Postoperative abdominal adhesions and their prevention in gynaecological surgery. Expert consensus position. Part 2—steps to reduce adhesions
No full textThis consensus position represents the collective
views of 35 gynaecologists with a recognised interest in
adhesions. The first part of the position was presented in the
previous issue of Gynecological Surgery and reviewed the
published literature on the extent of the problem of
adhesions. In this part, the opportunities to reduce their
incidence are considered. Collective proposals on the
actions that European gynaecologists should take to avoid
causing adhesions are provided. Importantly, in this part,
the need to now inform patients of the risks associated with
adhesion-related complications during the consent process
is discussed. With evidence increasing to support the
efficacy of adhesion-reduction agents to complement good
surgical practice, all surgeons should act now to reduce
adhesions and fulfil their duty of care to patients
Trew@sig: spatial workflow. Workflow y SIG para la I-Administación
No full textTrew@SIG nace para cubrir la necesidad de gestión de información espacial asociada a los flujos de trabajo en la
tramitación de expedientes de la administración electrónica. Es un completo framework de desarrollo que
proporciona la total integración de los Sistemas de Información Geográfica con datos de gestión, como un módulo
complementario "al sistema de tramitación". Esto es, un entorno de desarrollo multifuncional, aplicable a diferentes
ámbitos de la gestión pública, como el urbanismo, recursos hídricos, inventarios georreferenciados, participación
pública, etc.
Trew@SIG se fundamenta en dos conceptos básicos. Por un lado, el “Momento de Tramitación”, definido por el
estado en el que se encuentra el proceso de trabajo y las necesidades de información espacial y herramientas, que
apoyarán la toma de decisiones para la continuación del flujo. Por otro, el “GeoPerfil”, como conjunto de capas y
herramientas de gestión de la información espacial ligados al momento de tramitación y a las necesidades del
usuario.
Estas capacidades se han desarrollado en entornos diferentes: web, escritorio y móvil, todos ellos según normas
OGC y usando componentes desarrollados en software libre, entre los que se encuentran:
• Núcleo de integración con el workflow, que ofrece las funcionalidades adecuadas para la integración del
sistema con el momento de tramitación.
• Núcleo SIG., aporta todas las funcionalidades para la gestión de la información espacial, basado en
estándares OGC: WMS, WFS, WFS-G, WPS.
• Trew@SIG cliente web, aporta las funcionalidades de visualización de capas y herramientas de gestión
mediante un framework de desarrollo basado en tecnologías OpenSource.
• Aplicación de movilidad basada en Enebro Framework, que incorpora las funcionalidades necesarias para
las operaciones de campo.
• Aplicación de escritorio basada en gvSIG y empleada para aprovechar toda la potencia de esta herramienta
de escritorio.
Trew@SIG puede ser usado por cualquier entidad pública o privada en procesos trabajo, mejorando la gestión de
datos y ofreciendo todos los instrumentos requeridos en la toma de decisiones que requieran consultar, capturar,
modificar o analizar elementos territoriales.
El resultado es un entorno de desarrollo que permite modelar procesos de gestión con dimensión espacial, de
fácil implantación, implementado con tecnologías de fuentes abiertas y bajo estándares OGC. Ofrece a las distintas
organizaciones y usuarios la posibilidad de integrar en sus procesos de trabajo datos y funcionalidades espaciales,
hasta ahora, tratadas con herramientas y en entornos diferentes.Trew@SIG is born to cover the need of spatial data management in workflow-processing. Trew@SIG is a complete
framework to develop professional workflow solutions providing total GIS-Data integration,as an add-on module to
the pure-workflow-system. It's a multipurpose framework, being used in different workflow enviroments, as urbanism,
hydrological processes, multipurposal inventaries, urban tasks, contingency management, etc.
Trew@SIG is based on two basic concepts “Workflow momentum” and “GeoProfile”. Workflow momentum is an
unique combination of workflow status with specific needs of spatial information and tools,in order to decide which
way the workflow will go on. GeoProfile is defined as a set of layers and tools to manage spatial information.
This way, Trew@SIG deals with workflow and spatial data associating a geoprofile to a certain workflow
momentum, providing the user with all spatial information and capabilities needed to go ahead with the next step of
the workflow process.
These capabilities are offered in different enviroments: web, desktop and mobile, all of them according to OGC
standards and using open source components, which are detailed as follows:
•Workflow integration core, which offers full integration with workflow processes. It has been integrated with Trew@
workflow system, based on WFMC (WorkFlowManagementCoalition) standards, implementing XPDL and WSDL
standards.
•GIS core,this module contains all the GIS functionallities based on OGC standards: WMS,WFS,WFS-G,WPS.
•Trew@SIG webclient,open for different client mapping frameworks.Full configuration of a geoprofile (layers&tools)
implemented for OpenLayers and Mapfish.
•Desktop application,based on gvSIG, provides advanced users full and highest performance managing spatial data.
•Fieldwork application,based on Enebro, gives full capabilities for fieldwork operations,GPS-capturing,editing,etc.
Trew@SIG can be used for any public or private entity for their own workflow processes,improving the
management of data,offering all the tools required to make a decision in a process.
To sum up,Trew@SIG makes workflow processing much easier,faster and simpler to deploy,joining the effort of
leading opensource projects in a framework and offering the final users GIS data and functionalities completely
integrated in workflow processing

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Endogenous Financial Development and Industrial Takeoff
No full textThere is a large and growing literature on the relationship between financial development and economic growth. It suggests a positive causal link running from finance to growth. We consider, in broad terms, the existing historical evidence on this connection. We demonstrate that constraints on investment finance occur primarily in the presence of fixed costs. Investments in physical transport infrastructures are prime examples of projects in which financial constraints can retard industrial growth. Furthermore, an appreciation of spatial and dynamic elements is central: Infrastructure development was privately financed by spatially concentrated coalitions of modest investors. We contrast the institutional environment in Britain with that in continental Europe. We develop a theory of finance and growth that can account for the disaggregated and dynamic nature of the finance and development of infrastructure.finance and growth, endogenous growth, economic integration, economic history.
The Right to Strike under the United States Constitution: Theory, Practice, and Possible Implications for Canada
No full textAnswering critics of the Canadian Supreme Court's judgment in B.C. Health, the author argues that the Court laid the foundation for a principled and durable doctrine protecting constitutional labour rights, one that goes directly to the heart of the matter — the inequality of workers’ power in the employment relation. In the author’s view, two paths could lead from B.C. Health to the recognition of Charter protec- tion for a right to strike: one that treats the right as an accessory to col- lective bargaining, and one that upholds the right directly on the basis of the Charter values of equality and participation. The author supports the latter approach, contending that constitutional rights should be defined in relation to fundamental values, in a way that is not contingent on time-bound or fact-sensitive assessments about the role of strikes within a particular collective bargaining regime. Although a Charter right to strike may involve the courts in difficult choices about when to defer to legislative policy decisions, and courts may lack the institutional capac- ity to deal effectively with labour law issues, the author points out that judges can look to ILO standards for expert guidance. Noting that the U.S. experience in this area might be of considerable use to Canadians, the author concludes by providing an overview of American case law concerning a constitutional right to strike.Peer reviewe
