number crunching than trying to find out how we better can improve placement stability. The critical reviews of the articles are followed by the main findings from the articles which are presented in three categories; child’s characteristics, foster family characteristics and services involved. This paper ends with a conclusion to discuss how these findings can be used in practice and with some further research suggestions. The articles identified in the literature search were sourced via internet

Part I 1. HISTORY OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT 1.1 INTER-CONNECTIONS BETWEEN METHODOLOGIES, APPROACHES AND TECHNIQUES IN ORDER TO DEVELOP A SUCCESSFUL INFORMATION SYSTEM, THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS SHOULD BE CAREFULLY MANAGED. THEREFORE, BEFORE THE INTRODUCTION OF THE SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE (SDLC), THERE WEREN’T ANY FORMALIZED WAYS OF DEVELOPING AN INFORMATION SYSTEM. THE SITUATION PRIOR TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE IN EARLY 1960S CAN BE DESCRIBED AS FOLLOWS;
In psychology, social psychology is the scientific study of how people's thoughts, emotional state, and behaviors are influenced by the actual, unreal, or implied presence of others.

In this context offender profiling is used when examining crimes involving serial murders of a sexual nature. The FBI profile emerges from
include physical decay, broken families, abandoned buildings, high residential mobility, low socio-economic status, racial heterogeneity, and a lack of social cohesion among residents. This research tests the hypothesis suggested by the social disorganization theory that transition zones with high crime rates are more likely to have high residential mobility and lack of social cohesion, an important aspect of informal social control. In order to test such a hypothesis, this study will measure social
tor interpersonal commimication, sending und receiving email, contacting friends and family via instant messaging services, visiting chat rooms, or subscribing to distribution lists, among other activities. The evidence is clear that interpersonal communication is an important use of the Internet, if not its most important use. For example, both selt-report surveys 112] and computer monitoring studies [5] indicate that email is the most popular online application. Claims regarding the
earlier evolutionary and diffusion models (Langness 2005:91). Just compiling data was not nearly enough; hypotheses must be developed and tested. To understand cultures and compare them they must first be understood in their own context and the study should be exhaustive, considering all parts of the whole and the functions they serve the whole. A similar rethinking occurred within archaeology later in the century under the title New Archaeology. Discontent with the situation in archaeology

2.3.3. The Functions of Poverty theory One use of the functionalist way to deal with the marvel of poverty permits us to draw general lessons. Gans has thought about at some length the elements of poverty, taking up Merton's point that things which are useful for some sub-group in the public arena might be useless for others. Society, he contends, is so engrossed ostensibly with the "cost" of destitution that it neglects to distinguish the comparing benefits, or rather, the group or values that benefit

Date:20/06/2011 Task 1 Introduction The study of genre is one of ESP’s most important tools, one that, when properly taught can open many doors to students in their future field of work. During the past two decades, authors have produced many texts and articles about genre contributing with useful definitions, notions, and ideas for the study of genre in the classroom. This paper intends to draw on this wealth of knowledge to provide a guide for the application of the study of genre in the classroom. More
