It also discusses summarization as a note-taking strategy to reduce information in a text to its most important points.
This session will give researchers some tips on the first part of the paper including the introduction, literature review, research question & purpose of the study.
A generalization (or generalisation) is the formulation of general concepts from specific instances by abstracting common properties. Generalizations posit the existence of a domain or set of elements, as well as one or more common characteristics shared by those elements (thus creating a conceptual model). As such, they are the essential basis of all valid deductive inferences. The process of verification is necessary to determine whether a generalization holds true for any given situation.
Generalization is the process of identifying the parts of a whole, as belonging to the whole. The parts, completely unrelated may be brought together as a group, belonging to the whole by establishing a common relation between them.
Patterns of organization and methods of developmentAnaMaedelaTorre2
Use appropriate grammatical signals or expressions suitable to each pattern of idea development:
● general to particular
● claim and counterclaim
● problem-solution
● cause-effect

Question 5Discuss Big Pharma’s role in the diagnosis and tre.docxssuser774ad41
Question 5
Discuss
Big Pharma’s
role in the diagnosis and treatment of psychopathology
.
Decide an appropriate role for
Big
Pharma going forward, if indeed
Big Pharma
should have a voice in this matter.
Consider the opposing viewpoints and address the following questions:
A. What does each position believe? Why--what is the evidence being used for their arguments? Evaluate the quality of the evidence from a scholarly perspective.
B. Can you identify one or more logical points or pieces of information in each perspective even though you may not agree with that perspective completely?
C. What additional information would be helpful to know to evaluate each perspective more effectively?
D. What is a potential 3rd or 4th perspective that should be considered in this controversy? There are likely many other perspectives besides these two.
The 1st two perspectives we are considering:
1.
Big Pharma
has our best interests in mind. These companies fund valuable research projects that help us understand psychiatric conditions and appropriate treatment methods. Additionally, this research sometimes uncovers new psychiatric conditions worthy of new treatment methods. We can trust
Big Pharma
to do what is in the average person's best interest with respect to diagnosing and treating psychiatric conditions.
2. Because
Big Pharma’s
profits are directly tied to the treatment of illnesses, they do not stand to benefit from successfully and completely treating psychiatric conditions. In other words,
Big Pharma
does not profit when people are healthy. Therefore,
Big Pharma
does not have the average person's best interests in mind, and we cannot trust
Big Pharma
.
Question 4
Are there psychological syndromes and symptoms that appear only in certain cultures?
In situations where a syndrome shares symptoms with an established DSM diagnosis, is it appropriate to use the DSM diagnosis, an ICD diagnosis or the diagnostic term of the client’s culture-of-origin?
The 1st two perspectives we are considering:
1. Culturally bound syndromes and symptoms exist. That is to say, there are certain syndromes and symptoms that present themselves only among people of certain cultures.
2. Culturally bound syndromes and symptoms do not exist. These syndromes and symptoms are merely slightly different presentations of syndromes and symptoms found in the DSM.
While exploring this topic, please keep these ground rules in mind:
e tips:
Put simply, try to think outside the box. Too often, we polarize ourselves into yes/no, for/against positions rather than examining the issue in detail, understanding it, and seeing a truth or truths emerge from this understanding. Think of it this way: If I say the sky
is
blue, then I've stopped exploring. If I say the sky
isn't
blue, I've again stopped exploring. If I say "I don't know, let's find out," then I've opened myself to any possibility.
Question 3
The effects of Gender Dysphoria's presence as a disorder ...
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
1. Supporting Details
As you know, the most important reading skill
is finding the main idea.
A closely related reading skill is locating
supporting details—the added information
you need to make sense of the main idea.
3. The man’s support for his statement that his job
is unbearable is that
1. he almost didn’t get a doughnut,
2. he got put on hold for three minutes, and
3. he got a paper cut.
(His support is not very convincing! Ideas should always
have convincing support.)
4. A Paragraph with Strong Support
In the paragraph below, three major details support the
main idea that many people are strangely passive when
they visit a doctor.
Can you identify the three major details?
Many people are strangely passive when they visit a doctor. First of all,
they often fail to provide the doctor with complete information about their
medical problem. They may barely describe their symptoms, believing that a
skilled doctor—like a master car mechanic—will somehow easily be able to
diagnose what is wrong with them. Secondly, many people fail to ask their
doctors for a full and clear explanation of their condition. They don’t want to
appear ignorant in front of their “all-knowing” doctor, and they don’t want to
take up too much of this Important Person’s time, so they say little and ask
almost nothing. Last of all, they often fail to understand a doctor’s orders.
Studies show that many patients don’t understand why they should take a
certain medication or for how long they should take it. Incredibly enough,
some patients are not even sure, as they are about to be rolled into an
operating room, why they are having surgery!
5. Here in outline form are the three major
details supporting the main idea:
Main idea: Many people are strangely passive when
they visit a doctor.
Supporting details:
1. Don’t provide enough information about their
problem
2. Don’t get a full explanation about their problem
3. Don’t understand a doctor’s orders
6. Outlining
An outline shows the relationship between a
main idea and its supporting details.
Outlines start with a main idea, followed by
major supporting details. Sometimes there will
be minor supporting details as well.
Main idea
1. Major supporting detail
a. Minor supporting detail
b. Minor supporting detail
2. Major supporting detail
a. Minor supporting detail
b. Minor supporting detail
7. Outlining Tips
Tip 1: Look for list words that tell you a list of
details is coming:
Several kinds of Various causes A few reasons
A number of A series of Three factors
Four steps Among the results Several advantages
Tip 2: Look for addition words that signal major
details:
one first of all in addition furthermore
first also next last of all
second another moreover finally
8. Mapping
Maps, or diagrams, are visual outlines
in which circles, boxes, or other shapes show
the relationships between main ideas and
supporting details.
In a map, each major detail is connected to the
main idea. If minor details are included, each is
connected to the major detail it explains.
9. In the paragraph below, four major details support the main
idea that there are factors that interfere with memory.
Can you identify the four major details that belong in the map?
Several factors can interfere with having a good memory. One such factor is a lack
of motivation. Without a real desire to learn or remember something, you probably
won’t. Another cause is a lack of practice. To stay sharp, memory skills, like any other
skill, must be used on a regular basis. A third factor that can hurt memory is self-doubt.
If you’re convinced you won’t remember something, you probably won’t. A person with
a positive attitude will do much better on a test than someone who is sure he or she
won’t remember the material. Last, distraction can interfere with memory. If you are
being distracted by the sound of a television or a conversation nearby, try to find a quiet
environment before you attempt to commit something to memory.

Now see if you can answer the following questions:
1. Which words in the paragraph indicate that a list is coming?
2. Which words introduce the first major detail?
3. Which words introduce the second major detail?
4. Which words introduce the third major detail?
5. Which words introduce the last major detail?

12. Summarizing
.
A summary is the reduction of a large amount of
information to its most important points.
Often, a summary will consist of a main idea and
its major supporting details.
When you take study notes on textbook material,
you’ll find it helpful to summarize definitions and
examples of important terms.
13. How would you summarize the following
textbook passage?
In some circumstances, the most effective way of
.
coping with stress is withdrawal—avoiding the situation.
A person at an amusement park who is overcome by
anxiety when just looking at a roller coaster can walk on
to a less threatening ride or even leave the park entirely.
A woman whose promotion depends on temporarily
relocating might simply quit her job and join another
company. Or she might withdraw emotionally from the
stressful situation by deciding that promotion no longer
matters to her and that she has already advanced in her
career as far as she wants to go.

Withdrawal—coping with stress by avoiding the situation.
For example, a person made anxious by being near a
roller coaster can walk elsewhere.
15. Review
Major and minor details provide the added information you need to
make sense of a main idea.
List words and addition words can help you find major and minor
supporting details.
Outlining, mapping, and summarizing are useful note-taking
strategies.
Outlines show the relationship between the main idea, major details,
and minor details of a passage.
Maps are very visual outlines.
Writing a definition and summarizing an example is a good way to
take notes on a new term.
