Abstract
This paper is an incomplete presentation of a series of monographs for carcinogens. All carcinogens chosen were chosen based on being carcinogenic components of cigarette smoking. Two Group One carcinogens - Benzene and Radon were chosen, two group two carcinogens - formaldehyde and acrylonitrile were also chosen. Each were discussed in this paper based on chemical use, derivation (natural or synthetic), safety levels, results of acute exposure and results of cumulative exposure.
From the Paper
"The following monograms are all cancerous agents from Group 1, Group 2 and Group 2B carcinogens that result from tobacco smoke ("Tobacco smoke, 1999). Group 1 - Benzene, CAS# 71-43-2 Chemical uses. Benzene is used in many industries as a solvent and chemical additive, ranging from the rubber and oil industries to shoe manufacturers and chemical plants ("Benzene," 2006). Benzene is also a component of many consumer goods, primarily as a solvent, such as glues, art supplies of varying kinds, glues, paint strippers as well as various detergents and other cleaning supplies ("Benzene," 2006). How developed. Benzene is a colorless, highly flammable liquid formed from natural processes such as forest fires and volcanoes ("Benzene," 2006). For over 150 years, however, benzene has been produced commercially from coal and more recently petroleum."

From the Paper
" Rowinsky, Cazenave and Donehower report that taxol is the first compound having a taxene ring that demonstrates antineoplastic activity. This compound has become one of the most important lead anticancer agents to emerge from the recent screening of natural products (Rowinsky, Cazenave & Donehower 1247).
Rowinsky, Cazenave and Donehower further report that this agent has been found to demonstrate anticancer activity against several murine tumors, including L1210, P388, and P1534 leukemias, Walker 256 carcinosarcoma, sarcoma 180, and Lewis lung tumors (Rowinsky, Cazenave & Donehower 1247). McGuire et al. report that taxol promotes the assembly of microtubules, in addition to stabilizing their formation by the prevention of polymerization (McGuire, Row., Rosen., Grum., Ett., Arms., &.."

Abstract
This paper looks at the development of online tourist agents and their impact on traditional, high-street travel agents, with a focus on European consumers. The paper also looks at the reasons behind the increase in online travel bookings, through a discussion of seven hypotheses.
From the Paper
"Hundreds of thousands of people are turning to the internet to book their holidays, as they realize it is cheaper, and easier. Anyone who has stood in a high street travel agent in the UK, and waited in turn to talk to someone about booking a holiday anywhere vaguely off the package tourist trail welcomed the internet with open arms, especially as prices on the internet are far lower than those offered by high street travel agents, and because the whole experience of booking your holiday is far nicer at home in front of your computer, than stuck on an uncomfortable chair, in a hot, stuffy room, trying to explain to the person behind the counter where Palermo is."

Deadly Force and the Law Enforcement Agents, 2002.
This paper examines the use of deadly force by law enforcement agents and concludes that law enforcement?s recourse to deadly force where necessary should not be significantly reduced.
1,175 words (approx. 4.7 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 40.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper evaluates both sides of the issue about the use of deadly force by law enforcement agents by using a formal logic format of two premises and a conclusion. This paper states that suing every cop who uses deadly force or disarming law enforcement altogether is not the answer to problems that attend the use of deadly force. The author concludes that there is compelling evidence that law enforcement organizations have been conscientious in recent years about developing an ethos of public protection and service and firearm safety. Annotated Bibliography.
From the Paper
"Such attitudes and trends help explain why police personnel are increasingly at risk. Police are put in the position of continually second-guessing themselves in the matter of use of deadly force. This means that law-enforcement effectiveness can suffer, which can further erode public safety and make respect for the law an irrelevant social proposition."

From the Paper
" This research examines the profession of being a sports agent in the National Football League. How to start a business of being a sports agent will be discussed, along with popular myths and the hard realities of the profession.
There is a moment in the Tom Cruise movie, Jerry Maguire, where Cruise's rival, a predatory sports agent with the ethical code of a stepped-on scorpion, glibly assures a promising young athlete that there is nothing he is not prepared to do to make the boy happy. "I will kill, maim, rape and pillage for you," the agent solemnly swears.
Which is close to the public's perception of agents, slick-talking wheeler-dealers who make their living off the sweat of their celebrated but fiscally hapless prot?g?s. "Sharks in suits" is how the eponymous Cruise character describes the profession in.."

From the Paper
"The travel business is changing with the development of advanced computer programs and access to different computer networks. These changes include the introduction of new services which travelers can access themselves without the need of agents. One of the reasons for this shift is the perception on the part of the public that they have been paying too much for their travel and that there is some hidden expense in the use of a travel agent that they can now avoid. They may also desire to become masters of their own fate to a much greater degree, using self-service machines and computers to shape their own travel plans. Yet, the question is whether these travelers are succeeding in this effort or are only creating new problems for themselves. As this form of do-it-yourself-travel grows, it is also a question whether the mass of travelers really want this sort of system and want to do the job ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses some of the history of treatment for schizophrenia, as well as some of the most modern medications and how they are used, successfully or not, to treat the symptoms manifested.
From the Paper
"Schizophrenia was first defined in 1911 by a Swiss psychiatrist. The term was used to characterize a group of patients who suffered from disconnected thought and emotional responses. While the term literally means ?split mind?, it is incorrect to believe that schizophrenia is a disease which is manifested by a split personality. Schizophrenia is now used to describe a multifactorial disease which is characterized by delusions, hallucinations, disordered thinking and emotional unresponsiveness."

Abstract
This paper discusses the profession of the sports agent. It looks at what it takes to become a respected player agent; including registration and certification requirements. It shows how one of the major roles of a sports agent is contract negotiation and discusses this topic in detail. It concludes with the expected future and development in this field.
From the Paper
"Commonly, the terms ?sports agent?, ?player agent?, ?sports or contract representative? and ?contract advisor? are used interchangeably (vill.edu). Each term, whether identifying a lawyer or a non-lawyer, depicts a delegate who performs basically the same service (vill.edu). It is the duty of these professionals to represent, counsel, advise and assist a professional athlete in the negotiation, execution and enforcement of the player's contract (vill.edu). As of April 1993, two hundred seventy three major league baseball players earned a salary of one million dollars or more and agents usually receive four percent of the player's salary as their fee (vill.edu). This has caused a dramatic growth in the number of persons desiring to represent athletes (vill.edu)."

Abstract
Many agents of socialization are factors in socialization process. The family, education, and consumerism are considered to be some of the most important contributors. This paper explores the uniqueness of these agents in two different countries, Japan and the United States. Findings indicate that vastly different perceptions of the value of individualism and collectivism have a significant impact on the socialization practices for children in Japan and the United States. American practices focus on development of individualism, and those of Japan emphasize the development of group consciousness and strong interpersonal bonds.
From the Paper
"The family is the most important influence in the socialization of children and for teaching them gender roles and other behavioral norms. Japanese concepts of family diverge greatly from those in the United States (Dolan and Worden, 1994). The Japanese divorce rate, although increasing slowly was only 1.3 per 1,000 marriages in 1987, is low by American standards. Strong gender roles remain the cornerstone of Japanese family responsibilities. Family life in Japan emphasizes parent-child ties over husband-wife relations. In America, the bulk of childrearing and domestic labor is also borne by women (Smock and Noonan, 2003)."

Managers and Change Agents, 2008.
An analysis of the need for change within organizations and managers' roles in facilitating that change.

Abstract
This paper discusses the four functions of management: planning, organizing, leading and controlling. It specifically focuses on the need for change within organizations. The paper describes the benefits of change within organizations and looks at the ways in which managers can help to facilitate the smooth transition to change among employees.
From the Paper
"An organization has its own personality or culture. This can be the generator of force for change. Needs within the organization stimulate change, these are internal forces of change. New strategy, new technology, and change in employee attitudes, are internal factors that create change. New equipment can create the need for change within the workplace. The staff will need to learn how to use the equipment, and may affect duties required of them. New company strategies, may also involve change in management practices, agreements, and relations. Employee attitudes, in the case of job dissatisfaction, poor team spirit, lack of commitment and job insecurity, can create the need for new company strategies. External forces affecting an organization create threats and opportunities. These external forces are apparent in an organizations external environment, and may include political, legal, technological, and economic dimensions."

"NUTRITION & CANCER
Introduction
"Inhibition of human breast cancer cell proliferation and delay of mammary tumorigenesis by flavonoids and citrus juices" by So, Guthrie, Chambers, Moussa, and Carroll (1996) reports that in women from developed countries, breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer; incidence is increasing worldwide at an average rate of approximately two percent annually. Chemotherapeutic techniques fail to reduce death rates from cancers of the breast, lung, brain, colon, prostate, ovary, and pancreas. Studies on diet and cancer offer information regarding naturally occurring anticancer agents. Research concludes that plant-based diets with whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables reduce risk of cancer. Carotenes and antioxidant vitamins may act as anticancer ..."

Cancer and Nutrition, 2002.
This paper discusses that proper nutrition and diet can help control, and in some instances, prevent cancer.
5,377 words (approx. 21.5 pages), 9 sources, APA, $ 132.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper states that diet can affect the development of cancer: The food itself may contain cancer-causing agents or carcinogens, and the intestinal bacteria undergo mutation because of diet and in mutated form may activate or produce carcinogens from the ingested food or bile acids. This paper explains that poor nutrition adversely affects all components of the immune system, which is associated with cancer. The author believes that different studies have found different results, and the resulting plethora of information can be organized to support almost any desired diet.

From the Paper
"Protein is receiving a lot of attention right now due to the quick weight loss success resulting from a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet. And like most forms of "extreme dieting," dieting that maximizes the ingestion of one specific food or food group and minimizes another, this diet is not healthy. Whether research linking high animal fat to a higher incidence of certain types of cancer is accurate, an excessive amount of protein can result in affects just as adverse as those resulting from a minimal amount of protein."

Abstract
The onset of cancer has been linked to diet in various ways, and certain foods are seen as contributing to the development of cancer cells in the human being. At the same time, the specific relationship between diet and cancer remains largely unproved at this time, though because of news reports of new cancer-causing agents week after week, the public may believe that our diets are loaded with cancer-causing contaminants.

At the same time, the specific relationship between diet and cancer remains largely unproved at this time, though because of news reports of new cancer-causing agents week after week, the public may believe that our diets are loaded with cancer-causing contaminants. One substance ingested by many that has been found to contribute to increased cancer risk is alcohol when consumed at a high rate, and alcohol consumption is associated with about three percent of the cancers in this country. Heavy drinkers show an increased incidence of cancers of the liver, pancreas, esophagus, larynx, mouth, and throat. As little as one or two drinks a day several times a week contributes to a ..."

Laryngeal Cancer, 2008.
Describes laryngeal cancer or cancer of the larynx, which is generally squamous cell carcinoma.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that laryngeal cancer is cancer of the larynx or voice box, which is essential for normal vocal production. The paper describes several types of degrees of laryngectomy, the complete or partial removal of the larynx, which is usually performed to contain and stop the cancer from metastasizing to other cells. The paper then explains that, in addition to regular post surgical care, a speech pathologist should be included in the treatment team as soon as possible. The speech pathologist helps the patient learn to communicate, provides counseling and gives emotional support. Several illustrations are included with the paper.
From the Paper
"It is the responsibility of the speech language pathologist to be the main intermediary between the patient and communication, postoperatively, as speech pathologists seek to help the patient learn effective communication in whatever manner possible so the individual may gain as close to pre-surgical communication effectiveness as possible. This means that the speech pathologist is responsible for training the individual on devices, pneumonic and electric as well as helping the individual to use pneumonic devices for communication and or teaching the individual a greater expression of sign language development."
