How Riding the Wave of {COVID}-19 Pandemic has Affected the Quality of Evidence-Based Medicine in Surgical Journal Publications
No full textCOVID-19 era is one of the most disturbing in recent memory. The scientific community has re-acted quickly. During this critical situation, COVID-19 highlighted criticisms affecting Evidence-Based Medicine in our time clearer than in the past. The present short communication brings to light some of the issues related to the current citation indexing-based system of publication, reporting critical bias that affected the first and second waves of the pandemic

Who is the author of the 1876 Stefano manuscript?
No full textFor over one hundred years the Stefano manuscript was a private document in the possession of the Baccich family and descendants. It told a story of the 1875 Stefano shipwreck as narrated by the shipwreck survivor and the founding family patriarch Miho Baccich. In these circumstances the question of authorship of the manuscript was immaterial and did not arise as an issue. However, with the publication of the manuscript the author‟s name, or names, need to be formally attributed to it. It turns out that this is not such a clear-cut matter.
As we shall see, all informed sources attributed the authorship, and the ownership, of the manuscript to Miho Baccich. But the manuscript itself was written by Canon Stjepan Skurla – a priest from Miho‟s hometown of Dubrovnik. The question then arises: should Skurla also be considered as an author of the manuscript, or, even as the sole author (as some would have it)
Stress-Preventive Management Competencies
No full textDefinition: Work-related stress is a critical issue that demands prevention strategy and continuous monitoring due to its widespread influence on workers, businesses, and the global economy. The primary drivers of employees’ work-related stress are psychosocial risks, which arise when key work characteristics—such as job demands, autonomy, or role clarity—are mismanaged, leading to harmful consequences. Conversely, effectively managing these factors can promotes well-being and performance. Supervisors play a central role in this dynamic process of either mitigating or exacerbating psychosocial working conditions. As such, stress-preventive management competencies (SPMCs) are essential for promoting employee and organisational health. SPMCs refer to a set of supervisory behaviours—including planning, organising, setting objectives, and creating and monitoring systems—that contribute to a positive perception of the psychosocial work environment among employees. This entry, by approaching the existing literature on work stress models, psychosocial perspectives, and related management competencies frameworks, aims to provide a comprehensive overview of SPMCs, identifying key insights and proposing directions for future research
Lo sguardo sottratto. Paesaggi di cave
No full textCrateri, voragini, gallerie, trasformazione dello spazio e della materia: gli scavi sono delle ferite al nostro suolo, cicatrici difficilmente sanabili, eppure le forme rimaste hanno creato nuovi volumi integrati col paesaggio in trasformazione, sono diventate giardini o piccole oasi naturali, teatri di un ambiente capace di riciclarsi. Il paesaggio delle cave diviene così un universo di suggestioni dove la natura e l’opera umana si fondono in una danza eterna tra creazione e sottrazione. Le cave, con le loro pareti scolpite e le profondità che si aprono verso l’ignoto, offrono un’esperienza visiva e sensoriale unica, invitando chi le osserva a immergersi in un mondo di meraviglia e mistero. È proprio questa la linea narrativa di Stefano Cioffi, raccontare il passaggio da luogo di scarto a luogo dal fascino insospettabile
Digital Stress-Preventive Management Competencies: Definition, Identification and Tool Development for Research and Practice
No full textThe digital transformation of work and the rise of remote workers (RWs) are gaining growing interest in occupational health science. However, research on managers’ role in well-being can be developed more. Aiming to bridge this gap, this study first defines and explores the Digital Stress-Preventive Management Competencies (DMCs) and then develops and validates an indicator tool with a three-phase procedure. Phase 1 consisted of a literature review and interviews with experts to identify DMCs, followed by item generation, content analysis and competencies conceptualization. Phase 2 was devoted to tool validation, comprising exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis with 247 RWs. Phase 3 explored the concurrent validity by investigating the relationship between DMCs and psychosocial factors via structural equation modeling (sample Phase 2) and polynomial regression with response surface analysis on 50 manager–team dyads (RWs 218). Two key competencies were identified: supportive ICT-mediated interaction (SIMI) and avoidance of abusive ICT adoption (AAIA). The final nine-item tool revealed a two-factor structure and good psychometric properties. SIMI was associated with superior support and role, while AAIA was linked to demands and control reported by RWs. These findings suggest that the DMCs identified and the related tool have potential applications in future organizational intervention content and for research purposes
