Ground water quality in Jodhpur Western Rajasthan
Water is source of living world. Aridity in the State of Rajasthan including Jodhpur district has caused not only scarcity of water resources but also adversely affected quality of precious groundwater assets. In view of acute water crisis, water resources studies (especially hydro-geochemical investigations causing health hazards) were carried out in different block of Jodhpur district for identifying various water related issues and to explore …
Assessment of groundwater quality in parts of Bikaner District, Rajasthan
Rajasthan's Bikaner District, part of the Thar Desert, is experiencing problems with falling groundwater levels, high salinity, fluoride and nitrate concentrations. Therefore, groundwater quality studies are underway to determine the suitability of groundwater for drinking purposes in the Bikaner district. Quality analysis is performed using parameters such as Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), pH, Calcium, Potassium, Sodium, Nitrat…
Interprofessional Collaboration and Team Effectiveness of Pharmacists in General Practice: A Cross-National Survey
As team-based care continues to evolve, pharmacists have been included in general practice teams in many countries, to varying extents, to improve medication use and patient safety. However, evidence on interprofessional collaboration and team effectiveness of pharmacists in general practice is sparse. This study aimed to compare the extent of interprofessional collaboration and team effectiveness of general practice pharmacists in Australia with…
HRSA-funded Health Centers Are an Important Source of Care and Reduce Unmet Needs in Primary Care Services
BACKGROUND: Evidence indicates the unmet need for primary care services including medical, mental health, and dental care is greater among uninsured and Medicaid beneficiaries than privately insured individuals, many of whom use Health Resources and Services Administration-funded health centers (HRSA HCs). OBJECTIVE: We examined differences in rates of unmet need between low-income uninsured and Medicaid patients of HRSA HCs and safety-net clinic…
Modeling the migration of cultural goods: A macro-economic study of domestic Chinese cinema
This article investigates the migration of cultural goods such as movies in the burgeoning commercial exhibition marketplace of China. Based on prior research on the movie industry and theatrical releases, this empirical study models the dynamic relationships between cinema attendance and the number of cinema screens in response to consumer mindset shifts in terms of predetermined and exogenous variables. These relationships are established and e…
Virtue and Self-Interest in Xenophon’s Memorabilia 3.9.4–5
Are people at bottom motivated entirely by self-interest? Or do they act only sometimes out of self-interest, and sometimes for other reasons—say, to help out a friend for her own sake, with no expectation of being benefitted in return? Scholars have often thought they could discern in the works of classical Greek thinkers a commitment to psychological egoism , the thesis that one is motivated to act only by considerations of the expected benefit…
The Association of Patient-centered Medical Home Designation With Quality of Care of HRSA-funded Health Centers: A Longitudinal Analysis of 2012–2015

METHODS: Data came from the 2012 to 2015 Uniform Data System, health centers' PCMH recognition status, and the Area Resource File. Health center was the unit of observa…
Investments to reverse biodiversity loss are economically beneficial
Reversing biodiversity loss by 2020 is the objective of the 193 countries that are party to the global Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). In this context, the Aichi Biodiversity Targets 2020 were agreed upon by the CBD in Nagoya, Japan in 2010 and this was followed by asking a high-level panel to make an assessment of the financial resources needed to achieve these targets globally. First, we review the literature on the costs and benefits…

Health Care Use and Spending for Medicaid Enrollees in Federally Qualified Health Centers Versus Other Primary Care Settings
Objectives. To compare health care use and spending of Medicaid enrollees seen at federally qualified health centers versus non–health center settings in a context of significant growth. Methods. Using fee-for-service Medicaid claims from 13 states in 2009, we compared patients receiving the majority of their primary care in federally qualified health centers with propensity score–matched comparison groups receiving primary care in other settings…
Phaedo 100b3-9
The paper examines a puzzling sequence of verb tenses at Phaedo 100b3-9. It rejects the idea, almost universal among commentators, that the puzzle is to be solved by construing the first verbal expression as if it were equivalent to a future. The paper then offers another solution and explores its implications for understanding the broader philosophical context of the passage. What emerges is that the new solution provides a valuable clue to figu…

Design Principles for Doing Business on Second Life: An immersive ethnographic study
This paper addresses the question of designing a virtual world business. A popular and economically thriving community - namely Second Life (www.lindenlab.com) - was selected for the research investigation. From an extensive literature review, a conceptual framework was developed in order to model the four most thriving industries on Second Life: (1) Real Estate, (2) Building, (3) Fashion, and (4) Entertainment. A six-month immersive ethnographic…
What is aristotle’s "third man" argument against the forms?
Among Aristotle’s criticisms of the Forms, the argument labelled ‘the Third Man’ is commonly viewed as one of the most significant. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most obscure. Although the argument is mentioned several times in the Metaphysics and dis cussed once in the Sophistical Refutations, it is not fully explained in either work. At best, Aristotle offers several clues as to its proper interpretation. Things seem better if one looks …
