Humanitarian diplomacy and the countries of the Global South: Trends and discourses by D. A. Kuznetsov, V. A. Dmitrieva

“…The authors identify several general principles of humanitarian diplomacy shared by the countries of the Global South: a broad, pluralistic understanding of the humanitarian agenda to include cultural, scientific, academic, and youth policy issues; commitment to the ideas of solidarity and humanitarian cooperation (instead of the donor-recipient model); normative neutrality of the humanitarian policy; adherence to the principles of state sovereignty.…”

Influence of refining slag composition on nonmetallic inclusions in 38CrMoAl steel by Guofang Xu, Shiheng Liang, Bo Song, Wei Liu, Shufeng Yang, Li Zhao, Yabing Zhang

“…To achieve economic transfer of calcium and accurate inclusion modification by utilizing the high basicity of slag instead of calcium treatment, the refining slag of 38CrMoAl steel was optimized through thermodynamic calculations in view of the large size and high melting point of nonmetallic inclusions that occur during the production of the steel grade in the refining process of a domestic plant. …”

Healthcare access, quality of care and efficiency as healthcare performance measures: A Canadian health service view by Yamin Tauseef JAHANGIR, Elena NEITERMAN, Craig R. JANES, Samantha B. MEYER

“…We found an immediate need for patient-centred outcome measures in service and clinical quality instead of surrogate outcome measures, need for improved measures on the rate of service utilization such as in terms of service-orientation and pa- tient satisfaction, and a need for more robust approach in measuring allocative efficiency in healthcare to be the key areas of strengthening performance assessments. …”

Turning to friends in preference to parents for support in early adolescence: does this contribute to the gender difference in depressive symptoms? by Nicky Wright, Helen Sharp, Jessica Gay, Andrew Pickles, Jonathan Hill

“…This reflects either a gender difference in social vulnerability to depression or a greater impact of depression on the reliance on friends instead of parents in girls. While clarifying the directions of influence requires prospective study, these findings provide the first evidence that the assessment of depression in young adolescents should consider the degree of reliance on friends and parents.…”
