...Allison Harvey, Polina Eidelman, and June Gruber's article "The effect of mood on sleep onset latency and REM sleep in interepisode bipolar disorder." volume 118, published in August of 2009, investigates the contributor to disturbed sleep onset latency and rapid eye movement sleep. The investigation was to conclude whether their alternative hypothesis matched the null hypothesis. Two null hypothesis were conducted: The bipolar group would experience longer sol and increased rem activity while in the happy induction mood, and the bipolar group would experience longer sol and increased rem sleep on the sad induction mood. Results were found, and the possibility is high in that there may be a contribution, however we cannot generalize. The methodology was a case study, that was performed through a two sample statistical t test. The subjects were chosen however interviews were taken place to require eligibality, therefore it can be assumed that it was through random selection and the interviews reduced lurking variables of the subjects (how long they have had bipolar disorder, and if the healthy patients were fully healthy), therefore we...

...An Asian American Woman with Bipolar Disorder Bipolar disorder is a severe mental health illness that causes abnormality of the mood like manic –depressive disorder (Stahl’s, 2013). However, bipolar and depression are different but bipolar gives a better understanding of manic-depressive disorder (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).

...Bipolar Disorder Bipolar disorder is described as a mental disorder marked by alternating periods of elation and depression. An experiment concerning emotional reactivity in bipolar disorder has been conducted with the hypothesis stating that the depressive phase in bipolar patients could modify emotional reactivity in comparison to healthy subjects. The methods used for this experiment include IAPS (International Affective Picture System) and SAM (Self-Assessment Manikin). IAPS is considered to be the most reliable and valid research paradigm to assess emotional responses in experiments concerning emotions. SAM is used for rating emotions and putting them on 1-9 scales. The participants chosen for this experiment were 23 bipolar patients with a major depressive episode without manic symptoms (13 females and 10 males), and 27 healthy control subjects (17 females and 10 males). To begin the experiment, ninety color pictures were selected from IAPS that showed events with three varieties of valance, i.e., 30 pleasant events, 30 neutral events, and 30 unpleasant events. The emotional evaluation of pictures was rated on valance and arousal. The participants were instructed to rate how unpleasant or pleasant the image makes you feel using a 1-9 SAM valance scale, as well as rate how emotionally intense or arousing the image makes you feel using a 1-9 SAM arousal scale. The subjects were placed individually in a dimly lit room, and were seated in front of a 15-inch computer...

...care of himself. Tony’s episodes alternate between each other and go to the extreme every time. These episodes can affect Tony’s life and daily functions extremely. Daily tasks can be extremely hard when going through a depressing time, and most things feel impossible. When in an energetic time, Tony will be able to get daily tasks done, but sometimes not correctly or all the way. Also, when Tony dose things they can be irrational, and unnecessary. Based on the evidence and symptoms I believe Tony has Bipolar-Disorder. Bipolar disorder is in its own category, it’s between depressive disorders and schizophrenia (Wade, C., Tavris, C. (2017)). Bipolar can cause depressive moods and thoughts and can make you very non-energetic. Bipolar can also make you feel things that are opposite to depression, like being energetic, and keeping you busy....

...Introduction Bipolar disorder represents a serious medical condition with a high rate of patients and a high degree of mortality (Kring, Davison, Neale & Johnson, 2005). The DSM-5 recognised three forms of disorder: bipolar 1 disorder, bipolar 2 disorder and cyclothymic disorder (Kring et.al). Manic symptoms are the defining features of each of these disorders, with varying frequencies and intensity (Perlis, Miyahara, Marangell, Wisniewski, Ostacher, DelBello & STEP-BD Investigators, 2004). These disorders are labelled bipolar because the patients experiencing mania will also experience depression during their lifetime. During the manic episodes, patients will act and think in ways which are not their typical selves. In this essay an evaluation...

The job required them to stake at least 7 lengths each day in order to be completed on time. However, the whole team has became very tense and agitated, especially Tom Parker, as the deadline was just around the corner and there’s still many to be finished within the limited time. The problem became worse with the way Tom managed and treated his team. The only motivation to the team was the $300 bonuses promised by the company when the job is done on time, otherwise, they might wished to give up already. This happened because working as a field assistant and in long-working hours only giving them low wages, which is considered unreasonable compared to what they have to do.

Employees are mostly college and high school students e. Lack of respect for managers. f. No incentive to increase motivation. In the case study Perfect Pizzeria, the area supervisor has many problems that need his attention. The largest appears to be the organization. In this case study I will assume that the area supervisor has the authority to affect change within his organization (i.e. he is the franchise owner). Being in an area with few job opportunities should give him the perfect opportunity to recruit bright, ambitious, and motivated people to staff his pizzerias. How can the area supervisor change his organization to achieve a more fluid corporate culture? I think this change can be achieved by human resource changes, structure changes, motivational changes, and reward for good performance as well as accountability for poor performance. Each one of these areas will require a change from the corporate level. For the sake of my case study I am going to assume that the area supervisor (franchise owner) can lobby to achieve this change within the organization. The first area to look...

...letters in industry or for a class, knowing your purpose and audience will help determine what information to include. Generally, business letters follow a particular format, although your instructor or company may require you to use alternative formats. This guide provides writers with an introduction to writing business letters. Case Studies: This guide examines case studies, a form of qualitative descriptive research that is used to look at individuals, a small group of participants, or a group as a whole. Researchers collect data about participants using participant and direct observations, interviews, protocols, tests, examinations of records, and collections of writing samples. Starting with a definition of the case study, the guide moves to a brief history of this research method. Using several well documented case studies, the guide then looks at applications and methods including data collection and analysis. A discussion of ways to handle validity, reliability, and generalizability follows, with special attention to case studies as they are applied to composition studies. Finally, this guide examines the strengths and weaknesses of case studies. Desktop Publishing: Desktop publishing is the process of laying out and designing pages with your desktop computer.

The banking institution offers a summer internship to bright and driven individuals. The internship includes 14 weeks of very intense training and long hours.

Brussels and Bradshaw is operating in more than 25 countries globally; this case study takes place in Toronto. Many behavioral issues in the Brussels and Bradshaw institution are unprofessional and stressful.

Audrey is excited with her internship and very eager to learn. She is assigned a mentor and buddy by the business development manager, Kelly Richards. Kelly has 10 years of experience. Although associates consider her human resources, Kelly’s job is strictly administrative. Audrey is never introduced to her mentor and her buddy, Christine Page is very...
