Universal ideals in local realities

Universal forcing notions and ideals

The main result of this paper is a partial answer to [6, Problem 5.5]: a finite iteration of Universal Meager forcing notions adds generic filters for many forcing notions determined by universality parameters. We also give some results concerning cardinal characteristics of the σ–ideals determined by those universality parameters. One of the most striking differences between measure and catego...

Preventive Medicine and Health Promotion: Ideals or Realities? *

On June 14, 1940, a small group of physicians and public health workerst met informally to discuss a subject in which all were interested,-the next steps in preventive medicine and health promotion. No formal report was adopted; but the following paragraphs have been based on stenographic notes of the discussion, condensed or expanded where necessary for clarity. The participants have agreed to...

Universal characteristic decomposition of radical differential ideals

We call a differential ideal universally characterizable, if it is characterizable w.r.t. any ranking on partial derivatives. We propose a factorization-free algorithm that represents a radical differential ideal as a finite intersection of universally characterizable ideals. The algorithm also constructs a universal characteristic set for each universally characterizable component, i.e., a fin...

Local and Regional Revenues: Realities and Prospects

The traditional theory of fiscal federalism prescribes a very limited tax base for subnational governments. The only good local taxes are said to be those that are easy to administer locally, are imposed solely (or mainly) on local residents, and do not raise problems of harmonization or competition between subnational – local or regional governments or between subnational and national governme...
