Abstract Context.—On-call responsibility is an important part of residency training in clinical pathology. This task provides important consultative services for the hospital and serves as a valuable learning experience for the resident. Objective.—To identify the types of calls received by residents at a large teaching hospital, to assess how and why these calls have changed over time, and to determine the educational value in tracking such changes. Design.—A retrospective review of resident on-call records from 2 periods (2005–2006 and 1997–1998) was performed. Calls were classified based on the call subject and the caller. Results.—Although some general patterns remained similar, several differences were identified between the time periods. Calls regarding mislabeled specimens fell, while calls concerning panic values and the blood bank (specifically therapeutic apheresis) increased. Conclusions.—The different patterns identified in calls between the 2 periods reflect the ever-changing role of the clinical pathologist within the hospital system and provide evidence that monitoring these shifting patterns could be a valuable tool in the education of clinical pathology residents.

Abstract The article examines issues of local water resources using Bela Krajina as an example - a rural, karst landscape in south-eastern Slovenia. In the field, we made an inventory of 261 different water resources, analysing their past and current use along with their role in the life of the local population and assessing their hydrogeological sensitivity and hydroecological threat they face. With the introduction of distributed water systems, water resources lost their traditional importance in terms of water supply, with local population’s reliance on and knowledge about them fading. Nevertheless, certain local communities have recently recognized their natural and cultural value, as well as their importance to ecosystems, which is reflected in initiatives for the preservation, protection and restoration of individual water resources. Most of Bela Krajina’s water resources are very sensitive to pollution due to the karst surface, however the actual hydroecological threat they face from human activities in their catchments is relatively low.

Abstract This essay shows that early modern practices that used human bodily matter cannot be – as hitherto – explained by the absence of the emotion of disgust nor as being conducted in spite of disgust. Instead, it proposes to read those practices’ changing history as part of the history of the ‘paradox of disgust’. Four case studies (on anatomy, excrement, mummies and skulls) demonstrate that disgust was highly productive: it attracted fascination, allowed physicians to fashion themselves, and was even believed capable of healing. Over time and for complex reasons, however, the productive side of disgust declined. Combining current approaches in the history of emotions and material culture studies, this essay sets out not only to propose a new narrative for the changing role of disgust in early modern science and societies, but also to explore how variations in settings and human intervention changed the way emotions were used and perceived.

Abstract Background: Training of clinical pathologists is evolving and must now address the 6 core competencies described by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), which include patient care. A substantial portion of the patient care performed by the clinical pathology resident takes place while the resident is on call for the laboratory, a practice that provides the resident with clinical experience and assists the laboratory in providing quality service to clinicians in the hospital and surrounding community. Documenting the educational value of these on-call experiences and providing evidence of competence is difficult for residency directors. An online database of these calls, entered by residents and reviewed by faculty, would provide a mechanism for documenting and improving the education of clinical pathology residents. Methods: With Microsoft Access we developed an online database that uses active server pages and secure sockets layer encryption to document calls to the clinical pathology resident. Using the data collected, we evaluated the efficacy of 3 interventions aimed at improving resident education. Results: The database facilitated the documentation of more than 4 700 calls in the first 21 months it was online, provided archived resident-generated data to assist in serving clients, and demonstrated that 2 interventions aimed at improving resident education were successful. Conclusions: We have developed a secure online database, accessible from any computer with Internet access, that can be used to easily document clinical pathology resident education and competency.

The broadening of the anti-discrimination legislation and the growing use of litigation have put pressure on organizations to respond to the law by elaborating formal rules and, in the case of France, negotiating collective agreements on union rights. This article addresses the issue of union victimization by investigating the various organizational responses to anti-discrimination law. By focusing on in-depth case studies over a long period of time, it offers new insights into the processes whereby law is internalized and how they interact with litigation over time, and also highlights the active, contested and changing role of HR professionals and trade unionists in the shaping of organizational responses.

The authors investigate the overall and subarea influence of a comprehensive set of marketing and marketing-related journals at three points in time during a 30-year period using a citation-based measure of structural influence. The results show that a few journals wield a disproportionate amount of influence in the marketing journal network as a whole and that influential journals tend to derive their influence from many different journals. Different journals are most influential in different subareas of marketing; general business and managerially oriented journals have lost influence, whereas more specialized marketing journals have gained in influence over time. The Journal of Marketing emerges as the most influential marketing journal in the final period (1996–97) and as the journal with the broadest span of influence across all subareas. Yet the Journal of Marketing is notably influential among applied marketing journals, which themselves are of lesser influence. The index of structural influence is significantly correlated with other objective and subjective measures of influence but least so with the impact factors reported in the Social Sciences Citation Index. Overall, the findings demonstrate the rapid maturation of the marketing discipline and the changing role of key journals in the process.

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to present different implemented innovations in education focused on the specific course “Industrial Constructions” at Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Industriales (ETSII) Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), that for more than ten years have been adopted, in order to propose a more adequate framework for learning and evaluation. This paper reports on the outcomes of a research study to clarify the role of class size and identify other constraints to the success of innovative actions.The research covers several years and it includes different number of students´ groups through that period. The course has been included in diverse educative programs over time, but also varied innovative actions have been implemented as well, including experiential learning with practical perspective and magisterial lessons approach, and experiential learning combined with flipped classroom and gamification, etc. The linear perspective of the research allows to compare different instances as well as the conclusions and feelings from teachers´ perspective in accordance. It is not claimed a fully rigorous statistical robustness in the comparison because there are many uncontrolled variables, therefore, it is highlighted that the comparison is a qualitative one, with high added value from the teacher’s perspective.The analysis shows some expected results regarding the size of the groups but also other interesting results regarding motivation and students´ skills that can contribute to enhance teachers´ perspective in their selection of the best methodology.ResumenEl objetivo de este artículo es presentar diferentes metodologías innovadoras en educación realizadas en el curso de “Construcciones Industriales” durante más de diez años en la Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Industriales (ETSII) de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, para proponer una estructura de aprendizaje y evaluación. Este estudio presenta los resultados de la investigación sobre la influencia del tamaño de clase e identificar otras limitaciones con el éxito de las acciones de innovación educativa.En los diez años en los que se ha realizado esta investigación participan grupos de clase con diferentes números de estudiantes. Esta asignatura se ha impartido en diversos programas docentes y con diferentes metodologías, como son clase magistral y aprendizaje práctico de trabajo de grupo, y aprendizaje práctico con clase invertida y gamificación. La visión de la investigación permite comparar distintos casos así como las conclusiones conforme a las opiniones y puntos de vista de los profesores. No se trata de un estudio comparativo con un alto rigor estadístico debido al número de variables adicionales, por lo que se subraya que las conclusiones del estudio son cualitativas con un alto valor del enfoque del profesor.El análisis muestra algunos resultados esperados respecto el tamaño de la clase, pero también otros resultados interesantes en cuanto a la motivación y competencias de los alumnos que pueden contribuir a mejorar el enfoque de los profesores en la selección de la mejor metodología.

The early modern commercial book market was the cradle of authorial branding. Authors and publishers increasingly explored the construction of authorial brands: a set of recurring and recognizable characteristics associated with authorial images. This chapter looks at branding in the context of the media landscape of the early modern Dutch Republic. Authorial branding developed over time in conjunction with new conceptions of the individual, technological innovations, and the changing role of – amongst others – patrons and publishers. Analyses of the branding of Jan Jansz. Starter (1593-1626) and Sara Maria van der Wilp (1716-1803) illustrate how the non-formalized, dynamic constellation of the literary field inspired various agents to create a range of (multifaceted) author brands on the spectrum ‘economic-symbolic’.
