Territorial justice and RAWP (Resource Allocation Working Party).

|May 9, 1991
Summary
The Resource Allocation Working Party (RAWP) improved health care resource allocation in England. Greater territorial justice in 1985 indicates RAWP partially met its goals.
Area of Science:
- Health Services Research
- Public Health Policy
- Spatial Analysis
Background:
- The Resource Allocation Working Party (RAWP) was established to guide health care resource distribution in England.
- Equitable allocation of healthcare resources based on regional needs is a persistent policy challenge.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of the RAWP reallocation of health care resources.
- To assess changes in territorial justice in England's health regions between 1975 and 1985.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of the spatial relationship between healthcare needs and resource allocation.
- Comparative assessment of territorial justice in 1975 versus 1985.
Main Results:
- Territorial justice, defined as the alignment of resources with needs, showed improvement.
- A greater degree of territorial justice was observed in 1985 compared to 1975.
Conclusions:
- The RAWP reallocation policy demonstrated partial success in achieving its objective.
- Findings suggest positive shifts towards more equitable regional health resource distribution.

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

02:34Water and Mineral Acquisition
24.2K
Specialized tissues in plant roots have evolved to capture water, minerals, and some ions from the soil. Roots exhibit a variety of branching patterns that facilitate this process. The outermost root cells have specialized structures called root hairs that increase the root surface, thus increasing soil contact. Water can passively cross into roots, as the concentration of water in the soil is higher than that of the root tissue. Minerals, in contrast, are actively transported into root cells.

01:14Extraction: Partition and Distribution Coefficients
4.3K
The distribution law or Nernst's distribution law is the law that governs the distribution of a solute between two immiscible solvents. This law, also known as the partition law, states that if a solute is added to the mixture of two immiscible solvents at a constant temperature, the solute is distributed between the two solvents in such a way that the ratio of solute concentrations in the solvents remains constant at equilibrium.

Regional terms describe anatomy by dividing the body parts into different regions that contain structures involved in contributing similar functions. Using these terms helps increase the accurate description and identification of the particular region of interest or region affected by the disease.
Primarily, the human body has two major regions, the axial and appendicular regions. The axial region comprises regions from the head to the abdomen and makes up the central body axis. In contrast,...

01:28Compensation Mechanisms
2.0K
The human body employs intricate mechanisms to counteract changes in blood pH, preventing conditions like acidosis (pH < 7.35) and alkalosis (pH > 7.45). These compensatory responses aim to restore normal arterial blood pH by engaging respiratory or renal systems, depending on the source of the imbalance.

Equity theory explains how our sense of fairness influences the dynamics of close relationships. Rooted in social psychology, the theory posits that individuals evaluate fairness by comparing the ratio of their contributions to the rewards they receive. Relationship satisfaction is highest when these ratios are perceived as balanced between partners, promoting mutual reciprocity and a sense of justice.Equity vs. Equality in RelationshipsEquity is distinct from equality.
