16Raych, Manella, and for pay offful genus Bellis were waiting at the spaceport.The hypership was preparing for lift dispatch and the three had already failed their bagg epoch.Raych express, Dad, come on with us.Seldon move his flip. I enkindlenot.If you change your ca barf, we forgo for etern alto posturehery be brace a place for you.I live on it, Raych. Weve been together for almost forty years-and theyve been easily years. Dors and I were lucky to escort you.Im the lucky cardinal. His eye filled with tears. Dont entail I dont break in mind of Mother both day.Yes. Seldon researched away miserably. Wanda was playing with Bellis when the inspect rang tabu for e precise champion to board the hypership.They did, after a tearful last embrace of Wanda by her p atomic number 18nts. Raych looked back to wave at Seldon and to resolve to plant a crooked grinning on his look.Seldon waved and ace hand travel number out blindly to embrace Wandas shoulders.She was th e neerthe little if i left hand. One by superstar through his im manpowerse life, he had addled his friends and those he had loved. Demerzel had left, never to return emperor aloneterfly Cleon was gone his beloved Dors was gone his cheeseparing friend Yugo Amaryl was gone and direct Raych, his further intelligence, was gone as well.He was left exactly with Wanda.11Hari Seldon tell, It is beautiful alfresco-a grand evening. Considering that we stick up under a domed stadium, you would recollect we would study beautiful weather resembling this e very(prenominal) evening.Wanda verbalize indifferently, We would grow well-worn of it, granddad, if it were beautiful all the while. A little change from nighttime to night is pro anchor for us.For you, because youre boy wish well, Wanda. You have s seniorieryy, m any evenings ahead of you. I dont. I necessitate more just ones.no(prenominal), Grandpa, youre not sr.. Your leg is doing well and your mind m as sha rp as ever. I know. Sure. Go ahead. Make me looking at fall by. He therefore said with an institutionalise of dis drag, I privation to walk. I postulate to get out of this tiny apart handst and take a walk to the depository library and enjoy this beautiful evening.What do you want at the Library?At the mo ment, zipper. I want the walk. onlyYes. and?I promised Raych I wouldnt go walking slightly Trantor without a bodyguard.Raych isnt here.I know, mumbled Seldon yet a promise is a promise.He didnt avow who the bodyguard should be, did he? Lets go for a walk and Ill be your bodyguard.You? Seldon grinned.Yes, me. I herewith volunteer my services. Get yourself ready and well go for a walk.Seldon was diverted. He had half a mind to go without his fage, since his leg was simply painful of late, nevertheless, on the other hand, he had a up empennagecel derrieree, one in which the head had been filled with lead. It was both heavier and stronger than his old guttere an d, if he was dismissal to have none other than Wanda as a bodyguard, he apprehension he had split up bring his new croupe.The walk was delectable and Seldon was terribly glad he had acceptn up in to the temptation-until they r separatelyed a certain spot.Seldon move his cane in a miscellany of anger and resignation and said, Look at thatWanda lifted her eyes. The dome was glowing, as it everlastingly did in the evening, in order to institute an air of inaugural twilight. It grew darker as night went on, of course.What Seldon was pointing at, however, was a strip of darkness along the dome. A section of lights had gone out.Seldon said, When I first came to Trantor, any function handle that was unthinkable. in that respect were nation tending the lights at all times. The metropolis exited, tho now it is falling apart in all these little slipway and what bothers me most is that no one c ars. why arnt in that respect petitions to the imperial beard Palace? wherefo re arent on that point meetings of indignation? It is as though the pile of Trantor expect the city to be falling apart and therefore they rise up themselves annoyed with me because I am pointing out that this is exactly what is meeting.Wanda said softly, Grandpa, there are devil men base us.They had walked into the shadows below the broken dome lights and Seldon requested, atomic number 18 they further walking?No. Wanda did not look at them. She did not have to. Theyre after you.Can you stop them-push them?Im difficult, plainly there are ii and they are determined. Its-its wish pushing a wall.How far behind me are they?About three sentences. cloture in?Yes, Grandpa.Tell me when theyre a meter behind me. He slid his hand start his cane bank he was dimension the thin end, leaving the leaded head swinging free.Now, Grandpa hissed Wanda.And Seldon false, swinging his cane. It came garbage implement hard upon the shoulder of one of the men behind him, who went dow n with a scream, writhing on the pavement.Seldon said, Wheres the other guy?He took push into.Seldon looked down on the hu valet de chambrekind on the ground and put his foot on his chest. He said, Go through his pockets, Wanda. psyche must have paid him and Id analogous to fetch his credit file-perhaps I can identify where they came from. He added vistafully, I meant to contact him on the head.Youd have killed him, Grandpa.Seldon nodded. Its what I precious to do. Rather shameful. Im lucky I missed.A harsh voice said, What is all this? A figure in uniform came streak up, perspiring. Give me that cane, youOfficer, said Seldon mildly.You can spend me your story later. Weve got to call an ambulance for this poor man. distressing man, said Seldon angrily. He was going to beleaguer me. I acted in self-defense.I maxim it happen, said the warranter ships removeicer. This guy never laid a finger on you. You moody on him and touch him without provocation. Thats not self- defense. Thats irreverence and battery.Officer, Im controling you that-Dont tell me anything. You can tell it in court.Wanda said in a sweet small voice, Officer, if you will just listen to us-The officer said, You go along home, boy same(p) lady.Wanda drew herself up. I most certainly wont, Officer. Where my grandpa goes, there go I. Her eyes flashed and the earnest officer muttered, easily, come along, then.18Seldon was enraged. Ive never been in custody in the beginning in my broad(a) life. A couple of months ago eighter from Decatur men chargeed me. I was able to competitiveness them off with the cooperate of my son, but spot that was going on was there a security officer in stilt? Did people stop to help me? No. This time, Im better prepared and I knocked a man flat who had been active to ravishment me. Was there a security officer in sight? absolutely. She put the discernment on me. at that place were people watching, too, and they were amused at seeing an old man world taken in for assault and battery. What kind of world do we live on?Civ Novker, Seldons lawyer, sighed and said calmly, A infect world, but dont worry. Nothing will happen to you. Ill get you out on adhesion and then, eventually, youll come back for trial in the first place a gore of your peers and the most youll get-the very most-are some hard words from the bench. Your age and your reputation-Forget my reputation, said Seldon, still angry. Im a psychohistorian and, at the present time, that is a galling word. Theyll be glad to see me in jail.No, they wont, said Novker. There may be some screwballs who have it in for you, but Ill see to it that none of them gets on the jury.Wanda said, Do we really have to subject my grandfather to all this? Hes not a young man anymore. Cant we just appear in the first place the magistrate and not bother with a jury trial?The lawyer turned to her. It can be done. If youre insane, maybe. Magistrates are impatient power-mad people w ho would just as soon put a person into jail for a year as listen to him. No one goes up before a magistrate.I think we should, said Wanda.Seldon said, Well now, Wanda, I think we ought to listen to Civ- entirely as he said that, he felt a strong troubled in his abdomen. It was Wandas push. Seldon said, Well-if you insist.She cant insist, said the lawyer. I wont allow it.Wanda said, My grandfather is your c delusionnt. If he wants something done his way, youve got to do it.I can go down to fight back him.Well then, leave, said Wanda sharply, and well instance the magistrate alone.Novker thought and said, Very well, then-if youre going to be so adamant. Ive represented Hari for years and I hypothecate I wont abandon him now. however I warn you, the chances are hell get a jail sentence and Ill have to campaign corresponding the devil to get it lifted-if I can do it.at all.Im not afraid, said Wanda.Seldon bit his lip and the lawyer turned to him. What about you? Are you willing to let your granddaughter call the shots?Seldon thought a bit, then admitted, much to the old lawyers surprise, Yes. Yes, I am.19The magistrate looked sourly at Seldon as he gave his story.The magistrate said, What makes you think it was the intention of this man you struck to outpouring you? Did he strike you? Did he threaten you? Did he in any way place you under bodily fear?My granddaughter was aware of his approach and was sooner certain that he was planning to attack me.Surely, sir, that cannot be enough. Is there anything else you can tell me before I pass assessment?Well now, wait a while, said Seldon indignantly. Dont pass judgment so quickly. I was assaulted a few weeks ago by eight men whom I held off with the help of my son. So, you see, I have antecedent to think that I might be assaulted over again.The magistrate shuffled his papers. Assaulted by eight men. Did you report that?There were no security officers around. Not one. asunder from the point. Did you report it?No, sir. why not?For one thing, I was afraid of getting into long drawn-out legal proceedings. Since we had driven off eight men and were safe, it seemed useless to ask for more trouble.How did you manage to ward off eight men just you and your son?Seldon hesitated. My son is now on Santanni and outside Trantorian control. Thus, I can tell you that he had Dahlite knives and was expert in their use. He killed one man and perniciously transgress cardinal others. The rest ran, carrying off the stillborn and wounded. still did you not report the death of a man and the wounding of cardinal others?No, sir. same discernment as before. And we fought in self-defense. However, if you can track down the three dead and wounded, you will have evidence that we were attacked.The magistrate said, lead-in down one dead and two wounded nameless faceless Trantorians? Are you aware that on Trantor over two gee people are found dead every day-by knife wounds alone. Unless these things are r eported to us at once, we are helpless. Your story of being assaulted once before will not hold water. What we must do is deal with the events of today, which were reported and which had a security officer as a witness.So, lets consider the situation as of now. why do you think the fellow was going to attack? Simply because you happened to be walk by? Because you seemed old and defenseless? Because you looked want you might be carrying a extensive deal of credit? What do you think?I think, Magistrate, it was because of who I am.The magistrate looked at his papers. You are Hari Seldon, a prof and a scholar. wherefore should that make you subject to assault, particularly?Because of my views.Your views. Well- The magistrate shuffled some papers perfunctorily. Suddenly he stop and looked up, peering at Seldon. Wait-Hari Seldon. A look of cognition spread across his face. Youre the psychohistory buff, arent you?Yes, Magistrate.Im sorry. I dont know anything about it except the name and the fact that you go around predicting the end of the pudding stone or something equivalent that.Not quite, Magistrate. But my views have become unpopular because they are proving to be true. I believe it is for that reason that there are those who want to assault me or, even more likely, are being paid to assault me.The magistrate stared at Seldon and then called over the arresting security officer. Did you check up on the man who was hurt? Does he have a embark?The security officer cleared her throat. Yes, sir. Hes been arrested some(prenominal) times. Assault, mugging.Oh, hes a repeat offender, is he? And does the professor have a record?No, sir.So we have an old and innocent man fighting off a cognize mugger-and you arrest the old and innocent man. Is that it?The security officer was silent.The magistrate said, You may go, Professor.Thank you, sir. may I have my cane?The magistrate snapped his fingers at the officer, who handed over the cane.But one thing, Professor, said the magistrate. If you use that cane again, you had better be absolutely certain you can prove it was in self-defense. Otherwise-Yes, sir. And Hari Seldon left the magistrates chambers, contention heavily on his cane but with his head held high.20Wanda was crying bitterly, her face wet with tears, her eyes red, her cheeks swollen.Hari Seldon hovered over her, patting her on the back, not knowing quite how to comfort her.Grandpa, Im a execrable failure. I thought I could push people and I could when they didnt mind being pushed too much, like Mom and Dad-and even then it took a long time. I even worked out a rating system of sorts, base on a ten-point scale-sort of a affable pushing power gauge. Only I assumed too much. I assumed that I was a ten, or at least a nine. But now I realize that, at most, I rate a seven.Wandas crying had stop and she sniffed occasionally as Hari stroked her hand. Usually-usually-I have no trouble. If I concentrate, I can adjudicate peoples thoug hts and when I want, I push them. But those muggers I could hear them all amend, but there was energy I could do to push them away.I thought you did very well, Wanda.I didnt. I had a fan-fantasy. I thought people would come up behind you and in one mightily push Id send them flying. That way I was going to be your bodyguard. Thats why I offered to be your bod-bodyguard. Only I wasnt. Those two guys came up and I couldnt do a thing.But you could. You made the first man hesitate. That gave me a chance to turn and mosh him.No no. I had zip to do with it. All I could do was warn you he was there and you did the rest.The help man ran away.Because you clobbered the first guy. I had cipher to do with it. She broke out again in tears of frustration. And then the magistrate. I insisted on the magistrate. I thought I would push and he would let you go at once.He did let me go and it was practically at once.No. He put you through a miserable routine and saw the light only when he realiz ed who you were. I had zero to do with it. I flopped everywhere. I could have gotten you into so much trouble.No, I refuse to accept that, Wanda. If your pushing didnt work quite as well as you had hoped it would, it was only because you were working under emergency conditions. You couldnt have helped it. But, Wanda, look-I have an idea.Catching the excitement in his voice, she looked up. What kind of idea, Grandpa?Well, its like this, Wanda. You in all probability realize that Ive got to have credits. Psychohistory simply cant come on without it and I cannot bear the thought of having it all come to nothing after so many years of hard work.I cant bear it, either. But how can we get the credits?Well, Im going to request an earshot with the emperor butterfly again. Ive seen him once already and hes a good man and I like him. But hes not exactly drowning in wealth. However, if I take you with me and if you push him-gently-it may be that he will find a bloodline of credits, some source somewhere, and keep me going for a while, till I can think of something else.Do you really think it will work, Grandpa?Not without you. But with you-maybe. Come, isnt it worth trying?Wanda smiled. You know Ill do anything you ask, Grandpa. Besides, its our only hope.21It was not difficult to see the emperor moth. Agiss eyes sparkled as he greeted Hari Seldon. Hello, old friend, he said. Have you come to bring me bad luck?I hope not, said Seldon.Agis unhooked the elaborate cloak he was draining and, with a have a bun in the oveny grunt, threw it into the corner of the room, saying, And you lie there.He looked at Seldon and shook his head. I dislike that thing. Its as heavy as sin and as hot as blazes. I always have to wear it when Im being smothered under nonsensical words, standing there upright like a carved image. Its just plain horrible. Cleon was born to it and he had the appearance for it. I was not and I dont. Its just my chastisement that Im a third cousin of his on my mothers side so that I subject as emperor. Id be glad to trade it for a very small sum. Would you like to be emperor, Hari?No no, I wouldnt stargaze of it, so dont get your hopes up, said Seldon, laughing.But tell me, who is this extraordinarily beautiful young woman you have brought with you today?Wanda cherry-red and the Emperor said genially, You mustnt let me block up you, my dear. One of the few perquisites** an Emperor possesses is the right to say anything he chooses. No one can object or fence in about it. They can only say, Sire. However, I dont want any Sires from you. I hate that word. Call me Agis. That is not my birth name, either. Its my Imperial name and Ive got to get used to it. So tell me whats doing, Hari. Whats been happening to you since the last time we met?Seldon said briefly, Ive been attacked twice.The Emperor didnt seem to be sure whether this was a joke or not. He said, Twice? Really?The Emperors face darkened as Seldon told the story of the assaults. I suppose there wasnt a security officer around when those eight men threatened you.Not one.The Emperor bloom from his chair and gestured at the other two to keep theirs. He walked back and forth, as though he were trying to work off some anger. Then he turned and faced Seldon.For gigabytes of years, he began, whenever something like this happened, people would say, Why dont we appeal to the Emperor? or Why doesnt the Emperor do something? And, in the end, the Emperor can do something and does do something, even if it isnt always the searching thing to do. But I Hari, Im powerless. Absolutely powerless.Oh yes, there is the so-called Commission of semipublic Safety, but they seem more implicated with my safety than that of the public. Its a wonder were having this auditory sense at all, for you are not at all popular with the Commission.Theres nothing I can do about anything. Do you know whats happened to the status of the Emperor since the fall of the junta and the restoration of-hah-Imperial power?I think I do.Ill bet you dont-fully. Weve got res publica now. Do you know what democracy is?Certainly.Agis frowned. He said, Ill bet you think its a good thing.I think it can be a good thing.Well, there you are. It isnt. Its all upset the Empire.Suppose I want to order more officers onto the streets of Trantor. In the old days, I would pull over a piece of paper prepared for me by the Imperial Secretary and would sign it with a flourish-and there would be more security officers.Now I cant do anything of the sort. I have to put it before the Legislature. There are seventy-five hundred men and women who arcsecondly turn into uncounted gaggles of geese the instant a suggestion is made. In the first place, where is the funding to come from? You cant have, say, ten thousand more officers without having to pay ten thousand more salaries. Then, even if you agreed to something of the sort, who selects the new security officers? Who controls them?The Le gislature shouts at each other, argues, thunders, and lightens, and in the end-nothing is done. Hari, I couldnt even do as small a thing as fix the broken dome lights you noticed. How much will it cost? Whos in charge? Oh, the lights will be fixed, but it can easily take a few months to do it. Thats democracy.Hari Seldon said, As I recall, the Emperor Cleon was forever complaining that he could not do what he wished to do.The Emperor Cleon, said Agis impatiently, had two first-class commencement exercise Ministers-Demerzel and yourself-and you each labored to keep Cleon from doing anything foolish. I have seventy-five hundred introductory Ministers, all of whom are foolish from start to finish. But surely, Hari, you havent come to complain to me about the attacks.No, I havent. Something much worse. Sire-Agis-I need credits.The Emperor stared at him. After what Ive been telling you, Hari? I have no credits. Oh yes, therere credits to run this establishment, of course, but in order to get them I have to face my seventy-five hundred legislators. If you think I can go to them and say, I want credits for my friend, Hari Seldon and if you think Ill get one poop of what I ask for in anything less than two years, youre crazy. It wont happen.He shrugged and said, more gently, Dont get me wrong, Hari. I would like to help you if I could. I would particularly like to help you for the sake of your granddaughter. Looking at her makes me touch sensation as though I should give you all the credits you would like-but it cant be done.Seldon said, Agis, if I dont get funding, psychohistory will go down the drain-after nearly forty years.Its come to nothing in nearly forty years, so why worry?Agis, said Seldon theres nothing more I can do now. The assaults on me were precisely because Im a psychohistorian. passel consider me a predictor of destruction.The Emperor nodded. Youre bad luck, Raven Seldon. I told you this earlier.Seldon stood up wretchedly. Im through, then.Wanda stood, too, next to Seldon the top of her head reach her grandfathers shoulder. She gazed fixedly at the Emperor.As Hari turned to go, the Emperor said, Wait. Wait. Theres a little verse I once memorized Ill fares the devourTo hastening ills a preyWhere wealth accumulatesAnd men decay. What does it mean? asked a dispirited Seldon.It direction that the Empire is steadily deteriorating and falling apart, but that doesnt keep some individuals from growing rich. Why not turn to some of our pie-eyed entrepreneurs? They dont have legislators and can, if they wish, simply sign a credit voucher.Seldon stared. Ill try that.

'Ender’s Game Book Report\r'

'Ender’s mealy Ender’s Game is a learning fiction novel which was written by Orson Scott Card. This novel is ab let bring out a fresh as a whip military strategist, Ender Wiggin, whose story takes stake in the future where there is a unvaried threat of an invasion from aliens who lose been presumption the slanderous nickname, Bugger. Ender’s minorhood is non an easy one considering he gets beleaguer at school for being a â€Å"third” only to come plaza to an abusive brother who is always harassing Ender and his baby Valentine and he has the weight of the valet de chambre on his shoulders because they believe that he is the last entrust for mankind to fight rack up the Buggers.\r\n ulterior many years of monitoring Ender the internationalist Fleet decides they want to recruit Ender into battle give instruction, the story’s plot takes off from here where he struggles to grapple with others who turn down him, he struggles with the thought of leaving his tykehood, Valentine and his basis and he is also in the invariant struggle to dominate the strife Room. by and by a few years on this starship Ender becomes demotivated and has to visit humans and discriminate Valentine where he learns about ray of light’s plot to take over the world.\r\n afterward this Ender gets shipped off to Eros, the planet which assertion give instruction is on and where he meets Mazer Rackham, who was the hero of the first copulate invasion, and Mazer begins training Ender on a simulator that learns and gets harder as the Buggers learn from the past. Eventually Ender get the better of the simulator only to invite out he was commanding the real thing and they didn’t tell him because they wanted to keep his emotions out of it.\r\nHe also finds out that land has been taken over by Peter so he and Valentine colonize the greensward’s old planet where he finds a bugger pupa where he indeed decides to tr y and jockstrap it. Ender was a materialisation genius who was a third child or third in a time when having more than two children was considered bad. Because of this he was always teased but his extradite was actually authorized by the presidential term in an attempt to save the world form the Buggers.\r\nEnder changed from innocent and trusting into a hardened and semi-emotionless machine by the suppress of the story. Ender’s brother and sister had a very big influence on Ender, if it weren’t for them being so smart the International Fleet wouldn’t hold back authorized Ender’s birth and if it weren’t for Peter he wouldn’t have known how to cry silently and Valentine helped him cope with Peter while also tenet him how to love and helping him when he visits Earth right before going to Command School.\r\nThe story has many views. The first of which takes place sometime in the future someplace on Earth where there is a constant threa t of a bugger invasion and having a third child is considered bad which made life a lot harder for Ender which was one of many reasons wherefore he left to Battle School. The lay then moves to the spaceship which Battle School is on which doesn’t really indispensability to be on a spaceship unless Orson Scott Card wanted the spaceship to help with the feeling of isolation.\r\nAs the story progresses the mountain moves to the planet Eros which is where he testament be trash the Buggers thinking he is just in a trick but he is really fighting the Buggers. One theme that I spy throughout the novel is how something small bottomland represent something so big bid the gritty that they played in Battle School was a simple game but it was everything they had so it meant so overmuch to them. Another example of this theme is when Ender was in Command School working on the â€Å"simulator” and Ender viewed the game as child’s play when in reality he was fightin g the real war without compensate sharp.\r\nThis keep was interest at the radical because of the way Orson Scott Card introduces you to a new world where you have no predilection what is going on and slowly reveals the setting as you need to learn it, not overloading you with information at the beginning of the book but not leaving you clueless wondering why something just happened. general I thought the book in same mannerk too long to get to the point on certain occasions and I didn’t really find the plot interesting which made it pretty boring.\r\nI find the idea of Ender always being up against opponents older than him or more many than him relatable because sometimes I feel like I am always ignore when I ask for a later bedtime because both of my parents look down on me because I am young. The ending was very interesting when he found out that he just defeated the Buggers without knowing and felt guilty but when he got to the Bugger’s planet he found the pupa and was trying to find a new home for it.\r\n'

'Collaborative Practice in Health Care Essay\r'

' cooperative practice in wellness c be occurs when a segment of the wellness caution team consults with some other member to add forbearing care. collaborationism most often occurs amidst doctors and nannys. â€Å"collaboration is defined as a blood of interdependence; the ability to course in concert involves trust and respect not exclusively of each other scarce of the work and perspectives each contributes to the care of the longanimous” (Phipps and Schaag, 1995, p. 19). rough-and-ready cooperative practice amongst all health care team members leads to continuity of care, skipper interdependence, quality care and longanimous triumph and decreased costs. Ongoing collaboration between health care members results in plebeian respect, trust and an appreciation of what each item-by-item brings to the overall goal in translation care to the client. The following vignette go out provide the foundation for the discussion of cooperative care, differentiating between nursing diagnosing and collaborative lines, and potential barricades to successful collaboration.\r\nJG is a 74 year old married Latino male diagnosed with colon tailcer. He had a history of prosthesis placement of his odd wing lower leg; he is ambulatory. He is a diabetic on viva voce medications. He worked as a arouse laborer. He lives with his wife she does not talk English she is a septmaker. He has a son who lives nearby and a nephew who periodically higgles him. JG mass understand some English. He does concord some difficulty expressing his health perplexitys to the staff because of his limited vocabulary. His son or nephew brings JG to his clinic appointments. He hurtle ons weekly chemotherapy at the out longanimous oncology clinic. The daytime I cared for JG he arrived at the clinic go with by his nephew. This was week seven of his discussion. His tog was dirty, he smelled of stool, his fingernails were dirty, hair uncombed, he appeared to be d ehydrated. He reported bowel movements of octad stools per day with complaints of occasional abdominal cramping. He denied nausea or loss of appetite. He stated that he was very timeworn and was not able to do more than at home.\r\nHis main concern was the relative frequency of his bowel movements. He reports having to go to the rump two to three times during the dark and has episodes of soiling the bed. He reports that sometimes he does not feel the urge to go. JG was exhausting adult diapers. He expressed concern that it was getting expensive for him to get. The nephew confirmed that JG toileting has created a problem in the home. His nephew verbalized that JG had medication for diarrhea but ran out of it and he did not have the money to purchase the medication. When questioned why he was using a wheel hot seat he stated that his foot combat injury to walk the distance from the lobby to the discussion room. He mentioned that it was probably due to an unhealthy toe nail. He in like military personnelner asked how he could obtain a wheel chair for his personal use at home. bodily measurement revealed that he had a necrotic country on the ball of his left foot with surrounding redness, lost 12 pounds in six weeks, poor throw together turgor, active bowel sounds, and his blood nip was slightly lower than baseline.\r\nIn the ambulatory chemotherapy setting, the clients do not always render their medical student every time they turn around treatment. The give suck must ascertain when to join with the doc on issues regarding the uncomplainings stipulation, response to treatment, or toxicities that may be life organism. It is ingrained that the nurse is capable to communicate effectively her-(Be careful with gender bias, nurses come in both genders.) observations to the physician.\r\nCollaborative problems are detected from the nurse’s assessment of the patient. The nurse’s monitoring of the patient status is to evaluate ph ysiological complications that may threaten the patient’s integrity. Management of collaborative problems will include implementing physician convinced(p) and nurse prescribed actions to curtail escalation of the problem and preventing patient harm. From the nurse’s assessment, she in like manner formulates a nursing diagnosis. The nursing diagnoses are stated in the form of the problem, the aetiology and the symptoms that the nurse observes. Nursing diagnosis can include a current or potential problem, an at endangerment problem, or a wellness diagnosis. Nursing diagnosis provides the framework from which the nurse begins to devise a plan of care and nursing interventions.\r\nIn the case of JG, there were two collaborative problems identified. Two problems I cooperated with physician, these were:\r\n1. JG is experiencing toxicity from the chemotherapy. in that location is potential for electrolyte imbalance, circulatory collapse.\r\n2. The necrotic area on his f oot was a refreshed development in his condition. There is potential complication for infection\r\nThe collaborative problems discussed with JG physician and nurse quickly resolved. JG did not receive his chemotherapy. He was disposed an injection of sandostatin LR to suffice minimize his diarrhea; a stat staple fiber metabolic panel was obtained; and he was given intravenous hydration with potassium. The doctor made a referral to JG podiatrist for the next day to assess the integrity of his left foot.\r\nListed are four, but not all, possible nursing diagnosis obtained from my assessment.\r\n1. Diarrhea related to chemotherapy manifested by hyperactive bowel sounds and eight loose stools.\r\n2. bowel incontinence related to loss of rectal sphincter control and chemotherapy manifested by fecal odor, fecal staining of clothing, urgency.\r\n3. Altered keep related to colon cancer manifested by diarrhea, abdominal cramping.\r\n4.Ineffective answerment of therapeutic viands rela ted to JG lack of knowledge of his affection manifested by his inability and unwillingness to manage his symptoms.\r\nConsidering JG comments regarding his finances, his overall physical appearance and the comments from his nephew, I decided to consult with the social prole. I entangle that a home visit or a thorough investigating of JG home situation was warranted.\r\nThe social worker was able to arrange for in home support, and helping the patient with insurance issues so he could obtain the needed supplies. I did not think to enlist the interlocking of the dietician. In retrospect, the dietician would have been a valuable resource to assess JG caloric intake and recommendations for optimal nutrition.\r\nI felt that the above incident demonstrated collaboration amongst health care providers. The physician in this case was receptive to the nurse’s observations with respect to her capabilities of accurate assessment of the patient’s condition and potential compl ications. This is not always the case, barriers to collaboration are also inherent in the health care industry. Barriers occur in patient situations where the physician is not sympathetic or does not trust the nurse’s evaluation of patient condition. The nurse may have feelings of inferiority, lack of confidence and does not fitly collaborate with the physician correct information.\r\nConflicts in the goals desired for the patient is often cited as a barrier to collaboration. I opine an incident of a male patient diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. His appearance was that of an individualist who had been in a Nazi assiduity camp. The nurse wondered why the physician was treating this man aggressively. In her mind, this patient was not an sequester candidate to receive the particular treatment that was ordered. She feared the patient would not tolerate such an aggressive schedule and that it was pointless to put this poor man through treatment. The patient was diagn osed two years ago. He is free receiving treatments, he has gained weight and in October of inhabit year he hiked to the summit of Mt. Whitney.\r\n region conflict is another major barrier to collaboration. To deliver cost effective care, umpteen institutions utilize nurse practitioners and physician assistants. utilisation conflict arises when practitioners have opposing views or expectations (Blais, Hayes, Kozier, & Erb, 2002). Role conflict and can lead to litigation. According to Resnick, physicians hesitate to collaborate informally with Nurse Practitioners for fear of being held liable for the actions of the Nurse Practitioner (Resnick, 2004). attract definition of roles for practitioners is essential to prevent misunderstanding.\r\nIn conclusion, collaborative practice is the gold specimen that health care practioners should strive towards. The nurse is central in determining the patient issues that warrant collaboration and she must be able to effectively communica te her observations. Collaborative practice minimizes complications that could lead to tragic outcomes. The ultimate goal of collaborative practice is to provide the quality service that each patient under our care deserves.\r\nReferences\r\nBlais, K.K., Hayes, J. S., Kozier, B. & Erb, G.

Its pattern of clayey to outlive your past,” he said vitriolicly.\r\nIt occurred to Lissa at that mommyent †and me to by default †retri exactly ifory how hard it might be to be Christian. Most of the time, people treated him like he didnt exist. Like he was a ghost. They didnt public lecture to or roughly him. They undecomposed didnt notice him. The stigma of his parents crime was overly strong, casting its shadow onto the entire Ozera family.\r\nStill, hed nonsensical her off, and she wasnt close to notion sorry for him.\r\nâ€Å"Wait †is this your pity party now?”\r\nHe laughed, most approvingly. â€Å"This room has been my pity party for a year now.”\r\nâ€Å"Sorry,” said Lissa snarkily. â€Å"I was coming here before I left.

Is that the merely causality you go? To look good?” Strigoi couldnt scratch holy ground. More of that sinning-against-the-world thing.\r\nâ€Å"Sure,” he said. â€Å" wherefore else go? For the good of your soul?”\r\nâ€Å"Whatever,” said Lissa, who clearly had a different opinion. â€Å"Ill leave you alone indeed.”\r\nâ€Å"Wait,” he said again. He didnt seem to want her to go. â€Å"Ill make you a deal.

And in all of that, no one, no one ever questioned that erroneous story that locomote told about there being all sorts of fringe homo who let you take relationship.”\r\nShe looked extraneous, and I could olfactory modality her cheeks starting to burn. â€Å"Its not stupid. Or a story.”\r\nHe laughed softly. â€Å"Ive lived with humans. My aunt and I extended aside later my parents?­ occurd. Its not that easy to get a line line of business.” When she didnt answer, he laughed again. â€Å"It was Rose, wasnt it? She fed you.”\r\nA regenerate fear shot finished and finished twain her and me. No one at give instruction could know about that. Kirova and the withstanders on the video knew, except theyd kept that knowledge to themselves.\r\nâ€Å"Well. If thats not friendship, I dont know what it is,” he said.\r\nâ€Å"You cant tell anyone,” she blurted out.\r\nThis was all we needed. As Id incisively been reminded, feeders were vampire-bite addicts. We accept that as part of life precisely electrostatic looked down on them for it. For anyone else †in particular a dhampir †letting a Moroi take blood from you was almost, well, dirty. In fact, one of the kinkiest, very much pornographic things a dhampir could do was let a Moroi drink blood during sex.\r\nLissa and I hadnt had sex, of course, but wed some(prenominal) known what another(prenominal)s would think of me feeding her.\r\nâ€Å"Dont tell anyone,” Lissa repeated.\r\nHe thrusted his detention in his coat pockets and sat down on one of the crates. â€Å"Who am I exhalation to tell? Look, go trance the windowpane seat. You can have it today and see out for a succession. If youre not tranquillise afraid of me.”\r\nShe hesitated, studying him. He looked dark and surly, lips curled in a s ort of Im-such-a-rebel smirk. yet he didnt look too dangerous. He didnt look Strigoi. Gingerly, she sat choke down in the window seat, unconsciously rubbing her arms against the cold.\r\nChristian watched her, and a moment later, the air warm up considerably.\r\nLissa met Christians eyes and smiled, surprised shed neer noticed how icy blue they were before. â€Å"You specialise in fire?”\r\nHe nodded and pulled up a broken chair. â€Å"Now we have luxury accommodations.”\r\nI snapped out of the vision.\r\nâ€Å"Rose? Rose?”\r\nBlinking, I focused on Dimitris face. He was leaning toward me, his yields gripping my shoulders. Id stopped walking; we stood in the midst of the quad separating the upper school buildings.\r\nâ€Å"argon you all right?”\r\nâ€Å"I?­yeah. I was?­I was with Lissa?­” I put a overstep to my fore channelise. Id never had such a long or clear flake offowship like that. â€Å"I was in her head.”\r\n†Å"Her?­head?”\r\nâ€Å"Yeah. Its part of the bond.” I didnt genuinely feel like elaborating.\r\nâ€Å"Is she all right?”\r\nâ€Å"Yeah, shes?­” I hesitated. Was she all right? Christian Ozera had just invited her to hang out with him. Not good. at that place was â€Å"coasting through the middle,” and thence there was play to the dark side. But the feelings humming through our bond were no longer stir or upset. She was almost content, though still a little nervous. â€Å"Shes not in danger,” I finally said. I hoped.\r\nâ€Å" open fire you keep vent?”\r\nThe hard, stoic warrior Id met former was gone †just for a moment †and he actually looked concerned. Truly concerned. effect his eyes on me like that make something flutter inside of me †which was stupid, of course. I had no reason to get all goofy, just because the man was too good- feeling for his own good. later all, he was an antisocial god, fit in to Mason. One who was supposedly sacking to leave me in all sorts of pain.\r\nâ€Å"Yeah. Im fine.”\r\nI went into the lyceums book binding room and changed into the workout clothes psyche had finally thought to give me by and by a day of practicing in jeans and a T-shirt. Gross. Lissa hanging out with Christian trouble me, but I shoved that thought away for later as my muscles informed me they did not want to go through any more(prenominal) exercise today.\r\nSo I suggested to Dimitri that maybe he should let me off this time.\r\nHe laughed, and I was pretty sure it was at me and not with me.\r\nâ€Å"Why is that left over(p)?”\r\nâ€Å"Oh,” he said, his smile dropping. â€Å"You were serious.”\r\nâ€Å"Of course I was! Look, Ive technically been awake for both days. Why do we have to start this learn now? Let me go to bed,” I whined. â€Å"Its just one hour.”\r\nHe get across his arms and looked down at me. His earlier concern was gone. He was all handicraft now. Tough love. â€Å"How do you feel right now? After the training youve through so far?”\r\nâ€Å"I scathe like hell.”\r\nâ€Å"Youll feel worse tomorrow.”\r\nâ€Å"So?”\r\nâ€Å"So, better to jump in now turn you still feel?­not as rotten.”\r\nâ€Å"What kind of logic is that?” I retorted.\r\nBut I didnt argue anymore as he led me into the tip room. He showed me the weights and reps he wanted me to do, then sprawled in a corner with a battered Western novel. Some god.\r\nWhen I finished, he stood beside me and demonstrated a some cool-down stretches.\r\nâ€Å"Howd you end up as Lissas guardian?” I asked. â€Å"You werent here a a couple of(prenominal) years ago. Were you even trained at this school?”\r\n He didnt answer right away. I got the feeling he didnt talk about himself very often. â€Å"No. I attended the one in Siberia.”\r\nâ€Å"Whoa. Thats got to be the only place w orse than Montana.”\r\nA glint of something †maybe amusement †sparked in his eyes, but he didnt acknowledge the joke. â€Å"After I graduated, I was a guardian for a Zeklos lord. He was killed recently.” His smile dropped, his face grew dark. â€Å"They sent me here because they needed extras on campus. When the princess turned up, they assigned me to her, since Id already be near. Not that it matters until she leaves campus.”\r\nI thought about what hed said before. Some Strigoi killed the clapperclaw he was supposed to have been guarding? â€Å"Did this lord die on your watch?”\r\nâ€Å"No. He was with his other guardian. I was away.”\r\nHe fell silent, his mind obviously somewhere else. The Moroi expect a lot from us, but they did actualise that the guardians were †more or less †only human. So, guardians got pay and time off like youd get in any other job. Some hard-core guardians †like my mom †refused passs, vow ing never to leave their Morois sides. Looking at Dimitri now, I had a feeling he might very well turn into one of those. If hed been away on certain leave, he could hardly blame himself for what happened to that guy. Still, he probably did anyway. Id blame myself too if something happened to Lissa.\r\nâ€Å"Hey,” I said, suddenly wanting to cheer him up, â€Å"did you sponsor come up with the plan to get us moxie? Because it was pretty good. beastly force and all that.”\r\nHe bend an eyebrow curiously. Cool. Id always wished I could do that. â€Å"Youre complimenting me on that?”\r\nâ€Å"Well, it was a hell of a lot better than the last one they tried.”\r\nâ€Å"Last one?”\r\nâ€Å"Yeah. In Chicago. With the involve of psi-hounds.”\r\nâ€Å"This was the first time we found you. In Portland.”\r\nI sat up from my stretches and go across my legs. â€Å"Um, I dont think I imagined psi-hounds. Who else could have sent them? They only answer to Moroi. perhaps no one told you about it.”\r\nâ€Å" by chance,” he said dismissively. I could tell by his face he didnt believe that.\r\nI returned to the novices dorm aft(prenominal)ward that. The Moroi students lived on the other side of the quad, close upr to the commons. The living arrangements were partly based on convenience. Being here kept us novices closer to the gym and training grounds. But we alike lived apiece to accommodate the differences in Moroi and dhampir lifestyles. Their dorm had almost no windows, aside from tinted ones that dimmed sunlight. They also had a special section where feeders always stayed on hand. The novices dorm was built in a more open way, allowing for more light.\r\nI had my own room because there were so few novices, let alone girls. The room theyd given me was small and plain, with a twin bed and a desk with a computer. My few belongings had been spirited out of Portland and now sat in boxes near the room. I rummaged through them, pulling out a T-shirt to sleep in. I found a couple of pictures as I did, one of Lissa and me at a football game in Portland and some other taken when Id gone on vacation with her family, a year before the accident.\r\nI set them on my desk and booted up the computer. Someone from tech support had helpfully given me a sheet with book of instructions for renewing my e-mail account and cathode-ray oscilloscope up a password. I did both, cheerful to discover no one had cognize that this would serve as a way for me to communicate with Lissa. Too tired to spell to her now, I was about to turn everything off when I noticed I already had a message. From Janine Hathaway. It was short:\r\nIm glad youre back. What you did was inexcusable.\r\nâ€Å" roll in the hay you too, Mom,” I muttered, shutting it all down.\r\nWhen I went to bed afterward, I passed out before even hitting the pillow, and just as Dimitri had predicted, I felt ten times worse when I wok e up the contiguous morning. Lying there in bed, I reconsidered the perks of running away. Then I remembered getting my ass kicked and figured the only way to prevent that from happening again was to go endure some more of it this morning.\r\nMy warmness made it all that much worse, but I survived the before-school practice with Dimitri and my subsequent classes without brief out or fainting.\r\nAt lunch, I dragged Lissa away from Natalies table early and gave her a Kirova-worthy lecture about Christian †particularly chastising her for letting him know about our blood arrangement. If that got out, itd kill both of us socially and I didnt trust him not to tell.\r\nLissa had other concerns.\r\nâ€Å"You were in my head again?” she exclaimed. â€Å"For that long?”\r\nâ€Å"I didnt do it on purpose,” I argued. â€Å"It just happened. And thats not the point. How long did you hang out with him afterward?”\r\nâ€Å"Not that long. It was kind of?­fun .”\r\nâ€Å"Well, you cant do it again. If people find out youre hanging out with him, theyll crucify you.” I eyed her warily. â€Å"You arent, like, into him, are you?”\r\nShe scoffed. â€Å"No. Of course not.\r\nâ€Å"Good. Because if youre going to go after a guy, steal Aaron back.” He was boring, yes, but safe. just now like Natalie. How come all the clean people were so lame? Maybe that was the definition of safe.\r\nShe laughed. â€Å"Mia would claw my eyes out.”\r\nâ€Å"We can take her. Besides, he deserves someone who doesnt pasture at Gap Kids.”\r\nâ€Å"Rose, youve got to stop proverb things like that.”\r\nâ€Å"Im just saying what you wont.”\r\nâ€Å"Shes only a year younger,” said Lissa. She laughed. â€Å"I cant believe you think Im the one whos going to get us in trouble.”\r\n prosperous as we strolled toward class, I gave her a obliquely glance. â€Å"Aaron does look pretty good though, huh?à ¢â‚¬Â\r\nShe smiled back and avoided my eyes. â€Å"Yeah. Pretty good.”\r\nâ€Å"Ooh. You see? You should go after him.”\r\nâ€Å"Whatever. Im fine being friends now.”\r\nâ€Å"Friends who used to quiver their tongues down each others throats.”\r\nShe rolled her eyes.\r\nâ€Å"Fine.” I let my teasing go. â€Å"Let Aaron stay in the nursery school. Just so long as you stay away from Christian. Hes dangerous.”\r\nâ€Å"Youre overreacting. Hes not going Strigoi.”\r\nâ€Å"Hes a bad influence.”\r\nShe laughed. â€Å"You think Im in danger of going Strigoi?”\r\nShe didnt wait for my answer, instead pushing frontwards to open the door to our science class. stand up there, I uneasily replayed her words and then followed a moment later. When I did, I got to see royal power in action. A few guys †with giggling, watching girls †were messing with a gangly-looking Moroi. I didnt know him very well, but I knew he was po or and sure as shooting not royal. A couple of his tormentors were air-magic users, and theyd short-winded the papers off his desk and were pushing them around the room on currents of air while the guy tried to catch them.\r\nMy instincts urged me to do something, maybe go smack one of the air users. But I couldnt make clean a fight with everyone who annoyed me, and for sure not a group of royals †particularly when Lissa needed to stay off their radar. So I could only give them a look of disgust as I walked to my desk. As I did, a hand caught my arm. Jesse.\r\nâ€Å"Hey,” I said jokingly. Fortunately, he didnt appear to be participating in the torture session. â€Å"Hands off the merchandise.”\r\nHe flashed me a smile but kept his hand on me. â€Å"Rose, tell Paul about the time you started the fight in Ms. Karps class.”\r\nI cocked my head toward him, giving him a mocking smile. â€Å"I started a lot of fights in her class.”\r\nâ€Å"The one with the hermit crab. And the gerbil.”\r\nI laughed, recalling it. â€Å"Oh yeah. It was a hamster, I think. I just dropped it into the crabs tank, and they were both worked up from being so close to me, so they went at it.”\r\nPaul, a guy sitting nearby whom I didnt really know, chuckled too. Hed transferred last year, apparently, and hadnt heard of this. â€Å"Who won?”\r\nI looked at Jesse quizzically. â€Å"I dont remember. Do you?”\r\nâ€Å"No. I just remember Karp freaking out.” He turned toward Paul. â€Å"Man, you should have seen this messed-up teacher we used to have. Used to think people were after her and would go off on stuff that didnt make any sense. She was nuts. Used to veer campus while everyone was asleep.”\r\nI smiled tightly, like I thought it was funny. Instead, I thought back to Ms. Karp again, surprised to be thinking about her for the second time in two days. Jesse was right †she had wandered campus a lot when s he still worked here. It was pretty creepy. Id run into her once †unexpectedly.\r\nId been acclivity out of my dorm window to go hang out with some people. It was after hours, and we were all supposed to be in our rooms, fast asleep. Such escape manoeuvre were a regular practice for me. I was good at them.\r\nBut I fell that time. I had a second-floor room, and I lost my grip about halfway down. Sensing the ground rush up toward me, I tried desperately to childs play hold of something and slow my fall. The buildings rough lapidate tore into my skin, causing cuts I was too preoccupied to feel. I slammed into the grassy earth, back first, getting the wind knocked out of me.\r\nâ€Å" poisonous form, Rosemarie. You should be more careful. Your instructors would be disappointed.”\r\nPeering through the tangle of my hair, I saw Ms. Karp looking down at me, a bemused look on her face. Pain, in the meantime, shot through every part of my body.\r\nIgnoring it as best I coul d, I clambered to my feet. Being in class with Crazy Karp while surrounded by other students was one thing. Standing outside alone with her was an entirely different matter. She always had an eerie, distracted glimmer in her eye that made my skin break out in hombre bumps.\r\nThere was also now a high likelihood shed drag me off to Kirova for a detention. Scarier still.\r\nInstead, she just smiled and reached for my hands. I flinched but let her take them. She tsked when she saw the scrapes. change her grip on them, she frowned slightly. A shake burned my skin, laced with a sort of pleasant buzz, and then the wounds closed up. I had a brief sense of dizziness. My temperature spiked. The blood disappeared, as did the pain in my hip and leg.\r\nGasping, I jerked my hands away. Id seen a lot of Moroi magic, but never anything like that.\r\nâ€Å"What?­what did you do?”\r\nShe gave me that weird smile again. â€Å"Go back to your dorm, Rose. There are bad things out here. You never know whats following you.”\r\nI was still staring at my hands. â€Å"But?­”\r\nI looked back up at her and for the first time noticed scars on the sides of her forehead. Like nails had dug into them. She winked. â€Å"I wont tell on you if you dont tell on me.”\r\nI jumped back to the present, unsettled by the computer storage of that bizarre night. Jesse, in the meantime, was telling me about a party.\r\nâ€Å"Youve got to brake shoe your leash tonight. Were going up to that spot in the woodwind instrument around eight thirty. Mark got some weed.”\r\nI sighed wistfully, regret replacing the cool down Id felt over the memory of Ms. Karp. â€Å"Cant slip that leash. Im with my Russian jailer.”\r\nHe let go of my arm, looking disappointed, and ran a hand through his bronze-colored hair. Yeah. Not being able to hang out with him was a damned shame. I really would have to fix that someday. â€Å"Cant you ever get off for good doings? ” he joked.\r\nI gave him what I hoped was a seductive smile as I found my seat. â€Å"Sure,” I called over my shoulder. â€Å"If I was ever good.”\r\n'

'The Historic Rise of Christian Fundamentalism in the United States in the Late Nineteenth Century.\r'

'Fundamentalism is a spiritual rejoinder to contemporaneousness. Although the term is frequently utilize in a familiar context to hateful any ghostlike fleck perceived to be traditional, archaic or scripture-bound, it has a peak essence from an diachronic perspective, and a genealogy which has seen the term dislodge from the self-referential description of a mathematical functionicular sacred group, to a term which may have lost its intrusion by means of mis sharpend, and indiscriminate, application.Originally used by a specific group of American Protestants, who shared a akin demesne-view and pietism, Fundamentalism grew from privates at heart disparate denominations finding common drive to an organized feces with the power to challenge modernity at the level of the courtroom and the popular press. This look for forget exact rightful(prenominal) how we can storey for Fundamentalism’s emergence in the US by first considering its historical roots w ithin the grand Awakening, and up to the 1920’s with the Scopes â€Å"Monkey” running play.Secondly it pass on consider the theological systemal innovations that under(a)pinned Fundamentalism by exploring both Dispensationalism and Premillenarianism, before lastly placing Fundamentalism within its sociological background by look at broader cultural movements in American society, and considering how removes in both the scientific and understanding spheres challenged the traditional butt of evangelistic Protestantism. deli truly boyian fundamentalism has been succinctly defined by George Marsden as â€Å"militantly anti-modernist Protestant evangelisticism. In the latter part of the 19th century and into the first decades of the 20th they genuine specific smells and operating principles that set them apart from what was, in their view, dangerously liberal evangelical Protestantism. In a post-Darwinian world the Protestant worldview, extraly in the US, came under a public figure of specific threats from advances in attainment and contemporary intellectual developments. Unlike the liberals, who sought agree with these developments, it was the fundamentalists â€Å"chief duty to combat uncompromisingly ‘modernist’ morality and sure profaneizing cultural trends. ” This militant tendency would finally lead them to challenge modernity in the courtroom, and by utilizing the political frame to achieve their ends. Although fundamentalists were anti-modernity, they were non anti-modern in their readiness to embrace raw(a) forms of communication media. sensitivespapers, publishing, flick and radio were all exploited as potent methods to publicize their maturenda. The very term â€Å"Fundamentalism” was coined in 1920, in the Watchman-Examiner pertlyspaper, by Curtis Lee Laws, who defined fundamentalists as those urinate to â€Å"do battle royal for the Fundamentals. Traditional evangelicalism, from w hich Fundamentalism would grow, had taken shape during the Great Awakening of the 18th century. A serial of rescuerian revivals had brought together a number of disparate movements, and blended Calvinist and Methodist theologies on with experiential conversion into a powerful and popular the Nazareneian movement. It also preached on the evils of alcoholic drinkic drink and opposite forms of vice, in addition to the pauperism to evangelize to the low for their moral renewal through and through with(predicate) a fond Gospel that emphasized personal piety and faithful works. Nineteenth century America started out as an overwhelmingly Protestant country.The specific lineage of the majority group was traced back to northern European ancestry, from the settlers who had traveled across the Atlantic in search of republic in which they might practice a really reformed Christianity. Different colonies along the eastern seaside had been under the theocratic rule of the differen t Protestant sects, unless all had a common objective in implementing perfection’s will as laid out in the countersign. This would all interchange with the arrival in the 1820s off the first heavy(p) scale immigration of Catholics, along with Jews and former(a) religious minorities.Together with homegrown religious movements like the Mormons, these new groups solely changed the religious landscape of the US, and helped to reconcile the different Protestant groups to angiotensin-converting enzyme a nonher. Evangelicalism emerged as a â€Å"voluntary tie of believers founded on the authority of the Bible alone. ” The evolutionary theories of Charles Darwin had a profoundly worring effect on the victorian Protestant mindset. They, along with advances in philology, geology and the historical critical method of Biblical scholarship began to undermine the foundations of religious certitude.The Bible had been seen as the very boy of divinity fudge and was then the moreover guide a Christian would need to guide her through the ethical and moral attempts of life, safe in the k without delayledge that God’s will was being followed. The Bible had always been revered as â€Å"the revealed word of God, correct in every detail and in need of no addition” to the text, and yet it was instanter under su markinged questioning within academia. Towards the end of the 19th century an interdenominational evangelist ne cardinalrk, which sought to counter these trends, began to take shape or so the era’s great evangelist, Dwight L.Moody. A one-time enclothe salesman, Moody had a conversion live to evangelicalism. after a massively popular tour of Ireland and the UK in the mid 19th century he checked to the US as a preacher with the power to guide very large audiences. Moody was of the generation instantly preceding that of the Fundamentalists, plainly he had nonetheless provided them with a sufficiently well developed ne dev ilrk (which include his famous Bible Institute), and a strong magnetized personality about which the emerging movement could coalesce.Moody, who could non countenance â€Å"Liberals in what they were commandment or doing to the Christian Faith”, found common ground with Fundamentalist thinkers and opinion shapers. Starting in 1910 a series of small booklets appeared called â€Å"The Fundamentals”. Each booklet contained a series of essays by a leading evangelical thinker, plus a number of personal stories that demonstrate to a entireized evangelicalism.Although Fundamentalism, as we now know it, did not emerge as an absolute political orientation from this military issue alone, it was emerging as a broad movement within evangelical Protestantism as more of its rank took an increasingly hard line on modernity. As they saw themselves â€Å"losing control of their churches, their families, their working environments, their schools and their nation” certain m embers withdrew into a specific eschatological belief system and a principle of separatism from liberal Protestant thinkers.Organized around a system of Bible â€Å"conventions” that were held in the birthplace of Fundamentalism, new England, leading evangelistic preachers and scholars contemp late(a)d their â€Å" encounter to modernist theology and to some of the relativistic cultural changes that modernism embraced. ” Relativism, curiously where the revealed word of God was concerned, was a hate innovation. Fundamentalists refused to acknowledge the relative merit of each religion, or each Christian denomination; either their beliefs were compensate and were worth defending, or they were wrong.They would defend an absolute truth, but not a relative one. The second decade of the 20th century saw the Fundamentalists win two important battles, but gain public traducement as a direct number. The first, the Scopes â€Å"Monkey” trial of 1925, was a victor y that saw the courts uphold the teaching of the Genesis account of valet de chambre origins over the experiential Darwinian view. The case became a cause celebre throughout the US, and opened up the Fundamentalist amaze to widespread ridicule through a largely belligerent press. The second front in which they had a pyric victory was over prohibition.The ban on alcohol outgo was in place from 1919-1933, during which time illegal alcohol distillation and sales fueled the rise of maffia organizations, and encouraged political and police corruption. Public ethical motive did not increase as a result of banning alcohol, and the public resented the intrusion of religious ideology into public life. Afterwards Fundamentalists largely withdrew from public life to nurse their wounds and regroup, rather than retreat. Fundamentalism arose as a â€Å"historically new religious movement with distinguish fittingive beliefs” from its plinth in evangelical Protestantism.These beliefs , which they would go to great lengths to conjure and defend, centered on their own conception of themselves as a special volume in God’s eyes with a Biblically mandated mission to pay back the way for the deteriorate of Christ. The two virtually sign beliefs, which defined the Protestant Christian Fundamentalist, were dispensationalism and premillenarianism. Fundamentalists drew their theology from a f efficient reading of Christian scripture, with a special emphasis being placed on the eschatological books of Revelation and Daniel, from which they were up to(p) to discern God’s plan for man benign’s future.A typographical error interpretation of Holy Scripture demands the believer is able to trust the text as a revealed stock of God’s will. Fundamentalists believed the Bible to be the actual word of God, as revealed to the authors of the various books it contains. The put across it contains essential be divinely valueed; free from the erro rs human agency is so prone to. Inerrancy in the Bible, specifically the King James version, was the central pillar Fundamentalist theologians developed their understanding of God’s will upon.They believed the Bible free from all mistakes, errors and faults; that it was in an unaltered condition since the earliest days of Christianity’s set up fathers. It could therefore be absolutely relied upon by the individual for her understanding of the words and deeds of Christ, his followers and his message of salvation. It was the â€Å"infallible word of God and hence anything which challenged it…was not just wrong but sinful…” especially for the evangelical who took a liberal position, and risked personal eternal damnation by doing so.Another central tenant, that of â€Å"dispensationalism”, became a hallmark belief for Fundamentalists. It is a scheme for â€Å"interpreting all of biography on the basis of the Bible, following the principle of à ¢â‚¬Ëœliteral where possible. ’” They believed that history was divided up into seven distinct eras, or dispensations. Each of these eras was marked by a catastrophe for mankind, so the first dispensation was recorded in Genesis as the period of Eden, which culminated in the protuberance of Adam and Eve from the earthly paradise with the stain of original sin.Others dispensations ended with Noah and the flood, or the Tower of Babel and reciprocally incomprehensible languages etc. The present age was know as the â€Å"age of the Church” and would culminate in the apocalypse as foretold by the revelation of potty in the New Testament. This would be followed by the return of Christ to earth and the final of the seven dispensations; that of the run of God on earth. The revelation of John, as taken by the Fundamentalists, speaks of a period of time add up one thousand years in which Christ will reign before judgment on humanity.Theological debate within evangelic al Christianity takes two approaches to just when the millennium will take place †one side, the moderate evangelicals, believes there will be a millennium followed by judgement and the other side, that of the Fundamentalists, believes that Christ will return first, judge human kind and institute the period of heaven on earth. This belief, of Christ’s return followed by the millennium, is known as premillenarianism and became for Christians with fundamentalist leanings the focal point for both their heological positioning, and for communicate both their political and companionable policies. Moderate evangelical millenarians believed that helping those worse off in this world, the silly and the destitute, would bring about Christ’s return through instigating a period of prosperity first, hence they involved themselves in the social Gospel through good works and charity. Premillenarians, on the other hand, waited on the return of Christ first and therefore did not believe that charitable work would save souls from the approach shot judgment.Theological development within fundamentalism was therefore a reply to greater sociological conditions prevalent in the US in the earliest decades of the 20th century. Post-war America was a radically different country than it had been just two generations before. Sociological conditions had altered in ways that create a response from some Protestants that were analogous to the experience of ethno-cultural groups newly arrived in the US; Protestants had, in Marsden’s analogy, â€Å"experienced the transition from the old world of the ordinal century to the new world of the twentieth alone involuntarily. Fundamentalists had experienced a traumatic cultural stroke as the result of changes to American society that had been rapid, far-ranging and decisive. morphological changes within the family, the work place and the political order had dislodged the Protestant world-view in the US from a po sition of being, in their view, normative to a relative position in the panoply of religious identities in the modern American experience. Traditional Protestantism was â€Å"no longer a function of necessity; it was a choice and a vacuous activity. This fragmentation of Protestant identity was a mirror of broader changes that had taken place within society. Social institutions had undergone a shift, within modernity, that fed into the Fundamentalist idea of change as anathema to stability and as undermining a true understanding of Christianity, and its role as the only sure path to personal salvation. The family unit had been, within living memory for many of Fundamentalism’s early adherents, a stable basis upon which to build the religious life.As an agrarian unit, the family had encouraged hierarchy with the father on top of a structure that spent most of its time together. This was necessary for the time consuming, and expensive, business of unpolished production. Fam ily life, which included work, education, prayer and social instruction, had once guaranteed the generation of the next generation of family, worker and religious adherent. modernism brought new social roles, and new forms of social mobilization, through factory production and office work.Men, and to a lesser degree women, now traveled to a place of employment outside of the family home. The area of the US that had seen the greatest amount of industrialization, the Northeast, was also the area that gave birth to Fundamentalism. As new opportunities to better oneself socially and financially arose so did new forms of egalitarianism. The needs of a developing industrial society called for the individualization of people through empowering them to find personal decisions about where they would live, marry and pray.Within the cities many people began to explore new forms of spiritual expression, with substantial total of people returning to traditional branches of a Protestantism whi ch was now exploring new theologies, such as premillenarianism, in response to anomic uncertainty. Fundamentalism attracted growing numbers of people in urban, rather than rural, settings through marginalization and alienation. â€Å"The growth of fundamentalist churches…was largely through conversion” of individuals within the metropolis seeking the assurances offered by the theological assertions of the most radical Protestant sects.The position of the Bible as the unerring word of God had come under goodish pressure from science through the application of historical critical methodologies, as well as other from other disciplines that were investigating the Bible from new intellectual perspectives, and so had conceded it’s role of containing an ultimate truth. piece of music nominally this would affect all Christianity’s, including Roman Catholicism, the Protestant principle of Sola Scriptura, the individual ability to interpret the word of God withou t an intermediary, left them particularly venerable to the accelerate pace of scientific progress.While many liberal Protestant theologians were willing to concede to â€Å"lower criticism”, or the critique of the human authorship of the Bible, Fundamentalists could not prevaricate when a literal interpretation informed their very world-view, and their relationship to society and culture. It was not any particular movement in science, be it â€Å"hard” empiricist philosophy of Darwin or the â€Å"soft” theorizing of the Humanities, that ultimately upset the Fundamentalists as much as the aggregate of suspicion that now hung over the entire Christian project.Religion was â€Å"challenged less by specific scientific discoveries than by the underlying logic of science (indeed, rationality)” which had come full circle with the technical ability that had allowed America to enter into a world war as a super power. The social power to drive the new century was emaciated from scientific rationalism, and not, as it had been in the past, from reliance upon the sacred. Fundamentalism was at war with modernity, and wished to reassert the old certainties in an age that had embraced their decline in favor of immediate blase ability.Protestant Fundamentalism arose as a response to modernity during the late 19th and early 20th century. Faced with a number of challenges on different fronts it developed a theological foundation that marked it off as a distinct religious phenomenon. Born of the schisms native in Protestantism since the reformation, it attracted adherents through a militant defence of traditional religious values that were increasingly undermined as progress in science questioned the Biblical narrative.Dispensationalism, and premillenarianism, in addition to a principle off separatism from liberal Protestant evangelicals, combined to give this new group a powerful voice in American religious life. At their height the fundamentali sts were able to successfully challenge the American establishment through a highly publicized court trial that pitted modernity’s champions against religion’s staunchest defenders. At the same time their political incline was such that their dream of public moral novelty through the wholesale ban on alcohol consumption demonstrated their ability to mount effective campaigns, and win.These victories turned out to be Fundamentalism’s undoing, at least where the general public was concerned, as the promotional material generated by the Fundamentalists engendered public ridicule and resentment towards this new group. American society had changed radically from the victorian religious society, placed on the principles that had once been clearly silent through a thorough individual instauration in the Bible, to a society that was increasingly materialistic, secular and diverse. As the Fundamentalists withdrew to regroup, and quietly build their power base throu gh their own separate nstitutions, they would later reemerge to compensate their challenge to modernity within American society.

'Forensic Psychology and Jury Selection Essay\r'

'Modern nefarious trial practice demands that the law as an faculty member discipline cannot exist in a vacancy; quite the contrary, the law must be viewed as an overriding compensate of principles which must be viewed in conjunction with other academic disciplines (Carson & Bull, 2003). This is in accompaniment true in the case of instrument panel option in crook trials where the law has been combined with rhetorical psychology.\r\nThis essay ordain discuss the policy profound the incorporation of rhetorical psychology into formal evil proceedings, the precise role of the forensic psychologist in board selection, and what examples of juror risk factors are of particular interests to public prosecutors and apology lawyers. Forensic psychological science and the Law If the mean of the effectual process is the discovery of truth, and the guarantee of justice, then it is necessity that legal procedures facilitate these objectives. control board selection, the research has demonstrated, has contributed to legion(predicate) miscarriages of justice in turn cases; indeed, one scholarly person has pointed out that\r\nIn the incidence of capital cases, the U. S. lordly Court has recognized what research has long sh let: Jurors often ground sentencing decisions prematurely, and they often base their decisions on their private reactions to the defendant, their confusion about the regularisations of law, and their lack of understanding regarding their own role and responsibilities (Schroeder, Guin, Pogue & Bordelan, 2006). As a precede of this well-known data, efforts have been made to provide for part jury selection procedures.\r\nThis has involved a multidisciplinary go about in which lawyers, both prosecutors and defense reaction attorneys, have carry the services of forensic psychologists in order to catch better decisions during voir frightful. On the one hand, it is hoped as a matter of sound public policy that expert j urors allow for be selected and that truth and justice will prevail. One the other hand, the authority for ab practice of the savage justice system exists because prosecutors and defense attorneys may use the juror profiles prepared by the forensic psychologists in order to win their case rather than to retard a neutral type of justice.\r\nForensic Psychology and Jury Selection Generally speaking, a forensic psychologist is enlisted in criminal trials in order to make psychological prisements about individuals and a certain curing of facts underlying a particular type of criminal case. Jan Mills Saeth, a jury consultant who plant life with forensic psychologists in order to conduct voir dire on behalf of clients in criminal cases, has stated that â€Å"Jury selection implys helping the trial team head off risky jurors, and I help develop a juror profile, voir dire questions, and jury questionnaires. (â€Å"Behavi oral examination write: A Panel of Experts,” 2007).\r \nGenerally speaking, therefore, the fundamental purpose of the forensic psychologist is to identify potentially risky jurors. What constitutes a risk depends on who the forensic psychologist is representing and whether the nature of the particular criminal allegations. Risk refers to some factor or set of factors which might predispose a potential juror to making certain types of assumptions, to harboring certain types of warp, or to in some way being psychologically disinclined to vote in favor of the forensic psychologist’s client.\r\nThere are numerous tools apply by forensic psychologists in order to assess a juror’s risk factors during the jury selection process. These tools may include written questions, oral questions posed by an attorney after citation with the forensic psychologist, and other non-verbal clues. The totality of this information is cool and the forensic psychologist then constructs a series of juror profiles which the attorney can then revie w in order to decide which jurors to retain and which jurors to challenge or dismiss.\r\nOne of the difficulties is the fact that, in criminal trials, prosecutors and defense attorneys are zealous adversaries. They are thus undeniable to seek to present their case in the luminosity most favorable to their respective clients; to this end, as is relevant to this paper, the prosecutors and the defense attorneys are interested in jurors whom will be the most receptive to their particular rendering of the facts, whom are most likely to be swayed by certain facts and witnesses, and whom are most likely to rule in their favor (Tsushima & Anderson, 1996).\r\nA prosecutor will seek jurors that possess some psychological tendency to agree with the case in general, to sympathize with law enforcement or a particular type of victim, or some other type of bias that supports their case. Psychological traits favored by many prosecutors include a corporate trust or confidence in authority fig ures, a generalized conception that the American criminal justice system is fair and reasonable, and a psychological tendency to agree with majority opinions.\r\nA defense attorney will be have-to doe with with similar issues; however, the defense will also indispensability to choose jurors whom possess a different set of psychological traits. More specifically, a defense attorney will seek individuals that distrust rather than trust authority figures, that question more than acquiesce to majority opinions, and that demonstrate strong feelings of sympathy or empathy. shoemakers last In the final analysis, while forensic psychology can be enormously useful in predicting juror behavior, it can also be misapply if prosecutors and defense attorneys do not place professional ethics above the winning of criminal cases.\r\nThe culture of jury selection ought to be the selection of a jury which will weigh evidence objectively and critically without falling back on immaterial informat ion in order to render a verdict. Forensic psychologists can contribute meaningfully to the criminal justice system, but it is necessary to make accredited that their psychological insights are not used by unscrupulous prosecutors and defense lawyers to pervert truth and justice.\r\n'

However, on the positive side, the interpret did include a large sample of patients and the outcomes were consistent with the outcomes of the similar studies. reputation #2 AbstractThe second study that I selected, â€Å"The impact of depression on the outcome of addictions treatment” conducted also by Dara Charney, MD, Antonios Paraherakis, BSc, et al, focussed on preponderance of depression among men and women who entered the outpatient program for substance use disorder treatment. The objectives of the study were to find out whether it was simple depression or substance-induced depression, presentation of specific features of depression and the impact of depression on treatment out comes. The research sample included 75 patients of the MGH addictions unit. 97% of the sample commonwealth was Caucasian, 61. 3% were male and 38. % were female, all of mean age of 40. 5 years old. Subjects were consecutively recruited upon entering treatment and no exclusion criteria were applied. At intake 22. 4% of patients exhibited primary election depressive disorder, 8. 4% had substance-induced depressions. At 3 months follow up 93. 3% of patients were reinterviewed. Participants who dropped out of the outpatient treatment were also invited to participate in the interview (35% of the sample). The study cerebrate that patients, who in the beginning of the study presented with primary depressive disorder, had recollectiveer eon of abstinence and great decreases in symptomatology.Patients with substance-induced depression almost completely halt using their primary substance. Critique of study #2 One of the drawbacks of this study is a small sample size: only 75 patients participated. Sample macrocosm was not different either: the majority of participants were white males. The duration of the study makes the validity of the outcomes questionable, based on the recurring record of depressive disorder. However, the results were consistent with the results of similar studies. Study #3 AbstractThe third base study I selected, â€Å"The bureau of psychiatric disorders in predicting drug dependence treatment outcomes” conducted by Wilson Compton, MD, et al, examined what role co morbid psychiatric disorders played in the outcomes of treatment of drug- restricted subjects. The researchers used a sample of 401 subjects from a variety of facilities in the St. Louis neighborhood: public outpatient mender clinics, two drug-free outpatient programs, two drug-free yardbird programs, an outpatient program for drug-abusing prostitutes, and a residential recovery security for women. The sample was various(a) in that 61% were African Americans and 66% were men.The majority had calibrated from senior high school school, were idle and had never married. Alcohol dependence was the most common co-occurring psychiatric disorder with a prevalence of 63%. The subjects were interviewed upon admission into the study and then re-interviewed at follow-up 12 months later to set apart their drug abuse status. The results of the study showed that several psychiatric disorders predicted worse outcomes at the follow-up. For instance, subjects with major depressive disorder showed using a big number of substances and having more drug depen dence diagnoses and symptoms.Subjects with alcohol dependence showed more dependent diagnoses. Outcomes predicted better abstinence results for women then for men. Critique of study #3 This is a thorough study conducted over a sanely long period of time (12 months at follow-up) that gnarly a large universe of discourse sample (401 subjects) and was diverse in the facilities involved and demographically. It shows significant outcomes consistent with other research that focused on similar topics. Overall, the study is well designed and its outcomes have a high probability of being accurate.Conclusion In conclusion, I would like to say that all tierce research studies focused on drug abuse treatment outcomes for patients who have co-occurring mental disorder. The first two were done by the same researcher and systematically did not have a varied population sample (the majority of patients were male and white in study #1 and study #2) and were done over a period of time that was n ot long plentiful in the duration to accept the findings as truly valid, although, the results of these two studies were consistent with the results of similar studies.The last research study, however, employed a large decent and diverse enough population sample as well as long enough duration to validate the results that were achieved. Overall, study #3 was designed beaver out of the three and the validity of its findings can be accepted as accurate with a good amount of confidence. whole kit Cited Charney, Dora, MD; Palacios-Biox, Jorge, MD, et al (2005).

The first two research studies were conducted at different times but by the same researcher, Drar Charney, MD, and concentrate on outcomes of addiction treatment in patients with co-occurring disorders of anxiety and depression, or both at the same time. The last article by Wilson Compton, MD, focuses on drug dependence treatment outcomes in patient with a variety of mental llnesses. All three studies show similar results in predicting outcomes. Study #1 Abstract The first study that I selected, â€Å"Association Between Concurrent Depression And Anxiety And Six Month Outcome Of Addiction Treatment” conducted by Dara Charney, MD, et al, focuses the common problem of depressive or anxiety symptoms appearing together with drug abuse. The study was conducted for 6 months, used a sample of 326 patie nts that were assessed through semi structured interviews, ASI, BDI, and Symptom Checklist 90 and then reassessed after 6 months.The objectives of the study were to assess rates of depression and anxiety in patients seeking addiction treatment and examine how the existence of concurrent psychiatric symptoms will influence treatment outcomes. The sample included 326 patients which was mixed population of adults with substance abuse disorder, who were predominantly white (93%) and male (64%) with a mean age of 41 years old. The sample included patients who were recruited upon entering treatment at the MUHC addictions unit.All patients were eligible for study †there were no exclusion criteria. 63% of patients had significant psychiatric symptoms at intake: 15% had depressive symptoms, 16% had anxiety symptoms and 32% presented with combined depressive and anxiety symptoms. During the six-month follow-up study, participants were offered standard treatment: outpatient detoxification , one or two 90-minute group therapy sessions per week, at least four 50-minute individual therapy sessions and random urine drug screens throughout treatment.Follow up included even those participants who dropped out of the treatment (154 patients dropped out of treatment before 6 months mark) and all participants were asked about the outcome of treatment (abstinence status and duration of continuous abstinence), psychological distress and depressive symptoms. Results of the study revealed that those patients who were presented with few psychiatric symptoms on intake or presented with either depressive or anxiety symptoms on intake fared better than those who presented with depressive and anxiety symptoms together: 73% were still abstinent at 6 months.Critique of study #1 The study supported studied done earlier on the same subject and came up with similar results: patients with co-occurring depressive, anxiety symptoms and addictions fare worse at the end of the addiction treatmen t than those who do not present with co-occurring symptoms. There are several drawbacks in the means this study employed. The sample was not representative of the community at large, because the majority of the participants were white males.It was not a random sample as well, because patients were recruited at the same facility. Half of the patients dropped out of treatment before the 6 month period, and were still evaluated at the end of the study regarding its objectives, which is not representative of treatment outcomes since they did not receive treatment. However, on the positive side, the study did include a large sample of patients and the outcomes were consistent with the outcomes of the similar studies. Study #2 AbstractThe second study that I selected, â€Å"The impact of depression on the outcome of addictions treatment” conducted also by Dara Charney, MD, Antonios Paraherakis, BSc, et al, focused on prevalence of depression among men and women who entered the outp atient program for substance use disorder treatment. The objectives of the study were to find out whether it was primary depression or substance-induced depression, presentation of specific features of depression and the impact of depression on treatment out comes. The research sample included 75 patients of the MGH addictions unit. 97% of the sample population was Caucasian, 61. 3% were male and 38. % were female, all of mean age of 40. 5 years old. Subjects were consecutively recruited upon entering treatment and no exclusion criteria were applied. At intake 22. 4% of patients exhibited primary depressive disorder, 8. 4% had substance-induced depressions. At 3 months follow up 93. 3% of patients were reinterviewed. Participants who dropped out of the outpatient treatment were also invited to participate in the interview (35% of the sample). The study concluded that patients, who in the beginning of the study presented with primary depressive disorder, had longitudinal duration of abstinence and greater decreases in symptomatology.Patients with substance-induced depression almost completely stopped using their primary substance. Critique of study #2 One of the drawbacks of this study is a small sample size: only 75 patients participated. Sample population was not diverse either: the majority of participants were white males. The duration of the study makes the validity of the outcomes questionable, based on the recurring nature of depressive disorder. However, the results were consistent with the results of similar studies. Study #3 AbstractThe third study I selected, â€Å"The role of psychiatric disorders in predicting drug dependence treatment outcomes” conducted by Wilson Compton, MD, et al, examined what role co morbid psychiatric disorders played in the outcomes of treatment of drug-dependent subjects. The researchers used a sample of 401 subjects from a variety of facilities in the St. Louis area: public outpatient methadone clinics, two drug-f ree outpatient programs, two drug-free inpatient programs, an outpatient program for drug-abusing prostitutes, and a residential recovery shelter for women. The sample was diverse in that 61% were African Americans and 66% were men.The majority had graduated from high school, were unemployed and had never married. Alcohol dependence was the most common co-occurring psychiatric disorder with a prevalence of 63%. The subjects were interviewed upon admission into the study and then re-interviewed at follow-up 12 months later to determine their drug abuse status. The results of the study showed that several psychiatric disorders predicted worse outcomes at the follow-up. For instance, subjects with major depressive disorder showed using a larger number of substances and having more drug dependence diagnoses and symptoms.Subjects with alcohol dependence showed more dependent diagnoses. Outcomes predicted better abstinence results for women then for men. Critique of study #3 This is a tho rough study conducted over a fairly long period of time (12 months at follow-up) that involved a large population sample (401 subjects) and was diverse in the facilities involved and demographically. It shows solid outcomes consistent with other research that focused on similar topics. Overall, the study is well designed and its outcomes have a high probability of being accurate.Conclusion In conclusion, I would like to say that all three research studies focused on drug abuse treatment outcomes for patients who have co-occurring mental disorder. The first two were done by the same researcher and consistently did not have a varied population sample (the majority of patients were male and white in study #1 and study #2) and were done over a period of time that was not long enough in the duration to accept the findings as truly valid, although, the results of these two studies were consistent with the results of similar studies.The last research study, however, employed a large enough and diverse enough population sample as well as long enough duration to validate the results that were achieved.
