The Entrepreneurial State: Debunking Public vs. Private Sector Myths

Introduction
This study presents a unifying concept of the pathophysiology of endometriosis and adenomyosis. In particular, a physiological model is proposed that provides a comprehensive explanation of the local production of estrogen at the level of ectopic endometrial lesions and the endometrium of women affected with the disease.

The pathophysiology of endometriosis and adenomyosis: tissue injury and repair

Every now and then a set of technologies becomes available that sets off a period of “combinatorial innovation.” Think of standardized mechanical parts in the 1800s, the gasoline engine in the early 1900s, electronics in the 1920s, integrated circuits in the 1970s, and the internet in the last decade or so. The component parts of these technologies can be combined and recombined by innovators to create new devices and applications. Since these innovators are working in parallel with similar components, it is common to see simultaneous invention. There are many well-known examples, such as the electric light, the airplane, the automobile, and the telephone. Many scholars have described such periods of innovation, using terms such as “recombinant growth,” “general purpose technologies,” “cumulative synthesis” and “clusters of innovation.” The internet and the web are wonderful examples of combinatorial innovation. In the last 15 years we have seen a huge proliferation of web applications, all built from a basic set of component technologies. The internet itself was a rather unlikely innovation; I like to describe it as a “lab experiment that got loose.” Since the internet arose from the research community rather than the private sector, it had no obvious business model. Other public computer networks, such as AOL, CompuServe, and Minitel, generally used a subscription models, but were centrally controlled and offered little scope for innovation at the user level. The internet won out over these alternatives, precisely because it offered a flexible set of component technologies which encouraged combinatorial innovation.

Use simulation-based courses to achieve educational goals more effectively and effi ciently than other methods of instruction could achieve .. a. Use in-house clinical courses to achieve clearly articulated educational goals more effectively and effi ciently than other methods of instruction could Over the past 25 years, I have been privileged actively to participate in a rich dialogue, among law teachers, lawyers, and judges, regarding the education of lawyers. This report, BEST PRACTICES FOR LEGAL EDUCATION, is a fruit of that dialogue. It was authored by a group, aptly described by The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching as " a far-fl ung network of legal educators. " The Carnegie Foundation in its own contemporaneous report, EDUCATING LAWYERS, views this time as an " historic opportunity to advance legal education, " which it surely is following the dialogue we have had during the past 25 years. Sparked by the Ford Foundation's CLEPR Project (during the 1960s and 70s), the American Bar Association convened a 1984 conference " Legal Education and the Profession: Approaching the 21st Century " at the McGeorge School of Law, which started the continuous dialogue that bears fruit today in the two reports. In 1987, Justice Rosalie Wahl of the Minnesota Supreme Court and Chair of the ABA Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar, convened a " National Conference on Professional Skills and Legal Education. " Professor Roy Stuckey, co-chair of that conference and leader of the Best Practices Project, stated the 1987 goal: " To develop through a dialogue a consensus understanding about the present state of professional skills instruction in American law schools. " At the conference Justice Wahl rhetorically asked: Have we really tried in law school to determine what skills, what attitudes, what character traits, what quality of mind are required of lawyers? Are we adequately educating students through the content and methodology of our present law school curriculums to perform effectively as lawyers after graduation? Justice Wahl went on to say that until the entire profession had a clearer vision of the answer to the questions, further progress in …
