Despite its origins, openness in the judiciary has expanded beyond transparency and, therefore, beyond the common law open justice principle. Several initiatives worldwide are echoing this trend and a new term, open judiciary, is arising as a way to address openness in the justice field. This chapter gives an overview of open judiciary initiatives worldwide, focusing on some of the most successful, in order to identify drivers of adoption, critical success factors, and preliminary results. The research is embedded in a broader exploratory study on the state of the art of open judiciary. The chapter is addressed to answer two of the research questions: What are some learning practices that can be identified worldwide in relation to openness in the judiciary? What are some of the most important lessons that can be learnt from these practices?

Global Initiatives

In response to global initiatives, Indonesia has increased efforts to register all children at birth. Birth registration has a core goal to transform the act of childbirth into a legal statement about the obligations and entitlements of belonging to a nation-state. Drawing upon a multi-method exploratory study conducted in 2014 in four low-income, high out-migration Sasak communities in East Lombok, this chapter discusses childbirth and birth registration practices in families where the mother or father leave the island for extended periods of low-skill, temporary work. Migration, Sasak pregnancy practices, state childbirth management, and the meaning of documents become bound up with procedures by which the state seeks to align kin and other local relatedness in conformity with membership in the state. Despite the institutionalization of midwives as agents of birth registration, the limited success of state efforts to register children is evident in the ways that migrant families navigate, circumvent, ignore, and selectively exploit the official system, thereby supporting their priorities around work and family. The implications of these patterns for Indonesian birth registration goals are noted.

Abstract Aim To conduct an exploratory study about cancer incidence and mortality in rural workers in the state of Acre, Brazil. Methods The Proportional Cancer Incidence Ratio (PCIR) was calculated for rural male workers who live in Rio Branco, Acre, with histological diagnosis of cancer, and the Cancer Mortality Odds Ratio (CMOR) comparing cancer deaths occurred in rural workers in the state of Acre with those occurred in people with other occupations in the period from 2007 to 2012. Results High and statistically significant PCIR were observed for tumors of larynx, PCIR = 7.55 (95% CI 4.23-12.46); melanoma, PCIR = 11.44 (95% CI 6.55-18.54); and non – Hodgkin lymphoma, PCIR = 10.00 (95% CI 5.17-17.50) compared to the population of Rio Branco. Regarding the mortality compared analysis, we can observe CMOR = 6.94 (95% CI 1.73-27.89) for pancreatic cancer and CMOR = 13.89 (95% CI 1.25-153.60) for cancer of the urinary tract. Conclusion The results suggest an increase in the incidence estimates of mortality for selected tumor sites among rural workers that are consistent with the literature.

During the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic (16 March–5 May 2020), the Greek government took measures to close churches in order to protect the public health of the population. In this case, the purpose of this paper is to explore the response of Greek believers and Churches to the measures of the state, and whether these attitudes are affected by sociodemographic characteristics. Moreover, there was a collection of data on the attitudes of 353 believers through questionnaires, and the proper examination of these data through descriptive analysis and cross-tabulation analysis. The survey results showed that most believers are convinced that national measures are necessary, and they also revealed that believers’ attitudes vary according to demographic variables.

A superlotação das Unidades de Pronto Atendimento (UPAs) tem se tornado uma preocupação frequente para gestores e profissionais da saúde, pois gera mais custo para o sistema de saúde e auxilia na sobrecarga das equipes de trabalho. O objetivo deste estudo foi caracterizar e analisar a administração de medicamentos injetáveis prescritos em Unidade de Pronto Atendimento da região noroeste do Paraná. Foi utilizado um estudo descritivo e exploratório no período de 01 de junho a 31 de agosto de 2013. A população em estudo constituiu-se de uma amostra aleatória de 285 pacientes. As prescrições foram avaliadas quanto à dose, via de administração e diluição, e o tempo médio de administração dos medicamentos foi monitorado. Para análise dos dados foi empregada estatística descritiva baseada na distribuição de frequências e medidas de tendência central. A via de administração foi informada em 99,3% das prescrições; entretanto, em 95,8% dos casos a dose não foi informada. As soluções diluentes utilizadas foram compatíveis com os medicamentos prescritos, embora tenha sido observada uma grande variação nos volumes das diluições, havendo necessidade de intervenção farmacêutica. Observou-se que o tempo médio de administração de medicamentos não foi responsável pelo aumento no tempo de permanência do paciente no serviço de saúde. Monitoring the Administration of Injectable Medicine in First Aid Clinics ABSTRACT: Overcrowding in first aid clinics (UPAs) is a great concern for health managers and professionals since it increases costs and overloads health teams. Current study characterizes and analyzes the administration of injectable medicines prescribed in first aid clinics in the northwestern region of the state of Paraná, Brazil. The descriptive and exploratory study was undertaken between 1st June and 31st August 2013 with a randomized selected population of 285 patients. Prescriptions were assessed according to dose, administration mode, dilution and the mean time for the administration of the medicine. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics based on the distribution of frequencies and trend measures. Administration mode was informed in 99.3% of prescriptions, although the dose was not given in 95.8% of cases. Dilution solutions were compatible to the medicines even though there was a great variation in dilution volumes, which required pharmaceutical intervention. Average time in the administration of medicines did not cause an increase in the patient´s permanence time at the unit.
