“Bullying” refers to a deliberate, aggressive act committed by one or more people repeatedly over a period of time against another individual (Olweus, 1999). Common types of bullying include physical, verbal, and indirect or irrational (Jimerson, Swearer & Espelage, 2010). The objective of this essay is to review the research studies of two journal articles on bullying namely, Yang & Salmivalli (2013) and Bowers, Smith & Binney (1994). For this purpose, I will summarize, compare and contrast,…

Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), causes ongoing inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity. The disorder can be chronic and interferes with functioning and development. The percentage of children diagnosed with ADHD is rising every year. Males are more than two times more likely to have been diagnosed than females. The cause is unknown, but it is believed to involve interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Inattention and hyperactivity are key behaviors of the…

3.1.1 ERG One of the first reports of using ERG tracing was in 1988, where the oscillatory potentials (low amplitude, high frequency wavelets present on the ascending part of the b-wave, were looked at as a marker for dopaminergic disease. No difference was found in schizophrenic patients (N=12) versus the control group (N=9). The next ERG study was in 1992. While they did not find a significant difference in ERG tracing between their schizophrenia patients (N=9) versus their control group…

Jones and Holmgren (2007) presented a biomarker-adaptive parallel two-stage design to evaluate a treatment that it is thought to have different response in different subgroups defined by a prespecified biomarker positive versus negative. The idea is to run two parallel two-stage designs, one in each of the groups (biomarker-positive and biomarker-negative), and then to run an adaptive parallel design. Thus, the design begins with two parallel studies, one conducted in $N_{1}^{-}$…

Processing Route. Message tailoring utilizes previously identified information (such as a person’s name or date of birth) to appeal to a specific individual. Message targeting is intended to reach a population subgroup by appealing to characteristics typically shared by members of that subgroup (Krueter & Wray, 2003). Although targeted messages are applicable to fewer people (in contrast to a tailored message, to which the message recipient’s personal information could easily be added), research…

The US government’s oppression of Native Americans is reflective of the relationship between many dominant groups and subgroups in society, and the human rights implications that these relationships have were worthy of mention in Peterson and Parisi’s critique of human…

an issue of interest the public had a lot of input making it difficult to note all their feedback. In this case during the charrette a note taker was assigned who would take notes based on public feedback. Another challenge was coordination among subgroups within the entire tutorial. Even though Facebook was used to keep the group update its use was not consistent. As a result there would be changes that was not communicated to everyone making it difficult to plan in advance. For example if the…

effects that strong ties bring about. She states, “They are only illustrative of what one university president saw as ‘a great deal of ‘orbital energy’ among the many subgroups, a magnetism that tugs at these groups, pulling them away from any common agenda’”(Nathan 318). Greek life is merely an illustration of how strong-tie subgroups isolate students and cut them off from other groups. The phrase “common agenda” refers to “the mainstream life of the university”(Nathan 318), and the word…

The issue was whether the company abused the Equal Pay Act by paying the female worker at a lower rate of pay while she was performing generously rise to work inside a similar foundation. The interests court turned around the lower court's concede of outline judgment to the company and remanded the case. The offended party had built up an at first sight instance of pay segregation in view of sex and the company did not give adequate confirmation that the differential was clarified by a factor…

educational system adopted a zero tolerance policy it has setup students to enter the prison pipeline. The school to prison pipeline is an issues that affects many sub groups. The main subgroup that’s affected by the school to prison is the African American population. However, there are more than just this subgroup of students affected, our Latino students are greatly impacted. Research has proven that male students of color meaning black/ brown students have been cited, suspended or kicked…
