Based on a review of existing literature, this paper discusses Canadian evidences of anti-Black institutional racism, the organizational “standard operating procedures” that adversely affect minorities by design or intent (“systematic racism”) or by the effect of exclusion or exploitation (“systemic racism”), with particular reference to education and law enforcement. This paper contends that anti-Black institutional racism in Canada is a superstructure whose core base is chattel slavery.

ABSTRAKBadan Usaha Milik Negara (BUMN) dituntut untuk selalu berupaya meningkatkan laba perusahaan. Salah satu upaya ini adalah memberikan fasilitas kredit kepada pelanggannya. Pemberian fasilitas kreditberdampak terhadap timbulnya piutang tidak tertagih. Tulisan ini ditujukan untuk memaparkan faktor-faktor penyebab terjadinya piutang tidak tertagih, kendala yang dihadapi dan proses penyelesaiannya sehingga diharapkan dapat membuat sebuah konsep pelaksanaan pemberian fasilitas kredit dan pengelolaan piutang yang dapat menimbulkan kesadaran hukum bagi pengguna barang/jasa di BUMN. Penyebab timbulnya piutang tidak tertagih, dapat disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor, baik internal maupun eksternal, seperti: Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) dalam persyaratan pemberian kredit, administrasi dokumen, kecurangan dan kelalaian pegawai/tidak menghentikan kredit dan tidak adanya penegakan aturan.   Agar proses penanganan piutang berhasil, perlu dilakukan upaya preventif maupun represif seperti upaya penagihan secara litigasi/non litigasi, pembenahan internal sumber daya (Pembinaan/Pelatihan), revisi terhadap peraturan internal yang menjadi faktor penyebab, penegakan aturan serta  sosialisasi tentang peraturan pengelolaan piutang. Kata Kunci :  Piutang tidak tertagih,  Fasilitas Pemberian KreditABSTRACTState-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) are always required to increase company profits. One of these efforts is to provide credit facilities to its customers. This credit facilities has occurred another problem which is uncollectible receivables. This article has purposes to describe factors that causing the occurrence of uncollectible receivables, the hindering obstacles and its settlement process. Most of uncollectible receivables were caused by several factors, both internal and external, such as: weaknesses in Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) on credit application, document administration, fraud and negligence of employees, and lack of law enforcement. To overcome those problems, there are needs to apply preventive and repressive measures such as litigation and non-litigation, improving human resource quality (coaching / training), revising internal regulations, law enforcement and socialization of receivables management regulations.Keywords: uncollectible receivables, credit facilities

Oxygen Monitoring

Abstract Background Although many studies emphasize the importance of using oxygen saturation (SpO2) targets in the NICUs, there is a wide variability in used saturation ranges among centers. Primary aim was to draw a representative picture on how the management of oxygen monitoring is performed in the Italian NICUs. Second aim was to identify healthcare-professionals related factors associated with oxygen targeting in the preterm population. Methods Cross-sectional study with data collection via an electronic survey form. A questionnaire containing pre-piloted and open questions on monitoring and management of the SpO2 was administered to neonatologists across the network of the Italian Society of Neonatology. The questions focused on: the infrastructure, specific training, healthcare professionals and patients-related factors. The results of the survey were anonymously collected, summarized and analyzed. Results Out of 378 questionnaires, 93 were correctly filled. Thirty-six different SpO2 ranges were observed. Centers using written standard operating procedures on oxygen management and SpO2 monitoring maintained a correct average range of SpO2 90–95%, avoided hyperoxia and reconsidered saturation targets in relation to comorbidities. 39.8% of responders disabled alarms during neonatal care. One center used biomarkers for complete monitoring of neonatal oxygenation status. Conclusions There is considerable variation in SpO2 targets for preterm infants in the Italian NICUs. Standard operating procedures and specific training for health care personnel are the main factors playing a role for the correct maintenance of the recommended oxygen targets in preterms.

AbstractObjective:To report the results of our preintervention investigation and subsequent 19-month three-phase intervention study designed to reduce pyrogenic reactions among patients undergoing cardiac catheterization using reprocessed catheters.Design:A case-control study for the preintervention period and a prospective cohort study for the intervention period.Setting:A 400-bed hospital in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.Participants:Any patient undergoing cardiac catheterization in the hospital.Interventions:Three intervention phases were implemented to improve the quality of the water supplied to the cardiac catheter reprocessing laboratory. Standard operating procedures for reprocessing cardiac catheters were established and reprocessing staff were trained and educated.Results:The rate of pyrogenic reactions decreased significantly during the intervention phases, from 12.8% (159 of 1,239) in phase 1 to 5.3% (38 of 712) in phase 2 to 0.5% (4 of 769) in phase 3 (chi-square test for linear trend, 97.5;P< .001).Conclusion:Improving water quality and using standard operating procedures for reprocessing catheters can prevent pyrogenic reactions in hospitalized patients.

Recent racial inequities as illustrated by the health disparities in COVID-19 infections and deaths, the recent killings of Black men and women by law enforcement, and the widening socioeconomic inequality and have brought systemic racism into a national conversation. These unprecedented times may have deleterious consequences, increasing stress, and trauma for many members of the neurology workforce. The Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Anti-Racism Committee within our Department of Neurology provides infrastructure and guidance to foster a culture of belonging and addresses the well-being of faculty, staff, and trainees. Here, we present the creation and implementation of our Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Anti-Racism (EDIA) Pledge, which was central to our committee's response to these unprecedented times. We outline the process of developing this unique EDIA Pledge and provide a roadmap for approaching these important topics through a Continuing Medical Education Neurology Grand Rounds aimed at fostering a diverse, inclusive, equitable, and antiracist work environment. Through the lived experiences of 4 faculty members, we identify the impact of bias and microaggressions and encourage allyship and personal development for cultural intelligence. We hope that these efforts will inspire neurology departments and other academic institutions across the globe to make a similar pledge.
