The diagnosis, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD: DSM-IV-T), is associated with adult victims of natural disaster or crime. History shows several cases of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder that have been encountered by healthcare professionals. Here we have discussed a case study of a girl who suffered from this particular disorder. Her complex of blocked feelings was probed and her powerful healing force brought her back to a normal life. The purpose of this discussion is to understand and explore the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder through art and play therapy.

Sometimes, studies show that elderly patients are perceived not to be in pain because they do not complain about pain, or that the perceive it differently than younger people. In both receptive and non-receptive patients, one can observe facial tics and/or grimaces, blood pressure (elevated blood pressure sometimes indicates more pain), body temperature, and even mobility.
For the functional patient, assessment can be done by observation of body movement, gait, grimacing, and asking the patient to rate pain on a scale and describe the characteristics (burning, stabbing, aching, frequency, duration, etc.). If the patient is cognitively impaired, simple questions can be asked -- "do you feel a burning sensation, etc." If the patient is non-responsive or cannot understand, one can observe changes in behavior, agitation, facial expressions, or vocalizations. Note, too, that cognitively impaired patients can sometimes be overstimulated by their environment, so take that into account. Finally, involve family…...

Project management comparison: Lenovo vs. planning Canada Games 2005
Every large endeavor or organization contains challenges for the project manager. In the case of Lenovo, the Chinese computer firm was faced with increasing competition from its major competitors Dell and HP. Lenovo needed to fundamentally alter its standard operating procedures and approach. No specific financial constraint was placed upon the reform: it was resolved that to continue to remain competitive and to generate revenue, changes were needed. In contrast, the 2005 Canada Games was a time-specific project with a specific start and end date. The organizers had 40 months and a $23.4 million budget to bring the games to fruition.
Lenovo fundamentally changed the approach of project managers at its organization, prioritizing "expanding into new markets,…...

Zero Tolerance
Linda's business problem is whether she should write a memo that would explain two employees' violation of a zero-tolerance policy and ask that they be allowed to keep their jobs, despite violating that policy. Should Linda discuss the issues with Mr. Hill, her direct supervisor? What is Victoria's obligation to read Linda's memo if Linda writes one and does her obligation go beyond the bare obligation to enforce the company's policies?
There are a number of critical issues in the case. The first critical issue is whether a company having a zero tolerance policy that results in termination of an employee in good standing is reasonable? Are there ever valid reasons for an employee to violate a zero tolerance policy? If so, was Jim's violation of the company's stated policy a valid reason? If Jim's violation of the zero tolerance policy was reasonable, does that mean that Dan's failure to…...

Case #1
There are three points to be made about case number one: 1) whether purchasing inventory is acceptable three weeks before declaring bankruptcy, 2) whether Arthur could make a $400 donation to American Cancer Society, and 3) whether Arthur could pay $300 for the current electric bill.
Point 1 -- The trustee would not likely to be able to set aside the purchasing of inventory since Arthur is attempting to run a business, that is assuming that the inventory was necessary for the business to continue to run. Arthur was petitioned into bankruptcy, he did not do so willingly, therefore he should be able to continue to make purchases of inventory.
Point 2 -- The trustee would be able to set aside the $400 donation made to the American Cancer society because that was not a necessary business expense. It could be conjectured that Arthur was only attempting to give…...

Sean
Sean's early life was exceptionally fragmented, leaving him with substantive levels of abandonment and fears regarding his well-being. The life his family led before he went to live with his grandmother was not ordered or structured. Sean did not develop the ability to make predictions about what happens in life, in games, and in the behavior of others because this area was essentially a void in his young life. Because he did not have a normal background against which to compare his life events, it was difficult for Sean to identify that he was angry with his mother for her neglect, disappointed in his father for his harshness, or devastated by the death of his grandmother.
Sean was not able to articulate the feelings he was experiencing nor was he able to detect normal life…...
The stress is, therefore, it is directed to the wrong person, but in normal circumstances, it's never like that. This is a perfect example of hyper-stress caused by built up pressure at work and the expectation to deliver.
The situation can be resolved by taking stress relieving activities that include engaging oneself in regular exercises, engaging in good talks with friends, eating sensibly, having enough rest and accepting situations that one cannot change. These activities will greatly help out in relieving the stress that pile up causing the conflict between the persons. Yes, I have ever witnessed the situation between my uncle and wife, and it was resolved by visiting a marriage counselor who advised my uncle to take up gym classes so as to channel away the stress.

#1 The MarketSite and BuySite applications represent a collaborative online commerce environment from Commerce One for buying and selling. MarketSite is a portal for exchanging goods and services on the Commerce One Global. MarketSite lets buyers, suppliers and net market makers conduct business, source new products and services, create new sales channels and access industry-specific information. BuySite is an electronic procurement application that automates the goods and services procurement process.
#2 Buying power vs. selling power most likely motivated Eastman to start with purchasing. Eastman Chemical manufactures and markets more than 1,200 chemicals, fibers and plastics products, meaning that its selling power is highly distributed. Thus, a sell-side effort in electronic commerce would be more complex, requiring the ability to attract world-wide customers from many industries. But, with 2002 revenues of $5.3 billion the company has extraordinary buying power, meaning that sellers are more than happy to cater to…...

#1 Guess.com may be able to apply the same transactional scoring techniques that it uses for traditional card payments to other forms of e-payment. However, it's going to require a host of new interfaces and processes to accommodate non-credit card payments such as say a link to a payment bureau such as PayPal or the Bankers Automated Clearing System. In some instances different forms of e-payment may negate the need for transactional scoring depending on the ability of the payment service to support and guarantee immediate payments.
#2 The online credit card payment system allows Guess.com to reduce fraud and engage in international commerce with support for currency conversions, local tax calculations and local policy compliance. In addition, the system facilitates great customer service by supporting high-volume transactions both quickly and reliably, allowing the company to scale its services to a high-volume and internationally dispersed audience even under…...

Choosing Entrants Into a Management raining Program
How would you go about deciding who to select for the openings? In other words, without providing your decisions for the individual candidates, describe how you would weigh the various selection information to reach a decision.
he following table shows the prioritization of factors based on their relative weighting. As the text has often mentioned, the ability to combine trust and performance is the foundation of effective leadership (Heneman, Judge, Kammeyer-Muller, 2012). he selection of these factors also take into account the need to create a more transformational leadership approach at the store level over time. It is relatively easy to select management training program candidates who have transactional leadership styles, as this skill set is predicated on the traditional plan, organizes, lead and control paradigm of traditional management (Fuller, 1994). What is far more challenging is to select the best possible series…...
mlaThe top three candidates are Siobhan, Raul and Osvaldo given the criterion provided in the first questions' answers. Each of these three candidates excelled on the integrity test, scoping the highest grades, and each also had the highest costs on the performance ratings as well. In terms of cognitive ability, Osvaldo is the highest overall scored in the entire group of applicants. Radhu scores a 9 on this test and Marianne, an 8. Their integrity scores and in the case of Marianne, her arrest in 1995, limit their potential for advancement given the factor weighting shown in question.
Advancement in management training programs often is defined through anecdotal, often consensus-driven judgments of overall performance during the interview cycle (Fuller, 1994). Relying on more qualitative and loosely defined criterion often leads to consistent, often erroneous results in hiring and long-term management of development programs. The need for a consistent taxonomy and approach to defining qualitative and quantitative measures of performance potential are critical for the overall success of a management recruiting and development program (Heneman, Judge, Kammeyer-Muller, 2012).
Finally the development of an effective scoring and feedback system that continually evaluates how well
This can determine where or not the situation will turn out to be a positive or negative outcome. Along with that, due to research, it is apparent that decision making is a process of identifying and evaluating choices since people make many decisions on a daily basis. Most of decisions range from routine to impulsive, which does not give critical thinking a chance to help a person to make a correct choice. Along with that, decision making goes along with problem solving within ethical situations. In problem solving, a person has to identify and evaluate solution paths, which includes decision making (Critical thinking). Therefore, critical thinking is essential to the decision making process because ethics is the core of it all.

Performance management is a process-centric, holistic approach to company's decision making process that is intended to improve the company's capability and to manage its performance at all levels by combining stakeholders, customers, managers, and suppliers. Many companies rely on performance management to improve the quality of their management process by putting together the many different units found within the company into a stable, highly coordinated enterprise (Armstrong, 2006).
Due to the change in the business environment as a result of stiff competition from other players and globalization, companies are being forced to become more competitive and some of the ways of enabling them to achieve such length is by performance management (Cokins, 2009). In support of how performance management has an impact on a…...

Victim: Four Case Studies
Case
Under the given circumstances, Sam should be charged with murder. Although he did make the prior effort to make sure the neighbors were not too close, the fact is clear -- a fire is extremely dangerous. He had no idea that there were squatters in the house; yet, that does not mean the act of lighting a fire was not a dangerous one. According to the Mississippi Code of 1972, Section 97-3-19, a crime can be considered murder even "when done in the commission of an act eminately dangerous to others and evincing a depraved heart, regardless of human life, although without any premeditated design to affect the death of any particular individual." Even if there was no one in the house, a fire fighter may have been killed or injured batting the blaze, and thus Sam's actions clearly would allow for a murder charge.

(Major depression)
This is what is likely to have happened to the person. It can also happen that major depression comes once to the life of the person due to some serious happening, and if this is so, then special care should be taken to get her round the problem. Once she is able to cross the difficulties that she is facing, she may not be so seriously depressed ever again. For this purpose, it would be better if she is given a consultation with a doctor without her knowing that she is meeting a doctor. That may be also useful in the other case, but well both these solutions are very difficult to carry out in practice. The nurse will have to choose probably for the lesser evil of getting some of her relatives, or others to protect her during the period of this severe depression. (Major depression)

A paper that focuses on topics like strategic decision making, strategy, leadership, management control systems, entrepreneurship, or organization changes can take two approaches. You can thoroughly explain one of the concepts, for example describing that strategic decision making is a method of business planning that looks at long-term goals. The other approach is to do some sort of case study looking specifically at events to determine how one of those topics either impacted or was impacted by a company’s decision-making process.
