Theoretical Overview

Reading literacy has changed its character in recent decades. It increasingly goes beyond the simple skills of decoding text and retrieving information. The possibilities for skillful navigation in the information’s sea, for extracting reliable information in a „post-truth“ situation, for dealing with infodemic are among the characteristics of reading literacy today. This report provides a theoretical overview of the literature, which presents the latest policies to stimulate reading literacy, understood as critical thinking and working with different types of texts, including digital. The report also presents and analyzes the results of the 2018 PIS A literacy survey of 15-year-old students. Emphasis is placed on the performance of Bulgarian students and comparison with previous research results. Reading literacy is invariably related to digital literacy, the results of the authors research in this direction are also presented. Basic recommendations to teachers for the formation of reading literacy and critical thinking of students are done.

Summary Judgment

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia upheld, in Presbyterian Medical Center of the University of Pennsylvania Health System v. Shalala, 170 F.3d 1146 (D.C. Cir. 1999), a federal district court ruling granting summary judgment to the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) in a case in which Presbyterian Medical Center (PMC) challenged Medicare's requirement of contemporaneous documentation of $828,000 in graduate medical education (GME) expenses prior to increasing reimbursement amounts. DHHS Secretary Donna Shalala denied PMC's request for reimbursement for increased GME costs. The appellants then brought suit in federal court challenging the legality of an interpretative rule that requires requested increases in reimbursement to be supported by contemporaneous documentation. PMC also alleged that an error was made in the administrative proceedings to prejudice its claims because Aetna, the hospital's fiscal intermediary, failed to provide the hospital with a written report explaining why it was denied the GME reimbursement.

Scale Method

Abstract. Background: People who feel they have become a burden on others may become susceptible to suicidal ideation. When people no longer feel capable or productive, they may assume that friends and family members would be better off without them. Aim: The present study was designed to assess preliminary psychometric properties of a new measure, the Perceived Burdensomeness (PBS) Scale. Method: Depressed psychiatric patients (N = 173) were recruited from a veterans affairs medical center. Patients were assessed with a structured diagnostic interview and self-report measures assessing perceived burdensomeness, depression severity, hopelessness, and suicidal ideation. Results: The present study supported preliminary evidence of reliability and concurrent validity of the PBS. Additionally, perceived burdensomeness was significantly associated with higher levels of hopelessness and suicidal ideation. Conclusion: It is hoped that with the aid of the PBS clinicians may be able to intervene more specifically in the treatment of suicidality.
