Case Basis

This chapter explains the activities of for-profit recruiters who match workers in one country with jobs in another. Governments regulate the fees that recruiters can charge to local workers, but not the fees they charge foreign employers. Most recruiters who provide low-skilled workers to foreign employers are agents, seeking job offers and then finding workers to fill jobs on a case-by-case basis rather than partners who specialize in providing particular types of workers to one or a few employers. Agent recruiters have incentives to maximize their revenues from each transaction, since they do not know if there will be repeat business.

Sustainable Economic Growth

Research Purpose/Scope: A dichotomy flows between the traditional Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs henceforth) cluster and newly established cluster in the context of their emergence, evolution and growth. Now, following the path of big industries, MSME have linked itself with the economies of scale, entrepreneurship, venture capital and knowledge management Here, Kanpur Nagar District has been taken as resource region where the research reflected that this region has the potentiality to become the driver of cluster based economic growth. The research paper dealt with the economic fundamentals of region, comparative advantages of innovation and market technology factors which are responsible for the growth and sustainability of the MSME cluster in Kanpur Nagar District. Materials and Methods: The empirical study of selected MSME’s which have mutual competitiveness & repulsion has been done. The tabular data has interpreted the composition, size, situation and association of MSME’s in the region. The linear diagrams has reflected the dooming share of MSME’s specially the leather and bristle-based clusters. A need and opportunity-based model will set a functional approach for the complementarity of the market (vertically and horizontally) and capacity building of firms. Findings of the Research Paper: A declining trend has been witnessed in the MSME’s because of sick firms and factories, unavailability of skilled workers and trainers, low capital assets of firms and inefficient companies. Clustering can create an effective supply chain for the viability of the market economy. It can improve the condition of firms and pool the money for the required infrastructure and investment for further upgradation. Therefore, it becomes imperative to go for clusterization based directive policies because there is a huge scope for profit sharing between government and local artisans. Establishment of Kanpur Nagar as a MSMEs cluster hotbed, will be a new challenge with major risks and responsibilities.

Global Movement

This is an advance summary of a forthcoming article in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Anthropology. Please check back later for the full article. The global migration of healthcare workers is one of the most widely studied issues in healthcare worldwide. Fueled by a global shortage of healthcare workers, this movement is considered a crisis in health sector human resources. Since the 1970’s, the need for skilled healthcare workers has increased in wealthy countries that have not been able to keep up with training and retaining enough labor force to fill demands and that have increasingly relied on foreign-trained healthcare workers. Migrants are motivated by push factors in their home countries and pull factors in receiving countries. While some countries are capitalizing on the market demand and are facilitating export of their workers, some poor countries that lost their skilled workers to more developed countries are concerned with brain drain. Private, for-profit recruitment firms are increasingly entering this market and shaping migration patterns. A general consensus of research in this field is that more work needs to be done globally to build the capacity for training healthcare workers, to increase recruitment and retention of healthcare workers in their local regions, and to manage the global movement of healthcare workers of their own accord.

The Court of Appeals of New York held, in Council of the City of New York u. Giuliani, slip op. 02634, 1999 WL 179257 (N.Y. Mar. 30, 1999), that New York City may not privatize a public city hospital without state statutory authorization. The court found invalid a sublease of a municipal hospital operated by a public benefit corporation to a private, for-profit entity. The court reasoned that the controlling statute prescribed the operation of a municipal hospital as a government function that must be fulfilled by the public benefit corporation as long as it exists, and nothing short of legislative action could put an end to the corporation's existence.In 1969, the New York State legislature enacted the Health and Hospitals Corporation Act (HHCA), establishing the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) as an attempt to improve the New York City public health system. Thirty years later, on a renewed perception that the public health system was once again lacking, the city administration approved a sublease of Coney Island Hospital from HHC to PHS New York, Inc. (PHS), a private, for-profit entity.

The U.S

In California Dental Association v. FTC, 119 S. Ct. 1604 (1999), the U.S. Supreme Court reviewed a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit that a nonprofit affiliation of dentists violated section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTCA), 15 U.S.C.A. § 45 (1998), which prohibits unfair competition. The Court examined two issues: (1) the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) jurisdiction over the California Dental Association (CDA); and (2) the proper scope of antitrust analysis. The Court unanimously held that CDA was subject to FTC's jurisdiction, but split 5-4 in its finding that the district court's use of abbreviated rule-of-reason analysis was inappropriate.CDA is a voluntary, nonprofit association of local dental societies. It boasts approximately 19,000 members, who constitute roughly threequarters of the dentists practicing in California. Although a nonprofit, CDA includes for-profit subsidiaries that financially benefit CDA members. CDA gives its members access to insurance and business financing, and lobbies and litigates on their behalf. Members also benefit from CDA marketing and public relations campaigns.

Objective The objective of the study was to examine specific patterns of Twitter usage using common reference to tinnitus. Method The study used cross-sectional analysis of data generated from Twitter data. Twitter content, language, reach, users, accounts, temporal trends, and social networks were examined. Results Around 70,000 tweets were identified and analyzed from May to October 2018. Of the 100 most active Twitter accounts, organizations owned 52%, individuals owned 44%, and 4% of the accounts were unknown. Commercial/for-profit and nonprofit organizations were the most common organization account owners (i.e., 26% and 16%, respectively). Seven unique tweets were identified with a reach of over 400 Twitter users. The greatest reach exceeded 2,000 users. Temporal analysis identified retweet outliers (> 200 retweets per hour) that corresponded to a widely publicized event involving the response of a Twitter user to another user's joke. Content analysis indicated that Twitter is a platform that primarily functions to advocate, share personal experiences, or share information about management of tinnitus rather than to provide social support and build relationships. Conclusions Twitter accounts owned by organizations outnumbered individual accounts, and commercial/for-profit user accounts were the most frequently active organization account type. Analyses of social media use can be helpful in discovering issues of interest to the tinnitus community as well as determining which users and organizations are dominating social network conversations.
