description: Due to the inherent uncertainty in predicting the evolution of phase-spaces in social-ecological systems (SESs), these systems cannot be “optimally” managed through top-down, command and control type of governance designs. Instead, generalized autocatalytic set theory, a type of network and complexity theory with foundations in mathematical graph theory, may be used as a bottom-up, emergent and co-evolutionary framework to design the governance regimes of SESs. Under this theoretical re-conceptualization, the policy and institutional interventions can at best “enable” the policy-makers to nudge SESs towards socially desirable yet ecologically feasible phase-spaces, which in turn are continually revamped as new elements in phase-spaces emerge.

description: My dissertation focuses on antimicrobial use in the dairy industry and farmer responses to the changing political climate centered around the threat of antimicrobial resistance. In this dissertation. I examine animal health assemblages with a particular focus on mastitis assemblages. My investigation of mastitis assemblages offers insight into both the epistemologies around animal health management and the hidden frictions to changing antimicrobial use practice. In this dissertation, I seek to answer the following questions. How do antimicrobial use-related policies affect mastitis management? What information sources do dairy producers use to make mastitis management decisions? And to what extent do producers consider bacteria agency when developing and implementing mastitis management strategies? To do this, I draw insight from work in policy mobilities, more-than-human geographies, science and technology studies, critical data studies and agri-food studies. The methods I used for this research included interviews, direct and participant observation and document analysis. Dairy cows get mastitis when interactions with the farm environment inevitably expose them to pathogenic bacteria that their immune system cannot manage. There is acceptance among producers that mastitis-causing bacteria will continue to exist within farm spaces despite their best efforts. Dairy farmers have learned the best way to reduce the incidence of mastitis is to better manage human-cow-bacteria relations. Producers must negotiate the flows of life on their farm and the resources they have available. Mastitis assemblages evolve with the changing political-economic circumstances, new knowledge introductions and farm characteristics I discuss throughout this dissertation. In the first empirical chapter, I examine dairy producer concerns about future antimicrobial regulations and how these concerns could serve as a form of friction to the movement of stricter antimicrobial use policy. In the second empirical chapter, I examine how new ways of understanding bacteria have changed human-bacteria relations and by extension how producers manage and treat mastitis. In the final empirical chapter, I assess the impact of data technology adoption on dairy farm practices and how associated difficulties produce hybrid epistemologies around animal health management.

description: Forty-Eighters were a significantly influential subsect of the German immigrants community in Baltimore in the 1805s, particularly because of their radical belief in the abolition of slavery. This was especially the case in Baltimore, where Carl Heinrich Schnauffer published a radical Republican newspaper called The Baltimore Wecker. The Wecker was representative of the values and ideologies held by Forty-Eighters in Baltimore, and often symbolized the development of their community. Throughout the 1850s, Forty-Eighters grew as a formidable political sect in Baltimore, culminating in the Pratt Street Riots, when their meetings space and The Wecker office were attacked by Confederate mobs. In this thesis, I argue that because Forty-Eighters were able to develop as a community in Baltimore due to their formidable newspaper publications and commitment to community organizing, they shaped the German American political landscape.

description: The consignment of European bloodstock assets involves commercial breeders consigning bloodstock assets for public auction through one of a small number of auction houses that dominate the market. Vendors typically consign such assets to the auction house and individual auctions they believe give the best chance of maximising the attainable price. The market is characterised by a perception that there is a premium pricing effect in consigning to certain auction houses and select sales. This paper seeks to determine if evidence exists to uphold that perception. Specifically, the paper examines the pricing dynamics and variables that exist in the UK and Ireland market for thoroughbred yearlings and tests the hypothesis that a pricing premium can be achieved by specific consignment strategies. The paper uses a unique modelling approach to capture the above dynamics. The paper seeks to identify the variables that influence auction prices achieved and control for these in determining the price effect of consigning through certain auction houses. The influence of sires has typically been viewed as the dominant effect on realised auction prices achieved in the market for thoroughbred yearlings. The market is characterised by a perception of a generally linear relationship between sire price and realised auction prices for thoroughbred yearlings. However, this paper seeks to more effectively model for the impact of dam on auction price outcomes. By using a unique modelling approach to measure the quality of dam, the paper seeks to more accurately capture the influential effect of maternal lineage on realised auction prices. Having isolated the dam effect, the findings of the paper will allow a more accurate assessment of the correlation between yearling auction price and auction consignment strategy and allow breeders a greater ability to select sales that maximise investment return.
"The Demon of Blood and Slaughter:" Know-Nothing Gangs and Working-Class Republicanism in 19th Century Baltimore
Creators: name: Breeding, Mark
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2024

description: This thesis examines white working-class male identity in Baltimore during the nineteenth century and how its expression through nativism and violence was directed against African Americans, foreign-born immigrants, and political opponents. It argues that the Know-Nothing Party’s rise to power in Baltimore took advantage of existing schisms and violent identities caused by the market revolution. In examining the tradition of artisan republicanism and social violence, this thesis argues that the ideology of working-class republicanism was a tool for the expansion of nineteenth century nativism and gang affiliation because it reinforced a violent white male identity. This identity, mixed with the social and political environment, culminated in the Baltimore riots of the 1850s and 1861.

Valley bottom

description: Tropical headwater valley bottoms are shallow, flat-bottomed, valleys at the uppermost part of the watershed in which no stream channel is present. Predominant in Africa's low-relief landscapes and other tropical regions, they are important settings for agriculture, grazing, and, less frequently, small-scale mineral deposits. However, debates over their origins and nomenclature hinder a comprehensive understanding of the role these valley bottoms play in landform evolution of the African surface, mineral deposit formation, and a range of ecological functions. Two primary genetic origin theories are identified: the in-situ weathering/deflation hypothesis and the colluvial/fluvial hypothesis. This dissertation investigates the two genetic origin theories of these features at both the continental and watershed scales integrating geomorphological, digital terrain modeling, and sedimentological methods.To address semantic and ontological classification disparities, a continental-scale analysis of watershed basins containing variously named headwater valley bottom landforms is conducted. The study develops and analyzes a database of 22 type localities and explores geology, climate, paleoclimate, and regolith controls to clarify definitions and classifications. Results indicate distinct differences in watershed basins categorized by climate, precipitation, morphology, bedrock age and lithology, and pedological inheritance but not necessarily correlating to regionally different nomenclature. The research further suggests that major paleoclimate transitions influenced the long-term evolution of these landforms across Africa. Transitioning from the continental-scale, the research advocates for watershed-scale studies using quantitative criteria and high spatial resolution geospatial data. Targeted on valley bottoms in the Kohoué River watershed in northwest Côte d'Ivoire, the study addresses the lack of suitable digital elevation model (DEM) data by developing a high-resolution, vertically accurate DEM through photogrammetric workflows and DEM filtering techniques. Next, this high-resolution DEM is used in combination with field mapping and sedimentological analysis to produce a series of geomorphic cross sections, which support the hypothesis that valley bottom forms transition from unchanneled collapse/deflation features in headwater settings into valley flats with discontinuous channels and become channeled colluvial/fluvial floodplain types downstream. Rather than opposition between the two primary origin theories, this work demonstrates the coexistence of both processes at work in a watershed, varying longitudinally, based on quantifiable geomorphic controls.
Self-Organization in Collective Action: Elinor Ostrom’s Contributions and Complexity Theory

Year: 2014
Subjects: Collective action; complexity theory; Elinor Ostrom; self-organization; rational choice.

description: Elinor Ostrom’s contributions to the understanding self-organization in collective action processes are discussed from a complexity theory perspective. It is argued that complexity researchers can learn from Ostrom’s theory building process, as well her conceptualization of the conditions of self-organization in the management of common-pool resources. Her focus on self-organization helps rectify the problems with the assumption in the mainstream policy analysis that policy processes can be explained with external causes. The conceptual problems in her utility maximizing rational actor assumption and the potential for conceptual advancements in her recognition of complexity concepts are discussed. It is argued that Ostrom’s conceptual framework is sophisticated, but it lacks a dynamic understanding of the micro–macro relationships in complex governance systems, and that complexity theory offers the conceptual tools to remedy this problem.

description: The experiences of Latinx families face difficult challenges to build a better future in cities across the US. Motivated by their families' needs and the values of "familismo" within their community, Latinx families build social networks to help them cope with the challenges of moving to a new place and understanding the systems. Latinx workers face discrimination, and many have to rely on "aguantarismo" to have a job and survive accidents, chronic illnesses, and pandemics. Socioeconomic systems benefit elite groups that oppress Latinx workers to accept injustices without complaint. Celebrating the Latinx culture in Baltimore not only encourages pride in the culture but also promotes it. By sharing their culture, a form of “celebrarismo”, Latinx people have created social networks to support each other and survive while living far away. The Latinx community in Baltimore is one of the fastest-growing populations in the city, and it is important to recognize their values and contributions.
Creating and Maintaining Innovative Space — A Framework for Unraveling the Complexities of Entrepreneurial Systems
Creators: name: Marshall, Kevin
Publisher: name: University of Bamberg Press
Year: 2014
Subjects: Complexity; decision-making; entrepreneurship; innovation; law; managerial; organizational theory; public administration; rule-making.

description: This article proposes a theoretical framework for analyzing, designing, and managing innovative institutional space. Innovative spaces generate macro-level, emergent outcomes. A fundamental challenge of the administrative and managerial sciences is to promulgate, adopt and enforce rules relevant and appropriate to specific goal-oriented spaces, while fostering spatial conditions that nurture the emergent, entrepreneurial properties of complex systems. Emphasizing the revelations of complexity theory, this article argues that differentiation and integration are essential components of an adaptive, progressive space, and that administrative and managerial rules not only define the parameters of space in question, but also influence the innovative, progressive nature of the space. The proposed theoretical framework suggests a two-part analytical process germane to the creation and maintenance of innovative space consisting of 1) the identification and comprehension of the space to be administered or managed, and 2) the identification and analysis of relevant rules (existing or proposed) that positively or negatively impact the emergent properties of such space.

Defining the Entropy of Hierarchical Organizations
Creators: name: Chappell, David
name: Dewey, T. Gregory
Publisher: name: University of Bamberg Press
Year: 2014
Subjects: Organizational structure; entropy.

description: A measure of the order within a hierarchical organizational structure is proposed based on an analogy with the thermodynamic entropy of physical sciences. Organizational entropy is defined in a manner that readily allows for practical calculations. This calculation could be used to relate the order or entropy of an organization to its functional role. Additionally, it could be used to monitor the change in entropy over time and provide an impetus for periodic restructuring. This theory gives two general contributions to the entropy of an organizational structure: horizontal entropy due to changes within a level of the hierarchy and vertical entropy due to changes between levels along reporting lines within the organization. In addition to employing the thermodynamic entropy analog, identical theoretical results are obtained when calculating the Kolmogorov entropy or algorithmic complexity of an organizational hierarchy and establishes the generality of the approach. Computer simulations on model hierarchical structures show the boundaries of the vertical and horizontal contribution to entropy. It is postulated that each organization will have a specific entropy that optimizes organizational functions.

AN INVESTIGATION OF ENERGIES AND DYNAMICS USING SPECTROSCOPIC ANALYSIS OF CHARGE TRANSFER COMPLEXES IN CRYSTALS, AND CHANGING SOLVENT POLARITIES
Creators: name: Cooper, Christopher E.
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2024

description: A spectrum is a signature associated with the tested molecular system and contains energetic and dynamic information unique to that system. Analysis of the spectral shape, maxima, and where a spectrum begins defines traits of the associated molecular system. Spectra are influenced not only by the molecular system being tested, but by the surrounding conditions. Spectral traits of a molecular system will change with the phase, temperature, or the surrounding medium. Examination of spectral changes influenced by changing environmental conditions can be used to develop possible models describing the energies required for driving force and rearrangement, as well as the dynamics within a molecular system. Spectral analysis can be assisted by previously developed models such as the Golden Rule (GR) for electron transfer. Collected spectra can be used alongside a GR calculation to extract driving force and reorganization energies, as well as kinetic information from the collected spectra. By comparing spectra of a single molecular system through changing environmental conditions, this research describes studies of electron transfer in charge-transfer complexes in solution, and in solids at ambient and low temperatures. Solvatochromic shifts and the effects on energies and dynamics were observed in absorption and fluorescence spectra collected by testing charge-transfer complexes using different solvents across a progression of polarities. Energies and dynamics of solid state charge transfer complexes were examined using the GR together with fluorescence spectra collected by fluorometer, and accompanying decay traces using a time correlated single photon counter. The collective results across ambient temperature and 77 K were used to develop a potential model describing the elucidated charge transfer driving force, molecular rearrangement energies, and kinetics in solid state charge transfer crystals.

description: Im Juli 2014 wurde das Schweizerische Zivilgesetzbuch revidiert und die gemeinsame elterliche Sorge als Regelfall bestimmt. Diese Änderung soll auch den gesellschaftlichen Wandel in den Familien wiederspiegeln, denn immer weniger Eltern leben das traditionelle Familienbild. In der Gesellschaft findet eine Pluralisierung der Familienformen statt. In dieser Literaturarbeit analysieren die Autoren die Gesetzesrevision in Bezug auf die Gleichstellung zwischen Mutter und Vater und zeigen die Entwicklung der Vaterrolle über die letzten Jahre und Jahrzehnte auf. Väter nehmen ihre Verantwortung in Bezug auf Familienarbeit in den letzten Jahren immer stärker wahr. Die aktuell bestehenden Rahmenbedingungen aus Politik und Wirtschaft erschweren jedoch eine egalitäre Rollenteilung in den Familien. Die Vereinbarkeit von Familien- und Erwerbsarbeit ist für Mütter und Väter somit eine grosse Herausforderung. Wie dieses gleichstellungspolitische Problem, primär für den Vater, gelöst werden kann und welche spezifischen Massnahmen von Seiten der Politik und Wirtschaft dazu nötig sind, wird in dieser Arbeit aufgezeigt. Die mit der Gesetzesrevision angestrebte rechtliche Gleichstellung zwischen Mutter und Vater konnte zwar weitestgehend erreicht werden, jedoch ergeben sich daraus auch neue gesellschaftliche Probleme. Strittige Eltern haben bei einem gemeinsamen Sorgerecht noch mehr Möglichkeiten, sich gegenseitig das Leben schwerzumachen, dies oft auf Kosten der Kinder. Diese Literaturarbeit zeigt daher auf, welche Risiken ein gemeinsames Sorgerecht bietet und wie die Soziale Arbeit darauf reagieren kann und, wie im Berufskodex der Sozialen Arbeit festgehalten, muss.

description: Traditionally, offenders were eliminated, stigmatized, physically punished, isolated, and, as a result, excluded from society. Today, we are talking about the need for fostering offenders in building their new, non-deviant identities. Instead of forcing them to be subordinated, they should be encouraged to go for changes, to interiorize norms, principles, and values important from the point of view of society. In the article, the sense and dimension of the local environment participation in the probation process of offenders are considered. A theoretical framework for the considerations is the concept of social solidarity. On the basis of the analyses of the principle of subsidiarity and the concept of citizen society an attempt to grasp the ideological motives animating pro-social activities within the resocialization process. Also, an actual picture of such activities in the probation practices is presented.

Publisher: name: Filozofia Edukacji
Year: 2019

description: What is considered in the article are the post-Foucauldian studies of the gouvernementalité and their methodologies as viewed in two aspects: the research perspective and analytical strategies. Consequently, the article consists of two main parts. In the first part, the gouvernementalité is discussed as a characteristic research perspective, which assumes a close relation between power transformation and knowledge development. Thus, the general aim of the studies in that perspective is pursuing the relations between the formations of knowledge, power, and subject. In the second part of the article, two analytical strategies, used in the empirical research of the gouvernementalité are indicated: the ethnographical one and the dispositive one. The researchers’ preferences for the categories of the analysis of the gouvernementalité practices are adopted as the basis for the distinction between the two. At the end of the article, the author puts forward her own proposal for a theoretical / analytical research model in the dispositif strategy.

description: What is considered in this text is the problem of patriotic education in state schools. The author undertakes the problem on the ground of the contemporary Anglo-Saxon philosophy of education, referring to and commenting on the conceptions elaborated in the framework of that philosophy, particularly by Harry Brighouse. After setting forth a thesis about the diminishing the status of patriotic education in favor of citizen education by Anglo-Saxon philosophers of education, the author focuses on presenting five factors which contribute to patriotic education. Those factors are: national identity, attitudes to that identity, the state preferences as to the promotion of particular patriotic attitudes, the role of state schooling in pursuing that process, and the space for teaching history within it. The author, analyzing the arguments relevant for those five factors, concludes that the contemporary Anglo-Saxon philosophy of education is rather reluctant towards teaching patriotism in schools. Such an attitude differs from the conception of patriotic education promoted in Polish schools. Is the Polish conception defensible? The author concludes his analyses pointing to two lines which might help in justifying the Polish approach.

description: In the article, a historical development of the understanding of the value of patriotism in Poland is presented. The presentation ranges from the Middle Ages till present days. The views on patriotism advocated by the noblest Polish writers and intellectuals, the creators of Polish culture, are introduced. In the introduction, the author brings in several etymological and definitional considerations, noting that the entry “patriotism” is missing in the important sources of today’s Polish pedagogy. In the following points, representatives of the successive historical periods are portrayed and their views are illustrated by short quotations from their works. The author suggests that, from the very beginning, a characteristic trait of Polish patriotism were the values of dedication and sacrifice for the country. Neither did the values appear only in Romanticism, nor, similarly, did they disappear in Positivism or later on. In the author’s view, patriotism helped Poles in preserving their identity in the periods of partitions and Communist regime. Today the Polish patriotism should open itself to the universal values of humanity.

Digital Twin and an Approach to its Change Management using Generative Modeling

Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2024

description: With the rise of cybersecurity threats, patches/changes to physical systems (i.e., computers) have become compulsory to make the system up-to-date and prevent any attack against it. However, these patches/changes cannot be directly applied to a production environment where critical services like security tools run. Larger business entities may have a separate production and non-production environment, but smaller business entities such as startups may not have such benefits. In this, research, we introduce a digital twin for IoT devices for smaller business entities. This digital twin acts as a non-production environment where patches/changes can be applied, and automated/manual tests can be performed before and after the production system is patched. Stress testing the digital twin after the patch is applied requires additional data to create functional tests or compare the behavior of the digital twin before the patch application with the behavior after the patch application. For this purpose, we designed a Network Activity ontology to guide a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) with domain knowledge to generate synthetic network traffic data that could be used to identify test case scenarios to create functional tests manually. Additionally, only GAN was used to yield synthetic system data for future use in stress testing of digital twins for system-level defects after patch application. We designed basic functional tests using Snort rules and Scapy.

description: Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in the United States has suffered from chronic low workforce retention since the 1990s. This three-paper dissertation explores two of the barriers to improving workforce retention in EMS: wages and collective identity crises. The first paper explores the relationship between the EMS delivery system utilized by metropolitan areas and the area EMS wage progression by addressing the age-old question of which system is better, public or contracted private agency. Analyzing wage data over two decades through a two-sample two-tail t test resulted in initial findings that metropolitan areas that contract with private agencies to provide 911 services have a minimally stronger correlation to wage progression than publicly provided EMS services. However, neither system promotes sufficient wage progression to combat increasing inflation and living expense. Paper two expands wage analysis to an international level by comparing wage progression of EMS in the United States to EMS in the United Kingdom. This preliminary research follows a ground theory framework for future research by developing the taxonomy and initial theoretical reflection that correlates national health care model to wage progression and the economic cycles of the EMS industry. The results indicate that both systems fail to follow labor supply and demand theories and that the U.K. has experienced a wider variance in the identified economic cycle. The final paper conducts a scoping review of the development of EMS in the U.S. to offer three primary research contributions: 1) identification of key deep-structured legacy occupational identities, 2) characterization of occupational identities and associated conflicts, and 3) identification of developing non-occupational identity conflicts that threaten to exacerbate current conflicts. Legacy identities and their conflicts were categorized as either role-based (task-oriented conflicts) or politically-based (subject-based conflicts). Discussion points considered how these identities and their conflicts work to prevent the creation of a cohesive occupational collective identity. All three papers open discussions on various aspects affecting EMS workforce retention that can be used as foundations for future research and inform policy makers and industry leaders.

description: Cities promote investing in green spaces as a step toward justice in neighborhoods that have lacked places like parks, gardens, and other vegetated spaces that can be a benefit to people who live nearby. Creating more vegetated spaces in cities has also been promoted as an action to reduce the impact of climate change and extreme weather events on city residents now and into the future. However, residents may see these projects as addressing surface-level eyesores and not investments in addressing deeper challenges in their neighborhood. This is because what may appear to an outsider as an eyesore can be connected to long-term, systemic disinvestment in neighborhoods based on racist policies. In Baltimore, where many neighborhoods are identified by recent environmental justice policy to be eligible for funding from a wide variety of federal programs related to climate change issues, I investigate how these policies can be accessed by resident groups to advocate for community-led development interests alongside green space investment in their neighborhoods. This research is guided by three themes: green space, funding, and environmental justice. Methods included participant observation fieldwork and informal interviews alongside document and screening tool analysis. Research outcomes include recommendations to align investments to both increase green space while also addressing other neighborhood challenges as one way to change perceptions of urban greening initiatives from surface-level investment to environmental justice action.

Subjects: Taekwendo ; specific weight, ; seniors athlets

description: This research evaluates the impact of a specific training program on the physical and technical performance of taekwondo practitioners by comparing two groups: a control group that did not follow the program and an experimental group that participated in it. Performance was assessed using Squat Jump, Countermovement Jump (CMJ), Drop Jump tests, as well as strikes with elastic resistance and on a punching bag. The control group showed modest, non-significant improvement in most tests, except for CMJ (1.13%). In contrast, the experimental group exhibited significant improvements in all tests, with progress rates ranging from 5.67% to 10.99%. These results confirm the effectiveness of the specific training program in enhancing the physical and technical abilities of athletes, suggesting that this type of program could be beneficial for the physical preparation of taekwondo practitioners.
THROUGH THEIR LENS: BLACK PRE-PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT STUDENTS’ VIEWS ON THE ENTRY-LEVEL PA DOCTORATE

description: By 2025, Physician Assistants (PA) will be the sole prescribing medical provider without an entry-level doctorate. Over the past two decades, the PA community has vigorously debated the possible shift from a master's degree to an entry-level clinical doctoral degree. Concurrently, the representation of Black PAs has experienced a steady decline, carrying significant implications for addressing Black health disparities and advancing health equity. Studies show a negative link between advanced degree requirements and diversity in the PA field. This study investigates Black pre-PA students' views on the transition and identifies key factors for success. Utilizing the validated Professional Entry Doctorate Degree Survey (PEDDS) instrument supplemented with open-ended questions, the research aims to answer the following questions: 1) What are Black pre-PA students' perceptions of the entry-level doctorate? (2) How do perceptions of the entry-level doctorate vary by Black pre-PA students’ (a) gender; (b) perception of academic rank; (c) first-generation; (d) level of education; and (e) family income? 3) What do Black pre-PA students perceive as essential factors for successfully pursuing an entry-level PA doctorate? While previous studies show opposition to the transition, this study finds mixed opinions among Black pre-PA students. Demographic differences do not significantly impact perceptions. Participants highlighted key areas needing attention, including increased costs, admissions processes, prerequisite barriers, bias, discrimination, and resource limitations. Recommendations include bolstering outreach, scholarships, faculty diversity, and educational initiatives to enhance Black representation and shape future PA policies effectively. These insights hold significant promise for advancing health equity within the PA profession.
IS THERE POSITIVE SPILLOVER ON QUALITY OF CARE FROM THE MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PROGRAM ON TRADITIONAL MEDICARE

description: The amount the government should be spending for the Medicare Advantage program has been a long-standing debate. To answer this question, many studies seek to identify cost differences between TM (Traditional Medicare) and MA (Medicare Advantage) programs. Because of differences in the programs, direct cost comparisons are challenging and do not capture potential social benefits the MA program provides for TM enrollees. Social benefits would come from a positive spillover of efficiencies established in MA coverage areas. MA spillover lowering the cost of care in the TM program must be considered when performing budgetary comparisons. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of post-ACA (Affordable Care Act) MA program growth on the quality of care for TM enrollees. As a result of the ACA, CMS (Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services) has been developing and implementing new models intended to reduce cost and improve the health of Medicare enrollees. Many of the studies that have examined an MA spillover effect were conducted with pre-ACA data. Using post-ACA data, this study focuses on six health outcome measures: 1) Potentially Avoidable Hospital Admission, 2) Inpatient Hospital Stays, 3) Inpatient Hospital Days, 4) Acute Hospital Readmission, 5) Emergency Department Visits, and 6) Outpatient Visits. These six health outcomes measures serve as a proxy for behavioral and other changes within TM enrollees that are influenced by MA plans.

description: This article develops an explanation for the emergence of metropolitan governance in the Amsterdam metropolitan region. A coevolutionary framework is deployed to analyze how the governance system developed between 1982 and 2009. Data was gathered from 43 policy docu- ments, over 150 newspaper articles and 14 semi-structured interviews. The analysis focuses on the workings of selection pressures and the adaptive processes. It shows that metropolitan gov- ernance evolves in a punctuated fashion when fitness with the environment is lost and when the governance system’s ability to absorb selection pressures has eroded.
