...The Interplay of Risk and Resilience Factors in Childhood Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Introduction The emotional disorders are termed the ‘internalising disorders’ and comprise depression and the anxiety disorders. Although the emotional disorders of childhood are discussed as separate entities, in reality it is not that easy to separate them because there is a lot of common ground. The reason they are seen as separate entities is due to the clinical approach of DSM IV. Often, in any given case, depression and anxiety are both present to some degree and there is also often overlap with the conduct disorders. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is categorised as one of the anxiety disorders. In most individuals with OCD, the picture is frequently mixed to a lesser or greater extent. OCD is highly co-morbid, with most studies finding up to 70% of children with OCD having at least one other disorder. Most common are other anxiety disorders, ADHD, developmental disabilities, conduct problems, substance abuse, depression and bipolar disorder (Swedo, Rapoport et al 1989). Any treatment programs for the OCD child must therefore take this into account and tailor the approach accordingly. The nature of childhood OCD and special problems faced Obsessions are unwanted, repetitive, intrusive thoughts, while compulsions involve repetitive, stereotyped behaviours that the child or adolescent feels compelled to perform. In the majority of youngsters with the disorder...

What are the relevant Facts? 2. What are the ethical Issues? 3. Offer your opinion on what actions should be taken (at least 2-3 paragraphs) Case Study 1 Incredible Shrinking Potato Chip Package Topic: Cost vs. price vs. value issues Characters: Julie, Brand Manager for potato chips at a regional salty snacks manufacturer Dave, Marketing Director for the regional salty snacks manufacturer Julie has been concerned about the profitability of the various items in her line of potato chips. According to her potato suppliers, the recent drought caused a 35 percent reduction in the potato crop compared to one year ago, resulting in a 25 percent hike in potato prices to large buyers like Julie’s company. Potatoes accounted for almost all of the content of her chips (which also consisted of vegetable oil, one of three different flavoring spices, and salt), plus there were packaging costs. To hold the line on margins, which of late had been slim at only about 5 percent due to fierce competition from several other local and regional brands, Julie would need to raise potato chip prices about 15 percent. On her most popular 7.5 oz. size, which had a price spot of $1.59 on the package, this would require a price hike of $.24, bringing the price up to $1.83. Julie wondered what would...

...ethics dvd entitled Henry’s Daughters. This 32-minute film dramatizes a case study involving numerous ethical dilemmas and concerns and is supplemented by discussion questions and other training materials designed to make the dvd an effective educational tool. This month’s column focuses on one of the situations depicted in Henry’s Daughters and explores the questions it raises from the perspective of ASCE’s Code of Ethics. SITUATION: A state department of transportation (DOT) has awarded two grants for the purpose of funding a yearlong “smart highway” research and development project. The project is organized as a competition between the two recipients; each is to prepare design specifications for an automated highway and car control system, and at the end of the year the DOT will award one recipient a $25-million contract to implement its design. To ensure the integrity of the competition and to protect each team’s intellectual property, the four DOT staff members assigned to this project are split equally between the grant recipients, each staff member providing help and input only to his or her team. Laura, a licensed professional engineer, is the project manager for the DOT’s smart highway project; her responsibilities include overseeing the four staff members assigned to the grant recipients as well as making recommendations to the DOT commissioner regarding the final award. Her younger sister, Julie, has recently accepted an internship with outocar, a small start-up company...

...FACULTY : FACULTY OF ACCOUNTANCY PROGRAM : MASTER OF ACCOUNTANCY COURSE: MANAGEMENT CONTROL AND DECISION MAKING COURSE CODE : MAC 700 Case Study 1 BATES BOATYARD Upon returning to civilian life after several years in the Navy, Sarah Bates sought a small business that she might buy. Being a thrifty person with no dependents, she had built up a fair amount of savings, the accumulation of which had been aided by the fact that she had seen considerable duty in areas where there had been nothing to buy. Bates finally located a small boatyard for sale in a town on the coast of Maine where she had spent many summers. The proprietor was getting along in years and wished to retire. He was offering the yard for sale at what Bates believed to be a fair starting price that could probably be worked down to a very reasonable figure through negotiation. It is not necessary here to go into the details of investigation and negotiation. Bates bought the yard. The business being somewhat larger than she could finance alone, she had borrowed the additional funds required from a friend, giving a mortgage on the property as security. Bates realized the need for adequate accounting records if she was to manage the business successfully. The records on hand were for cash receipts and disbursements only. Actual balance sheets and profit and loss statements that had been prepared for the former owner for tax purposes were also available. A person who was a reasonably capable bookkeeper and...

...Mark Jenkings Professor Renee Spraggins BEHS 453 February 12, 2015 Case Study 2 Who Is Responsible Ron was definitely on the right track after buying a pair of slacks from JC Penny’s because he was heading straight home. Also, he was kind of on the wrong track because instead of putting the bag in the trunk, he threw it in the back seat making it visible to the public if he was to pull over at the store or anywhere else. In this case, he did pull over at the store and someone happened to see a bag in the back seat and broke into his car. I wouldn’t give Ron 100% blame in this incident because in life things happen and he didn’t ask for anyone to break into his car. On the other hand, he should have put the bag in his trunk from the beginning and went straight home. Even if he didn’t go straight home, if the bag was in his trunk the robber possibly wouldn’t have stolen the bag. I give Ron 60% responsibility for his actions. In Bobby’s situation, he was specifically told by his parents on his day off of school to stay home and do not go anywhere. His first mistake was not listening to his parents and by going in his mother’s drawer and stealing money. Bobby is only 12 years old leaving the house not supervised he was definitely at risk. His intentions were pretty good by getting ready to treat Andy and Joey to the theatre but there’s a saying that people say and that’s “what goes around comes around”. By Bobby stealing money from his mom, the tables turned around...
