ADHD is a behavioral disorder that exhibits a severe long-term effect on victims. The condition poses, even more, grave consequences on the health of females than males. Therefore, given that it can progress unnoticed during childhood, there is the need to conduct a thorough assessment to enable accurate diagnosis. Diagnosis is usually made using the Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fourth Edition-Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) criteria. An in-depth exploration of all the possible treatment recommendations begins after the diagnosis. In the treatment of DHD detected in the patient in the case study, various approaches can be considered. Usually, the treatment of ...

Entrapment occurs when a government agent or someone in authority such as law enforcement and undercover police improperly coerces, influences, manipulates or induces an individual to commit a crime which they would have otherwise committed had the opportunity to do not been availed to them (Colvin, 2002, p. 226). Hence, from this definition, the “buy and bust” or “sell and bust” undercover operations may be considered as entrapment since they entail the inducement of a person to commit an offense, such as dealing in or purchasing of illegal drugs. Furthermore, as Hay (2005) observes, sting or undercover operations by ...

SWOT Analysis

The SWOT analysis is a tool used in the evaluation of the internal environment, where the organization conducts an analysis of its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. The Sony retail company in London has low product diversification, making it vulnerable in the face of the businesses that have a broad range of goods. The threat posed by the competitors is real. Many players in the DVD/CD and video games market have emerged, and the management is concerned that it is becoming extremely hard to retain dominance of the market (Williams and Chinn, 2010, P.426). Several Substitute products are available ...

Introduction

In their attempt to identify appropriate research approaches in politics, feminists have often criticized traditional social science methodologies. In her article on women and democracy and the patriarchal welfare state, Carole Pateman raises the issue of the highly patriarchal political scene. She indicates that the positive and social democratic perspective is that a welfare state provides social meaning and equal worth to the political and juridical rights of all citizens. A second, more pessimistic, view on the welfare state, according to Pateman (1987) is that it provides the government with new approaches to exercising power over and governing the ...

Final Test

Explain in general terms the process of DNA replication. The replication of the DNA starts when the double helix unwinds. Each of the two strands serves as the template using which the new DNA double helix strands are formed. The different bases on each of the two strands are then matched in order to form a new set of two strands. Each of the new strands partners with the parent strand to form a double helix (Roth 26).

Introduction

Fair play in business practices is essential to the maintenance of a self-sustainable corporate environment. Precisely, all the parties involved in any business activity need to embrace ethical principles while following the legal provisions in any commercial venture. With this in mind, it is worth acknowledging the fact that Kallestad breached the fundamental provisions of an implied warranty by selling substandard products to Peter and Tanya Rothing. According to Murthy and Blischke (2006), an implied warranty is a contract arising from the operation of the law guaranteeing that the goods to be sold are merchantable and are appropriate for ...

Introduction

Auditing is one of the most important elements in any police department. Both the law enforcement and individual offices should always be held responsible and accountable for their own actions. Effective auditing procedures are very vital if all the policing departments are to achieve their set objectives and goals of legitimacy and lawfulness as required by the national policing authority (National Council, 2004). Lawfulness alludes to consistence with the formal prerequisites of the law, including statutes and court choices. Legitimacy alludes to the recognition that police behavior is both legal and reliable with open desires. Responsibility is acknowledged through ...

The structural-functionalists theory holds that the family is the backbone of the society while the social conflict approach places the family at the center of operations in the community. The two approached concur that one of the fundamental functions of the family is the reproduction for the society to continue existing. In this regards, studying family calls for in-depth research on reproduction. For instance, the roles parents play in the reproduction shapes the perception the society develops towards men and women. For example, Hay (40) noted that modern day, mothers face two socially constructed cultural perceptions that the community ...

Various artists practice the distinct combination of letters and figures and employment of words as part of the features of their practices in art.

Me gustaría comparar dos obras clásicas, el uno de cine, y el otro de la literatura. Para la comparación, he elegido el libro “Don Quijote” de Cervantes y la película de Jeunet “Amélie” ("Amélie (2001)"). En mi opinión, estas dos obras hablan de los mismo valores, y sus temas están estrechamente relacionados. Los temas que se plantean por el autor y el director no tienen una fecha de caducidad, son importantes en todo momento. Me puse un fin de hacer claramente los fundamentos de las obras algunos de los detalles y ...

Abstract

In the recent times, scientists in the discipline of artificial intelligence are confused which approach closely imitates the structure of a human brain. The best two approaches are bottom-up, or the top-down, and they comprise of both their advantages and disadvantages. The top-down approach has the capability to perform high-level tasks since it is programmed (Russell et.al 27). On the contrary, the bottom-up approach is capable of modeling the lower-level human functions such as motor control, image recognition, and learning capabilities. Each method operates perfectly where the other method is imperfect. Therefore, to establish the advantages and disadvantages of ...

The Modern Period in art is set at the period between 1870-1970. No distinct style could be established or described during this period. Yet, at the same time, one would know during which period a particular artist was known for his artworks. Such artists under discussion here would be Jean-Francois Millet. Two others that could be grouped into this period (specifically the French artists) are Georges Seurat, and Paul Gauguin. These three artists are isolated here, specific to the discussion their representations of the working class in modern art. More so, the shift of this representation is discussed here. ...

The paper summarizes a Wall Street Journal article by William Neuman on organic milk. The article presents important information on the effects of costs of production and pure competition in the short run. Farmers who are involved in supplying organic milk operate in a pure competition type of market. Therefore, if there is milk shortage, a whole country or organic milk market can be largely affected. The shortage causes an instantaneous rise in prices per liter of the organic milk. The main reason for the shortage of organic milk is that the costs for organic grains as well as ...

Daniel Goleman starts his article asking two rhetorical questions. The first asks “What do effective leaders do?” The second question asks “What should leaders do?” Goleman retains that these two questions are relatively easy for people studying leadership to answer. But the real purpose of the essay is to answer “how?” This is because the “mystery of what leaders can and ought to do in order to spark the best performance from their people is age-old,” (Goleman 78). He goes to on to write about how there is an emergence of leadership experts trying to offer advice to young ...

The USS Maine and US intervention in Cuba

The battle cry “Remember the Maine and to hell with Spain” was a potent rallying point for American war hawks to intervene in Cuban affairs starting 1895. History lessons in America’s schools proffer that the attack and destruction of the American warship USS Maine is the reason that justified American military intervention in the country. However, though the instance is inarguable, the reasons as to why the US declared war on Spain as well as the hoped for objectives are ambiguous; these areas of US historical foreign policy remains an issue of intense debate even to the ...

According to Cameron & Quinn, (1999) the most successful companies are the ones that have a sustained profitability, which is higher than the normal kind of financial returns. These firms have their financial returns, and they have unique characteristics where there are certain well-defined conditions. The entries of these companies are higher than normal, and this is because they have higher costs of entry that make it harder for new players to enter the market. Further studies by Watson (1994) indicate that they point out in this case that they in most cases deal with the kind of goods that ...

The journal articles mainly look at the issues of the media and the efforts that have been made so far to facilitate balance of the on the content and the audience. The content being displayed on the screens depends on the target audience and on what they want to see rather than what they need to know.

These movements have fought tooth and nail over the last decades to make the straight America to accept and embrace their sexuality as normal form of sexual expression just like them.

Festivals make part of the lives of people in different societies whether modern or traditional. They have been manifest in all societies from time immemorial, ingrained in their belief systems and ways of life.

We live in a world of uncertainty today. Trust, honesty, goodwill, etc. are all qualities, which have ceased to be relevant to us any longer in their traditional definitions. The coming of the Internet has definitely helped the finance industry by speeding up communication, but at the same time, this speeding up has made us susceptible to many gimmicks and devices. We are lured by advertisements and end up spending fortunes in purchasing things, which we do not require or will not be productive in our cultures. This social nature of individuals is has been well expressed by P.T. Barnum ...

The artwork that I am going to present in this paper is a painting by Dale Nichols “While the Sun Shines” that he created in 1936.

Individual Effects of Incarceration

Prisons are becoming an increasingly hostile place, which leads prisoners to undergo various psychological changes in order to cope (Haney, 2002). In particular, Haney (2002) posits that prisoners tend to become too dependent on the institutional structure and contingencies that they lose their sense of independence or self-initiative. They also tend to lose their personal value and self-worth. In addition, they tend to become hyper vigilant, suspicious, and distrusting (Haney, 2002). They tend to be too controlling of their emotions, feel alienated, or psychologically distance themselves. They tend to withdraw from other people and to ...

A practitioner is often regarded as an individual who is involved in practicing something, which could be a technique, profession or an occupation.

At this context, a practitioner is taken to be the one involved in practicing a profession. Practitioners emerge from scholars. At a closer perspective, a scholar is an erudite or learned individual who possesses profound knowledge within a specific or known subject. This leads to an understanding of a scholar-practitioner as one professional experience that is ideal motivated by ethical conducts, political commitments, ...

In Shakespearean plays, the Fool is a recurring character who is often thought of as the comic relief; while clever and witty, these characteristics are heightened to create silly, broad personalities whose bumbling and wacky antics bring great humor to his works. The character of Nick Bottom in William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream is the quintessential fool. Despite the subtle humor of many other characters in the play (Puck, for example), Nick Bottom has very on-the-nose, sensational humor in his repertoire. He is far from the primary focus of the play; he is the main character of the subplot ...

Holistic assessment refers to a global approach in the assessment of a student learning outcome. According to Sadler (2009), in holistic assessment the teacher or the assessor has to develop complex mental responses to a student’s work. Consequently, this will include how the assessor appreciates the work from the student regarding the quality of the work. When grading the students work, the assessor provides a grade and supports it with a valid justification for assigning the grade. The rationale may include a summary of the work or comments highlighting the main point in the student’s work. Meyers and Nulty (2009) suggest that ...
