...step is often the procedure of organ transplantation. There is a multiplicity of views on brain death and subsequent organ transplantation, with each culture’s beliefs shaping its own medical practices; these differing stances often lead to ethical debates. Background Brain death was first described in the 1950s by two French physicians, Mollart and Goulon, who termed it as “coma depasse,” a state beyond coma and differentiated it from “coma prolonged,” a continual vegetative state (Ganapathi 10). The Harvard Ad Hoc Committee later reported two definitions of death: the “traditional” cardio-pulmonary death and “brain death” (Lock 138). In 1981, the Report of the Medical Consultants on the Diagnosis of Death to the US President's Commission reevaluated death, advocating that the diagnosis of brain death should not be distinguished from the death of “the organism as a whole” (Death, dying and donation 9). Over the years, medical personnel have come to view brain death as the death of the brain stem, and diagnose it by examining the function of nerves that originate in the brain stem (Death, dying and donation 10). Further, there is no “golden rule” regarding confirmatory and clinical tests on brain dead patients, but tests such as electroencephalogram (EEG), cerebral...

...people resist straight forward facts and figures due to personal or psychological prejudices even in the daunting face of hazards and vulnerabilities. We have seen those who laughed or are silent at the proposal for the discipline of Crisisology for ‘wont’ of analyses and intelligence. Others include: * The belief that Crisisology is a temporary call and that the initiator is incompetent regardless of its benefits; * Fear of loss of authority or control of social or academic standing? * Feeling of change overload (too much too soon); * Lack of trust or dislike for the concept of Crisisology; * Great idea but not for us? * Its below ‘our’ standards; * It cannot be guaranteed. We noticed all these from our interactions, diagnosis and inferences and we are not surprised that many of them – the practitioners, researchers, and educators in the fields of crisis management, emergency management, disaster management, and catastrophe management are slow in responding to calls for a serious debate regarding the matter of Crisisology becoming a professional/academic discipline. Collaborative Crises Firstly, academicians in particular are slow in responding to substantially new and radical concepts. They often want to see what research is being conducted by others in a given area, and would subsequently need to corroborate those finding by doing their own research. They do not want to stick their academic necks out there until they think it is safe to do so. The 'organized'...

Companies have numerous ways of communicating with both its internal and external customers. External communication in a facility can include media, advertising, and marketing. Each organization has its own way of communicating, either formal or non-formal. According to DuPre`, “In each case, communication has become a valuable means of establishing and pursuing important goals,” (p.71).

For the external communication, a company has their own web page that allows them to access information and locate covered providers in their area.

Plag. “Family Separation and Reunion: Families of Prisoners of War and Servicemen Missing in Action”. Washington, D.C.: U.S. Government Printing Office, 1975. Print. This book delves into the lives of children that have an absence of their fathers caused by the assignment of the military. These authors pinpoint some of the difficult obstructions these children have to face while these men are MIA (missing in action). They talk about the adjustment and the adapting to the prolonged and seemingly indefinite absence of a father, and how a relationship between a father and child changes over the long period of time until the veteran returns. Moreover, they collected data from 42 families of returned prisoners of the Vietnam War and attempted to identify a combination of factors that could explain the variability in the quality of the father-child relationship subsequent to the returning from the War. This information from this book will help convey emotional lives that these children have to endure. This book will strengthen my research by pointing out how children are affected when there is a nonattendance of one of the parents for a long period of time. Bowen, L. Gary, Dennis K. Orthner.

...6/8/12 What are moral panics? What are 'moral panics'? Hayley Burns If we do not take steps to preserve the purity of blood, the Jew will destroy civilisation by poisoning us all. (Hitler, 1938) Surely if the human race is under threat, it is entirely reasonable to segregate AIDS victims, otherwise the whole of mankind could be engulfed. (The Daily Star, 2 December 1988) Although an extreme illustration, the above quotes serve to set up the creation of a 'moral panic'. Just as Hitler's 'facts' were unfounded, so too were The Daily Star and what resulted from both incidents was, in effect, the persecution of two minority groups within society. Hitler's quote stemmed from the use of propaganda, and although it would be fair to say that the essence of what is termed 'propaganda' does not exist in such a force today, it is nevertheless evident that what was quoted from The Daily Star is tantamount to propaganda. Throughout history, the mass media industry has been utilised as a tool to appeal to the public at large, particularly in the field of politics, where people in a position of power can tempt society into believing what they want them to believe. As Eldridge describes "The media, wittingly or unwittingly, reproduce the definitions of the powerful." [Eldridge 1997: 65] This document will examine not only the essence and origin of the term 'moral panic' but the very important nature of the media's involvement in the whole process of creating a 'moral panic'. It was Stanley...

...Windshield Assessment Boundaries .7 The boundaries for this neighborhood are mainly physical with commercial streets; the main roads being New Hampshire avenue, the 495 beltway, and route 29. It is known as the Hillandale and white oak neighborhood. The prominent apartment complexes in this community are “the chateau apartments,” “the Avery Apartments,” and “the White Oak Apartments. The economic boundaries of this community are distinct with the back roads consisting of higher income independent housing while the frontline buildings happen to be low-middle income apartment complexes and town houses. Housing and Zoning 1 The age of the housing ranges from the 1990s to the 1980s. The buildings are evenly spread throughout the small communities. Most of the housings are apartment complexes or townhouses with a few roadside independent housing. These houses are multifamily dwellings, mostly with brick and wood exteriors, the traditional housing style. The lawns and surroundings are well groomed without any disrepair. They have roadside parking in front of the apartments, and they seem to be very crammed in one specific apartment complex (Avery apartments). There seem to be vacant apartments as evidenced by the “now leasing” board displayed, but there aren’t any houses on sale. There aren’t any open drainage ditches or gutters. There are appropriate streetlights and sidewalks...

...Abnormal Psychology 2300 The Diagnosis of Edward Gein Rainy River Community College Delaney Peters 13 November 2013 Edward Theodore Gein was born to Augusta and George Gein on August 27th, 1906 in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Edward had an older brother named Henry. George Gein was a violent alcoholic who was frequently unemployed. Augusta on the other hand followed to a different beat she was a very religious individual whom had very harsh opinions on other women. Often times, Augusta would refer to other woman as prostitutes and instruments of the devil. According to Dr. George Arndt, a psychiatrist that studied the case of Edward Gein, Augusta’s obsessive and negative perspective on women rubbed off on her children, more specifically on Edward. She reserved time every afternoon to read her children verses from the bible, usually selecting graphic verses from the Old Testament dealing with death, murder and divine retribution. Without surprise, Edward himself became a target for bullies. Classmates and teachers recalled off-putting mannerisms, such as seemingly random laughter, as if he were laughing at his own personal jokes. Despite his poor social development, he did surprisingly well in school and was often viewed as an average academic student. Many sources cite that Edward’s mother Augusta often beat her children because she was convinced that they were going to become just like their father, a drunken failure...

Even worse, in a recent randomized clinical-trial studying anti-psychotic for effectiveness it was reported that 74% of those prescribed medication discontinued use after 18 months (Roe, Goldblatt, Baloush-Klienman, Swarbrick & Davidson, 2009). But for many patients more medication means additional side effects, less freedom and change in their view of themselves. Professionals taking care of these individuals in acute care or long-term settings are left wondering how this vicious cycle can be stopped. In order to further comprehend why individuals suffering from serious mental illness make the decision to discontinue their medication researchers developed a study based on the interview of seven participants with the diagnosis of either Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorder or Bipolar...

...Artificial Intelligence and The Future of Humanity Artificial intelligence is the human-like intelligence demonstrated by machines and man made software. The artificial intelligence field is interdisciplinary meaning that it combines two or more academic disciplines or fields of study, in which a number and professions mesh together, including computer science, psychology, linguistics, philosophy and neuroscience, as well as other specialized fields such as artificial psychology. Major artificial intelligence researchers and textbooks define this field as the study and design of intelligent agents, where as an intelligence agent is a system that checks out its environment and takes the necessary actions that maximizes the chances of success(Artificial Intelligence, A.G. Cohn, R. Dechter). Now, this person John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1955, defined it as the science and engineering of making intelligent machines. Artificial intelligence research is very highly technical and specialized, and is deeply divided into sub fields that usually often fail to communicate with each other. Some of the division is due to social and cultural factors meaning that it will or will not function because of our multicultural race. Some sub fields have grown up around particular institutions and the work of individual researchers. Artificial intelligence research is also divided by several technical issues. Some sub fields focus on the solution of specific problems. Others focus on one...
