Authors: Goyal Anupama A. , Tur Komalpreet , Mann Jason , Townsend Whitney , Flanders Scott A. , Chopra Vineet 
Published: November 2017

BACKGROUNDAlthough common, the impact of low‐cost bedside visual tools, such as whiteboards, on patient care is unclear.PURPOSETo systematically review the literature and assess the influence of bedside visual tools on patient satisfaction.DATA SOURCESMedline, Embase, SCOPUS, Web of Science, CINAHL, and CENTRAL.DATA EXTRACTIONStudies of adult or pediatric hospitalized patients reporting physician identification, understanding of provider roles, patient–provider communication, and satisfaction with care from the use of visual tools were included. Outcomes were categorized as positive, negative, or neutral based on survey responses for identification, communication, and satisfaction. Two reviewers screened studies, extracted data, and assessed the risk of study bias.DATA SYNTHESISSixteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Visual tools included whiteboards (n = 4), physician pictures (n = 7), whiteboard and picture (n = 1), electronic medical record‐based patient portals (n = 3), and formatted notepads (n = 1). Tools improved patients' identification of providers (13/13 studies). The impact on understanding the providers' roles was largely positive (8/10 studies). Visual tools improved patient–provider communication (4/5 studies) and satisfaction (6/8 studies). In adults, satisfaction varied between positive with the use of whiteboards (2/5 studies) and neutral with pictures (1/5 studies). Satisfaction related to pictures in pediatric patients was either positive (1/3 studies) or neutral (1/3 studies). Differences in tool format (individual pictures vs handouts with pictures of all providers) and study design (randomized vs cohort) may explain variable outcomes.CONCLUSIONThe use of bedside visual tools appears to improve patient recognition of providers and patient–provider communication. Future studies that include better design and outcome assessment are necessary before widespread use can be recommended.
Information Warfare on Social Media: A Brand Management Perspective
Authors: Kalpokas Ignas 
Published: November 2017

AbstractEmploying a perspective informed by brand management, this article aims at understanding information warfare operations in social media. The state, seen as brand, must project an image of itself to both internal and foreign audiences to unite the domestic audience and/or attract global support. However, in constructing a brand, states are vulnerable to ‘sofa warriors’ – ordinary individuals who have been unwittingly recruited by hostile actors to disseminate (over social media or other platforms) a counter-brand, harmful to the state concerned. These new threats are investigated in light of recent tendencies in online branding, elucidating their status as a national security threat, with the potential to significantly disrupt life in political communities.
The Role of Judicial Ethics in Court Administration: From Setting the Objectives to Practical Implementation
Authors: Šimonis Mindaugas 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
A court administration striving to guarantee the independence and professionalism of the court and judges requires attention to judicial ethics. Judicial ethics as a system of professional values and as an institutional instrument of judiciary is an integral part of court administration which is based on the principle of self-regulation. The importance of court administration requires a scientific approach to its elements. Therefore, this article begins by providing analysis of the main objectives of judicial ethics and a comparative study on the European practices establishing judicial ethics. It also provides a systematic list of the basic principles of the conduct of judges that are established in different international standards and legal systems of different European countries. By analysing documents of different international institutions and codes of ethics of European countries, the author identifies a systematic structure and the fundamental starting point of modern judicial ethics. The methods of descriptive comparative analysis and observation of recent developments are dominant in this study. Reacting to the scientific problems and current needs of legal communities with regard to the enforcement of judicial ethics, the article presents approaches that could lead to increased effectiveness of ethics in the judiciary, as well as to the development of methods of enforcement of judicial ethics. The purpose of this article is not just to disclose the main international standards and regulations on judicial ethics in Europe, but also to make it practically valuable for developers of judicial ethics, taking into consideration the fact that recently many countries have been trying to reform and improve ethical systems in the judiciary. Given the limited scope of this article, other important elements of court administration and developing a comparative study of the content of judicial ethics and the jurisprudence of its implementation will be presented in future publications.
Non-Territorial Spaces of Belarusian Political Nomadism
Authors: Rusinaitė Viktorija 
Published: November 2017

AbstractIn Belarus the state systematically hinders the development of civil society. NGOs have difficulties registering, functioning and sustaining their organisations. Some individuals related to the civil sector are persecuted, fined, imprisoned. Therefore a number of NGOs are registered abroad and civil society activists move with them to continue their work on Belarusian issues. In this article we aim to define people who left Belarus in order to work for Belarus as Belarusian Political Nomads, using the notion of transnational subjectivity to explore their migration strategies.The article is based on 15 semi-structured interviews held in London (UK) and Vilnius (LT). Interviews were analysed using the concepts oftransnational subjectivitiesandpolitical nomadism, and combining elements from a critical events narrative analysis approach.People who left Belarus to work for Belarus are Belarusian Political Nomads, because they create new democratic development visions for Belarus. Their individual political motivation can stem from the critical events that were registered in this research as turning points. Informants, individual conditions, histories and life experiences influence the outcomes of these events in terms of interpretation and induced motivation to engage in civil society activities.Belarusian Political Nomads form their migration strategies on the basis of their transnational subjectivities, which can be characterised by temporal and symbolic relations to the receiving country, and long-term intensive dissociative relations to the sending countries’ political regime, as well as a strong relationship to the new visions of Belarus.

Objective
The aim of this observational study was to clarify the link between vitamin D status and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in people with visceral obesity.

Design and methods
One hundred ninety-six consecutive patients (152 women; mean age 51 ± 13 years) with visceral obesity (mean body weight 103 ± 20 kg, mean waist circumference (WC) 119 ± 13 cm) were enrolled at the Obesity Outpatient Clinic of the University of Insubria in Varese. Anthropometric measurements were recorded. Laboratory tests, including vitamin D (25(OH)D)), fasting blood glucose (FBG), lipid profile, liver and kidney function tests were assessed. Vitamin D status was defined according to the European Society of Endocrinology guidelines, MetS to the 2009 harmonized definition.

Results
An inverse association emerged among 25(OH)D, body mass index (BMI) (P = 0.001) and WC (all P = 0.003). Serum 25(OH)D levels were inversely related to FBG and systolic blood pressure (SBP) (respectively, P = 0.01 and 0.02). Median serum 25(OH)D levels were 13.3 ng/mL (CI 95% 12; 15) in MetS and 16 ng/mL (CI 95% 14; 18) (P = 0.01) in non-MetS patients. Among patients with MetS, lower 25(OH)D concentrations were related to higher risk of hypertension (HT) (odds ratio (OR) 1.7, CI 95%, 0.7;4) and hyperglycemia (IFG)/type 2 diabetes (OR 5.5, CI 95% 2; 14).

Conclusion
Vitamin D status and MetS are inversely correlated in visceral obesity, particularly with regard to glucose homeostasis and BP. More extensive studies are required to investigate the potential for causality.

Published: October 2017

The article looks at the problem of the development of Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University and the Europeanization of its education policy. The ways to improve the efficiency of research, through participation in international grant projects in particular, are in the focus of this paper. The fact that the papers by the University’s scientists are published in various SCOPUS indexed journals is evidence of the high quality and impact of their research outputs. It is an important factor in improving the University’s academic performance; it has allowed Precarpathian National University to rise to the level of the leading higher education institutions of Ukraine. The University has significantly increased its participation in various joint Ukrainian–European research projects; distinguished European scientists are invited to make presentations at the international conferences and symposiums held by the University. An ambitious project of reconstructing the astronomy observatory on Pip Ivan, a peak in the Carpathians, is being carried out in cooperation with the University of Warsaw. The Precarpathian National University has successfully implemented the double degree programme; now its students can receive the degree from Precarpathian National University and a European university. There has been developed a comprehensive programme of further Europeanization of the University’s policies

OBJECTIVES:
In 2013, the Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM) released 5 pediatric recommendations for the Choosing Wisely Campaign (CWC). Our goals were to develop a report card on the basis of those recommendations, calculate achievable benchmarks of care (ABCs), and analyze performance among hospitals participating in the Pediatric Health Information System.

METHODS:
Children hospitalized between January 2013 and September 2015 from 32 Pediatric Health Information System hospitals were studied. The quality metrics in the report card included the use of chest radiograph (CXR) in asthma and bronchiolitis, bronchodilators in bronchiolitis, systemic corticosteroids in lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI), and acid suppression therapy in gastroesophageal reflux (GER). ABCs were calculated for each metric.

RESULTS:
Calculated ABCs were 22.3% of patients with asthma and 19.8% of patients with bronchiolitis having a CXR, 17.9% of patients with bronchiolitis receiving bronchodilators, 5.5% of patients with LRTIs treated with systemic corticosteroids, and 32.2% of patients with GER treated with acid suppressors. We found variation among hospitals in the use of CXR in asthma (median: 34.7%, interquartile range [IQR]: 28.5%–45.9%), CXR in bronchiolitis (median: 34.4%, IQR: 27.9%–49%), bronchodilators in bronchiolitis (median: 55.4%, IQR: 32.3%–64.9%), and acid suppressors in GER (median: 59.4%, IQR: 49.9%–71.2%). Less variation was noted in the use of systemic corticosteroids in LRTIs (median: 13.5%, IQR: 11.1%–17.9%).

CONCLUSIONS:
A novel report card was developed on the basis of the SHM-CWC pediatric recommendations, including ABCs. We found variance in practices among institutions and gaps between hospital performances and ABCs. These findings represent a roadmap for improvement.
UNA TEORÍA SOCIO-MORFOLÓGICA DEL POPULISMO: EL CASO DEL URIBISMO, 2002-2010
Authors: Kajsiu Blendi 
Published: October 2017

Este artículo desarrolla una teoría del populismo que combina el análisis morfológico de las ideologías de Michael Freeden (1996) con el análisis sociológico del populismo como proyecto político desarrollado por Jansen (2011). A pesar de sus aportes ninguna de estas dos perspectivas es suficiente por sí sola para identificar el fenómeno populista en su totalidad. Por lo tanto, la combinación de estas dos perspectivas ofrece el mejor marco teórico para identificar el populismo como fenómeno político. Para mostrar las ventajas de una perspectiva sociomorfológica el artículo analiza el Uribismo (2002-2010) desde dicha perspectiva y muestra que no se trata de un proyecto populista ni en su discurso, ni en la movilización social que produjo.

Authors: Abarca Guerrero L. , Rudin Valverde V. , Maas Ger 
Published: October 2017

There is a large body of literature produced in developed countries on the potential adverse health effects of different waste management options but hardly studied in developing countries. On the contrary, the relations between economic issues and the impact of waste management systems on the environment have been studied by different scholars from developing countries. This paper aims to explain associations between some parameters that describe waste management systems at a city level and country parameters in relation to public health and environmental pollution in developing countries. This work reviews waste management systems from more than thirty urban areas in 22 developing countries in 4 continents It describes partly their waste management as answers to 122 questions that include information of public sources and general country characteristics. A combination of methods was used in order to assess the impact of waste management system on health and the environment. Collected data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistic methods in order to draw conclusions. The outcomes were unable to provide convincing evidence of an association of waste management and the impact on health. On the contrary, the results show that some of the waste management practices have a negative influence in the environment. The study didn’t consider epidemiological evidences concerning public health, economy and pollution of the studied cities due to nonexistence or unreliable reliable information. Instead, data on country performance indicators for public health (perinatal mortality, adult mortality, life expectancy at birth and healthy life expectancy, an economic indicator (Gross Domestic Product/capita) and environmental indicators (ecological footprint / capita and CO2-emission/capita were used. In addition, some other country characterization parameters were chosen (persons/km2, % urban population).

El Estatuto de Bayona. La primera carta liberal de América Latina*
Authors: Amaya León Wilman 
Published: October 2017

Al adelantar proyectos de investigación sobre el origen del derecho constitucional en América latina, encontramos información documental que nos permite conocer sus orientaciones filosóficas; e n esta oportunidad el análisis se centró en el Estatuto de Bayona, primera Constitución formal de España, pero no reconocida por los españoles quienes la consideran con toda razón como una carta otorgada, no nacida de la voluntad soberana.
Sin embargo, para los Neogranadinos, si pudo tener un significado especial, desde el punto de vista filosófico; en el presente trabajo abordaremos el tema para identificar cual fue realmente el impacto que tuvo el Estatuto de Bayona en las colonias americanas y si realmente fue como lo señaló Francisco Antonio Zea, “La primera carta liberal de América latina”
Sindicalismo docente, protesta y participación político electoral
Authors: Bocanegra Acosta Henry , Chambers-Ju Christopher 
Published: November 2017

Este artículo es producto de una investigación realizada desde un enfoque socio jurídico e interdisciplinario. Se analiza la participación político electoral del sindicalismo docente colombiano, sus orígenes, formas, contrariedades y posibilidades en el marco de un contexto desfavorable a posturas políticas de extrema izquierda de estirpe abstencionistas, a la crisis de los discursos que justificaban la combinación de todas las formas de lucha y el uso de la violencia en la disputa política. El problema de investigación que orientó las respectivas indagaciones y el proceso de síntesis teórica, se resume en un interrogante: ¿Qué situaciones, aspectos o realidades permitieron un cambio en la actuación en materia de participación política y electoral de la organización sindical docente colombiana? El estudio estuvo fundamentado en fuentes primarias y secundarias; siendo la entrevista semiestructurada y el análisis documental y de texto las técnicas desde las cuales se recopilo la información necesaria. El trabajo permitió llegar a una conclusión: el sindicalismo docente colombiano se ha convertido en un actor social y gremial con incidencia en el proceso político electoral local, regional y nacional. La superación de posturas abstencionistas y ultra radicales en el plano interno, una percepción más optimista sobre las posibilidades del sistema político, una reinterpretación pragmática sobre el sentido y carácter que debe asumir la propia lucha gremial sindical, contribuyeron al viraje táctico donde la participación político electoral compagina con las luchas reivindicativas por los derechos laborales a la usanza tradicional.
Arbitraje jurídico deportivo
Authors: Ortega Sánchez Rodrigo 
Published: November 2017

El presente artículo refiere a la temática del arbitraje y con ello al Arbitraje Jurídico Deportivo, una rama del arbitraje “sui generis” que, poco a poco, comienza a hacer su camino. En primer lugar, se muestran las ventajas del proceso arbitral en favor de los deportistas buscando caracterizar el objeto de estudio del procedimiento arbitral y descomponiendo el mismo en sus mínimas elementos. Posteriormente, se describe la jurisdicción arbitrales deportivos. Finalmente el artículo muestra la influencia que ha tenido algunas asociaciones o gremios especializados en la resolución de conflictos deportivos En el artículo se afirma que, como consecuencia del poco desarrollo regional en materia y de la dinámica deportiva cambiante en el plano internacional, los conflictos jurídicos-deportivos que se generan al interior del derecho del deporte se surten en un alto porcentaje bajo la égida del Tribunal Arbitral du Sport [Tribunal de Arbitraje Deportivo, en adelante TAS], más específicamente, como consecuencia de la inexistencia –hasta el momento– de organismos o instituciones independientes que lleven adelante la tarea en el ámbito internacional y, particularmente, en el ámbito latinoamericano. Situación ésta que se lee como el escenario propicio para el surgimiento de instituciones proveedoras de mecanismos alternativos de resolución del conflicto jurídicos-deportivos en todo el continente Latinoamericano.

A study on the influence of ergonomics on the prevalence of chronic pain disorders among dentists
Authors: Kalappa Sandhya , Shankar Raghavendra 
Published: November 2017

Background: Dentists are prone for chronic pain especially neck and back pain owing to the following risk factors as a part of their practice-repetitive movements, maintenance of awkward body postures for a long time and tasks that require fine motor skills and close visual focus. The term - Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs), which result from poor ergonomics, refers to conditions that involve the nerves, tendons, muscles and supporting structures of the body.Methods: 248 dentists in Bangalore were asked to respond to a questionnaire about their practice pattern (years of practice, hours of work, specialization, two-handed/four handed dentistry, use of magnifications etc), their general lifestyle including exercise, fitness patterns, prevalence of MSDs and their general awareness regarding MSDs. The responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, univariate analysis and Chi-square tests.Results: In our study 95.16% (n=236) and 90.32% (n=224) respondents reported MSDs in the past and in the previous 12 months of the study respectively. 54.84% (n=136) reported at least one episode of backache, 51.61% (n=128) reported neck pain, 19.35% (n=48) reported pain in the shoulder and 32.25% (n=80) reported pain in the wrist and/or hand in the previous 12 months. Our study found considerable influence of the hours of work, use of assistant and magnification on Backache, Neck pain and wrist/hand pain.Conclusions: Work-related pain being common and multifactorial, any possible solution should also be multifactorial and can be managed effectively using a multifaceted approach and the strategies for prevention and care are also discussed.
