Sustainability Reporting in Latvia: Management Views
2017
Sustainability reporting in Latvia is a comparatively recent development. In spite of a growing number of companies undertaking different social responsibility activities, only few of them report this. Mostly, companies choose to communicate their sustainability activities through their web page. Mainly large companies with considerable environmental and social impact and listed joint-stock companies, which are required to do so by stock exchange regulation, undertake efforts to communicate their responsibility activities.
Reproducible research practices, openness and transparency in health economic evaluations: study protocol for a cross-sectional comparative analysis
2020
INTRODUCTION: There has been a growing awareness of the need for rigorously and transparent reported health research, to ensure the reproducibility of studies by future researchers. Health economic evaluations, the comparative analysis of alternative interventions in terms of their costs and consequences, have been promoted as an important tool to inform decision-making. The objective of this study will be to investigate the extent to which articles of economic evaluations of healthcare interventions indexed in MEDLINE incorporate research practices that promote transparency, openness and reproducibility. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This is the study protocol for a cross-sectional comparative ana…
Inventando el crimen pasional: del lenguaje de gacetilla a la prensa de sucesos (España, 1892-1920)
2021
El terme «crim passional» va sorgir a la premsa espanyola el 1892. L’objectiu d’aquest treball és desvelar el perquè i entendre’n la relació amb la premsa sensacionalista i, en especial, amb la premsa especialitzada en successos. La nostra metodologia considera que la premsa és un motor cultural en la construcció de conceptes amb incidència social. Així, doncs, explorem la presència del terme «crim passional» en un bon nombre de diaris i setmanaris per observar com es va construir un marc mental de naturalesa emocional. Es revela la incidència del concepte en l’opinió pública i en el llenguatge jurídic, així com la seva rellevància en la justificació de la violència contra les dones.
Biases in study design, implementation, and data analysis that distort the appraisal of clinical benefit and ESMO-Magnitude of Clinical Benefit Scale…
2021
BACKGROUND: The European Society for Medical Oncology-Magnitude of Clinical Benefit Scale (ESMO-MCBS) is a validated, widely used tool developed to score the clinical benefit from cancer medicines reported in clinical trials. ESMO-MCBS scores assume valid research methodologies and quality trial implementation. Studies incorporating flawed design, implementation, or data analysis may generate outcomes that exaggerate true benefit and are not generalisable. Failure to either indicate or penalise studies with bias undermines the intention and diminishes the integrity of ESMO-MCBS scores. This review aimed to evaluate the adequacy of the ESMO-MCBS to address bias generated by flawed design, im…
Nationwide evaluation of day-to-day clinical pharmacists' interventions in German hospitals.
2015
tudy Objective To describe and evaluate the extent and diversity of nationwide data from clinical pharmacists’ interventions (PIs) in German hospitals. Design Retrospective analysis. Data Source The ADKA-DokuPIK German database, a national anonymous self-reported Internet-based documentation system for routine PIs as well as for medication errors reported by German hospital pharmacists. Measurements and Main Results Data sets from ADKA-DokuPIK entered between January 2009 and December 2012 were analyzed descriptively. A total of 27,610 PIs were entered, mainly by ward-based clinical pharmacists (82.5%). Most of the PIs were performed on surgical wards (37.8%), followed by anesthesiology/int…
Crónica de la jurisprudencia del Comité Europeo de Derechos Sociales - 2020
2021
La presente crónica aborda un año crucial (2020) en el que la actividad del Comité Europeo de Derechos Sociales se ha enfrentado a la grave crisis provocada por la pandemia de la Covid-19. En este sentido, la jurisprudencia del Comité sobre el sistema de informes se ha centrado en un grupo temático particularmente afectado por dicha crisis (¿Empleo, formación e igualdad de oportunidades¿). Por otro lado, la jurisprudencia del Comité sobre el procedimiento de reclamaciones colectivas se ha visto especialmente reforzada, con ocasión de la resolución de quince importantes reclamaciones, por los nuevos perfiles en materia de lucha contra la brecha salarial de género y la representación de las m…
Interaction risk with proton pump inhibitors in general practice: significant disagreement between different drug-related information sources.
2006
Aims To compare information on drug–drug interactions (DDIs) reported on two standard drug-related information sources (Summary of Product Characteristics and Drugdex system by Micromedex), by assessing the prevalence and predictors of potential DDI with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in general practice. Methods From the ‘Caserta-1’ Local Health-Service database, 156 general practitioners (GPs) were recruited. From more than 180 000 individuals registered on their lists, we selected patients receiving co-prescription of PPI and medications at interaction risk, according to the Italian Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) of PPI and Drugdex information, during the year 2003. Thereafter, …
Are the Adverse Drug Reactions of Amoxycillin and Amoxycillin-Clavulanic Acid Similar?
1996
UNLABELLED In an attempt to assess the relative toxicity of amoxycillin and amoxycillin-clavulanic acid, we compared the adverse drug reactions reports collected using the spontaneous reporting system of a Regional Drug Surveillance Centre of Spain for both drugs between November 1986 and December 1992. During the 7-year period 1986-92, the 247 reports of amoxycillin-clavulanic acid represent twice the number of reports of amoxycillin alone, and the number of reports related with sales received concerning the association were higher than those concerning amoxycillin alone. The adverse effects classified as severe were quantitatively and qualitatively similar for both drugs and gastrointesti…
Evaluation of Internet Social Networks using Net scoring Tool: A Case Study in Adverse Drug Reaction Mining
2015
Suspected adverse drug reactions (ADR) reported by patients through social media can be a complementary tool to already existing ADRs signal detection processes. However, several studies have shown that the quality of medical information published online varies drastically whatever the health topic addressed. The aim of this study is to use an existing rating tool on a set of social network web sites in order to assess the capabilities of these tools to guide experts for selecting the most adapted social network web site to mine ADRs.First, we reviewed and rated 132 Internet forums and social networks according to three major criteria: the number of visits, the notoriety of the forum and th…
Sustainability Reporting in Central and Eastern European Companies: Results of an International and Empirical Study
2017
Reporting on corporate social, environmental and economic responsibility has broadened widely within the last decade. The European Union is the most active region in the world in terms of sustainability reporting, largely on a voluntary basis. Most of the empirical research related to sustainability reporting in Europe has been conducted in Western European countries. In Central and Eastern Europe, only a small number of studies have focused on sustainability reporting. Little, however, is known whether how and why companies in CEE report about their corporate sustainable activities. The aim of the research project is to describe the status quo of SR in CEE, to explain some noteworthy diffe…
