Published: October 2002

The authors examined the impact of 2 hybrid dispute resolution procedures (mediation-arbitration [med-arb] and arbitration-mediation [arb-med]) and 3 disputant dyadic structures (individual vs. individual, individual vs. team, and team vs. team) on various dispute outcomes. Consistent with W. H. Ross and D. E. Conlon (2000), the authors found that disputants in the arb-med procedure (a) settled in the mediation phase of their procedure more frequently and (b) achieved settlements of higher joint benefit than did disputants in the med-arb procedure. These results suggest that arb-med may be a dispute resolution procedure with broader applicability than originally imagined.

Healthcare is defined by rapidly advancing technologies and increased patient expectations, resulting in frequent disagreements between patients, their families, and medical practitioners. Historically, these conflicts have been settled through the adversarial court system, which frequently fails to produce equitable results due to unequal legal representation, procedural difficulties, and other shortcomings. This analysis investigates mediation, a type of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), as a viable option for addressing healthcare disputes.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the relationship between surface characteristics like wetting and topography and their impact on ice adhesion strength (IAS), highlighting inconsistencies in previous research efforts.
  • It summarizes various wetting and topography parameters linked to IAS and evaluates a broad range of surfaces using advanced measurement techniques.
  • Findings reveal significant errors in past assumptions about IAS correlations, particularly challenging the notion of practical work of adhesion, and identify a promising wetting parameter that could effectively correlate with shear IAS on certain smooth surfaces.

Emerging debates and resolutions in brown adipose tissue research.

Until two decades ago, brown adipose tissue (BAT) was studied primarily as a thermogenic organ of small rodents in the context of cold adaptation. The discovery of functional human BAT has opened new opportunities to understand its physiological role in energy balance and therapeutic applications for metabolic disorders. Significantly, the role of BAT extends far beyond thermogenesis, including glucose and lipid homeostasis, by releasing mediators that communicate with other cells and organs.

Despite decades of research, it has been difficult to resolve debates about the existence and nature of partisan bias-the tendency to evaluate information more positively when it supports, rather than challenges, one's political views. Whether partisans display partisan biases, and whether any such biases reflect motivated reasoning, remains contested. We conducted four studies (total N = 4,010) in which participants who made unblinded evaluations of politically relevant science were compared to participants who made blinded evaluations of the same study.
