Hemineglect also referred to as hemiagnosia, hemispatial neglect or spatial neglect is an attention deficit syndrome that results because of an earlier acquired brain injury (Vleet, DeGutis, Dabit and Chiu, 2014). This is normally the case with 67% of all individuals with right-hemisphere brain damage (Vleet, DeGutis, Dabit and Chiu, 2014). The neglect is a compilation of similar spatial and non-spatial concentration deficits, which result after injury to the interconnected cortical or sub-cortical areas (Vleet, DeGutis, Dabit and Chiu, 2014). Patients will thus not be able to be aware of anything that exists in that neglected space.

A. Background

The theory of Self-care Deficit was developed by Dorothea Orem. This theory states that a self-care deficit occurs when the patient or the guardians of dependents are unable to meet the requisites for self-care (Edney, Jaime & Young, n.d.). When this happens, nursing help is needed. More specifically, nursing care is used to help people enhance their self-care abilities, which they would need for survival and for maintaining their well-being and their quality of life.

Born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1914, Orem completed her diploma program from the Providence High School of Nursing and later received her bachelor’s and ...

What is the relationship between free trade and trade deficit? (2 pgs)

Free trade and the trade deficit are associated through their mutual relationship with the economics of a market. Contrary to what many might believe, a trade deficit translates directly to debt for those within a country. The growth of a trade deficit is often a sign of extreme growth within an economy. To how much of a degree a country decides to restrict or allow the free trade of goods can have a direct influence on the trade deficit of the country. Free trade agreements allow countries to trade with one another under fewer restrictions, with the purpose of increasing the amount of trade that is done ...

While there seems to be nothing to unhinge the economic development, whether in a global or regional context, now that military conflicts are history. Countries engage in mutually profitable trade relationships and enter into trade blocs, conduct strategic planning, develop their respective economies; however, a miscalculation on the part of one country can precipitate the entire region into economic crisis that inflicts all types of damage on the productive capacity, exports, and social welfare. The Asian Financial Crisis of 1997 was one of such regional disturbances that did serious economic damage to countries like China, Japan, Indonesia, and Malaysia. The reason ...

This represents a significant concern for ...

Aging affects episodic memory, which is memory pertaining to the specific events and experiences occurring with time. Even though most older adults hold he belief that such memories regarding remote occurrences are good as compared to their memories (recent events), it is possible that the older memories become semantic. This results to retaining the integral information even though it lacks finer details, precisely temporal and spatial contexts. The older memories in this case join the scope of things, which people ‘know’. The problematic issues of older adults include the remembrance of contexts and subsequent source information. In cases of ...

There exists a difference between federal government’s debt and deficit and most people tend to confuse these two. The differences are outlined as below.

A myriad of baffling questions foster educated inquiries regarding the types of causes for schizophrenia, in terms of neurological foundations. Psychiatry and neuropsychological research continues to engage professionals in exploring the role of the frontal lobes in schizophrenia. While more questions persist than answers, it appears that the elements of memory and behavior correlate in ways that bond to either a region or function that is important in the disorder. According to medical researcher, Dr. Raphael Bonelli (2007) “schizophrenia, and mood disorders may result from disturbances that have a direct or indirect impact on the integrity or functioning of” various loops ...

Introduction

Globalization and other factors are driving international businesses and trade. In that respect, multinationals are increasingly becoming subject to factors that are not only born in their home country, but also from host countries as well as markets within which they sell their products. One such factor is the exchange rate that determines the value of the payments that exporters receive for their international sales as well as the value those importers pays for their purchases from foreign markets. In that view, it is becoming crucial for managers and business leadership to establish suitable strategies for managing the risks ...

Despite the fact that the human body possesses a remarkable capability, there is a need to understand the fact that there are certain disorders that prejudice the body’s functioning capability. Autism occurs as one of the disorders that impair the ability of an individual’s body to function normally. While much has been hypothesized regarding autism, it is of the essence to note that it primarily connotes to a disorder that presents with a spectrum of symptoms such as repetitive and restrictive behavioural patterns, and tenacious deficits in social interaction skills across different contexts. The most pressing concern with regards to autism ...

Abstract

Amnesia is a condition characterized by memory loss or inability to form new memories that can be caused by organic or functional factors. Organic factors that cause amnesia include brain injuries from physical trauma or medical condition. Functional factors are psychological responses to traumatic events or internal conflicts. Although the cause of amnesia is clear when memory is impaired by organic factors, the role of physiological processes in dissociative amnesia is still controversial. This paper aims to provide an overview of amnesia and the physiological processes that can explain how functional factors affect the brain and impair memory recovery. ...

- Introduction The subject of this study concerns some of the most serious pavement deficiencies: alligator cracking, bleeding, and potholes.

The case study focuses on alligator cracking, potholes, and bleeding in an effort to explain their impact on pavement, as well as how they are remedied. In an effort to better understand the detriment these issues cause, a local two-lane road was studied for evidence of distress and damage. ...

Abstract

The essay discusses short-term memory (STM) and other aspects that are related to it. There has been considerable research done on STM, however, a lot more needs to be done in certain areas. The short-term memories carry a different process related to long-term memories. Short-term memory is often used in place of working memory, but the two are different. Short-term memory refers to only the temporary loading of information while working memory refers to not only temporary storage, but also manipulating information. The paper looks at different experiments related to STM, the impact of word-length effect and the distinctions between STS ...

Introduction

The U.S. is moving ahead on a dangerous budget path. With the current spending and debt already treacherously high, the future debts are expected to rise even higher. It is certainly a serious matter when public debt is expected to reach 90 % of GDP (Boccia). The implications would be severe as the larger debts would increase interest rates, horde private investment and raise price inflation. U.S. policymakers should take lessons from Greece and Japan to avoid a fiscal crisis and economic stagnation that occurs due to public debt overhang. Growing federal debt in U.S. could lead to a sudden fiscal crisis, and this ...
