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…

Homeopathic Therapy Survey Homeopathic therapy can be an alternative or an adjunct to current medical treatment of both acute and chronic diseases and medical processes. Most patients who try homeopathic therapy subjectively state the methods displayed efficacy (Pomposelli et al., 2016). However, unless providers are specifically trained in homeopathic methods, this genre of healthcare can be overlooked. More knowledge was desired of current medical providers’ thoughts on homeopathic medicine,…

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…

5.What is the purpose and recommended use of the measure? The BDI-II is a self-report questionnaire that measures the severity of depression with 21 items (Bringmann, Lemmens, Huibers, Borsboom & Tuerlinckx, 2015). The highest score that can occur on this measure is 63 (highest severity of depressive symptoms), and the lowest score that can be achieved is 0. The items were designed to identify symptoms of depression as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth…
