Results McGill pain questionnaire Melzack (1975) developed the Mcgill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) in 1975 to assist in evaluating the subjective pain experiences of clients noting that different pain has unique qualities. It made up of 78 pain descriptions divided into three categories, sensory, affective and evaluate (Boyle, Boerresen & Jang, 2015; Melzack, 1975; Melzack, 2005). Malzack (1975) described the three main measures as the pain rating index, which is based on the value assigned to…

Introduction Enzymes are specialized proteins that act as catalysts. Enzymes are a key part of many biological processes because they are capable of lowering the activation energy of a chemical reaction. By lowering the activation energy enzymes are able to speed up reactions allowing for multiple chemical processes to occur at a faster rate in many living organisms. Enzymes work by binding to specific molecules called substrates. The enzyme observed in this experiment was amylase and its…

knowledge in regards to homeopathic therapy. Creating an extended survey with a sizeable pooling base would be ideal. The current results could be skewed as the respondents were medical personnel who may have had a preconceived notion in regards to non-traditional medical treatment means. It would be interesting to discern the general populations’ feelings toward homeopathic therapy, and if those results would isolate different trends in data. The only missing date was a response from a single…

post graduate students have a higher intention of creating a new business in the next 5 years (36.2%), while the intention of undergraduate students is just 18.4% (See Table 1.13) 3.4 FINDING 3: RELIABILITY ANALYSIS Analysing reliability statistics regarding question: Creating a new company or becoming an entrepreneur would mean for you, and considering that Cronbach’s Alpha indicator is the reliability index of the scale, taking into account the 7 variables of the question, the degree…

There is little doubt public education in the United States is under intense scrutiny from the American public in recent years. In Mississippi, years of negative student outcomes have created a great deal of negative publicity for the state’s public schools. It is important for educators, whether at the district level, research level, or policymaking level, to continue to study available data to identify areas of weakness with the realm of education and work collaboratively to remedy those…

The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), created by Beck, Ward, Mendelson, Mock, and Erbaugh (1961) is one of the most widely used self-report instruments for psychiatric populations that assesses depression through the depth or severity of depressive symptoms. The BDI contains 21 items that are rated on a 4-point scale (0-3) which reflect increasing symptom severity and cover areas of depressive symptomology including affective, cognitive, motivational, and physiological symptoms (Bumberry et al.,…

Discussion It can be seen from the experimental data, that the relationship between the difference in initial pressure inside the bottle rocket and the atmosphere, and the vertical height reached by the bottle rocket after 0.1 seconds, is proportional. This is quantitatively demonstrated by the high R2 value of 0.99533 of the graphed relationship, which indicates the likeness of points in a data set to an established trend; where 1 = a perfect relationship. The gradient of 0.0236 in the…

Introduction Prosopagnosia is a cognitive disorder in which facial recognition is impaired, while other aspects of visual processing remains intact (Gruter 2008). This disorder implies that the brain processes visual stimuli differently. Using the Memory Interference Test (MIT) aggregated database, students can formulate hypotheses based on demographics by studying the number of correct responses and mean reaction time by observing pre-calculated students t-test. This particular assessment…

Hey Mom, I know you’re dying to know how my semester is going so I thought I’d share with you some of the assignments I’ve been working on. I just finished my first chemistry lab project involving drugs! Yes, drugs, but not the ones you’re thinking about. We worked with Sulfanilamide, Phenacetin, Acetaminophen, and your favorite, Caffeine. The goal for the experiment was to determine where the drugs may reside according to their properties. We learned that there are parts in the cell that are…
