Googling Patients by Emily Beer

“…For example, the article “Patient-targeted googling: The ethics of searching online for patient information” mentions the concept of privacy over a dozen times in its ethical and practical framework, designed for psychiatrists to use prior to engaging in a patient-targeted search.[1] A later work begins with a statement that “[m]any physicians would agree that seeking information about their patients via Google seems to be an invasion of privacy . . .” [2] Informal guidelines continue to address privacy and confidentiality when analyzing PTG and frame consent as necessary to respect patient privacy.[3] Research articles reporting investigations of PTG also categorize privacy violations as a risk to privacy and dignity.[4] The AMA does not have a PTG ethics policy, but an article on the AMA website about PTG by a staff writer stated that “physicians have a fundamental ethical responsibility to respect patient privacy.”[5] Ethical and practical discussions of PTG often involve concerns for privacy and confidentiality. …”

Allestire prospettive inedite nei piccoli paesi by Nicola Flora

“… L’allestimento è tecnica specifica dell’arte del progetto che fa della rapidità di applicazione una modalità specifica per comunicare contenuti visuali, a volte politici e/o culturali, di molte e diverse nature; ma offre anche la possibilità di sperimentare e contaminare esperienze in modi che il progetto di architettura non consente. L’articolo vuole dare testimonianza di esperienze di ricerca applicata sia in piccoli paesi dell’Italia meridionale che in un’area complessa del centro della città di Napoli, dove grazie all’allestire (provvisorio e/o stabile) si sono potute esperire modalità di valorizzazione di patrimoni immateriali e materiali di luoghi altrimenti destinati all’abbandono, con grande perdita di valori civili e culturali di comunità in cerca di affermazione della propria identità e nuova consapevolezza della propria specificità in un mondo che sembra aver perso l’attenzione per il piccolo ed il fragile. …”
