Petty corruption in health care.
"Petty corruption and honesty in all health care systems" is the original title of one of the bioethics networks within the worldwide study projects of the International Association of Bioethics. As the coordinator of this network, it still puzzles me why the word "petty" is in the title when in the past few years-through interviews and questionnaires involving 18 countries-it has become eviden...
متن کاملPetty Corruption and Citizen Reports
This paper argues that self-reporting schemes whereby citizens report their noncompliance with regulation can prevent corruption in administrations. In our model, entrepreneurs must comply with regulation before undertaking a risky activity. O cials verify compliance before granting permits, and may engage in either bribery or extortion. Without a self-reporting scheme, the government tolerates...
متن کاملThe L-busemann-petty Centroid Inequality
The ratio between the volume of the p-centroid body of a convex body K in Rn and the volume of K attains its minimum value if and only if K is an origin symmetric ellipsoid. This result, the Lp-Busemann-Petty centroid inequality, was recently proved by Lutwak, Yang and Zhang. In this paper we show that all the intrinsic volumes of the p-centroid body of K are convex functions of a time-like par...
متن کاملValuations and Busemann–Petty Type Problems
Projection and intersection bodies define continuous and GL(n) contravariant valuations. They played a critical role in the solution of the Shephard problem for projections of convex bodies and its dual version for sections, the Busemann– Petty problem. We consider the question whether ΦK ⊆ ΦL implies V (K) ≤ V (L), where Φ is a homogeneous, continuous operator on convex or star bodies which is...
متن کاملComplete Genome of Acinetobacter baumannii Podophage Petty
Acinetobacter baumannii is an emerging pathogen that was isolated from wounded soldiers in military treatment facilities in Iraq but has since become a problem in civilian hospitals. Here, we announce and describe the complete genome of the KMV-like A. baumannii podophage Petty.
