Abstract
This paper discusses the invention of the television and how this has affected the western society. The paper describes how it has transformed us into a culture which sits during the majority of our lives. The paper discusses how sitting has produced elements of freedom. Sitting reminds us of times when lower classes did not have such privileges and thus we look to sitting for individuality.
From the Paper
"The world of interior design has changed dramatically with the innovative technologies of the modern world. Our careers, chores and even our leisurely past-times have all adapted because of these changes. However, these events are not ones our society often considers on a daily basis, unless they are brought forth to our attention during some means. One such channel was an exposition in Paris, VIDEHOME, which illustrates the evolution of such dramatic alterations in our society. Namely, ever since the first television set was brought into a home, human habits have irrevocably transformed. Our society has become a society which sits as opposed to walking or standing and this was revolutionized by the television set. The following will examine this perspective by analyzing ideas of comfort and ergonomics, individual and cultural tastes, personal freedoms and new manufacturing ideas centered on a society of sitting."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the topic of ergonomics in office design. The paper recognizes the importance of the physical and mental well-being of the office employee and therefore explains how interior designers need to be aware of methods of possible stresses for employees. The paper discusses how ideas of psychological, anatomic and physiological well-being all relate to ergonomics in the workplace.
From the Paper
"Ergonomics is a field which stresses the combination of the sciences of psychology, physiology and anatomy when designing objects and spaces that humans will utilize in order to provide the greatest levels of adaptability and comfort for the human beings involved. It involves the capability to fully understand responsibilities at hand and the methods and means to which humans will be most proficient in ensuring their completion. Once the equipment necessary for the achievement of these tasks is more suitable for interaction with people, then it is safe to suggest that the people involved will experience fewer stresses or anxiety and thus the ultimate result will culminate in successes for all involved."

Abstract
This paper discusses a study that was conducted relating to prenatal screening and genetics counseling. The paper examines the reasons for the research, the methods, participants and instruments used to conduct the research and discusses the study findings. The paper then provides a discussion based on the study findings, as well as makes recommendations for the future of health care in relation to this issue.
From the Paper
"Introduction Prenatal screening is not routinely offered at health care facilities, nor is information provided to patients with regard to prenatal screening. Most women that deliver babies today that have genetic defects were never offered the opportunity for prenatal screening during their pregnancies. Studies have indicated that as women age they have a greater risk of fertility problems, and that by age 25 women run a 1 in 250 chance of having a child with Down's Syndrome. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, therefore, recommends that all women over the age of 30 be offered prenatal testing to determine if there is a genetic disorder in the unborn child."

Abstract
This paper discusses the bacteria that seems to appear in research journals and media reports with ever-increasing regularity, Streptococcus mutans. It reviews of current scientific, medical, and dental professional literature and research in the quest to learn more about this cavity-causing bacterium.
From the Paper
"Scientific Review Paper: Streptococcus mutans In today's world of ever-expanding scientific and medical knowledge and know-how, one small bacterium that seems to appear in research journals and media reports with ever-increasing regularity is Streptococcus mutans. This bacterium is, according to a recent report, "one of hundreds of species of bacteria that thrive in the mouth. The bacteria's normal waste product is lactic acid, which dissolves the surface of the tooth. Over time the acid makes a cavity" (Fields 48). With such importance placed upon it as the sole reason for the dentist's drill being so busy and individuals' dental health being so poor, it is obvious as to why such energy and research is spent on this tiny organism."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This essay critiques an experiment testing the use of classical music to improve the test scores of a number of spatial tasks. The paper describes the methodology of the experiment and discusses the findings, particularly that exposure to complexly-structured classical music leads to an improvement in abstract reasoning ability.
From the Paper
"In the experiment studying music and spatial task performance, the purpose was to "demonstrate the correlation between music cognition and cognitions pertaining to abstract operations such as mathematical or spatial reasoning." The experimenter's findings were that: exposure to complexly-structured classical music leads to an improvement in abstract reasoning ability. According to the statistics, this hypothesis seems correct, but there are a number of aspects of the study which are in need of improvement. One weak area of the study is length of time the music was played for. In the study, the students listened to ten minutes of classical music, ten minutes of a relaxation tape, and ten minutes of silence, prior to performing standard IQ spatial reasoning tasks."

Abstract
This research study critique discusses an article relating to sleep. It focuses on slow wave activity increases during and immediately after a task is performed. The study suggests that there was a localized effect rather than global. The researchers were not explicit in their study about the sample size or population used and therefore the critique focuses on that as a major issue regarding validity of the study. It cites similar comments on study design and methodology.

Abstract
This paper pays particular attention to substantive qualities (research problem and purpose, research question and accompanying hypothesis/hypotheses, variable identification, supportive literature, conceptual framework), research methodology, research ethics, data interpretation, writing and presentation style and quality of presentation and writing. The paper specifically discusses these issues with regards to an article by Adams, Julian, et al.
From the Paper
"Fairly commenting on an investigator's research endeavor is a task that must be taken seriously. Although it is quite easy to have an opinion of another's research, it is something quite different to be able to evaluate the research activity in terms of topic specificity and soundness, intent or purpose, data analysis, and informational importance. When embarking upon a critical analysis of another's work the reviewer must, at all times, adhere to the basic principle of prudent evaluation; namely, evaluating the structure of the research upon which scientific conclusion are drawn."

Abstract
The following paper is a proposal for a larger essay discussing the impact of globalization - especially business globalization - upon the Yanomami people of the Amazon regions of Venezuela and Brazil. The paper provides an annotated bibliography and also suggests some areas of study. In particular, the paper focuses upon the social and cultural impact of globalization upon the Yanomami.
From the Paper
"The Yanomami people of Brazil have endured much in recent decades as white settlers and then western corporations violated the formerly pristine lands of the Amazon rainforest and greatly disrupted the indigenous ecosystem. More importantly for our discussion, however, the arrival of late-twentieth century globalization has both greatly impacted the social and cultural life of the Yanomami - and exacted a disturbing toll in terms of loss of life."

"Interactions that Scaffold Reading Performance", 2005.
A Critique of E.M. Rodgers' "Interactions that Scaffold Reading Performance".
2,250 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 6 sources, $ 89.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper critiques a research study by E.M. Rodgers. The paper assesses the study as a poorly formulated qualitative study of scaffolding in first-grade pupils having difficulty learning to read. The paper analyzes the faulty research design; the reductive, streamlined data; and the very vague discussion of both tutor and student participants.
From the Paper
"E. M. Rodgers introduces her paper as a case study that involves two allegedly effective literacy teachers involved with four first-grade students that had been having extreme difficulty in learning to read. (P. 501) The model of 'scaffolding' is favoured, strongly, as explained by Rodgers in reference to teachers' efforts to focus on areas of particular difficulty, anticipating those in which the student needs extra help or reminders, and an artful ability to provide exercises at which students are encouraged to make several attempts, eventually mastering tasks via the accomplishment of those gone before."

Abstract
This paper is a review of qualitative nursing research methodology through the analysis of a qualitative nursing study. The paper reviews and critically analyzes statement of interest, purpose of study, research question, design, sample and setting, data collection and methodology, a brief comment on human rights, data analysis, findings, discussion, implication and conclusion and then a statement on the overall quality of the study and implications evident for the field of nursing.
From the Paper
"The field of nursing is a caring profession - caring for the body and caring the for patient's emotional state. Nurses are on the front line and the one to respond to patients in need, whether by phone in a doctor's office or in answer to a call button in the hospital. Nursing research holds the solutions for what a nurse does or how they can be of help. Staying abreast of relevant, reliable and valid research is essential to the nursing profession; however, equally important is the ability to discern good research from bad. This paper presents an analysis of the qualitative nursing study: Isolation from 'Being Alive': Coping with severe nausea and vomiting of pregnancy following the guidelines presented in class. Morning sickness is common during pregnancy."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents a series of research methods through exploring the study of ancient freemasonry. The paper examines how, due to freemasonry being a closed fraternal organization, research into its ancient origins needs to be done cautiously in order to avoid errors or problems in imposing the researcher's personal views.
From the Paper
"Historically, freemasonry is considered a society in which its membership actively practices secrecy. The reasons for secrecy among Freemasons are perplexing to outsiders, for interest in freemasonry is enhanced when there is the implication that this is a clandestine organization with intentions and purposes that are not fully known; revealing these details would appear to grant an additional element of legitimacy to the organization. Furthermore, researchers, scholars, and theologians seeking to approach freemasonry and understand its practices are likewise thwarted from a lack of information. Even that information that does exist is controversial, for it is rarely verified through an outside source. This paper takes into consideration these liabilities while attempting to find a verifiable solution to study the establishment and founding of ancient freemasonry."
