Monads, Composition, and Force
The Paradox of Sufficient Reason
It can be shown by means of a paradox that, given the Principle of Sufficient Reason (PSR), there is no conjunction of all contingent truths. The question is, or ought to be, how to interpret that result: Quid sibi velit? A celebrated argument against PSR due to Peter van Inwagen and Jonathan Bennett in effect interprets the result to mean that PSR entails that there are no contingent truths. But reflection on parallels in philosophy of mathemati…
On Two Theories of Substance in Leibniz
The article is a critical notice of Daniel Garber, Leibniz: Body, Substance, Monad. Garber presents a developmental reading of Leibniz's metaphysics that focuses on Leibniz's evolving analysis of body and force as the key to his account of substance. Garber claims that Leibniz shifts from an early theory of body to a theory of corporeal substance in his middle years, and only develops a theory of monads in his later writings—and that even then Le…
Cost-Effectiveness of Case Management in Substance Abuse Treatment
Objective: The purpose of this study, which is part of a larger clinical trial, was to examine the cost-effectiveness of case management for individuals treated for substance abuse in a residential setting. Method: Clients who agreed to participate were randomly assigned to one of four study groups. Two groups received face-to-face case management and one telecommunication case management, and the fourth was the control group. Results: Using a ra…
Leibniz on Mathematics and the Actually Infinite Division of Matter
Yet if it can hardly be denied that Leibniz is one of those philosophers who join metaphysics to mathematics, still, very little attention has actually been paid to the union of those two disciplines in his philosophy. Most recent trends in the study of Leibniz's metaphysics are finding it to be dominated by a theory of broadly logical concepts, or a philosophy of mind and action, or a theology, in which his mathematics plays at best only an inci…
Rural‐Urban Differences in Access to Iowa Child Health Services
Indicators of access, utilization, and quality of available child health services as well as health status were obtained through a telephone survey of Iowa households with children under age six. These indicators were compared for rural‐urban subsamples within an AFDC sample drawn from Iowa Department of Human Service files (N=637), and within poverty (N=129) and nonpoverty groups (N=631) drawn from the population of all households in the state w…
RUGs and Equity of Access to Nursing Home Care
Case-adjusted prospective reimbursement systems, such as resource utilization groups (RUGs), may promote nursing home cost containment, but they may do no better than existing systems at encouraging homes to admit the more dependent and thus costlier Medicaid patients, if the homes' reluctance to admit these patients is due to a shortage of nursing home beds. Using 1983 data on Wisconsin nursing homes, this paper presents evidence that suggests t…
Health Administration for What
The Long-Term Care Marketplace
This study analyzes the institutional, economic, and regulatory deficiencies of the long-term care sector of the health industry and develops an incentive reimbursement model as a means for correcting or ameliorating some of the stated deficiencies. The reimbursement model presents a schema which attempts to match patients to facilities, needs to services, and services to cost. A capital expansion coupon program is proposed, both as a suitable ve…
