...Assignment 2: Quiz Angie Dawson University of Southern California Assignment 2: Quiz 5. The client in this vignette is concerned about her aunt, who exhibits several distressing symptoms. There are two anxiety disorders which should be considered which fit the aunt’s presenting symptoms. These symptoms suggest that she may be living with either agoraphobia or a social anxiety disorder (SAD). Both belong to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) (APA, 2013) category of anxiety disorders. Agoraphobia is the most commonly known phobia or irrational fear in the United States (Dinsmoor, 2015). Its root word, agora is Greek meaning fear of the marketplace (Dinsmoor, 2015). Generally, people are diagnosed with agoraphobia if they “usually avoid anxiety-provoking situations which may cause them to become housebound” (Dinsmoor, 2015). SAD is an anxiety disorder which has a both familial and environmental etiologies (Isomura et al., 2015). Typically, underlying negative biases influence a person’s thoughts which are...

...this server. Do you have any experience as staff? Sadly, I have never been staff on any other sever. I applied to be a staff member on another server, but after a while I deleted the application. I am a fast learner, however, and I could easily pick up the necessary skills of a staff member. How many hours per day are you active? Right now, since it is currently summer break for me, I can be active at least 6-10 hours a day (unless family events come up). When school begins again for me (August 16th), I will only be able to be on for about 3-4 hours daily, but on weekends I can go back to 6-10 hours. If I am needed I can come on to help outside of these hours. How long have you been playing on CreedMC? I have been playing on CreedMC for about 2 weeks, and I love it! :D Have you previously been warned, muted or banned here? I have never been muted, banned, or warned. Are you currently staff on another server? I am not staff on any other servers. Additional extra information: Just some extra information about me: -My nickname in game is Boone, and you can either call me that or by my IGN. -Whether I am accepted or not, I will have no harsh words or feelings towards the server or the staff. I know the owners of the server, and I have faith that if I am not accepted there is a reason behind it. - I look forward to hearing any feedback you may have, and If you have questions or concerns about my application (or you'd just like to get to know me), feel free to contact me In-game or on...

...security is sensitive to even a slight change in the pattern of the weather and climate. Hence these countries, more specifically small-scale farmers in low-income countries, are the most vulnerable group to the effect of global warming and climate change. [1]. In contrast, developed and developing countries share a responsibility of using fossil fuel as the energy source for the industrial sector, which contributes a significant release of greenhouse gasses (GHG) into the atmosphere. Another striking fact is that the food choice and lifestyle, such as a high consumption of meat, also plays a role in the production of GHG. Food production, especially livestock production, is responsible for 70% of all agricultural land use and 18% of global GHG. [2, 3]. Is it fair that the most vulnerable group in the poor countries have to bear the consequences of the other group’s actions? This concern makes me reflect and wonders of what action I can do. It would be unrealistic to think that I can do the...

...Unit 2 Assignment There are different types of court cases from small claims to federal to criminal and civil cases. Each of these cases needs to be heard; disputed and or tried in the proper courts moreover venue requirement must also be met (Mallor, 02/2015, p. 29). Different courts have different types of jurisdiction or the power to adjunction cases and issue orders within the territory of which a court or government agency can properly exercise its power (definitions wex , Cornell Law School, n.d.) Some of the factors that determine where disputes are decided upon and possibly being disputed in other courts for example. A private dispute may be decided on in a federal court, if the parties are from different states or disputing larger...

...for criticisms to the theory of memory. When discussing the basis of personal identity, Sam’s answers became circular. Circular in this context means that Sam’s answers did not offer a direct conclusion. His ideals would beg the question and would not indicate or support the theory of memory to be possible. If memory and experiences were the foundation of personal identity then Sam’s claim regarding having two individuals live the same memories to create one would not be accurate. The problem with this is that the theory states that a character’s memories make them who they are and make them unique from every other being therefore having two bodies will just mean that one is an imposter with false recollections that it did not live. 2. Bruce Banner and The Hulk as seen in my perspective is the same person. What made me come to this conclusion was that a few seconds before Bruce turned into his ultimate form he was asked to get angry but he turned and said “I am always angry”. This shows that he had no difficulty in altering his physical form because internally his form or personal identity remains the same. In other words whether he’s in his human form or hulk form he is always angry. The theory of memory and same soul, aids to prove my belief because the memory theory states that experiences and recollections make an individual who they are while the same soul theory states that personality and having your own unique character constructs your personal identity. Before turning...

...This question also is good due to being concise, clear, and accurately encompassing the construct of neuroticism, based on the definition provided. It is situational, but not vague or left up to interpretation. 2. The following table shows correlations of each of the 15 items with the total score of USF Neuroticism scale. Based on item-total correlations, please identify which item(s) you think should be deleted and explain why. (Please review your Item Analysis slides to complete this section correctly) Regarding item-total correlation, item 1 and 5 should be deleted. A positive correlation indicates that the item discriminates well between high and low scoring groups, which is the ideal. A negatively correlated item indicates that it does not discriminate well between high and low scoring groups. Items with a correlation of above 0.30 are considered acceptable. Both item 1 and 5 are below 0.30. They do not do a good job at measuring the construct...

...1) Describe what you did and how you did it. This second week, I read quite a lot … again this time about Syntax, Semantics, Data Assignments, Type checking, Compiler vs. Interpreters, The Java model and Virtual machines. I watched all the videos suggested on the subjects and I have to say that sometimes I got a little confused (as usual), but eventually everything made sense. As always participation in the discussion forum was done, this time the discussion was getting our own points of view and descriptions on the subjects so it will be interesting to read how the rest of the students describe the subjects and what extra information can I get from them. This week, no programming assignment, but more than one self-quizzes to make up for...

...Introduction My report will present the decisions made in three tasks (identify focus, describe theoretical positions and provide evidence for the data production in line with research question) in preparing a small-scale-practitioner led investigation and provide justification for the choices. The report will be divided into three parts. . The first part will delineate the purpose of the research, provide contextual information, and propose an initial research question. The second part will focus on the paradigmatic approach, define ontological and epistemological orientations, and discuss methodology. The third part will provide an account of the design frame, discuss the data production, and define what comprises as evidence to support the research question. The report will end with a conclusion. Research Focus The research process begins with identifying a problem (The Open University, 2014a). In my previous post as a teacher of Mathematics and coordinator of literacy in Mathematics in an inner city school in Birmingham, with 70% EAL students, I elevated my interest in development and student retention of Mathematical vocabulary. In my current post as Mathematics teacher, working with Abu Dhabi Government’s incentive to improve education of Emirati students, this interest has uplifted even more. When struggling to grasp a concept, one of the most commonly asked question by my students is “How can I improve my Mathematics Vocabulary”. It is the area on which I wanted to work...

...This week’s programming assignment was really enjoyable. I enjoyed writing code for the basic calculator. In total, I spent approximately three and a half hours working on it. I probably spent more time making adjustments than writing the actual code. Defining the functions was pretty straightforward, so I did not run into any trouble while working on that part. After calling and testing the newly defined functions a few times, I was able to make them work as planned. The provided pseudo code helps a lot in terms guiding me through the assignment from the beginning to the end. However, I started running into some problems when I was trying to figure out how to use a conditional function to check whether the first and second are equal to zero so that the program would go back one step in the case that the user enter zero as an input....

...When this happens, the most important things an effective early childhood teacher can do are collect information, ask for guidance, and make changes until the sense of inclusiveness prevails within his or her classroom It is the responsibility of ECE teachers to foster a climate that encourages acceptance of ALL children and their families. We can do this in several ways: 1. Mutual respect, cooperation, shared responsibility, and negotiation of conflicts toward achievement of shared goals are requirements for effective family and school partnerships. 2. Collaborative partnerships require regular, frequent, two-way communication with the child’s family. 3. Roles for parents include decision making about children’s care and education as well as observation, participation, and decision making regarding the program. 4. The teacher's role includes sensitivity to families’ wishes and respect for their preferences while maintaining professional responsibility for...

... My overall goal for this project was to create a 3rd person game in a jungle and learn to create a game because I thought I had the background knowledge do so. To accomplish this I used Unity and researched. I spent many hours crating the game so that I would be perfect. I created a game that I felt satisfied with because of the terrain and the movement mechanics, but I also thought that this game did not meet my standard because of the errors and the village that I was unable to complete. Since I needed to learn about creating games in Unity, I read articles on the web, and I watched videos.The articles taught me the different functions of each code and the videos had the step-by-step process of how to do it. Since the only thing I knew how to do was programming in C#, I needed to research how to create a terrain. When I looked at some articles in Unity, I found that creating a terrain does not require any programming skills, and the articles also showed that when programming in C# the terrain was classified as a game object. After I learned the codes for writing a game, I was able to create a functional character movement in the terrain. The movement was the first thing that the videos I looked at created because without the proper movement of a character other important features such as animation and enemies will also not work properly. I used youtube videos and articles from Unity to learn how I could make my game and I used my previous knowledge of C# programming to create...

...Insights Describe: A concept I was introduced to in my 2 statistics classes (ENVS 178 and ENVS 278) were modeling financial documents, analyzing large sets of data, using SPSS graphing, and creating formulas in excel. I now understand this vital concept much better due to the greatness in exposure I have received while working at Hatch, as well how I have been trained by upper year leads whom have a richer skilled set which allowed me to gain knowledge and never stop my continual learning loop. Specifically, I learned how to use different functions within excel such as creating variance formulas and setting automatic dates. This has been a game changer as although I was introduced to variance formulas in ENVS 278, the concept was not clear to me and I did not even know...

...work done and having it done right are two different matters, digital photographs of the repaired vehicle are available upon request. These photos were illuminated with the indirect sunlight of a late December afternoon. The linear reflections of a nearby building approximate the lighting that body shops use to detect dents. If you rather lay eyes on my car, I will drive my car to a place of your choosing for inspection. My vehicle is not salvage titled. Oklahoma does not issue them for hail-damaged vehicles like mine. Only vehicles that are not roadworthy and vehicles that are flood-damaged get salvage titles. Please refer to Oklahoma Statute Title 47 § 1111 and Oklahoma Administrative Code 710:60-5-53 to verify this statement. Request № 2: Would you also report to your insurance databases that my car has been repaired to your satisfaction and its insurance value has been restored? The auto insurance databases to which USAA subscribes report my car as a total loss. I really do not want this claim to come back me to haunt me financially. Please do what you can to update these entries to reflect that I am longer driving a totaled vehicle. CAR PIC HERE. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of my requests. Anything you could do to help me put this bewildering lesson in auto insurance behind me would be appreciated. Please let me know if you have questions or whether you need more information....

... A track of each data would have to be retained at all time which includes the number of applicant’s male separate from female. The amount of applicants and the amount that are actually hired. The age of each applicant along with their racial/ethnic background. This data would provide the number of applicant hired compare to the number of actual applicant. This should be processed and broken down by each category which includes age, racial/ethnic and gender. Each category will produce a percentage score. The stock statistics would involves accumulating data pertaining to the demographics of the establishment current work environment, and comparing each demographics to the geographic location where the organization operates. This data can be gathered through an updated census bank. The establishment should evaluate the demographics for each work force compared to the geographic site where the establishment function. Again the concertation statistics involves investigating the percentage of individuals within a variety of fields within the establishment and separating them in groups which includes age, gender etc. The rule of thumb or guideline I would recommend for this situation would be “The Civil Rights (1964) which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color etc. Base on the Affirmative Action all employees should receive the same treatment regardless the race or gender, religion or national origin.
