In his book, ‘Listening to Prozac’, Peter Kramer (1993), a psychiatrist, initiates a debate on the use of SSRIs to bring about transformations in the personality traits of persons with enhanced confidence levels and reduced pessimism, arguing that Prozac enables the users to feel, “better than well”. Most persons, using Prozac, whether for therapeutic use or otherwise, feel that their behavior has been enhanced in positive ways and Prozac has shown highly positive results in patients with depression. The drug, patients revealed, produces the effect of a transitory “cosmetic pharmacology” enabling the user to be more confident and dynamic rather than shy and pessimistic. It is this phenomenon of the drug that Kramer labels, “listening to Prozac”, which resulted from the benefits of the drug to his patients after taking Prozac. Following these positive personality transitions in patients, Kramer affirms his belief that attitudes and personality traits that people are supposed to have been born with are actually “neurotic” in function, and can be altered substantially by the use of personality-enhancing drugs like Prozac. Kramer argues that the drug is actually a means to discover the true characteristic behaviors of persons, making them feel more attractive and optimistic, increasing their chances of success in life. It is this self-transformation effect of the drug that James Mauro expresses his concern for in his article, “And Prozac For All”. The article begins with the title question, “Is Prozac right if you’re not truly sick?” revealing the anxiety and apprehension of the author. Mauro agrees that the drug has become a huge success with the Americans due to the visibly positive character enhancements it produces in the users. The euphoria over the drug, he believes is “premature”, and states that there is a great likelihood that the drug will cause side-effects like the earlier drug Valium which was also highly popular at one time. He states that previously, both “traditional” and “non-traditional” patients would be first put on therapy, but presently, the drug Prozac is prescribed for one and all alike, whether there are serious psychological problems or not, even to the extent of elevating the moods of persons.

Interference colors are colors visible to the naked eye that appear when a thin section of material is placed between two sheets of polarizing film (Gribble, 2012). The phenomenon of interference colors is explained by the slowing down of light when it propagates through a non-opaque solid object. Different substances slow downlight in different ways. The ability of a substance to slow downlight is measured to determine the substance’s index of refraction. However, most solid objects have more than one index of refraction. How light is refracted in a given thin section depends on what material it is as well as the polarization and the direction of light. The property of materials to have a difference in indices of refraction is called birefringence. Interference colors are the visible manifestation of this property. Observing interference colors allows for identifying a given material. The discovery of interference colors is closely associated with studies of the phenomena of birefringence and differences in indices of refraction. One of the most fundamental works in this area of optics belongs to Isaac Newton. However, it was not until the 19th century that the method of identifying minerals through the analysis of colors they display because of polarization of light was introduced in geology. This laid the foundation for optical mineralogy. The pioneer in the study of interference colors was a French geologist Auguste Michel-Lévy (Sørensen, 2013). He is credited with the creation of an interference color chart. Since many minerals display gradual differences in the patterns of birefringence, Michel-Lévy suggested that it was possible to identify a mineral if its interference colors are known. This idea was first proposed in 1888. The development of the studies of interference colors allowed a better understanding of how a mineral can be identified by its birefringence. The equipment that is usually used is a petrographic microscope for the polarized light microscopy. The criteria to be taken into consideration are the distance that light travels within a mineral, the substance’s birefringence, and the direction of light propagation. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the thickness of a thin section and to control the way light is cast onto it. It is also important to make sure that polarizers are parallel. The technological development in optical mineralogy allowed controlling all these factors in a more efficient way (Zou, Namkung, Lin, Ke, & Lindquist, 2011). It is important because the difference in interference colors of some minerals is rather slight, which increases the risk of making a mistake when identifying it, i.e. high precision of measurements is required. The application of interference colors to the identification of minerals is the fundamental aspect of optical mineralogy. Analyzing the colors in which a thin section of a mine
Self-care is an essential aspect of both personal and career goals. To support self-care, I intend to start eating healthy. This will ensure that I am physically fit to undertake my work tasks. I have also been doing light physical exercises as part of my self-care routine. It is important to note that being time conscious has also contributed to my overall wellbeing. Time management ensures that everything is done perfectly without rush and lowers the chances of being stressed. Relaxation and stress reduction activities also contribute to my wellbeing. The mentioned activities will be useful when working in the field as well. Overall, being healthy ensures that the body builds resilience. Due to the nature of animals, especially wounded ones, it is important that I be resilient. There are cases of animals that reacted aggressively due to treatment or interaction with a vet. Body strength and muscle resilience can help lower the chances of getting hurt while in the field. Burnout and compassion fatigue are interrelated. Working as a veterinary technician exposes one to different work stressors. Low income is one significant aspect that would contribute to my burnout. A poor working environment will also largely contribute to my fatigue. It is important to note that any type of stress that can be avoided contributes to overall fatigue at the workplace. In turn, productivity levels might be negatively affected. Interaction with abused, tortured, and even terminally ill pets will have a significant impact on my compassion fatigue. There are owners who mistreat their pets, and this can be very emotional for me. I used to lash out at clients due to negligence, but now I can manage my emotions.
The holistic approach to medicine is based on the assumption that healing should rely on the knowledge about the whole person – that means that not only the organ or the body system suffering from certain dysfunction should be considered while choosing the methods of treatment but the whole body, spirit, and mind should be taken into account. According to holistic medicine the process of achieving and maintaining the optimal health can give excellent results only if the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects are kept in balance (“What Is Holistic Medicine?” par.1). Diabetes is one of the most common diseases among the population of Western countries. The causes of Diabetes Type 2 mostly depend on the diet and physical activity of the person, which means that the disease can be relatively easily prevented. Diabetes Type 1 is currently considered to have no ways of prevention. However, increasing the chances of getting serious complications of this disease mostly depends on the same methods that are used for prevention of Diabetes Type 2. As the second type of diabetes is the most prevalent one (nearly 85-90 %), it can be said that prevention is the key to decreasing the rates of diabetes (“Type 2 Diabetes” par.1). The analysis of the options and limits related to applying the holistic approach to prevention of diabetes reveals that the number of people suffering from this disease can reduce if people are aware of the importance of maintaining body, mind, and spirit balanced and healthy. The use of the holistic approach to prevention of Diabetes means that the person needs to follow the advice aimed at supporting physical, spiritual, and emotional health. Holistic doctors pay special attention to eliminating all factors that can be potentially harmful to human health and take into consideration such aspects as sleeping habits, stress, personal problems, spiritual activities, etc. Physical health is one of the cornerstones of the prevention of diabetes. Therefore, the main options include following the healthy diet, participating in physical activities, maintaining normal body weight, sleeping enough amount of time, etc. Eating a lot of vegetables, fruits, and grains, cutting the consumption fat, avoiding refined sugar and products containing it in large amount (sodas, sweets, cookies, etc.), excluding processed foods, and drinking a lot of water are just a few habits able to make the diet beneficial for the body. Addressing nutritional deficiencies is also an important and useful step, as by remedying them we can significantly increase the effectiveness of functioning of all of the body systems (Ofori and Unachukwu 162). Physical activity is another component of keeping your body healthy. Avoiding spending long hours sitting in front of the laptop or TV without any gymnastics, participating in regular lessons
Abstract of a Doctoral Analysis This study is a review of the Doctor of Health Science program offered at Nova Southeastern University (NSU). The DHSc is a (60-61) program which incorporates a review of the courses undertaken and the virtual nature of the program. Overall, this study will analyze four components of the program to ultimately comprise four elements of the study. Introduction This study is a comprehensive critique on Nova Southeastern University health science doctoral program. Overall, this study will analyze four components of the program to ultimately comprise four elements of the study. The first element will analyze how the author came to use the program for study; the second element will entail the basic critique of the program; the third element will encompass a critique of the three basic courses in the program (including a critique of an elective course), and finally, this analysis will provide a number of suggestions on how the doctoral program can be improved, after comprehensively analyzing its dynamics. Pursuit of the Degree of Doctor of Health Science After the author acquired her bachelors and master’s degrees, there was a strong need to connect with her inner voice of achieving the highest level of success in the discipline of health science. Previous degrees have been useful in achieving high levels of personal and organizational growth, considering they have improved the author’s proficiencies in the respective fields of study covered. Also, comprehensively, the author’s qualifications in bachelors and masters degrees have necessitated personal progression through the ladder of academic success. In turn, this is what has enabled the author to be allowed to pursue a doctoral degree. Additionally, from previous degrees obtained, the author has been able to expand her sphere of influence in the organization, considering that in the past, minimal responsibilities and a small circle of influence was characteristic of the author’s nature of work in the organization. With an increase in qualification and academic achievement, more respect was observed from fellow colleagues and hence the increase in the author’s positional influence. It is however important to note that since the author’s career was clinically focused, the masters qualification obtained during the course of the author’s career, the doctor of health science career development filled in the gaps of the work experience acquired. This happened so successfully, such that the author gained more confidence in carrying out advance duties. Moreover, the author found it much easier to relate with other colleagues (and especially high-ranking executives in the organization). This was a major milestone covered in the author’s career development. This development was also the primary motivator for pursuing a doctora
Importance of statistics in business Statistics is applied in a number of ways in the business sector, thus playing a significant role in business. The fact that statistics majorly entails making crucial decisions makes it quite handy in the planning function of any business (Evans, 2013). For example, when deciding on the marketing strategy of the business, statistics helps in getting the actual data that can be used to advertise the products of a business. This is seen in most marketing phrases that will give actual figures on product efficiency or usage. For instance, a phrase that a specific brand of detergent removes 99% stains will definitely make the product sell. This information on efficiency is obtained through statistical analysis. In addition to this, various types of data obtained from a business can be analysed and interpreted to give a performance review of the business hence being able to plan and predict the future of the business. It can therefore be concluded that statistics is key in the survival and existence of a business. Difference between a population and sample The primary exercise in statistics involves data identification and collection. In data collection two types of data sets are involved, which include population and samples. A population entails all the elements of the data on study while a sample will entail a proportion of the items on study picked from the total population. This is the case because population involves a big number of elements making the study difficult hence the decision to have representatives of th
Introduction Drug abuse and illegal drug trade have become common vices in society. In the USA, the issue of alcohol abuse has been a major societal challenge. This paper focuses on the effects of alcohol among high school students. Alcohol misuse has been a main concern in most schools because of its pernicious effects on the well-being and educational performance of learners. For Instance, in the US, statics reveal that one out of four individuals in the age bracket of twelve to twenty years consume alcohol at least once every month. The situation is worse among high school learners because most of them are within this age cluster and ingest more than five bottles of alcohol in a row at least twice a month. There is strong correlation between alcohol consumption and academic performance among students. For instance, a student who wakes up in a trance after a heavy drinking spree can boycott lessons or fail to accomplish and turn in course work assignments on time. Apart from its direct outcomes on the years of learning or school completion, premature drinking could negatively affect the number and quality of college enrolment and work quality. In examining the outcome of teenage alcohol misuse on quality of students’ academic grades, the author of this article applied a fixed-impact estimation model in assessing the grade point average (GPA) derived from various high schools. The study utilized data from first and second Waves of the National Longitudinal Survey of teenage health. In-home interviews in the first and second waves were carried out when the academic year ended. Information derived from each respondent was linked with GPA data matching with the academic year during which the participant was registered or had just completed when the survey took place. This study is therefore superior to the previously conducted ones because it correlates alcohol misuse with educational performance among teenage learners in high school. The second strength of this survey is the fact that it is based on objective GPA information derived from school transcripts, mitigating the possibility of methodical biases. Finally, the study explored several variables, which could underlie a harmful impact of alcohol misuse on performance. Apart from examining intermediaries associated with exposure to learning (day
Introduction Arguably one of the most epic accomplishments of the 21st century was the invention of the computer and the subsequent creation of the internet. These two entities have virtually transformed the world as far as information processing and communication is concerned. Organizations have extensively employed the use of computer systems as efficient global communications became the defining attribute of successful organizations. However, these advancements have also increased the frequency and sophistication of computer crimes. It is therefore imperative that countermeasures be developed to detect and prevent these attacks. The key to fulfilling these countermeasures is the gathering of information on vulnerabilities and gaining an insight into the strategies employed by attackers. Presenting prospective attackers with honeypots which are the easy target that is in fact traps is one of the tools that is been utilized to enable covert monitoring of intruders. This paper argues that Honeypots and Honeynets are an effective method to identify attackers, system vulnerabilities, and attack strategies, therefore, providing a basis for improved security as well as catching attackers. The paper shall provide a detailed description as to the benefits of this method and its subsequent implementation. The legal issues that surround the use of honeypots and honeynets shall also be addressed so as to determine how one can make use of these tools within the legal framework of our country. Honeypots and Honeynets: a Brief Introduction A honeypot is defined by Lance Spitzner as “a security resource whose value lies in being probed, attacked or compromised”. (Pouget, Dacier & Debar, 2003; Spitzner, 2002). As such, a honeypot is a device that is exposed on a network with the aim of attracting unauthorized traffic. A honeynet on the honeyn is simply a network of honeypots with a firewall attached to it. Once the system is compromised by an intruder attack, data is collected on this unauthorized access so as to enable the studying of the same so as to learn about the latest trends and tools used by intruders as well as help in tracing back the traffic to the intruders computer. Since the value of a honeypot lies in its being “compromised” by an attacker, It makes sense to make it look not only enticing but also authentic to a hacker. A honeynet will therefore consist of standard production systems that may be found within a real organization and generally several computers as with a real intranet. Operating system emulators such as VMware can be utilized to simulate several computer systems in one physical system (Krasser, Grizzard & Owen, 2005). Types of honeypots Honeypots can be categorized into two broad groups: production honeypots and research honeypots. The difference between the two categorizations springs from the role that the honeypot plays in a system. Production honey-phoneypotsed to avert risk to organizational res
