posttraumatic stress disorder in alcohol dependent men: A case study. Clin Case Study 10(6), 427-439. doi: 10.1177/1534650111429376
In this article the researchers examine male attitudes to the news that their partners have had abortions. It is a case study that focuses on a 46-year-old male who experienced posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in response to his partner's abortion. The patient, who also experienced alcohol dependence and was in a residential treatment program for substance abuse at the time of the study, received 12 sessions of Prolonged Exposure therapy to deal with the impact of the PTSD. At the conclusion of those sessions, the patient saw a significant decrease in his PTSD symptoms. The researchers concluded that Prolonged Exposure, which is an established treatment for PTSD, is effective in treating abortion-related PTSD.
Critical Review
Overall, the article provided...
As a case study, it focused on the results for a single individual, but the researchers did provide some quantitative support for their conclusions, in the form of tests measuring PTSD symptoms.
The research article was not organized like most research articles; the authors did not break it down into the expected sections. Therefore, there was no section labeled "results." Instead, the results were contained in a section labeled "course of treatment and assessment of progress." That section was written as a cohesive essay that moved fluidly from a description of the patient's presenting systems into how the patient responded to treatment. This is an unorthodox approach to the presentation of results in a research article. However, the case study format and the fact that the results were individualized made the presentation of results seem very appropriate for a case-study type of qualitative method research.
The researchers did connect the results to general research questions or goals. The overarching…

This was incorrect. He should have recalculated the sample size again rather than assume that the sample/population ratio was scalable. Baker also erred when he made the assumption that the sample deviation rate and allowance for sampling risk could be added and compared with the achieved upper deviation rate. This is incorrect -- the calculation should have been made differently. Indeed, his calculation of the allowance for sampling risk was
Baker, J.J. & Baker, R.W., Budgets Static budgets are used to make sales, revenue, and expense forecasts for companies with predictable expense and sales patterns. Expense and revenue figures in static budgets do not change, regardless of the actual level of activity. Very often, therefore, there are deviations between actual amounts and budgeted amounts -- this difference is referred to as static budget variance. In this case: budgeted sales (output) = 25,000

III.1. Value innovation and Blue Ocean Strategy The Blue Ocean Strategy was developed by Kim and Mauborgne (2005) and it's the result of long-term strategy study over 30 industries covering 120 years. The core idea of this theory is to create value for the firm and its buyers by taking the differentiation-cost trade-off to a different level. Successful firms may want to create "blue oceans," which represent the new/innovative solution in

The growing need for interdisciplinary education in the sciences has been recognized, as well, since students have often limited themselves to a specialized field without gaining the required skill sets to undertake broader issues. As the world becomes more complex, technology faster and business increasingly competitive, organizations are going to need "Renaissance people" who have a broad background in different areas, so they can clearly see the gestalt of a
