Private initiatives and Dutch government in historical perspective

The central question in this article is whether the relationship between the current citizen’s initiatives and government in the Netherlands shows similarities to the relationship between their predecessors (usually denoted as ‘private initiatives’) and government in the past, and more specifically in the time of pillarization. In the article it is claimed that in the time of pillarization – the period between around 1900 and 1970, when Dutch society was characterized by vertical social divisions along denominational (religious) and ideological lines – private initiatives and Dutch government developed a peculiar symbiotic relationship. In this period, on the one hand the pillarized private initiatives, as a matter of course, expected a large degree of autonomy but at the same time all sorts of support from Dutch government when administering various public tasks. On the other hand, Dutch government took for granted that the pillarized private initiatives highly contributed to the initiation and administration of these public tasks. Since the disintegration of the pillars in 1970s Dutch government has been searching for new ways to relate to the old and new private initiatives, and vice versa. Yet in this search both government and private initiatives still seem driven by the old ‘reflexes’ of pillarization.

Citizen’s initiatives: partnership between citizens and government

In recent years the Dutch welfare state has invested substantial sums of money in activation of citizen’s initiatives in deprived neighbourhoods. As a policy concept citizen’s initiatives refers to enhancements by citizens to the quality of life in their neighbourhood. Is this activation policy productive or counterproductive for citizen participation? This question is answered by analyzing the representativeness of the activated citizens, the nature of their initiatives, the type of relations they develop with institutions, and whether they develop more competences due to their initiative(s). Our findings indicate that the activated citizens are more often female, below 50, lower educated, and 40 percent is migrant, which makes them more representative than the participation elite (male, 50+, white, and higher educated). They form a new vanguard that activates many participants through initiatives that focus on connecting people and on social problems such as anonymity, isolation and nuisance. Many contacts with professionals contribute for them to a partnership relation geared toward cooperation instead of consumerism or dissatisfaction. Also these citizens develop democratic, bureaucratic and social competences as well as social reflexivity and empathy for other citizens and institutions. We conclude that activation of citizen’s initiatives has positive effects on citizen participation.

Professional support of citizen’s initiatives – a typology

In the Netherlands it is widely acknowledged that neighbourhood oriented citizen’s initiatives often require some professional support. Little is known, however, about the various types of support that professionals may provide. Moreover, Dutch policies usually tend to take an instrumental stance towards citizen initiatives, focussing on their possible contribution to governmental goals. In this contribution we make an effort to develop a typology of different types and roles of professional support. Four basic types of professional support are derived from two axis. The first axis distinguishes between an instrumental approach and a more personal approach, the second between professional support focussing on the initiative/the initiator or on the broader institutional and civil society context. From our empirical findings we conclude that a vital context for citizen initiatives may be produced through the combination of an instrumental and personal approach. The latter comprises efforts of empowerment attuned to both the specific personal needs and capacities of citizens and the typical neighbourhood context. A combined approach may reduce the risk of ‘crowding out citizenship’ that exists when citizen’s initiatives become an instrument in a government’s policy.
De nieuwe burgerlijkheid: participatie als conformerende zelfredzaamheid

The new civility: participation as policy-conforming self-sufficiency

For many years now, citizenship has been a hot topic in Dutch politics. The activation and participation of citizens has been part and parcel of many policy initiatives. In this fashion, the current cabinet of Prime Minister Rutte has stressed the virtues of a ‘big society’ and a ‘small government’. We call this the new civility: a citizenship philosophy in which an ethico-economic claim of self-sufficiency is accompanied by a strong anticipation of policy conformity. Notably, the democratic legitimation of the new civility has been reversed. Now it is government which demands civic accountability, not the other way around. Responsible citizenship, not responsible government is at its heart. Furthermore, the new civility is based on a reversal of the Mandevillean idea of private vices and public benefits. We illustrate its ambiguous strands by a case study of a citizen’s initiative project in the city of Dordrecht. We conclude by showing how the tension between the values of civil self-sufficiency and policy conformity ironically can turn out in a-political conception of citizenship.

Overlapping values, mutual prejudices. Empirical research into the professional values, norms and motivations of police officers and private security employees in the Netherlands

The private security sector is rapidly growing and their operations more and more comprise policing and public order maintenance, tasks which to date have been government’s primary responsibility. Some fear this development because the private sector is characterized by market values as profitability and efficiency instead of public sector values such as lawfulness and impartiality, putting the quality of public safety at risk. In this article the professional values, norms and motivations of police officers and private security employees in the Netherlands are compared on the basis of a standardized survey. The main conclusion is that there are large differences in how both groups perceive each other, however the underlying professional morale is actually more similar than different.

Absent alternatives and insider interests. A study of governments’ positions in reform debates during the financial crisis

The credit crisis that began in the summer of 2007 has fundamentally challenged much financial regulation and the political institutions that produced it. Measured against the criticisms that have been brought forth against previous financial governance, the extent of governments’ overall reform ambitions has been disappointing. Starting from this observation, this article asks: what explains governments’ reform choices, and thus also their limited ambitions? To explore this question, this article focuses on the positions that four governments central to global financial regulation (the USA, the UK, Germany and France) have taken in advance of the G20 meetings in 2009 across four key issue areas: accounting standards, derivatives trading, credit ratings agencies and banking rules. It evaluates both the overlap between positions across domains and governments as well as the differences between them. Such variation, we argue, provides key clues to the overall drivers behind reforms – as well as their limits. The overall picture that emerges can be summarized as follows: governments have been staunch defenders of their national firms’ competitive interests in regulatory reforms. That has not necessarily meant that they followed industry preferences across the board. It has been the relative impact, compared to foreign competitors, that counted in reform positions, not the absolute impact. These differences of opinion have played out within the context and the limits of the overall debates about thinkable policy alternatives. In spite of fundamental criticisms of pre-crisis regulatory orthodoxy, convincing and coherent alternatives have been forthcoming slowly at best. This has made reform proposals less radical than criticisms, seen on their own, might suggest.

The past, present and future of the Big Society; making sense of this history of ideas for the Netherlands

This article explores the intellectual, political and pragmatic origins of the concept Big Society. The authors argue that although the concept has become intertwined with the political ideas of UK’s Prime Minister David Cameron, the concept has also become firmly rooted in society and is thus likely to survive the political life of Cameron. Also outside the UK, the concept has acquired political attention. The authors explore the meaning of Big Society for the Netherlands. Thus far, the concept has reached the political agenda, but time will tell how the concept succeeds to sustain.
«Descriptio puellae» y cultismo en Góngora y Lope de Vega: el palacio como dama, la dama como palacio
Authors: Sánchez Jiménez Antonio
Published: January 2025

Este trabajo examina unos modismos del tópico de la descriptio puellae en textos de Góngora y Lope. Concretamente, estudia la imagen de la dama como atractivo palacio, que desarrolla un célebre soneto gongorino («De pura honestidad templo sagrado») y varios textos lopescos: el soneto 64 de las Rimas («Yo vi sobre dos piedras plateadas»), unos pasajes de De cosario a cosario (antes de 1619), de El caballero de Olmedo (c. 1621) y, especialmente, de La Circe (1624). Tras repasar algunos elementos del tópico de la descriptio puellae, y en particular las metáforas arquitectónicas, examinamos el soneto gongorino y las fuentes que propone la crítica, a las que sumamos el Cantar de los cantares. A continuación, estudiamos descriptiones puellarum en Lope, tanto las no arquitectónicas como, especialmente, las que sí que lo son, y en concreto las que usan la metáfora de la columna: para hablar del cuello de la dama, según el canon petrarquista, o para hablar de sus piernas, según una atrevida pero difundida tradición de literatura erótica que recoge el soneto 64 de las Rimas. Por último, y en la parte central del trabajo, examinamos estas metáforas en el Lope de senectud, cuya Circe las lleva a un refinamiento que podemos comparar con el gongorino.

History and trajectory of Rossetti's works ‘after Dante’: between private collections and museums
Authors: Le Pape Yannick
Published: January 2025

If we trace masterpieces by Rossetti "from Dante", we can observe that the most part remains in British or North American collections, although we had in mind that museums of the whole world would have got such emblematic items. Why? Dante was definitely popular in Great-Britain, so that it was quite easy for Rossetti to negotiate his works, and no doubt that the emerging speculative collecting for businessmen did limit sales to a short panel of wealthy rivals who took advantage of museums' hesitations about Pre-Raphaelitism — as well as foreign critics focused on Rossetti a bit too late, when his works were already in the English acquisitions field. That's why the current location of the Rossetti's "Dante pictures" deals not only with Victorian fantasies but also with the evolution of art market by the second part of the 19th century.
Marie Spartali Stillman: le donne diventano protagoniste dell’iconografia dantesca
Authors: Di Rocco Emilia
Published: January 2025

Il saggio propone un’analisi delle opere pittoriche di Marie Spartali Stillman ispirate a Dante. I quadri dell’artista inglese di origini greche, realizzati nel periodo compreso tra il 1880 e il 1914, oltre a testimoniare l’influenza dell’idea preraffaelita di Dante, entrano nel canone di un’iconografia che fino a quel momento – fatta eccezione per le illustrazioni della Commedia di Sophie Giacomelli – è prevalentemente al maschile. Formatasi nell’ambiente dei Preraffaeliti, come dimostrano i quadri a soggetto dantesco, per la Spartali la pratica artistica è anche un modo per trovare uno stile proprio, emanciparsi dai “padri” e trovare uno spazio come artista e come donna nell’Inghilterra vittoriana.

Published: January 2025

Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) remains a significant global health issue, particularly in primary healthcare settings. Enhancing healthcare competence in RHD management was crucial for early detection and effective treatment. The investigation aims to improve healthcare workers' competence in managing RHD through targeted training programs and assess the impact on their knowledge and clinical practices. Pre- and post-training surveys were used to assess knowledge, confidence, and practices. Clinical observations were conducted in 46 primary healthcare settings, involving 94 healthcare workers. Variables include knowledge level, Confidence in RHD Management, clinical practice adherence, diagnostic accuracy, and patient education effectiveness. Statistical analysis using SPSS Version 25, including the Paired t-test and Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test showed significant improvements in healthcare workers' competence in RHD diagnosis, treatment, and patient education (p<0.05). The Paired t-test was used to compare the mean differences in pre- and post-training scores for normally distributed data, it helps determine whether the mean difference between the two sets of data was statistically significant. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test assessed if there was significant variation between the two related samples (before and after training) by looking at the rank order of the differences rather than the actual values.The training program effectively enhanced healthcare workers' competence in managing RHD. The intervention holds promise for improving RHD outcomes in primary healthcare settings, with potential for broader implementation.

Published: January 2025

The impact of health-related issues on elder individuals' quality of life (QoL) is examined, and understanding the factors influencing older people's well-being is crucial as the world's population ages. Research looks at social, mental, and physical health indicators and how it affect various aspects of QoL, such as social interaction, emotional stability, and physical functioning. Standardized health evaluations and structured interviews were used to gather information from a sample of 850 senior citizens. The data include chronic illnesses, mobility issues, cognitive decline, physical health, and mental health conditions (anxiety and depression), which are important health-related considerations taken into account. Community involvement and social support systems were also assessed in connection with QoL. The IBM SPSS software version of 30 was utilized. The descriptive statistics were implemented to connect the participant characteristics, multiple regression analysis was employed to ascertain the fostering power of health-related factors on QoL, and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was utilized to estimate the overall effect of health-related factors on several QoL dimensions. The findings show that whereas cognitive impairments are substantially associated with decreased social engagement and overall life satisfaction, health issues and mobility limits considerably impact physical and emotional well-being. To improve elder people's QoL, these findings highlight the necessity of comprehensive healthcare strategies that address social, emotional, and physical well-being. Further research should explore interventions aimed at minimizing the impact of health-related factors on QoL in elderly populations.

Introduction: The whole of healthcare in a country is focused on the delivery of high-quality and efficient healthcare services, it will be essential to explore successful practices from abroad. Taking a comparative approach, this study finds several best practices across the globe in health system management, and identifying these core elements will help contribute to the success of healthcare systems.Methods: A literature review was performed to search for studies and reports on best practices in healthcare management from all over the world. We searched databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and WHO reports. The included studies were appraised for their relevance, credibility, and rigor. Through thematic and pattern identification and analysis, the findings were synthesized to produce the results. Results: Differences and similarities in healthcare management practices have been found, as evidenced by the results of the review. The key commonalities included the focus on patient-centered care, the importance of going beyond effective communication and leveraging technology to enhance the delivery of health services. Furthermore, the presence of an explicit healthcare policy and competent leadership were demonstrated to be critical elements of a successful health system in most countries.Conclusions: Implementing a student-approach-based clinical education. A strong and pragmatic policy, propelled by good leadership, is the formula for successful healthcare. Healthcare management practices vary across countries, pointing to the fact that there is no universal template or model for managing healthcare systems. This is an excellent benefit to healthcare professionals and planners because it will give them a broader outlook on effective practices in the world of healthcare delivery that can be adapted and implemented in the desired environment to enhance the efficient delivery of healthcare services.

It is very important to make sure that healthcare workers are safe and healthy because the job comes with a lot of risks. The goal of this paper is to show how planned methods to healthcare education can improve health and safety at work. It begins with considering the current issues in healthcare environments, such as the risk of contagious infections, chemical hazards, and physical stress requiring significant training interventions. Developing comprehensive training courses using the most recent technologies and proven effective approaches is the major aim in order to reduce these hazards. Among the most often discussed approaches are simulation-based training programs. These courses help medical professionals go through real-life scenarios and enhance their capacity to make crucial judgements free from concern for what could transpire in the future. It also emphasises the need of always learning and developing as a professional and advises that courses should be changed often to include fresh health risks and safety regulations. It is also emphasised how important it is for educational schools, healthcare facilities, and government bodies to work together to make sure that safety practices are the same everywhere. This implies not only training medical professionals but also ensuring that legislators and managers are aware of the best strategies to maintain employees' health and safety on the workplace. The article also addresses how digital tools and platforms could simplify the access to and application value of educational initiatives. These instruments enable one to maintain studying and interact with people in ways outside of the classroom. For continuously shifting healthcare environments, this is very crucial.

The COVID 19 has caused a problem in students from 9 to 11 years old in their learning of mathematics. for different causes such as lack of technological devices, laptops, smartphones, lack of internet, etc. Another cause that caused the desertion of students to receive virtual classes was to work with their parents in the fields in the rural sector. therefore, this research aims to analyze the impact that the emergence of COVID 19 has had on the learning of mathematics of the four basic operations in students from 9 to 11 years old. The COVID 19; had an impact on the problem of learning mathematics, having a worldwide affectation, within each country and different peoples of each region, so the teacher in his effort to achieve the best possible grasp of math problems applied different ways such as calls and WhatsApp messages with questions about the requirements to properly perform a job, dates to deliver it, doubts and, above all, requests to review the progress of a task and provide them with feedback. The strategies implemented during the pandemic facilitate online learning. Teacher training in educational technologies and access to devices and connectivity are key elements to ensure a successful transition to online learning. Assessment and feedback are important components of mathematics learning. This hinders their ability to identify and correct errors, to measure their progress and understanding in mathematics.

Introduction: The identification of genetic biomarkers to predict the response to nutritional therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) has become a promising area to improve the response to therapeutic interventions. In addition, biomarkers are of great help as biological determinants, to study, evaluate and determine Diabetes Mellitus 2. Objective: To analyze the genetic biomarkers associated with the response to nutritional therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes, in order to contribute to the development of personalized strategies that optimize metabolic control and improve the effectiveness of nutritional treatment. Methodology: Systematic review based on PRISMA. 15 studies published between 2018-2023 in databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Scielo, etc. were included. The inclusion criteria were articles on genetic biomarkers, original, systematic review, case studies. Publications prior to 2017, theses and duplicate articles, articles without free access were excluded. Results: The findings highlight the importance of polygenic markers and epigenetic factors, such as DNA methylation, in predicting therapeutic outcomes. Furthermore, the influence of dietary patterns on biomarker expression emphasizes the potential of personalized nutritional strategies in the management of type 2 diabetes. Conclusion: Despite advances in biomarker research, further studies are needed, particularly in Latin American populations, to develop effective interventions tailored to genetic profiles. This study underscores the importance of integrating genetic and environmental factors to improve clinical outcomes in the treatment of type 2 diabetes
Microneedles drug delivery system: insights on its fabrication techniques and challenges
Authors: Rehman Abdul
Published: January 2025

In recent years, there has been significant interest in an innovative transdermal delivery technology. This technology has the ability to distribute therapeutics and cosmeceuticals for various applications, such as vaccines, drugs, and biomolecules for skin-related issues. The advantages of microneedle patch technology have been thoroughly assessed in recent literature, resulting in a substantial increase in academic publications on the topic. However, like any new technology, the application of microneedle patches has potential limitations. In this review, we will discuss these limitations and emphasize the areas that require improvement. Emphasising these concerns early on should help scientists and technologists to address the matters in a timely fashion and to use their resources wisely.

The Boarding School partner has many students but the habit of washing their hands before eating is not accompanied by washing with soap. This is a concern because washing with soap ensures the disappearance of pathogenic microbes. Teaching the importance of washing hands with soap before meals aims to raise awareness about the benefits of maintaining hygiene and supplementary nutrition could improve health. We trained the pupils in the Boarding School to make liquid hand-washing soap and yoghurt to stimulate a hygienic lifestyle, provide in-house supplementary nutrition, and gain economic benefit from the products. The hygienic lifestyle knowledge was delivered through a presentation in an open-class setting, while soap and yoghurt production skills were taught by an in-hand workshop, followed by post-monitoring for both activities. The yoghurt was produced by fermentation, and the soap was made by formulating a macerate of fennel leaf extracted into hand-washing soap. The pupils’ knowledge of hygienic lifestyles improved with an average score of 68 to 90.

Tópicos de armonización entre la justicia penal para adolescentes y el juicio de amparo
Authors: Vilchis Robles Alejandro
Published: January 2025

El Sistema Integral de Justicia Penal para Adolescentes es un modelo aplicable a personas adolescentes que se les atribuye la comisión de conductas ilícitas. El juicio de amparo, por su parte, es un medio de control constitucional que puede ser instado para combatir actos de autoridad que vulneren derechos humanos. Ciertamente, el amparo es procedente para combatir actos derivados del sistema penal juvenil. El problema radica en que el juicio constitucional y el sistema de adolescentes no son del todo compatibles, por lo que se requiere la armonización de algunas figuras para garantizar que el amparo constituya un recurso judicial efectivo.
