Patient and citizen participation in health care decisions in Italy
No full textIn recent years there has been a growing recognition in Western healthcare systems of the importance of considering preferences of patients and the public in tailoring health services and treatment plans. The active collaboration between doctor and patient has recently been encouraged through the shared decision-making model. Aim of the present contribution is to describe the current state of patient and public participation in healthcare in Italy. First, we will briefly outline the organization of the Italian National Health Service; second, we will describe the governmental and institutional initiatives regarding participation; third, some examples of associations and initiatives promoting patient participation will be provided; forth, we will report on research projects on patient participation published in peer-reviewed journals; and finally, we will provide some examples on training activities promoting patient participation. The Italian National Health Plan and many regional and local health authorities in Italy explicitly recognize the importance of patient/citizen participation in healthcare decisions at the macro, meso and micro level of decision-making. However, application of a shared model is still at an early stage in Italy. The reported experiences have yielded positive results and have shown that particular attention should be dedicated to more disadvantaged subgroups of the population, involving patient organisations, enhancing patient/citizen knowledge and adopting approaches that take the specific context into account

Efforts to link declarations to actions: Italian experiences of shared decision making in clinical settings
No full textThe Italian National Health Plan 2006-08 acknowledges the importance of patient/citizen participation, highlighting that health services have to involve patients by means of a shared decision-making (SDM) approach. The present study aims at examining the implementation of SDM in clinical settings in Italy, describing some experiences, practical difficulties and potential solutions. We found that the majority of patients want to participate in decision-making, but substantial knowledge gaps represent a barrier. Small proportions of patients express opinions and questions during the medical encounter, with a lack of facilitating questions by physicians, indicating a limited degree of involvement. The project Partecip a Salute is an initiative aiming at involving citizens, patient associations and scientific-medical professionals in the health and clinical research debate. The literature review on Italian SDM experiences has shown a limited number of publications, with the majority being commentaries or letters. In conclusion, in order to put SDM into practice more organizational and educational efforts are needed directed to both health professionals and patients/consumers. Documenting and sharing experiences is a fundamental prerequisite for progressing in the field

Goss (right; class of 1913). They are standing outside of the Manila YMCA in the Philippines. A duplicate photograph exists - http://cdm16122.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/ref/collection/p15370coll2/id/4086George Ernest Rice was born in Belton, South Carolina. After graduating Springfield College, he served as physical director at the Manila YMCA until 1913. George E. Goss was born in 1886 in Fall River, Massachusetts. From 1910 to 1911, he served as physical director at the Presido Army YMCA in San Francisco. After graduating from Springfield College, he was hired as physical director of the Manila YMCA, where he remained until 1915. Goss was instrumental in the research and development of life-saving techniques for the victims of drowning while at Springfield College. He published these techniques in a book titled “Life Saving” (1916). He died on January 13, 1936. The work of the YMCA in the Philippines began in 1898 with the arrival of the United States army during the Spanish-American War. William A. Tener, the first secretary sent to the Philippines by the International Committee, arrived in 1907. Early in 1910, Elwood S. Brown arrived in Manila as physical director, and he advocated for the construction of a student building, athletic field, a wing for the American-European Association, and a building for the Association of Filipinos. With the help of Tener and John R. Mott, funds were obtained for the construction and furnishing of the Manila YMCA. Partly as an outcome of the successful financial campaign, the YMCA of the Philippine Islands was organized and incorporated in Manila in 1911. A permanent National Board was created in 1925, and by 1926, the Association had over 6000 members and nearly fifty Filipino secretaries. The first Filipino national secretary, Domingo C. Bascara, was appointed in 1940. The Filipino movement is notable for having been the first major YMCA in Asia to become completely indigenous in active full-time staff.Text on border reads, "Goss '13 Manila, P I.
Goss Texture Formation by Asymmetric Rolling in Steel Sheet
No full textThe Goss texture, or {110}<001>, shows soft magnetic property due to the <100>. Therefore, it is one of the most important texture in Si steels. The Goss texture is one of the shear deformation texture in steel which has bcc structure. During the asymmetric rolling, shear deformation is imposed on steel sheets. To obtain the Goss texture, the carbon and Si steel sheets were asymmetrically rolled by 50-85% reduction in thickness at room temperature and at 770 °C. The asymmetric rolling of steel sheets gave rise to the well-developed Goss texture to them.</jats:p
