Recorrendo a dados da Administração Central do Sistema de Saúde, este trabalho visou a análise do desempenho económico-financeiro dos hospitais empresarializados, utilizando rácios (liquidez, funcionamento, financiamento e rentabilidade) numa perspetiva regional (NUTS II), concluindo pelo relativo melhor desempenho do conjunto dos hospitais da Região Norte, embora de forma inconsistente ao longo do tempo. No geral, os resultados traduzem, nas diferentes regiões, tendenciais perdas de liquidez, de autonomia financeira e solvabilidade, ao mesmo tempo que refletem uma diminuição da atividade e dos resultados.

"This book examines the effect of economic power on a state's strategic autonomy. Strategic autonomy is a fundamental condition for the availability of strategic options in the interaction of states. This book provides the first clear operational definition of the concept and offers an analysis of the relevance of the national economy to strategic autonomy. The main sources of economic power - size of the economy, position in trade and technological networks, savings, wealth, and finance - and their impact on strategic autonomy are analyzed in depth. The strategic governance of the national economy is also addressed as a way of ensuring that national economic power can work as strategic power for a country, providing it with strategic autonomy. The strategies pursued by China - which in under four decades has gone from an underdeveloped state to the main challenger of the dominant world power - and Germany - which, despite being defeated in World War II, having no nuclear weapons and having chosen to be a "civilian power", became the dominant power in Europe - are analyzed in depth, as two paradigmatic examples of the theory developed by the book. This book will be of much interest to students of strategic studies, economics, foreign policy and International Relations"--

The 53 papers contained in this volume reflect the aims of the International Association for Housing Science which are to improve every phase of housing technology and production particularly through new urban planning, new designs, new materials, new technological and management developments and innovative financing. Emphasis is placed on the application of all these aspects to developing countries although there is much to interest professionals in the developed world.

Alexander Hamilton was the first U.S. Treasury Secretary from 1789 to 1795. When he started, the Federal Government was in default. During his tenure, U.S. Treasuries became the ultimate safe asset. He successfully managed expectations, achieved debt service reduction, and stabilized financial panics. He delivered sound public finances and financial stability. In the end, the U.S. possessed a modern financial system able to finance innovation and growth. At a time when Europe is working its way out of the sovereign debt crisis and implementing Banking Union and Financial Union, it is worthwhile to search for lessons from early U.S. history.

Resumo No presente artigo, a partir daquilo que o filósofo José Chasin chamou de análise imanente, pretendemos analisar a relação entre a cidade e o campo na obra marxiana. Para tanto, passaremos por obras da década de 1840. Intentamos demonstrar os meandros da crítica de Marx aos elementos rural e urbano. Com isso, também deixaremos claro que o essencial para o pensador alemão não é tanto o domínio da cidade sobre o campo, mas a supressão da divisão cidade-campo. Intentamos deixar claro que, na década de 1840, é central a tal análise temas da economia política.

AbstractMost of the world's population lives in countries that ban the self‐service sale of gasoline. Causal effects of this regulation can hardly be assessed in these countries due to a lack of policy changes, but a recent quasi‐experiment in the state of Oregon allows us to analyze the impact of the ban. From 1992 to 2017, the state of Oregon was one of two U.S. states that banned self‐service at gasoline stations. Oregon adjusted regulations at the start of 2018 to allow self‐service at gasoline stations in counties with populations below 40,000 individuals. I examine the repeal of this self‐service ban and its effects on gasoline prices. I apply a difference‐in‐differences design using high frequency data of gasoline prices and find that repealing the self‐service ban reduced gasoline prices by 4.4 cents per gallon in affected Oregon counties. This effect represents approximately $90 in expected annual savings for a household with three licensed drivers.

A utilização crescente de podcasts no contexto educacional é notável. Desta forma, o presente trabalho relata o desenvolvimento de um canal de podcasts com conteúdos de anatomia humana. Os episódios foram produzidos pelos estudantes, englobando conteúdos relacionados com a anatomia do aparelho locomotor. Para a gravação e edição dos podcasts, utilizou-se aplicativos gratuitos e, após a edição, os materiais foram disponibilizados de forma gratuita nas mídias digitais. Até o presente momento foram gravadas e lançadas ao público cinco temporadas no canal do Podcast intitulado AnatoCast: na 1a. temporada foi abordado os conteúdos introdutórios da anatomia humana; na 2a, 3a, 4a e 5a foram abordados, respectivamente, os conteúdos da anatomia do aparelho locomotor dos membros superiores, inferiores, tronco e cabeça. O presente trabalho, ainda em constante evolução, conseguiu abordar os conteúdos anatômicos elencados de forma clara, objetiva e dinâmica e disponibilizar tais conteúdos através do canal de podcast.
