Dr. Sheffield is a clinical psychologist who specializes in treating pathological gambling. Pathological gambling is defined as

being unable to resist impulses to gamble. Bothered by not having a good measure that he can give to clients to determine whether they are suffering from this condition, he creates a new measure of pathological gambling. The measure has 15 questions, and it takes 20 minutes to complete. To test his measure, Dr. Sheffield gives his measure to a group of his clients and at the same time measures how many times they have been gambling in the past month. He predicts that clients who score higher on his measure will also report gambling more times in the past month. This procedure is meant to provide evidence for which of the following?

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In a criterion validity test, the results of the test are correlated with the outcomes in future. In this study, the measures of gambling is used to depict the possible outcomes. If the clients tested on gambling measure score high, then it gives the relation of their gambling frequency in past.  

It is a predictive validity type of criterion validity test in which it is estimated that how likely the test or measure score can depict the future or past behaviour of the client.

Thus it is true

<h2>Answer is option "b"</h2>

Explanation:

  • Non-ionizing radiation is radiation that has a lower frequency, or longer wavelength, in the EMR spectrum. These frequencies range from that of power lines, radios, and cell phones, up to visible light. Non-ionizing radiation is not powerful enough to break the chemical bonds in molecules. In general, it is not harmful to human health as radiation per se, but could be harmful in terms of the transfer of heat energy. An example of an emitter of non-ionizing radiation is a microwave oven.
  • Non-ionizing radiation is less harmful because the rays carry much less energy. Radio waves, light, and even heat are examples of non-ionizing radiation. For the most part, these kinds of radiation do not cause any damage. However, ultraviolet light is a kind of non-ionizing radiation that can be harmful - it can cause mutations in DNA
  • Non-ionizing radiation is limited to the lower energy range electromagnetic radiation, which is more commonly known as light. However, the light we can see with our eyes, visible light, is only a small section of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum as seen here
  • Hence the right answer is option "b"

Which of the following statements is correct regarding pathologic hyperplasia? - Produces abnormal proliferation of abnormal cel
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer: May occur in response to growth factors

Explanation:  

Hyperplasia is increased cell production in a normal tissue or organ. Hyperplasia may be a sign of abnormal or precancerous changes. This is called pathologic hyperplasia.

Pathologic hyperplasia can occur in response to hormones and growth factors (for example in endometrial hyperplasia, the hyperplasia caused by excessive hormonal stimulation or growth factors acting on target. Thus, patients with hyperplasia of the endometrium are at increased risk for developing endometrial cancer.)  

Hyperplasia is also an important response of connective tissue cells in wound healing, in which proliferating fibroblasts and blood vessels aid in repair.

Under normal circumstances, growth factors are responsible for the hyperplasia. Stimulation by growth factors is also involved in the hyperplasia that is associated with certain viral infections, such as papillomaviruses, which cause skin warts and several mucosal lesions composed of masses of hyperplastic epithelium.

Other important concepts to note:

Dysplasia refers to abnormal changes in the size, shape, and organization of mature cells. Compensatory hyperplasia enables organ regeneration and is a normal process: hyperplasia is not normal. Pathologic hyperplasia increases cell number. Hypertrophy is an increase in the size of cells and consequently in the size of the affected organ.
