Clinical Characteristic Of Amoebic Liver Abscesses In The North Of Iraq, Fouad A. Baban

Saudi Medical Journal

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to find out the clinical characteristic of amoebic liver abscesses in this area, the simplest method for diagnosis and to determine the effectiveness of treatment by metronidazole therapy proved by disappearance of symptoms and regression in the size of the abscesses by ultrasound. METHODS: We studied prospectively all cases of suspected liver abscesses admitted to our unit over 2 years (1990 & 1991). A special case sheet was prepared. Daily follow up of patients was carried out in hospital for at least 10 days. Patients were later followed up by ultrasound after discharge. …

Canine Extraskeletal Osteosarcoma Of The Salivary Gland, Theerayuth Kaewamatawong, Anudep Rungsipipat, Suwicha Chutatep

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

An 8 year-old male mongrel dog and 12 year-old male German Shepherd had a 10 x 10 cm mass and 15 x 10 cm mass located in the mandibular region. The encapsulated firm white masses had multiple cysticlike nodules filled with mucous. Histopathology revealed clusters of pleomorphic, large, round to oval shaped cells, irregular ovoid to spindle nuclei with highly mitotic figures that showed osteoid and bony formation. The neoplastic cells were immunoreactive in some parts for vimentin and cytokeratin but not for desmin, α-SMA and S-100 protein. Hyperplastic salivary gland cells were also present. Electron microscopy revealed prominent nucleoli …

Generational Conflict, Human Capital Accumulation, And Economic Growth, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, Mary Lovely, Mehmet S. Tosun

Economics - All Scholarship

Worldwide, dependency ratios are forecast to increase dramatically in the next 50 years. A great deal of attention has been devoted to understanding the changes in fiscal policies that "must" take place to accommodate these changes. In contrast, less effort has been concentrated on studying the fiscal shifts that will endogenously result from demographic pressures. An example of particular interest is the degree to which a more elderly population will support public spending for education. We use an overlapping-generations model to investigate the effect of this demographic transition on the endogenous determination of public spending for education. A demographic transition …

Association Between Body Size And Mortality In Later Life, Christine L. Himes

Center for Policy Research

The rising prevalence of obesity in the United States has focused attention on the health consequences of excess weight. Obesity is linked to many of the major causes of death in the United States, including heart disease, some types of cancer, strokes, diabetes, and atherosclerosis. However, the effects of body size on mortality and health among the elderly are much less clear. This paper extends our current understanding of the relationship between body size and mortality by using two nationally representative, longitudinal datasets of individuals at older ages. These analyses indicate that obesity may not contribute greatly to increased mortality …

Tanf Policy Implementation: The Invisible Barrier, Roberta Rehner Iversen

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Barriers to participation in welfare-to-work programs are generally described in terms of human and social capital. Findings from case examination of four Philadelphia-areaw elfare-to-work programs under TANF suggest that theory about policy implementation is more applicable. Faulty policy logic, organizational and personnel incompetence, and inadequate coordination between and within funding, referral, program, and employer organizations regularly resulted in delayed program start-ups and strained program operations. Generally invisible and absent from research attention, these implementation delays and strains impeded program staff efforts and harmed TANF recipients. States' 24-month time limit policies are a critical target for advocacy efforts.

Exploitation-The Invisible Hand Guided By A Blind Eye: Confronting A Flaw In Economic Theory, Phillip Dybicz

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Economics is alone among the social science disciplines in failing to have a sound theory to explain behaviors when people do not act according to their self-interest, that is, with compassion. This has resulted in a fundamental flaw in economic thought. As economies have grown in scale and complexity, there has been a corresponding distancing between consumers and producers. This flaw has revealed itself through a lack of economic structures which bridge this distance, restore a level of intimacy within the economic interaction, and hence facilitate the expression of compassion.

Performance Improvement In International Environments: Designing Individual Performance Interventions To Fit National Cultures, Carol M. Sanchez

Peer Reviewed Articles

This article examines how internationalization might affect the design of individual performance improvement approaches in organizations. It begins by examining knowledge that has been learned principally from the North American context of what improves an individual's performance. Then, we discuss motivators, attitudes. and behaviors of workers and how they may vary among workers in different national cultural contexts. In short, we examine individual performance improvement for its cross‐border effectiveness, using various models of national cultural differences. By doing this, we hope to provide an understanding of how performance improvement systems might require modification to fit with non‐North American work environments.

Participatory Rulemaking In State Government: A Managed Care Success Story, Thomas D. Bixby

Missouri Law Review

In June 1997, the Missouri Department of Insurance ("DOI") was presented with a massive undertaking: implementation of Senate Substitute for Senate Committee Substitute for House Substitute for House Committee Substitute for House Bill 335 ("HB 335"). The bill enacted sweeping reforms of the managed health care system, incorporating "some of the strongest consumer protections in the country." Prior to 1997, the DOI's authority over managed care, and hence its expertise, was limited. Furthermore, the bill contained a variety of controversial and complex issues, so implementation of the legislation was certain to be difficult both politically and technically. This Comment examines …

Standing In Environmental Citizen Suits: Laidlaw’S Clarification Of The Injury-In-Fact And Redressability Requirements, Michael P. Healy

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

In its first week of business during the new millennium, the U.S. Supreme Court decided Friends of the Earth, Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services (TOC), Inc., and provided important clarifications about the law of standing in environmental citizen suits. Specifically, the Court rejected the narrow view of environmental injury-in-fact advocated by Justice Scalia and instead adhered to the broader view of injury-in-fact established in a nonenvironmental context by the Court's decision in Federal Elections Commission v. Akins. As importantly, the Court also addressed the redressability requirement of Article III standing in Laidlaw. Here too, the Court did …

The Future Of Environmental Rule Of Law Litigation: Sixth Annual Lloyd K. Garrison Lecture On Environmental Law, A. Dan Tarlock

Pace Environmental Law Review

"Rule of law litigation" is one of the most, if not the, most distinctive features of environmental law. "Rule of law" litigation seeks to convince courts to create new environmental protection rights and duties by strictly construing statutes to hold that an agency action that degrades the environment is ultra vires, by creatively reading statutes to find new substantive or by declaring strict procedural duties in broad delegations of agency discretion. The article asks whether this model of environmental law making can continue to sustain itself as environmental law moves into the second generation. This is an important, if not …
