Long-Term Effects of Exposure to Mass Trauma and Resettlement amongst Vietnamese Refugees in Australia

The short-to-medium-term adverse effects of exposure to mass trauma and displacement amongst refugee populations have been studied empirically. Findings from epidemiological studies have revealed that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression are two most prevalent mental disorders in these populations. The prevalence of these two disorders amongst refugee populations is higher than that of non-refugee populations (Fazel, Wheeler, & Danesh, 2005). This indicates that exposure to mass violence and trauma significantly contributes to psychological disability. PTSD plays an appreciable role in the development of depression (Kessler, 2000). The two categories of mental illnesses prevalent amongst refugees, PTSD and depression, are ...

Diabetes Mellitus Type 2: A Literature Critique

Discussion
Rationale for the topic
Diabetes is Australia’s fastest growing chronic disease (Diabetes Australia, 2012). It is the sixth leading cause of death in Australia. Up to 60% of cases of type 2 diabetes are preventable. This makes diabetes a topic of utmost public health significance. Implementation of public health measures could reduce the incidence of diabetes, which will not only result in savings for the health budget, but also increase participation and productivity in the workforce and, most importantly, lead to better health outcomes and quality of life for Australians (Diabetes Australia, 2012). This is why ...

Background

The inclusion of learners with special needs is gradually becoming a major concern to various governments (Holt, 2004). With the enactment of the Disability Discrimination act of 1992 and changes in community perceptions towards individuals with disability in Australia, mainstream primary educational institutions have had to prioritize children with disabilities’ inclusion (Forbes, 2007). Holt (2004) gives a social model definition of disability as the disadvantage or restriction of activity resulting from contemporary social organization which takes either little or no account of individuals with physical impairments thereby excluding them from mainstream social activities. Generally, children are considered learning disabled if they ...

Stafford, et al. (2007, Mental Health, para. 1) define ...

If asked to name the “national dish of Britain,” the average person is likely to say, “there is nothing more British than fish and chips,” but he or she might be wrong as it all depends on the criteria used to determine the national dish (Castelow, 2013). If popularity is the yardstick, then fish and chips would miss the mark, since each year in the UK it is outsold by hamburgers, fried chicken, pizza, and Indian and Chinese food (Alexander, 2009). And while this is true, fish and chips still play a vital role in the economic success of ...

Literature Review on Discovery Based Learning and Student Centred Learning with a Focus in Mathematics at a High School Level

Abstract
Mathematics is a logical form of reasoning which involves making of judgments and justifying conclusions. Mathematical behaviour therefore is expressed when we can describe and recognise patterns, manipulate, represent and reflect on ideas while solving problems through the invention of procedures (Battista, 1999). Mathematics, as a subject has never been mentioned as one of the easier subjects – if anything, it is to the contrary as students are more prone to fail mathematics than many other subjects. Many critics have blamed the methods applied in the teaching of mathematics as the reason behind unsatisfactory performance. This essay will look into ...
