The governance of early childhood education is a public responsibility. The need exists for proactive local policy development and program management and for accountability of programs to the purpose of public policy. Public governance of education should be deliberate in order to assure that desired benefits are arranged for all children and their families. Such governance should also be taken cautiously through consideration of issues about (1) education as a personal social service, (2) the impact of educational structures on individuals and families, and (3) the use of preschool programs as a massive human experiment. Alternative ways to govern the education of young children are explored. A clear advantage appears possible for young children when policy decisions are made by persons close to those who are to receive their benefits.

Introducción: Las políticas públicas son asuntos clave de la gestión gubernamental y su estudio es importante cuando se analiza el impacto que tienen frente a problemas relevantes que se reflejan en el perfil epidemiológico. Objetivo: Analizar la importancia que las enfermedades cardio-cerebro-vasculares tuvieron en la formulación de las políticas públicas en salud en Medellín entre 2000-2013. Materiales y métodos: Enfoque cualitativo con estrategia metodológica de análisis documental de corte hermenéutico. Se tomaron como base los acuerdos aprobados por el Concejo de Medellín y se seleccionaron aquellos, que tienen relación directa o indirecta con estas enfermedades, asimismo se revisaron planes de desarrollo contextualizados en lineamientos de políticas nacionales e internacionales. Resultados: Se encuentra un acuerdo que se refiere explícitamente a estas enfermedades. La mayoría son políticas orientadas, a grupos específicos o problemáticas relacionadas con promoción de la salud y prevención de las enfermedades cardio-cerebro-vasculares. El seguimiento y evaluación son fases menos tenidas en cuenta en el ciclo de las políticas públicas. Conclusiones: Los resultados sugieren la necesidad de una concepción amplia de la salud que oriente la formulación de las políticas locales e impacte un problema tan complejo e importante para el municipio, como lo son estas enfermedades.Abstract Introduction: Public policy is a key element to government administration and its study is important when analyzing the impact it has on relevant issues evidenced in the epidemiological profile. Objective: To analyze the importance of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases in the development of public policy in health in Medellin between 2000 and 2013. Materials and methods: A qualitative approach with hermeneutic documentary analysis was done. The agreements approved by the Medellin council were taken as a base, from which those directly or indirectly related with these diseases were selected. Plans of action based on national and international policy guidelines were also reviewed. Results: An agreement that explicitly referred to these diseases was found. Most policy is oriented toward specific groups or issues related to health promotion and the prevention of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. Follow-up and  evaluation are the most overlooked stages of the public policy cycle. Conclusions: These results suggest the need for a broader definition of health that foments local policy development and impacts such a complex and important issue  for the city by taking into account these diseases.

Abstract Introduction Antimicrobial resistance is increasing globally. Surgical inpatients are more likely to receive inappropriately broad-spectrum and prolonged antimicrobial treatment, against local policy. Electronic prescribing (e-prescribing) has the potential to promote antimicrobial stewardship. We conducted a closed-loop audit to assess the impact of e-prescribing on surgical inpatient prescriptions. Method Audit standards (from Public Health England) included: (1) documentation of allergy status, prescriber contact information, antimicrobial indication and review/stop dates; and (2) prescription of appropriate antimicrobials for appropriate durations (IV and total). Prospective data collection occurred over 1-week. The interventions included an educational session, a once weekly microbiology round of surgical inpatients and the introduction of e-prescribing (Cerner©). Results Compliance improved significantly between cycle 1 (n = 54 prescriptions) and 2 (n = 59 prescriptions), for: documentation of prescriber contact details (69 vs 100%) and appropriate antimicrobial review/stop dates (17 vs 100%), indications (78 vs 96%), selection (76 vs 90%) and IV and total antibiotic duration (63 vs 93% and 87 vs 100%, respectively); p < 0.05 throughout. Conclusions Audit compliance improved significantly, partly because Cerner© prompts clinicians to input contact details, review dates and indications before prescribing. E-prescribing in combination with appropriate education is likely to promote antimicrobial stewardship and should be considered by other Trusts using paper prescriptions.

Video-mediated technologies enable families with young children to participate in interactions with remote family members. This article examines how a family with young children uses the affordances of video conferencing to 'show' items or themselves. Findings indicate that there are two types of shows in these remote family interactions: those that are designed to receive identification, and those that are designed to receive appreciation and/or assessment. These shows are also often collaboratively produced between a child and her co-present parent. Finally, this paper considers the implications of these shows for our understanding of how families remotely participate in family life. Data are in American English.

The article considers the concept of startups and ecosystems of startup development. It investigates the innovativeness ratings of countries and regional ecosystems of startups and the factors influencing the successful development of startups. The article considers the ranking of the best regional startup ecosystems in the world. It covers the experience of the leading regions, whose effectiveness is driven by attention to financing, networking, expanding access to markets, attracting and nurturing talents, accumulating experience and scientific development. Particular attention is given to the impact of the specialization and effectiveness of the regional focus strategy. Based on the methodology and results of the Global Startup Ecosystem Ranking 2019, authors have empirically investigated the startup ecosystem of the Lviv city. Authors described and systemized the startups operating in the city, the elements, and dynamics of the urban startup infrastructure. The preconditions for successful development of startups - financing, talents, experience, connectedness, access to markets - have been identified. The effectiveness of the activity of city authorities, the local policy of promoting the startup environment development - documents, measures and results – have been investigated. The main factors of Lviv’s regional leadership in the development of digital startups in Ukraine are: the dynamic development of the IT industry, the development of digital competencies and the concentration of talent in leading universities, the development of corporate universities and innovative infrastructure, the development of infrastructure and comfort in the city. For the development of the Lviv startup ecosystem, it is recommended to focus the efforts on further accumulation and transfer of experience, retention of talents, improvement of technology transfer systems, focusing on areas of exclusive competence while expanding access to finance and the global market.
