Health System Reform: The Value and Price of Innovation
Explores the role of innovation in healthcare by reviewing the literature on international, federal, state, and local examples of system change; barriers to change; the contributions of research, academia, and industry; and the financing of innovation
Selected economic instruments to limit water deficit in an international perspective
The article presents the issue of water prices for the population in conditions – on one hand – compliance with EU rule on the costs recovery of water services – and the recommendations of the European Union and the UN so as not to pay for water greater load of household income than 4%. In developed countries, this is much easier than in poor countries, where the rate reaches as high as 10%. Among the consequences of the costs recovery of water services principle, the author analyzes trade issues of water in the stock market and the competition between bottled water and tap water.W artykule przedstawiono kwestię cen wody dla ludności w warunkach, z jednej strony, przestrzegania regulacji UE w sprawie zwrotu kosztów usług wodnych, a z drugiej strony – zaleceń UE i ONZ, aby płatności za wodę nie przekraczały 4% dochodów gospodarstwa domowego. W krajach rozwiniętych jest to o wiele łatwiejsze niż w krajach biednych, gdzie wskaźnik ten sięga nawet 10%. Wśród opisu skutków przestrzegania zasady zwrotu kosztów usług wodnych autorka analizuje zagadnienia związane z handlem wodą na giełdzie oraz konkurencją między wodą mineralną i wodą z kranu
Singular order parameter interaction at nematic quantum critical point in two dimensional electron systems
We analyze the infrared behavior of effective N-point interactions between
order parameter fluctuations for nematic and other quantum critical electron
systems with a scalar order parameter in two dimensions. The interactions
exhibit a singular momentum and energy dependence and thus cannot be
represented by local vertices. They diverge for all N greater or equal 4 in a
collinear static limit, where energy variables scale to zero faster than
momenta, and momenta become increasingly collinear. The degree of divergence is
not reduced by any cancellations and renders all N-point interactions marginal.
A truncation of the order parameter action at quartic or any other finite order
is therefore not justified. The same conclusion can be drawn for the effective
action describing fermions coupled to a U(1) gauge field in two dimensions.Comment: 18 pages, 1 figur
\u3ci\u3eAnaphes\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) Reared from the Eggs of a Shore Fly (Diptera: Ephydridae)
Members of the family Mymaridae are obligate parasitoids of insect eggs, and some species attack the eggs of aquatic insects. Only one account of egg parasitism by the mymarid genus Anaphes on Diptera has been disclosed in the literature. Bakkendorf (1971) bred Anaphes autumnalis Foerster from an egg of Tipula autumnalis Loew
