Safety planning with children and adolescents in domestic violence shelters. Violence and Victims, 27(6), 831-48. Retrieved from http://search.proquest.com/docview/1243100843?accountid=14872 Authors Chanmugam and Hall (2012) took on the responsibility of researching youth of who are lodged in domestic violence shelters and behavior is impacted by it. For example, they have “problems in several domains, including externalizing and internalizing problems, posttraumatic stress symptoms, and lower social competence and academic achievement” (p. 831). Yet, with the youth being housed in domestic violence shelters along side their mother’s, one may think that their behavior would turn from being negative more into a positive outcome which would lead to less social impediments. Besides, this article will impact my research by highlighting how their living conditions in the shelters stimulate the cause-and-effect of psychosis in domestic violence with them being the antagonist. Even though, they are victims of this behavior, the added question remains and that is how does the intervention that is offered transform them? For the simple fact, the resolve of intervention methods should serve as a buffer to aid in...

...transforms text into conceptual representation. In this paper, we propose a Text Understanding System for Malay Language. The system comprises of two components: Morphology Analyzer and Semantic Text Interpreter. Some initial evaluation experiments were conducted on these components to gain explanatory insights into its performance. All the current text processing systems we reviewed are focused on preliminary algorithms and rules associated to lexical, morphological and syntax analysis. In our paper, we developed an integrated approach for a text understanding system that has the ability to represent the semantics of the text. Keywords-Natural Language Understanding; Morphology Interpretation. Processing; Semantic Analysis; Semantic Text Text I. INTRODUCTION The development of fast algorithms to understand and exploit the content of a document, and extracting useful information is very critical. In recent years, development in the area of semantic analysis of natural language text has triggered many applications in Text Mining, Summarization, Text Understanding, Information Retrieval and Extraction. Extracting actionable insight from large highly dimensional data sets, and its use for more effective...

Working smarter not harder is one way to be efficient. The author of this peer reviewed article, an expert in the field based on his education, title and position, discusses not only the truth about healthcare and its revenue and spending, but brings to light a new outside-of-the-box idea for reducing waste. As a future nurse and healthcare administrator, I found this article intriguing and unique. Even though this article grew out of a turnaround for one healthcare system, others nationwide would be wise to adopt and follow its discoveries. First, Dr. Kaplan and his board identified their current management procedures benefited themselves, employees, vendors, rather than their patients. To resolve this, his board adopted the production and management methods of Toyota, the leading carmaker, in identifying their target consumer, their patients, and ways to identify, reduce if not eliminate waste. Following in Taiichi Ohno’s footsteps, the father of the Toyota production method, Dr. Kaplan and his board focused on reducing and...

...Amanda Pacholski DB #1- Module #1 Key Topic Definition Motivation, according to Merriam-Webster online, is “the act or process of giving someone a reason for doing something."(Merriam-Webster) Summary of Selected Article The article titled "Entrepreneurial Motivations: What Do We Still Need to Know?" written by Alan Carsrud and Malin Brännback, discusses the under researched area of entrepreneurial motivation. With this article, Carsrud and Brännback, "attempts to renew interest in a line of research that largely has been ignored for two decades but which is critical to the study of entrepreneurial cognitions, intentions, and their conversion into entrepreneurial behaviors," and "that area is entrepreneurial motivation"(Carsrud et al. 2011). They do this by showing how "entrepreneurial motivations are important explanatory mechanisms for a variety of entrepreneurial behaviors," and "how such motivations may impact both intentions and subsequent behaviors"(Carsrud et al. 2011). This was written in hopes of getting researchers to remember entrepreneurial motivations and their greater role in an entrepreneur's behaviors. Discussion about Selected Article According to Ward (2011), a business owner's motivation will change during the owner's life cycle with the business. For a person to want to become a business owner or to become an entrepreneur, they have to have some sort of motivation behind it. Carsrud and Brännback are challenging researchers to dig a bit deeper, to...

...because mild and moderate brain injuries do not show up on CT or other imaging devices, doctors and even family members are often skeptical that any real damage exists. TBI is real and affects a large percentage of veterans returning from war. “Consistent with the designation of TBI as one of the signature injuries of the war theaters in Iraq and Afghanistan, 46% of the returning veterans recruited for this project screened positive for a deployment-related TBI” (Morissette, Woodward, & Kimbrel, Meyer, Kruse, 2011, p. 346). I have deployed multiple times to Iraq and Afghanistan and have sustained injuries in result of Improvised Explosive Devices (IED’s) and mortar attacks. Shortly after returning home, my family and close friends noticed that I was no longer the same person. Even though my family and friends asked me to go see a doctor, I refused to go, I felt like there was nothing wrong with me. A few years after being discharged from the military, I started to notice the changes that my family and friends have been talking about. One...

...The Chernobyl Disaster Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow Written by: Heather Stover ENG135 October 2012 Professor Spencer Robinson Twenty-six years ago in April of 1986 the city of Chernobyl, located in north-central Ukraine on the Pripyat River, was virtually unknown. It was just an obscure city that you and I would never have known existed. Almost incidentally, the name of this city was attached to the V.I. Lenin Nuclear Power Plant located about twenty-five kilometers upstream from the city of Chernobyl. On April 26, the city's anonymity vanished forever when, during a test at 1:21 A.M., the No. 4 reactor exploded and released thirty to forty times the radioactivity of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This was due to the flawed reactor design in use at the plant. The world first learned of history's worst nuclear accident from Sweden, where abnormal radiation levels were registered at one of its nuclear facilities. (Adams, 1996) Ranking as one of the greatest industrial accidents of all time, the Chernobyl' disaster and its impact on the course of events for the Soviets can hardly be exaggerated. No one can predict what will finally be the exact number of human victims. Thirty- one lives were lost immediately, although it was initially reported as only two and the others were to have died from acute radiation poisoning. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians, Russians, and Belorussians had to abandon entire cities and...

...Running Head: STUDENT PAPER EXAMPLE This is an Example of an APA Style Student Paper Gregory White, Ph.D. National University Abstract This sample paper provides National University students with an example of what features of APA style they are expected to use when writing student papers. The required features do not require several features required by APA style for papers that report original research or that propose a research project. Students who follow the guidelines embodied in this sample paper are much more likely to receive better grades from National University professors than those who ignore the guidelines. The guidelines in this example are based on the sixth edition of the Publication Manual (American Psychological Association, 2010). This is an Example of an APA Style Student Paper This sample paper presents most elements of American Psychological Association (APA) style that your instructors will expect you to follow when writing papers for National University 9sychology courses (American Psychological Association, 2010). You will use this format for longer papers such as literature reviews, expository and narrative essays, as well as for shorter papers in which you are required to write just a few pages of commentary on some reading, assigned exercise, or class activity. In all cases your instructor will tell you if an assignment requires full APA style as outlined in this paper. In almost all cases, you should use appropriate grammar...

...CONCURRENCE OF CREDITS, definition. It implies possession by two or more creditors of equal right or privileges over the same property or all of the property of a debtor. PREFERENCE OF CREDIT, definition. It is the right held by a creditor to be preferred in the payment of his claim above other out of the debtor’s assets. NATURE AND EFFECT OF PREFERENCE 1. A preference is an exception to the general rule. For this reason, the law as to preferences is strictly construed. 2. Preference does not create an interest in property. It creates simply a right of one creditor to be paid first the proceeds of the sale of property as against another creditor. 3. The law does not give the creditor who has a preference a right to take the property or sell it as against another creditor. It is not a question who takes or sells, it is one of the application of the proceeds after the sale—of payment of the debt. 4. The right of preference is one which can be made only by being asserted and maintained. If the right claimed is not asserted or maintained, it is lost. 5. Where a creditor released his levy, leaving the property in possession of the debtor, thereby indicating that he did not intend to press his claim further as to that specific property, after that act, his claim to preference, if one had been asserted y him, could not exist because he had ceased to contest. WHEN RULE OF PREFERENCE APPLICABLE 1. Apply only...

...Opinion Mining Using Econometrics: A Case Study on Reputation Systems Anindya Ghose Panagiotis G. Ipeirotis Arun Sundararajan Department of Information, Operations, and Management Sciences Leonard N. Stern School of Business, New York University {aghose,panos,arun}@stern.nyu.edu Abstract Deriving the polarity and strength of opinions is an important research topic, attracting significant attention over the last few years. In this work, to measure the strength and polarity of an opinion, we consider the economic context in which the opinion is evaluated, instead of using human annotators or linguistic resources. We rely on the fact that text in on-line systems influences the behavior of humans and this effect can be observed using some easy-to-measure economic variables, such as revenues or product prices. By reversing the logic, we infer the semantic orientation and strength of an opinion by tracing the changes in the associated economic variable. In effect, we use econometrics to identify the “economic value of text” and assign a “dollar value” to each opinion phrase, measuring sentiment effectively and without the need for manual labeling. We argue that by interpreting opinions using econometrics, we have the first objective, quantifiable, and contextsensitive evaluation of opinions. We make the discussion concrete by presenting results on the reputation system of Amazon.com. We show that user feedback affects the pricing power of merchants and by measuring their pricing...

...Introduction The Bible is our source of information about God—who He is and what He has done for us. The Bible is an exposure of man—his character, history, and divine needs. The Bible also tells us about God’s plan of redemption, which provides forgiveness and renewal for man in his sinful situation. The Bible reveals what God’s standards of right and wrong are and what His will is for His men. Unlike other books, the Bible was written by about forty authors who lived during a 1,500-year period beginning with Moses in the fifteenth century B.C.E. The Bible was written in two major languages—Hebrew and Greek, with a few parts of the Old Testament written in Aramaic. No other book has ever been composed in quite the same way as the Bible. Moses, who wrote the first five books of the Old Testament, was probably the most educated man of his day, having studied under tutors in the royal palace of Egypt. The human authors also included those who were great leaders, such as Joshua, and those who were chosen of God to be prophets, such as Samuel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel. Some of the authors were like David, who began as a shepherd but became king of Israel. David wrote many of the Psalms, forming a rich poetic background for much of the biblical truth. Some of the writers were farmers, some were warriors, some were fishermen. There was little that tied them together except that they all wrote a portion of the biblical truth as said in the Bible. The Epic of Gilgamesh and...
