Abstract
This paper discusses the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR) criteria for a diagnosis of schizophrenia, and focuses on several psychological tests that are used to discern schizophrenia from other forms of mental illness. The paper discusses how the psychological tests, while not a valid tool for a diagnosis independently, can greatly assist psychologists and psychiatrists in ensuring a complete and accurate diagnosis.
From the Paper
"In addition to exhibiting one or two of the symptoms above, a patient must also show signs of social or occupational dysfunction, occurring after the onset of the symptoms in the first set of criteria. These dysfunctions can include employment issues, difficulties in interpersonal relationships, or poor self-care. The symptoms must have persisted for at least six months, with at least one month of at least two of those symptoms listed in Criteria A. In the remaining months, known as residual periods, the patient may only exhibit only negative symptoms (DSM-IV-TR, 1994)."

Abstract
"The MMPI-2 (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory 2) is widely used as a tool to assess personality. It is used in applications as diverse as assessing symptoms of social and personal maladjustment, discerning whether people are suitable for high-risk public safety positions, and to support decisions regarding classification and treatment in the criminal justice system."
From the Paper
The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory 2 (MMPI-2) is a widely used tool to assess personality (Pearson Assessments). It is used in applications as diverse as assessing symptoms of social and personal maladjustment, discerning whether people are suitable for high-risk public safety positions, and to support decisions regarding classification and treatment in the criminal justice system (Pearson Assessments). Fundamentally, both the MMPI and the MMPI-2 were created to make comprehensive assessments of a range of personality characteristics and psychiatric syndromes exhibited by people with various psychological disorders (Harrington and Mcdermott).

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Those who contract diabetes in childhood are more likely to contract coronary heart disease and peripheral vascular diseases in their adult lives (Baker, 2007). This disease's newfound prevalence has resulted in a name, cardiometabolic syndrome, which is gaining currency in new reports. A more recent study which followed up the results of the Sinha study found that early identification of cardiometabolic risks in children could result in earlier and more aggressive interventions to prevent progression to full-blown diabetes (Velasquez-Mieyer, 2007). Eisenmann et al found a relationship between "fatness and fitness" and insulin sensitivity amongst 7- to 9-year old children (Eisenmann, 2007). The study differentiated between obese and fit subjects, and found that those who were unfit (i.e. did not exercise often or enough) and obese had the worst fasting insulin results, while those who were in the 'normal' group had the best results. In the fat-fit groups, the values were intermediate. The authors concluded that exercise, with and without obesity, reduce chances of developing insulin resistance. A recent study published in JAMA demonstrated the effects of a weight management and exercise program on overweight children (Savoye, 2007). This randomized controlled trial followed 209 overweight children, aged 8 to 16 years of age. 135 participants completed a 6 month study, while 119 (53%) completed a 12-month study. Although the researchers established three arms (control, exercise and diet), they had to discontinue enrollment in the diet arm due to 'a high dropout rate.' The study measured reductions in BMI and concomitant insulin resistance, but the weight loss failure is indicative of the difficulty in changing eating behaviors amongst pre-teens and teens."

Abstract
This paper discusses the collection of technologies that comprise social networking, referred to as Web 2.0. The paper uses a specific method of enquiry to define the impact of social networking from an IT and IS standpoint. The paper also defines how social networking's implications on ethical and professional codes of conduct are impacting organizations today and how this impact will grow even more significant in the future.
Outline:
Assessing the Impact of Web 2.0 and Social Networking on Technological Innovation
Evaluating the Advantages and Disadvantages of Web 2.0 Technologies
From the Paper
"In order to put the impact of Web 2.0 in general and social networking specifically into perspective from a societal standpoint, it must first be seen from the context of how the second generation of services that are available online, specifically designed for ensuring a high degree of collaboration, information sharing, and support for knowledge-based and financially-based transactions. The distinction many researchers make is that the first generation of the Web is by nature passive, often relying on a publish-and-subscribe model. Despite the highly interactive nature of Web 2.0 there are critics, mostly from the ranks of CIOs who by nature are risk averse to new technological developments that have not proven to be effective in aligning with business strategies (Kirsner 2007, et.al).

Abstract
Considerations in working with venture capitalists tend to be legal in nature. The roles that are maintained by companies and by their financial partners are redefined when the ownership of the company is acquired by external financiers. The paper shows that in the example of ChipeX-2, the company needs to identify a future in which their control of the company might not be assured. This paper identifies the visions of ChipeX-2, how the company can approach legal issues in order to maintain control of their company, and where ChipeX-2 can go to receive help in order to make informed business decisions.
From the Paper
"Three former employees of ChipeX, Inc. have developed a prototype for a new microchip to power the next generation of personal computers. They have assurances from venture capitalists that they will receive whatever financing is needed to manufacture the chip, provided they take 51% of the ownership interest. The venture capitalists do not want to interfere in the business operations and have agreed to allow the developers to control the operations, provided certain financial objectives are achieved. They expect to begin manufacturing of the chip within two years. Based on outside evaluations, the chip should be a success. The expectation is that the new venture will go public, or be sold to investors, within five years. Introduction Considerations in working with venture capitalists tend to be legal in nature."

Abstract
This paper discusses the role of the Master of Science Nurse (MSN) in minimizing risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus in Hispanic youth. It discusses the relevant skills of the MSN as an expert, educator, collaborator, leader and researcher. It discusses the risk factors involved with the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus and how the MSN can use her skills to guide Hispanic youth to minimize that risk.
From the Paper
"Being a researcher is a constant challenge Leeman exemplifies in her review. An MSN is able to not only assimilate the vast amount of literature available, but also able to screen out irrelevant ones and "fit" useful ones to her patients' individual needs. However, this may also mean creating or adapting a novel approach to patients' needs. This synthesis of new research can be exemplified by applying successful interventions previously used. An example of this is applying the findings of Cook, Ziemer, El-Kebbi, Galina, Dunbar, Ernst et al (1999) to the issue at hand, where their research emphasizes the effectiveness of a structured diabetes management program centered around an multi-disciplinary, intensive diabetes education, constant follow-through, self-care, early-stage lifestyle changes, clinical targets (HbA1c) and aggressive algorithm implementation on long-term glycemic control in overcoming clinical inertia, where step-up treatments are not implemented in times of need."

The B-2 Stealth Bomber, 2002.
An evaluation of the The B-2 Stealth Bomber program.

Abstract
This paper looks at the B-2 Stealth Bomber program which is funded by Congress and supported by different administrations. The B-2 Bomber is noted for its use of stealth technology, which makes it virtually invisible to radar as a means of detecting its presence. It examines how critics have pointed out a number of flaws in this technology and in the entire program together with a report from the General Accounting Office in 1998 was especially critical and generated a response from the Air Force in an attempt to counter the critics. It shows how an evaluation of the project suggests that while the technology could be useful, it is not yet sufficiently developed to be utilized at the level the Air Force would like and the costs would support.
From the Paper
"The B-2 bomber might be useful in certain situations, but the number that are already in operation could suffice for such operations. The Pentagon originally stated that it needed only 20 B-2s for all purposes, and it has more than that now. The manufacturer claims it can make the bombers less expensively, but this does not mean they are needed (Thompson 41). While high cost might be a consideration in determining whether such a system is needed or not, the primary rationales should be need and effectiveness. In the case of the B-2, not only is it expensive, it is also probably not needed and does not work as advertised in any case. Given that there is no evidence at all that the bombers can be fixed or that they will suddenly become needed, the program should be ended. Even if there were such evidence, the costs might not be justified by the small return that would be achieved."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents an overview of the MMPI-2, the restandardized version of the original MMPI instrument designed to assess adult psychopathology. The paper notes that the test is comprehensive in nature consisting of 567 true-false items which are assessed in terms of 10 basic clinical scales, 7 validity scales, 15 Content Scales, 27 content component scales, 18 supplementary scales, 3 social introversion scales, 28 Harris-Lingoes sub scales and 10 special or setting-specific indices. It provides seven report options. The MMPI-2 is most frequently used for clinical patients with psychiatric symptoms and is applied in a variety of settings including psychiatric and/or medical settings, court room settings, and business settings.
From the Paper
"Strengths of the instrument are strong reliability and face validity and treatment applications. Weaknesses include some psychometric difficulties with the newer scales, the need for supplementary information to support report patterns, heterogeneity of item content within the scales, overlapping items across the different scales, low cultural relevance, the atheoretical nature of its development, and difficulties associated with using computer interpretations."

Abstract
In this article, the writer explains that when an individual suffers from type 2 diabetes he is unable to produce enough insulin, which is needed for the body in order to be able to use sugar effectively, or his cells ignore the insulin that his body is producing. The writer maintains that it must be said that type 2 diabetes may be common enough, but for the patient who has been diagnosed with the disease, it can lead to great stress and trauma. The writer discusses that the stress and trauma can be alleviated to a certain extent through familial support and self care, but all the same, drugs and non-pharmacologic treatment and pharmacotherapy can be used in the treatment as well. The writer concludes that managing diabetes must be learned, and if the patient is trained in taking care of his disease after the requisite changes in diet, lifestyle and medicines, there is no reason why he cannot lead a long, full and happy healthy life.
Outline:
Introduction
Discussion
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Type 2 diabetes can be managed through a variety of different treatments: pharmacological as well as non-pharmacological. However, it may be up to the patient to help himself with self care, so that his disease remains under control, and so that it does not affect his internal organs adversely, over the long run. A physician has the option of using either pharmacological or non-pharmacological treatment choices for his patient. He could prescribe lifestyle changes as well, in conjunction with a strict exercise regimen. Whatever he may decide, it is considered the physician's duty to make sure of offering his patient high quality and cost effective treatment, which would facilitate blood glucose control to optimum levels and also reduce the array of symptoms and complications that are generally associated with type 2- diabetes. Proper management of diabetes would no doubt dramatically reduce the morbidity and the mortality rates that are normally associated with type 2 diabetes."

Abstract
This paper explains the symptoms of the Herpes simplex type 2 virus, as well as how the virus is diagnosed and tested, treatment and expectations for those who suffer from the virus, and current and future studies on Herpes simplex type 2.
From the Paper
"Herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2) cause prevalent, chronic infections that have serious outcomes in some individuals. Neonatal herpes may occur when the infant traverses the cervix during maternal genital herpes. Genital herpes is a major risk factor for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 transmission. Considerable efforts have been made to design and test vaccines for HSV, focusing on genital infection with HSV-2. Several protein subunit vaccines based on HSV-2 envelope glycoproteins have reached advanced-phase clinical trials. These antigens were chosen because they are the targets of neutralizing-antibody responses and because they elicit cellular immunity (Koelle 2003)."
