Abstract
This paper details environmental awareness management. Three companies are examined via surveys, one-on-one interviews, a focus group, and records searches to further elucidate the character of environmental awareness among managers and regular employees. The paper discusses how findings are clear, showing that employees were environmentally aware and that both managers and companies were definitively engaged in environmental foci. The paper notes that results and secondary research references were utilized in an analysis with recommendations thereof which suggest that education, training, technology, and government leadership are requisite to further awareness building and the success of environmental strategies. The conclusion of the paper is that these efforts would only come about with a collective social will to achieve the desired objectives.

Abstract
The paper argues that social workers need to adhere to the principle of responsibility for self-awareness. The paper explains that self-awareness involves recognition of the social worker's personal feelings. The paper discusses how there are many situations which social workers encounter where strong feelings will be involved; such feelings are to be expected and are natural reactions to very disturbing behavior. At the same time, the paper emphasizes that it is essential that the social worker should not act based on those feelings.

Abstract
The paper relates that the results of the ethics awareness inventory analysis indicate that there is a tendency to focus on people's actions based upon obligations and what is morally right. The inventory also indicates that this moral behavior is more important that the results that are desired or achieved. Additionally, the paper notes that according to the inventory, the philosophy related to ethics that is identified with to the greatest degree is deontological theory supported by Immanuel Kant and John Rawls. The paper explains that the strongest issue associated with ethical thinking that is connected to this philosophy is that individuals are rigid in their thinking and have a difficult time accepting behaviors that are not ethically sound, regardless of the organizational goals that must be met. The paper further explains that according to the inventory, when this type of conflict occurs, the individual has a difficult time functioning within the organization and this may lead to adverse outcomes in the workplace. The paper notes that this type of ethical thinking has evolved over the course of time in relation to the world and a consistently declining attitude toward humanity in decision-making.

From the Paper
"Some refer to the process of measuring awareness as an information audit (Dobson, 2001). This audit determines where information comes from in an organization, where it goes, how it is used, who manages and shares it and who may process information (Dobson, 2001). An information awareness or audit should be customized to an organization and focus on "awareness, relevance, usability and unmet needs" with respect to business information systems (Dobson, 2001). An organization may also need to assess how information moves within the organization (Dobson, 2001)."

Abstract
This paper discusses phonological awareness. It looks at what phonological awareness is, how it is formed, and what to do if deficits are shown. The problems that occur when there are deficits in phonological awareness are also discussed and ideas for intervention are provided.

From the Paper
"Since phonological awareness develops over time, children must be given adequate support to enhance the skill that they are learning at a given time. This is not to say that children can only gain knowledge of one aspect of phonological awareness at a time, but only that skills should be fostered as they develop instead of just pushing the child immediately on to the next skill. Phonological awareness should not be expected to adhere to a strict stage theory of development; "children refine phonological awareness skills they have acquired while they are learning new phonological skills" (Anthony & Francis, 2005, p. 256)."

Abstract
The paper relates how the Yopp-Singer Test of Phonemic Segmentation was used on a kindergarten class and 30% of this group (6 students) were found lacking sufficient phonemic awareness skills. The paper describes how reading and phonemic exercises were helpful to these students in achieving pre-reading phonemic awareness skills. The paper concludes with the research on this topic. The Yopp-Singer Test of Phonemic Segmentation is included as an appendix to the paper.

From the Paper
"The concerns noted stem from both classroom experience and research. Early observation through informal means displayed that many of the students in this Kindergarten class lack phonemic awareness. To test this informal theory the Yopp-Singer Test of Phonemic Segmentation was used and results reflected that a full 30% of this group of kindergarten students are lacking sufficient phonemic awareness skills in order to perform phonemic segmentation and phonemic manipulation. These emergent students lack the skills needed to enter the independent reading stage. At this point in the academic year, all kindergarten students should be able to segment and manipulate phonemes in order to become independent readers."

Abstract
In this article, the writer points out that cases like those of Terri Shiavo and Robert Kenneth Durksen put the moral quandaries regarding comatose victims to the forefront of the public's mind. The writer notes that only by fully understanding the condition, and answering questions such as whether or not there is awareness in comatose patients, can the public make informed decisions, when sensitive situations occur. This paper provides an overview of the comatose condition, followed by a review of literature regarding awareness in comatose patients. The writer then presents conclusions drawn from this information, in hopes of shedding further light on such a delicate topic.

Introduction
Comatose Overview
Literature Review Regarding Comas and Coma Awareness
Analysis of Findings
Conclusion

From the Paper
"The medical term comatose is derived from the Greek word koma, meaning a deep sleep. A comatose patient is in a deep state of unconsciousness that is characterized by the loss of reactivity to external stimuli and absence of spontaneous nervous activity, and cannot be awakened. Coma victims have usually experienced injury or disease of the cerebrum."
"The origin of the injury affects the different patterns of coma. Losses of consciousness for short durations may be caused by concussions, whereas the lack of oxygen, or anoxia, may lead to a coma that lasts for several weeks or is fatal. Sudden loss of consciousness in some patients may be caused by a stroke, which is a rupture or blockage of the vessels that supply blood to the brain."

Abstract
This paper discusses the effects on children's developmental progress when they are given systematic explicit instruction in phonemic awareness. It discusses the ways in which phonological awareness and phonemic awareness, including how to teach and assess them, has made an extremely valuable contribution to understanding how to teach reading to all children, including children with learning disabilities or delays in early reading.

From the Paper
"Other findings reveal that opportunities to play with language result in the development of phonemic awareness (Wasik 2001). In one 1987 study, young children who were knowledgeable about nursery rhymes and who had opportunities to manipulate sound in language also had well-developed phonemic awareness (Wasik 2001). Nursery rhymes are a natural way to expose children to words that sound the same, and research suggests that by learning rhymes, poems, and jingles, children develop awareness of sounds in words (Wasik 2001). Therefore, natural play with language can encourage children to attend to the sounds that words make (Wasik 2001). Research demonstrates that teaching phonemic awareness to 1st and 2nd graders who have had difficulty reading resulted in significant improvements in their ability to read and spell words, thus it is important for adult to create opportunities for children to learn phonemic awareness (Wasik 2001)."
