Європейські тренди локалізації господарської діяльності у реконструктивній просторовій організації господарських систем

The directions of the European localization of economic activity have been improved in the context of the formation of modern determinants of the reconstructive spatial organization of economic systems based on natural resource assets. A methodological concept of adapting the provisions of "asset-oriented learning in pedagogy" to the conceptual provisions of the reconstructive spatial organization of national economic systems based on natural resource assets is proposed while adjusting the focus of efforts on the various nature of reducing risks and threats in the post-war period, assuming in the reconstruction processes: the integration of resources, synergy and partnership, development of innovations, community participation, flexibility and adaptability, stability and sustainability, territorial competitiveness, balance and uniformity, conservation and rational use of resources and assets that are different in nature, conservation of human resources and increasing the potential of human development. Taking into account the methodological principles of the asset-oriented approach, the factors of localism were identified with the determination of their advantages in the processes of spatial organization of national economic systems in the post-war period. Features of localization of efforts have been established for the formation of a set of measures regarding: a) coordination of localized efforts; b) consideration of societal factors in production-economic, inter-industry and inter-sectoral interaction; c) achieving sustainability and ecological obligation; d) ensuring effective cooperation and stability of networks.

Exploring the Migration Intention of Romanian Students in Economics

In the context of increasing concerns about the demographic decline of Europe and the lack of sustainable policies to fight against it, the main purpose of this study is to estimate the migration intention of the Romanian students in economics and business administration and the influence of the determinant factors. Data are collected from a questionnaire survey applied to a sample of 1,155 students at the Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi. We have applied a multinomial logistic regression model with both simple effects and interactions. The results have brought strong arguments proving the importance of personal value recognition, beliefs and attitudes, family background, as well as interactions between genders, attitude towards competition and active search for a job or between parental severity and migration legacy, as determinant factors of the students' intention to migrate to Western Europe. These results may serve regional, national and even community-based sustainable development policies for the conservation of human resources and mostly of higher-educated individuals.

COVID-19 and orthopaedic surgery: evolving strategies and early experience.

AimsCOVID-19 has changed the practice of orthopaedics across the globe. The medical workforce has dealt with this outbreak with varying strategies and adaptations, which are relevant to its field and to the region. As one of the ‘hotspots’ in the UK , the surgical branch of trauma and orthopaedics need strategies to adapt to the ever-changing landscape of COVID-19.MethodsAdapting to the crisis locally involved five operational elements: 1) triaging and workflow of orthopaedic patients; 2) operation theatre feasibility and functioning; 3) conservation of human resources and management of workforce in the department; 4) speciality training and progression; and 5) developing an exit strategy to resume elective work. Two hospitals under our trust were redesignated based on the treatment of COVID-19 patients. Registrar/consultant led telehealth reviews were carried out for early postoperative patients. Workflows for the management of outpatient care and inpatient care were created. We looked into the development of a dedicated operating space to perform the emergency orthopaedic surgeries without symptoms of COVID-19. Between March 23 and April 23, 2020, we have surgically treated 133 patients across both our hospitals in our trust. This mainly included hip fractures and fractures/infection affecting the hand.ConclusionThe COVID-19 pandemic is not the first disease outbreak affecting the UK, nor will it be the last. The current crisis has necessitated rapid development of new hospital guidelines and early adaptive strategies in our services. Protocols and directives need to be formalized keeping in mind that COVID-19 will have a long and protracted course until a definitive cure is discovered.

The Prosperity of Nigerian Manufacturing Companies: Effect of Human Resource Conservation

This study investigates the effect of human resource conservation on the prosperity of manufacturing companies in Nigeria using cross-sectional survey. The accessible population consists of ten functional manufacturing companies in Nigeria using simple random sampling. Eighty-five (85) top level managers and middle level managers were surveyed from ten manufacturing companies. A Sample size of seventy (70) was ascertained using Krejcie and Morgan. Seventy (70) copies were administered, but sixty-two (62) copies of the questionnaire were correctly filled and returned. Simple regression was used to analyse the hypotheses. This study found that human resource conservation has a significant effect on the prosperity of manufacturing companies in Nigeria. This study concluded that human resource conservation that is measured in terms of the good working environment; provision of social security, stable payment of salary, availability of medical care will enhance the prosperity of manufacturing companies in Nigeria. One of the recommendations is that Nigerian government should mandate all manufacturing companies to register with social trust funds where they will be making financial contributions that can be accessed anytime a worker has a serious ailment to deal with.

Quality Enhancement through Hybrid Skill Management Concept for Multi-Type Aircraft Fleet

Scarcity of resources is becoming a universal challenge for the world community. Conservation of resources could only be possible if the quality concept of waste reduction is introduced and implemented in utilization of existing resources. Out of the countless dimensions of resource conservation, this research focuses on formulation of maintenance model through human resource conservation and its optimum utilization in aviation industry. The research work remained converged to the basic managerial aspect of skill management for Multi-type rating certification. The paper introduces a new concept with enhanced managerial quality for the first line operations of Multi-type aircraft fleet. The concept has introduced synergy concept for human resource utilization to reduce the requirement of per aircraft technicians and engineers. The research has identified that quality enhancement in three major areas namely hiring process, skill development process and maintenance practices have major role to play for optimum utilization of human resource assets. The results finally achieved show remarkable reduction in overall cost effect even though with enhanced quality.

Human Resource Conservation and Organisational Stability in Nigeria: A Study of Selected Government Agencies in Abia State

This study investigated the relationship between human resource conservation and organisational stability using cross-sectional research survey. Accessible population consists of five (5) federal government agencies in Abia State. A total of two hundred and twenty (220) workers were randomly sampled. A sample size of one hundred and forty was ascertained using Krejcie and Morgan. Both primary and secondary sources of data were utilized. One hundred and forty copies of questionnaire were distributed but one hundred and sixteen (116) copies were correctly filled and returned. This study concluded that human resource conservation that is measured in terms of good working environment, provision of social security, stable payment of salary, availability of medical care enhance the stability of organisations in Nigeria. One of the recommendations is that Nigerian government should implement social security policy in order to have a stable economy.

Crossing the Frontier: Hollow Men, Modernist Militias, And Mixedblood Mimesis in Louis Owens’s Dark River

C r o s s in g t h e F r o n t i e r : H o l l o w M e n , M o d e r n i s t M ilit ia s , AND M lXED B LO O D M IM ESIS in Louis O w e n s ’s D a r k Riv e r S t u a r t C h r i s t i e It is almost impossible, and it seems quite futile, to make general statements about a country which has no centre, no place by which it can be tested. —Ezra Pound, Patria Mia Pound’s assertion in 1913 that America has no center initially seems to endorse the frontier as the figure best representing the ideology of American exceptionalism. A n America without a center invites the displacement of cultural production to its margins, or beyond them in the context of imperialism, and offers the justifying pretext for AngloEuropean expansionism that Frederick Jackson Turner deftly exploited in his famous essay “closing” the western frontier (37-38). Yet Pound’s foundational decentering act in Patria Mia just as brusquely negates the ideological thrust of Turner’s frontier, by suggesting America has “no place” anywhere to test its national identity, thereby sounding an antiromantic, indeed modernist, note of futility within the otherwise triumphal clamor for Anglo-European, global hegemony.1 From Pound’s perspective, the problem facing America was one of identity. Its resolution lay in addressing the perceived deficit of culture indigenous to the Americas and, as a consequence, in cultivating the metropolitanism sufficient to justify the prosperity of Anglo-European elites. W ith no London, no Paris, no Rome, what engine could drive the nation’s cultural production? In response to this perceived deficit, Pound proposed a vigorous and homegrown movement, a proactive conservancy of humanity, inspired by debates during the RooseveltWilson campaign of 1912: W hatever the American sense of property may be, there has been a watchword used in the present presidential cam­ paign that would scarcely have been used in any country except America or France. “The first duty of a nation is to conserve its human resources.” W e s t e r n A m e r ic a n L it e r a t u r e S p r in g 2 0 0 5 I believe that this sentence contains the future greatness of America. I believe that because of this perception we shall supersede any nation that attempts to conserve first its material resources. (57) Cast in the humanist rhetoric of nationalist politics, Pound’s endorsement of America’s “future greatness” is striking; particularly peculiar, in the age of Carnegie and Rockefeller, is Pound’s privileging of human over material resources. Clearly, the dichotomy between human and material/environmen­ tal resources Pound posits is false. The use of Afro-Caribbean labor to detonate fuses during the U.S.-sponsored construction of the Panama canal, a project nearing completion at the time of Pound’s writing, gives appropriate reminder of the ways in which human materiel was exhausted to coordinate the opening of frontiers nationally and hemispherically in the interests of American corporate capital.2 Similarly, the establishment of the nationwide federal parks system in 1916 des­ ignated lands as off-limits to development in the interest of national culture, but only at the expense of tribal peoples, who already had mil­ lions of acres surveyed (ostensibly on their own behalf) only to be in turn stripped from them.^ The country’s Americanness, which Pound here constitutes with a characteristic mania, emerges only at the mate­ rial cost of subordinated cultures. As the above instances suggest, any humanist rhetoric of Am erican exceptionalism (“we shall supersede any nation”) based on the conservation of human resources remains deeply compromised by the adherence on the part of Anglo-Europeans to an acquired indigenous conservancy (also referred to as “nativism”) about material resources.^ Those who actually protect or expand a given frontier are the soldiers whose lives are expended, contra Pound...

The Health Marketplace: New York City, 1990-2010

Health care provision in the United States remains a critical policy issue. Despite large-scale organizational transformations in hospitals, changes in the ways that health care is delivered, and changes in the relations between patients and the staffs who provide health care services, health institutions remain financially unstable even as they have grown in size. Mergers and new networks and systems have emerged, and revenue streams continue to grow. Experts no longer view such developments as holding the answer to continuing problems of the health care system. Focusing on changes in the health care sector in New York City during the 1990s, this volume considers physicians and other health care workers, primary and ambulatory care sites, and hospitals and medical centers. It explores the impact of institutional realignments and managed care in New York City. It examines the accelerated destabilization of health care financing and delivery at the end of the twentieth century in the nation at large as well as in New York State and New York City. Ginzberg and his colleagues describe what might happen in the next decade in the nation's largest metropolis and locate the probable outcome in the space between these two extremes. They focus on how the health marketplace may be altered by 2010 when it faces its greatest challenges, a year before the first members of the baby boom generation become eligible for Medicare. This literate and informative volume elucidates changes that have occurred in the health care sector during the decade of the 1990s and offers an expert assessment of what might happen over the next decade. Policymakers, health care officials, and medical personnel will find this highly informative reading. Eli Ginzberg is A. Barton Hepburn Professor Emeritus at the Graduate School of Business, and Director of the Eisenhower Center for the Conservation of Human Resources at Columbia University. His work in social policy, health care, human resources, the special needs of the poor, the young and the aged, place Ginzberg in a special category: activist scholar rather than academic-turned-activist. Howard Berliner is associate professor, Program in Health Services Management and Policy, Milano Graduate School of Management and Urban Policy, New School for Social Research. Panos Minogiannis is a political science doctoral candidate in the division of Sociomedical Sciences, Columbia University and a research associate at the Eisenhower Center. Miriam Ostow was the long term chief of health policy studies at the Eisenhower Center and co-author of many of its earlier publications on health policy.

The shift to specialism in medicine: the U.S. Army in World War II.

While many are aware that a rapid advance in medical specialism occurred as a result of the introduction in 1965 of Medicare, with its liberal funding for graduate medical education, not many realize that a perhaps more significant rise in the number of specialists began right after World War II. Specialists were in great demand as the army planned for the treatment of several hundred thousand battle casualties who were returned to the United States at the end of the war, and many recently discharged medical officers took advantage of the G.I. Bill to train in specialty and subspecialty medicine. The author describes his experiences as director of the Resources Analysis Division, which was charged with developing and implementing a plan for treating the battle casualties of World War II. In his role, the author was to ensure a military hospital system was in place to provide high-quality specialty care to returning soldiers. He discusses how he and others accomplished this goal and what happened in this specialty hospital system after the wounded returned and peace was declared.

Challenges to U.S. Health Care Policy in the Early 21st Century

CHALLENGES TO U.S. HEALTH CARE POLICY IN THE EARLY 21ST CENTURY ELI GINZBERG* Introduction I welcomed the invitation of the editor oí Perspectives to write this article, the more so because the journal is published by the University of Chicago, which has been the home of the leading competitive market analysts of the 20th century. In contrast to the Chicago School of market economists, I start with the presumption that the distinguishing characteristic ofthe U.S. health care system during the past century—and probably its continuing most distinguishing feature early into the next century—is its "pluralism," in which government, the nonprofit sector, and the for-profit sector each continue to have important and ongoing roles in the ways in which health care services are produced, paid for, and distributed. The 20th-century Health Care Sector in Quick Review In 1910 Alexander Flexner's report sponsored by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement ofTeaching, a nonprofit institution, set the stage for the overhaul of the U.S. medical school curriculum, the vast majority of which schools were part of state or nonprofit universities [I]. The reforms were encouraged and approved by the American Medical Association (AMA) and the American College of Surgeons, which in turn were nonprofit organizations [2]. Several decades later, at the outbreak of World War II, a number of formative influences helped to shape and reshape the U.S. health care sector. The AMA used its power and influence to strengthen fee-for-service arrangements between patients seeking care from physicians and physicians The author wishes to acknowledge Panos Minogiannis for his assistance in developing the references to this article. *The Eisenhower Center for the Conservation of Human Resources, Columbia University, Mail Code 7740, 2960 Broadway, New York, NY 10027.© 1999 by The University of Chicago.

As part of their professional ethos, most physicians provided part-pay or charity care for patients who were unable to pay their prevailing fee. The acute care hospital sector consisted overwhelmingly of nonprofit community and teaching hospitals, in which the physician staffwas largely responsible for all professional services, with lay trustees focused on making sure that the hospital ended each fiscal year in the black. The AMA, as the principal voice of the medical profession, exercised major influence in association with the deans of the medical schools in controlling the numbers and characteristics of the students admitted, as well as in helping to structure the rules and regulations governing the licensing of their schools' graduates to practice medicine. Further, the AMA and its state associations exercised potent influence on both state legislatures and the federal government to assure the continuing dominance of the medical profession, which strongly opposed any initiatives aimed at altering the in-place fee-for-service system of medical practice. The extent of the AMA's dominance is underlined by the withholding attitudes of the medical leadership toward the early stages of the Blue Cross movement in the 1930s, a movement aimed at enabling middle- and upper-income Americans to insure themselves against costly hospital expenditures. The three decades between the implementation of the Flexner reforms and the entrance of the U.S. into World War II were characterized by a slow upgrading of modern medicine, especially hospital care, in a political climate in which the medical leadership called most of the shots, insuring that their professional interests and goals would continue to dominate. But the half century and more after the end of World War II has witnessed significant changes in the structure and functioning of U.S. health care, the most important developments of which include: • The arrival of the penicillin age, which vastly expanded the potentials of curative medicine. • The rapid growth of hospital insurance and latterly medical care insurance provided for the most part to the under-65 by employers as a fringe benefit. This practice has enjoyed an important federal tax benefit, currently estimated at $100 billion annually, the benefits of which accrue primarily to high-income employees [3]. • The federal government's Serviceman...

Bang More of a Whimper, Health Economist Avers

CONCERN about demographic demolition notwithstanding (see previous article), it will be a long time before long-term care needs reach crisis proportions, according to one notable observer who himself has been around a long time. "Anybody who tells you about all this great increase of elderly, tell them to do more arithmetic," says octogenarian Eli Ginzberg, PhD, professor emeritus of economics at Columbia University, director of the Eisenhower Center for the Conservation of Human Resources (both in New York, NY), and author of more than 100 books. "Most of you believe there will be a large number of older people available to you in the near future," he told an audience at the last American Geriatrics Society meeting, held in Washington, DC. "You could not be more wrong." Scoffing at estimates of enormous numbers of elderly soon to be in need of long-term care, Ginzberg says that there will be only

Physician supply strategy: the case of the south.

The year 1989 marked the fourteenth successive year of steep decline in the number of U.S. medical school applicants. Many deans were beginning to think the unthinkable–that they might soon be unable to fill their entering classes with qualified students. In that year, the Eisenhower Center for the Conservation of Human Resources at Columbia University proposed to The Pew Charitable Trusts a study of the shrinking applicant pool as it affected eleven southern states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessec, and Virginia. Support was granted by Pew for the period 1989–1991, and work got under way in the fall of 1989. Using a methodology that combined quantitative and nonquantitative techniques, the study explored the implications of a continuing dearth of well-qualified medical school applicants, schools’ responses to the challenge, and the longerterm measures that state legislatures might consider to ensure essential health services for all, even with fewer new physicians. Although applications to medical schools were down nationwide, the decision to focus the investigation on the South offered several advantages: the ability to differentiate regional from national factors; the presence of a heterogeneous medical education system with a large number of new (post1960) schools, and a below-average physician-to-population ratio. An increase in the number of medical school aspirants was reported in 1989 and has continued; nevertheless, the pool remains well below its peak, and problems persist. In this report, we summarize the experiencc of the South, which parallels that of

The reform of medical education.

Prologue: The nation's medical education system has grown dramatically over the past several decades, a consequence of society's abiding commitment to the medical model Through the particular encouragement of federal subsidies, the number of medical schools increased from 88 to 127 and total enrollment rose from 21,379 to a peak of 67,443 in 1983–1984; enrollment in 2986–1987 was 66,142. During the 1980s, when many other sectors of the health sphere were being subjected to dramatic change, the status quo largely prevailed in medical education, although pressures for reform began to build. In this lead essay, Robert Ebert and Eli Ginzberg discuss the evolution of medical education and offer a prescription for its reform. Ebert is a particularly appropriate figure to survey the changes he believes are necessary to prepare medical education for the twenty-first century. His career spans the deanship of Harvard Medical School, the presidency of the Milbank Memorial Fund, and now a post as an adviser to the president of The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Ebert has maintained a long interest in generalist training of physicians, arguing that medical education must achieve a more appropriate balance between primary care and tertiary, specialty-oriented teaching. Ebert was instrumental in the creation of the Harvard Community Health Plan, one of the first health maintenance organizations with an affiliation to a medical school He also fostered the recruitment of minority students to Harvard Medical School, a standard the school has largely maintained. Ginzberg, a professor emeritus of economics at Columbia University, is the long-time director of the Conservation of Human Resources, which is affiliated with the same institution. Ginzberg was among the first national figures to question the notion that the United States faced a physician shortage. In a letter published in The New England Journal of Medicine, Ginzberg said that increasing the supply of physicians would not automatically achieve the policy goals of improved health or better distribution of physicians.

Academic health centers: a troubled future.

Prologue: Academic health centers reflect the vast financial and human resources that America now invests in its system of medi-cal care delivery. Such centers, which operate a medical school and, in addition, at least one other health professional school, receive substantial funding from public sources, particularly research monies from the National Institutes of Health. In recent years, the stewards of these centers have found their traditional sources of funding squeezed because policymakers are riveted on the notion that medical costs must be moderated. In this essay, Eli Ginzberg, director of the Conservation of Human Resources at Columbia University and a long-time participant in the health policy sphere, sets out the evolution and current troubled state of the academic health center. Ginzberg, the author of countless books and an economics professor who has served in one capacity or another all presidents from Franklin D. Roosevelt to Jimmy Carter, has long been one of the nations most active analy...

Robotics and conservation of human resources

Due to rapid expansion in the field of robotics, policy issues have arisen in regard to developing human skills to deal with the new technology and to deal with the obsolescent human skills which are the inevitable result of this growth pattern. Industrialists, educators, union leaders, and government officials must work cooperatively to insure that the coming changes are made with minimum disruption. Improved training methods and courses have to be developed for the skills needed to control, manage and supervise the new machines. Some of the ways in which this can be accomplished are through offering financial incentives for investment in training and education; establishing more institutions to educate and train the workforce; cooperative public/private planning for future employment needs; and financial safety nets for workers who may be displaced by new technologies. The authors feel that these aims can only be accomplished through a massive national investment in education and skill-training across the whole spectrum of ages and social backgrounds — “an updated version of the GI Bill of Rights for the entire workforce.”

Stockman's Medical Marketplace Reexamined

Publishing at its best can be a lively dialogue between a journal's authors and its readership. One way of ensuring that this dialogue continues is the letter to the editor section which we are beginning with this issue. We encourage your responses to what you will be reading in future issues of Health Affairs . In this section, Eli Ginzberg, Director, Conservation of Human Resources at Columbia University and long-time health policy analyst, reexamines David Stockman's recent article “Premises for a Medical Marketplace: A Neoconservative's Vision of How to Transform the Health System.”

Human Resource Conservation in Crude-Oil Recovery

Human resource conservation is capable of being achieved along with energy resource conservation. The Crude-Oil Recovery Process (CORP) uses a single inerting/cleaning agent in a waterless, self-contained, closed-loop, remote-controlled and superport compatible system that eliminates human in-tank “mucking”. By using vaporous agent for inerting during discharge/refill operations, system safety is significantly increased. The same agent, in its liquid state, is used as an effective cleaning agent. CORP eliminates expensive and hazardous gas-freeing procedures and facilitates recovery of otherwise-lost agent and energy resources, while reducing air and water pollution, and improving human safety, morale, and growth potential.
