Publiczne I Prywatne Wydatki Na Ochronę Zdrowia W Polsce. Ile Nas Kosztuje Ochrona Zdrowia?, Kazimierz Ryć, Zofia Skrzypczak Dec 2005

Publiczne I Prywatne Wydatki Na Ochronę Zdrowia W Polsce. Ile Nas Kosztuje Ochrona Zdrowia?, Kazimierz Ryć, Zofia Skrzypczak

European Management Studies

The article discusses the sources of financing health care in Poland in the years 1995-2003. Though the determination of the level of financing from public sources is doubtless, the determination of the level of financing from private sources is not unambiguous. In numerous Polish publications and in the information in publications of international statistics private financing in Poland is identified usually with private expenditure of households on health care, estimated on the basis of the results of examining budgets of households. The authors have attempted at presenting that such estimates of the level of private financing are methodologically inaccurate and …

Istota Zarządzania Publicznego, Barbara Kożuch

European Management Studies

In the paper an attempt has been made to show in-depth study of the essence of public management science. It is claimed to provide for a comprehensive new framework for approaching individual public organisations on all levels of managing public affairs. This new discipline has opened new perspectives for the development of the public sector. The research revealed the essence of public management in involving public interest in processes of formulation and realisation of the main objectives of public organisations. The investigations revealed specific features of public organisations, reflected in the concept of organisational publicity and also - with reference …

Laminar Film Condensation On A Horizontal Plate In A Porous Medium With Surface Tension Effects, Tong-Bou Chang Dec 2005

Laminar Film Condensation On A Horizontal Plate In A Porous Medium With Surface Tension Effects, Tong-Bou Chang

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

The problem of steady filmwise condensation on a finite-size horizontal plate embedded in a porous medium is studied for the case in which a cold plate faces upwards with a dry saturation vapor. Due to the effects of surface tension forces, there is a two-phase zone lying between the liquid film and the vapor zone. As in classical filmwise condensation problems, it is assumed that; (a) the inertia within the liquid film is negligible, and (b) the properties of porous medium, dry vapor, and condensate are constant. A dimensionless parameter Boc is introduced to characterize liquid flow due to surface …

We report on the first joint search for gravitational waves by the TAMA and LIGO collaborations. We looked for millisecond-duration unmodeled gravitational-wave bursts in 473 hr of coincident data collected during early 2003. No candidate signals were found. We set an upper limit of 0.12 events per day on the rate of detectable gravitational-wave bursts, at 90% confidence level. From software simulations, we estimate that our detector network was sensitive to bursts with root-sum-square strain amplitude above approximately 1-3×10-19Hz-1/2 in the frequency band 700-2000 Hz. We describe the details of this collaborative search, with particular emphasis on its advantages and …

Cardiovascular Risk Behavior Among Sedentary Female Smokers And Smoking Cessation Outcomes, Tellervo Korhonen, Taru Kinnunen, Zandra Quiles, Robert F. Leeman, Donna Medaglia Terwal, Arthur J. Garvey Dec 2005

Cardiovascular Risk Behavior Among Sedentary Female Smokers And Smoking Cessation Outcomes, Tellervo Korhonen, Taru Kinnunen, Zandra Quiles, Robert F. Leeman, Donna Medaglia Terwal, Arthur J. Garvey

Publications and Research

Background We examined female sedentary smokers' additional cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk behaviors and their associations to smoking cessation. Methods This study was part of a randomized controlled trial testing the effectiveness of exercise and nicotine gum in smoking cessation. Included in the analyses were 148 participants. Dietary habits and alcohol consumption were measured as additional CVD risk behaviors. High-fat diet and heavy alcohol use were considered those risk behaviors. Nicotine dependence, length of the longest quit attempt, depressive symptoms, self-efficacy, and education were examined as other baseline variables. Abstinence from tobacco was recorded through 12 months. Results Diet was related …

The Significant Other Version Of The Pain Catastrophizing Scale (Pcs-S): Preliminary Validation, Annmarie Cano, Michelle T. Leonard, Aleda Franz Dec 2005

The Significant Other Version Of The Pain Catastrophizing Scale (Pcs-S): Preliminary Validation, Annmarie Cano, Michelle T. Leonard, Aleda Franz

Psychology Faculty Research Publications

Researchers have hypothesized that pain catastrophizing has a social function. Although work has focused on the catastrophizing of individuals with chronic pain (ICPs), little is known about the pain catastrophizing of their significant others. The purpose of this study was to test the validity of a revised version of the original PCS [Sullivan MJL, Bishop S, Pivik J. The pain catastrophizing scale: development and validation. Psychol Assess 1995; 7: 432–524.] in which individuals were instructed to report on their own catastrophizing about their significant other’s pain. In Study 1, a confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to determine the factor structure …

The Making Of The Ahupuaa Of Laie Into A Gathering Place And Plantation: The Creation Of An Alternative Space To Capitalism, Cynthia Woolley Compton Dec 2005

The Making Of The Ahupuaa Of Laie Into A Gathering Place And Plantation: The Creation Of An Alternative Space To Capitalism, Cynthia Woolley Compton

Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation is a labor history of the Laie sugar plantation between 1865 and 1931. It explores intercultural and race relations that were inherent to colonial and plantation processes in Hawaii. Particular attention is given to the role of religion in advancing the colonial project. In 1865 Mormon missionaries bought approximately 6,000 acres with the hope of creating a gathering place for Hawaiian converts to settle in. The ideal of the gathering was a metaphor the missionaries brought with them from Utah, and it was a metaphor appropriated by Hawaiians and infused with their own cultural meanings, particularly the importance …

BSA decisions included variances for a NoHo mixed-use building, a West Village nursing home, and a …

Exploring Disability And Poverty In Nepal: An Application Of The Capability Approach, Patricia Welch Saleeby Dec 2005

Exploring Disability And Poverty In Nepal: An Application Of The Capability Approach, Patricia Welch Saleeby

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The primary purpose of this dissertation is to examine the relationships between disability and poverty in Nepal. Linkages between disability, poverty, and deprivation are explored to develop an in-depth understanding of these relationships, to recommend strategies for intervention, and ultimately to improve the situations of individuals and their families experiencing disability and poverty. Since traditional poverty measures such as income and consumption do not fully capture the multi-dimensional construct of poverty, a capability approach was used to further an understanding of the relationships between disability and deprivation at individual and household levels and to address three research questions. What are …
