Original discussion board. There are three possible diagnoses in this scenario.  Can you identify them?  Discuss. Nadine was a 15-year-old girl whose mother brought her for a psychiatric evaluation to help her with long-standing shyness. Although Nadine was initially reluctant to say much about herself, she said she felt constantly tense. She was generally unable to speak in any situation outside of her home or school classes. She refused to leave her house alone for fear of being forced to interact with someone. She was especially anxious around other teenagers, but she also became “too nervous” to speak to adult neighbors she had known for years. She said it felt impossible to walk into a restaurant and order from “a stranger at the counter” for fear of being humiliated. Nadine also felt she constantly was on her guard, needing to avoid the possibility of getting attacked. She was the most confident when she was alone in her room. From seventh grade to ninth grade, Nadine’s peers turned on her. The bullying was daily and included intense name-calling (for example – “stupid,” “ugly,” “crazy”) and physical threats. One girl (the ringleader) had been Nadine’s good friend in elementary school, but hit her and gave her a black eye. Nadine did not fight back. She refused to tell her parents what happened but cried herself to sleep at night. Nadine transferred to a specialty arts high school for ninth grade. Even though the bullying ended, she could not make friends. Nadine felt even more unable to venture into new places. She felt increasingly self-conscious that she could not do as much on her own. Nadine was even scared to read a book by herself in a local, public park. She had nightmares about the bullies in her old school. She spent whole weekends “trapped” in her home. respond classmate 1: From what we’ve been told about Nadine, she is suffering from paranoia, anxiety, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Nadine is experiencing paranoia because she is afraid to speak to strangers to order food or just about anyone outside of her own home. She believes that she may get attacked or ridiculed. This leads to the anxiety of always watching over her shoulder and being fearful of others around her. She is suffering from PTSD because she was tormented for years by whom she thought were her friends. Now, she can’t read a book in public, has a lack of confidence, and endures nightmares consistently to the point where she’s not even free in her own home. respond classmate 2: If I had to choose three diagnoses to diagnosis Nadine with the first one that I would choose is 313.23 which is selective mutism. Selective mutism is a complex childhood anxiety disorder characterized by a child’s inability to speak and communicate effectively in select social settings, such as school. These children are able to speak communicate in a setting where they are comfortable, secure, and relaxed. In the scenario, it stated that Nadine was unable to speak in any situation outside of her home and school classes. The second diagnosis that I will diagnose Nadine with is 300.23 which is Social Anxiety Disorder (social phobia). According to DSM-5 book, this disorder sometimes emerges out of a childhood history of social inhibition or shyness in U.S. and European studies. The onset of social anxiety disorder may follow a stressful or humiliating experience (e.g., being bullied, vomiting during a public speech), or it may be insidious, developing slowly. The last and final diagnosis is 300.22- Agoraphobia. In the scenario, it stated that Nadine was scared to read a book by herself in a local, public park.  This diagnostic criterion is a fear or anxiety about two or more of the following five situations, using public transportation, being in open spaces, being in enclosed spaces, standing in line or being in a crowd and being outside of the home alone. These are the three possible diagnoses that I would diagnose Nadine with for her current symptoms. In my opinion, Selective Mutism diagnose would be my first choice.

This building construction report will comprise a professional industry standard report comparing a range of industrial, commercial, and retail building types (Pick one out of the three). You will need to carry out an observation inspection of the building you have selected and gather all individual building construction information to complete this assessment (Please select a building that is from Australia Brisbane City QLD). You also need to prepare a short presentation to pitch your selected building to your student peers. The pitch must include all important information for a property investor who is considering the purchase of a building in Brisbane. You must select your building on Week 1 and your building does not need to be for sale in order to complete this assignment.  You will invest, study, and analyze the building you have selected and reported it. The report should follow the structure given in this Brief. The aim of the analysis is to report conditions of the building to an investor who plans to purchase the building. The report must follow the presentation guidelines and should have approximately 2,000 words (a reference list, executive summary, tables/figures, cover page, and captions not included). The word count under or over 10% of the requirement will reduce the mark by 10%. You also need to prepare a short presentation, so-called ‘elevator speech’, for your building. The presentation should be a maximum 5-minute pitch to market your building to a mock investor that your student peers represent. For the Zoom presentations, you must select your own presentation group. The registration tool will be available on BlackBoard. Additional to your presentation, you need to evaluate your peer students’ presentations. The evaluation tool will be available before the presentation day and you must submit your reviews via BlackBoard. A presentation and completed peer-reviews represent 10% of your final grade. Every student must give a presentation that is peer-reviewed by other students. The presentations can be given ONLY on the day stated in the Unit Map. The peer-reviews are used for the mark given from the presentation part of the assessment item 2. If you do not give a presentation, your presentation will be marked by the teaching staff. If you do not submit peer reviews, your presentation mark will be reduced the mark by 50%. You must submit your report, presentation, and peer reviews via BlackBoard Assignment links. Be careful that you use the correct submission link. The report and presentation must be submitted separately using the different links. The following is a guideline as to how your assessment report should be structured. Table of contents: Executive Summary 1.0 Introduction 2.0 Location (suburb, population, surrounding buildings and landmarks) 3.0 Building Description (building type – retail, industrial, commercial, no. floors, estimated age, condition) 4.0 Building Design (floor plan, architecture, street presence and overall presentation) 5.0 Construction Materials (material type and description – floor type, framing, external walls, roofing, internal fitout) 6.0 Building Services (air-conditioning, public facilities such as toilets, elevators, fire systems, etc.) 7.0 Sustainability (any energy efficiency technologies, natural light and ventilation) 8.0 Ongoing maintenance and operational issues (visible damage given the use of the building or due to the age of the building) 9.0 Leasing and ownership issues (i.e. are there any vacancies? What are the current tenants? Does it require significant works and refurbishment? Is the fit-out too old to compete against with new stock on the market?) 10.0 Recommendations (why should we invest in your building?) 11.0 Conclusion 12.0 Reference List (refer to QUT Cite and Write) Appendix (i.e. any inspection photos, any searches you may have undertaken and have referenced)

We are starting Historical Criticism. Read Chapter 6 on Historical Criticism with all the examples and all the exercises. This type of criticism requires research, since you need to know about the authors’ lives, time period, etc.   For the writing assignment for this week, you will answer the following questions. There is a Spanish movie directed by Carlos Atanes based on “The Metamorphosis” that places the action in Germany during the Nazi time. Why would the director of the movie make the decision to change the time? Why did he decide to pick the Nazi time and Germany? How does that emphasize the main idea of the story? To answer these questions, you will have to conduct research. Write two-three pages. This is not a formal essay, just answers to my questions. You do NOT have to watch the film to answer my questions, but it might be beneficial to do it. I do not want to provide you with a link since they change all the time and I am sure you can do it on your own. You have to do research and find out when the story was written and who the author was. You will have to think why the director of the film decided to change time and place and explain it.
