.... to deal with the situation that causes him or her stress (Hardy et al., 1996). Arousal Can be considered a signal to the individual that he or she has entered a stressful state and is characterized by psychological signs (Hardy et al., 1996). Those three definitions now being clarified, another important point that needs to be made is the difference between state and trait anxiety. While state anxiety can be considered to be more situational in nature and is often associated with arousal of the autonomic nervous system. Trait anxiety can be thought of as a world view that in individual uses when coping with situations in his or her environment (Speilb .....

.... were considered to be. The victim was said to be in a state of defilement. This Hebrew term was translated as lepros, which the word leprosy came from. The disease’s probable origin was the Indus Valley that is located in India. Leprosy spread from there to the Mediterranean region and North Africa, then all of Europe was affected. This disease is much less common now, as the world case count has dropped below 1 million. During 1995 about 530 000 new cases of leprosy were discovered. It is obvious that third world countries have way more cases as India, Indonesia, and Myanmar account for almost 70% of the cases reported in the world. 5500 kn .....

.... difficulties with their physicians.(n2) Most physicians' training and practice focus more heavily on the audiologic and pathologic aspects of hearing loss--etiology, detection and treatment--than on the issues that affect successful communication. An improved physician-patient alliance may be achieved with a better understanding of background issues, assistive devices, interview techniques and sources of further information. Guidelines for assessment of deaf and hard-of-hearing patients are provided in Table 1. Table 2 provides suggestions for conducting interviews with these patients. Illustrative Case A 60-year-old deaf woman, a native user of .....

.... of 1994, she ended her life with the assistance of her doctor. She suffered from a terminal illness called ALS (a.k.a. amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Lou Gehrig's disease). The disease progressively worsens until it robs the individual of all their abilities (like walking, control of body movement, swallowing and breathing) until they are totally dependent on mechanical devices to survive. Before she ended her life, she brought the debate over assisted suicide and the right to die to the Supreme Court of British Columbia (which was denied) and then to the British Columbia Court of Appeal which was lost. She fought though for the right to change the l .....

.... some kind of surveillance. 3. Richard Elliot wanted to proof that Britain was les consumption-minded than the US. But what he found out was quite different. He found many examples of consumption-crazy Britons who had ran up huge bills and driven their family into oppressive debt. Another thing he found out was that their shopping was used as a therapy to give their mood a lift. They got their support from shop assis-tants. This may be one way of buying social support. Shopaholics Shopaholics is becoming a more and more frequently known disease. It is not only found in the US, but all over the world including Denmark. In Britain a nation wide survey reveale .....

.... you lie in on the weekends when you wake up slowly and gradually change from the sub-conscious mind to the conscious mind. This is called lucid dreaming. With this you can take partial control of what happens during a dream. Since you can do this you don't have to be restricted to do all the things you do in real life but you could do whatever you like because it's your mind that's controlling you not your body and gravity. For example, you could fly or walk through walls. The powers of dreams The dreaming world could be a very powerful thing so much so that it causes a baby to be born because of lucid dreaming. In a true story taken from the book called Liv .....

.... the spread of this hideously lethal disease. In this essay I hope to present this information. History and Overview: AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Defficiency Disease. It is caused by a virus. The disease originated somewhere in Africa about 20 years ago. There it first appeared as a mysterious ailment afflicting primarily heterosexuals of both sexes. It probably was spread especially fast by primarily female prostitutes there. AIDS has already become a crisis of STAGGERING proportions in parts of Africa. In Zaire, it is estimated that over twenty percent of the adults currently carry the virus. That figure is increasing. .....

.... has also realized that much more is still ahead. During the course of evolution, ever since early Homo sapiens and his ancestors walked on the surface of the earth, man has wondered about himself, and how he relates to the natural world. People learned and adapted to new lifestyles. As time passed, humans learned to record history. They analyzed past events and applied this knowledge to solve problems. These processes improved as more and more people supplied their experiences to the common pool of knowledge. Such co-operation created the modern man with his superb ability to think. Many sciences were born. Some of them centered around humans. .....
