Does Elevated Job Stress Affect Smoking Levels? :
A 28 page paper researching the hypothesis that smokers in
high-stress jobs tend to smoke more in response to stress than
do smokers in jobs with lower stress levels. Though there was
no existing research with which to guide our study, we believe
we have obtained solid and statistically valid results that
unquestioningly prove that a smoker’s response to a high-stress
job is that of smoking more than usual. Existing literature
emphasizes the relationship between stress and depression, and
also that between smoking and depression. Biochemical and
psychological research has concluded that there is a strong
relationship between smoking and clinical depression, though it
is unclear which contributes to the other. This survey does not
specifically address depression, but it does give valuable insight
to the relationship of stress-related smoking and workplace
stress. Bibliography lists 42 sources. Smokstre.wps The

Diabetes Mellitus / Overview : A
6 page paper discussing the
actions and long-term implications of the diabetes. At its core,
the disease is the result of either insufficient insulin production
or a decreased sensitivity to that which is produced in the body.
There are two broad categories of diabetes, Type I, or
insulin-dependent diabetes; and Type II, non-insulin-dependent
diabetes. Type I formerly was referred to as juvenile diabetes
while Type II was commonly known as adult-onset diabetes,
but those terms are rarely used now that it is understood that
either type can strike any age. Type II is by far the most
common. Newly diagnosed cases have reached epidemic
proportions worldwide, with new cases in the US increasing
50% between 1980 and 1994, with long-term complications
such as kidney disease, atherosclerosis and diabetes-induced
blindness similarly increasing in incidence. Bibliography lists 8
