Impossible selves? : challenges and strategies for encouraging individual long-term care planning
Get PDFThe Ohio Long-Term Care Factbook
Get PDFThis publication describes the current state of long-term care in Ohio as well as projections of the state s future disability rates and LTC needs. It includes descriptions of the variety of settings in which LTC is provided (home and community-based as well as institutional), profiles of LTC residents, sources of LTC funding, and the types of services and forms of caregiving (both formal and informal) that occur in Ohio. A listing of further resources, including websites offering additional information is featured in this fact book
Program evaluation of PASSPORT : Ohio's home and community-based Medicaid waiver. Final report
Get PDFThe goal for the evaluation of the PASSPORT program was to determine whether the program is providing efficient and cost-neutral services as an alternative to facility-based long-term care, and to assess the extent to which the program complies with the assurances Ohio agreed to in its waiver application. Although findings and recommendations are discussed briefly in this report, they are covered in greater detail in the six topical reports that support this document. See the following reports: Consumer Eligibility; Cost Neutrality; Assessment and Service Plan Development Process; Provider Processes; Quality Assurance /Quality Framework; and Fiscal Accountability
An Orthodox Social Gospel in Late-Imperial Russia
Get PDFOn Sunday morning, 9 January 1905, 150,000 workers and their families marched from
various parts of St. Petersburg and converged upon the Winter Palace to present a “Most
Loyal and Humble Address” to tsar Nicholas II asking him to improve the conditions of
the workers. The marchers sang hymns and carried icons and crosses, and were led by a
Russian Orthodox priest, Father Georgii Gapon, resembling a religious procession more
than a labor demonstration. The workers, led by Gapon, believed in the benevolence of
the Tsar, the batiushka (“little father”), and that he would listen to their troubles and help
them. The day before, however, the government had ordered the march be cancelled and
posted 12,000 troops in the city to prevent the marchers from reaching the palace, while
Nicholas II had left Petersburg to spend the weekend at the suburban palace in Tsarskoe
Selo. As the first group of marchers converged upon the Narva Gates, troops opened
fire upon the unarmed crowd, killing forty and wounding hundreds. In other parts of the
city soldiers also attacked the marchers, culminating in the attack on a large crowd that
approached the Winter Palace in the afternoon. In all, some 150 people, including
women and children, were killed. That infamous day, known as Bloody Sunday,
destroyed the popular myth of the benevolent tsar and initiated two years of chaos,
strikes, and violence known as the Revolution of 1905, which nearly brought the regime
to its knees and forced it grudgingly to make significant concessions, above all the move
toward establishing a constitutional monarchy with the October Manifesto and the
Duma

Get PDFWinter biology & freeze tolerance in the goldenrod gall fly
No full textBirds migrate. Bears hibernate. Turtles and
frogs retreat to the bottom of lakes. Most animals must
avoid harsh winter conditions; few can survive freezing.
Larvae of the goldenrod gall fly (Eurosta solidaginis),
can survive freezing to -40°C or below. The study of
survival at low temperature is called cryobiology. This
article provides an introduction to the winter biology of
this widely distributed and unusual species, and suggests
classroom activities that illuminate principles of
cryobiology through insect overwintering.
A variety of opportunities for educational activities
are found in the complex, yet easy-to-manipulate,
trophic relationships between goldenrod plants,
insects that induce gall formation, and the natural enemies
of these gallmakers. Gall collection, measurement,
and observation (exit holes, larval response, temperature,
etc.) can help students develop scientific process
skills including observation, classification, measurement,
inference, prediction, control of experimental
variables, and material manipulation (Peard, 1994).
Galls can also be studied to learn about insect ovipositing
behavior and plant responses to three types of
gallmakers—each with its own distinct gall type
(Newell, 1994). Likewise, classroom activities can focus
on the collection and study of galls to discover principles
of ecology and insect life cycles (Kahn, 1997).
One aspect of goldenrod gallmakers that has
received little attention in the science education literature
is the winter biology of these unusual insects. In
autumn, the overwintering larva enters a state of dormancy,
called diapause, and gradually acquires the
capacity to survive freezing to temperatures of -40°C
and below (Baust & Lee, 1981). In contrast, a beetle
larva and two parasitic wasps that also overwinter in
goldenrod galls are intolerant of freezing and must
avoid internal ice formation
Nurising Home Use in Ohio: Who Stays, Who Pays?
No full textThis research brief follows a cohort of nursing home residents over a three-year period-- beginning with their first ever admission to a nursing home --in order to determine their stay patterns and changes in their payment source during the study period. Findings from this study suggest that irrespective of who pays for the nursing home care, almost six out of ten admissions led to a discharge within three months. The discharge patterns continue such that only one in every three and one in every five newly admitted residents remain in the nursing home after six and nine months respectively
