.....brain training games on aged individuals displaying the initial symptoms of dementia. This research will be conducted on the premise that participating in cognition-related activities impacts cognitive impairment inception and occurrence (Connor & Shaw, 2016; Lampit et al., 2014). Further, participating in such cognitive pursuits (even those linked to digital games) can probably aid aged persons without dementia in improving or at least maintaining their cognitive abilities. Hence, this research attempts to determine the likely advantages brain training has in deferring or suppressing clinical dementia onset in aged persons. The hypothesis that will be tested in this study is as follows:Hypothesis: Brain training games improves the cognitive abilities of aged individuals with initial symptoms of dementia.
This research project would contribute to existing literature regarding how to manage dementia, which is a serious mental illness with significant impacts on brain functions like language, memory, and visuospatial operations. If proven successful, the project will play a critical role in stopping dementia through the use of non-intense video games to improve the cognitive abilities of patients with the condition.
The research project will involve several stakeholders given its probability to help stop dementia among aged individuals if successful. The involvement of the various stakeholders is attributable to the fact that the identification of a suitable management technique for a mental health disorder. In this regard, this project requires the participation of several researchers i.e. principle investigators and research assistances, data analysts, consultants, study/clinical coordinators, and lab technicians. In addition, several materials and equipment will be utilized to conduct the study in order to achieve the objectives of the project.
Generally, conducting a research project of this magnitude requires incurring direct and indirect costs because of the complexities involved. Some of the direct costs that will be incurred in conducting this research include salaries and wages, administrative and clerical support, and consumable supplies and materials. On the other hand, indirect costs include facilities and administrative costs that are not readily allocated to a specific component of the project's execution.
For this budget, the indirect costs represent 10% of the total direct costs of conducting the research. This is primarily because indirect costs need to represent a fraction of the total direct costs of a research project (University of Michigan, n.d.). The researcher has estimated that 10% of the direct costs of the research would be suitable to cover the indirect costs like facilities and administrative support provided by the university when conducting this research.
The estimated salaries and wages of the principal researcher, co-researcher, research assistants, consultants, interviewers, study/clinical coordinators, data managers/analysts, and lab technicians was determined through dividing their average annual salaries by 12 months. This was followed by examining the time period they will be involved in the study i.e. 2 months to obtain the best possible estimate. Moreover, these salaries and wages were estimated on the premise that some of these personnel will only be involved in the research project relatively half the time. The costs of equipment, materials and supplies, travel, and services was determined through examining the current market costs of these items. The other costs represent any additional costs that could be utilized in conducting the research such as stipends to research participants…
The information gathered in this part of the study will be compiled in a written format and essay form. EXPERTS The second method of research that will be used will be the interview of medical experts in the field. Those that agree to be in the study will be sent questions by email or interviewed by telephone. They will be able to choose the form of participation they want to provide. They
Estimates of cost savings from the reduction in film costs as well as through reduced work hours needed for the creation of images and the reading of images by physicians will lead to an average annual cost savings of between five hundred- and seven hundred and fifty-thousand dollars a year, leading to an overall cost benefit of one hundred- to three hundred and fifty-thousand dollars a year compared to traditional
Program Budget and Cost Analysis Line-Item Budget for an in-Service Dementia Care Training Program Florida now requires all direct-care staff working with dementia patients to receive specialized training. The curricula offered must be vetted by the Training Academy of the University of South Florida's Policy Exchange Center on Aging, otherwise assisted living facilities, nursing homes, adult day care, and hospices will be unable to accept patients with dementia into their facilities. In
In terms of similarities, each of these budgets contains roughly the same basic format. While the specific charts may differ, each budget separates revenue sources and attempts to break those down. The budgets also explain the expenditures, and typically break these down to each individual program within the department. A similarity between three of the budgets (Federal, Florida and Newark) is that they rely heavily on tables and written explanations.

Engineering Ethics This post-mortem report is directed to the British Petroleum (BP) board of directors concerning the BP Texas City refinery explosion incident that took place on March 23, 2005. A series of explosions occurred during the restarting of the hydrocarbon isomerization unit in the Texas City refinery. The main technical reason behind the initial explosion was the flooding of the over-pressurized distillation column, which ended up in a geyser of
