An essential goal of library informatics is to create open-source systems through community collaboration. Primary examples of open solution Integrated Library Systems, such as KOHA, Evergreen, or the Open Library Environment (Kuali OLE), have been born out of this notion. Since 2016, the librarian and developer professional communities have been working together to take this framework to a higher level. Building on learnings from prior system developments, a new modular, micro-service based platform was created. The platform was named FOLIO, short for ’The Future of Libraries is Open’, to reflect its open and flexible nature. Today, FOLIO platform and its relevant modules are widely used by a number of medium-sized and national libraries (e.g. the Italian National Library in Florence). The objectives of the Hungarian National Library Platform (HNLP) development, launched in 2016, are very much in alignment with the above: to re-conceptualise services offered by national libraries, to explore new ways of collaboration, to revolutionise common catalogue and interlibrary loan, and to make entity-based data connections available beyond the world outside libraries through integration to the Hungarian National Namespace. And first and foremost, to offer the most advanced services and state-of-the-art IT technology to library users. The National Széchényi Library Hungary has been part of the FOLIO community since its inception, to have a stake in its strategic direction and to benefit from the developments taking place internationally. Our long-term vision is to enable seamless module compatibility between the two systems so that libraries can use a flexible configuration that best serves their needs. The main pillars of the development are identical for both FOLIO and HNLP: (i) an entity-based data model, (ii) the creation of a meaning-based integrated architecture through modularity for any number of institutions and any institutional hierarchy, and (iii) the free configurability of workflows across the system / flexible workflow design. Where are HNLP, FOLIO and ReShare, the major collaborative module for interlibrary loan of the latter on this path right now? What solutions are provided for the basic pillars, and what objectives are still to be achieved?

The challenges faced by women in male-dominated occupations are often attributed to the men in, and masculine cultures of, these occupations—and sometimes to senior women in these occupations who may fail to give a “leg up” to the women coming up behind them. As such, prior research has largely focused on challenges that women experience from those of higher or equal status within the occupation and on the negative climate that surrounds women in these positions. We introduce a novel challenge, the status-leveling burden, which is the pressure put on women in male-dominated occupations from women in occupations lower in the institutional hierarchy to be their equal. Drawing on interviews with 45 surgeons, we present a model that unpacks this status-leveling burden. Our research makes novel contributions to the literatures on challenges to women in male-dominated occupations and on shared demography in cross-occupational collaboration, and it suggests new avenues for research at the intersection of gender and occupational status in the workplace.

Power in meetings may be enacted in many ways, ranging from democratic and collaborative through to authoritative and didactic, with the exact positioning on this continuum typically under the control of the chair. By contrast with the focus of most previous research on the behaviour of institutionally ratified chairs of intact teams, this paper examines how volunteer chairs of small focus groups in public meetings use the power associated with that role to manage the discussion and to encourage or discourage explicit expression of disagreement. Our analysis identifies ways in which these arbitrarily assigned chairs influence and facilitate the small group discussions through a range of discourse practices. By separating the chair role from its typical co-occurrence with institutional hierarchy we are able to demonstrate the inherent influence and power of the position in the decision making process.

This study summarizes aspects of Serbian regional policy with special focus on regions and the development of the regional institutions. The study emphasizes the importance of the issue in the Republic of Serbia in 2010, with the ambition to join the European Union. With the enactment of the new Law on Regional Development and the legal framework five NUTS 2 regions were created. The Ministry of Economy and Regional Development is responsible for the institutional coordination of the regional policy. Regional Development Agencies are at the intermediate level of institutional hierarchy. After the regionalization of Serbia, the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina remained a whole and unified NUTS 2 region with complex and developed regional institutions.

This paper disentangles the claims that we are witnessing a revolution in central banking - the return of large interventions in government bond markets.It argues that not all central bank purchases of government bonds are alike, but they should be evaluated against the objectives of the interventions and the broader macro-financial setup of the economy. It distinguishes two regimes of monetary financing – shadow vs subordinated – across objectives of intervention, targets, institutional hierarchy, macroeconomic paradigm, and accumulation regime/distribution of political power. Shadow monetary financing, it argues, offers a weak framework for monetary-fiscal interactions, one that actively undermines both the rethink of fiscal rules, and fiscal support for the low-carbon transition.

Context: Institutional hierarchy is a phenomenon associated with clinical tribalism. Inter-professional learning is thought to improve a healthcare team's collaboration and communication. Aim: The aim was to evaluate student understanding of institutional hierarchy and perceptions and opinions on their participation in inter-professional learning. Method: Using a questionnaire, this study gathered the opinions of fourth year pharmacy students who had completed two inter-professional learning sessions. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted. Results: Students (87.7%, n=50) were aware of the institutional hierarchy concept, listing the order as doctors, pharmacists, nurses then allied health. 61.4% (n=35) were willing to participate in inter-professional learning sessions. Students (70.1%, n=40) agreed that inter-professional learning sessions have added benefit to patient-centred care, and to understanding different healthcare roles in depth (82.5%, n=47) but failed in diminution of the hierarchical ideology. Conclusions: Inter-professional learning sessions did not change students' opinions about posiGoning of doctors as the top of the healthcare institutional hierarchy.

Las relaciones públicas desempeñan un papel muy relevante en la gestión de los públicos. Una de las actividades más significativas es la organización de actos como técnica del protocolo. El protocolo desempeña tres elementos esenciales como son la ordenación de las personas, de los espacios y de los tiempos. Todo ello con una serie de criterios de relevancia, comunicativos y de aplicación de la normativa.En este sentido, esta propuesta persigue analizar un acto de protocolo oficial en uno de los días que más controversia genera en España como es el Día de la Hispanidad. Para ello, se analiza ese acto durante el periodo 2012-2017 con los objetivos de conocer qué participantes políticos participan, cómo se ordenan las autoridades y qué normativa se aplica.Los resultados muestran que la actualidad política condiciona el grado de información y participación de los participantes sociales y políticos, que las autoridades asisten en aplicación del protocolo oficial y que la normativa de aplicación es el Real Decreto de Precedencias que jerarquiza la posición de las instituciones públicas como son la Jefatura del Estado como anfitrión y una jerarquía institucional que antepone el poder ejecutivo, seguido del legislativo y el judicial.________________________Public relations play a very important role in public management. One of the most significant activities is the organization of acts as the protocol technique. The protocol plays three essential elements such as the ordination of people, of the spaces and times. All this with some criteria of relevance, of communicative and of application of the norms.In this sense, this proposal aims to analyse an act of official protocol in one of the days that generates the most controversy in Spain as is the “Hispanic Day”. So, this event is analysed during the period 2012 – 2017 with the objectives of knowing which political participants participate, how the authorities are ordered and what regulations are applied.The results show that the current political situation conditions the degree of information and participation of the social and political participants, that the authorities are assisting in the application of the official protocol and that the implementing legislation is the Royal Decree of Precedence that ranks the position of public institutions such as the Head of State as host and an institutional hierarchy that puts the executive power first, followed by the legislative and the judiciary.
