Dental set-vice provision in private general practice for an insured population in New South Wales, Australia

Objective To determine patterns of dental set-vices provided to a cohort of the insured population 18 years and over, in private general practice in New South Wales, Australia. Basic research design A cohort study using the person-years method and Poisson regression for analysis. Setting Data were derived from claims records submitted by members of a health insurance fund (Government Employees Health Fund-GEHF) for rebates during the study period 1 January 1992-31 December 1995. Participants There were 133,467 members aged 18 years and over from New South Wales. Main outcome measures To determine, by age group, for those members who used private general practice and made a claim (referred to as 'patients') the annual number of visits, total number of services received per year and number of services received at a visit, Results The mean number of visits per patient was 2.4 per year with patients under 45 years making fewer visits than the 45-54 age group reference category. Mean number of services utilised per patient-year was 5.9, with services provided increasing from 3.5 for the 18-24-year-old group, reaching a plateau of approximately 6.2 for those aged 45 years or more. The number of services received per visit was 2.4 and there were no differences by age. Service mix was dominated by restorative (35%), diagnostic (27%), and preventive services (18%); with age specific variations observed. Conclusions Age was found to be an important determinant in the use of dental services, independent of membership duration and gender.

FORMAÇÃO DA CONSCIÊNCIA DO JUIZ NO VICE-REINADO DO PERU

O presente artigo procura analisar, por meio da obra Flores Summarum seu Alphabetum Morale, do teólogo jesuíta peruano Juan de Alloza (1597-1666), os argumentos e as proposições utilizadas para formar a consciência dos juízes à hora de prolatarem as suas sentenças, tentando mostrar como a teologia moral exercia uma profunda influência nas questões jurídicas e nas decisões judiciais durante os séculos XVII e XVIII na América espanhola.

Da metrópole ao enclave e vice-versa. A ideia de cultura num agente destacado do enclave galego de Lisboa: Alfredo Guisado

O enclave galego de Lisboa, escassamente estudado se comparado com os enclaves americanos, experimentou importantes mudanças de variado tipo entre finais do século XIX e primeiras décadas do seguinte. Seguindo o percurso de Alfredo Guisado (1891 -1975), proponho aqui algumas hipóteses acerca das relações que se estabeleceram entre o enclave e a metrópole, e dentro daquele, no plano cultural.
