Abstract:

AbstractThe decentralization of the State’s powers, through the Puerto Rico Autonomous Municipalities Act (Act N° 81, 1991), had the purpose of provide greater power to the 78 municipalities of the island for their economic and social improvement. This decentralization brought its challenges and evidenced differences in administrative capacities and human and fiscal resources. In response to these challenges, municipal consortiums have been a mechanism to address the lack of capacity in various areas, such as administrative, human resources and budgetary. They have also been one of the mechani

Abstract:

This paper identifies a set of processes which characterized the organized disaster response to Hurricane Hugo in Puerto Rico. It uses insights generated from the technology transfer literature to compare the relative effectiveness of three disaster mitigation programs in Puerto Rico, and to generalize to the likely difficulties inherent in international disaster mitigation programs emanating from core societies. In Puerto Rico the services of the Weather Service Forecasting Office and the computer model used to evacuate and shelter populations worked well. However, the coastal management prog

Abstract:

In February 1944 a thirty-nine-year-old itinerant architect named Heinrich ‘Henry’ Klumb [1] (1905–1984), moved to the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico for what was supposed to be a short-term, public works job with the island’s provincial government, that is, a territorial government that had been established and was largely supervised by the American federal government. At the time of his arrival on the island, Klumb was a one-time German immigrant, a former protégé of Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Kahn’s occasional design and business partner during the mid-to-late 1930s, and a moderately succes

Background: Hurricane Maria, which hit Puerto Rico in 2017, catastrophically impacted infrastructure and severely disrupted medical services. The US Department of Veterans Affairs Caribbean Healthcare System (VA CHCS), which serves approximately 67,000 patients and has most of its facilities on the island of Puerto Rico, was able to successfully maintain operations after the hurricane. As a part of the larger VA system, VA CHCS also has a mission to support “national, state, and local emergency management, public health, safety and homeland security efforts.” The objective of this study is to

Abstract:

Does monitoring corrupt activities induce a sustained reduction in corruption? Using longitudinal data on audits of municipal governments in Puerto Rico, we show corruption is considerably lower in municipalities with timely audits—before elections. However, these municipalities do not exhibit decreased levels of corruption in subsequent audits, even while mayors in these benefit from higher reelection rates. Our results suggest that audits enable voters to select responsive but corruptible politicians to office. Audit programs must disseminate results when they are most relevant for voters—sh

Abstract Background: Patient navigation (PN) services in cancer care have significantly benefited cancer patients by reducing disparities in cancer outcomes, screening, and treatment. Identifying the characteristics of cancer patients who need PN services and the services they need may assist in the design of targeted future PN programs. Therefore, our study aims to identify the PN services that are most needed in this population and determine the association between the need for PN services among cancer patients in Puerto Rico and sociodemographic and health-related factors.

Abstract:

While the PPD methodically debated the pros and cons of official unilingualism their PNP rivals, who won the 1992 elections, restored bilingualism within weeks of taking office. The PNP’s rush became apparent when Gov. Pedro Rosselló announced the promotion of a new status plebiscite. As Congress took up the status question in 1993, PNP delegates flashed the new language law as a clear sign of loyalty to the US. That move failed to sway many federal lawmakers who repeatedly brought up the connection between the Spanish language and Puerto Rican identity, along with the low rates of English-lan

From 1892 to 1896 he was governor of Ohio. Nominated by the Republicans for the presidency in 1896, McKinley was elected and served from 1897 until he was assassinated in 1901. During his four and a half years in office, a dispute with Spain over the rebellion of Cuba against the Spanish led to war in 1898. That conflict, in turn, resulted in an American victory and the negotiation of a peace treaty in Paris. The outcome of the war led t
