Suicide as a medical education curricular topic: a documentary analysis of Brazilian federal medical schools

Purpose Physicians worldwide need to be able to identify and assess suicide risk or behavior in their consults. The proper training of medical staff is an important form of suicide prevention, especially because 80% of the patients who died by suicide were in contact with a health-care service in the year of their death. The purpose of this study is to verify if some of the most important Brazilian medical schools includes discussions regarding suicide in their curricula, and describe them. Design/methodology/approach The study performed a documentary analysis of all Brazilian federal higher education institutions. The analysis involved selecting the institutions that approached the topic of suicide in their curricula, and sorting it by keywords. The curricula that contained such keywords were then entirely read, analyzed and all components found were described regarding course period, workload and approach. Findings Within the 68 analyzed institutions, 19 (28%) included suicide in their curricula with a total of 31 components approaching suicide among them. Those components belonged to different stages of the course and had different workloads and approaches. A total of seven different approaches were identified: Clinical (54.8%); Emergency (16.1%); Medical Psychology (9.7%); Ethics (6.5%); Social (6.5%); Occupational (3.2%) and Forensic (3.2%). Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the study is the first to address medical education regarding suicide in a large number of Brazilian institutions. It is also one of the few studies worldwide to quantify suicide discussion on a large number of institutions using documentary analysis.

On the legitimacy and apoliticality of public sector performance audit: exploratory evidence from Canada and Denmark

PurposeThe increasing uptake of performance auditing (PA), which entails both the facilitation and the control of government policies, has seriously challenged state auditors' claims that they are apolitical. This article aims to understand how supreme audit institutions (SAIs) operate to maintain and nurture the political neutrality and legitimacy of their PA.Design/methodology/approachThe authors draw on Suchman's typology on legitimacy (1995) to analyze the PA reports of two countries with a long history of both performance auditing and accusations of political interference, namely Canada and Denmark. Documentary analysis and interview methods are employed.FindingsThis study shows how the two SAIs have been pursuing pragmatic, moral and cognitive legitimacy through the professionalization and standardization of both the form and the content of their PA reports. Engaging and maintaining the dialogue with the audited administration, triangulating recognized social science methods, and emphasizing the “public interest” basis of PA reflect some of the tools adopted to navigate the “grey zone” between objective, relevant and politically sensitive audits.Research limitations/implicationsThe paper's explorative approach limits the possibility for robust testing of the causal forces impinging on SAIs' choices of legitimation strategies. Nevertheless, variations between the Canadian and Danish SAIs in the strategic use of some legitimacy tools such as the media suggest a difference in the role of Public Accounts Committee in the two countries that can be investigated in future research.Originality/valueMuch research exists questioning the political neutrality of PA, yet there has not been much discussion on how SAIs have been able to develop and preserve the prevalent legitimacy of their PA amid the criticism. More specifically, our research reveals the tendency of both the Canadian and Danish SAIs to strategically underline the “public interest” dimension of their performance audits in an attempt to increase both their legitimacy and political neutrality.

The Potential to Build Collective Capacity for Organisational Learning in the Context of Teachers’ Use of Digital Technology for School Improvement

This article considers how digital spaces focused on whole school improvement combined with supportive leadership may be mobilised towards building collective capacity for evidence-informed practice and organisational learning. This topic originated from a qualitative, multi-method design-based research (DBR) project that studied practitioners’ use of an online resource for primary school practitioners called Pathways for school improvement, designed by Oxford University Press (OUP). Semi-structured interviews, participant observations and a documentary analysis were conducted with teachers and senior leaders in five primary schools across England between 2014 and 2016. Connections were made with the dynamic approach to school improvement (DASI) that encourages practitioners to systematically engage with a variety of evidence in their reflections and efforts to design school and classroom improvement strategies. Pathways’ four-step system and series of systematised tasks under each step seemed to provide opportunities for practitioners to explore elements of theory and practice in conjunction with empirical and pupil performance data, and potentially guide them through how to collaborate with others in developing specific whole school approaches to improvement. Opportunities and challenges in developing collective capacity for improvement are also explored.

Dimensões dos Riscos nas Políticas de Combate à Violência Contra a Mulher Durante a Pandemia de COVID-19 em Aracaju (Sergipe) ## Risk Dimensions in Policies to Combat Violence Against Women During COVID-19 in Aracaju (Sergipe)

Relatórios de organizações internacionais e notícias veiculadas na mídia têm apontado o aumento do número de casos de violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher -VDFM, durante a pandemia da Covid-19. Diante disso, é fundamental compreender a efetividade das políticas públicas desenvolvidas. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar as dimensões dos riscos nas políticas de combate à VDFM no período de crise sanitária. A pesquisa utilizou um desenho qualitativo de estudo de caso único, sendo a unidade de caso o Departamento de Atendimento a Grupos Vulneráveis - DAGV e, como sujeito da pesquisa, a Delegacia de Atendimento à Mulher - DEAM. A técnica de análise de conteúdo foi utilizada em quatro entrevistas concedidas por servidores do quadro do DAGV. Também foi realizada análise documental em 210 inquéritos abertos entre maio e julho de 2020. Verificou-se que o rol de medidas protetivas de urgência trazidas pela Lei Maria da Penha - LMP - e demais instrumentos de gestão de risco contribuem com a efetividade dos trabalhos da rede de apoio e enfrentamento à VDFM. Porém, há fragilidades que devem ser corrigidas, tais como estrutura física do DAGV, ampliação do efetivo policial, atualização e ampliação do Formulário Nacional de Avaliação de Riscos, atuação multidisciplinar articulada e atualização de práticas de gestão gerencial em toda a rede de apoio. O trabalho contribuiu com a identificação de fatores de riscos no atendimento inicial às vítimas e também na fase de andamento do inquérito. Por fim, faz a apresentação de sugestões para mitigá-los e/ou evitá-los. ABSTRACTReports from international organizations and news broadcasted in the media have pointed out the increase in the number of cases of domestic and family violence against women - VDFM, during the Covid-19 pandemic. Given this, it is essential to understand the effectiveness of the public policies developed. The objective of this paper is to analyze the dimensions of risks in policies to combat VDFM in the period of health crisis.

The technique of content analysis was used in four interviews given by employees of the DAGV. Documentary analysis was also carried out in 210 inquiries opened between May and July 2020. It was verified that the list of urgent protective measures brought by the Maria da Penha Law - LMP - and other instruments of risk management contribute to the effectiveness of the work of the network of support and confrontation to the VDFM. However, there are weaknesses that must be corrected, such as the physical structure of the DAGV, expansion of the police force, updating and expansion of the National Risk Assessment Form, articulated multidisciplinary action, and updating of management practices throughout the support network. The work contributed with the identification of risk factors in the initial care to the victims and also in the progress phase of the investigation. Finally, it makes suggestions to mitigate and/or avoid them.

A Study on Robert Keohane’s Idea of “Power”

Robert Keohane is a leading contemporary international relations scholar. His ideas and doctrines are important parts of neoliberal institutionalism. In his books Power and Interdependence, and After Hegemony: Cooperation and Discord in the World Political Economy, he has a unique perspective on power, a core concept of international relations, that differs from realism and constructivism. This paper uses documentary analysis to distill and summarize the discussion of power in Robert Keohane’s work, which helps to systematically study the neoliberal institutionalist view of power and to make the classic theory show its charm beyond its time.
