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 ...
Somatic Experiencing: Reduction of Depression and Anxiety in Homeless Adults ...Michael Changaris
This is a brief 7 page version of dissertation presented for completion of doctorate. The study found some implications for reduction of symptoms of depression and anxiety in homeless adults. Limitations are number of sessions attended (1.33 average), population heterogeneity and small sample size.
Depression is a state of feeling sad, miserable and down in the dumps with loss of self-confidence. Depression despite being a serious condition in all age groups is more common and significant in the
geriatric population as it is associated with morbidity and mortality. The cause of depression is multifactorial. Various scales have been developed to assess depression of which the Geriatric Depression
Scale is most suited for elderly population and those with dementia. In our study, we aim to analyse the prevalence of depression among elderly patients visiting the outpatient departments of a tertiary care hospital and determine the factors influencing depression in them. The study was an Observational study carried out on 51 elderly patients over the age of 60 years attending the outpatient departments of PSG Hospital. The Geriatric Depression Scale Short form was used to determine the prevalence of depression. A
self-designed questionnaire considering various factors causing depression was administered to determine
the factors influencing depression. It was found that among 51 elders in the age group of 60 to 80 years,
58.8% were depressed of which 54% were males and 68% were females. Financial fears regarding future
and income insufficiency were the most important factors contributing to depression. This shows that
monetary fear is a major factor resulting in depression. The government and other organizations must
ensure that better support both financial and other services like healthcare are provided to the elderly in
order to prevent depressive illnesses.
A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY ANALYSING THE LEVEL OF DEPRESSION AND ITS CAUSATIVE F...amsjournal
Depression is a pathological state of the mind characterised lack of self-confidence and self-esteem. The
cause of depression is multi factorial and various physical, psychological, environmental and genetic
factors have been implicated in the causation of depression. Despite being a serious condition in all age
groups, depression is more common and significant in the geriatric population as it is associated with
significant morbidity and mortality. Various scales have been developed to assess depression of which the
Geriatric Depression Scale is most suited for elderly population. It has a long form and short form, the
latter being more appropriate for elderly patients with dementia. In our study, we aim to analyse the
prevalence of depression among elderly patients visiting the outpatient departments of a tertiary care
hospital and determine the factors influencing depression in them. The study was an Observational cross sectional
study carried out on 51 elderly patients over the age of 60 years attending the various outpatient
departments of PSG Hospital. The Geriatric Depression Scale Short form was used to determine the
prevalence of depression. A self-designed questionnaire considering various factors causing depression
was administered to determine the factors influencing depression. It was found that among 51 elders in the
age group of 60 to 80 years, 58.8% were depressed of which 54% were males and 68% were females.
Financial fears regarding future and income insufficiency were the most important factors contributing to
depression. This shows that monetary fear is a major factor resulting in depression. The most effective
strategy to combat depression is to ensure appropriate self-report. The government and other organizations
must ensure that better support, both financial and other services like healthcare are provided to the
elderly in order to prevent depressive illnesses.

Introduction
Heart failure (HF) is a progres-
sive disease, which commonly
results in functional impairment
and activity intolerance (Yancy
et al., 2013). As symptom se-
verity increases, the ability to
perform activities of daily liv-
ing is affected, creating a barrier
to effective self-care (Riegel et
al., 2009). In fact, HF is one of
the most common reasons for
hospitalization among individu-
als 65 years and older and the
main reason for about 16 million
visits to ambulatory care cen-
ters each year (American Heart
Association, 2013). Thus, many
patients rely on home healthcare
clinicians to assist with daily
tasks and disease management
(e.g., treatment adherence, daily
weight monitoring, etc.) to pre-
vent these adverse outcomes.
Living with HF not only has
physiological ramifications, but
psychological effects as well.
For example, prior research indi-
cates that approximately 50% of
individuals with HF experience
depressive symptoms (Gottlieb
et al., 2004) secondary to HF
symptoms and functional im-
pairment (Carels, 2004; Cully et
al., 2010). Depressive symptoms
are known barriers to effective
self-care (Suter et al., 2012) and
influence morbidity and mortal-
ity in HF (Yancy et al., 2013).
How one copes with increasing
symptoms of HF may influence
the development of depressive
symptoms. Although findings
FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH
in Patients With Heart Failure
Depressive Symptoms
Home healthcare clinicians commonly provide care for individu-
als with heart failure (HF). Certain factors may influence the de-
velopment of depressive symptoms in those with HF. This cross-
sectional, descriptive, correlational pilot study (N = 50) examined
interrelationships among HF symptoms, social support (actual and
perceived), social problem-solving, and depressive symptoms. Find-
ings indicated that increased HF symptoms were related to more
depressive symptoms, whereas higher levels of social support were
related to fewer depressive symptoms. The use of more maladaptive ...

Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”
Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.

15. Conclusion
• What policy interventions to improve political trust,
perceptions of government responsiveness, and political
self-efficacy?
• What policy interventions to improve political participation
and engagement?
• Do our findings generalise to other mental health
problems?
• Does lower perceived sense of representation reflect into
lower actual (substantive and descriptive) representation?
