Introduction: In the practice of dentistry, the dentist may be held responsible for their actions or omissions that result in damage to their patients. Such responsibility may occur in the ethical, civil and criminal spheres, among others. Over the years, the society and the professional-patient relationship have changed supported by current legislations, as well as increased information and communication. So, we have witnessed an increasing number of disputes in court involving dentists and theirs patients, which reveals the importance of professionals to know the regulations in the practice of dentistry and the consequences of the illegal act. Objective: The present study aimed to provide knowledge, through a literature review, on the legal aspect of professional responsibility of the dental surgeon and to highlight the importance of dental documentation as a means of proving professional performance. Methods: It was used books, theses and scientific papers published in electronic databases such as SciELO, Bireme, MedLine and Lilacs, in Portuguese language, besides laws and regulations published in official electronic addresses. Conclusions: It was concluded that an adequate medical record protects the professional; as documentation fails, compromises all work done and may result in condemnation.

This paper provides an overview of published scientific papers in refereed journals on the use of new media in teaching geography. Relevant previous research on the application of GIS in the process of teaching at the secondary and higher education is considered from critical aspects. The main objective of this theoretical study is to systematically and chronologicaly point to the central themes that were dealt with by researchers in the context of the study of GIS in teaching geography. Research has shown that the interest of researchers for GIS in education studies is growing in line with the development of information and communication technologies, that study topics of the problem varied, and that the number of research and range of topics increases after 2000.

BACKGROUND We undertook a systemic literature review to provide a critical overview of existing research into the incorporation of ethical principles into telehealth practice. As the use of technology to deliver health services is increasing rapidly, these initiatives may fail if ethical impacts are not fully identified and acted upon by practitioners. Our objective was to explore how, in providing telehealth services to patients, applying ethical principles can improve patient experience, clinical care and effectiveness in practice, compared to not doing so. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to explore how, in providing telehealth services to patients, applying ethical principles can improve patient experience, clinical care and effectiveness in practice, compared to not doing so. METHODS The framework for the principles of health ethics applied by the researchers is provided by Beauchamp and Childress: autonomy, justice, beneficence, non-maleficent and the professional-patient relationship. Six databases of systematic reviews were searched between March 2016 to May 2016. A combination of broad terms (“ethics, ethical, health and care”) with the restrictive terms of “telehealth and telemedicine” was used in keyword searches. RESULTS Of the 39 papers that identified or discussed ethical principles that were included at the analysis stage autonomy presented the highest risk (72%), followed by the professional-patient relationship (41%), non-maleficence (36%), beneficence (33%), and justice (33%). CONCLUSIONS While a small number of studies identify ethical issues associated with telehealth practice and discussed their potential impact on service quality and effectiveness, there is limited research on how ethical principles are incorporated in clinical practice. Several studies proposed frameworks, codes of conduct, or guidelines, but there is little discussion or evidence of how these recommendations are being used to improve ethical telehealth practice.

The purpose of the study is to provide a literature review of the work done on sign language (SL) around the world and in Pakistan and to develop a translation tool of speech and text to Pakistan Sign Language (PSL) with bilingual subtitles. Information and communication technology and tools development for teaching and learning purposes improve the learning process and facilitate both teachers and students. In Pakistan, unimpaired people face a lot of problems to communicate with deaf people due to the lack of SL understanding, learning resources, and interpreters. This problem is faced by the teachers who communicate with deaf students in the classrooms. The communication gap is filled with the development of a translation tool as Haseeb and Illyas concluded in their study that using this kind of tool, deaf people will have more opportunities to communicate with other members of society at every level. Different components of technology such as Python programming language, Natural Language Tool Kit, prerecorded PSL videos, Linux-based server, and databases are used to develop the prototype of PSL translation tool. This study provides a literature review to highlight the existing technological work done around the world and in Pakistan and also provides an architectural framework of the PSL translation tool which is developed by the researchers to facilitate the people who face difficulty to communicate with deaf people.

An occupational physician is employed to be responsible for the overall assessment of workers’ health risks and all work-related pathological situations which creates an unusual doctor–patient relationship. The duties of the occupational physician are also very limited as is their professional responsibility. However, the boundaries of the occupational physician’s duties and responsibilities are not always clear. The purpose of this article is to answer the following question: Does the occupational doctor have a duty to carry out general clinical evaluations (not work-related) of the patient?

Purpose: To identify all types of sales force control systems in the academic literature, and to cluster the mediators between these controls and the performances, according to the AMO model (abilities, motivations, and opportunities), analysing how each of these three groups of mediators are influenced by control systems, and how they impact on the sales performance, using a systematic literature review]Design/methodology/approach: Scientific papers published during the last 32 years, using as databases: Business Source Premier (EBSCO), Science Direct, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Business, Management and Social Sciences were taken as selection fields. False positives identification, exclusions after reading the abstracts, and after reading the whole article, was performed by the authors by consensus. 114 articles of the initial selection of non-repeated references, together with 28 additional citations integrated the final selection.Findings: A new framework based on a grouping of mediators between the control systems and the performances, into abilities, motivations and capabilities is proposed. Originality/value: As academic result, the review highlights that all three groups from the AMO model evidence positive impacts on sales performance when a behavioral control system (mostly from the capability part) is in use, by enhancing salesperson’s skills, motivation, and organizational conditions and support, fostering as a result, a salesperson relational approach and a customer orientation, which generate the best outcomes in the long term. These findings suggest as a managerial contribution, that coaching and leading -rather than commanding- to be a more appropriate control attitude, especially when the salesperson is younger or unexperienced.

A literature review was conducted to ascertain the historical and current use of the terms ‘compliance,’ ‘adherence’ and ‘concordance’ in relation to prescribing. Although there is agreement that compliance is not appropriate in the context of patient behaviour, it is still used. The implications for clinician-patient relationship and engagement are considered. The competencies that guide prescribing practitioners in the United Kingdom embrace concepts of adherence and concordance but do not mention ‘compliance’. Caution is given against changing vocabulary only.
