Conclusion
From the Paper
"A majority of the studies on job satisfaction involved nurses of various ranks and settings. Although these studies do not address the intended sample population directly, they still tell us many factors that consistently affect job satisfaction. Elements, such as leadership styles and qualities were found to affect health care workers in many settings. Problems associated with staff shortages and attrition is not limited to substance abuse workers. These problems were found to represent a pandemic that has struck the health care industry on a global basis."

From the Paper
"On an average, African Americans are 1.8 times more likely to have diabetes than whites of similar age. For every six whites with diabetes, 10 African Americans have diabetes, accompanied with a 27 percent higher mortality rate. Nearly 3.2 million (13.3 %) of all African Americans have been diagnosed with diabetes and suffer from higher rates of serious complications, which include heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, blindness, kidney disease, nervous system disease, amputations, neuropathy, dental disease, and complication of pregnancy. Diabetes, one of the most common and costly health problems, is also among the most preventable diseases."

Abstract
This paper presents reviews of literature discussing emotional intelligence. The paper discusses the relationship between transformational leadership and emotional intelligence, as well as emotional intelligence in gifted adolescent students. It then goes on to analyze the methods used in the studies and to describe the studies' limitations.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Survey Method
Experiment
Conclusion
From the Paper
" In all three studies, the impact of emotional intelligence on an individual's success rate was tested. Whether it was a survey, experiment or assessment used all three tested the same basic elements using different populations and different approaches. Overall it appears that the research supports the belief that emotional intelligence is a factor to consider when studying human nature and drive, however, there may be elements of certain populations (IE gifted) where other factors override therefore de-emphasis the significance of emotional intelligence with regard to success. These three studies are important to the future examination of the topic because they indicate that there may well be variations in the type of person who benefits from having a high emotional intelligence. This will be important to understand for the purpose of career training and educational paths in the future."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The bad news is that while qualitative patient satisfaction surveys represent a low-cost and generally effective and efficient method of collecting a great deal of relevant information in a fairly short period of time, the method has its limitations. For instance, Maruish (2004) reports that the return rates for qualitative patient satisfaction surveys that are mailed to healthcare consumers are typically low, in some cases so low as to limit the representativeness of the data that is received. Furthermore, there is no method available to objectify or validate the patients' perceptions of change due to treatment, particularly because the reported degree of change tends to be overstated; patient satisfaction surveys also provide researchers with scant information related to symptomatic change, and the resulting data is not available to help address problems that may occur during the patient's initial treatment (Maruish, 2004)."

"This lengthy history of controversy has added some fuel to the current fires over which research technique is superior and why, especially during a period in history where so much information has now become available for analysis that was not possible even a few years ago. According to Goodson and Phillimore (2004), "Researchers are beginning to consider important issues concerning the nature of research and knowledge, the role of researchers, the ways in which research questions are determined and the ways in which data are interpreted" (p. 42). Much of this attention has been directed to the application of qualitative techniques in social research settings. "Increasingly," Crowley advises, "courses in educational research, conferences, and professional associations focus on the use of qualitative methods, and a plethora of textbooks, journal articles, and research monographs have been published in recent years" (1994, p. 55)."

"Citizen comments have long since been part of town hall meetings in local government. Citizens attend the local government meeting and sign up to be heard. There is usually a time limit on how long they can speak thereby giving many the opportunities to be heard. The local government usually places a rule where the officials cannot respond or defend they must simply listen to the comments of the citizens and take note."

Abstract
This paper discusses the methodology chosen for this research, one of a qualitative nature. This research is of the type that attempts to understand the views and perceptions in specific situations and uses a method described as phenomenological research in which the question of the research is answered through experientially acquired knowledge. The paper explains that in the phenomenological method of research the researcher has inside knowledge of that being researched and gains knowledge through viewing multiple perspectives of the same situation, which allows the research to make generalizations. It offers methodology, data and data analysis. The paper also includes tables to quantify points made.

"The design of this study is phenomenological and is the proper methodology for study in this type of research. The Phenomenological approach has as its purpose the illumination of the specific and the identification of phenomena "through how they are perceived by the actors in a situation." (Lester, 1999) In the work entitled: "An Introduction to Phenomenological Research" Stan Lester states that phenomenological research: "In the human sphere this normally translates into gathering 'deep' information and perceptions through inductive, qualitative methods such as interviews, discussions and participant observation, and representing it from the perspective of the research participant(s).""

"The significance of this study is that it will allow physicians to become more confident in what tests and tools they order used in the suspicion of breast cancer.
"This not only means a higher survival rate for the patients but it also can mean a reduced financial strain on the insurance companies and the health field in general. Many people who have cancer do not have insurance and this means that the cost of treatment almost always falls to the taxpayers to handle. Early detection provides the ability to use less invasive and fewer lengthy treatment options which in turn mean that it creates a reduced cost to treat."

Abstract
This paper explains that novice nurses cannot come forth with any type of intuitive judgment without first having gained experience but the novice can bring to the clinical situation the years of experience gained in multiple clinical and life situations. The author proposes using a phenomenological interpretive methodology, which is based on the principle of hermeneutics and is of an interpretive qualitative nature. The paper discusses the procedure for using this focus group methodology with paired interviews of novice and expert nurses.

From the Paper
"Through use of this analysis, the competencies required as the individual moves from the stages of novice to expert are easily identified. Benner discovered through listening to expert nurse narratives that the key to their development of expertness was based in their ability to 'experience' nursing, and to integrate this experience into both existing and new knowledge. From this integration of experience and knowledge, new paradigms are developed and available in future 'like' situations."

Abstract
This paper critiques the three basic enquiry methods, described in the paper, which are the simple mode, including inductive consensual and analytic-deductive methods, the complex mode, including the multiple realities method, and the innovative mode, including the unbounded systems thinking (UST) method. The author points out that the rationale behind the PEST analysis is that there must be a fit between the capabilities of the company and the external environment if the company is to survive. The paper uses HP company as the example for analysis and the project of the future.

From the Paper
"By concentrating on the three major business and aligning them with the IS strategy, HP ensures that the needs and requirements of growing technological trends will be met. In addition to the technology factors, the social factors in terms of lay-offs will have to be considered since human resources are always an important factor in IS strategy and design. Further, acquisition of other companies or technology entities to feel the IS niche is a viable option to safeguard their status as a technology leader."

"The educational systems in Egypt and the UK bear some similarities as well as important differences that will be discussed further below. One of the similarities, though, is the manner in which the stages of general education are provided. In Egypt today, there are three stages of state general education: (a) primary (six years), (b) preparatory (three years), and (c) secondary (three years). The primary education is for students between the ages of 6 and 12 years and is compulsory; students who are successful in examinations have the opportunity to continue their education first at the preparatory and then at the secondary level. In this regard, there are two types of secondary school, (a) general and (b) technical; the majority of Egyptian technical schools are either commercial, agricultural, or industrial."

From the Paper
"More data needs to be collected with actual shoppers, and not simply confederates of researchers posing as shoppers. This research hopes to correct that. For the one study found that did study actual shoppers and the level of customer service they received, results may have been skewed as it was the researchers' opinions on whether or not the subject was receiving a specific, subjective level of customer service, as opposed to the subject's personal experience. In addition, this particular study, conducted by Kim and Lennon, focused solely on female customers in a plus-sized clothing store. Although this was done in an effort "to ensure that the body size of the customers was not a factor in how they were treated" ("Well-dressed women", 2006), the results of this research are so specific to plus-sized women and specifically plus-sized clothing retailers that more research needs to be conducted with a broader subject base and product base. Only in this way can a study truly contribute to the basic understanding of human nature, and specifically human interaction and the treatment of others based on visual appearances. "

Abstract
This paper discusses how engineering encounters many surfaces that posses vast quantities of irregularities and application of fundamental theories neither proves practical nor precise in obtaining true representations due to these irregularities. The paper further discusses how there exists a need for accuracy in thermo-physical property data in both industrial applications which demand a reliable method of determining data. According to the paper, this need can be met by the establishment of the optical/thermal scattering facility at the University of Central Oklahoma. The paper then reviews the advantages and disadvantages of this research program.

"This project also plans to augment the radiative heat transfer science behind this experimentation. The Hemispherical Scatterometer will be constructed based on the most widely used methods for solution of the radiative transfer equation (RTE) and the discrete ordinate method (DOM). Despite the fact that there has been a wide construction of similar apparatuses for BRDF determination [4,15,17,18,33-35,40,43-46] there has not been any device that makes use of the quadrature scheme of the DOM to obtain this property. By using the DOM theory, commercial computational fluid dynamic (CFD) software can be easily incorporated to develop new research and/or mathematical models. These involve heat transfer problems to be compared with standard or previous models. Another aspect where the PI's project will certainly have an impact on the community is in the surface and cataloging of pattern recognition of the mentioned surfaces. Many surfaces in engineering, specially the ones dealt in this project will perhaps contain roughness characteristics similar to the ones shown in Figure 4. Even though is a very smooth material (looked through one's eye) theoretical prediction of reflectance or surface properties is not feasible. However, performing cataloging and pattern recognition is a method that will allow us to recognize intrinsic features of materials and provide a deeper knowledge of material's use and extended applicability. At the same time possible complication while using textbook calculations comes from the fact that they take the surface to be an homogeneous material rather than, say, a layered structure without considering subsurface complications or they are too cumbersome to apply. Therefore, the result is that actual measurement of the reflectance function is the best way to determine this radiative property and measure it in such manner that could also be applied to radiation heat transfer solution method or any other industrial application. This is again, where this project takes the lead."

"Today, there is a growing Asian community in Vancouver, and the trend is expected to continue in the future (Hiebert, 1999). While the history of Indo-Canadian settlement in Vancouver can be traced to the late 19th century, the community remained relatively small until the 1960s (Hiebert & Walton-Roberts, 1997). In fact, South Asian immigrants have a long history of settlement in Canada; however, the majority of this community arrived after the criteria for entering Canada were relaxed during the 1960s; in addition, the arrival of significant numbers of Vietnamese immigrants is even more recent, beginning in the mid-1970s (Hiebert, 1999).

Abstract
This paper examines the issues involved in delivering educational services in classrooms with varying levels of student diversity, with a focus on elementary schools in general and on one such school in particular in the State of Mississippi. The author's methodology includes a critical review of the literature followed by an analysis of the available statistical data from the State of Mississippi to discern any differences in academic achievement as reflected by the Mississippi curriculum test results. The paper relates that this research indicates that the United States is becoming an increasingly diverse society as indicated by the demographic composition of classrooms in many regions of the country; however, while the impact of increasing classroom diversity has been the subject of a growing body of research, there remains a paucity of timely studies concerning the impact of a lack of diversity on academic achievement. The paper includes several quotations and a data analysis presented in tables and graphs.

"Unfortunately, though, many public schools today are failing to provide a quality education for many of their students. In fact, young learners from low-income families and those from some minority groups, especially African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, and some Asians, have experienced higher rates of dropping out, retention in grade, and special education placements than other children. In this environment, struggling students can be expected to fall further behind and those students who are high achievers will likely experience frustration with the pace of learning and how it is being presented."

Abstract
This paper explains the many abuses and violent events that occur toward the American Iranian woman in the process of daily living, immigration and assimilation into a foreign society. The author points out, in the literature review, the customs, which Iranian women are conditioned to in terms of their treatment and their validity as knowledgeable and capable human beings. The paper stresses that immigrant women specifically, those of the Muslim culture, undergo much in the way of abuse and injustice not only in their countries of origination but even more so in their immigration to the United States because the laws and regulations of the United States are not structured in a way that provides protection of the rights of women, who are victims of abuse as well as immigrant women with the many complicating factors of Islamic marriage. The paper includes two statistical tables and several long quotations.

"In relation to access to credit, women of color are stated to be as innovative and entrepreneurial as any other group, they face lingering stereotypes and bias that often prevent them from receiving fair and equal access to the bank credit and capital necessary to start up new businesses. In a 1998 study by the National Foundation for Women Business Owners, findings state that less than one-third or 29 percent of women business owners, who are also women of color, surveyed presently have bank credit compared to over one-half or 53% of European American women."

Abstract
This research proposal identifies the known problems with the rating systems and proposes a study that would help determine if the Q-Score reports are misrepresenting the American television viewing public. In this article, the writer discusses whether Marketing Evaluations'
Q-Scores for television ratings accurately represent the television viewing habits of all Americans, including minority groups, or whether the limited population samples and data analysis methods are skewed in such a way that minority populations are underrepresented in ratings and the media. The writer claims that this is an important study because of the integral role that television and the media play in the lives of all Americans, and as a part of American society overall. The writer concludes that if there is a misrepresentation of minority groups in the current Q-ratings reports, this must be identified and this information made available to the public so that all members of society can make an informed decision regarding media-related activities, such as advertising, that are affected by the quality of television ratings reports.

From the Paper
"If a small-scale study finds a significant problem, other researchers will be interested in doing further analysis on this issue.
