Next Generation Public Health Delivery: Optimizing Health And Economic Impact, Glen P. Mays
Next Generation Public Health Delivery: Optimizing Health And Economic Impact, Glen P. Mays
Glen Mays
Improving population health in the context of significant policy and economic change will require governmental public health agencies to rethink their roles within the U.S. health and social services systems, giving much greater attention to "catalytic" functions intended to mobilize, direct, and coordinate the actions of others. A growing body of evidence and experience suggests that such changes are likely to be feasible, effective, and efficient.

Este año el presupuesto de los 12 equipos de la seria A del futbol ecuatoriano llega a la suma de 54 millones de dólares, mientras el déficit acumulado –según El Comercio- es de 3´273.5267, lo cual representa un 61 por ciento del valor total.

Este déficit se estructura con deudas a los futbolistas y entrenadores, algunos de los cuales despedidos ilegalmente, al SRI por no pago de impuestos, a la corrupción, así como a los modelos ineficientes de gestión, todos ellos …

Performance Assessment Method Of Urban Waste Management Systems From Neamț County, Romania, Florin C. Mihai
Florin C MIHAI
This paper proposes a performance assessment method (PAM) at urban scale, based on five specific waste indicators such as: population access to waste collection services (%), separate collection (%), reuse & recycle (%), landfilling (%) and amounts of waste uncollected (Qwu-%). Values of each indicator are correlated to an assessment table for three different years (2004, 2007, 2010) highlighting the disparities between urban localities of Neamt county. The paper also examines the changes and dysfunctions of urban waste management systems between preaccession vs post-accession period. PAM should be a necessary tool for environmental authorities or decision-makers for monitoring process of …

Growth And Structure Of Workforce In India : An Analysis Of Census 2011 Data, Venkatanarayana Motkuri, Suresh Naik Veslawath
Venkatanarayana Motkuri Mr.
Census 2011 brings new dimension to ongoing debate on the decline in the growth of employment from the last two decade. The census 2011 result gives better picture when compared with NSSO estimation of workforce. It is observed that there is a fast decelerating rate of growth in overall workforce, particularly that of females, between 2001 and 2011. But the work participation rate has not declined, if not increase, as the rate of growth in workforce is not less than that of population. Secondly, incremental workforce especially the male is getting reduced to marginal workers category whereas the high concentration …

Training In Fcil Librarianship For Tomorrow's World, Neel Kant Agrawal
Training In Fcil Librarianship For Tomorrow's World, Neel Kant Agrawal
AALL/LexisNexis Call for Papers
Foreign, comparative, and international law (FCIL) librarianship has grown in importance along with the increased emphasis on global legal research. As the field moves forward, it is important to develop core competencies in FCIL librarianship. These core competencies will provide a common knowledge base among librarians throughout the world. New developments in technology, culture, and legal research necessitate a fresh look at the skills required to be successful in FCIL librarianship. This will then permit a wide range of information professionals to acquire an expertise in FCIL librarianship, through a certification process based on the attainment of these core competencies.
Does Globalization Create Superstars? A Simple Theory Of Managerial Wages, Armin Schmutzler, Hans Gersbach
Does Globalization Create Superstars? A Simple Theory Of Managerial Wages, Armin Schmutzler, Hans Gersbach
Armin Schmutzler
To examine the impact of globalization on managerial remuneration, we consider a matching model where firms compete both in the product market and in the managerial market. We show that globalization, i.e., the simultaneous integration of product markets and managerial pools, leads to an increase in the heterogeneity of managerial salaries. Typically, while the most able managers obtain a wage increase, less able managers are faced with a reduction in wages. Hence our model is consistent with the increasing heterogeneity of CEO remuneration that has been observed in the last few decades.

Explaining Gift-Exchange - The Limits Of Good Intentions, Armin Schmutzler, Nick Netzer
Armin Schmutzler
This paper explores the limitations of intention-based social preferences as an explanation of gift-exchange between a firm and a worker. In a framework with one selfinterested and one reciprocal player, gift-giving never arises in equilibrium. Instead, any equilibrium in a large class of multi-stage games must involve mutually unkind behavior of both players. Besides gift-exchange, this class of games also includes moral hazard models and the rotten kid framework. Even though equilibrium behavior may appear positively reciprocal in some of these games, the self-interested player never benefits from reciprocity. We discuss the relation of these results to the theoretical and …

Globalization's Shift In Accountability: Textile Suppliers And Merchants In 18th And 21st Century Bangladesh, Margaret Jennings
Globalization's Shift In Accountability: Textile Suppliers And Merchants In 18th And 21st Century Bangladesh, Margaret Jennings
jenningsmargaret@icloud.com
The British East India Company in the 18th century and Wal-Mart in the 21st century share synonymous business practices: the exchange between a less developed nation's unlimited labor force and a developed country's insatiable appetite for cheap garments. By contrasting two events of corruption charges, the Warren Hastings' Trial of the Century and the Tazreen Factory Fire of 2012 illustrate how the accountability of the exchange between the merchant and the suppliers has shifted.

Genetic Data And The Data Protection Regulation: A Good Start, But Prob-Lems Remain, Dara Hallinan, Michael Friedewald, Paul De Hert
Michael Friedewald
Genes are the recipe, which is followed to create each person. Genetic data is data which refers to these genes. As genetic data is a representation of the biological architecture of the individual, it has been seen to have a number of unique features. Data protection law deals with the processing of ‘personal data’ and is a key area of law in the regulation of the use of genetic data. It is currently elaborated at European level by Directive 95/46. Owing to the unique qualities of genetic data, there have been numer-ous criticisms of the Directive’s suitability to achieve its …

The Democracy Cluster Classification Index, Mihaiela R. Gugiu, Miguel Centellas
Miguel Centellas
Using hierarchical cluster analysis, a new measure of democracy, the DCC index, is proposed and constructed from five popular indices of democracy (Freedom House, Polity IV, Vanhanen's index of democratization, Cheibub et al.'s index of democracy and dictatorship, and the Cingranelli-Richards index of electoral self-determination). The DCC was used to classify the regime types for twenty-four countries in the Americas and thirty-nine countries in Europe over a thirty-year period. The results indicated that democracy is a latent class variable. Sensitivity and specificity analyses were conducted for the five existing democracy indices as well as the newly proposed Unified Democracy Scores …

Tweeting The Government: Preliminary Findings From A Genre Analysis Of Canadian Federal Government Tweets, Elizabeth M. Shaffer, Luanne Freund, Mackenzie Welch
Elizabeth M. Shaffer
Social media is rapidly becoming an integral part of the Canadian Federal Government’s communication plan. Its use has been institutionalized with the adoption of the Guidelines for External Use of Web 2.0, which provides policy guidelines for government agencies on using social media tools. Twitter, a microblogging site, has rapidly gained popularity with Canadian government agencies. The primary purpose of this research is to identify the communicative intents behind federal government agencies’ use of Twitter. A random set of 2,000 tweets were collected over a one month period in 2012 and were coded using a schema derived from both relevant …

O Sentido Da Migração Na Câmara Dos Deputados (1995-2011), Patrick Silva, Andréa Freitas
Patrick Silva
Quais são os fatores que afetam a migração partidária? O grau de desenvolvimento do estado do parlamentar? Isto é, parlamentares de estados menos desenvolvidos seriam mais propensos a migrar visando o aumento do acesso a recursos para sua base? Ou seria a força do partido de origem que explica a migração: parlamentares de partidos mais fracos eleitoralmente e/ou na arena parlamentar migrariam mais? Por fim, parlamentares da oposição migram mais para a coalizão governamental? Essas são algumas das perguntas que este artigo se propôs a responder. Para tanto, fizemos uso dos dados de migração partidária na Câmara dos Deputados brasileira …

Draft 1: Thesis - Gossip, Exclusion, Competition, Spite, Katelyn E. Brownlee
Katelyn E Brownlee
The glass ceiling has been defined as the impenetrable force that keeps women and minorities out of executive corner offices by excluding them from the “ old boys club,” the network of men who dominate the upper echelons of business (Callahan & Tomaszewski, 2007). Despite the growing number of female professionals, modern statistics tell a story of sex inequality and male-dominance across all disciplines; providing agency to the purveying thought of feminist scholars that the glass ceiling exists and endures to this day (Hon, 1995). This study examines the nature of female-to-female relationships within the workforce to ascertain what inter-group …
