...Risk Factors of Behavior Risk Factors of Behavior ECE 201 Debra Lawrence Dec.03, 2012 Children should be heard not only seen. Parents as well as teachers always look to see what a child is doing. Do they ever stop to listen and ask questions? It’s always good to ask a child questions like; “How was your day? Did everything go fine at school today? Is everything going good at home and questions like that.” If you get the discipline thing right, it is so much easier being a parent-and being a child. Sometimes we wish there was a way to avoid the stress and frustration that can occur when parents and children have conflicting ideas about rules and regulations. Why are some children more challenging than others? Challenging behavior is any behavior that interferes with children’s learning, development, and success at play, is harmful to the child, other children, or adults and puts a child at high risk for later social problems or school failure (education.com). A child with An emotional and mental illness needs to be handled with kid gloves. Children with these illnesses can become irate, out of control, physical, sad, drop in grades and withdrawn. Mental Illness can cause a child to act out because they feel that they don’t belong. Some kids are more challenging because of their life at home and at school. That’s when asking your child how was their day comes in play. “Children with behavior problems often find themselves rejected...

...2.1 Introduction This chapter will discuss on ergonomic risk factors for working at height that were found in previous studies. According to Min (2012), working at height is a place that a person could be injured when falling from it, even if it is at or below of ground level. Working at high level, means there are risks due to height from which a person may fall to the ground. In determining the distance that a person may fall, no obstruction that may delay or stop the fall unless there is no possibility of the fall continuing after the obstruction is reached. The consequences of not applying ergonomics or wrongly applying ergonomics may increase risks of ill-health and injury, dissatisfaction and discomfort to the workers. Besides that, many...

...Risk Factors of Behavior Ausha Johnson ECE 201: Intro to Early Childhood Behavior Management Instructor: Carmen Balgobin October 13, 2013 Risk Factors of Behavior Intro When the question is asked, “Why are some children more challenging than others”, many assumptions can come to mind such as: different age range, difference in the raising/parenting, and I have even heard people say that some children are just “bad”. People make these assumptions and don’t even know the true history of the child and what the child has been through or currently going through; I have been one of these people myself. It’s important to know that something seriously could be wrong with our children rather in development issues or home based issues. In this paper I will be discussing different risk factors and how they can influence a child’s behavior; I will also enlighten you on how you as well as other teachers, and parents can help change these behaviors. Risk Factors Educators and parents must be able to identify risk factors in order to be able to successfully understand and help a child in need. There are many factors that should be known about such as: Poverty, Violence, and problem with brain function (Development). * Poverty- Child poverty is a multidimensional phenomenon and can be measured in many ways. It is imperative that governments make a commitment to child poverty reduction, recognizing and responding to child poverty is the first priority, alongside building expertise...

...Bank Risks and Risk Factors Abstract The Federal Reserve System has established a banking risk framework that consists of six risk factors: credit, market, operational, liquidity, legal and reputational risks. During examinations, institutions' risk management structures are reviewed using these risk categories. The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago (Seventh District) supervision group follows current and emerging risk trends on an on-going basis. This Risk Perspectives newsletter is designed to highlight a few current risk topics and some potential risk topics on the horizon for the Seventh District and its supervised financial institutions. The newsletter is not intended as an exhaustive list of the current or potential risk topics and should not be relied upon as such. We encourage each of our supervised financial institutions to remain informed about current and potential risks to its institution. Credit Risk The marketplace for C&I loans is highly competitive. Soft loan demand, the low interest rate environment, and strong market liquidity from banks and investors flush with cash has heightened the level of competition for C&I lending and will continue to make loan growth for our institutions very challenging into 2013. Anecdotally, financial institutions have responded to these dynamics in a number of ways, including: • Granting pricing and structural concessions in order to maintain or potentially grow market share • Increasing leverage tolerance ...

...Risk-factors for Arson Thankfully, over the past year the rates of arson in the US have dropped around 3%, according to the FBI preliminary semiannual crime statistics. While a decrease in crime is almost always a good thing, understanding what risk factors are associated with the crime, and knowing what can be done to further prevent the crime from occurring in the first place, are integral parts of further deterring a specific crime. However, when people think of arson, they rarely know what factors lead a person to commit it. There isn’t nearly as clear a picture of an arsonist as one may have of a thief or hackers. While there may not be as clear an image of what an arsonist looks like, there are multiple studies done to show what may...

...Clinical Assignment: Cardiovascular Risk Factors Introduction The American Heart Association has identified several risk factors that greater your chance of developing coronary heart disease and heart attack. Major risk factors are those that research has shown significantly increase the risk of heart and blood vessel (cardiovascular) disease. Risk factors are divided up into modifiable and non-modifiable as outlined below. Patient Profile My patient on 03/31/2011 was M.M., who is a 55 year old Caucasian male who presented to UMC on 03/26/2011 with a chief complaint of shortness of breath, light headed, and pain in the left ankle. I choose M.M. as he had an admitting diagnosis of COPD exacerbation, syncope, and a medical history for being hospitalized with congestive heart failure (CHF), obstructive sleep apnea and COPD, and is currently a smoker. Risk Factors Age: According to the American Heart Association (AHA), over 82% of people who die of coronary heart disease are 65 or older. Age is the most important risk factor for developing CAD in women. When compared with men, women are, on average, 10 years older when they have CAD. (Ignatavicius & Workman, 2010). At older ages, women who have heart attacks are more likely than men are to die from them within a few weeks. M.M. is 55 years old, so this risk factor does not directly apply to him right now. Sex: According to the AHA, men have a greater risk of heart attack than women do, and...

...Cardiovascular Risk Factors “In almost every year since 1900, cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been the number-one cause of death in the United States. Nearly 2500 Americans die of CVD each day, an average of one death every 25 seconds. The disease kills more people than the next four causes of death combined, including cancer, chronic lower respiratory diseases, accidents, and diabetes” (Ignatavicius & Workman, 2010, p. 704). In order to manage the disease effectively, it is of major importance to identify risk factors. The purpose of this paper is to discuss several cardiovascular risk factors and how they contribute to the pathophysiology of CVD. Patient Profile Mrs. G.Y. is a 71-years old Hawaiian female of Chinese descent, admitted to the hospital for chest pain. Upon admission to the hospital, she was complaining of generalized weakness, chest pain, and dyspnea with any physical activity. Her health history includes: hypertension, cardiovascular disease, hyperlipidemia, aortic stenosis and osteoporosis. Past surgical procedures include tubal ligation. She is on a cardiac diet, is allergic to aspirin, never smoked, and never used illegal drugs. Cardiovascular Risk Factors By taking a quick glance at her medical record, she is at risk for cardiovascular disease, due to the fact that she is a postmenopausal female, over 65, has hypertension, she lives a sedentary life, and she has aortic stenosis. Other cardiovascular risk factors include cigarette smoking and obesity...

...Two risk factors that are immediate and most prevalent in my community (college-aged hispanic/latino youth) are substance abuse (drugs and alcohol) and suicide due to mental illness or other causes. These factors can be prioritized by under-aged drinking, minors in possession and adults purchasing alcohol for a minor. Suicide prevalence and suicide ideation for Hispanic/Latino students is higher in the U.S than those of non-Hispanic descent (Cash & Bridge,2009). The “criteria” could fall under overwhelming stress from a broken home/parental issues, overdose with intention to commit, financial struggle or identity crisis, fear of being “outed” as a queer individual among other contributing factors. Another risk factor that coincides with the...

...completely. Unfortunately, no matter what we each do, no one can completely eliminate their risk for cancer of one type or another. Cancer is a fact of life. However, although zero risk is not a reality, there are many things that most of us can do to minimize our risk for developing many types of cancer. All it takes is thinking about it and deciding to take control of your fate, making important changes which can positively impact your health and your risk for diseases. Some of the choices we make can help reduce our risk of getting cancer in the first place, while others help to ensure that, if we do get cancer, that the cancer...

...Addressing Behavioral Risk Factors Damilola Ogunyanwo Walden University NURS-6050N-12, Week5 DB5, Policy & Advocacy for Population Health Dr. Ralyea, C December 19, 2015 Obesity by definition is an excess in body fat, while overweight is an excess in body weight from bones, muscles, fat and water. A tool called Body Mass Index (BMI) is used to calculate obesity and overweight in adults and children. Adult ages 20 and above who have a BMI of 18.5-24 is considered normal, while a BMI of 25-29.9 is overweight, BMI of 30 is obesity, and a BMI of over 40 is morbid obesity (National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease) A child is obese/overweight if their BMI is at the 85th percentile, and above the 95th percentile is obese. It is difficult to tell if a child is obese or overweight because they grow at different rates. Unlike the adult, a child’s height and weight is compared to other children of the same age and same sex. According to the state of Obesity, Maryland ranked the 26th most obese/overweight state in the nation. The current obesity rate is 29.6%, which is up from 19% in 2000 and from 10.9% in 1990. (State of Obesity). Obesity/overweight is caused by an imbalance of energy because body weight remains the unchanged when the amount of calories consumed is equal to the number of calories used up by the body, genetic disposition, socio-economic and behavior determinants. Obesity/Overweight predisposes an individual to type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease...

...PROSTATE CANCER Risk factors * Older age. The risk of prostate cancer increases with age. Prostate cancer is most common in men older than 65. * Being black. Black men have a greater risk of prostate cancer than do men of other races. In black men, prostate cancer is also more likely to be aggressive or advanced. It's not clear why this is. * Family history of prostate cancer. If men in your family have had prostate cancer, your risk may be increased. * Obesity. Obese men diagnosed with prostate cancer may be more likely to have advanced disease that's more difficult to treat. Prevention * Choose a healthy diet full of fruits and vegetables. Avoid high-fat foods and instead focus on choosing a variety of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Fruits and vegetables contain many vitamins and nutrients that can contribute to your health. One nutrient that is consistently linked to prostate cancer prevention is lycopene, which can be found in raw or cooked tomatoes. Whether you can prevent prostate cancer through diet has yet to be conclusively proved. But eating a healthy diet with a variety of fruits and vegetables can improve your overall health. * Choose healthy foods over supplements. No studies have shown that supplements play a role in reducing your risk of prostate cancer risk. While there has been some interest in vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin E and selenium, to lower prostate cancer risk, studies haven't found a benefit to taking supplements...
