From the Paper
"Hyperactivity
Andrew always seems to be restless. He is always in motion and never stays in one place for a period of time. He always roams around his room in school and transfers from one seat to another. He tries to do one activity after another. Sometimes, he is incessantly talkative and does disturbing things such as tapping his pencil noisily or fidgeting around his classroom. At home, Andrew?s hyperactivity is shown during his playtime. He shifts from one game to another, leaving a muddle of toys behind."

From the Paper
"After this evening's events, I was struck by how much better Robin was able to contain her activity level earlier in the evening. The mother told me that Robin functioned much better when structure was better and tended to become extremely active and sometimes even dangerously and impulsively active as structure decreased. She told me then that Robin had recently been diagnosed with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD). She reported that both she and Marie have the inattentive form of the disorder but that Marie was diagnosed with the hyperactive type."

From the Paper
"Reflected in Michael's inability to sit still during read aloud time, Michael also expresses no verbal desire to read silently, or even flip through picture books for more than a few minutes. Michael states to the EA frequently that he does not want to learn how to read because it is boring. The EA has in the past had no answer but more recently devised a way to help Michael understand the importance of reading by bringing simple instructions to school that accompany objects and items that almost cannot be used without a careful reading of the simple instructions."

Abstract
The paper looks at PepsiCo's recent decision to implement a new procurement tracking and data-keeping system for its international operations. It paper examines the objective that drove the change, the factors at play which made it desirable, the main participants in the new design, and the systems development cycle approach which would have worked best had it been implemented at the start of the entire process.
Finally, the paper looks at the problems and opportunities that would have been considered by the student if he had been in charge of the design and implementation of the new procurement system.
From the Paper
"The following paper will briefly review five questions which invariably arise when assessing why a particular systems arrangement is adopted by an organization. Specifically, the paper will look at PepsiCo's objectives for any Purchase to Pay system modification it undertakes, what factors were present to motivate the company to implement the project, who were the main participants PepsiCo had to involve so as to develop the corporation's revamped Purchase to Pay system, which systems development cycle approach would have been best for the PepsiCo project and, not least of all, what problems and opportunities should have been considered in conducting the initial systems investigation? This is a fairly complex topic, but the underlying truth it reveals are not especially complex at all; to wit, the case study of PepsiCo underscores how important it is to examine every option and scenario before making detailed changes.."

Abstract
This paper presents a case study of a little girl called Theresa who is diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The paper explains the disorder and discusses the different symptoms evident in a child with ADHD. Different methods of treatment are explored. The paper contends that, while there are many speculative theories of the cause of ADHD, the actual cause is unknown.
From the Paper
"To offer a shared understanding of what attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) is, the following case study is presented for the reader. Theresa is a five-year-old girl attending kindergarten in a small town. Prior to beginning kindergarten, Theresa seemed to be well adjusted and well liked by everyone. Everything changed when she started kindergarten. Theresa's teacher was sending home notes on a daily basis describing behavior that was not the normal for Theresa. According to her teacher, Theresa refused to follow the class rules and was causing problems and getting in fights with the other children. Naturally, Theresa's mother was concerned and worked diligently with the teacher to turn Theresa's behavior around. All to no avail. Theresa kept getting into trouble and her mother, in a last ditch effort, decided to take Theresa in to see a physician. The family physician referred Theresa to a child psychologist in hopes they would be able to make a diagnosis. Some of Theresa's abnormal behaviors included constant motion when she was suppose to be sitting down or resting quietly with the rest of the class, constant body motion when she was sitting (i.e. swinging her feet, tapping her hands on the desk), not paying attention to the teacher. The psychologists interviewed Theresa and her mother and observed Theresa for several hours. Of course the behaviors in question were all present during the entire interview. At the conclusion of the interview, the psychologist diagnosed Theresa with ADHD."

Abstract
The following paper takes the reader on an exploratory journey of an adolescent's struggle with ADHD and substance abuse disorder. The author discusses the intake interview, the admissions to the treatment center, the assessment process, the treatment plan and the out patient treatment plan. The author contends that the symptoms of substance abuse are so similar to the symptoms of untreated or under treated ADHD and thus as a result the client in the case study is asked to submit to random drug testing by his parents.
From the Paper
"This report will serve as a case study for Tom, who is a 16-year-old adolescent male. Tom has had a history of problems in which he has defied authority, shown a lack of respect for those around him and displays symptoms indicative of a low self-esteem. Tom's mother brought him to the treatment center for admission stating that she has no way to control him any longer. She reported that Tom had been arrested for curfew violation three times within the last month. The last time the juvenile judge told her that if he got arrested again she would have to pay a steep fine, and he may decide to take Tom from her and place him in a supervised group home."

Abstract
While acknowledging the contributions of medication, behavioral and social therapy, neurological/cognitive/brain-based training and environmental changes, this paper focuses on the evidence supporting the use of physical exercise as a treatment option. The author presents a case for children who have ADHD and suggests that making use of their inability to sit still can be channeled into specific, patterned movement (i.e. dance, martial arts, exercise) to stimulate brain activity and reinforce neurological connections that will facilitate focus and learning. Besides a review of scholarly journal articles, the paper also includes a case study that illustrates how one child with ADHD has benefited from spending half his day at school and the other half in a professional dance program (20+ hours a week).

From the Paper
"The frontal lobe region of the cerebral cortex allows for the planning and execution of complex and complicated tasks. We often refer to the activity of this portion of the brain as executive function, and we think that children with ADHD have deficits in executive functioning" (Schlozman & Schlozman, 2000). ADHD brains develop in fundamentally different ways. Yong (2007) reports how researchers from the National Institute of Mental Health found that ADHD brains develop on a delayed schedule. While the brain's four lobes develop in very much the same way, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed that that the thickness of the child's cerebral cortex differed from those of typical children. Life experiences make connections between nerve cells and the cortex thickens, with unused connections being trimmed away. Because these researchers found that ADHD brains matured about three years later, they consider ADHD a "disorder of delay, not deviance". Delays in the lateral prefrontal cortex in particular explain why children with ADHD have trouble "suppressing inappropriate thoughts and actions, directing attention, short-term memory and controlling movement." On the other hand, the primary motor cortex which helps to plan and control movements matured faster. These differences in maturation might neurologically explain the various characteristics displayed by children with ADHD."

"The issue of ADHD is one that has been misunderstood for many years. There are individuals that study it and discuss how significant it is, and there are others that see it as some kind of made-up problem that is really not important enough to focus on. Both of these are valid points of view but, in recent years, it has generally been accepted that ADHD does exist, and that the study of it is important. Unlike standard medical problems, such as diseases that affect the body, ADHD is not something that can be 'cured,' as it is understood in the traditional sense."

From the Paper
"ADD/ADHD students often find it difficult to organize time efficiently to complete tasks. One way to assist them so learning is maximized is by creating a calendar, and on each day of the calendar outlining what skills and information the student should study or learn on those dates (Dennison, Schwiebert & Sealander, 2002). The authors note it is important that teachers work with students in multiple classes to help them learn a teacher's unique learning style so the student can better track materials, "course content and assignments" and even work with students to "modify tasks and instructions to help a student stay focused" (Dennison, Schwiebert & Sealander, 2002, p. 3).

Abstract
This paper relates that marketing is a vital part of the successful cases of BMW Films, Prozac/Paxil, Sony's EyeToy and Tivo. The author points out that, because BMW's customers are technologically oriented, BMW Films must consider marketing collateral based on pod-casts, blogs and an RSS news/advertisement campaign distributed via the Internet. The paper relates that the strategy of marketing pharmaceutical product for diseases, like "social phobia", whose discovery were at least partially funded by the major pharmaceuticals themselves, is highly effective and creates a market where previously none existed. The author underscores that the strategy of bundling the EyeToy product with Sony's existing computer game stations eliminates the consumer perception that EyeToy is a low cost device. The paper realizes that Tivo's marketing department is limited by the confines of its retail distribution and manufacturing agreements.

"BMW's target market differs somewhat with each of its product lines although in all cases its overall target market is considered affluent to some degree. For the 3 series product line, BMW's target market is described as the upwardly mobile, young professional who declaring him or herself to be on the way up the ladder of success. For the 5 series product line, BMW's target market is largely a repeat customer who has reached a degree of established success and can afford the added accoutrement of the mid-range BMW luxury product."

Abstract
The steelworkers' trilogy cases greatly changed the way that arbitration is dealt with in America. In light of this, the paper discusses and analyzes these three cases and determines what arbitration was like before and after the cases took place. This study looks at arbitration in various cases (most notably the steelworkers' trilogy) based on unfair labor practices. There is significance to this based on the fact that the way that arbitration is conducted was changed based on these cases and they made a significant difference in the way that the laws regarding arbitration were handled. Looked at here are the steelworkers' trilogy cases, the history of arbitration both before and after the cases, and the impact that these cases had on arbitration in this country.

Abstract
Introduction
Arbitration Before the Steelworkers' Trilogy Cases
The Steelworker Trilogy Cases
Case #1 - United Steelworkers of America v. American Manufacturing Co.
Case #2 - United Steelworkers of America v. Enterprise Wheel & Car Corp.
Case #3 - United Steelworkers of America v. Warrior & Gulf Navigation Co.
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The steelworkers trilogy cases of 1960 gained much attention at the time and remained famous for years afterward as being the most significant cases where the arbitration of grievances were concerned. In these cases, the United States Supreme Court was aware of the necessity of strict rules to keep arbitration honest and fair for all of the parties that are involved with it. One of the laws under which arbitration awards may be forced or vacated is Section 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act, which has been used for some time in various cases. The Federal Arbitration Act also created guidelines to ensure that arbitration is fair, and there are only four circumstances under Federal law where an arbitration award may be changed or vacated under this Act."

ADHD, 2006.
An overview of Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder.
2,522 words (approx. 10.1 pages), 10 sources, APA, £ 52.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper takes an in-depth look at the behavioral disorder known as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), providing a general look at the symptoms of the disorder and its diagnosis. It then discusses additional conditions that often accompany ADHD through two case studies. The author also explores what is known about the etiology of the disorder, and looks at treatment options available for ADHD.
From the Paper
"Treating ADHD is a difficult task. For many years, the medication that was used to treat ADHD was based on studies that were done in adults and not in children. Because children's metabolisms and developmental stages are so different from those of adults, drug prescriptions can easily be ineffectual or dangerous, particularly with psychotropic medications."

Abstract
Through an analysis of the literature, this paper examines the key components of ADHD, including prevalence and diagnosis. Its causes,including biological and socio-environmental factors (i.e. diet, maternal smoking and difficult family environments) are discussed, as are a number of common treatments including stimulant drugs, counselling, behavioural methods and alternative therapies. Detailed results from the "Multi-Model Treatment Study" for children with ADHD are also presented. Further study into the area of cognitive behavioral therapy is recommended.
From the Paper
"Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is defined by the DSM-IV as a "persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that is more frequent and severe than is typically observed in individuals at a comparable level of development" (American Psychiatric Association, 2000, p78). Experts estimate that between three to five percent of school-age children have ADHD, with an average of two to three times as many boys than girls being affected. ADHD is the most common childhood psychiatric disorder and is usually diagnosed during the early school years. In most cases symptoms ease during late adolescents and adulthood, although a minority experience major symptoms of the disorder into mid-adulthood (American Psychiatric Association, 2000)."
