Improving Primary Health Care Data With ICPC-3: From a Medical to a Person-Centered Perspective.

The World Organization of Family Doctors (WONCA) developed the third edition of the International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC-3) to support the shift from a medical perspective to a person-centered perspective in primary health care. The previous editions (ICPC-1 and ICPC-2) allowed description of 3 important elements of health care encounters: the reason for the encounter, the diagnosis and/or health problem, and the process of care. The ICPC-3 adds function-related information as a fourth element, thereby capturing most parts of the encounter in a single practical and concise classification. ICPC-3 thus has the potential to give more insight on patients' activities and functioning, supporting physicians in shifting from a strict medical/disease-based approach to care to a more person-centered approach. The ICPC-3 is also expanded with a new chapter for visits pertaining to immunizations and for coding of special screening examinations and public health promotion; in addition, it contains classes for programs related to reported conditions (eg, a cardiovascular program, a heart failure program) and can accommodate relevant national or regional classes. Classes are selected based on what is truly and frequently occurring in daily practice. Each class has its own codes. Less frequently used concepts pertaining to morbidity are captured as inclusions within the main classes. Implementation of the ICPC-3 in an electronic health record allows provision of meaningful feedback to primary care, and supports the exchange of information within teams and between primary and secondary care. It also gives policy makers and funders insight into what is happening in primary care and thus has the potential to improve provision of care.

Personality disorders are dead; long live the interpersonal disorders: Comment on Widiger and Hines (2022).

Widiger and Hines raise a number of significant concerns with the alternative model of personality disorders (AMPD). This places the major class of psychiatric difficulties represented by the personality disorders in a precarious position because the model used in previous editions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and currently reprinted in Section II is moribund if not dead, and with the AMPD's significant problems, their future is unclear. Although we agree that Widiger and Hines' criticisms have merit, they are not the whole picture. We review additional relevant research that supports the contention that what differentiates personality disorders from other psychopathology is the self and interpersonal dysfunction, as Criterion A of the AMPD currently states. We emphasize the importance of drawing a distinction between the conceptual model and its operationalization. We argue that paradoxically, to save personality disorders, we need to do away with them and replace them with the "interpersonal disorders." There is strong theory, empirical research, and ethical arguments in favor of this conceptual reframing. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).

José Manuel Hernández Carracedo. La caracterización de Jesús en las notas del narrador del evangelio de Juan: Una guía de lectura para el relato

This is a slightly revised version of Hernández Carracedo’s doctoral dissertation written under the supervision of Santiago Guijarro Oporto and defended at Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca, Spain. It focuses on the characterization of Jesus in the narrator’s notes in the Gospel of John. Using insights from modern linguistics, especially teoría de la polifonía del discurso (speech polyphony theory) and teoría de la enunciación (theory of written statements), Hernández Carracedo explores how Jesus’s being, relationships, and actions contribute to his identidad narrativa (narrative identity). After a brief history of research, the author selects the texts that will be the object of his study and explores the presentation of Jesus in the five main sections of the Gospel.His findings are noteworthy. First, the parentheses were intended to clarify the identity of Jesus, because in the first century this issue was the object of contradictory interpretations. Second, the narrator’s notes do not function independently of each other; they are all literarily related. Third, the parentheses have structural value: they signal major divisions in the text. Fourth, the evangelist has used notes to advance his larger purpose of presenting Jesus as the New Temple and as the one who reveals God’s glory to the world.The book is a clear contribution to scholarship about the Gospel of John, a model of close engagement with the text, and a fruitful basis for further studies interested in the theological, literary, and historical dimensions of this Gospel. Furthermore, the book includes interaction with a number of secondary sources originally written in Spanish that are virtually absent in traditional scholarship.Due to space constraints, Hernández Carracedo did not include a defense of some of the critical options that he has adopted. For example, he seems to share the view that the Gospel of John was subjected to different redactions by different authors and the narrator’s notes are evidence of a specific (and perhaps late) hermeneutical engagement with previous editions of the text. He also indicates that some specific sections in the Gospel are later interpolations (e.g., p. 316). The clear grammatical and theological links he has found between the parenthesis and larger themes in the Gospel might well point to a different conclusion, that the author behind the notes might not be different from the hand responsible for larger sections of the text.Similarly, it is not always clear how Hernández Carracedo moves from literary observations to conclusions about the putative early Johannine community. For example, he explains that the Johannine community engaged in controversy with other Jewish and Christian circles in the first century. Since the idea that a discrete group of Christians in the first century is behind the Gospel of John has been recently questioned by several scholars, the reader expects further defense of the traditional perspective and a clear explanation of how his literary and theological observations can help us answer historical questions.One of the ideas that Hernández Carracedo could have developed further has to do with the role of the narrator’s notes in highlighting Jesus’s move and engagement with marginalized areas in Israel. Given that this is a novel idea that is hardly ever found in so-called standard Johannine scholarship, the reader would benefit from a full explanation of how and why John uses the parenthesis to advance this theme.One of the findings of the book has to do with the use of the narrator’s notes to advance the portrayal of Jesus as the New Temple. Hernández Carracedo concludes: “This Christology implies a critique . . . of the traditional formal worship [in Jerusalem]. Now, the presence of God is found independently from a specific place” (p. 281). However, if the Gospel of John was written approximately two decades after the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem, it is safe to conclude that he was not criticizing a practice that was no longer taking place during his time. If his temple Christology had specific contextual relevance, one can imagine that he was responding to the traumatic experience of living under Roman occupation at the end of the first century. The references to the Romans and Caesar in 11:48 and 19:15 might point to this larger imperial context.My hope is that this book will become further motivation for scholars working in the so-called developed world to engage Spanish-speaking scholarship. Traditionally, scholarship has been a one-way dialogue, where scholars who publish in Spanish engage German, French, and English scholarship. However, Hernández Carracedo’s book further demonstrates the need of more global and multilingual scholarly discourses.

Was Adam a real historical person? Among the Church Fathers, Origen thought it likely that Adam was a figural character. Moreover, no creed or church council has ever decreed that belief in a historical Adam is necessary for salvation. And for most people today, the theory of human evolution carries more weight than the account of human origins found in the first three chapters of Genesis. On the other hand, why would Paul speak in 1 Corinthians 15 of our radical need for salvation, if there had never been a "fall" that took place in some particular moment of history? And Jesus assumes the truth of the Genesis account when he says, "God created them male and female" (Matt 19:4-6). So that brings us back to the question with a renewed sense of urgency: Was Adam a real historical person? If so, who was he and when did he live? C. sets out to answer these questions through a biblical and scientific investigation. He begins with an inquiry into the genre of Genesis 1–11, determining that it can most plausibly be classified as mytho-history—a narrative with both literary and historical content. He then moves into the NT, where he examines references to Adam in the words of Jesus and the writings of Paul, ultimately concluding that the entire Bible considers Adam the historical progenitor of the human race—a position that must therefore be accepted as a premise for Christians who take seriously the inspired truth of Scripture. On this basis, C. embarks on an interdisciplinary survey of scientific evidence to determine where Adam might be most plausibly located in the evolutionary history of humankind, ultimately determining that Adam lived between 750,000 and 1,000,000 years ago as a member of the archaic human species Homo heidelbergensis. He concludes by reflecting theologically on his findings and asking what all this might mean for us as human beings created in the image of God, literally descended from a common ancestor—albeit one who lived in the remote past. Closely related arguments to those made by C. here can be found in The Lost World of Adam and Eve: Genesis 2–3 and the Human Origins Debate (2015) by John H.

Scientific performance of ophthalmological research institutions in Germany 2018-2020 : Studies, publications, third-party funding and more-The research map of the German Ophthalmological Society (DOG)

The German Ophthalmological Society (DOG) regularly records the scientific activities of ophthalmological research institutions in Germany. With this publication the DOG wants to make the performance of scientific ophthalmology in Germany transparent and increase the options for future research cooperation with facilities of research institutions. Systematic survey of German research centers in ophthalmology. The current research map records the data from 41German research centers for the reporting period 2018-2020. Compared to previous editions of the research map, there has been asignificant increase in scientific activity. The number of studies reported rose to 496. The number of government funded research projects (n = 121) and projects funded by foundations (n = 108) also increased. Furthermore, the number of scientific publications has almost doubled: while 1919 were published in the period from 2012 to 2014 and 2305 in the period from 2015 to 2017, there were 4215 in the current reporting period. The map also reports on acontinuous increase in the number of young scientists in ophthalmology. The research map demonstrates the performance of German scientific ophthalmology. At the same time, the need for research in ophthalmology remains high because many diseases that affect the eyes are not yet or not yet completely curable.

Biblia Hebraica Quinta Kontekst i znaczenie nowego wydania krytycznego

Starting from the considerations on the complex notions of the original text, the article speaks of some antecedents of the textual criticism practiced in antiquity. The quest for the original text of the Old Testament began more than two thousand years ago. A summary of the previous critical editions of the Hebrew Bible places the ongoing project of the Biblia Hebraica Quinta (BHQ) in its historical and methodological context. The experience of the author in his work on 2 Kgs illustrates the importance of BHQ for historians and Biblical scholars, as well as its possible consequences for hermeneutics and theology.

A reliability study of API 530 for predicting creep life of long-service exposed 9Cr-1Mo steel tubes

ABSTRACT API 530, entitled Calculation of Heater Tube Thickness in Petroleum Refineries; is an API standard used for the design of fired heater tubes, as well as the remaining life assessment of service-exposed heater tubes in the refining and petrochemical industry, which its seventh edition released in 2015 as the latest one. Stress- rupture master curves in the standard are the principle tools to achieve goals that were changed in the latest version compared to previous editions (5th and 6th Ed.). This study investigates how tube service exposure time could affect creep life prediction and which version of the standard could match the results more closely. Stress- rupture tests were conducted at 600 to 650 °C and stress levels ranging from 37.5 to 117.5 MPa to examine the creep behaviour of three tubes made of 9Cr-1Mo steel after service for 75,000, 150,000, and 250,000 hours, respectively. Testing varied from a short-term, under 50 hours, to a long-term, over 10,000 hours to evaluate their reliability for future service according to API 530. According to this study, the ability to accurately predict the remaining life of tubes depends on their service life. Also, the seventh edition was more consistent with results in general.

End of an Era: The Passing of Two Science-Editing Pioneers

This past autumn, 2 longtime leaders in science editing died, each in their late nineties. Each had played prominent roles in what is now the Council of Science Editors (CSE), serving in the post now termed president and receiving what is now called the CSE Award for Meritorious Achievement. Each had witnessed and contributed to the developments in science editing in the second half of the 20th century. Each also had mentored and educated editors and authors, both personally and through their writings. The current article pays tribute to these 2 editors: Edward J Huth and Robert A Day. Edward J Huth (1923–2021) Edward J Huth was chairman of CSE’s predecessor, the Council of Biology Editors (CBE), in 1973–1974. He received the CBE Meritorious Award in 1987. His acceptance address1 included a call for “a single society for editors of all sciences”—a vision fulfilled in 2000, when CBE became CSE. In keeping with this vision, Huth chaired the CBE style manual committee when it produced the edition that was the first to be titled Scientific Style and Format.2 Whereas previous editions had focused on the biological sciences, this much-expanded edition, published in 1994, encompassed the physical sciences as well. Huth also provided leadership as a founding member of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, which developed the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Medical Journals.3 On a lighter note, Huth coined the term salami science,4 used to designate reporting different parts of a single study in separate papers to […]

A Female Doctor (Medica) at Augusta Emerita (Mérida)? Re-examining CIL II 497 from Humanist Readings to the Latest Digital Epigraphy Techniques

This paper provides a critical re-examination of a funerary altar (CIL II 497) from Augusta Emerita (Mérida, Spain). It explores the strengths and weaknesses of all previous editions of the text from its first publication in 1633 to the present day, providing a critical review of the development of epigraphic scholarship on Mérida during this long period. Given the problems of all previous editions, including CIL II 497, it then re-examines the altar using traditional epigraphic methods alongside the latest digital techniques (especially Morphological Residual Modelling, M.R.M.) to provide a new edition of the text, while setting the presence of a female doctor at the provincial capital of Lusitania into the broader social context of medical practitioners in Rome’s western provinces.

Kai Ambos (ed.), Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, Article-by-Article Commentary

When the new edition of the ‘Triffterer-Ambos Commentary’, henceforth called ‘Ambos Commentary’, landed on my desk, the first thing that struck me was its sheer volume. The Commentary now counts over 3000 pages, which is almost 1800 pages more than the first edition (1999). To judge from the extensive bibliographies preceding each entry, there has been a real explosion in scholarly writings about international criminal law. Gone are the days when authors like Georg Schwarzenberger were sceptical about the very existence of the discipline.1The Article by Article commentary follows the pattern of the previous editions: each

Highways and railways in the updated Transport Strategy of the Russian Federation

It provides a brief overview and analysis of the updated Transport Strategy of the Russian Federation until 2030 and for the period until 2035 with regard to roads and railways. The results of the development of these types of transport in accordance with the previous editions of the Strategy as of 2019-2020 are refl ected. It is noted that some targets of the previous version of the Strategy for railways and roads were exceeded. The problems and trends of transport development in our country and abroad at the present stage are described. The general directions of road and railway development are formulated. Special attention is paid to the innovation of Strategy-2035 — the Unifi ed Reference Transport Network and reference transport networks on the types of transport in question. The problems of the existing backbone networks of road and railway transport and the ways to solve them are described. First of all it concerns congestion of a number of directions and sections, as well as overdue repairs. The main objects of the Strategy in the transport and geographical aspect are given. Investments and technological risks are described in general. Being a fundamental document in its implications, the Transport Strategy of the Russian Federation 2021 will undoubtedly serve as a basis for the development and adoption of concretizing documents of a regional and sectoral nature, including in relation to the development of road and rail transport. Some new concepts introduced in the Strategy are given in the annex.

Survival Radiology: How a popular in-person interactive medical student radiology workshop pivoted online during the COVID-19 pandemic

BackgroundSurvival Radiology (SR) is a flagship annual full-day in-person radiology workshop targeted at final year medical students in Singapore to prepare them for internship. Previous in-person editions have consistently received positive reviews from 2014 to 2019. However, the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a rapid online pivot for its sixth edition in 2020.ObjectivesThis study aims to (a) identify key success factors of a traditional in-person medical student radiology workshop, (b) describe the rapid online pivot in 2020 and (c) to identify key success factors for online educational initiatives.MethodsPost-workshop survey responses of SR from 2014 to 2020 were evaluated. Likert-scale data were quantitatively analysed, while free-text responses were qualitatively analysed.ResultsA total of 1248 post-workshop surveys (2014–2020 workshops) and 266 free-text responses (2020 workshop) were received from 2640 participants over the years. Progressive changes that sustained or improved participant feedback for in-person SR workshops included adoption of a case-based approach, utility of ‘live’ audience response systems and incorporation of quizzes with a favourable overall feedback rating of 4.42–4.89 from 2014 to 2019. The webinar version of SR in 2020 became the best-rated edition since inception with a rating of 4.9. Qualitative analysis of feedback from SR 2020 showed that the participants preferred the webinar model, online modes of engagement and interactivity.ConclusionOur experience shows that it is not only possible to successfully pivot online for such workshops, but that blended educational formats utilising online engagements supplemented by in-person activities will be well-received by ‘Generation Z’ learners even after the COVID-19 pandemic.

The document is a compendium of the optimal ways of working or principles that have been collated by the community to guide repository establishment, management, and operation. Acknowledging that practices frequently evolve with time and circumstances, the document is regularly revised to incorporate advances in biospecimen science research and biobanking technologies. The project to undertake the development of the next edition is underway and will continue throughout 2022.Each new ISBER Best Practices edition builds on the foundation of previous editions and revitalizes the document through value submitted by the community. The development of the fifth edition of the ISBER Best Practices is led by the Editor-in-Chief Emma Snapes and her team of associated editors who form the ISBER Best Practices Editorial Board. The work of the editorial board will be supervised by the Best Practices Steering Group, which reports to the ISBER Board of Directors.In advance of the next edition development, the ISBER Standards Committee convened a task force to perform a gap analysis of the fourth edition of the ISBER Best Practices. Collecting feedback from the document's global users can help determine where opportunity might exist for improvement of the document. A variety of channels have been used to facilitate feedback from the community, including a global survey, roundtable discussions at an ISBER regional meeting, and focus group discussions.The results of the gap analysis task force efforts will be compiled as a community feedback report. This report will inform the editorial board to help map the scope of work for the next edition. The editorial board is responsible for a developing and editing of the document, along with the assistance of content contributors. Each phase of writing and editing will be subject to review, including external review.Identification of Best Practice CriteriaA primary aspect to the development of the next edition is an evaluation to determine what constitutes best practices. Inclusion of a new or altered practice will more easily be justified by assessing the ability of the practice to fulfil criteria. Such criteria might include establishing an evidence foundation and rating the strength of recommendations. It will be advisable at minimum to have some measurement or evidence to support a practice is effective, and that it is at least as effective as other practices.This approach may be affected by the context of the measurement. Practices to be included need to have broad applicability relative to differing types of repository domains and geographical regions of operation. Candidates for best practice can be classified by their stage of maturation. Therefore, newly proposed practices that are considered insufficiently mature to be included in the next edition of the document may be considered for future versions.Best practices at their best simply reflect the best ways of doing things. Application of community developed best practices can help a multitude of users avoid continually reinventing the wheel and instead effectively address improvement. Best practice use may prompt new practices that can be then shared with the community at large, promoting innovation within the community. The ISBER Best Practices already act as a framework for many activities, such as effectiveness of reposition management and operation, education and onboarding, support for biobanking standards implementation, and separately for accreditation. It is hoped that the introduction of the process of engaging the voice of the user will refresh this new iteration of edition development for the ISBER Best Practices for Repositories.Readers are welcome to contact the Editor-in-Chief at bestpractices@isber.org with any feedback that will benefit this undertaking.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 20Issue 1Feb 2022 InformationCopyright 2022, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishersTo cite this article:Emma Snapes and Daniel Simeon-Dubach.ISBER Best Practices for Repositories, Moving Toward the Fifth Edition.Biopreservation and Biobanking.Feb 2022.107-108.http://doi.org/10.1089/bio.2022.29102.ejsPublished in Volume: 20 Issue 1: February 15, 2022PDF download

On the shortcomings of the definition of the concept of “land” in Federal Law No. 430-FZ

The article analyzes the concepts of “land plot” in the previous and new editions of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, in the Land Code of the Russian Federation and in the draft law on the new edition of the section of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation devoted to property law. The shortcomings of the existing legislative definitions are noted and the need to introduce into the concept of “land plot” an indication of its state cadastral registration, which turns this object into an individually defined thing – an object of civil circulation, is justified.

Собрание сочинений Владимира Нарбута: архивы, тексты, подходы

The last lifetime poetry collection of Vladimir Narbut was published in 1922. Started by the poet in the 1930s, work on the preparation of the book of selected poems Spiral was interrupted by his arrest and, subsequently, tragic death in Kolyma in 1938. Since then, separate editions of Narbut’s works have been published three times: in 1983 the poet Leonid Chertkov compiled a collection Vladimir Narbut. Selected Poems in France; in 1990 N. Panchenko and N. Byalosinskaya published the book Vladimir Narbut. Poems in the USSR; in 2018 the OGI publishing house published the book Vladimir Narbut. Collected Works. Poems, Translations, Prose. The third, latest in nearly a hundred years, reference to the works of one of the most distinctive poets of the era in the context of preparing a separate collection of his oeuvre actualized the issue of developing approaches to be guided by when compiling the forthcoming collection. The key element here seemed to be the comprehension of the experience of preparing the previous separate editions of 1983 and 1990, as well as the scientifically commented publications of Narbut’s works made by researchers in the literary periodicals of the late 20th - early 21st centuries. The closest correlation of the tragic ups and downs of Narbut’s life with the “geological upheaval” of the 1917 Revolution and the Civil War led to the ambiguous dependence of the posthumous fate of the poet’s creative heritage on the context of the era, diametrically opposed and mutually exclusive attitudes in the perception of key events in Russian and world history of the 20th century. The preparation of Narbut’s collected works was planned in the interconnection of two directions: (1) the continuation of work to eliminate the “blank spots” in the poet’s biography, and (2) the formation of the most complete collection of Narbut’s fiction for the first time supplemented, in addition to poetic texts, with prose and translations. In preparation for the publication of Narbut’s literary texts included in the collected works, the issue of using a real commentary as the main approach in preparing notes was updated, taking into account the biographical, historical, literary, folklore, mythological, and linguistic aspects. Directions were set by the thorough work that began in the 1983 edition, and especially in the 1990 edition. The bulk of research on Narbutov’s texts and biographical facts was carried out in the funds of the Odessa Literary Museum and the Odessa National Library named after A.M. Gorky (Odessa periodicals of the 1920s), in state and private archives and funds of Moscow, including the Manuscript Department, the main and newspaper funds of the Russian State Library, in the department of manuscripts of the Russian State Archive of Literature and Arts, in the archives of the Federal Security Service, the Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History, the State Archive of the Russian Federation.

Family expenditures on healthcare plans in Brazil and household budget commitment: an analysis of the Brazilian Household Budgets Survey (2017/2018)

According to studies using previous editions of the Household Budgets Survey (POF) in Brazil, paying for a healthcare plan increases the percentage of income spent on health and fails to reduce the probability of incurring excessive health expenditures. The study's objective was to describe relations between expenditures on healthcare plans, income, and age groups, highlighting the effect of having a plan on the probability of committing more than 40% of income on health-related expenditures. An analysis of the POF 2017/2018 determined the commitment of per capita household income for payers of plans by age group and type of plan and logistic regression for factors associated with committing more than 40% of income to health-related expenditures. In 12 months, 22.1 million Brazilians spent BRL 78.1 billion on private medical insurance. The share of income spent on individual plans increases consistently with age, from 4.5% of per capita household income (at < 19 years) to 10.6% of this income (at 79 years or older). The probability of committing more than 40% of income to health expenditures decreases with income, increases with age, and is higher for those paying for health plans. Spending on healthcare plans alone exceeds 40% of per capita household income for 5.6% of Brazilians 60 years or older who pay for individual plans and for 4% of those who pay for company plans. Persons in the oldest age groups and in the lowest income brackets show the highest likelihood of spending more than 40% of their income on healthcare. A revision of the plans' adjustment by age is an alternative for attempting to mitigate this problem.

TEXTS RELATING TO THE DEATH OF MATILDA DE BAILLEUL, ABBESS OF WHERWELL: ST. PETERSBURG, NATIONAL LIBRARY OF RUSSIA, MS LAT.Q.V.I.62, FOL. 12V

This article offers the first full edition, translation, and commentary for three Latin texts relating to the death of Matilda de Bailleul (d. 1212), a Flemish abbess of Wherwell, a Benedictine abbey in Hampshire, England. Wherwell was relatively prosperous throughout its history and was probably founded in the tenth century by Queen Ælfthryth, wife of King Edgar. All three texts appear on the final verso (fol. 12v) of St. Petersburg, National Library of Russia, MS Lat.Q.v.I.62. The manuscript comprises two quires: the first contains a liturgical calendar; the second contains computistic and musical material, followed by the texts relating to Matilda's death. The calendar was made at St. Albans in the middle of the twelfth century and had reached Wherwell by 1189 or soon afterwards. The second quire could have been added at either St. Albans or Wherwell. The first two texts are short poems which commemorate Matilda in elegiac couplets. The third text is a letter of consolation on the death of Matilda, from Guy, prior of Southwick, to Euphemia de Walliers (or Wallers), prioress of Wherwell, who was Matilda's niece and successor as abbess of Wherwell. For the first time, evidence is identified which indicates that the two poems were written by different authors. Errors in previous editions of the poems and letter are corrected. Explanations are offered for numerous passages that are difficult to interpret, many of which have hitherto received no comment. Parallels are frequently cited for passages in Guy of Southwick's letter, thereby showing his influences and the extent to which his letter stitches together and reworks quotations from both the Bible and other sources.
