Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

The woman is experiencing schizophrenia and is displaying a positive symptom.

Explanation:

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder primarily characterized by hallucinations and delusions, as well as a disorganization in speech, abnormal motor behavior and negative symptoms.

Let's break down the first two:

Hallucinations: a perception without an external stimulus present. They come through the senses. An individual can hear voices (hearing hallucination) or see things (sight hallucination), for example.
Delusion: a false belief which the individual tends to accept as the truth and reality. It can be paranoid, fear of persecution, reference and grandiose, amongst others.

Mental disorders tend to have 2 types of symptoms:

Positive: an added trait, such as the hallucinations and delusions.
Negative: a removed trait, loss of it, such as apathy, no energy to do anything and anhedonia, amongst others.

In this case, the woman has the delusion that an eagle is a secret spy for her husband and has the hallucination that it makes a shotgun sound. Her belief that the eagle delivers her check is perceived as her reality.

The woman is displaying positive symptoms of schizophrenia, understood as the hallucinations and delusions.

While working on a site in State A, a State B construction worker was standing near a steel crane when the crane's boom swung near a high tension power line. The worker was electrocuted and severely injured. The worker filed an action in federal district court against the power company that owns the power lines. The action seeks $500,000 and alleges that the power company's negligent construction, maintenance, and operation of the power lines caused the injury. The power company is a State A corporation and all its operations are in State A. The power company filed a third-party complaint against the owner-operator of the crane, a State B citizen. The third-party claim is based on state law and alleges that the crane's owner-operator is liable to the power company for any liability the power company has to the injured worker. The worker amended his complaint to add a state law negligence claim for $500,000 against the crane's owner-operator.Does the federal court have subject matter jurisdiction over the worker's claim against the owner-operator of the crane?

A No, because the court does not have supplemental jurisdiction over the worker's claim against the owner-operator of the crane.

B Yes, because the claim arose from the same transaction or occurrence as the worker's claim against the power company.

C Yes, because all claims asserted arose from a common nucleus of operative fact.

D Yes, because the State B worker has sufficient contacts with State A.

Answers

Answer: No, because the court does not have supplemental jurisdiction over the worker's claim against the owner-operator of the crane.

Explanation:

Based on the information provided, the federal court doesn't have subject matter jurisdiction over the worker's claim against the owner-operator of the crane.

The reason for this is because the court does not have supplemental jurisdiction over the worker's claim against the owner-operator of the crane.

It should be noted that supplemental jurisdiction can't be used in the overriding of the requirements of the diversity jurisdiction.

Both countries have some social problems and excluded groups for which the standard of living is low; and there is a lot of income inequality which leaves many people in desperate situations.

Yet, U.S and Canada have for example longer life expectancy than Mexico and Greenland.
