...Case Study #3: Type T Personalities Part 1: Read the following case study. FIVE. . .FOUR . . .THREE. . .TWO. . .ONE. . .SEE YA!” And Chance McGuire, 25, is airborne off a 650-ft. concrete dam in Northern California. In one second he falls 16 ft., in two seconds 63 ft., and after three seconds and 137 ft. he is flying at 65 m.p.h. He prays that his parachute will open facing away from the dam, that his canopy won’t collapse, that his toggles will be handy and that no ill wind will slam him back into the cold concrete. The chute snaps open, the sound ricocheting through the gorge like a gunshot, and McGuire is soaring, carving S turns into the air, swooping over a winding creek. When he lands, he is a speck on a path along the creek. He hurriedly packs his chute and then, clearly audible above the rushing water, lets out a war whoop that rises past those mortals still perched on the dam, past the commuters puttering by on the roadway, past even the hawks who circle the ravine. It is a cry of defiance, thanks and victory; he has survived another BASE jump. McGuire is a practitioner of what he calls the king of all extreme sports. BASE—an acronym for building, antenna, span (bridge) and earth (cliffs)—jumping has one of the sporting world’s highest fatality rates: in its 18-year history, 46 participants have been killed. Yet the sport has never been more popular, with more than a thousand jumpers in the U.S. and more seeking to get into it every day. It is an activity without...

LECTURER IN CHARGE: MR. OLATUNJI O.D. FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR SETUP OF A SOAP INDUSTRY INTRODUCTION The proposal on the establishment of a soap industry is based on the survey made by FAJUYAGBE TEMILOLA JOKE. The business will be a partnership business between two people (FAJUYAGBE TEMILOLA JOKE and NDDC). From the research that was carried out, it was discovered that Soap is one of the most commonly used chemical products in everyday endeavours. It has been produced in different forms: liquid, powder and bar; different colours, different sizes, different textures, different quality; so as to meet with the increasing demand for soap in Nigeria in particular and the world at large. Some soaps are mild and gentle on the skin but tough on germs (medicated soaps), some are tough on stains and harsh to the skin (particularly detergents) while some are gentle on the skin (toilet soap, liquid detergent etc.). Homes, Industries, Offices, Hospitals, Hotels, e.t.c all use soap on a daily basis. Soap is very essential in Medicine and the Pharmaceuticals where purity and cleanliness is very important. This has made the soap industry a lucrative industry with maximum profitability and minimal...

...Diabetes Mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases in which the patient experiences hyperglycemia resulting from a decrease in the secretion or use of insulin. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune or idiopathic disorder in which the body destroys the beta cells in the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas, leaving it to be unable to produce insulin. The disorder begins with insulitis, which is an inflammatory process that occurs due to the destruction of the islet cells, which contain the beta cells. In this process insulin production slowly stops and the patient begins to experience the symptoms of diabetes, such as hyperglycemia and ketosis, when 80-90% of the beta cells have been destroyed (LeMone, Burke, Bauldoff, & Gubrud-Howe, 2015).

...Risk Management at Wellfleet Bank The credit risk is one of the risk facing by Wellfleet Bank owning an important portfolio of debts. This risk is common to most of banks in a position of borrower or counter party in a loan agreement. Nevertheless, we can relativized on the fact that until recently, their credit risk has been well managed involving a positive counter performance in the turmoil of the global financial crisis of 2007 compare to others competitors. The fact is that the bank is growing aggressively their corporate finance area. Work load is well more important than expected and this situation may occur some negative consequences due to credit applications which might be made in a rush. Less time per application involve pressure on risk officer and managers who might do not fully examine each of them. Moreover, a large number of credit application approved can result in a Liquidity Risk when banks get too small amount of cash and cannot meet payment obligations for depositors or to lend. We can noticed that relationship managers “bring everything in from the street. On one side, such situations are positive and bring more clients to the bank but on the other side such situations are negative and might bring “too much” potential clients to the bank which would be denied. A certain level of denied credit application might have some social and ethical consequences. Applicants might do not understand the reject of their application after being “attracted” by a relationship...

...placed within 3 different groups, depending on what their characteristics are. One group is Type A, these people are hostile, impatient and competitive, Type B, who are laid back and easy going and then Hardy personality. Friedman and Rosenman (1974) investigated the links between type A behaviour patterns and coronary heart disease. Using 3200 Californian man, categorised as either Type A, Type B or Type X (a combination). They found that that out of the 257 men who had developed CHD 70% were Type A, twice the amount of type B. Showing that Type A behaviours increase vulnerability to heart disease. There are many problems with the study, such as, it’s androcentric, as the study is only performed on men Also it is a longitudinal study, so participants may drop out throughout the study, making the results unreliable. Another problem, is that’s structured interviews were performed to find out if the man was either type A or type B, structured interviews could result in interviewer effect, social desirability bias and demand characteristics, which can all make the results unreliable. Also a study to go against Friedman and Rosenman is Ragland and Brand (1988), who found that in the study they performed, 15% died, and there was no relationship between type A and dying. Regarding, the Hardy personality, Kobasa and Maddi (1977) put forward that not everyone could fit into either Type A or Type B. They believed that some people are more ‘hardy’ and better at dealing with stressful...

...Discuss the current knowledge of the contribution of cellular and molecular components of the immune system to the pathology of type 1 diabetes Abstract An autoimmune disease resulting in insulin deficiency, Type 1 diabetes mellitus. There have been countless studies into its causes; there is still no solid answer. Previous studies strongly implicated Th1 cells to play a key role in the progression of type 1 diabetes, however, recent studies have been showing that this is inadequate to explain the pathology of the autoimmune disease Type 1 diabetes. In fact other constituents of the immune system are accountable; Th17 cells play a huge role in the cellular pathology of Type 1 diabetes. Introduction Type 1 Diabetes mellitus is an autoimmune disease which results from faults in immune response thus activating self-destroying T cells working against beta cells that produce insulin in the pancreas, causing a deficiency in insulin. Patients of Type 1 diabetes are required to inject insulin daily. Diagnosis of type 1 diabetes can occur at any age; however it is a chronic disease that is most common in childhood (Atkins et al. 2014.) Discoveries from epidemiological studies in humans with type 1 diabetes have shown that islet cell destruction goes through a number of stages (Campbell et al. 1990) the consequent low levels of insulin lead to higher levels of blood glucose. Common symptoms of this disease are frequent urination, increased thirst and weight gain. Before symptoms become...

...and understanding how they create bias, has significant effects in the criminal justice system. It is desired to maximize the amount of correct decisions jurors render, For this reason, stereotyping is important to study in a jury setting. It is also imperative to study defendant gender and crime type, as a relationship between the two may influence jurors’ verdict decisions. Gordon, Bindrim, McNicholas and Walden (1988) conducted a study to determine the effect of defendant race and type of crime on juror verdicts. The independent variable was the type of crime (burglary or embezzlement) and defendant race (black or white), while the dependent variable was the recommended jail sentence. Crime descriptions that varied in crime type and defendant race where given to an equal number of black and white students to assess. Based on this, participants determined the defendant’s jail sentence and bail amount. The severity of the crime and the probability of the defendant repeating the crime were also scaled. The studies hypothesis was supported as the white embezzler received longer jail sentences in comparison to the black embezzler and the black burglar received longer jail sentence than the white burglar Gordon et al (1988). A strength in this study was having written case scenarios where variables were easily controlled. Controlling variables increases precision and decreases inaccuracies that can negatively impact overall results. A...

...Outline and evaluate research into personality types and stress related illness. (12 marks) Friedman and Rosenman identified two types of personality that relate to individual responses to stress these were type A and type B. Type A personalities are said to be impatient, competitive, ambitious, aggressive, find it hard to relax. In contrast, type B personalities are the opposite, being less driven, more easy going, patient and able to relax. Friedman and Rosenman conducted a longitudinal study in which 3000 middle aged men in california were examined for signs of CHD, while there personalities were also assessed using a structured interview. The findings showed after 81/2 years, twice as many type A participants had died of cardiovascular problems. while over 12% of type A participants had experiencedd a heart attack compared to just 6% of type B participants. Friedman and Rosenman concluded that Type A behaviour signifcantly increased the risk of coronary heart disease, and that personality types can contributre to stress related illness. A strenght of this study is its sample size as there is a increase in population validity. This is because 3000 participants were used which therefore provides a more representative set of results. However on the other hand a criticism of this study is it also lack external validity as all the participants were male therefore it cant be generalised to other cultures. Furthermore a study which is against Friedman and Rosenman is Myrtek...

...1. Cross-sectional studies (also known as cross-sectional analyses, transversal studies, prevalence study) form a class of research methods that involve observation of all of a population, or a representative subset, at one specific point in time. They differ from case-control studies in that they aim to provide data on the entire population under study, whereas case-control studies typically include only individuals with a specific characteristic, with a sample, often a tiny minority, of the rest of the population. Cross-sectional studies are descriptive studies (neither longitudinal nor experimental). Unlike case-control studies, they can be used to describe, not only the Odds ratio, but also absolute risks and relative risks from prevalences (sometimes called prevalence risk ratio, or PRR).[1][2] They may be used to describe some feature of the population, such as prevalence of an illness, or they may support inferences of cause and effect. Longitudinal studies differ from both in making a series of observations more than once on members of the study population over a period of time. Cross-sectional studies in medicine Cross-sectional studies involve data collected at a defined time. They are often used to assess the prevalence of acute or chronic conditions, or to answer questions about the causes of disease or the results of medical intervention. They may also be described as censuses. Cross-sectional studies may involve special data collection, including questions about...
