Transnational Trade

AbstractGlobalization is not simply a matter of transnational trade, and of the state, non-state and supra-state legal regimes which facilitate, regulate or resist it; it also involves transnational social, cultural, intellectual and ideological forces. These forces play upon strategically located knowledge-based elites which play an important role in restructuring the legal fields by which public and public and private institutions are constituted. Canada's experience of globalization—unique because of proximity to the United States—has been both exemplified and, in part, shaped by the fate of its knowledge-based elites, including the business community (especially that part of it involved directly or indirectly with transnational corporations), academics and intellectuals, lawyers, artists and other cultural figures, and individuals involved in politics and public administration. Because of the effects of this “globalization of the mind” upon the institutions which all of these elites inhabit, state and non-state legal fields associated with them have been transformed.

Responsibility Of Government

The Publicness discussed here exists when the society as a whole is working hard on behalf of its hungry and unsafe. Such work is not the responsibility of government alone but its private institutions as well. When studied closely, one finds in the United States a remarkably diverse and interpenetrated array of antipoverty activity across the public and private arenas. Its totality is regarded as an aggregate and identifiable yet scarcely recognized realm of pan-society activity named Publicness. Whether its present extent is sufficient is most doubtful.

Power And Influence

In teaching political science courses in American government, public policy, and public administration, students have considerable difficulty in conceptualizing the complexity of the two essential values of democratic capitalism.Those values are equality, espousing the values of democracy, and efficiency, depicting the rationale of capitalism.The purpose of this brief essay is to conceptualize more clearly the setting of the infrastructure of public and private relations in the United States. These clusters of power and influence will enable students to comprehend more easily the dynamics of political economy in the United States.

ResumenPeruko Ccopacatty es un escultor egresado de la Escuela Nacional Superior Autónoma de Bellas Artes del Perú (Ensabap) a principios de la década de 1980 emigró a los Estados Unidos, donde ha realizado una incansable labor de producción escultórica y mural especialmente en espacios públicos. Reconocida por instituciones públicas y privadas de su país de residencia, e incluso por la misma Organización de las Naciones Unidas, su obra ha pasado injustamente inadvertida en el Perú. Este artículo describe su proceso a la luz de las escasas fuentes disponibles y a partir de la exposición homenaje, realizada en mayo y junio del 2019 en el Centro Cultural de Bellas Artes como parte de las actividades de conmemoración del Centenario de la Ensabap. Se revisan su estilo, su simbolismo y su trayectoria, y se proponen líneas de investigación hacia el rescate de un corpus disperso y el reconocimiento de su sorprendente trayectoria.Palabras clave: tradición aymara, arte en espacios públicos, Ensabap, escultura en metal, multiculturalidad, muralismo, Pedro Peruko Ccopacatty. AbstractPeruko Ccopacatty is a sculptor who graduated from the Ensabap, who emigrated to the United States in the early '80s, where he has carried out a tireless work of sculptural and mural production, especially in public spaces. Recognized by public and private institutions in his country of residence, and even by the United Nations itself, his work has gone unjustly unnoticed in Peru. This article describes his process in light of the scarce sources available and the homage exhibition held in May and June 2019 at the Centro Cultural de Bellas Artes as part of the activities to commemorate the Centennial of Ensabap. Its style, symbolism, and trajectory are reviewed, and lines of investigation are proposed towards the rescue of a dispersed corpus and the recognition of its amazing trajectory.Keywords: art in public spaces, aymara tradition, Ensabap, metal sculpture, monumental art, multiculturality, mural painting, Pedro Peruko Ccopacatty.

The internationalization of Big Science programs such as the Human Genome Project to map the human genome heralds the arrival of a new model for knowledge-based urban development driven by scientific advancements in biotechnology. Indeed, the biotechnology industry is a potent engine for knowledge-based urban development around the globe. While the most famous example of biotechnology-driven knowledge-based urban development is Biopolis in Singapore, the National Capitol region of the United States is home to an emerging biotechnopole known as DNA Valley. Using a case study approach to compare and contrast DNA Valley with past examples of knowledge-based urban development in the United States, this chapter highlights the challenges for sustainable knowledge-based urban development in the global biotechnology industry and the practical steps public and private stakeholders can adopt to sustain knowledge-based urban development based on biotechnology.

Abstract Objective.—To determine the normative rates of expiration and wastage for units of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) and platelets (PLTs) in hospital communities throughout the United States, and to examine hospital blood bank practices associated with more desirable (lower) rates. Design.—In 3 separate studies, participants in the College of American Pathologists Q-Probes laboratory quality improvement program collected data retrospectively on the numbers of units of FFP and PLTs that expired (outdated) prior to being used and that were wasted due to mishandling. Participants also completed questionnaires describing their hospitals' and blood banks' laboratory and transfusion practices. Setting and Participants.—One thousand six hundred thirty-nine public and private institutions, more than 80% of which were known to be located in the United States. Main Outcome Measures.—Quality indicators of FFP and PLT utilization: the rates of expiration and wastage of units of FFP and PLTs. Results.—Participants submitted data on 8 981 796 units of FFP and PLTs. In all 3 studies, aggregate combined FFP and PLT expiration rates ranged from 5.8% to 6.4% and aggregate combined FFP and PLT wastage rates ranged from 2.0% to 2.5%. Among the top-performing 10% of participants (90th percentile and above), FFP and PLT expiration rates were 0.6% or lower and FFP and PLT wastage rates were 0.5% or lower. Among the bottom-performing 10% of participants (10th percentile and below), expiration rates were 13.8% or higher and wastage rates were 6.8% or higher. We were unable to associate selected hospital characteristics or blood bank practices with lower rates of FFP and PLT utilization. Conclusions.—The rates of FFP and PLT expiration and wastage vary greatly among hospitals in the United States. Hospital blood bank personnel are capable of achieving FFP and PLT expiration and wastage rates below 1%.

This chapter presents empirical evidence of origin-country diaspora programs with a focus on immigrant integration. It draws from examples of programs focused on education, health, financial literacy, and labor rights, carried out mainly by Mexico throughout its consular network in the United States. Through interviews, it examines the ways in which these programs have emerged and evolved, emphasizing the coalitions formed among consulates, public and private institutions in the United States, and migrant organizations. Through relationships of trust established through consulates, migrants and partner organizations, these programs connect migrants with precarious legal status to institutions in the country of destination that support their access to services to ensure the protection of their social rights, which then enable them to claim and exercise political rights.

The United States Bureau of Efficiency (BOE), which had been established in 1916, was abolished in 1933 when President Hoover signed an omnibus appropriation bill on his last full day in office. Given Hoover's commitment to businesslike and efficient management and his ongoing support for the work of the Bureau throughout his presidency, what if he had acted differently and prevented its abolition? This fictional public administration history explores how Hoover could have kept BOE in existence and, if he had, how six of his successors might have treated the agency as part of their administrations.

Wastewater surveillance for the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an emerging approach to help identify the risk of a coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak. This tool can contribute to public health surveillance at both community (wastewater treatment system) and institutional (e.g., colleges, prisons, and nursing homes) scales. This paper explores the successes, challenges, and lessons learned from initial wastewater surveillance efforts at colleges and university systems to inform future research, development and implementation. We present the experiences of 25 college and university systems in the United States that monitored campus wastewater for SARS-CoV-2 during the fall 2020 academic period. We describe the broad range of approaches, findings, resources, and impacts from these initial efforts. These institutions range in size, social and political geographies, and include both public and private institutions. Our analysis suggests that wastewater monitoring at colleges requires consideration of local information needs, sewage infrastructure, resources for sampling and analysis, college and community dynamics, approaches to interpretation and communication of results, and follow-up actions. Most colleges reported that a learning process of experimentation, evaluation, and adaptation was key to progress. This process requires ongoing collaboration among diverse stakeholders including decision-makers, researchers, faculty, facilities staff, students, and community members.
