The Bayesian method, also known as Bayesian method, is an inferential rule that is commonly used whenever an update is required within any probability estimate (Cohen et al. 12-57). The estimates are done on hypotheses whenever additional evidence is in the process of acquisition. This technique is majorly used in statistics and more especially mathematical statistics. In most of the cases involving the usage of Bayesian method requires, that it be derived through statistical methods. The derivation is usually automatic and ensures that the method well in combination with other competing methods that could have otherwise been used. This ...

There are numerous disorders that plague the world today. There is so much that individuals are expected to interact with and understand that it can be staggering and overwhelming. The sad truth is that there are people who suffer; they must struggle on a daily basis with a problem that they have no true understanding of. Beyond that, people in the medical world are expected to understand these problems on a different level, exactly what is causing the problems that their patients are dealing with.

Amongst mentally ill patients at high risk for early readmission, does the utilization of a multi-component transition care plan as compared to usual care help to improve early readmission rates?

Abstract

The early hospital readmission rate in a 30-bed psychiatric unit in California is 25%. This figure is higher than the 13% reported in the literature for high-income countries like the US (Vigod et al., 2013). Early readmissions are problematic as they are costly and disruptive to the personal and professional lives of patients and their family members. In addition, they are construed to be negative patient outcomes and negative indicators of ...

Introduction

At present time, our social network is often determined by the level of our online presence and the social circles we belong to online. Although social networking may have its benefits, it also has disadvantages, including the onset of stress and depression, sometimes even suicide, due to various factors including cyber bullying. Within this context, social networking is a double-edged sword. While it can help people achieve social support to lean on, social networking in the 21st Century could aggravate mental health problems or place us at risk for developing mental disorders.

Introduction

Libya is considered one of the most underperforming among the Arab nations with a significant reservoir of oil. Prior to 2011, the country was ruled by a dictator, and this led to scant attention being paid to the country’s infrastructure. The country also faced significant economic sanctions from 1991 till 2006, for supporting terrorism. Though things began to improve after 2006, the situation in the country remained poor with the result that the aviation sector failed to develop, in spite of the size of the country.

Introduction

Researchers and educationists would appreciate more knowledge concerning factors that may enhance or otherwise hinder deep involvement by students in contemporary learning processes (Jonassen & Land, 2012). The present society structure is leading to situations where adults and even older adults may continue to be expected to be productive within national labor forces. Such situational forecasts underscore the need to comprehensively understand the effects of learning environments on adult learning.
In educational ideology, a theory that illustrates the existent interactions between the environment and the learner is the practice theory. Given that 21st Century educational needs are unique in comparison ...

Introduction

Human Immunodeficiency Virus, or HIV, is a virus that weakens the immune system in humans. This is accomplished as the virus attacks the cells that fight infection and diseases. As a virus, it is similar in nature to other viruses, such as the flu. Unlike other viruses, however, the symptoms associated with HIV do not improve over time as HIV reproduces by systematically overtaking the cells within the host body. HIV does not heal and once an individual is infected, that individual will live the remainder of their life with this virus (aids.gov, n.d.).
The symptoms associated with HIV may ...

The Common Core State Standards Initiative (also known by its other name, the “Common Core”) is a comprehensive list of things that students should know in language arts and mathematics only—the Common Core does not deal with science, languages, physical education, and so on (Mathis, 2010). The “Common Core” is the curriculum that an educational assembly in the United States has decided is appropriate for students of each grade level across the United States (Bomer & Maloch, 2011). The Common Core has been incredibly controversial since its inception, but has been introduced in a number of states in grades K-12. The ...

Lack of Equipment Failure and Potential Resolution
A major problem within a clinical trial is an equipment failure. In a clinical trial related to cardiovascular diseases, Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a major equipment used to study particular heart defects. Failure or inaccuracy of the equipment may lead to improper treatment or even lead to fatal issue and death in rare cases. EKG readings form the basis for interpretation of a particular hear defect. ECG is required for detecting electrical activity in the heart, this in turn if not functioning properly may produce inaccurate results. ECG malfunctioning was reported due to battery failure as ...
