...Abbott V. Burke Abbott v. Burke are cases about education where the board of education fails to provide adequate education to the urban children. Their claim is that all students should have a right to an equal education regardless of where they are from and how much money they have. There have been a few times that this case has been re opened and wouldn’t surprise me if you hear about it being revisited again. With the recent budget cuts and everything going on in this country it will be only a matter of time before it gets revisited. Abbott v. Burke is a complex case that takes place throughout over two decades. The decisions of the New Jersey Supreme court have led to better and more progressive educational policies and funds in to poor school districts. Initially the case centered on whether or not the poor school districts should be compared to wealthier districts when it comes to considering educational funding, however now it centers on various ways of improving the school systems in the poorer communities. In 1981 on the 5th day of February the education law center, the attorneys for the state of New Jersey’s public school children in the four most needy or poor cities in the state of New Jersey, filed a complaint against several state officials. The complaint was that they were demanding that a thorough and efficient education should be given to those children in these areas as well. Abbott is a model for conducting successful state reform litigation. He conducted...

...diagnosed using different tools to eliminate other diseases with similar characteristics. One of the main tests is to check for the AchR antibody, 80% of MG patients have the anti AChR antibody in attendance (Abbott, 2010). There is also a muscle specific antibody called MuSK this stands for muscle specific tyrosine kinase. Ten percent of MG patients have this antibody present (Abbott, 2010). The other 10% of the MG population have no antibodies circulating associating with this disease (Abbott, 2010). There are a few ways to distinguish MG from any other disease. An interesting point made by Susan Abbott RN, MS, FNP, was that MG is directly associated with thymus gland dysfunction. She stated that 70% of MG patients have hyperplasia of the thymus (Abbott, 2010).Hyperplasia meaning enlargement, and thymus referring to the thymus gland. Even though the thymus gland is associated with MG, the reason this happens and the relationship are still not known (Abbott, 2010). Diagnostic Tools Continued…. Several tests in office can be preformed to help determine if the patient is facing myasthenia gravis. One way is to press on the patients chin and ask them to simply open. If the patient have trouble opening with pressure on their mandible, this may be an indication of MG (Abbott, 2010). This is one simple, non invasive way to test for MG A way in which a patient’s trunk can be assessed is to simply ask them to hold their arm in the air for about 2 minutes. If this task in unable...

...March 3, 2016 Legal and Ethical Considerations in Marketing, Product Safety, and Intellectual Property Legal 500 Professor Carter Introduction In the book Pharmaceutical Ethics, Jon Merrills’ defines ethics as: * Ethics is the systematic study of what is right and good with respect to conduct and character. * The beliefs and behaviors to which members of the profession subscribe. * A critical evaluation of assumptions and arguments. * A discussion about what ought to be done or ought not to be done. Using Merrill’s’ definitions as a rough guide we can evaluate the legal and ethical decisions of PharmaCARE’s use of the diabetic drug AD23 in slowing the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. The drug was reformulated to maximize its effect on Alzheimer’s treatment however, PharmaCARE took actions to avoid the Food and Drug Administration in the reformulated drug for Alzheimer. PharmaCARE setup its own pharmacy company CompCARE to sell the new formulation to the public. CompCARE was able to take advantage of PharmaCARE’s databases, networks, and sales and marketing expertise to create a high demand of the product. Once the high demand was there, CompCARE started to advertise AD23 directly to consumers and marketing the drug directly to hospitals, clinics and physicians. After the success of AD23 CompCARE was sold to WellCO. Two weeks later AD23 was linked to 200 cardiac deaths. Research three to five (3-5) ethical issues relating to marketing...

The specific types of Streptococcus found are: mitis, oris, parasanguis, salivarius. The specific types of Bifidobacterium are: adolescentis, bifidum, breve, breve, and longum. Next, the specific types of Enterococcus are: faecalis and faecium, Lastly, the specific types of Lactobacillus are: plantarum and fermentum. (Leónides) According to Dr. Fernandez Leónides and his collegues, studies have shown that certain bacteria in breast milk benefits infants. For example, Lactobacillus, Staphylococcus, Enterococcus, and Bifidobacterium, can sometimes benefit newborns through breastfeeding. The exposure to these bacteria can protect against diarrhea, respiratory diseases, and even reduce the risk of developing other diseases such as diabetes or obesity. However, in many individual cases however, Dr. Leónides points out that certain bacteria are highly personalized with particular individuals in their microbiome. 2) What is the source of these bacteria, where do they come from? The origin of the bacteria present in breast milk was traditionally believed to be from the breast milk that was the...

...Most ethnic Chinese share a common Confucian legacy with the Japanese and Koreans, but the way the Asian Chinese run their organizations, differs from them. The unique way that the Chinese business system operates is known as ‘overseas Chinese management’ (Petzall, Abbott & Timo 2007). Although both the Japanese and Koreans and the Asian Chinese are collectivist, community is more important to the former, while family ties and ‘guanxi’ are more significant to the latter (Petzall, Abbott & Timo 2007). ‘Guanxi’ is a special relationship between two individuals due to the existence of particularistic ties who are obliged to maintain a long-term relationship with mutual commitment and loyalty (Chen & Chen 2004). Overseas Chinese management is practiced by ethnic Chinese nationals in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and other Asian countries who run their own businesses. According to Petzall, Abbott and Timo (2007), these traditional Chinese family firms are usually small-scaled businesses that employ no more than 200 people. Being small-scaled, there is little need for labour specialization and a high degree of structure and formality within the organization. Thus, there are few rules and standard procedures and low files and records in such small family businesses. Although there is no clear hierarchy of authority, the assumed important positions like owners, executives and managerial roles are held by family members and by others who have that special ‘guanxi’. Decision-making...

...“Sub lethal and Lethal Effects of Pesticides on Commercial Honeybees and Wild Bees” Abstract: It is a well-known fact that the global population of bees is declining. This is a major concern because bees are the primary pollinators of the world’s crops. Commercial honeybees and wild bees both have significant impacts on the fate of the worlds produce. Without bees, produce would be an impossibility to get because there would be very little to none available. The reasons as to why this is happening have not been completely isolated yet, but scientists are testing multiple factors as to why this could be happening. One of the reasons could be pesticide and insecticide application to crops around the world. Pesticide and insecticide application could be a major contributing factor as to why the bee population is declining. This is very unfortunate because agriculture is expanding throughout the developing and the developed world. Between 1961 and 2006 global agriculture of pollinator dependent crops has increased by 16.7% in the developed world and by 9.4% in the developing world (Brittain & Potts, 2011). With commercial agriculture comes pesticide and insecticide application. Global pesticide application is expected to more than double to 10 million metric tons by 2050 (Brittain & Potts, 2011). This could be a major issue if in fact insecticides are a leading cause of global bee population decline. Neurotoxic insecticides may pose more of a direct threat to honeybees...

...assess its concept. It will show who uses it and why. It will give views both for and against to this controversial subject which will be backed up by references to an unprecedented amount of documentation generated by highly skilled sociologists worldwide and provide evidence to the existence of labelling and the effects on its subjects. To fully understand labelling it would be wise to inhale the highly influential and educated studies of Howard Becker, who’s in depth exploration of labelling along with W.I. Thomas’s theory on the “self-fulfilling prophecies was born mainly from studies applied to criminology and deviance but also education. Teachers tend to have their own judgments towards pupils they teach and provide themselves with a benchmark to base an ideal pupil upon, who would be motivated, intelligent and well behaved. The other side would provide deviance in the form of non-disciplined, unmotivated and unlikely to succeed and it is found that these labels would have a significant affect on careers and education. (Taylor, 1995) (Kidd, Abbott and Czerniawski, 2003) The concept of deviance is to label a person’s unparalleled activity with the society and environment in which they are in and give rise to arguments for and against. Within an educational operating system a deviant may be a person or persons who are labelled as disruptive, misbehaved, disaffected or rebellious or even just doing anything considered to be against the social norms. Where arguments exists...

...Mutiple Baseline Across Behaviors The case study I have chosen is Mrs. Davis, which used a multiple baseline across behavior design. Steve has a number of behavior issues that interfere with his and his classmates learning. One of the weaknesses in multiple baseline across behavior design is being able to attaining functional similarity and independence among the target behavior. Especially trying to establish functional similarity before intervention. The problem I see with the design is the uncertainty of the intervention having a carryover effect from the first behavior change to the second and then to the third. Establishing functional similarity and independence among target behaviors may not be easy. There are many variables that can impact internal validity some of those are history, maturation, testing effects, and instrumentation to name a few. The time to be concerned with internal validity is in the design phase when careful consideration needs to be used when which variable will be observed and recorded and this is the time to identify any rival behaviors because after he intervention is ran it is too late. Other behavior issues could surface with Steve and he may transfer his behavior to another setting that would affect external validity. Sometimes when increasing internal validity it may decrease external validity. Uncontrolled variability can be reduced only if you identify its sources. The first step in identifying these uncontrolled variables are...

...usually starts at around the three month stage (Karmiloff Smith 1994) and the response of the adult…can act as a ‘reward’ encouraging thesis early attempts at sound making and interaction” (David Goouch, Powell & Abbott,2003:821) This essay will discuss the acquisition of language in the first two years of a child’s life, looking at different theories and approaches that have been explored over recent years. The essay aims to distinguish if language acquisition is an in built skill which we are all born with or if it is a learned skill which we acquire as we interact with the world around us. Skinner (1957) put forward the argument in favour of the debate that language is developed through nurture- saying that language is a learnt behaviour. Skinner provided that children simply repeat utterances they have heard, this implies that language acquisition is a simple case of rote learning(Ambridge & Lieven,2011:242). He believed that much of what we learn is from the environment around us, he used his theory of operant conditioning to explain how and why we have developed the ability to communicate through spoken words. Operant conditioning, to put it very simply suggests that if a behaviour is rewarded the subject will continue to behave that way. In the case of language acquisition , a child will say a word correctly and be rewarded. For example if a child is able to say the word “banana” they will be given the banana or praised for matching the work to the object i.e...

...Film Analysis: The Corporation University/Institution Name: Student’s Name: Professor’s Name: Course Name: Date Submitted: Film Analysis: The Corporation Introduction The Corporation, an infotainment by moviemakers Jennifer Abbott and Mark Achbar and authored by Joel Bakan, explores the legal standard, basically inquiring: if corporations were people, what manner of people would they be? Making use of psychiatrical main beliefs and FBI forensic technics, and through several case studies, the motion picture ascertains that this “being”, the corporation, which has an ever-increasing power over the daily existence of almost all living creatures on earth, would be a sociopath. The case studies consist of a story concerning how two reporters were sacked from Fox News for declining to downplay a story about the risks of a product of Monsanto given to dairy cattle, and another regarding Bolivian employees who confederated to guard their rights on their own water provision. The commonness of corporate control over our lives is looked into by analyzing efforts to manipulate behavior, together with that of children. The key argument of the infotainment is that, as the corporate legal “body” under current law is regarded to be a person, founded on its characteristics and personality, is a sociopath. Bakan establishes this standpoint on several things but letting the Psychologist tackle the question while the expert deals with psychosis. The major problems of a corporation discussed...

...Challenges faced by Australian organisations and employees due to the pervasiveness of family friendly work policies. An explanation, using real organisations to illustrate the implications, of family friendly work policies for Strategic Human Resource Management and Recruitment Practices. Australian organisations and employees are faced by many different challenges in today’s modern society. Australian organisations have set out family friendly work policies in order to adapt and cope with these challenges. The external environment of an organisation has led to the increased need for the implementation of family friendly policies within the workplace, issues such as an ageing population and skills shortages need to be addressed by specific policies. The growth and demand placed on employees to increase their working hours, means that there is an increased conflict with their family, work and life choices, this has resulted in the work/life balance being dramatically one-sided. The need to implement family friendly policies into the work environment has significant implications for the strategic human resource management teams. There are many internal and external factors which affect the organisations strategy when making decisions in relation to its policies. ANZ, Telstra and Westpac are just three of the major organisations within Australia who have implemented family friendly work policies. These policies have significant implications for recruitment practices within...
