Abstract
The following paper examines the life and history of Leone Nelly Sachs, a poet, author and playwright in the 1900's and winner of the Nobel Peace for literature with the Israeli novelist and short story writer S.Y. Agnon. The writer discusses Sachs' experiences in the second world war, where she was sent to concentration camps and lost all her family. This paper discusses her poems, plays and dramatic fragments published in post-war years as a "mute outcry" against the Holocaust.
From the Paper
"Nelly Sachs was almost fifty years old when she reached Sweden. She shared a two-bedroom apartment with her mother on the third floor of a building. Nelly Sachs was now in a country where she did not know the language, tied to the home by the need to look after her old, weak mother. This meant that letter-writing was often her only contact with the outside world; at first with Swedish intellectuals who broke the usual reserved attitude and made personal efforts in connection with the refugees. Sachs was able to make a modest living supporting herself and her mother while in exile in Sweden by translating the works of Swedish poets Gunnar Ekel?f, Erik Lindegren and Johannes Edfelt into German. She eventually published several successful volumes of her translations. She also became a Swedish citizen."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses David Sachs' article "A Fallacy in Plato's Republic". The writer shows Sachs' belief that Plato's argument in terms of his discussion of justice is radically flawed due to the fallacy of irrelevance. Further, the writer points out that Sachs argues that Plato fails to make a connection between the two types of justice discussed in the 'Republic'.
From the Paper
"David Sachs, in his article "A Fallacy in Plato's Republic", contends that Plato's argument in terms of his discussion of justice - one of the key elements of the Republic - is radically flawed due to the fallacy of irrelevance. By this, Sachs argues that Plato fails to make a connection between the two types of justice discussed in the Republic and that, instead of proving that justice is valuable in itself he argues only that it is valuable in its effects."

Abstract
Writing against the Marxist and feminist readings of Terry Eagleton and Lyn Pykett, respectively, the author investigates the novel's narrator, Nelly Dean, to show how she is a more complicated character than meets the eye.
From the Paper
"In his Marxist analysis of Wuthering Heights, Terry Eagleton considers the role of Heathcliff as an analogy for industrial capitalism's pernicious rise in England. His analysis ignores, however, one of the key working class characters in the novel, Nelly Dean. He focuses primarily on Heathcliff, a character who is ruined by the social effects of capital, while ignoring Nelly, who is a key ideological subject of capitalism. Eagleton, for instance only mentions her "self confessedly biased testimony" (402) but ignores another important trait, that she is a servant and this helps make her a more transparent observer of the action which she retells Lockwood in the course of the novel. There is a negative consequence of this transparency, in that we sometimes lose track of Nelly the person in her recollection of events. The dehumanizing effect of capitalism renders Nelly as invisible to the reader as the families whom she observes. In Lyn Pykett's feminist reading as well, Nelly is only mentioned as an observer and not a character. She discusses how the two Catherines are formed as women, but does not stop to consider how Nelly is also formed as a woman. Nelly is written into the text as a woman every bit as much as the Catherines are. There is especially something to be said about how Lockwood, the other major narrator in the text, constructs Nelly as a woman figure in the novel. While the analyses that Pykett and Eagleton may do well with exploring the characters of the Catherines and Heathcliff, their assumptions and approaches can be useful in understanding the most prominent and least apparent character in the narrative of "Wuthering Heights", Nelly Dean."

Abstract
This is a detail oriented clinical presentation of Tay-Sachs disease that focuses on the disease histology, clinical presentation, laboratory findings and finally prognosis. There is an introduction that goes into the disease itself from a historical standpoint and from an epidemiologic standpoint. The basic disease classification is discussed as are the disease specifics, including the four categories.
From the Paper
"Tay Sachs Disease is a Hex A deficiency genetic disorder that predominantly affects jewish individuals of eastern european extraction (Ashkenzai), French-Canadians and those of Irish ancestry; although these later two groups are not as strongly focused on in the literature. While Frye tells us that the disorder was described over 100 years ago, the gene responsible for Tay-Sachs disease enzyme deficiency was identified in 1969. Tay-Sachs is an autosomal recessive, lysosomal storage disorder grouped within the G[M2] ganglioside disorders. This paper will provide four profiles of the disease: histology, clinical picture, laboratory findings/results and finally will offer a prognosis. Operationally, we need to look to Scheinfeld to understand the disorder. According to Scheinfeld, a lysosome is a "subcellular organelle responsible for the physiologic turnover of cell constituents containing catabolic enzymes requiring a low optimum pH..."

Adam Smith, Ronald Reagan and Jeffrey Sachs, 1995.

From the Paper
"This research draws comparisons with the economic theories of Adam Smith in the 1770s, the economic policies followed during the presidency of Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, and the economic prescriptions advocated by Jeffrey Sachs in the 1990s. The emphasis in this research is on trade and economic activity.
In the formulation of economic theory, Adam Smith was principally concerned with the factors which led to increased wealth in an economy. Smith (1776, pp. 131-136) contended that the cost of labor provided the basis for the determination of the value of a commodity. Smith further contended that it was the relative expenditure of labor that mattered. Smith also contended, however, that the factors of supply and demand also affected the actual price levels (inflation) of commodities in the ... "

"Tay.Sachs Disease
Tay.Sachs disease is one of the few neurodegenerative diseases of known cause (1:419). It results from a lysosomal storage disorder involving a defect in the hexosaminidase enzyme system causing the accumulation of sphingolipids (4:143.147).
The disease was first described by Warren Tay and Bernard Sachs about 100 years ago (3:189). It belongs to a group of diseases..the GM2 gangliosidoses..which, although they result from separate genetic mutations, each of which shares characteristics in common with the others (3:189). One of these characteristics is that all of the diseases are inherited by the autosomal recessive mode of transmission (4:143); another is that each results from a biochemical deficiency in the hydrolysis of GM2 ganglioside cells of the central and peripheral nervous..."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is twofold. First, an overview is provided of the physiology of the inborn error of lipid metabolism of Tay.Sachs disease. Second, nursing interventions with respect to Tay.Sachs disease considered within the frame.work of systems and stress theory.
Tay.Sachs is a neurologic degenerative disease resulting from the abnormal storage of lipids (Nyhan, 1980). The mean age of diagnosis approximates eight.and.one.half months, which is often up to three months after parents "first noticed that something was wrong" (Paritszk, 1985, p. 261). Tay.Sachs disease results in both mental and motor retardation, and in death by ages two.to.four years (Strickberger, 1976).

Abstract
This paper examines the background, history and activities of feminist and social activist, Nellie McClung of Canada. The paper traces the development of Nellie's political, literary and feminist careers. The paper discusses one of her major accomplishments, the attainment of women suffrage. The paper describes Nellie's growing understanding of human nature, views on temperance and feminism, concern for others and her natural inability to suppress the expression of these sentiments, explaining how all this evolved into her political activism.
From the Paper
"Nellie was born in Chatsworth, Ontario, Canada on October 20, 1873 to John Mooney and Letitia McCurdy Mooney (Dugas 2000). She was named Helen Letitia and her siblings were Will, George, Elizabeth, Hannah and Jack. Nellie was the family favorite. In 1880, the family emigrated to the Canadian West to homestead south of Brandon, Manitoba where Nellie attended school from ages 10 to 16. At 16 in 1889, she finished Normal School or teacher training (Dugas). At birth, Nellie, her mother or any of her sisters was not recognized as "persons" by Canadian law (Bridgeman 1999). They and other women of the time did not share certain rights with men. Women were economically dependent on their father or husband. A woman's inherited property passed on to her husband and when he died, she was left penniless and raised her children in poverty. Women were not allowed in certain careers, such as politics, law and medicine. Most importantly, they were not allowed to vote and to determine the future of society."

Nellie McClung, 2005.
A review of the life and achievements of Nellie McClung, the leader of the women's suffrage movement.

»

Abstract
This paper discusses Nellie McClung, the women's suffrage leader of the early 1900s whose efforts in the area of women's rights altered the course of history for all Canadian women. The paper explores her work in women's suffrage, as well as the events that created change, and her role as a strong voice within the social order.
From the Paper
"In the early 1900s women had gained two roles in society - caring for their families and working alongside men in the labor market. However, in the latter position women were still viewed as lesser human beings than men, forced to accept lower wages, and to work in conditions that were unsafe, as well as unhealthy. While the general societal feeling of the time was that a woman's first concern should be to tend to her family's needs, the immense rise in poverty also forced the world to accept women in the labor market in order for families to survive. With women being caught in this dual position it was evident for some that work to secure women's rights had to be accomplished in order to ensure that one day women might be capable of receiving the respect that they deserved in all of their roles within the social order."

Abstract
This paper discusses Richard V. Adkisson's review of the book titled "Understanding Development: People, Markets and the State in Mixed Economies" written by Ignacy Sachs as published in "Journal of Economics in March, 2001". It examines and analyzes Sachs' concept of development within the context of economics.
From the Paper
"Further, Adkisson stated that his synopsis of Sachs' message was probably oversimplified. He specified that "Understanding Development" covered several topics, such as "looking for new development strategies, globalization, the role of the informal economy, creation of a biomass-based civilization, and planetary citizenship" (Adkisson, 2001). At this time, readers start picking up on the manner Sachs developed his theories, promoted his beliefs and generated his statements. Sachs' theories are wide-ranging, his statements are generalized and his beliefs are based on a "multidimensional measure of development that reflects social and cultural concerns as well as more narrowly economic ones" (Bruton, 2002).

"In Times Like These", 2005.
A book review of "In Times Like These" by Nellie McClung.

Abstract
This paper examines how Nellie McClung's book "In Times Like These" chronicles the struggles of common, Canadian women on the frontier in a series of speeches and essays by the author that were intended for the public at large or the audience of suffrage and temperance organizations. It looks at how it celebrates the rural and western ideal of life on the homestead for both women and men and how it extols the moral superiority of Canadian country life over Canadian city life even while it strives to consciously uplift the Canadian urban locale through improved social policy.
From the Paper
"Nellie McClung's In Times Like These is a testimony to the popularity of its author. It is a collection of long-standing, collected speeches and essays drawn from McClung's extensive career as a speaker for a Manitoba suffrage and temperance organization and shows that McClung was a popular enough speaker and public figure to have confidence that there was a demand to see her speeches in print that she had already given to a wide public audience. The book is a public and retrospective text, designed to speak to an audience and persuasively appeal to a middle-class audience-hence, perhaps one of the reasons McClung stresses good, solid values and the importance of traditional Canadian family liver versus the reality of immigrant, urban conditions."
