Assessment Literature Reviews Samples For Students

Introduction

The problem of crime is a prevalent one in the society. Law enforcement works toward ensuring the least possible of such occurrence as would be termed criminal activity. In order for this, the process utilizes criminal risk assessment as means to determine the probability of criminal activity. Criminal risk assessment allows the system to determine whether a criminal is likely to perpetrate an act of crime again. In this manner, law enforcement assures the society of a more secure environment. The process of risk assessment engages more than one tool for assessment in order to ensure the highest possible levels of accuracy. ...

Community members risk a great risk of getting themselves hurt at the hands of people prone to violence. The relevance of the study is that it highlights what is instrumental in determining the extent to which mentally ill and violent individuals are likely to pose risk to members of communities, be they prison, hospital or standard civilian groups of people. The literature review will include a board concept of community. Samuel (2015) defined the concept of community as applicable to a human group sharing a geographical area. Following this logic, the notion is possible to apply to patients and ...

Introduction

Risk assessment tools are employed for the purposes of identifying and managing the people at risk of certain tendencies that may be harmful to them. Some risk assessment tools have been developed as a consequence of determining the behaviors of individuals and their propensities to cause harm or disrupt the peace in certain jurisdictions. In the recent past, more than a hundred and twenty risks assessment researchers have established tools. Their validity and viability have been proven in dealing with psychiatric cases across various societies. The two articles chosen for this study focus on various dimensions of the assessment, yet all ...

Abstract

In the current global environment, the emergence of technology and its availability throughout the world comes with significant advantages for the development of the business world, but also of the individuals’ life conditions. Technology creates an interdependency between the developed and developing or third world countries, in terms of request and demand for work force, which contributes to reducing the poverty levels and even the world hunger, due to business ventures such as outsourcing. While the rise of technology and communication allows for significant benefits for societies at a global level, it has also contributed to changing societies and the ...

The Society of Toxicology is among the institutions that have dedicated their objectives to protect and improve health in humans, animals as well as the environment. They give their stand ...

Literature Review

Physicians always encounter innumerable number of patients with chest pains every day. The cause of these chest pains cannot always be pinpointed to a single health factor. However, veritably a good percentage of these chest pain cases are traced to a wide range of heart diseases. Acute Coronary Syndrome is one such heart disease that has been found to be a possible causation of the chest pains that are incessantly encountered by physicians. Commonly abbreviated as ACS, Acute Coronary Syndrome results in the blockage of some parts or the heart’s entire coronary arteries.

A brief review

Abstract
Recidivism rates are very instrumental in the policy making, offender incarceration and treatment. However when these rates are surrounded by uncertainty and are lacking, these rates do more harm than good. This is truer in sexual crimes, particularly in child molestations. While criminological literature emphasizes low recidivism rates for sexual criminals, the public fueled by media, consider it otherwise. Nonetheless recidivism rates are high for child molesters among the sexually offending group. Even among child molesters, there is much difference between the intra-familial and extra-familial groups too. Framework models and tools help specialists in identifying individuals with ...

Discrepancy Index and treatment time

Introduction
During the past many decades, considerable efforts have been made to develop reliable and standardized measurement tools in orthodontics. Quantitative indices like the peer assessment rating (PAR) and the objective grading system (OGS) have been successfully used so far to assess outcomes of an orthodontic treatment, but these are limited to occlusal aspects only (Cangialosi, 2004).

Literature Review on Discovery Based Learning and Student Centred Learning with a Focus in Mathematics at a High School Level

Abstract
Mathematics is a logical form of reasoning which involves making of judgments and justifying conclusions. Mathematical behaviour therefore is expressed when we can describe and recognise patterns, manipulate, represent and reflect on ideas while solving problems through the invention of procedures (Battista, 1999). Mathematics, as a subject has never been mentioned as one of the easier subjects – if anything, it is to the contrary as students are more prone to fail mathematics than many other subjects. Many critics have blamed the methods applied in the teaching of mathematics as the reason behind unsatisfactory performance. This essay will look into ...

In broad terms, the concept of sustainable economic growth is an attempt to combine growing concerns about a range of environmental issues with socio-economic issues (Bill Hopwood, Mary Mellor and Geoff O’Brien, 2005). However, the phrase sustainable economic growth or development has many meanings attached to it. Sustainability itself (as a strategic concept originated in the Brundtland report in the year 1987) means a degree of growth which can be retained without creating other substantial economic or environmental problems for future generations. In other words, it is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future ...

Through the implementation practices of change, health care is made safer, but safety practices ...

Life cycle analysis may also be referred as life cycle assessment. It may be defined as a systematic tool or technique that evaluates the environmental aspects of a product as it gradually moves through all its stages of the life cycle. This implies the development from raw material extraction, through to the processing of the raw materials, manufacture of the final product, distribution of these products, their use, the repairs done to them and the maintenance that they require and lastly its disposal or recycling. The main importance of the LCA process is to reduce the environmental impacts of the products ...

Fall prevention

In any year, half of the people who are 80 years and above fall. Approximately, 27% of hospital costs are due to these falls. All this is attributed to the fact that older people are at risk of loss of independence, injury, rest home admission or even death. Over the past decade, a variety of fall prevention trials have been successful. This success is associated with the use of a variety of interventions, and the successful trials have been published. As a result, there have been numerous international interests as well as investment in the fall prevention programs. Nonetheless, for any effect ...

The starting point of the learning process is curiosity that is crafted in the minds of the young people. This essentially includes the student’s aspiration of participating in the learning process (Lumsden 1). Unfortunately, the zeal to learn more and the curiosity developed constantly decrease as the young ones grow older in the education system. In order to maintain the level of determination and curiosity, the young students need motivation from people with experience in different areas. Motivation to learn involves the stimulation of a student’s natural desire to be involved in the learning activities. This means that ...

Teratogen is broadly defined as an environmental agent capable of causing abnormal prenatal variation in form or function. In other words, it can be any environmental factor that can produce a permanent abnormality in structure or function of an embryo or fetus or restriction of growth of an infant (Gilbert-Barness, 2010). In prenatal life, exposure to teratogens may even lead to death of the embryo or fetus. It is estimated that approximately 15% of all congenital structural abnormalities observed in a child are due to exposure to some kind of teratogens during the prenatal life (Brent, 2001). A larger number of ...

Consequently, some students may have disabilities in the storage of educational information thus they find it difficult to memorize what is taught in class ( ...

Introduction

Healthcare involves the collaboration of various medical organizations, institutions, and providers, all of whom manage their own data under different storage and retrieval systems, and though practical and efficient within the target system, there is a lack of uniformity in structure across other systems (Masud et al. 2012). Moreover, there are often variations in data compiled from the same resources. This lack of synergy between the various data storage systems, and the types of information stored, preclude the sharing of data among the various healthcare professionals, institutions, and organizations. E-health systems, on the other hand, allow the storage and retrieval ...

Although many individual EMTs attempt to cope with the effects of sleep deprivation by withdrawing from their personal lives or reducing the time spent at work-studies show that neither of these coping mechanisms are effective. While this is a problem that confronts shift workers everywhere it is dramatically brought home to EMT workers who sometimes have to respond to situations where the patient causes an accident because they themselves were sleep deprived.

The first step in prioritizing healthcare resources is to estimate the burden of disease. High-income countries have reliable systems to assess the causes of death in the population; however, mid- and low-income countries do not have such systems in place, and mortality rates from a specific disease have to be extrapolated from incomplete data. Several studies have approached the problem of estimating the burden of disease by using a variety of methods to determine which diseases are responsible for the most deaths, which countries are carrying the highest burden of disease and death, and which populations are at the highest risk ...

Economists most often use elasticity to measure the variation of variables like price, demand and supply of certain categories of products. By managers having the knowledge about the price elasticity of demand for the company’s products and the factors which influence it, this will offer them a great competitive advantage and this will lead to increased profits and market share (Genchev & Yarkov, 2010). Price elasticity of demand is defined as a measure of the rate of response of the quantity demanded due to a change in price. The formula to calculate this is: give as Price elasticity of demand = Proportionate ...

Based on evidence, the Zika virus was associated with varying viral ...

The issue is whether the student based teacher evaluation is gender biased. Gender bias is a common social vice that is described as the subjective perception that some people are better positioned to perform some task based on their masculinity of their femininity. For instance, most societies hold that boys or men are better at academics, rationality and in most cases possess socially unruly behavior while their female counterparts are socially interactive, more disciplined and better in arts and languages (Templeton, 2016). With such gender-based bias ingrained in the society, the fundamental question is whether students are affected by ...
