Case Study 2: Bipolar 1 Disorder The Case study of Andrea, an ambitious woman at the epitome of her career, is a good illustration of the detrimental effects of bipolar disorders. Bipolar 1 disorder is a mental illness that is characterized by a cycle of manic episodes and depression. The story is based on a very functional woman working in a non-profit organization which ends up having a psychotic phase. Andrea’s disorder was gradual, where she is insomniac and over-indulgent in her wedding plans. After a period of lack of sleep and feeling fatigued, she opts to seek for professional help. Her doctor diagnoses her with depression and prescribes anti-depressants which she overlooks for a natural approach to treat her depression. Her natural approach seems to work for a while, and her energy levels increases. She is, however, still insomniac and very irritable. Andrea gets a major psychotic episode where she is adamant; she needs to meet the First Lady. Andrea’s family intervention was very vital in ensuring she received help. Unlike the first instance of depression, Andrea was in…
Case Study: What Constitutes the Crime of Stalking? Case Overview This paper centers on the issue of what constitutes the crime of stalking while citing the case of Nathan and Jennifer Clements. Nathan and Jennifer got married in September 1995 after courting for six years. However, in the summer of 1996, Jennifer alleged that Nathan became possessive and controlling. She says that Nathan, knowingly, purchased guns and left them under her pillow to intimidate her. Nathan did not stop there; he also accused her of having an affair and threatened to shoot her dead if he ever caught her. Things took the turn for the worst in December 1996 when Nathan gave her an ultimatum, either quit her job or move out of their apartment – Jennifer opted for the latter. Her action prompted a reaction from Nathan that was characterized by stalking, harassment, and threats. Jennifer testified that Nathan would frequently call her place of employment and leave her messages. Between December 8th, 1996 and January 1997, she testified that he left a total of 26 phone messages. During…
Case Study of Avon Products Inc Avon Products is one of the giant companies in the US dealing in the field of cosmetics and beauty products. The company started its operations in 1866 and was founded by David McConnell as a perfume company. In 1980, the company changed its name to Avon Products Inc. It focused on China as the focal area of optimizing its sales in broader Asia. It is believed that the present woes that Avon is experiencing can be dated back to the decisions taken by the company management’s way back in 1998. The company had considered China as its focal point of operations in the broader Asian market. It had relied on direct sales since China had a high population that would sustain the high labor-intensive approach to sales. However, over time the Chinese market for Avon products declined and posed a challenge to the company to look for alternative markets. The critical facts from the case include: Avon is the world’s largest seller of cosmetics and other beauty products that are also leading in the…
Fundamentals of Machine Learning Chapter Summary The book, “Deep Learning with Python” by François Chollet provides an introduction to the field of deep learning with the use of python language as well as the robust Keras library. Deep learning is presented as a form of artificial intelligence grounded on multiple layered neural networks. The book is organized into two parts with about nine chapters, in Chapters 8 and 9, which are “Generative deep learning” and “Conclusion,” which are one of the fascinating topics. Chollet provides a basic understanding of deep generative learning along with a conclusion to the ideas of machine learning. Chapter 8 focuses on the next generation with the use of LSTM and implementation of the “DeepDream.” Also, performing the transference of the neural style, the variational autoencoders, and a deep understanding of the functionality of the generative adversarial networks. On the idea of how the recurrent neural networks are utilized in the generation of data that is sequential, Chollet (2018) holds that it is not constrained to the artistic generation of content. It has been effectively utilized in…
financial literacy Introduction My parents were never so mindful of how I spent my money given to me for holidays or the weekly upkeep while going to school. I would be given cash, and often, if not in all cases, ends up finishing the whole amount given to me way before the stipulated time. In most cases, the money which I was allocated for the entire week would end up ending on Thursdays and, in some cases, on Wednesday. This was due to my financial illiteracy. This had been a significant cause of the problems which I used to experience in school. I did not have much knowledge considering financial literacy until an incident that taught me much about financial literacy and its importance. One day after school, I went home and found my parents having a little argument about how much money was being spent on one essential household expenditure. According to my father, the typical household bills were almost doubling in just six months while the family size had remained the same. His worry was why the regular…
Re-Energizing The Classroom The coronavirus outbreak is an unprecedented public health crisis that has exposed the worst in colleges and university administrators across the world. The pandemic has got most universities off guard. Many universities and colleges in the US and world at large have closed to respond to the crises leaving many students stranded without options. Students were given very short notice to leave their colleges and universities, and this has left their minds with imminent questions (Zhang, Wu, Zhao, & Zhang, 2020). Higher education institutions have profoundly been affected by the crises as they have been forced to adopt online teaching. The challenge is that most students lack stable households that sustain remote learning, and others are suffering because of different time zones. Some universities are hoping to do better by responding privately to their students’ concerns and tackling their issues for greater importance. Universities have implemented some activities like contacting exams online and setting an approximate grading system for accessibility and fairness. The institutions are giving their students a say over what could lead to their better…
DIABETES AND DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS Diabetic ketoacidosis is a medical emergency that arises when there is insulin deficiency (Chang & Yang, 2016). Often, DKA is a complication of type I diabetes that results in the body breaking fat at a faster rate, hence, accumulation of acids in the blood, which eventually leads to coma or death. According to the Centers for Disease and Control (2017), approximately 100 million US adults have diabetes. In 2015, diabetes was the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, while 25% of the United States’ population have diabetes but are not aware of it. Diabetic ketoacidosis develops when a diabetic patient does not adhere to medications, have infections, have undiagnosed type I diabetes, or if the patient becomes ill. A systematic review by Stolpe on adherence to diabetes medications revealed that there was poor compliance with diabetic therapy among diabetic patients in the US (Stolpe et al. 2016). Also, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2017), the rate of hospitalizations from DKA increased by 54.9% from 2009 to 2014, which…

complexity of healthcare With the growing complexity of healthcare, practice problems are bound to rise. Such a situation will demand enhanced research into clinical issues and consistent changes in practice to alleviate the problem areas. Consequently, a large cadre of nursing practice and research scholars would be necessary. This group of individuals plays an integral role in influencing change. The cadre of scholars impacts practice changes in various ways. Firstly, they utilize their knowledge of population health and clinical medicine to identify areas that require change. It is imperative to note that implementing change without having a conception of the underlying problem is improbable; thus, problem identification is the first step in the change-in-practice process. Secondly, they help to measure and evaluate the effectiveness of changes in practice through evidence-based research like pre- and post-test intervention mechanisms (Saunders & Vehviläinen-Julkunen, 2016). Through this act, the researchers may influence change by acting as a means of quality control. The work of the cadre is critical in translating evidence into practice. According to Trautman et al. (2018), the identification of practice problems…
