Philosophical, Psychological & Spiritual Perspectives On Death & Dying, David San Filippo Ph.D. Dec 2005

Philosophical, Psychological & Spiritual Perspectives On Death & Dying, David San Filippo Ph.D.

David San Filippo Ph.D.

This Ebook reviews the philosophical perspectives on death, the psychological perspectives on death and the fears of death and some religious perspectives of death. The philosophic section will review perspectives of death from ancient Greece through modernity. The psychological section will review death, and the fear of death, from the perspectives of psychoanalytic, humanistic, and existentialist theories. The religious section will provide a brief overview of Prehistoric, African, Buddhist, Hindu, Islamic, Jewish, and Christian religious beliefs concerning death and afterlife.

Use Of Stimulus-Frequency Otoacoustic Emission Latency And Level To Investigate Cochlear Mechanics In Human Ears, Kim Schairer, John C. Ellison, Denis F. Fitzpatrick, Douglas H. Keefe Dec 2005

Use Of Stimulus-Frequency Otoacoustic Emission Latency And Level To Investigate Cochlear Mechanics In Human Ears, Kim Schairer, John C. Ellison, Denis F. Fitzpatrick, Douglas H. Keefe

Kim S. Schairer

Stimulus frequency otoacoustic emission (SFOAE) sound pressure level (SPL) and latency were measured at probe frequencies from 500 to 4000 Hz and probe levels from 40 to 70 dB SPL in 16 normal-hearing adult ears. The main goal was to use SFOAE latency estimates to better understand possible source mechanisms such as linear coherent reflection, nonlinear distortion, and reverse transmission via the cochlear fluid, and how those sources might change as a function of stimulus level. Another goal was to use SFOAE latencies to noninvasively estimate cochlear tuning. SFOAEs were dominated by the reflection source at low stimulus levels, consistent …


Cardiorespiratory Fitness And Acute Aerobic Exercise Effects On Neuroelectric And Behavioral Measures Of Action Monitoring, Jason R. Themanson, Charles H. Hillman Dec 2005

Cardiorespiratory Fitness And Acute Aerobic Exercise Effects On Neuroelectric And Behavioral Measures Of Action Monitoring, Jason R. Themanson, Charles H. Hillman

Jason R. Themanson, Ph.D

Cardiorespiratory fitness and acute aerobic exercise effects on cognitive function were assessed for 28 higher- and lower-fit adults during a flanker task by comparing behavioral and neuroelectric indices of action monitoring. The error-related negativity, error positivity, and N2 components, as well as behavioral measures of response speed, accuracy, and post-error slowing were measured following a 30-minute acute bout of treadmill exercise or following 30-minutes of rest. A graded maximal exercise test was used to measure cardiorespiratory fitness by assessing maximal oxygen uptake. Results indicated that higher-fit adults exhibited reduced error-related negativity amplitude, increased error positivity amplitude, and increased post-error response …


"Body Contouring After Massive Weight Loss," Edited By A. Aly., Vivian C. Mcalister Dec 2005

"Body Contouring After Massive Weight Loss," Edited By A. Aly., Vivian C. Mcalister

Vivian C. McAlister

Nowhere is the failure of the health care system, as currently managed, more evident than in the surgical care of obesity. A marked contrast has emerged between surgery in the United States and Canada for these patients. It is not clear whether the reluctance to supply surgical services in Canada is due to a bias in favour of “more deserving” patients or whether the considerably higher rate of obesity surgery in the US is due to the excesses of private enterprise. Governments have acknowledged that an element of the former proposition is true by referring obese patients to centres in …

Competency based strategies for educational outcomes have been in development in many health related fields over the past several years. These have the intent of improving the quality and competency of graduates. With many optometric programs in both developed and underdeveloped countries in their infancy, use of these strategies could not only improve educational outcomes but standardize training. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) is the accrediting body for all United States medical residencies and fellowships. In 2001, they began the Outcomes Project which mandated specific training and evaluation in the six General Competencies: patient care, medical knowledge, …
