familial risk factors play an important role in adolescent suicide. While a number of individual risk factors such as depression make adolescents vulnerable to suicidal behavior, the influence of familial interactions on adolescent suicide is also significant.
Family theories of adolescent depression focus closely on the interaction of family and the adolescent, the need to find a functional balance between familial stability and flexibility (Nichols & Schwartz, 2004), and the importance of communication as both a cause of adolescent suicidality, and a potential area for therapy.

Familial risk factors in adolescent suicide include parental reaction, marital conflict, family communication, sexual abuse, abuse and the expendable child, non-suicidal loss of a family member, and a family history of suicidal behaviors. Each of these factors impacts adolescent suicide to differing degrees, with abuse (including sexual abuse) an important predictor of attempted suicide, and a family history of suicidal behaviors a significant risk factor…...

Homelessness: isk Factors Associated With Homelessness
Homelessness, by official definition is a state of people who use shelter care services provided by the state for any period of time- night shelter or extended periods. In America at any given period around the year, about two to three million are homeless accounting for 1% of the population (Lehmann et al., 2001). About 10% of these people are observed to use these services for much longer times and are the biggest consumers of the shelter care provisions (Kuhn & Culhane, 1998; Culhane et al., 1999; Caton et al. 2005). This social problem is a significant public health issue.

Homelessness is rampant amongst the drugs and alcohol abusers. When studied from the point of economic and social perspectives the use of intoxicants such as chemical substances, alcohol and other drugs, proved to be the primary cause of homelessness for over the last fifty years (Johnson…...

She had no support structure and Gary's main male role models had served prison time (his maternal grandfather and two uncles, as well as his father, the latter of whom he never had a relationship). Just as education and aspirations were 'normalized' for Gary G., criminal behaviors were normalized for Gary F. At a very young age (Burkhead 2006: 24). Also, there may be genetic factors which predispose certain individuals to aggressive behavior which makes them more susceptible to crime. This was combined with evidence of a genetic tendency towards addiction in the form of alcohol. His mother was very ambivalent about having a child and there may have been some developmental problems caused because of a lack of prenatal care.

JCP -- Kohl's
isk Factors

JC Penney's business has a number of risk factors. On the surface, JC Penney should be in a stable, uninteresting industry, but there are a number of risk factors, and the company's recent difficulties have revealed some of these.

The first major risk factor is that JCP is, ultimately, in the fashion business. Any company that sells clothing faces the singular reality that clothing fashions change, and if at any point the clothes it sells are not in line with the latest fashions, it will be stuck with excess inventory that will have to be sold at a significant discount, in many cases at a loss. Purchasing is therefore a critical element of JCP's business. The company's purchasers must accurately gauge the coming trends for each season. There is a long lead time with respect to fashion trends -- clothes go on sale at least one season ahead…...

Coccidioidomycosis Erythema Nodosum
Also known as valley fever or desert rheumatism, coccidioidomycosis is a fungal disease commonly reported in the Western Hemisphere, especially South-western U.S. (mainly California, Arizona, and Texas), Northern Mexico, as well as parts of Central and South America (Chen, Lee & Li, 2010). In the U.S., estimates indicate that 150,000 people in the South-western region are infected every year (Garcia et al., 2015). As the disease is mainly concentrated in South-western U.S., its national prevalence remains unknown. The disease is commonly characterized by coughing, fever, shortness of breath, headaches, chest pain, night sweating, loss of weight, and erythema nodosum (Garcia et al., 2015). This paper reports a case of coccidioidomycosis characterized by erythema nodosum

Walt Disney Prospectus
#1 Disney offered a five-year bond at 4.5% for sale. These are classed as Global Notes and they were available in denominations of $2,000 minimum and $1,000 after the first $2,000. The notes cannot be redeemed prior to maturity, but the company can redeem at any time at fair value. These are fixed rate notes at 4.5% and they will be paid out semi-annually. The global notes means that they are cleared both in the United States and in Luxembourg, allowing the company to tap the European financial markets. One of the main underwriters, Deutsche Bank, is partly responsible for the European part of the issue. The debt is, however, wholly denominated in US dollars.

There are several steps that Disney undertook in order to enhance the marketability of the debt securities. First, the price and conditions of the issue need to be favorable for the market conditions. Second,…...

Problem StatementThe problem to be addressed in this study is Alzheimers Disease (AD) is a debilitating and progressive neurodegenerative disorder estimated to affect over 5 million women in the United States, yet recent research has shown that many cases go undiagnosed (oyse et al., 2021). This leads to significant health inequalities for American women compared with men because of their increased risk for diagnosis due to their demographic factors such as age, gender, and ethnicity (de Lange, 2020; Dubal, 2020; Majoka & Schimming, 2022; Peeters et al., 2022). esearch has also suggested that American women with AD experience greater disability and require more assistance than their male counterparts, which further highlights the issue of inequity in healthcare for women (Zuo & Heflin, 2022).Given this inequity along with the increasing prevalence of AD in the United States (de Lange, 2020), there is a critical need to understand the disproportionate impacts of…...

WEEK 11 ASSIGNMENTWeek 11 AssignmentWhen Risk Outweighs CapabilityIn a Highly Reliability Organization (HRO), when risk outweighs capability, imbalances may occur owing to unbalanced scales that result to system failure. In essence, when an organization lacks sufficient capability to alleviate the threats they face, then imbalances are created leading to adverse consequences. For instance, HRO may face political, social, safety, and financial consequences. In addition to the said consequences, an organization may also face other consequences related to changes in public demand. The potential cost of the said changes in demand may be adverse.Relationship between Expectation and ConsequencesExpectations and Consequences are some of the interacting forces that determine a systems reliability.

As the percentage of older Americans continues to increase, the need for timely and accurate assessment screens and the formulation of effective clinical interventions will become even more pronounced. Fortunately, the research also showed that there are a number of assessment tools that are available to facilitate the process, including sophisticated multifactor instruments with proven validity and reliability. One of the more important issues to emerge from the research concerned the need for individualized interventions that draw on strengths and interests in order to minimize the risk factors that are involved.

Conclusion

There are discrepancies encountered in conducting the valuation and risk of a private company. There arises these factors that if investigated can impact the process accordingly. The first research question that I suggest is investigating if the tax risk and equity market value exhibit a concave association, which is consistent with the optimal tax risk level from a valuation of equity standpoint. The second topic that can be researched upon is the changes facing the risk and value valuation service area for businesses and how they impact the practice. Finally, a study on how the Merger and Acquisitions revised standards are impacting business deals.

Fact 9:

Europe's more liberal drug policies are not the right model for America.

Fact 10:

Most non-violent drug users get treatment, not jail time. (Legalization, 2010).

Conclusion

There are no benefits for society in the legalization of marijuana. The money from the taxing of the marijuana will end up being use to regulate and enforce the dispensaries. The money to treat the addiction will be another source of lost revenues from the taxation.

Increased usage by underage teens will be the same as cigarettes and alcohol and will increase as the price drops as it did in the Dutch experiment. Kids will be introduced onto the drug culture that leads to the use of the harder narcotics as a result of the increased access to the marijuana. The benefits will be just moved from one area to other areas of criminalization.

isks of Using Computer-Based Procurement
Every complex project requiring the collaborative effort of an organization involves the use of materials, goods, and services that are integrated within the overall project design. The procurement process used to obtain these vital resources is central to the successful accomplishment of project objectives, because every aspect of the management process, from sourcing supplies to shipping products to customers is contingent on procuring the most productive third-party partnerships. The vendor selection process is used to aid project managers in the effective procurement of essential items and services, with a rigorous screening methodology used to identify the most competent and qualified shipping companies, manufacturers, distributors, and equipment suppliers. Another way project managers have refined the procurement process is through the implementation of computer-based tools, with advances in technology enabling researchers to identify a project's critical path through a complex series of algorithms, software programs, and other advanced…...

isk of Committing Violence Among Individuals Suffering From Bipolar Disorder
Several studies argue that most psychiatric symptoms are closely correlated with criminality, since such symptoms impair judgment and violate societal norms. In this regard, several studies have been conducted regarding the risk of violence among individuals suffering from mental illnesses but few have highlighted the possibility of bipolar individuals engaging in criminal behavior. The common disorders known to be highly related to criminality include antisocial personality disorder, kleptomania, voyeurism and schizophrenia. Therefore, this study is meant to examine the possibility of bipolar individuals engaging in criminal behavior.

esearch Topic

This paper aims at analyzing the likelihood of committing violence among individuals suffering from bipolar disorder as well as the factors that are likely to influence the degree to which these individuals are likely to commit violent acts.

Past studies have hinted that individuals suffering from bipolar disorder have a greater possibility of engaging…...

While stress is a commonly used term, it is a poorly defined term that can refer to a wide scope of things, depending on the context.  Generally speaking, stress refers to the person’s response to some sort of aversive stimuli or stressor, though stress can also be used to refer to the stimuli that causes the stress.  The perception of stress appears to be related to whether a person finds a particular stimulus to be overwhelming. Therefore, a stress concept analysis can have different meanings and is personalized for each person experiencing a particular stressor.  Generally, we....
