Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine if a higher internal locus of control would predict a higher level of life satisfaction for caretakers of Alzheimer's patients. The subjects in the present study are 50 male and female caretakers of Alzheimer's patients, who volunteered from a local treatment center. Subjects responded to two test instruments: the Belief in Personal Control Scale and the Satisfaction With Life Scale.
Results of the simple regression analysis used, statistically validate the hypothesis. The predictability index demonstrated that as levels of locus of control increased, levels of life satisfaction increased. Implications of this research are that since caretakers tend to be happier when they feel more in control, social workers and other health practitioners striving to increase this tendency, would provide greater assistance to this population.

From the Paper
"Caregiving responsibilities or perceived responsibilities result in stress. The caregiver's relationship to the patient has been a factor found to influence service utilization, and therefore stress levels. For example, caregiver's who are children, rather than spouses, tend to use institutional options more often. When institutions are not used, the constant vigilance necessary as well as the mounding fear, become a burden to the caretaker, which may further result in reactions of guilt and shame. Thus perceived responsibilities and perceived possible solutions are factors in caretaker's stress levels (Ganzer & england, 1994, pp. 174-180)."

Abstract
This paper examines four plays from around the globe and analyzes their central themes. The paper shows how David Hare's "Absence of War" introduces audiences to the British political system and the total lack of personality in its leaders. In "Indian Ink", by Tom Stoppard, the paper discusses the play's emphasis on the colonial era in India and power relations in the world. The paper looks at the psychological state of the characters in Harold Pinter's "The Caretaker" and the way their attire contributes to this state. Finally, the paper shows how Sean O'Casey, in his play "Shadow of a Gunman", shapes his material the distinction between illusion and reality.

From the Paper
"The play involves an ongoing series of interactions among these three. Davies and Aston conflict almost from the moment they arrive in this room, for they are very unlike and react differently to everything that happens. Mick, on the other hand, serves the role of goad, seeming to come from nowhere and to place demands. In the First Act, Mick is only seen twice, both times in his leather jacket, signaling a certain fascist mentality in his dress. His behavior confirms this as he enters silently, twists Davies's arm, and searches through Davies clothing, all as if he had the right to do so and should never be questioned."

Abstract
This paper explores the theme of violence in Pinter's play. There are instances of both physical violence and psychological violence the play, and in the centre of the play, we are shown a mixture of the two. This essay discusses each of these types of violence, and also the effect of the tone of menace and violence that underlies the whole play.

From the Paper
"Physical violence is the most obvious type of violence in the play. The play begins with Davies, a man of age about sixty and from, what we can gather, homeless, having just been in a brawl in the caf? at which he worked. So right from the outset, Pinter establishes a feel of violence and menace, emphasises by Davies? insults of "Black, Greeks and Poles"."

Abstract

From the Paper
"The societal view of people with developmental disabilities such as autism, down's syndrome, and mental retardation is complicated. On the one hand, there is a tradition in Western healthcare of institutionalizing these clients and keeping them separate from society. On the other hand, there is a growing movement for the integration of these individuals into productive roles into society through assisted living, independent living, and other alternatives stressing independence and empowerment of the disabled individual. This is sometimes known as the respective eras of institutionalization and deinstitutionalization in respect to individuals with developmental disabilities and how society views them. Seltzer et. al (2001) remark that "Many agencies that provide services to individuals with mental retardation were created in the era of deinstitutionalization (sic) and many still serve individuals who previously lived in state institutions whose families may not be highly involved."

Abstract
This paper reviews and analyzes Zelizer's provocative work on the relationship between intimate transactions, such as marriage and the caretaking of family members, and economic life. According to the paper, his theory outlines three possible approaches to the subject, one of which is the so-called 'nothing but' approach. This theory is describes at length with salient examples.The paper further examines whether the 'nothing but' theory, or NBT, is in fact an adequate descriptor of what goes on in a relationship between a domestic caretaker and a household owner.

From the Paper
"Zelizer's (2005) provocative work on the relationship between intimate transactions (such as marriage and the caretaking of family members) and economic life outlines three possible approaches to the subject, one of which is the so-called `nothing but' approach: "far from constituting an encounter between two contradictory principles, the mingling of economic activity and intimacy...is nothing but another version of normal market activity..." (p. 21) This paper will examine whether the `nothing but' theory, or NBT, is in fact an adequate descriptor of what goes on in a..."

Abstract
This paper maintains that small businesses need to have a strategy. The paper demonstrates how a firm with proactive policies, managed by an entrepreneurial or quasi entrepreneurial owner-manager or manager will be more likely to succeed. The paper describes how managing small entrepreneurial concerns is a risky business; according to government statistics, about 400,000 small businesses fail each year. The paper illustrates how a firm with no strategic plan, managed by a 'caretaker' and 'reactive' manager will face a higher chance of failure.

From the Paper
"The strategy planning of a business may be viewed from various perspectives. The strength of a business in a particular area gives it substantial advantage over other business. However, many of the advantages may be short lived as the competitors can also try to acquire these advantages. A proper well thought out strategy may not make a business famous for its well known technology or brands of products but it can certainly give the business the required profitability to operate as a viable business."

Abstract
This research paper examines literature concerning the affects of domestic violence during the course of a pregnancy and whether it is a contributing factor in low birth weight among newborn infants. The paper examines this topic from the perspective of what its implications may be for the nurse in her duty as healthcare deliverer, as it is the nurse who is primarily responsible for assessing the patient /expectant mother and the nurse who will ultimately impact the lives of the mother.

From the Paper
"In seeking determination of the prevalence of incidents of physical abuse and oftentimes emotional/psychological/sexual and other forms of accompanying abuse study is vital in dealing with the low birth-weight infant and the health implications assigned to low birth-weight in terms of the future health aspects that accompany being a LBW individual. The specific responsibility and one of the most vital factors is the critical assessment of the nurse, nurse practitioner and the treating physician of the pregnant women who is a victim of abuse. The pursuit of conducting a study or monitoring abuse of women cannot be a conclusive study if the nurse specifically does not critically monitor patients that the data applies to in terms of abuse such as socio-economic factors, educational attainment level, age, and other indicators not as readily evident. It is the nurse who assess the patient /expectant mother, and the nurse who will ultimately impact the lives of the mother and the infant either positively or negligently depending on the focus and perceptional ability of the nurse, nursing practitioner, or personal physician."

Abstract
This paper describes the author's early childhood experiences as a caretaker of her grandmother and how this experiences initiated an interested in drugs and medicine. The paper also explains the author's continuing interest in pharmacy and why she believes she is suited for a career in the field of pharmacy.

From the Paper
"My interest in the field of Pharmacy stems primarily from my early experience with my grandmother and her fight with Alzheimer's disease. I was only nine years old and we were still living in Iran at the time. Since my mother worked full time as a nurse, my grandmother had practically raised me. Her diagnosis gave me an opportunity to take care of her. This was the beginning of my education in the field of medicine. It was important that I carefully learned about the different drugs she had to take and assisted her in sticking to her regime of taking her medication. Thus began my appreciation of and interest in the importance of the study of Pharmacy."

Abstract
This paper presents biographical information on the life of Rudyard Kipling. It looks at Kipling's early years in India, his years with an abusive caretaker in England, and his school years. The paper also examines the stages in Kipling's career, some of his writings, and his death.

From the Paper
"Aside from the abuse that he received and the bullying that went on, which made for some hard first years at the school, Kipling recalls the school as clean without any epidemics. His writings also viewed the bullying as a silly and childish past time for those whom were soon to become men. Everyday he would read greedily and write even more selfishly as if these things were going to be taken from him. One reason for this could have been that his sister learned these things at a younger age than he. J.I.M. Stewart wrote that it has been said that Rudyard's favorite writer may have been Tom Jones, which contributed to his literary style (28). Since the school was a military based school, all of the boys were pushed to enter the army. But from a young age, it was very noticeable to all that came in contact with Kipling that he was not going to pursue that route."
