Phyllis Sharps, PhD, RN, CNE, FAAN, is a professor and chair, Department of Community Public Health Nursing, Johns Hopkins University, School of Nursing, Baltimore, MD. I ntimate partner violence (IPV) can occur against women or men and be perpetrated by women or men. However, the severity of IPV and its impact differs between men and women. Women are more likely than men to report on-going fea...

BACKGROUND Reimbursement systems provide incentives to health care providers and may drive physician behaviour. This review assesses the impact of reimbursement system on socioeconomic and racial inequalities in access, utilization and quality of primary care. METHODS A systematic search was performed in Web of Science and PubMed for English language studies published between 1980 and 2013, s...

Brosnan et al. (Brosnan, S. F. Schiff, H. C. & de Waal, F. B. M. 2005 Tolerance for inequity may increase with social closeness in chimpanzees. Proc. R. Soc. B272, 253-258) found that chimpanzees showed increased levels of rejection for less-preferred food when competitors received better food than themselves and postulated as an explanation inequity aversion. In the present study, we extended ...

This paper extends the Cournot and Bertrand models of strategic interaction between firms by assuming that managers are not only profit maximizers, but also have preferences for reciprocity or are averse to inequity. A reciprocal manager responds to unkind behavior of rivals with unkind actions, while at the same time, it responds to kind behavior of rivals with kind actions. An inequity averse...

persons into those with myocardial infarction and those without (unstable angina), the death rates were identical after 2 years (11). The prognostic importance of a very low concentration of cardiac troponin has recently been confirmed by Morrow et al. (8), who found that troponin concentrations that were detectable but below that corresponding to an analytical CV of 10% had adverse prognostic ...

We classify localising subcategories of the stable module category of a finite group that are closed under tensor product with simple (or, equivalently all) modules. One application is a proof of the telescope conjecture in this context. Others include new proofs of the tensor product theorem and of the classification of thick subcategories of the finitely generated modules which avoid the use ...

Endovascular angioplasty and stenting (CAS) has evolved as an alternative for treating occlusive carotid diseases in recent years. Carotid diseases are characterized by manifold etiologies and miscellaneous clinical manifestations. Although CAS is efficacious in treating patients with occlusive carotid diseases as a whole, the long-term risk-benefit ratio may vary in individual patients. Interv...

Two families of q-Schur algebras associated to Hecke algebras of type D are introduced, and related to a family used by Geck, Gruber and Hiss [10], [11]. We prove that the algebras in one family, called the q-Schur algebras, are integrally free, stable under base change, and are standardly stratified if the base field has odd characteristic. In the so-called linear prime case of [10],[11], all ...
