Rob Riemen: «El arte de ser humanos».
No full textEn Nobleza de espíritu, Riemen investigaba sobre la democracia para responder a la pregunta de Sócrates sobre cuál es la mejor forma de vivir. En Para combatir esta era reflexionaba sobre el regreso del fascismo. Ahora, en El arte de ser humanos, Riemen trata de arrojar luz a la esencia de la persona. En la medida en que se aclare lo que es ser humano, se podrá llevar una vida plena y se podrá construir una sociedad más justa. Vivir dignamente supone la búsqueda de la verdad metafísica y de los valores espirituales que el individuo debe apropiarse, incluidos el pensamiento crítico y la autocrítica. Ser humano es un arte y radica en la nobleza de espíritu, afirma Riemen. La nobleza de espíritu nos libera de nuestra propia estupidez, de nuestro propios prejuicios, de nuestra propia ignorancia, de nuestros propios miedos. Equivale a lo que Sócrates llama παιδεία (paideía) y los alemanes designan con Bildung. Apunta a formar el carácter y a convertirnos en auténticas personas, en vez de simples individuos parte de la multitud. Ser humanos es «un arte que comienza con la bendición del recuerdo del amor que te dieron» (p. 75), subraya Riemen
Rob and Bert in Tokyo
No full textThis essay is steeped in contradiction: it is as much an attempt at mourning, coping, and letting go as it is an exercise in remembrance, rediscovery, and reconnection. One of the many areas of international legal scholarship where Rob Cryer left his mark is his oeuvre on the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (IMTFE). To pay tribute to, and get re-acquainted with, Rob-the-person, I re-read his 2010 article on the ‘dignified dissenter’ in Tokyo, Dutch Judge Bert Röling. In that article, Rob uses the memoranda and the opinion of Bert-the-judge to assess his conceptual and legal contributions to the IMTFE judgment. They also serve him as a vehicle to get a better grasp of the author behind the text and the values and dilemmas that shaped Röling’s positions on the IMTFE bench. What more can we learn and understand about Rob Cryer while ‘reading Rob reading Bert’? What aspects of Röling’s legacy did he choose to foreground, and what qualities did he appreciate most? How did Rob treat his character when shedding light on the more contentious elements of Röling’s work? Even if this essay fails in its therapeutic purpose, it might still add a few mosaic pieces to the collective construction of Rob’s portrait in this volume

Detecting referral and selection bias by the anonymous linkage of practice, hospital and clinic data using Secure and Private Record Linkage (SAPREL): case study from the evaluation of the Improved Access to Psychological Therapy (IAPT) service.
No full textBACKGROUND: The evaluation of demonstration sites set up to provide improved access to psychological therapies (IAPT) comprised the study of all people identified as having common mental health problems (CMHP), those referred to the IAPT service, and a sample of attenders studied in-depth. Information technology makes it feasible to link practice, hospital and IAPT clinic data to evaluate the representativeness of these samples. However, researchers do not have permission to browse and link these data without the patients' consent.
OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the use of a mixed deterministic-probabilistic method of secure and private record linkage (SAPREL)--to describe selection bias in subjects chosen for in-depth evaluation.
METHOD: We extracted, pseudonymised and used fuzzy logic to link multiple health records without the researcher knowing the patient's identity. The method can be characterised as a three party protocol mainly using deterministic algorithms with dynamic linking strategies; though incorporating some elements of probabilistic linkage. Within the data providers' safe haven we extracted: Demographic data, hospital utilisation and IAPT clinic data; converted post code to index of multiple deprivation (IMD); and identified people with CMHP. We contrasted the age, gender, ethnicity and IMD for the in-depth evaluation sample with people referred to IAPT, use hospital services, and the population as a whole.
RESULTS: The in IAPT-in-depth group had a mean age of 43.1 years; CI: 41.0-45.2 (n=166); the IAPT-referred 40.2 years; CI: 39.4-40.9 (n=1118); and those with CMHP 43.6 years SEM 0.15. (n=12210). Whilst around 67% of those with a CMHP were women, compared to 70% of those referred to IAPT, and 75% of those subject to in-depth evaluation (Chi square p<0.001). The mean IMD score for the in-depth evaluation group was 36.6; CI: 34.2-38.9; (n=166); of those referred to IAPT 38.7; CI: 37.9-39.6; (n=1117); and of people with CMHP 37.6; CI 37.3-37.9; (n=12143).
CONCLUSIONS: The sample studied in-depth were older, more likely female, and less deprived than people with CMHP, and fewer had recorded ethnic minority status. Anonymous linkage using SAPREL provides insight into the representativeness of a study population and possible adjustment for selection bias
