Introduction

Sexual assault of women is a pervasive crime that exerts significant influence both on the lives of women, who become victims of gender-based violence, and the communities, where these women live (Klump, 2006, p.67). Sexual assault against women is epidemic to American culture (Miller, Markman and Handley, 2007, p.129). A woman can face a sexual assault both in childhood and adulthood.

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).

ABO’s DI

The American Board of Orthodontics’ (ABO’s) main goal is clinical excellence as it aims to deliver high quality orthodontics. With this goal in mind, it has devised a tool, the Discrepancy Index (DI) with an intention of providing an objective evaluation ...

Introduction

In the agile environment that characterizes the prevailing markets, the survival of companies depends on publicity and advertising (Marder and Lindvall, 2014). The two elements are particularly significant in the building of strong company brands worldwide. Publicity is described as a “non-personal communication” that employs modes such as tapes, films, photographs, newsletters, feature articles, press conferences, media interviews, and press releases (Marder and Lindvall, 2014, p. 1). Although publicity can have positive impacts on a business and strengthen brand equity, negative publicity may have adverse consequences for the company. Typically, negative publicity refers to damaging information that tends to ...

Abstract

The purpose of this discussion is to determine the relationship between human papillomavirus type 16 and the incidence of cervical cancer in adult women. As such, prevalence and distribution of cervical cancer will be discussed, as will the current literature regarding the correlation between and potential causative effects of human papillomavirus type 16 on cervical cancer. Some of the studies examined in this discussion focus almost entirely on specific populations, but this discussion will focus on a more global, universal approach to the correlation between HPV-16 and cervical cancer. The literature reviewed in this discussion focuses primarily on discoveries and ...

Opening Statements:

Pre-eclampsia is a condition that affects a significant percentage of mothers, and accounts for mother death during childbirth anywhere from fifteen to twenty percent of the time—pre-eclampsia is one of the most significant and important causes of maternal death during childbirth to this day (Sibai, Dekker & Kupferminc, 2005; Ghulmiyyah & Sibai, 2012). As such, it is immensely important to develop strategies to deal with the problem of pre-eclampsia, but it is also essentially important to develop strategies for dealing with education and prevention of the condition (Villar et al., 2003). There are a number of common conditions that are ...

Abstract

Heart failure (2.6% prevalent worldwide) is a complex clinical syndrome, resulting from a structural or functional cardiac disorder and impairing ventricular filling or ejection capability. The current case of a 59-year-old male patient admitted on August 18, 2016 due to worsening shortness of breath and bilateral left extremity edema (one week) involved an existing diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2). Physical and clinical profiles indicate a comorbidity between heart failure (HF) and DM2. Laboratory and imaging findings were not indicated, while diagnosis was based on the NYHA Classification guidelines. A review of literature revealed three crucial weaknesses in the diagnosis. ...

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that is related to serious traumatic events and is characterized by such symptoms as survivor guilt, reliving the trauma in dreams, numbness, and absence of involvement with reality, or recurrent thoughts and images. Research shows that reliable and modest gender differences exist in the growth of PTSD (Vishnevsky 110). Researchers also found that the risk of PTSD could vary in women because of type of trauma and prior history of trauma. However, the risk for PTSD in men is not much affected by the type of trauma and history of trauma. ...

DOWN SYNDROME & MALOCCLUSION

Down syndrome is a disease which is usually observed in the newborn. The disease arises as a result of some genetic disorder which reflects itself as trisomy of the chromosome number 21. This is one of the commonest chromosomal disorders observed among the human beings. Almost 1 or 2 children out of 1000 live births are born with this disease. The children born with this disease present with mental and physical impairment. These children also develop multiple oral problems like caries, malocclusion, periodontal diseases, loss of tooth and so on. Among all these abnormalities, malocclusion is a phenomenon that ...

A lot of technologies, gadgets, and devices being introduced today require the use of an individual’s vision, among other things such as hand to eye coordination, a perfectly working sense of hearing, and of course, the ability to understand how the device works and to actually manipulate it. Thanks to the advancements in teaching education and lifestyle modification for the people with visual impairments, these particular segment of the population can still have experience to have a near normal life—same as those who do not have visual impairments. It is important to note early at this point, however, that ...

Perhaps the most important advance in using new building materials is the development of concrete which is more durable.

The construction industry in the world is becoming modern and advance, however, there is still the problem of building defects which need to be addressed.
Defects to concrete facades of different buildings pose safety danger to the public; hence there is a need and formidable challenge to rethink on the issue. Successful remediation requires an adequate understanding of ...

Background

The inclusion of learners with special needs is gradually becoming a major concern to various governments (Holt, 2004). With the enactment of the Disability Discrimination act of 1992 and changes in community perceptions towards individuals with disability in Australia, mainstream primary educational institutions have had to prioritize children with disabilities’ inclusion (Forbes, 2007). Holt (2004) gives a social model definition of disability as the disadvantage or restriction of activity resulting from contemporary social organization which takes either little or no account of individuals with physical impairments thereby excluding them from mainstream social activities. Generally, children are considered learning disabled if they ...
