Adverse possession

films and T.V. shows containing demonic possession have grossed millions of dollars. There are multiple reasons as to why exorcism culture has boomed in pop media. Due to multiple streaming services, and looser broadcast standards, there are thousands of more options for people to upload and watch videos that were once unattainable. These streaming services can range from Ghost Hunters, to the darker more sinister side of YouTube. People can relate to possession, because the threat comes from…

applied annually in the United States alone (Hayes et al, 2010). Atrazine is used so frequently because it is cheap and it increases crop yield. However, it has been found that atrazine in levels even as low as 2 ppb (parts per billion) can have adverse effects on the reproductive systems of many vertebrates, which includes humans (Hayes et al, 2010). According to Hayes et al’s research (2010), 10% of male African clawed frogs that were induced with 2.5 ppb of Atrazine became females. These…

Possession is often referred to as attached,and sometimes a good thing. The followers also believe that because once an entity gains entry into a host, more sports will follow, which means that not only can humans become possessed, but so can animals, places…

pointed out in Lindholm’s book, “ Academia isn’t always a place of compassion, respect or integrity. It’s often a place where ego-driven intelligent individuals flight over ridiculousness just to be considered “right”...” (Lindholm, 2014, P108). But time could be a luxury for those who have to face a sudden death. As shown in Lindholm’s study, spiritual well being tends to be positively associated with self-confidence, general assertiveness, and inclinations toward offering praise, and to be…

The book “Understanding Spiritual Warfare: Four Views” provides academic views of four different perspectives and with positive engagements of contributors on the topic of spiritual warfare. This book provides me with a selection of different perspectives based on different contexts and understandings to deal with spiritual warfare. After reading the book I find myself close to the view as outlined in the ground-level deliverance model by Boyd. Wink sees spiritual warfare manifests itself in…

This definition includes “any solid, liquid, gas, odor, hear, sound, vibration, radiation or combination of any of them resulting in directly or indirectly from human activities that causes or may cause an adverse effect”. In this case sand is considered a solid that may cause adverse effects resulting from indirect human activities, as elaborated on below. This is strongly supported in the R. v. Toronto Electric Commissioners case where a contaminant is looked at its capacity to impair. In…

Call bells ringing, heart monitors beeping, patients crying out in pain, and nurses sprinting from room to room. All of these are common sights and sounds in hospitals these days: especially with the increasing numbers of hospitalized patients and a decrease in the amount of nursing staff available. While being down a nurse or two on a unit may not seem like the end of the world to some, it is a huge crisis in hospitals these days. Understaffed nurses are being forced to take on more patients…

Errors regarding medication can be reduced from 13 to 99% in various studies. (CPOE article C) In one study, CPOE with CDS had a substantial diminution in errors in prescribing that were between 17 and 201 for every 100 orders. The potential number of adverse drug events (ADEs) declined by 0.9%. For certain medications for kidney diseases where the dose was too high, there was a 31% diminution in those errors. (CPOE article A) In a study on pediatric patients, CPOE with CDS was thought to be…

During my time in clinicals on a pediatric floor, I have participated in the discharge of patients and their parents. Pain management and comfort were two of the few topics that parents expressed concern about after discharge teaching. While the nurse attempted to address these issues, it felt as though the parents left the hospital without full confidence in how to manage their child’s pain. It became clear that parents needed further, specific discharge education on pain management when their…

What are adverse reactions? When you start a new medication or therapy, you should watch for serious side effects, called adverse reactions. They occur when a patient experiences undesirable and unexpected effects to a health product. Under Health Canada guidelines, “health products” include drugs (prescription and over-the-counter), medical devices, and natural health products, such as herbal supplements or vitamins. Not all reactions to health products are considered adverse reactions. Some…
