False Positive Drug Test Background Erika A. Alvarez – C03087541 University of Miami False Positive Drug Test Background Drug testing is one action an employer can take to determine if employees or job applicants are using drugs. It can identify evidence of recent use of alcohol, prescription drugs and illicit drugs. Currently, drug testing does not test for impairment or whether a person’s behavior is, or was, impacted by drugs. Drug testing works best when implemented based on

Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems (AFIS) in law enforcement and border control applications has heightened the need for ensuring that these systems are not compromised. While several issues related to fingerprint system security have been investigated, including the use of fake fingerprints for masquerading identity, the problem of fingerprint alteration or obfuscation has received very little attention. Fingerprint obfuscation refers to the deliberate alteration of the fingerprint pattern

Article Critique In the quantitative study by Turid Moller and Olav Linaker (2010), they examined and compared records of information given by psychotic patients concerning their alcohol and drug problems. In their study, the research question is "Do psychotic patients under-assess themselves during early clinical interventions and what are the effects of under-assessment on their treatment outcomes?" The null hypothesis is that failing to diagnose and account for substance abuse will not lead to

A focus group instrument is used when it is well suited to the subject matter in question by listening to the opinions of others in a small and safe group setting before they form thoughts and opinions. An A typical focus group is between 6-12 homogeneous people who share similar characteristics or common interests. Focus groups generally reveal what each person within the group truly feels on the subject which provides credibility to the study. The facilitator is key to promoting an accepting

Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of adult vision loss world-wide that offers a significant diagnostic challenge. The prevalence of DR increases with duration of diabetes [31]. DR is difficult to prevent and treat. Biochemical mechanisms, such as hyperglycemia, are proposed as possible pathogenic factors in DR, while retinal vasodilation and retinal hyperperfusion, related to hypoxia and the release of nitric oxide, may be key initiating factors in early DR developments [32-35]. Hyperperfusion

ABSTRACT Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a critical complication after pediatric cardiac surgery that significantly diminishes the quality of life. Early detection of AKI after pediatric cardiac surgery can lead to better preventive and therapeutic interventions. The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) as an early marker of acute kidney injury (AKI) in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in pediatric cardiac patients. We measured serum

Taking the sample sensitivity and model specification into account root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA), incremental fit index (IFI), Tucker Lewis index or Non-normed fit index (TLI or NNFI) and comparative fit index (CFI) are considered in this study for evaluating fit indices. The grounds for reporting these indices as fit

Title Understanding how the sound of a word affects how we read and categorize. By knowing how homophobic words can play a role in our comprehension and how one learns to read. By using the dual-access theory and analyzing the theories of phonological mediation and direct access to gain insight on the way one understands words and homophone relations. The article “A ROWS is a ROSE: Spelling, sound, and reading” Van Orden researches the effects of stimulus word phonology. This study was design to

C.Post processing It has been watched that regularly Hard Exudates and Optic plate are of same splendor, shading and differentiate.Along these lines, here and there optic circle is misassumed and must be dispensed with from the results of Hard Exudates got after applying a grouping calculation to get exact Hard Exudates.Here, Circular Hough Transform is connected to the outcome acquired by applying a bunching calculation for distinguishing optic circle.when the optic circle in distinguished it is

occurring should be assessed and then the outcomes should be separated into desirable and undesirable outcomes. The fourth step is to compare utility values and the fifth step is to perform sensitivity analysis (97-98). 3.) Define the two different types of meta-analysis. A qualitative meta-analysis is “a systemic review of the literature on a particular topic” (99). Different articles on the same topic are reviewed and the results, strengths, and weaknesses of each article are assessed. A quantitative
