Abstract
This paper explains that digital radiology applications of picture archiving communications systems (PACS) provide improved workflow and faster turnaround times by virtue of instant display of images thereby facilitating immediate diagnosis. The author points out that radiology information systems and picture archive communication systems provide a radical departure from the traditional current film and chemical imaging applications by meeting significant and unfulfilled needs for instant imaging and quick diagnosis both in the field and in the clinic. The paper relates that while these technologies were relatively expensive just a few years ago, their cost has dropped to the point where virtually all clinicians who feel their patients can benefit from them can afford to integrate them into their diagnostic regimen.

From the Paper
"The authors report that observations of the radiologists in the clinical environment showed that they relied predominantly on interpretation of images from PACS to render their conclusions, with only occasional RIS terminal use and even less frequent HIS access. The principal explanation for this behavior most likely relates to the inconvenience of accessing such data: Three different computers are required to access three separate clinical systems (ie, PACS, RIS, HIS). The Internet was not used by attending radiologists to search for external medical evidence; instead, they relied on their training and experience to reach conclusions; however, residents frequently used the Internet and reference textbooks as a source of external information while they waited for the attending radiologist's review."

Abstract
The following paper will describe the startling similarities - and a few differences - between the architectural features of the National Archives in Washington, DC, and the Corinthian tradition of Ancient Greece. Specifically, the paper emphasizes the slender, fluted columns or shafts of the Archives as well as the ornate, leafed capitals at the top of each of those shafts. Other commonalities between the Archives and the Corinthian tradition - and some differences - are also featured in the paper.

Abstract
The paper relates that the state of archives during and after the Kosovo War was an issue of much uncertainty and concern at the end of the 20th century, for it was feared that archive infrastructure and archival material in Kosovo may have suffered significant damage after a decade of tumult in the Balkans and the 1999 war between NATO and Serbia. The paper explains that this uncertainty and concern led to an international effort being organized in 1999 to ascertain the condition of archive buildings, offices, archival material, and libraries in Kosovo.

Abstract
This paper is a critical review of three articles regarding the application of postmodern theory to the study of archives and archival work. The articles analyzed are Cook's "Fashionable Nonsense or Professional Rebirth: Postmodernism and the Practice of Archives", Greene's "The Power of Meaning: The Archival Mission in the Postmodern Age" and Nesmith's "Seeing Archives: Postmodernism and the Changing Intellectual Place of Archives."

From the Paper
"Critical Review: Cook's "Fashionable Nonsense or Professional Rebirth," Nesmith's "Seeing Archives," and Greene's "The Power of Meaning" Within academia, to say nothing of the larger public sphere, there is a controversy at play over how postmodernism should be characterized and conceptualized. For some, postmodernism does not exist. In those minds, postmodernism is a nonsensical academic label that does not mean anything in a substantial way. Many see postmodernism as nothing more than academic doublespeak. Others feel that postmodernism is a mislabeled derivation of other historical movements, such as modernism. These critics argue that instead of considering postmodernism to be a category unto itself, we should think of it simply as the extension of existing historical and cultural trends. However, some--and they tend to be a vocal, if disenchanted group--argue that postmodernism is a very real moment in history, one that can be best understood by its extreme superficiality."

Abstract
The paper examines Shannon McSheffrey's article "Feature Questions of Evidence, Detective Fiction in the Archives: Court Records and the Uses of Law in Late Medieval England" that shows how late medieval Londoners used the legal system to their advantage and how using archives as historical agents can change the way historians interpret the past. The paper demonstrates how McSheffrey's article has brought an obscure divorce court case to life with exhaustive research. The paper posits that McSheffrey's arguments are well founded and supported by the records she uncovered, making the history of late medieval London interesting.

From the Paper
"England in the Late Medieval period was a time of great social and political change, which many historians believe marked the beginning of modern English history. The Kings of this period were some of the more well known; Henry V, Henry VI, Edward IV, and Richard III. It was a period of many conflicts, both in England and across the channel. Henry V restarted the Hundred Years War with France in 1415 to reclaim England's lost territories in the region, and to take the French crown; he spent the rest of his life in fighting in France and died from dysentery. His son, Henry VI, ascended the throne when he was 9 months old, a Council governed until his maturity, however, he proved to be a weak King and his reign marked the decline of the monarchy. During Henry VI's reign, civil war broke out amongst factions of noblemen seeking power in the court, and was called the War of the Roses."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that as a whole, literature indicates that although most sexual abusers are male, child sexual abuse by women does occur, and it is probably less rare than once believed. The writer points out that research differs about just how frequently women sexually abuse children, what type of women are involved in the sexual abuse of children and under what circumstances women sexually abuse children. This archival comparison study answers the questions of who these females are, as well as the similarities and differences they share with their male counterparts. Quantitative measures are used to compare the psychological characteristics of male and female sex offenders using the results of the standardized testing instruments. The writer explains that the results of this study can be used to better understand the characteristics of female child molesters, as well as to recommend a course of treatment. The writer concludes that studies show that there is a need for more research on female child molesters as they often go unreported, or unnoticed, and considered not to be as important as their male counterparts.

From the Paper
"In recognition of the complexity of the factors that culminate in a sexually abusive act, most treatment programs rely on eclectic approaches delivered in individual and group formats. Components typically include relapse prevention analysis, psycho-pharmacological therapy, social skills training, development of empathy and moral reasoning skills, raising awareness of the cognitive distortions that support offending, chemical abuse education, and family therapy. Despite the wide array of agendas, the career or work related problems of sex offenders are routinely overshadowed by other considerations, and career interventions tend to be overlooked. For instance, that sex offenders may have difficulty obtaining a job because of stigma is a serious social problem that might cause them to re-offend or to offend in other ways because of economic pressure and hardship, but this issue tends to fall behind the importance of other issues in intervention."

Abstract
This paper aims to analyze the Pueblo revolt of 1680 in New Mexico through an analysis of two scholarly secondary sources from David Weber's book, "What Caused the Pueblo Revolt of 1680?," and two primary sources found in internet history archives. After briefly outlining the studies' central conclusions and divergences, the writer probes the primary sources and applies them to the findings. The central argument made in the essay is as following: that the distant revolt was triggered by both economic hardship and millenarian expectations.

From the Paper
"In "What Caused the Pueblo Revolt of 1680?," David Weber offers a wide array of scholarly approaches to this historically distant indigenous uprising. Two of the essays presented in his study, those authored by Henry Bowden and Ramon Gutierrez, attempt to grapple with the religious flavor of the revolt, and their conclusions vary significantly. It is the purpose of this essay, then, to use these two studies as a launching pad with which one can attain an understanding of the conflict's religious orientation."

Abstract
In the CBC Digital Archives collection entitled "Hippie Society: The Youth Rebellion" we can see how the Canadian media - in the form of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation - represented the counterculture youth movement of the 1960s from a Canadian perspective. This essay will examine the Canadian counterculture of the period using these video and audio clips as primary historical sources, with a range of secondary sources being deployed to critically interrogate both the "lens" - the perspective - of these primary sources, as well as their content. The thesis will be argued that the English Canadian counterculture of the 1960s was a complex generational rebellion that - in terms of its representation in the mass media - functioned as part of a hegemonic process by which the dominant culture reshaped itself against an acceptable subculture, while downplaying more challenging subversive forces. As will be seen, these primary historical sources exist as both fascinating windows into an historical periods as well as examples of the process by which a dominant culture and ideology attempts to retain dominance through a dynamic tension with countercultural ideologies.
