Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses Ida J. Orlando who is the founder of the nursing process theory of providing patient care. The writer explains that Orlando developed her theory in the 1950s from her own work as a nurse and her observations of other health care practitioners in her field. The writer notes that Orlando attempted to provide a practical and realistic method to approach nursing in a variety of settings and stated that every good nurse must ask him or herself, what is the patient's true medical need. The writer concludes that although Orlando could never have predicted the levels of bureaucracy of health care today, her theories finally provide a guide to deal with patients who are frustrated both with their illness and the system and may take out their rage on nursing staff, when they are really expressing a cry for psychological and physical help.
From the Paper
"Patients are not always certain what type of help they truly need. For example, an elderly patient may complain of chest pains and fear he or she is having a heart attack. The nurse, upon examining the patient with his or her trained perceptions realizes that the patient is suffering gastric distress and heartburn from a heavy hospital meal. Upon speaking with the patient, the nurse realizes that the patient's anxiety arises from being in an unfamiliar hospital environment which has exacerbated the physical complaints arising from the patient's consumption of food that is too spicy for his or her stomach. The nurse can provide emotional comfort to the patient as well as knowledge the patient's real distress, and can address both the physical needs of the patient (request a different diet) and also emotional needs (ask if the patient's family is able to visit during hospital hours)."

From the Paper
"Glenn, Brown, and O'Leary (1998) conducted an experimental study to find and develop crops which could be irrigated by seawater. As the population of the earth increases, the production of food becomes more and more of a problem in order to feed this growing number of people. One of the specific problems facing agriculturalists is the need for water. Fresh water is needed not only for irrigation but also for other human activities, and there is no process that is effective enough at desalinization to provide the volume of water human beings need. The authors also note that the top five plants eaten by people cannot tolerate salt, and these are wheat, corn, rice, potatoes, and soybeans. Since finding enough land and water to produce the foods needed by the world is an urgent problem, the authors ask how the supply of food can be augmented. They answer that one ..."

"The effect of communication coupled with the intuition that nurses are allowed to use according to Orlando?s theory demonstrates the autonomy that nurses have been presented with in contemporary times. However, it should also be realized that nurses need to be careful when deciding upon treatments, especially in emergency situations, as these can be a matter of life or death for some patients."

Abstract
This paper provides an analysis of the character of J. Alfred Prufrock in T.S. Eliot's poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock". The paper depicts Prufrock's fears, insecurities and views in the society he lives in and uses quotes and lines from the poem to support the analysis.
From the Paper
"J. Alfred Prufrock, the main character in the poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", by T.S. Eliot, appears to be an unhappy man aware of his weaknesses and riddled with self doubts. Prufrock is portrayed as someone who is in despair and helpless. He feels as if he has never accomplished anything in his life and is painfully aware of his failures: "For I have known them all already, known them all:/ Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,/ I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;/ I know the voices dying with a dying fall/ Beneath the music from a farther room/ So how should I presume?" (Eliot, 1917, Lines 55-60). This awareness of his failures is what puts Prufrock in despair: "But though I have wept and fasted, wept and prayed,/ Though I have seen my head [grown slightly bald] brought in upon a platter,/ I am no prophet-and here's no great matter." (Eliot, 1917, Lines 87-89). He mocks himself for being too weak and too helpless to turn his life around. This very helplessness fills him with panic and despair: "When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall,/ Then how should I begin/ To spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways?/ And how should I presume?" (Eliot, 1917, Lines 64-67). Prufrock, to put it bluntly, is clueless on how to start over and to pick up the pieces. He perceives himself as doomed to his fate: "Till human voices wake us, and we drown." (Eliot, 1917, Line 138), "I do not think they will sing to me." (Eliot, 1917, Line 131)."

?Orlando?, 2002.
A paper which studies the issue of gender in Virginia Woolf's novel, "Orlando".

Abstract
This paper gives an indepth analysis of the character Orlando in Virginia Woolf's novel of the same name. It explores this fantastical, amusing hero-ine and describes him as one of the most unique characters in the history of fiction. The paper describes how Orlando observes none of the boundaries of sex and age: a young boy/man and poet, Orlando is only sixteen on page one and all of thirty-six at the end of the novel, even though he has lived through four centuries and undergone a sex change into a woman halfway through the book. The paper shows how Orlando is also endowed with charm, aristocratic lineage and wealth?and thus Woolf concentrates solely on the issues of gender, apart from age, status, and poverty. The paper explores how Orlando lives through the centuries, defies all labels, loves and dallies with both women and men. Orlando is impossible to define by any of our most cherished notions of sex, gender and identity.
From the Paper
"This novel makes us playfully question the whole notion of stable gender identity. In every person we meet, vacillation between male and female keeps occurring. Orlando is in part a comic novel, one that keeps us laughing over gender mixups. When Orlando first undergoes a sex change and arrives home a woman, his housekeeper keeps gasping, ?Milord! Milady! Milady! Milord!? (p. 169).
At the same time, Orlando asks very real and difficult questions about gender. For instance, the 19th century biographical style was dominated by male authors, and women in the Victorian era tended to write poetry or novels. Biographies were, like all things male, meant to be action oriented. ?Where there is blood there is life??and the proper subject of biography is life itself, and blood, whether in wars or conflicts. Women are not the proper subject of biography and history, if they don?t do something important enough?such as killing?why should they be written about? A woman?s name appears in the news three times in her life: birth, wedding, and death."

Abstract
Origins
Osama Bin Laden
From the Paper
"A crucial part of the history of Al Qa'ida is that the fight against the Soviet Union was not conducted in conventional terms, but was seen as a holy war against the aggressor. This resulted in volunteers and supporters from throughout the Muslim world rallying to the call. Furthermore, the resistance experience fused together Islamic fighters from a wide range of backgrounds and views to create the central kernel of the new organization. "Muslims from Algeria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Southeast Asia, and beyond fought side by side, forging relationships and creating a cadre of veterans who shared a powerful life experience, a more global view,..."

Summary
From the Paper
"Al Qa'ida, which means the "Foundation "or the "Base" in Arabic, is the general name given to this organization, which is seen as a worldwide or transnational network or alliance of militant Islamic organizations. (Wikipedia: Al Qa'ida) However there are some disparities and ambiguities that must be mentioned in relation to the naming of this organization. Firstly, the name "al-Qa'ida", while a recognized name within the popular mind, is a designation that the organization does not often use to identify itself. Furthermore, the origins of the name is disputed in some quarters and "some allege it was coined by the United States government based on the name of a computer file of Bin Laden's that listed the names of contacts he had made at the MAK in the Bait al-Ansar guesthouse during the late 1980s." ( ibid) The name, which refers to the training camp for the militants, has however become the common designation for the organization."

Abstract
This paper discusses Orlando's theory which focuses on the interaction between the nurse and patient, verification, and the use of the nursing process for the sake of positive outcomes or patient improvement. Olson and Hanchett (1997) maintain that their research provides support for Orlando's theory. This paper investigates how exactly these researchers applied the theory. The main concern is to learn if the theory is used in a balanced way. The paper first describes Orlando's theory with emphasis on the four main nursing concepts of person, health, nursing, and environment.

?The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", 2002.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the poem, ?The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", by T.S. Eliot. It shows how, by beginning the poem with a quote from ?Dante?s Inferno?, Eliot hints that Prufrock?s agony will be spiritual in nature, but he does not reveal that right away. It analyzes how J. Alfred Prufrock views his life as a kind of Hell on Earth, full of dirt created by mankind, and an unspoken agreement in society to make no note of it. It looks at how Eliot creates image after image that could have been beautiful, or at least intriguing, and casts them in an ugly, yellow light. It also shows how the poem contains images of modern society, overbuilt and in an ugly state, and how, with the combination of air pollution and fog, it gives a very negative result of the modernization of cities.
From the Paper
"He backs down. He goes through the social niceties, dressing well and following the conventions of the day, making polite small talk at tea, but is too cowardly to speak out when in polite company about the damage they are doing to God?s beautiful world. He sees this as a great sin, one he will have to atone for in the next life. The use of the word ?ices? is intriguing, because lemon ice is a common flavor, and that would bring the color yellow back into his admission that he is not willing to challenge society by bringing up issues they would rather not face. He hears people talk about the beauty of Michelangelo and listen to great music, but he does not hear them say ?Why has the fog turned yellow??"

T.S. Elliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", 2000.
A comparison of several of Emily Dickinson's poem's to "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", by T. S. Eliot.
770 words (approx. 3.1 pages), 0 sources, MLA, £ 19.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper looks at the strong contrast between "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" and the social commentary in Emily Dickinson?s poems, notably 67, 249, 254, 505, and 712. The uncertainties of social standing that plague the character J. Alfred Prufrock are contrasted with Dickinson's resolve of these issues in her own life. A distinction is also drawn between their outlook and view of themselves in society and their ultimate happiness. The paper proposes that Dickinson?s poems answer the questions Prufrock poses regarding his inability to take action.
From the Paper
"At the beginning of the poem, Prufrock shows the woman he is with a sunset, comparing it to ?a patient etherised upon a table? (3). This instantly creates an unsettling mood of social insecurities. Dickinson also uses ether as a metaphor, writing that she ?would rather be the One/ Raised softly to the Ceilings-/ And out, and easy on-/ Through Villages of Ether-? (505, 10-13). While Dickinson embraces this ethereal sleep, Prufrock eschews such intoxication. Prufrock?s sterile use of the word is indicative of his staid, passive lifestyle."
