Clinical Case Management; A Strategy To Coordinate Detection, Reporting, And Prosecution Of Elder Abuse, Arlene D. Luu, Bryan A. Liang

Cornell Journal of Law and Public Policy

Despite civil and criminal sanctions, elder abuse is a prevalent, underreported, and underprosecuted event in the United States. Traditional reporting legislation and common law remedies have had minimal effect on the incidence and prevalence of elder abuse. The epidemic nature of elder abuse is projected to increase exponentially as the elderly population grows disproportionately over the next several decades. The fragmented system of detecting, reporting, and prosecuting this abuse across a wide range of medical and legal settings creates a poor structure to effectively allow a potentially abused patient to have his/her abuse circumstance communicated to the relevant parties to …

Canada’S National Chronic Wasting Disease Control Strategy

Canadian Cooperative Wildlife Health Centre: Newsletters and Publications

The objective of Canada’s National Chronic Wasting Disease Control Strategy is to establish a coordinated national policy and a disease response and management framework to minimize the negative impacts of Chronic Wasting Disease on biodiversity, human and livestock health, the environment and the economy. The ultimate objective of this Strategy is to eradicate Chronic Wasting Disease from Canada or, failing this, to achieve the tightest possible control of the disease so that it does not spread to new geographic areas or to new species, and so that its environmental, economic and health impacts are minimized. As mandated by the federalprovincial/ …

Application Of Polyelectrolyte Layer-By-Layer Nano-Assembly For Surface Modification, Encapsulation And Controlled Release, Nikhil Anil Pargaonkar

Doctoral Dissertations

In this study, we applied the traditional Electrostatic layer-by-layer (ELBL) assembly procedure to fabricate nanothin films over flat surfaces, and modify particle surfaces to influence the drug particle size, and drug release. The ELBL assembly has previously been applied to fabricate multilayer nano-scale thin films, but its ability to instantaneously influencing particle size is unique. Other unique observations such as influence on drug release as a result of polymer complexation, and thermal changes occurring during layer fabrication are recorded.

The ELBL self-assembly process was applied to produce dexamethasone particles layered with various polyelectrolyte layer combinations. These combinations were further applied …

Expectations, Challenges, And Frustrations: Faculty And Administrator Perceptions Of Quality And Assessment, Fred A. Koslowski Iii

Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)

The purpose of this study was not to evaluate the means or methods by which outcomes assessment and quality are being enacted in higher education, or take sides in the raging state and federal policy debate on institutional accountability and efficiency, but rather to describe the reactions, feelings, and perceptions of one particular institutions internal stakeholders to the increasingly shrill rhetoric on such topics. The present research sought to provide a voice for current faculty and administrators who will be responsible for implementing these renewed calls for assessing educational quality: specifically, their perceptions of the value, challenges, opportunities, and frustrations …

America's Public Hospitals And Health Systems, 2003: Results Of The Annual Naph Hospital Characteristics Survey, Jennifer Huang, Joshua Silbert, Marsha Regenstein

Health Policy and Management Faculty Publications

In 2003, members of the National Association of Public Hospitals and Health Systems continued to offer millions of uninsured and underserved individuals access to the medical services so critical for lifelong health and well-being. Delivering these services was difficult, however, given the economic downtown early in the decade and the resulting inadequacies associated with safety net financing. This report examines the operations and activities of NAPH members in 2003, presents the financial challenges they faced, describes the clinical and community services they provided, and profiles the patients they served.

The UN Food and Agricultural Organization (“FAO”) announced that there is an increased risk of the bird flu spread- ing to North Africa and East Africa. The FAO warns that East Africa in particular will have difficulties containing the flu. The close proximity between humans and animals in East Africa creates an ideal situation for spreading the flu to people. A number of African countries have already responded to predictions of avian flu. For instance, Congo-Brazzaville banned poultry imports. South Africa’s Department of Health placed an urgent request for the flu medicine Tamiflu to be approved for use in the …

Water Privatization And Obstacles To Achieving Millennium Development Goal Seven's Targets For Sustainable Drinking Water, Maria Vanko

PEEL Alumni Scholarship

Militant uprisings in Cochabamaba, Bolivia in 1999 occurred after the private water provider implemented a 300 percent fee increase. In 2003, tariffs increased 700 percent while the water operator’s negligence led to cholera outbreaks in West Manila, Philippines. Increased prices make safe water unaffordable for vulnerable populations, forcing families to make trade-offs between water, schooling, food, and healthcare. Private industry is also less likely to participate in areas where recovery of their investment is riskier.

The Millennium Development Goals And Hiv/Aids, J.C. Sylvan

PEEL Alumni Scholarship

In the countries hardest hit by the epidemic, the problem is compounded by the reality that many national health care systems, which will bear the burden of improving available treatments, are themselves in crisis. In years past, many developing countries, encouraged by international financial institutions and trusting in privatization, cut their health care budgets. As a result, health care has been chronically under-funded in many of these countries. According to a recent report by the UN Millennium Project, “[p]overty, misplaced priorities, and years of externally imposed restrictions on social spending have left health services for over two billion people dysfunctional, …

Conditional Cash Transfers: Progress Towards The Millennium Development Goals, Blase Kornacki

PEEL Alumni Scholarship

Conditional cash transfer programs are transforming Latin America’s approach to social welfare. CCTs provide money to families living in extreme poverty in exchange for the commitment to invest in human capital. The programs aim at replacing the “traditional supply-side mechanisms” with “demand-side interventions to directly support beneficiaries.” Traditional mechanisms battled poverty with subsidies or direct investments in public goods, whereas the new approach channels support directly to the people and promotes investment in human capital, using market approaches as an incentive to use social services such as primary and secondary education and local health centers.

Protecting Children And Their Mothers: The Millennium Development Goals Push Lofty Heath Targets, Frank Pigott

PEEL Alumni Scholarship

The United Nations Millennium Development Goals Report 2005 (“UN report”) shows that child mortality is strongly related to poverty level, as poor countries have less access to advances in child survival treatments than wealthier countries. Five diseases are responsible for fifty percent of all deaths of children under five – pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria, measles, and AIDS. The data suggests that nutrition is the most important preventative measure, because malnutrition weakens the immune system. According to the UN report, safe water, better sanitation, education, and higher income levels can also increase a child’s life expectancy. Other measures to reduce child mortality …

Promoting Gender Equality Through Global Education Targets- The Third Millennium Development Goal, Nikka Thakker

PEEL Alumni Scholarship

Achieving this goal by 2015 seems optimistic; the first half of the goal was not fulfilled since a gender gap still exists in primary and secondary education. In a report released in 2003, the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (“UNICEF”) urged that “accelerated action” must be taken to get more girls into school over the next two years, otherwise other MDGs, including goals to reduce poverty and improve the human condition, would also not be realized. By keeping the girls away from the classroom, they will lack the knowledge necessary, for example, to keep themselves out of poverty and …

Establishing Sound Chemicals Management A Prerequisite For Achieving The Millennium Development Goals, Kelly Rain

PEEL Alumni Scholarship

Modern society could not maintain its current standard of living without chemicals; however, sound chemicals management is necessary to prevent harm to human health and the environment. The United Nations Environment Programme – along with governments, relevant intergovernmental groups, nongovernmental organizations, and other stakeholders – has begun the process of establishing a Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (“SAICM”). The importance of this process is far-reaching, demonstrated by the fact that hazardous chemicals hinder the achievement of development targets, such as the Millennium Development Goals (“MDGs”).

Education As A Lynchpin Of Development: Legal And Policy Considerations In The Formation Of The Education For All- Fast Track Initiative Catalytic Trust Fund, Sophie Smyth, Anna Triponel

PEEL Faculty Scholarship

The provision of education requires resources, and finding those resources is an ongoing challenge. In the case of the developing world, where some 115 million children remain out of school – two-thirds of them girls, and most of them poor or otherwise disadvantaged, this challenge is particularly acute. This need, however, is not being ignored and efforts are being taken at several levels to address it. The formation of the World Bank’s Education For All – Fast Track Initiative Catalytic Trust Fund is one such effort. This article describes the background to the fund and analyzes the legal and policy …
