Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the question over who should care for children is once again being debated throughout North America, with many advocating that very young children be raised with either their mothers or a close member of the family instead of attending child care centers. The writer discusses research indicating that the poor quality of care given in existing centers throughout the United States is the reason for problems within the classroom, as children who attend these care centers are believed to have both development and social problems. The writer concludes that the important point of the debate over child care should be how to ensure quality care for children whose parents have to work, or have chosen to work, through understanding and enabling effective and positive child development and growth within center-based childcare.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The changes in society over the past few decades have completely transformed the contemporary world, mainly through the consequences of warfare and the recent advancements in technology, which has also changed the lives of women. Accounting for almost half of the nation's workforce, a vast majority of them either are already mothers or will be, which means that something needs to be done about the childcare situation in America. Although center-based childcare is not, perhaps, the ideal situation for mothers and their children, most parents have little choice."

Managed Care and the Care of Suicidal Patients, 2001.
Takes a look at the managed care health system and how it affects the care of suicidal patients.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses managed care, which is a system where health insurers closely monitor patients' treatments and restrict their insurance benefits to cover only services that the insurer judges to be "medically necessary." This system has had an important effect on the care of suicidal patients. This paper looks at these effects and evaluates their effectiveness.
From the Paper
"Managed care treatments are designed to help people move through their current crisis and restore them to their previous level of function, and the managed care companies ask that the patient's treatment focus on the objective signs of impairment that the patient presents."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the quality of care delivered by various forms of managed care organizations and fee-for-service organizations as reported by numerous recent studies.
From the Paper
"There is a current climate of distrust and frustration with managed care which has led many people to question whether health maintenance organizations (HMOs) and other forms of managed care really are looking out for the best interests of their patients. Managed care plans have incentives in place which reward physicians and other health service providers for providing fewer services or less costly solutions. With American society?s negative feelings toward managed care medical practices, questions about the quality of care provided by various managed care institutions have been raised. The fact that managed care enrollment has been increasing while at the same time growth in total healthcare expenditures has been declining only serves to increase the frequency of questions about the quality of healthcare provided by managed care organizations. This paper will focus on the quality of care delivered by various forms of managed care organizations and fee-for-service organizations as reported by numerous recent studies."

Abstract
This paper investigates the role of primary care nurse practitioners in respect to health care and health care reform. The failure of primary healthcare is critically assessed, in the respect that health care is currently "managed" by independent "for- profit" organizations, where there is an emphasis on financial success rather than patient welfare. This paper also places a strong emphasis on the role of nurse care practitioners in the state of Florida and in community health care clinics.

Abstract
This paper examines and provides information on the roles and responsibilities that health care managers are tasked to accomplish in today?s health care systems. Moreover, this paper examines how a health care manager's job as a leader who ensures a smooth and organized management and operation of health organizations, influences his/her perspective on health care professions. The paper emphasizes the importance of understanding how health care managers perceive their duties in health care service.
From the Paper
"The basic role every manager must be able to render is the task of providing good human relations to everyone at work. Through this role, the objective of accomplishing jobs in an environment where good work relationship is maintained can be made possible. In the field of health care, healthcare managers must have the ability to perform this basic responsibility. A healthcare manager should be a specialist in managing the condition of the healthcare staffs. Though this duty may be perceived as a simple task, it is critical that a good human resource management be delivered to a health organization to ease the stress and pressure that health care providers, such as the doctors and nurses, experience from their duties."

Primary Health Care, Primary Nursing, and Primary Care, 2005.
A comparison of primary health care physicians and primary nurses.

Abstract
Nursing care was developed, in part, to provide services to patients with multiple needs and evolved with the initial goals of providing efficient and effective care. Among the delivery systems used to provide this care include primary nursing, primary care, and primary health care. Primary nursing originated in the United States and emerged because of concern about the fragmented care patients were receiving particularly in hospital settings. Primary health care follows many of the same principles and is concerned with providing comprehensive, individualized, patient care from point of contact to completion. Primary care may be defined as a service provided by primary nurses and primary health care physicians. The similarities and differences between these concepts are explored in detail.
From the Paper
"According to Sergei Vinogradov (2002) primary health care or PHC is "based on family health teams, working in family health centers" whose goals include prioritizing prevention and addressing 90% of health problems and patient concerns (p.39). In primary health care systems, doctors bear the brunt of the responsibility, sometimes at the expense of efficiency according to some critics (Vinogradov, 2002). PHC teams are comprised of many individuals including medicine doctors, nurses and other relevant health professionals, but it is the doctor (usually a family doctor) that bears the brunt of accountability and responsibility in terms of patient care (Vinogradov, 2002).
Primary health care is often provided in a managed care setting which requires that a centralized medical decision be made by a primary care physician, thus enhancing according to some the 'attractiveness' of care, suggesting it is quality oriented and scientifically based (Brekke, et. al, 2002). Primary health care usually is offered in hospitals and primary medical offices, less so in community based settings."

Abstract
This paper presents the findings of the author's research on immigration and migration in America in the 1920s. The paper attempts to describe the impact these immigrants and migrants of the 1920s had on America then and how those same immigrant and migrant movements continue to impact America today.
From the Paper
"For example, Russia suffered over 2 billion casualties of WWI and their internal revolution while America had only an estimated 326,000 casualties while at the same time the nation's GDP and economy became a boom. Although there were obviously some lean times in America, the situation was far better than that of the European Continent. Historians have found records from Vienna Austria that prove that bread rations for that city's citizens was only four ounces 4 per week. "

Should Canada Close its Borders to Migrants?, 2000.
This paper argues that Canada must reform its immigration laws. The writer focuses on the topic of migrants and the necessity of Canada to keep the border open.

Abstract
This paper develops the argument that Canada's current immigration laws do not work and closing its borders to migrants would not evoke a positive response for the national interest of Canada. The writer argues that the international image of Canada in the global village of civilized and humanitarian nations depends upon its accessibility to foreigners.
From the Paper
"Does it follow then that Canada must admit anyone or everyone who calls at our doorsteps for entrance irrespective of our own national interest priorities. Again, the enlightened approach to the issue would be to admit those that are deemed to be able to serve our national interest, as the current Canadian federal immigration regulation would have implied. Or to grant entrance to victims of political oppression in their homeland by brutal authoritarian regimes or permit foreign migrants to stay here on human rights and compassionate grounds, such is the strategic orientation of our federal refugee programme."

Abstract
The paper discusses the emergence of a new generation of Glasgow painters, known under the name of "New Glasgow Boys." The paper speaks of one of these artists, Steven Campbell and his painting "In Defence of Migrants," The paper comments on how the human figure is presented, first within a background of confusion and uncertainty, then in a direct and forceful expression of emotion as well as an intense theatricality, and finally in relationship with nature itself, a relationship which defines his own human condition.
From the Paper
"The first and most obvious characteristic of Campbell's Painting on Defence of Migrants is its formal density which demonstrates, alongside with an intensity of creative imagination, a great sense of confusion. The artist's extravert approach to figure painting results in a large number of details. We, as spectators, are confronted with a multiplicity of frames which successively surround the picture and lead our eye to the moon, the focus point in terms of the organisation of space. On the left, there are also trees and rocks on which the pale-skinned 'migrants' sit. On the extreme right, a strange man with his head lit up, as if ecstatic, and a hunter brandishing a rifle, ready to shoot. Going further 'inside' the picture, we see, on the left, a multitude of people walking, apparently migrating like birds, in the shade of the characters who sit in the foreground, but somehow connected to them. Looking in the right-hand side, we can behold, once more, conifers and rocks and a waterfall, which salmons are swimming up, going down the valley and leading our eye further into the picture. In the background, we see mountains, the shadows of which stand out against the all too dark and cloudy sky. However, despite the large number of frames in the picture, one thing comes as a unifier and gives the viewer the feeling of space, which is the birds, of all species, from wild ducks to nocturnal birds of prey. The latter, alongside the salmons swimming up the waterfall, the dog and the shrews in the bottom right-hand corner, gives us a powerful impression of the presence of natural fauna. Thus, all these closely-worked surfaces and almost impenetrable tangle of forms may belong to reality. Yet, the overall sense of density and confusion along with the almost exaggerated symmetry of the composition--the two trees on the foreground, the incline of the outline of the rocks, etc.--develop into an anachronistic world which is both strange and familiar. On the other hand, the figures on the foreground, which just look like characters from a novel, even a fairy tale, are subjected to the arbitrary disposition of the surreal. Indeed, there appear, in the sky and the clouds, the distinct figures of hunters... The universe we are confronted to belongs to neither fact nor fiction and makes the frame for the play which is on."

Early Migrants to the Americas, 2000.
An examination of the evidence indicating three waves of migration across the Bering Strait after the Pleistocene era.

From the Paper
"It has become commonplace to accept that humans came to the New World from Asia across the Bering Strait. It has also become commonly accepted that the people who crossed this strait were in fact Homo sapiens sapiens (and not some earlier form of the species) and that they did not begin this migration before the terminal Pleistocene era.
These assumptions are based upon a number of aspects of the archaeological and biological record. The lack of human skeletal remains in the New World before the end of the Pleistocene sets the period before which migration seems unlikely to have occurred. The biological connections between the peoples of Asia and the native peoples of the Americas suggest that at one time these groups formed a common and united gene pool. And the fact that dental variation in the Americas is less than that in Asia..."

From the Paper
"A critical factor affecting access to necessary health care for HIV/AIDS patients is health care insurance coverage. Approximately 60-percent of the American population is covered by private health care insurance programs (Congressional Budget Office, 1999). Most of these programs?the very great majority?are either fully or partly funded by employers, while the remainder of such programs is funded fully by the covered individuals and families. For the remaining 40 percent of the population, the delivery of health care services is dealt with in a variety of ways, as follows: (1) for approximately 25 percent of the population, health care services are funded by the federal government, primarily through the Medicaid and Medicare programs; (2) approximately five-percent of the population, both individuals and families, who for whatever reason do not choose to contract for health care insurance, are in the financial position to pay for health care services at the time of delivery; and (3) approximately 10 percent of the population defer health care services to the point where they can non longer be deferred, at which time they typically enter the health care system as emergency patients (Congressional Budget Office, 1999). As emergency patients, their care is more expensive than it would have been if treated earlier, and the care is either (1) paid by government or charity or (2) results in charges to the patients and their families that they seldom have any hope of ever paying. In the latter case, caregivers, typically public hospitals, must absorb the losses.
When all is said and done, approximately 12 percent of the country?s population is without any formal health care insurance coverage (Minahan, 1999; Rosen, Fanshel, & Lutz, 1999), although some estimates of this proportion are higher. Further, in most cases, such individuals are not in a financial position to fund such services as required. With the size of the American population established at approximately 273 million by the 1999 census estimate (Population Reference Bureau, 2000), the 12 percent without formal health care insurance translates into approximately 33 million people."
