Towards Modern Greek Consciousness
Authors: Droulia Loukia
Published: March 2015

This paper deals with the subject of Modern Greek consciousness which can be said epigrammatically to have its starting point in the Provisional Constitution of Greece ratified by the Assembly of Epidaurus in January 1822. For it was then necessary that two crucial questions be answered, namely who were to be considered as citizens of the new state about to be created and what regions it covered. The attempt to find answers to these questions necessarily led to the re-examination of the Greek nation's historical course over the millenia.

For this purpose the terms that express the concepts which register the self-definition of a human group and their use over time, are here examined as well as the links that formed the connection between the groups of Greek-speaking Orthodox Christians who, as a result of historical circumstances, had until then been geographically scattered. One solid link was the unbroken use of their common language; the "ancestral culture" was the other definitive element which had a continuous though uneven presence throughout the centuries. Finally the "place", having preserved the same geographical name, "Hellas", through the centuries although its borders were certainly unclear, now took on a weighty significance as regards the conscious identification of the historical land with the new state that the Greeks were struggling to create in the nineteenth century. These and other factors contributed to the acceptance by the Greek nation of the nomenclature Ellines, Ellada which were unanimously adopted during the Greek war of Independence, instead of the terms Graikoi, Romioi, Graikia.
Diversité des théories libérales en Grèce au XIXe siècle
Authors: Argyropoulos Roxane D.
Published: March 2015

Étudier l'émergence du mouvement libéral en Grèce au XIXe siècle implique une série de difficultés d'interprétation. C'est appréhender un univers qui a été légué par la Révolution française et nous conduit à l'acquisition de principes indispensables au fonctionnement d'une société démocratique moderne. Υ travers des types de discours différents, nous essayons de suivre les traces de cette mise en œuvre du principe de la liberté de 1830 jusqu'à la veille du premier conflit mondial. On assiste après 1830, à une période de transition mais également de mise en œuvre des idées novatrices des Lumières. Les libéraux grecs ont pris fait et cause pour des combats concernant le respect de la vie humaine, la réciprocité des droits et des devoirs et sont dominés par la préoccupation de la liberté d'expression et de création, l'abolition de la peine de mort, l'idéal républicain, l'instruction publique, le défi du progrès. Depuis les années 1830 jusqu'en 1870, se réclamer du libéralisme, c'est s'inscrire dans les forces progressistes. Mais, la dernière phase de son édification fut liée à la montée du socialisme et du marxisme, qu'il allait remettre en question, et dans les années qui ont suivi la défaite de 1897, le libéralisme est confronté à des théories comme la pensée polyvalente de Nietzsche. Dans les différentes phases de l'évolution de la pensée libérale en Grèce, on observe des variations qui pour la plupart sont des étapes du processus vers la démocratie.

 
Les sociétés insulaires de la Mer Égée au temps de la domination ottomane. Routes communes et trajectoires séparées
Authors: Dimitropoulos Dimitris
Published: March 2015

L'objectif de ce texte est d'identifier les éléments qui ont joué un rôle unificateur et, respectivement, les facteurs qui ont différencié les îles de la mer Égée, pendant la domination ottomane. Il traite notamment du rôle qu'ont joué l'emplacement géographique, l'insularité, et la grandeur de chaque île, dans la formation de leur économie et la constitution des sociétés locales. L'argumentation se concentre surtout sur les petites îles de l'Égée et sur des sujets comme la forme et le type des bourgades, le caractère de leur fortification et son évolution, le rôle et les effets du pouvoir ottoman dans les institutions locales et l'administration communale, le caractère de l'économie insulaire et ses rapports avec la mer, les réseaux de communication entre les insulaires et l'évolution indépendante et particulière de chaque île, les déplacements des populations de et vers les îles, la migration et la mobilité des groupes professionnels à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur de la région de l'Égée, et enfin le rôle des monastères dans le développement des réseaux de communication dans l'espace insulaire.

 
A Founder on Founding: Jefferson's Advice to Koraes
Authors: Evrigenis Ioannis D.
Published: March 2015

In 1823, shortly after the outbreak of the Greek Revolution, and in the context of a general attempt to gather support for the Greek cause, Adamantios Koraes wrote to Thomas Jefferson, whom he had met once in Paris, to request his advice on the founding of a Greek state. Although brief, the exchange between the two men provides a rare, if not unique, record of a founder's advice to an aspiring emulator. Koraes' role in Greek political and intellectual life, coupled with Jefferson's fame, have made the correspondence between the two men a source of some interest among Greek scholars, but Jefferson's advice has never been studied in the context of his broader political theory. This paper traces the history of the acquaintance of the two men and of their subsequent correspondence, and places Jefferson's recommendations in the context of his political thought. Written as it was with the benefit of a long life in politics and more than forty-five years of experience from the American founding, Jefferson's advice to Koraes provides a singular opportunity to assess his political ideas over time.

Aristote selon D. Katartzis
Authors: Argyropoulos Roxane D.
Published: March 2015

Υ une époque de crise philosophique, pendant laquelle nous assistons parmi les élites intellectuelles néohelléniques à une vague de polémiques contre l'aristotélisme, opposant les adeptes de la tradition aux modernes, Démètre Katartzis, dans ses projets pour la diffusion des idées des Lumières, veut remettre les doctrines du Stagirite dans leur contexte initial en mettant fin aux changements apportés par les commentaires des Maîtres de Padoue et de leurs élèves grecs. Parmi ses contemporains, il garde un regard différent et, forcément, une position insolite: il est incontestablement du côté du philosophe dont l'autorité bascule en lui demeurant largement tributaire et en lui conférant une dimension nouvelle. Car, en éprouvant le besoin d'écarter les commentaires néoaristotéliciens qui forment l'héritage du XVIIe siècle, Katartzis fait surgir un nouveau modèle de lecture des ouvrages aristotéliciens avec le retour aux sources mêmes. Ainsi, convaincu de l'importance du philosophe grec, il invite le public à redécouvrir Aristote, qui n'a cessé d'être le pôle de stabilité pour le développement de la pensée humaine. C'est précisément dans le cadre du renouvellement de l'interprétation du corpus aristotelicum par le recours aux sources, qu'il faut apprécier les convictions de Katartzis sur le philosophe. Avec lui, émerge une voie différente pour les études aristotéliciennes, qui trouveront leur apogée, plus tard, dans l'œuvre philologique d'Adamantios Coray, helléniste et penseur politique, quand celui-ci entreprendra, durant les premières années de la Révolution de 1821, l'édition critique des œuvres d'éthique et de politique du Stagirite.

The Greek War of Independence from the Perspective of Historical Sociology
Authors: Lekas Padelis E.
Published: March 2015

This is an attempt to place the Greek War of Independence in the wider context of the clash between Tradition and Modernity in the European periphery. It focuses on the ideology and the movement of nationalism - a phenomenon springing up in modernity and bringing forward the concept of the nation as the proper unit of state organisation. Being the undisputed offspring of nationalism (which is viewed here as both the product and the vehicle of modernisation), the Greek War of Independence is discussed not solely in its political dimensions but also in terms of its contribution to a much broader societal change. It is in this sense that the Greek struggle for independence may be interpreted as the specifically "Greek exit" from tradition - as an undoubtedly unique event of momentous importance per se, yet, on the other hand, as one more instance in a prolonged and very intricate process of societal transformations.
Cypriot Archaelogy, Modern Numismatics and Social Engineering: The Iconography of the British Coinage of Cyprus
Authors: Hatzopoulos Miltiades
Published: March 2015

This article examines the use of numismatic iconography by the British colonial administration of Cyprus in order, initially, to legitimise its possession of the island and, subsequently, to promote an Eteocypriot, an "authentic Cypriot", identity as counter-poison against Greek nationalism. In this endeavour of social engineering, archaeological items and other symbols from Cyprus' past played a prominent part. The outbreak of the Cypriot guerrilla war for union with Greece in 1955 highlighted the bankruptcy of this operation. Nevertheless, British efforts to evade Cyprus' overwhelmingly Greek past - and present - continued unabated, even after the formal recognition of the island's independence.

The Quest for Hellenism: Religion, Nationalism and Collective Identities in Greece (1453-1913)
Authors: Livanios Dimitris
Published: March 2015

The main aim of this essay is to offer a critical survey of the development of Greek collective identities, between 1453 and 1913. That period witnessed dramatic transformations, and the arrival of a modernising and Westernising wave, which crashed onto the Greek shores in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The ensuing clash between Western and modern ideas of nationalism on the one hand, and time-honoured local mentalities nurtured by Orthodoxy and the Ottoman millet system, on the other, was intense. This paper attempts to chart some salient aspects of that struggle, to discuss the evolution of concepts and words, such as "Hellene" [Έλληνας], "Hellenism" [Ελληνισμός], "Roman" [Ρωμιός] and "Romiosyne" [Ρωμιοσύνη], and to place them within their changing historical context.
Greek-Romanian Symbiotic Patterns in the Early Modern Period: History,Mentalities, Institutions - I
Authors: Panou Nikos
Published: March 2015

The patriarchal decree validating the establishment of the Wallachian archdiocese in 1359; a series of documents pertaining to the early history of the Koutloumousiou monastery on Mount Athos; the surviving redactions of Patriarch Niphon II's lost vita; the proceedings of the interrogation of a Greek priest arrested by the Polish authorities on charges of conspiracy and espionage; and an emphatically digressive section in Matthew of Myra's verse chronicle known as History of Wallachia. This article, of which the first part is presently published, offers a discussion of these textual materials - which span four crucial centuries of Balkan history and represent an intriguing variety of discursive practices and traditions. It aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the intricate mechanisms that generated a climate of toleration, mobility and inter-ethnic contact in the Ottoman Balkans, enabling a symbiotic relationship between Greeks and Romanians, which found its vital space in the semi-autonomous and strategically located Danubian principalities, and endured throughout the early modern period despite having been severely undermined by opposing tendencies and conflicting interests. The two sections at hand focus on the Bishop of Myra's pivotal text, as well as on written records related to the early, and yet formative, contacts between the nascent Romanian states and the late Byzantine Empire; in the two remaining sections, which will appear in the next volume of The Historical Review, this endeavour will be brought to a conclusion by means of a (necessarily selective) presentation of evidence dating from the period after the fall of Constantinople and up to the beginning of the seventeenth century.

La différenciation du comportement grec vis-à-vis des Bulgares vers le milieu du XIXe siècle –Problèmes de nationalismes–
Authors: Politis Alexis
Published: March 2015

L'intelligentsia grecque découvre et codifie pour la première fois les revendications nationales du peuple bulgare assez tard, dans les années qui suivent la guerre de Crimée, à une époque où elle rêvait d'un empire national grec, et toute revendication territoriale lui paraissait hostile. Comme la nationalité grecque était la première à se manifester dans les Balkans, et comme la Guerre de l'Indépendance en 1821 avait attiré plusieurs Bulgares combattants -à cause de la religion commune et à cause du prestige de la langue et de l'éducation grecque pendant quatre siècles- les Grecs avaient de la difficulté à saisir le nationalisme de leurs voisins dans le cadre de nouvelles conditions historiques. Ils l'ont considéré comme provenant de leurs fautes: si les Grecs avaient manipulé mieux leur politique, le nationalisme bulgare n'aurait pas eu lieu. Les Grecs ont alors essayé de rappeler aux Bulgares les traits qui unissaient les deux races. En vain; car vers la fin du siècle les antagonismes nationaux devenaient encore plus durs: jamais un nationalisme n'a pu se réaliser sans donner lieu à des conflits violents avec son voisinage, jamais les adversaires n'ont limité leur champ de bataille à la théorie ou la littérature.

 

 
Alexandre Theotokis la notion de l'évolution et le premier texte de zoologie grecque
Authors: Krimbas Costas B.
Published: March 2015

Alexandre Theotokis, membre de l'illustre famille de Corfou, ayant fait des études de zoologie et paléontologie au Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle à Paris, publie en 1848 les Tableaux zoologiques généraux ou Prodrome à la zoologie hellénique, un livre dans lequel pour la première fois est présenté en langue grecque la notion d'évolution, onze ans avant la publication de l'Origine des espèces de Darwin. Theotokis est anti-évolutionniste et suit fidèlement les opinions de son maître Henri Ducrotay de Blainville. Theotokis exerça une forte influence sur son neveu Constantin, auteur bien connu de la littérature grecque moderne.
The Religious Roots of Linguistic Nationalism
Authors: Kakridis Yannis
Published: March 2015

This paper consists of two parts. In the first part, nationalism is analysed as a kind of gnostic religion (in the sense given to this term by E. Voegelin). In the mind of their adherents, nations are ultimate realities in which the objective (fatalistic) and the subjective (voluntaristic) side of the historical process coincide. In the second part, it is argued that language, by its dialectical character, appears as the very incarnation of the nationalist ideal. The ensuing paradoxes of nationalist language policy are listed and briefly analysed: the equation of the language of culture with the language of everyday life; the equation of norm with use; the equation of object language with metalanguage; the equation of modernity with authenticity; and the equation of the national with the universal.
Autour d'un mystère de l'histoire du livre. Les trois versions du premier volume du Voyage pittoresque de Choiseul-Gouffier
Authors: Koubourlis Ioannis
Published: March 2015

Dans cet article, il est question d'un grand mystère de l'histoire du livre, celui de l'existence de trois versions différentes du premier volume du Voyage pittoresque de la Grèce (1782) de Choiseul-Gouffier, c'est-à-dire d'un ouvrage majeur pour la floraison des idées philhellènes dans l'Europe des XVIIIe-XIXe siècles. On sait, grâce à la correspondance de l'auteur, qu'il avait pris la décision de réviser son texte dès 1783, en raison de sa candidature pour le poste d'Ambassadeur de France à Constantinople. Par contre, on n'en sait pas davantage sur le lieu et le temps exacts où il a travaillé les deux nouvelles versions, portant également la date 1782, ni d'ailleurs sur les circonstances de leur édition. Sur la base d'une étude comparative des trois versions du texte, qui met l'accent sur l'argumentation avancée chaque fois par l'auteur, nous formulons ici une série d'hypothèses pour l'interprétation de ce mystère, que nous allons examiner dans leurs détails à partir d'une étude de bibliologie qui suivra le présent article.
The French Sources between the Young Kazantzakis and Nietzsche
Authors: De Boel Gunnar
Published: March 2015

Kazantzakis wrote in 1909 a dissertation on Nietzsche's philosophy, in view of a career at the University of Athens. He based this dissertation mainly on studies by French scholars, which provided him not only with most of its content, but also with its very structure. The description of the meaning of Greece to Nietzsche, for example, and the references to ancient Greek authors are indebted to these French commentators, rather than to a direct reading of the primary source. Even more importantly, some of the concepts that Kazantzakis attributes to Nietzsche, and which play an essential role in his own thinking, up to the period of his great post-World War II novels, appear to be based on a mistaken interpretation of Nietzsche by Lichtenberger, according to which man is a particle of the divine substance, the eternal Will. For the real Nietzsche, the mysteries of sexuality constitute the only form of eternal life.
United States Foreign Policy and the Liberal Awakening in Greece, 1958-1967
Authors: Draenos Stan
Published: March 2015

This paper traces the evolution and outcome of the US opening to the Greek Center triggered by the May 1958 parliamentary elections. It focuses on the role which that opening played in the liberal awakening that took shape under the banner of the Center Union (CU) party, founded in September 1961. After John F. Kennedy assumed the US presidency (January 1961), New Frontier liberals, including Andreas Papandreou, son of CU leader George Papandreou, pushed more aggressively for this opening, which was validated by the Center Union's rise to power in November 1963, the same month as the Kennedy assassination. During the Johnson Administration, US liberal policies in Greece were tested and found wanting, as Cold War fears trumped the US embrace of reform and change in Greece. The American retreat drove US policies towards bankruptcy, culminating in an uneasy acceptance of the 1967 Greek military dictatorship, wreaking permanent damage on Greek-US relations.

Preparing the Greek Revolution in Odessa in the 1820s: Tastes, Markets and Political Liberalism
Authors: Sifneos Evrydiki
Published: March 2015

The article highlights the port-city space of Odessa during the first three decades of its foundation as an important hub of commercial activity, maritime trade and political liberalism in southern Russia. It emphasizes the role of multiple markets based on imported and local trade goods and describes the different ethnicities involved in foreign trade, focusing on merchants of Greek origin, their participation in the Philiki Etaireia and their degree of involvement in its organizational mechanisms. I attempt to read the Philiki Etaireia’s development and its influence on the Eastern Question and Russian-Ottoman relations in light of the general political fermentation that was taking part in the Russian Empire, mainly through the creation of secret societies within the Russian army. I believe that the Russian authorities, being involved in the general mobility and movement of ideas, influenced by the Western experiences of the Russian military, had to deal primarily with major political issues that left aside, at least at a regional level, movements of the same character that concerned the Greeks. In this positive political climate the “commercial outlook” of the Greek revolutionaries gave them the necessary coverage to act and move relatively freely.

The Crimean peninsula is a tourist gem of the Northern Black Sea, has long earned the nickname "Russian Riviera". The birth and development of tourism and certain types and forms of tourism services in the Russian Empire was connected exactly with the Crimea. The problems of the history of the recreation development of Crimea, development of tourist services and leisure activities are widely revealed in some of its issues and aspects. But these issues continues to remain relevant, since provide answers to many topical questions and predict future trends development of the main sector of the regional economy. The purpose of the publication is generalization of the experience of the tourism and recreation development on the Crimean peninsula, the selection of stages of its formation, identification of key characteristics and features of these stages. Crimea has an inexhaustible reserve ofresources for the development ofinbound international and domestic tourism. Southern coast of Crimea ("Crimean Riviera") is a classic example of recreational agglomeration, which in combination with the Sochi recreational areas could potentially form a polycentric recreational megaaglomeration "Russian Riviera". In the process of formation and development of the sphere of tourist services in Crimea are selected, justified and characterized seven periods: 1) prehistory of the Crimean tourism — until the middle of the XVIII century; 2) the period of pioneer elite development of the Crimean Riviera —1782-1830; 3) the period of focal recreational development in Crimea — 1830-1914; 4) period of the initial stage development of the Soviet recreation of Crimea — 1917-1940; 5) the period of intensive recreational development stage of the Soviet Crimea — 1945-1990; 6) Ukrainian period of recreational sphere development of the Crimea — 1991-2014; 7) the period of specialization in the development of domestic tourism as a part of Russia. Further state of tourism sector depends on the rate of development of the Russian economy and welfare of the population of Russia, transport accessibility of the peninsula.
Journey as an opening of space: the crimean vacations of the late 19th - the early 20th century (by the example of the family of Dmitriy Burilin, Ivanovo-voznyesensk manufacturer and maecenas)
Authors: Докучаев Денис , Dokuchaev Denis , Докучаева Наталья , Dokuchaeva Natalya
Published: March 2015

At the beginning of the nineteenth century journeys to the Crimea had only been coming into fashion among the Russian nobility, and by the end of the century this tendency had spread beyond aristocratic avocations. The Crimea became popular among merchants and manufacturers, philistines and clerks. The article studies the circumstances of the Crimean vacations of the family of Dmitriy Burilin at the turn of the nineteenth — the twentieth century´s. Dmitriy Burilin (1852-1924) was a manufacturer, Maecenas, collector, and founder of a museum in Ivanovo-Voznyesensk. He was a distinguished public figure of the Russian province at the turn of the centuries. His family travelled a lot through the country and abroad. The Crimea was a favorite place of the Burilins´ vacations. While at the very beginning of the 1900s the Crimean peninsula had served as a starting point of their voyages through Southern Europe (by the steamships of the Russian company of trade and steamship in Sevastopol), in the 1910s the Burilins opened the Southern part of the Crimea and stayed there for a long time. The family were coming there for health, to know about ancient and medieval history. Those journeys also served as family education. The Burilins visited Yalta several times, stayed at fashionable hotels of that time — «Metropol» and «Russia». During their vacations in Alupka and Gurzuf they had been treated by the leading doctors of that time. In Feodosiya Dmitriy Burilin had seen the works of Ivan Aivazovsky for the first time. Later he became the worshipper of Aivazovsky´s works and added some of them to his collection. The source base of the research consists of the Burilins´ correspondence, containing in the collection of the Ivanovo state historical museum.
Organization of excursions for students to the Crimea In the late 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century (Vyatka province is taken as an example)
Authors: Мерзлякова Галина , Merzlyakova Galina , Баталова Лариса , Batalova Larisa
Published: March 2015

Basing on the archives´ documents the article looks at the practice of organization of excursions for students to the Crimea in the late 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Excursion tourist experience of educational institutions in Vyatskaya province, Elabuga girls´ school in particular, is taken as an example to show the way how cultural and educational excursions for students to the Crimea were organized. Detailed account of one of the excursions to the Crimea, published in Vyatskaya diocesan record by one of the students, reveals the role of the Crimean mountain club in the development of cultural and educational excursions for students. All the excursions were arranged in accordance with specially designed programmers under the supervision of the members of the Crimean club and were aimed at familiarizing students with natural and historical monuments in the Crimea. The article gives an example of one excursion itinerary. The author looks into innovative activities of the Crimean mountain club within the tourism industry of the given period. When looking at the Crimean mountain club activities, special attention is paid to its Yalta branch. Yalta branch pioneered organization of excursions for students in Russia. At that time student excursions were one-day trips in the vicinity of Yalta. Much attention is given to the main directions in the work of the Crimean mountain club branch in Yalta, that contributed to the development and popularization of cultural and educational excursions for students, to designing new itineraries and routes (walking, riding, sea, carriage and combined excursions). Moreover Yalta branch negotiated intensely with the suppliers of horses and carriage owners of accommodation and did their best to make excursions for students cheaper.

This problem today is being solved. The author proposes solutions for other important issues.
Inducing Social Norms in Laboratory Allocation Choices
Authors: Schram Arthur , Charness Gary
Published: March 2015

Social norms involve observation by others and external sanctions for violations, whereas moral norms involve introspection and internal sanctions. To study such norms and their effects, we design a laboratory experiment. We examine dictator choices, where we create a shared understanding by providing advice from peers with no financial payoff at stake. We vary whether advice is given, as well as whether choices are made public. This design allows us to explicitly separate the effects of moral and social norms. We find that choices are in fact affected by a combination of observability and shared understanding.

Gaining Access by Doing Good: The Effect of Sociopolitical Reputation on Firm Participation in Public Policy Making
Authors: Werner Timothy

This paper examines the role of firms' sociopolitical reputations, as proxied by their perceived engagement in socially responsible practices, in public policy makers' decisions to grant access in the policy-making process. I argue that policy makers' dependencies, motivations, and decision-making processes lead them to evaluate firms by using sociopolitical reputation as a differentiating heuristic. I hypothesize that firms that construct stronger sociopolitical reputations will be granted greater access and that firms' existing political activity and policy makers' partisanship will moderate this relationship. I test these hypotheses using an 11-year panel on congressional testimony, reputation, and political and financial characteristics for the S&P 500 and find support for all three. These findings support the existence of a sociopolitical dimension to firms' reputations that affects how public policy makers evaluate firms, demonstrating that corporate social responsibility pays political benefits.

A topical haemoglobin spray for oxygenating pressure ulcers: a pilot study
Authors: Tickle Joy
Published: March 2015

The effect of pressure ulcers on patient quality of life have been recognised as a real problem for many years, and the need for robust and effective management of pressure ulcers is now a prominent national health-care issue. Myriad different interventions exist for the treatment of pressure ulcers, including clinically effective dressings and pressure-relieving devices, yet many pressure ulcers still do not heal and often become a chronic wound. This is the second of a series of articles ( Norris, 2014 ) discussing the clinical evaluation of a topical oxygen therapy in practice. It describes a small evaluation involving 18 patients with pressure ulcers. The study set out to determine the effect of a topical oxygen therapy on wound size. The therapy comprises a canister that sprays pure haemoglobin in a water solution into or onto the wound. The haemoglobin spray needs to be used at least once every 3 days, does not require training on its use and can be used in any care setting. Overall, results identified wound healing progression in all 18 wounds and wound size reduction in 17 of the 18 wounds.
The thickness of exudate: does it matter?
Authors: Jones June
Published: March 2015

The majority of chronic wounds are managed in the community by the district nursing team. With increasing constraints on the health-care budget, it can be tempting to manage exudate by focusing solely on the exudate-handling capability of some of the more absorbent dressings available. However, exudate levels and viscosity can change depending on the patient and the wound, with exudate being a marker of potential infection. Ongoing assessment of the wound, the exudate and the patient is pivotal to effective wound management, with timely and appropriate intervention being key. This article discusses this management, with particular focus on dealing with thick exudate.
Prevention and management of diabetic foot ulcers
Authors: Turns Martin
Published: March 2015

As part of an annual foot review, trained and competent personnel should examine patients' feet to detect risk factors for ulceration. Foot examination with shoes and stockings removed should include: palpation of foot pulses; testing foot sensations using 10g monofilament or vibration; inspection for significant callus or deformed nails; inspection for any structural deformity; asking about any previous ulceration; checking for signs of ulceration; asking about any pain; and inspecting footwear. Following assessment, a foot risk classification score should be given. The person with diabetes should then be informed of their risk score, with education offered regarding future foot-care management. Diabetic foot complications include ulceration, Charcot foot, painful neuropathy, gangrene and amputation. Risk factors for ulceration include non-palpable pulses, insensate foot, significant callus, deformed nails, history of previous ulcer or amputation, tissue damage or signs of ulceration, foot pain and unsuitable footwear.
An evaluation of short-stretch compression systems for chronic lower-limb leg ulcers
Authors: Carr Caryn , Shadwell Janice , Regan Pip , Hammett Susan
Published: March 2015

An evaluation of a new short-stretch compression system (CoFlex UBZ, TLC and TLC Lite, Aspen Medical Europe Ltd) was undertaken in four leg ulcer clinics. A total of 19 patients aged 42–93 years were treated for up to 4 weeks, or until healed. Collated data included age, underlying diseases, leg ulcer type, ulcer duration and current treatment. The evaluation included quality of life measurements, wear time, slippage, exudate strikethrough and pain using a numerical pain score. Patients were asked to document sleep patterns. Compression was applied according to clinical need. Inclusion criteria were non-healing wounds on the lower limb existing for more than 6 weeks that were suitable for compression. Exclusion criteria included patients with untreated peripheral disease, ankle–brachial pressure index (ABPI)<0.5 or those unable to consent. Staff were asked to rate performance, wear time, fluid handling and conformability. Wound tissue types improved significantly for n=16 (84%) patients. Pain scores reduced significantly by week 2, n=11 (58%) patient leg ulcers had improved, n=2 (11%) patients in standard compression noted a marked reduction in malodour and sloughy tissue. n=16 (84%) rated the overall performance as ‘very good’ or ‘good’. A detailed cost analysis was undertaken on one patient, suggesting a potential cost saving of £186.92 per month and a cost efficiency saving of 43.4%.
Management of common neonatal problems
Authors: El-Radhi A Sahib
Published: March 2015

The important causes of neonatal mortality are congenital malformations, birth trauma, neonatal infections, and respiratory, metabolic and heart diseases. Although many of the neonatal problems are benign, self-limited and treatable, some are life-threatening and a direct cause of disability and death. Professionals who provide care for children must be aware of these problems, their natural history, their impact on children's heath and their treatment. Birth marks are common and often harmless, but parents need explanation and reassurance. Follow-up appointments are often necessary to ensure the general wellbeing of the affected children. Birth trauma, such as intracranial haemorrhage or arm paralysis, may occur during delivery, and treatment at a specialised unit is usually required. The prognosis of neonatal infections is generally poor, with high mortality unless treatment is started promptly and adequately. Respiratory diseases occur mainly in low birth-weight infants who may require mechanical ventilation. Metabolic and heart diseases are rare, but early detection is essential to ensure a high survival rate.

Parents of children conceived through assisted conception
Authors: Griffith Richard
Published: March 2015

Parental responsibility allows parents to exercise rights over their children and to make decisions on behalf of the child that are in the best interests of the welfare of the child. It is a crucial part of being a parent. In recognition of the changing demographic of the family resulting in more cohabiting couples and step families the law relating to parental responsibility was changed in 2003 and 2005. With the development of more effective assisted conception techniques and increased use of ‘do-it-yourself ’ insemination using semen purchased over the Internet it was necessary to amend the rules relating to parenthood as a result of assisted conception. This article considers the amendments relating to the recognition of parenthood introduced by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008.

Quality Characteristics of the Fermented Angelica Leaves
Authors: Heo Min-Young , Chung Ha-Yull
Published: March 2015

Consumption of angelica leaves (Angelica utilis) juice as a health-improving drink faces some limitation due to its bitter taste. In this study, fermented angelica leaves was prepared using some lactic acid bacteria from kimchi with their sensory properties and biological activities examined. The addition of ALm (angelica leaves fermented by Leuconostoc mesenteroides) in plain yoghurt increased umami and preference compared to the yoghurt where dried angelica leaves were added. The ALm extract showed higher DPPH radical scavenging activity than other extracts and its flavonoid content was the highest. In case of A549 (lung cancer cell line) in CCK-8 assay, ALp (angelica fermented by Lactobacillus plantarum) extract exhibited inhibiting activity at 400 ppm level. When it comes to HT29 (colorectal cancer cell line), ALm, as well as Alp, depicted inhibition effects. In the fermented angelica leaves including ALm and ALp, the characteristic bitter taste of angelica leaves decreased through fermentation process so that both of them could be used as a health drink ingredient.

Introduction: The Learning Health Care System (LHCS) model seeks to utilize
sophisticated technologies and competencies to integrate clinical operations, research
and patient participation in order to continuously generate knowledge, improve care, and
deliver value. Transitioning from concept to practical application of an LHCS presents
many challenges but can yield opportunities for continuous improvement. There is limited
literature and practical experience available in operationalizing the LHCS in the
context of an integrated health system. At Geisinger Health System (GHS) a
multi-stakeholder group is undertaking to enhance organizational learning and develop a
plan for operationalizing the LHCS system-wide. We present a framework for
operationalizing continuous learning across an integrated delivery system and lessons
learned through the ongoing planning process.Framework: The framework focuses attention
on nine key LHCS operational components: Data and Analytics; People and Partnerships;
Patient and Family Engagement; Ethics and Oversight; Evaluation and Methodology;
Funding; Organization; Prioritization; and Deliverables. Definitions, key elements and
examples for each are presented. The framework is purposefully broad for application
across different organizational contexts.Conclusion: A realistic assessment of the
culture, resources and capabilities of the organization related to learning is critical
to defining the scope of operationalization. Engaging patients in clinical care and
discovery, including quality improvement and comparative effectiveness research,
requires a defensible ethical framework that undergirds a system of strong but flexible
oversight. Leadership support is imperative for advancement of the LHCS model. Findings
from our ongoing work within the proposed framework may inform other organizations
considering a transition to an LHCS.
Policy, politics, health and housing in the UK
Authors: Dorling Danny
Published: March 2015

We need to focus policy and political attention on the very recent changes to the patterns of ownership and wealth in housing in Britain which have occurred since the 2008 financial collapse. A small group of private landlords, less than 2% of the population, have taken advantage of the new circumstances to rapidly enrich themselves and return Britain to a time when a very large number of families with children relied on private renting to provide them with a home, now 1 in 4 of all English families with children. The possible implications for health, politics and policy are profound.
