Abstract
In this article, the writer examines the research in the article "Periodontal Disease and Prematurity among Non-smoking Sri Lankan Women". The writer discusses the hypothesis that periodontal disease has a role in causing preterm low birth weight deliveries among rural primi-gravida women who are free of tobacco, alcohol, and drug use. The writer notes that various factors have been associated with the delivery of preterm and low-birth weight infants and the role of infection is receiving increasing attention. The writer concludes that the data and statistics presented link periodontal disease as one of the contributing factors for preterm low birth weight deliveries. Further, the writer maintains that this study can educate mothers that even if they feel they are perfectly healthy and free from smoking, alcohol consumption, and drug use, they are not guaranteed to have a term infant with normal weight.
From the Paper
"Periodontal disease is associated with a chronic Gram-negative infection of the periodontal tissues which results in long-term local elevation of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins and cytokines and an increase in the systemic levels of some of these inflammatory mediators. Hence, periodontal disease has the potential to influence preterm low birth weight through an indirect mechanism involving inflammatory mediators or a direct bacterial assault on the amnion which is suggested in this study conducted in Matale, Sri Lanka. 227 subjects were studied, resulting in a cohort of 66 subjects with the exposure and 161 without the exposure. In this study, the authors observed a higher proportion of preterm low birth weight among subjects with higher pocket depths, plaque, and bleeding scores (the exposed group). This can be linked to a series of animal and clinical studies by Offenbacher and co-investigators that indicate an association between periodontal infection and adverse pregnancy outcome."

Abstract
This paper reviews the life of Abigail Adams and discusses the impact she had on redefining the role of women in society. The paper discusses the letters Abigail wrote to her husband, which provide valuable insight into her mindset, as well as her position on key issues of her day. The paper also discusses how these positions influenced the course of American history.
Outline:
Introduction
Adams' View of the Role of Women in Her Time
Republican Motherhood in the Mind of Adams
Adams' View of Women as Daughter, Wife, and Mother
Abigail Adams Contributions in Retrospect
From the Paper
"The belief and practice of Adams in Republican Motherhood speaks volumes about her views of the role of women in her time of revolution and struggle; moreover, her views of women as daughter, wife and mother are made clearer when reviewing her writings on these matters. Adams' disdain with the holding of political and social power almost exclusively by men can be seen in yet another quote from her letters to her husband: "I am more and more convinced that Man is a dangerous creature, and that power whether vested in many or a few is ever grasping, and like the grave cries give, give" (Akers, 1999). Here, Adams clearly shows that she wishes for women to have a larger role in matters of state. Expanding on this, Adams also shows that she feels that women, in the role of daughter, has the responsibility of becoming educated and learning as much as she can about what would today be called "the man's world" so that she can contribute to it in the future, regardless of what her role is as wife, mother, or even both.

Abstract
The paper relates that traditional nursing in the United States has been accused of being ethnocentric and unable to accommodate cultures other than white Caucasian. The paper examines the cultural issues related to the Appalachian region of the United States and issues that may affect nursing care. The paper explains that the needs of the Appalachian community are different than those in other parts of the country. The paper discusses how the question of spirituality causes a conflict between the needs of the patient and standard ethical practices of the health care system. The paper demonstrates how nurses can play a major role in bridging this gap and developing practices within the Appalachian region that specifically address the need to integrate some type of spirituality into the daily care routine.
Outline:
Understanding Cultural Differences
Bringing Trans-cultural Competence to the Nursing Floor
Health Behaviors and Appalachia
Putting it Into Practice
From the Paper
"The Appalachian region represents a unique culture within the larger culture of the United States. The most obvious difference that one notices when they encounter someone from that region is their accent. However, if one questions them they may tell you that you are the one with the accent. The Appalachian region is a part of a proud Southern tradition that goes back to the founding days of the United States. Many people passed through the region on their way to the western frontier. Some decided to stay and set roots. These settlers blended into the patchwork quilt that became a symbol of the region."

Abstract
This paper reviews literature surrounding the issue of domestic violence. In particular, the work of Erin L. Han entitled "Mandatory Arrest and No-Drop Policies: Victim Empowerment in Domestic Violence Cases" is examined. This paper questions why domestic violence is a continued problem despite specific laws designed to prosecute perpetrators. Additionally, the author compares the length of sentences for males and females accused of domestic violence.
From the Paper
"The work of Erin L. Han entitled: "Mandatory Arrest and No-Drop Policies: Victim Empowerment in Domestic Violence Cases" states that "In recent decades, arrest and prosecution have been applied to perpetrators of domestic violence with increasing severity, representing an important step in recognizing domestic violence as a crime. Some jurisdictions have taken the war against domestic violence a step further, by employing aggressive "mandatory arrest" and "no-drop prosecution" policies." (n.d.) Han notes that the "...modern campaign against domestic violence" has "waged" for over forty years and yet "...the statistics are still appalling." (Ibid) Han states additionally the fact that approximately "two million American women are victims/survivors of domestic violence at the hands of their male partners." (Ibid) "

Abstract
This study proposal targets several detection methods and measures the mammogram's success rate against incidences of detection in which the cancer patient did not have routine mammograms performed. The study hypothesizes that using mammograms as an early detection tool for breast cancer in women between the ages of 40-49 will produce significant early detection thereby making early treatment more possible.

From the Paper
"The significance of this study is that it will allow physicians to become more confident in what tests and tools they order used in the suspicion of breast cancer.
"This not only means a higher survival rate for the patients but it also can mean a reduced financial strain on the insurance companies and the health field in general. Many people who have cancer do not have insurance and this means that the cost of treatment almost always falls to the taxpayers to handle. Early detection provides the ability to use less invasive and fewer lengthy treatment options which in turn mean that it creates a reduced cost to treat."

Postmodern Feminism and Public Administration, 2007.
A look at the contributions of the postmodern feminist theory to public administration.
1,083 words (approx. 4.3 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 37.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper looks at the principles of postmodern feminism, highlighting this tradition's important break from traditional liberal feminism. The paper examines the writings of postmodern writers such as Simone de Beauvoir and Judith Butler, especially their writings on the social construction of the "masculine" and "feminine." It then looks at traditional public administration's "hard" approach that conflicts with ideas that have been referred to as "soft." The paper argues that postmodern feminism can help to create a synthesis between these two approaches, one that combines the best features of both the "hard" and "soft" styles of public administration. It also contends that postmodern feminism jars administrators from their comfort zones and in the process, generates new and innovative modes of thinking.
Outline:
Postmodern Feminism
Public Administration
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Far from being a monolithic entity, feminism has a variety of traditions and focuses. This diversity is reflected in the various approaches of feminism towards studying and criticizing the representation of women in public life. Traditional liberal feminism, for example, has focused on key questions of access. This first wave of feminism believed that when women had access to public institutions such as education and the work place, then gender inequity would be erased. The period of "modernity" was therefore characterized by women's access to areas of public life that was traditionally reserved only for men."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed examination of Jordanian women's NGOs (Non Governmental Organizations) and their impact on domestic politics. In this article, the writer points out that the world of women has been one that has been evolving for the past few decades; however, in Jordan the women's rights movement has been a long-standing battle between several factions. The writer discusses that NGO's that are primarily organized and run by women have been fighting for gender equality for years, with significant progress. The writer notes that the work and pressure of women NGO's in Jordan has had a positive impact on the nation's domestic politics as they have slowly been able to affect change in the women's rights arena. This paper takes a close look at NGO's in general and some of the Jordanian NGOs and the impact that those groups have on domestic policy. In addition, a case study is provided on the largest NGO in Jordan, formerly known as Queen Alia Social Welfare Fund.

From the Paper
"World globalization, coupled with political unrest has provided mankind with a window seat to the workings of many cultures and communities around the world. Whether it is watching the events unfold in Lebanon, hearing about political unrest in Iraq or enjoying the world cup on television there is no denying that things which at one time were private, secluded, and tucked away are now out in the open for all to see.
In the arena of women's rights this has proved to be both advantageous and problematic as governments grapple with how to preserve their heritage and history, while still providing the changes necessary to provide quality lives for their residents. In the nation of Jordan the issue of women's rights has recently begun to explode however, it is not a new issue for those living under the oppressive atmosphere that has been accepted for many years."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The basis for the women breaking support with each other was a statement made by Stanton during one of her public speaking engagements. It was at that time that Stanton vowed she would not vote for Blacks having the right to vote as long as women were not allowed to vote. Black women throughout the movement took issue with the one sided support. They believed that if they were supporting the women's movement then the white women suffragists should also support the Black movement, because in their mind oppression was oppression and it should all be fought against."

Conclusion
References
From the Paper
"The reason it is considered a more accurate examination in women under 45 for breast cancer is because of the density of women's breasts when they are younger. The ultrasound is more adept at picking up abnormalities through dense breast tissue than a mammogram is. The younger a woman is the more dense her breasts are which can make it difficult for a mammogram to locate or mark lumps that may be hiding behind dense normal breast tissue."

Abstract
In "The Yellow Wallpaper" Charlotte Gilman provides a timeless blueprint of the oppression of women in her era as she illustrates, through the eyes of a narrator, what women of that era endured. The writer examines the short story and discusses the many underlying themes, with a focus on feminine oppression. The paper explains that oppression of females was an accepted practice at that time. The paper contrasts this to members of American society who were born within the past three decades; they have grown up with the understanding that women are equal partners in life. The paper describes how the feminist movement in America exploded during the 1960s and from that time, women have entered the work force in record numbers. The paper portrays how the story is an excellent example of the subtle but difficult walls that women encountered in their daily lives during that time.

"The story is told from a narrator's point of view in which a woman and her retired husband, who was a doctor, rent a mansion for the summer. The need to rent the summer mansion stems from her ailing health as she needs time to recuperate from an illness.
"Today women who are recuperating from illness or injury are often encouraged to resume their normal duties and activities as soon as they feel able, but in keeping with the story era this wife is "forbidden" by her husband to partake in any of the things that give her pleasure."

Did Women Benefit Under Soviet Rule?, 2007.

Abstract
The paper explains that historians argue whether women experienced advances in freedom and equality under the rule of the Soviet Union between 1921 and 1939. The paper reviews the available literature in an attempt to disseminate the truth from fiction as to the advances, or lack of advances, in society during this time period. The paper relates that the lot of women, particularly those in the lower classes of Russian society, certainly changed for the better after the revolution of 1917. The paper explains, however, that underneath the facade of advances for women, dark agendas were lurking for the taking over of countries such as the United States. The paper discusses how the methods proposed to do so would undermine the society through creating dissension and revolution among the female members of the United States.

From the Paper
"The year of 1917 in Russia began with a Romanov monarchy however, just a few months later the Bolsheviks came into power with their leaders under indictment for state treason. The Russian society was in a state of conflict between the classes when this change of power came to be. According to the work of Leon Trotsky entitled: "The History of the Russian Revolution" a problem exists in that "society does not change its institutions as need arises, the way a mechanic changes his instruments. On the contrary society actually takes the institutions which hang upon it as given once for all." (Trotsky, 1930) According to Trotsky "the masses go into a revolution not with a prepared plan of social reconstruction, but with a sharp feeling that they cannot endure the old regime.""

The Influence of African-American Women, 2006.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses Giddings' works and the motivations for and the face of feminist movements in the 1960s and 70s. It highlights the influence and impact that black women have had on racial and sexual issues in America. The author of the paper offers a personal opinion on the state of racial and gender equality in a modern, progressive world.
From the Paper
"Another surprising aspect of this black influence was that many radical white organizations still did not accept female members or support feminist ideas. Here are groups working for societal change and they still do not take women's concerns seriously. That is disturbing and even laughable that an organization dedicated to change was so deeply entrenched in male values that they could not accept women at a time when they were violently opposed to most aspects of modern society. How could they possibly have any remote hope of changing anything in society when they could not, or would not, alter their own prejudices and macho, sexist ideals?"
