Abstract
The assignment in this paper called for a critique of a current nursing research article. The article chosen for review deals with the impact of nurse staffing on patient outcomes. The research is not an experimental investigation, rather a historical accounting of problems in nurse staffing and patient outcomes. The article was reviewed from the standpoint of clarity, topic timeliness, structure, and research/professional importance.

From the Paper
"Reasonably critiquing a research endeavor is a task that must be taken perfunctorily in approach. Although it is quite easy to have an opinion of another's research it is something quite different to be able to evaluate the research activity in terms of topic specificity and soundness, intent or purpose, data analysis, and informational importance. When mounting a critical analysis of another's work the reviewer must adhere to the basic principle of prudent evaluation; namely, evaluating the structure of the research upon which the scientific conclusion is drawn."

Abstract
This paper is an article review of a scholarly piece that investigates collective action in the city of Hamilton, Ontario, vis-a-vis air pollution levels. The review essay begins by looking at the broad findings of the study under investigation as a means of offering a broad summary/overview of the article; the paper also looks at how the authors of the study appear to accept without much criticism a term that is hotly-contested in the literature and which is perceived in some circles as being opaque and amorphous.

Abstract
This paper critiques a scientific article on using chromatography for identifying the origins of drugs, using methamphetamine as the example. The paper shows how the article also has implications for criminal justice.

From the Paper
"In the article "Comparison and classification of methamphetamine seized in Japan and Thailand using gas chromatography with liquid-liquid extraction and solid-phase microextraction", the authors present the thesis that profiling the impurities found in seized methamphetamine can enable forensics specialists to identify the routes along which drug trafficking is conducted, the sources of supply and any relationships that exist between seizures. (Kuwayama) The authors explain that since different countries tend to have different forms of illicit methamphetamine with Japan's attaining a purity of ..."

Abstract
This paper offers a critique of the article "Impact of Dressing Materials on Central Venous Catheter Infection Rates." The writer discusses research into the use of such dressings at one medical facility, based on records covering several years. Further the writer examines the use of three different dressings over that time. In this article, the writer also looks at the way the report is written, how the research was conducted, how valid it may be and similar issues.

From the Paper
"Based on the fact that transparent, semipermeable, polyurethane dressings are widely accepted for dressing central venous catheter (CVC) insertion sites today, it is noted that there have been differing results with this method, meaning differences in their association with microbial growth under the dressing and with the risk of subsequent CVC-associated infection. This is the problem, and the purpose of this study is to report on the positive experience of the authors in terms of the impact of a highly permeable transparent dressing on CVC-associated infection among patients at their facility."
