Police grantsmanship: A case study

Police leadership is increasingly dependent on community oriented policing (COPS) federal grants because of diminishing financial resources. This paper demonstrates the importance of excellent police grantsmanship skills while simultaneously providing theoretical and concrete steps for achieving a successful grant package. Furthermore, a case study example is presented where COPS grants and federal funding assisted in the acquisition of community-oriented and problem-solving strategic objectives.     

齐奥尔科夫斯基与全球学

俄罗斯自然科学家齐奥尔科夫斯基是宇航学的奠基人,他通过宇航学影响了我们每个人的生活。他的宇宙哲学内涵丰富,既包含了宗教、哲学内容,同时又为人类指出一条通往＂完善、美好未来＂之路——飞向宇宙,是关于整个人类未来的庞大计划。通常认为,齐氏在技术文明理想和准则基础上制订的庞大的改造地球、征服宇宙计划,预言了当今时髦的稳定发展的思想。但是,齐氏提出的改造地球计划是极度反生态的,而且试图通过人类的宇宙扩张解决全球问题,目前看来存在很多问题。因此,摆在人类面前的任务是寻找符合后工业时代的理想和价值的、能够解决人类面临的全球危机的途径。     

Estimating mental health needs and service utilization among prison inmates.

A sample of 3,684 inmates in the New York State prison system was surveyed in May 1986 to determine the prevalence of psychiatric and functional disability and service utilization. It was estimated that 5 percent had a severe psychiatric disability, and 10 percent had significant psychiatric disability. The higher the level of disability, the greater the proportion of inmates that had received mental health services in the last 30 days and in the last year. Still, 45 percent of the severe disability group had no service contacts in the last year. Patterns of utilization differed significantly by sex (a greater proportion of women received services) and by race (a greater proportion of whites received services). The clinical factors associated with receipt of services varied considerably between men and women.     

A method for determining molybdenum in cadaveric material by using alkylphenylcyclohexylcarboxylic acid]

Alkylphenylcyclohexylcarboxylic acid was found to be an efficient extractant to extract molybdenum from the cadaveric material. Method suggested is simple enough for use and doesn't require considerable amounts of chemical reagents.     

Interest groups or the public interest--why do we regulate health occupations?

State regulation of occupations has become more prevalent even while its negative consequences are becoming understood. This raises questions about the source of such regulation and the extent to which the interests of the public are being represented. In my study of the regulation of health occupations, I explore the influence of organized interest groups, of the general public interest, and the structure of the legislature and the political environment. I analyze six health occupations (dietician, nurse-midwife, occupational therapist, physician assistant, psychologist, and social worker) and find that although organized interest groups do influence how these occupations are regulated, the public interest also plays an important role.
