From the Paper " The researcher's proposed topic is the mobility of women into middle management. With the advent of women into management posi-tions in the early 1970s, it is important to study the progress that women have made in the corporate structure. While many com-panies give lip service to the notion that women have an equal chance to succeed in middle management, the success or failure of equal opportunity in the corporation can be measured statistically with respect to geographical regions, minority advancement, and management categories. This research will attempt to give an over-all viewpoint of the status of women, including minority women in management, taking into consideration the studies that have been made and the problems women in business need to resolve."
From the Paper "Normal physiological control and good health are considered as essential in altering the progression of diabetes. Thus, the development in diabetic patients of effective self.care behavior is required, if the progression of the disease is to be controlled outside of an hospital environment. The development of effective self.care behavior in diabetic patients requires both education and support.
The answers to two questions will be sought through the conduct of the proposed study. These two questions are as follows:
1. Does the development through the framework of Orem's self.care nursing model of self.care behaviors in diabetic (...)"
From the Paper "The history of nursing in the United States and around the world has been a search for professionalism. The search has grown out of the need to provide quality health care to patients, that is, provide them with care which meets their physical, behavioral, as well as mental needs. The nurse, therefore, functions as an instrument; how to best perform this duty is
the subject of debate. The debate is based on assumptions about human motivation and learning. The purpose of this study is to compare the relative effectiveness of primary nursing care versus team nursing care on surgical patients.
Team nursing was first introduced after WWII to accommodate the increasing demand for health care supplied by an increase in auxiliary nursing staff and a scarcity of registered nurses. Team nursing is defined as a group of auxiliary nursing staff, (...)"

At-risk students are typically defined as students who, due to a wide range of personal familial, social, and/or academic circumstances, are likely to leave school prior to their high school graduation. According to a 1983 report issued by the National Commission on Excellence in Education, at-risk students may be identified by one or more of the several factors which operate to put them at risk. The most major of these factors include: (1) academic performance that is two or more years behind grade level; (2) California Achievement Test scores which are below the 25th percentile; (3) nonpromotion to higher grades; ...

The finding that amount of training and length of experience with the elderly contributed to a greater degree of success in work with the elderly, supports the notion that education is a pivotal component of caring for the elderly; a ...

From the Paper "... report that student achievement is undoubtedly influenced by sound nutrition; that is, when sixth-grade students practice sound nutrition (i.e., eating on a routine basis, consisting of three meals per day, from the four food groups), they tend to have increased academic performance.
... report that numerous students, including those in the sixth-grade, forego the practice of sound nutrition for a variety of reasons, with attendant decline in academic performance. While estimates vary, it is thought that at least 3 million sixth-grade students forego a nutritious breakfast at least three times per week. The lack ... "

From the Paper "Sexual Harassment and Sexual Revictimization
Background to the Study
Over the last two decades, research studies have documented significant rates of child sexual abuse among both female and male children. Estimates for female children under the age of 18 who have experienced at least one incident of abuse ranges from 1 in 4 to 1 in 2.5 among nonclinical samples (Kohn, 1987; Wyatt, 1985). Estimates for male children are approximately 1 in 8.
There are a number of effects that have been associated with childhood sexual abuse, including psychological, sexual, and interpersonal difficulties (Briere, 1992). One additional problem that has been associated with early abuse is sexual..."

The first subproblem. The first subproblem is to determine the effect, if any, that the size of the automobile (subcompact, compact, and so forth) has on the relative effectiveness of the combined use of air bags and seat belts in enhancing automobile drive..."
The motivation of reading proves problematic to elementary school students, particularly those who are slow readers, despite the myriad studies and articles published on this topic. There exist numerous ways in which students can be motivated to read, not all of which are successful all of the time.
Sindelar (1987) reports that there are several strategies that teachers can utilize to increase student motivation to read and their consequent comprehension of the subject matter. The first strategy entails the teacher's efforts to increase student fluency, which has been found to be positively related to reading comprehension. While the instructional program must not totally focus on fluency, it is integral to the development of reading comprehension. The second strategy is that the teacher using a ..."

From the Paper "Data Collection: Survey, Interview and Tabulation/Analysis
This research provides an in.depth review of selected aspects of the data collection process used in the conduct of research studies. The aspects of the data collection process reviewed are (1) the survey method, (2) the interview method, (3) questionnaire development, and (4) the tabulation/analysis of data collected through the application of the survey and interview methods.
The Survey Method
Objective and descriptive data from subjects are required in the conduct of many types of research studies. The use of surveys to collect such data is probably the most efficient of the various means available (Dyer, 1985, p. 24). The survey is also the most effective means of collecting objective data from..."
From the Paper "The Effect on Graduation Rates of FreshmanAlcohol Consumption: A Research Proposal
Research Problem
Graduation rates for incoming freshmen students are quite low across institutions. This attrition has been attributed to a variety of factors ranging from poor preparation by the student to insufficient application on the part of the student to an inability of the student to adjust to a new social environment to overt discrimination by institutions to a long list of additional factors. It is also known that the consumption of alcohol among college students remains relatively high (Meilman, 1990, pp. 389395). It is further known that alcohol abuse may be manifested in decreased cognitive performance, loss of control, serious social problems and..."
According to Abadinsky (1989), chemical dependency/substance abuse accounts for approximately 18 percent of health-care costs in America. The hospital environment is not immune to this problem. Lewy (1991) reports that most large hospitals either have or are planning chemical dependence treatment programs for their employees. The project proposed here is the development of a program aimed at identifying and treating nurses who are chemically dependent. The program will be implemented in a psychiatric hospital setting.
Overview of the Problem
The existing research on chemical dependency in nurse populations is relatively sparse. Hutchinson (1986) has utilized interviews and participant observation to investigate the..."
