The Way

How can a supreme audit institution (SAI) use design thinking in auditing? SAIs audit the way taxpayers’ money is collected and spent. Adding design thinking to their activities is not to be taken lightly. SAIs independently check whether public organizations have done the right things in the right way, but the organizations might not be willing to act upon a SAI’s recommendations. Can you imagine the role of design in audits? In this paper we share our experiences of some design approaches in the work of one SAI: the Netherlands Court of Audit (NCA). Design thinking needs to be adapted (Dorst, 2015a) before it can be used by SAIs such as the NCA in order to reflect their independent, autonomous status. To dive deeper into design thinking, Buchanan’s design framework (2015) and different ways of reasoning (Dorst, 2015b) are used to explore how design thinking can be adapted for audits.

The Impact

Abstract Background Twenty years ago, an inclusive trauma system was implemented in the Netherlands. The goal of this study was to evaluate the impact of structured trauma care on the concentration of severely injured patients over time. Methods All severely injured patients (Injury Severity Score [ISS] ≥ 16) documented in the Dutch Trauma Registry (DTR) in the calendar period 2008–2018 were included for analysis. We compared severely injured patients, with and without severe neurotrauma, directly brought to trauma centers (TC) and non-trauma centers (NTC). The proportion of patients being directly transported to a trauma center was determined, as was the total Abbreviated Injury Score (AIS), and ISS. Results The documented number of severely injured patients increased from 2350 in 2008 to 4694 in 2018. During this period, on average, 70% of these patients were directly admitted to a TC (range 63–74%). Patients without severe neurotrauma had a lower chance of being brought to a TC compared to those with severe neurotrauma. Patients directly presented to a TC were more severely injured, reflected by a higher total AIS and ISS, than those directly transported to a NTC. Conclusion Since the introduction of a well-organized trauma system in the Netherlands, trauma care has become progressively centralized, with more severely injured patients being directly presented to a TC. However, still 30% of these patients is initially brought to a NTC. Future research should focus on improving pre-hospital triage to facilitate swift transfer of the right patient to the right hospital.

The Right

Legal privilege and professional secrecy of attorneys relate to the right to a fair trial (Article 6 European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)) as well as to the right to respect for private and family life (Article 8 ECHR). The reason for protecting the lawyer via fundamental rights is the protection of fundamental rights of the lawyer’s clients. All legal orders apply legal privileges and professional secrecy; however, the contents of such are not identical. Traditionally there is an important difference between common and civil law. The professional secrecy of an attorney in civil law jurisdictions is his right and at the same time his obligation based on his membership of the Bar (that is his legal profession). In common law legal privilege comprises the contents of documents issued by an attorney to the client. Professional secrecy of attorneys in civil law jurisdictions applies solely to independent lawyers; in-house lawyers are usually not allowed to benefit from rules on professional secrecy (exceptions in the Netherlands and Belgium). On the other hand, common law jurisdictions apply legal professional privilege, recognized also to in-house lawyers. Slovenian law follows the traditional civil law concept of professional secrecy and sets a limited privilege to in-house lawyers. The article then discusses Slovenian law of civil procedure and compares the position of professional secrecy in lawsuits before State’s courts and in arbitration.

Abstract. Secretion of LH in response to an LRH infusion (104 ng/h during 21 h), secretion of progesterone (P) and 20 α-dihydroprogesterone (DHP), as well as the 24 h rhythm of prolactin (Prl) secretion were investigated in rats rendered persistently oestrous by exposure to constant light and in which subsequently pseudopregnancy (PSP) had been induced by cervical stimulation after induction of ovulation by hCG. Similar persistently oestrous rats, but otherwise untreated, served as controls. LRH was infused through an intra-jugular cannula and blood samples for assay of LH were taken via an intra-carotid cannula. LH responses were judged on the basis of the mean maximal height (MH; ng LH ml plasma) and the rate of decrease or half life (t½ of the plasma LH concentrations after 2 h of LRH infusion. For assay of P and DHP blood samples were taken from the orbitalplexus. In another series of animals blood, for assay of Prl, was sampled every 2 h for 24 h from a cannula with the tip in the right atrium. It was observed that in persistently oestrous rats LH-responses were high (MH = 3326 ± 305) and steep (t½ = 65 ± 10 min). On the day after the night of ovulation (day 0 of PSP) and on days 1, 5 and 9 of PSP the responses were lower (MH between 1315 and 1041) and more blunted (t½ varied between 236 and 142 min), whilst on day 12 of PSP they were again higher (MH = 4416 ± 575) and steeper (t½ = 101 ± 12 min). P and DHP concentrations were low in persistently oestrous rats and high during days 5 and 8 of PSP. On day 12 of PSP P concentrations were low again, while the DHP concentrations had increased further. In persistently oestrous rats the plasma Prl levels were low with incidental elevations (up to 141 ng Prl/ml aAntoni van Leeuwenhoekhuis The Netherlands Cancer Institute, Amsterdam, The Netherlands plasma). During days 8 – 9 of PSP Prl was secreted at irregular intervals (1 to 3 peaks/24 h) with peak levels of up to 400 ng Prl/ml plasma. On days 11 – 12 of PSP, Prl peaks were lacking almost completely: only a few minor elevations (up to 41 ng Prl/ml plasma) were measured. It is concluded that during days 0 to 10 of pseudopregnancy under constant light the endocrine state of the animals (in terms of LRH-responsiveness and P and DHP secretion) differs significantly form that during the previous and the following days. As similar changes are observed in PSP rats maintained under standard lighting conditions, it is apparent that the lighting conditions do not influence these changes. The pattern of Prl secretion during PSP, on the other hand is affected by the lighting conditions.

International concern about child maltreatment has been reflected in the establishment of an international society for the prevention of abuse and neglect which now has over 470 members and many national societies around the world.The Third International conference on child abuse and neglect was sponsored by the International Society for the Prevention of Abuse and Neglect and the Dutch Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. The Conference was held in Amsterdam in April 1981 at the Free University, where 600 participants gathered. It involved professional and lay persons from 33 major countries. The Netherlands and U.S.A. sent 100 delegates each and Australia, 32, 14 of whom were social workers and 4 were medical representatives. Two hundred and fifty papers were presented of which 12 were delivered by Australians.

AbstractSuicide, assisted suicide and euthanasia are elusive and controversial issues worldwide. To discuss such issues from only one perspective may be limiting. Therefore, this paper was written by authors from various regions, each of whom has been asked to reflect on the issues. The countries/cultures are: Australia, China, Cuba, Ireland, India, Japan, Russia, South Africa, The Netherlands, North America (Turtle Island) and United States. Historically and today, suicide is viewed differently. Assisted suicide and euthanasia are equally seen from multifarious perspectives. Highlighting development in the Netherlands, Australia's Northern Territory and Japan (ie. the famous Yamanouchi Case), the review shows growing re-examination of the right to die. There appear, however, to be no uniform legal and ethical positions. Further debate and discussion globally is needed to avoid myopic perspectives.

The Relationship

AbstractDiscussions about the relationship between 'religion' and 'human rights' often focus on the problems that arise from 'religion'. Within a European historical perspective this is understandable since one of the most important aspects of the historical development of the 'human rights' tradition in the Europe has been the struggle for the right not to believe.However, the concept of the 'secular' is also not unproblematic. Thus this article explores the contested relationship between 'human rights' and 'religion' by bringing into focus also the relatively hidden factor of the 'secular'. This is done by exploring the forms of secularity exemplified in the traditions and approaches that are found in the USA, France, Turkey, the Netherlands and India. Finally, reference is made to traditional Islamic models for integrating cultural and religious plurality, before concluding with some discussion of the thought of Marc Luyckx in relation to the future of Europe.

This work presents some logistics and transportation challenges that were solved by 3 different student groups from 3 different European entities. These groups were: the STC Group, from The Netherlands, made of 12 students; the FHOO Group, from Austria, which comprised a number of 10 students and the IMST Group from Romania, made of 12 students. Each of the group had a specific task of finding the best logistic and transportation solution for each of their task. Also, they need to take into account several important parameters like air pollution problem, the shortest way of reaching to destination, the way of transport and others, which were decisive in choosing the right solution.
