Abstract
This study attempts to prove the hypothesis that the maintaining factor in many patients' idiopathic musculoskeletal pain (MSP) syndromes can be linked to an imbalance in the pelvic structures. The paper further attempts to determine whether poor physical therapeutic outcome measures could be directly related to this pelvic imbalance and what sort of treatment must be undertaken in order to improve therapeutic outcomes. The paper concludes that improved treatment outcomes for patients with MSP syndromes can best be achieved by providing global treatment through an integrated model that incorporates myofascial and joint manipulation and the establishment of optimal pelvic functional balance.

"Troyanovich states normal erect human posture under the control of static equilibrium, dictates a true vertical spine in the anterioposterior and lateral views. In the lateral view, normal posture is defined as balance about a coronal line of gravity line that passes through the external auditory meatus, a point just anterior to the acromioclavicular joint, while slightly posterior to the centre of the knee and through the lateral melleoli and talus of the ankle joints."

From the Paper
"As China's economy continues to grow at an unprecedented rate, there exists a pressing issue that has been overshadowed by optimism of China's future. Like China's GDP growth, China's imbalanced sex-ratio has also unprecedented highs. If not handled properly, this issue poses a serious problem for the future of China's stability and growth, especially regarding politics, society, and economics."
"The sex-ratio at birth is defined as the number of males born divided by the number of females born. Most modern societies have a SRB of around 105. This means that for every 100 females born, there are roughly 105 males born . This "natural" rate is mostly because females have higher survival rates than males, especially in modern societies. In other words, males have more age related deaths than females . China, on the other hand is experiencing a demographic phenomenon with sex-ratios of up to 120 in certain provinces."

Theories of Regional Imbalance, 2002.
A look at theories of regional imbalance: Innis' Staples Theory & Liberal Staples Theory.

Abstract
This paper discusses that relational approaches to thinking about regional disparities or imbalances include dependency theory, Neo-Marxism, the Hinterlanders' theory, and early Canadian economic history and political sociology, especially the theories of Fowke and Innis. All of these theories stress that regions are defined in relation to one another, discover that regions and regional imbalances are historically produced (they exist as a result of historical economic/social/political interactions) and that they consequently change over time.

Abstract
The following paper addresses how the geographical distance between urban centers and parkland can very easily hurt the latter insofar as it makes it more difficult for people to visit such areas (largely because of the cost and inconvenience). A second matter addressed in the paper also considers the factors which determine activity selection and argues that age is the greatest single factor in the recreational pursuits people pursue.
From the Paper
"One of the most important considerations when examining the impact of geography upon human behaviour is the role of propinquity. That is to say, people tend to frequent the places that are nearest where they live. Suffice it to say, one of the problems confronting the National Park System in Canada (especially Western Canada) is that many of these parks are not located near major urban centers."

Effort-Reward Imbalance, 2006.
An in-depth analysis of role of negative effectivity in the work stress process.

Abstract
This study investigates two hypotheses related to effort-reward imbalance (ERI). The paper discusses the role of negative effectivity in the work stress process. It analyzes the reverse causation theory, that argues that people with high negative effectivity such as anger, are cynical towards their work environment because they tend to focus on the negative aspects of their world. It then compares this to the idea that the work environment itself can increase the negative effectivity or trait emotions of individuals.
From the Paper
"However, the results did not support the hypothesis that the anger expression variables of anger in and anger out would mediate the relationship between trait anger and CVD symptoms. The SES indicator variable 'average salary' had a significant negative association with trait anger and an indirect association with CVD symptoms in the model. The results indicated that a person with a lower average yearly salary might have an increased chance of experiencing high trait anger and CVD symptoms. These results also support other research linking low SES to CVD (Kuper et al., 2002)."

From the Paper
" The purpose of this paper is to discuss the widening trade deficit between the United States and Japan and to analyze some of the misunderstandings and Japanese cultural elements leading to problems in economic relations. Also, we will look at contradictory Japanese attitudes and some of the historical roots of the problem.
A creditor nation is one whose investments abroad exceed the size of foreign investments in its own economy. A debtor nation is one that owes foreigners more than the sum of its own assets abroad. Creditor nations have a great deal of leverage over those to whom they lend their money; debtor nations often become subservient to the interests of their creditors.
Japan replaced the United States as the world's leading creditor in 1986. The scope of recent Japanese capital outflows.."

Abstract
This paper discusses pelvic inflammatory disease, a highly transmittable and serious condition, which requires timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment. The paper contends that delayed diagnosis and treatment will result in poor prognosis and serious complications, such as infertility and chronic pelvic pain. The paper presents suggestions to prevent this disease. While research is still underway in developing good diagnostic and effective treatment methods, the paper recommends a common sense approach to contain the spread of the disease would be to maintain sexual hygiene and follow precautionary measures.
From the Paper
"Antibiotics constitute the mainstay treatment for pelvic inflammatory disease. Treatment for PID presents two main problems. First, obtaining the specimens from the upper genital tracts is difficult. Second, the infection may be attributed to multiple pathogenic agents all of which may not respond to a prescribed medication. Physicians in general prescribe a combination of antibiotics to fight the infection. Cefoxitin, Clindamycin, Ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin and ampicillin are some of the commonly prescribed antibiotics in the treatment of PID. The safety of the drug for use during pregnancy must be ascertained before beginning the course. Also it is necessary as a preemptive measure to treat sexual partners in order to completely eliminate the possibility of reinfection. In acute cases where there is severe damage to the peritoneal tissues or bursting of abscess, surgical interventions are necessary. Intrauterine devises need to removed be in order not to increase risk of reinfection."

Abstract
This paper explores the effects of gender differentiation on education, focusing on education in the sciences. The first part of the paper looks at how women continue to fulfill most of the care giving tasks associated with domestic duties and the supportive tasks in the professional world. The next part of the paper then examines the historical imbalance between the education of boys and girls in the United States. The third section discusses how these imbalances hinder many girls and women from pursuing higher studies and careers in the sciences. The paper concludes that this imbalance in educational opportunities as well as a hostile environment are the main obstacles to women in science.
From the Paper
"Across the world, the secondary position of women in society remains a virtual constant. This preferential treatment for men is embedded in social and political structures in various countries and societies. In many societies, women are akin to property, and do not have any rights to education, inheritance or to work outside the home. In the United States, legislation geared towards non-discrimination, human rights and equal treatment have made such overt discrimination against women things of the past. However, the structures of patriarchy and the preferential treatment of men remain embedded in many social structures. Society continues to discriminate against women in many ways."

Abstract
This essay explores the disproportionate number of witchcraft accusations levelled against women during the European witch hunts. It posits that this gender imbalance is directly linked to the patriarchal nature of society by examining the definitional power of men and the subsequent perception of women. Using Jungian/ Lacanian understandings of the 'shadow' and Other, this piece has as its underlying contention that it is women's lack of power to define themselves within a patriarchal society that has led men to project their fear of self onto a woman, indeed all women, and term her 'witch'.
From the Paper
"The identity of ?woman? as it was perceived in early modern times can be further seen as a man-made myth upon closer examination of the nature of patriarchy. Man attempted to label, categorise, map and understand women, and do so with the use of male terms, but because patriarchy is a relational construct such attempts only reinforce for men that ?woman? is not ?man,? she is ?Other.? And in this position as Other, women will always retain some element of mystery, of hidden depths and secret knowledge, never greater than man, but always promising more than he is capable of comprehending. It is the impossibility of exact male knowledge that creates for man the opportunity to map his own meaning upon this depth of Otherness."

Abstract
This paper discusses fats in the diet of human beings and how they relate to cholesterol. It looks at the reasons why fats are a necessary part of our diet and also looks at the positive aspects of cholesterol. The paper then focuses on physical ailments and disorders that are associated with an imbalance in any of these. Finally, the paper discusses how we can mitigate and reverse the effects of too much fat and how to lead to a healthy diet and lifestyle.
From the Paper
"Fats are a necessary part of our diet. They are necessary for organ function, the protection of the body, and for energy storage and vitamin processing. Cholesterol is also necessary (both HDL and LDL). But, there are a host of physical ailments and disorders that are associated with an imbalance in any of these. Too little fat and the cells fail to function, too much and obesity, CVD and diabetes occur. Too little cholesterol and the body can't transport blood-borne nutrients, too much and the veins get clogged and heart attack and stroke follow. By increasing the amount of Omega-3 fatty acids and reducing saturated and trans-fats, by increasing exercise and taking beneficial supplements where appropriate, it is then possible for people to mitigate and reverse the effects of too much fat, and to lead to a healthy diet and lifestyle."

Abstract
The paper discusses America's trade imbalance with China that is fueled by China's failure to prevent copyright infringement and the sale of counterfeit goods as well as China's artificial currency devaluation. The paper also looks at the issue of Chinese spies stealing industrial secrets from American and European firms. The paper provides suggestions for improvement and argues that America needs to peacefully use their economic position to force China to compete fairly. The paper asserts that America should use legal, diplomatic and media pressure to force China to behave ethically.
From the Paper
"The United States and China have a long history of hostility and distrust. In recent years this hostility has centered on several economic issues. These include America's trade imbalance with China, a deficit fueled in part by a huge Chinese market in pirated American intellectual property and brand name knock-offs. Further, U.S. and European firms claim that Chinese industrial spies have stolen technology for products ranging from computer chips to cruise missiles."

Abstract
Voting reform in America's South has been undertaken with great seriousness over the past two decades. Many changes had been made in the years prior to that and efforts continued because blacks were still disenfranchised to a great degree, with a number of laws and practices remaining that mitigated against the black vote. The paper shows that in the last 15 years or so, efforts to increase the black vote in the South increased, along with efforts to martial that vote to elect more black representatives, with some success. The paper examines how these efforts have made considerable change, but they have not completely overcome the traditional imbalance between black and white voters nor the tendency toward non-voting common in the South and becoming more common all over the United States. The paper looks at voting laws, demographic movement and includes a table.
From the Paper
"The states in the South are primarily responsible for the low voter turnout rates, for they continually rank at or near the bottom of turnout rankings. Southern voters are influenced dramatically by various demographics which tend to lead to nonvoting, such as low incomes and low education rates. In addition, race plays a greater role in the South than in any other part of the country. As the South tries desperately to improve its economic and social conditions, voting will play a major role. Nonvoting seems to show a general disinterest in the political situation, and if minorities do not improve their voting record, one result will be that less attention is paid to the many problems of the many poor and minorities in the South. Past studies have documented that voter turnout rates are relatively lower for the South when compared to the rest of the nation, a pattern that is not due to any type of cultural difference that exists between the South and the rest of the nation but rather to demographic factors such as education, income, religion, and race (Joyce, 1998)."

From the Paper
" Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a hormonal imbalance disorder. This disorder was first described in a scientific paper published in 1931 by Dr. Robert Frank (Norris & Sullivan, 1983). It is characterized by a wide variety of emotional and physical symptoms that recur regularly at the same phase of each menstrual cycle, followed by a symptom-free phase in each cycle. Most women, perhaps 85 percent of the menstruating female population, have experienced symptoms of PMS in the days preceding their menstrual period (Norris & Sullivan, 1983). About 40 percent of all menstruating women--nearly 27 million Americans--experience fairly regular symptoms of PMS (Norris & Sullivan, 1983). For the vast majority, PMS occurs as mild (...)"
