Research has paid little attention to date on how European Union
law and regulation affect both the public-private mix in healthcare
and the organization of private health insurance as an industry.
Filling this gap, this collective book provides insights on the
political economy of EU insurance regulation, its impact on private
health insurers and on its interactions with domestic healthcare
policy-making in four countries. Assembling original contributions
drafted by a multidisciplinary team, Private Health Insurance and
the European Union offers a thorough examination of a largely
unrecognized source of EU influence in healthcare - and sheds a new
light on the role played by private actors in social policy.

This 14th volume in the PUILS series presents up-to-date reviews of
advances in Ultrafast Intense Laser Science, an interdisciplinary
research field spanning atomic and molecular physics, molecular
science, and optical science, which has been stimulated by the
rapid developments in ultrafast laser technologies. Each chapter
begins with an overview of the topics to be discussed, so that
researchers unfamiliar to the subfield, as well as graduate
students, can grasp the importance and appeal of the respective
subject matter; this is followed by reports on cutting-edge
discoveries. This volume covers a broad range of topics from this
interdisciplinary field, e.g. atoms and molecules interacting in
intense laser fields, laser-induced filamentation, high-order
harmonics generation, and high-intensity lasers and their
applications.
Light-hearted rom-com starring Michelle Pfeiffer as a divorcee who
falls for a younger man, just as her daughter is experiencing love
for the first time. After years devoting herself to her career,
Rosie (Pfeiffer) has finally met Adam (Paul Rudd), someone who
ticks all her boxes - tall, dark, handsome... and young? At the
same time, Rosie's teenager daughter Izzie (Saoirse Ronan), is
beginning to feel something stirring everytime she runs into one of
the local boys - could it be love? Things get even more complicated
when Mother Nature (Tracey Ullman) appears on the scene, dispensing
her mischief to one and all.
Using an innovative approach, this book focuses on a widely debated
area of phonetics and phonology: intonation, and specifically its
relation to metrics, its interface with syntax, and whether it can
be attributed more to phonetics or phonology, or equally to both.
Drawing on data from six Romance languages (French, Italian,
Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan and Romanian), whose rich intonation
patterns have long been of interest to linguists, Philippe Martin
challenges the assumptions of traditional phonological approaches,
and re-evaluates the data in favour of a new usage-based model of
intonation. He proposes a unified description of the sentence
prosodic structure, focusing on the dynamic and cognitive aspects
of both production and perception of intonation in speech, leading
to a unified grammar of Romance languages' sentence intonation.
This book will be welcomed by researchers and advanced students in
phonetics and phonology.

Master all the concepts and tools necessary to start administering
a Kubernetes cluster and deploying applications to production. You
will cover the entire curricula of the two Kubernetes
certifications (for application developers and administrators). The
initial chapters guide you through deployment of a Kubernetes
cluster on virtual machines and explore the different components of
the control plane. Next, you will work with the kubectl
command-line tool; namespaces, labels, selectors, and
annotations-common resources used through the Kubernetes API. The
following chapters describe the principle of controllers and detail
how workload controllers work as well as the possibilities for
configuring deployed applications. You will also learn how to
deploy a scalable and self-healing application, how pods are
scheduled to nodes, how parts of the application can communicate,
and how the application is discoverable from the outside. Next, you
will cover security concerns describing the different
authentication methods, the RBAC authorization mode, security
contexts, network policies, and how to secure container images. You
will also cover using persistent volumes for your containers to
store long-term data, monitoring your clusters and applications and
implementing design patterns for multi-container pods. The
concluding chapters guide you through the upgrade of your deployed
cluster. After reading this book, you will have enough knowledge to
deploy a complex application using a Kubernetes cluster and be
ready for the certification exams. What You Will Learn Deploy a
Kubernetes cluster with kubeadm and learn how the control plane
works Discover how the Kubernetes API is structured Deploy secure,
auto-scaled, and self-healing applications Master the kubectl
command-line tool Who This Book Is For Administrators and
application developers with good knowledge of micro-services
development and deployment.
This book begins by introducing the structure of the Kubernetes API
and which operations it serves. Following chapters demonstrate how
to write native Kubernetes resources definitions using Go
structures defined in the API and API Machinery libraries.
Miscellaneous utilities are described to help you work with
different resource fields and to convert your resource definitions
to or from YAML or JSON. Next, you will learn how to interact with
the Kubernetes API server to create, delete, update, and monitor
resources in a cluster using the client-go library. A complete
chapter is devoted to tools provided to test your programs using
the client-go library. An example follows to wrap up the first part
of the book, describing how to write a kubectl plugin. Next, you
will learn how to extend the Kubernetes API using Custom Resource
Definitions, and how to write Kubernetes resources in a generic way
as well as how to create your own resources using the unstructured
concept. The next chapters delve into the controller-runtime
library, useful for extending Kubernetes by writing operators, and
the kubebuilder framework, which leverages this library, to help
you start writing operators in minutes. After reading this book,
you will have a deep understanding of the Kubernetes API's
structure and how Kubernetes resources are organized within it, and
have at your disposal a complete toolbox to help you write
Kubernetes clients and operators. What You Will Learn Understand

The development of clusters of economic activity is an important
feature of industrial policy. Industry clusters have long
fascinated economists and geographers alike, the most renowned
being Silicon Valley which is seen by many as the blueprint for
regional development, innovation, and growth. Several clusters have
also developed across Europe, including SiliconFen in Cambridge and
Minalogic in Grenoble, and in recent years cluster policies have
become popular among policy makers as a useful tool for informing
decisions on industrial, regional, and public policy. This book
looks at the mechanisms at work behind cluster dynamics, the gains
that can be expected from increased clustering, and the
determinants of cluster policies. Focusing on France, it provides a
theoretical and empirical study of clusters, their success and
failures, and the policy lessons that can be applied to the wider
international community. France is particularly interesting because
there is a long tradition of strong government intervention
regarding the location of economic activity, and cluster
initiatives are relatively unified across the country. This book
shows that, whilst gains from clusters do exist, some firms tend to
cluster too much and that spatial agglomeration is only successful
to a point, after which congestion effects can offset these gains.
It questions the need and the feasibility of cluster policies aimed
at interfering directly in the concentration process of firms, and
thus looks beyond the general enthusiasm for clusters.

Photoionization, femtosecond laser induced filamentation and laser
particle acceleration.
Research on the spatial aspects of economic activity has
flourished over the past decade due to the emergence of new theory,
new data, and an intense interest on the part of policymakers,
especially in Europe but increasingly in North America and
elsewhere as well. However, these efforts--collectively known as
the "new economic geography"--have devoted little attention to the
policy implications of the new theory.
"Economic Geography and Public Policy" fills the gap by
illustrating many new policy insights economic geography models can
offer to the realm of theoretical policy analysis. Focusing
primarily on trade policy, tax policy, and regional policy, Richard
Baldwin and coauthors show how these models can be used to make
sense of real-world situations. The book not only provides much
fresh analysis but also synthesizes insights from the existing
literature.
The authors begin by presenting and analyzing the widest range
of new economic geography models to date. From there they proceed
to examine previously unaddressed welfare and policy issues
including, in separate sections, trade policy (unilateral,
reciprocal, and preferential), tax policy (agglomeration with taxes
and public goods, tax competition and agglomeration), and regional
policy (infrastructure policies and the political economy of
regional subsidies). A well-organized, engaging narrative that
progresses smoothly from fundamentals to more complex material,
"Economic Geography and Public Policy" is essential reading for
graduate students, researchers, and policymakers seeking new
approaches to spatial policy issues.
