The authors here collected data personally from different dairy
households bringing equality of the research from both peri-
urban and rural areas, all those factors surrounding the families
like : education status, herd size, scientific orientation among
many were found to have a major effect on the respondent
without putting consideration on their localities. In rural area
the scientific orientation exhibited maximum direct effects
while achievement motivation exhibited indirect effects. This
journal is important for scientifically oriented researchers who
are interested in achieving information management behavior
especially in farming practices traditionally.

blood ordering optimization process using information from an
anesthesia information management system." Transfusion
(2016).
The authors in this publication as part of ongoing perioperative
surgical home implantation process, applied an algorithm that
was in existence previously to create a maximum surgical blood
order schedule (MSBOS) to the operating rooms. There was so
much hope that by using the MSBOS they could show a
reduction in unnecessary preoperative blood testing and
associated costs .The cost analysis demonstrated an annual
reduction in actual hospital costs and MSBOS compared to
historical blood ordering practices. They showed that the
algorithm for development of a multispecialty blood order
schedule is transferable and yielded reductions in preoperative
blood product screening at their institution. This paper is
crucial for those who wish to study how information from
anesthesia can be used to manage various hospital conditions. It
is useful for the undergraduate students and those doing
undergraduate research.

Technological fundamentals and applications. Springer Science

This book elaborates how multimedia information technologies
have a strong influence on modem life, and have revolutionaries
on our way of acquiring knowledge and thinking over the
Internet and wireless communication. As there is an increase of
digital multimedia, there is need for effective data storage and
management. This area has been a very active research area in
recent years. This book will provide readers with an up-to-date
and comprehensive picture of cutting edge technologies in
multimedia information retrieval and management.

In this book, the authors describe different various means of
information management, that includes projects, organizations,
and acronyms and personal information. There has been a great
focus on the development of intellectual property, privacy and
other illegal acts like piracy and there are many organizations
that have enlisted in the sector of personal information
management in the book. The book is a quicker reference for
explaining specialist terms and finding the URLs that one needs
in his or her research. It is a very vital book for those involved
in research.

The authors of this journal provide an excellent overview of the

vital decisions to be able to fully understand their roles. The
section on effective documentation and information
management gives new notion and essence to make progress in
the field. The publication will help the reader to further explore
this important subject. And the researchers will get more
information on how to manage information that can help
conserve their heritage.

Psychotherapy Interventions II
Case Study: Joanne
Name: Joanne

7. Gender: Female Age: 64 Ethnicity: African American
Religion: Methodist
Relationship Status: Widowed
Description of Presenting Issue:
Joanne was referred to you from the pastor at her church who
was concerned about her welfare. Six weeks previously,
Joanne’s long-time partner, Anne, died of unexpected heart
failure. Having been together for 31 years, Joanne reported that
she was having significant difficulty “moving on, and taking
care of basic things.” She has not returned to her part-time
position at the local library, and generally avoids contact with
friends and family. She has two adult sons from an early
marriage, but says that she does not want to “burden” them with
her problems. She has avoided dealing with much of the legal
issues and paperwork resulting from her partner’s death.
Joanne reports that she ruminates about her relationship with
Anne, focusing on feelings about not having appreciated her
enough during their time together. She feels “lost” and is unable
to find purpose or meaning in her life. She has strong feelings
of worthlessness, and spends hours thinking about how she
“should” have lived her life.
Once an avid hiker and golfer, Joanne has not participated in
either since Anne’s death. Joanne reports that she now wakes up
late, “putters around the house” and takes a nap in the
afternoon. She is eating poorly, relying on take-out food and
sweets for meals.
Occupational History: After a fulfilling full-time career with the
county library, Joanne transitioned to part-time work at age 60
to travel more with Anne.
Educational History: Joanne earned a master’s degree in library

8. science. She also took several continuing education courses in
creative writing.
Medical History: Joanne is being treated for hypertension and
diabetes. She is moderately overweight, but was generally fit up
through her late 50s. Both pregnancies were normal and
uncomplicated.
Family History: Joanne is the eldest of six siblings. Her father
(deceased) was an officer in the military and the family moved
frequently throughout her youth. Joanne is very close to her
mother, who now lives in an assisted living home in a town
several hours away. Joanne has good relationships with her
siblings except for her youngest brother, Roger, who does not
“accept her lifestyle.” She and Roger have not spoken for nearly
15 years.
Alcohol/Substance Use: Joanne reports drinking occasionally
(3–4 times per month). She does not smoke or use recreational
drugs. She has been prescribed Ambien by her physician to help
her fall asleep and reports that she needs the Ambien “most
nights.”
· Application: Person-Centered Therapy—Case
Conceptualization
As you learned in your readings this week, person-centered
therapy is a unique school of thought that provides a positive
frame for working with clients to make changes in their lives or
address problems that arise. Person-centered therapy, as with
other therapies, relies on certain core beliefs related to how
humans develop, how they handle stress, how they develop
problems or symptoms, and how they change.
This week, you will conceptualize a new case study, Joanne,
through a person-centered approach.
To prepare for this assignment:
· Review Case Study: Joanne. Think about conceptualizing

9. Joanne and her presenting issues through the lens of person-
centered therapy.
· Review your Instructor's feedback on your case
conceptualizations of Sam and Kyle.
· Download and review the Case Conceptualization Exemplar
and Case Conceptualization Template.
· Review Chapters 1, 2, and 3 of the text, Clinical Process:
From Conceptualization to Treatment Planning, if needed.
· Consult your DSM-5 to formulate a preliminary diagnosis for
Joanne's presenting issues.
· Conduct a brief literature review (2-3 articles), searching for
person-centered interventions that are empirically supported
treatments.
· Review this week's Web sites for empirically supported
treatments.
The assignment: (The completed template should be 2–3pages)
· Complete the Case Conceptualization Template for Case
Study: Joanne through the lens of person-centered therapy.
· Provide specific empirically supported treatments and
evidence-based practice interventions.
· Include ethical and cultural considerations in your case
conceptualization.
