Full textAbstract:
The textbook's content is aimed at forming systematic, spatial representations of Moscow: its history, nature, ecology, population, economy, transport, and non-industrial sphere. The textbook focuses on the interrelated and interdependent perception of the complex of knowledge about the city's territory as a local system of interaction between man and nature; on active classroom and independent development of the geography of Moscow; on the development of interdisciplinary thinking, skills of searching and spatial analysis of statistical and cartographic information. It contains questions and tasks aimed at both reproducing the acquired and acquiring new knowledge. The team of authors representing the Department of Geography and Tourism of the Moscow City Pedagogical University hopes that this textbook will contribute to the expansion of knowledge about Moscow, its creative practice-oriented study and familiarization with the basics of geo-urban studies. Meets the requirements of the latest generation of federal state educational standards for higher education. It is designed for undergraduate and graduate students studying in the geographical profiles of pedagogical and classical education.

Full textAbstract:
With the advent of major reform in health care delivery systems, team-based approaches to primary care are becoming standard, inviting expansion of the role of the psychiatrist as part of those teams. Teams of interdisciplinary professionals expand access to primary care and the connection to specialty care for those who need the most support. This chapter describes the typical roles in integrated primary care teams, including those filled by a psychiatrist. The authors discuss the differences between traditional mental health and primary care cultures and adapting to the needs of primary care through transdisciplinary collaboration. An overview of the potential levels of collaboration is provided. The authors describe their own long-term experience with integrated primary care in the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Rochester. The chapter concludes with a discussion about the future of psychiatric care within primary care teams as well as population management for those with comorbid illness.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter focuses on the Congressional hearings conducted in 1982 and 1984–1985 to address the issue of franchise relocation. It first considers the so-called community protection acts that were introduced during the early 1980s in the wake of franchise relocations in the National Football League (NFL) and the lingering ill-will triggered by the expansion Washington Senators' move to Texas. It then looks at the legal wrangling between the NFL and Al Davis over his relocation of the Oakland Raiders to Los Angeles, along with legislators' push for franchise expansion and their doubts about revenue sharing in the NFL and Major League Baseball (MLB). It also examines the United States Football League's (USFL) antitrust suit against the NFL accusing it of being an illegal monopoly and using predatory tactics to thwart the USFL.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the issue of franchise relocation. Legislators had two main concerns throughout the series of hearings: to procure teams for their constituents while avoiding losing teams via relocation. The legislators' concerns were imbued with an element of reality, at least. Cities with multiple Major League Baseball (MLB) teams usually had one team that was struggling, and legislators held a different attitude to such teams relocating than they would with regard to later relocations of prosperous teams. This chapter first considers three options for acquiring a big-league team: purchase an existing team, hope for an expansion team in an established league, or enter a team into a new league. It then discusses the economics of franchise relocations, along with the early histories of franchise turnovers in professional sports leagues, including the National Football League (NFL) and its predecessor, the American Professional Football Association. It also looks at Columbia Broadcasting System's (CBS) purchase of the New York Yankees during the 1964 season that sparked fears of an unfair alliance.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter focuses on the Congressional hearings conducted in 1959 and 1960 to address the issue of expansion and prospective new leagues. All of the league constitutions contained clauses pertaining to relocating or selling existing franchises and creating new franchises. These clauses typically required a supermajority, in some cases unanimity, of owners to approve franchise relocation or sales and expansion. However, incumbent owners were lukewarm about franchise expansion and hostile towards new leagues. This chapter begins with a discussion of tactics employed by team owners to prevent the entry of a new league, including territorial rights. It then considers the demise of the Continental League due to a number of hurdles, such as getting television contracts, providing pension benefits equivalent to Major League Baseball's (MLB) scheme, and and getting stadiums. It also examines the expansion policies of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the National Football League (NFL), along with the legal wrangling between the NFL and the American Football League (AFL) over expansion.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the economics of antitrust, with particular emphasis on how antitrust law affects professional team sports. In the late 1800s, Americans worried about the growing concentration of power in the hands of a few producers such as Standard Oil, American Tobacco, and other large firms that consolidated their holds over industries by merging and acquiring other companies. Other industrial leaders sought to fix prices above those obtained under competition. The Sherman Antitrust Act, enacted in 1890, contains provisions addressing “contract,” “conspiracy,” and “trade and commerce.” This chapter first considers how courts applied the Sherman Act to cases involving professional team sports before discussing the characteristics of professional sports leagues, how owners of professional sports teams reported profits and losses, the issue of player salaries and exploitation, and competitive balance and revenue sharing in professional leagues. It also describes franchise relocation and expansion and how television created demand in sports.

Full textAbstract:
We review major findings relating the organizational context to team creativity, using Amabile and colleagues’ (1996) framework for assessing the work environment for creativity as a guide. We find that research addressing the organizational context remains relatively concentrated in a few areas, particularly resources and work group support, and that other areas such as autonomy and certain organizational impediments have received only sparse attention. We offer researchers both a primer on the more and less studied areas of organizational context for team creativity and suggest some expansion of the work environment framework. Specifically, we suggest the addition of social networks, based on current trends in the organizational creativity literature.

Full textAbstract:
Medicaid’s intergovernmental design with a generous federal matching rate and substantial state discretion has fostered gradual but steady expansions of the program over time. Gradual growth creates a favorable political environment in which each expansion creates a political constituency for Medicaid—among provider groups and enrollees—who then fight against retrenchment. Yet, as program expenditures continue to increase, especially during fiscally distressed times, the partisan divide over the future direction of Medicaid becomes more stark. These are the political dynamics that will define how states struggle with the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Medicaid expansion and also how states attempt to provide long-term care financing and services under their Medicaid programs.

Corrales, Javier. Term Limits. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190868895.003.0008.
Full textAbstract:
The case-study chapters looked at all presidential powers within a given constitution. This looks at one presidential power—term limits—across all constitutions to provide one final test for the book’s power asymmetry argument. I conduct a statistical test to show how power asymmetry, this time measured by approval rates, lead to presidential success in relaxing term limits. Across Latin America since the 1980s, term limits became one of the most active and contentious areas of constitutional change. The chapter reveals, first, that not all popular presidents pursue efforts to change term limits, but those who do have a higher chance of prevailing the more popular they are. Second, the only political actors capable of preventing the expansion of term limits, other than the courts, is the ruling party. Popular presidents interested in expanding presidential power thus face incentives to weaken the same political machine that brought them to office.

Full textAbstract:
This conclusion discusses the aftermath of the Congressional hearings. During the hearings, the owners' general prerogatives survived essentially intact, although free agency of some sort was imminent in all sports by 1976. Legislators did not repudiate the reserve clause, the reverse-order draft, or territorial rights, despite their qualms regarding these institutions. The legislators and their aides missed some opportunities to subject the team financial data from the 1950s to analysis, which could have shed light on such questions as the effects of revenue sharing. Some fans gained when their hometown landed an expansion or existing franchise, while other fans lost when legislators did not prevent franchise relocation. Congress has held several hearings in the intervening decades since 1989. The professional sports leagues have also evolved. Technology has altered the landscape.

This chapter provides an overview of the development and expansion of critical care, to include early intervention and enhancement of recovery. This is based on the patient’s acuity and need for intervention rather than their location. It includes early recognition of, and response to, acute deterioration in patients in order to prevent irreversible organ damage or death. The use of tools such as the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) to identify these patients is described. The chapter covers the critical care outreach and medical emergency team concepts, as well as surviving sepsis and avoiding acute kidney injury initiatives. Peri-operative optimization to mitigate the impact of surgery and the need to follow up patients post-critical care admission to enhance recovery and prevent re-admission are also included.

Full textAbstract:
The sports industry presents many unusual and interesting opportunities for the application of economic theory and econometrics. In 15 professional papers, this book addresses current economic issues in the industry, including the problem of competitive balance, the location of professional sports teams and their impact on local communities, managerial decision making, and issues related to labor markets. Extending the previous research in sports economics, the papers reflect the most recent applications of economic theory in this area. The book will be a valuable resource for professional economists working on sports economics topics. In two opening chapters on competitive balance, the contributors develop a model for college football and examine the impact of balance on attendance in major league baseball. In a section on the location of professional sports teams, the chapters then develop a model to predict the location of expansion teams, make econometric estimates of the impact of Super Bowls on the host city, and analyze the ownership of stadiums and arenas. Managerial decision making is discussed in chapters that examine alternative econometric models of production in baseball, use a production function model to analyze technological change in Major League Baseball, examine the management of team streaks, consider the competitive balance between American and National Leagues, analyze the efficiency of player trades in the National Basketball Association, and estimate the impact of participation in inter-collegiate sports on academic performance. In the final section on labor markets, the contributors estimate the impact of owner collusion on baseball players' salaries, consider the impact of the new collective bargaining agreement in Major League Baseball, analyze the impact of being a union representative, and examine the impact of the National Football League's salary cap on player's salaries.

Full textAbstract:
Project teams are the rule rather than the exception in today's organizations. But thanks to the pressure of performance goals, conflicting agendas, and political jockeying, few teams make superior decisions consistently. Instead, team members communicate poorly or not at all, avoid provocative discussion, occasionally stab each other in the back, or in many other ways forget that their job is to make decisions that lead the company forward. Jana Kemp, an authority on team decision making, saves the day by offering tested methods and tools team members and their leaders can use to ratchet up the performance level. That not only makes team projects more successful—it makes work fun. Kemp argues that the way to make good decisions is to have an expansive group conversation that leads to sound decisions and swift execution. Sounds simple, but in most organizations, making a decision and seeing it through can become an exercise in frustration for managers and employees alike. At one end of the spectrum are command-and-control decisions, proclaimed from on-high and implemented through the ranks. Without input or buy-in from those affected by the decision, this approach can lead to resentment and backlash. At the other end are purely collaborative, consensus decisions that often lead to inoffensive, weak choices and sub-par results.

This chapter documents the league's continued efforts at expansion. Although some of the eight franchises were still struggling to earn sufficient revenues, the NBA's stability and the success of its twenty-four-second shot clock encouraged NBA owners. Some began considering relocating their teams to larger cities. Their improved product on the court and growing prosperity spurred other businesspeople to begin seeking teams of their own, leading to increases in franchise values and demands for expansion teams. Moreover, new players from this generation were elevated to nigh-legendary status among pro basketball fans. The league's general stability and incipient prosperity also bolstered player salaries and emboldened players to seek more rights.

Full textAbstract:
This book tells the story of the Mt Stromlo Observatory in Canberra which began with W.G. Duffield's idealism and vision in 1905. The Observatory began life as a government department, later becoming an optical munitions factory producing gun sights and telescopes during the Second World War, before changing its focus to astrophysics – the new astronomy. 
 
 In the ensuing years programs were introduced to push the Observatory in new directions at the international frontiers of astronomy. The astronomers built new, better and larger telescopes to unravel the secrets of the universe. There were controversies, exciting new discoveries and new explanations of phenomena that had been discovered. The Observatory and its researchers have contributed to determining how old the universe is, participated in the largest survey of galaxies in the universe, and helped to show us that the universal expansion is accelerating – research that led to Brian Schmidt and his international team being awarded the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics. 
 
 These and other major discoveries are detailed in this fascinating book about one of the great observatories in the world.

Full textAbstract:
There are still medical providers who believe palliative care medicine is limited to care of the dying. It is actually devoted to relief of suffering at every stage of life. Comprehensive management of patients with serious illness, including the relief of their symptoms, impacts their lives and those of their families, significant others, and caregivers, including healthcare providers. The knowledge and skills inherent in this medical specialty enables them all to grow and fosters resilience in their lives. Patient centered care is the best model that incorporates team practice with physicians and other healthcare professionals, and this is a cornerstone of palliative care medicine. Furthermore, PAs are compassionate listeners who provide comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of vulnerable patient populations across the life span and in all healthcare settings. Among medical providers involved in palliative care medicine, PAs are the only group whose accreditation requirements incorporate this knowledge and training. This text represents a new resource for PAs, clinicians, researchers, and educators of the profession to further facilitate its expansion into palliative and serious illness care. PAs are thereby poised to reduce the workforce shortage of healthcare professionals in palliative care medicine.

Full textAbstract:
The world wars were important ‘pacemakers’ of welfare state development in Germany—first and foremost via special wartime or post-war benefit regimes. Veterans’ pensions and reinsertion after World War I and compensation of various war victims after World War II massively increased social spending for decades. Whenever war did have a significant impact on the core welfare state programmes (i.e. the big social insurance schemes), it was through indirect and long-term rather than direct, short-term dynamics. Labour mobilization via the involvement of trade unions and the significant expansion of wartime social assistance and social services during World War I, for example, paved the way for the expansion of the welfare state in the Weimar Republic (such as unemployment insurance in 1927). Social policy during World War II targeted benefits towards soldiers’ families and ethnic German victims, but it was far from the ‘dictatorship of favours’ Götz Aly describes.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter introduces the edited volume,The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy and Psychiatry. Published in 2013, the centenary of Karl Jaspers'General Psychopathology, the chapter draws lessons from the last hundred years for the coming century. No predictions are made. Instead, five 'conditions for flourishing' are set out: 1) Particular Problems - the importance of focussing on well-defined particular problems rather than general theory building, 2) Product- orientation - remaining always responsibly product oriented in the specific sense that both sides (philosophers and practitioners) put in the work necessary to 'go deep' with each other's fields, 3) Partnership - working in partnerships of one kind or another (ranging from team work through to doubly qualified researchers), 4) Process - constant reflection on process based on peer review but leaving scope for the occasional rogue voice to cut innovatively against the grain, and 5) Q - a condition of a different kind, Q is an empirically derived measure of the balance between in-group cohesion and out-group openness required to support creativity. Illustrations are given of how these five conditions for flourishing have underpinned the rapid expansion of philosophy and psychiatry in the closing decades of the twentieth century, and, correspondingly, are also reflected in the Handbook as a whole. Overviews and commentaries on individual contributions to the Handbook are given in extended editorial introductions to each of its eight sections.

Full textAbstract:
Before the tragedy of the Holocaust, many of the leading art and antiques dealers across Europe were Jewish, establishing dynamic cross-Channel, international and transatlantic networks.Aside from a few famous examples, however, we are only at the beginning of exploring the diversity of Jewish dealers' commercial and cultural worlds, and reflecting on the particular conditions that made possible their dramatic expansion within the profession. Adopting a wider geography than any previous study, this book brings together a team of distinguished international contributors to consider Jewish art dealers as an interconnected cohort, tied together by common strategies and a shared vulnerability. After an extended historiographical introduction, the volume presents case studies and trends from 1860-1940, including: Jewish family businesses in Western Europe; the role of Jews as mediators of art from East Asia; the antisemitism and suspicion faced by Jewish dealers; Jews as theorists, exhibition makers and promoters of modern art ; and the geographical mobility and professional reinvention of Jewish dealers in times of economic and political crisis. With a wide variety of illustrations, including paintings, decorative arts, historic photographs and archival material, the volume adopts a mix of methodological approaches to analyse a key chapter in Jewish cultural history and in the history of the international art market. Includes Afterword by Charles Dellheim, author ofBelonging and Betrayal: How Jews Made the Art World Modern(2021).

The NBA's turbulent birth as the BAA demonstrated that professional sports team owners' twin advantages of price-setting power over ticket prices and enhanced bargaining power over players were not sufficient conditions to ensure profitability. Price-setting power without sufficient demand could still lead to losses. The challenge was to increase demand, which would have led to higher ticket prices, more attendance, and greater revenues and profits. Greater profits would have enabled owners to pay higher salaries and to improve conditions, helping to erase any fly-by-night image. Thus the chapter looks at the issues surrounding profits, player salaries, technology, expansions, discrimination, and so on; as well as how the American economy performed during the years 1945–61 and how it affected attendance and demand for professional team sports leagues.

Como o conjunto de dezenove escolas de aprendizes artífices do início do século XX está se transformando em vigorosa expansão da educação profissional com a criação dos Institutos Federais; como essa secular organização está operando tal mudança a partir dessa nova estrutura organizacional — de simples escolas para os desafortunados a uma complexa rede que chegará a mais de quinhentas escolas e que tem sob sua responsabilidade a educação básica e a superior; como essas distintas realidades têm convivido e que conflitos precisam ser superados: esses questionamentos envolvem o tema desta obra, que analisa, a partir de pesquisas conduzidas no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade de Brasília, as contribuições e os desafios da educação profissional no Brasil do século XXI.

Full textAbstract:
Central banks have increasingly used communication to guide market actors’ expectations of future rates of interest, inflation, and growth. However, aware of the pitfalls of (financial) central planning, central bankers until recently drew a line by restricting their monetary policy interventions to short-term interest rates. Longer-term rates, they argued, reflected decentralized knowledge and should be determined by market forces. By embracing forward guidance and quantitative easing (QE) to target long-term rates, central banks have crossed that line. While consistent with the post-1980s expansion of the temporal reach of monetary policy further into the future, these unconventional policies nevertheless mark a structural break—the return of hydraulic macroeconomic state agency, refashioned for a financialized economy. This chapter analyses the theoretical and practical reasoning behind this shift in the governability paradigm and examines the epistemic and reputational costs of modern central bank planning and the non-market setting of long-term bond prices.

The term immunosuppressive therapy encompasses all forms of treatment that dampens function of the recipient’s immune system, with a view to controlling severe autoimmune, inflammatory, or allergic disease. The predominant targets of these agents are T-lymphocytes with multiple downstream effects, including containment of T-cell activation, inhibition of cytokine production, restriction of clonal expansion, and varying degrees of suppression of B-cell function. This chapter reviews the clinical use of monoclonal antibodies and other immunosuppressive agents, and their mechanisms of action.

The chapter looks at the national development plans of Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East (ECAFE) countries in the 1960s and stresses the need for expansion of exports in order to reach self-sustained growth for these countries. It also contends that while long-term planning models of various ECAFE countries show a considerable increase in exports, their actual performance in the immediate past has been somewhat discouraging. Haq also presents some policy options for ECAFE countries for reorienting their insights, concentrating on expanding regional co-operation and trade.

Full textAbstract:
In the past, states with access to cheap and abundant sources of energy were able to develop radical new technology that paired core innovations with new fuels. Given the strong relationship between global warming and fossil fuels, in this chapter we ask whether the emergence of unconventional fuels and extraction methods are likely to make a significant difference for the relative international standing of the United States now and China perhaps later. Should the expansion of less expensive but older sources of energy, thanks to fracking technologies, help states maintain or regain systemic leadership? Our answer is that fracking will be advantageous in the short term but much less so when it comes to longer-term considerations such as global warming and systemic leadership. More likely, this innovation will only protract the transition away from fossil fuels.

The question we have been examining in this book is limited but fundamental: how should the Supreme Court’s recent definitional expansions of the meaning and scope of “speech” protected by the First Amendment be judged? In the cases we have reviewed, the constitutional term “speech” has been expanded to include speech by corporations, speech by government, voting and petitioning, and speech “out of thin air.” These decisions are not just extensions of the freedom enjoyed by speech. They are extensions—indeed very substantial ones—of the definitional range of the free speech guarantee itself....

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 7 introduces commercial banks as creators of money and integrates them into the general equilibrium framework. The motivation to deviate from the standard approach that neglects commercial banks and entrusts all money creation to a central bank is twofold. First, apart from currency, central banks do not provide money directly but rather supply reserves that enable banks to create deposits. After the Great Recession, this transmission process staggered: increases in reserves outpaced increases in deposits. Any analysis of the monetary expansions starting in 2008 would remain incomplete and unsatisfactory unless it took account of this fact. Second, central banks normally control an overnight interbank interest rate that differs from the market interest rate on bonds. Considering an interbank market and its relationship with the bond market makes it possible to derive a term structure of interest rates. This is important because inverse term structures are good predictors for recessions.

This chapter details the series of political events from the proclamation of Ferdinand Marcos as the sixth president of the Philippines to his usurpation of power in 1972. Marcos' dream of a march to greatness started well. Expansive public works projects as well as intensified tax collection led to a measure of prosperity in the 1970s. He was reelected in 1969, becoming the first president to win a second term. However, during this second term, militancy also increased among student groups. On July 7, 1972, the constitutional convention voted to change the form of government from presidential rule to a parliamentary system. This allowed Marcos, whose last and second term would have ended in December 1973, to seek a third term. On September 22, Marcos signed the martial law decree, which was dated September 21. As justification, he claimed that an “armed insurrection and rebellion” was being waged against the government by “lawless elements” and “terroristic organizations.”5He would wield absolute power for the next fourteen years and eight months.
