Abstract
In this article, the writer points out that there are over 470,000 adolescents in the United States who are receiving special education and related services under the category of emotional disturbance, and the number is growing each year. The writer maintains that the status and trends in academic intervention research regarding students with emotional disturbance must be examined to provide teachers, parents and school administrators the opportunity to make sound, objective instructional decisions. The writer notes that the number of middle school students with emotional disturbance continues to climb each year. The writer concludes that in order to help ensure that these children achieve and maintain grade level skills, and overcome behavior that may hinder their emotional and social growth, it is important to seek some type of professional intervention.
From the Paper
"Approximately 65 percent of the some 475,000 U.S. students identified and provided special education under the category of emotional disturbance, ED, are 12 years of age and older, with the most numerous age group being 15 year olds. Adolescents with ED generally do poorly in school and thereafter, and more than half of 12-17 year old students with ED receive most of the education apart from peers without disabilities, meaning not in regular public schools, or in regular schools but out of general education classes more than 60 percent of the day. In comparison, this is true for only one sixth of adolescent students with learning disabilities."

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to describe the implementation of three distinct organization interventions within the field of business technology. Each intervention is organized under my the author's management and is directed specifically towards the creation and refinement of a proposed e-commerce website meant to market and sell our products through the Internet.

The consultation models include expert, pair-of-hands, and collaborative. Following that description, the paper then evaluates each of the interventions from the perspective of my own role as manager, assessing which would be most applicable given specific managerial skill sets.

Abstract
This paper uses the definition of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) as an umbrella term that refers to a large group of lung diseases which can interfere with normal breathing including emphysema, chronic bronchitis and chronic asthma. This paper reviews nursing interventions such as COPD education, exercises of upper and lower extremities, breathing exercises and psychosocial support. The author concludes that the nurse should do a thorough assessment of the patient?s physical and psychological status and that there are several interventions from which nurses can select, thus the patient need not be restricted to any one particular type of intervention.

From the Paper
"In terms of interventions to prevent post-operative complications in COPD patients, the first step that must be taken is a complete assessment of the patient. This assessment is most likely best accomplished by using Gordon?s (1998) Function Health Pattern classification for assessment developed for The North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA). What Gordon (1998) observed is that a diagnosis is a conceptual model for interpreting a set of observations in order to provide organization for understanding these observations as they relate to diagnosis of any kind."

The paper also suggests that personality changes can be affected through psychotherapeutic interventions. However, the paper concludes that more and better controlled studies are needed to justify the claim.

From the Paper
"This paper explores the literature and arguments surrounding the U.S. led intervention into Iraq, with justifications offered for an international intervention into Darfur Sudan today. The question posed is whether the conditions in Iraq leading up to U.S. intervention are comparable to those in Darfur currently and therefore whether they require similar armed military intervention. The paper concludes that the situations are dissimilar and only the conditions in Darfur mandate and authorize intervention. To answer the question the paper looks at the ... "

This paper provides a critique of the article "The Effectiveness of Social

Abstract
In this paper the writer notes that the article analyzed is an examination of previous studies that were conducted to determine the effectiveness of social marketing interventions on the healthcare industry. The writer points out that this report uses information from the other reviews and studies to operationally define social marketing and support the hypothesis that social marketing interventions are a successful tool in improving the general health and awareness of individuals. The writer concludes that the information in the article is geared toward a general hypothesis that social marketing intervention is a positive technique to the health care industry but the information presented is simply a summary of a review.
From the Paper
"The second was a review of studies and literature on the subject of physical activity and social marketing interventions. Twenty-two studies were included for comparison; of that, eight reported a positive overall effect. The third and final review consisted of substance misuse interventions. Thirty-five substance misuse interventions were identified for analysis including smoking prevention, alcohol prevention and illicit drug use. Smoking prevention studies showed an overall positive effect while alcohol prevention studies exhibited mixed results depending on the study examined. According to the researchers, social interventions can have an overall positive effect on smoking and alcohol use and illicit drug use prevention."
"While the researchers examined a vast amount of original and secondary research, the information is somewhat vague and does not clearly define the implications and complete findings of each of the studies. Essentially, this article provides a review of studies already completed and compares those to another set of criteria."

Abstract
This paper evaluates an effective method for an intervention in a school setting. Here, an administrator, the school principal, is assisting with a first-year teacher who is having trouble teaching reading to his 3rd- grade classroom. Based on research supporting proactive principals, and "career-ladder" programs in organizations, this essay discusses a mentorship-based intervention that assists the new teacher in developing his reading curriculum, and as well in providing the mentor-teacher with career incentives for his/her participation in the apprenticeship. In this context, the principal is regarded as being actively involved in the school activities, in levels of staff development as well as classroom curriculum.

Summary & Conclusion
From the Paper
"Social intervention includes teaching the child how to start a conversation and how to reply to others as well as how to close a conversation. Children with ASD need practice with social skills much the same as other students need to practice math or writing. The provision of step-by-steep instructions and exercises greatly assist the ASD child. Role-playing social interactions through use of a script with simple steps assist the ASD child in social interactions. Identification of opportunities that the ASD child can work in collaboration with another student is a great method for teaching social skills to the ASD child. The ASD child's effort may be offered support through designation of a helper and teaching the ASD child to become aware of the thoughts and feelings of others is very important."

From the Paper
"... delineates the conception of just and unjust wars and states that no war can be just on both sides, though a war can be unjust on both sides. In general, war is unjust for the one at fault and just for the defender against aggression. ... indicates how the legalist paradigm of aggression has been used to differentiate between the two, between the just and the unjust war. This paradigm begins with the domestic analogy which holds that aggression is the international equivalent of armed robbery or murder. ... points out that international society is and is not like domestic relationships, but to the degree that it is like domestic relationships, the legalist paradigm may suffice to demonstrate who is at fault. International aggression is worse than domestic crime because the threat is so much greater and there is no policeman to act as protector."

Abstract
This fifteen page paper compares the American led intervention in Iraq in 2003 with arguments in favor of international intervention into the Darfur region of Sudan. This provides a useful framework within which to analyze cynical Bush Administration motivations, for researching this issue exposes the hypocritical foundation upon which George W. Bush's foreign policy rests. Examining such a research question provides the writer with a forum in which the differences between the Iraq intervention and the potential Darfur intervention may be compared.
From the Paper
"Comparing the American led intervention in Iraq in 2003 with arguments in favor of international intervention into the Darfur region of Sudan is a useful framework within which to analyze cynical Bush Administration motivations, for researching this issue exposes the hypocritical foundation upon which George W. Bush's foreign policy rests. Examining such a research question provides a forum in which the differences between the Iraq intervention and the potential Darfur intervention, and their respective justifications, can be compared from an objective perspective."

"Nursing Interventions to Prevent Postoperative Complications in Copd Patients
Introduction
Madison, and Irwin (1998) define Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) as a sort of umbrella term that refers to a large group of lung diseases which can interfere with normal breathing. In their discussion of the various illnesses that are associated with the condition, COPD Support (2001), notes that there are three basic conditions which COPD patients can suffer from: emphysema (the progressive destruction of the grape-like sacs that exchange oxygen in the air for carbon dioxide); chronic bronchitis; and chronic asthma. Not all patients have all three conditions, although a few do.

Abstract
Within the context of multi-disciplinary practice, relevant legislation and social policy, this essay outlines and evaluates two methods of intervention applicable to working with children and young people with a mental health disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). The methods of intervention that are outlined and evaluated are cognitive behavioural therapy and opportunity led work. The essay also addresses the challenges inherent in practicing across different value bases and theoretical understandings of the medical and social model of mental health. Throughout the essay, an awareness of oppressive and discriminatory practice is present.
From the Paper
"There are two theoretical perspectives to take into consideration when working with people with mental health issues; the medical model and the social model. The medical model has a broad application however it does originally sit in the field of medicine. The medical model follows a general series of events; diagnosis stage, prescriptive stage and curative stage. The diagnostic stage is when the individual goes to see the professional, be it a doctor or a psychologist. The prescriptive stage is when the individual describes what is wrong with them or explains what is happening to them. The curative stage is the resolution stage where the professional attempts to find a solution to the problem. The medical model does not take into consideration any external forces such as family or social networks when dealing with the individual whereas the social model is based on these external influences on the individual. The medical model is defined by a set medical framework and this then defines how the individual will be viewed, this differs from social work as the interventions are always client led."
