Devolution, Fiscal Federalism, And Changing Patterns Of Municipal Revenues: The Mismatch Between Theory And Reality, Dale Krane, Carol Ebdon, John R. Bartle

Public Administration Faculty Publications

Theories of fiscal federalism, such as those propounded by Musgrave, Tiebout, and Brennan and Buchanan, prescribe assignment of revenue sources among federal, state, and local governments. In this article, we demonstrate that the recent diversification of municipal revenue sources in response to devolutionary forces does not follow the expectations of the fiscal federalism theories. Our analysis suggests that the use of an institutional approach to the study of fiscal federalism would help to reduce the mismatch between theory and reality.

Internet Pharmacies: Why State Regulatory Solutions Are Not Enough, Linda C. Fentiman

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

Internet pharmacies are an economic and communications miracle--and a regulatory nightmare. It is estimated that Americans spent some $3.2 billion in 2003 on medications from the Internet, but Internet pharmacies permit consumers to evade long-standing regulatory protections, particularly those that rely on the oversight of drug prescribing and dispensing by licensed physicians and pharmacists.

I Do' Kiss And Tell: The Subversive Potential Of Non-Normative Socialsexual Expression From Within Cultural Paradigms, Elaine Craig

Dalhousie Law Journal

Using a comparative analysis of the equality movements of sexual minorities in Canada and India the author identifies a symbiosis between the subversive benefits of a deconstructionist approach to equality and the practical achievements to be gained by a rights-based model of social justice. The analysis is conducted through an examination of the role that the expression of same-sex desire plays in the legal and social positions of sexual minorities in Canada and India The author argues that the acquisition of rights can provide sexual minorities with greater access to dominant cultural rituals and that such access provides opportunities to …

Resilience And Emotional Depletion As Predictors Of Dyadic Satisfaction Of Psychologists In Pennsylvania, Kevin R. Ganey

Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)

Although psychologists have been practicing for nearly one hundred years, relatively little research has been conducted on the impact of the profession upon the psychologist's personal life. Historically, most studies have attempted to determine whether the practice of psychology leads to burnout or impairment rather than what helps a psychologist to function well. A growing body of research on self-care places an emphasis on the personhood of the clinician and his or her ability to function well in practice and personal life (Alterman, 1998). The purpose of this study is to add to the growing body of literature that addresses …

Governing By Negotiation: The Internet Naming System, Tamar Frankel

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The governance of the Internet naming system is at a critical juncture, characterized by instability and power struggles. ICANN, while central to the system, operates on a precarious foundation due to its short-term contract with the U.S. Department of Commerce, which grants the U.S. significant control. The system's structure is vague, relying on ad hoc decisions rather than fixed rules, leading to a complex interplay between governments, registries, and ICANN. The article employs game theory to analyze these dynamics, highlighting the challenges in balancing structure and flexibility amidst evolving stakeholders' roles and internationalization pressures.

Differential Expression Of Toll-Like Receptors 2 And 4 In Tissues Of The Human Female Reproductive Tract, Patricia A. Pioli, Eyal Amiel, Todd M. Schaefer, John E. Connolly, Charles R. Wira, Paul M. Guyre

Dartmouth Scholarship

Toll-like receptor (TLR) signal transduction is a central component of the innate immune response to pathogenic challenge. Although recent studies have begun to elucidate differences in acquired immunity in tissues of the human female reproductive tract, there is a relative paucity of work regarding innate defense mechanisms. We investigated TLR mRNA and protein expression in tissues of the human female reproductive tract. Constitutive mRNA expression of TLRs 1 to 6 was observed in fallopian tubes, uterine endometrium, cervix, and ectocervix. Furthermore, transcripts of the signaling adapter MyD88 and the accessory molecule CD14 were also detected in all tissues assayed. Quantitative …

Church Growth Consulting: Evolution Of An Intervention, Alan Mcmahan

Journal of the American Society for Church Growth

The rise of the church growth movement in the early 1970’s 1 produced new insights and understanding as to how churches experienced growth and decline. In the years since then an entire industry has emerged to further church growth research and to deliver the resulting insights to pastors and churches. These delivery methods have taken many different forms ranging from formal seminary curriculums, to seminars and workshops, to books and audio or videotapes and computer programs, to expert consultations. As might be predicted, the ability of each delivery system to actually empower lasting, fruitful change among churches and leaders varies.

Reducing Nutrient Discharge From Agriculture Through The Implementation Of Bmps – How Far Can We Go?, David Weaver, Simon Neville, Robert Summers, Martin Clarke

Conference papers and presentations

Algal blooms in south west Western Australia are a symptomatic response to excess nutrient input. Whilst a range of Best Management Practices (BMPs) are available to address the causes of nutrient pollution, most investment has been directed towards symptoms. In order to treat nutrient pollution causes effectively it is important to evaluate possible nutrient reductions and costs, and to determine whether accrued benefits can influence BMP adoption. Models were developed for catchments near Albany (south coast of Western Australia), and for the Peel-Harvey catchment (70 km south of Perth) to estimate costs and benefits of implementing conventional BMPs in scenarios …

Providing Access To Generic Antiretroviral Drugs To People Living With Hiv/Aids In Developing Countries: An Examination Of Legal Obligations, Cheluchi Onyemelukwe

LLM Theses

The HIV/AIDS epidemic is a devastating medical, social and economic problem in many developing countries. Presently, the only therapeutic remedies for the disease are antiretroviral drugs, which do not cure HIV/AIDS but are effective in restoring the health of people living with HIV/AIDS. Unfortunately, these drugs are unavailable to many people living with the disease in developing countries. This has been attributed to the exorbitant prices resulting from the patent rights of multinational pharmaceutical companies over the drugs. Legal literature has therefore focused principally on intellectual property rights as obstacles to access to antiretroviral drugs in developing countries. This thesis, …

Endocrinopathies In Patients With Thalassemias, Abdulmohsen H. Al-Elq, Hussain H. Al-Saeed

Saudi Medical Journal

Thalassemia major is a hereditary disorder of hemoglobin synthesis resulting in severe anemia. Treatment consists of multiple blood transfusions, a complication of which is iron overload. Excessive iron is then deposited in almost all tissues but primarily in the liver, heart and the endocrine glands. Lately, desferrioxamine has been used as a chelating agent in an attempt to prevent the complications of tissue damage by iron deposition. Early introduction of the chelating agent to combat iron overload in vulnerable organs leads to improved life expectancy. However, these patients often present with multiple endocrine dysfunction such as growth failure, hypogonadism, abnormalities …

The Impact Of Providing Teachers With Collaboration Time, During The School Day, On Student Achievement, Onofrio Francis Monachino Iii

Theses

Because many forms of professional development require teachers and others to work together (e.g., participation in formal mentoring programs and networking with teachers in other schools), skill building in collaboration is often the prescribed approach. Skills in working with others are especially important if the aim of professional development is change (Guskey, 1995). This ethnographic study examines the effect on student achievement by providing teachers with collaboration time during the school day. The study was conducted at a rural middle school. In order for student achievement to improve, schools must search for innovative methods. By restructuring the school day, this …
