Introduction

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is among the most common mental disorders developing at rather early stages of the individual’s life and entailing a wide range of implications for physical and mental health, social interaction, behavior and further life. As findings of some epidemiological studies demonstrate, this disorder is characterized by rather significant prevalence among children of school age – from 3 to 5% (Dryer et al. 79). The effect of ADHD might create numerous difficulties for children in various environmental contexts, from classroom to home setting. However, disruptive nature of this health condition is even more outstanding as ADHD ...

The principal characteristics of ADHD are reflected in the name of this disorder: it is attention deficit and hyperactivity, which are usually accompanied by impulsivity. On the other hand, we know that all children occasionally become too active, perform thoughtless acts and daydream about something. That means that the majority of children without exceptionalities also have the symptoms of ADHD, but their level is tolerable, so they are not considered to be exceptional. The presence of ADHD is determined when hyperactivity, impulsivity, and poor concentration, combined with a tendency to be easily distracted, begin to seriously interfere with the ...

Accounting Standard Setting under the Australian Conceptual Framework and Application in Business Practices

Introduction A conceptual framework establishes the concepts and provides the guidelines that underlie financial reporting. As a coherent system of notions that flow from an objective, which in turn serve to identify the purpose of financial reporting, a conceptual framework also provides guidance on the identification of the boundaries of financial reporting. Its concepts further provide guidance on the selection of transactions, related events, and circumstances to be presented, and how such elements should be summarized and ultimately reported (Financial Accounting Standards Board [FASB], 2008). One such conceptual ...

Dementia is a package of signs and symptoms which include personality change, impaired intellectual functions, and memory loss which come as a result of trauma to the brain or disease (Godbolt et al.

Introduction

A recent report of the International Longevity Center-UK (ILC-UK) indicated that dementia can no longer be viewed as an isolated disorder due to a high prevalence of medical comorbidities, often undiagnosed, associated with it (Scrutton & Brancati, 2016). Patients with dementia also had received a less coordinated comorbidity treatments, resulting to the faster decline of their daily functioning, a reduction in their quality of life (QOL), and earlier mortality events than patients with these comorbidities, but in the absence of dementia. The report also noted other important findings, which exacerbated the need for better therapeutic options in dealing with dementia, ...

The three mental complications that include dementia, delirium, and depression have similar symptoms which make it difficult to determine the exact condition the patient suffers from (Yasin, 2013). As such, it becomes very important to learn the diagnosis procedure. Such practice helps in instilling some sense of accuracy when it comes to differentiating the three conditions (Alonso, Chatterji & He, 2013). This paper seeks to analyze a typical case study whereby the patient has presented her scenario with specific details of the condition as it represents itself symptomatically.

Abstract

The immune and nervous systems are two body structures that have different functions. Moreover, most people may not be able to readily identify the and the relationship between these two. While the immune system is responsible in protecting the body from destructive and invading pathogens, the nervous system is tasked to relay information to the brain. This process allows for the proper coordination of the different functions of the body. In general, the concept of the connection between the nervous and the immune systems stems from the theoretical idea of stress. Stress is denoted both as a physiological and ...

ASC 320 provides the primary guidelines for accounting and reporting of special investments in marketable securities and debts. On the other hand, IFRS 9 guides accountants in recognizing, derecognizing, and measuring of all financial assets and liabilities. The guidelines of IFRS also cover financial assets like trade receivables and payables that are not in security form. The limited scope of ASC 320 is further squeezed to investment securities with determinable fair value. IFRS 9 is quite broad in its recognition because it covers all the transaction costs i.e. incremental cost incurred directly in the acquisition of financial assets. According ...

Introduction

Chronic pain is associated with the pain behaviors that cannot be comprehensively explained from the biomedical perspective. Pain is a psychophysiological unpleasant sensory and perceptual experience provoked by injury or diseases (Talaei, Labbaf, Tabatabayi, & Barekatain, 2015). Chronic pain experience involves the perception of the unpleasant physical stimuli as well as the interpretation of the sensations of pain and evaluation of the experience as one that creates suffering. This means that chronic pain imposes physical, emotional, and sociological stress on individuals. The relationship between the emotional, physical, and sociological factors appears causal rather than simply correlational. In the past years, ...

Abstract

Kurt Lewin, the father of social psychology, developed the change theory of nursing which is a three stage change model that necessitates the rejection and replacement of all prior learning. The stages in the model consist of unfreezing, change and refreezing. The change theory consists of three concepts which include driving and restraining forces and equilibrium. The driving forces ideally push a patient towards a particular direction hence facilitating change. The restraining force, on the other hand, tries to hinder the desired change by pushing the patient away from the driving forces in the opposite direction. The restraining forces' ...

As athletes, physicians, sports professionals, and the general public continue to search for the most effective diet for nutrition and physical development, high protein diets have emerged as a viable alternative for many people. However, there are disagreements about how to define a “high protein diet” (Tipton). Touted for many years, the Atkins Diet initially allows no calories from carbohydrates and moves into a maintenance regimen of only meat and vegetables (Westman, Phinney and Volek). The Paleo Diet has emerged as a similar recommendation of organ meats, fruits, vegetables, and nuts while excluding grains, sugar, dairy, and legumes (Tarantino, ...
