Minimum-wage Connoisseurship and Everyday Boundary Maintenance: Brewing Inequality in Third Wave Coffee

The shift from Fordism to post-Fordism in the United States introduced vast changes to production and consumption practices. In contrast to the commercial enterprises of Fordism, the post-Fordist economy relies on fast-changing tastes and small, niche markets along with new cultural forms for inducing consumption and anchoring identities. This article focuses on the specialty (or “third wave”) coffee industry, where coffee is treated similarly to wine, which I argue is emblematic of a post-Fordist economy. Relying on data collected from over a year of ethnographic fieldwork, I argue that the specialty coffee industry represents a qualitative shift in the coffee industry, one that produces a new niche market and consumer base that commoditizes sensory experiences as embodied class dispositions. I argue that baristas perform a kind of labor that I term “minimum-wage connoisseurship,” where they receive minimum wage (and tips) along with additional payment in cultural and social capital that elevates their status as well as manufacture’s consent for dedicating their time, in and outside of work, and their bodies to the organization.

Industry payments to physicians and prescribing branded memantine and donepezil combination

ABSTRACTObjective:Once-daily extended-released memantine with donepezil (hereafter memantine/donepezil) may improve medication adherence but has a 60-fold higher cost compared to combined generic components. Little is known about factors associated with prescribing memantine/donepezil. We examined the association between pharmaceutical industry payments to physicians and prescribing memantine/donepezil in Medicare.Methods:A cross-sectional study. Using 2015-2016 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Open Payments and Part D prescription databases, we identified unique physicians who prescribed ≥11 memantine/donepezil prescriptions from 2015 to 2016. Outcome variable was the number of memantine/donepezil prescriptions written per physician per year. Key independent variable was physician receipt of industry payments defined in two models: (1) number of payments, and (2) amount of payment ($100 units) for memantine/donepezil received per physician per year. Multivariable Poisson regression was used, adjusting for potential confounders.Results:Among 4,895 unique eligible physicians in 2015-2016, the median number of memantine/donepezil prescriptions per physician per year was 19.5 (25th percentile=13, 75th percentile=32). Physicians received between 0 and 75 payments per year (median=1, 25th percentile=0, 75th percentile=2.5) for memantine/donepezil, totaling an average of $92 per year (median=$10.5, 25th percentile=$0, 75th percentile=$33.20). Every 1 additional payment received was associated with a 2% increase in new memantine/donepezil prescriptions prescribed per physician per year (rate ratio [RR]=1.02, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.02-1.02). Every $100 increase in payment for memantine/donepezil was associated with a 0.3% increase in new memantine/donepezil prescriptions prescribed per physician per pear (RR=1.003, 95% CI=1.002-1.004).Conclusions:Receipt of industry payments for memantine/donepezil was independently associated with increased likelihood of physician prescribing memantine/donepezil in Medicare.

Advertising break in sustainability of education

The aim set by the authors of the present article is to consider the psychological, pedagogical, legal and economic contexts of the negative impact of advertising in the media (mass media) on the creative potential of population. The novelty of the undertaken research lies in an attempt to comprehensively assess the cause-and-effect relationships of one of the sides of the process of developing students’ fragmented thinking, which reduces stability of the educational system and, consequently, the stability of the entire society. Materials and methods include a review of analytical assessments presented in the Scopus, Web of Science, CyberLeninka, RSCI and others databases, as well as application of the methodology of analysis, synthesis, generalization of the results of qualitative author’s and secondary research. As a result of the study, systemic violations of the legislation on the protection of children from information harmful to their mental health were revealed. The economic effect of the systematic appeal of the media to advertising contexts was shown, which arises contrary to the laws of the economy, when the service to the consumer (viewer, reader, user of IT technologies) is not requested, but forcibly provided, while the cancellation of it is realizable only with additional payment for ad blocking by third parties. The article also reveals the negative effect manifested in the political stability of society, resulting from the long-term destructive influence of advertising on the viewer’s thinking through the formation of fragmentary thinking of citizens, minimizing the level of their readiness to establish cause-and-effect relationships in assessing individual activity and events in society. In conclusion proposals are given for eliminating violations of the law and increasing the stability of society on the basis of increasing the stability of the education system to the negative impact of external education.

Development of medical insurance in the Russian Federation. At the crossroads. What's next?

The RF health care reform is gaining momentum. A thorough consideration should be given to the discussion on the need to exclude health insurance companies from the compulsory health insurance system (CHI). Formation of the National Health Care System of Russia is the main problem of the national health care at this stage of reforms. Additional payment for medical services in the CHI by the general public is not advisable. Changes in the regulatory framework of the CHI system is deemed to be the basis for reforming the system of compulsory and voluntary health insurance in Russia.

Can income-based co-payment rates improve disparity? The case of the choice between brand-name and generic drugs

Background Higher income population tend to prefer brand-name to generic drugs, which may cause disparity in access to brand-name drugs among income groups. A potential policy that can resolve such disparity is imposing a greater co-payment rate on high-income enrollees. However, the effects of such policy are unknown. We examined how patients’ choice between brand-name and generic drugs are affected by the unique income-based co-payment rates in Japan; 10% for general enrollees and 30% for those with high income among the elderly aged 75 and over. Methods We drew on cross-sectional price variation among commonly prescribed 311 drugs using health insurance claims data from a large prefecture in Japan between October 2013 and September 2014 to identify between-income-group differences in responses to differentiated payments. Results Running 311 multivariate logistic regression models controlling individual demographics, the median estimate indicated that high-income group was 3% (odds ratio = 0.97) less likely to choose a generic drug than the general-income group and the interquartile estimates ranged 0.92–1.02. The multivariate feasible generalized least squares model indicated high-income group’s higher likelihood to choose brand-name drugs than the general-income group without co-payment rate differentiation (p < 0.001). Such gap in the likelihood was attenuated by 0.4% (p = 0.027) with an US$1 increase in the difference in additional payment/month for brand-name drugs between income groups — no gap with US$10 additional payment/month. This attenuation was observed in drugs for chronic diseases only, not for acute diseases. Conclusions Income-based co-payment rates appeared to reduce disparity in access to brand-name drugs across income groups, in addition to reducing total medical expenditure among high-income group who shifted from brand-name drugs to generic ones due to larger drug price differences.

Analysis of dynamics of the medcine list in the government program «available medicines» for treatment of bronchial asthma

The problem of accessibility for socially significant goods for the population, among which the most important place occupy medicines in Ukraine, is very acute today. In this regard, the need for specific state interference through regulatory processes becomes relevant. One of the priority directions for increasing the availability of medicines is the Government of Ukraine has recognized reimbursement. The mechanism of full or partial payment of the cost of medicines used to counteract most socially significant diseases. One of these diseases is bronchial asthma (BA), since it affects all age groups of the population, and with ineffective control of the disease, the quality of life of patients is significantly reduced. The aim of the work is to study the range of medicines for the treatment of BA, included in the Government program «Accessible medicines» for the period 2017–2019 years. From April 1, 2017 to July 1, 2019, the Ministry of Health of Ukraine issued five orders, which approved the Register of medicines, the cost of which is subject to reimbursement. In the study analyzed all editions of the Register and found that with each update, the number of trade names (TN) of the medicines increased: for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases – by 56%, diabetes – by 92%, and BA – by 133%. During the 2017–2019 years, the number of international non-proprietary names (INNs) for the treatment of BA also increased: 3 times Beclomethasone, Budesonide 3.5 times, and Salbutamol is almost 2 times. Also, found that 87% of TN are imported and only 13% – domestic. Total of medicines for the treatment of asthma, the value of which is refundable imports 6 countries, the main segment of which is formed by Spain (31%) and Sweden (23%). The analysis of the size and amount of rejection and the amount of the surcharge for packaging allows us to establish that the percentage of medicines without an additional payment is approximately up to 50%. At 75% of the medicines for the treatment of BA, the amount of packing surcharge with each edition of the Register of medicines subject to reimbursement was increased by 2 medicines (Beckhazon-eco 100 mcg/dose and 250 mcg/dose) and 1 medicine (Budesonide-inteli 200 mcg/dose) – decreased 1 medicine (Budesonide-inteli 200 mcg/dose) subject to partial compensation only once. The conducted studies allow us to conclude that there is a need to improve the assortment policy in order to provide the pharmaceutical market with the available and necessary domestic medicines, in accordance with the needs of the population and the standards for the treatment of BA.
