An examination of the role of church and state in the development of elementary education in North Staffordshire between 1870 and 1903

The period from 1870 to 1903 is now becoming widely regarded as the ‘heroic’ era in the development of English education. Against a background of harsh social conditions, parental indifference (and in some cases, hostility) and an absence of an educational tradition, the philanthropists, administrators, teachers and other interested parties struggled to establish an educational system which has formed (for some, perhaps, too solidly) the basis for the developments of the present century. An examination in detail of the role of Church and State in North Staffordshire in this development has been undertaken to establish the extent to which the broad generalisations that have been made about the national situation are relevant in the regional context. Chapter I is devoted to an outline of the socio-economic conditions prevailing in North Staffordshire in the second half of the nineteenth century. Important contrasts between urban and rural environments have been noted. The politico-religious background of the area is described in Chapters 11 and Ill. In Chapter IV is established the extent of the voluntary effort in the provision of elementary education in North Staffordshire before 1870 and the contribution of various sections of society is considered in some detail. The main part of the work is concerned, with the co-operation and conflict that existed between Church and state in the important formative years in North Staffordshire. Consideration is paid especially to school provision and administration. Curricular questions are discussed in Chapter VIII and matters of staffing, salaries and the preparation of student teachers are dealt with in Chapter IX. The important question of school attendance, a field in which significant successes were achieved, has merited separate attention in Chapter X. The final years are explored in the concluding chapter. Attitudes towards the 1902 Education Act are examined, as are views on the working of the 1870 Act. The decline of the Voluntary system is seen in the light of the growing importance and widening enterprise of the school boards, the successes of which are illustrated in the important works achieved in the Potteries. Of the voluntary bodies, only the Roman Catholics maintained their position in terms of school provision. A final reference is made to some of the men and women by whose efforts the great foundations were laid

The 235 Experience in Knox County, Tennessee: A Study of the Role of the Private Sector in the Operation of the 235 Home Ownership Program from 1969-1973.

The purpose of this study was to examine the role of the private housing and home finance industry in the operation of the Section 235 home ownership program in Knox County, Tennessee. The information and data utilized in this study was derived from a number of sources but primarily from interviews with selected builders, brokers, and mortgagees involved in the development and marketing of seven suburban “235” Subdivisions in Knox County. An assessment was made of the various roles of the private sector participants, their successes and failures in the operation of the Section 235 program, and the overall value of the program to the private sector and the low and moderate income people of Knox County. The Section 235 program made quite an impact on Knox County in the provision of low and moderate income housing, especially during the period of this study from1969-1973. Although the Section 235 program was almost entirely suburban in nature, excluded blacks in the “235” Subdivisions studied, was production rather than quality oriented, and tended to be less consumer oriented than it should be, it was viewed as successful in terms of its operation by the author. Primarily the program was found to be a boon for the builders and brokers of Knox County by the creation of a low and moderate income housing market

The Incentive Effects of Organizational Forms: Evidence from Florida’s Non-Emergency Medicaid Transportation Programs

We analyze the incentive effects of organizational forms using data from Florida’s Non-Emergency Medicaid Transportation (NEMT) programs. These programs differ in the extent to which their brokers are directly involved in providing transit services. Based on a simple model of moral hazard, we predict that the number of users and the number of claims per user of the program increase, but cost per claim of the program decreases, as its broker’s share of transit services increases. The empirical evidence supports our theoretical predictions on the incentive effects of different organizational forms

Dimensional Stability of 3D Printed Tooth-Supported Implant Surgical Guides After Autoclave Sterilization

3D printed surgical guides for dental implant placement must be sterilized prior to use for patient safety. It is of clinical interest to know if surgical guides suffer distortion during the sterilization process. However, there is limited data evaluating the distortion resulting from the manufacturer’s recommended sterilization protocol. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of autoclave sterilization on the dimensional stability of 3D printed tooth-supported implant surgical guides. Twenty surgical guides were made with 3D printing resin in an SLA printer, and were split into two groups (n=10). Group L consisted of long-span guides including the teeth from first molar to first molar of maxillary arch. Group S consisted of short-span guides including the teeth from canine to canine of maxillary arch. All the guides were designed for placing a single implant at the left central incisor position. No other teeth were missing. After 3D printing, the surgical guides were washed, cured, and the print supports were trimmed. A metal bolt was secured in the guide tube position. After scanning the guides in a laboratory scanner as controls, the guides were sterilized by autoclave according to the resin manufacturer’s recommendation (121ºC, 104 kPa, 30 minutes). The post-sterilization scans were aligned either on the bolt or on the cusps to compare with the pre-sterilization scans. For statistical analysis, Mann-Whitney U tests were run on independent samples (α = .05). There were consistent patterns of distortion typically observed in the apical direction of the teeth. In addition, greater deviations appeared on the distal extensions of group L. When aligning samples on the bolt, there were statistically significant differences of deviations between scans at the distal-most sites of group S and group L (P < .001), while there was no significant difference of deviations at the canine sites between two groups (P = .631). When aligning samples on the cusps, the group L exhibited significantly greater deviations in bolt angle (P < .001) and apical point position (P < .001) than those of the group S. There were significant differences of distortion at the distal-most sites between group L and group S. However, there was no significant difference of distortion up to the canine areas for both groups. Group L demonstrated significant angular distortion of the implant drill guide tube and significant apical location distortion in comparison with group S. Unnecessary extension of 3D printed surgical guides should be avoided to prevent the potential degree of surgical guide distortion by autoclave sterilization process
