Abstract
The paper focuses on the family structures, ethnicity and religion in the regions of Lika and Krbava based on the census from 1712. This area, which today belongs to Croatia, was of extreme importance as it was on the triple border (triplex confinium) of the three mighty powers:Ottomans, Austrians and Venetians.Therefore the paper aims to reconstruct and explain by statistic and quantitative methods of the epoch.

From the Paper
"A historical reality of Lika and Krbava regions, which belonged to the Triplex Confinium area, where the three very strong powers (the Republic of Venice, the Habsburg Monarchy and the Ottoman Empire) met was an exceptionally complex one. The area was conquered by the Ottomans in 1527 and during the following one and a half centuries most of the inhabitants were Muslims and Vlachs, who were concentrated in strong fortresses constructed for defense in the case of attacks of the Habsburg Empire and the Republic of Venice. However, soon after the disastrous Ottoman attempted siege of Vienna in 1683, the Habsburg troops conquered several Ottoman fortresses. Consequently, in 1689, the last Ottoman fortresses in the Lika region gave up and their inhabitants left for Bosnia. During these battles, most of the population left the Lika region. Most of the Muslim population fled to the remaining Ottoman territories. The same happened with the Vlach population. They left their homes and inhabited partly the Habsburg territories and partly Venetian territories. In a meantime, during the battles, the Habsburg regular troops were being supported by the irregular ones, which also contributed to the formation of a very various ethnic/religious picture of the region. One of the irregular troops was Bunjevci of the Habsburg border regions who entered the Lika region and helped in its reconquest. Therefore, after 1683 the region was re-conquered and resettled in a somewhat irregular and unplanned manner. Having in mind that some Muslims chose to stay in the region but converted to Christianity after the withdrawal of the Ottoman troops (New Christians or Neochristians), the ethnic/religious map of the area became even more complex."

Abstract
This paper discusses topics important to the small area covered by Census Tract 1602 in Bexar County, Texas. The topics include Health, Economics, Education and Recreation and includes several tables with percentage findings presented. To find which topics the area can improve upon, the essay compares the findings from Census Tract 1605 with the findings for Bexar County and Texas.

From the Paper
"An epidemiological assessment was performed to include infant mortality rates, leading causes of death, as well as communicable disease rates. The infant mortality rate for census tract 1605 was compared to the County, State, and Nation. For the nation the mortality rate was 9.2 per 1000 live births (CDC, 2004). For the state it was 6.7 per 1000 live births (CDC, 2004). The county of Bexar had 7.3 per 1000 infants die (SAMHD, 2002), and census tract 1605 had 1 out of 81 was an infant mortality (SAMHD, 2002). Compared to the Nation, State, and County 1605 had relatively the same rate. It was only slightly lower than the others."

From the Paper
"In 1798, English philosopher and political economist by the name of Thomas Robert Malthus wrote the Essay on the Principle of Population in which he suggests that population doubles in size every quarter of a century or increases in geometrical ratio, whereas the means of subsistence cannot increase more quickly than arithmetic ratio (Lieberman, pg. 361, 2000). In his essay, Malthus claims that the economic destiny of the human race is impacted by rates of fertility, mortality, population size, and real wages."

Abstract
This paper will briefly discuss the Census Variation Staffing and how these modes of determination clearly reveal the budget of nursing in a health care system. By revealing some of the differing kinds of consensus nursing, we can understand the broad implications that this form of testing can tell us about a nursing organization and its function.

From the Paper
"Even though the actual long form of census was not devised until 1940, when the whole country was struggling to survive from the Great Depression, the concept of using the census data to help distribute the federal aid and to benefit the people's lives has had its early root back in 1800s. Census data has since become a dominating statistical engine driving decisions made by the government or the private enterprise. In order to be able to make right decisions, not biased by either extremes of the population, sound and complete information of all aspects of life is therefore an imperative. Yes, the question "Do you have a flush toilet? seems to be trifling to most Americans, if not ridiculous. But the fact that there are still people living in the US without flush toilets makes the question important, however few they are in the whole population. Thus next time, if you happen to be the one who receives the long form of census, please remember that sound information is the basis for correct decision making". It is not impossible that you be the beneficiary of that correct decision!"

Abstract
The paper examines the 2000 U.S. Census that indicates the changing ethnic profile of the nation and explores how educators must meet this challenge. The paper discusses the increases of Hispanics, multiracial people and single parents and explains the changes in curriculum, teaching approaches, sensitivities and resources that must adapt to these demographics.

From the Paper
"Although America continues to be a predominantly white or Caucasian nation, as whites make up 75.1% of the population according to the 2000 U.S. Census, this most recent census also indicated that the ethnic profile of the nation is changing rapidly. Educators of today and tomorrow must meet this challenge, and offer a more diverse curriculum designed to meet the demands of the future and to educate students about a wider array of cultures. One of the most notable trends was the increase in the number of Hispanics in the U.S, as reflected in the figures reported in the 2000 Census. According to the 2000 Census, 12.5 % of the respondents identified themselves as Latino, compared with 12.3% of respondents who identified themselves as African Americans."

Abstract
America is changing - socially, demographically, and politically. As it changes, new issues push their way to the fore and old issues recede into the background. Certainly, one of the issues that has become very important in the last few years has been same-sex unions and whether or not it is good for the country; in particular, there have been fears expressed that giving legal sanction to same-sex marriage in all of the US states will further weaken the battered institution of (heterosexual) marriage. The following proposal is interested in this social debate, but especially interested in learning about how the increased controversy surrounding same-sex unions has impacted same-sex couples that happen to be African-American. To elaborate, what economic challenges do same-sex couples in America face because of the present debate? Understanding the situation confronting this marginalized minority group will allow us to find ways of assisting such couples find a secure haven in a turbulent world.

Abstract
In this paper the author takes an in-depth look at how the Hispanic population is faring in the United States. The author uses the 2002 census results as a reference point and then moves on to examine the education that Hispanics are receiving. The author concludes by asserting that if Hispanics become involved in the political system, this will help to understand and improve their situation.

From the paper:

?Thus, the presence of Hispanics in America today pose specific problems to various policymakers, educators and certain identified states. Hispanics generally do not view themselves as victims of discrimination, but their test scores and educational record account for institutionalized failure that adversely affects them.?
