Comparison of exposure to trauma and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder in children

Research suggests that children who have experienced trauma are often more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than PTSD (Famularo et al., 1996). It has been suggested that many children who have experienced trauma may actually be misdiagnosed with ADHD, due to the overlap between ADHD and symptoms of trauma (Weinstein et al., 2000). The goal of this clinical exploratory study was to examine the comorbid features and to compare the behavioural and neuropsychological profiles of children with symptomatic trauma and children with ADHD. This goal was accomplished through three objectives: to determine the proportion of children with symptomatic trauma who also meet diagnostic criteria for ADHD; to compare children with symptomatic trauma with children with ADHD who have not experienced trauma on measures of intelligence, academic achievement, attention, memory, and executive functioning; and to compare the severity of the behavioural and emotional symptoms between these groups. Initial results revealed few significant differences on cognitive and behavioural variables between the two groups, which was believed to be associated with a 67% comorbidity of ADHD within the Trauma group. Thus, the Trauma group was subdivided into the Trauma only and ADHD/Trauma groups for further analyses. Overall, there were no significant differences between the ADHD and ADHD/Trauma groups on any of the cognitive or behavioural measures. The Trauma only group demonstrated very little impairment on cognitive and behavioural measures, with the exception of significantly lower performance on a memory composite score as compared to the normative sample. When compared to the two ADHD groups, the Trauma group demonstrated significantly higher scores on an executive functioning composite, and significantly fewer elevations on BASC parent, teacher, and self-report measures of Behavioural Symptoms, Externalizing Problems, School Problems, Adaptive Skills, Locus of Control and Depression. These findings suggest that children with symptomatic trauma are at risk for developing behavioural symptoms similar to those seen in ADHD, as well as similar cognitive and behavioural profiles to children with ADHD without exposure to trauma

The Silent War against the Japanese Navy

On the day the bombs fell on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. Navy, or at least a tiny segment of it, had had the Imperial Japanese Navy under attack for about twenty years. The attack was, of course, a silent one, of which the Japanese were totally unaware

ISCCP CX observations during the FIRE/SRB Wisconsin Experiment from October 14 through November 2, 1986

Maps and tables are presented which show 45 satellite derived physical, radiation, or cloud parameters from ISCCP CX tapes during the FIRE/SRB Wisconsin experiment region from October 14 through November 2, 1986. Pixel locations selected for presentation are for an area which coincided with a 100 x 100 km array of evenly spaced ground truth sites. Area-averaged parameters derived from the ISSCP data should be consistent with area averages from the groundtruth stations

Case Study In Operations Management

  This case study is conducted within the context of the Theory of Constraints. The field research reported in this document contains information specific to the telecommunications industry. An examination of the history, organization design, problems and solutions for one telecommunications company are undertaken from the perspective of academic work in the Theory of Constraints. The information included in this document was developed through interviews with four senior managers including the President, the Chief Technology Officer, a Vice President and a department manager. Their responses were the basis of identifying problems and undesirable effects. The undesirable effects were diagramed in six UDE clouds dealing with the following issues: 1- unclear vision from management to employees; 2- supplier; 3- market; 4- the price and regulation environment; 5- production; and 6- bureaucracy. These undesirable effects were logically examined until a single cloud depicting the core conflict was found. This core conflict is the company cannot simultaneously choose to make money over time through both conducting business as usual, and through means that are adapted to the environment and customer needs. Solutions tried to date by the company are explained. These solutions are reviewed from both and internal and external perspective. Alternative solutions are examined, as are obstacles to reaching the desired state. The case concludes with thoughts on the future desired state

Can\u27t Live With \u27Em Can\u27t Live Without \u27Em: An Analysis of the Trial Court\u27s Authority to Hear and Decide Child-Related Claims in North Carolina Post-Baumann

In Baumann-Chacon v. Baumann, decided in May 2011, the North Carolina Court of Appeals held for the first time that trial courts have the authority to enter orders related to child custody and child support before a husband and wife have separated. The Baumann court carefully distinguished its decision from the holding in Harper v. Harper, a 1981 case in which the court held that the wife’s pre-separation custody and child support claims should have been dismissed. The Baumann decision raises some interesting questions about the limits of the trial court’s ability to enter orders protecting the interests of children when those interests conflict with the rights of parents. Part I of this Article discusses the historical background of the role of fault in divorce and other domestic claims in the United States and North Carolina. Part II analyzes the Court of Appeals’ decision in Harper and the state of the law following the Harper ruling. Part III analyzes the Court of Appeals’ decision in Baumann. Part IV considers how North Carolina’s approach to pre-separation child custody and support claims compares to the law in other states. Finally, Part V discusses the implications and application of Baumann for North Carolina practitioners
