty of fair representation. The court affirmed the directed verdict in favor of defendant first attorney because a union attorney may not be held liable in malpractice to an individual union member for acts performed as the union's agent in the collective bargaining process. The court affirmed the summary judgment entered in favor of defendant second attorney. The trial court lacked personal jurisdiction over him because his only contact with the forum state were phone calls and letters. OUTCOME: The court affirmed the judgment in favor of defendant union because it did not breach its duty of fair representation. The court affirmed the directed verdict in favor of defendant first attorney because he was not liable in malpractice to plaintiff football player for acts he performed as the union's agent. The court affi.

1. When drug prices increase at a faster rate than inflation, the groups of people that bear the burden of this increase are taxpayers and Medicare beneficiaries. Taxpayers are paying higher taxes as a result of increased government spending, and Medicare beneficiaries cannot keep up with the price of their prescriptions. When it comes to the factors in making a decision about increasing drug prices, I believe Big Pharma companies should act in a socially responsible manner, meaning they should base their decisions not solely on profit, and not solely on healthcare. There should be a balance, and new policies would be beneficial to help maintain that balance. 2. Lower-level employees have the responsibility to provide accurate information to management so that they can make the most informed decision. Lower-level employees also have the responsibility to not purposefully make material mistakes or purposefully not correct a known mistake. 3. Increased government spending will increase taxes for taxpayers and decrease available spending for other worthy issues. Taxpayers will essentially pay more in taxes and therefore have less income available. With drug prices rising faster than inflation, this will cause a widening gap between annual income and costs. Also, private health insurance costs will increase premiums and out of pocket costs for members. The stakeholders most directly impacted are the senior citizens that are dependent on their medication and can’t afford it or any other out of pocket costs because of the already wide gap between their income and expenses. I believe the government itself can be seen as a stakeholder as well because as they continue to increase Medicare funding, their deficit increases, causing them to take action to allocate resources effectively. 4. If the increase in price of existing drugs is preventing those who need those drugs from obtaining them, then to me it is hard to justify the increase based on R&D. There will always be a trade-off between affordable drugs and how quickly we can get new drugs. The government must devise a policy that improves Big Pharma companies’ incentive for affordability and innovation. 5. Explain what you think each of the following statements means in the context of moral development. . How far are you willing to go to do the right thing? 1. Stage 6 of moral development is about universal “self-chosen” ethical principles. This stage is about following your conscience even if it violates the law. In thinking of moral development, as time passes, one’s level of ethical reasoning advances and some issues may spark moral outrage that force a response. . How much are you willing to give up to do what you believe is right? 1. This statement relates to moral development and how sometimes doing the right thing can have negative consequences. For example, an employee may notice a purposeful mistake by a manager. Let’s assume the employee is certain they will receiv.

In this study, the goal is to identify stressors or behavioral factors through a survey to help find an intervention that can increase work-life satisfaction and job performance. The results help employers know which factors prevent employees from achieving home satisfaction in activities outside of work so that they improve work and life satisfaction for their employees. This also helps employees find a balance so they can do a better job at work and complete satisfying tasks at home. Stress and Behavioral Factors That Inhibit Work and Home Satisfaction For many employees, it can be tough to maintain a healthy balance between their work life and home life. The easiest way to discover a common factor that most employees may face is by conducting a quick survey about their difficulties at both locations. To create a work-life balance, interventions can be o.

1. How did the case study impact your thoughts about your own finances? 2. What were your thoughts and observations as you created your own balance sheet? 3. How might the balance sheet help you in future financial planning? 4. How close to reality do you think your estimated personal cash flow statement will be if you track your actual income and expenses for a month? 1. It gave me the desire to track my finances more closely and objectively. I liked how we can determine our net worth through some simple calculations and our inflows and outflows per month. Generally, I rely on simple finance apps like Mint to track my finances. Currently, I do not create monthly budgets, but I now believe such action could be helpful. 2. I know that I have more assets than I am counting in the excel sheet. Therefore, my net worth is potentially higher. I also have a variety of streaming platforms. I would benefit from switching from one platform to another month by month to save money. Streaming platforms are not a significant expense. Currently, my most considerable expense is transportation. Since gas prices are falling, this will help increase my surplus. 3. Accounting is math: it either works or doesn’t. Each can be traced from its inception (a sale, an expense, a money transfer) to the line on the financial statement. Since I don’t have much experience with financials, I try to seek out a mentor who is a family member. A balance sheet will ensure that I am not spending foolishly and ensure I am making appropriate purchases within the limits I set for myself. Proper planning will ensure I maximize my net worth. 4. It is important to consider cash flow when planning for the future . It is important to save money every month in order to be able to make better financial decisions in the future. I hope to use some investing approaches for beginners to purchase funds without getting into debt. Most people underestimate how much they truly spend in a month. Therefore, I am underestimating how much I spend as well. I eat out quite a bit with friends and family, so my restaurant bill for the holidays might be higher than anticipated.

1 The Biography of Langston Hughes Yanai Gonzalez Ana G Mendez November 17, 2022 The Biography of Langston Hughes THE BIOGRAPHY OF LANGSTON HUGHES 2 On February 1, 1901, James Mercer Langston Hughes was born. He was born in Joplin, Missouri, to James and Caroline Hughes, into a family of enslaved people and enslavers (Leach, 2004). His father departed from the family, later divorcing their family, forcing Langston's mother to move to Lawrence, Kansas, with his maternal grandmother. It was from the latter that Langston learned about African American traditions, installing an enormous sense of pride into the young man (Hughes et al., 2001). This greatly influenced his writing, as evidenced by poems such as Mother to Son. He would then go on to join Columbia University to study engineering, where he would write poetry for the Columbia Daily Spectator. As a result of racial discrimination, he finally left the school and resided in Harlem, where he was engulfed by the vibrant feeling of life (Leach, 2004). Langston began cruising as a crewman aboard the S.S. Malone in 1923, after doing a few odd jobs. He subsequently took his first white-collar job as Carter G. Woodson's assistant at the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, a historian. He'd then leave his work since it didn't enable him to write. He would later work as a busboy. He got his big writing break when he met Vachel Lindsay, a famous poet of the time, with whom Langston shared his poetry (Leach, 2004). Lindsay was heavily impressed and helped Langston reach the big stage. Langston then went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from Lincoln University. Langston began his literary career in 1921 by publishing The Crisis in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People magazine (Leach, 2004). The poem Mother to Son was in this book and would go on to get much acclaim. He would go on to release The Weary Blues along with other novels, short stories, and poems (Hughes et al., 2001). He participated heavily in the Harlem Renaissance. Langston would pass away on May 22, 1967, from surgery complications while being treated for prostate cancer. Mother To Son by Langston Hughes THE BIOGRAPHY OF LANGSTON HUGHES 3 Well, son, I’ll tell you: Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair. It’s had tacks in it, And splinters, And boards torn up, And places with no carpet on the floor— Bare. But all the time I’se been a-climbin’ on, And reachin’ landin’s, And turnin’ corners, And sometimes goin’ in the dark Where there ain’t been no light. So boy, don’t you turn back. Don’t you set down on the steps ’Cause you finds it’s kinder hard. Don’t you fall now— For I’se still goin’, honey, I’se still climbin’, And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.

It is to set the mechanism for recalling vehicles with manufacturing defects that affect in one way or another the safety of vehicles and their users, and this is done by linking a unified system in which the defective vehicle data is added and called in the system to the maintenance centers of the concerned vehicle agencies. Workmanship defects are classified as: (1) Basic defects, which are considered to have a serious and direct impact on the safety of the vehicle and its users, and the inspection process cannot be passed until after the defect is fixed. (2) Warning defects, which are considered a defect in the product, but the effect of the defect does not threaten the safety of the vehicle and its users pass the examination process and the defect is added as a warning only. This research proposal aims to find the most effective way to reach every defected vehicle and the effective way to deal with the vehicle owner to do the necessary changes especially if it's related to safety in a systematic way. The purpose of the project is to develop a new business model that was never used everywhere in the world and Saudi Arabia will take the lead to publish this model to the rest of the world. Ensuring that the practice will be used is the most effective practise as enabling to force the defected car owner to have their vehicles fixed and the defected was solved.

http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024 Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error. Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials. This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction. This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. 1 Assessment Instruments Anxiety and Related Disorders Week X DSM: Instrument: Article: Appropriateness for Dx: Response to Therapy/Treatment: Psychometrics: Limitations: References 1 Assessment Instruments Student Example Anxiety and Related Disorders Week 7 Instrument: Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN)

2. Article: Psychometric properties of the Social Phobia Inventory Appropriateness for Dx: This tool is meant for screening of individuals with social phobia and assignment of a severity score (Connor et al., 2000). The tool was created in congruence with DSM-4 but is consistent with the DSM-5 diagnosis of social anxiety disorder, minus some minor changes (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration [SAMHSA], 2016). Although the study is outdated, Duke University School of Medicine (2020) acknowledges that the tool is still relevant and utilized by their Anxiety and Traumatic Stress Program. Response to Therapy/Treatment: The SPIN is appropriate for testing treatment response and through studies has proven sensitive to symptom changes over time. Changes in scores are able to determine treatment efficiency (Connor et al., 2000). Psychometrics: The tool is self-administered and consists of 17 separate statements regarding problems a patient may exhibit if they have social phobia. The statement is then rated on how much it has bothered the individual in the last week, from ‘not at all’ (0) to ‘extremely’ (4). Any score over 21 is considered clinically significant. In the study, the assessment tool was able to effectively separate individuals with and without social phobia. Validity is strong in regard to detecting the severity of illness and is sensitive to symptom reductions during treatment. The scale shows significant correlation with the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale Test, The Brief Social Phobia Scale and The Fear Questionnaire social phobia subscale (Connor et al., 2000).

3. Limitations: Limitations exist in the tool’s alignment with DSM-4 instead of the more recent edition, although differences are very minor (SAMHSA, 2016). With a cutoff score of 19, sensitivity and specificity were good, but some individuals consider the cutoff score to be 15, in which these measures are weaker (Connor et al., 2000).
