...Thesis: Research suggests that co-sleeping benefits infants because it decreases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome, increases the amount of time breastfeeding, and helps stabilize the child’s physiology. Annotated Bibliography: Source #1 Goldberg, W. A., & Keller, M. A. (2007). Co-sleeping during infancy and early childhood: key findings and future directions. Infant & Child Development, 16(4), 457-469. doi:10.1002/icd.522 This article describes the benefits of co-sleeping by pointing out that night waking’s declined in frequency and duration. It also points out that most children who co-sleep do not need a security object to go to sleep. Another point this article discusses is the benefits co-sleeping have on breastfeeding ease. The article also defines the many terms used when discussing co-sleeping and bed sharing. Wendy A. Goldberg is a professor of psychology and social behavior at the University of Michigan. This article will be helpful in my research because it discusses how co-sleeping benefits and increases the length of breastfeeding. Source #2 McKenna, J. J., & Volpe, L. E. (2007).

...Research Proposal: People views about the Psychological role of sleep in our lives Date: August 26, 2013 Subject: Proposal to do a research paper/project on the people views about the psychological role of sleep in our lives. INTRODUCTION Sleep has been the subject of speculation and thought since the time of the early Greek philosophers, but recently scientists have discovered ways to study sleep in a systematic and objective way. With the advent of new technology, scientists are now being able to measure electrical patterns and activity produce by the sleeping brain. Sleeping time is controlled by circadian clock (a biochemical mechanism that oscillates with a period of 24 hours and is coordinated within day-night cycle) and in humans to some extent by willed behavior. Sleep helps the brain commit new information to memory through a process called memory consolidation. Psychological role of sleep has a great impact on our lives. In today’s society, a lack of sleep and high energy are accepted as the “norm”. It seems that people have lost sight of the importance of sleep on our mental and physical health. Many research studies have been conducted and have found that there are many benefits to sleeping regularly and well. It is not quantity that matters so much as quality of sleep. Research has also been done to study the future of sleep and how that may affect people psychologically. The field of sleep psychology is advancing, and will surely change...

...Inferential Stats and Interpretation PhoenixDrone QNT/561 June 15, 2015 Inferential Statistics and Findings The team individually did an excellent job in interpreting the findings from their prospective. What would have been helpful is if we had used the same data sets to reach our conclusion. The team collaboration was completed after some of the individual papers had been completed and therefore the needed data was not used. The team agreed that null hypothesis would be the best approach to reaching a conclusion to answer the RQ. (a) RQ: Is there a relationship between employee satisfaction (IV) and selected shifts and/or patient wait times (DV)? b) Survey: eight questions were asked in the survey, from a population of 500, 386 answered the survey questions (n=386). The first three questions of preferred shifts to work, the majority was satisfied with the shifts they worked. The majority of employees did not admit to sometimes sleeping at work, overwhelmingly they strongly disagreed. The next question indicated there is a strong negative correlation with job satisfaction and appropriate staffing for adequate patient management as well as feeling appreciated at work. The Hypothesis Statement: H0} There is no correlation between employee satisfaction (IV) and selected shifts and/or patient wait times (DV)? H1} There is correlation between employee satisfaction (IV) and selected...

...Thomas. SOURCE/FULL REFERENCEZineldin, Mosad (2004) Co-opetition: the organisation of the future, Marketing Intelligence and Planning, Vol22, No7, pp.780-789 | DESCRIPTIONCo-opetition. The hybrid behaviour of competition and cooperation or Sleeping with the enemy? | ANALYSIS (CONCEPTS, EXAMPLES, STATUS OF SOURCE, CRITIQUE etc)Dr Mosad Zineldin is a Professor of Strategic Marketing and a Master in Psychology. He has wrote and published several books and articles in many different international journals, notably his book on TRM, the first in the world to outline the framework of relationship management.However, his article “Co-opetition: the organisation of the future” (marketing, intelligence & planning, Vol 22 No7, 2004 pp.780-789) suggests that this is a new concept of cooperation between companies or has Zineldin linked this to support his work on TRM? Co-opetition is qualified for the first time by Nalebuff and Brandenburger (1996) which surprisingly Zineldin fails to recognize in the article! But even these esteemed authors cannot take credit for the concept of Co-opetition; this accolade is accredited to Mr Ray Noorda, who in 1983 brought together hardware and software companies to work together in a networked environment, a “culture fit” which supports Bengtsson and Kock (2000). “co-opetition thus implies that organisations can interact in rivalry due to conflicting interests, and at the same time co-operate due to common interests” This concept questions...

...rehearsal by the client of progressively more difficult approach responses, and independent responses client performance of those (Bandura, 1976), This treatment package (also termed “contact desensitization” (Ritter, 1%8) has been used to attenuate fear responses to Bandura, targets such as snakes (e.g., Blanchard and Ritter, 1969; Blanchard, 1970; Ritter, 1968; Thase and Moss, 1976), heights (e.g., Ritter, 1969), water (e.g., Lewis, 1972*), rats (e.g., Lick and Bootzin, 1970), and dogs (MacDonald, 1975; Richards and Siegel, 1978). Comparative research would indicate that participant modeling is superior to other techniques commonly employed to promote fear reduction (Bandura, 1976), but Leitenberg (1976) notes a limitation to that research, namely its near exclusive focus on non clinical populations and targets. There are few reports on the use of participant modeling with chronic, debilitating fears (e.g., MacDonald, 1975). This paper describes the extension and refinement of participant modeling techniques as applied to a long-standing significant fear reaction. and clinically CASE HISTORY The client-j-, a 48-yr-old...

...alcohol levels are typically 30 to 40 per cent higher. The higher blood alcohol concentration results from an age-related decrease in the amount of body water in which to dilute the alcohol. Therefore, although they can metabolize and eliminate alcohol as efficiently as younger persons, the elderly are at increased risk for intoxication and adverse effects. * One reason for this is that older bodies tend to have less alcohol dehydrogenase available. This is the enzyme in the stomach that starts to break down alcohol before it reaches the bloodstream. * Women in general have less body water than men. * A higher blood alcohol level is associated with a higher risk of intoxication, cognitive difficulties and problems with balance and co-ordination. * Older adults’ sensitivity to alcohol may also be heightened by medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension or dementia or by medications. Signs of alcohol problems in older adults * Focusing on how much alcohol an older person is consuming is not overly helpful in determining if a problem exists. What’s most important is how alcohol use affects the person’s life. * The stigma experienced by people with alcohol problems is particularly severe in older adults, which may make some older patients reluctant to disclose how much alcohol they use and how it affects their lives. For this reason, it is important to be aware of the many red flags that indicate alcohol may be a...

...Visit and Issue Report ‘The use of Artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) to prevent malaria transmission’ Problem Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites that are transmitted to people through the bites of infected mosquitoes. In 2010, malaria caused an estimated 655,000 deaths (with an uncertainty range of 537,000 to 907,000), mostly among African children. Increased malaria prevention and control measures are dramatically reducing the malaria burden in many places but it is still a massive problem. According to the World malaria report 2011, there were about 216 million cases of malaria (with an uncertainty range of 149 million to 274 million) and an estimated 655,000 deaths in 2010 (with an uncertainty range of 537,000 to 907,000). Malaria mortality rates have fallen by more than 25% globally since 2000 and by 33% in the WHO (World Health Organisation) African Region. Most deaths occur among children living in Africa where a child dies every minute from malaria. Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites. The parasites are spread to people through the bites of infected Anopheles mosquitoes, called "malaria vectors", which bite mainly between dusk and dawn. There are four parasite species that cause malaria in humans: * Plasmodium falciparum * Plasmodium vivax * Plasmodium malariae * Plasmodium ovale. Approximately half of the world's population is at risk of malaria. Most malaria cases and deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa...

...disorder is a wide and complex disorder than many Americans suffer from. This paper will review the research and material of major depression disorder and the effective treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy. Although there are several types of therapy available to treat depression and other mood disorders, CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) has been one of the most widely used and thought to be very effective in treating the disorder. First the paper will review what the disorder is and the criteria needed to diagnosis one with major depressive disorder and then we will take a look at how CBT helps the client overcome the signs and symptoms of the disorder. Lastly the paper will follow up with why CBT is thought to effective with treating major depressive disorder. Major Depressive Disorder and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Many clients’ that are seen in today’s clinics suffer from major depressive disorder (MDD) which is one of the most common disorders. “Major depressive disorder has a life time prevalence of 15.8 % (Mor and Haran, 2009). Many times MDD is characterized by early onset with development occurring throughout the life span. MDD is a disorder characterized by extreme depressed mood that lasts at least 2 weeks and includes cognitive symptoms such as feelings of hopelessness, worthlessness, and indecisiveness; it also includes disturbed physical functions such as altered sleeping patterns, loss of energy, and loss of appetite.

...Eric Moreno Business Civic Liability Research Paper MGMT 518 12/4/2012 Businesses today have to take a multitude of factors into consideration to try and stay on the positive end of the profit margin. One important factor that many businesses often overlook is the “ticking time bomb” that they may have already hired. Businesses need to realize the risk that they may be held civilly liable for some of the criminal acts of their employees. This is no black and white issue either; with the constantly changing and evolving legal system we have here in this country, any one act done by an employee can also be used to sue the employer. Why do businesses need to worry about this? Well, most plaintiffs will go after the deeper pockets of the employer, and juries may be more inclined to side with the plaintiff rather than one of these “big” companies. Therefore, it is important that business protect themselves from liability. The type of protection depends on the industry. Often, however, doing simple things like conducting a thorough background check, having a code of ethics or conduct can shield companies from liability. Conducting a thorough background check seems to be the most efficient way to protect a company from an employee’s criminal activity—by preventing that employee from working at the company in the first place. Filtering out employees with criminal pasts or problems with prior employers can help minimize the liability of a company from its employees’ actions....

...The right hemisphere deals more with visual activities and plays a role in putting things together. The left hemisphere tends to be the more analytical part; it analyzes information collected by the right. Within my research paper I will be discussing the ability to concentrate and what part of the brain you use to concentrate. Brain Concentration 1. How does the brain allow us to concentrate? Researchers at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience and Centre for the Biology of Memory at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) have discovered a mechanism that the brain uses to filter out distracting thoughts to focus on a single bit of information. Their results are reported in 19 November issue of Nature. ScienceDaily (Nov. 23, 2009) Colgin and her colleagues measured brain waves in rats, in three different parts of the hippocampus, which is a key memory center in the brain. 2. What are some factors known to affect concentration? Not getting enough rest is the biggest factor affecting concentration; if you aren’t well rested your mind will be confused. Avoid this by making sure you get the right amount of sleep at the right time. Set a regular bed time for yourself and use an evening routine to wind down so you don’t have trouble sleeping. I’ve found that it’s better to get a little less sleep than too much. Second, not making a plans is another factor of not being able to concentrate.. Without a purpose, your mind will be pulled in s different directions...
