Abstract
The paper describes how the study was concerned with nursing rounds that were in fact an intervention for learning. The paper explains that the learning in this case was about the use and frequency of call bells. The paper explains that if learning was successful, then the results would be observed in a reduced use of the call bells.

From the Paper
"The study that is to be critiqued was concerned with nursing rounds that were in fact an intervention for learning. The learning in this case was about the use and frequency of call bells. If learning was successful, then the results would be observed in a reduced use of the call bells. According to Kummeth (2001), nursing grounds provide nurses with an ideal opportunity for patient teaching and leads to greater patient satisfaction. Learning about call bells would help nurses also."

Abstract
The paper relates that "The Bells", a poem by Edgar Allan Poe was written prior to Poe's death, but was not published until after his death in 1849. The paper examines the significance of Poe's style and asserts that while we may not know the reason for the glee he is wishes to convey to us, after reading the subsequent parts of this poem we can see that part I is written with happiness, not sadness.

From the Paper
""The Bells", a poem by Edgar Allen Poe was written prior to Poe's death, but was not published until after his death in 1849. One might consider the significance of Poe's style - here - as describing the moods that the tolling of bells can suggest. He begins the poem - in part I - on a happy and positive note. His depiction - in words - of bells tolling the "world of merriment that their melody foretells!" Poe doesn't tell us what event caused the bells to "tinkle, tinkle, tinkle". Yet, in..."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in Poe's poem, "The Bells," each stanza represents a phase of life, moving from the happy moments at birth and ending with the melancholy moments of death. The author points out that, in the first stanza of the poem, the bells the poet describes are silver bells that deliver a merry melody; in the second stanza, the mellow wedding bells ring in delight, foretelling a "world of happiness." The paper relates that, in the third stanza, the images become darker and less pleasant, sounding like a "tale of terror;" in the fourth stanza, the poet reveals that the bells, transformed from silver and gold to a rusty iron, are tolling.

From the Paper
"This image is one of peace and calm. We can almost see the golden notes floating through the night air with the turtle-dove listening peacefully under the bright moon. The images of the bells swinging, ringing, rhyming, and chiming are positive and filled with energy. Because the poet makes a point of mentioning wedding bells, we can assume that this segment of the poem represents the next stage in life, which is marriage. Because the ringing bells swell and dwell "on the future" (29), we are left with a feeling of hope for the future."

Abstract
The paper sheds light on the central idea of the poem, "The Bells" by Poe. The poem revolves around different phases of human life and connects them to chiming of bells. "The Bells" is considered a near-perfect example of a poetic device called onomatopoeia.

From the Paper
"The Bells" on first reading would appear to be a happy song, which talks about various stages of man's life and the significance of different sounds. But in-depth analysis reveals that this poem is actually more autobiographical in nature and though it does mention the four stages that man goes through, it is by no means a happy song. This brings us to the central idea of the poem. The poem chronicles four stages of man's life with first being the happiest yet shortest and last two being saddest yet longer. Man's childhood is the sunniest time of his life but it lasts for a brief period whereas maturity and near-death moments are saddest and highly undesirable yet they appear to last a very long time. It is important to understand here that keeping in view these thoughts, Poe deliberately gave his first two stanzas fewer lines than the last two. He did not specifically complain about the shortness of childhood or youth, yet he wants to convey this idea through the number of lines that these stanzas contain. The sudden leap from short to long stanzas surprises the readers and make them think about the obvious and deliberately created difference."

Abstract
This paper explains that the disjunction between patient and nurse perception of call bells is the crux of the research reported by Deitrick, Bokovoy, Stern and Panik in their article "Dance of the Call Bells: Using Ethnography to Evaluate Patient Satisfaction with Quality of Care". The paper points out that Deitrick et al found that the nursing staff often ignored patient calls or deferred responsibility for answering them because the nurses often viewed the calls as being a nuisance. The paper concludes that ethnographic methods provide a more comprehensive picture than quantitative data alone.

From the Paper
"A number of different data collection methods were used. First, researchers mapped the site in question including the layout of the patient unit, nursing stations, public and private areas, utility rooms, and the position of the unit in relation to the rest of the hospital. Also, the nursing stations were themselves mapped to provide greater detail about the location of their materials. Special attention was given to mapping the central nurse station. Second, photographs captured a large amount of information for the current study such as snapshots of the call bell console at the nurse's stations."

Abstract
This paper discusses the poem, "Bells for John Whiteside's Daughter" by John Crowe Ransom. It focuses on the metaphors, smilies, dramatic situations, irony and theme of the poem. It further provides a thesis that the poem depicts death from the perspective of mourners who know that death will come to all human beings; yet it is difficult to comprehend when a child's life is considered.

From the Paper
""Bells for John Whiteside's Daughter", by John Crowe Ransom relates the tale of a child that suddenly dies, and the mourners who are lost in recent memories of her playful life - unable to accept her departure. The poem is also a statement about what is expected in life, but what society does not anticipate with the passing of a child. Irony is evident throughout the work of Ransom. This is demonstrated in the final verse of the poem in which Ransom discusses that the mourners are "ready", in a matter-of-fact-manner, for the funeral to begin with the chiming of the bells (Ransom). The irony exists in the fact that the mourners appear to approach the little girl's funeral with a cold, lack of concern. "

Abstract
This paper explains how Poe uses imagery in "The Bells" to emphasize mood and meaning. The paper also explains how the imagery in the poem not only reflects the mood of the poet, but also represents the stages of life that he finds shocking and terrifying.

From the Paper
"The poet introduces us to the pleasing sound of the bells in the first stanza. He tells us, "What a world of merriment their melody foretells" (Poe 3). The silver bells also fill the "icy air of night" (5) with a "crystalline delight" (8). The poet also says the stars keep time "in a sort of Runic rhyme/To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells" (10). The images of the bells jingling and tinkling in the night air give us a pleasant image of the bells. In this stanza, they represent happiness and joy."

Abstract
This paper discusses that, while meter and rhyme in Poe?s poem ?The Bells? is magical in its own right, these patterns also contribute greatly to the overall effect of the poem. The author feels that rhyme goes hand-in-hand with meter to create the overall mood and tone of Poe?s ?The Bells.? The paper explains that, although each stanza begins and ends with the same metric pattern, trochaic octameter with frequent catalexis, and rhyme scheme, Poe mixes up the meter and rhyme within each stanza.

From the Paper
"The bulk of the stanza bodies is composed in trochaic octameter with alternating catalexis. The first stanza is almost entirely catalectic except for the two lines in the middle: ?While the / stars that / over / sprinkle // All the / heavens / seem to / twinkle.? Similarly, Poe includes lines without catalexis in all the stanzas, and about at the same point in the overall metric pattern and often with the same exact rhyme pattern as well: in the second stanza, the line without catalexis ends in an ?-ing? word, ?ringing,? just as in the first stanza. In the third stanza: ?By the / twanging // And the / clanging,? and in the fourth: ?Feel a / glory / in so / rolling.?"

Abstract
This paper provides a biographical sketch of Alexander Graham Bell. Instead of being a straightforward recounting of events, it highlights the serendipity that accompanies the inventor at various and key stages in the development of the telephone. For example, the paper shows how Bell's idealistic effort to help the deaf propelled him into the field of electromagnetic sound transmission in a fortuitous way. The paper also highlights Bell's native genius in invention and his unwavering devotion to his cause. Finally, the paper summarizes Bell's contributions in other fields, and also points out some of his faults, like his belief in and contribution towards eugenics.

From the Paper
"The life of Alexander Graham Bell demonstrates the serendipity that accompanies the genius of the inventor. He is most famous for the invention of the telephone, yet he lacked the requisite scientific knowledge for such an invention. Surveying the situation in the middle of the 19th century, it appears that there were many people far better qualified than Bell to come up with the telephone - for example, Elisha Gray, Thomas Edison and William Thompson. Bell's one advantage was his outstanding dedication. His original goal was to enhance the field of elocution. Both his grandfather and father were eminent elocutionists, and Bell aimed to shine in the family tradition. Another crucial factor was his mother's deafness, and Bell's work in mechanical elocution was largely aimed to help his mother, or the deaf and dumb in general. Therefore, we see that Bell was inspired in a lofty way, and this made it possible for a teacher in elocution to end up becoming the inventor of the telephone, even though he lacked the necessary scientific background."

Abstract
The paper explores how it is possible that an organization like Taco Bell performs so well in terms of profitability, locally and globally. To address this question, the paper focuses on the challenges Taco Bell faces in three key business areas: staffing, training and compensation. The paper analyzes each area and offers a plan or recommendation for how Taco Bell may overcome challenges it faces in each of the three business areas.

From the Paper
"Fast food chains across the country have become synonymous with a number of less than flattering images: poor service and unhealthy food. The other image that exists in the minds of millions, which is often not publicized is satisfaction. There is a reason that fast food giants like McDonald's, Burger King and Taco Bell are among the most profitable businesses in the nation - they satisfy a consumer need at a reasonable price point. There is an assumption in business that it is necessary to invest in employee training to increase employee loyalty, satisfaction and productivity (Barrick, Stewart, & Piotrowski, 2002). If this assumption is true, the success many fast food chains afford becomes somewhat of a conundrum."
