...Health Care Utilization John Q Scenario John Q. recently moved to a rural community. He works full-time, but qualifies for Medicaid because of his low income. John has high blood pressure and his father recently had a heart attack. Thus, he decided to call to find out which providers nearby accept Medicaid. While there are local doctors, he discovered that the closest primary care physician who accepts Medicaid is a 40-minute drive and appointments must be made 2 weeks in advance due to the number of patients at the practice. In addition, the practice does not offer weekend or evening hours. John usually catches a ride to work with a friend or relies on public transportation. (University of Phoenix, 2012). Based on the above scenario, John Q. needs to see a doctor to keep from becoming a victim of a heart attack. There are many factors involved with John Q. using health care services. He has a low income, receives Medicare, no local physician available, limited transportation, and yet he has a need to see a doctor. These factors are described as predisposing, enabling, need, mutable, or immutable. The immutable factors cannot be changed, whereas the mutable factors could change. How dose one change them is the question? This question is important because the changes need to be made so that everyone can have access to health care no matter what area they live in. One of the major factors affecting John Q’s access...

...Introduction Living in a rural location is a quieter area to reside in with fewer options compared to a more congested urban area. When an individual is choosing a location to live in there are many factors to consider. Some of these factors include population, amenities, school, employment, and crime rates. Desirable locations vary based on an individual’s age, ethnicity, and career path. Choosing a place to live is something that should not be taken lightly. Buying a home will lock one into a mortgage and make it more difficult to get out, unlike a lease, when one rents a home there is more flexibility. Shopping Opportunities Typically in an urban location one will have more opportunities to shop and find needed items at any given moment at a more affordable price. In a rural setting, however, there is a smaller population and less of a demand for goods and a person would have a difficult time buying items that they need as well as paying a considerably higher price for the items. Supply and demand play a big role on the price and availability of goods and merchandise. In an urban area there are more stores that carry items so they have to be competitive and offer sales and lower prices so consumers will buy their products. Transportation An individual also needs to consider the travel expense associated with living in a rural area, as more...

...First of all it sounds like Sandwich Blitz is a unique business. With their offering of foods no other sandwich business has. This would be their main strength to keep the business above other shops that make sandwiches. Moving to a new city could be a strength with good opportunity for growth. This new market could open all kinds of possibilities. People like verity, with the right advertising opening in a new city could get them the exposer they need to become known nationwide. That alone could take there business to the next level. I also see one potential Weakness. In this new city sometimes people are hesitant to try new things. That could hurt them to start off in this new city. There is that possibility it may not take off in that city, just because there products they offer are not the usual in that city. The threats I see for them are the two new franchise operations that offer food and beverages similar to that of Sandwich Blitz. These threats are potentially big and would depend on a lot of things. One biggy is if one or both of these new franchises were to open in the some cities as their current franchise. That would take some business from Sandwich blitz. But if either one would open in the same neighborhood that could potentially put a big impact on their sales. Getting back to opportunity, the new competition could put a fire in their motivation. Dalman and Lei could come up with specials and use their experience in advertising to keep...

...Types of association and cooperation forms according to the Romanian laws The forms of association an cooperation between public administration entities and other public or private actors are very limited: * The development intra-community associations (DIA) – Law 215/2001 The cooperation structures with juridical personality created by the territorial administrative units to cooperate on development projects of local and regional interest or to deliver public services. * This structure is very restrictive in terms of the possible members of the association – only representatives of the local administration. Thus, the cooperation can only be initiated by the local or county councils, and the leadership of these associations is entirely formed by the representatives of the local and county councils * Basic financing – fixed sums from the local budgets of the members. * They only function as associative entities to implement infrastructure or public service projects financed from EU funds. * Does not function properly due to the decision-making process based on unanimity. * The Local Action Groups (LAG) – defined in the Rural National Development Plan Entities that represent public-private partnerships, composed of representatives of the public, private and civil sectors from a homogenous rural area, that will implement an integrated strategy for the development of the territory.

...Public Places, Private Spaces In Robyne S. Turner’s article “The Politics of Design and Development in the Postmodern Downtown”, the politics of urban planning of downtown locations in our modern cities is discussed. The tendency for the shift of the development of downtown areas towards an increasingly privatized space is unfavorable in many regards. It has caused this space to become a less democratic environment because of the lack of community involvement in urban planning. The focus of the privatized commercial industries is to maximize revenue through the building of luxurious hotels, expensive housing, corporate brand-name stores, clubs, bars, theaters, sports arenas, and other facilities that will attract consumers. The commercial industries and urban developers involved in the process of creating a commercialized downtown area intend to attract a large number of tourists and make them feel safe and secure in this fun, entertaining, and lively environment. However, the target audience is primarily tourists and wealthy individuals with a significant disposable income through “increasing their overall quality of life”. Often times, the public vision for maximizing the downtown space conflicts with that of the commercial developers because many people do not have the financial means to contribute to their goal of maximizing the city’s revenue. Therefore, their presence is discouraged. We are essentially fostering a focus on economic consumption instead of production, which...

...THE COUNTRY AND CITY LIFE If you have two choices: living in the countryside or living in the city, which one will you choose? Life in the city or life in the countryside has its own advantages and disadvantages. Some people think that living in the countryside is better, but some don’t think so, they say that life in the city is more convenient. There are lots of differences between them. First is about the environment. Life in the countryside is quiet and peaceful. The air is fresh because there are a lot of green trees and it has few factories. There are large paddy fields grow rice and green vegetables. There’s only a little traffic, so there’re fewer accidents. In the countryside, the market is small, it has fewer shops than the city. You’ll have to walk a long way to buy some things you need. But in the city, it’s always noisy and bustling. There’re many high buildings, museum, stadium, supermarket… The air is now polluted by the smoke from the means of transport, chemical factories and other things. The roads are always busy so there’re many accidents every week. The big markets are a lot. It also has many supermarkets that can give you a wide variety of selections. Every thing is under one roof. You can buy anything you want without noticing about the weather. Second, the people in the countryside are very friendly. We can easily know all the people in our neighborhood and make friends. When you get in trouble, they are willing to help you. They always solidarity...

Example: Vélo’v in Lyon How did the French City of Lyon encourage thousands of people to use the bicycle as urban transport mode within a few months?

...Class 8 Assignment I think that a lot can be done within your community through the ideas or concepts of art. I think it was obviously on display during our last class with the panel’s discussions. There were groups present on what the crime and murder rates are like in the city and combining that information directly to arts groups that are striving to make changes was a perfect example. Hearing the information and then seeing how it is directly related to other organizations was eye-opening. The after school band program was brilliant and I have a lot of respect for that as I myself working with inner city kids in other cities, wanted to start a program similar to that one. However, I obviously was not old enough to start such a program and have put it off until a later time in my life. Art has a way of effecting and changing the soul of a person (just like other extra-curricular activities) that can be applied to life and keep people off the streets and prevent crime. The problem that I’ve seen so far though is that everyone is working to stop murder and crime before it starts from the ground up (education, music, etc.), but there aren’t many programs with the police and what not that are currently addressing the issues that stand. These are after the children has reached the age of 15 and have been taught different ways. Who is going to teach them? Who is taking this into account? I agree address the problem from a young age, but then what do you do to address...

...City of Memories I feel the moment coming, the feeling of a cool breeze just like the same feeling I get when I chew a minty fresh gum. My heart senses each breeze of wind as it strikes my face and soon my heart is addicted to this feeling of coolness. The trees look alive as if they are dancing and the sun is shining bright, but not to the point where it’s burning hot. As I walk down the city streets, the sight of sky towers and magnificent buildings appear before my sight. The people that are in the city are singing and dancing to express their love for the city too. When I see these lively people it makes me want to celebrate and share each other’s culture just like they do. After walking another mile, I arrived at Chinatown, which is the place that feels like home to me. The sight of seeing the majority being Asians brings passion to my heart. My walk continues until I stop in front of the restaurant called the Koi Palace. This is where I had real authentic Chinese food which I have not had in ten years. My friends or family always walk out of there with a stomach that is ready to explode. Right across the restaurant is a boba place where me and my friends have a drink and start conversations. That place used to be our hangout spot, but now it’s flooded with people from different schools and even different cultures. The next stop was downtown and downtown was constantly filled with animated people. Walking through downtown hearing either jazz or the blues playing on the...

...Urbanization has occurred in numerous developing countries since World War II and this trend is expected to continue. Urbanization is the increase in the proportion of people living in towns and cities. It occurs because people move from rural areas to urban areas, which usually occurs when a country is still developing. There are many different causes of urbanization. People living in rural areas are drawn to the city, because they often believe that the standard of living in urban areas will be much better. Urbanization has its pros and cons and affects every developing country differently. Three positive effects that urbanization has had on Costa Rica are: Less distances to travel and decrease in transport cost, growth in trade and commerce, and increase community resources. When population is concentrated in cities people have less distance to travel to work and for most other purposes. Urbanization helps the nation's business sector. Rural people come to the urban places with their goods. In Costa Rica growth in trade was a major positive in urbanization, because they are large exporters of bananas, coffee beans, and pineapples to name a few. Inspired by the growth of Los Reyes, multiple residential developments are being built in vast areas. It includes a combination of residential solutions in large areas with other services like a club, swimming pool, golf, tennis and football facilities. Three negative effects that urbanization has had on Costa Rica are: the decrease...

...Brueggemon and D. Fisher the term real estate refers to the physical and improvements and the ownership rights associated with the real estate are referred to as real property. Basically according to the finance dictionary Real Estate means to the piece of land and all physical property related to it, including houses, fences, landscaping and all rights related to the air above and earth below the property. With rapid urbanization of the cities and metropolitan areas real estate is a familiar word to the city dwellers. Real estate deals not only with the architectural design and infrastructure of a building but also with its finance and potentiality. It is an area that is highly influenced by the population density, income generation and tastes of the people and economic growth of a country under different period of time. Perspective of Real Estate Business in Bangladesh (A Brief History) Urbanization is an outcome of both population growth and rural-urban migration. As urbanization increases, more and more people are becoming city dwellers. Bangladesh is not any exception to this picture. In Bangladesh, the problem of urbanization is further aggravated by limited land supply in urban areas, lower land utilization and lack of proper planning and land use policy. As globalization increases, the process of urbanization increases. The ever increasing urban population is creating an...

...Simmel, G, (1964) "The metropolis and mental life" from Wolff, Kurt H, The sociology of Georg Simmel pp.409-424, New York, Macmillan © THE DEEPEST PROBLEMS OF modern life derive from the claim of the individual to preserve the autonomy and individuality of his existence in the face of overwhelming social forces, of historical heritage, of external culture, and of the technique of life. The fight with nature which primitive man has to wage for his bodily existence attains in this modern form its latest transformation. The eighteenth century called upon man to free himself of all the historical bonds in the state and in religion, in morals and in economics. Man’s nature, originally good and common to all, should develop unhampered. In addition to more liberty, the nineteenth century demanded the functional specialization of man and his work; this specialization makes one individual incomparable to another, and each of them indispensable to the highest possible extent. However, this specialization makes each man the more directly dependent upon the supplementary activities of all others. Nietzsche sees the full development of the individual conditioned by the most ruthless struggle of individuals; socialism believes in the suppression of all competition for the same reason. Be that as it may, in all these positions the same basic motive is at work: the person resists to being leveled down and worn out by a social-technological mechanism. An inquiry into the inner meaning of specifically...
