First published in 1998, the aims of this book are: the comparison
of community care service and financing systems, the comparison of
reform arguments and history over the last decade, the comparison
of who uses how much of what services, and with what impact on
their needs and the probability of having to enter institutions for
long-term care. The book breaks new ground by comparing systems
from a new perspective and describing contemporary reform argument
and proposals for the first time in the English language. It
presents new evidence from the most ambitious collection and
analysis of quantative data so far made for the comparison of the
two countries (based on matched area samples collecting comparable
information about cohorts of new users on two or more occasions).
The book also shows how the need-related circumstances of users
differ between countries and within each country between areas. The
book shows how and why higher levels of the French cash benefit for
community care had more effect on the central policy goal than its
British counterpart, how higher levels of services generally had
little impact on it in either country, but on average, how the
effect of the British services were much greater.
This title was first published in 2000: Equity and Efficiency
Policy provides a completely new perspective on post-reform
community care, analyzes its fairness, effectiveness and efficiency
in a new way and uses its powerful new techniques applied to a
major national collection of evidence to suggest how to develop the
Modernization Agenda. It - describes, for the first time, how
differences in the levels of each of the main services alone and in
combination affect a wide range of user and carer benefits; - uses
this knowledge to analyze in a new way and make policy proposals
about some of the pressing policy issues of the government's
Modernization Agenda.

This book presents the current approaches for insect pest control
as a "green" alternative to classical and more toxaic
agrochemicals. An overview of the recent advances in insecticide
chemistry is also included, which will be of interest to a vast
group of researchers - agrochemists, biochemists, chemists and
toxicologists. The combination of both chemical and toxicological
aspects of insecticides is unique and the book includes
contributions from synthetic chemists, entomologists,
environmentalists and toxicologists giving it wide appeal.
Throughout the book, the different approaches that involve "greener
chemicals" are emphasized. The book is divided into 9 chapters,
each considering the state of art of each family of insecticides,
together with future expectations. Each chapter gives a description
of useful biorational insecticides, highlighting
environmentally-friendly processes and then the mode of action is
fully-described, emphasizing selectivity towards targeted species.
Finally, for every family of compounds, their environmental effects
(toxicity, bioaccumulation and metabolism) is considered, comparing
them to classical insecticides, including human and environmental
risk assessments. In addition the formulation, dispersal and
persistence in the environment are covered as key aspects in
developing greener agrochemicals. The book also includes a general
introduction to entomology, with special emphasis on those insects
that act as vectors in the spread of diseases. Insects that may be
potential pests against humans and livestock are included, focusing
on their life cycles, and physiology, as a logical comprehension of
mode of action of insecticides. In addition there is a chapter on
classical insecticides (covering both, approaches prior to the
chemical era, and classical chemical insecticides,
organochlorinated, organophosphorus, and carbamates) for comparison
with current trends in pest control. The negative environmental
effects that such insecticides have caused in nature, such as
poisonings, bioaccumulation or toxic effects are highlighted. It is
hoped that the use of more specific agrochemicals and approaches
may avoid, or at least considerably reduce such severe and
irreversible effects in nature. The insecticides covered are
considered from numerous points of views: chemistry, toxicological
profile, risk assessment, legal status, environmental behaviour and
selectivity. The most important families of currently used
insecticides are covered and critical discussions about future
perspectives are included with frequent comparisons to classical
insecticides. The following topics are covered in the book, as
greener alternatives to classical insecticides: " Pyrethrins and
pyrethroids " Neonicotinoids " Spynosins " Insect growth regulators
" Botanical insecticides " Microbial insecticides " Integrated Pest

Accounting information, on the one hand, allows government
officials to obtain better information to support greater decision
making, transparency, and accountability. On the other hand, this
financial information also allows local citizens more access to
knowledge of how public resources are being managed and used by the
local government entities. Measuring the pros and cons of this
information may determine how certain officials remain in office
while others do not. Financial Determinants in Local Re-Election
Rates: Emerging Research and Opportunities is a collection of
innovative research that assesses whether accounting information
and other factors have an impact on electoral results, which in
turn impact re-election in local government. While highlighting
topics including political financing, voting behavior, and capital
spending, this book is ideally designed for political analysts,
politicians, government officials, researchers, policymakers,
public policy managers, financial analysts, academicians, and
students seeking current research on financial information and
other factors having an impact on electoral results.

This book identifies the potential of intellectual property as a
competitive asset for Latin American firms. The authors employ a
cognitive approach that involves identifying why small firms are
reluctant to register patents, resorting rather to alternative IP
competitive strategies. This, in turn, results in the
undercapitalization of intellectual assets, thus creating hurdles
for the development of capital venture markets. Using new data
gathered from highly innovative SMEs in Latin America and the
Caribbean, the authors bring a fresh cognitive approach towards
understanding the institutional role of intellectual property, and
outline various new policy recommendations.

Late Antiquity witnessed a major transformation in the authority
and power of the Episcopate within the Church, with the result that
bishops came to embody the essence of Christianity and increasingly
overshadow the leading Christian laity. The rise of Episcopal power
came in a period in which drastic political changes produced long
and significant conflicts both within and outside the Church. This
book examines these problems in depth, looking at bishops' varied
roles in both causing and resolving these disputes, including those
internal to the church, those which began within the church but had
major effects on wider society, and those of a secular nature.
