Abstract
This paper explains that students with emotional and behavioral disturbances (E/BD) are protected under the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) only in the public school setting; yet, E/BD students, who make the transition into postsecondary education at the university level, often find that the school works to accommodate their special needs. The author points out that, when leaving the postsecondary environment and entering professional work environments, this accommodation has caused problems for some E/BD students, who become accustomed to an environment that supports their potentially unusual work habits and social interactions. The paper stresses that a multiple model program at the postsecondary level can help ease this transition to the work environment by assisting E/BD students, on a case-to-case basis, in acquiring skills necessary for success in the post-education setting.

From the Paper
"Even if it is recognized by the employer and the employee that changes can and should be made to the work environment, the E/BD employee can cause challenges to successful goal completion. E/BD affliction can manifest in many distinctive ways, some of which are counterproductive to the work environment, such as antisocial behaviors. For example, E/BD can occur in the form of post traumatic stress disorder (PSTD), which can reduce the coping strategies of social persons and hamper resiliency in stressful events."

Abstract
In this essay, the writer discusses that the effect of natural disturbances such as hurricanes, storms, tornadoes and volcanic activity upon forest ecosystems is a sorely unexplored phenomenon which has extorted frustratingly empty conclusions. The writer points out that current research has acknowledged that such effects are generally varied unpredictable and particular to each individual situation. Furthermore, the writer notes that the effect of such disturbances on forest ecology can be seen as either positive or negative as regards an afflicted ecosystem, possibly both.

Abstract
This research project examines strategies used by shift workers in aviation maintenance to cope with the fatigue and sleep disturbances suffered as a result of interrupted sleeping patterns. A connection is drawn between accidents, injuries and even airplane malfunctions and sleep disturbances in shift workers.

From the Paper
"Approximately 20 percent of the American workforce - some 20 illion workers - work nonstandard hours (Liskowsky, 1992). Shift work may take the form of evening or night work, rotating shifts, irregular shifts, split shifts, or extended-duty hours. The U.S. Office of Technology has asserted that shift work has the potential to disrupt the body's biological rhythms or changes in various physiological and behavioral functions that repeat at regular intervals ranging from minutes to months."

Abstract
This paper explores the transitional period between education and entering the workforce for young people with emotional and behavioral disturbances (E/BD). The paper further addresses the privileges and protections under the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) granted to these individuals. According to the paper, these help improve the students' educational options through facilitating pedagogical strategies that minimize the negative impact that E/BD can have on concentration and performance.

From the Paper
"This study will examine and compare the worlds described in Joseph Heller`s novel "Catch-22" and the stories in Grace Paley's collection "The Little Disturbances of Man". The study will consider the differences and similarities of the problems in both books, their views of society, the authors' outlooks, and other related issues, such as ethnicity, gender, etc.
The most obvious similarity in the two books is the abundant use of humor in the presentation of the problems and the outlooks of the authors. Both Heller and Paley see the absurdity in life. The first lines of both books establish this fact. In heller, we read: "It was love at first sight. The first time Yossarian saw the chaplain he fell madly in love with him".Paley's first story begins: "I was popular in certain circles, says Aunt Rose. I wasn't no thinner then, only more stationary in the ... "

Abstract
This paper investigates the problems that are found in the dual status of mental retardation and emotional disturbances for children and teens. This paper takes the perspective that if emotional disturbances are not addressed, these disturbances will likely grow worse and harm the overall quality-of-life for the retarded individual.

Abstract
This paper analyzes some of "Dracula"'s more disturbing and terrifying aspects as depicted in Bram Stocker's novel. The paper discusses how Stoker exploits some of people's darkest fears in the novel and explains the concept of unseen evil forces.

From the Paper
"Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula" is considered by many to be one of the greatest tales of Gothic horror ever written. Stoker utilizes the folklore of vampires that has existed for decades but creates a narrative that examines the terrifying subject in a wholly new light. Indeed there is much in "Dracula" that may be disturbing to readers, as Stoker exploits some of our darkest fears in the novel in order to give the narrative deeper meaning."

Abstract
The paper looks at the impact on the classroom of the presence of an emotionally disturbed student and explores the role and strategies of the educator in establishing control over the emotionally disturbed student's negative behaviors. The paper highlights how educators must attempt to positively impact emotionally disturbed students and provide them with a supportive confidence in his or her capacity to demonstrate growth, to grasp educational concepts and to achieve these within the framework of acceptable social and behavioral conditions. The paper concludes that of key importance is positive reinforcement, and the ability to achieve this will hinge heavily on the educator's ability to establish a real and trust-based relationship with the student, to access all available resources and support system members and to maintain the crucial individual attentiveness that every special needs student requires.

Conclusion and Recommendations

From the Paper
"The reality of special education is that those with learning disabilities and those with behavioral problems are frequently categorized similarly. The latter group often will possess distinct learning or cognitive disabilities which may be related to the behaviors which suggest an individual to be emotionally disturbed. Where this is not the case, it still remains often the case that emotionally disturbed students are lumped in with special learning needs students or even general populations. As the article by Ogonosky (2009) argues, this places a pressing impetus upon the instructor to achieve control over the classroom as a way both to enhance the emotionally disturbed student's opportunities for learning and to diminish the threat of disruption for the other students in the classroom. Ogonosky warns that such disruption can take myriad forms and that a special education or inclusion classroom teacher must be prepared to confront this disruption appropriately in all of its forms. While there is never a condition in which disruptive or inappropriate behavior is to be accepted or tolerated, it is anticipated that an educator working with an emotionally disturbed student will nonetheless encounter these behaviors and perhaps with some regularity. As the article indicates, "tantrums, defiance, aggression, poor academic progress, poor social skills and passive noncompliance of requests (such as putting heads down on desks) can present a challenge. But educators can have success with children who have emotional disturbances if they get support from co-workers and consistently implement behavioral strategies and classroom management techniques." (Ogonosky, 1)"

Abstract
The following paper will look at what causes earthquakes to occur. To answer this question, the next several pages will look at the tectonic phenomena which lie at the root of seismic disturbances; in so doing, it will become clear that the brittle nature of the earth's crust is a hugely important consideration when it comes to explaining why earthquakes suddenly spring out of nowhere. Among the fascinating items which will be discussed are the different types of plate activities which trigger earthquakes and the process of subduction which is, at this very moment, setting the stage for the huge area just off from the west coast of the United States otherwise known as the Cascadia zone. The paper will then conclude by describing some interesting features of earthquakes in general - chiefly the actions of their 'waves' as the quake lives out its life - and end with a brief conclusion that shows appropriate reverence for the power of these deadly natural disasters.
