From the Paper
"Telemedicine is perhaps one of the fastest growing revolutionary technologies after computer-based patient records. According to a recent study, telemedicine, in all likelihood worth billions of precious health care dollars along with replacing 5 % of hospital stays, 5 % of nursing home care and another 20 % of home health visits. (Dakins 1995)
The primary advantage that can be acquired through the field of telemedicine is that it allows patients and doctors to interact at a rapid speed mainly by way of computers and patient video cameras. To put it simply, physical distance between a doctor and a patient is greatly reduced as this interactive method of finding health practitioners brings the former to the patients thereby giving them a wide variety of doctors and surgeons to choose from [First Mayo Telemedicine Symposium, 1993].

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discuss of the origins, evolution and influence that paramilitary structure has had on contemporary American police agencies. The paper includes a discussion of the impact that organizational structure has on culture within a police agency, and the role paramilitary structure plays in defining and delivering police services to the community. The paper analyzes the link between communication with the public, and contemporary goals of policing. The paper concludes that the paramilitary model is likely to persist, especially in cases where law enforcement agencies must work to overcome a potentially violent or life threatening situation.

From the Paper
"Traditionally and historically police agencies have adopted a paramilitaristic approach to policing that encourages use of force to achieve one's objectives. This model relies on a hierarchical organizational structure that does not promote autonomy within the organization and allows one or more members of the organization to hold the majority of power and authority. Such models may be useful in certain situations including situations where citizens are facing life and death threats. Recent tactics involving paramilitary police models include actions taken against terrorist behaviors, including those occurring after the events of 9/11."

From the Paper
"The old saying, "It's not what you say; it's how you say it," well represents the importance of nonverbal behaviors to the emergence of leadership and the establishment of credibility. Several nonverbal behaviors can greatly increase or decrease the opportunities for emergence of leadership and credibility. Studies have explored all aspects of the link between nonverbal communication and the establishment of leadership and credibility. Nonverbal factors fit into five categories: eye contact, gesticulations, paralanguage, posture, and overall facial expression. Also, environmental factors such as seating arrangement and setting have a great effect on leadership emergence and credibility. Use of this information can be .. "

Abstract
This paper explains that, from the literature review, it is apparent that modifications made for learning disabled students in a general education, inclusive classroom may be of several types: Self-monitoring, ELO-types of teacher conduct, technology and the presence of para-educators. The author points out that, while each of these has been assessed in isolation by other researchers, it would be interesting to assess the comparative effects of each one in order to ascertain which offered the best outcome for the greatest number of students. The paper proposes the use of both quantitative and qualitative methods as well as extensive use of instructional interviews to assess students' understandings of the subject matter covered in the classroom during the modification or intervention period.

From the Paper
"Multiple researchers also found that self-monitoring procedures were easy to learn and to use, convenient for classroom use and did not require the teacher to take much time from general studies to monitor the students; in addition, it did not require the use of new instructional materials or alteration of general instructional methods. "The results of this study indicate that general academic improvements were achieved without backup consequences," although they did suggest that it was possible use of extrinsic consequences might have resulted in more consistent improvements across all subject areas. In fact, the inconsistencies in the subject matter improvement was regarded by the authors as a limitation to the study."

Abstract
This paper discusses the situation in the United States for English-language learner (ELL) and English as a second language (ESL) students. It particularly describes the effects of a lack of primary English language skills on the students in primary and secondary grades. It also discusses the effects of these students receiving much of their instruction from content-area teachers or para-educators. The paper offers brief recommendations to improve the situation for ESL and ELL students.
From the Paper
"As a result of those policies and practices, many ELLs receive much of their instruction from content-area teachers or para-educators who have not had appropriate preparation or professional development to address their second-language development needs or to make content instruction comprehensible. This situation hinders their academic success. Not only do teachers need more preparation to work with ELLs but they also need to know the type of instruction that is most effective for these students, a population whose growing numbers requires that educators take a serious look at their instructional programs. Therefore, it is evident that the best course of action is preparation. With proper preparation and understanding, teachers will be better suited to aid ELLs/ESL's.

Dental Hygiene and Professionalism, 2005.
An overview of the field of dental hygiene.

Abstract
This paper examines how dental hygiene is a field of study and practice that, in contrast to dentistry, is sometimes referred to as a para-profession in that it is regarded as not having all the attributes of a profession. While dental hygienists and commentators writing on the discipline dispute this perception, they nonetheless argue that the field of dental hygiene must address a number of issues in order to shift its popular image - as well as its mandate under the law - as a full and autonomous profession. This paper examines these issues, with a particular emphasis on an Ontario perspective, in order to explain both the current situation and the steps that must be taken for dental hygiene to progress as a profession into the future.

Abstract
This paper traces the history of infectious disease in American prisons back to the American Revolution and the containment of American soldiers by British troops on prison ships. The paper explains that during that period, the British operated 16 prison ships, which often held over 1,000 men each by 1776 (DeWan, 2006, para. 2). The American prisoners were comprised of military men and seamen that the British held as enemies to the British crown off the coast of New York and New Jersey. The prisoners, many of them wounded in battle or already infected with disease, received no medical treatment during their incarceration. Furthermore, the prisoners were held in close quarters, without sanitary conditions, allowing for the spread of disease to be imminent.

Abstract
This paper traces the history of human resource management leading to the modern day. It examines the difficulties and challenges which are faced in this profession as well as the conveniences which are experienced due to breakthroughs in technology.
From the paper:
"In today?s ever-changing business world Human Resource management is an integral part of a companies success or failure. Human Resources departments ?balance the demands of several different roles: business partner, internal consultant, operational and administrative expert and both employee and employer advocate.? (Brown, 1998, para 8)
"The modern ideas of HR management have their roots in early 20th century theorem and New Age innovation. The managing of people, as a resource vs. just personnel is an improvement pioneered in the latter half of the past century. Differing schools of thought exist on the best way to achieve HR enlightenment. Some value structures while others take a more free form approach. Whatever the dogma, the ultimate desired end result is a competitive advantage over the competition and staying power in a volatile business environment."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the various benefits of adopting a community policing approach. Community policing is considered one of the most effective strategies available to reduce neighborhood crimes, create a sense of security and reduce fear of crimes among the citizens. Combining the efforts of the police department, the members of the community and the local government can help in the accomplishment of all these objectives to develop a healthy and clean society. This paper details the history of community oriented policing (C.O.P) which has become the new model of law enforcement replacing the traditional para-military style of policing. This paper also discusses the various supporters of community policing who firmly believe that this approach has enough potential to serve as a model for remarkable reforms and improvements in the entire system of policing and justice. The writer of this paper also examines the downside to this particular approach of law enforcement. The primary reason for the failure of C.O.P in some situations is the unwillingness of the community members to cooperate with the police officials, the lack of support from the police department itself or the absence of a proper policing system.

From the Paper
"A number of studies were conducted in order to find out the cause of the problem and to define the solutions for it. Studies revealed that the traditional practice of continuous patrolling and other highly reactive approaches to combat crime has not helped in any way to reduce the crime rate prevailing in the society. These circumstances lead to the recognition on the part of the government that problems relating to crime fighting and the problems relating to the relationship between the police and the community are interrelated. In 1967, the President's commission on Law enforcement and administration of justice proposed that a new kind of police system should be introduced. In the later years this proposal provided the ground for the establishment of a new model for policing. The philosophy being adopted to develop this model was focused on creating a law enforcement system, which tries to bring the police and the general public in close relationships and provides the police department an opportunity to solve the community problems."
