Abstract
This paper examines the different ways children with mild disabilities such as mild mental retardation, learning disabilities and emotional behavioral disorders are being integrated into the general education classroom. This integration program is known as inclusive education. It discusses the attitudes and views of teachers via findings published in
articles about four separate inclusive studies. Each study was conducted with different participants and in different manners with varying contexts. It looks at how the articles present insight into the dispositions and viewpoints of elementary and secondary educational instructors who had training and experience backgrounds in general and special education.
From the Paper
"A common acronym for the Instructional Design Development Cycle is
ADDIE. This acronym stands for: Analysis, Design. Development,
Implementation, Evaluation. Of these five activities, Analysis is the most
time-consuming of all. This phase requires instructional designers to
identify and analyze the goals of the educational project in order to
examine the types of skills required of the online audience in order to
participate in the web course. So designers must take a detailed look at
both the tasks that will require training and at the learners who will need to be trained in order to participate fully in the course."

Historiography - Oral History, 2002.
This paper describes the role of oral sources in accurately recording history.
780 words (approx. 3.1 pages), 4 sources, $ 27.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper begins with a comprehensive definition of oral history (archival tapes). It looks at the importance of interview techniques and of a knowledge of the era in question. The establishment of the credibility of the source is dealt with, as is the investigation of personal biases. The verification of the course of events is raised and the place and use of oral history records amongst other historical sources is discussed.
From the Paper
"Recording history with accuracy is a task and responsibility that has daunted man forever. Too often, history committed to text is the product of biases, hearsay and cultural mythology. The outcome is a canon of ideals and impressions based on a potentially convoluted version of the past. These discrepancies make it difficult to appreciate history as anything more than folk legend. Using oral histories to convey ideas and information is particularly useful in avoiding many of these snares."

Abstract
This paper presents the literature review and a formal research proposal for a study to determine if a Corrective Thinking Program in the Community Correctional Center positively affects behavior, education, life style and recidivism rates in inmates who undertake this training for six months. This paper examines a new model, Corrective Thinking Curriculum, being tested to help inmates at one correctional center break down their destructive ways of behaving. This paper discusses that the central tenet of this model is classical conditioning models of learning.

From the Paper
"Correction center officials are often reluctant to allow inmates any discretion; while this is understandable on many levels, it also is, in general, counterproductive at least with the majority of inmates. If inmates are never given the chance to receive positive reinforcement for their behavior, it is unlikely, in the extreme, that their behavior will change before they are released. The Corrective Thinking Curriculum is designed to change this self-defeating cycle."

Marijuana, 2002.
An insight into the drug marijuana and a discussion of whether recreational marijuana use is no more dangerous than smoking cigarettes.

Abstract
This paper examines the drug marijuana, generally disapproved of for causing lethargy and memory loss, which shares tobacco?s propensity for causing lung cancer and it is widely and safely used by a significant percentage of America?s population. It provides a history of the drug use in America and the fight against it over the years as well as its legality throughout the country. It analyses the dangers of smoking marijuana through various literature reviews and studies. It puts forward a research design to measure the hypothesis that recreational marijuana use is no more dangerous than smoking cigarettes in quantities that constitute normal use among Americans by looking at both American and Dutch populations.
From the Paper
"The amount of money the United States spends ?fighting? drug use every year is in the range of 35-40 billion dollars, equal to the annual budget of Russia. This herculean effort has met with little success; the Economist article reports that almost a third of Americans over 12 years of age admit to having tried drugs at some point, while over 26 million admit to having used drugs within the past year. Three fourths of all drug users in the United States are marijuana smokers."

Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of senior residences and care options. The writer explores several choices for the care of senior citizens and discusses the positive and negative aspects of each one. The paper includes statistics about the age and percentages of elderly people in society. In addition, the writer presents a literature review on studies and other published works regarding the issue. The literature establishes that long term residential acute care and living assisted care, place a financial burden on the families and the government. The writer concludes by arguing that it is necessary to re-evaluate and revamp the residential and care facilities currently available.
From the Paper
"Over the past fifty years advances in medical science have allowed people to live longer than ever before. The average lifespan is expanding, as is the quality of life for those who reach the golden years. There are many contributing factors to the needs of the elderly with a primary focus on residential care. Senior citizens often find themselves in need of residential care, whether that care is full service, or assisted living. The nation?s care options have been scrutinized for years and some shocking results have come out of the studies"

Qualitative Research Methodologies, 2002.
This paper discusses qualitative research methodologies and analyzes their uses in a specific research project.
594 words (approx. 2.4 pages), 1 source, APA, $ 21.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper describes the four basic approaches of qualitative research: Ethnographic Studies, Phenomenology, Field Research and Grounded Theory. The paper identifies three approaches, Phenomenology, Field Research and Grounded Theory, that were used to guide the collection of data necessary to identify the factors that make a home visit more effective in helping the patient cope with cancer. The paper describes the qualitative semi-structure interviews used in gathering the data and the analytic methods that include open, axial and selective coding.
From the Paper
"In the analysis process, the main strategy employed is the coding method. Open coding was used to identify the concepts of the phenomenon, which were then grouped into categories. More specific open coding is evident in the content of the semi-structured interviews, such as the benefits of home visits, confidentiality issues, issues to be taken up during home visits and ?patients? reasons for participating in this type of home intervention.?

"As early as 1962, induction programs that provided assistance to beginning teachers were being described. Mentoring in a business setting is described as being very desirable and conducive to interaction among the prot?g?? and the established workers. Medicine has long had a system of mentoring in place which is called residency. Whether nor not the condition of this process is optimal depends upon to whom you speak. Senior staff doctors would probably say yes; an intern who has not slept in 30 hours might not agree with them."

Racial Profiling, 2002.
This paper discusses racial profiling, any consideration of race in preparing profiles of suspected wrong-doers, and presents a proposal for a research study.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses from a positive and negative standpoint the use of racial profiling by the police. The author feels that lack of training among the police officials and their inability to practice criminal profiling correctly results in the abusive practice of racial profiling. The author presents a research proposal for a study which asks: Why and how many innocent and peaceful citizens were unjustifiably arrested just because they belonged to a specific minority group?
From the Paper
"It is interesting to note that some of the social experts favor the practice of racial profiling, claiming that the racially biased policing efforts are helpful in identifying the criminals, as they work in the form of groups belonging to same ethnic or racial group. They argue that the arrests and searches of individuals from a specific ethnic group or race are due to their own inappropriate behaviors. They totally reject the notion that racial profiling is another form of racial discrimination by the law enforcement officials. According to them, it is one of the most effective tools to identify the criminals and it has proved its effectiveness in the past."

From the Paper
"If a child goes to school and destroys the classroom, what would the child learn from the parent paying for the damage? The problem is that often the laws are adding to the problems that children have. Parents cannot spank their children or do other physical actions to control their actions. Often the parents talk to the teacher about the behavioral problems that they are having at home. ?Headteachers spent considerable amount of time providing advice and support on behavior management to parents who were experiencing major problems in controlling their children?s behavior. When pupils? behavior in school was disruptive and unacceptable, headteachers explained to the parents the school?s response to this behavior and sought to work co-operatively with them to effect improvement?

Abstract
This paper outlines a research proposal for a study to analyze the efficacy of home visits for colorectal cancer patients, as well as determine the best method for approaching home health visits for such patients. Together with supporting literature, it states the objectives of the study, describes the study design, in this case a qualitative interview study and looks at subjects and setting as well as data collection methods. It discusses the data analysis procedures, evaluates its strengths and limitations and debates the implications of the study's findings.
From the Paper
"The majority of subjects were interviewed in their home, which seems appropriate because the study revolves around patient care in the home, and the benefits and comforts attributed to being in the home as a personal place as opposed to being in a hospital or other formal and unfamiliar territory. It might be said that the subjects were influenced by the comfortable setting of their home to overly associate good benefits with home health care, but it might also be argued that home health care would be perceived with the same general good attitude and positive thought and emotional process.

PEG Tubes vs. NGT Feeding Systems, 2002.
An analysis of the effects of swallowing difficulty and speech difficulty on the quality of life in patients with PEG or NGT tubes.
1,784 words (approx. 7.1 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 57.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses a research which measures the effects of having a PEG tube (as opposed to NGT) inserted, on the patient?s quality of life as it relates to their ability to communicate and swallow. Two research questions are answered in this paper: ?Does a PEG procedure have an effect on the patient?s ability to communicate their wishes and improve there satisfaction with the quality of their life in regards to self-care?? and ?Does the PEG method offer more satisfaction in regards to quality of life than the NGT method?? The paper illustrates the importance of taking the individual patient's feelings, concerns and wishes into account and not just focusing on the clinical side of things.
From the Paper
"There are two primary methods for administering food to patients who can no longer swallow or have difficulty swallowing. The first is by way of an NGT tube, which is inserted through the nasal cavity and goes into the stomach. This procedure severely limits the patient?s ability to speak or swallow. The other popular method is PEG where a tube is inserted through an incision in the abdominal wall. In this case a patient?s ability is speak or swallow is not limited by the procedure itself. However, in stroke patients this ability may already be impaired. Many of us consider the ability to communicate our own wishes and enjoy conversation with other human beings a factor in determining our quality of life. Being unable to communicate with another creates a feeling of isolation or helplessness."

Examining the Validity of Repressed Memories, 2002.
A paper which explores the role of gender in suggestibility and memory elaboration.
3,228 words (approx. 12.9 pages), 18 sources, APA, $ 93.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The repressed memory controversy has spawned numerous debates in a variety of fields, from clinical psychology to legal studies, from the utility of repressed memory testimony in the courtroom to the nature of memory storage and recall. This paper reviews the research literature around the concept of repressed memories and proposes that, despite its emerging salience as a factor, one area not elaborately researched is the role of gender in repressed memories. The paper proposes an experiment designed to test whether gender may affect the creation of false memories in undergraduates and postulates an outcome based on the hypothesis that the social acceptability of a suggested memory increases how readily participants assimilate new memories (and this can be correlated with gender socialization). The experiment's goal is to work toward understanding the role of gender in the occurrence of repressed memories.
From the Paper
"Given the predominance of repressed memory in females, the problem begs the question: does gender affect cognition? The full answer to that question is complex beyond the scope of this paper, but the general summary is that the evidence is inconclusive. From the popular view, it is generally believed that females are better at certain tasks such as facial recognition, color recollection, emotional recognition, and verbal memory; while males are better at tasks such as visuospatial reasoning, chronology, and number memory. At the same time, despite these persistent stereotypes, the evidence to support them is not conclusive (c.f. Caplan, 1997; Halpern 1986). We can say that there is some evidence indicating females may be more suggestible than males (McFarlane, 2002), which might account in part for of the difference in repressed memory, given that a predominance of clients are in therapy (under the influence of a therapist) at the time of the recovery (Freyd, 1999)."

Impact of Divorce on Children
Conclusions, Summary and Recommendations
From the Paper
"This research paper has also made clear the impact of divorce on children. It seems evident that in many cases divorce dramatically changes the way a child perceives the world and themselves. It is vital that married couples understand the impact that a divorce will have on a child and that they do everything their power to ensure that the marriage can not be salvaged. Sometimes there are times when marriage gets rough and couples must decide to stick it out when the going gets rough. This can also be a valuable lesson for children because it teaches them not to quit just because something is difficult to endure."

Pressure Ulcer Incidence, 2002.

1,680 words (approx. 6.7 pages), 1320 sources, MLA, $ 54.95

Abstract
This paper investigates pressure ulcers, also known as bed sores that are formed where skin and tissue are squeezed between bone and an outside surface for long periods of time, often due to immobility. It proposes scientific research aimed at discovering the development and underlying reasons that the illness is so common amongst elderly long term care patients.
From the Paper
"Because PUs are so common, cause distress to the patient and their family, and can form the basis for litigation, it is important for the long-term medical care community to find ways to reduce their prevalence and incidence. Two commonly suggested solutions to the PU problem include identifying patients at risk using risk assessment methods and initiating preventive measures (Ayello & Braden, 2002). In order for long term care staff to identify patients at risk they must be educated in assessment of the risk for developing PUs. One risk assessment method used in this area is the Braden Scale, developed in 1987 by Drs. Barbara Braden and Nancy Bergstrom. The scale attempts to identify risk factors that increase the chance that patients will develop PUs in the future and assigns a numeric value to the risk for any particular patient (Bergstrom, Braden, Laguzza, & Holman, 1987)."

APPENIDX 1. Employee Survey
From the Paper
"The management structure at XYZ, Inc. consists of six levels of management with varying amounts of responsibility within the company. On average each manager has three to six people reporting into them and has to do performance reviews every six months for each person. In return, each employee would give feedback about their past months' development plan, how well it was managed, as well as their scalar's management style. This two way feed back in the hallmark of success at XYZ, Inc. It institutes the principle of Total Quality Management (TQM). Two way feedback has had the effect of maintaining a high level of Quality and job satisfaction at XZY, Inc. In recent year-and-a half employee feedback has been more negative than in the past with a ratio of 3,2:1. This increased ratio is of great concern to the Personnel Department, which advocates the policy of mutuality in business relationships. "

Abstract
The paper begins by explaining the claim that pessimistic perception of problems induces stress and, that if a cancer patient is optimistic, s/he has a better chance of survival. The hypothesis that optimism can benefit cancer patients is stated and the method of study (use of sociological references and studies) is discussed. Some background of the psychological and biological workings and effects of stress is given and the relationship between cancer and stress is investigated. The results of the study are revealed and explained. The paper concludes by summing up the findings of the study and by listing the advantages and disadvantages of the method of study.

From the Paper
"An increasing amount of research links negative and positive emotional states to wellness or ill health. The negative or pessimistic emotions seem to have a negative effect on the immune system and on general health. Pessimism has been shown to be unhealthy and have adverse effects on health, including increasing the risk of cancer and preventing recovery from the disease. On the other hand, positive or optimistic emotions have been shown to strengthen immune function and bring good health. (Gillman, 1989)"

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to study employee and customer?s reaction to Lufthansa Airline?s new service concept, based on its newly adopted cost reduction measures in order to remain competitive after the events of September 11 2001. This paper defines a problem statement and study design detailing such topics as the proposed literature review and the population, sample and sampling procedure.
From the Paper
"This study is of considerable significance for Lufthansa Airlines as it will help the organization redefine its business strategy in order to improve its corporate image and to compete effectively in existing tight market situations. The study will help the company in identifying the factors that directly affect customer?s satisfaction and thus will facilitate in providing better quality service in future. As the current market conditions are not much favorable for the airline industry, especially in the US market, which itself is a major segment, airlines are required to keep an edge over their competitors. Therefore, it is necessary for Lufthansa to identify the reasons for dissatisfaction of customers as well as the crew members and to develop strategies to remove this discrepancy in its service. In this way it will successfully maintain its image, which it has developed over years and will ensure its long term success and profitability."

Violence in Boys, 2002.
A research study that claims that boys rejected by their peers will become aggressive.
4,325 words (approx. 17.3 pages), 11 sources, MLA, $ 114.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper is based on the hypothesis that teenage males who are socially excluded in schools become more aggressive toward individuals and may become bullies. This paper provides a thorough study into this hypothesis using a literature review, methodology, questionnaire and measures to validate the argument. Statistics are also provided and examined. The limitations of the study are presented along with its findings.
From the Paper
"Ricky was a student that suffered with asthma. Often he had to use his inhaler to be able to breathe. Ricky was tormented by a group of male bullies. This group of boys who were continually would take his inhaler medication from him to play with it by spraying classmates or themselves. They essentially wasted the inhaler that was vital for Ricky. This went on until one cold day in December 1994. Ricky was found dead at school. He died of an asthma attack. His inhaler was found empty (Noll 2000). In the past research has shown a correlation between problems in the home and aggression in the adolescent. However, it has been overlooked that many children are daily abused by verbal and physical acts of violence in the schools. ?Between 1979 and 1991, nearly 50,000 American children were killed by guns?more than the number of Americans killed in Vietnam in 25 years? (Webber 1997). Research shows that boys who are bullied during the elementary school years may become aggressive during the middle school or high school years. The number of violent acts in schools is continuing to grow. It is important to recognize why students are becoming more violent and to take measures in preventing these acts of violence. ?Few schools take the necessary steps to screen routinely for students displaying risk for these behaviors, and interventions, when implemented are often less than effective? (Acker and Talbott 1999). More research should be done considering this topic to prevent further school violence."

Pain Control, 2002.
This paper explores three models of conceptual nursing in order to assess the extent and manner in which pain can be controlled.
4,400 words (approx. 17.6 pages), 12 sources, MLA, $ 115.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper critically analyzes pain as a clinical-related practical concern and explores possible approaches to this concern utilizing three popular conceptual models of nursing: (a) Neuman?s System Model; (b) The Roy Adaptation Model; and (c) Orem?s Self-Care Framework. Each model is gauged in terms of its worthiness for possible application toward the nursing concept, pain. In order to achieve this end, the JCAPHO Pain Management Standards (a standard for quality pain management) will be used to test each conceptual model.
From the Paper
"Pain is a global-wide enigma that surpasses all social, socio-economic and cultural lines. Poorly treated pain is a huge concern for millions of Americans and people of other nationalities as well. Pain is an unpleasant sensitivity and emotional response to that sensitivity. The Nuprin Pain Report found that 4 billion work days are lost each year as a direct result of pain related issues resulting in huge financial losses to the economy--an estimated $79 billion per year. Thereby, consequences of the failure to adequately treat patients who suffer from pain by health care providers are measureless and constitutes the biggest problems nurse practitioners face today (R. Sternbach, 1986)"
