Nosocomial infection control committee's role in a nosocomial infection at an East Algiers hospital

Nosocomial infections remain a serious public health problem with serious consequences. Hospital hygiene surveys are a basic tool in the surveillance and control of nosocomial infections. These surveys are also a tool for raising the awareness and information of the nursing staff. The nosocomial infection control committee was asked to carry out an epidemiological survey within a general surgery department following a nosocomial infection outbreak. During this survey, 100 samples taken from surfaces, small equipment and medical devices were collected. The results showed that 80 samples (80%) were positive. The most isolated bacteria were: 27,50% Micrococcus spp., 27,50% Corynebacterium spp.,25% Staphylococcus spp., 21,25% Bacillus spp., 20% Enterococcus spp., 10% Enterobacter cloacae, 5% Klebsiella pneumoniae and 3,75% Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Following this investigation, corrective and preventive measures were taken for the biocleaning of surfaces and the disinfection and sterilization of equipments. The nosocomial infection control committee plays a key role in the epidemiological surveillance and control of nosocomial infections, prevention can only be conceived as a global and multidisciplinary action.

Cybersecurity Breaches and the Role of Information Technology Governance in Audit Committee Charters

ABSTRACTCybersecurity is a serious and growing risk for organizations. Firms with board of director involvement in information technology governance (ITG) may be better equipped to deal with this risk. Yet little is known about the audit committee's role in ITG. This study uses efficiency and institutional theories to investigate the influence of security breaches and board-level technology committees on disclosing ITG roles in the audit committee charter. We develop hypotheses and test them using a sample of 189 firms. Results show that firms with a technology committee and a data breach are more likely to disclose ITG roles in the audit committee charter. This suggests that firms experiencing a data breach realize their vulnerability and, by already having oversight at the board level, it is more natural for them to increase oversight by assigning ITG roles to the audit committee. We provide implications and areas for future research.

The Role of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) in Post Conflict Situations in Nigeria

The main thrust of this paper is to examine the role of the National Human Rights Commission in post conflict situations in Nigeria. Given the series of conflicts and security challenges across the country, there is no doubt that with conflict underway, serious human rights violations will be recorded. And for there to be meaningful restoration of peace, issues of human rights must be addressed. Thus, the National Human Rights Commission established by the government in 1995 has the mandate of handling issues of human rights in areas where conflict has been experienced. However, it is pertinent to note that the mandates of the NHRC in post conflict situations differ from during times of peace as well as the challenges the face. Data from both primary and secondary sources reveal that the role of the Commission’s in post conflict situations includes investigation of post conflict complaints, encouraging human-rights negotiations with conflict parties; obtaining justice and reparation for victims, monitoring and evaluating governments’ post conflict policies inter alia. Though challenged by inadequate funding, lack of unskilled staff, lack of autonomy, the paper emphasizes that the NRHC is well-positioned to do significant and important work in post conflict situations.Key words: NHRC, Human Rights, Conflict, Post Conflict Situation, Nigeria

The Role of Commissioners in Health Service Provision: Lessons Learned from Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) England

It is the government’s responsibility to reach policy outcomes. Since the needs of citizen vary, the government needs to improve the way it delivers public services. Monopolistic provision of public service by government becomes inadequate to fulfill the needs of the community. One of the ways pursued by the government is working with the third sector, through procurement and commissioning. National Health Services (NHS) in the UK is one of the examples of commissioning in the healthcare service. The role of commissioning has been done by Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) from 2002 until 2014. Since commissioning became the center of public health provision, the role of commissioners has become pivotal. Using systematic review, this study aims to examine the role of commissioners in health service provision in England. It can be concluded that commissioners (PCT) play an essential role in identifying the needs of the community. This early stage of planning relied on the knowledge, skills, and capacity of commissioners. Unfortunately, not every commissioner has the capability to perform the commissioning process. Therefore, a partnership with other stakeholders is critical to overcoming the limitations of resources, including the capacity, time, and funding. The other findings suggest that national policy by the central government has contributed to the success of commissioning. Results revealed that national targets often prevented commissioners from reaching the local targets, especially when resources were insufficient.

Ignoring the elephant in the room? Assessing the impact of the European Union on the Development Assistance Committee's role in international development

AbstractThis article studies the impact of the European Union (EU) on the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD). While the literature thus far has focused on the external challenges for the DAC's role in international development, this study argues that the EU should be taken into account as well. By focusing on the cases of policy coherence for development and the concessionality of official development assistance (ODA) loans, we show that the EU poses a structural challenge for the DAC's role in international development given the strong overlap in membership between both institutions and the Union's changing nature as a development actor.

Between discretion and control: Reflections on the institutional position of the Commission within the European citizens' initiative process

AbstractThis article considers the institutional position of the Commission within the European citizens' initiative (ECI) process, with particular emphasis on its decision regarding the admissibility/registration of a proposed ECI, and its final decision on the outcome of an ECI which has met the necessary levels of support. The purpose of this contribution is to juxtapose the case‐law of the Court on the Commission's discretion and the relevant provisions of the Treaties with the evolution of European integration and, more specifically, the evolution of the Commission's role therein. Viewed under this prism, the Commission's powers at the registration stage (which in any event clearly fall under the scope of judicial review) are compatible with the constitutionalisation of the Union, whereas the Commission's width of discretion at the follow‐up stage, while compatible with the Commission's prerogatives, cannot easily be reconciled, nonetheless, with the Commission's limited legitimacy when compared to that of the co‐legislators, the fact that it may not always represent the Union interest, and the latter's pragmatic losses within the EU institutional balance.

The Mediation Committee of the Bundestag and Bundesrat: A Special Institution of German Constitutional Law

AbstractThe Mediation Committee of the Bundestag and Bundesrat – is it “one of the most felicitous innovations in our constitutional activities”, “the most positive institution in the entire Basic Law” or, as some critics assert “a substitute and superordinate parliament” or indeed the “mysterious darkroom of the legislative process”? This article seeks to provide answers to these questions. It is however clear that the Mediation Committee has become an important instrument for attaining political compromises in Germany's legislative procedure. The Committee's purpose is to find a balance between the differing opinions of the Bundestag and Bundesrat concerning the content of legislation, and, through political mediation and mutual concessions, to find solutions that are acceptable to both sides. Thanks to this approach, the Mediation Committee has helped save countless important pieces of legislation from failure since it was established over 65 years ago, thus making a vital contribution to ensure the legislative process works efficiently. The lecture will address the Mediation Committee's status and role within the German legislative process. It will explain the composition of this body as well as its most important procedural principles also against the backdrop of current case law from the Federal Constitutional Court. Finally, the lecture will consider how particular constellations of political power impact on the Mediation Committee's work.

The Institutionalization of Supreme Court Confirmation Hearings

This article uses an original database of confirmation hearing dialogue to examine how the Senate Judiciary Committee's role in Supreme Court confirmations has changed over time, with particular attention paid to the 1939–2010 era. During this period, several notable developments took place, including a rise in the number of hearing comments, increased attention to nominees’ views of judicial decisions, an expansion of the scope of issues addressed, and the equalization of questioning between majority and minority party senators. We demonstrate that these changes were shaped by both endogenous and exogenous factors to promote the legitimization of the Judiciary Committee's role in the confirmation process and to foster the instrumental goals of senators. This research contributes to our understanding of the development of political institutions, interbranch interactions, and how institutional change affects the behavior of legal and political actors.

Friend Not Foe: The Role of Curriculum Committee in Supporting the Development of Curriculum at Royal Roads University

Curriculum Committee at Royal Roads University (RRU) is mandated with ensuring that program and course curricula are of sufficient high academic integrity, consistent with other academic institutions, delivered in a manner consistent with program outcomes, and align with the recently adopted Learning and Teaching Model. Yet, the apparent simplicity of the committee's role is overshadowed by much confusion about what the committee does, how and why it does what it is intended to do and whether it is effective in fulfilling its mandate. This paper explores the role of Curriculum Committee at RRU regarding the tensions that the committee encounters fulfilling its role. It begins with an historical review of Curriculum Committee, which is followed by a look at some of the factors that influence decision-making during committee meetings. Next, it examines the tensions posed by trying to strike a balance between form, function and the context of curriculum proposals. The paper concludes with an observation that Curriculum Committee continues to evolve as it incorporates the lessons learned from ongoing self-reflection and feedback from faculty members and the broader university.

Entangled interpretations and a transnational art exhibition:The case of (…) Ketsin! Art from the Kyrgyz Republic (Shoreditch, May 2013)

Through the case study of a visual arts exhibition on the Kyrgyz Revolution, (...) Ketsin! (May 2013), this article traces the complex set of factors that influence how a transnational exhibition is interpreted. Combining literatures on visual representation, the role of intentionality in authorship, and, museum and gallery studies, I propose here the notion of ‘entangled interpretations’ to convey the overlapping and muddled layers rather than discrete parts that together constitute interpretation. These layers comprise: the artworks; other works in the same genre and other works by the same artists; the exhibition design and display; the architecture of the venue; the artists’ intentions; the roles of commissioner, sponsor and curator; and, the split audience: original and intended.

European defence-industrial cooperation: from Keynes to Clausewitz

The European Union is still far from having a consolidated defence market but the European Defence Technological and Industrial Base (EDTIB) has emerged as a policy framework through which to liberalize and regulate defence markets, protect and sustain jobs and to improve the interoperability of Europe's armed forces; all at the EU level. This article argues that a purely economic rationale for defence-industrial cooperation is being reformulated to include also questions of strategic relevance. Indeed, by charting the transition from a past policy framework called the European Defence Equipment Market (EDEM) to the EDTIB, the article examines the European Commission's role as a key driver in this policy evolution. This article shows how the European Commission is using dual-use technologies to increase its policy relevance in the defence-industrial policy milieu, but it also reaffirms the enduring role of the member states and the importance of national interests.
