TL;DR: Most centers had established formal relationships with training institutions but generally had limited involvement with course planning, and most centers had offered training to students from many disciplines, with nursing and medicine the most frequent.
Abstract: Increasing demand for health professionals with training in ambulatory and primary care practice is placing stress on existing train- ing site capacity. Community health centers can serve as model training sites, offering comprehensive multidisciplinary health care services and teaching clinician role models. In this study, 32 Illinois community and migrant health centers and federally qualified health centers were surveyed to assess their involvement with training in the past three years. Thirty centers had offered training to students from many disciplines, with nurs- ing (27 centers) and medicine (24) the most frequent. Most centers had established formal relationships with training institutions but generally had limited involvement with course planning. Continued participation will likely require adequate funding, with some centers also seeking stronger institutional relationships and better integration of community health issues. Educators and policy makers may need to tA¤te a more active role in supporting centers, acquiring funds, and other enabling factors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored how forty spouses experienced and made sense of care within their spouses' later life marriages and found that their acceptance and provision of care were determined by their values and moral principles, and in particular reciprocity and fairness.
Abstract: This study is concerned with care in the context of later life marriages. Taking a qualitative
approach, it explores how forty spouses experienced and made sense of care within their
marriages. From the data that these spouses provide in joint interviews, it identifies how they
supported and cared for each other and how they sought to maintain their relationships and
life styles in the face of disability. It also reflects on how within their care experiences these
men and women strove'to preserve not only their spousal roles and identities but also their
autonomy as couples. Thus it emphasises that they experienced and made sense of care both
as individuals and as couples and how this duality resulted in care practices and constructs
that supported and challenged gendered care expectations.
This study also looks at the couples' support networks, in particular what care the spouses
were prepared to accept from whom and teases out their reasons for their choices. This
reveals that they understood care in terms oftheir relationships; it was about being a spouse, a
relative, a friend and a neighbour. Hence, their acceptance and provision of care were
underpilUJ.ed by their values and moral principles, and in particular reciprocity and fairness,
that structured their personal and formal relationships. Within this context the use of services
offered them a morally acceptable means ofmeeting their care needs and protecting their
informal relationships.
This study also gathered interview data from fifteen home service providers to examine how
they experienced supporting older couples and how they understood the use ofthis service by
such service users. From a comparison ofthese data with how the spouses perceived serviceuse,
significant implications for social policy and care practice emerge.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated capabilities-building processes of intermediaries in the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) industry in Thailand and found that the intermediaries play consulting, brokering, mediating and resources providing roles.
Abstract: The intermediaries are important organisations in mitigating systemic failures. Few of such failures are those of university–industry linkages (UILs). Although there are several previous studies, they did not pay adequate attention on how these intermediaries accumulate their capabilities that are necessary to perform their roles over time. This study will try to partially fill in such gap by investigating capabilities-building processes of intermediaries. The intermediaries in Hard Disk Drive (HDD) industry in Thailand was selected as a case study. Qualitative data was collected from 20 semi-structured and in-depth interviews of intermediaries’ management, university researchers and industrial companies in the intermediaries’ networks. The findings show that the intermediaries play consulting, brokering, mediating and resources providing roles. They assist to increase levels of interactions between university and industry, transform informal to formal relationships and nurture potential human resources f...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show how rival firms organize themselves to manage collectively an interdependence situation in the French agri-food industry, showing that grain merchants were able to federate, coordinate or influence all the stakeholders to control their agricultural lands.
Abstract: This paper shows how rival firms organise themselves to manage collectively an interdependence situation. Based on several case studies on the management of the coexistence between GM and non-GM productions in the French agri-food industry, this research shows that grain merchants were able to federate, coordinate or influence all the stakeholders to control their agricultural lands. Our results indicate that it goes through cooperation relationships between rivals among coopetition strategies. This paper reveals the existence of three generic forms of coopetition: 1 The first is characterised by a coordination mechanism based on direct and informal relationships through tacit conventions and a strong embeddedness of the relationship. 2 The second is characterised by formal and indirect relationships which need the involvement of a third party in the coordination mechanism. 3 The third type is characterised by the setting up of a 'mediation arena' which allows for the construction of the collective actions.
