Self rating of health is associated with stressful life events, social support and residency in East and West Berlin shortly after the fall of the wall. (1/55)

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To compare the health status and factors influencing the health of populations that had previously lived under different political systems. DESIGN: Cross sectional health and social survey using postal interviews. The relation between self reported health and psychosocial factors (stressful life events, social support, education, health promoting life style and health endangering behaviour) was investigated. To determine East-West differences a logistic regression model including interaction terms was fitted. SETTING: East and West Berlin shortly after reunification 1991. PARTICIPANTS: Representative sample of 4430 Berlin residents aged 18 years and over (response rate 63%). RESULTS: Of all respondents, 15.4% rated their health as unsatisfactory. Residents of East Berlin rated their health more frequently as unsatisfactory than residents of West Berlin (Or(age adjusted)= 1.29, 95%CI 1.08, 1.52), these differences occurred predominantly in the over 60 years age group. Logistic regression showed significant independent effects of stressful life events, social support, education, and health promoting life style on self rated health. The effects of education and health promoting life style were observed to be more pronounced in the western part of Berlin. Old age and female sex showed a stronger association with unsatisfactory health status in the eastern part of Berlin. CONCLUSIONS: For subjects aged over 60 years there was evidence that living in the former East Berlin had an adverse effect on health compared with West Berlin. The impact of education and a health promoting lifestyle on self rated health seemed to be weaker in a former socialist society compared with that of a Western democracy. This study supports an "additive model" rather than a "buffering model" in explaining the effects of psychosocial factors on health.  (+info)

Choices without reasons: citizens' juries and policy evaluation. (2/55)

Citizens' juries are commended as a new technique for democratising health service reviews. Their usefulness is said to derive from a reliance on citizens' rational deliberation rather than on the immediate preferences of the consumer. The author questions the assertion of critical detachment and asks whether juries do in fact employ reason as a means of resolving fundamental disagreements about service provision. He shows that juries promote not so much a critically detached point of view as a particular evaluative framework suited to the bureaucratic idiom of social welfare maximisation. Reports of jury practice reveal a tendency among juries to suppress by non-rational means the everyday moral language of health care evaluation and substitute for it a system of thought in which it can be deemed permissible to deny treatment to sick people. The author concludes that juries are chiefly concerned with non-rational persuasion and because of this they are morally and democratically irrelevant. Juries are no substitute for voting when it comes to protecting the public from zealous minorities.  (+info)

Devolution to democratic health authorities in Saskatchewan: an interim report. (3/55)

BACKGROUND: In 1995 Saskatchewan adopted a district health board structure in which two-thirds of members are elected and the rest are appointed. This study examines the opinions of board members about health care reform and devolution of authority from the province to the health districts. METHODS: All 357 members of Saskatchewan district health boards were surveyed in 1997; 275 (77%) responded. Analyses included comparisons between elected and appointed members and between members with experience as health care providers and those without such experience, as well as comparisons with hypotheses about how devolution would develop, which were advanced in a 1997 report by another group. RESULTS: Most respondents felt that devolution had resulted in increased local control and better quality of decisions. Ninety-two percent of respondents believed extensive reforms were necessary and 83% that changes made in the previous 5 years had been for the best. However, 56% agreed that there was no clear vision of the reformed system. A small majority (59%) perceived health care reform as having been designed to improve health rather than reduce spending, contrary to a previous hypothesis. Many respondents (76%) thought that boards were legally responsible for things over which they had insufficient control, and 63% perceived that they were too restricted by rules laid down by the provincial government, findings that confirm the expectation of tensions surrounding the division of authority. Respondents with current or former experience as health care providers were less likely than nonprovider respondents to believe that nonphysician health care providers support decisions made by the regional health boards (45% v. 63%, p = 0.02), a result that confirmed the contention that the role of health care providers on the boards would be a source of tension. INTERPRETATION: Members of Saskatchewan district health boards supported the general goals of health care reform and believed that changes already undertaken had been positive. There were few major differences in views between appointed and elected members and between provider and nonprovider members. However, tensions related to authority and representation will require resolution.  (+info)

Setting the agenda for urban bioethics. (4/55)

Urban bioethics has two goals. First, it aims to focus attention on neglected bioethical problems that have particular salience in urban settings. Three problems are highlighted: socioeconomic inequality as a major determinant of health inequality, the foundations of an ethic for public health, and the impact of social context on the therapeutic alliance between patients and physicians. Second, urban bioethics serves as a vehicle for raising deep theoretical and methodological questions about the dominant assumptions and approaches of contemporary bioethics. Demands for cultural sensitivity, so pronounced in the urban context, compel us to reexamine the central commitment in bioethics to personal autonomy. The multiculturalism of urban life also argues for a dialogic approach to bioethical problem solving rather than the monologic approach that characterizes most bioethical thinking. Although my brief for redirecting bioethics will resonate with many critics who do not consider themselves urban bioethicists, I argue that there are special advantages in using urban bioethics to expose the limitations of contemporary bioethical paradigms.  (+info)

From the urban to the civic: the moral possibilities of the city. (5/55)

Relating bioethics to the philosophy of the city creates the possibility for developing the field along paths not yet explored. In the Western tradition, the city has been understood as the venue for two quite different forms of activity and two different types of moral possibility. In one guise, the city is an urbs, a center of commerce, market exchange, and social individualism. In another guise, the city is a civitas or polis, the space of active democratic citizenship, equality under law, and civic virtue. As civitas, classical philosophers regarded the city as the place of moral growth and full human self-realization. These two possibilities of human moral and political experience in the city have given rise to distinct traditions of political theory--liberalism and civic republican and democratic theory. This article traces these conceptual configurations into the domain of contemporary bioethics, arguing that most work in the field has drawn on the liberal tradition and hence has been insufficiently critical of the moral paradigm of market individualism and unduly inattentive to the values of civitas and the civic tradition. It argues for the creation of a form of civic bioethics and explores some of the theoretical foundations that type of bioethics would require.  (+info)

Social democratic government and spatial distribution of health care facilities. The case of hospital beds in Germany. (6/55)

BACKGROUND: In this paper, the hypothesis that the spatial distribution of hospital beds is more even in countries with socialist or social democratic governments than in countries with conservative or Christian democratic governments was tested. To avoid the confounding influences of historical and institutional differences between countries, we used the Federal Republic of Germany as a case study. The German federal states have their own governments who play an important role in creating structures for the planning of hospital facilities. METHODS: The test of the hypothesis was largely quantitative. At the level of federal states the rank correlation was computed between the weighted number of years of left-wing government participation and the coefficient of variation in the number of hospital beds per 1000 inhabitants. In addition to this, the hospital plans of two federal states were studied. RESULTS: The hypothesis was supported by the data, showing a positive association between the number of years of left-wing government participation and regional variation in the number of hospital beds. A comparison of the hospital plans of two contrasting federal states showed less government interference in hospital planning in the state with a tradition of right-wing government. CONCLUSION: There seems to be a relation between left-wing government participation in West German states and a more equal distribution of the number of hospital beds per 1,000 inhabitants.  (+info)

Reenergizing public health through precaution. (7/55)

The precautionary principle has provoked a spirited debate among environmentalists worldwide, but it is equally relevant to public health and shares much with primary prevention. Its central components are (1) taking preventive action in the face of uncertainty; (2) shifting the burden of proof to the proponents of an activity; (3) exploring a wide range of alternatives to possibly harmful actions; and (4) increasing public participation in decision making. Precaution is relevant to public health, because it can help to prevent unintended consequences of well-intentioned public health interventions by ensuring a more thorough assessment of the problems and proposed solutions. It can also be a positive force for change. Three aspects are stressed: promoting the search for safer technologies, encouraging greater democracy and openness in public health policy, and stimulating reevaluation of the methods of public health science.  (+info)

Compared with men who received standard information, participants in a 2-day community jury considered themselves to be better informed about the benefits and harms of PSA screening and reduced their stated intention to participate in screening in the future. Although the process led to some men changing their minds about participating in PSA screening, others said they would continue to be tested; highlighting the individual nature of this decision and the need for informed consent.20. Yet, despite differences in the mens individual intentions to be screened for prostate cancer, the group was unanimous in opposing any government-sponsored community campaigns. Our findings demonstrate the capacity of a community jury to consider complex information on the harms and benefits of screening, and to distinguish individual from community choices. This echoes the findings of a New Zealand community jury on mammography screening13 which also indicated that community juries are able to differentiate ...

In his speech, titled Democracy Reassessed: A Twenty-First Century Project under Pressure, the renowned British political scientist talked about democracy and democratization,and how developments in Taiwans democracy over the past 20 years are providing standards and examples that are positive and encouraging for the international community.. Whitehead opened his lecture by explaining the diffusion model of democratization, which went from the center to the periphery. Before the 1990s, he said, it was typical to assume that democratization originated with countries that had long-standing and advanced democratic systems. These democratic concepts would then gradually extend out to other societies at all levels of development.. That was an unstated but quite influential idea 20, 25 years ago, Whitehead said.. However, events in the past 20 years - such as the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the U.S. - have shifted Western priorities from liberalization to securitization, he ...

[history] A federal grand jury has indicted two-time presidential candidate John Edwards in a campaign finance investigation. The criminal charges filed Friday came after a two-year federal investigation into money used to cover up an extramarital affair during the 2008 presidential election. Edwards, a former U.S. senator from North Carolina, said in a statement through his attorney in 2009 that he was confident no funds from his campaign were used improperly. But federal officials have said the hundreds of thousands of dollars two Edwards donors gave to help keep his mistress in hiding were contributions that should have been reported publicly by his campaign fund because they aided his bid for the Democratic White House nomination ...

Project MUSE - Acts of Resistance in ChinaProject MUSE - Acts of Resistance in China
Organized, visible, and overtly political challenges to authoritarian regimes have long been staple material for students of democratization. Students of South Korean democratization, for instance, focus on the minjung movement, while students of South African democratization study the political and military resistance of the African National Congress. But what happens when an authoritarian regime resolutely crushes any organized challenges to its rule? Is the only hope for democracy in such a country some combination of internal regime conflicts or international pressures?. Kate Zhou, a native of China who teaches politics at the University of Hawaii, asks this question with respect to authoritarian China and arrives at a novel conclusion: The everyday actions of more than a billion citizens whose energies have been unleashed by a post-Stalinist transformation of the economy and society there may be just as powerful a source of regime change.

New Suppliers in the New Century: Will Incumbency Trump Merits? | Scott HemplingNew Suppliers in the New Century: Will Incumbency Trump Merits? | Scott Hempling
In the 20th century, state law protected electric utilities from competition, leaving customers no choice but to buy from vertically integrated monopolies. Regulators based utilities profits more on kWh sales and asset growth than on efficiency and innovation. The 21st century offers a chance for change: diversity among services and suppliers, where merits prevail over incumbency; and democratization of demand, where customers, hourly informed of the costs they cause, can custom-design their mix of suppliers and services and even produce their own supply. Diversity and Democratization. Experiments in this diversity and democratization are taking multiple forms in multiple places. Maine, Hawaii, Oregon and Vermont have relieved their utilities of energy efficiency roles, shifting those roles to independent companies having no internal conflict between producing and conserving. Most importantly, these new utilities were selected competitively and enjoy no lifetime lock on their jobs. California ...

Presidential candidate Donald Trumps health care reform proposals - The Commonwealth FundPresidential candidate Donald Trumps health care reform proposals - The Commonwealth Fund
In this analysis, we considered three health policies proposed by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Relative to the ACA, we found that all three policies would reduce health insurance enrollment and increase the federal deficit. While all of Trumps policies reduce spending on health insurance programs and subsidies (e.g., Medicaid, tax credits) relative to the ACA, they also reduce federal revenue by repealing the ACAs financing mechanisms, including changes to Medicare payment and taxes on medical devices, health plans, and branded prescription drugs. On net, the proposed reforms increase the deficit by $0.5 billion to $41 billion. We estimate that the tax deduction scenario would lead to the largest deficit increase, as a result of losses in tax revenue collected.. Because there were few details available about these policies, we made several key modeling assumptions regarding implementation. For example, we assumed that Medicaid block-grant funding would be based on pre-ACA ...

MSU Presidential and VP Debate: Overview | The News Blitz
Last Tuesday was the annual President and VP debate of the Marianopolis Student Union, the first to be moderated by a student journal. How did the candidates do? Did the debate hurt or aid them?. At first, by looking at the entrance and exit polls, we can affirm that the debate did have an impact, but majorly on the presidential candidates. The entrance polls gave Stefan Stevanovic an important lead in the race for president, and did the same for Diana Di Iorio in the race for vice-president. However, when the debate came to an end, Anthony Koch became the leading presidential candidate, while Diana remained the leading candidate for VP. This can be attributed to the fact that VP candidates, in a smaller number than presidential candidates, got less screen time than their presidential counterparts. This coupled with the many engaging debates that got the presidential candidates arguing between themselves proved to outshine some VP candidates.. Speaking of those engaging debates, Raymond Zuo, ...

Stem cells, a presidential candidate and Wall Street. - Stem Cell Therapy for Arthritis and Joint InjuriesStem cells, a presidential candidate and Wall Street. - Stem Cell Therapy for Arthritis and Joint Injuries
Musculoskeletal Care of the Mature Patient. Presidential candidate and Governor of Texas, Rick Perry received stem cells for back pain earlier this year at the University of Texas Medical School. Soon the U.S. Government will begin to stockpile injectable doses of stem cells around the United States because the government is convinced that mesenchymal stem cells treat the kind of systemic inflammatory responses that occur due to radiation exposure. The reason this matters is because the underlying etiology of radiation sickness is almost identical to the underlying cause of inflammatory arthritis and other autoimmune diseases.. So let me update you about the Five Stem Cell Companies that are poised to make the biggest splash in orthopedics..

Former presidential candidate regrets missed opportunity to build national policy - Netpress
VMRO-DPMNE MP Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova stresses that she does not trust the Government and Prime Minister Zoran Zaev, and their position that there are no negotiations over Macedonias identity with Bulgaria because according to her, if there is Janus with two faces, then there is our prime minister with many faces.. I do not remember the position he adhered to. I do not know how many times he changed it. Otherwise, both in terms of identity and language, I do not believe because with the conclusion of the Prespa Agreement there are provisions that those people my relatives on the other side of the border are not Macedonians and speak another language, said Siljanovska-Davkova, who was VMRO-DPMNEs presidential candidate in 2019 ...

The Phytophactor: A presidential candidate who believes in evolution!
The Phactor has been asked many times if he believes in evolution? My answer is always the same, No, because it isnt a matter of faith. Evolution is true because of all the evidence, because of the way this explanation makes sense out of so many otherwise inexplicable observations, because it helps unite some many different aspects of biology into a whole, and because of the usefulness of this explanation in doing more science. Not everyone uses language as precisely, so when a presidential candidate says he believes in evolution, he is in a sense correct because hes taking it on faith that biologists know what it is of which they speak, so his acknowledgement of that is fine, and welcome. But its only news because all the other candidates are so proudly pig ignorant of science. And such a well-educated, well-informed fellow doesnt stand a chance with that voting block. It doesnt bode well for our country. ...

The optic neuritis is a bigger problem because when it is flaring up I have problem seeing without good contrast. Dark text on light background=excellent. Websites that use color backgrounds with lighter or darker similar shades of text leave me blind. Personally? I dont really care about presidential candidates websites at all. I want to know who had the bright idea to start the campaigns two years ago. I am already sick of it. I know that no matter what they are saying today, it will change depending on the audience and the poll numbers.

Vice President of the United States - WikipediaVice President of the United States - Wikipedia
Though the vice president does not need to have any political experience, most major-party vice presidential nominees are current or former United States Senators or Representatives, with the occasional nominee being a current or former Governor, a high-ranking military officer, or a holder of a major post within the Executive Department. The vice presidential candidates of the major national political parties are formally selected by each partys quadrennial nominating convention, following the selection of the partys presidential candidate. The official process is identical to the one by which the presidential candidates are chosen, with delegates placing the names of candidates into nomination, followed by a ballot in which candidates must receive a majority to secure the partys nomination. In practice, the presidential nominee has considerable influence on the decision, and in the 20th century it became customary for that person to select a preferred running mate, who is then nominated and ...
