Abstract
The paper provides a slide presentation of a police department organizational chart. The paper includes notes comparing and contrasting organizational charts.

From the Paper
"Most American police departments are hierarchal organizations with distinct chains of command and top-down authority structures. However, such departments often exhibit substantial variations in structure complexity and control mechanism. Local rather than national or even state-level guidelines are likely to shape these organizations. Edward Maguire, in an analysis of the organizational structures of American police departments stated that most such entities are characterized by hierarchal top-won vertical structures with distinct top-down chains of command. However, there is no single..."

Abstract
This paper offers a chart of infectious disease, noting five diseases; flu, measles, genital herpes, gonorrhea, and Hepatitus A, and the microorganisms that cause them, their incidence, their symptoms, and their treatment. The paper begins with Hepatitus A as an infection of the liver, which becomes inflamed and may show limited functioning, and shows how this can be treated by good hygiene.

Abstract
Data visualization is the use of interactive, sensory representations, typically visual, of abstract data to reinforce cognition. That, in itself, is a method or technique of decision-making. To further break it down, the most popular and widely used tool of data visualization is the pie chart. This paper presents an introduction of the pie chart and it's most common applications. It explains when it should and should not be used and provides examples in color.

From the Paper
"Pie charts work well when the values of the percentages of the whole differ greatly from each other. In other words, you do not want your pie values to be within one or two digits from each other, which would be indistinguishable on the chart to the naked eye. Another moniker for pie charts is: do not use a pie chart when there are more than six parts to the whole. Having too many values for comparison on the chart will distract from the clear simplistic message and instead offer a complex confusing assortment of data."

Abstract
This paper is about the production planning process and the use of the Gannt chart as a tool both to manage and to plan production runs. The paper discusses the advantages and the limitations of Gannt charts.

From the Paper
"Production scheduling activities are complex. Production managers must generate and update production schedules. Production schedules state when certain controllable activities should take place. In manufacturing facilities, such as those involved in the production of die cut automotive parts, production schedules can reduce waste, ensure customers' demands are met, increase productivity on the production floor and reduce operating costs. A properly developed production schedule can identify resource conflicts, control the release of jobs to the shop, and ensure that required raw materials are ordered in time..."

Abstract
This paper explains that charting, in its most basic forms, is used to put fundamental measurements from an observation into a rational way of thinking ,thus bringing clarity to confusion. The author points out that charting primarily is dependent upon what data is being analyzed and who is doing the analysis. The paper stresses that charting can often become confusing because people make charts that display too much data within a single chart. Five charting techniques are illustrated in this paper: bar chart, candlestick charting, line charts, point and figure charts and three line break charts.

From the Paper
"This type of charting shown below is very similar to that of the bar chart. Except during the period between the open of trading and the close of trading a solid thick line is drawn in during the time-period in question. The same line appears in the bar chart but is not as defined and is the section between the open and last trade. Often this type of charting is used to analyze the short term forecasts of the stock. In addition to this the basic solid square represents a day which closes with a low and the open square in the chart represents a day where closing is on a high note/price."

Abstract
This paper describes how many uses have been found for computer technology in the medical field. It further notes that adapting this technology in different ways has provided new opportunities, increased efficiency and reduced costs. Additionally, it benefits the patient and the health care worker alike. The paper then describes how the author, a registered nurse, has also benefited from the use of computer charting in her profession.

From the Paper
"More and more uses have been found for computer technology in the medical field, and adapting this technology in different ways can provide new opportunities, increase efficiency, reduce costs, and benefit the patient and the healthcare worker alike. In my own role as a registered nurse, a way of adapting computer technology to improve efficiency has been noted, and this leads to a plan to implement the program, the overcome resistance and see that the program is installed and used, and to assess the change and determine the viability of using this technology in the future. I work in a 200-bed hospital in which we use computers for charting and..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the benefits that computer charting has on nursing and health care. The paper contends that one of the major advantages of computer charting is that a patient's medical information can be accessed from anywhere in the hospital. Another advantage described in the paper is that computer charting eliminates the problem of interpreting poor handwriting and suffering from the resulting errors in interpretation. The paper assesses that the greatest benefit of computer charting is that it leads nurses to comply with 'good nursing' methods by providing the essential template for their daily work.

From the Paper
"Technology has changed every significant industry on Earth, and perhaps the industry most affected outside of telecommunications and travel has been health care. Medical innovation goes hand-in-hand with technological innovation, and so many of our most technically advanced procedures depend solely on technology for their success. For instance, the balloon angioplasty has saved countless cardiac patients' lives, but the procedure does not exist without the technology to produce and insert the catheter and the computer imaging that guides the cardiologist in its implementation."

Abstract
This paper states that, if there were some global disaster, the last thing to disappear would be the commercial message. The author points out that the most disturbing point about ads is that they reduce every item in the world to a commodity and people to no more than consumers. The paper relates that along with the specific content of ads is the overall message that all people need for fulfillment and happiness are material goods. The author underscores that advertising has become very skilled in using psychology to shape people's desires and value systems, including the person's self-concept. The paper states that various material goods are linked with all sorts of real traditional values so that products and meaning are confused.

From the Paper
"Advertising extends its influence farther than can be controlled by a simple code of ethics because advertisers control the meanings across the entire society. Advertising has extensive image-based influence and changes the image system in areas such as economics and politics. I as a single individual, find that every space I have is inundated with advertising's images. There is no escape for individuals and there is no relief for the whole society. As a result, the real world of true values and of deep human aspirations is becoming increasingly smaller."
