Abstract
This paper examines how in his article Legal Aid Delivery Models in Canada: Past Experience and Future Developments", Albert Currie delivers a succinct overview of the history and issues pertaining to Canadian legal aid delivery models over the last twenty years, as well as an indication of current trends. It looks at how Currie shows that the debate over service delivery models is not simply a matter of discussing the relative technical, administrative and costing aspects of different systems.

Abstract
There are a number of different interventions available to the speech-language specialist. All interventions have their benefits, but not to all students. Because of the many models available, however, the speech-language specialist should be able to find one that meshes with his or her working style and is beneficial to his or her clients. This speech-language pathology paper discusses the the pull-out intervention model and offers support for its use.
From the Paper
"At one time, speech-language specialists in a school setting worked in isolation from the rest of the teaching staff. This isolation was not merely physical; rather, the lesson plan used by the speech-language specialist existed in isolation as well. With legislation that requires integration of all subject programs--including those like speech therapy--this model of speech-language therapy delivery has changed. The number of speech-language specialists in the schools will increase, according to the U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Outlook Handbook, due to the influx of specialists coming under contract to fill these requirements (par. 22).

Abstract
This paper begins with a description of the AIDS virus and how it effects the human body and an explanation of how the virus is transmitted. The paper then examines the costs of HIV infection to the health care system and how these additional costs affect the health care delivery system in general.
From the Paper
"In 1982, a disease known as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, or AIDS, was officially recognized in the United States (Shi & Singh, 2004). Since that time, the disease has become a world-wide epidemic, with more than 830,000 cases reported in the U.S. (National Institute of Health (NIH), 2003). The disease, caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), has infected scores of people as well, with over 38 million people living with the virus worldwide in 2003. Since the first diagnosis of AIDS in 1982, over 20 million people have died worldwide (UNAIDS, 2004)."

Integrated Delivery Systems (IDS) for Healthcare, 2004.
This paper discusses an organizational model for reducing the cost of healthcare delivery: Integrated Delivery Systems (IDS).

Abstract
This paper explains that three factors led to the development of the Integrated Delivery Systems (IDS) model: A greater interplay between all the players in health care delivery, increased influence of business health groups, and the movement away from "bean counting" to risk management, early detection, and demand prevention. The author points out that Integrated Delivery Systems, no matter their specifics, are primarily for one purpose: To connect users to the information they need to do their job in the health care delivery system as quickly as possible. The paper stresses that the IDS is the best model for leaping the chasm between the ideal medical world of the clinical sector of health care and the ideal financial world of the administrative and operational sector of health care.

From the Paper
"Shortly after these changes began, ?inclusive? delivery models got underway, with early ones being physician-hospital organizations (PHOs) and integrated delivery networks (IDNs); arguably the coexistence of these led to the development of IDSs capable of operating within the four structures another researcher had identified, by 1996, as the evolving types of IDSs. These four models were HMOs, joint ventures such as Columbia/HCA, federations of community hospitals and a ?hub and spoke? arrangement bring large medical centers and nearby community hospitals into sync."

From the Paper
"With the agressive deregulation in the telecommunications industry in the United States and Europe during the early to mid-1990?s, it seemed that the local monopolies would be forced to unbundle their networks. However, MCI WorldCom, the second largest US long distance telecommunications company, announced in October 1999, that it would acquire Sprint, the third largest US long distance company, in the biggest corporate takeover in history. The merger is valued at $129 billion in cash, stock and debt. The resulting firm will be second only to AT&T in the US telecommunications industry, a company with, as of 1999, $65 billion in annual revenue, 142,000 workers and 40 million business and residential customers (McGaughlin, 1999)."

Economic Growth Models, 2004.
This paper discusses economic growth models, especially the Solow-Swan model and the New Growth Theory models.

Abstract
This paper explains that the neoclassical growth model, also known as the Solow-Swan model, was considered the basis of any research on economic growth; however, the neoclassical model treated technological progress as an exogenous factor to the model, and this led to some puzzles that it could not answer. The author points out that the endogenous model that appeared in the 1980s stressed the importance of immaterial resources that had an impact on economic growth, resources such as human capital and R&D that improved technological progress and increased economic growth; the subsequent models that followed were included in the New Growth Theory trend and endogenized economic growth. The paper examines three cases of fiscal policy using government spending as growth determinants: increased government expenditures without raising taxes, tax reduction without reducing government expenditure, and increased government expenditure with constant taxes. Economic notation used.

Literature Review
From the Paper
"We should take a closer look at these statements starting from the Cobb-Douglas production function Y = AKaL1-a. The idea is to endogenize the exogenous factor A. In order to do so, let?s frst write a Cobb-Douglas production function for each individual firm:
Yi = Ai Ki aLi 1-a. Concerned with the factor Ai, Arrows argued that this is represents knowledge and learning accumulated in the society throughout time with collective investments and is a common and free good to all firms. How is it accumulated? Arrow relates this accumulation to the aggregate capital in an economy by the function Ai = Gz,
where G signifies the capital accumulation, which will be used in a proportion equal to z by the firm. Following in the Cobb-Douglas individual production function, Yi = Gz Ki aLi 1-a. Note that in this equation, K, L and Y are individual firm-related, while G is economy wide, as we have agreed above. If we consider that at an aggregate level, G = K, then our equation becomes Y = K a+z L 1-a."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at different models and forms of therapy for families that are experiencing problems. The writer notes that natural therapy is a form of psychotherapy that does not allow for medications, but that uses techniques that are aimed at assisting the individual to overcome issues through a natural approach. The writer looks at cognitive behavioral therapy in which the problem is seen to exist through the individual's thoughts and actions. The writer then discusses structural therapy and strategic family therapy. The writer maintains that the solution focused model of family therapy identifies the outcomes that the family desires and uses those outcomes as the focus of the therapy. In the narrative model the writer notes that clients are asked to take part in a narrative history of life and in collaborative therapy the patient and the therapist work as partners in the discovery of issues and the implementation of solutions to the issues.
Outline:
Natural System Model
Cognitive-Behavioral Model
Structural Model
Problem Focus Model
Strategic Model
Solution-Focused Model
Narrative Model
Collaborative Language System Model
From the Paper
"Change for the patient requires that the thoughts and actions impacting the person's life must be identified initially. This may occur through the patient speaking with the therapist and answering questions that serve to allow the therapist to determine where the issues exist. However, the patient should be the one that identifies the problem areas through discussion so that he or she is capable of understanding that change is significant.
"Techniques used in cognitive behavioral therapy are implemented once the identification of the problem has occurred. The therapist may give the patient "homework" and a new mental or physical response to a situation. That new response is used by the patient in place of the negative response and it is through practice that a new method of thought or behavior can be experienced on an ongoing basis, replacing the former thoughts and action."

Abstract
In this article the writer reviews the scholarly article, "Maternal Mortality and Severe Morbidity Associated with Low-risk Planned Cesarean Delivery versus Planned Vaginal Delivery at Term", about the relative dangers of cesarean section versus vaginal delivery for women. The paper looks at the purpose of the study and summarizes the results. The writer then describes its strengths and weaknesses and outlines how such findings should be utilized in the future. In addition, two key questions that should guide future investigation are enumerated.

Purpose of the study
Results of the study
Strengths of the study
Weaknesses of the study
How to use these findings in practice
Two questions for future research
From the Paper
"The strengths of the study lie in the fact that few studies this writer has reviewed have been more comprehensive. To wit, the planned cesarean group comprised 46,766 women; for the planned vaginal delivery group, the figure was 2,292,420. Every bit as importantly, the study is longitudinal in nature. Specifically, the study encompasses a 14-year period - a length of time seemingly sufficient to ensure that curious aberrations or anomalies in particular years did not cause fundamental distortions in the findings of the study. Additionally, to ensure the validity of the data findings, the researchers employed adjusted odds ratio and confidence intervals; as well, the authors used multivariate analysis to control for "confounding variables" such as age, year of delivery, and elderly primigravidity - among other factors."

From the Paper
"By early 1990, more than 128,000 cases of AIDS had been reported in the United States. Estimates of the number of people infected with the HIV virus that causes AIDS place the figure in excess of 1 million persons. With numbers this high, it is safe to say that AIDS is one of the major illnesses of the 20th century and a central issue of concern to health care policy makers as the 1990s get under way. However, significant differences between AIDS and other diseases have separated it from the traditional views of medicine and led to what some people believe will be a tremendous impact upon the structure of the health care system in the United States.
The severe, potentially long-term impact of AIDS on the ... "

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts four leadership models and determines the similarities and differences between them. Thus each model might address the contemporary leadership issues and challenges in the workforce. The paper states that in this study, the models and theories are used synonymously. The paper compares and contrasts the following four leadership models: (1) transactional; (2) transformational; (3) path-goal theory; and (4) action-centered leadership.
Outline:
Transformational Leadership
Transactional Leadership
Path-Goal Theory Of Leadership
Action-Centered Leadership
Summary And Conclusion
From the Paper
"There are three pillars, which the ethics of transformational leadership rest upon: (1) The moral character of the leader; (2) The ethical values embedded in the leader's vision, articulation, and program which followers either embrace or reject; and (3) The morality of the processes of social ethical choice and action that leaders and followers engage in and collectively pursue. Transformational leadership has been found to be effective in many settings including schools, businesses, and even in leading behavioral changes among those that have failed to respond to other styles of leadership. This type of leadership involves inspiration of the followers to reach beyond their present set of abilities in gaining new skills and reaching previously unattainable goals."

Biomedical and Biopsychosocial Models, 2007.
A comparative analysis of the biomedical and biopsychosocial models of illness.
1,198 words (approx. 4.8 pages), 5 sources, APA, £ 28.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the biomedical model is defined as a conceptual model of illness based exclusively upon biologic factors. When diagnosing and treating a person's medical illness or disorder in accordance with the biomedical model, psychological and social factors are unfortunately excluded from consideration. The paper then discusses, how in contrast to the biomedical model, the biopsychosocial model is more all-encompassing because it is based upon a holistic view of health and attaches priority to the psychosocial context of an illness when interpreting and diagnosing mental conditions.
From the Paper
" These two models can be compared and contrasted in a number of ways, but one of the most illustrative ways is to demonstrate how each model would be applied to a case in which a patient is complaining of chest pain. In a biomedical model approach, the physician would focus on physical causes of disease, examine the patient's recent diet, pain history, family and history of heart disease, and look for empirical signs and symptoms of myocardial infarction. In addition, objective lab tests would be done and vital signs such as temperature, pulse, and blood pressure would be checked. Based upon these procedures and results, the physician would prescribe treatment based solely on biological etiology and pathogenesis."

Community Health Models, 2007.
This paper discusses the precede-proceed model of community health nursing.
1,290 words (approx. 5.2 pages), 5 sources, MLA, £ 30.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that the purpose of most community health nursing models includes addressing the specific needs of vulnerable populations and aggregates of communities. The paper notes that nursing models often arise as the need for systematic methods for collecting data regarding patient behaviors and outcomes become apparent. Among these is the precede-proceed model which the paper discuses in detail. The paper describes how this model arose from a need to further develop and enhance the nursing process to ensure that systematic methods are used to help diagnose, treat and evaluate community health problems and initiatives geared toward resolving those problems.
Outline:
Introduction
Define Model and Relate Three Concepts or Ideas of the Model
Model Application to Nursing Process: A Comparison
Applying The Community Health Model
Explain Importance of Community Partnership in Community Health Projects
From the Paper
"The underlying concepts of the model include providing the basis for planning, implementing and evaluating health educational campaigns with respect to community health nursing (Maltby, H.J. & Robinson, S., 1998). The model involves addressing specific topics during nursing rotation and focuses on the outcomes and causes of patient outcomes with specific emphasis on patient's quality of life first, then planning, implementing and evaluation (Maltby & Robinson, 1998)."

Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between the Attitudinal Model and the Rational Choice Model for studying the law and the courts. This paper looks into how both models are used to understand the courts, in particular the United States Supreme Court. In addition, through a comparative analysis both models are applied to circumstances to determine which model is most appropriate when trying to understanding how the courts establish and define law.
From the Paper
"At first glance the attitudinal model and the rational choice (Strategic) model for studying the law and the courts seem vastly different. Essentially this is because they serve different purposes. The Attitudinal Model seeks to explain why justices (for our purposes justices on the Supreme Court) vote the way that they do, and the running premise is that they do so to implement their own personal policy preferences into the law. The Strategic Model seeks to explain the collective decision making process of the Supreme Court, focusing on what constrains, controls and influences the justices' decisions. However, the relationship between the Attitudinal Model and the Strategic Model for studying the law and the courts is not as clear-cut as this. This is because in an analysis of their essential foundations and applications, the strategic model, although different and contradictory at times, supplements the Attitudinal Model."
